Maybe Bai Qiwei was too rude, and a woman's scream came from the study, the guards, look at me, I look at you, they were a little accustomed to it, they simply closed their eyes on the side and reverie the fragrant scene inside, but at the moment when another scream came out, the black shadow in the rockery suddenly rushed into the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window, and there was a bang, and the guards felt a little wrong, and when they found that the window was knocked through, a scream had already come from the study.

"There are assassins!" At this moment, the sleeping nerves of all the guards were scared away, and the courtyard was suddenly filled with lanterns.

It is indeed an assassin, and it is Yun Lao, entrusted by Xue Yiran before his death, Yun Lao returned to Duliang City again, originally planning to kill Su Yuncheng first, but he was afraid that it would be more difficult to assassinate Bai Qiwei in the future, so he decided to assassinate Bai Qiwei first.

When Yunlai rushed into the study, Bai Qiwei was lying on the palace maid's body, and the man's nerves were the most lax at this time, and his reaction was the slowest. In the heavily guarded palace, Yun Lao knew that the time he could give himself was too limited, so as soon as he entered the study, he judged the general direction by the snort of the palace maid, and then saw Bai Qiwei who was still lying on the palace maid.

Yun Lao, who has always disdained to use hidden weapons, also made an exception this time, before the person arrived, he first unceremoniously hit three plum blossom darts, and then the sword in his hand slashed towards Bai Qiwei's head like lightning.

Bai Qiwei himself is also a master, and he reacted quickly at this time, and turned over and used the palace maid under him as a shield, and the poor woman, after being rudely taken away for the first time, was hit by three hidden weapons, and fainted on the spot.

Bai Qiwei, who escaped the catastrophe, threw the palace maid to Yun Lao, and the sword split the palace maid in half, and before she could snort, the palace maid swallowed. Bai Qiwei took advantage of this block, turned over and fled out. How could Yun Lao, who came prepared, be willing to give up, three more hidden weapons hit, Bai Qiwei hurriedly dodged and fled, but he was still pierced in the thigh by a dart. Immediately the speed slowed down. Bai Qiwei struggled to escape, and was about to flee to the door, at this time, Yun Lao's sword had already pierced the back of the heart with a cold wind, Bai Qiwei saw that he couldn't escape, and twisted his body violently to avoid the vital point. The backhand is a palm towards Yun Lao's chest.

Bai Qiwei, who jumped over the wall in a hurry, used all his strength with this palm, and if Yun Lao wanted to hurt him, he would also be seriously injured. At this time, the door of the study had been knocked open by the guards, and seeing that time was running out, Yun Lao was determined to fight, and the sword in his hand did not stop, and continued to slash towards Bai Qiwei's heart.

Yun Lao is not afraid of death. But Bai Qiwei was afraid of death, and in a hurry, Bai Qiwei fell to the ground as soon as he got his feet down, but this time he saved Bai Qiwei, the sword slashed in front of the bridge of his nose with the sound of the wind, and Bai Qiwei was scared out of a cold sweat. Bai Qiwei, who had escaped death, crawled towards the guards and fled, Yun Lao was willing to let him go, and stepped forward. A sword stabbed at Bai Qiwei's chest, Bai Qiwei saw that it was inevitable, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, my life is dead.

At this moment, the crossbow in the hands of the guards who rushed into the study rang, sizzled, and after dozens of consecutive sounds, Yun Lao was shot with more than a dozen swords, almost at the same time that the crossbow arrow hit Yun Lao, Yun Lao's sword also stabbed Bai Qiwei's body. It's a pity that the injured Yun Lao's hand shook, and the sword deviated from his chest by an inch.

Yun Lao, who was hit by the arrow, struggled with his last bit of strength, and the sword slammed into Bai Qiwei's body, Bai Qiwei screamed and fainted.

Yun Lai, who was covered in more than a dozen arrows and bleeding all over his body, smiled at this moment. Looking at the guards who came a little late, Yun Lao struggled to stand, opened his mouth and smiled, his snow-white teeth looked so oozing in the dark night, and they were soon drowned by a large amount of blood gushing out.

The guards looked at Yun Lao blankly, and no one dared to step forward, but Bai Qiwei was still waiting for them to save him, and in a hurry, more than a dozen crossbow arrows shot over, shooting Yun Lao into a hedgehog, this time Yun Lao finally shook and fell, and the fallen Yun Lao tried to prop up his body with his hands, but he only struggled for a while, and fell in a pool of blood.

Bai Qiwei had a big life, he didn't die after being hit by Yun Lao, but he only had one breath left, fortunately, the imperial doctor in the palace was ready-made, and after a rescue, although Bai Qiwei didn't wake up, his life was saved.

Bai Qiwei was injured like this, and the atmosphere in Duliang City became subtle again, and Su Yuncheng, who had not moved, went to visit several times, sending doctors and medicines, and was very enthusiastic.

The eldest prince Bai Yunfan is far away in Jiangzhou, and there is a Bai Qi who ran to Jiezhou, and there is almost one Baiyun Mountain left in Duliang City, so it is natural that the work of taking care of Bai Qiwei falls on the head of Baiyun Mountain.

Bai Qiwei was lying on the bed, Bai Yunshan was quite competent by his father's side at this time, suddenly Bai Qiwei opened his eyes with difficulty, Bai Yunshan was also happy to see it, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Father, what do you think?" The doctor said that your life is not threatened, as long as you recuperate in peace and quiet, you will get better......"

Bai Qiwei squirmed his lips and whispered something, the voice was too small for Bai Yunshan to hear clearly, so he hurriedly listened to it.

"Yunfan, Lao Qi, is called ...... They...... Come back. After Bai Qiwei said this, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and fell asleep again.

Hearing what his father said clearly, Bai Yunshan's face suddenly turned pale, he stood up without saying a word, and walked out without saying hello to anyone, almost knocking his mother down, Bai Yunshan didn't apologize, and went straight out, even ignoring his mother who had been greeting him.

At this time, Bai Yunshan was unhappy in his heart, he was close to him, but his father only talked about the boss and Bai Qi who ran away, and it was obvious that his status in his father's mind was not as good as those two brothers.

When he came to Baiyun Mountain in the courtyard, his ugly face was immediately hit by Su Yuncheng who came to visit, Su Yuncheng is uncle, seeing Baiyun Mountain like this, he stopped Baiyun Mountain and asked, "Yunshan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Bai Yunshan and Su Yuncheng have always been close, and at this time they found a person to talk to, Bai Yunshan repeated what Bai Qiwei said after waking up, and finally said angrily: "Uncle, what do you say I am inferior to Bai Yunfan, and which point is not as good as Bai Qi's cheap seed?" ”

"Humph! If you want me to say, you can't compare to the two of them in any way, Bai Yunfan is calm and proficient in the art of war, not to mention Bai Qi, who is both civil and military, and his means of fighting are even more clever. If I were Bai Qiwei, I wouldn't be optimistic about you as your successor. Su Yuncheng listened to Baiyun Mountain's complaints, not only did he not say comforting words, but instead spoke of blows.

Baiyun Mountain was even more angry when he heard it. As soon as his neck was thick, his eyes were red, and he glared: "Uncle, are you helping me or helping them?" ”

Su Yuncheng said quietly: "I'm not helping anyone or not, I just want you to recognize the situation clearly, Bai Yunfan is now outside, with heavy troops in hand." Bai Qi is even more incredible, if you want to surpass them, you have to find another way. ”

"What can I do?" Bai Yunshan was a little deflated, and looked at the floor with his head drooping.

Su Yuncheng saw him like this, and scolded in a low voice: "Look at your little bit of talent, you are like this." What else can you do big? ”

"Uncle, you say, what should I do?" Bai Yunshan looked at Su Yuncheng and asked in an expectant tone.

"Yunshan, the most important thing for people who do big things is to seize the opportunity, and now there is a good opportunity in front of you, but I am afraid that you will not be ruthless." Su Yuncheng sneered.

"I'm all like this, what's so ruthless?" Baiyun Mountain said ruthlessly.

"Really? Then you come here. ”

Baiyun Mountain put his ear to it. Su Yuncheng whispered in his ear, and Bai Yunshan's face changed when he heard this, and the original iron blue color now became pale.

Bai Yunshan almost couldn't believe what he heard, his feet shook for a while, and he took three steps back before he stopped, his eyes looking at Su Yuncheng with a gloomy expression with a frightened gaze.

"No, I can't do that!" Bai Yunshan muttered in a trembling voice, and Su Yuncheng looked at him like this, with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth. But soon he made a concerned expression and said: "Think about it yourself, and let me know when you think about it!" I'll help you naturally. After speaking, Su Yuncheng walked from the direction and went to visit Bai Qiwei who was still in a coma as usual.

For the next two days, Baiyun Mountain was in a state of mental trance, and every time he saw Su Yuncheng again. Bai Yunshan's heart slammed up, and he looked a little at a loss.

Bai Qiwei woke up again, this time he woke up for a long time, and Baiyun Mountain happened to be by Bai Qiwei's side at that time.

"Father! You're awake! Great? You've been in a coma for three days and everyone is worried about dying! Bai Yunshan still felt a little joy in his heart that Bai Qiwei could wake up.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qiwei twisted his neck with difficulty to look around, and saw that Baiyun Mountain was alone, and asked with a little annoyance: "What about Yunfan and Lao Qi?" Why haven't they come yet? Then Bai Qiwei smiled bitterly and said: "The seventh is in Jiezhou, even if he is notified, he may not receive it." Ay! Speaking of Lao Qi, I'm really sorry for him, if he can come back this time, I will definitely ......" Saying that, Bai Qiwei coughed violently, and Bai Yunshan hurriedly went up and patted him gently on his back.

Bai Qiwei closed his eyes, slowed down and asked Baiyun Mountain: "When will Yunfan arrive?" ”

When Bai Yunshan heard this, a strong jealousy filled his heart, and he served by his side for three days, Bai Qiwei woke up and didn't even ask, but Bai Qi and Bai Yunfan, Bai Qiwei came together and asked. Bai Yunshan has been thinking about what Su Yuncheng said that day for the past two days, and he really forgot about informing Bai Qi and Bai Yunfan, and now that Bai Qiwei asked, Bai Yunshan didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing that Baiyun Mountain didn't speak, Bai Qiwei opened his eyes and glared at him, "What?" Didn't you hear me ask you? ”

Bai Yunshan saw that Bai Qiwei was asking questions tightly, so he had to reply promisedly: "There have been many things in the past few days, and I haven't had time to inform them yet." ”

Bai Qiwei was furious when he heard this, and this excitement was a series of coughs, which would make Baiyunshan dare not go up to shoot, fortunately, Baiyunshan's mother came in at this time, and hurriedly went up to pat Bai Qiwei, and complained while patting: "I said Yunshan, why don't you know to pat your father on the back?" ”

Bai Qiwei, who finally got his way, pointed to Baiyun Mountain's nose and said, "You brute, you get out of here, I don't want to see you." ”

Another morning came, and according to the realized plan, the sneak attack troops led by Bai Qi arrived at the predetermined resting place smoothly. Bai Qi walked in the woods, checked the settlement of the troops, and rushed all night, everyone worked hard, and at this time they all held dry food in their hands, eating and resting.

"It's hard work for everyone, and you can only eat dry food along the way. I'll treat my brothers to a good meal. Bai Qi was walking and laughing with the soldiers, and Wu Ming, who was walking towards him, saw Bai Qi and immediately came up and said, "Lord." Now this place is only thirty miles away from the Fish and Dragon Pass, and we will be able to reach it at midnight today. ”

"It's up to you tonight, don't embarrass me then." Bai Qi said with a smile.

"Rest assured, my lord, our brothers have already been involved. Now there are only 3,000 defenders in the Fish Dragon Pass, and there will be no problems with Bao Zhun at that time. Wu Ming said.

"Arrange the guards so that no one finds out." Bai Qi instructed.

"Rest assured, my lord, I have arranged for my brothers on all the roads leading to the woodlands, so that no one can find this."

The sky finally darkened while waiting, and the troops in the woods began to stir. The soldiers, having eaten dry rations, began to check their weapons, tied sackcloth to the horses' hooves, and when everything was ready, they waited for the order to set off.

At midnight, there was silence in front of the Ichthyosaurus Pass, and there were no patrolling soldiers. Only three or five soldiers on duty dozed off the walls, and outside the city was a dark wilderness, and there was no light to be seen except for the dim glow of a few torches on the walls.

Bai Qi and his people appeared in front of the Fish and Dragon Pass and stopped not far away, letting the soldiers rest for a while, and Bai Qi took a few personal soldiers and Wu Ming to the pass. Wu Ming felt the fire fold and blew it in the darkness, and a dim fire light illuminated the faces of several people.

Raise the fire fold. Facing the ichthyosaurus tube and shaking it a few times, after a while, it also reacted when it was closed, and a torch appeared at the head of the city and shook it a few times.

At the same time, several black shadows suddenly burst out from the side of several soldiers on duty, and in the blink of an eye, they knocked down the soldiers on duty, and these soldiers had already lost their lives while they were still asleep.

After a squeak, the drawbridge was slowly lowered. Wu Ming looked at Xi and said, "Lord, they have succeeded." Bai Qi didn't expect things to go so smoothly. I couldn't hold back my excitement and said, "Inform the brothers, enter the customs!" ”

After a whistle, the five thousand cavalry hidden in the darkness moved together, like a torrent rolling towards the fish and dragon pass.

Also on this night, after being scolded by Bai Qiwei, Baiyun Mountain finally mustered up the courage. walked into Su Yuncheng's house before dark. Although it was already late after Baiyun Mountain came out, he still rushed back to the palace, and others couldn't get in, so he was still fine.

Baiyun Mountain appeared in front of Bai Qiwei's hospital bed, Bai Qiwei, who was greatly injured, was sleeping soundly, and the palace maid who was waiting next to him was dozing, and the sudden appearance of Baiyun Mountain immediately scared the palace maid awake, and she quickly knelt down, for fear that Baiyun Mountain would punish her.

How could Bai Yunshan have the heart to pay attention to these at this time, waved his hand to let the palace maid out, sat down next to Bai Qiwei by himself, and watched Bai Qiwei, who was breathing evenly, recover a little blood on his face, and Bai Yunshan's face suddenly distorted, twisted hideously.

It seemed that after a long time, Bai Yunshan finally made up his mind, picked up a pillow, and slammed it towards Bai Qiwei's face. Baiyun Mountain seemed to have exhausted its strength, and Bai Qiwei in his sleep only struggled a few times before he remained motionless.

Bai Yunshan's strength was exhausted just now, and he was sitting on the side as if he was out of shape, leaning against the wall, looking at Bai Qiwei, who was no longer breathing, two tears drew two traces on Bai Yunshan's face, shining in the light.

Baiyun Mountain explained that the palace maid who came to serve Bai Qiwei was asleep, and no one was allowed to disturb him, so he walked out of the palace with difficulty and rushed towards Su Yuncheng's house overnight. It wasn't until dawn that Baiyun Mountain quietly returned to the palace.

At last it was dawn again, and the defenders of the Three Thousand Fish and Dragon Pass were sitting in the playground in frustration, without any resistance, they were all awakened by the steel knives on their necks before they could figure out what was happening, and then they stayed in this playground for half the night, and they were now in the dark about what kind of enemy was coming.

"Inform Mr. Kong that the plan has been successful." Standing at the head of the city of Yulong Pass, looking at the direction of Duliang City from afar, what was Bai Qi thinking at this time? Others don't know, but one thing is certain, the front is the plain of Pingchuan, and the fast horse can reach Duliang in only half an hour, as long as Bai Qi has enough troops, he can attack Duliang at any time.

A carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and took off from the head of the city at Fish and Dragon Pass and headed north. Bai Qi looked at the pigeon in the distance, his eyes could not hide his excitement, and his face was red from the morning sun.

Also in this morning, Bai Yunfan in Jiangzhou also got up early in the morning, and only received a notice of his father's serious injury yesterday, Bai Yunfan was busy all night, and after explaining everything clearly, he had to take a few personal soldiers back to Duliang. Bai Yunfan hadn't walked out of the camp yet. There were already a few officers with close cronies blocking the door, and they saw Bai Yunfan and stepped forward to salute together.

"I'm just going back to have a look, and I'll be back soon, so don't send it away." Bai Yunfan waved at these subordinates who had followed him for many years. Said with a grateful smile.

"My lord, everyone thinks that you should bring 10,000 horses back, and we always think there is something strange about this." As Bai Yunfan's first cronie, Quan Dayou said everything he wanted to say on behalf of everyone.

Bai Yunfan listened to it and said in a deep voice: "I think everyone is too worried, the letter said that my father was just injured, I don't think there should be too much of a problem." "I really want to say that Bai Yunfan doesn't mumble in his heart. That's fake land, too. Bai Yunfan knew his father's body, and it was credible to say that Bai Qiwei was assassinated, and he didn't explain what his injuries were, but just asked him to go back as soon as possible.

"It's indispensable to guard against people, the king is injured, why didn't our people send the news. There is only one reason, the news is blocked, and I estimate that it will be difficult for our people to get out of the capital, so please consider everyone's opinions again. Quan Dayou persuaded Bai Yunfan again, and the anxiety on his face could be clearly seen.

"I'll take a large group of people back, in case my father is okay, it's not good to be suspicious of me." Bai Yunfan thought for a while.

Hearing this, Quan Dayou stepped forward and said, "It's better to do this, I'll pick three thousand cavalry out." Protect the adults and return to the capital, if something really happens at that time, the subordinates can also protect the adults and kill them. It's really not good, and there's a messenger, isn't it? ”

After hearing this, Bai Yunfan nodded and said, "Then that's it, you go and prepare, don't delay your journey." ”

Duliang City, when the morning sun shone on Bai Qiwei's bedside, the palace maid who came to serve him finally found that Bai Qiwei's face was wrong, it was still slightly ruddy last night, but now it is a dead gray. The palace maid mustered up the courage to step forward and test her snort, and found that she was not breathing. Suddenly, several astonishing cries rang out, and the cries echoed through the walls of the Dao Dao Palace.

The palace maid stumbled out of the room, stopped a group of guards who were patrolling, and said breathlessly, "The king is dead." The king is dead! The guards on patrol were also shocked when they heard this, and the leader rushed into the room to take a look, and after a while, he walked out of the room dejectedly and said, "The king is gone." As soon as the news broke, there was chaos in the palace.

"What? The king is gone? Princess Yun, who heard the news, was stunned, and forgot the soup that she had stewed early in the morning and was going to give Bai Qiwei in her hand, and with a plop, the soup can smashed on the ground, and the soup in the jar spilled all over the ground. Yun, who was tired all morning, shook twice, and looked like he was about to fall.

"Princess! Princess! The palace maids who accompanied her hurriedly went up to support her.

"What? The king is gone? In a side palace in the palace, when Bai Qi's mother Xiaolian heard the news, her face instantly turned pale, and two lines of tears flowed uncontrollably.

Baiyun Mountain, who has always gotten up late, got up early this morning, but in fact, he didn't sleep all night, and he had been waiting in the room for the messenger to knock on the door.

"What? Father's death? How did you serve, when I left last night, it was all right? You minions deserve to die. Bai Yunshan roared at the palace maid who came to report the news, a person with a weak heart can only use this expression to hide his uneasiness, as for the matter of killing people and destroying his mouth, he can't say that he has to do it. The fate of the palace maids who served Bai Qiwei yesterday had already been decided at this moment.

Bai Yunshan rushed to Bai Qiwei's room as fast as he could, and at this time no one else had arrived, only a few palace maids were kneeling uneasily, and Bai Yunshan threw himself on Bai Qiwei's body and cried loudly.

After a while, the Yun family, the Su family, and Xiaolian, who were able to be named princesses, all appeared in the room. Coincidentally, there was also Su Yuncheng who got up early, and the news of Bai Qiwei's death came out in front, and Su Yuncheng entered the palace later.

After briefly comforting several princesses, Su Yuncheng called Baiyun Mountain out alone, and after explaining a few words, he left the palace under the pretext of notifying the ministers.

At this time, Bai Yunfan had just ridden out of Jiangzhou City, from Jiangzhou to Duliang, the fast horse could arrive in a day and a half, and he didn't know that Bai Yunfan was dead, and he didn't know that there was a storm waiting for him in front of him.
