Episode 11 plot introduction

Chu Chao rushed back to Yunzhong County with the aftermath of Wangcheng's victory. The first thing he saw was not the news of his father's recovery, but the almost breathless silence in front of the bed.Chu Cen was blind, his old injuries recurred, and his whole figure seemed drained of strength by years of fighting overnight.Chu Chaoqiang managed not to lose his composure in front of everyone. He only held his father's hand and told him that Wangcheng was defended, Shuo Mo had temporarily retreated, and Yunzhong County was still there.When Chu Cen heard her daughter's voice, she felt as if she had finally waited for the person she felt most at ease to come home.

Everyone in Cangmuzhai also followed the Chu Dynasty to Yunzhong County.The leader of the village, Aunt Ge, took off her years of disguise in front of Chu Cen, and her life experience was revealed.She is not an ordinary village leader, but a female general named Alan Ruoying who came from Shuomo's old tribe. She is also deeply involved with the biological mother of the Chu Dynasty, Kapok Hong.Chu Chao originally thought that Cangmuzhai was just a group of people who were accidentally injured in his father's old case, but he did not expect that his mother's name, old grievances from the border areas, and military affairs in Shuomo were all linked together by this village.She heard how Kapok Hong was involved in the dispute between the two countries, and how Chu Cen silently made amends over the years. The resentment and pain in her heart were hard to separate for a while.

Chu Cen's condition is not just an old injury.After examination by the military medical officer, it was confirmed that there was a highly toxic poison called Qian Ji Burning Blood in his body.The poison has been latent for many years, and once it is activated, it will swallow up the blood, damage the eyes, and completely bring down the person.Xie Yanlai's expression suddenly changed when he heard the name of the drug, because this drug was once given to him by Xie Yanfang. It was a life-saving drug in name, but in fact it might be a secret method to control political opponents.When the clues came together, he finally realized that he might have been used as a pawn by his brother, and even indirectly killed the father whom the Chu Dynasty cared about most.

Xie Yanlai was so disheartened that he asked to die in front of the Chu Dynasty and Chu Cen's old men.He didn't defend himself, nor did he shift the responsibility to Xie Yanfang. He just felt that if the poison really entered Chu Cen's body because of him, he would have no shame in standing next to Chu Chao anymore.The Chu Dynasty did not immediately forgive him, nor did he let anyone kill him.She was in pain more than anyone else, but she knew that the person who actually poisoned the plot was still in the capital. If Xie Yanlai died in guilt at this time, it would only benefit Xie Yanfang and Xiao Xun.She locked up Xie Yanlai and ordered people to investigate the source of Qianji Ranxue. At the same time, she stayed in front of Chu Cen's bed, waiting for her father to say another word.

Before Yunzhong County could recover from his critical illness and the truth about his life experience, the Shuomo Army attacked again.Xiao Xun secretly colluded with foreign enemies, hoping to tear open the border defense while Chu Cen was seriously ill and the morale of the army was low.The Chu Dynasty had to go to war for his father.When she put on her armor, Chu Cen fumbled and handed her the old order, telling her not only to fight for the Chu family, but also to fight for the people outside the city.Chu Chao held back his tears and led his troops out of the camp.She knew that this battle was not a small victory for Wangcheng, but a life-or-death test of whether her father could hold on and whether Yunzhong County could be saved.

Chu Chao stood outside the military tent for a long time. He heard the soldiers in each battalion discussing Chu Cen's illness in low voices. He also heard that some people were resentful because of Xie Yanlai's involvement with poison.She did not avoid these voices, but asked Zhong Changrong to summon all the military generals to publicly explain Chu Cen's condition, the situation that led to the opportunity to burn blood, and Shuo Mo's recurrence.She did not allow anyone to use her father's name to fight privately, nor did she allow anyone to use Xie Yanlai's unexplained charges as a reason to vent their anger.Yunzhong County has just lost its backbone. If the internal forces disperse first at this time, the enemy will not have to attack the city.Chu Chao hung her father's old order in front of the commander's case, accepted all questions, and told the generals that from this moment on, she would temporarily take over the military orders.Everyone watched her transform from daughter to coach overnight, and finally understood that the flag of the Chu family had not fallen yet.

Xie Yanlai was detained in a side tent. When he heard the military orders outside, he felt more miserable than being tortured.He wanted to see Chu Chao, but he was afraid that opening his mouth would only aggravate her pain.A Le was ordered to bring medicine in and couldn't help but ask him why he didn't defend anything.Xie Yanlai only said that it would be better to carry the unexplainable debt first, and it would not be too late to die after the truth is found out.A Le brought these words to Chu Chao, who was silent for a long time, and finally asked someone to send extra guards to prevent anyone from hurting him privately.She is not soft-hearted, but knowing that Xie Yanlai is alive can continue to dig down the poisonous thread hidden by Xie Yanfang.
