Xiling Du Yao Mubai was already cold at the moment.

In any case, he didn't expect that there was such an amazing conspiracy hidden behind the matter.

After Xiling was controlled by the three major families, the attitude of the imperial court towards Xiling has always been divided into two factions.

One faction is led by General Hei Yu, who always wants to take Xiling back into the possession of the empire, while the other faction once felt that after the empire went through civil strife, the burden was heavy, and there was really no need to spend too much manpower and financial resources on Xiling's side.

As long as Xiling does not fall into the hands of the Woods, is controlled by the Xiling family, nominally belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and can be used as a buffer zone between the Woods and the Woods, and does not waste a grain in the imperial court, this is not a bad thing.

The three major families of Xiling naturally also know that the general has always had the wish to return to Xiling, if Xiling is too peaceful, it will be fine, but whenever there is a turbulent situation, the imperial court will definitely intervene, and once there is a battle between the families, the general will immediately lead the army out of the customs.

If the Fan family wants to control Xiling, they have to face the other two families, and it is precisely because of the existence of the general that even if the Fan family really has strong strength, they do not dare to launch sword soldiers against the other two families on the bright side.

Because of this, Yao Mubai, the protector of Xiling, is almost a nominal ornament.

But because of the existence of General Black Feather, the empire did not completely abandon Xiling.

From taking advantage of the rebellion of the White Wolf Department to forge a secret letter, to making trouble at the birthday banquet today, the whole plan has been carried out step by step, one ring after another, which is really extremely insidious.

"The general is wrong." Bai Jingzhai shook his head and said: "Today's banquet is definitely not to murder the general, on the contrary, it is to worship the general!" ”

And the final plan was to use the Yuwen family to get rid of the Zhen family, and together with the swords and soldiers, the general immediately went out of the customs, and used the general to deter the Yuwen family, so that the Yuwen family collapsed instantly.

In the name of assisting the general to return to Xiling, the Fan family hid behind the scenes and concealed their true intentions.

The general looked at Fan Ziqi, silent, and a hint of irony appeared on the corners of his lips.

"The saint should have received my excerpt." The general said slowly: "In fact, a long time ago, the sage had already promised, but if there is turmoil in Xiling, the three thousand immortal troops can be immediately mobilized to Xiling. Since Pei Shiqing has been transferred to Xiling by the North Courtyard, the Immortal Army will soon be transferred over. Staring at Fan Ziqi's eyes, he asked, "Ben will want to know, why do you think you can swallow Xiling?" ”

"Greetings?"

Bai Jingzhai smiled and said, "The general thinks that we let you out of the customs, really just want you to bring down the Yuwen family?" Wrong, the general is one of the best generals in the Tang Dynasty, vertical and horizontal, we invite you out of the customs, we want to ask you to achieve great things with us. ”

The well is like a well, slowly swaying with old fine lines: "You can think that after the army is raised, the Immortal Army will quickly enter the customs to quell the chaos, but you don't care, naturally you have already thought of countermeasures." ”

Fan Ziqi smiled and said: "As long as the general is with us, the imperial court will know that they will not even dare to send the Immortal Army, they will be worried that the Immortal Army who will leave the customs will most likely turn their guns and point the spearhead at Kyoto." ”

Fan Ziqi nodded slightly and said: "The Immortal Army was powerful in the world, and the people of the Tang Dynasty were in awe of this army and horses. However, many people seem to have forgotten that the reason why the immortal army is famous all over the world is not because of how many battles they have won, but because in the bloody battle with the Vedas that year, they fought to the end, and they were just the remnants of the capital army back then. Fu Xu said with a smile: "Datang has three soldiers and horses that are powerful in the world, the southern Xuanjia, the Kyoto Shence and the northern Changsheng, with all due respect, the three elite soldiers, Changsheng can only be at the bottom, whether it is combat merit or strength, it is far from being comparable to the Xuanjia Army and the Shence Army." ”

"The Immortal Army is not the strongest soldier and horse, but it is more than enough to destroy the Fan family." The general's eyes are like ancient

A sarcastic smile tugged at the corner of the general's lips: "In that case, you should know that it is impossible for Ben to be in the same league as you." He slowly stood up and said, "Ben will walk out of the gate with the Night Raven now, I want to see, how do you stop me?" ”

He didn't hesitate, and said in a deep voice: "Support each other, follow me." "Walk up.

The general let out an "oh" and asked, "Why do you think I'm going to rebel with you?" Where do you get your confidence? ”

"Because the general is a man of loyalty." Fan Ziqi said: "It's even more because the general is a real Tang Dynasty soldier." ”

"Since you are a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, you should be loyal to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Fan Ziqi slowly stood up and stared at the general: "The saint on the dragon chair in Kyoto is the traitor who usurped the Tang Dynasty, the demon woman who troubled the world, the real Tang Emperor, not in Kyoto, but in Xiling." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was surprised, and the hall, which was originally very silent, turned heads and ears for a while, and became noisy.

Yao Mubai, Pei Shiqing and other officials immediately followed, and before the general walked to the door, Fan Ziqi had already said coldly: "Does the general want to turn his back on Datang?" ”

The general stopped, turned his head, and looked at Fan Ziqi with a strange gaze.

Yao Mubai glanced at the general, and when he saw the general's grim expression, he couldn't help but say: "The first emperor Emperor Dezong died, leaving only two princesses, and no prince inherited the throne..... is also today's saint, the saint is today's Tang Emperor, where is anyone else? ”

Fan Ziqi smiled faintly, looked at the general and said, "General, if the first emperor's bloodline is alive and he is a prince, is he qualified to inherit the throne?" ”

The general's brow furrowed.

"Does the general not believe it?" Fan Ziqi asked.

There was another commotion in all directions, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing which Tang prince Fan Ziqi was talking about.

The general turned around, and the tiger's eyes swept over everyone present.

The general's expression was even more solemn, and he finally spoke: "The first emperor did not have a prince. ”

"The general is wrong, the first emperor has at least one prince alive, and it is in Xiling." Fan Ziqi said: "It's even in this hall." ”

Fan Ziqi took two steps back, bowed slightly, and under the gaze of everyone, he saw the man who pushed Bai Jingzhai's wheelchair out and stepped forward slowly.

He was burly, with a steady pace and a shallow smile, he took a few steps forward and arched his hand to the general: "General Jiumu."

"If the blood of the former emperor is here, and he is the heir of the orthodox empire, should the general be loyal?" Fan Ziqi carried his back with one hand, stared at the general and asked: "The general is a loyal and righteous person, is it the duty to help the bloodline of the emperor and restore the Tang Dynasty?" ”

The general didn't speak, but Yao Mubai couldn't help but ask, "Who is the bloodline of the emperor you are talking about?" The first emperor only had two princesses, when did he have one more prince? ”

Previously, this person came out in a wheelchair, and everyone paid attention to Bai Jingzhai, only thinking that this person was a famous servant, so naturally no one paid attention to him.

At this time, when I saw him come out, I was surprised, and I looked carefully, and saw that this person had a beard, and the beard was thick, almost covering half of his face, but a pair of eyes were huge, like copper bells, just because the beard was too thick, his age was not easy to identify, but it was estimated that he was around thirty years old.

The great name is very happy to see it today. ”

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on this person.

The surname Li is a national surname, but now the saint has reverted to the surname Xiahou, and the surname Li is no longer a royal surname.

Yao Mubai's body shook and said, "You are the so-called royal bloodline?" ”

The general also looked this person up and down, looked grim, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm a camel." The beard said: "But the real surname should be Li, and the real surname should be Li Huo!" ”

Li Huo also ignored Yao Mubai and Pei Shiqing's words, and took out something from his arms, and someone on the side could see clearly that it was a yellow jade pendant.

He walked forward slowly, still a few steps away from the general, and the two twisted jade pendant strings, showing the yellow jade pendant in front of the general.

Pei Shiqing sneered: "Lord Yao, if the Fan family wants to rebel, they must always erect a flagpole. I don't know where I found a random person, pretending to be the blood of the emperor, and I was ashamed to say that he was the prince of the empire, such a little trick is really ridiculous and generous. ”

"Not bad." Yao Mubai knows that the stakes are very high, if it really makes people think that this person in front of him is the bloodline of the first emperor, it will definitely set off a monstrous storm, don't say that this person is unknown, even if he really has a relationship with the first emperor, then he must not admit the identity of this person, and sneered: "Lord Fan, you are disobedient to the imperial court, and it is a heinous crime, and now you are even more guilty of finding someone to pretend to be the prince of the empire." ”

The corners of the general's eyes twitched slightly.

"The royal double dragon jade pendant, made by the imperial superintendent in the palace." Li Huo said slowly: "Needless to say, its craftsmanship is needless to say, except for the imperial superintendent in the palace, the folk rarely see such a process, and the imperial superintendent has unique skills, even if the folk can imitate, the imperial superintendent can also distinguish the real from the fake at a glance." The jade pendant is made of mountain topaz, the general and you should know that the mountain topaz is also known as the emperor of jade, precious and rare, as early as the previous dynasty, the mountain topaz was set as the royal jade, the common people naturally can not circulate, even if it is a high-ranking official and noble, must not use the mountain topaz. ”

The jade pendant shook gently, but it was a double dragon jade pendant, glowing with a faint yellow light under the lights.

The general's eyes are like torches, but he can also see clearly, only to see the jade pendant carved with a double dragon, the head of the dragon is in front, the head is slightly raised, the corners of the mouth are broad, the lips are upturned, the double dragon arches from the left and right to both sides, that is, symmetrical and neat, and there is no lack of agility, vivid and interesting, the carving is exquisite, full of royal majesty.

Mountain topaz is rare in the world, and ordinary people have never even seen it, let alone used it.

Li Huo just took out the Shuanglong jade pendant, and many people were still a little strange, wondering how this jade pendant could be such a color, and then they knew that it was made of mountain topaz.

"The double dragon jade pendant made of mountain topaz by the imperial superintendent can only be worn by the emperor." Li Huo stared at the general and said, "This jade pendant, can it prove my identity?" ”
