Chapter 308: Kill the enemy! The He family's children work together
"He Yuan!"
He Zhaojun felt a sudden warmth on her face, and then the stench of blood filled her nostrils. Before she could react, someone pounced on her horse and tumbled to the ground. The two of them hugged each other, stumbling and finally coming to a stop.
He Yuan raised his head from her arms. His hair was messy and his little face was dirty. Fortunately, he was held by He Zhaojun and did not suffer too many injuries.
He nervously pulled He Zhaojun from the ground: "Sister! Sister! How are you?"
He Zhaojun heard He Yuan's question in a childish voice and knew that he was fine, so she quickly reached out and hugged him. The two turned their heads and saw a burly headless male corpse lying on the ground not far away, and right in front of them was a huge human head, which was undoubtedly Hu Yanju.
He Zhaojun looked up at the sky. Hanging from the large trees lining the road was a nearly transparent thin thread. Blood beads on it were blown by the wind, rolling down. After shaking, they were completely hidden in the sunlight and almost disappeared.
This sudden change caused the soldiers and civilians watching from afar to exclaim in shock. Someone took the lead and said, "He Zhaojun killed Hu Yanju! She avenged General He!"
Suddenly, the crowd was in chaos.
What? A frail woman, fighting with Hu Yanju in the street, killing her father's murderer, and chopping off the head of a fierce Turkic general with a single sword?
Is there anything more inspiring than this?
They cheered, and the soldiers looked at each other, standing still and unwilling to disperse the crowd. They were all brave men, and seeing Hu Yanju having enough food and clothing all day long, they had already felt unfair for the soldiers on the front line.
Today, I was ordered to come and protect Hu Yanju, and I also had to make enemies with the He family. To put it bluntly, no one wanted to do such a job that would get them scolded. Moreover, Emperor Wen clearly said that Hu Yanju could not harm He Zhaojun, but he did not say that He Zhaojun could not harm Hu Yanju.
At this time, the situation on the street had been reported back to the Third Prince's Mansion, and Emperor Wen and others already knew the whole story.
Emperor Wen stroked his beard, slammed the table, and demanded of the kneeling Wen Ziduan, "You bastard! You still won't tell me? How did Zhaojun escape from the He family ancestral hall? How did you kill Hu Yanju? Tell me everything."
When Wen Ziduan heard the news, he was already grinning from ear to ear. When faced with Emperor Wen's questioning, he remained neither humble nor arrogant: "Your son, your son is terrified."
This seemed to be He Zhaojun's catchphrase at the time, but now Wen Ziduan said it without any guilt.
Concubine Yue and Empress Xuan listened with fear, while Shao Shang was also tied up and pressed aside. She muttered, "Your Majesty, why haven't you seen Sister Zhaojun yet?"
Emperor Wen was distraught. None of these youngsters were worrying about him. Even Shao Shang joined in the fun and made trouble. "Stop worrying about you. And Sister Zhaojun, do you think you can escape?"
After a while, Cao Cheng ran in, his forehead covered in sweat, but he still looked very happy, his mouth grinning from ear to ear: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince's wife has returned."
Emperor Wen also looked around and noticed Cao Cheng. He clicked his tongue and Cao Cheng realized something was wrong. He immediately put on a stern face and stood aside.
"I, the guilty minister He Zhaojun, pay my respects to you all." He Zhaojun was captured by the secret guards. She was not tied up, but she could hardly kneel. It was obvious that she was injured.
"Sister Zhaojun, are you hurt? Does it hurt a lot?" Shao Shang exclaimed, knelt down and moved forward, got close to He Zhaojun, and lowered his head to carefully look at the bloodstains on her cuffs and skirt.
