Devil's Concubine

Chapter 220
From today onwards, what she bears is the fate of the people of Chu State and the whole country. She can't back down, and she has no way to back down.

The Empress Dowager Chu comforted Chu Zhibai softly like an ordinary old man, and tremblingly handed Chu Zhibai's little hand to Chu Yunshang, panting and said: "Hua Shao, I know that you are extremely intelligent. , with a strong wrist, but to govern a big country is not just a matter of being strong. Now the four countries are in chaos, turbulent events, and crises. Between countries, amazing talents and brilliant people emerge in endlessly. I don't expect you to open up territories. I only ask you to protect the foundation and lifeline of the Chu State, to protect the people of the Chu State from the suffering of the war, and not to be taken advantage of by other countries, you can do this!"

"Hua Shao will definitely do his best!" Chu Yunshang said loudly with a serious look on his face.

"Okay!" Sensing the determination in Chu Yunshang's words, the Empress Dowager Chu smiled with satisfaction, the light in her eyes became a little more blazing, and she said to Chu Yunshang: "Hua Shao, Bai'er is in your hands. You must raise him well and teach him the principles of life, you may do it!"

"Hua Shao will definitely live up to his mission!" Hua Shao said loudly again.

"Bai'er, do you understand?" The Empress Dowager Chu turned stern and said to Chu Zhibai.

Chu Zhibai lowered his head and said respectfully: "I understand, the Queen Mother is at ease."

"Okay, okay..." The Empress Dowager Chu said two good words in a row, and the look in her eyes gradually darkened. Seeing that the situation was not good, Chu Yunshang was about to speak, but the Empress Dowager Chu waved her hands: "Hua Shao, Baier, I'm tired, you go out first."

"This..." Chu Yunshang's face changed drastically, knowing that the Queen Mother Chu's time is running out.

"Go, I want to leave decently." The Empress Dowager Chu sighed secretly, her voice was sad.

"Yes!"

Chu Yunshang didn't dare to disobey, took Chu Zhibai's little hand, and walked slowly outside.

"Queen Dowager Chu, die!"

Just after leaving the Yinghua Palace, I heard a shrill voice from inside the palace. The voice was filled with grief, piercing through the afternoon sun and leaving a deep cold on the ground.

Chu Yunshang took Chu Zhibai's little hand and stood under the sun, but it was like being exposed to the ice and snow, the chill came from his bones.

When Chu Zhibai heard the sound of death and wailing, tears fell like rain, and he threw himself into Chu Yunshang's arms, crying into tears.

Chu Yunshang hugged Chu Zhibai tightly, she didn't cry, because she knew that she must be strong!
On this day, Qin State captured Fancheng of Chu State, Qi State captured Yuncheng of Molong State, and the world was in chaos!
Within a day, Fancheng of the Chu Kingdom fell, and Yuncheng of the Molong Kingdom fell. Some people looked south, while others looked north. The world was full of turmoil, and all eyes were focused on one person—her name was Chu Huashao, and she was from the Chu Kingdom. The eldest princess who has been living among the people for 15 years!

The death of the Empress Dowager Chu, and Chu Huashao's return to the country, two news spread like wildfire, and the clouds moved in all directions. The originally extremely delicate situation seemed to be torn apart because of the death of the Empress Dowager Chu, but because of an unknown source The appearance of the unknown Princess Huashao cast a veil of mystery on the royal family of Chu State, which made people daunted.

Fancheng, above the Drum Tower.

The Drum Tower is the tallest building in Fancheng. It rises tens of feet high. In the clear afternoon, a figure stood on the highest point, facing the wind, standing alone.

This man was dressed in sackcloth, and his black hair was hanging down his head. His clothes and hair were unrestrained, elegant and elegant.

This person was precisely Qin Shurong. At this time, he climbed up and looked into the distance. Qin Shurong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance. The distance was Yecheng, the imperial city of Chu State. His face was expressionless, but there was a slight turmoil in his heart.

Undoubtedly, Princess Huashao's return brought a great change to Qin's march into Chu. Although she didn't know the identity of Princess Huashao, since she appeared at such a critical moment, the Empress Dowager Chu To be alone in danger is definitely not a person who is easy to be with.

Because of the sudden birth of Princess Huashao and the turmoil everywhere, Qin Shurong was a little depressed, and even the joy of capturing Fancheng was somewhat diluted.

Behind him stood two people side by side.

One of them is dressed in black and has white hair, red lips like blazing flames. Behind his back, there is a mass of hell mandala, blooming in full bloom, and the flowers are astounding, but the person is more coquettish and charming than the flowers. This person is exactly the one who disappeared for a long time. Huohuang, alias Han Shiduo, is Qin Shurong's personal sword servant.

The other person, dressed in golden armor, tall and rugged, exuded a bloodthirsty arrogance all over his body. He was Li Ping, the vanguard general of the Qin State.

Huohuang and Li Ping didn't speak at this moment, they stood respectfully behind Qin Shurong, and occasionally looked at each other, only then could they see the slight ripples in each other's eyes.

After a while, Qin Shurong withdrew his gaze and asked indifferently, "How's the news about Chu Huashao?"

Huohuang hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "This person's background is extremely strange, his origin is unknown, and there is no more news about the royal family of the Chu Kingdom. It seems that someone deliberately planted a smoke bomb."

"Smoke bomb?" Qin Shurong smiled calmly, "I'm afraid it may not be a smoke bomb. The Empress Dowager Chu has been planning for many years and has influenced the situation of the four countries by herself. If it's just a smoke bomb, it would be too underestimating her means."

At this moment, Li Ping said: "Prince, even though Chu Huashao is a bit weird, after all, she has lived among the people for more than ten years and has no foundation in Chu State. Even if she successfully sits in the Chu Palace, it may not be able to change the current situation."

Frowning slightly, Qin Shurong said, "What do you mean?"

Li Ping straightened his waist, and said in a cold voice, "Fancheng has fallen, and Wucheng and Qiancheng are next. Fancheng, Wucheng, and Qiancheng will form horns to defend Yecheng, the imperial city of Chu. If we take Wucheng and Qiancheng, we will definitely be able to frighten the Chu Palace from the front, even if this Chu Huashao is really weird, I'm afraid it will be too late."

She smiled softly: "That's a good idea, Shiduo, what do you mean?"

Han Shiduo was usually very proud, but she deliberately restrained her edge in front of Qin Shurong. She raised her head and glanced at Qin Shurong, as if she was surprised that Qin Shurong would ask her opinion, and she was a little embarrassed about how to answer.
