Chu Yungui knelt down and kowtowed. Seeing this, Chu Lingyi also struggled to get down.
Her leg was injured and she fell down.
"Chu Lingyi, thank you for saving my life."
Xiao Li glanced at Chu Lingyi's legs: "Alright, help your sister up quickly."
Chu Yungui stood up to help Chu Lingyi. Xiao Li asked, "What's wrong with her leg?"
Chu Lingyi was a little embarrassed. She clutched Chu Yungui's sleeve and whispered, "My... someone interrupted me..."
Chu Yungui quickly changed the subject: "May I ask your name, benefactor?"
Xiao Li waved his hand: "This question is not important. It's almost time now. Let me show you something interesting."
As she finished speaking, a rumbling sound was heard in the distance, and thick smoke soon rose from a place.
That is the direction of the center of Changzhou City.
Chu Yungui seemed to be thinking: "Is that Prince Xian's Mansion?"
Xiao Li nodded: "You guessed right."
Chu Yungui: "Judging from the sound, it must be gunpowder."
But how much gunpowder would it take to make such a big noise?
Chu Yungui looked at Xiao Li's expression. She had a satisfied smile on her face, as if admiring her own masterpiece: "Does the young lady have a grudge against King Xian?"
Xiao Li: "I guess so."
Xiao Li ordered his men to drop bombs on Prince Xian's mansion, and the number of bombs was enough to raze it to the ground.
She wanted to see how this group of people would fight her next.
She didn't know whether King Xian was dead or not after the previous shot. In fact, she really wanted to shoot Xu Nianqing at that time, but she was afraid of the same situation as Liu Xueyin before. If she couldn't kill him, it would be so embarrassing. It would be better to shoot King Xian.
Got it!
Xiao Li was preparing to lead his men to retreat to the military camp, but it was not appropriate to take the two siblings with him at this time.
"Let's say goodbye now. You two brothers can go on your own."
Chu Yungui looked at Xiao Li who was about to mount his horse and leave, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, are you going to let us go just like that?"
Xiao Li turned around in surprise: "Oh, you recognized me?"
Chu Yungui's eyes were gloomy. "The man who followed His Majesty before was Rong Qing, right? Although I haven't seen him for more than ten years, I can still recognize him."
Everyone knows Rong Qing's identity now, and there is only one woman in the world who can be protected by him.
The most important thing is Xiao Li's noble temperament, which is not something an ordinary woman can possess.
He was not sure about Rong Qing's identity before, he just felt that he looked familiar, and he was so focused on saving his sister that he didn't care about anything else.
But now all the clues came together, allowing him to make a bold guess, and obviously, he guessed right.
The most unlikely answer turned out to be the correct one.
Xiao Li chuckled: "Rong Qing's vision is not good enough. He only recognized your weapon but not you."
Therefore, the empress finally came to his aid because she recognized him.
"We, my brother and I, are deeply grateful to Your Majesty for saving us. Yun Gui is a humble man, but we are willing to serve Your Majesty at our utmost."
Xiao Li understood that he was saved by the emperor, and he felt uneasy because he could not repay the favor.
After all, he had just experienced the incident with King Xian and was saved by the emperor, so it was inevitable that he would think too much.
Xiao Li held up three fingers: "I saved you for three reasons. One, I admire your ability. Two, I hate King Xian. Three, I'm in a good mood."
"Chu Yungui, if you are willing to become my general, I will naturally be happy, but I will not use this kind of favor to threaten you."
She is short of talents, both civil and military officials, but what she wants is willing followers. It would be meaningless if they were forced to follow her.
"The Marquis of Changying has guarded the Longshengtian Gate for a hundred years. They are loyal and brave, and have worked hard and made great contributions. The Chu family has done enough for this world. I will not exploit the descendants of heroes."
"I don't know the details of what happened to the Chu family back then, but I am willing to believe that the Chu family is innocent. I don't care about the family rules of our ancestors, and I will not bear the sins of my ancestors and feel sorry for you."
"Saving you today is my way of paying respect to the loyal and brave generals of the Chu family who have died defending the country."
After saying this, he glanced at Chu Lingyi, who was stunned beside him. "It's not good for a girl to have a limp. If you can't find the best doctor, you can go to the capital to see the imperial physician Ning Chong. That old man is an expert in orthopedics. For my sake, let him give you a 20% discount."
After saying this, he flicked the reins and rode away in a dashing manner.
The others quickly caught up, leaving only the two siblings and a BMW.
They had walked so far away that the two siblings were still unable to recover.
Chu Lingyi was completely stunned: "Brother... is that the empress? The emperor?"
Just hearing about a woman becoming an emperor was shocking, but she saw it with her own eyes.
According to rumors, the empress was brutal, vicious, cold-blooded and murderous. She sounded like a monster with ten arms, baring fangs and claws, eating people.
But that beautiful and free-spirited woman just now, she is the empress...
Chu Yungui didn't say anything, but Chu Lingyi knew her brother. Although he was always cold and silent, he must be extremely upset now.
The two siblings hated the Chu royal family very much. Their grandfather was forced to commit suicide to atone for his crime, and their father and uncles were killed. They were taken away before they could even attend the funeral. They were also chased several times along the way, and they escaped with great difficulty. In the end, they changed their identities and lived a miserable life.
The Chu family was loyal and had made great contributions, but because of the emperor's incompetence, they ended up with such a miserable end. How could they not hate him?
However, the empress overthrew the imperial power as a princess and it is said that she even disowned her ancestors.
She said that she would not exploit the descendants of heroes, and that saving them was a tribute to the loyalty and bravery of the Chu family.
It is really hard to hate such an empress.
But the foolish emperor who had brought such misery to their Chu family was none other than her father. This was an irreconcilable blood feud.
Chu Yungui silently carried Chu Lingyi onto the horse. As soon as Chu Lingyi sat down, she saw a bag hanging in front of the saddle.
When he took it and opened it, he found that there was a whole bag of golden beans inside.
"Brother! Look!"
Chu Yungui saw it and said nothing. He put the golden beans back and kept them away.
"I'll take you to see a doctor."
In the art of war, attacking the heart is the best.
King Xian used a low-level method, asking his son to play some hero-saving-beauty and swearing-an-eternal-love scene with Chu Lingyi, hoping to use this to bring Chu Yungui under his wing.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yungui would rather break off relations with Chu Lingyi than participate in the rebellion.
As a result, they revealed their true colors, broke Chu Lingyi's legs, and tortured her to force Chu Yungui to show up.
The means are despicable and the character is also despicable.
The empress was different. She recognized and elevated the Chu family, showed kindness to them without asking for anything in return, and retreated in order to advance.
Even though you know that this is just her imperial technique, you have to agree with it and be impressed by her ability.
Top-notch means and virtues that are worthy of admiration.
This is just a meeting.
As expected, she is the first empress, so terrifying.
Xiao Li: What the hell?
