Next to the dense forest, a large group of men and horses put away their bags, and after a night's rest, they were ready to go. The leader had a sad face on his face and looked in the direction of the imperial city in the distance. Although he traveled quickly for several days, the team was huge, and it took a few days to catch up with a distance of thousands of miles.

If you continue to delay like this, you don't know when you will be able to return to Gyeonggi. At present, the situation is unclear, and several people are also uneasy in their hearts, and they are eager to go to Gyeonggi to investigate the situation first, but the reality is not satisfactory.

A man behind him drove his horse to him, stopped the horse with the reins in his hand, and said, "General, if not, I will accompany you back to Gyeonggi first, and leave the scholar and Lao Xiong to accompany the army." Otherwise, I'm afraid that even if we return to Gyeonggi, it won't help. ”

"It's just that the commander leaves the army in vain, and he will inevitably be punished, how to decide, and ask the general to decide. In the past few days, seeing that the general has been restless all day long, and the whole person has lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, Meng Hu is also worried in his heart.

"I am in a hurry, and I can't take care of much at the moment. After this matter, I will plead guilty to the emperor again. "As Meng Hu said, there is a large army delaying the journey, and when they return to Gyeonggi, I am afraid that the matter is also a foregone conclusion.

"Just do what you say. Lan Qingyue groaned slightly, although there was no war, there was a rule that the commander of the first army was not allowed to leave at will. It's just that after all, it is a matter of human life, and even if he returns to Beijing and is punished, he will not hesitate to do it.

Liumenghu waited in place, Lan Qingyue got off the horse and went to explain the matter to the scholar, and took the opportunity to bring Rat Jiu, just waiting for the three of them to rush to Gyeonggi day and night, hoping that it would not be too late.

After arranging all the matters properly, Lan Qingyue changed clothes with the scholar, and he pretended to be Lan Qingyue in the army to avoid anything going wrong. The two are already of similar stature, as long as he is careful, it will not be a problem to hide from the officers and soldiers in the army.

Thousands of miles away in Gyeonggi, the ministers have been trapped for several days, although Ling Huan does not withhold them from eating, but these days everything is supervised by others, and only Tou Cheng and him will let people leave home.

Those who resisted were kept in check, and they suffered every day. Because the emperor is still alive, if Ling Huan's usurpation of the throne fails, it will definitely be the end of the five horses. Everyone present is still watching, as long as one of the emperor and the Nine Emperor Princes can't support it, they will surrender to the other party, but now it is a stalemate.

Lan Chengcheng sat in the corner of the main hall, his originally handsome face was covered with cyan stubble, and his eyes were bloodshot, looking very embarrassed. There has been no news of his wife and daughter for several days, and I don't know what happened to them. The most worrying thing is her daughter, although she has some skills, but she can't stand the overwhelming net of the Nine Emperor Princes.

Compared to when he was arrested, there were already a few fewer people in the palace, these people were all people who surrendered to Ling Huan, just as he promised, not only sent home to reunite with his family, but he also sent cruel words, when he inherited the unification, they would be the founding heroes.

There are only a few people who surrender to sincerity, after all, although the emperor was imprisoned for a while, but who knows that the emperor will not leave a back hand? There are also the two princes they originally supported also lived well with them, but they were only trapped for a few days, and after a while, they could still support this little suffering.

Outside the hall, Ling Huan sat with Yan Guifei and Ling Xiao, and there were exquisite meals on the table, but they had no appetite for their sons. Ling Huan threw the food in his hand on the table, causing the porcelain plate on the table to bounce together. In the past few days, Ling Huan has been using the principle of both soft and hard, and all kinds of means have poured in, but the results are unsatisfactory.

"These old stubborns, if you keep going, I'll take them to see how hard they can be. "I didn't expect these people to be in, he has said all the good things, and he has used coercion and temptation, but they are still stubborn and irritating.

Yan Guifei stood behind her son to smooth him, watching her son and Ling Xiao work hard these days, her heart also pinched. and his father, even if Huan'er tied him up, he refused to hand over the Yan family's order to mobilize financial resources. She even threatened her father with the lives of her relatives at home, and all she got was his heart-wrenching eyes.

Ling Xiao has not had a good time these days, he promised Xilu that he has not fulfilled his promise, they have shown great dissatisfaction with this delay, if it is not for the good food and drink that has been serving them these days, I am afraid that it will be even more embarrassing. They wandered around Gyeonggi day by day, and spent a lot of money.

Thinking about it after all, it was difficult to calm down, Ling Huan had a look of anger on his face, and threw an urgent report in front of Lan Chengcheng. This is the spy that Ling Xiao planted in the army reported to him, this is the news that Lan Qingyue was seriously injured and died, and Shaoguan has returned with the army.

Lan Chengcheng trembled and picked up the text message in his hand, looking at the few sentences on the letter, his face full of disbelief. This must be false information, just a means used by the Nine Emperor Princes to force them to comply.

He comforted himself in this way, and although his eyes were extremely tired, he never wanted to leave the paper for half a minute, the paper kept shaking in his hands, and the crisp voice betrayed his emotions.

"I don't need to deceive you with such a thing, Lan Qingyue is dead, if you are stubborn, as long as Lan Junyao falls into my hands, I will definitely torture her to the point that she can't survive, she can't die." Ling Huan was furious and threw out cruel words at Lan Chengcheng.

The people on the side saw Lan Chengcheng's desperate appearance, and they didn't know what had happened. The words of the Nine Emperor Princes were like a pebble thrown into the calm water, splashing layers of ripples.

Zhai Shaoshuai was also stunned for a while, that kid had a great fortune, he had only broken out of his appearance over the years, how could he die easily? Besides, the people who followed him were not simple people, Ling Qixuan had asked them to take care of him, this news could not be true.

Ling Xiao also followed Ling Huan into the main hall, and the atmosphere in the main hall was already a little heavy at that time. Afraid that this fire would not burn hard enough, Ling Xiao pulled out the person behind him, who was the person sent by the Western Continent to ally with him this time.

A hoarse voice sounded, which was a tone that belonged exclusively to the Western Continent. "A few days ago, Lan Qingyue led troops to attack our army, and was shot in the back of the heart by our army's archers. What he said was the truth, Lan Qingyue was indeed seriously injured, but she was slowly getting better, and now she was hurrying towards Gyeonggi.

When these words were thrown out, everyone only felt that the place on their chests was tightly pressed by a big stone, so stuffy that they couldn't see through, and the last trace of blood on Lan Chengcheng's face also lost its trace, and the green tendons on his hands burst out, and he glared angrily in the direction of Ling Huan.
