Liang Rong escaped death and was taken into the palace and went straight to Lou Yuzhen's Luchen Palace.
Looking up, he saw Lou Yuzhen sitting on a brocade couch, staring closely at him.
Liang Rong hurriedly knelt down and said: "Liang Rong, the last general, pays homage to the Queen."
Lou Yuzhen waved her hand and said to the guards: "You all go down!"
"Yes!"
Lou Yuzhen dismissed all the maids and eunuchs again, then stood up and walked around Liang Rong.
"General Liang, I would like to ask one more question, are you a soldier of Jiangdu Army?"
When Liang Rong was about to answer, Lou Yuzhen said again: "If you are willing to admit it, I may spare your life. I hope you answer this question seriously!"
Liang Rong couldn't believe it, he raised his head and said: "If you want to kill, just kill, no need to say more!"
Lou Yuzhen stared at him for a long time, sighed softly, and said: "You are really powerful, I can't tell your identity! Forget it, I will just treat you as you!"
Liang Rong was stunned and said nothing.
Lou Yuzhen returned to the cave and sat down, saying quietly: "I am not testing you this time. To be honest, I have never completely believed in you, but I still kept you. Do you know why?"
Liang Rong was shocked and said: "Why?"
Lou Yuzhen said: "Ever since your Jiangdu Army defeated Zhu Yuanzhang, I have always had a bad feeling in my heart. Although I don't want to admit it, I actually understand that Your Majesty is no match for Jiangdu Army."
Liang Rong remained silent.
Lou Yuzhen added: "The development of the situation now has indeed confirmed my premonition. Our army's defeat has been determined. Your Majesty does not intend to leave Wuchang, so I have no choice but to follow him."
Liang Rong couldn't help but said: "Where are the troops of His Highness the Five Kings?"
Lou Yuzhen sneered and said: "The five kings and Zhang Bixian have rebelled. They have stationed troops in Huangzhou and have no intention of coming to rescue them."
Liang Rong said in disbelief: "His Royal Highnesses, Five Kings, would actually betray His Majesty?"
Lou Yuzhen shook her head and said calmly: "The army was defeated like a mountain, and he was not the only one who betrayed him? Because of this, His Majesty became furious and no longer trusted anyone. He ordered many officials to be executed!"
Liang Rong wiped his cold sweat and said, "I still don't understand why you saved me?"
Lou Yuzhen glanced at him and said: "Your Majesty has two bloodlines, one of which is my own. I have ordered them to be sent away..."
After a pause, he continued: "If... they fall into the hands of your army in the future, I hope the general will remember my gratitude for saving you today... and help me!"
After saying that, he stood up and gave a blessing.
Liang Rong knew that Lou Yuzhen could not go to such trouble to test him, so he stood up and returned the salute, but said nothing.
Lou Yuzhen already understood what he meant and said: "I will send someone to take you to a safe place. If you hide for two days, I can't control what happens next."
After speaking and clapping his hands, the general just walked in again and took Liang Rong out.
The safe place Lou Yuzhen mentioned is indeed secret enough, it is a temple.
Liang Rong was hiding in the temple, bored, and the thing he thought about the most was why Chen Youren and Zhang Bixian betrayed Chen Youliang!
Zhang Bixian and Chen Youliang are sworn brothers, both chivalrous and righteous, and Chen Youren is Chen Youliang's biological brother. One of his eyes was lost for Chen Youliang.
He always found it a bit unbelievable that two people would betray together.
……
Chen Youren has been in the cell for six days.
After arriving in Huangzhou, he vaguely realized that something was wrong. Zhang Bixian suddenly ordered the army to repair in Huangzhou on the grounds that there were not enough warships.
When Chen Youren went to question Zhang Bixian, he couldn't even see anyone and was locked up.
This group of troops was originally brought over from Huguang Province by Zhang Bixian, and since Chen Youliang went to Jiangzhou, Huangzhou has gradually become Zhang Bixian's base camp.
Only then did Chen Youren realize that Zhang Bixian was going to rebel. He cursed in prison and wanted to see Zhang Bixian, but he got no response at all.
In the early morning of this morning, Chen Youren had just woken up and was suddenly startled when he saw a person standing outside the cell door. Who could it be if it wasn't Zhang Bixian?
"Zhang Bixian, you bastard, my royal brother values you so much, and you betrayed him. Have you forgotten the bond between you two?" Chen Youren scolded.
Zhang Bixian heard Chen Youren's scolding, but he was not angry and sat cross-legged outside the prison.
"Chen Youren, you can scold me for other things, but it's best not to talk about our sworn relationship!" His tone was calm.
Chen Youren was stunned for a moment, and then became even more angry.
"Why don't I tell you? You, a senseless person, will not have a good death in the future!"
Zhang Bixian sneered and said: "When it comes to Wuyi, no one in the world can compare with your brother Chen Youliang!"
"Fart! If my brother is unrighteous, will he make you a duke?"
"That's because I'm still valuable to him! If I become a dead man like Brother Dingbian, I'll be like him and not even be able to become a marquis!" Zhang Bixian said coldly.
Chen Youren's face changed slightly, and he said forcefully: "Is the earl very low? He Zhang Dingbian doesn't have much credit!"
Zhang Bixian stared at him coldly: "Brother Dingbian's contribution is at least more than the four of you losers combined!"
"You fart!"
Zhang Bixian said coldly: "Oh? What achievements have you made? Did you give your brother a bed of gold and jade? Or helped him collect countless beauties from the south of the Yangtze River?"
Chen Youren was immediately speechless.
Zhang Bixian continued: "Chen Youliang is finished, and you, the Five Kings, will never become a true king. I am going to discuss the alliance with Zuo Junbi, and I have no time to talk nonsense with you. When your brother dies, I will send you to see him
Him!"
After saying that, he stood up and when he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped again.
"By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you. I announced that I would join the rebellion with you, and I also found someone who looked very similar to you and made him the king. When Chen Youliang found out, he killed your wife and children.
Got it!"
Chen Youren was so angry that he couldn't speak, and said in a trembling voice: "Why...why do you do this?"
Zhang Bixian said calmly: "You don't have to think too much, I have no intention of targeting you. It's just that your brother is not dead yet, and I don't want to betray the general's name, so I have to let you take the blame!"

Chen Youren was so angry that he trembled all over: "Zhang Bixian, fuck your ancestor!"
On the sixth day when Jiangdu's army attacked Wuchang, the city gate was finally breached.
Zhu Yuanzhang led the army into the city and fought with the defenders in the streets.
The Han army had long lost its fighting spirit, collapsed in the first battle, and retreated towards the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Yang Sanqiang were standing on the street, directing the battle.
The Jiangdu army was strictly prohibited from disturbing the people. After entering the city, the sergeants only focused on attacking the Han army and no one disturbed the people. Therefore, although the streets were in a mess, no corpses of the people could be seen.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, and his army always prohibited disturbing the people, but sometimes he could not restrain his soldiers.
Seeing this scene now, I feel very happy and admired.
"General Yang, you go and attack the palace, and I'll go and take down the other city gates. What do you think?" he suggested.
Yang Sanqiang smiled and said: "This battle depends entirely on your command, so that we can capture Wuchang. I am not so shameless to take the last big credit!"
After speaking, he turned to the generals and said: "General Han, you lead two thousand people to attack the east gate. General Sun, you lead two thousand people to attack the west gate. I will lead two thousand people to attack the south gate! General Li, you lead two thousand people to capture
Han army officials!"
He turned around again and said with a smile: "General Zhu, I will leave the palace to you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped pushing and said, "That's fine. After you take down the three gates, come to the palace and join me!"
Imperial Palace, Dayi Hall.
Chen Youliang sat blankly on the dragon chair, and he was the only one left in the vast hall.
He still vaguely remembered that when he first ascended the throne, he was so high-spirited and excited as he looked at the ministers worshiping below.
In an instant, all this will be lost.
He suddenly thought of Xu Shouhui.
Did the emperor who was beaten to death by his own hands feel the same as he does now before he died?
Xu Shouhui's face when he died became more and more clear in his mind, and it seemed that he was still laughing at Chen Youliang, mocking him for putting in all his efforts but ending up like him.
Suddenly, Xu Shouhui's expression changed, he stared at Chen Youliang with his teeth bared and roared, as if he wanted to kill him!
Chen Youliang's eyes were sharp, he pulled out the long sword from his waist and slashed at Xu Shouhui's phantom!
"Ah!"
A scream sounded.
Chen Youliang came to his senses and realized that the person he had stabbed was a chamberlain.
Chen Youliang panted heavily, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and slowly returned to the dragon chair and sat down.
