In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

Hearing the eunuch Liang Zhaozhong's angry shout, Chi Yu hesitated slightly.

He shouted loudly to the soldiers following him:

"See…"

As soon as the words came out, Emperor Mu opened his mouth and scolded sternly:

"Princess Chi, I am the legitimate heir of Daliang. She is merely a usurper. Your father and I were once good friends. I even held you in my arms when you were young. Why would you support a rebel?"

"I don't know why they want to see your sister Shen before they're willing to release us from the prison car, but I think now that we've seen the real person, we can't just listen to the words of a eunuch and support an emperor."

"This Shen should listen to our two emperor's policies and choose... who should be the emperor!"

As soon as the words fell, silence fell all around, and you could hear a pin drop.

Even Chi Yu himself didn't dare to breathe.

He turned his head and looked at Shen Qian for help, asking for her advice.

Shen Qian looked at Chi Yu's hesitant look and sighed in her heart: This is not asking her to listen to the emperor's ideas, this is clearly putting herself on the fire.

If everyone had done what General Manager Liang Zhaozhong said before Emperor Mu spoke, then Emperor Zhao would definitely be the winner between the two.

The losers continued to roll back into the prison van and were imprisoned.

But after he opened his mouth, everyone stopped moving, and the most innocent Shen Qian was dragged into this drama called the battle between the two emperors.

Suddenly Shen Qian felt overwhelmed.

What should he do? Should he directly support Emperor Zhao and not give Emperor Mu any chance?

But she was not clear about the subsequent historical process. She only knew that an emperor later reached the southern border and had no energy to counterattack the northern border.

The conflicts with officials from the southern border become increasingly difficult to resolve every day.

If you want to save Daliang, you have to take the risk. If you finally decide to overthrow Emperor Zhao...

The consequence of that would certainly be that his backer, General Manager Liang, would be liquidated.

But I am considered to be a person supported by General Manager Liang. If General Manager Liang is liquidated, even if I have the merit of following him, there is no guarantee that I will not be liquidated later, right?

Almost just for a moment.

Shen Qian has already figured out the key to the problem.

Giving Emperor Mu a chance would only be disadvantageous to himself.

Supporting Emperor Zhao would benefit himself in every way.

Shen Qian immediately shouted, "Didn't you hear what Chief Steward Liang said?"

"Need I say it again?"

"Long live Emperor Zhao!"

Shen Qian shouted so loudly that Emperor Zhao, who was originally planning to call Liang Zhaozhong to gather the eunuchs to take action, was stunned.

The soldiers standing beside Shen Qian knelt down first.

"Wow~"

The sound of armor and weapons clashing could be heard.

"Long live Emperor Zhao!"

"Long live Emperor Zhao!"

The loud shouts one after another echoed throughout the snow.

Choosing sides so decisively? Emperor Zhao gave Shen Qian a deep look.

In her heart, Shen Qian is at least a smart person.

She is the Inspector General and her power comes from Liang Zhaozhong. Now Liang Zhaozhong is obviously her own man. If she supports Emperor Mu, it seems that she is following the dragon.

But in fact, Emperor Mu will definitely eliminate the treacherous villain Liang Zhaozhong after he comes to power.

In this way, Shen Qian's identity as the Inspector General would become useless. With only the identity of an earl, she could be awarded the higher rank of marquis for her meritorious service, but she would never have the power and prosperity she has now.

"You!" Emperor Mu was shocked by Shen Qian's behavior.

He didn't even give himself a chance.

Directly turn to Emperor Zhao?

Why? Is it that just because he is the emperor, he is so unpopular?

Thinking of this, the last bit of energy in Emperor Mu dissipated.

He knelt on the ground in dejection.

Showing the attitude of a loser.

"Take him down." Emperor Mu ordered Liang Zhaozhong who was standing beside him.

Now she was not sure whether she could command the other soldiers.

So he simply gave orders directly to Liang Zhaozhong, the only eunuch who would definitely obey him.

Seeing this, Liang Zhaozhong immediately bowed his head:

"promise!"

After Emperor Mu was thrown into the prison car again.

A scout came running over on the snowy road and bowed in front of Shen Qian:

"Lord!"

"There is a barbarian squad of over a thousand people, rushing towards this side quickly."

Hearing the scout's report, Emperor Zhao was shocked:

This group of barbarians actually caught up with us so quickly?

Just as she was hesitating to order a retreat, Shen Qian suddenly shouted:

"Formation!"

"Form a group of ten and fight the barbarians together."

"The snow has blocked the roads, and they are just a group of infantry in armor. If we fight in a coordinated manner... we will surely win!"

"We will win!" Shen Qian shouted with full energy, and the new recruits responded with great enthusiasm:

"Must win!"

But they are well aware of how powerful their master is.

One hundred men can defeat a thousand barbarian cavalrymen.

Still on the plain.

And now, there are more than 4,000 of them, facing only 1,000 barbarians. After practicing battle formation coordination for so long, it would be too shameful if they still cannot defeat these 1,000 barbarians.

If they were defeated... they never thought that they could defeat those barbarians despite having an absolute advantage in numbers.

Emperor Zhao was even more shocked by Shen Qian's order.

How brave was she to give the order to confront the barbarians head-on?

You know, even in the city defense battle, they and the barbarians accounted for a high proportion.

What's more, this is a battle on the plains. Although the barbarians have no horses, he can still clearly remember how ferocious they look.

She hadn't slept a single peaceful night during her escape.

Everyone is on guard against the barbarians who may attack at any time.

And those barbarians did not disappoint her, chasing and ambushing them five times.

This is the sixth time.

The number of guards around him and the soldiers led by Chi Yu, who had made great contributions in protecting the emperor, were decreasing.

If they had not met Shen Qian and her group, they would probably have been completely wiped out by the barbarians' sixth pursuit.

She herself and Emperor Mu, who had just been put back into the prison car...could not escape the fate of being captured by the barbarians.

And she, the new emperor who successfully usurped the throne, might even replace Emperor Mu and become the king who destroyed Daliang.

When thinking of these four words, Emperor Zhao's delicate body couldn't help but shiver.

"kill!"

The sound of barbarians shouting and killing in the distance reached Emperor Zhao's ears.

Emperor Zhao's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Seeing this, Shen Qian took two steps forward and grasped Emperor Zhao's delicate hand.

Said softly:

"Emperor Zhao, there is no need to worry."

"If you are truly defeated, there are still those one thousand eunuchs from the Supervisory Department who will escort you south."

"Daliang... must seize the cold winter and reclaim the northern border."

"Otherwise, when the ice and snow melt, the barbarian horses will gallop across the northern plains, and there will be no possibility of recovering them."

Emperor Zhao's eyes lit up as he listened to Shen Qian's analysis of the current situation.

This woman's thoughts and concerns are exactly the same as mine.

If she were to enter the palace to help him, the recovery of the northern border would probably be much faster?

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhao suddenly clenched Shen Qian's hand.

After looking at Shen Qian affectionately, he gently twisted his neck and looked towards the battle group not far away.

The barbarians have already approached the soldiers.

The sounds of weapons clashing and colliding continued to ring out, but from Emperor Zhao's perspective, he was unable to see the battle situation at the front.

"I must...win!" Emperor Zhao clenched his palms, his mind firm.
