At the end of November in the 12th year of Jianwen, the princess regent Huangfu Mingyue and her son-in-law Chu Yunxi brought the two-year-old emperor Huangfu Han to the front line to boost morale.

"The army changes commanders before the enemy? Does the eldest princess not trust me, Li Mo?" In the army tent, Li Mo slapped the table, his face full of anger.

The eldest princess sat in the main seat, looked at the marching map on the table and said nothing.Wu Wang Huangfuze sat on the left hand of the eldest princess, and Lieutenant General Lin Ye stood beside Huangfuze.On the right hand side is Li Mo, the newly crowned Weiyuan King of a county with a different surname, and Zhang Han is sitting next to him.

And Chu Yunxi was sitting between the eldest princess and Li Mo, expressionless as if in a daze, but suddenly woke up by the slap, looked around in a daze, then sat up straight, and glanced at everyone present.In addition to the six of them, there were four newly selected generals in the tent. When Li Mo introduced the names, she was in a daze and didn't listen carefully. Peeking at her and the eldest princess, after meeting her eyes, she immediately stood up straight unconsciously, as if being inspected, Chu Yunxi withdrew her eyes a little funny, turned her head to look at Li Mo, and waved her hand to signal him After sitting down, he patted him on the shoulder still with a smile on his face, and persuaded him gently: "Calm down, don't think too much, we will surely win this attack on the capital, of course, it's because of your good command of the army, It is possible to train such a strong army, and the eldest princess is only in command to boost morale, and she also wants to avenge herself, who will forget your contribution to General Li?"

Li Mo looked at Chu Yunxi and remained silent. The eldest princess said she was here to supervise the army, but she came here for his seal. After the eldest princess took command and captured the capital, would she return the seal to him?No need to think about it!Let him hand over 20 troops, how can he be willing?How willing?What did the eldest princess rely on to dare to directly ask for a seal?Li Mo glanced at the other people, and found that they all had an attitude of watching the fire from the other side, clenched their fists angrily, but gritted their teeth without saying a word.

The eldest princess could not see the slightest anger at Li Mo's slapping the table, she just looked at Li Mo and said flatly: "The great general's achievements are obvious to all, and now this palace is only a temporary commander. The general went to suppress the rebel generals who rebelled against the garrison of Zhucheng."

When Li Mo heard this, he didn't let out a sigh of relief, but just sneered disdainfully.Looking at Chu Yunxi who obviously favored the eldest princess, he was a little angry.He has the ability and ambition of a hero, and if he wants to accomplish something great, whoever stops him will be his enemy. He has already warned Chu Yunxi that even if he does not cooperate, he will not be an opponent.I thought that Chu Yunxi would not be his enemy because of his kindness in the past, and they have always been "the well water does not violate the river water", but now they are all destroyed by this eldest princess.Li Mo was suddenly a little annoyed. Thinking of benevolence and not being in charge, his heart sank, killing intent appeared in his eyes, and he was even more unceremonious towards the eldest princess, but he smiled and said: "If Yunxi wants to command the seal, I, Li Mo There is absolutely no objection, but what qualifications do you have to dare to ask for this handsome seal? Don't say that I, Li Mo, are not convinced, even my 20 brothers are not convinced!"

Chu Yunxi frowned, turned his head to look at him, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense, and the surroundings fell into dead silence.

The eldest princess said proudly and coldly when she could hear the needle drop: "On the shore of the land, could it be the king's minister! Li Mo, don't be presumptuous!"

Li Mo laughed loudly, and said contemptuously, "Princess, you are justified! But if Yunxi and I hadn't gone to Huizhou to serve the king, the Huangfu family would have died in the smallpox even if they hadn't died in the war. How did you do it? Poison Jiu Xiaowei wanted to lure tigers and drive wolves away, but it was Yunxi who made a decisive decision, took control of the power, and stabilized the situation, so that Nanzhao soldiers and horses were not allowed to enter China. It was she who quickly organized troops and horses that gave us the ability Fighting with Mrs. Hua's army. It can be said that Yunxi and the generals risked their lives to bring this world back. What did the eldest princess do? The crown prince and the eldest princess were trapped in Luoyang Valley together. Why did you let the crown prince have an accident while you were alive? Don't say that I, Li Mo, committed crimes presumptuously. Although I don't dare to claim credit, what I said is true. No one can be handsome here because you have no qualifications! Do you really want me to destroy the Chu family? Do you want to speak out?"

"Enough!" Chu Yunxi yelled angrily, and she became angry rarely, her face was ashen, her eyes scanned all the people in the tent, very cold and stern.

The eldest princess's face turned blue and white, and she glanced at Chu Yunxi worriedly, then looked at Li Mo silently, Li Mo stared back provocatively, and the two sides were drawn to each other.

Wu Wang Huangfuze knew some inside information, and didn't know what to say, the others were confused, but they also knew that knowing too much is not a good thing, they only wished to be deaf, let alone dare to speak nonsense.

"The enemy is in front, why are you arguing?" Chu Yunxi slowed down his tone, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "I will take over the capital and take over the capital. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone in the tent looked at each other in surprise, but no one said anything.Li Mo opened his mouth to say something, glanced at everyone, and swallowed it back.

"Okay, Li Mo, give me your handsome seal and tiger amulet, and I'll make the battle plan." Chu Yunxi looked at Li Mo with calm eyes.

All the eyes in the tent looked at Li Mo vaguely, Li Mo laughed at himself, and in full view, he reluctantly took out the talisman and seal, and handed them over.

Chu Yunxi took it, without saying anything more, and directly called everyone to gather around the sand table, and then began to discuss the distribution of troops, marching and forming formations.No matter how busy the meeting is, Chu Yunxi watched the sand table and asked several generals to express their opinions. After a while, she calmly and calmly decided on a battle strategy.Li Mo's 20 troops plus Huangfuze's remaining 10 troops, and the [-] troops brought by the eldest princess from the south, made a total of more than [-] troops, divided into three teams, with King Wu Huangfuze as the vanguard. The main force of the Chinese army is naturally she and Li Mo, the eldest princess and the emperor are in charge of the Chinese army, and Lin Ye is in charge of the flank and support. The big battle is scheduled for the morning after tomorrow.Chu Yunxi acts resolutely and quickly, and gives orders quickly and accurately, like a natural leader, strategizing, unparalleled in style, making people trust her for no reason.

After everyone took orders and left one by one, only the eldest princess and Chu Yunxi were left in the tent. Chu Yunxi rubbed his forehead and bowed his head in silence.

"Is your body uncomfortable?" The eldest princess approached and asked softly, reaching out to rub her hand, but retracted halfway.

Chu Yunxi shook his head slowly, lowered his head, pretended not to see her move, and after a long time raised his head deliberately smiled and asked: "I am in charge of the prince and general alone. Commander of the three armies, Lord Marquis Prime Minister, it can be said that the power is overwhelming. The princess is not afraid that I will take the emperor and plot the world?"

"Just as long as you are happy." Seeing her smile, the eldest princess dropped her heart, took a cup of hot water and handed it over, and said nonchalantly.

Chu Yunxi twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, took a sip of the water, played with the cup, and became dazed again.

The eldest princess approached and took out the cup, without saying a word, she just stared at Chu Yunxi.

Chu Yunxi felt terrified at being watched, and asked with a forced smile, "What are you looking at me for?"

"Since you captured Dazhou, you have been in a daze all the time. What are you thinking about?" The eldest princess asked Chu Yunxi with deep eyes.

Chu Yunxi blinked his eyes, and was about to open his mouth to make up a random reason to fool him, when the eldest princess immediately said: "Don't panic."

"I want to go to see Mrs. Hua in the city." Chu Yunxi paused, then said the truth with an expression of helplessness.

"She may not give you the antidote. What if you don't let you come back to the army? Why don't you wait until the war is over? I'll order someone to capture her alive and take her by force." The hand holding Chu Yunxi was not loose.

Chu Yunxi sighed and nodded.The eldest princess laughed, holding Chu Yunxi's slightly cold hand with both hands to warm her up, and kept silent about what happened before and her fearful heart.

On the first day of December, heavy snow fell, soldiers approached the city, and the capital went through war again.

Chu Yunxi was watching the battle on the chariot, looking at the battlefield that shook the sky in the distance, with a cold face, and said to the eldest princess next to him: "On December 28 last year, I went to Beijing to find Mrs. Hua for an antidote, and I left on the first day of the first lunar month. I went to Huizhou to find you. I thought I would never step into the city again in my lifetime, but a year later, I came back here again."

The eldest princess didn't answer, but looked at the city wall from a distance, a bright red dress flashed past, although the distance was far, but the man's eyes were looking at her side.The eldest princess glanced at Chu Yunxi beside her. Chu Yunxi didn't see the people on the city wall. Seeing that the eldest princess had a bad face, she thought it was because she was uncomfortable with the bloody battlefield, so she held her hand comfortingly.

Turning around again, he found that the capital city was full of flames. Chu Yunxi was startled when he saw it, but when he looked carefully, he froze in place.The eldest princess also saw the fire, and after identifying the direction, her face sank like water, and she pinched Chu Yunxi's hand for a long time before she squeezed out a few words: "How dare she?"

The east and west city gates opened simultaneously at that moment, and the soldiers and horses in the city rushed out of the city frantically and began to break through.

"Catch her, you must catch her!" The eldest princess closed her eyes, took a deep breath, opened them again, and said angrily.

Chu Yunxi nodded, signaling to the banner soldiers to order the soldiers attacking the east and west gates to stop and arrest the rebels with all their strength.

The war lasted from early morning to nightfall. The dead soldiers were counted and buried, and the living were exhausted. Mrs. Hua had fled without a trace.

Chu Yunxi stood in front of the burnt-out ruins of the palace. Soldiers were holding torches and patrolling around. Officials and generals were in charge of counting the number of people and maintaining security in their respective areas according to the previous instructions. Everyone was busy everywhere. There were only people with knives on the streets. Armor or soldiers on horseback holding torches shuttled back and forth endlessly, and the capital city after the war was miserable and cold.

"Where is the sound of fighting coming from?" Chu Yunxi was on the way to the temporary meeting hall, when he heard the sound of weapons clashing and shouts of killing coming from a distance, he asked Zhang Han beside him, Zhang Han faltered and replied not coming back.Chu Yunxi suddenly guessed something in his heart, snatched the torches from the soldiers beside him, and ran towards the place where the sound came from. Zhang Han didn't react in a hurry, he just felt a gust of wind blowing from the silver cloak on Chu Yunxi's body, holding the torches She ran a long way away, hesitated for a while, waved her hand, signaled her subordinates to follow, and hurriedly chased after her.

Chu Yunxi ran over panting, only to see the eldest princess' bodyguards fighting with Li Mo's personal soldiers, the messy torches and corpses on the ground, the screams and the sound of knives piercing flesh could be heard clearly in her ears .Chu Yunxi stood still, looking at the tragic scene in front of her, which made her more frightened than a bloody battle during the day, and her whole body was cold.

Zhang Han caught up with Chu Yunxi, looked at the scene in front of him, a little at a loss, didn't know what to do, looked at Chu Yunxi, and waited for her order, but Chu Yunxi just watched these people torn apart quietly, maybe To be more precise, it was watching, watching those hundred and ten people desperately fighting for their lives with no expression on their faces.

The battle ended with the death of Li Mo's soldiers, and the princess's bodyguards paid nearly double the price, and the two sides finally stopped.

"Li Mo let go of the traitor Huang Fuxu, and even dared to lead the rebellion. If he commits the crime below, he is an unforgivable crime. Come, I will take him down and put him on death row." .

"If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about!" Li Mo's whole body was stained with blood, holding a blood-dripping knife, his face was distorted and ferocious due to anger and killing intent, there was a kind of desolation and madness of a hero's end , He sneered and said: "Huangfu Mingyue, for the sake of power, you unscrupulous bastard! You have a heart like a snake and a scorpion, a despicable and shameless pervert, I know you will not let me go, so I don't need you to do it!" Suddenly, he turned his head to face Chu Yunxi who was in the distance, and said with a crazy smile, "Chu Yunxi, I will wait for you in hell!"

Chu Yunxi was expressionless, watching Li Mo laughing wildly and committing suicide, blood gushed out from his neck, and stood there for a long time.

"Yunxi?" The eldest princess approached and called softly, wanting to explain, but Chu Yunxi turned and left without saying a word.

The eldest princess took a few steps, stopped her with her body, and said bitterly, "Yunxi, do you believe me?"

"Don't say anything, I know." Chu Yunxi seemed to be muttering to himself, his eyes were out of focus, and he walked around people after speaking.

The eldest princess's face was stiff, watching Chu Yunxi's back go away, she clenched her fists tightly, the embarrassment of being so insulted made her not have the courage to go forward again.And Chu Yunxi's performance disappointed her even more. What can be compared to her lover's indifference and perfunctory hurting?And just based on Li Mo's last sentence, she only hated killing him too late!

In fact, the eldest princess didn't know, and Chu Yunxi didn't mean to be perfunctory, it's just that there are some things, knowing it is one thing, accepting it is another.Li Mo died wronged, but what shocked Chu Yunxi was the method of the eldest princess, which was too ruthless, so that the image of the real murderer of the Chu family murder case that she had been reluctant to believe in her heart clearly became her, and she was always there. Into the depths of my mind, it can be erased without a single sentence.It was even more unacceptable that the person who would do anything for power was actually his lover who slept in the same bed.
