"Xu Chenglin!"

The Emperor cried out through gritted teeth, and then quietly slumped back into the chair behind him.

Has he finally reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted and everyone betrays his relatives?

Xu Chenglin lowered his head slightly, which was regarded as his last greeting to him, the emperor.

The door of the imperial study was wide open, and the cold winter wind of the north rushed in, and the curling green smoke from the incense burner in the imperial study was blown away and floated, covering everyone's eyes in an ethereal way.

"Xu Chenglin, don't you have anything to say to me?" the emperor asked unwillingly.

Xu Chenglin raised his head and looked at the emperor, who was already very different from the one in his memory, and sighed slightly:

"I have nothing to say. ”

A strange look appeared in the emperor's eyes:

"There is nothing to say...... Then do you want the queen to become a prisoner with me, and then go to Huangquan together?"

Obviously it is the same as in his previous life, Cheng Huan is still there, and he still cares about Cheng Huan, but why can he betray him and abandon Cheng Huan?

"That's just your queen, not my sister. ”

Xu Chenglin's ridiculous voice broke the emperor's long-standing dream:

"The person you found back is just a stand-in, not Cheng Huan, don't you know it in your heart? You keep saying that you have a deep affection for Cheng Huan, hehe, don't you think it's hard to act?"

"No, it can't be, I've already summoned her soul and got her back......"

How could everything he had worked so hard to plan be all for naught?

Impossible!

"You're wrong!"

Xu Chenglin said coldly, and the anger in his heart was no longer hidden:

"My sister, heaven and earth, there is only one!"

"No matter how similar that person is, it's just a puppet you found - Xiao Shaoyun, you killed her with your own hands, and then you faced the same face day and night, don't you have a moment of guilt and fear?

The cold accusation was like a sharp blade that cut open the emperor's heart in an instant, and those faint self-deceptions were burned by Xu Chenglin's thunderous anger at this moment, and the emperor stretched out his hand to cover his face:

"Don't I want her to come back to me, I'd rather she come back to me......!

In the middle of his words, the emperor suddenly raised his head in shock, stared at Xu Chenglin for a moment, then stood up, and rushed to Xu Chenglin with his arms wildly:

"How did you know I killed her with my own hands?!!

When Cheng Huan died, no one knew!

In this world, only he and Cheng Huan know the truth!

Xu Chenglin avoided the crazy emperor and sneered:

"She told me herself. ”

At this point, Xu Chenglin didn't mind stabbing him in the heart.

"She, she'......"

Is Cheng Huan really back?

Great joy struck the emperor, but with it came even greater sorrow:

"Why didn't she come back to me? Where is she?"

"You killed her with your own hands, why did she come back to you? She never wanted to see you again in her life. ”

Footsteps could already be heard outside, as if thousands of troops were coming.

Xu Chenglin threw a final glimpse at the dejected emperor:

"Your Majesty, you should give an edict to the Zen position. ”

The situation in the palace has changed abruptly, but the corners of the capital are still unknown.

The vendor on the street who was carrying a burden and selling rice balls was choked by a small pebble rolling under his feet, and almost fell to the ground with a pick.

After the peddler stood firm, he was about to scold him for not being able to do such a immoral thing, when he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves close to his ears, and a road of dust filled his eyes.

The peddler was so frightened that his bones went limp, and he threw his pick and crawled to avoid it, and the horse's hooves could pass under his feet.

The man on horseback seemed to be lying on his back, spilling a long trail of blood on the loess street as the horses jolted.

"Oh my God, this is murder!"

The peddler screamed along with the people around him, forgetting even the pots and pans he had rolled in the dust.

Those with sharp eyes wondered:

"No, why do I look at the military master of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division just past......"

This made everyone's hearts suddenly panic, the Qin army outside the city was eyeing the tiger, and the capital could fall at any time, at this time, even the military master of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division was poisoned, this world, is it going to be chaotic?

Before the crowd could begin to talk about it, there was a burst of dust, and a group of royal guards galloped their horses and shouted along the street:

"Martial law, martial law!"

In just two words, the people of the capital on both sides of the street immediately ran away!

Oh my God, all martial law is a big deal, and they, the little people, will be tired into ashes if they are not careful!

The early winter in the north is already freezing to the bone, but in Xiao Shaotang's tent, the atmosphere is in full swing.

"Your Royal Highness, the Hou Ye has taken control of the palace, we can immediately march to the capital!"

Zheng Baobao's eyes radiated a wolf-like light, and his beard almost stood up, with undisguised fiery ambition!

The eyes of a group of lieutenants are also shining, and the opportunity to make contributions is right in front of them, and they are already enthusiastic!

Bai Chenghuan stood behind Xiao Shaotang and looked coldly at the generals who were about to move, his eyes were slightly cold.

Mr. Yuan and He Congmei glanced at each other, looked at the eager generals, and then looked at the old god in His Royal Highness the Prince and the Princess, who were supposed to be strategists, they remained consistent at this time and did not make a sound.

Zheng Baobao urged a few times, and saw that Xiao Shaotang was still staring at the picture on the table, leaving them with only an angular side face curvature, and couldn't help but be a little uncontrollable:

"Your Royal Highness, what are you still hesitating about?! Don't forget, the king of Anxi County is still in the capital, and if his life changes, it will be a big deal!"

"That's it, please ask His Royal Highness the Prince to make a decision as soon as possible!"

Seeing that Xiao Shaotang was indifferent, several people echoed one after another.

Only Zhang Shide stood aside without speaking, Zhao Wensong wanted to say something, but remembering Xiao Shaotang's cold eyes before, he felt that his back was cold, so he shrunk his neck and closed his mouth.

Several people talked for a while, but when they saw that Xiao Shaotang's face was always condensed, they gradually realized that something was wrong, and they stopped talking.

Xiao Shaotang waited until they all shut up, and then stretched out his slender fingers and tapped on a certain place on the map in front of him.

"Look here. ”

Several lieutenants didn't know why, so they all leaned over to look, only to see that place was marked with the name of a county seat, Yanling.

"Isn't this the small county town ten miles away from us?"

Zheng Baobao didn't understand:

"We're going to fight the capital, what does it have to do with the small place of Yanling?"

Xiao Shaotang finally raised his head, the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes and the tall bridge of his nose used to be handsome in Zheng Baobao's eyes, but now he was cold:

"Do you know how many people are in this little place? Do you know who is stationed on the other side of this little place?"

"Isn't that the 20,000 horses brought by the mighty general of the imperial court? Yanling, there are not many people in Yanling, at most forty or fifty thousand...... But what does this have to do with us? We won't be afraid of Zhang Junguang's 20,000 horses, right?"

As a general, Zheng Baobao still has a basic familiarity with military intelligence, and his answer is very neat, he can't figure out what Xiao Shaotang is struggling with.

"Then let me ask you again, what did the news from the capital say?"

Xiao Shaotang asked one after another, and Zheng Baobao was confused.

However, Xiao Shaotang did not hide the news from the capital, they had all read it, and he opened his mouth and replied:

"Naturally, it means that the emperor has been controlled, and they will let the emperor issue an edict to the throne......"

"Then why do we still have to go to war with Zhang Junguang?" Xiao Shaotang knocked the table in Zheng Baobao's gradually weakening voice, and Huo Ran stood up:

"Once the two of us start a war, all the people of Yanling will inevitably be affected by the war, do you still think that this is a desolate northwest, no matter how we wantonly start a war, it will not hurt the innocent?"

"His Royal Highness!"

Zheng Baobao also raised his head and stared at Xiao Shaotang suddenly, his eyes were like copper bells!

He never thought about it, but he didn't expect that the reason for His Royal Highness's hesitation would be this!

"Your Royal Highness, at such a time, how can you be kind to a woman!"

Zheng Baobao's chest rose and fell for a while, and he shouted without thinking:

"Yes, this capital is no more desolate than our northwest, there is no figure to be seen for dozens of miles, it is prosperous here, and there are people everywhere here, but we are at war! Isn't it just tens of thousands of people? War is originally a ...... for the dead."

"But who told you that this battle must be fought?" Xiao Shaotang interrupted Zheng Baobao in a cold voice. "If the emperor agrees to the Zen throne, why do we have to fight this battle, and we must poison the lives of tens of thousands of people?"

"What?!"

Zheng Baobao and several generals behind him exclaimed in unison.

Even Zhao Wensong and Zhang Shide were shocked.

Zheng Baobao almost jumped:

"Your Royal Highness, how can you not fight this battle?

After sharpening their knives for so long, they arrived in the capital, but His Royal Highness the Prince told them that this battle would not be fought!

If they don't fight, then where will their military exploits come from?

Xiao Shaotang put his hands behind his back and said word by word:

"The small people of Shengdou are also the common people! They are also the people of Daqi! Without the small people of Shengdou, where will they come from the splendid mountains and rivers?!"

Seeing that Zheng Baobao was still unconvinced, Xiao Shaotang's face was full of murder:

"Generals obey orders!"

There was a thunderous implication in the voice, and everyone's hearts trembled, and Zheng Baobao, who was about to argue, and several lieutenants all trembled, and subconsciously stood up straight to listen to the order.

"From today onwards, if there is no military order, those who send troops without permission will be killed!"

With a chill, the words rushed straight to their doors - this was the first time that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World had used the words "no mercy" in front of them!

That night, Zhang Junguang in the Jingwei camp, which was far away from the Qin army's camp, stood in the cold wind and looked into the distance, and after a gust of wind, a heart-rending cough suddenly broke out in the chest of the old general who was over half a hundred years old.

"Ahem......"

"Uncle, why did you run out again?

A young man in armor ran over and took a cloak and put it on him, with a slight reproach.

But he still didn't stop helping him pat his back and calm his breath.

Zhang Junguang turned his head and looked at his nephew in the moonlight for a while, feeling a pity.

"Wei Gong, if you had been willing to learn the art of war earlier, my uncle would have no regrets now. ”

The man known as Zhang Weigong secretly pursed his lips:

"Uncle, you don't know, I'm not that material, our family still has to be supported by you!"

Zhang Junguang's white hair trembled even more in the night wind.

He couldn't help but reprimand:

"Uncle will die sooner or later, what will happen to the family when the time comes? Who do you let the whole family rely on?"

Zhang Weigong was used to being a bastard, so he refuted it without thinking about it:

"Even if you are still here, when the time comes, the country will change hands and the old ministers will be liquidated, and our family will not be able to escape...... Why bother with these concerns now......"

"Bastard!"

Zhang Junguang roared angrily, and he was about to whip and beat people, Zhang Weigong saw that the situation was not good, so he ran away, and Zhang Junguang's roar and Zhang Weigong's begging for mercy were immediately heard in the night wind.

After making a fuss for a while, Zhang Weigong was still carried back by Zhang Junguang and slapped twice.

"The emperor is still in the capital, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

Zhang Weigong was not convinced:

"But the Qin army is closer to us! We have few people and no reinforcements in the fight, uncle, if you are not worried, what are you standing there looking at in the middle of the night?"

Zhang Junguang was just poked in the heart and lungs by his nephew's words, and he was so angry that he whipped him again:

"As far as you don't keep the door to the door, you deserve to be thrown to Yuzhou by the emperor, you deserve it! I shouldn't have fished you back in the first place!"

Zhang Weigong retorted while dodging the whip: "The emperor threw me to Yuzhou, it was originally mediocre, we might as well learn from the Weibei Houfu, don't go to the troubled ......waters when the opportunity is wrong."

"Shut up, you rebel!"

Zhang Junguang's whip couldn't be held, and his whole body trembled.

As the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Junguang only has two daughters and no sons, so he can only raise his younger brothers' sons as his own sons, but unfortunately most of his nephews are still young and can't take over.

Only Zhang Weigong is of the right age and is regarded as the heir of the mighty general's mansion, but it's a pity that this nephew can't support the wall with mud!

Last year, Empress Xiaoyuan died, and Zhang Weigong, who was bothered by Zhang Junguang to be stuffed into the palace as a royal guard, was sent to Yuzhou by the emperor in anger because he laughed and cried when he entered the palace.

Zhang Junguang took a lot of effort to get him back, who knew that he was still so open-mouthed!

"No matter what happens in the future, now that we are still the emperor's courtiers, we must be loyal to the emperor, if you dare to talk nonsense again, see how I clean you up!"

Zhang Junguang threatened viciously.

But Zhang Weigong, who had already boiled under his uncle's hands, didn't care at all, and was about to argue a few sentences, but the curtain of the camp tent was suddenly opened, and a gust of cold wind immediately poured in, accompanied by the panicked voice of the comer:

"General, there is a change in Beijing!"

Before he could finish speaking, a man covered in blood threw himself into the account and fell at their feet.
