Chapter 689 How many sorrows of separation (2)
"Ju Tu, what are you talking about? Who is Si'er? That's the empress dowager. These days, there have been some unclear rumors spreading outside, so don't take it for granted!" With a wave of his sleeves, he turned and left.

"Lord Jue Tu, forget it. In the Duke's Mansion, it's normal for the concubine to suffer a little. Please don't do it because of Xinyue." Xinyue, who was full of tears, held Jue Tu's sleeve and comforted him softly.

"Xinyue, don't pay attention to her, in a few days, you will go south with me!" Ju Tu put his hand on Xinyue's fragrant shoulder, and said happily while staring at Xinyue.

A few days later, after mobilizing more than [-] soldiers and horses, Cheng Rong and Qu Tu swore an oath in Haojing, and slowly went south to conquer Weiguo.

On the day when the army was about to set off, Qu Tu was driving the bay red horse, but unexpectedly discovered that a woman in a plain skirt and a light veil was riding on a white horse at the edge of the school field.

"Si'er?" Jue Tu looked at the goddess in the rain and mist in surprise.

"My lord Jutu, today the palace and the empress dowager are here to see you off with the permission of the king. You must listen to a few words of advice from the empress dowager." At this moment, a group of dark horses appeared beside Baosi, The woman on the horse is none other than the elegantly dressed Empress Axi.

"Empress, Empress Dowager, all blessings, what's the matter, please tell me!" Kue Tu hurriedly dismounted, stepped forward and saluted.

"Ju Tu, I won't say anything, thank you and Lord Cheng for your hard work, so that as long as Marquis Wei is not calmed down, Hui En's life can be saved for a while, and I will have more time to try to save him! " Bao Si said with a frown.

"Si'er, these days, I heard that some of Yunniang's remnants are insulting and making trouble in the capital again, are you not wronged?" Jue Tu looked into Bao Si's watery eyes with concern.

"Hehe, Qutu, you're so funny. You've been through so much. In fact, it doesn't matter anymore. Qutu, don't worry, fight hard. I'll wait for you in the capital!" Bao Si couldn't help but smiled sweetly.

"Si'er, your smile is the prettiest in the world!" Jue Tu looked at Bao Si emotionally and smiled happily.

It took no more than half a month for the army of Judu and Cheng Rong to sweep across the territory of Weiguo, approaching the construction of the capital of Marquis Wei. Hearing the news, Marquis Wei was shocked, and hurriedly opened the door to surrender. The enthroned vassal states have been completely recovered.

Indulging in the joy of victory, Qudu immediately decided to lead the army back home in triumph with Cheng Rong and An Tong. Unexpectedly, on the way, Qudu was besieged by unknown assassins in the middle of a dark night.

"My lord, Marshal Jue Tu and Master Cheng Rong have returned triumphantly!" The eunuch Xiao Shunzi, who was elated at the Shuilong Shuren Palace, happily reported to Chuxiu.

"Oh? It's been less than half a month, and I've come back triumphantly. It seems that Qutu is indeed the mainstay of my Great Zhou!" In addition to the joy of the beginner, a trace of melancholy suddenly appeared between the brows.

"Your Majesty, Dutu has won many battles in succession, and his merits are so high that he must be on guard!" Zhou Ji, who was beside Chuxiu, held the court wat, admonishing Chuxiu with an exaggerated expression.

"Well, let's see it this way. As soon as Qutu entered the capital, I named Qutu the Duke of Zheng to take over his father's management of the State of Zheng, and gave him the vacant position of a minister, and disbanded all his troops!" Chu Chu After deliberating for a while, Xiu finally made up his mind.

"My lord, I can hand over my military power, but my lord, please agree to my request. Let King Song not die, and give King Song a chance to reform his mistakes." road.

"You bastard! Qu Tu, don't think that you have won a few battles, so you can take credit for your pride and dare to threaten the king!" At this time, Zhou Ji, who was beside Chuxiu, scolded Qu Tu sternly.

"Your Majesty, I dare not threaten Your Majesty, but I am worried," Qu Tu said solemnly.

"Don't talk about it, Qu Tu, I know that you are doing it for the Empress Dowager's affairs. Well, I will promise you and give King Song a chance to survive. In addition, I did not arrange you in this way to remove your military power. You don't want to Think." Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and comforted him.

"Your Majesty, I have something you don't understand. Please think twice, Your Majesty! I was waiting in the middle of the southern expedition, and was suddenly intercepted and killed by an unknown assassin. I found this on the way. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty." At this time, the anger was overwhelming. An Tong plopped down on his knees, and handed a token in his hand to Chuxiu.

"What? Zhou Ji? You are so brave, how could this token belong to your family?" Chuxiu took a closer look, and Long Yan was furious, and asked Zhou Ji angrily.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I am just a close minister of the King and has no military power. Where did you find so many assassins to ambush the Marshal? Please learn from me!" Zhou Ji burst into tears and tried to tell the difference.

"An Aiqing, Zhou Ji accompanied the king day and night, how could he have the intention of assassinating, you are worrying too much, it must be the remnant party of Marquis Wei, secretly embezzlement." Chu Xiu smiled at An Tong, and comforted him with kind words.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are loyal to you through life and death for your Majesty, Mr. Jue Tu is even more loyal, please make a clear decision, Your Majesty, and must find out the reason." An Tong kowtowed excitedly.

"There's no reason for that. Could it be that you suspect that I'm going to assassinate the Marshal? It's really lawless, retreat!" Chuxiu, who was burning with anger, suddenly lost his temper, and yelled out of the Shuilong Shuren Hall.

Seeing that Chuxiu had already left, Qu Tu looked back at An Tong with a meaningless face, and said slowly, "An Tong, why are you doing this?"

An Tong burst into tears and said: "My lord, the king is too much. We thought he was a wise king, so we elected him to the throne, but unexpectedly, the king will repay his kindness and be suspicious of us! I really don't know what will happen in the future that we can't think of. crisis!"

"Nonsense, An Tong, I belong to the Zheng family and serve the country loyally, how can I blame the king, go back quickly, let's hand over the military power!" Ju Tu sternly reprimanded An Tong.

At this moment, someone in the harem started shouting: "His Royal Highness King Song has committed suicide!" Digging and An Tong, who were still in shock, and Cheng Rong, who rushed over, were immediately dumbfounded.

"Why is this? Hui En is still doomed to die in the end!" Bao Si, who heard the sad news about King Song, couldn't help crying, full of grief.

"Little master, your health is important. In fact, the king of Song did not order the execution. He himself heard that Yunniang was already dead, so he died for love. Really!" Si Road.

"Axi, where is the king now?" Baosi, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, stared at Axi with tears in her eyes.

"Your Majesty is in court at the Shuilong Shuren Hall." Axi said sadly.

"Tell the king, never get rid of the military power of Qu Tu, Cheng Rong, An Tong and others!"
