Gong Xue has bandits

Chapter 95
The ice and snow are melting, and the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. Before the big exam that everyone is looking forward to comes, an urgent battle report comes from the imperial city——

The Di Clan attacked and invaded three cities in a row, and came all the way to Shengdu!

The battle came suddenly and swiftly, and the Di clan seemed to have planned it for a long time.It is said that the twelve princes, Ba Yuehan, uprooted the eldest prince's party, completely cleared the obstacles, and inherited the position of the king of the Di clan.

In this battle, he led the troops to conquer three cities in a row. It can be said to be fierce and unstoppable, which shocked the government and the people.

And as the battle report came, another person was escorted into the imperial city, charged with "collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country", and would be handed over to Emperor Liang himself for disposal.

This person is not an unknown person. Although he is not conspicuous in the army, he is only a captain, but he has an unusual family background.

He is none other than the richest man in Pingjiang, the third son of the Zhao family, Zhao Qinghe's closest third brother, Zhao Huan'an.

At that time, Fu Yuanzhi made a plan, and a group of people went to Qingzhou to suppress the bandits. Hang Ruxue led the army, and Zhao's family paid for the food, so the third son of Zhao set off with the food escort team, and got a post as a school lieutenant in the army. Qingzhou.

No one thought that he would become a traitor, defected to the Di clan, colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, and was captured by the garrison of Qingzhou during the battle, and escorted back to Shengdu.

When the news reached the Zhao family, Mr. Zhao fainted on the spot, and the Zhao family was in chaos.

On the same day, Zhao Qinghe went to the prison anxiously, and saw her third elder brother, Ji Wenjing, Luo Qiuchi, and Wen Renjun were also by her side.

Zhao Huan'an is the smartest and most witty member of the Zhao family, and he is deeply loved by Mr. Zhao. Otherwise, Mr. Zhao would not have given him a quota in exchange for a sum of money to suppress the bandits in Qingzhou.

It's just that he didn't expect such earth-shattering news to come before he had honored Zhao's family!
In prison, Zhao Huan'an's face was pale, his figure was thin and haggard a lot, only his eyebrows and eyes could vaguely see some of the handsomeness of the past.

Zhao Qinghe grabbed the iron prison railing, tears filled his eyes in anxiety: "Third brother, how could this happen, how could you be collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country? This must be a mistake, you can't do such a thing, tell me What happened to me..."

Zhao Huan'an looked at his beloved sister, his eyes were flushed, he stepped forward to hold her hands, but moved his lips, unable to utter a word, after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Is Vice General Shi awake?" ?”

"Deputy General Shi?" When Zhao Qinghe was still in a daze, Luo Qiuchi behind her had already stepped forward, and hurriedly said, "Is it Shi Shaoqian, the general of Qingzhou, under Hang Ruxue?"

Zhao Huan'an raised his eyes and glanced at him, he seemed to hesitate for a while, not knowing whether he should continue to speak, Zhao Qinghe knew that his third brother had the most thoughts, and saw that he had scruples, so he hurriedly said: "Third brother, these are all things I have in the palace. Like best friends, we have gone from death to life together, you can trust them, they are all here to help you, just say what you have, don't hide it anymore!"

Zhao Huan'an's long eyelashes trembled slightly, he hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Yes, it is that Deputy General Shi, how is he doing now?"

Luo Qiuchi just came over from Hang Ruxue in the morning, and he knew the battle report first-hand. He heard the words and replied: "This time, he was also sent back to Shengdu for treatment. He has not woken up, and the imperial doctor sent there is helpless. It is said that if there is another If he can't think of a cure, he may become a 'living dead'..."

"Living dead?" Zhao Huan'an's eyes widened suddenly, and he slammed forward and grabbed the iron bars. His mood like a dry well finally fluctuated for the first time: "It's the kind of groggy folks who can never wake up. Tone of the 'living dead'?"

Luo Qiuchi nodded, Zhao Huan'an's body trembled violently, his bloodless face became even paler, he shook his head and muttered: "He didn't wake up, I can't get rid of my crime..."

Zhao Qinghe heard clearly, and said anxiously: "Third brother, what's going on, what does your crime have to do with Deputy General Shi?"

Zhao Huan'an closed his eyes, his face was full of despair, and his throat was rolling, word by word: "I did not betray the country, I did not seek refuge with the Di clan, I just followed the military order of Vice General Shi to go to the side of Ba Yuehan, the twelfth prince of the Di clan, It's just an undercover..."

When Zhao Huan'an received this secret mission, he couldn't believe it. Deputy General Shi patted him on the shoulder and said, "I think you are very accurate. Although you have only been in the military camp for a short time, you have a cleverness that other people don't have. I have thought about this matter, and looking at the military, it is the most suitable way to entrust it to you..."

"I was scared and excited at the time. Thinking of being able to make military exploits and glorify the lintel, a rush of blood rushed to my forehead, and I agreed to Vice General Shi..."

As an "undercover agent", he has indeed done a good job, won Ba Yuehan's trust, and provided Vice General Shi with a lot of useful information, but no one knows his identity except Vice General Shi.

If Deputy General Shi can't wake up and prove his innocence, his crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country will surely be confirmed!
"Deputy General Shi has all our confidential letters, as well as various evidence and tokens. In short, everything that can prove my identity as an undercover agent is only with him. If he can't wake up, he will become a 'living dead' I'm done, I'm completely finished, no one can prove my innocence anymore, I will bear the crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, and die wronged..."

Zhao Huan'an covered his face, took a deep breath, and said with a choked up voice, "Maybe it's even possible to implicate relatives. It's ironic when you think about it. You obviously want to glorify your family, but you still scare your father into a faint..."

He raised his head, looked at Zhao Qinghe who was extremely shocked, held her hand tightly, and said with a red-eyed smile: "Little sister, does that sound ridiculous? Your third brother, who is foolish and walks around the street, would do this kind of thing too." Come? In fact, the third brother doesn’t want to be a hero, but just wants my father to be proud of me. The Zhao family can stand up in front of those dignitaries in the imperial city. It's not a merchant they despise..."

"Third brother, third brother..." Zhao Qinghe couldn't bear it any longer, tears were pouring down like rain, and he said against the iron prison: "I knew you would not betray the country, you will always be the pride of father and family, we will definitely save you If you go out, you will definitely wash away your grievances..."

She couldn't stop crying, Ji Wenjing supported her distressedly, and said repeatedly: "Qinghe, Qinghe, don't cry, don't worry, as long as the charges are not settled, everything will turn around, we will definitely get the third brother rescued..."

He just finished speaking in prison, and the next day, Emperor Liang's will came down.

Zhao Huan'an's collusion with the enemy and betrayal of the country is a heinous crime that cannot be pardoned immediately!

The reason why the Di tribe was able to attack so quickly and seized three cities in a row was because Daliang's military information was leaked one after another. Shock those hidden fine eyeliners!

When Longyan was furious, he couldn't listen to anyone's words, and any intercession was useless.

Under such circumstances, Luo Qiuchi thought of someone.

In the depths of the palace, a nunnery under the moon was silent, the night wind blew through the window lattice, and the lights and candles in the room were flickering. Princess Ye Yang sat at the table in plain clothes, and after reading the letter in her hand, she suddenly got up.

The maidservant who served her was stunned: "Isn't the princess going to bed and rest? Why..."

Princess Ye Yang turned her head, her face was as clean as a lotus, without makeup, but still beautiful and moving, she said softly: "Come with a lamp, I have to go out for a while."

"Where is the princess going?"

"To see His Majesty."

In the main hall, the lights were brightly lit. Emperor Liang hadn't slept much for several nights. There were piles of memorials and battle reports in front of the case, and his eyes were bloodshot.

When Princess Ye Yang came in with hot soup, he waved his hands and threw a few memorials on the ground without raising his head, hissing: "Get out! I said don't bother me, don't you understand?! "

Princess Ye Yang stepped forward lightly, picked up the memorials one by one, and said with a smile: "Susu, if you are so angry, you will get wrinkles. It will be very ugly, you know?"

Emperor Liang's body trembled, he suddenly raised his head, his lips moved: "You, you are here... Princess Yeyang."

The beautiful figure stepped forward, put the memorial, picked up the bowl of hot soup from the tray, gently brought it to the table, and smiled calmly: "Susu, you are unfamiliar with me."

The cold wind was howling outside, and the early spring night was still a bit chilly, Emperor Liang's shoulders moved.

After a long time, his eyes were astringent, and then he rubbed his forehead, his voice was low and inaudible: "No, it's just...we've all grown up."

He picked up the bowl of soup, slowly tasted it spoon by spoon, and smiled: "Little Yezi, after so many years, you have practiced such a skill, can't you really see it?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and sighed leisurely: "I still remember when I was a child, Grandma Huang asked you to peel a lotus seed. You were lucky. You didn't even know how to pick out the lotus heart. You were going to kill us. You were still secretly enjoying yourself... Time passed It’s so fast, it’s like an instant, in the blink of an eye, you can make a decent bowl of soup.”

"Yeah, time is the fastest thing. As you said, we have all grown up, haven't we?" Princess Ye Yang showed a clear smile, and put a strand of her hair behind her ear, " In fact, in the first few years, I was not very good at doing this, you know that I have no talent in this area, and I am very lazy, and I have no way to force it out."

"The dishes in Xixia are really not to my taste, and the people in the palace can't cook Daliang dishes well, and I don't like it after learning. I can only find the recipes and study them slowly. I still have a bit of talent for reading. It gets better and better..."

"The mountains are high and the water is long, and the moon shines on my hometown. When I miss home, I drink a bowl of hot soup. My whole body is warmed up at night, and it won't be so cold."

The faint voice reverberated in the hall. Emperor Liang paused for a long time without moving. An indescribable pain surged in his chest. He lowered his head and silently drank the bowl of soup slowly. Then he raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, and he smiled at the slender figure in front of the case:
"Tell me, little leaf, you come to me, there must be something, I don't know you yet?"

He used the word "I", Princess Ye Yang understood, walked slowly into the hall, pulled up her skirt and knelt down, Emperor Liang was surprised: "Little Ye Zi, what are you doing?"

The corners of Princess Ye Yang's lips raised slightly, and she said with a faint smile: "It's just to be courteous to Majesty Chen, because what I'm going to talk about next is state affairs, and it's no longer Little Ye Zi to Su Su, but Ye Yang to His Majesty." Ye Yang does not want His Majesty to be affected by personal affairs, but only hopes that His Majesty can make an objective judgment after hearing what Ye Yang said, and make a decision as the king of a country."
