Chapter 416 There is not much time left in late autumn now, and the chill and desolation of the approaching winter are mixed with the gentle breeze at night, adding a bit of sadness.
In the northern city, the people took to the streets and walked happily, and the Xining army, which had returned from the victory, was singing happily in the military camp, each sharing this victory that was difficult but had an extremely simple ending.
He Hu was seriously injured and stayed in the northern city for medical treatment.
After the fire explosion in the valley, He Qili made an agreement with Emperor Zhengcang to deliver a letter of surrender to Xining in three days, and claimed that as long as He Qili lives, he will definitely not return to Xining again.
Raise troops to invade.
At that time, Emperor Zhengcang and Xining were all thinking deeply, so they didn't say much when they saw this.
However, the whole city was celebrating, but not a single sound of celebration could be heard in the Dubei General's Mansion.
That night, the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion was exceptionally brightly lit and extremely quiet.
Except for Zuo Yuanfeng, who was in the same room with Emperor Zhengcang, everyone who returned from the valley went back to their rooms one by one and stayed locked up, not even having dinner.
But they all coincidentally lit up all the candles in the room.
At this moment, or this night, everyone seems to want to spend this long night with the heroic soul of the young man who is most afraid of loneliness in his life.
In the study room of the General's Mansion.
"I didn't expect that it was Deng Si'er who could escape safely from the cave."
Zuo Yuanfeng listened quietly to Emperor Zhengcang slowly narrating all the things that happened in the grotto.
Even though Emperor Zhengcang had a calm expression and a calm tone when he spoke, every time he reached a key place and every sudden moment, When Zuo Yuanfeng heard the change, he seemed to be able to picture everything Emperor Zhengcang said in his mind.
Emperor Zhengcang nodded slightly when he heard this.
He recalled the scene at the critical moment when Deng Si'er threw Chu Qingyang, who was holding a ignited fire thunder, into the stone door regardless of his own safety.
He couldn't help but slowly said : "Just after Wang Ziming injured He Hu, Chu Qingyang actually took advantage of Deng Si'er, Zuo Chi and the shadow master of the shadow sect to go to Wang Ziming, and wanted to die with me, even though he was attacked by Nie Taoist priest, Mr.
Mo and Zuo Chi and their Blocked them, but Chu Qingyang did not hesitate to spend his whole life to repel all four of them.
Looking at Chu Qingyang's protective attitude, I thought he would be able to turn around.
However, I never expected that even if I knew everything at the beginning , Chu Qingyang is still " Speaking of this, Emperor Zhengcang remembered the instructions the Empress Dowager gave him when he left the capital before his personal expedition.
But now, let alone bringing back Chu Qingyang, Lian Deng Si'er, the only bloodline of his best friend, They were all buried together in that deep valley cave, and even the corpses were nowhere to be found.
"By the way, General, what's the situation in the capital now?"
Emperor Zhengcang took a deep breath, thinking that the top priority was that the turmoil far away in the capital had not been completely quelled.
Emperor Zhengcang couldn't help but shook his head, turned around and said to Zuo Yuanfeng.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Yuanfeng immediately took out a letter that had already been opened and read from his arms, handed it to Emperor Zhengcang and said: "Your Majesty, this is a secret letter from the capital that was sent before dawn today.
The letter was written by Wu Jue himself.
All the situations in the capital and the palace have been clearly written in this letter."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhengcang frowned slightly and asked in confusion as he took the letter: "Wu Jue is the person invited by Zuo Chi to help his mother and guard the palace together.
I guess since Zuo Chi personally invited him, he must be trustworthy and must have something special about him."
Zuo Yuanfeng nodded and said: "Yes, Wu Jue is actually the second son of the Wu family in Jiangbei, a well-known martial arts family.
He has always been the most compatible with Deng Si'er, and has a good relationship with Chi'er and Yao'er.
The emperor doesn't know something, Jiangbei The Wu family has many shops in the capital, but they are all managed by the second son Wu Jue.
Although he does not usually do anything special, all the shops of the Wu family in the capital of Jiangbei are well run and have a good reputation.
Very good, because Wu Jue is a young junior, he does not appear frivolous or restless at all.
Not only that, Wu Jue's father, Wu Baichuan, was not only a close friend of Deng Si'er's master, Mr.
Mo Lidao Mo, but also had a relationship with Jingwangdian at that time.
I am also a good friend.
Wu Jue has the true knowledge of Wu Baichuan in Kung Fu, and he is very active and alert.
At this time, it is safest for Wu Jue to stay in the capital if he can move privately without being noticed. " Emperor Zhengcang had already read Wu Jue's letter when he heard Zuo Yuanfeng talking about Wu Jue.
The letter did not contain much content, but it was able to describe the situation in the capital in detail in just a few words.
The order and regulations are clear, and it is obvious that he must be an extraordinary person.
So Emperor Zhengcang nodded and said: "If this person didn't have his own uniqueness, a person as high-minded as your son wouldn't choose him to stay in the capital just in case."
Zuo Yuanfeng heard this and said: "Your Majesty, when this letter was delivered to Wei Chen, Wei Chen had already read it.
According to what Wu Jue said in the letter, the capital and the palace are now under the control of Concubine Song.

There are actually half of the patrol camps in the capital.
Generals and Royal Guardsmen in the Palace The leader turned to the side of Concubine Song.
It can be seen that the Eighth Prince usually behaves in a low-key manner and never competes with others.
There are many small tricks in the secret.
Unfortunately, what we found out was too late.
It was actually given by the Eighth Prince's appearance.
Got through it."
Emperor Zhengcang snorted heavily when he heard this, thinking that Concubine Song was the culprit who single-handedly put his best brother, the third prince, Chu Jing, the Yue King, into death sixteen years ago.
In addition, Deng Si'er sacrificed his life to protect her.
All of them escaped from the grotto safely, and they couldn't help but feel a little more cruel towards Concubine Song.
Just listen to Emperor Zhengcang say: "To think that Concubine Song was able to endure it for so many years after I ascended the throne is a testament to the depth of her city.
Concubine Song has a strong character.
I think the Eighth Prince must have followed his mother's wishes since he was a child.
I think at that time I issued an order to summon Song Yuqiu to return to the capital for trial. , Song Guifei decided However, he was worried that Song Yuqiu would tell the inside story, so he set up a killer ambush in the woods outside the capital.
They were a mother and son in a nest of snakes and rats, and their methods were even more insidious.
After all these years, they were still thinking about the supreme dragon chair. , It’s really a delusion.”
"But now, Concubine Song has controlled most of the palace.
Because the Empress Dowager chants sutras and worships Buddha in her bedroom all the year round and never interferes with the government affairs, Concubine Song does not dare to face the accusations of many clan members and rashly I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long if this continues."
Emperor Zhengcang couldn't help but his face darkened when he heard this.
The war between the Xining and Hui Qiang armies had just ended.
Even if they returned to the capital immediately and worked hard, it would still take more than five days.
What's more, those who returned to Qiang would have to submit a letter of surrender three days later.
When Emperor Zhengcang thought about this, he really didn't have a definite feasible solution, so he couldn't help but pace back and forth.
But I heard Zuo Yuanfeng say: "Your Majesty, from what I've seen, Xu Shichier may have a solution, but Deng Si'er just died, so he's afraid":
