Chapter 369 Bearing Grudges (3)
Cheng Rong picked up the letter and examined it carefully. He was quite surprised, and immediately handed the letter over to Qu Tu. After he opened it carelessly, he found that the document was full of rumors attacking him. A black material collected many unwarranted crimes against Dig Tu, such as scolding Dig Tu for being lustful, slandering Dig Tu for colluding with the King of Lu, plotting to usurp the throne, uniting concubines in the palace, murdering the queen, and having an abortion of the nobleman Jing.

"That's unreasonable! What is Bodin's intention of weaving these things? Could it be that he is going to frame us with countermeasures?" Qu Tu, whose scalp was numb, immediately became furious.

"I'm afraid that these rumors, Boding has sent people to spread the propaganda in the pass. Perhaps the reputation of the young master in the capital has been completely corrupted by these spies, so the young master must guard against it. This time the king summoned us back to the capital, we must treat it with caution. " Cheng Rong, who was beside Qutu, seriously advised Qutu.

"My lord, these guys are simply deceiving people too much. Why don't we catch a few spies from Xirong and send them directly to the king to make them confess. Isn't it easy to handle?" An Tong suggested indignantly.

"What An Tong said may be a good idea, but things are definitely not that simple. The king has always been very suspicious, and he is very wary of the young master, so if the king doesn't ask anything, we must not do it on our own. Let's play." Cheng Rong thought about it.

"Okay, Master Cheng, these few days, we have borrowed these documents to lure Xirong's spies around, and we caught one by one." Que Tu clenched his fists.

At the end of the year, Kuang Tu and Cheng Rong led three Xirong spies and [-] cavalry returned in triumph, marching towards the capital.

I heard that Qu Tu, Cheng Rong, and Wu Jin had led the army to triumphantly. Minggong Longyan was very happy, ordered the cabinet ministers to put up a guard of honor for the emperor, and personally led all the civil and military officials to welcome the king's return outside the city of Haojing.

The armor is bright, and the soldiers are like a forest. Under the big flag, the radiant generals Ju Tu, Cheng Rong, and Wu Jin rode their horses. When they saw the emperor's guard of honor, they immediately dismounted one by one and bowed to Minggong's dragon flag.

Enthusiastic Ming Gong poured the wine himself and gave it to Qu Tu and others.

Looking at the three tiger generals kneeling in the dust, Ming Gong's eyes suddenly sharpened. Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, all civil and military officials surrounded the dragon chariot and returned to Chaoyang Palace with great momentum. Immediately afterwards, the imperial court The eunuch issued an edict, canonizing Qu Tu and Cheng Rong as first-class princes in turn, but there was no figure of Ming Gong on the main hall.

"Strange, what does your majesty mean by this? It is obvious that the majesty rewarded the meritorious officials, but the majesty did not show up by himself. Could it be that the majesty wants to give us a reminder?" Cheng Rong and Juetu looked at each other inexplicably, puzzled .

At this time, from the top of the jade steps, groups of court ladies holding palace lanterns came down slowly. Under the reflection of the palace fans, Baosi, the graceful, graceful and charming Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had brought Axi to the excavating place. before.

"Chen Jutu pays homage to the empress, who is a thousand years old." Jug Tu was caught off guard and immediately gave a big gift. At this time, under the hint of A Xi, the court ladies hurriedly retreated, and only Baosi and Jug Tu looked at each other in the corridor. Talk for a long time.

"Mr. Jutu, don't you know the story of the master of high meritorious deeds? I came to see you quietly today for the sake of your honor and life. As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Let you go, and let you go, then you have to retreat bravely and show weakness as soon as possible, I absolutely don't want to see you and the king end up in an incompatible situation." Bao Si said calmly, straight to the point.

"Empress, your good intentions, Jugtu understands, don't worry, I will definitely not make things difficult for you." Jugtu said with a sad expression.

"Young Master Jutu, how are things going at home? Is sister Xinyue still in good health?" Bao Si asked softly.

"Hey, empress, although the family is full of chaos, I am definitely used to it. As for Xinyue, she is a respectable and intelligent woman. Don't worry, everything will be fine." Jue Tu suddenly said kindly. laughed.

"Since this is the case, then my palace can rest assured. When you reach the border, you must find an opportunity to cut the army in batches to the imperial court. This palace will help you secretly by the king's side, take care of it!" Filled with tears, she lightly opened Dan's lips and said.

"Yes, empress empress, you also cherish it. Remember Die Tu's words, if anyone offends me, I will be offended. Please be careful of Concubine Jiang and Concubine Ge in the palace. When necessary, you must not be soft-hearted!" Thu bowed his hands affectionately and warned.
