Chapter 52: A Loyal Person
Although Yan Shiyi blushed, she still rested her head on his shoulder. She nodded slightly, thinking that she was deeply in love with him, but he had made such a vow first, and she felt sad in her heart.
Unable to help but shed tears, she raised her hand to wipe it away, but Zhou Shengchen beat her to it.
Wiping away the tears on her face, Zhou Shengchen said calmly: "Don't worry, just believe my words."
"Yeah." Kao Shiyi breathed secretly and nodded.
Also knowing that Zhou Shengchen had other official business to attend to, Jian Shiyi sat with him for a while, then stood up and left.
When she arrived at the courtyard of the government office, she felt that everyone was very busy and she couldn't do much to help. Simply, she walked to the backyard to find Feng Qiao and others.
The government office occupies a large area and is divided into five front and rear courtyards. Beyond this, there are several side courtyards. As he searched all the way, he came to a side yard. This is where criminals are held, and the rebel leader, Liu Changshan, is being held here.
Because of this, the guards who guard him can be called strict. But when Yan Shiyi walked over to find him, he was shocked by what he saw in front of him.
That Yang Shao somehow rescued Liu Changshan and then held Feng Qiao hostage! The scene at this time was that Yang Shao and Liu Changshan each held a saber, and while resisting Feng Qiao, they scolded the other generals of the royal army next to them not to get close.
Jian Shiyi was immediately shocked by this situation, but he was even more worried about Feng Qiao's safety. She got along so well with this young senior sister that she couldn't help but take a few steps closer and said loudly: "Why are you doing this?!"
Feng Qiao looked worried and said quickly: "Little junior sister, step back quickly!"
Although Feng Qiao was held hostage, Yang Shao naturally knew that it was still extremely dangerous at this time - for him and Liu Changshan, it would be extremely difficult for him and Liu Changshan to stand out from the king's thousands of troops just by holding Feng Qiao hostage!
But there is a new turning point in front of us! Yang Shao was quite shrewd and knew that the little girl speaking at this time was Zhou Shengchen's beloved disciple!
For a period of ten years, Zhou Shengchen should be a disciple when he returns to the river. This is known to the world. Because Yang Shao was working close to Zhou Shengchen, he also knew how much Zhou Shengchen valued his young apprentice.
At this time, Yan Shiyi took a few steps closer, and Yang Shao made the most correct choice for him without hesitation. He rushed forward suddenly, grabbed Jian Shiyi's arm with his left hand, and the steel knife in his right hand was already on her neck!
Even though he often saw Wang's soldiers practicing, Ji Shiyi didn't have any martial arts skills - not to mention her, Feng Qiao was also kidnapped by Yang Shao's surprise attack.
Although Feng Qiao was out of danger at this time, she saw her little junior sister being held hostage by this evil man, and she was so anxious that she immediately shouted: "Don't let go of my little junior sister! Otherwise, I will cut you to death with a thousand knives!"
With a cold smile, Yang Shao said: "Of course I am guilty, but it has to be so. If anyone dares to force us, I will have no choice but to harm Miss Nao."
"You dare!" Feng Qiao grabbed a saber from the guard next to her and rushed forward.
"slow!"
When this sound came, everyone at the scene calmed down. Only Liu Changshan was more nervous - Zhou Shengchen had finally arrived!
Seeing him coming, Feng Qiao said eagerly: "Master, it was my incompetence that harmed my little junior sister!"
Waving his hand, Zhou Shengchen did not respond to her, but stared at Yang Shao and asked: "You rushed out of Yongcheng and asked for help everywhere but to no avail. I led my troops to rescue Yongcheng and treated you well. Why did you Are you kidnapping Liu Changshan again and trying to escape?"
"Your Highness, I know that I am ashamed of you and should indeed be cut to pieces. But I pride myself on my loyalty and cannot see Liu Changshan being executed. Because he has been kind to me before, I have no choice but to repay you in this way!" Yang Shao said very calmly. .
Before Zhou Shengchen could answer, Xiao Yan rushed over and shouted: "Yang Shao, you repaid Liu Changshan your kindness, but what about His Highness?"
With a long sigh, Yang Shao said with emotion: "In the future, I will definitely repay His Highness. But now, I have to do this."
Zhou Shengchen curled up the corner of his mouth, stared at him and said, "You seem to be loyal and brave, but you are very scheming. Can you still talk about the future?"
Yang Shao was stunned for a moment, but stopped arguing and said loudly: "Give us a carriage and let us go to Nanxiao! When we get there, I will naturally cast Miss Nao. As evidence from heaven and earth, I will never break my promise!"
"A person like you is worthy of being called 'Heaven and Earth'!" Hong Xiaoyu came over and shouted.
Zhou Shengchen waved his hand and said after a brief silence: "Okay, I promise you. But if you dare to be disrespectful to Miss Niao, I will let you and Liu Changshan die together immediately!"
After saying that, he immediately ordered Feng Qiao to prepare the carriage and horses: "You can't wait to follow, you still deal with your own affairs. I will personally 'escort' their party."
Feng Qiao and Hong Xiaoyu wanted to say something else, but Xiao Yan next to them immediately shouted: "Hurry up and get ready!" The two people did not dare to hesitate any longer and immediately obeyed the order and left.
"Eleven, don't be afraid. They don't dare to hurt you, I will always be with you." Zhou Shengchen comforted softly.
Yang Shao was naturally ashamed after hearing this. Although Liu Changshan was not out of danger at this time, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart: You are still saying these sweet words at this time, Zhou Shengchen, you are so big-hearted!
Jian Shiyi looked at Zhou Shengchen with tears in his eyes and said, "Master, I'm sorry."
"You are very brave and have done a good job." Zhou Shengchen comforted him again.
The carriage and horses were ready over there. Yang Shao carefully held Miao Shiyi hostage and got into the carriage under the angry eyes of everyone. Then the frightened Liu Changshan drove the horse himself and drove forward quickly.
Zhou Shengchen only wore a sword on his waist and followed him on horseback alone.
Feng Qiao, Hong Xiaoyu, Zhou Tianxing and others were about to follow, Xiao Yan shouted in a low voice: "What's the point of going like this?!"
Before they could recover, Xiao Yan immediately said, "I will send a memorial to the imperial court and personally lead an army to fight for and protect Miss Nao!"
Moving troops must have the permission of the court. No matter how anxious Hong Xiaoyu and others were, they could only listen to Xiao Yan's opinion.
Xiao Yan was also well-informed. After writing the memorial, he went to say goodbye to Gao Yuchao, King of Dingbei, and asked him to take charge of the place.
Immediately, Xiao Yan mobilized all 30,000 elite soldiers, transferred hundreds of thousands of troops from Xizhou, and rushed southward.
When the court heard the news, they were all shocked and didn't understand why such a thing happened.
Naturally, the young emperor Liu Hui had to obey the regent Zhou Shengchen. After careful consideration, the great Situ Xie Chong had no choice but to acquiesce in the matter. Prime Minister Liu Wei still looked at the Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen with a puzzled look.
"For a little girl, you have to work hundreds of thousands of troops to go south?" Qi Zhenzhen said unhappily.
"This is because, regardless of the safety of Shi Yi alone, there is also the regent." Xie Chong explained with cupped hands, "If Nan Xiao embarrasses His Highness, there are many royal troops across the river to deter him, and he can always protect the safety of the regent. "
He explained this way. At this time, Qi Zhenzhen was eager for something to happen to Zhou Shengchen so that he could take over the power alone.
