Chapter 367 Let him come out to see me!
The Prince of Chenliu had a total of 50,000 soldiers under his command, and these 50,000 soldiers were called the Chixiao Army.
Qiu Lei loved martial arts since he was a child and got along very well with the soldiers in the barracks.
As early as two years ago, Prince Chenliu handed over the military power to his second son Qiu Lei. Now the entire Chixiao Army obeys Qiu Lei's orders.
Qiu Lei rushed into the military camp on horseback, mobilized five thousand soldiers and horses as quickly as possible, and rushed to the palace in a mighty manner.
Inside the palace.
After the doctor's treatment, Prince Chenliu gradually regained consciousness, but his body was still very weak and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Qiu Yuan asked the doctor to go down first.
After everyone left, only Qiu Yuan and the Chenliu King and his son were left in the room.
Qiu Yuan stood beside the bed, looking coldly at the dying man lying on the bed.
Prince Chenliu seemed to have noticed something. He looked at his eldest son in front of him and felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
He spoke with difficulty: "You...you..."
Qiu Yuan thought he would be very nervous, but unexpectedly, he was very calm.
From the time he was born till now, he has never been so calm.
"Father, we just found out that there is something wrong with your medicine. We suspect that the prince tampered with it."
With just a few words, Prince Chenliu immediately understood the profound meaning behind it.
He used all his strength to force out a few broken words.
"You...you don't...do anything rash!"
Qiu Yuan said leisurely, "You should tell this to your second brother. When he found out that the prince had tampered with your medicine, he was so angry that he lost all his reason and immediately ran to the prince to settle the score."
Prince Chenliu's breathing became more and more rapid, his chest heaved violently, and a hoarse sound like a broken bellows came from his throat.
"He...he is your...brother, you can't...harm him!"
Qiu Yuan chuckled: "Look at what you said, how dare I harm him? He is your precious child, you even gave him the position of the crown prince, he can do whatever he wants, who can control him?"
Prince Chenliu stared at his eldest son in front of him, his eyes full of bloodshot.
Qiu Yuan bent down, covered him with the quilt, and patted his chest gently.
"Don't worry, father. My second brother has the military power you gave him. The 50,000 Red Sky Army is enough for him to walk around in Chenliu County. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not dare to confront him head-on. He will definitely not suffer any loss."
Prince Chenliu tried hard to speak, but his body was too weak. He could only squeeze out a few words, which was already his limit.
At this moment he couldn't utter a word.
He could only stare at Qiu Yuan with red eyes.
Qiu Yuan stood up and looked down at his father lying on the bed.
In his memory, his father had always been tall and strong, like an insurmountable mountain that he could only look up to.
However, my father is now very old.
At this moment, he was like an old tree that was about to wither. His skin was sallow and full of wrinkles. He was so thin that only skin and bones were left. It seemed that he would break and die with just a slight push.
Qiu Yuan sighed softly: "Father, you are already old, don't worry about those trivial matters anymore, just have a good rest, I will come to see you another day."
Prince Chenliu wanted to call out to him and ask him to stop, but he could only make hoarse sounds even though he used all his strength.
When he walked out of Changshengju, Qiu Yuan found that it had started snowing again.
He said to the butler waiting outside the door, "Take good care of our father and don't let irrelevant people get close to him."
The butler responded respectfully: "Yes."
Qiu Yuan put on his cloak, opened his oil-paper umbrella, and walked into the wind and snow.
…
Qiu Lei led five thousand Chixiao soldiers and rushed to the gate of the palace with great momentum.
Qiu Lei gave an order and ordered his men to surround the palace.
Upon seeing this, the Yulin Guards who were in charge of guarding the entrance and exit of the palace immediately stepped forward to stop them, but were tied up by the Chixiao Army instead.
Qiu Lei pointed at one of the Yulin guards.
"Go tell the prince to come out to see me! If he doesn't dare to come out, I will lead my men to rush in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Chixiao Army released the Yulin Guard.
The Yulin Guard quickly ran into the palace and reported the matter to Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian first found a high place to look outside and saw that there were indeed a lot of Chixiao soldiers surrounding outside, and there were probably about five thousand of them.
His heart sank and he immediately went to find the prince.
In the end, the prince was not found, but Eunuch Chang was found instead.
Eunuch Chang is now having people pack their luggage. According to the prince's plan, they will set off for the capital tomorrow. Right now the entire palace is in a mess, with palace maids and eunuchs walking back and forth everywhere.
He was quite surprised to see Zhao Xian coming.
"Why is Commander Zhao here? Is there something wrong?"
Zhao Xian said seriously: "Qiu Lei brought his men to surround our palace!"
Eunuch Chang was shocked: "What's going on? Why did he bring people to surround us for no reason? We didn't offend him!"
"I don't know why, but Qiu Lei said that he would ask the prince to go out and see him. If the prince doesn't show up, he will lead his troops to break into the palace."
Eunuch Chang was immediately furious: "How dare he threaten the Crown Prince?!"
"Where is the prince? I must report this matter to the prince, and he will make the decision."
Eunuch Chang frowned and said, "The Crown Prince went out with Concubine Xiao early this morning. General Xiao also brought 20 Jade Lin Guards to follow behind the Crown Prince to protect his safety. They haven't returned yet."
Zhao Xian said with a gloomy face: "What should we do?"
Eunuch Chang thought seriously and said: "The eldest prince is still in the palace. I will go to him to see if he has any ideas. You find a way to have someone sneak out and tell the prince what happened here."
"Okay, let's do this for now!"
Zhao Xian left in a hurry.
The eldest prince Luo Yechen was out drinking all night last night and didn't come back until dawn.
At this moment he was still sleeping soundly in bed, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
It was not until someone knocked hard on the door that Luo Yechen was awakened from his sleep. He yelled angrily, "What are you arguing about? You guys have ruined my good dreams!"
Eunuch Chang pushed the door open and strode in.
"My Lord, something terrible has happened. The Second Young Master of Chenliu Palace has led the Crimson Sky Army to surround our palace!"
"Just surround us, it's none of my business!" Luo Yechen turned over and continued to sleep.
After a moment, he sat up suddenly, his eyes wide open in disbelief.
"What did you just say? Our palace is surrounded? Who is so bold as to surround our palace? Does he think his life is too long?!"
Eunuch Chang said quickly, "It's the second son of the Chenliu Palace. He asked the prince to go out to see her. If the prince doesn't show up, he will bring people in. But now the prince is not in the palace, and you have the highest status here. Please help me make a decision!"
