Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 516: Empress Xiao, you don’t want to…

Chu Pingsheng looked at the woman that Yang Guang and Yu Wenzhi both liked. Her peach blossom eyes were timid and shy, yet charming, her nose was as tempting as a dewy cherry, and her red lips were as smooth as cinnabar. She didn't look like a woman of thirty-six or thirty-seven years old at all. Judging from her appearance, she was only about twenty-eight or twenty-nine.

No wonder the six heroes were obsessed with her, with her face, figure, and skin...

Chu Pingsheng glanced at the fallen flowers under the corridor and remembered a sentence: Falling flowers, a man standing alone; light rain, swallows flying in pairs.

She really looks like a character walking out of a graceful painting.

"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. I am the son of Chai Shen, the newly appointed Tiger and Wolf General by the Emperor." Chu Pingsheng shook off the blood on his sword, went over, carried the man on his shoulder, and ran straight to the west gate.

"You...you put me down."

Xiao Meiniang's feet were in front and her head was in the back. Her long hair hung down, covering the left and right sides, and one could only see the ground rapidly receding.

"My lady, please stop shouting. It will attract Yu Wenzhi's men."

When Xiao Meiniang heard this, she shouted even louder.

After Yu Wenzhi killed Yang Guang, in order to protect her son and grandson, she had reached an agreement with Yu Wenzhi. The two guards just now were taking her away from the palace to seek refuge in Yu Wenzhi's house. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway and thought she was being kidnapped and didn't need him to save her.

At this moment, the sound of fast running footsteps came from the other side of the wall.

Xiao Meiniang hurriedly called for help: "Help, I'm here..."

"I told you to stop shouting. Yu Wenzhi's men will kill you."

Without waiting for an answer, Chu Pingsheng chopped her on the neck with a knife, knocking her unconscious, then picked her up and continued running.

……

After a stick of incense.

Chai Shen returned to his mansion. In fact, the Chai mansion was not far from the palace. The reason why it took him so long was that the streets were in chaos. No one knew who had spread the news that the emperor was dead. The people of Yu Wenzhi and Dugu Feng were bloodthirsty. All the people stayed indoors and refused to go out. Even he was turned away. He banged on the door again and again before the doorman recognized his voice and opened the door to greet him. Then he received bad news that Chai Shao did not return to the mansion.

He wanted to go look for him, but was stopped by servants who advised him not to go out into the street as it was a chaotic mess outside. If he went out now, the swords and knives would be merciless and no one would care whether he was a fourth or seventh rank official.

It was not until Dong Cheng, a family servant whose martial arts skills were better than his, volunteered to pick up the young master that Chai Shen calmed down, told him to be careful, and returned to the hall to wait.

The servants said nothing, just watched him walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, feeling dizzy, and muttering something about Wu Zun Bi Xuan.

Fortunately, a servant came back soon to report that the young master had returned home and came in through the back door. Chai Shen ran to the backyard without saying a word.

Chu Pingsheng was drinking tea in the room when he heard hurried footsteps outside. Bang, the door was pushed open with great force and Chai Shen walked in with a gust of wind.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

Chu Pingsheng found it funny, put down the cup, raised his arms and turned around on the ground to show that he was safe and sound.

Chai Shen put his heart at ease and then thought of what happened in the palace. He became furious.

"You, what are you running around for?"

"Are you scared? You asked me to go to the palace to be conferred an imperial title, but I almost lost my life there. If I had known this would happen, why would I have come to Jiangdu? Wouldn't it be better for me to stay in Luoyang?"

"..." Chai Shen was speechless, and his angry face seemed to be flattened by an iron. It was indeed true. If he hadn't urged Chai Shao to go to the palace to meet the emperor and receive the title, how could the two of them be involved in this palace coup.

"How did you escape?"

This question was asked in a gentle and soft voice.

"I was chased to the Imperial Garden by Yu Wenzhi's men. When we were playing hide-and-seek near the rockery, a masked man killed me with two moves and then took me out of the palace."

"Masked man?" Chai Shen nodded: "It should be Wu Zun Bi Xuan."

"Martial Master Bi Xuan? Isn't he the best master in DTZ? Why did he appear in Jiangdu?"

"This……"

Chai Shen was speechless, thinking, yes, Yuwen Zhiji called him Martial Master Bi Xuan, and he didn't think much about it considering the burning palm power. Now that his son asked, there is indeed a problem here. Martial Master Bi Xuan is the strongest in DTZ, and is known as one of the three great masters of martial arts along with the Korean sword master Fu Cailin and the Central Plains wanderer Ning Daoqi. Why didn't he stay in DTZ but come to Jiangdu?
"Whether Wu Zun has other intentions is his business and has nothing to do with us. Our top priority now is to get out of the city in time."

On the way home, he thought in detail that with the troops controlled by Yu Wenzhi, even Wang Shichong's men and Dugu Feng's men combined would not be a match for them. If they could not take advantage of the chaos in the city to leave, Yu Wenzhi would definitely come back to deal with them once he controlled the situation.

嘤咛……

Just at this moment, a female voice with laziness and pain sounded, and Chai Shen noticed that there was a woman lying on his son's bed. The bed curtains were drawn before, making it difficult to see, but now there was a person making a sound inside, so how could he not be alert? He quickly walked over and lifted the bed curtain, and when he saw the beautiful face, Chai Shen was stunned. After a few breaths, he shuddered and bowed to greet her.

"My lady..."

At the same time, I asked myself again and again in my heart, why is the Queen in her son's bed?

Perhaps it was because she saw a familiar face that she felt a little safe. Xiao Meiniang lowered her hands from her chest, and her sleeves scraped across her creamy skin, causing a pair of eye-catching things to tremble.

"You are... the Crown Prince's Right Nei-shu... Lord Chai Shen-chai?"

"It's the lower official."

"Then this place is..."

"This is my residence." "Chai's residence?"

Chai Shen took the opportunity to turn around and looked at Chu Pingsheng and said, "Shao'er, why is the Queen in your room?"

"When I was fleeing, I saw Yu Wenzhi's men holding the queen hostage, so I didn't think much about it and rescued them and brought them home."

"You did the right thing."

What could he say in front of Xiao Meiniang? Blame his son for doing something unnecessary?

anyway.

Yu Wenzhi killed Yang Guang, and his son was lucky enough to take back the queen that Yang Guang, Li Yuan and Yu Wenzhi all coveted during the chaos.

But now is a turbulent time. Will doing this cause trouble for the Chai family?

Xiao Meiniang was in a daze for a while, and suddenly she was startled: "Lian'er, Zhengdao, where are they?"

Chu Pingsheng looked puzzled and asked, "Who is Zhengdao?"

Chai Shen said: "The son of the King of Qi, if I remember correctly, is about one year old."

"No, I have to go find Yu Wenzhi. He is in charge of the political affairs."

When Xiao Meiniang wanted to get out of bed, Chu Pingsheng quickly stopped her: "My lady, Yuwen Huaji killed the emperor. If you go to find him, you will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, right?"

"Master, Master, Dong Cheng is back."

Hearing the servants shouting in the yard, Chai Shen winked at Chu Pingsheng and quickly left the room.

In less than half a cup of tea, he returned and brought bad news: Yuwen Zhiji was dead. Yuwen Zhiji was furious and killed all the women in the harem and relatives in the city, including King Yang of Yue and Yang Zhengdao, who could only walk. Only Yang Hao, Yang Guang's nephew, who was on good terms with Yuwen Zhiji, managed to save his life.

When Xiao Meiniang heard this, she suddenly broke down and sighed with tears in her eyes.

"Yu Wenzhi, you are so cruel."

Chai Shen added, "Dugu Feng and Wang Shichong have already fled Jiangdu. When Yu Wenzhi's men have cleared out the royal family and relatives, they will come to the Chai Mansion to clean up. Shao'er, take the queen with you and follow me out of the city."

"I heard that Yu Wenzhi's people have already taken control of the city gate."

"There is a steamed bun shop in East City that belongs to the Chai family. There is a secret passage out of the city in the backyard."

"Uh……"

Chai Shen glanced at Xiao Meiniang and said in a deep voice: "In this situation, everyone will leave a way out for themselves."

"Ugh."

The stunning beauty sighed heavily. Two years ago, when Yang Guang came to Jiangdu, a maid heard that the imperial guards were planning a rebellion and reported it to the emperor. Instead of being rewarded, she was beheaded. Imagine if you expect ministers to be loyal to the court under such circumstances. Is it possible? Chai Shen, who only left himself a way out of the city, was already quite good.

"Okay, time waits for no one, let's go while Yu Wenzhi is busy."

After the death of Yang Zhengdao and Yang Ling, Xiao Meiniang had no worries anymore. It was better to follow the Chai father and son than fall into the hands of Yu Wenhuaji. So she wrapped her face with a silk scarf, left the bedroom with the support of Chu Pingsheng, and left the house with Chai Shen and Dong Cheng.

……

call out.

A sharp whistling sound was heard.

An arrow pierced the horse's belly, and a ball of blood burst out.

The horse felt pain and fell to the ground, and the person on it fell with it.

Xiao Meiniang pulled the reins urgently, looked back, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's not a big problem."

Chu Pingsheng pulled out the crossbow tied under the horse's belly, aimed at the pursuers behind him and pulled the trigger. With two puffs, a soldier was shot in the shoulder and fell off his horse, and another soldier was shot in the forehead and died on the spot.

He took two quick steps, saddled himself, mounted the horse, held Xiao Meiniang in his arms, and rode away.

Below her was the rising and falling horse's back, in front of her was the hand holding her waist, behind her was the man's chest, she couldn't help but feel a little distracted, but this emotion came and went quickly.

Thinking of his killed sons and grandsons, and the soldiers who were chasing him relentlessly, he couldn't help but feel sad.

"It's me that Yuwen Huaji wants. Hand me over to them and go on your own."

Two hours ago, she and the Chai father and son were about to arrive at the bun shop, but they were blocked by Yuwen Chengdu. Although they finally succeeded in entering the secret passage, their whereabouts were exposed and they were chased. As a result, the Chai father and son were separated. Chai Shen and Dong Cheng went south, while she and Chai Shao went north.

"Don't worry, I will protect you even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead." Chu Pingsheng said hatefully, "Yuwen the bastard not only committed regicide, but also wanted to kill my father and son and snatch the queen. I will never let this go. One day I will take his head to avenge today's vengeance."

"Yu Wenzhi has been planning for many years, and he has many soldiers and generals under his command. You are definitely not his opponent." Xiao Meiniang looked at the setting sun in the west and sighed softly: "The chaos has finally come."

I didn't expect that she, a woman, had such good taste.
