Uncle Nine

Chapter 259 She is my daughter
The impatient report at the border finally arrived in the capital.The moment he got the report, Zhao Lu's face turned pale, and he sat in the imperial study with a cold expression, silent for a long, long time.

Shunzi was a little panicked, "Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" He yelled twice in a low voice, but Zhao Lu couldn't recover.

Liang Yiru bowed forward, "Your Majesty, the border crossing is urgent, could it be—"

Zhao Lu raised his hand and handed out the report, "You can read it yourself!"

Hearing this, Liang Yiru took it with a salute, his eyes glanced at the writing on it, his face tightened suddenly, "Your Majesty, the chaos in Daizhou means that Utopia will take advantage of it. Once Utopia takes the opportunity to raise troops, then The gate of Daizhou is bound to be wide open, and Utopia will be able to invade and occupy our Dayan land.”

"That's right." Zhao Lu nodded and got up, his bright yellow robe was more dazzling in the noon sun.The cold complexion, the far-reaching gaze, drifted coldly to the sky, "Wu Tuo has been eyeing the land of Dayan for a long time, now that he has such an opportunity, how can he let it go."

Liang Yiru frowned and stared at Zhao Lu's back, the young emperor, carrying the world on his shoulders.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, there are many talented people in my Great Yan Dynasty. As long as the Emperor gives an order, thousands of troops will be dispatched, and they will definitely protect our country and not give up an inch of land." Liang Yiru saluted respectfully.

"Talents come forth in large numbers!" Zhao Lu raised his head slightly, his eyes as cold as a blade, "I'm afraid, not only talents come out in large numbers, there are also many people who are sideways, and there are many people with evil plans. The ancients said that heroes come out of troubled times. But in troubled times, there are heroes, rebels, and thieves who usurped the country."

Hearing this, Liang Yiru was slightly taken aback, "Long live the emperor."

Zhao Lu turned his head and smiled, "When did the second brother learn the doctrine of the mean? You don't have to be so cautious in front of me. There are fewer and fewer people around me who can talk now. I didn't expect that in the end, I would even tell the truth There's no one to talk to."

Liang Yiru smiled, "The emperor is virtuous, and I swear to be loyal to the emperor to the death. I will do my best for Dayan until I die."

"I am very pleased to have such a good minister." Zhao Lu narrowed his eyes, and those eyes that were not clear were covered with a layer of mist.The startled drum sounded in the palace, and all the officials rushed to the Jinluan Hall in a panic.

The sound of startled drums made all the birds fly together, made people inside and outside the imperial city panic, and also made all the officials change their faces when they heard it.

The startled drums sounded, either something happened in the palace, or there was an emergency at the border.

Hundreds of officials went to the hall, looked at each other, and said "The emperor is here", and all the people in the hall shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The yellow robe has bright eyes, and the long sleeves are brushed.

The young emperor is sitting upright.

The sharp eyes swept across the civil and martial arts in the hall coldly, Zhao Lu took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said, "Stay flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After all the officials stood up, there was only a chilling atmosphere in the huge Jinluan Hall. Everyone held their breath and looked at each other in private. I don't know why the emperor suddenly ordered people to beat the shock drum and summon all the officials. upper hall.

Zhao Lu's tone was calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous, "I just received a report from Daizhou." Holding the report in his hand, "Daizhou was in chaos, the mob was in turmoil, and a large number of troops were stationed on the border of Utopia. The army of the DPRK has formed a situation of confrontation between the two, and there is a great intention to send troops to attack. What do you think, what should I do about this matter?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials whispered to each other, and their expressions changed.

Liang Yiru glanced at all the officials in the hall, everyone was afraid, but no one dared to stand up.

Some officials even came forward to report, saying, "I think that Utopia is just a bluff, and it's not really an intentional violation of the state."

After saying this, Liang Yiru sneered and said, "It seems that without the knife on your neck, your lords would not believe that Utopia sent troops to invade the country. In this case, please play, the emperor doesn't need to beat the drums, let your lords Let's all go home and wait! Waiting for Utopia to drive straight in and mess up the capital, all adults come to discuss the court again!"

The sound fell, and no one dared to speak.

"Master Shao Fu's words are very true." Mao Wang Zhao Yu swaggered in from the gate of the Golden Palace.

Zhao Lu's eyes were dark, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, but he smiled habitually, "Why is the emperor here?"

"The emperor ordered people to beat the startling drum. Although I have nothing to do at home, I can't ignore Dayan." Zhao Yu saluted, "Please play, please allow the emperor, and I will do my part for Dayan .The minister is willing to lead the army to go out and live and die with the world of Dayan. I will drive out the Wutuo thief and return my Dayan to a peaceful and prosperous world."

"The words of the emperor's uncle won my heart." Zhao Lu said with a smile, "but after all, the emperor's uncle is no longer what he used to be, how can I let the emperor's uncle lead the army to go out. As the age grows, the emperor's uncle should take care of himself for the sake of Yan Yes, as for the matter of leading the troops to the expedition, leave it to my civil and military officials!"

All the officials knelt down, "The ministers are willing to share the worries for the emperor, and are willing to live and die with Dayan. Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Zhao Lu nodded, "I'm very pleased with all of you who are loyal to the emperor and the country. I will personally dispatch troops and appoint court generals to go to Daizhou. As long as Utopia invades, I will definitely let them come and go. He sneered and gave Zhao Yu a sideways look, "Also, don't blame me for my ugly words. No matter who it is, dare to cheat on foreign enemies, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Your majesty is wise!" All the officials bowed their heads.

"Uncle Huang's kindness, I'm deeply grateful, and when the world is at peace, I will definitely drink with Uncle Huang." Zhao Lu laughed.

Zhao Yubao smiled, but when he met Zhao Lu's eyes, for some reason, he suddenly felt suffocated, and there was an unspeakable illusion.That kind of look, very much like the late emperor.Majestic, cold, and a kingly air.

He originally wanted to say something, but when he met Zhao Lu's gaze, he was suddenly speechless.

Xu was a kind of fear of the late emperor in his bones, which made him feel guilty for no reason.

The late emperor knew him very well, that's why Zhao Yu didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of the late emperor, now when he came to Zhao Lu, he suddenly realized that the saying that a tiger father has no dogs and sons is true.

When the court heard about the incident in Daizhou, Zhao Shuo naturally began to prepare. Those in the underground fortifications were sharpening their knives, ready to go out at any time and destroy the enemy in one fell swoop.

"The war will start, when the capital will be in chaos, I don't want to be your burden." Xia Yu looked up at him.

Stand shoulder to shoulder, standing in the yard.

Zhao Shuo stretched out his hand to embrace her, and firmly attached his lips to her forehead, "Be careful."

"I'll go back to the city and quietly pick up my mother and the others, and then—" She paused, her eyes darkened, "I won't come back again." After saying that, she suddenly hugged his waist tightly. , "I really want to tell you that you don't have to worry about me. But I'm afraid that you really forget me, Zhao Laojiu, I can't bear you, and the child can't bear you either."

"Aren't you sure to win every bet?" Zhao Shuo stroked her hair bun, his eyes darkened, "Uncle Xia is like this, so should Zhao Laojiu. You must win every bet, otherwise how can I afford you?"

"Affordable, whether you win or lose, you must afford it." She raised her head, her eyes misty, "I will go—"

He suddenly leaned over and kissed her lips, reluctant to let go, but it seemed that he wanted to imprint his own trace, so that she would never forget it.Tossing and lingering, lips and teeth touching each other, no cause and effect, no peace in the world, can't compare with the woman in front of her, that frown and smile is real, and it hurts my heart.

But the world is not peaceful, and she will not be safe in this life.

Earlier it was for revenge, for my mission as the Zhao family's royal family.

Now, he only wants to do it for her.

The world is more important than beauty, and love in the world is more important than hatchback.

Domineeringly ingesting the sweetness in her mouth, it swept away all her remaining sanity.The moment the tears fell, she felt his lips stay at the corner of her eyes, kissing the falling crystal.

He will block all the bitterness.

Mottled with tears, I only hope that in the next life, I will not enter the emperor's house.

"Don't say anything, I'm afraid I can't help but look for you." Zhao Shuo held her face in his hands, staring at her coldly, "No one will know the secrets I don't know. The world is big , but if I want to find you, I will definitely find you. If I still have my heart, I am not afraid of you running away from the palm of the master. When all the dust settles, the master will return you to fly thousands of miles away with dandelions."

She nodded fiercely, "Do you remember what I said?"

"Unforgettable, never daring to forget." He pressed her head in his arms, so that she would not see the mottled eyes in his eyes.Taking a deep breath, I tried my best to calm down the turmoil in my heart, "Let's go! Go far away, this capital city has never been a good place. I don't regret letting you stay, and I don't regret letting you go now." I wish I could rub her into it. Inside her body, her palm brushed against her back, her brows slightly stretched.

Easy to wear!

She tightly grasped the hem of his clothes, and punched him on the back, breathing desperately, the faint scent of tea that belonged to him.But in the end, there was no more words.

There are too many words in my heart, and I can't say them anymore at this meeting.

The moment he let go, she turned and left.

The bright yellow skirt swayed with the wind, without looking back and without taking a last look, walking as chic and uninhibited as when she came.She should have belonged to the rivers and lakes, to the free world outside.She was never a greenhouse flower, nor should she be kept in any pot.

She is a free dandelion, which will leave when the wind blows, and then disappear without a trace.

After walking out of the threshold of the other courtyard, Xia Yu still didn't look back, but could hear the sound of the gate of the other courtyard closing behind her.She looked up at him as if looking into his face.

All his sight was blocked by the crack in the door, getting smaller and smaller, and finally completely cut off her trace.Zhao Shuo took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and her back that never came back was in his mind.

"Young master?" Xunmei stepped forward, "Actually, you don't have to leave, the Baihua Palace sisters will swear to protect the young master."

"Can Baihua Palace resist King Mao's mighty army? Can it stop the emperor's imperial decree to grant death? Can the people all over the world let my father go?" Xia Yu asked in a low voice.

Xunmei lowered her eyes.

The answer is, no!

Even though Zhao Shuo was able to stop Zhao Yu's mighty army, the late Emperor still died at the hands of Dongfang Yue.Once Zhao Lu takes power, will he let Dongfang Yue go?Dongfang Xu is bound to rebel, and Dongfang Yue is bound to be implicated.

But regardless of whether he was implicated or not, the hatred of killing his father was irreconcilable. As an emperor, Zhao Lu would not show mercy.

Only when she leaves, Zhao Shuo and Dongfang Yue will have no scruples.

No matter what the ending is, she is their weakness.

If the weakness disappears, they will have a chance of survival.

She has to think long-term so that she won't regret it for the rest of her life.

After getting into the carriage, Xia Yu didn't dare to look back, really didn't dare.He lowered his eyebrows and caressed his lower abdomen, and suddenly tears fell, "Master, don't worry, I will live a good life with the child, no matter how long I will wait for you. As you said, although the world is big and the heart is small, you have me in your heart." You will be able to find me. If you break your promise, I will bring someone back to kill you. At that time, regardless of whether you are the emperor's uncle or a prisoner, even if there is only a lonely grave, I want you to come back to me. What Uncle Xia said, how much Horses are hard to follow."

Xunmei's heart is not feeling well, Anu is driving outside, and his expression is also dark.

In the city, officers and soldiers were everywhere, and the carriage was stopped suddenly.

"Who?" Anu frowned.

Xia Yu lifted the curtain of the car, startled slightly, "Master?"

Zhu Cheng stood in front of the carriage, looked at her with a cold face, did not speak, just glanced at Xia Yu, turned and left.

"Master?" Xia Yu quickly got out of the carriage.

"Young master?" Xunmei followed quickly.

Xia Yu's eyes were slightly hurt, she turned her head and said, "You and Anu go to Prince Rui's Mansion, and bring my mother and my elder brother out, and meet at the gate of the city. I'll go find Master now, and I'll be back soon."

"Girl, beware of cheating." Anu reminded.

"I know." Xia Yu patted her chest, signaling to the two of them to rest assured.

Xunmei and Anu exchanged glances, and finally left knowingly.

Taking a deep breath, seeing Xunmei and Anu driving away, Xia Yu turned around and went straight to the deep alley, "Master? Where are you, Master?"

The alley was empty, Xia Yu walked quickly into it, only to find that Zhu Cheng had entered a gate.Seeing this, Xia Yu hurriedly followed, "Master, wait for me, where are you going, Master? Master, I am A Yu, Master!"

This is an ordinary back door of the house, Xia Yu inevitably looked around when entering the door, as if there was nothing special about it.

It's just that there was no one in the yard, it was empty, as if there was no one there.But why is Master here?
Confused, Xia Yu looked left and right and walked in the long corridor when she suddenly noticed that Zhu Cheng had entered a room.

"Master?" Xia Yu hurriedly chased after him, pushed open the door and entered.

The room is very dark, as if isolated from the world.

Zhu Chengcheng stood at the window with his back to Xia Yu, making it difficult to see the change in his face.But Xia Yu can be sure that the one in front of her is indeed her master.

Stepping forward slowly, Xia Yu frowned slightly, "Master, are you still in the capital?"

"I didn't leave, I haven't left all this time." Zhu Cheng took a deep breath and still didn't turn around, "Ayu, how do you think Master treats you?"

"My gambling skills are all taught by my master. Master treats Ah Yu as a kindness to rebuild. You and Uncle Hai are Ah Yu's closest people and relatives of Ah Yu." Xia Yu smiled, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Cheng's voice was inexplicably cold, "Then do you think Master is a good person?"

Xia Yuzhong was stunned, "Master, why did you say that? In my heart, Master has always been a good person. Master, did someone bully you? Also, why are you still in the capital? Uncle Hai—are you looking for Uncle Hai?" ?”

"I'm not looking for him." Zhu Cheng whispered quietly, "Ayu, where did you take Shuying?"

Xia Yu was taken aback, "Why is Master so worried about Shuying?"

Zhu Cheng said nothing, just turned around, staring at Xia Yu in front of him with slightly cold eyes.

"Shuying did something wrong, so she was taken away." Xia Yu summed it up in one word, there is really no need to mention many things.She just wants to forget about Shuying's good and evil.

"Because she dealt with you?" Zhu Cheng asked.

Xia Yu nodded and didn't say anything, but she didn't think she was wrong.

Zhu Cheng smiled wryly, "Can't you make up for what you did wrong? Ask her to apologize to you, or—"

"Does Master understand Shuying?" Xia Yu retorted, "How much do you know? Master has been traveling all year round, but do you know what unforgivable sin is? Shuying didn't do something wrong, she killed the wrong person. Dead people can be resurrected ? Master, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Leave Shuying alone!" Zhu Cheng took a deep breath, "Master has never begged for anything, this time I will beg you as a master. Shuying is your senior sister and also your fellow disciple."

Xia Yu frowned, "What did Master say? Shuying and I are from the same school, when did she worship Master as a teacher?"

"This is not something you should ask." Zhu Cheng said coldly, "You let her go."

"It's too late." Xia Yu turned her head away, turned her body slightly, and said in a cold tone, "She has fallen into the hands of Baihua Palace, so there is no way she will survive. Secondly, even if Baihua Palace spares her life, I will not spare her either. With so many lives in Huamanlou, she has to pay for the sins she has done. Master, except for Shuying, I promise you everything else I can do."

"You've changed." Zhu Cheng narrowed his eyes.

Xia Yu smiled, "The stone man remains the same, as long as it is a human being, it is impossible to stay the same. After coming to the capital, I have changed a lot. I am no longer an ignorant gangster. I have learned a lot about how to behave. In this world, you can’t do whatever you want. Master, it’s you who said that it’s only right and proper to repay debts. Now I understand that repaying life for life is just and fair.”

Zhu Cheng nodded, "I went to the capital and met Prince Rui Zhao Shuo, and now even the tone of my speech is different. It seems that Master is nothing in your eyes."

"Master is still a master, but there are some things that Ah Yu can't fulfill." Xia Yu bowed and cupped her fists, respecting as always, "Master is always my master. I will be a teacher for a day and be a father for the rest of my life. Ah Yu dare not disobey. However, damn Shuying, there is no room for negotiation.”

"Father for life? You followed your father, ruthless and ruthless." Zhu Cheng sneered, "It really is a tiger father who has no dog daughter. It's only because Jia Dahai was soft-hearted and wanted to keep you to deal with Dongfang Yue in the future. Now Fortunately, I really lifted a rock and shot myself in the foot."

Xia Yu took a deep breath, "I don't blame you for this matter. Both Uncle Hai and Master knew about my background, but still treated me like their own daughter. At least let me live 16 years without enmity. I am very grateful You guys, thank you for giving me the happiness of not having to fight for so many years. Huzi died for me, and Shuying died for her, and I will come to take care of you in the future."

Zhu Cheng's eyes suddenly became strange, with indescribable sadness and endless sorrow, "Dead?"

"Death is certain." Xia Yu only had four words.

"I watched you grow up together, why did you become like this?" Zhu Cheng's voice was hoarse.

"Because people's hearts are not enough, because of greed. In Shuying's heart, there is no emotion at all, she only has herself." Xia Yu is not sad, but just feels that it is not worth being sad for Shuying, "Master, can we stop talking about her?" It’s not that I didn’t give her a chance, it’s because she insisted on going to the dark all by herself, and no one can do anything about it. Master, come with me, let’s leave here and stay away from all these right and wrong.”

"Go?" Zhu Cheng looked slightly stagnant, "Where are you going?"

Xia Yu smiled and said, "No matter where we go, it's better than fighting over here. We little people don't live long here."

"Little man?" Zhu Cheng's eyes were ashamed, "Yes, I went out from here, but after more than ten years, I still came back. It's just that I came back this time, I'm afraid I can't leave again. When I went, I got married and came back. Then, I'm the only one left."

"Master, what are you talking about?" Xia Yu looked at Zhu Cheng in confusion, "Let's go!"

"Girl, tell Master the truth, if Master kneels down to beg you, will you let Shuying go?" Zhu Cheng asked, "Will you?"

Xia Yu took a step back, "Master, why bother to force you? As I said, everything else is fine, but this matter is not negotiable. I want to avenge so many people in Huamanlou, and also for Luo Huaxue hates, so—I'm sorry. Even if she is from the same sect, even if Shuying is Master's disciple, I want her life."

Zhu Cheng was silent suddenly, his eyes met with piercing light.

The stalemate lasted for a long time, so long that even Xia Yu felt that the surrounding atmosphere became weird.She carefully moved her body back, Zhu Cheng's martial arts were mediocre, but his lowering skills were excellent, and his lightness skills were absolutely top-notch.So no matter what happens, he is always the first to run away.

Xia Yu knows this better than anyone else.

Zhu Cheng's speed was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Master?" Xia Yu called out in a low voice, "Since you don't want to leave, then I will go first. Please forgive me for being unfilial and not being able to serve Master for a long time. I hope Master will forgive me."

After saying that, Xia Yu took a deep breath, turned around and left.

"Why?" Zhu Cheng shouted suddenly, jumping up and down.

Xia Yu turned around in astonishment, her eyes widened in shock.

She clearly saw the tears in Master's eyes.I can clearly see the hatred in Master's eyes.That kind of tooth-gnashing hatred seemed to be stained with fresh blood, and the palm with strong inner strength was attacking her without warning.

"You killed my daughter!" Zhu Cheng's eyes were red, "I want you to pay for her life!"

Xia Yu's raised palm froze for an instant, and she withdrew her inner strength, neither dodging nor dodging, and slapped Zhu Cheng hard on her chest.Her body was bounced away in an instant, but fortunately she used her internal strength to protect her body. After a volley, she fell to the ground in embarrassment, and took several steps back before she could stand firmly again.

There was a little blood spilling from the corner of her lips, she looked up in disbelief, and said harshly to Zhu Cheng, "What did you say?"

Zhu Cheng burst into tears and almost bit his lips, "16 years, do you know what I feel in my heart? Every time I see her forcefully smile, I have a girl who can't recognize each other. Do you know what I owe? It's you , you killed her."

Xia Yu only felt that the blood in her body was churning violently, but what made her even more unbelievable was what she heard with her own ears.

"You let your daughter go to the brothel to be a prostitute?" She froze on the spot. How is this different from what the Empress Dowager Bao Yao did?
