Chapter 48 Kill all the traitors
"This love can be remembered, but it was already lost at that time." Cui'er stared at Li Xiuning with big watery eyes and looked at him in confusion: "What does this mean?"
Li Xiuning naturally didn't know that this poem was actually a classic of a famous poet of the late Tang Dynasty copied by Chen Ying. However, good poems are indeed good poems. What Li Xiuning thought of was that Chen Ying actually liked her, but the difference in status between the two of them was too great. Only when he died could this affection be lost.
Li Xiuning did not answer Cui'er's words, and she suddenly thought of an urgent question. At that time, she repaired her armor in Princess Pingyang's mansion. She accidentally heard Chen Ying go to Hongxiu to solicit girls, so she was furious and rushed to Hongxiuzou all the way.
This seemed natural, but Li Xiuning calmed down carefully and immediately discovered the problem.
This was someone who deliberately seduced her to go to Hongxiuzhao. Thinking of this, Li Xiuning immediately understood that it must be someone who deliberately wanted her to know that Chen Ying was visiting a prostitute. In this way, she would definitely hate Chen Ying and thus never interact with her.
"Hands stretched out so long!" Li Xiuning said furiously: "Who are the people on duty in Yongxinyuan today?"
Cui'er was frightened by Li Xiuning and said timidly: "I don't care too much, I'll ask now!"
"Call all the palace maids and eunuchs in the mansion!"
Cui'er realized that it was extraordinary and hurried to summon the palace maids and eunuchs in the mansion. Li Yuan loved Princess Pingyang very much, so Princess Pingyang was treated as the prince.
Therefore, like other royal palaces, the Princess Pingyang Mansion has three departments and three general managers, with a total of six subordinate officials. The three departments of Princess Pingyang Mansion are the Flattery Department, the Trial Department, and the Inner Treasure Department. The Flattery Department has left and right flattery, all of which are sixth-rank eunuchs. They are mainly responsible for taking care of Li Xiuning's diet and daily life. The Trial Department has a trial department, which manages financial property for the Princess' Mansion, and they are all seventh-rank civil officials. The Inner Treasure Department mainly keeps financial property. There are three general managers (in charge of common affairs), Dianbao (in charge of warehouses), Dianchu (in charge of kitchens), Yibin (in charge of kitchens) and professors (in charge of teachers).
Ma Sanbao, who was officially in the position of Princess Pingyang, was actually the general manager, but he also had the position of General Ningyuan, a fifth-ranked military position.
There were more than 360 people in the entire Princess' Mansion, including officials, palace maids and eunuchs. More than 300 people knelt on the ground in a dark way, so scared that they didn't dare to raise their heads.
"Who is talking about General Chen in Yongxinyuan today to recruit prostitutes in Hongxiu?" Li Xiuning looked at the servant below who was so arrogant that he didn't dare to breathe and said coldly: "Stand out consciously to avoid suffering from flesh and blood!"
However, the palace maids and eunuchs were so scared that they were trembling, but no one answered.
When Li Xiuning saw this scene, her smile became deeper and deeper: "Okay, very good, very good, I dare not admit it, right? I took it out and sold it all!"
"Princess, please spare me, please spare me..." A palace maid who was so scared that she collapsed and collapsed on the ground.
Li Xiuning said: "Chun'er stays, everyone else will be separated!"
"Who asked you to say this?" Cui'er stepped forward and grabbed Chun'er's head, and there was a big mouth.
Chun'er was beaten so badly, but Chun'er gritted her teeth and didn't say a word.
However, Cui'er was also very fierce. Seeing that Chun'er kept silent, she said to a fierce guard next to her who was as strong as a black bear and looked fierce: "Hu Sandao, you don't have a wife yet. I will make the decision to give Chun'er to you and choose a date to get married!"
Cui'er understood at this time that no matter what Chun'er's reason, she must have been instructed. At this time, she was no longer suitable to stay in Princess Pingyang's Mansion. Letting the petite and lovely Chun'er marry Hu Sandao, who was so rough and ugly, was also Cui'er, took revenge on Chun'er a little.
Chun'er was so scared that her face turned green when she saw Hu Sandao's face. If she really slept in the same bed with such an ugly man, she would definitely have nightmares every day.
"Princess, princess, I said, please don't marry me!"
Li Xiuning was eventually a woman. She had an unfortunate marriage and did not want to make things difficult for a woman to suffer the same sin as her.
"Say it, who instructed you to say this!"
"It's nine..."
"Swish!" A cold shot out from the darkness, and the sharp arrow penetrated Chun'er's back without delay, tearing her internal organs. When she opened her mouth again, what was made from her mouth was not a sound, but a big mouthful of blood.
Ma Sanbao suddenly shouted: "Protect Your Highness the Princess!"
More than a dozen guards in heavy armor immediately surrounded Li Xiuning and acted as a human wall and flesh shield.
Ma Sanbao drew out the horizontal knife and ran towards the direction of releasing the crossbow arrow. After a short while, Ma Sanbao carried a crossbow machine and handed it to Li Xiuning.
"Left Wuwei Guard's standard military crossbow?" Li Xiuning's face was covered with frost at this moment: "Shu Zi is so brave!"
"The humble duty is incompetent, so the assassin runs away!"
"What can I do if I run away!" Li Xiuning said angrily: "I know who was instructed after running away! This matter is not over!"
...
On September 27, the first year of Wude, Li Yuan issued an order to order the Prince of the Eastern Palace, Li Jian, to become the General of Right Wu, to be in charge of quelling the rebellion of the neighboring Qidi. Li Jiancheng ordered the Right Guard of the Eastern Palace, Chen Ying, to be the chief marching officer of the army and the chief marching officer of Shizhou, to quell the rebellion.
After receiving the order, Chen Ying immediately led the right leader of the two Weixun Palaces, Zhechong Duwei, and moved forward lightly. Although Chen Ying could not ride a horse, in order to march quickly, he still learned to ride a horse while heading towards Shizhou.
Although I don’t know if Xu Jingzong put up the high bridge saddle and the double-sided stirrup, Chen Ying himself invested in creating more than 100 pairs of high bridge saddles and the double-sided stirrup. With the high bridge saddle and the double-sided stirrup, Chen Ying, a layman who had never even touched a horse, could jog in a small way on a relatively docile big green horse in one day.
When he rode for thirty miles, Chen Ying was excited, and when he rode for 50 miles, Chen Ying felt extremely painful. After riding for 100 miles, Chen Ying felt that his internal organs were about to be pushed out. However, Chen Ying did not realize that his pain had just begun.
"Ouch, oh, you're so gentle!" Chen Ying grinned in pain. Liang Zan couldn't break up and pulled off the clothes that were stuck to the flesh.
"Ah... hold the grass!" The blood was like a spring in an instant. Chen Ying couldn't help but swear.
Liang Zan said: "Why are you doing this? You are so tender and tender. You don't have to worry about it. If you don't sit in a carriage, you just ride a horse. Who will blame you..."
"roll!"
"Hiss!" When Liang Zan scattered the trauma medicine on Chen Ying's bloody buttocks, Chen Ying almost jumped up in pain.
After a long time, Chen Ying calmed down. He wore clothes and looked at Liang Zan and said, "I was ordered to quell the rebellion. How could I lie comfortably on the carriage? What would the soldiers think?"
Although Chen Ying was in great pain, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
The entire army marched quickly and quickly. On the eighth day, on the fourth day of the first lunar month of the Wude year, Chen Ying led his army to Xixian in Liangzhou. However, in Xixian, Chen Ying saw the most incredible scene.
I saw dense crowds of people surrounding the city gate, but the gate of Xixian was closed. Hundreds of bandits holding crude weapons or sticks were unscrupulously outside the city, surrounding these people.
A shrill scream resounded throughout the sky. The Tang soldiers on the city wall had turned into deaf and blind at this time, but they turned a blind eye to the scene in front of them.
