Chapter 520 Persuasion

The next day, in the north wing of the Haijun Governor's Mansion in Hongzhou Town, Zhong Yuancui sat quietly in front of the dressing table, facing the bronze mirror with yellow patches. The bronze mirror was originally top-quality and was made very finely, but due to the fact that it had not been polished for many days, a thin layer of copper rust was produced, which was gray. Only a vague figure could be seen when I looked.

"Oh!" With a sigh, Zhong Yuancui threw the silk flowers and leaves in her hand on the dressing table, and flicked it casually, chaoticizing the objects on the dressing table. At this time, her thoughts were like the objects on the dressing table in front of her. She stood up, walked to the door, and looked out through the crack of the door. She saw several old women in green standing in the corner of the yard. Her eyes swept the door of the yard, which was obviously guarding herself. It turned out that since Zhong Yuancui released Zhong Yangui privately, although Zhong Kuangshi did not immediately punish her girl, she still imprisoned her in the wing room to the north, patrolling day and night with her trusted old servant wife, just like a prisoner.

Before returning to the dressing table, Zhong Yuancui stared at the bronze mirror. Over the past few days, the guards prohibited her from entering and leaving the courtyard, but she still heard some news from the words of the servants and servants. Her second brother Zhong Kuangshi had sent a large army to Jiangzhou to attack her eldest brother Zhong Yangui. Although she was quite sad about the situation of the same family, she was in trouble and was unable to interfere in the fact that she had to leave the will and stay in the courtyard.

At this time, a "Meet Your Majesty" sound came from outside. Before Zhong Yuancui could stand up, the door had been pushed open. One person came in. It was Zhong Yuancui's biological brother, Zhong Kuangshi, the Zhennan Army, who stayed behind.

Zhong Yuancui hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and bowed: "My sister has seen her brother!"

"No gifts!" Zhong Kuangshi hurriedly reached out to his hands, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, as if there was something difficult to say. He coughed slightly and then laughed: "Now I am a new leader. If I don't do things fairly, I'm afraid I will cause gossip on others. I'll be jailed for a while. Girl, don't blame me!"

"Yuancui knows that her crime is serious. She is a blessing from outside the law. How dare she blame her brother for her!"

"That's good, that's good." Zhong Kuangshi laughed dryly, then asked Zhong Yuancui some trivial questions about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Zhong Yuancui also answered them one by one. After the question was finished, Zhong Kuangshi didn't know how to introduce the main topic, while Zhong Yuancui looked at her nose and her nose, looking gentle and humble, and the atmosphere in the room became cold for a moment.

At this time, someone came in outside. It was Chen Xiang. Seeing this, he knew it. He winked at Zhong Kuangshi. Zhong Kuangshi had no choice but to force himself to squeeze out a smile and smiled, "It's so good for me to know. I'm here today to say a happy event to you!"

Zhong Yuancui was confused by Zhong Kuangshi's sudden words and answered inexplicably: "How happy is the little sister like this?"

Zhong Kuangshi smiled and said, "The governor of Zhenhai Army, Lu Fang, has sent someone to ask for marriage to his younger sister. Lu Fang, Lu Renzhi, was a hero in the world who was divided into two cities and was in line with the same status as the two families. Isn't it a great joy to have a great family?"

"Please propose? Happy event? How is this possible?" Zhong Yuancui said in surprise: "Brother, you don't know that my father passed away. How could I, a son, talk about marriage when my father's body was not cold? Guardian Lu must not be such a person who is ignorant of etiquette. How could he act so ridiculously?"

"This?" Zhong Kuangshi was immediately speechless by Zhong Yuancui's words. As Zhong Yuancui said, Zhong Chuan had just been buried. According to etiquette, Zhong Yuancui usually had to keep mourning for three years before she could talk about marriage. Even if he didn't know about the high position, how could the counselors and civil servants around him agree to this?"

Chen Xiang, who was standing beside him, saw that Zhong Kuangshi was speechless and quickly stepped forward and said, "The princess has unknown what he has in this courtyard these days. After fleeing back to Jiangzhou, Zhong Yangui actually sold himself to the enemy, introduced foreign enemies in Huainan, and advanced to Hongzhou together. The situation is now extremely critical. He must join forces with Lu Xianggong of Zhenhai Army to fight against the Wu bandits. Therefore, although this violates the etiquette, he can only follow the power."

Zhong Yuancui was shocked when she heard this. She only knew that Zhong Kuangshi had sent troops to attack Zhong Yangui. According to the strength of the two sides, Zhong Kuangshi had already gained an absolute advantage. She prayed day and night in the courtyard to be able to escape his life. It would be fine, but she never expected that Zhong Yangui would surrender to Huainan and attract foreign enemies to respect themselves. She actually gained an advantage. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel bitter and bitter and bitter taste in her heart.

Chen Xiang looked at Zhong Yuancui's face and pondered, "To say something beyond the reach of the world, if Zhong Yangui wins the throne with his own strength, the second sacrifice of Zhong Wang Chunqiu, he will have blood and incense. But now he colludes with the Wu thief and is accomplice of the tiger. He is just a puppet of the Wu thief. If he is allowed to win, the Jiangxi land will never be named Zhong again. If King Zhong knows under the spring, how can he keep his eyes closed? Although the princess is not a man, he is still..."

"Don't say it! I agree!" Zhong Yuancui suddenly interrupted Chen Xiang's words with a stern voice. Her face turned pale without a trace of blood. She had already fully understood what the other party meant. In the final analysis, today's situation was the result of her private release of Zhong Yangui. If she had not acted without authorization that day, at most Zhong Yangui would die, but in Jiangxi, the cigarettes of her deceased father were kept. It was said that today's crisis was caused by herself.

"The princess is very wise, and the whole city of Hongzhou is full of great kindness. Chen is here to give everyone a chance!" Seeing that Zhong Yuancui had already agreed, Chen quickly bowed his head and made a promise to prevent the other party from refusing his words. However, Zhong Kuangshi, who was on the side, had a little bit of flesh and blood and muttered: "Little sister, please think about it and say that Lu Xiangzheng was in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he must have a wife!"

Chen Xiang couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw this, but he couldn't speak in this situation. Fortunately, Zhong Yuancui replied: "Second brother, don't say it. I'm for my father and the people of Hongzhou this time. Don't say that Lu Fang has a wife. Even if he is a single-minded person, I will marry him." At this point, Zhong Yuancui suddenly turned around and stopped talking.

"The princess is indeed very wise, and the whole city is deeply impressed with great virtue!" Chen Xiang was already surprised at this time, and quickly sent the flattery that was not worthy of money, fearing that the other party would suddenly change his mind and cause something to happen again. Zhong Kuangshi felt a little regretful when he saw this situation, but he didn't know how to speak for a while, so he was dragged out by Chen Xiang. After the two left, Chen Xiang secretly turned back and carefully reminded the head of the guardian: "All these days, no one is allowed to talk to the princess except those two regular food delivery people, otherwise you will only ask!"

In Xunyang City, Jiangzhou, the north gate that had almost never opened in the past was opened. The layers of sheep and horse walls, trenches, barriers and other obstacles outside the city gate were also cleaned up. The official road was also covered with loess and sprinkled with clear water. The people and horses walked up and couldn't get up. Zhong Yangui was wearing a plain robe and sat under the umbrella beside the road waiting, as if waiting for his superiors to visit.

At noon, a black shadow appeared on the horizon in the distance. It was not very obvious at first, but soon the black shadow became clear. The soldiers with good eyes could vaguely see that it was a moving army. Zhong Yangui stood up and said in a deep voice: "Come on, change my clothes for me."

The soldiers on the side quickly stepped forward, took off Zhong Yangui's shirt, exposed his upper body, and tied a bunch of thorns on his back. After everything was ready, Zhong Yangui walked to the side of the road and knelt on the ground.

After a while, the vanguard of the army had already arrived. Seeing this scene, a military envoy quickly passed it back. After half a cup of tea, a team of people came. The leader was Qin Fei, the general of Huainan. Yang Wo appointed him as the commander of the Southwest Camp to command the battle to invade Jiangxi.

When Zhong Yangui saw that the other party's general was here, he kowtowed and said, "The crime will resist the imperial army and are very evil. Today, he will bear the thorns and bear the thorns. Please punish the general!"

Seeing this, Qin Fei jumped off his horse, reached out to help Zhong Yangui up, and said in a deep voice: "Why do you have to do this by General Zhong? Now I am a minister of the palace. Let him go over in the past!" Speaking of this, Qin Fei took off the thorns on the other party, threw them aside, took off his brocade robe, draped it on Zhong Yangui, and said loudly: "The King of Wu has submitted a report to the court, calling Brother Zhong the governor of Jiangzhou and the judge of Zhennan Army. The generals and officials of each army have given him some rewards. You are not guilty, and you don't need to be afraid!"

The soldiers in Jiangzhou were located on the front line of the fight against Yang and Wu, and most of them had killed Yang and Wu soldiers. This time, they couldn't help but feel a little worried. Seeing Qin Fei, the enemy general, promised in front of everyone, his heart was then relieved and cheered.

Zhong Yangui, Qin Fei and his group came to the city and sat down at the governor's mansion. After having tea, Qin Fei asked straight to the point: "This time we marched into Jiangxi, although the King of Wu regards me as the commander, as far as the governor of Zhennan Army is concerned, the governor Zhong knows that we are the first. We are all warriors and we are not a vain. Let's talk about how to advance!"
