Chapter 63: Life and Death

Li Xin had no choice but to send someone to find Chen Shou.

At this time, Chen Shou did not relax at all and was still guarding the palace gate.

Although the fire was almost burning, if you come a few days later, it would probably be necessary for Zhao Zhe to attack and they would have to burn them all clean.

A group of soldiers followed Chen Shou in the West Palace to demolish the burning palace and the ordinary houses, and tried to create a fire barrier.

Everyone's faces were covered in dust, with only one eye left. The concubines behind had completely relaxed, and there were even a few who had the time to see them put out the fire.

Zhao Hong trotted, and after coming over, he looked around and found that everyone was dark and could not find Chen Shou for a moment. Until he got a little touched on his head, "You boy, why are you watching randomly? That's Your Majesty's woman, can't you know?"

Zhao Hong thought to himself, you are so embarrassed to say something, I have kept the door for you and Concubine Wu for more than ten times. I am afraid that you have finished reading what you shouldn’t have to read.

Although he felt sorry for his heart, Zhao Hong said with a smile on his face: "Hehe, sir, Li Xin is here."

Chen Shou nodded, not overly excited, because this was within his budget. Li Xin has both advantages and disadvantages, and there will be a steady stream of troops entering Beijing in the future. A major turmoil after the reshuffle of power is inevitable.

"There is a brother from the Xiliang Army outside. He said that the second young master had entered the city. The prince rebelled and took the risk and had already kidnapped His Majesty and was about to let you go."

"What? Let me go?"

Chen Shou touched his chin and said, "How did I know that this is not the trick of Prince Niang? Go back and tell Li Xin that the facts are in front of you. Since Prince Niang kidnapped the emperor, what else can I say? It is not enough to calm the anger of the world if he doesn't kill him."

The person who came to deliver the letter went back to report that Chen Shou suspected that the emperor had designed an ambush and did not dare to come.

Li Xin gritted her teeth and came to the West Palace in person, shouting loudly: "Chen Shou, it's me, open the door quickly!"

There were all Western Liang soldiers above the palace gate, but there was no movement at this time.

They stared at the palace gate, and did not open the door to greet the prince of Xiliang because the one below was the prince of Xiliang. Everyone was waiting for Chen Shou's order.

Li Xin also looked up and saw the leader standing on the city tower with his arms in his arms, looking at him expressionlessly.

Behind Li Xin, a young general shouted loudly: "Li Bohao, why didn't you open the city gate when you saw the second young master?"

Li Bohao ignored him and did not even have any fluctuations in his expression. The eldest son was in Xiliang, and a considerable number of them were loyal to Li Xin. These people were very dissatisfied with Li Xin.

Not only did he not want to take revenge, he repeatedly said that he should put the overall situation first, which made Li Jin's confidants feel cold.

Li Xin looked at the people above the palace gate. He calculated that they were all from the General's Mansion. He did not obey his orders, which did not make Li Xin angry.

What he was thinking about was how to end the palace change as soon as possible and minimize the damage to the prestige of the court.

The young general behind Li Xin's attitude of seeing the top man, became angry from his heart and shouted loudly.

Li Xin waved her hand, and they immediately calmed down, "I am Li Xin, I will go in alone, please open the palace gate."

His words were very short, but very powerful, and the city gate slowly opened.

No one would doubt the second young master's words, and the palace gate will be closed immediately after it is opened.

Li Xin was alone. After coming in, he looked around and found an ice wall behind the wall.

Looking through the ice, there were clearly corpses inside, and most of the uneven places on the ground were corpses.

In the small West Palace Square, there are man-made roadblocks. Even if you break through the palace gate, you will not be able to easily kill them.

Li Xin nodded and said, "The arrangement is good, some generals."

The person who led the way naturally knew his level. Li Xin praised him, which showed that he did a good job. Although everyone didn't like this second young master, he still felt honored.

"Sir, the second young master is here."

Chen Shou didn't expect that he would come in in person, so he was shocked and looked behind him.

Li Xin smiled and said, "Stop looking, I came in by myself."

"Long time no see." Chen Shou had a dark face, bared his little white teeth, and slapped it.

"Your Majesty tells you to go to Chunhe Palace, and I will announce the order, so that you can save face."

Chen Shou put down the shovel in his hand and said leisurely: "The military strategy says that you should not stop the army and do not pursue the enemy. Fighting with the desperate rebels will definitely pay a huge price. You are more familiar with this. Now the rebel prince Zhao Zhe is at the end of his journey. If I go, it is hard to guarantee that he will not be too eager to jump over the wall and do some crazy things. I sacrifice my life for the country without blinking, for fear that he will not be good for Your Majesty."

Li Xin sighed in her heart. This kid is still so slick. He used to rely on the power of the general's mansion to control him.

Now he is older than himself, and his title is the same as himself. And he has a group of loyal subordinates, which is even more difficult to deal with.

"You must tie the bell if you untied it. You and Zhao Zhe fought in the palace. If this chaos does not end in time, the consequences will be unimaginable. Officials from all over the country recruited troops in the name of serving the king, and everyone wanted to come to the capital to get a share of the pie. This year it was cold again, and the eyes of foreign races outside the border were green, and they would definitely go south when spring was warm. At that time, the Central Plains were declining, only for a day and a night. Chen Shou, I know, you don't want to see this situation and face it wrong? Go to Chunhe Palace with me, and I guarantee your safety."

Chen Shou stood there, and a soldier from Qin Feng camp brought him a basin of hot water, washed his face casually, washed away the black and gray, and there was still white heat on his face.

"I can go to Chunhe Temple with you."

After Chen Shou finished speaking, many generals behind him shouted: "Sir!"

"Sir, think twice!"

"Don't trust others!"

"You can't leave the West Palace, sir!"

......

Chen Shou chuckled and said to Li Xin: "You see it. It's not that I, Chen Shou, is afraid of death. In fact, it's the rebellious prince, who is simply a beast without a king or a father. You can go to Chunhe Palace, but the people behind me must go together. They will live and die together with me. I am them, and they are me. The rebel Zhao Zhe really wants to take action. We, the men of the Great Qi, will have to keep His Majesty the Emperor even if we die."

Everyone understood that the way Chen Shou kept the emperor was purely fart, and he wanted to save himself.

For Chen Shou's subordinates, protecting himself means saving everyone. Once Chen Shou dies, their fate will be like Prince Fufeng's subordinates back then.

Li Xin shook her eyelids, pondered for a moment, and said, "Yes."

Now everyone had no worries, Chen Shou stretched out his hand and said, "Beat the drum, gather troops, let's go to see Your Majesty."

In the square, people scattered in every corner slowly gathered, and the palace gate of the West Palace finally opened completely.
