Chapter
As soon as Zheng Liang said, everyone frowned and their hearts sank. Chu Xiuming asked, "Living people are also taken care of, and corpses are taken care of. Which one are you talking about?"
"Of course, it's a living person." Zheng Liang spoke without hesitation.
Chu Xiuming put down the teacup and looked at Zheng Liang calmly. For some reason, Zheng Liang felt a chill in his heart, as if he was being put on a knife on the back of his neck, and he was sweating all over his body. He pinched himself hard, then he suppressed his fear and said, "Does Yongning Hou not want his third brother to be alive?"
Hearing Zheng Liang's words, Chu Xiuming lowered his eyes slightly and did not say anything. However, Zheng Liang felt his heart was turbulent, and then he said, "That's right, the elders are in order. If Chu Xiuyao, the third brother, was still alive, I'm afraid that the title of Yongning Hou would not be your turn."
As soon as these words were said, everyone's expressions were a little strange. Chu Xiuyuan sneered, "Is it that the prince of King Ying who was the prince in the past?"
Manager Zhao also spoke, "I heard that when King Ying was still alive, he had three sons. Why didn't he hear about the other two now?"
Zheng Liang's face changed and he just said, "The two young men were persecuted to death by Emperor Cheng."
"I remember that there was a young man who was only three or four years old at that time?" Manager Zhao seemed to be unsure of it and thought carefully, "Emperor Cheng left an older prince to move, and moved a child who didn't know anything at the age of three or four?"
Zheng Liang said in a deep voice, "The young man has been weak since childhood. If he had raised him well, he would naturally grow up safely. However, Emperor Cheng was pursuing him tightly and running all the way, so he unfortunately died prematurely."
"What about the other one?" asked General Manager Wang.
Zheng Liang narrowed his eyes and responded, "You are very interested in the family affairs of the King of England. If the Marquis of Yongning is willing to cooperate with the King of England, you can ask the King of England in person."
Chu Xiuming spoke, "Yue Wen, drag the person down."
Zheng Liang's face changed when he heard Yue Wen's name and said, "Marquis Yongning..."
Yue Wen did not let him say what was left, and directly covered his mouth and dragged it down. After the person went down, General Lin said, "General, don't listen to what the villain said, for fear that the prince of the British had another conspiracy."
Chu Xiuyuan said in a deep voice, "Whether it is the third brother or the third brother's body, it must be snatched back."
General Jin slowly exhaled and said, "It's not easy." They can't even determine whether Chu Xiuyao is dead or alive.
Manager Zhao looked at Chu Xiuming and asked, "What do you think of the general?"
Chu Xiuming drank all the tea cup in one gulp, and even chewed the tea leaves inside, saying, "It's not bad for this time."
No matter whether Chu Xiuyao is dead or alive, since he has been in the hands of the Prince of England for so long, he will not be in a hurry for this time, because no matter how anxious they are, it is useless. The Prince of England is just waiting for them to worry.
Although Zhao Duan was there, he never spoke. After all, this was more about the family affairs of the general's mansion. But Chu Xiuming's decision now made him admire him. Is Chu Xiuming really not anxious? No, he is more anxious than anyone else, but he can't hurry, nor dare to hurry because he can't hurry.
Yes, it is not possible. Although Chu Xiuyuan is the prince's grandson, after all, Chu Xiuming is the decision-maker in this lineage. Everyone can be anxious and everyone can be confused. Only Chu Xiuming cannot, because every decision he made is not just about himself.
If Chu Xiuyuan had no such responsibilities, Chu Xiuming would have been unable to bear it long ago.
When he was in a different place, Zhao Duan's heart trembled, feeling that he might not be able to help it. If he didn't know, he would do everything he could if he knew... even if he was just a corpse, he would do his best.
It was not only Zhao Duan who came here, but everyone present could feel Chu Xiuming's struggle. It was because of Chu Xiuming that they were willing to surrender. Chu Xiuyuan's eyes were red, and he wanted to say nothing but couldn't say anything. Everyone had a standpoint and said, but he didn't. If it weren't for him... If it weren't for him, all this wouldn't be like this.
Chu Xiuyuan only felt a slightly cool hand gently patting the back of his hand. Chu Xiuyuan turned his head and saw Chu Xiuming's side face. Unlike everyone else, Chu Xiuming's expression was very calm, even so calm that it made people feel terrifying, but it had a feeling of peace of mind.
Chu Xiuming spoke, "Since the prince of the British threw out these items one by one, it means that he has any important plans that he cannot avoid the border town."
Everyone's hearts were terrified. Just now, their attention was focused on Chu Xiuyao. Chu Xiuming stood up and pointed at the mountain and river map and said, "The border city is located in the northwest of the capital, and here is..."
With Chu Xiuming's voice, several people looked at the map of mountains and rivers. General Lin suddenly understood Chu Xiuming's meaning, "This means that the prince of the British has a way to let the barbarians go around the border town to the Apocalypse, but this place is difficult to leave or can only be passed by a few people. If there are too many people, it will be easily discovered or..."
"I can't get through at all." General Wu also said in a deep voice.
General Jin suddenly thought, "I seem to know where they passed."
Not only General Jin, but also Chu Xiuming guessed that he pointed at a place with his fingers. The mountains there were dangerous and he also needed to pass through a turbulent river. Even due to the terrain, he could not build a bridge, so he could only use ropes to pass through. Even if he used ropes, he could only choose the day when the river water was relatively gentle in the middle of each month.
Chu Xiuming's grandfather discovered this place, but in the end, because the value of its use is not high, it was just marked. Chu Xiuming went to see it later. It was true that that place was only for some people in the mountains to use. But even so, Chu Xiuming also sent people to guard it. If it was really from here, it would mean...
"Fian betrayed." General Jin said in a deep voice.
Manager Wang said, "It's not just Fian."
Every few months, the people in the mountains have to choose strong young people who carry things to the market to exchange the daily necessities they need. Although they are not allowed to enter the city on the border town, they will not refuse and they will always get along happily. If the barbarians really leave, it will not only mean that the guardian Fei An surrendered to the Prince of the King of the King and deceived Chu Xiuming, but the people in the mountains may also surrender to the Prince of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King
The faces of several people were a little ugly. General Wu said angrily, "The general's subordinates will take Fei'an down." Just a while ago, Fei'an was drinking with them.
Chu Xiuming spoke, "General Jin, please lead the troops there."
"Yes." General Jin said respectfully.
Chu Xiuming pursed his lips and said, "Don't matter whether it is life or death, pay attention to blocking the news." If Fei An did not betray, then he would not resist when he saw General Jin bringing people over. However, if he really betrayed, he would definitely not be willing to surrender, and some friction would inevitably occur. If General Jin still guessed that he wanted to catch him alive, he would inevitably be restrained. This would easily lead to a disadvantage and increase the casualties of soldiers.
General Jin said with a solemn expression, "Yes." Seeing that Chu Xiuming had no other orders, he got up and went out to order troops.
Everyone's hearts were heavy. Although Fei Ann was not as good as theirs, he had known each other for many years and had experienced many wars together. The possible betrayal of such brothers who had lived in love was particularly unacceptable.
When General Wu saw Chu Xiuming ask General Jin to go, he didn't say anything. Fei An saved General Wu's life at the beginning, so he was particularly angry and made him unable to control his emotions.
Chu Xiuming continued, "General Lin, you can prepare too, I'm afraid there are still people who are hiding in the mountains with barbarians and princess of the King of England."
When Fei'an's group of people was caught, it would be good to ask for some information from the mountains, but it would also reduce casualties. If you can't ask... Chu Xiuming knew in his heart that if he was in the mountains, his soldiers would certainly win, and there would probably be a lot of casualties. After all, they were not familiar with the terrain over there, and there was also the cableway.
"Closing the mountain at that time." Chu Xiuming said coldly, "Send troops to surround it, give them three days. If you are willing to come out, you will come out. If you don't come out, you will close the mountain and burn the mountain within five days."
In this case, the murder will be too severe and will harm the heavens. Chu Xiuming has always been reluctant to do so, but the current situation cannot tolerate him being merciful.
General Lin said, "Don't worry, General."
Chu Xiuyuan didn't say anything, and said at this time, "General, Xu Yuan's mission... should be postponed?"
I was afraid that the prince of the British would suffer heavy losses and would hurt Chu Xiuyao in a hurry. Chu Xiuming said, "As usual."
Zhao Duan said at this time, "General, I actually think I can take a little slow down."
Chu Xiuming shook his head, "The opportunity cannot be missed."
Manager Zhao and Manager Wang were a little worried. They knew the general's struggle, but others didn't know. If some soldiers knew about Chu Xiuyao's affairs, they felt that Chu Xiuming was unkind... Chu Xiuyao was in the border town and had a very good relationship with those soldiers.
General Lin also said, "Would you like to have a military first..."
Chu Xiuming spoke, "There are many people and the mixed feelings."
For a moment, no one said anything. After the discussion was completed, they did not leave. Instead, they sat in the conference hall.
When Shen Jin brought people to come with food boxes, he saw everyone staring at them like this. Chu Xiuming had already given orders that all the places in the General's Mansion would not set up defenses against Shen Jin, even in the conference hall. So it was not until she arrived at the door that everyone was alarmed.
After coming in, Shen Jin smiled and said, "I think everyone is hungry, so I asked someone to make some things to deliver."
"Sister-in-law." Chu Xiuyuan said.
Shen Jin nodded with a smile and moved away from the position. He saw the servant behind him starting to carry things in and put them in. He placed tables and chairs in the open space in the middle of the conference hall. In addition, there were small stoves and small pots. After pouring the milky white soup base in a pot, plates of meat slices were also placed out. There were more meat dishes, fewer vegetables, and a large table was placed in scattered. There were many beef and mutton slices on the small table next to him.
Although they had eaten in the meeting hall, there was a small hot pot in front of everyone, so they could choose the ones they like to eat.
Chu Xiuming kept looking at Shen Jin. If he looked carefully, he could still find a bit of sadness and helplessness in his eyes.
Chu Xiu was ready for vision, but Chu Xiuming was silent and said, "It happened to be hungry, thank you sister-in-law."
Chen Jin smiled and said nothing.
After everyone cleaned their hands, they sat down and General Lin said, "Old Jin has lost a good meal."
Chen Jin did not ask General Jin where he was, because it was a round table, and everyone sat around him. Chen Jin sat next to Chu Xiuming. Although he was a general, everyone was not rude when eating, but they didn't have the habit of not talking about food.
In fact, Chen Jin likes to eat this kind of pot, and she is used to using some soup before eating, so she puts a bowl of soup and drinks it slowly. From time to time, she picks up some of the flaky meat from Chu Xiuming's small pot to dip it in the seasonings of Madam Zhao.
After a few bites of hot soup and hot dishes, everyone's mood calmed down a lot. After a plate of meat was gone, thanks to Chen Jin who greeted the kitchen in advance and started preparing early, there was no situation where everyone had no meat to eat. When they were satisfied, everyone began to move the vegetarian dishes a little and then waited for the lower part.
Manager Zhao simply mentioned what happened just now. At that time, everyone was upset, so they didn't discuss anything. Now they all eased, and they thought they were much more clear-headed.
Chen Jin was eating the cabbage that Chu Xiuming put in her bowl. Listening to Zhao Duan saying something worries, General Manager Wang also said, "It is true. This can easily lay hidden dangers. Those generals will not doubt the general just because of someone else's words, but they inevitably have doubts in their hearts. They don't know what the prince of the British will do next. If they accumulate a small amount, they will be afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable."
Chu Xiuming did not finish speaking, but stirred the noodles in the pot with chopsticks. Chu Xiuyuan said, "Why don't we say such a thing first?"
Chen Jin nodded as she bit the frozen tofu. She felt that after she finished eating this piece, she could eat a few more bites when the noodles were cooked.
Manager Zhao asked, "What do you think of Madam?"
沉锦有些疑惑地看向了赵管事,嘴里的东西还没咽下去,正在努力蠕动着嘴,显得有些呆呆的,楚修明给沉锦倒了杯水说道,“慢慢吃.”
"Yeah." Chen Jin nodded and continued to eat.
Chu Xiuming looked at Manager Zhao with a few warnings in his eyes. Chu Xiuyuan lowered his head and said silently. After Chen Jin finished eating, he took another sip of water and then said, "Manager Zhao, what are you asking?"
"Look at the lady nodding just now because of the Major General's words." Manager Zhao said.
Chen Jin responded, and the hand under the table gently pinched Chu Xiuming's fingers and said, "Because I think Xiuyuan is right."
Chu Xiuming picked out all the cooked noodles, put them in his bowl, added some seasoning, and his expression calmed down a little. Chen Jin was willing to tell others that it was different in Chu Xiuming's mind, so Chu Xiuming stopped talking at this time.
General Lin actually likes General Chen Jin very much. If the old general is here, he will also like such a daughter-in-law. "Why would the wife agree?"
Chen Jin held the cup in both hands, but his eyes fell on the bowl of noodles that Chu Xiuming had just mixed, and said, "The words of the Prince of Ying and the General's Mansion, they must believe the words of the General's Mansion more." In fact, it is that simple, "Just say that Emperor Cheng and the Prince of Ying joined forces, and then the third brother was in the Prince of Ying, and I don't know what the situation was. Then the Prince of Ying threatened the General's Mansion to release the barbarians into the Apocalypse."
In fact, Chu Xiuming thought about it, but he was worried that those soldiers would be worried that Chu Xiuyao would be in the hands of the Prince of Ying. When they really encountered it, they would inevitably be a little restrained. Moreover, if the Prince of Ying received the news, Chu Xiuyao's situation would be even more dangerous, so it was inevitable that he would be a little hesitant. Everyone was the same. Chen Jin really didn't know?
Chen Jin knew it. It was because of his knowledge that Chen Jin was unwilling to let Chu Xiuming say that this was too cruel to Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming didn't know what Chen Jin was thinking. He reached out and held her hand tightly, and said no longer hesitated, "As long as the prince of Ying is concerned, he will not touch the third brother in order to retreat."
Chu Xiuyuan looked at Chu Xiuming and said, "Brother, just give me instructions!"
Just now, everyone was discussing official affairs in the conference hall. Chu Xiuyuan naturally called Chu Xiuming the general. At this time, everyone sat together to eat hot pot. Chu Xiuyuan's name to Chu Xiuming was naturally changed.
Chu Xiuming spoke, "When General Jin comes back, General Lin, you will immediately lead troops to Yucheng and write a letter to Xi Yunjing to prepare. When King Rui arrives at the border city, you will start to take action there. In the name of Chen Xuan, why Emperor Cheng forced King Rui to leave Beijing and then bring people..."
Following Chu Xiuming's words, everyone wrote down their responsibilities. Chen Jin suddenly said, "I'll go to Beijing."
"No." Chu Xiuyuan said, "Sister-in-law, if you go to Beijing..."
Chen Jin opened his mouth, "I always have to give Emperor Cheng a reassurance."
Chu Xiuming reached out and held Chen Jin's hand and said, "No."
Chen Jin had actually thought about it a long time ago, "Husband, what you know is the best, because Chen Xuan questioned Emperor Cheng on the one hand, but he led his troops to conflict with the Prince of Ying. Emperor Cheng was not sure whether his father had come to the border town. The Empress Dowager would protect me."
Chu Xiuyuan said, "Sister-in-law, you shouldn't take the risk."
Chen Jin smiled. Because the dimples on her face made her look like a mother of a child. She reached out and rubbed Chu Xiuyuan's head, "It's not for you."
In fact, Chen Jin is telling the truth. Even if Chu Xiuyuan is the prince's grandson, Chen Jin's choice was not for him. The rabbit is very brave and is very careful to cunniously make the rabbit's three holes. Just like when Chen Jin was in the palace of Prince Rui, he wanted to hide himself behind everyone, so people could not notice it at all, so he could not hurt her.
Now Chen Jin is willing to stand up for the sake of Chu Xiuming. When Chen Jin heard Zheng Liang's words at the beginning, she was actually hesitating. She was also afraid that Chen Jin was never a hero. The kind of person who could be the first in the world cares about her relatives and her own family.
Chen Jin hesitated at that time and was struggling in his heart. Chu Xiuming also realized that he was afraid that Concubine Chen would not understand Chen Jin as much as Chu Xiuming, so Chu Xiuming said that Chen Jin would not interfere any more. Chen Jin agreed, but when Shen Jin brought someone to deliver the meal in person, Chu Xiuming knew that Chen Jin had made a decision.
Because the Prince of Ying had Chu Xiuyao and his son, Chu Xiuming's earliest plan changed. At the beginning, Chu Xiuming planned to seek a balance between Emperor Cheng and Prince of Ying. Now, the situation has reached a point where the Prince of Ying is incompatible, so it is difficult to break up with Emperor Cheng. Of course, you can choose to send King Rui back, but this is not easy to carry out the following plan.
Now, we cannot break up with Emperor Cheng. Let Chen Jin go to the capital as the quality is the best choice. It will not only make Emperor Cheng believe that King Rui is not in the border city, but in the hands of the Prince of Ying, but also make Emperor Cheng feel scruples. Not to mention joining forces with Chu Xiuming to deal with Prince of Ying, at least he will not stab the knife in the back while Chu Xiuming deals with Prince of Ying.
The benefits are not only these. The prince of the British king would also be concerned about Chu Xiuming and Emperor Cheng joining forces, so he did not dare to fight Chu Xiuming with all his troops. He also had to beware of Emperor Cheng's fisherman's profits. Then Chu Xiuming could also distribute most of his troops to guard against the barbarians.
In fact, this is why everyone did not mention that method at the beginning. It was the best choice, but they also needed a job after the disaster. None of them could propose to let Chen Jin be a hostage, and it was even more impossible to let Dongdong go, so everyone was silent and frustrated.
If they had proposed it at the earliest, but even though Chen Jin had only been married for a few years, everyone still had feelings for Chen Jin.
So even if Chen Jin raised it himself at this time, everyone was silent.
Chen Jin also understood that everyone could not bear it anymore. This matter was finally left to Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin to decide. Chu Xiuming didn't say anything, but just held Chen Jin's hand and left first. It was not the first time Chu Xiuyuan saw such a brother. After the third brother left for him, Chu Xiuming was like this after he woke up. Everyone thought Chu Xiuming would get angry or vent, but he just sat quietly, with helplessness and pain. Chu Xiuyuan didn't know how to describe Chu Xiuming at that moment. That feeling was just unbearable.
"My husband, please bear with me." Chen Jin suddenly said after leaving the yard.
Chu Xiuming gritted his teeth, let go of Chen Jin's hand, walked to Chen Jin's front, squatted down with his back to her. Chen Jin lay skillfully on Chu Xiuming's back, sighing, "I just ate a little full, and I don't want to move anymore."
"Then don't move." Chu Xiuming said, "I'll carry you."
Chen Jin's eyes turned red and she whispered, "No." She heard what Chu Xiuming meant, "Husband, I'm waiting for you to pick me up."
Chu Xiuming paused for a moment, "Aspect."
Chen Jin said with a sore nose, "You are obedient. Let Dongdong take care of my mother. You must pick me up early."
Chu Xiuming shook his head, Chen Jin opened his mouth and bit his ear and said, "There are no more cousins!"
"No." Chu Xiuming's voice was a little dull, "You are the only one."
Chen Jin then said with satisfaction, "Husband, if you arrange it for me, it will be safer. If I run away secretly..."
"No." Chu Xiuming said, "I understand, wait for me in the capital."
Chen Jin'en said.
Chapter completed!
