lady, please calm down

February 13th, afternoon.

Although spring arrives late in the north, at this time of year, spring in Yuzhou has already arrived.

In the back garden of the official residence, which was temporarily used as a palace by Emperor Jin, the new willows were green and tender, and the sudden spring breeze ruffled a pool of green water.

Chai Yuanyi, the former princess of the Zhou Kingdom and now the Jin Emperor Zhaorong, finally got rid of the palace maids and chamberlains who followed her, and waited nervously and uneasily behind a rockery.

Last night, she received a handwritten letter from her father. The letter said that with the help of the righteous people, her father had secretly left Jinjing and settled down on Hebei Road in Qi State.

He also said that at noon today, his father would send someone to meet her here.

Chai Yuanyi had no doubt that he was there and quietly waited here, hoping to get more detailed information about her father.

After a while, just as she was getting a little anxious, she suddenly felt a numbness on the back of her neck, and then her vision went dark.
Yuzhou is naturally inferior to Huanglong Mansion. After the Jin Emperor arrived, he occupied the official residence and the residences of more than ten large families in the vicinity, and then reluctantly settled the harem, concubines and children.

Emperor Wan Yandan of the Jin Dynasty had always wanted to move to Nanjing. Not only was Nanjing warmer, but Zhang Hao, who stayed behind, also started building a palace for him more than two years ago. It is said that the palace was built entirely in accordance with Han people's regulations. It is exquisite and elegant. The palace in Huanglong Mansion.

It is a pity that Hezha's pro-army commander Tuoman Chigu has not supported continuing to go south, believing that this move will not be conducive to the return of the Jin Emperor in the future.

Chigu was Wanyandan's bodyguard before he ascended the throne. The two grew up together, and Wanyandan trusted him very much. Chigu was one of the few people besides Xuantong who could influence Wanyandan. The one who decides.

However, this morning, Chi Gu was scolded by Wanyan Dan.

The reason was precisely because Chi Gu had repeatedly advised Wanyan Dan not to continue hunting in the south, but to choose a middle ground between Yuzhou and Huanglong Mansion, and invite King Hailing to meet him in order to resolve the crisis of the split of the Kingdom.

Although Chigu was loyal to Wanyan Dan, he was not politically sensitive. Although this proposal was out of sincerity for the country, Emperor Jin obviously could not accept it.

Doesn't the subtext of 'Meeting in the Middle Ground' put King Hailing on an equal footing with Emperor Jin?
At that time, Wanyan Quan looked calm, and Tongxuan stood up at the right time and scolded Chigu, "Ignorant of state affairs, and if you want to put the emperor in danger, you must be punished!"

How could a Jin general like Chi Gu, who fought hard on the battlefield, take a Han national master seriously? Hearing this, he couldn't help but became furious. While scolding Tongxuan, "the evil way has harmed the country", he drew his sword and chased Tongxuan. Running around in the hall.

Wanyan Dan then got angry, scolded Chigu a few times, and asked him to get thirty military sticks.

After Chigu left in a huff, Tongxuan knelt down at Wanyan Quan's feet and cried loudly, saying: "Since I became the holy family, I have been loyal to the emperor and to Dajin, and I have never had any second thoughts. Since General Chigu thinks A poor Taoist harms the country, and a poor Taoist can only prove his loyalty by dying."

After that, he got up and pretended to hit the pillar.

Fortunately, after Wanyan Dan anxiously stopped him, the chamberlain hugged Tongxuan.

"Hey! How could I not know the immortal's heart? The immortal has been wronged."

After a lot of comfort, Wanyan Dan gave up the idea of ​​Tongxuan seeking death.

Nowadays, Wanyan Dan is not only psychologically dependent on Xuan Tong, who has granted him immortality, but his body is also inseparable from the pills that Tong Xuan refines every day.

But one day if I don't take it, I feel uncomfortable all over my body, like thousands of ants eating my heart.
The Imperial Master cannot die!

Taking this opportunity, Tongxuan, who rarely expressed his opinions on political affairs, made a small report to Wanyanquan, "Your Majesty is kind, but you have to guard against some things! I heard that General Chigu has been with me recently. Li Zhigao and the Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty had frequent contacts. Today, General Chigu persuaded His Majesty to meet with Wanyan Liang! This move must have evil intentions."

Li Chu and Tang Kuo were lobbyists sent by King Hailing. It was indeed suspicious that Chi Gu had close contacts with them. However, Wanyan Quan was still very confident in Chi Gu's loyalty. He couldn't help but smile and said: "There are many immortals." Don’t worry, Chigu and I grew up together and we are brothers, he will not betray me.”

"Your Majesty! How could Prince Hailing, who has repeatedly persecuted you in the court, not be your Majesty's cousin? People's hearts are separated from each other, so we must be on guard! Since Your Majesty's hunting trip to the south, General Chigu often enters and exits the harem at will, and does not hide when he sees His Majesty's concubines. If you don’t avoid it, judging from Pindao, Chigu is not only rebellious but also covets His Majesty’s harem.”

"enough!"

Before Tongxuan could speak, he was stopped by Wanyan Dan's low shout. The latter's face was abnormally flushed and he couldn't help but cough due to his mood swings.

Tongxuan hurriedly bowed and offered two pills, and Wanyandan snatched them away eagerly and swallowed them. After more than ten breaths, the flush on his face gradually subsided and his breath calmed down.

It seems that because of taking the medicine this time, Wanyan Quan's mood has also calmed down. He only heard him say slowly: "Immortal chief, after the Southern Hunting, you and Chi Gu will become my left and right humerus. Chi Gu's temperament is a bit rude. , I just offended you, for my sake, please forgive me, but you two can’t have any bad feelings anymore.”

Wanyan Dan had reached this point in his talk, so Tongxuan had no choice but to stop there.

At this moment, a chamberlain ran in in panic. After entering, he knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Chai Zhaorong is missing."

Can't find it?

What does this mean?
Did he take advantage of the chaos and run away?

Bad news came one after another, and Wanyan Quan could no longer hold back the anger he had just suppressed, "How can we not find such a living person! You slaves are really good at what they do! Come on, Execute all the maids and chambermaids in Chai Zhaorong's palace!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life!"

The servant who reported the news was immediately pale with fear, and the pro-military guards outside the door had already strode in.

Tongxuan, who stood aside respectfully, secretly exchanged glances with a disciple, and then said: "Your Majesty! There is no rush to deal with this slave. It is better to find Chai Zhaorong first!"

This Chai Zhaorong can be regarded as the woman that Wanyandan has loved the most in recent years. After hearing Tongxuan's words, Wanyandan with a gloomy face thought for a few moments before saying: "Okay! Come with me and have a look."

Nowadays, the conditions in Yuzhou City are no better than those in Huanglong Mansion.

The so-called harem is nothing more than the back house of an official residence. Due to limited conditions, the palace restrictions are far less strict than before.

Chigu was responsible for guarding the royal family and had to frequently enter and leave official residences with complex surroundings. This was why Tongxuan had "entered and exited the harem at will" as Tongxuan said when he complained.

The group came to the back garden of the official residence, which is said to be the place where Chai Zhaorong last appeared.

Although the back garden is not small, there are high walls on all sides, and the corner gate is guarded by Heza soldiers. Normally, a living person should not disappear out of thin air.

Soon after, one of Tongxuan's apprentices discovered suspicious clues.

"Ah! Your Majesty, come and see."

Wanyan Dan, who was out of breath after walking a few steps, was attracted by the shouts. He looked up in the direction of the little Taoist priest's finger, and saw half a footprint on the white wall, and there were trampled marks on the tiles on the wall. trace.

"Is it possible that some thieves secretly abducted Chai Zhaorong in broad daylight?"

Tongxuan exclaimed, but revealed everyone's doubts.

The chamberlain who was almost executed just now seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. If Chai Zhaorong had run away secretly on his own, they probably wouldn't have escaped death, but if they were kidnapped by thieves, the chamberlain's responsibility would be smaller. Many, and the Hezha soldiers who were responsible for protecting the royal family became the first person responsible!
The chamberlain hurriedly climbed to a big tree next to the wall and looked in the distance along the direction of the footprints on the wall. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered: "Your Majesty, just one street away from the wall is General Chigu. residence”

Since Chi Gu is responsible for protecting the royal family, he naturally has to live close to the official residence.

But at this time.
Wanyan Dan's face was as dark as water, and he called a few skilled soldiers to climb out of the wall along the footprints.

Not long after, the soldiers reported back and found an identical footprint on the outer wall of Chigu's residence.
At the beginning of Shen Shi.

Emperor Jin, dressed in casual clothes, suddenly entered Chigu's residence with his troops.

When hunting in the south, Chi Gu did not bring his family, so it was not difficult to search. Only a quarter of an hour later, the unconscious Chai Zhaorong was found in Chi Gu's house.
When he first heard the news, Wanyan Dan dismissed everyone and only brought Tongxuan into Chigu's bedroom.

On the bed, Chai Zhaorong's beautiful body lay spread out and she was unconscious.

When Wanyan Dan saw this, the world began to spin, and Tongxuan quickly stretched out his hand to help him.

After more than ten breaths, Wanyan Dan regained his composure and slowly sat down in the room.

Tongxuan hurriedly advised in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the royal family's face. The servants and soldiers here should be locked up quickly to prevent the news from leaking."

Wanyan Dan, who had a splitting headache, rubbed his forehead, waved his hands from bottom to top, and said: "Kill all the soldiers and servants here quietly! Order Chi Gu to come see me quickly, where is he now? "

"Back to Your Majesty, Pindao just asked General Chigu's servants and said that after the general left Your Majesty today, he went to the residence of Li Chu and Tang Kuo."

"Order him to come back!"

Wanyan Dan suddenly got evil fire and slapped the table, but then she shed tears again and murmured: "Chi Gu has betrayed me, Chi Gu has betrayed me! If you want a woman, why don't you go with me?" I said, I will give it all to you."

From anger to sadness, only in a moment.

But the next moment, Wanyan Dan's face suddenly turned red and ferocious, "I can give it to you, but you can't steal it! I'll kill you!"

In just a few breaths, various expressions changed wildly, and even Tongxuan who was standing aside felt a chill. Jin Di, who had been taking medicine for many years, had lost his mind and had some signs of madness.

At the end of Shen Shi.

The days are short in the north, and the sun has reached the horizon in the west. Yuzhou City is mostly built with civil engineering, so it has an earthy yellow background, which is even more desolate when reflected by the sunset.

"Naior officer, why did your Majesty suddenly arrive at my house?"

Chigu sat on the horse and asked the eunuch who was leading the horse. The eunuch turned around respectfully and said: "After the general left today in the afternoon, His Majesty was unhappy and suddenly talked about the punishment he received from the late emperor when he was a child. The general stepped forward to take the punishment for him. His Majesty suddenly went to the general’s residence.”

Hey. Chigu sighed silently.

Although the eunuch's words did not match his words, Chigu understood that the emperor might have gone to his house to talk to him because he felt that what he said in the afternoon was too serious.

Chigu naturally didn't take it to heart after being scolded a few times.

However, the current situation in Daikin is extremely worrying. He had just met with Li Chou and Tang Kuo and had made his final decision.

Determined to follow Li Chou's plan tonight and kill the generals of the three tribes and the demons.

If the emperor blames him afterwards, he will admit whether he beat or killed Chigu.

In short, Chigu felt that doing so would be beneficial to the emperor and Daikin.

On the way, Chi Gu even thought of staying with Wanyan Quan tonight, so as not to frighten the emperor if something happened at night without knowing the details.

just
After returning to his residence, Chi Gu saw that the guards at home had been replaced by people around Wanyan Quan, but he still didn't think much about it.

It wasn't until he saw Wanyan Dan sitting in his bedroom that he realized something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, why don't you light the lamp?"

It was almost dusk and the room was dark. Chi Gu asked after seeing the courtesy.

Wanyan Quan was silent for a moment, but then said slowly: "You can see a person's face clearly with a lamp, but you can't see a person's heart clearly."

Chi Gu was confused, but before he could ask another question, he suddenly heard a voice from behind the curtain, "Do it!"

A large group of pro-army soldiers quickly emerged from the dark room and rushed forward without any explanation.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Chi Gushang didn't understand what happened. He subconsciously thought that someone was trying to kill the emperor, so he immediately drew his sword.

But then, he saw Wanyan Dan sitting there motionless, as steady as Mount Tai. Chigu's heart sank, and unexpectedly he stood still where he was.
Tuoman Chigu, who was once known as the greatest warrior in Daijin, was captured and tied up by his former subordinates without any resistance.

After a while, candles finally lit up in the room.

Feeling that there was a misunderstanding, Chi Gu looked at Wanyan Dan through the candlelight, but saw that his eyes were red, as if they were about to bite people.

"Your Majesty, why is this?"

At first, Chigu thought that the incident of 'Qingjun's side' happened tonight.

Wanyan Dan stared at Chi Gu, silent.

At this time, Tongxuan also walked in from the outside, looked at Chi Gu who was kneeling on the ground and was tied up with five flowers, and smiled coldly, "General, are you still pretending to be confused? Your affair with Wan Yanliang and your kidnapping of concubines have been exposed. !”

"fart!"

"The general is still stubborn. Do you want to confront Chai Zhaorong?"

After Tongxuan finished speaking, he glanced at Wanyan Dan, who showed no expression on his face, neither agreeing nor objecting.

Tongxuan immediately invited Chai Yuanyi in. Chai Yuanyi had been awake for some time and figured out where she was. The scene in front of her also made her guess what was going on.

To be honest, Chai Yuanyi still doesn't know how she got to Chigu House. A moment ago, she was still waiting in the back garden to meet the people sent by her father. She only felt a pain in the back of her neck and then disappeared.

When he woke up again, he saw Wanyan Dan with an extremely ugly expression in front of him.

She definitely couldn't talk about the contact with her father. Besides, she knew very well the importance of Chi Gu to Wanyan Dan.

Although there was very little information about swimming, Chai Yuanyi grasped the key points keenly, and even figured out that what happened today was part of his father's plan.
As soon as Chai Yuanyi came in, she immediately knelt down in front of Wanyan Dan's knees, lay on the latter's knees and began to cry.

Wanyan Dan's face softened slightly and he said in a low voice, "Zhaorong, don't be afraid. You have told me exactly what happened today!"

When Chai Yuanyi heard this, she turned around and glanced at Chi Gu timidly, as if she didn't dare to say anything.
Chi Gu, who still hasn't figured out what happened, couldn't help but became anxious and shouted: "Chai Zhaorong, what happened today!"

Hearing his words, Chai Yuanyi shivered with fright and cried even more painfully.

Seeing this, Wanyan Quan's voice became cold again, "I'm here, what are you afraid of! Tell the truth, I will make the decision for you!"

With these words, Chai Yuanyi finally sobbed and said: "Your Majesty, I was wandering in the back garden today and met General Chi Gu, he, he."

"When did I meet you today?" Chi Gu was excited and wanted to stand up, but was pushed back by five or six soldiers.

Chai Yuanyi then cried: "He said, I don't dare to speak."

"Say! I will pardon your innocence."

"General Chi Gu said that the emperor was about to die soon, and he wanted my concubine to be with him. If she didn't comply, he knocked her unconscious. When she woke up again, she arrived at General Chi Gu's residence."

"Witch! Why did you falsely accuse me! Your Majesty, don't trust this woman!"

Chigu was furious and struggled wildly.

Tongxuan didn't expect Chai Yuanyi to say this at first. After being shocked, he hurriedly said: "Chi Gu! Your Majesty treats you like a brother, but you don't recite the holy grace and bully His Majesty to this point! Damn it! You deserve to be killed!" "

It was a good thing that he didn't speak. When Chigu heard this, he became furious and knocked away several people like a bull. He actually stood up and rushed towards Tongxuan.

Chigu was looking for Tongxuan, but the latter threw himself on Wanyan Dan and shouted at the same time: "Help, help!"

Chai Yuanyi, who was kneeling in front of Wanyan Dan, followed suit and stood up to protect Wanyan Dan. What two loyal ministers!

Because the two of them clung to Wanyan Dan's body, they were safe. There were many soldiers in the room, but they didn't dare to let Chi Gu get close to the emperor!

At this moment, Wanyan Dan was completely angry. Regardless of anything else, he said, "Pull him down! Kill him!"

The soldiers might have thought of showing some mercy just now, but now they no longer dared to spare any effort. Seven or eight people used their strength at the same time to lift Chigu up.
My feet left the ground, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't use them anymore.

The soldiers carried the struggling Chigu out. Chigu still shouted in grief and anger, "Your Majesty, the Han people cannot be trusted! The demonic and poisonous woman wants to harm the Emperor."

Wanyan Dan, who had rarely been as active as he was today, only felt a headache, his brain was full of mush, and he almost lost the ability to think.

Chi Gu's shout came from afar and stopped abruptly after more than ten breaths.

Wanyan Dan only felt that the noise around him was vague, the people in front of him were in a trance, and everything became unreal.
"Wait a minute."

Wanyan Dan suddenly felt regretful, but as soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers had already presented Chi Gu's dead head.

Wanyandan felt a surge in his chest and abdomen, and his head became more and more dizzy. He obviously felt a little sad, but his energy became high again.
"Your Majesty! Chi Gu's death is not a pity, but if the news gets out, Li Chu, Tang Kuo, Shu Hu and others will definitely not sit still and wait for death! In this critical situation, your Majesty, please make a quick decision!"

Tongxuan's voice, so close at hand, seemed to fall far and near in Wanyan Dan's ears across thousands of mountains and rivers.

Beside, Chai Yuanyi was still sobbing softly
"Kill, kill, kill, kill them all."

Wanyan Dan whispered to himself, but Tongxuan said loudly: "What did your Majesty say? I can't hear you clearly! Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible."

"Kill, kill, kill them all!" Wanyan Dan stood up tremblingly, his voice finally getting louder.

"You have all heard His Majesty's instructions! Capture Li Chu, Tang Kuo, Shu Hu and others as soon as possible. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

Wanyan Dan'er listened to Tongxuan giving orders for him, and always felt that something was wrong, but before he could express his thoughts, he smiled uncontrollably on his face, "Haha, kill, kill, kill them all." (End of chapter) )
