Yan Yunpei secretly said in his heart: Oops, but the body doesn't dare to move for half a minute.

He knew—if he moved it again, the blade around his neck would split his neck and body in two.

Now, little by little, the blade was going into his flesh and plundering the city.

At the same time, he also vaguely knew the identity of the man in black.

He couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat.

Life and death are sometimes only in a split second.

Therefore, Yan Yunpei couldn't care so much, and raised a foot and kicked hard at the crotch of the man in black.

As soon as the man was in pain, the whole person fell backwards, but after all, he was a person who had practiced martial arts, and the man quickly kept his body balanced again, and rushed straight towards Yan Yunpei with his sword.

Yan Yunpei had already pulled out the sword he had brought at his waist and immediately fought with it. However, in the end, he was old, his body couldn't keep up, and his neck was injured, so he had the upper hand in a few rounds.

The man immediately took advantage of the momentum to pursue, and the offensive moves were more ruthless than the other.

Soon, Yan Yunpei's right arm was stabbed again.

"Say, who do you propose to the emperor?" The man in black asked in a deep voice.

"I've already answered." Yan Yunpei said.

There is a big sense that I won't say a word more.

The man in black was even more angry, and with a loud roar, he raised his sword and slashed at him.

But in any case, Yan Yunpei has also practiced martial arts, and his skills are different from ordinary people after all, so in the process of his efforts to fight back, the man in black couldn't hurt his vital point.

However, the man in black always had the upper hand.

Yan Yunpei has been forced to the edge of the cliff by him.

From time to time, there were a few low roars of wild beasts from the bottom of the cliff, which made people shudder to listen.

Yan Yunpei's heart was about to rise to the top of her voice.

He didn't want to kill the other party, but he didn't want to be killed by the other party either.

However, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that he will be killed by the other party.

What to do? Yan Yunpei's heart was struggling.

In the end, the desire to survive still surpassed the other qiē, Yan Yunpei decided to fight back, so he rushed towards the man in black despite the qiē.

The man in black sneered and stabbed his sword straight at the place where his heart was.

At this critical moment. In the darkness, a white shadow came with a sword, easily piercing the heart of the man in black from behind.

Because of the excessive force, the man in black was immediately forced to the edge of the cliff.

"Don't ......," Yan Yunpei hurriedly shouted.

In the darkness, no one except the man in black knew the true purpose of his shout.

The man in white suddenly realized something. Hurriedly drew back the sword that had pierced the heart of the man in black, and at the same time pushed the man in black back from the edge of the cliff to the ground.

The man in black then fell to the ground.

Yan Yunpei half-knelt down on his knees and reached out to remove the mask of the man in black.

As he expected, the man in black was the fifth prince.

At this time, the breath of the five princes was close to zero, and his pupils were already dilated.

Yan Yunpei only felt as if his heart had been hit hard, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

The man in white was half-paid and did not say anything.

Not much. The man in white suddenly shouted hoarsely: "Fifth brother." ”

He didn't mean to.

He didn't know that the man in black who carried a sword to assassinate Yan Yunpei was his younger brother.

But how to clean up this situation now?

Yan Yunpei was also dumbfounded.

What a ...... Jumping into the Yellow River can't be washed. Yan Yunpei said secretly.

Yan Yunpei only felt that beads of sweat the size of beans kept flowing down his forehead.

But since the matter has come to this, no matter what, you have to wake up and face it, so Yan Yunpei knelt down towards the place where the man in white was standing and said, "Thank you for saving your life, the third prince!" ”

The third prince replied lightly: "Excuse me." ”

"I'm sorry!" Yan Yunpei said busily again.

Although he has been in charge of the court for more than 20 years, he has not yet dealt with today's situation, so his heart is in chaos.

The third prince did not answer him, but turned to the two teams that were killing and said, "Stop! ”

The crowd immediately stopped.

At this time, the subordinates of the five princes knew that the five princes had died, and they were busy kneeling down to the three princes and Yan Yunpei to beg for mercy.

", roll as far as you want." The three princes said to them.

They immediately fled, crawling and rolling.

"Lord Yan, how do you think I should explain it to the emperor?" The third prince asked.

Yan Yunpei could hear the slight tremor in his voice.

But in the end, this is also manslaughter. No one did it on purpose.

Thinking that the third prince killed his younger brother by mistake to save himself, Yan Yunpei didn't dare to throw all the responsibility to the third prince, so he said with difficulty word by word: "The minister will say that the minister killed him by mistake in self-defense." ”

"So, do you think the emperor will believe it? If the emperor doesn't believe it, do you think the entire Yan family can still save their lives? The third prince asked.

"The third prince killed him by mistake in order to save him, and he can't confess to the third prince in Xia, and he ...... in Xia" Yan Yunpei suddenly felt that his chest hurt as if he had been cut by a knife, and he couldn't say the rest of the words.

The third prince sighed and said, "In any case, since the matter has come to this, then let's face it together." ”

Yan Yunpei, who was flustered, didn't understand what he meant. He looked at him blankly.

At the same time, Yan Yunpei is also thinking about feasible solutions.

"You tell the truth directly to the emperor." The third prince said.

"Then what if the emperor blames you?" Yan Yunpei asked uneasily.

"Since the fifth brother died under my sword, whether I did it intentionally or not, I can't escape the blame. At that time, it will be decided by the emperor. The third prince said.

"But ......," Yan Yunpei said to his lips and hurriedly swallowed.

He wanted to say - but the emperor is planning to make you the heir to the throne, if something like this happens at this time, the world will definitely think that you deliberately killed the five princes, at that time, the prestige you have accumulated over the years will be ruined, and it may also cause the emperor to change his mind.

Yan Yunpei's heart was extremely complicated.

"People are in the rivers and lakes. I can't help myself" for the first time today, he deeply experienced these words.

The third prince said: "Lord Yan, in fact, I am the same as you, I have calculated everything, but I have not counted this one, so there is no need to worry about it anymore, and tell the truth directly to the emperor." ”

Yan Yunpei thought for a while and replied, "Okay." However, the emperor's dragon body has just improved......"

In case the emperor suddenly ...... after learning about this

Yan Yunpei didn't dare to think about it.

The third prince already understood his concerns, so he said, "I will tell the queen mother first, and let the queen mother go and tell my father." ”

This is more or less better than them taking the corpse directly to tell the emperor.

That's all there is to it.

Yan Yunpei nodded and said, "Okay." ”

So everyone returned to the palace with the corpses of the five princes.

Along the way, neither of them said a word.

When he was about to arrive at the palace, Yan Yunpei finally said: "Third prince, in fact, the emperor treats you ...... There are high hopes. ”

"I know. I'll be cautious about this. The third prince replied.

"No matter what, the minister is always ...... Will always stand firmly behind you. Yan Yunpei said again.

After saying this, Yan Yunpei stopped talking.

In the dark, Yan Yunpei couldn't see the expression on the face of the third prince clearly, but he knew that his mood must be extremely complicated.

But no matter what, Yan Yunpei decided to stand firmly on his side. (To be continued.) )
