After dressing as a sick and weak villain

Chapter 53

"Jiang Yanchi...has succeeded to the throne?" Zhao Lingqu's voice suddenly became low, and he rode his horse closer and lowered his voice, "How did he succeed? Why didn't there be any news in the capital before..."

"This... this, Taifu Su said that there is something strange about this matter. It was the little prince who controlled the imperial army and closed the city gate. The news can't be sent out at all..." The attendant explained anxiously, "This incident also came suddenly The Tai Tuo didn't expect it at the time. Xu Changling was obviously the deputy commander of the imperial army, but he was a fool. Only when the city of Shangjing is under my control can I dare to..."

Zhao Ling and Qu Heng met with cold eyebrows, glanced across the deep forest, and approached Chu Xie: "The snipe and clam fight for the fisherman's profit, but Jiang Yanchi got lucky again. Xu Yi was in the gutter this time. The ship capsizes, the Son of Heaven ascends the throne and can transfer the soldiers of the princes and counties next to the imperial city, and the Xu family is finished."

"Yes, I heard that Jiang Yanchi has killed Xu Chengjin in front of the battle. Now Xu Yi has been besieged by the four counties and is about to be escorted to Beijing."

Chu Xie heard the footsteps getting closer.

"It's okay, I'll kill the eunuch Chu Xie first."

He felt Xu Chunmu's figure behind him become alert, let go of his hand covering his mouth, and grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Chu Xie froze for a moment, why did he want to kill himself.

Isn't it Xu Chunmu?

At this moment, I heard the attendant say: "The Tai Tuo said that Chu Xie cannot be killed."

"The little emperor is currently searching for this person in Puyang, Huaiqi, and Xiping counties. If we find that he died in our hands, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the little emperor and set him on fire..."

"Su Ming'an is timid in everything he does. He has learned how to play tricks from these Wei people. This man is right in front of his eyes but he can't kill him. He has probably become suspicious of me. If he turns back and asks him to go back to Shangjing, I will be burned too. " Zhao Lingqu lowered his voice a little, the sky was getting darker and darker, but he couldn't tell if Chu Xie was still hiding in the forest.

"Teacher Su wants you not to worry."

After the man whispered another sentence in his ear, Zhao Lingqu laughed softly, "I see. The little emperor has such thoughts about eunuchs. That's really ridiculous. I just saw it. Chu Xie is with another man."

"So, my lord, self-preservation is the first priority. The emperor is suspicious, desperate to survive, and doesn't trust anyone at all. Once he ascends to the throne with the help of Chu Xie, the two will have conflicting interests and cannot be reconciled." The people who followed lowered their voices, "Mrs. Su Fu Du found out clearly. This Chu Xie has a very close relationship with Xu Chunmu. This is not the first time they have fled privately... Now that the Xu family is defeated, Chu Xie will definitely be dealt with together. Not long ago, Xu Chunmu also planned Chu Xie Feign death and bring him back to the north..."

It turned out to be the case.

Chu Xie and Xu Chunmu, Shen Qi'an's son, and Xu Yi's grandson, turned out to be in a like-minded relationship.

This is too funny.

Back then Shen Qi'an died because of Xu Yi's betrayal, but Chu Xie fell in love with Xu Chunmu, and even eloped twice in a row.

"The little emperor is young and vigorous. This time Chu Xie made it clear that he wanted to escape privately with Xu Chunmu, and joined forces with the Xu family to slap the little emperor. Jiang Yanchi is now looking for him all over the city, because he mistakenly thought that he died in Puyang County Xu Yi's hands. Your Excellency killing him at this time is not worth the gain, and offends the new emperor. Think about it carefully, my lord, that little emperor is so sensitive, sooner or later he will find out the truth, and Chu Xie will be executed with the Xu family sooner or later. Why do you bother? Taking action at this time will arouse the emperor's fear."

Zhao Lingqu sneered.

When Shen Qi'an attacked the Yueshi royal city, he pitted and killed 15 Yueshi soldiers and horses, leading to endless killings in the city.Teach his family to be ruined.

"No one from the Shen family can live. Sooner or later, I will take Chu Xie's life."

Riding the horse turned around and walked back along the official road.

Hearing the sound of the horse's hooves drifting away, Chu Xie couldn't hear a few words clearly. After asking Xu Chunmu, he said, "His Royal Highness has succeeded to the throne. I...my father..."

Xu Chunmu's eyes turned red: "My father, because he led his troops to leave the fief privately, was beheaded before the battle... Your Royal Highness, how could you be so cruel... Now that the new emperor is on the throne, my elder brother Xu Changling is still in Shangjing, he... ..."

"No, I have to go back to the capital!"

Ancestor, how can you go back to the capital at this time!

Chu Xie sensed the seriousness of the matter from just these few words, and immediately held Xu Chunmu down, "Listen to me. If I were Jiang Yanchi, who barely ascended the throne and was surrounded by powerful enemies, I would know Jiang Jing well." To be imprisoned in your Xu family, plus your father leading troops to the south, is an unforgivable felony. Killing one as an example to deter the court. The king of Yubei is a coward, and he will definitely testify for Jiang Yanchi. You will only add more things when you go back now. A dead soul!"

"But, but my grandfather, my brother...they..."

Chu Xie held Xu Chunmu tightly: "Don't go back, I don't care if they live or die, but Xu Chunmu, you can't die!"

He seemed to have just regained some consciousness, tried his best to suppress the moisture in his eyes, and held Chu Xie's hand comfortingly: "You...go to the southwest first, I...I will go back to the capital to take care of my brother and grandpa's affairs , go find..."

"Xu Chunmu!"

Chu Xie withdrew his hand extremely corruptly, "What can you do if you go to the capital? What can you say, that your Xu family didn't rebel? That Jiang Jingfan was not killed by Xu Yi, but by me? Or should I question Jiang Jing?" Did Yan Chi kill his father to ascend the throne and tell the whole world that his throne is not in the right path...Xu Chunmu, it won't help if you go back to the imperial city! You can't save them, it's Xu Yi who wants to rebel, and he's to blame for this result, He should have been damned!"

Xu Chunmu's expression changed suddenly.

"Do you want me to watch them die! They are my family, do you want me to do nothing and watch them die!"

Chu Xie's back stiffened, and he let go of his hand suddenly.

This was the first time that Xu Chunmu got so angry at him.

"Chu Xie, how can you speak so lightly...Have you ever saved anyone? Have you ever had anyone else in your heart besides yourself."

"It doesn't matter if everyone is dead, as long as you live, isn't it?"

Chu Xie's hands trembled slowly.

No, it's not.

"Chu Xie, just like I did everything possible to save you. My grandfather, my brother, they are my relatives. If they can't be saved, I have to save them! It doesn't matter if you don't understand, but you can't say in front of me that they are damn it!"

"My grandpa was good to me, and to me he didn't give a damn."

Chu Xie lowered his head slowly.

I also have people who must be protected.Xu Chunmu, if you die in Shangjing, my sister will die.

I am now protecting my only family member.

Chu Xie only had a momentary mood swing, but soon calmed down again.Holding Xu Chunmu's hand with a desperate mood: "Don't you like me? I beg you now, go live in seclusion with me. We will never have anything to do with going to the capital again in this life, okay?"

But in a few days, the person who begged to live in seclusion turned out to be Chu Xie, it was just the turn of feng shui.

Xu Chunmu was stunned, a struggle flashed in his eyes, and then he remained silent for a long time.

"sorry."

"..."

got rejected.

Why is Xu Chunmu such an awkward person?Chu Xie suddenly became angry again.

You have to do all the thankless things, right?

"Okay, I can't stop you. Since we want to go back, let's go back to the capital together."

Chu Xie said like breaking a jar.

"Axie, you don't have to—"

"What's the use!"

Chu Xie was furious at the moment, and Xu Chunmu's casual words could arouse overwhelming anger, "I don't care what you want to do, anyway, I won't let you die anyway! Xu Chunmu, no matter whether I can save you when I go back this time Family, in a word, you can’t die, you can’t die! Save your life for me, don’t do anything, the more desperate you are, the more you will go up!”

Xu Chunmu was overwhelmed by these bombarding words, and he didn't speak for a while.

"Have you heard that? Let's go back and try it out. The little emperor can keep one of them if he can listen to the advice. If he can't listen to it, he will die. People are alive, and they should obey God's will. Xu Chunmu, you can't die anyway. Even if I die, you can't lose your life!"

Chu Xie was out of breath, and kicked away the dead branches and weeds next to him.

Xu Chunmu behind him suppressed his sadness, and his eyes became more gentle.

"Well, Ah Xie. I promise you, I will not die. I also believe that His Majesty is not a heartless and heartless king. I have made up my mind, and I will ask for orders to push the Northern Huns out of the Western Region with 30 soldiers and horses. Sin. I just ask him to spare a few lives of our Xu family, even if power is taken away..."

Mention Jiang Yanchi.

Chu Xie felt some strange feelings again.

If he returns to the capital this time, how will he face that bastard.

Is it possible that you really want to marry him.

***

Shangjing.

Zhao prison.

Xu Yi was escorted to Beijing, and as soon as he was pushed into Zhao Prison, he saw that the new emperor had been waiting there for a long time.Seeing Jiang Yanchi dressed in black ink and golden cloud totem brocade robe, Xu Yi seemed to go back many years ago, standing in the moonlight on the city wall and looking at the young and energetic Emperor Xuanhe.

"His Majesty."

Xu Yi bent his knees, dragged the iron chain on his wrist and folded his hands in a salute, politely saluted.

"Marquis Xu." Jiang Yanchi didn't have a smile in his eyes, "The Xu family's prosperity for decades started and was destroyed by your hands. Are you deeply moved now that you are a prisoner?"

"Everything is fate." Xu Yi shouted, "It is God's will to defeat me."

"It's not God's will, it's me—" Xindi's shoes moved forward, touching his knees, "I want you to lose."

"When did Your Highness let Zhou Wen raise the Changling Mausoleum... the authority of the imperial army is the last barrier in the imperial city, and you use it to kill the king? Isn't it ridiculous?" There was a faint smell of rust in the air, Xu Yi knew that his life was in danger, "Jiang Yanchi, you have too much hostility in your heart, and you haven't received much education since you were a child. When a person like you becomes emperor, the world will definitely suffer..."

"You can never be a wise king."

A knife as thin as a cicada's wing was pressed against Xu Yi's heart.

Jiang Yanchi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Whether you suffer or not, Master Xu will not be able to see it."

"Where is Chu Xie?"

The blade pierced a little, cut through the prison uniform, and a little bit of blood oozes out.

"Did you kill him?" The tone was very quiet, with some inaudible tremors.

"Is this the only thing His Majesty wants to ask me now? Why didn't Your Majesty ask why I rebelled against you? Why didn't you ask me—"

The sword did not enter.Deviated by half a point, it didn't penetrate the heart, but cut the flesh on the side of the waist.

Xu Yi was used to the wounds caused by swords, guns and halberds on the battlefield, but at this moment he was still straight, and he only grunted and covered the wound on his side.

"What I'm asking is, where is Chu Xie?" Jiang Yanchi lowered his sleeves and clenched the short dagger tightly with his backhand.

Blood dripped from the dagger and melted into the blackened stone crevices.

The fire on the wall swayed, and the prison was flickering.

Xu Yi raised his head and saw Jiang Yanchi's dark and piercing eyes.

This time, the blade touched his neck, and only a little force could completely cut his throat.

"He's a treacherous sycophant who controls the government." Xu Yi seemed to be desperate, "Your Majesty has not long been enthroned, and he is anxious to find such a treacherous villain all over the world. If he really comes back in the future, won't my great Wei——"

"Where is he?" The blade cut a little bit of flesh, "I save your life just to ask this question. Besides, I don't want to hear a word."

"Then His Majesty will kill the minister directly, why bother to listen to this sentence."

Jiang Yanchi kicked Xu Yi's chest, stepped on the wound on his side and said every word: "If you are not dead, I will kill you alone. If you are dead, you will be punished."

"Chu Xie, are you alive or not?"
