Chapter 1231 People’s words are scary
After Xia Zihan learned of Le Ying's whereabouts, he immediately sent someone to inform the emperor.
The emperor was beheaded and suffered so much that he almost died in the hands of that person. I believe that the emperor must have hated that person deeply in his heart and hated the feeling of pain.
Although there was no real evidence to prove that the person who bowed down to the emperor was Le Ying, she had a hunch that that person was Le Ying.
Sure enough, after the emperor got the news, he immediately sent a letter to the secret guards in the south of the Yangtze River, and sent two thousand more elite troops to Wuzhi Peak, vowing not to give up until Le Ying was caught.
However, apart from Chu Jingqi and his wife, only Chu Yuexi and his son knew the way.
Chu Jingqi went to the northwest to attack the Zhao family. Xia Zihan and Doctor Bai were not suitable to participate in court affairs, so the emperor sent Chu Yuexi out this time.
Princess Qinghui couldn't help crying, but thinking of the suffering her eldest cousin had suffered in those two months, Princess Qinghui was no longer willing to separate from Chu Yuexi, and silently said goodbye to him with tears.
On the second day after Chu Yuexi left, Princess Qinghui brought her three sons, one, two, three, to Prince An's Mansion to tell Xia Zihan about her lovesickness.
"Chu Yu, why don't you take Xuan'er Jie'er to live with Chu's family? Without Brother Yuexi here, I can't sleep at night. If you go, we can sleep together so that we can chat at night and relieve loneliness."
Princess Qinghui pestered Xia Zihan and tried to persuade her.
Xia Zihan said with a headache, "How can you still be lonely when you have three monkeys around you?"
"That's different."
"Why is it different?" In the past few days, she had been sleeping with her two sons in her arms. Didn't she see that Xuan'er Jie'er was in a very good mood recently? Even she was in a much better mood.
"How can those three monkeys replace Brother Yuexi? Talking to them can make someone angry to death. How can Brother Yuexi be gentle and considerate? Moreover, they can only make trouble and irritate people, but they don't know how to care about me at all." Qinghui County The way of the Lord's resentment.
Then he envied Xia Zihan, "Your Xuan'er Jie'er is better. Look, your Xuan'er Jie'er is so obedient and sensible. When you have trouble, he won't disturb you. He also knows how to care about you and feel sorry for you. There are three in my family. The monkeys wanted the world to be in chaos and the sky to fall, so they stayed aside to watch the show.”
The three sons of Princess Qinghui are extremely naughty. Everyone in the capital knows that they are not only naughty, but also arrogant and like to fight. They are not afraid of the sky or the earth. They are exactly the same as Princess Qinghui when she was a child, or even worse. Nothing less.
"Then let's have another daughter. My daughter is a little cotton-padded jacket, so caring." Xia Zihan said with a smile.
When mentioning this matter, Princess Qinghui looked defeated, "My sister-in-law is about to have a daughter, and my cousin is also going to have a daughter. I look envious, and I also want a daughter. I discussed this matter with Brother Yuexi a while ago. Eventually, Brother Yuexi agreed, but after several months of hard work, there was no movement in my stomach.”
Can she say that the same is true for her?
Xia Zihan patted her shoulder sympathetically and said, "When big brother comes back, keep working hard."
When Aqi comes back, she will have to continue working hard.
In the evening, Princess Qinghui was worried that the Zeng family at home did not live in Prince An's mansion. She took her three sons and took a carriage and hurried back to the Chu family.
Xia Zihan was worried that she would have fewer guards, so she sent twenty secret guards to escort the three of them back.
Although Xia Zihan did not agree to Princess Qinghui's stay at the Chu family, she and Zhuo would go to the Chu family from time to time to visit the Zeng family and accompany Princess Qinghui. Time passed bit by bit.
At the end of March, news came from the northwest. Chu Jingqi led his troops to fight with the Zhao family. Ao Tianchen also led his troops to the northwest. He and Chu Jingqi were on the left and the right, attacking from both sides. In less than half a month, In a short time, the Zhao family was forced to retreat from two cities.
Chu Jingqi and Ao Tianchen led the troops aggressively, pushing each other step by step. In the end, the Zhao family was forced to do nothing, so they suppressed a group of common people and stood on the city wall, threatening Chu Jingqi and Ao Tianchen to retreat five miles away.
The battle froze for a moment.
If Chu Jingqi and Ao Tianchen wanted to attack the Zhao family, the Zhao family would throw out the people, causing Chu Jingqi and Ao Tianchen to shrink back and not dare to take action.
When this incident reached the capital, the people in the city were agitated and angry. They accused the Zhao family of being cowardly and greedy for life and fearing death. They would only hurt the unarmed people, but they did not dare to fight Chu Jingqi Ao Tianchen with real swords and guns. .
"Master, the prince and the others dare not take action. They are deadlocked with the Zhao family in the northwest. People in the city are spreading the word that if the Zhao family doesn't let go, the prince and the young prince will probably use the entire city. The people came to force the Zhao family to take action." Chu Lin reported the information she got from outside to Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan said, "Don't worry, Aqi is not the kind of person who would ignore the lives of ordinary people."
"People's words are scary. Master, if you let the people continue to guess, I'm afraid they will guess that the prince shot the people with his own hands."
Such wars are not unprecedented in history.
The general attacked the city, but the enemy captured the general's family members to threaten the general to retreat. Later, in order to prevent his relatives from being insulted and his family from being stained, the general shot the enemy's relatives with arrows with his own hands.
A general can even kill his own relatives, let alone ordinary people who have nothing to do with him.
If the war continues to be a stalemate and the Zhao family cannot be defeated, Chu Jingqi and Ao Tianchen may become angry and seriously consider sacrificing a city's people as the price of annihilating the Zhao family.
Xia Zihan smiled carelessly, "Isn't it said that rumors are an invisible knife? If you control it well, this knife will not only be directed at yourself, but also at the enemy.
When Chu Lin heard this, she knew that her master must have an idea.
She asked with a smile, "Master, have you thought of any solution?"
"There is no way, but you can send someone outside to spread a few words, just say..." Xia Zihan lowered his voice so that only Chu Lin could hear.
After hearing this, Chu Lin nodded repeatedly, then gave a thumbs up and praised, "Master, this is a good idea. I believe that the rumor trend in the streets and alleys will definitely change tomorrow."
Chu Lin went out for a trip, and when she came back, her eyes narrowed with joy.
The next day, in the streets and alleys, people were no longer speculating about whether Chu Jingqi and Ao Tianchen would sacrifice a city's people to win the battle, but they were spreading rumors about the Zhao family's lair in the south of the Yangtze River.
As soon as this news came out, it shocked the entire Dasheng Kingdom. People in the south of the Yangtze River even spontaneously searched for the Zhao family's lair, saying that they wanted to blow up the Zhao family's lair, leaving the Zhao family with no way out.
