Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Yuan Susu, peace and joy. ...
Yuan Susu has changed.
The kind of pressure that only belongs to Yuan Jiyin is something that can only be possessed after years of ups and downs in the treacherous court.
Suddenly, Susu put her hand on the back of his hand.
It felt a little cold, and she smiled and whispered teasingly, "Touch my hand, you're sweating!"
Shen Rang came back to his senses and curled his lips: "You did very well just now."
Yuan Susu sighed, "The Liangzhou guards are so burly, even the commanders guarding the city walls are so strong. I feel like they could easily kill me. I can't imagine how much trouble we'd have to endure if a real fight broke out."
"It won't come to this. Liangzhou Wei can only gather strength when Yuan Chan is here." Chen Rang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Oh? Tell me about it?" Su Su was a little interested.
Chen Rang chuckled softly, pretending to be mysterious: "You'll know after you see it today."
Su Su lifted the thick curtains and looked into the city of Liangzhou, shocked.
It is completely different from the poverty and dilapidated state of wealthy areas like Shangjing.
However, the people on the street look simple and kind.
The soldiers of Liangzhou Guard were also rebuilding many houses that were destroyed by the war.
Yuan Susu has always understood that history is profound.
Yuan Chan may never have been considered a good person when it came to treason, but it was certainly true that he treated the people of Liangzhou and his soldiers well.
What's more, since ancient times, nothing is black or white.
There have always been history books written by victors and losers.
When we arrived at the camp where the Liangzhou Guards were stationed, we were surrounded by layers of guards and military flags with the word "Liang" flying everywhere.
An atmosphere of majesty and solemnity gradually permeated the air, and the person standing at the gate waiting was obviously no ordinary person from afar.
He had a thick beard, was tall and mighty, and had two swords hanging from his waist.
His eyes were like a black bear that had been hungry for a long time, although with a bit of awe towards the royal family.
But more of it is disdain for women holding power.
After the carriage stopped, the man came over and said in a deep voice, "I am Batulu, the leader of the Liangzhou Guards' Xiong Division, and I have come to greet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Baturu.
After Yuan Susu and Shen Rang exchanged a glance, Shen Rang stood up first, opened the car door and got out.
He stretched out his arms to support His Highness.
Baturu snorted coldly, saying it was pretentious.
Suddenly, a slender white hand stretched out, its nails dyed red like petals in spring, and a bracelet jingled on its wrist.
Placing her hand on Shen Rang's arm, she bent down and got out of the carriage.
The biting cold wind from Liangzhouwei blew across her cheeks, and the fox fur cloak enveloped Yuan Susu's bright and beautiful cheeks.
She raised her willow-shaped eyebrows slightly, and her fox-like eyes swept over Baturu.
Just one look and Baturu felt unable to move.
It’s so beautiful, so breathtakingly beautiful.
But, beautiful women are like poisonous snakes in the desert.
Will kill people.
After Yuan Susu got out of the car, she opened her red lips slightly, and her eyes swept across Baturu like a knife: "Where is Hesheli? Why didn't he come to greet me?"
Baturu never thought that one day he would be scared by a woman.
His original momentum dropped a little as he looked at the woman whose arms were not even half the size of his palm.
"Your Highness, the Governor has hosted a banquet to welcome you and has specially ordered this general to come and greet you."
Yuan Susu chuckled lightly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. Her tone was cold and indifferent: "Even my uncle would have to bow to me when he saw me. This governor is even more powerful than the King of Anyang."
Baturu didn't know how to respond.
His Bear Division was not invincible on the battlefield, but also had great achievements.
Today, he was flustered by just a few words from the eldest princess who had been in charge of government for more than three years. He actually underestimated this woman.
Yuan Susu felt her legs were extremely weak, but she didn't dare show any fear on her face.
I can only rely on Shen Rang.
Chen Rang frowned knowingly, "General, why don't you lead the way? It's already cold, do you want His Highness to freeze here?!"
Baturu finally recovered and bent down to say, "Please."
Shen Rang supported Su Su and tried his best not to reveal any clues.
Soon, they entered a large tent.
There was singing and dancing inside, and it was very bright.
Baturu lifted the tent curtain for Yuan Susu and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, please."
As soon as Yuan Susu entered, the singing and dancing came to an abrupt end.
The carpet under my feet is very thick and soft to step on.
The man sitting in the seat directly in front of him had long black hair draped over his shoulders, with a few random black braids tied up with dyed and pierced finger bones.
He sat casually, his pupils were dark in color and his eye sockets were deep.
There is also a horizontal line above the left eye extending to behind the ear.
His lips were dark in color and he held a wine glass in his hand.
There were soft whips placed casually on the table, and Hesheli's whip was so powerful that it made the Jin people tremble with fear.
This person should be the current highest commander of Liangzhou Guard, Hesheli.
Yuan Susu was frightened when he suddenly raised his head and looked into her eyes.
There was a sinister, cruel and bloody look in Hesheli's eyes.
He is not someone who can be easily dealt with.
Yuan Susu couldn't help swallowing for a moment, she lowered her eyes and suppressed her timidity.
When she raised her eyes again, she had that arrogant and proud look on her face again, as if the timidity she had just felt was just an illusion of Hesheli.
He stood up and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, you must be very tired from the journey. Please forgive me if the hospitality is not good enough."
Yuan Susu was naturally very dissatisfied with such neglect. She said "hmm" softly and took a seat.
The situation became awkward.
Because the tent was still warm due to the burning charcoal fire, she took off her cloak and revealed her slender figure.
Such a stunning beauty would naturally make people unable to take their eyes off her.
Shen Rang looked at the drooling and staring looks from those people with displeasure.
I was so angry that I was going crazy, but I had to endure it.
Hesheli spoke first: "I wonder why Your Highness has come to Liangzhou this time?"
"The conspiracy of rebellion," Yuan Susu said, emphasizing each word, "has been, defeated!"
Suddenly, everyone in the tent looked at each other in panic.
"Where is the prince?" someone asked anxiously.
Yuan Susu said in a deep voice: "Our plan was exposed in advance. Now Uncle Wang and my brother are both detained in the capital. Wang Jun risked his life to escort me all the way out of the capital."
Hesheli frowned and looked at Yuan Susu and asked, "Why haven't we received any news from the capital?!"
"Oh, you really underestimated Shangjing's methods," Shen Rang said, "Someone in the capital is intercepting all letters sent from Shangjing. Naturally, you won't receive the request for help from Prince Anyang."
The Eagle Division Commander Alejiang angrily slammed the table and drew his sword towards Shen Rang: "You dog officials! I will kill you to avenge the prince!"
Suddenly, Yuan Susu frowned and said angrily: "How dare you!"
"You dare to touch my people?" She raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes were quite intimidating, and her voice was so frightening that it made people silence.
"Enough!" Hesheli glanced at the reckless generals with dissatisfaction, "Didn't the princess say that the prince was only detained? The emperor dared not act rashly under the intimidation of my 100,000 Liangzhou guards."
After these words were spoken, everyone quieted down.
Hesheli never thought that the woman in front of him was so powerful.
He was able to escape from Kyoto alive and arrive in Liangzhou safely.
He was even able to incite people from aristocratic families to rebel and use them for his own purposes.
I heard that this prince consort had gone to great lengths to deprive Yuan Jiyin of power in the court, but now he is willing to submit to her.
I'm afraid the eldest princess must still be holding a trump card in her hand.
Hesheli was a smart man. He asked, "I wonder what your Highness the Princess has to say?"
A man of insight is a hero. Now he only wants to rescue the prince and the crown prince, so he must rely on Yuan Jiyin.
Su Su said slowly, "Shangjing City is now impregnable. There must be a traitor among us. Otherwise, how could they have known about such a foolproof plan that Uncle Wang and I had drawn up in advance?"
traitor?
Everyone looked at each other, each with their own ulterior motives.
Judging from their expressions, the six invincible Liangzhou guards did not trust each other.
Then they must have a breakthrough point.
By then, if we can defeat them one by one, Hesheli will no longer be a threat.
Yuan Susu curled her lips, and her withdrawn gaze overlapped with the flickering candlelight.
Hesheli suddenly said, "Your Highness, is there not a single survivor among my 20,000 royal soldiers?"
"I don't know," Yuan Susu told the truth. "When I left, Wang Shucai was arrested and the capital was in chaos. If it weren't for my husband's connections, I wouldn't have been able to travel to Liangzhou quietly and independently."
"Princess, I believe it." Hesheli shifted his gaze to Shen Rang with deep eyes, trying to see through Shen Rang inch by inch like a snake and scorpion.
"But, Lord Shen is from an aristocratic family after all, and he holds a high position in the court. Are you rebelling?"
"I don't believe it," Hesheli turned around and looked at the commanders of the other five divisions sitting around him, "Do you believe it?"
They scoffed, "Of course we don't believe it. All the officials in the court are cunning. We dare not believe it."
"He is my man, what do you want to do?" Yuan Susu sensed the spreading dangerous signals.
Yuan Susu shuddered and held Shen Rang's hand tightly.
"I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess is a romantic and passionate person," someone teased after taking a sip of wine, "Isn't he just a man? Our Tiger Division's men are all fierce and brave, and Your Highness can choose whatever you want when the time comes, hahahaha..."
Suddenly, the Jinwu Guards took a few steps forward and drew their swords against the man who had spoken so arrogantly.
He cut off the man's hair that fell to his shoulders at an extremely fast speed.
"Who gave you the guts to talk nonsense about me? Huh?" Yuan Susu smashed the wine glass against the man's forehead.
The Jinwu Guards should not be underestimated.
Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, and also to let everyone present see that she, Yuan Jiyin, is not someone who can be defamed with dirty words at will.
She also held in her hands the most elite secret guards of the Great Zhou.
The number is a mystery, even the Liangzhou Guards cannot act rashly.
Hesheli spoke to ease the atmosphere: "Why don't you apologize to His Highness!?"
The man was extremely reluctant, even angry, but he had no choice but to kneel on one knee and said, "Please forgive me, Princess."
Yuan Susu didn't even bother to look at him, and said to Hesheli: "Seeing him is like seeing me, my people, don't move."
After the banquet, someone led Yuan Susu and Shen Rang to the tidied tents.
There must be someone eavesdropping here at night, so she and Shen Rang used their fingers dipped in tea to write messages on the table.
Shen Rang’s face was solemn: Hesheli did not fully trust us.
Su Su nodded: Each of the six groups has its own ulterior motives and can be defeated one by one.
Shen Rang frowned and pursed his lips: Master Xiong has been treated coldly for many years. If the Liangzhou Guards are reshuffled, Batulu will not easily give up his chance to turn things around.
Yuan Susu nodded in agreement: You want to start with Master Xiong?
Shen Rang didn't say anything but just hugged Su Su. He was really too tired.
But it seems that as long as I hold her, I can temporarily put aside any urgent matters.
"Susu," Chen Rang murmured, "I just want you to be safe and happy."
Coincidentally, me too.
