Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 211 Take Back
In the middle of the night, a group of people sneaked into the general's mansion quietly.

Seemingly familiar with the General's Mansion, the group avoided the guards and headed towards the backyard with ease.

Most of the entire General's Mansion fell into a deep sleep, after all, it was at this hour.

When they arrived at the backyard, the leader stopped and made several gestures to the people behind him, and the crowd dispersed and went to various places.

This is the northwest border gate. Here, there is only one general's mansion, and the people living in it are members of the Chu family.

In the past, the Chu family was the main general, but later because of the rise of Shen Xiao, the position of the Chu family inevitably wavered.

In addition, the Chu family in the capital sent a letter, which made the Chu family, who were already dissatisfied, feel murderous towards Shen Xiao.

After discussing, they attacked Shen Xiao, thinking that they would get rid of him, but they didn't expect that all of this was just Shen Xiao's play following the emperor's words.

Now, Shen Xiao has recovered from his injuries and sneaked into the general's mansion with the emperor's people. Tonight is the end of the general of the Chu family.

He went straight to the main room. Shen Xiao was very familiar with the General's Mansion. Although his injuries were not completely healed, it was still very easy to deal with the general of the Chu family.

The war in the northwest has subsided, and the subsequent wars are actually the ghosts of the Chu family.

If you really want to talk about treason and collaborating with the enemy, you should go to the Chu family, not Shen Xiao.

The general of the Chu family injured him before and almost killed him, but now, he always wants to get it back for himself.

The general of the Chu family who lives in the general's mansion is called Chu Junting. If it is true, he is the empress dowager's nephew and Chu Guifei's brother.

To become a general, apart from being from the Chu family, he still has some abilities.

The main room was right in front of him, Shen Xiao came to the door, quietly opened the door, and entered the room.

Going straight to the inner room, Shen Xiao heard the sound of snoring in the inner room, he quickly stepped into the inner room, and attacked towards the bed.

The person on the bed was falling asleep, but even so, he still had a sense of vigilance. Sensing a crisis, he opened his eyes and rolled down the bed.

Shen Xiao rushed to nothing, and attacked the opponent again, Chu Junting reached out and pulled out the sword placed by the bedside, and fought with Shen Xiao.

After all, the two had cooperated before, and after a few tricks, he recognized Shen Xiao's identity.

"You're still alive?" Surprised in his heart, he opened his mouth in disbelief, but Shen Xiao remained silent and focused on dealing with him.

In terms of kung fu, none of the generals in the northwest was as good as Shen Xiao. If Shen Xiao hadn't deliberately lost the battle and made them think he was dead, those people would have no way to hurt him so easily.

The hidden guards who followed Shen Xiao stood aside and didn't do anything. It was Shen Xiao's request, and he had to vent his anger for himself.

He would not want Chu Junting's life, he just wanted to capture him alive and hand it over to the emperor.

The two went through several tricks, and Shen Xiao found a flaw, leaving a bloody hole in Chu Junting's body.

Because of the injury, Chu Junting lost in the end and was captured alive by Shen Xiao.

"Shen Xiao, you arrested this general, are you rebellious?" Chu Junting yelled as he was pressed to the ground by the hidden guards.

"The sage has a decree, Chu Junting accepts it!" Taking out the emperor's secret decree from his bosom, Shen Xiao looked at Chu Junting who was kneeling on the ground, and spoke slowly.

Suddenly Chu Junting froze in place, he looked at the imperial decree in Shen Xiao's hand, and suddenly understood everything.

At this moment, Chu Junting's complexion became very ugly under the light of the torch. He knew that the Chu family was about to end.

After the imperial decree was read out, Shen Xiao replaced Chu Junting as the new chief general. In addition, some generals at the Northwest Frontier Pass were all dismissed and imprisoned.

During the period of recuperation, Shen Xiao was not idle. People who belonged to the Chu family in the northwest border of Guanzhong, he investigated a bottom line, so he was not worried. Someone would return to the capital and report to the Chu family.

Even if there are one or two fish that slip through the net, Shen Xiao is not afraid. Outside the capital, the emperor has set up interceptions to ensure that the Chu family's news network cannot enter the capital.

After tossing all night, the sky gradually brightened. Although Shen Xiao was a little tired, he didn't intend to rest. Only a few people knew about the changes in the general's mansion. He had to let all the soldiers know that he was innocent.

Not only that, but they also had to know the faces of the Chu family. In addition, they had to re-arrange troops at the northwest border. After all, this was a border fortress.

Chu Junting and the dogs and horses of the Chu family were locked up and guarded by special people, so there was no need to worry about anything, Shen Xiao could arrange everything with confidence.

In order to let the emperor know that everything is going well, he sent a fast horse to the capital a few days before the action...

…………

Except for the people in the northwest border, no one else knows the situation in the northwest border.

In the capital, Xuanyuanqi was waiting for the arrival of Spring Hunting.

In order to prevent any accidents, he deliberately asked people to talk about the spring hunting in the morning.

In Daxing, spring hunting is considered a tradition. Every spring, the emperor would lead his ministers to go hunting in the paddock.

Of course, in order to prevent killing too many animals, the animals in the paddock are all carefully selected, so as not to accidentally kill pregnant female animals during spring hunting.

The Emperor Chen was sitting at the top, listening to the ministers' reports, everything was as expected.

"The matter of the spring hunting has always been on my mind. However, the war in the Northwest caused a lot of things, so I never mentioned it."

"In previous years, the spring hunting was around the middle of March. This year, it will be delayed and set to be in late March. What do you think?" Looking around in the hall, the Emperor Chen said slowly.

For the Chu family, there is only a few days difference between the middle and late ten days, so they naturally have no objection.

The Chu family had no objection, and the ministers who usually acted on their faces naturally had no objection.

As for the others, as long as the emperor thinks it is okay, they will obey.

"Since there is no objection, let's set it in late March. The specific date will be chosen by Qin Tianjian."

The reason why he said this is because the Emperor Chen wants to paralyze the Chu family, and in the court, the Chu family is Xuanyuanqi's eyes.

The spring hunt in March will decide many things, making them think that it is good that they are unprepared, or even helpless. After all, in this way, their chances of winning will be greater.

In his hand, he has already held several hole cards, and he is just waiting for that day to compare the cards in his hand with Xuanyuan Qi.

After the morning court, the officials dispersed, and the emperor returned to the imperial study.

Estimating the date, he thought about Shen Yu's coming back soon, and he already had an order for the next step, so he waited for Shen Yu to come back and give it to him.

Right now, the Chu family thinks that he is dead, and it is the best choice to leave the matter to him.
