Empress with no Virtue Chapter 58: Rescue 2

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Queen Wude!

In the past few days, the capital has been in chaos.

The cabinet received an urgent military report from Jizhou, which contained a handwritten letter from Duoduo Ulatu of the Jurchen Ministry, informing the Qi court: Your emperor is in my hands. If you want the emperor to survive, just You must agree to my request. I don’t want much, one hundred thousand taels of gold, plus the territory outside Shanhaiguan, Liaodong are enough.

After Ye Xiu Ming read it, he was speechless. It is rare for a lion to speak so shamelessly.

Moreover, Duoduo was afraid that they wouldn't believe her, so she asked Ye Zhenzhen to have her fingerprints printed. However, the bad thing lies in this fingerprint.

——Ye Xiu Ming had never seen Ji Wu Jiu’s fingerprints, but he still couldn’t mistake what his own granddaughter’s fingerprints looked like.

Of course, as an old fox, he did not tell the truth immediately. Firstly, for the sake of Ye Zhenzhen's safety, if she was mistaken for the emperor, the other party would not dare to touch her; secondly, Ye Xiuming wanted to take this opportunity to deal with some annoying people.

The emperor is hunting in the north. The country cannot live without a king for a day. Some people may be ready to do something stupid.

So Ye Xiu Ming pretended to be worried these days. He cut half of the news sent by Ye Ting Ting from Liaodong and only released the news about Ji Wu Jiu's pursuit of Duo Duo Ulatu. When the two matched up, many people were convinced: The emperor had been kidnapped!

Some people in the court discussed establishing a new king. Among them, the Xu family is the leader and supports Tan Ji, the son of Princess Liyang, to inherit the throne. The Xu family was from Ji Wu Jiu's maternal clan and a close relative. Ye Xiu Ming was so impatient to find someone to take his place that Ye Xiu Ming felt a chill for Ji Wu Jiu.

Moreover, even the Queen Mother supported this decision. It is said that a mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles away. Not only was this Queen Mother not worried about Ji Wu Jiu, she was actually eager for him to abdicate. She was so heartless that it was unbelievable.

The Xu family hates the Ye family deeply. If Tan Ji is supported by them to ascend the throne, the Ye family will definitely be the first to be dealt with.

There is a person whose attitude is very important here - Fang Xiuqing.

To be honest, Fang Xiuqing was happy to see the Ye family being dealt with, but what he didn't want to see was Xu's gang of idiots taking charge of the country together with that big idiot Tan Ji. The combination of a foolish king and mediocre ministers is really a powerful weapon for ruining the country. If Tan Ji was supported by the Xu family and ascended the throne, Fang Xiuqing's strategy would be of no use.

Besides, there is only one letter and I haven’t even met him in person. Who knows if this Duoduo Ulatu is playing tricks? Ji Wu Jiu is an emperor, and no one has dared to ask him to have his fingerprints printed since he was a child. Who knows whose fingerprints are on this letter?

If you take a closer look at the fingerprint, it is smaller than that of a normal adult man. There is no way it could be Ji Wu Jiu's.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiuqing felt that she had discovered the key point.

Ye Xiu Ming, that old fox, almost fooled him into it!

Seeing that Fang Xiuqing was not stupid, Ye Xiuming was both very satisfied and a little disappointed with his reaction. The two tacitly suppressed the matter in advance, claiming to ensure the emperor's safety before discussing anything else. They ignored the clowns of the Xu family no matter how much they jumped around.

Are you kidding? The emperor is not here at the moment, and half of the military and political power lies with the Ye family and the other half with the Fang family. Who do you think the Xu family is? The Queen Mother is the elder, so I am afraid of you!

Ye Zhenzhen stood by the river and thought for a long time.

Two soldiers in the distance became impatient and shouted at her back: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Ye Zhenzhen came back to her senses, pretended to adjust her pants, then turned around and walked over. One of the soldiers complained, "You have peed for so long, even if there is a river, you have peed out."

"I want to hang out."

Dry? What to dry?

Do you still need to ask...

The two soldiers looked at Ye Zhenzhen and something was wrong immediately. Who in the right mind would hang out in the wilderness in broad daylight? Is this a new trend popular among the people in the Central Plains? Sure enough... The eldest prince is right, this emperor is a pervert!

Ye Zhenzhen ignored the changing expressions on the two people's faces. She walked towards her prison car. Just as she was about to get in, she found a man in civilian clothes standing among the heavily armed soldiers. He was wearing a neat blue t-shirt. , but also showing a bit of embarrassment. When Ye Zhenzhen saw his face, she immediately asked, "Li You?"

Li You also saw her. He walked up to her and cupped his hands, "Brother Zhen? Why are you here? You... are not Daqi's spies, are you?"

"I'm not a traitor, I'm a prisoner," Ye Zhenzhen replied, "What about you, why are you here?"

"I was also a prisoner. I followed a friend's caravan out to expand my horizons, but I never expected to be robbed by a group of cavalry. They asked me if I could heal my wounds, and then... took me captive."

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, Duoduo's military doctor was so embarrassed that it seemed that Li You was also unlucky enough. Thinking of this, she felt a sympathy for him. She patted his shoulder with a heavy face and comforted him, "Don't be afraid. They will let you go after they have used you."

"I'm not afraid. What about...you?"

"Me? I don't know."

At this moment, Duoduo suddenly walked over angrily and pulled Li You aside, causing him to stumble. Duoduo ignored Li You and yelled at Ye Zhenzhen, "Tell me! Are you the emperor or not?"

Ye Zhenzhen didn't even raise her eyelids, "Would you believe me if I said I wasn't?"

"I don't believe it!" He turned red with anxiety, rolled his eyes, and said suddenly, "Yes, they must not recognize your fingerprints, right?"

"Just say so." Ye Zhenzhen ignored him and boarded the prison car herself.

Duoduo thought about other ways to prove the identity of this dog emperor. This dog emperor didn’t bring a jade seal when he went out, nor did he bring any personal accessories...

No, he is wearing silkworm clothes! He had wanted to **** this thing away for a long time, but the dog emperor said that he would never see silkworm clothes again, so he wanted to wear it for a few more days. From this point of view, it is better to take off the silkworm clothes and send them to the dog officials of Daqi. When they see the silkworm clothes, they will definitely know that the emperor is in his hands.

***

Late at night, Ye Zhenzhen was **** in a tent. She just fell asleep when she realized someone shook her awake. She opened her eyes and saw that it was Li You. He is now wearing the armor of an ordinary Jurchen soldier.

Just when Ye Zhenzhen was about to speak, Li You made a silencing gesture to her. He untied the rope from her body, pulled her up, handed her a set of armor, and said in a low voice, "Follow me."

Ye Zhenzhen knew that Li You was here to save her. She hesitated. There were thousands of people outside, and it would be difficult for the two of them to escape. Once caught, Li You's life is in danger.

"You can go alone, they won't kill me for the time being."

Li You didn't listen to her and stared at her stubbornly.

Ye Zhenzhen didn't dare to say anything, so she had to put on her armor and let Li You pull her out of the tent.

When Ye Zhenzhen came out of the tent, she saw that several people guarding the place had been knocked unconscious by Li You. He pulled her and walked along the shadow of the tent, dodging the patrols one after another, and finally walked out of the camp. Ye Zhenzhen let out a long breath, and ran towards the vast darkness with Li You. However, not far away, the surroundings suddenly became bright with fire and extremely noisy.

Many Jurchen soldiers held torches and formed a circle. Duo Duo led them, and gradually the circle became smaller and smaller.

Duoduo walked up to the two of them and kicked Li You to the ground. He pulled out a machete and slashed at the people on the ground. Ye Zhenzhen rushed in front of him and opened her arms to block Li You, "Don't kill him!"

"Get out!" The knife held by Duoduo did not fall, but she did not withdraw it either.

"If you kill him, I will commit suicide. Then you won't get a penny, and it will cause a war between the two countries." Ye Zhenzhen threatened him.

Li You tugged at the corner of her clothes and said, "Brother Zhen, please leave me alone."

"You ended up in this situation because you were trying to save me. I can't just die without saving you," Ye Zhenzhen said, looking at Duoduo, "How about it, I will do what I say."

Duoduo took back the knife, "It's just a Han man's life, what's the big deal." He said, greeted the two people, and dragged Li You down. After doing this, he looked at Ye Zhenzhen and said, "You, follow me."

Ye Zhenzhen got up and followed Duoduo back, and he took her directly back to his tent.

As soon as Duoduo entered the tent, she rushed over to untie Ye Zhenzhen's clothes. Ye Zhenzhen was startled and pushed him away violently, "What are you doing!"

"Take off the silkworm clothes. I don't believe it. When they see the silkworm clothes, they can still believe that you are in my hands."

"I'll take it off myself, you get out."

Duoduo became a little impatient, "Why do you act like a little girl!" As she said this, she walked out of the tent.

The silkworm clothes were not easy to understand. After tinkering for a long time, Ye Zhenzhen finally took them off. But before she could put on the armor, Duoduo suddenly walked in, "I told you to take off—"

The rest of the words were not spoken. Duoduo opened her eyes wide and opened her chin wide, looking at the person in front of her. She was only wearing a layer of underwear, and there were two abnormal bulges on her chest. When he suddenly saw her, she panicked and covered her chest with the silkworm clothes in her hand.

"You! You are a woman!" Duoduo said in shock.

"No, no, I just...my chest muscles are bigger." Ye Zhenzhen tried to explain.

"You still want to lie to me!" Duoduo was very angry, "Woman, woman?! How can a woman be the emperor? You are not the emperor!" Feeling the malice of the world, he walked up to her angrily and grabbed her Her collar, "Tell me, who are you!"

"I, that..."

Duoduo suddenly drew a knife and wanted to chop her!

Ye Zhenzhen didn't wait for his knife to be raised before she screamed, "I said!!!"

"Say!"

"I, um...me, although I am not the emperor, I am still close to it."

"What do you mean?"

"I am the emperor's mother, the Queen Mother."

"..." Duoduo said angrily, "You lied to me again! The emperor's mother is nearly forty years old at least this year, how can she be as young as you!"

"Really," Ye Zhenzhen looked at him sincerely, "I am good at beauty. There are six imperial doctors in the imperial hospital who are responsible for beautifying me. You also know the medical skills of the people from the Central Plains."

When Duoduo thought about it, this seemed to make some sense. But he was still very doubtful, "You said you are the Queen Mother, what evidence do you have?"

"The evidence is this silkworm garment." Ye Zhenzhen threw the silkworm garment into his arms, "My son is a well-known filial son. Besides me, who else in the world can make him ignore himself? An Wei, let me wear the silkworm clothes?"

This reason is very tenable. Duoduo had already believed it for five minutes and then hesitated, "Where is his wife?"

Ye Zhenzhen smiled coldly, with a sense of majesty and contempt in her serious face, "That little bitch, she deserves it!"

Duoduo suddenly remembered another thing: when he first met the person in front of him, she took advantage of him and wanted to be his mother. Now it seems that it was probably because this person had a son as big as him. .

In this way, she is probably the Queen Mother.

Seeing that Duoduo believed her, Ye Zhenzhen said again, "Don't be sad. Although the Queen Mother is not as valuable as the Emperor, she is better than nothing."

That's all it can do now. Duoduo put away the silkworm clothes and thought to herself, the Dog Emperor is a filial son, but now that he has kidnapped his mother, he must have no choice but to agree to so many people asking him for money.

When Ye Zhenzhen walked out of the tent, she found that she was sweating all over her forehead, and was blown away by the night wind, which made her feel cold. She wiped it on a few times and returned to her tent, recalling the dangerous scene just now. What she was thinking was that she was lucky enough to find out the identity of the Queen Mother out of desperation. Firstly, Duoduo did not dare to take her life, and secondly, he would not have any other evil thoughts towards a forty-year-old woman.

Ye Zhenzhen thought about Li You again and didn't know what happened to him. He has medical skills, so there shouldn't be any danger for his life for a while. If she is rescued later, he will be rescued as well.

***

Capital.

The cabinet received another urgent note. This time Duoduo Ulatu changed his story and claimed that the person who had been kidnapped was the Queen Mother. This is even more ridiculous. The Queen Mother is staying in the palace peacefully. It can be seen that this person is a liar, and a very obscure liar.

When the Queen Mother heard about this, she was so angry that smoke came out of her nostrils. However, Ye Xiu Ming deliberately made the news known to the whole court. Some imaginative ministers somehow came up with a story about the Queen Mother secretly leaving the palace and being kidnapped. The more rumors spread, the more evil it became. The Queen Mother had to listen to politics behind the curtain for the first time in her life in order to set the record straight.

Ye Xiu Ming made trouble for the Empress Dowager, and secretly sent an envoy to contact the Jurchen envoy. He did not deny in advance that the Empress Dowager was abducted, but first inquired about the price, and then slowly thought of a solution.

Here, Ye Zhenzhen transformed from an emperor to a queen mother, and was entertained by the Jurchen army with delicious food and drinks.

As for Ji Wujiu on the other side, he was marching on the vast grassland and did not know the situation in the capital. He was hung up on the belief of "finding Zhen Zhen" every day, and he was so energetic every day that he was a little abnormal. Lu Li was afraid that he would suddenly learn something terrible and go crazy again, so he was always ready to knock him out.

However, although Ji Wu Jiu was anxious, he still controlled himself very well. He couldn't make any problems, he had to calm down, and only then could he find Zhen Zhen.

At this time, Ji Wu Jiu was standing by a river, hands behind his back. The river is not very wide and flows from east to west. It is like a silver ribbon floating slowly on the flat and open grassland. Ji Wu Jiu looked at the red sun at the end of the long river and sighed slightly. Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen, when can I find you?

We haven’t seen each other for only ten days, but it seems like ten years have passed.

If I don’t see you again, I’m afraid I’ll really go crazy.

Lu Li walked to him and stood side by side with him. After a moment of silence, Lu Li said, "Your Majesty, actually, I have always wanted to say something to you."

"Please speak."

"You...there is absolutely no need to be jealous."

Ji Wu Jiu withdrew his gaze and turned to look at him. The man in front of him was tall and handsome, with a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows. When he looked at Ye Zhenzhen, he would always lower his head unconsciously, revealing a tenderness that he himself could not detect.

Seeing that he did not answer, Lu Li explained to himself, "Zhenzhen has married you. You two are a legitimate couple. No one else can take her away."

"You like her." Ji Wu Jiu suddenly said.

Lu Li was startled, not expecting the other party to suddenly say this. He lowered his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"But you are right, she is mine and no one else can take it away from her. Zhen Zhen is so cute, it is normal for other men to miss her." Ji Wu Jiu didn't think about the issue of first come, first served. .

Lu Li smiled bitterly and said, "I do like her. But what's the use. My cousin is just a piece of wood. She probably never thinks about whether I like her or not."

Ji Wu Jiu couldn’t agree more with this statement.

Lu Li sighed again, "If she really had some affection for me, I would have asked my uncle to marry me even if I risked my life."

Hearing this, Ji Wu Jiu felt lucky that Ye Zhen Zhen was not enlightened. If this woman had awakened early, it would probably not be Ji Wu Jiu's turn.

"She and I have no fate or connection in this life, so I just admit it. I only regard her as my sister now. So," Lu Li raised his head and looked at Ji Wu Jiu solemnly, "I now treat her as a brother. Please, please be kind to my sister. Zhen Zhen is spoiled and has a bad temper, but...she is indeed a rare girl."

"I know. She is my wife, so I will naturally be good to her." It's so good that I can't even control it, Ji Wu Jiu thought mockingly to himself.

The two fell silent again. Ji Wu Jiu walked along the river for a while. When he lowered his head, he saw a pile of stones at his feet arranged into strange shapes.

"What is this?" Lu Li couldn't understand either.

Ji Wu Jiu picked up two stones and filled the gaps in the pile of stones. A simple graphic of a leaf appeared before them.

"It's Ye Zi, it's Zhen Zhen!" Lu Li was a little excited, "Your Majesty, they did stop here. We didn't go the wrong way, they did go to the hinterland of Ulan tribe."

"I knew it," Ji Wu Jiu straightened up, with a happy face, "notify everyone to set off immediately and march through the night. We must catch up with the remaining Jurchens as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

The group traveled all night, and in the early morning of the next morning a soldier caught up with Ji Wu Jiu on horseback and said, "General Wu, the chickadee you asked me to take care of suddenly became restless and struggled to get out of the cage."

Ji Wu Jiu knew what this meant. He quickly asked the team to stop immediately and rest on the spot. We all traveled all night and were indeed exhausted. But Ji Wu Jiu was in high spirits. He considered that if he approached on horseback, the enemy might be on guard, so he decided to take a few experts to find out Ye Zhenzhen's specific location. Two **** had their legs tied with thin strings and tied to the arms of Ji Wu Jiu and Lu Li respectively. Two secret guards and four bodyguards followed them.

Sure enough, almost ten miles ahead, they saw the Jurchen army's camp.

Ji Wu Jiu looked at the tents from a distance and was very excited. Zhen Zhen is inside...

Can't go, can't go now. He clenched his fists tightly, Zhenzhen, wait one more day, and we can meet tonight.

Ji Wu Jiu was afraid that if he continued to watch, he would be tempted to rush in, so he made a prompt decision and led everyone back. After resting, they marched again in the afternoon, carefully following each other.

With 10,000 elite troops against 4,000 defeated troops, this battle is guaranteed to win no matter how hard it is fought. But considering Ye Zhenzhen's safety, tactics had to be carefully arranged.

Ji Wu Jiu brought many dried mandala flowers with him. This herb can induce narcosis and fainting, so this is where it comes in handy. It is spring now, and the southeast wind is blowing on the grassland. As long as the datura flowers are lit in the southeast direction of the enemy, if not all of them will be stunned, at least most of them will be paralyzed.

When the time comes, they will first sneak into the enemy camp at night to rescue Zhen Zhen, and then have people raid the enemy camp and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Zhen Zhen, I will come to rescue you right away.

Ji Wu Jiu has never looked forward to the arrival of night so much.

The author has something to say: Thank you Shuangyu for the mine, okay.

Let’s have a feast in the next chapter,~(≧▽≦)/~la la la
