Chapter 32 Phoenix Feather

In just a few months, there have been two major disasters in the court, and since then, no one has dared to say no Chu Yuanshan.

The prince hinted that Emperor Yongle many times, and the Chu family sat up and threatened the imperial power, but Emperor Yongle did not care and asked the prince to salute to be determined.

Of course, the young and ambitious prince refused to be the puppet of Chu Yuanshan, secretly cultivating his own power and intending to compete with Chu Yuanshan.

Chu Yuanshan's old plan is full of tricks, and his eyes are all over the world. He doesn't know anything about the prince's little tricks, and there are often ministers who have accidents and lose their lives.

Chu Ruoxi looked at all this coldly and looked at it. From time to time, she looked for opportunities to make Chu Yuanshan's sense of crisis stronger, and the conflict with the prince gradually appeared on the terrace.

Zhao Qing'an returned to Beijing to serve as a lieutenant of the city gate. Although he did not participate in the formation of the party for personal gain, he was naturally regarded as a party of the prince because of the prince.

At night, the capital was very lively. Zhao Qing'an inspected the gates in casual clothes and found a small tea shop to rest.

"There have been continuous disturbances these days, and you can't be careless. I always feel that someone is staring at you in the dark." The source of the car lowered his voice and carefully stared at the endless flow of people around him.

Zhao Qing'an's face was indifferent, "Thank you for reminding me that Qing'an will be careful."

Che Yuan saw his indifferent expression and sighed secretly. Qing'an has always been young and has a shallow experience. He doesn't know how powerful the capital is.

Lin Sheng, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, supported the prince's bill and was deeply appreciated by his son, but he died because the carriage broke down and was trampled by the horse. It's really a good person who doesn't live long."

The light in Zhao Qing'an's eyes darkened. Brother Che was kind enough to make a point. In fact, he didn't want him to worry. He was almost plotted several times in private. Fortunately, there was no danger. However, he never knew who was the person who secretly helped him?

"Lin Sheng died in an accident. It's only to blame the groom for not being able to take a good carriage. It's a pity. It's getting late. Let's go to the North Gate again. Lord Chang didn't meet the moat soldiers the night before and was almost killed by a ruffian at the North Gate."

The two rode to the slightly secluded Beiyuan alley, and some cold light came. Zhao Qing'an exclaimed, "Be careful, there is an ambush."

With a wave of his arm, the sword hit the oncoming hidden weapon and immediately fought against the man in black falling from the dark.

Something is wrong!

Zhao Qing'an suddenly felt weak and unable to use it. With several rounds of the battle, a fishy sweetness surged up from his throat, and even the source of the car was like this. He was shocked: the previous tea was poisonous and he could not notice it.

"Qian, we..."

Che Yuan also felt something was wrong. He didn't finish his words and was forced off the horse by the man in black.

"Brother Che."

Zhao Qing'an blocked the man in black with a sword, and his eyes were black, and he almost fell off his horse. "Damn it, come to me if you have something to do. Don't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Several people in black had good martial arts skills. They saw that the two had a toxic attack and were refreshed. They mercilessly greeted them with the sword in their hands.

The situation is critical, but Zhao Qing is not worried at all. He is looking forward to the person who saved him several times. He really wants to know who that person is. Why did you save him?

Sure enough, when he was exhausted and was about to be killed by a knife, the man in black in front of him suddenly stopped his movements and fell straight down. He saw a white light flying in the air, one, two... The rest saw that the situation was not good, whistled and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Qing'an fell to the ground, spit out a mouthful of blood, and inserted his sword into the ground to support his body. "May I ask who is the master to help? Qing'an is very poisonous, but please see me."

Every time this person came silently and left silently, he deliberately said that he was highly poisoned, hoping to attract him to appear.

"Qian, you...are you all right?" Che Yuan was stunned by this sudden scene and worried about Zhao Qing'an, "Someone saved us."

Zhao Qing'an just nodded and looked around, looking forward to the appearance of the man.

After a while, a figure flashed from the dark, lifting the two up and going away.

For a moment, the two were taken to a room where the candlelight was dim and a woman turned her back to them.

"You are..."

The woman slowly turned around, and Zhao Qing'an opened her mouth in surprise. It turned out to be the confused woman she saw in Yipin Building that day. Isn't she the daughter of Chu Yuanshan?

"Why is it you?"

When Zhao Qing'an first saw her, he was happy, and then he was replaced by loss and asked her coldly.

Chu Ruoxi looked at the man in front of him and clenched his little hand into a fist. Isn't he really his seventh brother? But why does he look exactly like the seven emperors? He can come here across time and space. Is it possible that the seven emperors may also be sent to this year?

"Tate him down."

Zhao Qing'an saw that Che Yuan was taken away and stared at Chu Ruoxi, "Are you saving people? Or do you want to kill people?"

Chu Ruoxi smiled bitterly. If she had a choice, she would prefer to go back to 100 years ago to change the ending and save her close relatives.

"General Zhao, this is the antidote."

Zhao Qing'an looked at Chu Ruoxi's hand and did not answer, "If I guess correctly, you are the daughter of the Duke of Ding and the crown princess of the emperor. Why did you save me?"

The looming phoenix on Chu Ruoxi's wrist attracted his attention. He saw this phoenix totem once when he was ten years old, but since then, his father took him into the capital and never saw the woman again.

"It doesn't matter who I am, as long as it's not the one who killed you."

"Why did you save me?"

"Why don't you take the antidote first? Are you worried that this is poison?

The two were deadlocked for a moment. Zhao Qing'an put the antidote into his mouth and swallowed it. Gradually, it became not so difficult.

"Thank you!"

Chu Ruoxi smiled, "Don't you ask me why I saved you?"

Zhao Qing'an laughed, and his smile was very helpless, "You can appear at the moment of my life and death several times, and I secretly suspect that those killers were sent by you."

His smile was very sunny, which made Chu Ruoxi feel like a different world.

"Maybe you guessed it right?" Chu Ruoxi gently stroked the phoenix on her wrist and looked confused again.

"But I can't find a reason for you to do this."

"General Zhao likes to be suspicious, but I don't know whether General Zhao thinks what I'm going to do is to kill you or save you?" Chu Ruoxi smiled, but it was difficult to hide her faint loss.

Her appearance made Zhao Qing'an more confused. She was the crowned crown princess and extremely rich. Why did she look lonely when she saw her twice?

"No matter what you want, you have your purpose. If you save me today, if there is anything that does not violate moral requirements, I will be obliged to agree to you. Otherwise, I, Zhao Qing'an, will never be favored by you and do something harmful to heaven."

Chu Ruoxi smiled casually. She looked up at Zhao Qing'an with a naive face, "I don't know what you mean by morality? Does killing count? Does faith count? Does saving people's lives count?

"Of course, killing people does not count. Naturally, saving people should be done." Zhao Qing'an didn't even think about it.

"What if this person is extremely guilty, or even a thief? Is it right to kill him? And do you think it's a moral thing for you to save such a person?

Zhao Qing'an's handsome face frowned, and then smiled, "One hand covers the sky, has been self-interested, and has killed thousands of lives. Such a person may be a heinous person in the mouth of the crown princess. If you have a bad heart and intends to steal the country, of course you will kill him."

He looked at Chu Ruoxi with a joking face. How could she not hear that he was mocking his father? At present, the most important thing is to confirm his origin. Is he related to his previous life? Qiao Alin's use of his connections in the world has failed to find his foundation.

The more so, the weirder it is!

Chu Ruoxi said, "It's just a coincidence to save you today. According to the power of the Duke and the emperor's love for me, even if I want the stars in the sky, someone will help me get them down. Do you think I still need to take advantage of you so much?"

Zhao Qing'an felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He was actually a little disappointed. Yes, as the prince's concubine, the back of the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Dingguo, his own small city gate lieutenant was nothing.

"Previously, the last general was rude. First, he thanked the princess for saving his life. The last general was on official business and left first."

He felt that he was shameless and stayed here. shamelessness refers to face, identity and everything...

"General Zhao... Please wait a moment."

When Chu Ruoxi saw that he was leaving, as if he had lost something at once, he knew that he could not keep it, but he still opened his mouth.

She looked at Zhao Qing'an, and the sadness in her eyes inadvertently appeared again. She went forward to hand over a handkerchief to Zhao Qing'an and apologized to him who was a little stunned: "General, don't misunderstand. This veil is just a phoenix. When I was a child, I was saved by a senior who had such a phoenix, but I didn't know his coming. Li, who is the master?

Zhao Qing'an looked at the veil in his hand. He also saw this feather when he was a child, but only once. He looked at Chu Ruoxi suspiciously. I don't know if the foreign master she said has anything to do with that woman.

Chu Ruoxi said, "The general is a lieutenant of the gate of the capital and governs the gate of the nine cities. There are many people coming and going. Could you please ask the general to have a chance to help me pay attention to the figure holding this Fengling or with this icon appearing in the capital."

Chu Ruoxi felt that as long as Zhao Qing'an was related to Phoenix Feather, he would naturally guide Phoenix Feather; to find himself, who told him to look so much like the seventh emperor!

"Okay, this is not difficult. I will pay more attention to it in the end."

"There is one more trouble for the general." Chu Ruoxi was a little embarrassed, "This master has the intention to retreat, and he is bound to be unwilling to be too ostentatious. Please don't do this matter too blindly."

The two were talking when there was a sound outside, and the door of the courtyard was kicked open. "Quickly, the assassin is inside. His Royal Highness has a decree to bring the assassin to justice."

The yard suddenly lit up, and many officers and soldiers rushed in with torches, and there was the sound of sword collision. Chu Ruoxi looked at Zhao Qing'an puzzledly and thought, "How can officers and soldiers find this place? And did the prince issue the order himself?
