In the imperial city, Ye Yunjian was fighting with the rebels in the city, and the rebels outside the city also attacked the imperial city regardless of casualties. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Ye Yunjian fought hard, it was difficult to turn the tide. Looking at the more and more rebels appearing in the city, his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"Retreat, we retreat. Ye Yunjian shouted loudly after killing one person.

At this time, the surrounding soldiers were under the command of Ye Yunjian, and they fought and retreated, avoiding unnecessary casualties. Just as the army was about to withdraw from this area, I saw a man rushing from the enemy camp, as if he had entered a no-man's land, and he broke through his own battle formation with his own strength.

For a while, the screams came and went, death was not terrible, what was terrible was the despair of being powerless to resist. In the face of such an invincible enemy, a mood called "fear" rose in the hearts of all people.

Ye Yunjian half-squinted, looking at what was happening in front of him, his eyes were cold and terrifying, and two words came out of his mouth: "Zhao Ji." ”

Although the voice was small, it was heard by Zhao Ji.

"General Ye, I'm offended. Zhao Ji hugged his fist.

"Zhao Ji, what nonsense are you talking about, don't you hurry up and solve this traitor. Chu Ge in the distance shouted impatiently.

"See, this is the person you are loyal to. In the face of danger, Ye Yunjian said calmly.

"The food of the king, the matter of loyalty. This is the duty of a courtier. After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he made claws with both hands and took Ye Yunjian who was behind the soldier.

"Protect the generals. ”

A group of soldiers picked up their weapons and rushed forward, but there was no effect, Zhao Ji's iron fist swept, and the soldiers were swept to both sides, all organs were torn apart, and they were already lifeless.

And those sword soldiers slashed at Zhao Ji's body, which had no effect, as if they intersected with divine soldiers, and they were suddenly shattered.

"You are no match for this man, retreat quickly, leave it to me here. Ye Yunjian said to the soldiers behind him.

"General. All the soldiers remained where they were, not moving, as if they were dead.

"This is a military order, and those who disobey the military order will be killed. Ye Yunjian roared angrily.

It was only at this point that the soldiers reluctantly began to retreat. Zhao Ji looked at all this lightly and did not stop it, and then looked at Ye Yunjian: "I didn't expect you to change at all." ”

"What, do you think that I took refuge in the Third Prince just for the sake of glory and wealth?" Ye Yunjian asked rhetorically.

Zhao Ji didn't speak, but his expression seemed to tell Ye Yunjian that this was the case.

Ye Yunjian was not angry, looked at the soldiers who had retreated, and said, "Since this is the case, then take my life to ask for credit." ”

"When it is. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ji's figure moved quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Ye Yunjian, and his iron fist swung out, with a strong momentum, and came with a sound that broke through the air.

Ye Yunjian narrowly avoided this blow, and then the sword slashed out, Zhao Ji did not avoid it, and took the sword hard. Immediately after another punch, Ye Yunjian hurriedly transported his spiritual power on the sword and placed it on his chest, although he blocked the iron fist, but the whole person was knocked out and suffered extremely serious internal injuries.

didn't have time to take care of the injury, with this impact, Ye Yunjian flew away quickly, the speed was so fast that he could only see a black shadow soon.

Zhao Ji immediately chased out, and the two quickly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"This traitor, where is he fleeing?" Chu Ge was about to lead someone to chase after him, but was blocked by Chu Yan with his hand.

"Father. Chu Ge was puzzled.

"Ye Yunjian handed it over to Zhao Ji, we have to rush to the city gate now, we can't delay. Chu Yan said.

"Yes. Chu Ge lowered his head and answered, then tilted his head sideways and glanced at the direction where the two disappeared, and then he reluctantly marched towards the city gate.

......

The galloping figure slowed down, Ye Yunjian covered his chest, and walked forward step by step, his face was like a blank piece of paper, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

"Ahem. With a cough, blood spurted out and fell to the ground. With his right hand, he wiped the blood from his mouth, and Ye Yunjian reached into his arms.

"You can't run. ”

A rough voice sounded behind him, and without looking back, Ye Yunjian also knew who it was. The hand that reached into his bosom slowly moved out again.

"Before I get to, I'll die at your hands. ”

Ye Yunjian turned his head and said weakly, at this time, he couldn't even stand up straight, he could only bow halfway. There is a strong feeling of vertigo, which makes people feel that they may fall down at any time.

"You and I have no grudges, if it weren't for your rebellion, the prince would hate you to the core, maybe I could spare your life. ”

"So I have to thank you?" Ye Yunjian wanted to laugh, but because of the injuries on his body, his painful face was wrinkled.

"Say, before you die, what else do you want to say, don't leave any regrets. Zhao Ji was condescending, looking at Ye Yunjian, who was leaning over, and said lightly.

"Regret? I, Ye Yunjian, have been worthy of heaven and earth and my conscience all my life. If you want to say regret, it is that you were once loyal to Da Chu and loyal to the mediocre father and son, that's all. ”

"Faint? Could it be that Emperor Chu is mediocre, and Xuanyuan Gu, who single-handedly provoked a war in the world and caused the destruction of life, is worthy of your loyalty?"

Ye Yunjian was silent, indeed, in the eyes of the world, the current wars in the Central Plains were all caused by Xuanyuan alone.

In the past, the Chen State, the Great Chu, and even the Seven Kingdoms have launched wars, if it weren't for Xuanyuan Gu, how could he have lost his life? Some people say that he is warlike, some people say that he is a tyrant, and even he himself thinks so.

But is that really the case?

Da Chu surrendered, Xuanyuan Gu did not kill another surrendered soldier, and even the former members of the Great Chu royal family were treated preferentially one by one. Although he no longer has real power, he is well-fed. If this is just to buy people's hearts, then what explanation should be given to the people who have now returned to the Great Chu Dynasty and the people live and work in peace and contentment, even more so than before?

If it is a tyrant, how can the people of this world have no worries about food and clothing?

If it is a tyrant, how can these countless soldiers swear allegiance to the death?

If he is a tyrant, how can he deal with political affairs night and night, and never be extravagant?

If it is a tyrant, how can he reuse the people who have subjugated the country?

Everyone in the world knows that Xuanyuan Gu hates the current emperor very much, because Xuanyuan Yang once personally ordered the execution of Xuanyuan Gu's biological mother. So now that Xuanyuan is in power, the identity of Emperor Xuanyuan Yang exists in name only, and even people are under house arrest.

Everyone in the world said that Xuanyuan was lonely and rebellious, but when he was about to go to the battlefield in the north. Why, why is Xuanyuan Gu so worried in his eyes, and he must protect Xuanyuan Yang?

What kind of person is Xuanyuan Gu? Ye Yunjian didn't know. However, from this short period of understanding, Ye Yunjian seems to understand that even if Wen Ke is in the world, Xuanyuan Gu, who can be determined by martial arts, has his own helplessness.

This helplessness made him feel puzzled, more curious. What kind of person or thing can make an unpredictable person like Xuanyuan Gu feel powerless?

This helplessness may be the answer to Xuanyuan Gu's so many seemingly contradictory behaviors.

"Let's do it. Ye Yunjian used his spiritual power and slowly put his palm on his chest, so that he could smash the psychic stone in his arms before he died, which was also the last thing he could do.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Zhao Ji make a move, Ye Yunjian looked at Zhao Ji suspiciously: "Have you changed your mind?"

"Who said I changed my mind?"

Looking at Ye Yunjian, who looked vigilant, Zhao Ji said with a smile: "I didn't plan to kill you from the beginning?"

"What?" Ye Yunjian said in surprise, "Why did you let me go?"

"Is there any benefit for me to kill you?" Zhao Ji asked rhetorically.

Ye Yunjian saw that Zhao Ji didn't seem to be lying to himself, and he also relaxed his vigilance: "If you don't kill me, how can you give an account to Chu Ge?"

"When the time comes, just say I didn't catch up with you. After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he threw a pill over: "Eating it will be good for your injury." ”

Ye Yunjian took the pill, smelled the pungent fragrance of the medicine, and immediately felt refreshed. No more hesitation, swallow the pill directly into your mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth, turning into a trace of cool qi and integrating into his body, and the air flow was like a stream flowing in his body, moistening the dry body, and after a while, Ye Yunjian felt that his injuries had been healed for the most part.

"Thank you. Ye Yunjian thanked.

"I caused this injury, thank me for it?"

Ye Yunjian smiled bitterly, until now, he still didn't understand, if it wasn't for Zhao Ji's punch before, he would have taken advantage of this strength to fly backwards, I am afraid that he would have been a dead corpse now.

"But I still want to know why you saved me?".

Zhao Ji was originally a casual cultivator, he was seriously injured and dying back then, and was saved by Chu Ge, so Ye Yunjian had the impression that he had always been obedient to Chu Ge, but he didn't expect that he would let himself go now.

"I'm tired. After a long time, Zhao Ji sighed: "Over the years, I have also done many things for Da Chu, even against my conscience and indiscriminately killing innocents. This morning, I saw a woman who had gone out to buy rice, and I watched her die in front of me. But he didn't save her. ”

"Hmph, killing innocents indiscriminately, only Chu Ge can do it?" Ye Yunjian looked at Zhao Ji who lowered his head, and suddenly said: "If you don't leave Chu Ge, I will introduce you to the third prince at that time, and with your ability and temperament, you will definitely be able to be reused." ”

"Haha, don't say that your third prince is difficult to protect himself. Even if he is still the original Xuanyuan Gu, I will not betray him. Okay, let's go. Zhao Ji waved his hand and turned to leave.

Looking at the back that was gradually moving away, Ye Yunjian couldn't help but feel a kind of pity, but more of a pity. Such a temperamental person, but loyal to a person like Chu Ge, is really buried, it's a pity, it's a pity!

Ye Yunjian shook his head and took out the psychic stone in his arms, which was blood-red and extremely beautiful.

"The third prince, Ye Yunjian is incompetent and failed to defend the imperial city. I have failed you in trust. After saying this, Ye Yunjian directly crushed the psychic stone in his hand.

At the same time, in Yellowstone City, Xuanyuan Gu, who was closing his eyes in the room, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the psychic stone on the table that suddenly fell apart, and said coldly: "You forced me to do this." ”
