In the quiet hall, a handsome and majestic young man sat on the throne, constantly correcting the memorials on the table.
She frowned, as if she was having a headache about the memorial, or was bothered by other things.
Suddenly, she sighed softly, put down the pen in her hand, and gently rubbed her swollen temples.
At that moment, there was a youthful feeling like a girl who was worrying, which made many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace shine.
Especially the orchid fingers that she raised unconsciously, stunned many people.
"Um?"
As if aware of the strange gazes of the people around him, the prince calmly put down his hand, turned to look at the maid aside and asked: "Xiaoxue, is there any news from Chuzhou?"
"Not yet."
Xueru said expressionlessly: "Currently, my subordinates have reported that the plague is spreading in Chuzhou and that Yan soldiers took the opportunity to attack the city. There is no other news yet!"
Hearing this, the furrow on the prince's brow became deeper and deeper. He was no longer in the mood to correct the memorial, so he stood up and walked out of the palace.
"Let the people under my command continue to pay more attention. Any news must be reported to me immediately!"
"yes!"
After saying that, she sighed softly, feeling a little irritated and said: "Xiaoxue, accompany me to the small garden for a walk!"
"yes!"
Xueru quickly bowed and followed.
After the two left, the palace maids and eunuchs immediately started talking about it.
"Is this the 326th time His Highness the Crown Prince has visited Mr. Zhao's residence this month?"
"More than that? There were several times when His Highness wandered around the palace and then ran to Mr. Zhao's residence. Look, it was at least four hundred times!"
"Hiss! If you go there so many times in a month, you can remember every brick and tile there clearly, right?"
"Hehe, others say that Mr. Zhao is the favorite of His Highness the Crown Prince. Let me see, he must be inseparable this time!"
A palace maid covered her mouth and smiled.
Upon hearing this, the other palace maids and eunuchs immediately closed their mouths, and even their smiles faded a lot.
The new palace maid was left with her eyes wide open and a dull look on her face, not knowing what was going on.
"Your Highness, that's what happened!"
In the third prince's residence, a servant knelt down to report.
After hearing what he said, the third prince, who usually looked angry, laughed instantly and said: "Okay, you have done a good job. Once the news of Zhao Xiaole's death comes, you should come and inform me immediately!"
"yes!"
As soon as the servant retreated, a counselor came out and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, Congratulations, Your Highness, for finally eradicating Zhao Xiaole, a serious problem in his heart."
"Now that the Yan army is besieging the city, Zhao Xiaole will definitely be defeated!"
"When Chuzhou is recaptured, the governor of Chuzhou will definitely be selected again."
"And Sun Fu has long been beheaded by the people of the Ministry of Punishment. There is no one under King Pingxi who can take over the position of Chuzhou Prefect. His Highness can just put his own people in!"
Other people in the hall also nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, this is a God-given opportunity. Your Highness must not miss it."
"Only by firmly grasping Chuzhou in our hands can we have the capital to negotiate with King Ping Xi, and His Highness will not need to be restricted by King Ping Xi like now!"
"Yes, I also feel that this opportunity must not be missed. Your Highness should make arrangements in advance!"
The third prince nodded and said with a sneer in his narrow eyes: "Haha, I am so grateful to Mr. Zhao for being able to get Chuzhou so smoothly this time."
"In this case, I will be generous and reward him with a whole corpse!"
"Immediately inform all the ministers and censors. Once Chuzhou city is defeated and Zhao Xiaole escapes back to the capital, you will immediately join him."
"This time, I still don't believe that I can't kill him!"
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and sneered again and again.
To this day, he can't forget the kick Qin Sining gave him.
That kick cut off all hope!
Take away all your happiness!
So not only did he want to kill Qin Sining, he didn't even want to let go of the people around Qin Sining!
Besides, Zhao Xiaole is still his opponent!
When he thought of this, he felt very agitated, and the veins on his forehead kept beating, as if they were about to burst at any time.
He looked at a man dressed as a warrior next to him and roared: "How do you do things? If you can't even catch a woman, what use does the king have for you?!"
Plop.
The warrior was immediately frightened and fell to his knees on the ground. The cold sweat on his forehead kept pouring out, and he trembled all over:
"Your Highness's atonement is not because I am not trying my best, but because the guards around that woman are so powerful that several of my brothers have fallen into their hands."
"My subordinates suspect that there are even several first-rate masters among those people!"
Unexpectedly, after hearing his explanation, the third prince became even more angry. He slapped the armrest of the throne and said, "Huh! Excuse!"
"That bitch is the leader of a chamber of commerce. Where did the top-notch experts come from to protect her? It must be you who are not willing to do your best. Come on, let me drag her down and kill her!"
Two burly soldiers walked in immediately outside the palace and dragged the man away.
The man was still shouting, "Your Highness, we have really tried our best. I beg you to forgive me. I will do my best and die, Your Highness!"
However, it was useless no matter how loud he shouted, because no one paid any attention to him.
Instead, everyone lowered their heads, their faces full of nervousness, and they didn't even dare to express their anger.
Ever since the palace was captured, the third prince's temper has become extremely hot, causing them to act with trepidation around him.
Because if you don't do it well, you will be dragged out and killed like the person just now, and you won't even have a place to cry out for injustice.
"snort!"
After killing the warrior, the anger on the third prince's face still remained.
He stared outside the palace, as if staring at the faces of Qin Sining and others, gritted his teeth and said: "When I ascend the throne, all of you will die for me!"
Hearing this, everyone in the hall instantly shuddered.
And at the same time.
Outside the west gate of Shangjing City.
The two gatekeepers were leaning against the city wall and fell asleep, not paying attention to who was entering the city today.
But suddenly, they were awakened by a violent shaking.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a war horse galloping in the distance, with an armored messenger on it, and a red chicken feather stuck on his helmet, which was particularly dazzling.
"Eight hundred miles urgent?"
"Coming from the direction of Chuzhou!"
The two gatekeepers were startled, and their expressions suddenly changed: "Could it be that Chuzhou has been defeated and the city has been breached?"
However, when they heard the shout of the messenger, they were instantly stunned.
"Good news! Captain Zhao defeated Yan's 50,000-strong army, killed more than 20,000 enemies, captured 30,000 alive, and captured countless weapons and horses!"
