A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 220 Shameless

Tao Hua stroked his cuffs like a ruffian, and asked him with a smile, "Where are you from?"

The grain transporter was stunned, and after looking at her for a long time, he replied, "Naturally, he is from the country of Zhao."

With a slap on his sky cap, Taohua narrowed her eyes and asked ferociously again: "Where are you from?"

"..." This woman didn't look scary, but there was a figure like the King of Hades standing behind her. The grain transporter hesitated, and could only answer, "It's from the Great Wei."

"Very good!" Tao Hua waved his hand, and the guards next to him came up and grabbed him and the dozen or so people who had just entered the city, and put them on the ground.

"What are you here for?" Taohua asked the person at the front.

This group of people are dead men, and if they are caught, they will commit suicide. However, before they can make a move, Qianbaimei has already removed their jaws one by one, and then holds a lancet, playing with it .

Suicide is the easiest way to die, so the dead will choose to commit suicide when they are caught, but once they fail to commit suicide, they will be more afraid than ordinary people.Taohua understood this, so she blindfolded them and tortured them separately.After a while, someone recruited.

"We will attack the capital tonight, and we are here to open the city gate."

Taohua sneered: "When will it open?"

"Wait for the signal smoke to rise into the sky at Zishi, then open the city gate."

Very good, Taohua nodded, Shen Zaiye was still as shameless as ever, and clearly made a gesture of attacking the main entrance, but wanted to sneak attack from the side door.

Fortunately, she was aware of it, otherwise, she would have to swallow it hard!

After putting this group of dead soldiers into the prison, Tao Hua squatted at the side door, and Qing Moss came back after a while to report: "Master, the reinforcements are here."

"Okay." She nodded: "You and Master are going to guard a city gate. From now on, you must not let anyone go out. If Leng Fengchang dares to go out, arrest and kill each other!"

"Yes." Qingtai went away in response, Qianbaimei snorted: "As a teacher, I am a free-spirited man, why should I get involved in this matter of protecting my family and the country?"

"Because the country is gone, the master has no place to be happy." Taohua flattened his mouth: "What's more, both of your disciples have important responsibilities. As a master, why don't you help share some of the burden?"

It sounded quite reasonable, Qianbaimei thought for a while, and then listened to her and went to guard the city gate.

So the people outside didn't know the situation had changed at all. According to the original plan, Shen Zaiye was telling Xu Yangui: "After breaking through the side door, you don't have to catch up with the people behind to reinforce. I will take Leng Fengchang and leave the city."

Xu Yangui looked at him with crazy eyes: "You are attacking the city, what do you mean if you don't go in after the city is captured?"

"If I fight against women and children, if I still play tricks to win, won't I be ridiculed by the world?" Shen Zaiye said seriously.

"Come on." Xu Yangui snorted, "You have always been despised by the world, when did you care about it? I think you just want to win over the mountains and rivers to please her..."

Shen Zaiya slapped him before he finished speaking.

"I still carry the people of the world on my shoulders, the people of Great Wei." Looking at him deeply, Shen Zaiye said: "What can you say and what can't, do you want me to teach you?"

Xu Yangui was taken aback for a moment, remembering the result of today's discussion between the generals in the army, and fell silent immediately.

Indeed, even if Shen Zaiye holds great power, he is not a person who can act arbitrarily. Maybe he really loves Jiang Taohua and wants to protect her, but the group of people behind him who are desperately following him will not allow it.

The heights are extremely cold, and his life may not be as easy as it seems.

"Since that's the case, how should you explain to them when you entered the city and retreated?" Xu Yangui asked.

Shen Zaiye smiled: "Hasn't our Majesty grown up? He is also an emperor with his own opinions. We still have to listen to his words."

Let Mu Wuxia take the blame?Xu Yangui laughed back angrily: "You are like this, have you ever asked His Majesty how you feel?"

"As long as it's for his sister Jiang's benefit, His Majesty has no objection." Shen Zaiye got up, his sly smile instantly became gentle and harmless when he met the sunshine outside, and he was ready to go.

Taohua was preparing in the city, holding a long hemp rope in her hand, and tied Leng Fengchang to the roof of the highest part of the tower.

"What is the princess doing?!" Leng Fengchang's face turned pale with fright: "This humble minister is afraid of heights!"

"I feel that your lord may have the ability to protect our country of Zhao." Taohua said solemnly, "Tie you here, maybe the people of Great Wei will stop attacking?"

Looking at the environment under his feet, Leng Fengchang panicked: "Isn't this the side door? Today Dawei is going to attack the main door. The princess made a mistake?"

"That's right." Taohua smiled, and with a flick of her index finger, she brought his Tongcheng Token in front of him: "Isn't this brand your lord's?"

A chill came up from the soles of his feet, and Leng Feng often stopped talking: "This is not Weichen's, is it? Weichen's brand is..."

"Where is it?" Peach Blossom smiled, "The third prince just gave a sign out, it's not yours, where did it come from?"

Leng Fengchang stopped talking, his body trembled a little, his hands and feet were bound, he would fall from the tower if he moved, so he didn't dare to move.

Seeing this, it was tacit consent, Taohua curled her lips, and easily let go of the roof, leaving him alone on top.

"Princess." A minister next to him said: "Leng Fengchang is an old minister after all, and has made countless contributions. If you treat him like this, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of everyone in the court."

"In order not to chill your hearts, I have endured him for a long time." Taohua smiled: "If he is really wronged, no one will attack this side door tonight, and no one will come to rescue him, then Afterwards, I am willing to kneel down and kowtow nine times into his Fengchang Mansion to apologize, how good is that?"

This... The ministers stopped talking and decided to take a look at the development of the situation.

In the evening, the Wei army began to attack the city, and there was no movement at the side door. Taohua waited patiently, frowning slightly as she listened to the roaring and fighting sounds in the distance.

This battle was a real head-to-head confrontation. Jiang Changjue led people out of the city and blocked the Wei army for a mile. The battle lasted for three hours, with countless casualties. The atmosphere in Zhao Guoguo was depressed and tense. Waiting, when the time approached, there was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and a large number of troops really came towards the side door.

Everyone exclaimed for a while, lamenting that fortunately they had made preparations in advance and hurriedly prepared to defend the city.

Shen Zaiya took the lead, and Ben even squeezed the signal smoke to set off, when he saw the man tied up on the tower, he immediately smiled.

Jiang Taohua is really smart, but it saves Mu Wuxia from taking the blame.

"Prime Minister Shen didn't leave the main door, why did he go through the side door?" Tao Hua stood on the tower and shouted with a smile: "You are a man, so you should be upright."

"Princess, don't get me wrong." Shen Zaye chuckled: "I just want to pick up Mr. Leng Fengchang and reunite their family."

The civil and military officials on the city tower were shocked when they heard this.Leng Fengchang, who had only half his life left on the roof, shouted quickly: "Prime Minister, save me!"

It really is treason!Faced with such a result, several old ministers who had spoken well of him before looked at Tao Hua embarrassedly, and hurriedly said: "This Leng Feng always lives up to the grace of God and betrays his mother country. It is an unforgivable crime!"

"Yeah, it's our fault that we don't know people well. I thought we were colleagues for more than ten years, but it turns out... Sigh!"

Tao Hua laughed when she heard it, and turned around and said, "It's not too late to find out now, and I won't wait until the side door is breached to hear these regrettable words from everyone."

If they really believed that Leng Feng was always a loyal and patriotic person according to what they said, then they would not have the opportunity to talk leisurely here.

Several ministers apologized, Taohua turned her head with a half-smile, glanced at Shen's troops in the field, and said: "If Prime Minister Shen insists on attacking the side door, these people may not be enough, they can only do stealthy things, but go up Don’t have a big table.”

These words were full of irony, and everyone thought that Prime Minister Shen would be angry, but this man smiled, his eyes gleaming in the dark night, and he looked at the man on the tower and said, "Since you have made so many preparations, how about you?" I have no choice but to give up. But it is really not easy to run this trip, can the second princess let me take Master Fengchang back? His whole family is waiting in our barracks."

"If you want someone, you can." Taohua smiled sweetly, and pointed to the roof: "Come and save yourself."

Shen Zaiya nodded, and really jumped up, flying towards the roof of the tower.Taohua was taken aback, she didn't expect him to come for real, the archers on the city wall were not just for fun!

The moment he vacated and approached, thousands of arrows were fired from the city tower, all flying towards him!

"Shen Zaiye!" Taohua was frightened, and shouted: "Stop!"

With his body spinning, Shen Zaye drew out his soft sword to block the rain of arrows, stepped directly on the roof, and then lowered his head to look at the peach blossom below: "The princess' tone is too nervous."

Who gave him the courage to be so arrogant? !Feeling peachy, he picked up a rock and threw it at him, but he easily dodged it.

"Master Fengchang has joined me with such sincerity as opening the city gate to welcome me, how can Shen be someone who is ungrateful and abandons his allies?" With a certain heart, Shen welcomes you very much, and will definitely save everyone's lives like today."

After all, he picked up Leng Fengchang and flew downstairs.

Taohua was trembling with anger, pawing at the city wall and finally yelling loudly, "Shen Zaiye, you bastard!"

It's fine to save Zhao Guo's traitor, but you still want to poach her?

With a chuckle, Shen Zaye looked back at her, brushed his robe, and ordered the withdrawal of troops with a cold look.

The ministers on the tower were in mixed feelings. Some people envied Leng Feng that he could rest easy from now on, while others felt that Leng Feng was often against morality and kept condemning him.

After tossing and tossing for so long, Tao Hua felt a stomach ache, squatted down for a while, and then gave the order: "The extra troops go to the main gate to support, and the rest will guard here, and report if there is any movement."

"Yes." Everyone agreed, and Tao Hua dragged her body back to the palace. After a while, Qing Moss and Qian Baimei came back.Looking at her face, Qianbai frowned, and asked the imperial doctor to take a pulse.

"Princess Phoenix is ​​ill, and she has to rest and recuperate." The imperial doctor frowned, "I can't understand the poison, I'm afraid my health will get worse day by day."

Tao Hua nodded, then remembered about the Gu poison, and quickly asked her master, "Did Empress Lu say where the antidote is?"

Qian Baimei was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head away: "No."

"No? What should I do then?" Tao Hua was a little worried: "She is gone now, if she dies, wouldn't I have to die with her?"

Eyes darkened, Qianbai eyebrows said: "Don't think about it, my teacher will find a way for you. If Empress Lu is gone, there are other genius doctors in this world, and there will always be a way."

These words could comfort her, but they could not comfort himself.Qianbaimei turned his head and walked out, while walking, he said: "You should have a good rest first, and go to see Wuxia for the teacher."

"Okay." Taohua nodded, looked at her master's back in a strange way, and lay down obediently to rest.

Shen Zaiye returned to the barracks, directly executed all the Leng family in secret, and then went to the place where Empress Lu was held.

"Is Leng Fengchang your man?" Shen Zaiye asked.

Empress Lu frowned: "So what?"

"No." Shen Zaye wiped his hands gracefully with a handkerchief: "I just killed it, so I have to come and ask you."

Lu was stunned: "You killed Leng Fengchang?"

"Well, there are twenty people in his family." Shen Zaiye smiled at her: "It's quite cool."

"..." Killer devil!
Empress Lu was a little panicked. She was still confident at the beginning, thinking that the two siblings would not be able to figure out any tricks. Who knew that Leng Fengchang was gone, and the political power in the court would fall into their hands sooner or later?
"You let me go!" Empress Lu said, "I want to go back!"

"It's not impossible for you to go back." Shen Zaiye said lightly: "Answer me a question, and I can consider letting you go."

so good?Empress Lu quickly asked, "What's the problem?"

"Would it be impossible for a person who has been poisoned by Gu to conceive?"

Slightly taken aback, Empress Lu lowered her eyes: "Almost all people who have been poisoned by Gu are infertile."

"Almost." Shen Zaye looked at her: "Are there any exceptions?"

"..." Empress Lu hesitated for a long time before saying, "Maybe there are, so that's a good life for that person."

"Fate?" Shen Zaiye raised his eyebrows: "Does it mean that it can detoxify Gu poison?"

"No!" Mrs. Lu replied quickly: "It's just that if you can have a child before you die, it's considered a good life."

That's it, Shen Zaiye nodded, turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey!" Empress Lu hurriedly said, "Could it be possible that you don't mean what you say? Didn't you say that I answered and let me go?"

After a pause, Shen Zaye turned his head and said, "I just said that I was considering letting you go. Now that I've finished thinking about it, I still decide not to let you go. The empress can rest well."

Empress Lu: "..."

There are such shameless people in the world!
Going back to his tent, several lieutenants came to him, frowned and said: "Prime Minister, the siege battle has ended, both sides suffered heavy casualties, Jiang Changjue was brave and good at fighting, we couldn't get any bargain."
