After hugging Xiao Chunyue and crying that day, Xiao Yanzhi's spirit has not been very good. The bone in the calf that hadn't grown well was completely staggered this time, and it would bleed that day because the bone that had been crooked from strenuous activity had pierced out of the flesh.

Xu Lishan ascended the throne as the emperor, although the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, but a testament of the emperor gave him the right to dispatch the three armies, so Xu Lishan ordered to step up the tracking of the whereabouts of Xu Liqian and the rest of the Yun family, and the Jiang family also worked extra hard to help Xu Lishan take care of all affairs. Xu Lishan smiled and accepted the Jiang family's affection, but compared with before, he was a little more defensive in his heart.

Concubine Yun Shu was still hanging above the Vermilion Bird Gate, Xiao Yanzhi only allowed someone to give her some water to drink, and didn't care about the rest, Concubine Yun Shu was already unbearable after a few days, and only hung her last breath.

Xu Liqian blended in the crowd, looking at Concubine Yun Shu, who was worse than dead, with red eyes.

I don't know if it's because the mother and son are connected, Concubine Yun Shu, who was hanging on the city tower, suddenly raised her head and looked around slowly, and actually saw Xu Liqian hiding in the corner of the wall in the distance.

Concubine Yun Shufei stared at Xu Liqian, and suddenly burst into tears, but raised the corners of her mouth again, revealing a loving smile.

Concubine Yun Shufei smiled, Xu Liqian gritted his teeth and raised the bow and arrow in his hand.

However, before Xu Liqian could release the arrow, someone on the city wall suddenly fired an arrow at Xu Liqian, and the sharp arrow broke through the air and pointed directly at Xu Liqian's face.

Xu Liqian was stunned, knowing that this was discovered, so he put away his bow and arrows and turned around and ran.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

Chu Liang led twenty people to appear behind Xu Liqian like a ghost.

In the past few days, ordinary people who have good things every day have run to the side street in front of the Suzaku Gate to watch the wolf Concubine Yun Shufei, they disguised themselves into the people and ambushed, and cooperated with the people hiding on the city tower, originally just thinking that the people on the city tower could see the person who came to rob Yun Shufei at the first time, if the person who came was not Xu Liqian, he would be shot directly by the guards on the city tower, if the person who came was suspected of Xu Liqian, then the people above would give them a code, and they could follow the general direction to arrest people.

When the people on the tower suddenly gave a secret signal, they looked and scattered, and went around in the direction that the secret signal pointed, and then they saw a man hiding in the corner of the wall and drawing a bow and arrow.

Chu Liang didn't rush to arrest the person, but first gave a flag to the people on the city tower, asking them to shoot an arrow in the direction of the person. And when this person saw that he was exposed, he turned around and ran, judging from his actions, Bacheng was Xu Liqian himself. After all, as subordinates, once they get the orders of their boss or master, they are desperate to complete the task, and even if they don't risk their lives, they will not run away as soon as they encounter danger.

Are there any people who do what they do that are afraid of danger? Only people like Xu Liqian who feel that their lives are precious will be very afraid.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Liqian immediately whistled loudly, and then turned around and ran to the east.

"Tsk! He still has someone on his hands?! Chu Liang was speechless, "A few of you are here to stop the people who are in the way, and the three of you will come with me!" ”

Here, Chu Liang ran after Xu Liqian, and the news over there also reached the Wucheng Mansion in the shortest possible time.

After Xu Ren heard the news, he immediately found Xiao Yanzhi.

"Lord Qiqi, Xu Liqian has appeared."

Xiao Yanzhi, who was lazily sitting in a wheelchair basking in the sun in the yard, had his eyes lit up and asked Xu Ren, "Caught someone?" ”

"Not yet," Xu Ren said with his head down, "My subordinates will bring people to reinforcements." ”

Xiao Yanzhi didn't answer immediately, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Where is Xu Liqian now?" ”

Xu Ren replied: "The messenger said that he had run away to the east of the city. It is said that he still has soldiers in his hands. ”

Xiao Yanzhi looked up at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, and said: "There are private armies in the Wucheng Palace, and since Xu Liqian has been seeking power and usurping the throne since a long time ago, he must raise some private troops, which is the last means to save his life." ”

Cheng...... Isn't the Wucheng Palace, just east of the city?

Xiao Yanzhi said again: "Xu Ren, arrange all the people in the mansion to hide in one place, and you will also hide well." ”

Xu Ren's eyebrows frowned, and he asked in shock: "Could it be that Xu Liqian is coming to Wucheng Palace?" ”

"Who knows," Xiao Yanzhi said disapprerovingly, "but the only place in the east of the city that is worth his attention is the Wucheng Palace." In short, you arrange it, don't let people see the flaws at a glance, just leave He Yan and Zhang Shaosheng by my side. ”

During this time, he left He Yan and Zhang Shaosheng in the palace of Wucheng to protect Xiao Chunyue, and Xiao Ren'an and they were taken away from Chang'an by Yan Sheng long before the situation became so dangerous.

"Lord Wang, this is too risky! We still can't be sure how many people Xu Liqian has on his hands. Xu Ren stared at Xiao Yanzhi.

Damn it! Why hasn't their prince come back yet? He really can't handle the King of Shu alone!

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Xu Ren and said in a deep voice: "Do as I say." ”

Frightened by Xiao Yanzhi's determined eyes, Xu Ren immediately turned around and ran to make arrangements.

If Xu Liqian really wanted to come to the Wucheng Palace, it should be almost there, and he didn't have much time to decorate.

In a hurry, Xu Ren finally hid at the moment before more than 30 people climbed over the wall and broke into the Wucheng Palace.

Hearing the sound of someone breaking in, Xiao Yanzhi immediately pretended to be surprised and looked over, and saw that more than thirty people suddenly fell into the courtyard of Wucheng Palace, surrounded him, Zhang Shaosheng, and He Yan, and then raised their bows and arrows and aimed at the three of them, and then Xu Liqian walked out from behind the crowd.

"Brother Huang, I haven't seen you for a long time." Taking off the hood of the cloak, Xu Liqian looked a little haggard.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Yanzhi had a cold face and looked very calm, but his eyes kept sweeping over the thirty or so people.

"What am I going to do?" Xu Liqian gritted his teeth and said, "It's rare that the imperial brother actually arranged for the rest of the people in the Wucheng Palace's mansion to go to the Vermilion Bird Gate to guard my mother's concubine, isn't it too rude if I don't come to visit the imperial brother?" ”

It turned out that Xu Liqian thought that he had sent out all the people in the Wucheng Palace. Although there are not many people who can practice martial arts in the Wucheng Palace, it is not a few. Besides, the ambush on the city wall only needed a few people, and he didn't replace all the guards of the Suzaku Gate with people from the Wucheng Palace.

Xiao Yanzhi snorted coldly and said, "Now that the matter is now, do you and I still need to pay attention to etiquette?" ”

"It's really not necessary now," Xu Liqian said with a smile, "But do you know the imperial brother?" I really wanted to be good brothers with the royal brother, but why? Obviously, we are both the younger brothers of the imperial brother, but the imperial brother is only partial to Xu Lishan.

The imperial brother will only say good things about Xu Lishan and Jiang Guifei in front of his father, and the imperial brother will only fight for Xu Lishan, and the positions that the imperial brother asks for Xu Lishan are all important positions in the court, but when it is my turn, they are all inconsequential positions.

Brother Huang, where am I worse than Xu Lishan? If the imperial brother is willing to help me, then it should be me who is sitting in that seat now, not the pretentious but cowardly and incompetent Xu Lishan! ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi was slightly stunned, he never thought that Xu Liqian would have such an idea.

But at this time, if Xu Liqian wants the throne from the beginning like Xu Lishan, then his partial gang against Xu Lishan will indeed cause Xu Liqian's strong dissatisfaction, after all, it is his partial gang that gave Xu Lishan, who was originally evenly matched with Xu Liqian, an overwhelming advantage.

"So what?" But no matter what, Xu Liqian's actions are unforgivable, "So you killed your father and brother?" ”

The four words "killing his father and killing his brother" made Xu Liqian slightly stunned, and then he stiffened his neck and said, "So what?" Since none of you are willing to give me this opportunity, then I can only rob it myself, since you are in my way, then I can only get rid of you, is there anything wrong?! ”

He didn't want to poison his father, but in the end, what his father did was either planning for Xiao Yanzhi or Xu Lishan, how could his father have thought that he had an adult son who needed him to lay the future?

But it was also thanks to someone who told him about his father's heart disease, which allowed him to easily solve his father, otherwise if his father did not die, they would not have a chance. Whether the man wanted to kill his father with his sword or simply wanted to help him, he was grateful to that man!

"There's nothing wrong with that," Xiao Yanzhi smiled, "So what do you want to do now?" My father is gone, who are you going to threaten by arresting me? Is Xu Lishan? I think he'd love to see you kill me. ”

"No," Xu Liqian shook his head and said, "It's just that the imperial brother is too much of an eyesore, as long as the imperial brother is here, things will always develop in an uncontrollable direction, as long as there is no imperial brother and no Pei Ze, what is Xu Lishan?" ”

The news from the northwest side said that Pei Ze had been controlled, and he would kill Xiao Yanzhi again, and see how Xu Lishan would fight against him!

Xiao Yanzhi looked at the thirty people brought by Xu Liqian again, and said with a smile: "If you want to kill people in the palace of King Wucheng, but only bring thirty people, you are also very courageous." Xu Ren! ”

After Xiao Yanzhi shouted, Xu Ren led a group of private troops from the Wucheng Palace's mansion to appear on the roofs and walls of the Wucheng Palace, occupying various high grounds, holding bows and arrows, and looking at Xu Liqian proudly.

Xu Liqian raised his head and looked around, also smiled, and said, "Does the imperial brother think that I am Xu Lishan?" ”

As he spoke, Xu Liqian whistled again, Xiao Yanzhi couldn't see anyone, but he could hear a noise.

Xu Ren looked outside the Wucheng Palace, and then looked at Xiao Yanzhi with a bad look: "Lord Wang, the palace is surrounded, and there are more people than ours. ”

But a large number of people does not necessarily lead to victory, who is it to scare just by putting on a posture?

Xiao Yanzhi looked up at Xu Ren, and when he saw that Xu Ren's expression was hiding a bad smile, he knew that he was sure of winning, but just as he was about to open his mouth and say another word to Xu Liqian, he was preempted.

"When did the Wucheng Mansion become a place for you to have fun?"

This low voice smashed on the ground like a muffled thunder, making the people brought by Xu Liqian shake their bodies, but it made Xu Ren and the others feel uplifted.

Pei Ze jumped to the roof from somewhere, and then landed in front of Xiao Yanzhi, stared at Xu Liqian with cold eyes, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Yanzhi in the wheelchair, and said, "Don't you want to settle down?" Why are you still bringing trouble to your family? ”

At the same time as Pei Ze's voice, there was also the cheering of Chu Liang outside.

"Damn it, arrest them all, and kill them if you dare to resist!"

I thought that Xu Liqian was just running in the east of the city, why did he still run into the Wucheng Palace? The most terrible thing is that King Wucheng actually came back at this time, and he was going to die.

With Chu Liang's order, the leopard riders brought by Chu Liang, the fifty people who came back with Pei Ze, and Yu Linwei, who was brought out by Jiang Shan after receiving the notice, poured out from the streets and alleys around the Wucheng Palace, and no matter who was resisting and who didn't, they would beat people when they saw them, and they would cut them if they dared to fight back, and there was no ambiguity at all.

And Xiao Yanzhi in the courtyard just looked up at Pei Ze, looking at it, the tip of his nose was sore, and tears welled up again, the cold touch made Xiao Yan startled, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Pei Ze was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and glared at Xu Liqian angrily: "Xu Liqian, you are really good!" ”

Before the words fell, Pei Ze had already drawn his knife and slashed at Xu Liqian.

Xu Liqian was shocked, took a few steps back, and casually pulled a person in front of him, originally just wanted to block Pei Ze's attack on him, but he didn't expect Pei Ze's knife to really cut down without hesitation, and the person who was pulled to make a shield immediately fell to the ground, and blood splashed Xu Liqian's face.

Pei Ze turned his wrist, and then swept out with a knife, and the abdomen of the person standing on Xu Liqian's left hand was neatly opened, and blood gushed out mixed with something else, splashing Xu Liqian's body.

Pei Ze turned around and stabbed out again, and the person standing on Xu Liqian's right hand immediately fell, and blood was splashed on Xu Liqian's body again, making Xu Liqian look more terrifying than the dead people who fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Xu Ren and the others jumped down from the roof wall with cheers, waving their swords excitedly, leaving no one alive.

Xu Liqian froze in place, not even daring to move, and the feeling of sticking to you on his body and the smell of blood made Xu Liqian tremble.

"Y-Why are you here?"

Pei Ze sneered and said, "Do you think you will see Zhang Maocheng?" That's going to disappoint you. But Zhang Maocheng is waiting for you, and you will be able to meet him soon. ”

With a pop, Xu Liqian was so frightened that he sat on the ground, but his face turned pale with surprise from the blood all over the ground.

Pei Ze shook the knife, looked at Xu Liqian contemptuously, and said coldly: "Do you think you have the courage to dare to shout and snatch the throne just because you are like this?"

You know how to coerce and lure people, you are good at looking for opportunities to attack, and your layout is commendable, but why do you think you will win? The Yun family, who can't do it with literature? With 30,000 soldiers in the northwest who regard the safety of the border pass as more important than their own lives? With the guilt of General Yunzhou Zhongwu to the Yun family? Or are you relying on these innocent people behind you who have been deceived into thinking that they can become the Yulin Army, but they are going to bear the infamy of treason for you?! ”

After solving the matter of the Northwest Army, Pei Ze took some time to check the arrangements made by Xu Liqian and the Yun family over the years, although the layout was not exquisite, but if a surprise attack was launched without anyone knowing, it would have a great chance of winning, but the only weakness was that he was not sincere.

The Yun family has no generals, so if you want an army, you can only try to win over others, but Xu Liqian and the Yun family never give sincerity, they use love and family to force Zhang Maocheng into the water, but they don't know that Zhang Maocheng, who often fights against the Turks, cares more about the safety of the Tang State, and they rely on the fact that General Zhongwu had died in vain due to negligence and even the son of the Yun family to coerce General Zhongwu, and they should not have thought that General Zhongwu was ready to apologize for his crimes. And when the Yun family helped Xu Liqian recruit this private army, they still deceived some people who didn't know the details in the name of training alternate soldiers for the Yulin Army, they listened to Xu Liqian's rhetoric and protected Xu Liqian's life, what will happen in the end?

Xu Liqian thinks that he has a lot of power, but none of these can be used by him, Xu Liqian thinks that they are very scheming, but such a fragile relationship is the easiest to break.

Obviously, they are all people who can live in peace, but they have to die well because of Xu Liqian, every time they kill these people who can not be killed, Pei Ze hates Xu Liqian even more, not that he wants to fight for power and position, not that he lets his hands stain more blood, Pei Ze just hates how many innocent people he let die in vain because of a choice against his will, they die unexplained and worthless!

can endure so many years of secret arrangement, it can be seen that Xu Liqian is deeper than Xu Lishan's city government, but unfortunately his mind is not right, the only place he lost to Xu Lishan is that he has never led troops to fight, when Pei Ze and Xu Lishan were galloping on the battlefield, Xu Liqian was at ease by Yun Shufei's side. Watching a war is not the same as having fought a war.

In the end, the private army brought by Xu Liqian was no match for the regular army, Chu Liang and Xu Ren did not show mercy to their subordinates, only corpses were left everywhere, and there was not a single living mouth, they didn't want to have any more troubles.

Therefore, soon only Xu Liqian was left.

Xu Ren wiped his nose and said dissatisfiedly: "If they hadn't been hiding and couldn't come out, Lao Tzu would have sent them on the road a long time ago!" ”

Pei Ze also put away the knife: "Xu Ren, tie up Xu Liqian and hand it over to Jiang Shan." If Concubine Yun Shu on the city tower is still angry, she will also hand it over to Jiang Shan. ”

These two people could not be killed casually, they had to be convicted and announced to the world, and then executed publicly.

Pei Ze walked back to Xiao Yanzhi's side, bent down and took Xiao Yanzhi's hand to hold it, and then asked He Yan and Zhang Shaosheng, "Where are the other people in the mansion?" ”

Zhang Shaosheng immediately replied: "Back to King Wucheng, knowing that Xu Liqian is coming, the prince will let them all hide." ”

"Yes," Pei Ze thought about it, but still bent down and hugged Xiao Yanzhi, and said, "Let everyone go to the Shu King's Mansion and come back when this place is cleaned up." ”

"Yes." He Yan and Zhang Shaosheng responded in unison, and then went to find others with Xu Ren.

Pei Ze hugged Xiao Yanzhi and strode away from this place full of blood.

Entering the gate of the Shu Palace, Xiao Yanzhi looked around curiously, and then chuckled: "This is the second time I have entered the Shu Palace, right?" This is where I should be. ”

"Where should you stay?" Pei Ze raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yanzhi, "The place where you should stay is where there is me." What about the injuries on the body? ”

"Uh......" Xiao Yanzhi looked away, "It's almost good." ”

"Too good to be true?"

Pei Ze repeated, then raised his foot and kicked open the door of the bedroom, walked quickly to the side of the bed and put down Xiao Yanzhi, Xiao Yanzhi didn't have time to stop it, Pei Ze directly took off Xiao Yanzhi's shoes and socks, and when he rolled up his trouser legs, he saw Xiao Yanzhi's calves wrapped in gauze.

"I didn't have this gauze when I left." Pei Ze glared at Xiao Yanzhi coldly.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at the inside of the bed and said in a low voice: "You remember wrong, you were entangled before you left." ”

Pei Ze stared at Xiao Yandao: "I never missed your business. ”

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and stopped talking.

Pei Ze sighed secretly, turned around and sat down on the edge of the bed, and asked again, "Are you okay with this time?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips, suddenly climbed into Pei Ze's arms and shrank up, and said in a low voice: "It's not good, it's not good at all, it's not good for me if you're not there, I'm the only one left now, and you're not here." ”

At first glance, Pei Ze thought that Xiao Yanzhi was just coquettish, after all, it could be seen from the situation that he had suffered a lot of grievances during this time, but looking down at Xiao Yanzhi's expression, Pei Ze knew that he was wrong, and then thought carefully about what Xiao Yanzhi said that he was the only one left, Pei Ze was stunned.

Could it be Majesty......

Pei Ze couldn't help hugging Xiao Yanzhi tightly and comforted: "I won't leave you alone in the future, I will take you wherever I go." ”

"Yes." Xiao Yanzhi replied in a low voice, and a trace of crying could be faintly heard.

Pei Ze asked again: "What's wrong with the injury on the leg?" ”

Originally, it was said that although the bones were broken, they were not misplaced, as long as Xiao Yanzhi did not move, he would be able to grow well after a while, but after this period of time, Xiao Yanzhi had gauze tied to his calf, and there was blood oozing on the gauze.

Xiao Yanzhi replied in a low voice: "I was besieged by the left and right guards in the Liangyi Palace, and when I stood up and walked, my bones poked out." When the doctor corrected it, he died of pain. ”

Left and right Weiwei? I should have slashed Xu Liqian again just now! This bastard!

"Does it still hurt?" Pei Ze kissed Xiao Yanzhi on the forehead.

"It hurts......" Xiao Yanzhi drilled into Pei Ze's arms again.

Pei Ze was very distressed, and said with annoyance: "I'm sorry, I should have come back earlier." ”

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "It's okay if you're fine." Hurt? ”

"Nope."

"Really?" Xiao Yanzhi raised his head and looked at Pei Ze suspiciously.

Pei Ze smiled and said, "Do you want to check it out?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi blinked, then sat up and began to untie Pei Ze's belt.

Pei Ze was taken aback, and hurriedly pressed Xiao Yanzhi's hand: "Come really?" ”

"You said it yourself." Xiao Yanzhi frowned and looked at Pei Ze.

Pei Ze said helplessly: "It's really not injured."

"Then why don't you let me see it?"

Pei Ze stared at Xiao Yanzhi, and saw that Xiao Yanyi's face was firm, and he had to ask for a result, Pei Ze could only say honestly: "I have been patient since you were injured, and I haven't seen you for a few days, I can't guarantee that I can bear it if you touch me again." ”

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and looked at Pei Ze, and then continued to untie Pei Ze's belt: "The injury on the ribs is almost better, and the injury on the leg is in the calf, if you miss this time, you may not be able to touch me in three years next time." ”

He probably has to keep filial piety for the emperor, right? The important thing is that he wants to do it now, wants to forget what happened during this time, wants peace of mind, and wants Pei Ze.

Pei Ze was stunned for a moment, then roared in annoyance, and turned around to overwhelm Xiao Yanzhi.

Three years of filial piety......
