Chapter three hundred and twenty first temptation
In the Ming army camp outside Duobang City, horns sounded before dawn. Zhang Fu's vanguard army set out early and began to march eastward. Because Zhang Fu received a report last night, Zhu Gaoxu led the cavalry to Shenglong!
Zhang Fu originally thought that Zhu Gaoxu had given him the great contribution of capturing the Eastern Capital, but unexpectedly, the cavalry of the King of Han ran faster than anyone else. Shenglong City is now empty, and it is not difficult to be defeated. Zhang Fu was naturally very anxious and sent orders twice in succession, urging the vanguard to speed up the marching.
The King of Han said nothing? Zhang Fu looked at the military order carefully and found that the order in the letter was just asking Zhang Fu to lead troops into Shenglong, but he did not say that only Zhang Fu's troops could go to Shenglong...
Zhang Fu was full of anger. He had known that the King of Han was cunning, but now he has seen it!
Shortly after the sun rose, a scout came forward to report: "The cavalry brigade of the Han King army captured a village more than ten miles southwest of Shenglong yesterday evening. The troops were stationed there and remained in control! At the end of the day, the manor was the property of the powerful Lili, Qinghua."
Zhang Fu suddenly felt something strange, and the Han Wangjun suddenly rushed towards Shenglong. If it was to attack, why did he stop moving?
He suddenly remembered that a general questioned the traitor of the King of Han yesterday. When he remembered that, Zhang Fu patted his horse and asked someone to call the general over to ask questions.
Soon, General Cai Fu rushed to Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu immediately asked, "I heard that someone under General Cai's command yesterday caught the King of Han's spy and interrogated him. What did the spy come from the east?
Cai Fu thought a little, then clasped his fists and replied, "Reply to the Grand Commander, the two traitors were indeed the King of Han, one of them was a guardian of the King of Han. They were sent by the King of Han to sneak into Shenglong and investigate the whereabouts of the former Annan Kingdom. When they learned that the king of Han was surrounded by the manor in Lili, they rushed back to report. At that time, the messenger of the Grand Commander's Central Army was going to the Han King's Army camp, and the last general sent someone to escort the traitors to the west."
When Zhang Fu heard this, he immediately came to his senses: It turned out that the King of Han was in a hurry and led the cavalry to the manor near Shenglong, but to find Queen Annan!
He thought again: If the King of Han was trying to attack Duobangcheng, why did he not follow Shenglong afterwards? He actually dispatched the camp of Xishan...
Zhang Fu's face immediately felt hot, and he couldn't speak for a while. A strange feeling surged into his heart.
A general around him asked, "Master, do we still have to hurry to Shenglong City?"
Zhang Fu's face turned redder, and his thoughts seemed to have been seen by others! Zhang Fu had no choice but to look as if nothing had happened and said seriously: "The army will take advantage of the victory to capture Shenglong, and we will not miss the opportunity to fight!"
...In the Li Family Manor, Zhu Gaoxu stood on the gatehouse, wearing only a piece of armor and a lock vest. He had no intention of leading his troops out.
The sun was hanging in the sky, the air was moist and the dew was not dry, and today was a sunny day. When the Ming army rushed into the manor yesterday, it was getting late, and everyone had no time to clean up the messy battlefield, and people were cleaning up this morning.
Zhu Gaoxu found Chen Xingwang's body on this gatehouse early in the morning. The body was obviously lying here for the whole night and ignored it. He couldn't help but stand in front of the body for a while.
When he was in a foreign land, he saw an acquaintance thrown away and the body was left, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help feeling a little for a moment.
When everyone came to this place, they were always facing the risks of language disorders, dangerous enemy troops, and various diseases. Some were climbing up for military merit, some dared not to disobey, and some were unable to give up their lives due to their unsavory feelings and nostalgia...
Suddenly, Zhu Gaoxu felt a little confused.
At this moment, he saw a white dress. Queen Chen was standing on a stone path downstairs and looking at him from a distance.
Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and said to the people around him: "I found a place to bury it."
The guard replied, "Get orders!"
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu saw something in Chen Xingwang's clothes again, so he bent down and turned it over. It turned out to be a bamboo flute with a pendant, so he picked it up. He quickly walked down the gatehouse and walked towards Queen Chen.
Chen changed into a clean plain robe. The Annan people's clothing is very similar to Hanfu, but it seems that the dress is narrower. The clothes are cut closer to the body, so her delicate and plump breasts, graceful and slender waist, and the tempting outline of her hips are all visible. Although Chen had given birth to a baby, her figure is still so slender and beautiful.
Her skin is as beautiful as jade, and her appearance is beautiful. When she walks a little, her waist is slightly twisted and her movement is even more charming. Even Zhu Gaoxu was very moved when he saw it. No wonder Chen Xingwang was fascinated by the queen in front of him.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu discovered that Chen looked strange and was observing the flute in his hand.
He broke the silence, raised the things in his hand, and said calmly: "Chen Xingwang's wife is a famous actress in Kunming City. I know her. She took a relic and took it back to leave a memory for his wife."
Chen whispered: "His Royal Highness of Han is really interested."
Zhu Gaoxu said again: "There is a living room over there, let's talk in the room."
Chen nodded and said, "Please, Your Highness."
Chen's body was slightly behind Zhu Gaoxu. After the two of them walked silently for a while, she said, "Chen Xingwang has kindness to me. When he was killed by Li Li yesterday, he also wanted to help me. But after I returned to my room, I thought the King of Han would come to discuss matters, so I waited in the yard. There was no familiar person around me, so I didn't have the opportunity to care about Chen Xingwang's body."
Is she defending herself? Zhu Gaoxu felt it was a bit redundant. As the queen, Chen was unlikely to care much about a Caomin.
She ignored Chen Xingwang for a few years and only took the initiative to chat and make friends when she needed Chen Xingwang. When Zhu Gaoxu heard about this, he had already guessed what was going on.
"Well..." Zhu Gaoxu made a habitual voice, not wanting to say more about it. Then he said casually, "It was dark last night. I thought there was so much inconvenience at night, so I didn't bother the Queen."
When Chen heard this, he looked slightly and looked up at Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu noticed her gaze and turned his head to look. His eyes swept down from her thin shoulders, and he felt that her side chest was higher. This queen could make people feel turbulent from time to time, but Zhu Gaoxu was still calm about beauty... He was unwilling to act rashly for a moment of impulse and ruin big things.
Zhu Gaoxu needs this queen and her son very much, which is very important for stabilizing the overall situation of Annan!
As the two of them just met, the woman was inevitably wary of the people she had just met. If Zhu Gaoxu was anxious at this time, it would be easy for the woman to feel insecure, which would be quite unwise. Once the queen distrusts him, wouldn’t he be willing to support the Chen family’s mother and son’s calculations?
Zhu Gaoxu treated this queen who seemed to be at the mercy of the fields very carefully because she had more important value than beauty.
After the two of them sat on the east side of the coffee table in the living room, Zhu Gaoxu showed his kindness cautiously. He pretended to be gentle and said, "I met the queen for the first time last night, but I always felt like I was like an old friend coming." When I spoke, I felt like I met her again, and it seemed like I had seen her for a long time."
The queen's reaction was very peaceful, she smiled and said, "It turns out that the King of Han also feels this way."
She was very welcoming, after all, she was like fish now, and her son was still in the hands of Zhu Gaoxu. No matter whether she wanted to or not, she should not dare to offend Zhu Gaoxu. Perhaps, the two of them were just testing each other's true attitude.
"Before this, I have heard of many things about the Queen. Because of this, you and I have to know each other." Zhu Gaoxu smiled. His expression was not obscene, and he couldn't help but look at the queen's waist. A woman with good figure is most likely to make Zhu Gaoxu lose her restraint when sitting down. Her plump hips will appear wrinkled and folded, which is very beautiful, and her posture is more upright and dignified.
Chen just responded to Zhu Gaoxu with a smile, but his smile was not completely rejected, and his bright eyes were still looking at Zhu Gaoxu with a little smile. The clear eyes made Zhu Gaoxu feel a little embarrassed, as if he had seen through his mind.
Fortunately, Chen did not say it out loud, and she asked softly: "The King of Han seems to have something to worry about this morning. What are you worried about?"
Since the Ming Dynasty, he has been very thoughtful and can't help but think too much. He just stayed on the gatehouse for a while and seemed to be seeing that Chen was worried.
Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, and then said with sincerity: "This year, many of us came to Annan Kingdom, and many of us died. Every time we fight, there are corpses everywhere. I suddenly felt that people are actually very likely to die..."
Chen listened carefully and nodded slightly.
Zhu Gaoxu frowned slightly and said, "As soon as a person dies, what is the use of things outside the body? In this case, why do people in the world want to be greedy and fish in the dry pond? For the sake of all the benefits, many people eat and eat meat completely ignore the lives and deaths of others, but how much does it mean to do this?"
Chen thought for a while and said kindly: "The King of Han must not be that kind of person."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "So I am thinking that there should be nothing wrong with my arguments about Annan. Sometimes we don't have to just focus on our own benefits. It may be more meaningful to give in to others.
When I think of the dying and desperate soldiers of the wounded barracks, I feel even more that the right way to reduce pain and suffering is to end the Annan War as soon as possible and avoid more conflicts!"
Chen immediately asked, "What is the Han King's claim?"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at her and said seriously: "Let the Chen clan succeed the king, it is legitimate and everyone hopes for it."
Chen's beautiful face suddenly became very vivid, with excitement, a hint of redness, a restrained smile, a happy feeling, and a little nervous doubts, subtly changing rapidly between her eyebrows and eyes.
She asked carefully and seriously: "His Royal Highness, is your claim sincere?"
