The Wife is First

Chapter 118
Without further ado, Jing Shao left [-] of the [-] soldiers from Jiangnan, and the remaining [-] plus his own [-] soldiers, personally escorted his brother back to Beijing.Gu Huaiqing also wanted to follow, but was unanimously rejected by the other three. Now that Emperor Hongzheng was suspicious, if he saw King Huainan, then Jingchen would have no choice but to force the palace to seize the throne.

The Huainan fiefdom is in a peculiar position, and if you start with it, you can go straight to Huanglong. If the army wants to capture the capital, there is basically no natural danger.

Jing Shao has never understood why Taizu gave such a dangerous fiefdom to the ancestors of Huainan Wang, but no matter why, the "flaw" left by Taizu has greatly benefited him.

As they expected, there were people constantly intercepting and killing them along the way, but that small group of soldiers was not worth mentioning in front of the large army. A flat river of eight hundred miles would make a king like a broken bamboo.The face of Beijing changed upon hearing this, and the eldest prince led troops to stop King Cheng's army.

"What is the strength of the First Prince?" Sitting in the carriage, Jing Chen asked Mu Hanzhang who just got in.

"Less than [-]." Mu Hanzhang, who was used to seeing Jing Shao fighting, was not too worried.

Jing Chen put down the book in his hand, pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly.

"Brother, what did you see?" Seeing him contemplating, Mu Hanzhang couldn't help asking.

"If the emperor dispatches the army in the Central Plains, at least [-] can be dispatched." Seeing him, Jing Chen understood instantly, with a little satisfaction in his eyes, and said a few more words about the distribution and dispatch of Dachen's troops.

During the past few days on the road, Mu Hanzhang shared the carriage with Jing Chen most of the time. Both of them were not very talkative, but their occasional conversations could benefit each other a lot, especially Mu Hanzhang, who had a great influence on the emperor's mind. After a deeper understanding, I realized that what Jingchen learned since childhood was really the way to be a king.

"Jing Shao is good at fighting, but he doesn't know much about other things. Since you have decided to spend this life with him, you have to be more tolerant from time to time." Jing Chen looked at the figure of his younger brother in the distance, and said reproachful words in his mouth, his tone The inside is full of maintenance.

"Brother, don't worry, my younger brother will definitely not bully him." These days, he has gotten a lot closer to this elder brother, and Mu Hanzhang couldn't help but tease him.

Jing Chen glanced at him and slowly showed a faint smile.

"咴~" There was a neighing sound from a steed, and Jing Shao shouted loudly outside the carriage: "Brother, Jun Qing, come and see what I caught!"

Hearing the sound, the two stepped out of the carriage, and saw Jing Shao standing outside the carriage, with a man tied into a rice dumpling by hemp rope at his feet, glaring at them with sinister eyes, could it be the eldest prince Jing Rong!
"Brother Huang, is Emperor Father poisoned?" Jing Chen quietly looked at the people on the ground and said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, if you make trouble, you will die!" The eldest prince sneered, without denying it, his eyes were full of resentment and madness.

Jing Chen closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Killing the king and father, you are so insane!"

"You really know how to splash dirty water. Everyone knows that you can't wait to become the throne. Besides poisoning your father, do you also want to kill your brother?" The eldest prince struggled and was about to rush towards Jing Chen, but Jing Shao Kick down.

"It just so happened that Jing Yu sent me a prison cart, so let's pass it on to Brother Da Huang." Jing Shao picked up the person on the ground and threw it to Zhao Meng, pointing to the prison cart not far away. The one that came.

Zhao Meng was unequivocal, picked up Jing Rong with one hand and carried it on his shoulder, and strode towards the prison car with great strides.

"There are only these two carriages in the army, and Prince Rui and Lord Hou have to share one, and only one is reserved for His Highness. It is really our prince's kindness." The right guard followed to join in the fun, watching the Eldest Prince With an expression on his face that was about to bite someone, he couldn't help stabbing a few words.

"Hao Dadao isn't here, so you're going to blame me again." Zhao Meng threw the man into the prison car, and closed the door with a bang. Among them, Hao Dadao was the most upright. Usually, the right guards will always be lectured if they play tricks.

Zuo Hujun stood silently watching the two of them quarreling, and stepped forward to buckle the big lock of the prison car.

If Jing Shao and the others made a wrong bet this time, they would be committing a rebellion, and the generals following him would have no way out, so even though Hao Dadao was unwilling to do so, they were still left by Jing Shao to guard Jiangnan. If they failed, Not too deeply involved.But Zhao Meng and the left and right guards would follow whatever they said. After all, they were the soldiers of the king from the beginning to the end, and they couldn't get rid of their ties anyway, and they should be loyal to the end.

Jing Chen glanced at those noisy generals, turned around and got into the carriage again.The journey was long and the situation was critical, so they didn't have much time to waste.

"Boldly become a king, how dare you bring an army back to the capital!" A hundred miles away from the capital, is where Duke Mao's military power lies.

Jing Shao glanced at Duke Mao. He had the highest rank among the princes, so the military power in his hands was closest to the imperial city. It was a wise move to marry his family, but... look at the shortcomings of Duke Mao Thousands of soldiers and horses are really not enough to see.

"My king heard that someone committed a rebellion, so I should go back to Beijing to clear out traitors for my father." Jing Shao pointed a silver gun at Mao Guogong's nose and said it confidently.

"Hmph, your two brothers are plotting to usurp the throne. The emperor already knows about it. I advise you to abandon your armor and surrender immediately, and go back to the palace with the old minister to apologize. The emperor is benevolent, so maybe you can spare your life." Mao Guogong looked confident. .

"When the army returns to Beijing, Father should know about it. Duke Mao might as well take out Emperor Father's letter, and my two brothers will be captured without a fight." Jing Chen stood on the carriage and looked at Duke Mao coldly.

"Be careful!" Hearing the sound of breaking wind, Mu Hanzhang pushed Jing Chen away. Jing Chen reacted immediately and grabbed Mu Hanzhang, who was in no hurry to escape. Both of them rolled to the ground, a jet black The arrow was nailed straight to the position where he stood just now.

"Hmm..." Mu Hanzhang got up, his shiny palm was scratched by a stone on the ground, blood overflowed, and soon stained his snow-colored sleeve red.

"Junqing!" Jing Shao turned his head and saw that his concubine was injured, and immediately became furious. When he turned his head again, Duke Mao had already led his troops to kill him.

Jing Shao leaned back to avoid Lord Maoguo's slash, turned around and slammed at him with the barrel of the gun, Lord Maoguo immediately fought back, blocked the silver spear with the back of his knife, and the cavalry behind him also charged up, and the sound of slashing and killing immediately shook the sky ring.

The guards on the left and right did not step forward to fight, but stood firmly on both sides of the carriage, and killed all the cavalry who rushed over by their swords.

Jing Chen pulled his brother-in-law to get up, and Mo Yun's eighteen cavalry quickly stepped forward to surround the two of them, together with the cavalry guards on the left and right, forming an impenetrable barrier.

Duke Mao Guo also fought for many years when he was young, and his martial arts is not comparable to that of the eldest prince who has not practiced. It is not easy for Jing Shao to accept it.

The broadsword wrapped around Qinglongwen is as flexible as a left arm and a right arm, and it seems to have a thousand-weight force between slashing and slashing.Jing Shao connected several tricks with the barrel of a gun, and his mouth was numb from the shock.The glinting blade of the silver spear slashed across the silver spear, making an ear-piercing sound, Jing Shao immediately flipped the silver spear over, stuck the tip of the spear firmly against the blade, and was able to breathe for a moment.

"Does the lord really think that he is the number one general in Dachen?" Mao Guogong looked at Jing Shao contemptuously. In the eyes of these veterans, King Cheng repeatedly led troops because his officials did not dare to claim credit, and they all pushed him Only one person can appear to be so powerful. In fact, when he meets a real master, he will only be beaten.

Jing Shao looked at Mao Guogong coldly, as if he was exhausted, and the hand holding the silver gun was also trembling slightly.Duke Maoguo's eyes became brighter, and he bullied him more and more. Seeing that the silver gun was bent, and the blade was about to touch Jing Shao's neck, he suddenly heard a "swipe", which was the sound of blood gushing.

Duke Mao Guo was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered his head, looking at his waist and abdomen cut open by the sharp sword, he couldn't react for a while.

Jing Shao held the gun in one hand, and slapped it sideways, Duke Mao fell off his horse, and the sword fell to the ground, completely covered by the sound of fighting around.With his left hand, he flicked the blood on the long sword and put it back into the scabbard. The armor that the old man was wearing was covered from head to toe, and even protected his neck. It took him a long time to see that there was a piece of cloth connecting his waist. gap.

"Duke Maoguo has been punished, please put down your weapons as soon as possible, otherwise you will be punished as treason!" Jing Shao's voice with internal force spread in all directions, and the soldiers of Maoguogong were in disorder, while the morale of King Cheng was high. vibration.

The battle stopped shortly after, Jing Shao quickly rushed to the carriage, squeezed away Mo Yun Shibaqi, and hugged his princess: "Where is the injury, show me."

"It doesn't matter, it's just scratched." Mu Hanzhang held up his wrapped left hand to show him, "Duke Maoguo's purpose is to kill his brother, and it's definitely not the father's intention."

"The wound is so deep, it can't be done, I have to use that medicine, otherwise there will be a scar." Jing Shao didn't listen at all, and skillfully removed the bandage and reapplied the medicine.
