"My name is Ma Xiaoyao." Ma Yaoyao said weakly.

"Escape the world! People live a lifetime, just for the word leisure! Well, that's a good name! That's great! Duanmu Fenglei praised.

"You've won a prize......"

"Little brother, I see that you have an extraordinary appearance, and you show extraordinary momentum between your gestures, you shouldn't be an ordinary person, right?"

“…… Brother, I read it wrong, I am just an ordinary person, I unintentionally embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, and then I began to cultivate hard, as for the momentum you are talking about...... It's all fake...... You're reading ...... wrong."

"Huh...... Maybe I'm wrong. ”

……

In a lonely and empty cell, two men who have never known each other begin a long journey of chatting.

"You are a man of great wisdom." Duanmu Fenglei sighed: "Especially for the part of the rulers...... It's a pity...... If I had met you earlier, I wouldn't have been usurped, let alone under house arrest. ”

"Usurpation?" Ma Xiaoyao sensitively heard a word: "You used to be ......"

"I'll tell you the truth, I used to be the emperor." Duanmu Fenglei said: "Not long after I ascended the throne, I began to rectify the rule of officials, maybe my method is wrong, and the officials below complained...... Later, my younger brother joined forces with these officials to remove me from the throne...... I have been under house arrest since then...... Counting the time, it's been several years......"

"You can do it." Ma Xiaoyao pouted: "How can you let others usurp the throne?" You're so ...... It's stupid! ”

"yes." Duanmu Fenglei nodded: "I'm really stupid!" Or too soft-hearted, always lenient with those who have different intentions, over time, these people are not afraid of me, plus my brother is insidious and cunning, very good at winning people's hearts...... Alas...... Whenever I think about it, I want to die in depression. ”

"I'm curious." Ma Xiaoyao raised a question: "Since your brother dares to usurp the throne, it means that he doesn't care about family affection at all, and he doesn't take you, the eldest brother, in his eyes...... It stands to reason that he should kill you directly, so that he can never suffer again. ”

"He's trying to kill me." Duanmu Fenglei lightly exhaled a sullen breath: "But...... He had scruples, and he didn't want to bear the infamy of killing my brother, so he put me under house arrest and left me to fend for myself, which was especially painful for me...... I couldn't see the sun every day, I couldn't see my wife and children, I didn't have anyone to talk to, and I ate poorly...... Rather than live like this, you might as well kill me. ”

"It's better to die than to live." Ma Xiaoyao comforted: "As long as you live, there is hope to get out of trouble...... As an emperor, the first element is to learn to be ruthless. ”

Duanmu Fenglei nodded: "You are right, the reason why I failed is that I was too soft-hearted, if I do it again, I will definitely not be soft-hearted again!" ”

"I might be able to help you get out......" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes rolled slightly: "I can even help you restore the throne......"

"Don't kid me." Duanmu Fenglei didn't believe it at all.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Ma Xiaoyao pouted: "Forget it, since you don't believe me, then I won't say it, you can stay here for the rest of your life." ”

"You...... Do you really have a way to get me out? Duanmu Fenglei's eyes showed a light of hope: "You can even help me restore the throne?" ”

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Yes, although it is a little difficult, but ...... There is still hope, provided that ...... You must cooperate with me. ”

"Cooperate, I will definitely cooperate with you." Duanmu Fenglei nodded hurriedly.

"I have one more condition......"

"You say!"

"When you restore the throne, give me some orchid grass." This is the biggest reason why Ma Xiaoyao decided to help Duanmu Wind Thunder, if it weren't for Lan Yecao, he wouldn't be too lazy to take care of Duanmu Wind Thunder.

"No problem!" Duanmu Fenglei agreed without hesitation: "As long as you help me restore the throne, I will not only give you Lanye grass, but I will also crown you as a general!" Command the three armies! ”

"Forget it, the general." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "I'm not interested in being an official." ”

"Then I'll give you gold, silver, and jewelry......"

"Listen, the main reason why I'm helping you is for the orchid grass, and I'm not interested in anything else."

"Okay! I promise you'll find it! ”

"Let's discuss it later, it's not a simple matter to restore the throne, first we have to find a way to get out of here...... By the way, you should have some diehards, right? Ma Xiaoyao asked.

Duanmu Fenglei was stunned: "Diehard? ”

"That's right, since you have been the emperor, you should have cultivated a lot of diehards, right?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.

"This ......" Duanmu Fenglei's expression was a little embarrassed: "To be honest...... The diehard I cultivated...... It's not much......"

"Not much? Why not much? Ma Xiaoyao asked, "There is always such a group of people, right?" ”

"A group of people...... Only a few ......"

"How many?"

"Three or five......

"......" Ma Xiaoyao was really speechless: "You...... This emperor is really a failure! ”

Duanmu Fenglei nodded: "It's really a failure." ”

"It doesn't matter if you have fewer diehards...... The key is...... The identity of these die-hard loyalists ......" Ma Xiaoyao said: "Do they have much power in their hands?" 1510 said, don't hide it, don't exaggerate, because this is directly related to your restoration of the throne. ”

"Well, how many of them...... The official position is not too high...... But there are still some ...... real powers," Duanmu Fenglei said: "There are two who still hold military power in their hands. ”

"They're okay with your loyalty, right?"

"Absolutely! I saved their lives, and they are grateful to me. ”

"Your brother doesn't know about this, does he?"

"I don't know! I don't usually have much contact with these die-hard loyalists, and my brother definitely doesn't know about our relationship. ”

"Well, you've finally done a clever thing."

"This is my last hole card."

"There are three things we need to do, and as long as these three things are successful, then you may be able to restore the throne."

"What three things?"

"First, get out smoothly, and second, contact those diehards to make sure they don't defect! The third, and most important, is to get rid of your brother! Only if your brother dies will you be able to reclaim the throne! ”

"Does this have to be done?" Duanmu Fenglei frowned.

Ma Yao pouted crookedly: "When is this coming, are you still soft-hearted?" What did you just say? You said that if you could do it all over again, you would never relent! How did what you just say change when you just say it? ”

"Okay! Listen to you! Get rid of it, get rid of it! Duanmu Fenglei gritted his teeth and said, it's not that he doesn't care about family affection, it's that his younger brother is too much.

"Well, then let's talk about how to get out of here."

In the next few hours, the two began to plot how to escape.

After discussing for a long time, the two of them came up with a more successful solution, that is, to play dead!

That's right, it's to play dead!

As long as they are "dead", the jailers will definitely get them out, and then there will be a chance to get out of trouble.

In order to make things more realistic and not arouse the suspicion of the jailer, the two began to pretend to be sick, getting weaker and weaker day by day, as Ma Xiaoyao guessed, the jailer didn't care at all, let alone go to the doctor to treat the two, maybe Duanmu Fenglei's own brother had already confessed, let Duanmu Fenglei fend for himself, as for Ma Xiaoyao...... It's even more insignificant, if you die, you're dead, it's not a big deal.

So far, Ma Xiaoyao has not figured out the reason why he was arrested.

After pretending to be sick for a few days, Ma Xiaoyao and Duanmu Fenglei naturally "died", and the two of them lay on the ground, holding their breath vigorously, motionless, and acting very realistically, at least the jailer couldn't see the flaws.

As Ma Xiaoyao guessed, several jailers found out that the two of them were dead and carried them out of the prison directly, but what happened next deviated from Ma Xiaoyao's prediction.

Ma Xiaoyao was thrown directly into the mass grave, and Duanmu Fenglei was sent to the palace, maybe Duanmu Fenglei's younger brother found out with his conscience, or it was to show the world, and he was actually ready to collect Duanmu Fenglei, so it completely disrupted Ma Xiaoyao and Duanmu Fenglei's plan.

After the jailer left, Ma Xiaoyao quietly got up and left the mass grave, and he secretly said in his heart: Duanmu Fenglei, the plan has changed, and then it's up to you!

A few days later, a shocking news came out of the palace! Duanmu Fenglei was reinstated, as for his younger brother...... He died of illness.

After hearing the news, Ma Yao was stunned for a long time, this Duanmu Wind Thunder actually succeeded? How did he do it? Well, since he succeeded, then I don't need to hide anymore, just go to him and ask for Lan Yecao.

After making up his mind, Ma Xiaoyao came directly to the palace, and after several checkpoints, he saw Duanmu Fenglei in the main hall, Duanmu Fenglei at this moment has changed its appearance, wearing a crown, wearing a dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, the momentum is calm, mighty, and can no longer see the decadence and embarrassment in prison.

"Haha......" As soon as he saw Ma Yaoyao, Duanmu Fenglei cracked his mouth and laughed: "Why did you come?" I'm tired of waiting! ”

"Dude...... Oh no, you should be called the Emperor now. Ma Xiaoyao changed his title very measuredly, his identity was different, and his tone and title should also change: "I can take the liberty of asking...... How did you do that? ”

"It's all luck." Duanmu Fenglei sighed: "At that time, I was sent to the palace, and then I was put in a coffin, and then my brother came over, and I stabbed him to death while he was not looking, and then ...... I was reinstated with the support of some ministers. Speaking of this, Duanmu Fenglei added: "My brother has no heirs, he is dead, and the throne can only belong to me." ”

"You're in luck." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "If you fail to assassinate, then your result ......"

"Looking back now, I'm a little scared." Duanmu Fenglei sighed: "At that time, my brother was drunk and not very responsive, and he actually came to talk to me, giving me a chance to assassinate. "Luck is really important, don't look at your cultivation is high, maybe you will die in the end, on the one hand, it is negligence, on the other hand, it is also bad luck.

"Your Majesty, since you have successfully reinstated the throne, what about ...... Is that okay for me to give me orchid leaves? Ma Xiaoyao asked.

"Don't rush yet." Duanmu Fenglei waved his hand.

"How can you not be in a hurry?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned, what does this Duanmu Wind Thunder mean, it won't be to regret it, right?

"I've had people check it." Duanmu Fenglei said: "The orchid leaf grass in the imperial pharmacy has been used up......"

"What? Running out? Ma Xiaoyao was anxious when he heard this.

"Don't get excited." Duanmu Fenglei waved his hand: "I have already sent someone out to look for it, there should be news soon, don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely give it to you." ”

"That's good." Ma Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could get the orchid leaf grass, it didn't matter if he waited a few more days: "By the way, who caught me?" Why are you arresting me? "This matter has always been Ma Xiaoyao's heart disease, and I must take this opportunity to figure it out today.

"I've looked into it." Duanmu Fenglei said: "A few days ago, a group of soldiers withdrew from the front line, and when they passed by a village, they found that you were covered in blood and didn't look like a good person, so they arrested you, and in order to avoid accidents, they fed you wind spirit grass and sealed your dantian." ”

"It's as simple as that?"

Duanmu Fenglei nodded: "Yes, it's that simple!" You can say that you have suffered an unjustified disaster. ”

Ma Yao's expression became very exciting, Nima! Why are you so unlucky! But luckily...... The other party did not find out that he was an outsider, otherwise, the trouble would definitely be even greater.

See if you don't look like a good person and arrest him? This is really unreasonable!

"In this way, you will stay with me while you are looking for the orchid leaf grass." Duanmu Fenglei smiled: "I need your help now!" ”

"My ability is limited, I'm afraid I'm ......" Ma Xiaoyao habitually wanted to refuse.

"You're too modest." Duanmu Fenglei waved his hand: "Although I haven't been in contact with you for a long time, I can also see that you are a rare talent!" Since it is a talent, it must be reused! ”

"I ......" Ma Xiaoyao was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Duanmu Fenglei.

"You can help me straighten out the rules." Duanmu Fenglei directly arranged a task for Ma Xiaoyao: "I will give you the title of a minister of the Qin Mission, except for me, you have the right to review everyone else, and I will also give you the sword of Shang Fang!" There is the right to cut first and then play! ”

"This can't be done......" Ma Xiaoyao definitely can't accept it.

"If you refuse, then it's hard to talk about finding orchid leaf grass." Duanmu Fenglei said lightly.

"You're threatening me?" Ma Xiaoyao's face sank.

"I'm just explaining the situation to you." Duanmu Fenglei said with a smile: "You help me rectify the rule of officials, I can free up my hands to do other things, including looking for orchid grass, if you don't help me rectify the bureaucracy, then I can only be responsible for it personally, then I will be very busy at that time, and the mood will not be good, so I will not have time and mood to look for orchid grass." ”
