Chapter 161
There are eleven "Chai family members" recorded on Han Ruzi's list, but there are as many as twenty-three people gathered together - family relationships can be cultivated, and some people hope that they can pass many tests and be recognized by the Chai family. One of the most powerful circles of honor and honor in the capital.
What they're going to do tonight is a test, and the participants are very proud because they're dealing with "household chores."
Since General Zhenbei's rectification, there has been no scene of singing every night in Xungui Camp. Like ordinary military camps, it has become quiet soon after dark.
At about three o'clock, figures walked out of different barracks, quietly walking to the same place, nodding to each other when they met.
They came to see Xiao Coin.
Xiao Bi is the nephew of Zuo Cha Censor Xiao Sheng, and the eldest brother married the daughter of the Chai family. The leader of the group "Chai Family".
He silently counted the figures in the night, and the twenty-three people invited all arrived on time, which made him very satisfied, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
Everyone lined up in two lines, followed behind Xiao Bi, and walked towards the gate of the military camp, with no swords hanging from their waists, like a group of soldiers who went to the warehouse to collect equipment.
But they didn't walk out of the barracks, they stopped in front of the first door on the right hand of the head, the others stood against the wall, and Xiao Bi raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Who?" A voice came from the room.
"Xiao Coin, looking for Chai Shen will have an important business negotiation."
After waiting for a while, the door opened, Xiao Bi pushed the door and entered, and the people behind filed in. The person who opened the door was Chai Yue's entourage. Consciously retreated to the corner and squatted down. The other entourage did not live here and escaped.
Chai Yue sat up from the bed, wearing armor, with the waist knife at hand.
The general's room was a little bigger, but it was full of more than 20 people. Xiao Coin stood in front of the bed and patted his palm lightly. Someone lit a small candle, and the room was not so dark. They can see each other's faces clearly.
Xiao Bi looked at the person on the bed and said, "We didn't bring any weapons."
Chai Yue hesitated for a moment, then moved the knife to the side.
"Have you made a decision?" Xiao Bi asked.
Chai Yue hesitated for a while, "Can't we wait for the Huns to be surrounded and wiped out?"
"It has nothing to do with the Huns." Xiao Bi said coldly, "This is to prove whether you are from the Chai family."
"My last name is Chai." Chai Yue is more qualified to be called "Chai Family" than most people in the house.
"But you betrayed the Chai family and the princess." Xiao Bi bent down slightly and stared into Chai Yue's eyes, "Everyone is here, can you explain why you went to rescue Juan Hou ten days ago?"
"Cui Teng found me, and it is my duty to rescue the coach."
"What about the responsibilities of the Chai family? When the princess vowed revenge, were you not there?"
Chai Yue was speechless. After a while, he knelt down on the bed and said sincerely: "At that time, the rumors were rampant, but now the facts are very clear. The general has nothing to do, he just happened to be there."
"He also happened to escort the Jin family brothers and sisters north, just to let them enter the grassland, and just to let them lead the Huns to attack Da Chu. Chai Yue, we have already made it clear: the Jin family is an enemy, and so is the Marquis Juan."
Chai Yue was silent.
Xiao Bi took out a letter from his arms, "This is a letter from the day before yesterday, handwritten by the princess, she still doesn't know about you saving Hou Juan, but she is already very angry with you, because you seem to be determined to be Hou Juan. loyal servant."
"This is the war between the Great Chu and the Huns, not the time for the Chai family to take revenge." Chai Yue made a final attempt.
Xiao Bi sneered and handed the letter over. Chai Yue shook his head and didn't answer the letter. He believed it was true, and he could guess what the letter would say.
Xiao Bi put away the letter, "Stop talking nonsense, you still have a chance, either go to attack the general's mansion with us, or kill yourself with your knife, and apologize to the princess with death, we will testify for you."
"Attack the General's Mansion?" Chai Yue's first reaction was not her own life and death, but the audacity of this group of "Chai family members".
"Do you think we won't succeed?" Xiao Bi asked coldly.
"Since the assassination incident, there have been at least a hundred guards patrolling the general's mansion every night. It's impossible, you can't succeed."
"Hey, everyone says that Chai Yue is the best at judging the situation, how could he become stupid? Marquis Juan thinks he is still the emperor, and regards his honor as a must. From Shenxiongguan, Feng Shili, the right general of the Northern Army, wants to avenge his nephew, and will soon lead his army to Broken Iron City in person.
"You don't have the surname Chai, so why go into muddy waters?"
Xiao Bi sneered, and someone behind him said, "What nonsense are you talking about, Chai Yue, don't you have the guts to take revenge, and don't have the guts to apologise yourself?"
Chai Yue let out a long sigh, stretched out his hand for the waist knife, held it horizontally in front of his chest, and drew the knife out of its sheath. Xiao Bi and others involuntarily leaned back, fearing that Chai Yue would make a desperate fight.
Chai Yue didn't have this idea, and stared at her knife in the dim candlelight, "I can kill myself, but please stop here, Da Chu can't stand the toss, and should work together to deal with the Huns..."
"Don't make excuses for your cowardice." Xiao Bi interrupted Chai Yue.
Chai Yue sighed again, held her breath, and was about to slash her neck to commit suicide when a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside.
"Chao Hua."
Everyone was shocked. Chao Hua was the main commander of General Zhenbei, and Xungui and Xungui had always kept the water from the well.
Xiao Bi said angrily, "Chai Yue, do you dare to leak?"
Chai Yue looked blank, "It's not me, even if I don't care about my life and the reputation of the Chai family, I can't let go of my mother and brother in the capital."
It was because her mother and fellow brother still stayed in the Chai Mansion in the capital, Chai Yue could only choose to commit suicide to "apology", and Xiao Bi and others also dared to come and threaten her.
"What should I do?" someone asked quietly.
"Kill Chai Yue and rush out."
"Don't be ridiculous, we haven't got together yet, let's ask him what's the matter."
It was the man at the door, who forced himself to remain calm and asked, "What is General Chao here for?"
"A letter from Shenxiongguan, General Zhenbei sent me to invite General Chai to go to Fuzhong to discuss matters, uh, hurry up, General Zhenbei is in a hurry."
More than 20 people in the room began to whisper again.
"He's lying, it's not him who usually comes to invite people."
"It's midnight, maybe he's on duty."
"What should I do? Are you going to rush out?"
"Who can see if there are other people outside?"
"It's like... just him."
"Shh, keep your voice down."
The room was quiet, and the knocking on the door became impatient, "General Chai, please leave immediately, General Zhenbei is waiting for you in the mansion."
Xiao Bi raised his arms and signaled everyone not to make a sound. First, he said loudly: "It'll be fine right away." Then he said in a low voice, "Let Chai Yue go to the General's Mansion.
Xiao Coin is the leader, and no one objected to the decision he made, even if someone felt inappropriate, he would not say anything.
Xiao Bi said to Chai Yue, "Don't talk too much, otherwise..."
"I don't even want my life, how can I talk too much?"
Xiao Coin turned sideways and signaled the others to squeeze to the sides to get out of the passage. He suddenly remembered that the candle was still burning, and hurriedly turned around to blow it out.
Chai Yue, fully equipped with clothes and shoes, walked past the crowd, opened the door, and said to Chao Hua outside, "General Chao will be waiting for you."
Chao Hua stood a few steps away and said coldly, "I'll be fine as long as I wait, General Zhenbei is more anxious."
One of them is a member of Xungui's family, and the other is the leader of a fisherman.
Chao Hua didn't say more, took the lead and walked outside the camp, and asked casually, "What's going on, the Xungui Camp doesn't even guard the gate?"
"Probably hid and rested. When it's dawn, I'll investigate who should be on duty." Chai Yue had to cover the "Chai family" in the room.
His residence was not far from the camp gate, about ten steps away, and he was stunned as soon as he walked out of the gate.
The streets were full of soldiers, all of which seemed to be the work of General Zhenbei.
Chai Yue turned to look, hesitating whether to remind Xiao Bi and others.
Chao Hua made the decision for him and pushed him on his shoulder, "Come on, General Zhenbei is already waiting."
Chai Yue half pushed and half walked towards the general's mansion, but she was still uneasy. His current actions were to betray the Chai family. Although he was forced to betray, the Lord of Hengyang would not care. The son of the concubine will not let go of the concubine and son in the house.
"I can't see General Zhenbei." Chai Yue turned around and ran towards Xungui's camp, and pulled out his waist knife, not to protect himself, but to die in front of Xiao Bi and others to save the lives of his mother and brother.
Without saying a word, Chao Hua rushed forward and knocked Chai Yue to the ground. Several soldiers came up, grabbed their waist knives, and dragged him towards the general's mansion.
Chao Hua didn't follow, and made a few gestures. The soldiers of the tribe walked into the unguarded Xungui camp with swords and guns.
Chai Yue was taken into the hall of the General's Mansion, where an oil lamp was lit, and there were generals and officers standing on both sides, including King Donghai and Cui Teng, and General Zhenbei sat on the main seat and said to Chai Yue: Da Chu, or the Chai family, you have to make a choice."
Chai Yue knelt on the ground, covered in cold sweat, "My biological mother and brother are all in the Chai Mansion..."
Han Ruzi leaned forward and said, "If you are dead, they are still in a precarious situation. If you are alive, you still have the hope of making meritorious deeds and saving them from the sea of misery. Chai Yue, the world is about to be in chaos, to protect the country or to protect the family, you have to do it right away. Decide."
"Big chaos?" Chai Yue didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
Han Ruzi had been holding an official letter in his hand, and it was his original plan to capture all the "Chai family", but this official letter arrived unexpectedly.
"There were riots in many counties and counties in the Guan, and the general ordered Broken Iron City to immediately send troops to destroy the Huns, and then enter the Guan to quell the chaos."
The "autumn riots" predicted by Lin Kunshan, a looker, really happened.
