Sheng Zhonghuai looked at Zhu Youzhen standing in front of him in amazement.

He had a undressed face, his hair and beard were covered with ice, and his whole face was cracked. In the cracked hole, there were red flesh and blood, yellow pus, and Zhu Youzhen, who was originally elegant, would definitely not recognize him if he was thrown on the street at this moment, and would only treat him as a beggar.

Because such beggars are so common outside.

The one standing next to Zhu Youzhen with similar appearance was Cao Bin. At this moment, he was supporting Zhu Youzhen. If Cao Bin hadn't supported Zhu Youzhen, I'm afraid Zhu Youzhen wouldn't be able to stand at all.

Sheng Zhonghuai knew that after Zhu Youzhen was defeated in Luzhou, he was captured by the Tang army. Then, because Liu Ruyan hated him for killing Mrs. Wang, he instructed people to torture him in every way. Later, although Zhu Youzhen was rescued, his body was no longer as strong as before. A general of the horse could no longer ride a horse and dance a spear.

Taking a deep breath, Sheng Zhong took a step forward, clasped his fists and bowed: "Third Prince."

Zhu Youzhen smiled, threw off Cao Bin's hand, clasped his fists and said, "Zhonghuai, I'm here to escape this time. My army is still struggling in the Qinling Mountains. I don't know how much it can be found. Cao Bin brought three hundred personal guards to protect me all the way, and 300 people, 76 died."

"The Third Prince is suffering!" Sheng Zhonghuai glanced at a general beside him.

"Governor, the more than 200 personal guards who escorted the third prince out are still staying at a village outside the city. I have arranged all of them, and no one has noticed them." Tian Mankura bowed.

"The Third Prince brought this little army here?" Sheng Zhonghuai looked at Zhu Youzhen and said.

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "There is no way. After Sun Tonglin went back to tell me your opinion, I was afraid that you would regret it after thinking for too long, so I set off immediately and abandoned the army along the way. It would be considered as a quick horse to rush towards you."

Sheng Zhonghuai smiled: "Your Highness is so brave. Are you afraid that I will turn against you now?"

Cao Bin's face changed slightly, but Zhu Youzhen shook his head: "For me, this is the only way out, right? If you really turn against me and kill me, I can still get a whole body. Maybe you will give me a good coffin and bury me well. If it is left in Chang'an and fall into the hands of Tang Jun, my head will definitely be cut off. I will give it to Li Ze to play with lime, spices and other things. That will be true that there will be no whole body."

Sheng Zhonghuai was silent for a long time. Zhu Youzhen looked at him with a smile and didn't speak. Cao Bin on the side was so nervous that he was sweating all over in the winter. He knew very well that if Sheng Zhonghuai really turned against him, he and Zhu Youzhen would definitely explain it here. Not to mention that he was exhausted at this moment, even if he was in great shape, he would be unable to beat four hands with both fists.

"This courage and decision alone are indeed far superior to the Second Prince. You may not know that the Second Prince is less than fifty miles away from me at this moment, but our Second Prince brought a total of five thousand elites here." Sheng Zhonghuai said with a smile.

"Is he going to send troops to Xiangyang?"

"No, he forced me to send troops to Xiangyang, and then used his five thousand elite troops to snatch the empress back." Sheng Zhonghuai said with a sneer.

"Sister-in-law?" Zhu Youzhen widened her eyes, looking incredible.

Sheng Zhonghuai nodded, turned sideways and asked, "Third Prince, please speak inside."

Zhu Youzhen took no hesitation and walked inward. Cao Bin had just taken a step forward, but Tian Mancang blocked him.

"Governor Sheng!" Cao Bin shouted.

Before Sheng Zhonghuai could speak, Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said, "Cao Bin, you are just waiting here. I'm going to see my sister-in-law. It's not appropriate for you to go."

Dai Shu sat upright in the middle of the lobby, on her left and right, and her son and daughter were sitting on the chair like a little adult. Seeing Zhu Youzhen like a beggar coming in from the door, Dai Shu's big eyes instantly froze.

"Sister-in-law!" Zhu Youzhen bent down deeply and bowed.

"The undead dare not be the ritual of Emperor Daliang!" Dai Shu said coldly.

Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly: "If I appear here, I will naturally no longer be the Emperor of Daliang. Sheng Zhonghuai should have told you what he meant. When everything is done here, I will write a letter to Guangzhou, go to the imperial title, and ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to give it to him. Even if I am still the Emperor of Daliang, my sister-in-law can still afford this gift."

"I really want to kill you to avenge your elder brother!" Dai Shu gritted her teeth.

Zhu Youzhen sighed: "Sister-in-law, if it weren't for the elder brother's actions, how could I kill him?"

Dai Shu burst out laughing: "Third brother, don't say some high-sounding words here. You have always been coveting the position of Emperor Daliang. If your elder brother kills you, there is a reason. Even if this is not the case, will you let your elder brother go?"

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, you are wrongly blamed me. If my elder brother didn't do such a thing, with my strength at that time and the support of the ministers in the court, my elder brother is not my opponent, and I really wouldn't have killed him. I can only say that things in the world are messing with people."

After glanced at Dai Shu, he sighed deeply again.

Dai Shu was a little embarrassed and annoyed. Zhu Youzhen's look contained too complicated.

"Now you are here, Sheng Zhonghuai has also decided to surrender to you. What should you do if you decide to take our mothers?" Dai Shu asked.

Zhu Youzhen said, "Sister-in-law is out of his way. The Dai family and the Zhu family were originally family friends. Now, the branch of Uncle Dai Chao is gone. Dai Yue's uncle Dai has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and has now retreated. I heard that he has become a rich man. Since the sister-in-law has married into the Zhu family, she is naturally a member of the Zhu family. Zhu Youzhen dare not say anything else. As long as I am not dead, I will definitely protect you from anyone's harm."

When Dai Shu heard Zhu Youzhen say this, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"The third brother, the Zhu family has lost in this battle. Sheng Zhonghuai told me that even if you do what he said, you will only delay the time. He is not optimistic that the Southern Alliance can defeat Li Ze at all. My life and death doesn't matter, but this daughter is the blood of your elder brother. If you really have a conscience and really think about the Zhu family, then when you kill the second brother and take over the power, I will send my mother and a few of them away. In this way, no matter what you will do in the end, it will be considered as leaving some blood for your Zhu family."

Zhu Youzhen's face changed slightly: "Does my sister-in-law want to join Uncle Dai Yue Dai?"

Dai Shu shook her head and said, "I am a married girl. As you said, I am from the Zhu family. I will go to join my second uncle, and I may be able to save my life, but they are afraid they will be handed over by the second uncle. How can I send my children to the tiger's mouth? I want to go overseas and go to a place where no one knows us."

Zhu Youzhen was silent for a moment: "Is it arranged by Sheng Zhonghuai?"

"Yes!" Dai Shu said: "Although my father is dead, there are always some loyal subordinates who stay. Sheng Zhonghuai has already arranged it. Once the matter here is over, I will leave."

"Is Sheng Zhonghuai leaving too?" Zhu Youzhen said.

Dai Shu shook her head: "He said he would not leave. He wanted to fight for Youyu in the end and do his best. What if things turn around and improve, what if they win by chance? If this is the case, Youyu will still get a title in the history books in the future."

"I understand, sister-in-law!" Zhu Youzhen said: "When I take the power of Yizhou, I will never stop my sister-in-law from leaving. No matter where my sister-in-law goes, it's fine, but sister-in-law, please make sure that the children remember who their ancestors are."

In the tall wooden barrel, Zhu Youzhen was soaked in hot water. The frostbite all over his body made him frown continuously, but he forced himself to not let himself call himself out. This torture was nothing compared to the suffering he suffered at the Tang army.

Cao Bin, who was standing outside, scooped water with a wooden scoop and slowly poured it on Zhu Youzhen's body.

"Your Majesty, can Sheng Zhonghuai really entrust a major matter?"

"If he can't trust us, we are dead at this moment." Zhu Youzhen said. "This person has the talent of a prime minister. Unfortunately, before he could show his skills, the whole situation collapsed. A person like him would never give up until he was at the end of his life. Therefore, I can use him boldly."

Cao Bin nodded and said, "Do you really want to let the princess go? The army in Hanzhong is the remaining troops of His Highness and the remaining troops of the Dai clan back then. Once the princess leaves, the morale of these troops will be greatly affected."

"Sheng Zhonghuai has completely mastered this army." Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether my sister-in-law or not. In fact, she said it well, our situation is indeed not optimistic. She left with her elder brother's child. No matter what the final outcome, my Zhu family would not have lost a person to continue the incense. If we really fail, maybe a hundred years later, the orphan of my Zhu family will be my Zhu family's orphan! Haha. If it weren't for killing my second brother, I'm afraid he would have left long ago, and Sheng Zhonghuai would have arranged everything long ago."

"What role can the eldest princess play in killing the second prince?" Cao Bin was puzzled.

Zhu Youzhen sneered, and the beauty was in trouble. His father lost his mind by Dai Shu's beauty and lost his life. Now Zhu Lao Er is going to follow in the footsteps again. Zhu Lao Er comes to Hanzhong and brings a large number of elite soldiers. Who else can be the one who can kill him? Can anyone else be close to Zhu Lao Er? Only when Zhu Lao Er is confused and appears alone with Dai Shu, is it when he dies.

However, even if Cao Bin is his most trusted general, he is unwilling to make a statement about this kind of family scandal.
