Sheng Zhonghuai looked at Zhu Youzhen standing in front of him dumbfounded.

Unkempt, hair, beard is covered with ice ballast, the whole face is cracked, in the cracked mouth, red flesh, yellow pus, the originally personable Zhu Youzhen, if he is thrown on the street at this moment, Sheng Zhonghuai will definitely not recognize him, he will only treat him as a flower child.

Because it's called Hanako, it's too common outside.

And standing next to Zhu Youzhen, the one with a similar appearance is Cao Bin. At this moment, he is supporting Zhu Youzhen, if it weren't for Cao Bin holding Zhu Youzhen, I'm afraid that Zhu Youzhen wouldn't be able to stand at all at this moment.

Sheng Zhonghuai knew that because Zhu Youzhen was captured by the Tang army after the defeat in Luzhou, and then because Liu Ruyan hated him and killed Mrs. Wang, he instructed people to torture him in every way.

Taking a deep breath, Sheng Zhonghuai took a step forward and clenched his fists: "Third Highness." ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled, shook off Cao Bin's hand, hugged his fists and saluted: "Zhong Huai, I am here to flee this time." My army is still trudging through the Qinling Mountains, and I don't know how much it can get out. Cao Bin took 300 guards to escort me all the way over, 300 people, and 76 died. ”

"Your Highness has suffered!" Sheng Zhonghuai glanced at a general beside him.

"Assassin Shi, the more than two hundred personal guards who escorted His Royal Highness out are still staying in a Zhuangzi outside the city, I have already arranged them, and no one has found them." Tian Mancang arched his hand.

"His Royal Highness brought this soldier and horse here?" Sheng Zhonghuai looked at Zhu Youzhen and said.

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "No way, after Sun Tonglin went back and told me your opinion, I was afraid that you would think about it for too long and regret it, so I set off immediately, abandoning the army along the way, so I can be regarded as rushing to you." ”

Sheng Zhonghuai smiled: "Your Highness is so bold, aren't you afraid that now I will turn my face and deny people?" ”

Cao Bin's face changed slightly, but Zhu Youzhen shook his head: "For me, this is the only way out, isn't it?" If you really turn your face and kill me, I can still get a whole corpse, I can't say that you will give me a good coffin and bury me well, if I stay in Chang'an and fall into the hands of Tang Jun, my head will definitely be cut off, and I will be made of lime, spices and other things to give to Li Ze to play with, then it is really a dead body. ”

Sheng Zhonghuai was silent for a long time, Zhu Youzhen looked at him with a smile and didn't speak, but Cao Bin on the side was so nervous that he was sweating in the winter. He knew very well that if Sheng Zhonghuai really turned his face, he and Zhu Youzhen would inevitably be here, not to mention that he was exhausted at the moment, he was in a prosperous state, and his fists were invincible.

"Just this courage and determination are indeed far superior to the Second Highness. You may not know that at this moment, the Second Highness is less than fifty miles away from me, but our Second Highness has brought a full five thousand elites here. Sheng Zhonghuai said with a smile.

"Is he going to send troops to Xiangyang?"

"No, he forced me to send troops to Xiangyang, and then used his five thousand elites to snatch Niangniang back." Sheng Zhonghuai said with a sneer.

"Sister-in-law?" Zhu Youzhen's eyes widened, and her face was incredible.

Sheng Zhonghuai nodded, leaned sideways, stretched out his hand and asked, "Third Highness, please speak inside." ”

Zhu Youzhen did not hesitate at all, and walked inside. Cao Bin had just taken a step forward, but Tian Mancang stopped in front of him sideways.

"The History of the Thorn!" Cao Bin shouted.

Sheng Zhonghuai hadn't spoken yet, but Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said, "Cao Bin, you just wait here, I'm going to see my sister-in-law, it's not appropriate for you to go." ”

Dai Shu sat in the center of the lobby, on her left and right, a son and a daughter were also sitting on the chair like little adults, and when she saw Zhu Youzhen, who was called a flower child, who came in from the door, Dai Shu's big eyes were also instantly frozen.

"Sister-in-law!" Zhu Youzhen bowed deeply.

"The surviving people don't dare to be the gift of Emperor Liang!" Dai Shu said coldly.

Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly: "I appeared here, naturally I will no longer be the Emperor of Daliang, Sheng Zhonghuai should have told you what he meant, and when everything is done here, I will send a letter to Guangzhou, go to the emperor's name, and ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to give it." Even if she is still Emperor Liang, her sister-in-law is worthy of this ceremony. ”

"I really want to kill you and avenge your big brother!" Dai Shu gritted her teeth and said.

Zhu Youzhen sighed: "Sister-in-law, if it wasn't for the eldest brother to do something, how could I kill him?" ”

Dai Shu smiled: "Third brother, don't say some high-sounding things here, you have always coveted the position of Emperor Daliang, and your eldest brother killed your Lao Tzu, and that is also for a reason." Even if you didn't have that, would you let your eldest brother go? ”

Zhu Youzhen shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, you blame me for this." If the eldest brother didn't do such a thing, with my strength at that time, and the support of the ministers in the court, the eldest brother was not my opponent, and I really wouldn't kill him. It can only be said that the world makes people. ”

Glancing at Dai Shu, he sighed deeply again.

Dai Shu was a little embarrassed, Zhu Youzhen's glance contained too complicated meanings.

"Now that you're here, Sheng Zhonghuai has also decided to take refuge in you, what should you do if you decide to take our mother?" Dai Shu asked.

Zhu Youzhen said: "Sister-in-law's words are out of sight. The Dai family, the Zhu family, was originally a world friend, and now, this branch of Uncle Dai Chao is gone, Uncle Dai Yue has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and now he has also retired, I heard that he is a rich man. Since the sister-in-law has married into the Zhu family, she is naturally a member of the Zhu family. Zhu Youzhen didn't dare to say anything else, but as long as I wasn't dead, I would definitely protect you from anyone. ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen say this, Dai Shu couldn't help but cry.

"Third brother, the Zhu family has already lost in this battle, Sheng Zhonghuai told me, even if you do what he says, I am afraid that it will only be delayed, and he is not optimistic that the Southern Alliance can defeat Li Ze at all. It doesn't matter if I live or die, but this son and a daughter are your eldest brother's blood and bones, if you really have a conscience and really miss the words of the Zhu family, then when you kill the second child and take power, you will send my mother and son away, in this way, no matter what you do in the end, it can be regarded as leaving some blood for your old Zhu family. ”

Zhu Youzhen's face changed slightly: "Does sister-in-law want to go to Uncle Dai Yuedai?" ”

Dai Shu shook her head and said, "I am a girl who married out, as you said, I am a member of the Zhu family." I went to the second uncle, I may be able to save my life, but they are only afraid that they will be handed over by the second uncle, how can I be willing to send my children into the tiger's mouth. I'm going overseas, to a place where no one knows us. ”

Zhu Youzhen was silent for a moment: "It was arranged by Sheng Zhonghuai?" ”

"Yes!" Dai Shu said: "Although my father is dead, there are always some loyal subordinates left, and Sheng Zhonghuai has already arranged it." Once this is over, I'll go. ”

"Is Sheng Zhonghuai going too?" Zhu Youzhen said.

Dai Shu shook his head: "He said that he won't leave, he wants to fight for Youyu in the end, and do his best again, what if things take a turn for the better, what if he wins?" If this is the case, in the future, Youyu will always be able to get a title in the history books. ”

"I see, sister-in-law!" Zhu Youzhen said: "When I grasp the power of Yizhou, I will never stop my sister-in-law from leaving." It doesn't matter where the sister-in-law goes, but the sister-in-law must let the children remember who their ancestors were. ”

In the tall wooden barrel, Zhu Youzhen soaked in hot water, and the frostbite all over his body made him frown, but he endured it and never let himself be called, and the suffering he suffered in the Tang Army at the beginning, this torture is really nothing.

Cao Bin, who was standing outside, scooped water with a wooden scoop and slowly poured it on Zhu Youzhen's body.

"Your Majesty, can Sheng Zhonghuai really entrust a big thing?"

"If he can't be trusted, the two of us are already dead at this moment." Zhu Youzhen said. "This person has the talent to slaughter and assist, but unfortunately, before he had time to show his skills, the whole situation collapsed. So, I can use him boldly with confidence. ”

Cao Bin nodded, and said, "Do you really want to enlarge the princess and go?" The army in Hanzhong is the remnants of His Royal Highness and the remnants of the Dai clan, and as soon as the princess leaves, the military morale of these armies will be greatly affected. ”

"Sheng Zhonghuai has completely mastered this force." Zhu Youzhen shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter if my sister-in-law leaves or not." In fact, she also said it well, our situation is indeed not optimistic, she left with her eldest brother's child, no matter what the final outcome is, my Zhu family will not be without a person to renew the incense. If we really fail, maybe a hundred years later, it will be my Zhu family orphan who overthrows the Li Ze Dynasty! Ha ha. If it weren't for the purpose of killing the second brother, I'm afraid he would have left a long time ago, and Sheng Zhonghuai must have arranged everything a long time ago. ”

"Killing the Second Highness, what role can the eldest princess play?" Cao Bin was puzzled.

Zhu Youzhen sneered, blushing. 's father was lost by Dai Shu's beauty and lost his life, and now Zhu Lao Er is about to follow in his footsteps. Zhu Lao Er came to Hanzhong, and he also brought a large number of elites, who else could kill him, except for Dai Shu? Can other people get close to Zhu Laoer? Only when Zhu Lao Erse was obsessed and appeared alone by Dai Shu's side, that was when he died.

It's just that this kind of family scandal, even if Cao Bin is his most trusted general, he is unwilling to announce it.

"But look at it! Tomorrow, the second child will arrive in Hanzhong. ”
