Chapter 106
Chapter 106
"Madam! This way!" There was an eunuch waiting at the corner.
These eunuchs are all "boy favorites" given to Mrs. Hou by the left disciple Zhao Mu, but now they are the only strength that Mrs. Hou can rely on.
The eunuch led the way ahead, he shrank his neck and spread his arms to cover Mrs. Zhao.
The monarchy changed hands, and there was no mutiny in the palace.
However, at this time when the monarch returned to the country, everyone in the palace was in danger.
There are palace people coming and going everywhere, their footsteps are in a hurry, and the clan and nobles also leave the palace through the front door.
No one knows where Zhao Mu is at this time, but everyone knows that Zhao Mu must fight the final battle, otherwise, once Zhao Hou returns to the throne, he will never survive, even if his family is full, no one will be able to survive. May survive.
"Ma'am, Ma'am, go forward, there is someone waiting in front of you." The eunuch said as he walked to the door, bowing his head.
As soon as Mrs. Hou stepped forward, she found that the eunuch was hiding a child in a corner.
The child was wearing a girl's clothes, his face was smeared with black dust, and he couldn't tell the difference between male and female.
"Mother." Xiao'er stretched out his hand quickly after seeing Mrs. Hou.
Mrs. Hou bent down to pick up the child
Madam Hou looked at him, and she asked, "Where are you going?"
The eunuch did not speak, and Madam Hou also knew that the eunuch must stay, otherwise the mother and son would never be able to escape.
Mrs. Hou hurriedly saluted, and said firmly: "When I see my husband, I will look for Yang's children in the future, so as to wipe away the bad name for Yang."
The eunuch bowed deeply: "My lady is righteous, and she will accomplish what ordinary people can't do!"
Mrs. Zhao took the child, walked through the door, and continued to run forward.
"Ma'am! Ma'am, get into the carriage!" Although the armored soldier didn't recognize Madam Hou, he recognized Madam Hou's attire. A group of more than ten armored soldiers surrounded the carriage.
Madam Hou carried the child into the carriage first, and then climbed up by herself.
She pushed the child into the carriage, pulled the cotton cloth around it, and got in.
"Let's go! Go!" Madam Hou shouted out as soon as she sat down firmly.
The armored soldier shouted loudly, "Sit tight, madam!"
go out!Leave the palace and they are safe!
As long as she sees her husband, she is safe!
"There is someone blocking the car ahead!" The soldier on the horse shouted to Madam Hou who was inside the car.
Madam Hou gritted her teeth and shouted: "Get out! Under Zhao Mu's seat, you are no more than a man of armor! As long as you leave the palace, you will be a righteous man. Not only will you be rewarded with a hundred gold coins, but you will also be honored by high officials!" "
The soldiers were still a little hesitant. They only helped out after receiving money from the eunuch, and they didn't think about fighting with their lives.
At this moment, the child in Mrs. Hou's arms stood up. His voice was immature, but very clear: "Chen Rui, the crown prince of the Chen Kingdom, is here! If you are willing to help, Rui will never forget this kind of great kindness. See you soon." Father-in-law, you must repay your deep kindness!"
The soldiers looked at each other.
The leader Shi Chang hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Madam and Prince, sit still, there are many people coming, we will escort Madam and Prince out of the palace with our lives!"
"rush!"
·
Chen Yan and the enemy general were still fighting, and Ye Zhou could straighten his waist to watch at first, but gradually he couldn't bear it anymore, and there was a human cushion behind him, which was still his friend, so He shamefully leaned into Zou Ming's arms.
Maybe it's because Ye Zhou learned fighting skills, focusing on melee combat and sneak attack, so he doesn't understand this kind of cold weapon duel on horseback. He can only see who has the upper hand.
Chen Yan turned out to be the one who lost the wind.
Ye Zhou frowned and asked Zou Ming, "Chen Yan can't beat this person?"
Is Chen Yan too weak, or is this person too strong?
Zou Ming explained: "Chen Yan is too dogmatic. He has practiced every move for a long time, and he has practiced it perfectly, but the opponent will not use the moves like he learned."
Ye Zhou nodded slightly: "He's going to lose."
If he loses, Chen Hou will lose face.
General Chen Guo was defeated by a general promoted by the rebels. This shame may even become a national humiliation.
This wasn't just Chen Yan's win or loss.
"Do you want to intervene?" Zou Ming lowered his head and asked Ye Zhou softly.
Ye Zhou shook his head slightly: "This is their business. If he decides to fight alone with the opponent, then they will also bear the consequences of losing."
At this time, all the people in Linzi city were shutting their doors, and they didn't even dare to open the windows to have a look.
Apart from the soldiers, the only people watching the battle were Ye Zhou and the others.
Chen Yan's head was covered with sweat, his hands were still strong, and the long dagger in his hand was still pointing at the opponent's face, but he knew that he was going to lose.
He didn't know where the opponent would attack in the next moment, whether it was up or down?Is it left or right?
But he can't lose, he doesn't represent himself, but Chen Hou.
He lost, not because of his failure, but because of smearing Chen Hou's face.
"Chen Yan! If you don't want to die, get off your horse and kowtow three times to me, and I'll let you go!" The enemy general laughed and said, "Your Majesty, this is your general! A trash who is also worthy of the country. Entrust?! If he can't do it, I can do it, and I should be General Chen Guo!"
The enemy general raised the spear in his hand and rushed towards Chen Yan.
With the next blow, he would definitely be able to knock Chen Yan off his horse, even if Chen Yan wanted to admit defeat.
Chen Yan's personal soldiers shouted: "General! General!"
Chen Hou also clenched his hands into fists, and looked ahead without blinking.
He could also tell that Chen Yan was no match for the other party, but he still had some hope.
What if... what if? !What if Chen Yan wins? !
However, when the enemy's general stabbed the long Ge in his hand, everyone knew that there was nothing wrong with it.
Chen Yan couldn't defend against this blow at all.
Chen Hou closed his eyes.
Just at this moment——
"Your Majesty!" A woman's call came from the air, the voice was high and sharp, followed by a childish cry, "Father Jun!"
Chen Hou suddenly opened his eyes and looked to the left.
It was a dilapidated carriage, which had gone through some kind of crisis, the body was covered with arrows, the soldier who carried the horse was hit by two arrows, and the body was covered with dried blood.
"Ma'am!" Chen Hou wished he could gallop away at this moment.
But he can't.
His general is still here to fight against the enemy's general. As a prince, he cannot leave at this time.
Mrs. Hou saw clearly what was happening in the direction where Chen Hou was. She was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, and endured the pain and shouted: "Chen Shou! How dare you stop Your Majesty!"
The enemy general Chen Shou looked at Mrs. Hou because of this cry.
Chen Yan seized the opportunity and loosened the long dagger in his hand, hitting Chen Shou's left waist.
Although he lacked skills, he had enough strength. Chen Shou was caught off guard and was knocked off the horse just like that.
Although the soldiers knew that their own general was taking advantage of the danger just now, but this is not the time to speak morally. They escorted the king back to the country, and the second is an act of justice. .
So they opened their eyes and shouted blindly: "The general is mighty!"
"The general is mighty!"
Chen Yan also felt ashamed, he didn't even dare to look down at Chen Shou who fell under the horse, and only asked: "Since you lost, you should keep your promise and let us go."
"Chen Yan, don't you feel ashamed?" Chen Shou didn't look like a defeated general at all. He raised his head and said without fear, "You are not worthy to compare with me! You can be this great general, but the king is stupid , I appointed you just because I have a good relationship with you! I, Chen Shou, don't bother to be loyal to such a king!"
Chen Shou: "I'm different from you. I'm not the one who breaks my promise. Since I lost, I won't stop you."
Chen Shou looked at Chen Hou again, the clan brother whom he had placed high hopes on.
"My lord, take care!" Chen Shou clasped his fists.
While thinking about his wife and children, Chen Hou had to talk to Chen Shou: "Why can't my brother abandon his prejudice and serve me together with Brother Yan? Can't Chen Guo have two generals?!"
Chen Shou: "No need to say too much, since I lost, I will never appear in front of others."
After speaking, Chen Shou got on his horse again, stopped looking at anyone, and rode away alone.
Ye Zhou was dumbfounded. He looked at Chen Shou's back, and asked Zou Ming incomprehensibly, "He's leaving now? No one stopped him? The king's cousin became the general of the rebels, and he can still go smoothly." leave?"
Ye Zhou understands the truth, benevolence, plus he is from his own family, so what if he doesn't let him go?
But he still finds it unbelievable.
After Chen Hou made sure that Chen Shou had left, he immediately rode his horse towards the direction of the carriage.
The carriage stopped in the middle of the passers-by, and the armored soldier who had been hit by a few arrows was already dead.
Mrs. Hou was walking on the road with her son. She was shot by an arrow in the shoulder, but she couldn't pull it out. She endured the pain until she saw her husband running towards her. Mrs. Hou lowered her head and shouted to her son, "Go, go find the arrow." Your lord father."
The prince looked up at his mother, he shook his head: "No, I will follow mother."
Madam Hou smiled: "Good boy."
Her son is more like her than Chen Hou.
"Madam!" Chen Hou got off his horse halfway, and ran towards his wife and children on his legs. He saw the scissors on Madam Hou's shoulders, his eyes turned red instantly, and he cried blood, "Madam!"
Mrs. Hou threw herself into her husband's arms, but she didn't cry or complain, but calmly said indifferently: "Zuo Tu is still in the palace, he will never open the palace gate, some eunuchs sent me When they left the palace, they left a gate at the south gate, and if your majesty enters through the south gate, he will surely kill Zuo disciple by surprise."
"Ma'am, your injury..." Chen Hou looked at the arrow on Madam Hou's shoulder.
Madam Hou gritted her teeth and shook her head: "It's nothing, but those eunuchs, and these soldiers who escorted us out..."
"Ten soldiers..." Mrs. Hou's voice choked up slightly, "Your Majesty, don't delay the opportunity!"
With Mrs. Hou like this, it is impossible to enter the palace with them. Chen Hou can only say to Mrs. Hou: "Madam, wait a moment, I will go find a doctor."
He is afraid that the arrows are poisonous.
It's not poison like snake venom, but the arrowheads often have copper rust, if it enters the human body, even if it doesn't kill people, it will still cause people to suffer for a long time.
The only doctor Chen Hou can think of now is Zhou Yuanhe.
And in his impression, this was the only person who could keep his wife from being tortured.
He doesn't mind that Zhou Yuanhe is a man, and nowadays there is no defense against men and women. Although some aristocratic families allow their children to remain chaste before they get married, it is a virtue. No.
In this era of declining monarchy, although the country is poor, the people are free.
Women who have given birth to children are more popular in the marriage and love market than unmarried girls, and it doesn't matter for girls to have one or more relationships before marriage, or even have a child before marriage. On the contrary, if a girl gives birth to a child, the child's biological father If she couldn't afford to support the mother and child, the man who married her would still accept the child.
What they inherit is not the blood, but the surname. As long as the surname is given to the child, then the child is a member of the family and must serve the family.
And in this way, this child who is not of his own blood will be more loyal to the family after learning of his life experience.
But there are also men who are unwilling to accept their wives giving birth before marriage, but this is also easy to solve, as long as the children are sent away.
Keep it in your wife's natal home, or give it to someone else, it doesn't matter.
Aristocratic women have fewer restrictions, they can afford to raise children as well as lovers, so almost all the princesses of Chen Guo and the sisters of Chen Hou have four or five lovers.
Only Chen Hou is a clean stream. Although he is the king of a country, he has only one wife.
It's not because of how deep his affection for his wife is, after all, he didn't meet each other very much before marriage, but because Mrs. Hou's mother clan is the largest clan in the country of Chen except for her husband.
The Zhang family controlled 36 cities in Chen State, while Mrs. Hou's mother family, the Jiang family, controlled 58 cities in Chen State.
Although these cities are not big, if you master four or five big cities, you can already look down on all the families.
Chen Hou married Mrs. Hou to add weight to himself, not to mention that Mrs. Hou is a smart person. After they get married, they are not like husband and wife, but more like partners.
Chen Hou called Xiaobing and asked Zhou Yuanhe to come over.
Seeing Zhou Yuanhe approaching, Chen Houcai saluted Zhou Yuanhe and said, "Madam will take care of you."
Zhou Yuanhe walked up to Mrs. Hou, and Mrs. Hou looked at the young man in a daze - he was tall, thin, with a bad complexion, and looked more like a patient than a doctor, and his clothes...
Short hair, tops with arms exposed, trousers with legs exposed, how strange it looks.
But the fabrics of the clothes and trousers are excellent, and the stitches are fine and smooth, unlike people who can't afford fabrics.
Zhou Yuanhe took a closer look and said to Chen Hou: "It's nothing serious, it just needs to be raised for a while."
Chen Hou breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Mrs. Hou, "My brother Yan and I will enter the palace, and you will take Rui'er to rest here."
Time was running out, and he didn't have much time to explain his recent experience to Madam, so he could only leave a soldier to guard Madam Hou, and let the other party answer Madam Hou's questions.
Chen Hou entered the palace, but Ye Zhou did not go in with him.
Now that the biggest obstacle has been cleared, if Chen Hou is able to rebel against the government, then he should not be the monarch, and it would be better to change his career as soon as possible.
The soldiers brought by Chen Shou rebelled on the spot after the general left, and were collected by Chen Yan into their soldiers, and they rushed to the south gate together.
Ye Zhou was amazed and shocked by the flexibility of the soldiers.
The arrow on Mrs. Hou's shoulder has not been taken off yet, so Zhou Yuanhe can only go to Ye Zhou to ask for a tent. After all, the houses of the surrounding people are probably not as clean as the tents.
Ye Zhou gave him the tent, and asked a little strangely, "Why are you always so sad?"
Zhou Yuanhe sighed: "I'm so busy."
Ye Zhou: "...Although you are a little busier than the previous planes, you don't go to work every day."
Zhou Yuanhe sighed again: "I came here because I don't have to work every day, otherwise I would just stay where I am."
"You should also be a doctor on the original plane?" Ye Zhou asked.
Zhou Yuanhe nodded, sighed and said: "I work overtime every day, and when I meet the family members of patients who make troubles, I have to go to the doctor. What happened to my brain before I learned medicine? I just want to find a stable job to hang around."
Ye Zhou: "You really worked hard."
Zhou Yuanhe nodded repeatedly, feeling that he had really worked hard.
Ye Zhou: "..."
Although Zhou Yuanhe is very reluctant to work, but fortunately he does not shirk when there is work, and there is no dereliction of duty. If you want to complain, let him complain. As a boss, you still have to be patient.
·
Madam Hou was holding the child. She had never seen these people in front of her. The clothes of these people were very strange. They didn't look like people from the Chen country, or even from any country she knew. different.
But she was not too worried. She knew in her heart that her husband would not give her to someone he could not trust.
Especially with their only son in her arms.
Over the years, Mrs. Hou only had one son with Chen Hou. She once had another child, but the child died before her first birthday.
Now that she and Chen Hou are getting older, it seems that there will be no second child, so they protect this child like an eyeball.
"Ma'am, don't panic." The remaining soldiers said to Madam Hou in a low voice, "The one riding on the horse is the emperor's immortal. Immortals have great supernatural powers. With the help of immortals, both madam and the emperor can turn evil into danger." lucky."
Mrs. Hou hadn't said anything yet, but the crown prince became interested. He asked the soldier in his mother's arms, "Soldier? Is it the Luoshui fairy that the emperor met?"
The soldiers quickly said: "The fairy you met is a man."
The prince nodded: "Mother, I'm going to thank the immortal."
Mrs. Hou looked at the soldiers, who whispered, "The prince is young and smart, and he is sincerely grateful. Presumably the immortals will also love the prince."
Madam Hou nodded, she stood up slowly, and led the child to the "immortal"'s horse. She looked up at the young man, but she couldn't tell that he was an immortal.
This man has no beard and is very handsome, but he doesn't have the aura of a fairy. He doesn't look like a fairy, but like a romantic son from an aristocratic family.
Madam Hou bent slightly: "Immortal..."
The prince raised his head and said loudly: "Immortal, I am the crown prince of Chen Guo. The immortal helped my father return to the country. It is a great kindness and great virtue. Rui will never forget it!"
Ye Zhou looked at the little one who raised his head to thank him, and suddenly became interested in this child.
Judging by the child's appearance, it is estimated that he is less than five years old, but his speech does not seem to be taught by an adult.
So Ye Zhou got off his horse and said to Mrs. Chen Hou first, "Madam, you don't need to be polite, get up."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the prince, and asked with a smile, "Is the prince afraid?"
Chen Rui shook his head: "I'm not afraid, mother and Jun father both said that I am the future king of Chen Kingdom, so I can't be afraid."
He has a babyish voice, but he speaks in a very orderly manner, and there is no confusion in his eyes. Either he knows the meaning of this sentence, or he has already engraved this sentence into his immature bone marrow.
Ye Zhou smiled and said, "How was the prince's life in the palace before?"
Chen Rui: "The disciple Zuo locked me in the palace and drove away the maids and nurses who had been serving me. Except for those eunuchs I have never met before, no one else was allowed to come to see me, let alone my mother."
Ye Zhou squatted down slowly, his eyes were usually Chen Rui: "The prince is not afraid?"
Chen Rui shook his head: "Not afraid."
Ye Zhou couldn't hold back, reached out and rubbed Chen Rui's head, and said softly, "The prince is a good boy, and he will definitely make a difference in the future."
Such a child, as long as he doesn't raise him crookedly, should be more suitable to be a monarch than Chen Hou.
The premise is that he can live to that time.
Chen Rui suddenly asked: "Immortal, are you here to assist my father-in-law?"
Ye Zhou: "No."
Chen Rui tilted his head slightly, as if he was thinking, but he quickly said, "Will the immortal help me?"
Madam Hou frowned and scolded: "Ruier!"
Ye Zhou smiled and said, "Ma'am, don't get angry. It's not a bad thing for a child to be wise early."
"That depends on whether you can be a good monarch in the future."
Chen Rui nodded slightly: "Then my Junfu, is he a good monarch?"
Madam Hou wanted to cover her son's mouth.
Ye Zhou looked into Chen Rui's eyes, not wanting to hurt his father's image in the child's eyes, so he paused for a moment and said, "Your father-in-law is a good man."
Chen Rui let out an "oh" and said calmly, "They all said that."
Ye Zhou asked curiously, "What kind of person does the prince want to be in the future?"
Chen Rui: "I want to be a person like Marquis Wu, who can expand the territory and strengthen the country, expand the soil and strengthen the country, and if the country is strong, the people will be safe."
Mrs. Hou's face was pale, she didn't know whether it was from the pain of the wound or from being frightened by her son.
Ye Zhou laughed out loud, "Good boy."
Mrs. Hou said in a low voice, "Your nonsense, don't blame the gods."
Ye Zhou waved his hand: "Ma'am, you are joking, sometimes children have more righteous ideas than adults."
Chen Hou ruled the country with benevolence and became a weak king, but he gave birth to a son who already showed the appearance of a tiger at a young age.
If Chen Guo can persist until this child grows up, maybe...
The boy, young as he was, already knew that the truth was within the range of the cannon.
Ye Zhou said to Madam Hou, "Madam has raised the child very well."
Parents are always a child's first teacher. Chen Hou is not the kind of monarch who advocates force, so the one who teaches the prince should be this Mrs. Hou.
Madam Hou smiled with difficulty.
Ye Zhou shouted at Zhou Yuanhe: "Is the tent set up?"
Zhou Yuanhe: "It's ready, Mrs. Hou, come here, I will draw the arrow for you and treat the wound."
Mrs. Hou was about to take the child away, but the crown prince saluted Ye Zhou respectfully, and then said, "Immortal, I am a son of man, and I have to accompany my mother to heal her wounds first. After my mother's injuries are cured, I will come to see the immortal."
Ye Zhou smiled softly and said, "Go."
After watching Mrs. Hou and the prince enter the tent, Ye Zhou said to Zou Ming, "We came early."
"If this child is Chen Hou, maybe we can earn a lot of money."
Maybe this child will be the greatest achievement of Chen Hou's life.
