Shen Qingjia was dressed in plain white and stood in the mourning hall.

Many guests came today to express their condolences, and they often expressed their regrets when they came.

Shen Qingjia found it a bit funny. When Zhou Nan was alive, these people probably didn't know Zhou Nan existed at all, but when they came today, they looked miserable, as if they knew Zhou Nan.

Shen Qingjia naturally knew what these people were here for.

The guests came one after another, and when they saw the eldest lady of the Shen family, they couldn't help but take a few more glances. After all, the eldest lady of the Shen family didn't have a good reputation in the past, but it's been a long time since I heard any news about her, so it was a bit strange.

Could it be that Miss Shen has changed her temper?
I have to say that although Miss Shen has a bad reputation and is old, she has a good face.

But the expression on her face was solemn, and it was obvious that she had a very good relationship with the deceased, so she felt heartbroken.

"Miss Shen, my condolences!"

Shen Qingjia didn't pay much attention to these people.

When the guests saw how rude the eldest daughter of the Shen family was, they ignored her and went to eat.

……

"Miss Shen is really arrogant. Talk to her nicely and ignore us at all?"

"Perhaps my brother is dead and I feel unhappy, which is understandable."

"The Shen family doesn't have a son? Suddenly he had one, and then he died. It's really pitiful."

"I still don't know how this Young Master of the Shen family died?"

"I don't know. I've never heard of this guy."

Chu You stood outside Shen's house. It was difficult for him to go in. When he learned that the Shen family was holding a funeral, he had been staying nearby.

I wonder how Qingjia is feeling at the moment, will she feel uncomfortable?
Chu You was a little worried. He wanted to take a look, but he couldn't go in. Qingjia was already very depressed at the moment. If he appeared in front of her, it would only make her more troubled, so he could only stay nearby. I learned a little bit about her from the mouths of passing guests.

Knowing that she was in bad condition, he couldn't help but feel more worried. He really wanted to be with her at this moment to comfort her.

However, she didn't need her own comfort at all.

Chu You raised his head and looked at a osmanthus branch hanging out of the courtyard wall. The light yellow petals were scattered, and it was very fragrant.

Chu You suddenly remembered that Qingjia liked osmanthus. He took out the purse in his arms, brought it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. The smell of osmanthus in it had long since receded.

……

As the war dragged on for a long time, the Chu family's camp became more and more passive. They lost battles one after another and several cities were recovered.

When the people heard the news, they were mostly relieved.

"This war should end as soon as possible! Once the war begins, the corvee and taxes will become heavier, and we can't bear it!"

"That's right, this Chu family really wants to be an important minister, isn't it? It's not a rebellion!"

"It wasn't King Yi who rebelled first. It's a pity that King Yi was so unlucky that he died within a few days of becoming emperor. It was his son's turn to take the throne."

"Oh! It's none of our people's business to be the emperor. As long as he doesn't embarrass us, he will be a good emperor."

"But I heard that this war was a great victory. Thanks to the military work of the eldest son of the Wei family, the Chu family was defeated one after another."

"Young Master Wei actually has military talents? He is truly a model of young talent!"

Wei Yu was famous before, but now he is even more famous. Many ladies and ladies admire him, so they start to think of playing matchmaker.

"It seems that the eldest son of the Wei family is not married yet, right?"

"It seems like she's not married yet!"

"What a pity that such a young talent does not marry a wife."

"That's right, I'll go to Wei Mansion and ask someday."

……

On the front line, the Chu family was defeated. The most angry person was Chu Hou. He had planned well, from the initial mistake to the current dead end.

Now not only did he lose several cities, but he also lost two sons. He was really a bunch of losers.

"Hasn't the crown prince been found yet?" Chu You's inexplicable disappearance forced Chu You to let his other sons step up. However, his sons were all useless and couldn't hold up at all.

The generals around him reported: "The crown prince has not been found yet!"

Chu You threw down the quilt and said angrily: "This traitor has to go against me!"

Chu You was filled with resentment in his heart. He had always disliked this son, but now, he had left me behind and disappeared.

Without him, there were really not many useful people at his disposal. Who knew that Wei Yu was so powerful, but he underestimated him.

"General, there is someone outside asking to see you."

"Who?"

"Say it's Zhu."

Zhu family?

Chu Hou immediately knew who it was and said quickly: "Please come in."

It was Tian Qing who came, and he came to help his master deliver a message.

"What are you doing here?" Chu Hou asked directly.

Tian Qing said: "Of course I'm here to help Chu Shuai."

"How can you help me? With just a few of you?"

When it comes to gathering information, Zhu Yanmen is good at it, but now in the war, what can Zhu Yanmen do?
Unless there are people from the Zhu Yan Sect in the court.

Tian Qing only said: "Commander Chu, your former banner as a traitor to the Qing Dynasty is no longer effective. The emperor has been on the throne for a long time, and you have become a traitor. Everyone will kill you, and your morale will inevitably be damaged."

"Then what can I do?"

Chu Hou had known this for a long time, but he didn't have the sword to turn back when he started work. He could no longer turn back.

I just regret that one of my miscalculated moves allowed Li to still have her bloodline alive.

If he had royal blood in his hands, he would be able to make a name for himself and compete with the little emperor, but no, the Li family was slaughtered by him.

Tian Qing said: "Shuai Chu, come and support my master!"

Chu Hou was confused: "Your master? Do you, the Zhu Yan Sect, also want to rebel?"

Tian Qing smiled and said: "No! My master is the orthodox bloodline of the royal family in this world. The Li family used to be just my master's ministers."

Minister?

Chu Hou suddenly understood.

"You... the former Zhu family! Do you still have bloodline left in the world?"

Tian Qing nodded: "Yes!"

The two looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

The Marquis of Chu was almost at the end of his rope. He had no success with his troops, so he told him that the morale of his army was weakening. If he continued to fight, he would only become more frustrated and weaker, and there would be only death in the future.

But if he uses the banner of the Zhu family and has the support of the orthodox bloodline of the previous dynasty, he will not be regarded as a master without a name, but will have a little more help. If he wins in the future, he will still have a chance to make a difference.

Chu Hou smiled and asked: "But, what benefits does your master promise me?"

Tian Qing said: "The good thing is that you have to win. Now the Marquis has no choice, right?"

Chu Hou's expression changed, he was really a cunning man, but what was he afraid of? He has soldiers in his hands, and the Zhuyan sect only has a few people. When the time comes, he will at most support a puppet emperor, and then depose him when the time is right.

Chu Hou planned this and agreed: "Since we want to cooperate, you must let me meet your master, right?"

"Of course what I want to see is just now. There are more important things."

"what's up?"

Tian Qing said: "Of course I will help the Marquis get the city back!"
