Chunguang Brocade

Chapter 148 Anti-exploitation (Duel 3)

Shen Chuxia has been missing for two days and one night, if he can't be found again... Ji Chong didn't dare to think about it, and raised his hand high: "Continue..." Before he could finish the rest, thousands of arrows gathered from the darkness.

"Your Highness..." The guards leaned over to block the arrows.

In the abbot's Zen room of Baoye Temple, a white-bearded old man in his 80s was surrounded by a group of men in black with knives. At the door stood a man, 37 years old, tall and slender, with a straight nose and lips. He has a beard, thick hair and beard, and is dressed in a samurai uniform. He is well-proportioned and full of royal arrogance.A pair of eyes narrowed into two slits from time to time, revealing the ruthless nature of the heart.

"Old cousin, we meet again."

The old abbot was meditating, with a peaceful expression, and the round Bodhi beads passed between the old fingers. When he heard the voice of someone coming, he raised his head and opened his eyes.

Looking through Canghai Sangtian's old eyes calmly and peacefully, "It turns out to be His Royal Highness King Chu. It's been a long time since I saw you."

The king of Chu smirked: "I'm going to bother the old hall ancestor tonight. When I sit alone on the dragon chair, it will definitely reshape the Baoye Temple, and let its incense help you to be promoted to the immortal class."

"Are you determined to create blood in Baoye Temple?"

As if he had been poked at some pain point, the King of Chu grinned grinningly: "Is there a choice for the orphan?" He suddenly pointed in the direction of the capital angrily, "What did the father gain by passing the throne to that sick man? It was the sick man who died early, Or that eight-year-old puppet? If he wasn't confused, how could Gao be so arrogant?"

"Afo Tuo Buddha." The old abbot clasped his hands together, lowered his eyes and sighed softly.

"Is the old Tangzu supporting me to enter the capital and enter the palace to regain the throne?"

The old Tangzu raised his eyes again and smiled calmly, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is already standing outside the capital, so what Lao Na said at this moment will be in vain."

The king of Chu was very excited when he heard this: "No wonder the old Tangzu can live so long, he really knows the current affairs, good."

"Lao Na hasn't finished speaking yet."

The king of Chu looked all ears.

"Many things, many people, like to personally verify whether they deserve it or not. Lao Na only hopes that one day, His Royal Highness Chu will not regret it."

The king of Chu has a great ambition: "Don't worry, I will never regret it, and it will definitely be more useful than Ji Chong. Once I ascend to the throne, I will be the first to kill the father and son of the Gao family who cover the sky with my hands, and let my Ji family be reborn in the world." Now the prosperous world."

The old abbot smiled slightly after hearing this, closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

Chu Wangxiong walked out of the abbot's meditation room with high spirits, and raised his hand, "When you meet Ji Chong, it doesn't matter whether you live or die."

"Yes, my lord."

In an instant, the fire blazed everywhere, illuminating the entire night sky.

Ji Chong was forced to go behind a small hill in the back mountain of Baoye Temple, and Hopu was reporting the situation outside, "Your Highness, King Chu has occupied Baoye Temple, and his 5000 forwards have arrived at the west gate of the capital. The Gengtian will attack the city gate, and the Fifth Gengtian will attack the palace, the little emperor may be..."

Ji Chong's expression paled, "Break out."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Ji Chong was not at the Prince Regent's Mansion, Shen Mingxi followed Shen Xiu'er back to Yulin Lane to see Shen Xiaoqiu and his little friends, Liu Weixian used the excuse of waiting for Shen Chuxia's return to live in Shen Mingxi's courtyard.

"Xi'er, how could you let him stay?" Shen Xiu'er felt unbelievable, how picky this child was, no one in the Shen and Yuan families knew how to let him stay.

Liu Wei looked shy, "I am waiting for my sister, while playing chess with Xi'er to relieve boredom, Xiao Xi'er, don't you think so?"

"Yeah." Shen Mingxi nodded old-fashionedly, "Anyway, I'm bored, so it's useless to let him accompany me. Go to sleep quickly, and don't disturb our chess game." After finishing speaking, let the little book boy chase away.

"..." The meek Shen Xiu'er asked with a blushing face, "Auntie, are you not afraid that he will spoil brother Xi?"

Qingluan behaved like a cowardly concubine of an ordinary family, "Miss Xiu, it's getting late, go to bed early."

Even his own mother didn't object to this young master, what else could Shen Xiu'er say, so she had to leave his yard.

Liu Wei looked extremely shy, and happily flattered the little guy, "Xi'er, what do you like to play, I'll take you to my shop to choose tomorrow, whatever you want first, I'll give it to you..."

"Really?" Shen Mingxi squinted.

"When...of course it's true..." For some reason, Liu Weixian felt that the money in his pocket was about to fly, and his heart groaned.

"fake?"

"It's possible, it must be true...it must be true..." He thought to himself that he would take him to a cheap place tomorrow, anyway, he didn't know how many shops he had.

"Hey..." Shen Mingxi seemed to see through his thoughts, and smiled maliciously.

"..." Liu Weixian felt his hair stand on end.

……

Seeing the two of them making a fuss, Qingluan didn't remind her son to go to bed early, but let them chatter and play together, she quietly closed the door and stood outside.

In the night, her bright husband came out from the dark place and whispered in her ear, "The King of Chu has suddenly arrived in the capital."

Qingluan looked towards the west of the city, "During the day, Ji Chong took his men to the west mountain, and he probably blocked him."

The man nodded, "This should be a conspiracy by Uncle Daguo. He wants to get rid of Ji Chong with the help of the King of Chu."

Qingluan sneered, "Didn't King Chu use him to enter the capital?"

"Auntie, if the King of Chu breaks into the palace, can the Gao clan protect the little emperor?"

Qingluan sneered, "Who is Gao Chen, who can let King Chu enter the capital?"

The man was still worried, "If something happens to the little emperor, then..."

"If dog eat dog can get rid of the little emperor, then we will let the little master take the throne."

"But...but..."

"The plan can't keep up with the changes, I believe the master will not blame us."

After finishing speaking, Qingluan hid in the darkness, knelt down and kowtowed three times facing the sky, "Master, bless us, and let the little master ascend the throne."

The sound of the city gate being slammed was as loud as the sky.

On the street, soldiers rushed towards the four city gates one by one, guarding the capital strictly against death.

In the East Office of the Imperial City, Gao Chen took the privilege order of Minister Gu Ming left by the late emperor, and said to Su Juesong, "Master Su, let's get to know each other."

Of course Su Juesong knew him, he folded his arms and said, "Yes, Gao Shaoqing."

"Then guard the gate of the city for me, and don't open the gate. If you open it, you will be executed for the crime of colluding with the anti-thief."

Su Jue's lips turned black, "Yes, Gao Shaoqing."

Gao Chen swung his sleeves and walked away.

Su Juesong picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it at the door, it hit the door frame with a bang, and shattered with a bang.

Gao Chen who had already left the house didn't even pause, and left with a smile on his face.

The close staff said softly, "Master, Ji Chong's 30 troops, the [-]th army stayed at the major borders, and [-] are in the Pengcheng area. Yesterday, I received the military order and went to the north to fight Wacha and Tatar.

A few days ago, the 4 troops in Yunbei Township in the capital sent [-] horses to dredge the silt of the Grand Canal. I heard that food and drink were provided in the local area, and those soldiers ran faster than rabbits. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in three or five days.

In the end, there were still 1 horses, 5000 of whom stayed in Beijing, [-] were sent out to find Shen Jinlin's daughter, and [-] were left in Yunbei Town, who were held back by the King of Chu's people. That is to say, now, by Ji Chong's side There are only three thousand people looking for someone, almost alone.

Gao Chen waved, "It's good to be a widow. The prince and prince are called orphans, and the emperor is called a widow. Look, how nice..."

"No... no, sir, I mean..."

"No, what you said is very good." Gao Chen smiled sinisterly, "I will reward you later."

The staff members trembled with fear.

In the middle of the night, Shen Yuanshi was awakened by the shock of Luo Gu, "What's the matter outside...what's the matter..." He ran to the hall in panic with his clothes on.

Shen Xiu'er was also standing in the living room with her arms around Shen Xiaoqiu, also terrified, "Second Aunt, I heard from Uncle that the King of Chu has reached the capital."

"What, it's not enough to fight Pengcheng, but also to fight in the capital?"

The news was so sudden that Shen Yuanshi's face turned pale with fright, "Xi'er...Xi'er..." She wanted to flee, and her first reaction was to bring her husband's precious son with her.

The shouts and killings outside were loud, and Liu Weixian also woke up, and brought Shen Mingxi into the hall, "Auntie, Xi'er is here."

Shen Yuanshi snatched Shen Mingxi away, "Brother Xi, run away with me."

"Where did you escape to?" Shen Mingxi broke away from her hand, "Just now I asked the gatekeeper's father, the King of Chu's men have already reached the gate of the city, and the gate is tightly closed, no one can escape."

Two years ago, I fled hard to the capital where my husband was. Unexpectedly, my husband was imprisoned and I hadn’t seen him for nearly two years. Just after he was released, he was sent out again. She was just looking forward to it when the king of Chu came to the capital again. With my husband...

God, how could this be?Shen Yuanshi was out of breath and suddenly passed out.

"mother……"

"Second Aunt..."

The Shen family was in a mess.

Old Han Tuo was almost dragged by the Gao Clan to guard the city gate, but fortunately he escaped quickly without being caught, and the group returned to the humble courtyard without even daring to light a lamp.

"Uncle Tuo, if things go on like this, Miss Shen may be in danger."

For some reason, Old Han Tuo smelled something different.

"Uncle Tuo...Uncle Tuo..." The scarred youth said a lot of words, but the boss didn't respond, so he quickly called out in a low voice.

"Don't bark, let me think..."

"Uncle Tuo, what's the matter?"

"Maybe... maybe this is a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain."

"Who is Tiger, why should he be transferred?"

Of course the tiger is Ji Chong, and the person who tuned in is undoubtedly Gao Chen, "I didn't expect Ji Chong to be cut off by Gao's father and son before Ji Chong got rid of them."

"Uncle Tuo, what do you mean, when Ji Chong was planning to get rid of the Gao family and his son, it was also when the Gao family and his son got rid of him?"

"Ah."

The young man was silent.

Hearing the killing sounds outside, Old Han Tuo said with regret, "It turns out that the purpose of arresting Miss Shen was to lure Ji Chong out of the capital, so..."

Knowing that Gao's father and son are scheming and greedy, they did not expect them to be more cunning than imagined, and they made a move so quickly, and the moment they made a move, they were deadly Wang Zhan.

"Then what do we do now?"

what to do?Old Han Tuo didn't know either!Maybe this is fate.

Cold and hungry, she managed to stay up until dawn, only drank water and had no food in her stomach for two days and two nights, Shen Chuxia was so weak, it seemed impossible for her to jump up and touch to find a chance.

She dragged her weak body, looking for the possibility of water, wind, and light as mechanisms.

Water, she was right under the dripping water, and she stretched out her hand to touch the place where the water dripped down, until she reached a gap through the hole in the wall, but unfortunately there was still no movement.

She went to find the wind again.

No matter what angle you stand at, there is nothing but wind in the hole, and there is no possibility of wind power generation at all. It is simply her whimsy.

What about light?

Until noon, under the strongest sunlight, a spot of light was formed at the bottom of the cave, like a stage effect, very beautiful, but no matter how much she touched the spot, there was no sign of mechanism.

Could it be that she is going to starve to death here.

Shen Chuxia slumped, sitting down on the light spot, her mind went blank, she never thought that she would die in a cave.

Don't dig a grave in the cave, it will become her burial place.

God, why did you do this to her.In No Man's Land, Shen Chuxia didn't hide her emotions and cried loudly.

She cried so much that it was the worst cry in her life, bar none.

At noon the sun was shining on the green mountains and green waters, but Ji Chong was not in the mood to appreciate it. His 3000 men were chased by the [-] troops of the King of Chu, and more than half of them were killed or injured.

Under the cover of the jungle, after being hunted all night and morning, the crowd who had exhausted their energy could finally take a breather.

"Your Highness—" Mu Tong took out the kettle for him.

Ji Chong didn't care to pick up the water bottle. With blood on his body, he looked into the depths of the jungle. After passing through the forest for more than a dozen miles, there was a big river outside, which intersected with the Grand Canal dozens of miles away.

Zhishi saw the master's intention, "Your Highness, are we going to pass through this forest?"

His Highness did not reply to Zhishi's words, "I don't know what happened to Xia'er?"

It was already the third day, and according to Gao Chen's behavior, Shen Chuxia's chance of surviving might not be great.

"Your Highness, let's drink some water first." Sadly, Mu Tong handed the water bottle to the master again.

Ji Chong took it, raised his head, and gurgled a few big mouthfuls, "Xia'er is smart and will definitely escape." After speaking, he wiped the water stains around his mouth, and the corners of his lips were firmly pressed.

"Yes, that's right, someone as smart as Shen Xiaoniang will definitely meet up with His Highness somewhere."

Shen Chuxia, who was out of breath from crying, really had no strength at all, and could lie flat as soon as her body softened.And it's the kind that just lay down and never get up again.

Just as she was holding herself up to prevent herself from falling down, she discovered that there were spots of light on the wall of the cave.

Where did it come from?She searched suspiciously.Finally, she found that as long as she moved her head, the light spot moved accordingly.

She understands what it is.It's the hairpin on the head.The hairpin gems reflected light and shone the light onto the cave wall.

If... If... She was suddenly very excited and pulled out the hairpin on her head. It was a gift from Ji Chong, so it is precious.

It must be durable.

She was going to poke the hairpin against the wall.

But... haven't those people tried it?Is she going another way?
The hairpin was turning back and forth in her hand, and there was always a time when the gemstone would reflect the light from the hole to different parts of the cave wall.

Then try?

Shen Chuxia took a step back, and pointed the gems on the hairpin to the sunlight in the hole to shine on different parts of the cave wall.
