I rely on the collapse of people to set my life in the hands of the male protagonist

Chapter 258

"We're under surveillance. There's something wrong outside. I suspect that something happened to His Highness. Yuechen, what should we do?"

In the camp, the spies sent by the two disappeared. The original plan was to use Zhao Cheng to rebel, and when Chu Lishu sent someone to send a message, they would then enter King Jingqin to help Chu Lishu stabilize the situation.But now not only is there no news coming out, there are even a lot of eyeliners outside to monitor their team.

Such an unknown feeling makes people anxious.

Yue Chen thought for a while, and said, "I'll go and check it out myself, you stay here."

Huo Luo just wanted to say it was too dangerous, but after thinking about it, he is a general, so he can't leave the army, he can only go through Yuechen, Huo Luo gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you pay attention to safety, I will send my cronies to escort you."

The two were about to act when an imperial decree came from outside. It was said to be an imperial decree, but it was actually issued jointly by Concubine Xu, the temporary regent, and the queen mother.

The two knelt down to receive the decree, feeling turbulent in their hearts, how could it be those two who made the decree jointly?

The purpose is even more shocking.

Why did Tianheng Kingdom choose such a time to launch a sudden attack? This may be a surprise attack without warning, otherwise it is impossible for Qi Ci to see no signs at all.

The imperial decree required them to lead troops to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and said that after the imperial court reorganization was completed in the near future, the newly appointed Marshal Zhao Cheng would go to help reorganize the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The two had just turned around from the news of the Tianheng Kingdom's invasion when they were shocked to hear that Zhao Cheng, who was supposed to be used, took the position of supreme commander of the three armies.

The two of them could no longer imagine what happened in the capital.

And just after the imperial decree was announced, Xu Wenze appeared. He originally wanted to prevent Concubine Xu from harming Chu Lishu, but he heard that all the people sent by Concubine Xu were wiped out. up.

Xu Wenze was too late to be happy, so he was sent by Concubine Xu to make an order together. He knew what Concubine Xu meant. After all, he was a family friend. Concubine Xu still felt that his presence would calm the other party's emotions and let them understand the current situation and not mess around.Xu Wenze felt that he no longer had the face to face his old friend.

Until Xu Wenze finished talking about everything, there was a deathly silence in the camp. Huo Luo stood up in an instant, and grabbed Xu Wenze's neck at once.

"Seeking the throne, communicating with foreign enemies! And taking our family as hostages? Your father and sister are doing this kind of thing, how about you... Can we trust you?" Huo Luo sternly asked.

Shocked by what happened in the capital, the faces of the two of them completely changed, and they also understood that Chu Lishu's plan had failed, and now his life and death were uncertain, Lin Qingyang was still imprisoned in the capital, and their forces in the capital were monitoring, controlling and controlling , kill the kill.

It was almost a defeat across the board.

Wei Guogong, their elder, Xu Lanxin, strictly speaking, is their childhood sweetheart, an ordinary nobleman, and a gentle and virtuous woman.

Never expected that the poisonous snake was beside them.And they were the most familiar with this family, but they didn't take precautions for His Highness... It was their fault.

Xu Wenze didn't struggle, but looked at the two with a remorseful expression, "If I knew everything earlier, I would definitely find a way to stop them."

He can accept the intrigue of his family members in order to fight for favor and heir, and is even willing to help his family members find a place in the harem.

But now what Wei Guogong's mansion has done has made him unable to face it.

But...he was helpless, after all, those two were his family members.

"That's enough, Huo Luo." Yue Chen said in a deep voice, "It's no use blaming Wen Ze. Let him go."

When Huo Luo let go of Xu Wenze, his arms were still trembling slightly. He naturally knew that Xu Wenze was to blame, but he couldn't vent his anger. If it was Concubine Xu standing in front of him now, he would break her neck without hesitation.

"For the throne? Just for the throne, so ruthless, the child in her stomach hasn't been born yet!" Huo Luo roared with his eyes red with anger.

"In her eyes, aren't we also for the throne?" Yue Chen mocked.

"We are different, we are..." Huo Luo gritted his teeth fiercely, but couldn't say it out.

They are for what should belong to that person, for the light and justice in their hearts.

Yue Chen's voice was cold, "Since we already know that the Tianheng Kingdom's attack is just to help Concubine Xu, why should we waste our energy and go here? Can Concubine Xu do anything to us?"

Xu Wenze didn't dare to face Yuechen's gaze, "She said, Yusuoxi just gave some help when she was interested, they are not in a cooperative relationship, so who knows if Yusuoxi will take advantage of the internal turmoil in the next moment, really Attack, when the time comes, it will be..."

Another three cities?

Yue Chen had to admit that he had misjudged Pin Xu, and he really admired her when it came to psychological warfare.

So many people's lives are on the gambling table, and they can't do it if they don't retreat, and taking their family members hostage, this completely kills their idea of ​​rebellion.

Yuechen thought for a while, "It's okay to let us go, we want to take Lin Qingyang away. Everything has failed, and our family has also been held hostage. We can't turn the sky around, so it's useless to leave him alone."

Xu Wenze could only shake his head when he heard this, "I don't know why my sister is so wary of Li Shu, but since Li Shu has already escaped, my sister will not let Qingyang leave. Qingyang, like your family, has been taken away. Entered the palace. And...Qing Yang didn't know why he said he couldn't leave the capital. At that time... when Mu Huichun left, he actually had a chance to take the risk, but he didn't...Maybe he had other plans. And The palace is now heavily guarded, even if Brother Huo wants to sneak in to save people, it is impossible. You may not believe what I said, but I really don't want you to take unnecessary risks. "

Xu Wenze finished what he had to say, and he didn't have the face to stay. Before leaving, he still said: "I don't know what to do to change the status quo, but I will do my best to protect other people."

When Xu Wenze left, the two were silent for a long time, digesting the crushing emotions.

Finally, Yuechen said first: "It's okay, Concubine Xu won't touch Lin Qingyang, Chu Lishu was rescued, as long as they're all right, everything can be redeemed, His Highness came over so hard before, this time he That's fine, not to mention that Lin Qingyang is still here, he won't let himself fail."

"Yes! Your Highness will not lose, and you will never lose! I believe in Your Highness. Let's wait for His Highness to come back." Huo Luo immediately said with hope.

"Huo Luo, let's go to Tongjiaguan."

"Really... fight for her?" Huo Luo was unwilling, really unwilling, but Da Zhou's safety could not be gambled casually.

"Someone is watching us, we can't stay still, not to mention this is His Highness's country, we protect the border and protect Da Zhou until His Highness returns, and there are Qi Ci and Ning Ziheng at the border, they don't know anything yet, Meet with them first before discussing, and if His Highness is okay, he should come to the border to find everyone. In addition, Huo Luo, I will take people away halfway and return to the capital. I am worried about the situation in the capital, and His Highness may also Come back directly, we will keep in touch, you have to be careful." Yuechen said decisively.

Huo Luo stared blankly at Yue Chen for a while, but he did not object to the plan after all. "The next time you come back, His Highness should be back to normal. If you show them His Highness, you don't know how much you can mock him."

"If they do this, the imperial court will not be stable." Yue Chen murmured, "Is Xu Lanxin this kind of person? Is the throne really that important to them? They don't even know the heavy responsibility on it." .”

"I just know that Xu Lanxin is not the one we used to know at all."

Yue Chen was taken aback suddenly, "No... You may not have noticed it when you were young, and I almost forgot that when she was very young, Xu Lanxin was not the gentle and weak lady, when she was young, she was obviously competitive and intelligent. Extraordinary, resolute and determined, later... I thought that the girl had changed after growing up, but I didn't expect that she hadn't changed at all, this is the real her, but I actually forgot, when did she start hiding?"

"Really? I only remember one thing, she wasn't so cruel before."

After all, I played together when I was a child, and the impression is still there.

Xu Lanxin has done things like drawing swords to help when the road is injustice.Although it was Huo Luo who came forward to fight in the end, but being able to play with Yue Chen and Huo Luo at that time, he must be able to pass the test in terms of xinxing.

But why did it become like this?

On the same day, Huo's army set off again for Tongjia Pass. Ten days later, Yuechen returned halfway and found Chief Hai outside the city. It took another half a month to sneak back into the capital and hide in Cao's home. With Cao's help, Yue Chen already fully understood the current situation.

At this time, the court has entered a rather strange period of stability.

The most absurd succession in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty appeared, Xu Concubine became the Queen Mother Xu, and the Queen Mother became the Empress Dowager.

The five-month-old child in Concubine Xu's stomach succeeded to the throne and became the emperor.

For such absurdity, the court only made trouble two or three times, and it tended to be quiet under the lesson of blood.Some disobedient ministers and their family members were also kept in the palace as hostages, and they were not released until they succumbed to the Empress Dowager Xu's behind-the-scenes listening to the government.

Supported by the Empress Dowager, the new prime minister, Duke Wei, will be the regent, and Marshal Zhao will escort them, so everyone can only follow the crowd.

However, the interior of the capital was stable, but the states below all became selfish. For a while, rebels made trouble, the surrounding small countries harassed, and the clan refused to accept it, which made Dazhou very turbulent.Only Tianheng Kingdom remained quiet, maybe it didn't want to move at all, or it might be because of Huo Luo's soldiers pressing down on the border.It can also be regarded as a chance for the mutated Da Zhou to catch his breath.

Xu Lanxin has skills and ability. When she was barely maintaining stability, she was constantly eradicating hidden dangers. Those hidden dangers were actually dealt with after Chu Lishu originally decided to ascend the throne. This shows that Xu Lanxin still has foresight.

But Xu Lanxin was pregnant, so she was still too busy, so she made an exception and allowed two young men to enter the cabinet to help discuss politics.

It was Xu Wenze and Lin Qingyang.

Therefore, those who originally followed Chu Lishu were quite suspicious of Lin Qingyang. They didn't know whether he was staying behind as a meticulous worker, or if he was sincerely helping others to govern the country. After all, everyone could see that Queen Mother Xu and Xu Wenze treated Lin Qingyang Qingyang took good care of him, but at the same time he was blatantly chasing Chu Lishu, and the arrest warrants were issued all over Dazhou.He directly labeled Chu Lishu a traitor, but Lin Qingyang was really doing his best to help with government affairs, and he still lived in the palace all the time.

It is rumored that Lin Qingyang has broken sleeves, so naturally he would not rely on Empress Dowager Xu, but many people suspect that his relationship with Xu Wenze is unclear. After all, the rumors that Lin Qingyang pursued Xu Wenze were known by the entire Imperial Academy .

"Heh... Maybe it's because of the favor of Empress Dowager Xu's younger brother, or else..."

Just when he came down to court, a minister was taunting, when he was suddenly bumped into by a guard.

The guard was young and gave him a cold look. The minister was about to scold someone, but he saw the guard stop in front of Lin Qingyang, and he came to give someone an umbrella.

Lin Qingyang came out, saw the person coming, smiled and said: "Why did you come out, didn't you let you recover from your injuries?"

"It's just exercise, let's go." Lu Shi said with a straight face.

"Aren't you going to find Huo Xiaomei when you move your tibia? She is bored." Lin Qingyang said slowly, but still said: "I won't go back, I have to go to the imperial study."

Lv Shi clicked his tongue, "Why are you working so hard? Do you know what others say about you? You...just wait." Although he said so, he obediently held up an umbrella for Lin Qingyang.

Lin Qingyang smiled, reached out and unconsciously touched the kit at his waist, there was a cylindrical thing in it.

"I'm fine, don't listen to gossip."

After being brought into the palace that day, Lin Qingyang completely gave up resistance and was directly imprisoned in the Cultural Museum. Soon after, Xu Wenze brought Lu Shi who had just been treated. Lin Qingyang was so pleasantly surprised that he wished to take care of him himself.Soon Lu Shi was able to move, knowing the situation outside, he was very angry, Lin Qingyang wanted to send Lu Shi out, but Lu Shi firmly stayed by Lin Qingyang's side.

He said: "Since I know that the master is fine, I won't leave. The master is the most worried about you, so I can't let you alone in the wolf's den. Protecting you is more important than going to the master."

With Xu Wenze's help, Lu Shi finally succeeded in becoming Lin Qingyang's personal bodyguard. Xu Lanxin also turned a blind eye to this, and would not embarrass them too much.

Lin Qingyang had to say that with Lu Shi by his side, his almost lifeless heart came alive, and he was motivated to do everything.

At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil, and Xu Lanxin was short of manpower, so she came to ask him to help. After all, although Lin Qingyang was not as dazzling as Chu Lishu, he was already a good hand in handling government affairs. I laughed angrily, and said to myself that if I don't stab you to death myself, I am afraid that your shadow guard will get rid of you first, why do you still want him to help?

But not long after, he figured it out. The future of the Great Zhou Dynasty was written by Chu Lishu. If it was riddled with holes, wouldn't it be harming Chu Lishu? Moreover, if he was close to the center of power and knew more about it, It can also help in dealing with it in the future.

Lv Shi said to let him wait for Chu Lishu to save him, don't wrong yourself.But he always felt guilty about the past, and wanted to do more, even if it could clear up some obstacles for Chu Lishu's future. Thinking of this, Lin Qingyang joined the cabinet and helped with Xu Wenze.At the same time he was doing another thing.

When he came to the imperial study room, Xu Wenze was already on business. During this time, Xu Wenze could not smile at Lin Qingyang, but he had no smile at all with his family. Apart from being diligent in dealing with political affairs, his mood was depressed Lin Qingyang and Lu Shi couldn't bear to blame Xu Wenze, who looked so depressed and thinner day by day, but Xu Wenze would blame himself.

"I thought you were coming back after lunch."

"Didn't you eat it too? I plan to go back to rest after finishing it. I don't want to see Queen Mother Xu."

Lv Shi stayed outside, Lin Qingyang rolled up his sleeves and got ready to work.

"Are you going to write that all night again tonight?"

"It didn't last all night, writing that...can help me meditate." Lin Qingyang said with a smile.

"Your hand...why is it red? I saw it when I went to court before. Are you injured?" Xu Wenze asked concerned when he saw his red palm showing his pen.

Lin Qingyang froze for a moment, his face a little uncomfortable, "Oh, I've reached the red mark." The redness on the palm of his hand is the residue after the red mud mark was wiped off.

Every day, he couldn't help stamping himself. Seeing the words 'Prince Yuan Ran' in his palm, he felt that there was hope for a new day.

It's just that it can't be discovered by others, so it will be erased after it is covered.

Just as Lin Qingyang took his seat, Xu Wenze suddenly came over and said, "I just heard that the people sent by my sister have been wiped out again. Li Shu should be safe."

Lin Qingyang paused, "Thank you."

The system did not show the recovery progress, Chu Lishu may not have woken up, or may not have a new plan, so Lin Qingyang is not sure, so he can only wait, but Xu Lanxin sent so many people to stop him , Chu Lishu should be protected by an expert.

The two people inside were talking while dealing with matters. Not long after, Lu Shi outside the door coughed to remind someone that someone was coming, and the two stopped talking.

Lin Qingyang tidied up and got up to leave.

At the door, Lu Shi looked coldly at the people passing by.

Walking to the door, I happened to meet Lin Qingyang who came out from inside.

Lin Qingyang was sullen and didn't salute. He just stepped back and made way, waiting for them to come in before leaving by himself.

Xu Lanxin didn't care about Lv Shi, but just glanced at Lin Qingyang, but the man with the severed hand behind Xu Lanxin looked at Lv Shi habitually, as if he seemed familiar.

Outsiders said that Lin Qingyang and Xu Wenze were the right-hand men of the Empress Dowager Xu. In fact, the people who really dealt with important matters were the Xie family members who had never shown up and had no identity, Xie Yiqing.

Xie Yiqing, Lin Qingyang used to only know that he was the only blood of the Xie family and the boss of Jinfenglou, and his business ability was similar to that of Cousin Liu.

But I didn't expect that other aspects were also quite powerful. From Lin Qingyang's point of view, Xie Yiqing's ability was on par with Yuechen's.If it wasn't for the sinners who couldn't enter the court, they probably would have had a successful official career long ago.

What's even more strange is his relationship with Xu Lanxin. Although he is five years older, he was engaged to Xu Lanxin when he was a child, but the marriage was called off when Xu Lanxin was 13 years old, and then something happened to Xie's family.

This time, I heard that Xu Lanxin got the support by using Xie Yiqing to threaten the queen mother, so she broke Xie Yiqing's hand, but at this moment, Xie Yiqing was willing to help govern the government. Originally, Xu Wenze and Lin Qingyang thought that there was love between them, But it doesn't seem to be the case.

But Lin Qingyang learned that when Xu Lanxin imprisoned Xie Yiqing, he would tell him about the affairs of the court, and the person who let Xu Lanxin know that Chu Lishu was very important was Xie Yiqing. A prisoner also helped analyze the situation, It's really puzzling.

Don't look at Xie Yiqing's freedom of movement now, but it seems that he has been fed the poison that needs to be taken on a regular basis, so he and the queen mother are still coerced.

Lin Qingyang was about to go out, but Xu Lanxin suddenly called to stop him.

"You have been writing an injustice recently, wanting to rectify the name of Prince Yuan Ran?"
