The grassland in the early morning, the mist curls, from a distance, beautiful and picturesque.

Suddenly, a vulture chirped in mid-air, stretched its huge gray-black wings, and circled and fell. Following its covetous gaze, I saw that the verdant grass was actually bloody, like a hell on earth.

Everywhere there were dead people, severed arms and stumps, swords and bodies, and countless pairs of blank or cold eyes staring at the sky, dead and blind.

A small sachet was left on a blood-stained Ma Lanhua, and the geese delicately embroidered on the stone blue background also revealed a dull light.

"Young Master! Gentleman! ”

A mournful call came from the other side of the hill. A tall, embarrassed little guy wiping away tears that he couldn't stop, all the way, all the way to find. When he saw the small sachet, his eyes immediately straightened.

Almost rushed over, picked up this small blood-stained sachet, held it in the palm of his hand, and opened it to see that there were two strands of hair braided together of different colors, his eyes became more and more panicked and urgent.

Trembling and flipped through the corpse next to him, fortunately, it was not the familiar face. If you look to the side, it's not.

But what about the eldest young master of his family, where did he go? How will he explain to his family when he goes back!

The little guy sat on the ground and cried, unspeakably sad and sad.

In the big tent of the Qiyan clan, Princess Lechang shrank into a ball in horror, her face was full of dirt, and she completely lost her usual pride.

Suddenly, the curtain moved, and a short, sharp-eyed young man walked in and sat down in front of her.

"Don't come here. Stay back! Le Chang shouted inwardly, and shrank more and more to hide in the corner.

Zhuo Rilie smiled slightly, "Don't be afraid, princess, you are now under my protection, and I will definitely keep you safe." ”

"I don't believe it, you, you're going to let me go!" Le Chang was so anxious that he was incoherent, and shouted desperately, "I'm the princess of the Great Liang, you can't kill me." You can't kill me! ”

"Who said I'm going to kill you?" Zhuo Rilie looked into her eyes. As if looking at an insignificant prey, "Zhuog is my brother, even if he is not there, I will take good care of you on his behalf." Oh yes. According to the custom of our steppe. Even if he's dead. You can also marry our brothers and uncles without worrying about being widowed. ”

"I don't want it!" Le Chang shouted hoarsely, "I want to go back." I haven't married him yet, I'm going back to Daliang! If you don't let me go, I will definitely write to my father and ask him to send troops to crusade against you and kill you!" ”

Zhuo Rilie smiled faintly, "The princess must be confused, the people who came to attack you yesterday are obviously those tribes on the grassland who are fighting with your Daliang, if I hadn't arrived in time with the troops, I'm afraid that even the princess would have become their prisoner." If you don't thank me for saving my life, why should you blame me? ”

Thinking of the unforeseen fight last night, Le Chang's heart was still trembling.

Zhuo Ge told her that he would make a play, pretending to send someone to attack the team and frame him for the eldest brother, and told her to remember that when she arrived at the Qiyan tribe, she said that she saw with her own eyes that it was the order of the eldest prince to help him seize the leadership of the tribe.

But at the beginning of the battle, it was not at all what she imagined.

As soon as Zhuo Ge's ambush soldiers pulled out to fight Gongsun Hong's team, a group of people rushed out of nowhere and began to slaughter mercilessly.

It's just that Zhuo Rilie saved her and didn't care about the others, and Le Chang inevitably resented in his heart, "Why don't you save Zhuo Ge?" ”

The corners of Zhuo Rilie's mouth hooked up with a touch of mockery, and he looked at Le Chang's gaze as if he was looking at an idiot, "I always thought that Zhuo Ge was very powerful, who knew he would be so useless?" This was indeed my mistake. ”

You! Lechang felt humiliated, but he secretly complained that Zhuo Ge was useless, and he couldn't protect her.

"The eldest prince," suddenly, someone at the door reported, "There is a small servant outside, saying that it is a subordinate of the envoy Ouyang family, and he wants to go back, what do you think?" ”

Lechang hurriedly said, "I want to go back too!" ”

Zhuo Rilie glanced at her again and said, "If the princess must go back, I can send someone to escort you away." But you have to be prepared, don't you? Otherwise, what if there is another attack? ”

Lechang choked and stopped talking.

Zhuo Rilie smiled and left. When he returned to his tent, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water.

Bo Rile quickly followed and said, "In addition to the envoy named Ouyang Kang, Gongsun Hong is also missing. How can we explain to the Liang Dynasty this time? It's not good, but it's going to make a big mess. ”

Zhuo Rilie snorted, a little reluctant, "Although this time I have suffered a heavy setback for Zhuo Ge, I have also taken advantage of those people in the alliance." For the rest of the matter, I have to trouble my uncle to go to the Great Liang Dynasty to explain it in person, and then send the princess and the rest of the people back. Such a stupid woman, staying in the grassland is also a waste of food! ”

Bozhle nodded and asked again, "What about her dowry?" In a big battle like yesterday, you lost a lot, do you want to pay for the sorghum? ”

Zhuo Rilie sneered, "We worked hard to save her life, what about giving some dowry?" The rest of the valuable things are all collected and kept secret. Now that we are in the war, we still need the support of the beam, how can we have the money for her? At most, find a few pieces of skin, and forget the meaning. Next, it is better to concentrate on solving the problems on the grassland. ”

Bozhile smiled and went out to work.

As for the life or death of Gongsun Hong and Ouyang Kang, it is not in their hearts, so they inquired slowly.

The horse's hooves broke through the mountain road and galloped all the way.

The two guards who followed Nianfu were secretly frightened, don't look at this county lord is a golden branch and jade leaf, he is really ruthless, since he hit the road, except for eating and drinking, he has almost never stopped. According to this way, it is estimated that they can arrive at General Huo's military camp earlier than the emperor requires.

Just thinking like this, he suddenly heard a strange noise in the woods, "County Lord be careful!" ”

Before he opened his mouth to warn, he heard the sound of whistling wind on both sides, breaking through the air, and he was ambushed by someone!

Nianfu pulled the reins of the horse suddenly, and the guards who were originally beside her had already rushed forward, swinging their knives at the arrows that were as fast as meteors and locusts on the left and right.

After Nianfu saw clearly that there was no tripping trap on the ground, she gritted her teeth and waved her hand, and an invisible firelight suddenly surrounded her left and right, and even if all the arrows touched her, they were quickly dissolved.

And the blessing horse does not stop, and continues to rush forward.

Those attackers were stunned, obviously looking at the arrows shooting, why were they suddenly gone?

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Stop! Stop! ”

Nianfu vaguely heard it, how could this voice be so familiar?

But she didn't have time to think about it, and she had already rushed over. And the two guards followed her and rushed out of the encirclement together. I was also full of surprise, how did this rush out?

And when the ambush people were stunned, they all scolded the man who spoke, "What's the matter with you?" The general ordered us to lay an ambush on the road to Yanshui Pass, and if we encounter someone who asks for help, we will not be killed, have you forgotten? ”

"I haven't forgotten! But I can't kill my friends! As the man spoke, he ripped off his face towel, and it turned out to be Zheng San, the hunter of Wuma Peak.

The capital is already a bloody storm at this time.

Above the court, even though there is the coercion of the King of Jin, there are always some loyal people in this world who are not afraid of life and death, and dare to use their blood to win a reputation for eternity.

What's more, the King of Jin has a heavy army, but he has not yet reached the point of controlling the entire capital. For example, Sun Shu, the Duke of Dingguo, and Guan Tianxiao, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, all have soldiers in their hands, as well as the King of Qi and the King of Chu, and they also control a certain amount of military power in their hands, which should not be underestimated.

"Will this king still lie to you? The emperor has died, and he personally ordered the king to inherit the throne before the big line. If you don't accept it, you don't obey it! ”

The Yin Owl face of the King of Jin swept over the disobedient courtiers, and his heart was like fire.

He didn't understand, what's wrong with him?

In terms of military exploits, he is the greatest among all the princes, and in terms of ability, he also feels that he is the best among the princes, but why, these people just don't obey him?

Lord Liao, who was ranked in the Nine Qings, stood up slightly and said, "The prince said that the emperor is here, what about the holy decree?" What about witnesses? ”

King Jin hatefully threw out an eye knife, "This king has already said that there was a small disturbance at that time, and he set fire to His Majesty's bedroom, although this king received a wire report and rushed to the palace, but he was still a step late." The father didn't have time to make a holy decree, and he didn't have time to summon witnesses! ”

Liao Tingwei said with a face full of age spots, "Since this is the case, there is no evidence, and the old minister is not convinced!" Whether it is in the country or at home, it has always been a succession, why is the king of Chu still here, but he will set you up? ”

King Jin's temper hooked up, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with this old man anymore, so he directly drew his sword and pointed at Liao Tingwei and said, "If Lord Liao doesn't believe it, you can go to Jiuquan and ask your father!" ”

"King Jin!" Shoufu He Xian stood up and lowered his anger, "If the emperor is killed, the first thing to bear the brunt of the emperor's funeral should be to preside over the funeral and arrest the murderer, right?" If not, not only will we not be convinced, but even the people of the world will not be convinced. If the king of Jin wants to inherit the unification, he must give the subjects of the world a convincing reason, how can there be a reason to kill the minister in a hurry before his father's funeral? ”

Don't look at him as a civil servant, but in the court, what he said still has a lot of weight. King Jin wants to ascend the throne smoothly, if he can get his support, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Eliminating dissidents is a matter of stability, but at the moment, it is impossible.

Seeing that most of the courtiers stood behind He Xian and seconded the proposal, "We agree with what Lord He said, and request a thorough investigation of the murderer and mourn for Your Majesty!" ”

No matter how much King Jin wanted to go his own way, he had to rein in his edge. Although they knew that these people were delaying tactics, they had to make compromises.

"Okay, check it!"

So, when Ouyang Kang was uncertain about the life and death of Daliang, and when Nianfu risked his life for the safety of the capital, he never imagined that their home was raided.
