Bamboo Raw Huaian

"Ha Dan □□." Chu Yue said coldly, exerting force suddenly, the two sharp blades were crowned with powerful internal force, clanked, and then bounced off each other.

Duan Qingzhu was protected behind him, and his heart was shocked.

The leader of Beiyan, Hada □□.

He also has another name in Dawei.

Khur Khan.

Hu Erhan took a few steps back, stopped the dead soldiers who were about to come to help, stared at Chu Yue with a pair of sharp eagle eyes, and licked his lips.

"Chu Yue." He slowly evoked a cruel smile, "Long time no see."

Chu Yue didn't answer, and stepped forward with the knife, slashing at his neck.

Chu Erhan raised his saber to resist, Chu Yue twisted his body in the air, turned the long saber, and stabbed at his left knee joint at a tricky angle.

Hu Erhan withdrew his knife and slashed at the back of Chu Yue's neck.Chu Yue hit the ground with the point of the knife, and rose into the air in relay. With his waist, he avoided the blade, turned around and kicked Hu Erhan hard on the jaw.

Kur Khan took a blow and took two steps back.Chu Yue didn't wait for him to react, he leaned forward and raised his knife to slash, but Chu Erhan raised the knife, but Chu Yue changed his figure and attacked the dead man next to him.

The dead man's vision was blocked, and he didn't have time to react. His neck felt cold, blood gushed out, and he fell straight down.

Chu Yue's saber did not stop, he raised and lowered the saber in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he had already killed two people, breaking a hole in the encirclement of the Yan people.

The moment the third person fell to the ground, Chu Er turned around to fight, and at the same time shouted at Duan Qingzhu: "Let's go!"

It was useless for Duan Qingzhu to say more, he dragged Xiao Xian and ran quickly, taking advantage of Chu Yue's effort to hold Yan Ren, passed behind Yan Ren's circle, and ran towards Qing'an Hall.

Chu Yue waved his saber feignedly, wanting to withdraw to follow.

He wanted to leave, but he couldn't.

Hu Erhan suddenly stopped, put two fingers into his mouth, and let out a sharp whistle.

In an instant, the sound of footsteps came from all directions, and dozens of Beiyan dead soldiers surrounded him.

Chu Yue's heart sank, and he suddenly attacked one of them, trying to break the siege.

But there are too many people.

Before his long knife reached the person, there were already several cold lights attacking him.

Chu Yue hurriedly drew his knife and turned around, reaching for it with both hands.Hearing the sound of "铛", five or six sharp blades slashed on his long knife, and a powerful force came along the handle of the knife. Chu Yue felt his tiger's mouth go numb, his chest hurt, and he spurted out a "wow". A mouthful of blood came.

Duan Qingzhu suddenly turned around.

Hu Erhan's whistle sounded again, and seven or eight Beiyan dead men were ordered to turn around and chase after them.

Seeing that the distance was getting closer, Duan Qingzhu gritted his teeth and pulled Xiao Xian to continue running forward.

After running a few steps, a figure flashed in front of him, and another group of people came.

Duan Qingzhu only felt the blood rushing up, rushing straight to the eardrums.

Before he had time to push the little prince out, the first few people had already drawn their knives.

He guarded Xiao Xian tightly behind him, clenched the sharp stone tightly in his hand, and looked up at the leader calmly.

The man didn't make a move.

First he bowed his hands and bowed to the little prince, then walked around behind them, led his troops to line up, and set up a formation to block the Beiyan people.

Duan Qingzhu was suspicious, he didn't relax his vigilance, he looked where the soldiers came from.

There were only thirteen or four people, neatly lined up and uniformly armored, but they were not palace guards according to their attire.

Walking up to him, the group of soldiers spread out to both sides, revealing the beautifully dressed women surrounded by them.

This man was only in his 30s and [-]s, and he was wearing a Zhai brocade gown with cross-collared sleeves and a golden cloud and moon crown on his head.The demeanor is dignified and the eyebrows are picturesque.

She is a woman, but she doesn't look weak when she stands among many strong soldiers. On the contrary, under her gentle appearance, she faintly carries a kind of majesty who has been in the top position for a long time.

Duan Qingzhu went to the harem very rarely, so she had no way of knowing her identity.So he hesitated, unable to figure out her purpose for a while.

Then he saw the little prince coming out from behind him like a small group, bowed politely to the woman, and said: "Madam Yifei is well."

The little hand he raised was white and tender, with an imperceptible tremor.

Duan Qingzhu knew that he was very scared.

But even so, he still walked out from behind the gentleman, revealing the identity of the person.

Because he couldn't let his husband, who was protecting him all the way, be unprepared when facing others.

Duan Qingzhu felt pain in his heart, took a step forward, protected the little prince again, raised his sleeves lightly, and rushed to greet the people: "Foreign minister Duan Qingzhu, I have seen Yifei."

This concubine Yi is Zhou Ying, the eldest daughter of the old concubine of Zhou Ge.

Concubine Yi slowly walked in front of the two of them, she lowered her eyes to look at the robes that concealed each other, she couldn't see their expressions clearly.

She saw the little prince's actions in her eyes.

She knew how much courage it took for a four or five-year-old child to remain calm and even stand up in such a situation.

With such courage at such a young age, if he succeeds in the future, he will definitely be a wise king.

Unfortunately, he was raised by Duan Qingzhu.

She could see that the relationship between the two was very deep, and it was almost impossible for the prince to turn against Duan Qingzhu.

She looked at Xiao Xian and met a pair of pure eyes.

Clean and clean, not yet stained with tricks and schemes, with a faint glimmer of water, he looked at her obediently.

The little prince knows that he is good-looking, and he is also good at using this good-looking.

But this little thought is not annoying.

Because of his small mind, he would never use it to hurt others.

Concubine Yi withdrew her gaze, and with a little imperceptible scrutiny, she fell on the young Taifu who supported innovation in front of her.

Although she lives in the deep palace, she has also heard about his courage and skill, and has also assumed countless times what kind of career he can accomplish if he is not caught in party disputes.

He taught the prince very well.

She thought a lot in her mind, but it was just a blink of an eye.

When he looked up again, he had already made a decision.

She nodded lightly: "His Royal Highness, Grand Tutor Duan."

Then he didn't say much anymore, went straight past the two of them, met Hu Erhan's gaze without avoiding it, turned his head slightly, and made a gesture behind him.

Behind her, the Zhou family's guards were ordered to unsheath their long knives, and they all took a step forward.

Hu Erhan paused, raised his hand to stop the Beiyan dead soldier behind him.

He stared at Yifei's face, like an eagle staring at a rabbit on the prairie.

Laughing suddenly, flicking the scimitar, he raised his chin at Concubine Yi: "Miss Zhou, what do you mean?"

"Guard my Great Wei Rivers and Mountains." Concubine Yi said slowly, "Protect my Great Wei Prince."

Hu Erhan's eyes were even more playful.

"We had an appointment in advance. Your father wanted Prince Xian's life, but you came to protect Prince Xian." Hu Erhan joked, "Miss Zhou, you make it difficult for me."

Without warning, the conspiracy between the old clan and Beiyan was instantly exposed in broad daylight.

Yifei's face was still calm.

Standing in the shadow of swords and swords with a bit of red makeup, she did not retreat at all, and stopped every word:

"Then let's fight."

Hengwu Palace.

Duan Qingzhu followed Concubine Yi into the palace, quietly reached out and patted Xiao Xian's head, signaling him to be at ease, then turned to Chu Yue, and asked softly: "Is the injury on your body serious?"

Chu Yue shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Concubine Yi led the troops just in time, and there were not too many people with Huer Khan. If he wanted to fight, the outcome would be uncertain, so Huer Khan decisively ordered them to be released.

Therefore, even though Chu Yue was injured, it didn't hurt the root.

Duan Qingzhu heaved a sigh of relief.Right now, although Concubine Yi's motives are unclear, at least she still has room to lobby, and it's better than being chased all over the imperial city by a dozen Beiyan dead men.

After entering the hall, Concubine Yi ordered people to guard the palace gate, and then she ignored it, leaned on the soft couch, picked up a bowl of tea and blew on it, and let Duan Qingzhu take a seat.

After Duan Qingzhu sat down, a maid came to serve tea and snacks.

He said in a troubled voice and raised his head subconsciously.

It was Anwen.

Duan Qingzhu was taken aback, he hadn't seen Anwen again in all these years, he thought she had picked up her mother from the Zhou Mansion long ago, and the two of them went to spend Anwen's birthday.

Who would have thought that she was sent to the palace.

Speechless for a while.

Anwen pursed his lips, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes, but he finally closed his eyes, blessed his body, and retreated.

Duan Qingzhu's heart moved slightly, but it was hard to say anything here and now.

He restrained his mind and gave a literati salute to Concubine Yi: "I just thanked Concubine Yi just now."

Concubine Yi said: "I rescued the crown prince of Great Wei, it has nothing to do with the Taifu, I can't afford this gift."

Duan Qingzhu never got up: "Your Majesty has the world in mind, and she deserves to be worshiped by my humble minister."

Concubine Yi didn't care about him anymore, she took the tea bowl and sipped it one after another.

After a long time, she sighed, her eyes full of tiredness no longer concealed: "Sit down."

She looked at Duan Qingzhu with a complicated expression, and whispered: "If you were me, how would you choose?"

Duan Qingzhu didn't speak.

Concubine Yi didn't need him to answer, she said slowly: "Ten years ago, I chose the Zhou family. I used all the power I could to suppress innovation. Therefore, I broke up with the emperor, and the court was full of blood.

"Since then, the Zhou family has gradually grown, but my brothers and sisters, and the people of Wei, our lives have never been easier because of this.

"I have often thought in the past ten years, I... did I choose the right one?"

"Today, I see that Xian'er was taught very well by you... I see great hope in him." Yi Fei paused, and chuckled lightly, "So I chose you again."

"Currently, vacillating...my whole life..." Concubine Yi's mouth curled up, revealing a bitter smile.

She didn't say any more, just leaned on the soft couch and closed her eyes.

Duan Qingzhu looked at her and sighed in his heart.

In recent years, Concubine Yi lived in seclusion, although he had never heard of her, but from her undisturbed posture in the shadow of swords and swords, he could vaguely see the bright and bright shadow of her youth when she was young.

After all, such a woman was wasted by endless calculations into such a appearance.

However, Concubine Yi didn't have any malice in her words, they are still safe in Hengwu Palace for the time being.

It's just that Duan Qingzhu always felt that Hu Erhan gave up too easily.Based on his understanding of Kurhan, this person is fierce and brave, with a strong purpose.If there is no absolute benefit to what he is determined to do, it will be difficult for him to change his purpose.

Although there is little chance of winning against Zhou's guards with a mere dozen or so people, Duan Qingzhu always feels that Chu Erhan will definitely not retreat for this reason.

There must be some other reason he hadn't considered.

Just as he was thinking, his nose suddenly itched, and he felt that the incense smell of Hengwu Palace was too strong.

It's just that in someone else's palace, it's always bad to have too many opinions.

Duan Qingzhu took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and tried his best to ignore the scent of incense in the air.

Ambergris was lingering in the golden beast incense burner, and a little smoke floated out, and the small light smoke fluttered quietly in the dim light.

He stared at the stove calmly, thinking that the sandalwood in the mansion is better, the place next to it, even if it is as noble as Hengwu Palace, the incense is so choking and smoky...

This room was in a trance when she heard Concubine Yi on the soft couch say: "Take away the two incense sticks, the smell is strong today."

Then a maid responded and went to extinguish the incense.

Duan Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief silently.

This breath was not relieved to the end, but he was a little surprised.

It's just that he's not used to the smell, Concubine Yi has lived in Hengwu Palace for so many years, why does she suddenly feel the smell is strong?

Duan Qingzhu became vigilant, and smelled it carefully, it seemed that it was not only the smell of burning incense, but it was covered by the strong Longyan incense, so it was difficult to detect it for a while.

It's like the smell of charcoal for heating in the stove, just a trace, not very obvious.

charcoal!

Duan Qingzhu stood up abruptly, met Yi Fei's surprised gaze, paused on his lips, and said tactfully: "The smell of cigarettes is a bit strong, may the empress send someone to look around?"

Concubine Yi was a little surprised, and then felt that the young Taifu seemed to have something to say.

After thinking for a while, he ordered his subordinates to go out to investigate, then turned his head and said politely: "Does the Taifu have something to say?"

Duan Qingzhu said: "Not sure, wait for the lady's people to come back."

Concubine Yi nodded and said no more.

After about half a cup of tea, the voices outside the hall were a little chaotic, and then the maid who had just left opened the door and came in to report: "Your Majesty, the small kitchen just leaked water, and now someone has to deal with it."

Concubine Yi asked: "How is the fire?"

The maid said: "When the maidservant arrived, it had already been extinguished. According to the palace man on duty, the fire was not serious."

Concubine Yi then nodded, and said calmly: "Teacher is indeed very alert. My palace management is not good, and Taifu was surprised."

"Your Majesty, you've beaten the evil minister." Duan Qingzhu slightly bowed his head and saluted, thinking that he was like a soldier.

But I always felt strange, pondered for a moment, and said: "I have heard for a long time that the palaces are expensive and exquisite, and today I can see them in TOEFL. Just for making food, in addition to the imperial dining room, each palace is also equipped with a small kitchen."

"The Grand Tutor is joking. All food in the palace is provided by the imperial dining room. It is forbidden for the palaces to use the kitchen privately." Concubine Yi smiled wearily, "It's just that the emperor favored me back then and granted me a small kitchen... It's not that bad. Luxurious, it’s just a place for a change of taste.”

Concubine Yi looked gloomy, presumably it was before she broke with the emperor.

Duan Qingzhu was inconvenient to answer the phone, so his thoughts changed.

An uncomplicated small kitchen with a pile of charcoal fire.Although it is not a lot every day, it is not a small amount if it accumulates over time.

It was built later, and it would not focus on preventing water leakage.

The palace people of Hengwu Palace are well aware of the hidden dangers in the small kitchen, so they will always be vigilant, and will extinguish it in time if there is a sign, so there has never been any trouble in these years.

But if someone deliberately...

Duan Qingzhu suddenly regained consciousness, and before returning to Concubine Yi, she hurriedly said to Chu Yue: "Go to the small kitchen to find the fire source, there must be more than one place!"

In the concubine's palace, it was a little offensive for a foreign minister to do so.

On the contrary, Concubine Yi also felt that there was something hidden, so she didn't get angry, she just asked: "What does Tai Tuo mean?"

"The palace people in charge of the small kitchen in the Empress's Palace must be very vigilant against water leakage. If there is any time to relax, it will be after the fire is extinguished. If someone secretly set the fire at this time, it may be difficult to find it for a while.

"Besides, the fire just happened so coincidentally. The dinner is over, so it's not the time to use the fire, so why did it happen when the empress brought the prince and ministers here?

"Fang Caichen has been thinking that Huer Khan is not a character who gives up lightly. This time, he retreated decisively. I am afraid that he will have a backup. Want to come..."

Before Duan Qingzhu finished speaking, the noise outside the hall gradually increased. A guard of the Zhou Mansion rushed in and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, the whole kitchen is on fire."
