When the smoke cleared, Zhang Hongbo and his soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, and the huge body of the monster python was also carried away. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Originally, the ancient woods were forested, the flowing water was murmuring, and the quiet and dusty Meiling Mountains were now full of desolation.

Yin Che and Xie Yuanda's bodies were neatly placed on the ground, and Hua Lianyue wept silently at them. The rest of the people were silent, after this fight, they were all scarred, and it was a fluke to survive.

And what is gone will eventually pass away, and it will never be recovered!

Xiao Fengnan slammed his fist into the rough trunk of the tree, the blood stained the bark red, and his amber eyes flashed with monstrous anger. He couldn't bear the indignation in his heart, strode forward, grabbed Liu Hui's shirt suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Why? Why is all this? Do you plan to sacrifice all of us for meritorious service?"

Liu Hui smiled bitterly and did not make a sound.

"Be bold, don't be rude to the second prince!" Zhang Hongbo waved his hand, and countless soldiers aimed their spears at Xiao Fengnan in the violence.

Xiao Fengnan did not have the slightest fear, the corners of his mouth pursed slightly, drew a contemptuous arc, and sneered: "What a second prince, condescending to be with us lowly commoners." Even if we lose our lives, we must be grateful to Dade?"

"Brother Xiao, don't say it!" Hua Lianyue looked over, her eyes were confused and painful: "I used to think that people's hearts change people's hearts, as long as I do my best to be good to someone, even if there is no return, I will be moved."

It's a pity that I still overestimate myself, after all, people's hearts are through the belly, and only the side he is willing to show you can see. What is not seen is always invisible. ”

Liu Huitie's face was blue, his face was extremely embarrassed, but he couldn't refute it. He could only clench his fists tightly, because the force was too strong, his slender fingers were faintly white, but the tearing pain in his heart never lingered.

She wiped the tears from her face and slowly stood up. With a wooden face, he said to Liu Yiliang, who was bandaging Tang Yao's wounds: "Daddy, let's go!"

"Let's go, let's go!" Liu Yiliang stood up, patted her on the shoulder, and sighed helplessly. When he looked back at Liu Hui, his face was already full of indifference.

"If the second prince has no other advice, I will say goodbye!"

Liu Hui frowned and wanted to explain, but he felt that he couldn't talk about it. All the explanations finally turned into a long sigh, he just hugged his fist at Liu Yiliang, and said very sincerely: "Gu Master, today's matter is indeed my inconsiderate consideration, please forgive me!"

"Don't dare!" Liu Yiliang didn't want to say much to him, and after a few simple words, he no longer paid attention to this second prince with a prominent background.

The dilapidated carriage was quickly repaired, and the horses pulling the carriage had been killed by a rain of arrows, and Zhang Hongbo sent them a few more war horses as leg strength for the long journey.

Yin Che and Xie Yuanda are from the public gate after all, and their bodies can only be handed over to the government to deal with. However, Xiao Fengnan still cut off a strand of Yin Che's black hair and carefully collected it by his side. also fulfilled her dream of always being by her side.

Under Liu Hui's gloomy gaze, the group finally drifted away. And in the process, Hua Lianyue never looked at him again, nor did she say a word to him.

It seems that she is completely dead to Liu Hui after all!

After Hua Lianyue and her party left, Liu Hui stood on the ground full of blood, wreckage, and corpses, looking around blankly, but there was no trace of joy in his heart after the success of the plan.

Liu Hui did get a secret report, knowing that these outlaws wanted to make a last stand, and intercepted himself halfway to avenge Hua Lianyue. After getting the news, he immediately formulated countermeasures, and even did not hesitate to reveal his identity, and secretly contacted the Qingzhou garrison to rush to support.

It's just that he was afraid that the news would leak and he would miss this opportunity to catch all the remnants of this group of sins, so he chose to hide it.

Liu Hui never expected that there would be so many mistakes in the process, he didn't expect that the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou would be late, he didn't expect that there would be such a strange giant python in the valley, and he didn't expect that the final counterattack of these remnants of the Heini clan would be so powerful.

The situation was now irreversible, because it was indeed caused by his quick success, and he did not even have an excuse to defend himself.

Liu Hui is a prince, or a prince who was not noble enough to be born. Although his biological mother, Concubine Shu, is not low, she was born poor and has no powerful family to support. and because of the exclusive favor in those years, he offended the queen mother and the queen, the two most noble women today. When the grace is gone, the honorable title of Concubine Shu has also become an ornament.

Harem life seems to have endless glory and wealth, but there are deadly traps hidden everywhere. After living in the harem for 20 years, Liu Hui can't remember how many times he accidentally fell into Taiye Lake, how many times he accidentally ate Xiangke's ingredients, and how many times he was bullied by the prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince.

He only remembered that whenever he encountered these accidents and was hovering on the edge of life and death, his mother could only cry helplessly beside his bed. They don't have a strong backing, they don't have the emperor's favor, the only thing they have is each other.

The teenage life full of thorns makes his heart a little more forbearing, a little more calculating, and a little more cold than other princes.

Back then, someone secretly reported that the Hu family was mining iron ore privately, and secretly sold the collected iron ore to those small affiliated countries for huge profits. It's a pity that the secret report was sent to the emperor's imperial study after a lot of hard work, and almost all the people who reported the secret died violently, and the youngest daughter is missing, and has not been found yet.

The emperor once sent countless officials to secretly mediate this matter, but those who were officials either got nothing, or were polluted by the same stream, and even two of them died.

At that time, the queen happened to be discussing Liu Hui's marriage with the emperor, and the queen has always been virtuous and virtuous in the eyes of the emperor, and she is her niece in Liu Hui's photo. What's more, this Xie family is first-class and good in terms of appearance, conversation and conduct, and the emperor is naturally very satisfied.

Liu Hui secretly inquired, and this Xie family's appearance is indeed first-class. It's a pity that she has been raised too well, and she has always taken the interests of the Xie family as her own responsibility. This seemingly flawless Xie clan is clearly a tool used by the queen to control herself.

Liu Hui, who has always been low-key and humble, and cautious, did not want to be manipulated by the queen for the rest of his life, so he disobeyed the emperor's order for the first time in his life.

The emperor was furious, at that time, the term of office of the previous magistrate of Meiling County expired, and he happened to be anxious about the iron mine, so he issued a secret edict, asking Liu Hui to be incognito and go to Meiling County to be a small magistrate to secretly investigate the matter, and the right to make up for it.

So Liu Hui followed his motherhood and took the name of the word, assumed the pseudonym Huo Lianjue, rode alone to Meiling County to take office, and began to secretly investigate the Hu family's iron mine.

He has been operating secretly in Meiling County for more than a year, but there has been no major progress. It was Hua Lianyue who accidentally stumbled into the tip of the iceberg of the iron ore case.

In the half year that Hua Lianyue was in a coma, Liu Hui peeled off the cocoon layer by layer, so that Hu Fu and the huge interest group behind him were exposed to the world. Among them, he even faintly peeked into it, and it actually involved the queen's mother's family, the Xie family of Chen County.

After the shadow of the Xie family was revealed, the emperor's attitude began to become ambiguous. It's a pity that at this point, he is already difficult to ride a tiger, and he can only rely on instinct to promote the development of the situation step by step.

Although today's Chenjun Xie clan is no longer the top gate valve of hundreds of years ago, its huge power should not be underestimated. Even the current queen is just the daughter of one of the branches of the Xie family.

In this pinnacle showdown, Liu Hui didn't know if he could get out of the showdown, but he knew that the people around him would definitely be implicated. So he didn't dare to keep Hua Lianyue, he would rather let her hate himself, and hoped that she could live in peace.

......

In the mountains full of bloody atmosphere, Liu Hui stood quietly with his hands in his hands. The breeze blew and fluttered gently at the hem of his brocade robe. Zhang Hongbo stood behind him and looked silently, but there was a bit of respect and fear in his eyes.

He was originally the deputy Xiao cavalry leader in Qingzhou, and there was a genuine Xiao cavalry leader on top of him, so it was not his turn to lead the troops to suppress the enemy. And that genuine horseman is the crown prince's person, how can he let the second prince who is not reused at all be transferred.

Who knew that the person sent by Liu Hui expected this, so he took out a secret edict on the spot, and announced that the unlucky Zhengqi cavalry had eighteen charges, and immediately took him down and removed him from his official position and waited for his fate.

Zhang Hongbo was also on the sidelines at the time, and most of those charges were trivial, and they were not enough to take down a well-known horseman leader. It's a pity that one of them is that the family of the counselor is arrogant and domineering in his hometown, enclosing land everywhere in the name of the prince and scraping the people's money.

The act of enclosing land can be said to deceive the people at best, but it can be a major crime of rebellion that moves the foundation of the country at best.

In fact, their behavior may not be acquiesced by the prince, but unfortunately even so, they dare not put it on the table and say it. This unfortunate counselor can only swallow this evil breath, otherwise he will insist on being investigated, and his entire family will be implicated.

Of course, this counselor also has a few henchmen, who have the support of the crown prince, so he naturally disobeys the reprimand of the second prince, so a big riot broke out.

After this rebellion was quelled, the person sent by Liu Hui only said to Zhang Hongbo with a smile: "Congratulations to Lord Zhang, who will become the first person in the Qingzhou garrison." ”

Zhang Hongbo's heart was pounding, and he remembered in hindsight that after the riot, the previous counselor and the forces he had been operating for many years had completely collapsed.

At this moment, it is a good time to take the opportunity to cultivate his own power, no matter who will be the new Qingzhou Xiaoqi leader in the future, as long as those important positions are occupied by his own people, no one will want to set off any more storms.

Although Zhang Hongbo's family power cannot be compared with the Xie family, it should not be underestimated. However, his Xunyang Zhang family has never participated in the game between princes, and he has always been loyal to only the emperor.

It is precisely because of this that the Zhang family has always been only a second-rate family, and they cannot enter the top power center.

And now looking at the elegant and handsome second prince, the inadvertently displayed scheming and intelligence, Zhang Hongbo was moved. Perhaps, this legendary powerless and incompetent second prince is a shortcut to the center of power for their Zhang family in the future.

The two of them were immersed in their own thoughts, and they didn't see a young man in a moon-white robe, sitting in a soft pocket, carried by four soldiers.

This young man has an extremely ordinary appearance, not handsome, but definitely not ugly. But those eyes that are as secretive as deep are unforgettable at first sight.

When Zhang Hongbo saw this young man first, he hugged his fists and said, "Young Master Ji." ”

The white-shirted young man nodded slightly and said, "Lord Zhang, I have something to say to the second prince." ”

Zhang Hongbo knew it, he nodded and retreated away with the soldiers with soft pockets.

The white-shirted young man looked at Liu Hui's back and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Liu Hui's body moved slightly, he slowly turned his head, looked at the white-shirted young man condescendingly, and said coldly: "Ji Xuan, is all this in your calculations?"

Ji Xuan smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Why did the second prince say this?"

Liu Hui hooked his lips, showed a sneer, and said, "Isn't it? You have always wanted me to marry that Xie family." Now, if you can kill Yue'er by the hands of the remnants of the Heini clan, don't you know that it is just right for you to be satisfied. The Qingzhou soldiers and horses are late, I'm afraid it's because you're deliberately delaying!"

Ji Xuan suddenly laughed and said, "Those who know me, the second prince is also!"

He actually admitted that he refused to even hide it a little. Liu Hui gritted his white teeth and creaked, he endured the hidden pain in his heart, and said word by word: "Ji Xuan, you dare to calculate even me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Ji Xuan rolled his eyes and chuckled heartlessly: "Second prince, this is the third time that you have gritted your teeth and said that you want to kill me." ”

"Ji Xuan, I really regret knowing you. "Ji Xuan is his attendant, and they have known each other since childhood. Therefore, Liu Hui knew that the coldness of the person in front of him was better than his own.

Ji Xuan likes to watch people tear their faces and fight each other for rights and interests, and he likes to manipulate the fate of others at will, just for his own pleasure.

Just like now, Ji Xuan knew that he was planning to let Yue'er go, but he still wanted Yue'er's life, just because he felt that Yue'er's status in his heart had surpassed him.

Just like when I was a child, a palace maid gave Liu Hui a very beautiful dog. At that time, Liu Hui was only ten years old, and he was detained in the palace by Concubine Shu every day except for reading, which was very boring. And the arrival of this dog really made him happy for a while, and for the sake of this dog, he even released Ji Xuan's pigeons a few times.

One morning, his dog disappeared for some reason. Liu Hui was in a hurry, so he sent all the palace people out to look for it, but only found a pile of mottled blood stains and dog hair in a secluded place outside the palace.

Liu Hui, who couldn't bear to bear how much he was wronged, cried when he saw the pile of dog hair. He thought it was another prank by the prince, but he was resentful but there was nothing he could do. Even in order not to alarm the emperor, he could only quietly bury the dog hair with his own hands.
