In an ordinary residential house outside the palace, Duanmu Shi was walking back and forth anxiously.
Hei Yan looked at the uneasy Duanmu Shi and frowned, “Don’t worry, Mo Heng will definitely bring him back safely.”
Duanmushi sniffed and nodded lightly.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Jun Wu Xie said in a loud voice, “We’re back.”
Hearing the sound Duanmu Shi and Hei Yan looked at the door at the same time and walked out together.
Seeing Duanmu Xie, Jun Wu Xie immediately invited credit, “Cousin Xie’er, I saved them both back.”
Xuanyuan Mo and Chen’er, who were walking behind Jun Wu Xie, sniffed and two black lines fell on their foreheads at the same time, when did they need him to save them?
Duanmu Shi looked at Xuanyuan Mo and Chen’er behind Jun Wu Xie and frowned, “Where is your mother? Didn’t you save her?”
Chen’er’s eyes dimmed at her words, then she raised her eyes to look at Duanmu Shi and said, “She’s safe now, so I think it’s better to let her stay in the palace for the time being, as well as to avoid alerting the snakes.”
Duanmu Shi nodded at his words and said, “Then your mother’s illness is fine, right?”
Chen’er sniffed and shook her head, “She’s fine, she probably fainted because she was overly sad when she heard that I died, and she’s already woken up now.”
Xuanyuan Mo glanced at the not-so-high courtyard walls on both sides and frowned, “Let’s go in and talk about it.”
The crowd nodded at the words and went inside together.
Chen’er looked around the empty house frowning, “Where’s Xiao Wu?”
Duanmu Shi said, “I just drank the medicine and fell asleep.”
Morn nodded at her words.
Several people sat down at the table together, and Duanmu Shi poured a cup of tea for everyone.
“What’s the situation out there now?”
Xuanyuan Mo sniffed and frowned, “Zhuge Weiming is holding the dynasty, Xiahou Xun is stupid, Xuanwu is about to be in chaos.”
The people were all staring at the words.
Seeing the silence of the crowd, Xuanyuan Mo added, “I’ve already received news from Royal Maple, Lian Zhengyu and the others still have seven, eight days before they can arrive.”
Duanmu Shi heard can not help but frown, “seven, eight days, time is afraid to be too late.” Now Chen’er’s “death” has been rumored, Zhuge Weiming and that Xiahou Xun will certainly have some action in the near future, if you can’t catch up in the Xuanwu chaos to stop them, the people of Xuanwu can be a disaster.
What Duanmu Shi thought of, the others thought of as well, all frowning tightly and hanging their eyes.
After a moment of silence, Xuanyuan Mo suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Chen’er and said, “Can you analyze Xuanwu Kingdom’s military strength for us?”
Chen’er nodded her head with a stony face as she sniffed, “At first, Father …” Chen’er paused as she spoke, a flash of pain and desolation flashing through her eyes.
Sitting beside Chen’er, Duanmu Shi felt the change in Chen’er’s breath and furrowed her brows furiously, what happened to Chen’er, why does it seem strange.
Fear of being seen by Duanmu Shi what, Chen Er immediately convergence of their own emotions continued, “Father’s deathbed, sealed the two major princes, Regent King Zhuge Weiming and Zhao Wang Xiahou Xun, the two men at the same time under the command of two hundred thousand soldiers, can be said to be evenly matched, in addition to the two of them, General Lian Taichu, that is, Lian Zhengyu’s father, but also has one hundred thousand soldiers.”
Xuanyuan Mo frowned at the words, “That’s only half a million, Xuanwu’s troop strength should be more than that.” The strength of the four countries was equal, even if Xuanwu was the weakest of the four countries, it was not as if it only had half a million soldiers.
Chen’er’s eyes flickered lightly as she sniffed, pulling down a black rope from her neck, a black finger ring hanging from the black rope, “This was also given to me by my father on his deathbed, he said that as long as I take this and go to the Xuan character blacksmith store on the east street of the Imperial City to find a man named Xuan Chi, he would give me 200,000 troops and horses, this Xuan Chi is the Xuan Wei leader, I even saw him when my father was alive. ”
Duanmu Shi sniffed with a look of emotion and touched Chen’er’s head and said, “Your father was a marvelous man.” To be able to arrange so much for her three year old child on his deathbed, that cousin uncle of hers was indeed a man of character, it was a pity that he died young.
Xuanyuan Mo heard the dark eyes flashed, indeed, whether as an emperor or father, Xiahou Chen is qualified, he is afraid that he has long anticipated the situation today, will deliberately hold out Zhuge Weiming, Xiahou Xun, such as an equal rivalry rivalry, only the balance of military power forces, Xiahou Chen, this three year old doll can grow up peacefully in the cracks.
Chen’er’s eyes turned dark again at the words, Father, the one who was like a god in his heart, once he wanted to be his proudest child, wanted to become the best emperor for him, it turned out that from beginning to end, he didn’t have this qualification.
Sensing that Chen’er’s mood was off, Xuanyuan Mo immediately changed the topic and said, “Chen’er, we’ll go to the Eastern Street of the Imperial City tomorrow to look for Xuan Chi.” Xuanwu was about to be in chaos, they had to plan early just in case.
Chen’er gently nodded at his words, even if his surname wasn’t Xiahou, he would still guard the Xiahou family’s kingdom for his father.
Back in the room, Duanmu Shi directly pulled Xuanyuan Mo and said, “Did something happen in the palace today? How come I see Chen’er strange.”
Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes flickered lightly when he heard this, and he directly wrapped his arms around Duanmu Shi and said, “Nothing happened.”
Duanmu Shi raised his eyebrows at his words and said, “Really?”
“Really.” Not a ripple could be heard in the calm voice.
Xuanyuan Mo reached out and gently caressed Duanmu Shi’s towering stomach, “How is it, are you very tired?”
Duanmushi sniffed and gently shook her head, “No, they’re very well behaved.”
Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes flashed with a touch of soft light as he heard this, hooking his lips, “Let’s have a girl doll, and match it to Chen’er in the future.”
Duanmu Shi sniffed and glared at Xuanyuan Mo with a pout, “What nonsense, you forget that Chen’er and I are related by blood, speaking of which Chen’er is still the babies’ uncle, this is all different from the generation!” She also likes Chen’er very much, but this is not a joke, in modern times, within three generations of collateral blood relatives are forbidden to marry.
Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes flashed with a secretive and dark light when he heard this, perhaps in the future, he and Chen’er could really become father and son.
Early in the morning of the following day, there were two small and large upright figures in the endless stream of people on the East Street of the Imperial City.
Xuanyuan Mo and Chen’er changed into ordinary clothes and disguised themselves, mixing with the crowd, if they didn’t pay attention to the aura of the two men, it was just like an ordinary pair of father and son, unobtrusive.
Only after walking to the end of the east street did the two of them see a blacksmith store with the word “Xuan”, the two of them looked at each other and walked in together.
Blacksmith store is very simple, and ordinary blacksmith store, the house is in the middle of the big furnace is “sizzling” fire, the big fireplace is sitting next to a young man is constantly pulling the bellows, the bellows above there is a strong man is constantly swinging the hammer to hit the iron.
Seeing the two men come in, the ironworker immediately stopped his work and welcomed them, “What do you two want to play?”
Xuanyuan Mo glanced faintly at the ironworker master, finally stopping at the pair of official boots, his eyes flickering lightly, “We’re looking for Xuan Chi.”
That iron master’s eyes quickly flashed with a flash of brilliance when he heard the words, and then his gaze turned to Chen’er on the side. Looking at that familiar brow, a flash of excitement instantly flashed through the iron smith master’s dark eyes, bowing slightly to the two of them, “Two of you, please follow me, the person you’re looking for is inside.” The iron smith master said as he turned around and led Xuanyuan Mo and Chen’er into the inner room.
The young man sitting by the fireplace saw several people enter the inner room and immediately got up and closed the store door.
The iron master led Xuanyuan Mo and Chen’er into a secret room, as soon as they entered the secret room, the iron master knelt down towards Chen’er, “My subordinates see you, Your Majesty.”
Seeing this, Chen’er immediately raised her hand to support her in vain, “Uncle Xuanchi doesn’t need to be polite.”
Xuan Chi got up as instructed and looked at Chen’er with a flattered face and said, “Your Majesty still remembers subordinates.”
Chen’er hooked her lips as she sniffed, “Of course, back then, Uncle Xuanchi was the most capable secret guard under Father.”
Hearing Chen’er mention the late emperor, a flash of gloom flashed across Xuan Chi’s eyes.
Looking at Xuan Chi’s despondent eyes, a touch of sadness also crossed under Chen’er’s eyes, “Uncle Xuan Chi, you should have heard about Xuan Wu’s recent situation.”
Xuan Chi sniffed and looked back at Chen’er, “I heard a little bit, the outside world rumors that you, Your Majesty … Fortunately you are fine.” When he first heard the news that the little emperor princely, he was not convinced, these days he has also been waiting for him, if he does not show up again, he is going to bring troops to find him.
Chen’er’s eyes flickered lightly as she sniffed and frowned, “Now that Zhuge Weiming and Xiahou Xun are both stupid, Uncle Xuanchi should know the purpose of my coming here.”
Xuan Chi nodded at his words and said, “I understand, I don’t know if His Majesty has brought a token.”
Chen’er sniffed and reached out to remove the black iron ring from her neck, handing it to Xuan Chi.
Seeing the black iron ring, Xuan Chi once again knelt down and respectfully said, “But at your Majesty’s disposal.”
Chen’er gently sighed in relief at these words and put away the black iron ring, “Where are those 200,000 soldiers and horses now?”
Xuan Chi immediately bowed at his words and said, “They’re on Tiger Wei Mountain, which is more than a hundred miles away from here, my subordinate will take you there now.”
Chen’er’s eyes flickered lightly at the words, Huwei Mountain that is a famous bandit nest ah, Zhuge Weiming sent a lot of officials and soldiers, several sieges are a defeat, I did not expect that they would hide there. This Tiger Wei Mountain’s reputation is also afraid that they themselves spread out to deter the people nearby.
It didn’t take long for a nondescript wagon to wobble in the backyard of the blacksmith store towards Huwei Mountain.
Two days later, Xuanwu was in chaos.
The rumor that Regent Zhuge Weiming had killed the young emperor spread throughout Xuanwu, and everyone cursed Zhuge Weiming for being a wolf with a heart of gold, and for avenging the death of his enemies.
Zhaowang Xiahou Xun also raised the banner of clearing Zhuge Weiming and avenging the little emperor in this piece of shouting and cursing, which instantly won the unanimous praise of the people of Xuanwu, and even some hot-blooded young people voluntarily joined Xiahou Xun’s camp to crusade against Zhuge Weiming.
I have to say that the means of King Zhao is really very clever, this time to raise troops to rise up not only will not be deducted the hat of plotting dynasty usurpation, but got a hero title, even the Xuanwu country Lian general Lian Taichu heard Zhuge Weiming killed the rumors of the little emperor, have joined the camp of Xiahou Xun.
