The best princess

Chapter 125 A Battlefield Without Gunpowder ([-])
Brother Gu didn't answer, he raised his head and took a deep look at Fu Youran, then turned around and went back to the Chu army. He brought the hundred spies and hurried back the way he came. Old man Sun should have got the information. Old man Sun had to be stopped before he launched a siege.

The thousands of Chu troops outside the city withdrew in a short time. Fu Youran looked at the direction where they disappeared, and remained silent for a long time. Qi Yibei stood beside her, looking at her profile, feeling mixed feelings in his heart. List.

Maybe Fu Youran had a premonition before entering the city, why did she still choose to enter the city?Maybe only she knows.

Chang Jiu didn't say too much, but just told the left and right, "Take them down, and wait carefully."

Fu Youran and Qi Yibei were brought into a courtyard. It was too dark to see where they were. When they entered the room, it was surprisingly clean. It could be seen that it had been carefully tidied up. It's the bedroom, and the right is the study.

This will be where they will live for a period of time in the future. Fortunately, it is not a prison cell. It seems that there are still acquaintances who can handle things.

Chang Jiu followed behind them and didn't speak for a long time. Fu Youran looked back at him and smiled, "You still want to protect me personally?"

Chang Jiu raised his hand and scratched his eyebrows with his little finger, as if combing his long eyebrows, "Liu Shuai will be back tomorrow, and he will discuss the details with you in detail, and if you need anything, there is always someone outside the door." wait."

Fu Youran said: "I want to meet Hero Niu."

Chang Jiu thought for a while, then shook his head, "In a couple of days, he has something to do now."

Niu Daxia is a muddleheaded person who always runs to the dark side. When he is interested in something, he ignores anyone and is highly concentrated. It is said that such a person is either a genius or an idiot. Although Niu Daxia has not reached the level of "idiot" Not far, but almost there.

Fu Youran knew about Niu Daxia's habit, so she nodded, and Chang Jiu led her out.

After closing the door, Qi Yibei pulled Fu Youran to his side, and said in a low voice, "Are you afraid?"

Fu Youran shook her head, "Not afraid."

"I won't let anything happen to you."

Fu Youran looked at him, "Me too."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Fu Youran walked to the door and sighed, "We ran in like a trap."

"Sad?"

Fu Youran turned her head and looked at Qi Yibei for a long while, wondering what she was thinking, her eyes were drifting and unfocused, Qi Yibei rubbed her hair distressedly, "At least you don't have to download now, do you want to forcibly attack the city?" It's decided, you're here, Old Man Sun doesn't dare to act rashly."

Fu Youran looked at Qi Yibei, lowered her head and snickered as if she was talking about something important, "Let's see what Wang Zhenqing wants to do with me, maybe this time it's really a big bet and I can't go back."

Qi Yibei shook his head, leaned into Fu Youran's ear and said, "Didn't Chang Jiu say that Wang Zhenqing wants to rule the river, he doesn't want to fight, and he can't afford to fight."

Fu Youran smiled and said, "So, we still have some bargaining chips?"

Qi Yibei laughed, "Maybe we can ask for better treatment."

Speaking of this, Fu Youran showed some worry again, "I don't know how to arrange for those thousands of soldiers."

"Don't worry, before you reach an agreement with Wang Zhenqing, they will make offerings to you like a guest of honor, and those soldiers will naturally not suffer."

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, the two of them had no sleepiness, nor could they fall asleep. They just chatted all the way until the sky turned white, and then they were a little tired. Regardless of the meeting with Liu Kaishan at noon today, they climbed into bed and slept together. I'm gone.

After Liu Kaishan received the information from his confidant, he rushed back non-stop, and it was almost noon.

At the beginning, Chang Jiu was arranged to be the deputy general by his side, purely because he had saved his life, and giving him an errand, letting him eat a bowl of public food, was considered a repayment to him, but Liu Kaishan never thought that this would save him The young man would be so bold as to lure Empress Fu Chu into the city. Liu Kaishan really broke into a cold sweat. If Chang Jiu really had a different intention, then the Iron Guard City was already under Fu Chu's control. If he said he had no dissent, why did he do this?Is it just to get promoted and get rich?
With all kinds of questions, Liu Kaishan returned to the Iron Guard City. He didn't go to see Fu Youran first, but went straight to Chang Jiu's deputy general's mansion. After entering the mansion, he saw Chang Jiuwu kneeling with thorns tied all over his body. In the courtyard, there was actually an act of pleading guilty.

Liu Kaishan was puzzled, "Brother Chang, why is this so?"

Chang Jiudao: "Opening the city gate without the command of the commander. This is the first crime. It is the second crime. It is the second crime. It is the third crime. The commander should deal with it according to the military law."

Liu Kaishan sighed, stepped forward and pulled Chang Jiu up, "If you capture Empress Fu Chu alive, any crime is worth it. But this action is indeed too risky."

Chang Jiu was about to kneel again when he heard this, Liu Kaishan stopped him, "I know the reason why you let Gu Xiangdong go, I can't blame you, after all, the old man Sun Fu has a violent temper, no one persuaded him to say Maybe we will attack the city with all our strength regardless of the Queen's life, and we can only waste our troops. As for Xi Yan..." Liu Kaishan shook his head, "He is my cousin, so he made a bit of a show. Many people in the army refused to accept him. He was already a little dissatisfied with promoting you to a lieutenant general at his level, but this time he wanted to plot against you again. He just wanted to take over the great achievements. It is understandable that you killed him, and you gave him a reputation of loyalty. It can be considered as benevolent.”

Only then did Chang Jiu heave a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "Thank you Liu Shuai. This incident also happened suddenly. You know my background. The empress used to be the head of a family who lived on the same mountain with me. I don't know how to become an empress. Liu Shuai's absence in the city can reduce their vigilance, the opportunity is fleeting, and this subordinate acted boldly, luckily they were caught in one fell swoop."

Liu Kaishan patted him on the shoulder, and started to untie Chang Jiu, "Brother Chang made such a great achievement, the Supreme Emperor must be very happy." As he spoke, he took Chang Jiu to the hall.

Chang Jiu followed him, and as soon as he stepped into the house, Liu Kaishan turned his head sharply, "What I don't understand is, since brother Chang and the empress have brotherhood, why is he still willing to be loyal to the Supreme Emperor? As long as we take down the Iron Guard City, with The relationship between Brother Chang and her, prosperity and wealth are just around the corner."

Chang Jiu's complexion sank, "Is Liu Shuai suspicious of me?"

Liu Kaishan said: "Brother Chang, don't take offense, it's just that something is wrong, Liu just wants to clarify, and if the Supreme Emperor asks about it in the future, I will have an explanation."

Chang Jiu's complexion improved, and he said, "Liu Shuai doesn't know something. Although she is the queen, Fu Chu's state affairs are all in the hands of Li Ze. I was born as a bandit, how can I be valued by those old people? It is true that I am rich and honored, but that is not my goal. Chang Jiu is not talented. I have a ridiculous ideal. I want to command tens of thousands of troops, become a general with real power, and be willing to serve Liu Shuai. The three meals and clothing of this deputy general are all because Liu Shuai doesn't dislike me because of my status, and he even recommended me to be the deputy general. I have heard that the Supreme Emperor also chooses talents, so Chang Jiu will take the risk. Fight for the future."

Liu Kaishan pondered for a while, as if he was considering the truth of these words, Chang Jiu suddenly became embarrassed, and fell to his knees, "Liu Shuai, Chang Jiu has one more request."

Liu Kaishan helped him up, "Brother Chang, you may as well speak up if you have something to say."

Chang Jiu was silent for a long time before saying: "Brother, I made this decision because I heard you and Xi Yan say that the Taishang Huangbao wanted to rule the river, but is it true?"

Liu Kaishan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "That's right, the Supreme Emperor called me back this time for this purpose."

Chang Jiudao: "Because of this, Chang Jiu is willing to bear the name of treachery. Whether it's negotiating with her or using her as a hostage, the Supreme Emperor will never hurt Empress Fu Chu,"

Liu Kaishan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Exactly."

Chang Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Then please Liu Shuai treat her two preferentially before the Supreme Emperor summons..."

Liu Kaishan laughed out loud when he heard this, "Brother Chang is worrying too much, even if you give me the courage, I won't dare to offend the Emperor's guests."

Chang Jiu lowered her head and sighed, "She definitely doesn't understand me in her heart, so consider this the last thing I do for her."

Liu Kaishan's doubts were almost gone, thinking that the Supreme Emperor would reward him greatly after learning about this, he was also happy from the bottom of his heart, but after thinking about it, he said worriedly: "I heard that the queen's husband is the prince of the Jin Kingdom. ?”

Chang Jiu said: "Yes, he is also in the city, locked up with the Queen."

Liu Kaishan frowned, "It's not right, I think it's better to put him back, otherwise Fu Chu's matter has not been resolved, and Jin will cause trouble again."

Chang Jiu also fell into deep thought, and said after a while, "But he will definitely not go back. If he could let go of the queen, he wouldn't have given up the crown prince and followed the queen to Chu Kingdom."

Liu Kaishan had a headache even more, walked around the room for two steps, clenched his hands into fists and lightly hammered his forehead.

Chang Jiudao: "The only solution for now is to end the negotiations quickly and release them before Jin's attack, or send people to Jin. If they take action, they will go to explain on behalf of the Supreme Emperor. We will never The meaning of embarrassment."

Liu Kaishan thought for a while, "I'd better give it to the Supreme Emperor first, and listen to his old man's opinion."

Chang Jiu nodded in agreement, and said, "Does Liu Shuai want to meet the Queen first?"

Liu Kaishan shook his head, "I'll go away first, so as not to see her, I don't know how to treat her with courtesy."

So he went back to the Marshal's Mansion and wrote a letter to Wang Zhenqing, asking whether he should directly talk to Empress Fu Chu or negotiate with Li Ze.

When Wang Zhenqing got the news, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for a few days, and soon he heard back and met Empress Fu Chu first.If Fu Youran can be persuaded to cooperate, and then showdown against Li Ze, the chances of winning will be higher.

After receiving the order, Liu Kaishan came to the small courtyard where Fu Youran was under house arrest, and invited her and Qi Yibei to go to Kangcheng to face the saint.

Fu Youran waved her small hand, "I'm sick, I don't want to move."

Liu Kaishan hastily invited a doctor, after a diagnosis, there is really something wrong, but it's not a disease, it's a happy event, it's only been a month.
