Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 574 Defeat
He patted his head, unable to figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.After staying with Xia Zijin for so long, Rong Yu had never had any doubts about Xia Zijin's words, so he immediately sent someone to secretly watch these three people, and if there was any change, report to him immediately.

Xiao Fu naturally didn't know that he was being suspected, and he was being suspected by Xia Zijin who was thousands of miles away from here. He tried his best to make the Wei soldier let go, couldn't help feeling angry, and stepped forward He patted the soldier's cheek, and his usually gentle face showed a dark and deep feeling, "You have a backbone, but I want to see how long you can last, hit me until he says so."

The other party gritted his teeth, unwilling to speak, just glared at Xiao Fu fiercely, and refused to say a word.Xiao Fu stamped his feet angrily, and could only turn around and leave. The soldier looked at his back with a complex look in his eyes.

The sun outside was glaring, Xiao Fu had just walked out, and he was still not used to it, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes, and waited for the pupils to get used to it before slowly opening them.Xia Qin was bringing people over, and when he saw him coming out, his complexion sank. For some reason, he didn't like the prefect of Yingzhou very much in his heart.

However, gentleness on face is still necessary.After Xiao Fu saluted him, he got up and said goodbye.

Not long after Rong Yu returned to the camp, he heard the soldiers around him hurriedly reporting outside, "My lord, that soldier of the Great Wei is dead!"

He was resting on the soft couch, taking off the bandage on his arm with one hand, and was about to change his dressing, when he heard this sentence, he frowned, and jumped down barefoot without thinking about wrapping up the bandage again , hurried to the door, and lifted the curtain, "What are you talking about? Come in."

"My lord, what are you..." Seeing that he was changing his dressing, the soldier couldn't help but patted his head, ready to leave, but Rong Yu saw his hesitation and dragged him in at once.

"Tell me, what's going on, it's so good, why did the person die?" Rong Yu stared at him coldly, and quickly flashed the three names that Xia Zijin told him before, feeling agitated.

The soldier pondered for a moment before saying: "The magistrate went to reprimand him earlier, but he didn't expect him to be tortured like that without saying anything. As soon as the magistrate left, His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, passed by. The prisoner really couldn't bear it." , was beaten to death.”

Was it because he couldn't bear it and was beaten to death, or was someone deliberately killing people to silence him?This prisoner was an important clue, and it was really unsatisfactory to die like this.But if this person was really Xia Qixuan, there was no need to catch him and deliver him to him.

However, he died in Xia Qixuan's hands again.Rong Yu is good at force, not good at strategy, but he is the commander of this army, if such a thing happened, if he can't figure it out, his position as the commander may have to be replaced.

As for Xia Qixuan, he was also taken aback when the prisoner died, and then his expression became gloomy, and Xiao Fu's figure flashed across his mind inexplicably.Although this person died at his hands, if Xiao Fu hadn't used too much torture before, such an accident would not have happened.

Thinking of this, Xia Qixuan grasped the palm of his sleeve tightly, snorted coldly, turned around and walked away.

Rong Yu analyzed for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why. He could only tell Xia Zijin all the things that happened recently in the form of letters.However, all of this was too late.

That night, Xia Qin led the army to sneak in through the secret passage. After fighting for several days, the food and grass were insufficient, and the soldiers guarding the city were already exhausted. Facing the surprise attack of Wei soldiers inside and outside the city, they were vulnerable , losing ground.

Even Rong Yu sitting in the town in person could not change the severity of the invasion of Wei soldiers in the city.With a livid face, he hesitated for a moment, and still invited someone to the prefect of Yingzhou, intending to ask him if he would abandon the city and flee.

Xia Qin wanted to fight for the throne, so what he wanted to kill were the soldiers in the city, not the common people. Even if he temporarily gave up Yingzhou, these common people would be fine.After all, popular support is also extremely important to Xia Qin.

However, after the people he sent went to the government office, they found that the government office was full of Wei soldiers, and there were countless corpses lying on the ground. Xiao Fu was escorted to kneel on the ground, and a strong smell of blood hit his nose Suddenly, his face turned pale, and he was about to turn around and run away. The Wei soldiers behind him were naturally chasing after him. He returned to Rong Yu with his last breath, and after reporting the matter, he fell to the ground and died.

Rong Yu clenched his fists and looked in the direction of the Yingzhou prefect from afar. He finally gritted his teeth, gave up on going to rescue Xiao Fu, and shouted, "Get out!"

The soldiers following him saw him leave and hurriedly followed.Naturally, Xia Qixuan was also selected as the candidate for the retreat. Thinking of losing such a tragic first battle, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, feeling chills in his heart.

When Xia Zijin received the letter from Rongyu, he also received the battle report ahead.Knowing that Wei soldiers were still in the city, Xia Zijin slapped the letter on the table, hesitated for a moment, and ordered Xin'er to prepare a sedan chair, and she wanted to go to Lin Wang's mansion in person.

These days, she has already investigated clearly that this King Lin, apart from controlling the Imperial Forest Army, has no strength at all.In this way, she felt a little more at ease.

Regarding the battle ahead, Lin Runyu seemed to be ignorant, lying leisurely on the soft couch, licking her lips, a throbbing flashed in her eyes, she was staring closely at the dancing girl in a light gauze, and the room was full of excitement. The sound continued.

When Xia Zijin came over under the leadership of the maidservant, he heard this series of voices, and his face instantly sank, with an ugly expression.She gritted her teeth, a little impatient in her heart, but if she couldn't appease Lin Runyu well, she wouldn't be able to go to the battlefield, so she forcibly suppressed the nausea in her heart and stepped in.

Lin Runyu had notified her through her maid a long time ago that she knew she was coming, so she didn't lift her eyelids at this moment, she still stared intently at the graceful dancer, clapping her hands together from time to time, clapping her hands and laughing, as if she had never seen Xia Zijin. .Xia Zijin sneered, knowing that he was deliberately embarrassing herself, she sat down on the seat next to her without saying a word, took a sip of tea slowly, and watched the show with him.

Seeing Xia Zijin coming in, she didn't get annoyed and didn't speak, but squinted her eyes to watch these dancers dance. Lin Runyu waited and waited, but she didn't see her opening her mouth. Still looking at Shu Chang's beauty, she became an eyesore.

Immediately, he swept the wine glass in front of the table, and roared: "Get out! Get out of here, my son, what are you dancing about!"

The dancer who was still winking at him just now jumped in surprise, stopped immediately, and backed out together with the dancer beside her.The maid who beat Lin Runyu's legs and shoulders lowered her head and giggled, knowing that he was targeting Xia Zijin, and deliberately said, "My lord, look at you, you have such a big temper, don't scare the sister sitting next to you!" gone."

Xia Zijin's indifferent expression sank all of a sudden, these two are just little servants, it is really deceiving to compare herself with them, she immediately sneered, "My lord, you two servants Such a lack of eyesight, actually regards this princess as the same as them, keeping it by my side can only be a disaster, why not send it out, save embarrassment!"

Seeing her angry, Lin Runyu raised the corners of her lips happily, stretched out her hand to pinch the cheek of the maidservant beside her, licked the corners of her lips, then turned to look at Xia Zijin with a surprised expression, "Princess, how could you It is really a rare visitor here in this son! You came here and didn't say a word, it is really a misunderstanding."

The two maidservants got up immediately after receiving his wink, with expressions of sincerity and fear on their faces, and knelt down towards Xia Zijin, "Princess forgive me, the servants and maidservants have never seen the real face of the princess, so they didn't recognize her. Princess forgive me."

Hearing the two of them talking nonsense with their eyes open, Xia Zijin held his breath in his chest, unable to get up or down, so she couldn't help but glared at the two maidservants fiercely, whether she didn't continue to care about it.Left and right, she came here to discuss matters with Lin Runyu, there is no need to haggle with two low-class maidservants.

"You two get up, the so-called ignorance is innocent, the princess will naturally not blame you." Seeing Xia Zijin's expression turned calm, Lin Runyu knew that she had swallowed this breath by herself, and laughed even more happily. "Okay, you all step back first, this son has something to discuss with the princess."

The two maids smiled and retreated meekly.Xia Zijin looked away from the two of them and landed on Lin Runyu again, "Your Majesty, do you know the intention of this princess coming this time?"

"My son has always been a dude, ignoring the war ahead, just wanting to have a good time in this warm, fragrant and soft jade. The princess's words are really asking this son." Lin Runyu's collar was half open, with a foolish look, smiling Looking at Xia Zijin, he mocked her mercilessly, "This son is not a roundworm in your stomach, so you naturally don't know."

Even though Xia Zijin was ready to fight him before coming here, seeing him like this, Xia Zijin couldn't help but get angry, and at the same time, he was also angry that he was blind in his previous life and fell in love with such a lustful person.

"Really? Since the crown prince doesn't know, I'll treat it as my princess. In the future, if the second imperial brother breaks into the city, the crown prince must have a way to protect himself." Xia Zijin didn't bother to continue working with him. There is going to be a ruckus, and Xia Qin will only benefit in the end. He knows this in his heart.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Lin Runyu's face darkened. Looking at Xia Zijin's back, she couldn't hold back, and called her to stop, "If my son cooperates, what benefits can I get?"

Only then did Xia Zijin smile, and turned to look at him, pursing his lips and smiling, "Your Majesty can be your dandy forever."

Lin Runyu mistook her for humiliating herself, a burst of embarrassment came to her mind, just about to get angry, she suddenly figured it out, swallowed the words in her mouth, her expression was unpredictable.
