Chapter 972

Xiliang, the capital of the emperor.

Spring is the best afternoon.

The streets of the imperial capital are a bit more lively than usual.

A man dressed in black came from outside the city on a fast horse, which disturbed many passers-by.

Some dodged in fright, others hurled abuse in anger.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with the man in black.

He continued to push forward, trying to avoid the people in the city.

It was not until outside the palace of the empress in the imperial city that he took the reins and got off the horse.

The guards of the women's palace all knew him, and they made a salute with both hands clasping their fists and said, "Lord Lichun."

Lichun ignored them and almost ran into the front yard.

I didn't think about it. I just ran into someone in the front yard.

"Which one doesn't have eyes, it's killing me."

Spring heard the familiar voice, can not help but frown, some helpless way“ A girl's family should look like a girl's family! "

"Brother Lichun, how did you come back? Has general Shangguan triumphed? Why are you alone? What about the other brothers? " The little girl in red asked him a lot of questions after she saw who was coming.

Unfortunately, Lichun did not answer her.

"And your highness?"

"At this time, your highness should rest in the house." The little girl in red answered very quickly, but before she finished speaking, she left immediately.

Seeing this, she quickly trotted up with her, and said, "Hey, don't go! You haven't answered my question... Slow down, wait for me. "

Lichun turns a deaf ear to her words. When he arrives at Chu Liyuan's residence, he stops and says to the inside: "my subordinate Lichun, I'd like to see you in case of emergency."

Voice down, the room soon came, the voice of the woman cold.

"Come in."

Spring into the house, without saying a word directly knelt on the ground.

"My subordinates should die. I am entrusted by your highness."

Chu Liyuan drank the wine in the glass and asked carelessly: "but what happened at the border?"

"General Shangguan... General Shangguan, he's dead." The beginning of spring lips slightly white, difficult said.

Hearing this, Chu Liyuan's face suddenly changed, and the cup in his hand broke.

"Say it again."

"When the general led his troops to the battle, he mistakenly entered the trap set by the enemy. If he went with 5000 elite soldiers, he would never survive." The beginning of spring wrung eyebrow way.

Chu Liyuan holds the hand of cup fragment, after he these words, not from of tight a few minutes. With the increase of strength, the fragments penetrated deeply into her palm, and the blood fell to the ground drop by drop along her palm, but she didn't seem to know the pain and didn't mean to let go at all.

The little girl in red, who came into the room with Lichun, saw this and called with some worry, "Your Highness."

Chu Liyuan ignored her, looked at Lichun kneeling on the ground and asked, "where's the body?"

"Not found." The beginning of spring is like this.

"I didn't see the body. Who allowed you to say that he was dead?" Chu Liyuan gnaws his teeth.

Li Chun didn't dare to look at her. He bowed his head for a moment and then said, "the Wujiang River has been snowing for days, and the place where the general is in danger is suffering from avalanches. Even if the general is lucky not to die by the enemy's knife, the chance of survival is very low. After several days of searching and rescuing, the subordinates returned to the imperial capital and reported the matter to his highness. "

"Live to see a man, die to see a corpse. As long as I don't see his body for a day, I don't believe he died. Go back to Wujiang and give me orders to find him at all costs. Even if it's a corpse, bring it back to me. " Chu Liyuan mask frost, cold and light way.

Li Chun didn't say anything more, just answered her, "yes."
