Chunguang Brocade

Chapter 152 Qijiao (There is an important situation)

The situation in the capital was treacherous, and Shen Chuxia didn't know that when Ji Chong and Zhishi came back at night when they built a thatched hut in the forest, they actually brought back pots for her. casserole.

"It would be even better if there is millet." Now she really wants to cook porridge in a casserole. On a March night, the temperature in the forest is very low, so it must be good to drink some hot food.

In front of the thatched hut, there are two small stools made of wooden pier, on which Ji Chong sits.

Zhishi led the horse forward, and took the bag from the horse's back.

"Ingredients?" Shen Chuxia couldn't believe it.

Ji Chong smiled and said: "You have already built a hut, and if you don't bring something to eat, you will be sorry for the hut you built."

"Thank you, Your Highness, or Your Highness is thoughtful." Shen Chuxia actually wanted to ask him why he was out for a moment in his mind, but he gave up after thinking about it.

She said happily, "I'll make dinner for you tonight."

Living here is equivalent to camping in the open air. Except for millet porridge, other dishes are stewed in one pot. She boiled the fragrant seasoning with wild leeks and animal oil and put it aside for later use.

The pheasants and hares that the little guards caught in the afternoon had already been dealt with. She stewed them in a pot and added some wild fungi. She didn't know these fungi at all. Some of the guards left by Ji Chong knew them and even got them. Chicken fir, bamboo fungus, Jane is really delicious in the world.

While watching Shen Chuxia busily making dinner with a smile on his face, Ji Chong whispered to Zhishi.

In front of the thatched hut, the bonfire was crackling, Shen Chuxia didn't hear what the two were talking about, probably because of the situation in the capital, she felt that Ji Chong was in a good mood, she guessed everything should be under his control.

One is Shen Yuanshi and others in the capital, and the other is that they were at the bottom of society when they passed through the Great Wei Dynasty. They saw that the people were in dire straits.

In the big pot, all the meat was roasted. In the small pot, Shen Chuxia baked wild leek cakes for several big men, and stewed millet porridge in a casserole. After being arrested and fleeing, he didn’t eat well these days. Tonight, he can finally eat A real treat.

The moon quietly rose from the horizon. After more than an hour of cooking and boiling, the tempting soup was finally out of the pot. With the bonfire, the food was hot.

I remember that when I first met Ji Chong, he couldn't move his chopsticks a few times during a meal, and seemed to be tasteless, but tonight his appetite seemed to be good, and he ate a lot.

After eating and feeling sleepy, Shen Chuxia was not polite, and chose a thatched hut to sleep first, "Your Highness, I'll rest first."

Ji Chong smiled dotingly, "Go to sleep." He habitually reached out to rub her hair, but she avoided it with his head.

Shen Chuxia made a proud face, "Good night, Your Highness."

The bonfire was burning brightly, and the heat was blown by the wind into the small thatched hut, which was warm and pleasant. Someone kept watch at night, and she fell asleep peacefully.

The Big Dipper hangs in the sky and twinkles, as if illuminating the way forward for the world.

Inside and outside the capital, the flames shot up to the sky, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

The alleys of ordinary residential buildings were dark, "Uncle Tuo, our people went to the vicinity of the Grand Master's Mansion, and there was no chance to get close at all. Now there is no way to sneak in and kill the high-ranking thief."

Old Han Tuo's dark and thin face was faintly visible in the light spots of sparks, "Does the king of Chu support many people?" He asked in a low voice, suppressing his restless emotions.

A subordinate replied, "I can't see clearly, anyway, I haven't been able to attack the capital again now."

"The last time Gao Chen was able to attack the city and enter the palace, it should be Gao Chen's intention to let him go." Old Han Tuo said quietly, "Using his hands to kill the little emperor, now Gao's goal has been achieved, and it is impossible for the King of Chu to attack the capital again. .”

But the young man thought, "After all, Gao's party is just a civil servant. Being an official may be greedy. He may not be able to fight. I guess the king of Chu will attack the capital again."

Hearing this, the decadent old Han Tuo lifted his spirits, "Yes, yes!" How could he not have thought that since the King of Chu could escape from Ji Chong's hands, it meant that he was still capable of fighting.

He stood up suddenly, walked around the house, occasionally stopped, his eyes were sharp, as if he was about to wait for the result.

The Prince Regent's Mansion was already empty, and Su Juesong took Ji's officials to hide in an unknown alley. Grand Master Gao sent people to look for him several times but failed to find anyone.

"My lord, it looks like this. At daybreak, the king of Chu may attack the capital again. At that time, without the shackles of the little emperor, he may directly ascend the throne." Some staff members were worried.

"Yes, my lord, our manpower is too small, will it be..."

Su Juesong interrupted their worries, "You don't have to worry, Your Highness will make up his own mind."

"Yes." The worried official was interrupted and closed his mouth in embarrassment.

In the south of the capital, at the gate of the Grand Canal, looking at the burning capital, Lu Qi was very worried, "I don't know what happened to my mother?"

"Lord Lu, you should still worry about His Highness. If His Highness disappears, my good days will come to an end."

"Don't talk nonsense." Lu Qi stopped the worried boat guard with just three words, "Hurry up and get on duty."

Several boat guards dispersed in disgrace.

Lu Qi shook his head helplessly, he knew about Ji Chong being chased and killed by the King of Chu, so wouldn't he be worried?Of course I'm worried, but what's the use of worrying?
I can only pray to God, so that the people in the capital can survive the catastrophe safely.

Zhang Feiran, who is usually gentle, has quite a temper tonight. Not only did he let all the servants in charge of the Zhang family stay at home and not wander around, even his younger sister who was always in charge of the house was pulled by him, "Don't go out and wander around."

"I..." Zhang Shuran broke free from his brother's hand, "I'm just going to visit the restaurants and shops, and I'll be right back."

"Money is still outside the body, why are you looking at it at this time." Unexpectedly, his sister was disobedient, Zhang Feiran became angry and looked serious.

Zhang Shuran was furious and insisted on going out.

"Boss, let someone stop you. If you can't stop me, I will resign all of you when the war is over." Zhang Feiran was furious.

Zhang Shuran saw that her brother refused to let her go out, so she went back to her yard angrily.

Back in the small courtyard, she was still looking for a way to get out, and even tied a rope to climb the wall. The girl was so frightened that she hugged her quickly and prevented her from climbing the wall. There are soldiers killing people with knives everywhere, and if one is not careful, the head will fall to the ground."

How could Zhang Shuran hear this, and insisted on going out.

In a secluded corner of the waiting mansion, Tian Tiesheng, who was limping on one leg, whispered, "Niang Luan, what if the King of Chu seizes the Great Wei Dynasty?"

Qingluan didn't expect the situation to develop to this point, she was like an ant on a hot pot, running around in the corner.

Tian Tiesheng was startled by her turn, "Are we going to find Mr. Geng? Do you want him to help the little master to the throne?"

Qingluan was confused, and shouted, "Do you think I don't want to? It's not a big problem for the little master to ascend the throne. The problem is that after he ascends the throne, what will happen if Ji Chong comes back? The little master has been hiding for eight years. Once exposed, wouldn't it be a big problem?" Let Ji Chong catch him."

"Then...then what should we do?" Tian Tiesheng said, "We have to discuss with Mr. Geng what to do!"

This is serious.

Qingluan nodded, "Hurry up to the Taifu's mansion and ask the Taifu what's going on, and what's the purpose of making love to Chu Jichong."

"Yes, I understand." Having obtained the backbone, Tian Tiesheng quietly climbed out of the Hou Mansion and disappeared into the vast night.

In the darkness, Qingluan knelt down, clasped her hands together, and muttered in her heart: Your Majesty the late emperor, you have been planning your funeral for so many years, and everything is under your control, but for some reason, since last year, the balanced triangular relationship has been destroyed At that time, the regent Ji Chong won the public opinion, and everything went smoothly, and he had a faint image of his first enthronement.

Are all these things you have worked so hard to plan come to naught?

No, no, Your Majesty the late emperor, although you are weak and sick, but even after five years of your great talent and ingenuity, you still calculate the hearts of these people so accurately, please bless the little master to ascend the throne safely.

In the Taifu's mansion, the Geng family father and son stood in the pavilion and kept staring at the direction of the city gate. They faintly saw that the Chu army was about to climb the city gate, and they were completely calm.

"Father, is it true that the Gao Clan, which has ruled the dynasty for so many years, will fall into the hands of the King of Chu?"

Geng Taifu worried: "Gao, Ji Chong, and the king of Chu who was released by us, they formed a triangular situation. I once thought that they would pull the show for many years until the young master can take charge of the government. I didn't expect... ...unexpectedly...that the first emperor died only five years ago, and such a thing would happen."

Geng Qiru and Sir Geng asked worriedly: "Father, if King Chu ascends the throne, will we be reused by him?"

Taifu Geng narrowed his eyes, "The King of Chu has just returned to his own use, not necessarily!"

In the courtyard of the second son of Taifu's mansion, Mr. Xiao Geng was so shocked by the shouts outside that he couldn't even read the book. The book boy said, "Mr. Lang, the uncle is at the master's side, why don't you go and listen to what's going on?"

"What's nice to hear." Mr. Xiao Geng didn't care.

"If anything happens, the younger ones should be prepared first, and they can set off immediately if they want to escape."

As if hearing some of the funniest jokes, Mr. Xiao Geng leaned forward and backward with a smile, "Everyone in the capital fled, and my father and elder brother did not escape either."

"Ah..." The book boy was very surprised, "Why?"

Why?How can you tell such a thing to a servant?
Master Xiao Geng smiled, "Buddha said, don't say...don't say..."

"..." Xiao Tongxin said that it would be better to faint to death.

After sleeping until dawn, Shen Chuxia stretched and got up. While thinking about what to make for breakfast in the morning, she left the small thatched hut. She thought Ji Chong was in another hut, and called, "Your Highness, what do you want to eat in the morning?"

Mu Tong stepped forward, "Miss Shen is awake!"

"Your Highness is still sleeping?" She pointed to another small thatched hut.

Mu Tong grinned, "His Highness is not in the thatched cottage."

"..."

Wooden passage, "His Royal Highness has something to go out."

Shen Chuxia was a little puzzled, "Did he sleep here last night?"

"Of course." Mu Tong explained to the master, "The master went out in three days." After finishing speaking, he realized that his tongue was not tight, so he covered his mouth as a remedy.

Shen Chuxia felt amused, and asked casually, "Then come back for breakfast?"
