Chapter 586 In the end, I, the King of the Sea, still love you
“That’s very reasonable.” You Chuhong said, “Are you now the leader of the Xieji Sect?”
“That’s right.”
"Then do you know the attitude of Wulin Zhengdao toward you now?"
Chu Pingsheng said with a half-smile: "Well, at least those people haven't blocked the door of Chai Mansion and shouted to kill."
"It's almost done."
You Chuhong raised her head, her turbid eyes gradually turned cold: "As far as I know, Demon Commander Zhao Deyan's junior brother, Master Liang, who has a background in Shuofang Yingyang Sect, and Liu Wuzhou have already With the support of DTZ Jieli Khan, he formed an alliance with the Li family. Soon he would send his army south via Shanxi to attack Luoyang. Yu Wenhuaji also formed a strategic alliance with Li Mi. The former's army has already stationed in Xuchang and stationed troops in Xingyang. The Wagang army was in a corner, waiting for the opportunity, preparing to attack the eastern capital in one go. Dou Jiande and Du Fuwei frequently sent people to contact Li Mi, and the three parties seemed to have signed an armistice agreement. "
Maybe it was too much. Long, her lung capacity was not enough. She stopped to take a breath and said again: "You shouldn't offend DTZ and Zhengdao at the same time."
Chu Pingsheng shrugged with an indifferent attitude, which made Dugu Feng hate the old lady. You can't strangle him to death. It's been so long and there's no rush.
You Chuhong said: "I know that you have formed an alliance with Zhu Yuyan and can get help from some separatist forces, but...even though Xiao Mian who lives in Hunan is the cousin of the Empress Dowager, I I am sure that he will never come to the rescue in this matter. Lin Shihong of Jiangxi was restrained by the Lingnan Song Dynasty and was also powerless. Only Zhu Can could help Luoyang, but his reputation was too bad. If it were the world People know that if the Sui Dynasty forms an alliance with him, Emperor Huangtai’s reputation will be ruined.”
You Chuhong was here to help him analyze the situation, but Chu Pingsheng chuckled: "It's pretty good."
It's pretty good?
It’s still a good time to live and die?
Dugu Feng looked at the old lady and said nothing.
Dugu Feng kept winking, meaning to make him more serious.
You Chuhong raised her jade staff and struck it on the ground: "If I were the Empress Dowager, even if I didn't hand you over, I would demote the Chai family out of the Eastern Capital."
"It's a pity that you are not. . ”
His careless expression fully explains what it means to be confident.
Outsiders don’t know the truth about Wang Shichong’s rebellion, and think that the Chai family and his son were reinstated because Chai Shao’s actions in Chang’an demonstrated the Chai family’s loyalty and ability. However, the Dugufeng and his daughter He You Chuhong knew very well that the earlier dismissal of the Chai family and his son was just a show between them and the Empress Dowager, in order to establish prestige for the latter.
“Can you guarantee that the Empress Dowager will not sacrifice the Chai family at a critical moment?”
"..."
Chu Pingsheng smiled and said nothing.
You Chuhong said again: "Feng'er told me that the blacksmiths sent by Dongming were invited by you. Officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War are working overtime to manufacture weapons and equipment, and to raise grain, grass and horses. But do you really think that Luoyang can resist the separatist forces in Hebei? Not to mention that your men killed Song Que's son and brother."
Chu Pingsheng lowered his eyelids and twisted his fingers lightly: " Old lady, has someone contacted you to ask the Dugu family to act as an internal response and help them at critical moments?"
"..."
"They...can't be Yu Wenshang and Li Mi's people, right?"
You Chuhong's hand holding the jade staff tightened, and two gleams flashed out of her dim old eyes: "How did you know? ?”
Chu Pingsheng said calmly: “Among the three hundred miles around Luoyang City, I think only Yuwen was injured.”
“You also know this. ? !"
You Chuhong turned red again because she was too excited, turned her head to one side, and coughed violently. Dugufeng hurriedly took out the handkerchief and handed it over, watching her grandmother cough up a lump. Blood spit.
On the day that Yu Wenshang and Wang Bodang sneaked into Dugu Mansion, she and Dugu Feng went to Hanoi County in the north to inspect the military situation. When the father and daughter received the news and came back, You Chuhong had already gone into seclusion, and it took a full two months to recover. He recovered from his injuries and returned to 80% of his previous combat effectiveness. The first outsider the old lady saw after coming out of seclusion was Chai Shao.
"It's just a routine operation before a siege. Anyone with a little common sense can think of it. Hey, with such a good opportunity, they didn't go to Chai Mansion to cause trouble."
Chu Pingsheng said this. There was a look of regret on his face.
Dugu Fengxin said that you and Chai Shen had already resigned from their posts at that time, leaving only the title. Yuwen Shang and Wang Bodang were not fools, so what was the benefit of going to Chai Mansion to cause trouble?
“Since the person who hurt you is Yu Wenshang, you must have made your choice.”
"Yes."
You Chuhong looked at him with burning eyes: "Since you and the Queen Mother have made up their minds to fight them to the end, then I, the Dugu family, can only risk my life to accompany the gentleman. I only hope that you Don't bring the Dugu family to a point of no return...cough cough cough...cough cough cough..."
After saying that, there was another violent cough.
Chu Pingsheng looked at Dugu Feng, then at the worried Dugu Feng, and smiled: "Old lady, do you want revenge?"
"What do you mean by that?"< br>
You Chuhong held the blood-stained handkerchief into her palms.
"Kill Yuwen."
She shook her head, and a silver thread fell into the dust: "I am no match for him."
Chu Pingsheng stepped out of his arms. He took out a white porcelain bottle and put it on the coffee table next to him: "There are three pills in it. The white one cures internal injuries, the red one clears the meridians, and the black one strengthens the body and strengthens the body. In order, take one pill every three days to ensure you see Yu Wenshang again. One stick Kill him."
"This...impossible..."
You Chuhong didn't believe that in order to repair the meridians that were damaged when she was obsessed with practicing martial arts when she was young, the whole family had tried every means for more than 20 years but ended in failure. A few days ago, she was seriously injured by Yu Wenshang, and the injuries were added to the injuries. If it weren't for her deep inner strength that could suppress her injuries, most people would have died long ago.
Now Chai Shao is holding three pills and telling her that she will be cured after taking them. This is a scene that only happens in dreams.
"Okay, let's stop here today. When you recover, we will host a banquet for relatives and friends. Don't forget to treat me to a meal." Chu Pingsheng stood up, unfolded his folding fan, and strode outside.
"Mom, look at this kid... what kind of attitude he has."
Dugu Feng was blowing his beard and staring in anger from behind. Although Dugu Feng has not yet married into the Chai family, his identity as prospective father-in-law has not escaped, but what did that boy do to him? Just pat your butt and leave immediately?
You Chuhong ignored him, looked at Dugufeng and said, "What are you still doing? Give it away."
"Oh, yes." This made him look heroic in front of outsiders. The womanly female swordsman completely changed into a different person in front of her grandmother. She ran out of the small hall with her aqua skirt and blue ribbon fluttering, and swayed to the side corridor to chase her fiancé.
The two came to the door. Dugu Feng wanted to go forward for a while, but Tu An was panting all the way and wiped his sweat. When he raised his head and bumped into the two of them, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Young Master?"< br>
“What’s the rush?”
"Yes... it's the head of the family."
"My dad? What's wrong with him?"
"The head of the family said... and asked you to go back quickly... Something big... happened at home."
"What's the big deal?"
"The master didn't... didn't say anything, so he asked me to call you...back."
Dugu Feng said: "Then let's go quickly, hey..."
Seeing the master and servant take two steps forward, she shouted to stop from behind.
"What's wrong?"
"No...nothing..." She clenched the pink fist on her chest, turned around and went back home.
Tu An turned around and asked with confusion: "Master... why is she... hesitant? Is it because I am too much in the way?"
"That's not true. She is just a little unbalanced."
"Unbalanced mind?"
"If a person has been protected by you and one day suddenly finds that he is not as good as him, what will you do? Feelings?"
Tu An scratched his scalp, not knowing how to answer this question.
"Master, wait...wait for me..."
...
After burning incense, the two returned to Chai Mansion, passed the screen wall, and walked into the courtyard. From a distance, they saw Chai Shen walking back and forth under the eaves with his hands behind his back, and the warm light of the setting sun shone on his face. , and it is difficult to dissolve the gloom.
"Shaoer, you are back."
"What happened, are you so anxious?"
Chai Shen squinted his eyes, trying to understand with peace of mind, and pointed The corridor leading to the backyard slipped away.
"Follow me."
Chai Shen led Chu Pingsheng into the front hall, bypassed the screen, and entered the small room next to it.
There is a person leaning on the couch. There are a series of dust spots on the gray-white robe, which should be dried blood.
Chu Pingsheng took a closer look and frowned when he recognized the person's identity.
"Lu Miaozi?"
No wonder Chai Shen hurriedly asked Tu An to go to Dugu Mansion to look for him. It turned out that his cheap father-in-law came to the door, and it looked like he had suffered serious internal injuries.
"Chai Shao..."
Hearing his voice, the pale old man opened his eyes and struggled to straighten his body like dry wood. With this movement, he was stunned. I was huffing and puffing for a long time.
Chu Pingsheng took out the white porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill and stuffed it into Lu Miaozi's mouth. He used his true energy to help dissolve the medicine, then stood up and said, "Who hurt you like this?" ?”
Lu Miaozi’s complexion was visibly better. He looked at the small bottle in his hand with a dull look, as if it was difficult to understand that he was a man who was known as medicine, architecture, astronomy, institutions, etc. Such a proficient all-rounder, the best in the world, could only control his internal injuries from getting worse. How come he had immediate effects after taking his elixir.
"This medicine..."
Chu Pingsheng simply threw the white porcelain bottle to the old man.
Lu Miaozi pulled off the red silk cover and smelled it, with a puzzled look on his face.
Chai Shen could not understand his behavior: "Brother Lu, Shaoer is asking you something."
"Huh?"
Only then did he break away from the countless questions in his mind. He looked at the Chai family and his son and said, "It's Li Yuan and his third son."
Chai Shen frowned and said, "Li Yuan and Li Yuanji? How could Brother Lu join them?" Is there a conflict?”
Lu Miaozi sighed and looked at Chu Pingsheng with a strange expression: “After the news of what happened in Yang Gong’s treasure house reached Pegasus Ranch, Shang Peng and Shang He were worried about Xiu Xun’s safety. Then he went to the valley where I lived in seclusion and asked me to go to Chang'an to take him back to Pegasus Ranch. After I arrived in Chang'an, Li Shimin told me that Xiuxun and Song Yuzhi were visiting Lingnan. I thought something was wrong and asked Xiuxun to be more than five years pregnant. Yue, how can it be possible to travel a long distance from Chang'an to Lingnan?"
Speaking of this, he slowly said: "I thought it was Li Shimin who was deliberately making things difficult for me because of Yang Gong's treasure house, so I searched after dark. Unexpectedly, no one was found in the Tang Palace, but they overheard the conversation between Li Yuan and his two sons. Only then did he learn that the Li family had escorted Xiu Xun to Lingnan in order to gain the support of the Song clan in Lingnan. Song Zhi's purpose was simple, to force you to Taking the murderer of his nephew Song Shidao and his second brother Song Lu southward to atone for his sins."
