Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 196: Killing the former commander of the Royal Forest Army
Qi Diaolie shook his head and said: "Master, last night, neither you nor the military advisor came back. Everyone has gone to look for them. Thank God you finally came back."

"Squeak-"

Cheng Yue, who heard the noise outside, quickly opened the door and came out. When he saw Cheng Qing appeared safe and sound, he rushed out, rushed to her, hugged her and said, "Sister, you are finally back."

Cheng Qing hugged him back and said, "Brother, I'm back. I'm fine. I'm sorry for making you worry again."

"Where did you run to?" Cheng Yue let go of her and asked.

Cheng Qing said sadly: "Xiuyuan is gone. I was worried about him and searched for him all night, but there was no trace."

Qi Diaolie comforted him: "Master, it's okay. The military advisor is so good in martial arts and so smart, he will be safe and sound. Don't worry, maybe he just got caught up in something, or maybe he followed the assassin." , in short, he will be fine."

Cheng Qing clenched his fists and blamed himself: "I shouldn't have let him out last night."

Cheng Yue pressed her shoulders, bent down and looked into her eyes, and said: "Sister, this is not what you could have expected. What's more, we are facing danger all the time, so believe him, okay? He Not as weak as you think."

Cheng Qing nodded, but there was still a bit of lingering worry between his brows.

Cheng Yue sighed, his sister really fell in love with someone and grew up.

When everyone came back, Bai Xiuyuan was still not found, and the whole person seemed to have evaporated.

Cheng Qing was silent in the palace for about a cup of tea, then got up and went to the emperor's palace, asked for leave from the emperor, and then returned to the Taishi Mansion with Cheng Yue.

According to the time, they had to bury the coffin.

When they returned to the Taishi Mansion, Zhao Ningbai and others were ready.

Cheng Qing and Cheng Yue put on their heavy filial piety again and sent the coffin out.

This coffin was eventually buried on the barren mountain far away from the Tomb of Heroes.

At this moment, everyone is still panicking about what happened in the palace and cannot think about this at all.

No one wonders why Taishi Cheng was not transported back to his hometown and buried in his ancestral grave, but instead was buried in this barren mountain.

The monks who carry out the ritual from beginning to end are from Foguang Temple, so naturally they don't meddle in other people's business.

After returning to the Grand Master's Mansion, Cheng Qing left all the remaining matters to Princess An and Princess to take care of it, with Qiulan, Zhao Ningbai and Zhao Wuyan assisting.

The situation is so chaotic now that everyone seems to have forgotten that there is a little princess living here.

This actually gave Zhao Wuyan a period of freedom, a feeling of freedom that she had never experienced before.

Cheng Qing handed over the affairs in the palace and immediately returned to the palace with Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue continued to go to the palace to take over his duties and look after Zhao Wuyuan, acting as if his situation was urgent.

Cheng Qing went to the Royal Forest Army's barracks. It was her turn to take office today.

On the way, she saw the panic-looking Royal Guards patrolling. She felt a little strange and pulled the last person.

Coincidentally, the person she pulled was the one who teased her last night.

"The princess of the county."

"What happened? Why do everyone look so nervous?" Cheng Qing asked.

The Imperial Forest Army trembled and said: "Go back to the Princess, the Emperor Longyan was furious, and beheaded the Imperial Forest Army who was on duty at the Fourth Palace Gate yesterday."

"What?! What about now?" Cheng Qing's expression turned serious.

"Our commander was taken to the execution ground and is about to be executed." "Ah?!" Cheng Qing was stunned. She had not thought about this possibility, but she had not thought that the emperor would kill him at his request.Sure enough, the emperor was so kind to her during this period that she had forgotten what it means to accompany a king like a tiger.

The imperial guard saluted, turned around and was about to leave. Cheng Qing held him back and said, "I think you are quite clever. Now go to the execution ground and shout 'Save one under the knife'. Try to delay as much time as possible while I go to plead with the emperor." .”

After saying that, Cheng Qing ran away.

"County, princess!"

Cheng Qing's words were beyond his comprehension. Before the storm in his mind was over, and he was still unable to react, Cheng Qing actually ran away.

she ran away!
The Guardsman wanted to cry.

Cheng Qing rushed to the imperial study, without looking at the person kneeling in front of the door. He grabbed Eunuch Jiang and said, "Eunuch, please pass the message for me quickly. I want to see the emperor."

Eunuch Jiang smiled and said: "Princess, the emperor said that you don't need to report your arrival, you can just go in."

"Thank you." Cheng Qing pushed open the door and broke in.

The two people inside heard the sound and quickly looked up, just in time to see her coming in.

The emperor looked at her and said gently: "Qing'er, you are here. I just wanted to send someone to find you."

"Your Majesty." Cheng Qing knelt down, looking anxious, "Please let the former commander of the Royal Forest Army go."

The emperor's face turned cold, he leaned back and said, "Why?"

Cheng Qingzhen said anxiously: "Because I need him, I beg the Emperor to let him make up for his mistakes. If I want to be able to completely control the Royal Forest Army within half a month, it must be him. Without him, everything is just a dream. Your Majesty, He is my only trump card."

"It really has to be him?" the emperor asked.

Cheng Qing nodded, "It has to be him."

The emperor threw a gold medal to her and said, "This is the gold medal for immunity from death. Whether you can save him or not depends entirely on you."

When Cheng Qing won the gold medal, he cried with joy, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After saying that, she got up and rushed out.

An and Wang watched from the side and sighed: "Your Majesty, are you going too far in pampering her like this?"

If the gold medal hadn't been on hand for a long time, why did he get it all at once?

That is to say, Cheng Qing was only focused on saving people, so he didn't realize this.

The emperor smiled weakly and said: "I owe her this in the first place. She was brought directly to the forefront of the storm and made her the target of everyone's attacks. I don't deserve to say that I like her at all."

An Hewang sighed. He had also been there and understood the feeling of truly liking someone. It can indeed change a person.

If it were another person, An and Wang believed that the emperor would take advantage of him without blinking an eye, let alone feel guilty after thinking carefully for the other person.

Cheng Qing rushed out of the imperial study room, still not looking at the kneeling people on the ground, and rushed towards the execution ground.

The only thing she hoped for in her heart was that the buddy she asked to be reliable would not let her down at the critical moment, otherwise the life of the former commander of the Royal Forest Army would really be lost.

Along the way, Cheng Qing was planning the nearest route.

It took half an hour to arrive at the execution ground, but she shortened the time by nearly half.

When she arrived, she happened to see the guard she had asked for, holding the executioner's thigh and crying, begging him to show mercy.
