"Silly sister, I won't be able to control you anymore even if I want to..."

He looked at Zhong Duoduo, his eyes full of love for his sister.

She had already been crying like a tear. In her mind, all the past events emerged. She disguised herself as a man, ran out of the house secretly, and was caught by her brother. On the surface, she scolded her harshly, but in fact, she loved him so much...

She pesters her brother, but he always has nothing to do with her...

Whenever he gets into trouble, his brother always appears by his side as soon as possible...

"Brother..." she cried.

"Don't cry, don't cry, look at our little girl, she's not beautiful anymore."

He continued to comfort, holding Zhong Duoduo's little hand and Xiao Yuan's palm tightly together, then looked at Xiao Yuan and said:

"Brother Xiao, I want to ask you one last thing, help me take good care of Duo'er..."

"Brother Zhong, don't worry, I will take good care of my little sister." Xiao Yuan answered seriously.

"No, I'm not my little sister. I will protect Duo'er for the rest of my life."

"this……"

"Brother Xiao!" Zhong Bai was a little anxious. His eyes were full of expectation and his voice was hoarse: "Duo'er is my only concern..."

"I promise you!" Xiao Yuan couldn't bear to hear him finish.

"Okay, okay...I feel at ease when I die..." Zhong Bai let out a long breath.

Then, before Xiao Yuan and Zhong Duoduo could say anything, he took his last breath and shouted with difficulty:

"The soldiers of Yangzhou..."

"exist!"

Everyone responded in unison, and at the same time, all Zhong Bai's subordinates knelt on one knee, joined hands and clasped their fists.

"Go...to Qinzhou..."

He tried his best to raise his hand and pointed at his subordinates. As soon as he finished speaking, he could no longer hold on and his arm fell heavily.

"Master!!!"

All the subordinates were shocked and came forward one after another, gathered around Zhong Bai, knelt on the ground, and screamed sadly.

But the latter died of anger.

"Brother!!!" Zhong Duoduo cried loudly and suddenly threw herself on Zhong Bai.

Xiao Yuan clenched his fist fiercely and gritted his teeth.

He originally had no relatives in this world, but after Zhong Bai became sworn brothers with him, you can imagine how he feels now.

It wasn't until a while later that he stood up silently.

At this time, Liang Yuan's eyes were already red. When he saw Xiao Yuan standing up, he stood up too, clasped his fists and said: "Master Xiao! You just need to give the order, and your subordinates will be the first to enter the capital!"

Now, Zhong Bai and his elite subordinates naturally began to follow Xiao Yuan's lead. There is nothing to say about this.

But before Xiao Yuan could respond, Zhong Duoduo was already crying and said: "No! My brother is right, go back to Qinzhou!"

Although she may be quirky, the little girl is very smart!

Now is not the time to act on impulse.

In fact, everyone understands this.

Liang Yuan didn't speak for a while, but looked at Xiao Yuan without blinking, waiting for his next order.

It wasn't until a long while that Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, and then said coldly: "Go back to Qinzhou!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and picked up Zhong Bai, shouting loudly: "Let's go!"

He gave the order and walked at the front with Zhong Bai in his arms, followed by a large number of troops.

Zhong Duoduo gently tugged on his sleeves and followed him, with tears in her eyes.

Later, Xiao Yuan bought a good coffin in Yuyang, temporarily buried Zhong Bai, and the large army began to move towards Qinzhou.

Along the way, Zhong Duoduo waited beside Zhong Bai's coffin, heartbroken.

Xiao Yuan didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only remain silent.

Not long after, Liang Yuan came over and said tentatively: "Sir, we still have 20,000 Yangzhou troops. They are still in the military camp and have not been mobilized. These soldiers all followed the young master when he raised troops in Yangzhou. If we can

Knowing that something happened to the young master, all they need is a letter from the young lady, and they will definitely come to Qinzhou!"

The Yangzhou Army is Zhong Bai's direct army. The generals in the army are equivalent to Zhong Bai's retainers, and Zhong Duoduo is the miss of the Zhong family. As Liang Yuan said, now that his brother is dead, she only has one letter

, most of those generals will go to Qinzhou to find Xiao Yuan.

However, when Xiao Yuan heard this, he thought for a moment and said: "No, you find a way to inform those brothers and let them continue to stay in the imperial army."

"This... what your lord means is..." Liang Yuan said calmly.

Xiao Yuan glanced at him and didn't say much nonsense.

For Zhong Bai's direct generals to stay in the imperial army, this is undoubtedly equivalent to driving a nail!

Liang Yuan also reacted quickly, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "I understand! Let's arrange a letter."

"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded and said no more.

On the other side, there is the Golden Jade Palace of the Royal Palace.

When the news came back, Shang Rui's eyes widened after hearing it: "What!? Zhong Bai escaped?"

Lu Bolin and You Jian were kneeling below. When they heard this, their bodies tensed up. You Jian said: "Your Majesty, at that time, the ministers were ordered to arrest the Zhong family, but they encountered fierce resistance. At the same time, Zhong Bai

His subordinate Liang Yuan even led his men into the prison, forcibly abducted Zhong Bai, and then fled through the north gate."

"This, how could he be robbed?" Shang Rui said anxiously.

You Jian lowered his head and said: "At that time, there were no heavy guards near the prison, and the ministers did not expect that Liang Yuan would suddenly attack, so they were caught off guard."

"Trash!" Shang Rui yelled.

"Yes, it's because the humble minister is incompetent." You Jian said quickly: "In addition, according to reports from Yuyang, after Zhong Bai fled from the north gate, he rushed all the way to Yuyang, and his sworn brother Xiao Yuan led a large number of troops

The horses are already there waiting for help."

"Xiao Yuan? Is that the prefect of Qinzhou?" Shang Rui asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"He actually led troops to Yuyang! He, he, he, what does he want to do!?" Shang Rui asked repeatedly.

"This..." You Jian didn't know how to answer.

At this time, the concubine said: "Your Majesty, it seems that the Zhong family has long been intending to rebel. Otherwise, how could they have been so well prepared and even thought of their retreat."

"There is also Xiao Yuan who, without permission, mobilized troops to support the traitor Zhong Bai. He is already suspected of being treasonous."

"Yes, what my concubine said is absolutely true. So, what should we do now?" Shang Rui ran out of ideas again.

Hearing this, You Jian said: "Your Majesty and Madam, please rest assured. With the injuries on Zhong Bai's body, he will definitely not survive. Xiao Yuan should be held accountable!"

"Yes, yes, this Xiao Yuan is so bold!" Shang Rui followed.

"The most important thing now is not to solve Xiao Yuan's matter, but Zhong Bai's 20,000 Yangzhou Army."

The concubine said something, and then looked at Lu Bolin: "Master Lu, have you settled this matter?"

"Don't worry, Madam, I have taken over the military power of the Yangzhou army." Lu Bolin returned quickly.

"Okay." The concubine said, "Next, quickly clear away the remaining evildoers of the Zhong family."

Judging from the scene, it was the emperor Shang Rui who was making the final decision, and it was his concubine who was giving the orders one after another.
