In the room, the faint flames in the candlesticks flickered back and forth, emitting a dim light, shining in the room, like dusk, gray.

In the past, the Marquis of Dayan ended up in the end, which is regrettable.

Liu Xuanyuan sat in front of the mahogany dining table, holding bamboo chopsticks in his hand, his expression was calm, and he was concentrating on eating.

Lin Feng grabbed the leather whip and raised his hand to whip Liu Xuanyuan's back without hesitation.

With a snap, the whip fell.

The corners of Liu Xuanyuan's mouth twitched slightly, his body tensed, and he sat next to the dining table, but he didn't move at all, as if a leather whip fell and hit someone else.

Breathing a little heavier, holding bamboo chopsticks in his hand, holding the food on the plate, stuffing it into his mouth and chewing it heavily.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Lin Feng raised his hand and slapped several times in a row, Liu Xuanyuan still didn't understand, and the movements in Lin Feng's hand couldn't help but speed up, becoming more and more fierce and ruthless.

At this time, beads of sweat appeared on Liu Xuanyuan's forehead, and drop by drop fell on the food table, and his face became red.

As the leather whip in Lin Feng's hand continued to fall, it was repeatedly whipped on Liu Xuanyuan's back, and soon, the blue prison clothes on his body oozed traces of blood.

Seeing that the leather whip in Lin Feng's hand had no intention of stopping, next to her, Liu Qiqi couldn't help but get anxious, the leather whip never hit her, but she seemed to empathize.

Every time the leather whip fell on Liu Xuanyuan, she couldn't help but jump in her heart, and her body trembled, for fear that her brother would be beaten to death.

"Brother, hide quickly, otherwise, you will be beaten to death by the emperor!" Liu Qiqi looked at Liu Xuanyuan's figure and did not move, letting the leather whip fall on his body, the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time, and he couldn't help but get anxious in his heart.

Hearing the sound, Liu Xuanyuan turned a deaf ear, his arm trembled and he poured himself a glass of wine, ignoring the spilled wine, raised his head, and drank it all.

Syllable!

Another whip fell violently, striking him on the neck, and in an instant the skin opened and the blood flowed out, and in the midst of great pain, his arm trembled, and the wine glass fell off, falling to the ground, and shattering.

Looking at it, the anger in Lin Feng's heart was not gone, and he was still beating violently, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart on Liu Xuanyuan.

The elder brother didn't move, the emperor didn't mean to stop, Liu Qiqi was in a dilemma, took two quick steps, poofed, knelt beside Lin Feng, and dragged Lin Feng's dragon robe.

With tears streaming down his face, his face was pale, and he whimpered in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please, don't fight anymore, otherwise, you will really kill people!" ”

At this moment, Liu Qiqi can't take care of it anymore, his father was killed by the arrows of the Xuanjia soldiers in the chaotic army, and only his brother is left to rely on each other, although the two are about to go to the execution ground together, but if Lin Feng doesn't stop, after his brother suffers from flesh and skin, he is afraid that he will not survive the execution.

However, Lin Feng's face did not change, he was unmoved, glared at Liu Qiqi, and still waved the leather whip in his hand, opened the bow left and right, and beat it fiercely.

A tea time, maybe tired, maybe delayed, and after a few consecutive swings, Lin Feng threw away the leather whip in his hand in a negative mood.

Move forward, walk to the food table, grab the wine jug on the food table, pour it into your mouth, drink it bitterly, only feel hearty, and put the wine jug in the food table.

staring at Liu Xuanyuan on the opposite side of the food table, his palm slapped on the food table violently, causing a lot of soup to splash out of the dishes on the plate, his face was cold, and he said: "Liu Xuanyuan, do you think that if you bear my beating, I will vent the anger in my heart?" You wolf ambition to live up to all my expectations of you. ”

Recalling the battle of Black Flag Pass, how close the two sides were, Liu Xuanyuan helped him train 100,000 cavalry for three years, at that time, the hearts of the monarchs and ministers were higher than the sky, and they vowed to create a foundation for all generations.

It's a pity that time has passed, and people's hearts are not ancient!

"The last general will be ashamed of the emperor and suffer the whipping of the emperor, all because he doesn't want to die with guilt!" Hearing this, Liu Xuanyuan was sincere and responded bluntly.

Lin Feng was not satisfied, snorted lightly, and ordered: "After eating this meal, after half an hour, someone will bring wine, you are good to go on your way!" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the door with Cao Aman and the others.

At this time, Liu Qiqi, who was stunned, quickly stepped forward, poofed, knelt on the ground again, with a pitiful expression, and said: "Your Majesty, the father and brother are guilty of rebellion in Yandong, but the father and brother have also made contributions to Dayan, and the people dare not ask the emperor to let go of their brothers, and the women are willing to make cattle and horses for the emperor, even if they die on behalf of their brothers, they only ask the emperor to spare their lives." ”

"Liu Qiqi, you have already crossed the river and it is difficult to protect yourself, and you still want to die on behalf of Liu Xuanyuan, you knew it was so, why bother in the first place!" Forcibly removing Liu Qiqi's palm, Lin Feng strode away.

For a while, in the dim light, Liu Qiqi sat on the ground and whimpered softly, she didn't want to die, and she didn't want Liu Xuanyuan to die, but now that the wood was in the boat, there was no room for maneuver.

Next to him, Liu Xuanyuan endured the pain in his back, got up and walked to Liu Qiqi's side, helped the other party up, and sat on Hu Deng, his expression was down, full of apologies, and he said in a hoarse tone: "Qiqi, brother has affected you, today, even if the emperor can't bear to kill us, but people's words are terrifying, and the royal family will die in order to establish prestige!" ”

Liu Xuanyuan also understands that the emperor attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and he will not easily dispose of the generals in the army, because he is obsessed with his mind, and he is blinded by lust for a while, and he believes the rumors of the family's gate lords.

Today, if you want to escape death, there is no hope left, and the emperor personally came to see him on the road, and he has done his best.

Hearing the sound, Liu Qiqi wiped away his tears and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Xuanyuan, and for a while, the room became silent.

Under the light of the palace lamp, Lin Feng's long figure in the corridor was long, he stood in the corridor with a straight body like a sword, turned his head to Cao Aman and asked, "Are the drinks ready?" ”

"Be prepared, the emperor can rest assured, there will be no accidents!" Cao Aman responded.

At this moment, he could feel the murderous aura on the emperor's body, and he didn't dare to say much, but he also understood the anger in the emperor's heart, if the person he trusted betrayed him, he would also have monstrous killing intent.

Lin Feng nodded, and said meaningfully: "Liu Xuanyuan, after Liu Qiqi dies, don't be buried in Chaofeng Gang, buried in the ancestral tomb of the Liu family in the mountain behind Liufu, and from now on block Liufu, anyone can enter." ”

Liu Xuanyuan is not benevolent, he will not be unjust, after all, Liu Xuanyuan has followed him for the longest time, before the rise of Dayan, he has the highest credit, out of selfishness, he doesn't want this person who used to build great feats for Dayan to be eaten by wild wolves in the mass grave, and there are no bones, not even a tombstone.

"The emperor can rest assured, after moving all the money, grain and materials in Liufu back, the last general will personally block Liufu." Cao Aman responded.

The two ministers talked softly in the corridor, and most of the time, it was Lin Feng who was explaining, and Cao Aman was listening.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and at this time, Luo Da walked up from the door of Liu Xuanyuan's room, saluted Lin Feng respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, the hour has come, it's time to execute!" ”

Hearing the sound, Lin Feng looked up at the moonlight in the sky obscured by dark clouds, shook his head slightly, his heart was full of melancholy, he couldn't bear it anymore, it was time to execute, and advised: "Be happy, don't make the two of you uncomfortable." ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Luo Dadao, finished speaking, holding a tray, there was golden silk in the tray, two white jade wine glasses were placed on the silk, and the wine glasses contained crystal clear wine, and passed through the corridor and entered the mansion where Liu Xuanyuan's brothers and sisters were.

Lin Feng stood quietly in the corridor, the moment Luo Da turned around, he also turned around quickly, and when Luo Da walked into the room, his eyes looked into the room again.

Soon, there was a sound of rustling in the room, and soon, I heard Liu Qiqi shouting Liu Xuanyuan's voice, the voice was still, and through the screen window, Lin Feng saw a figure falling.

At this time, Liu Qiqi cried inside, and then, after half a pillar of incense in the room, another figure fell, and suddenly, the candlelight in the room went out, and it was dark.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, his expression was gloomy, and when he wanted to go to visit, Luo Da's figure walked out of the room, closed the door tightly, and strode in front of Lin Feng.

He bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, everything is all right!" ”

Lin Feng glanced at the dark room, no longer spoken, secretly saddened, turned around and walked along the corridor in the mansion towards the outside of the Liu Mansion.

Liu Xuanyuan's death hit Lin Feng hard, making him feel like he had cut off an arm with his own hands.

However, he knew very well that Liu Xuanyuan must die and disappear, otherwise, he would not be able to deter those with evil intentions, and his death would be self-inflicted!

Raid Liufu, Cao Aman will take over, Liu Xuanyuan, Liu Qiqi will deal with the aftermath of the two, Luo Da will personally deal with it, both of them are Lin Feng's cronies, Lin Feng is not worried about these things.

The next day, Liu Xuanyuan's death spread all over Yanjing City, and the people applauded one after another, as if they had killed their enemies, and some people even held a celebration ceremony for this.

However, in the ancestral tomb of the mountain behind the Liu Mansion, the officials of the Ministry of Rites still held a small-scale memorial ceremony according to Lin Feng's instructions, and only a few officials from the six ministries came to see them off, but Zhao Hongru and Wen Jishi were among them.

At a sensitive moment, many people are wise enough to protect their lives and dare to come to see off Liu Xuanyuan, Liu Qiqi and others, who have already taken a great risk, and they are very likely to bet on their careers.

Fortunately, things went smoothly and there were not many ripples.

Completely solve the matter of Liu Xuanyuan, in Yanjing City, gradually restore calm, such a big thing, the people talk after dinner, however, in Yanjing City, strange things happen every day, which quickly dilutes the impact of Liu Xuanyuan's death.

Lin Feng was depressed for a few days, and quickly regained his fighting spirit, after all, as the king of a country, if he let outsiders know about the traitorous minister, the deterrent effect generated by the previous treatment of Liu Xuanyuan would be quickly disintegrated.

Besides, over the past few days, many things have accumulated that he needs to deal with by himself.

At this moment, he urgently needs to deal with three things, one of which is that Feng Yi's army is preparing to go south, and must prepare sufficient grain and grass, this matter is related to the victory or defeat of the Yan army in jumping over the Yangtze River, which has a far-reaching impact, and he doesn't care if he has the slightest luck.

Second, Shiyan City has been occupied for half a year, and the Heavenly Palace Treasure has not been opened at the beginning of the ice, but now that May has arrived, the climate is suitable, and it is time to open the Heavenly Palace Treasure.

Third, he planned to lead a small number of people to infiltrate the south after opening the treasure of the Heavenly Palace, travel around the southern countries, and by the way, investigate and lead people to learn southern shipbuilding technology.

These three things, Feng Yi's army to the south is a top priority, as long as Fan Changwen enters the palace and Cai Jun's news comes, the army can wave the army south.

Therefore, the preparation of food, grass and ordnance is very urgent!

And the treasure of Tiangong, after seizing Shiyan City, he and the army were worried that there was a trap inside, and it was rumored that the Five Kingdoms were attacking Yan at that time, but they did not dig it directly.

At this time, after more than half a year of hard work by the officials of the Ministry of Industry, with the three parchment scrolls in their hands, they probably drew the terrain in the treasure of Tiangong, although it lacked the parchment scroll in Li Zhao's hand, but it was almost enough.

It just so happened that the Yan army of the Five Kingdoms was driven south of the Yangtze River by the Yan army, and the other party suffered serious losses, and the southern overlord Chu broke out into war with Cai.

The time and place are favorable, and he must quickly open the treasure, lest the future war will start and the matter of opening the treasure of the heavenly prince will be stranded again.

As for Xia Jiangnan, it is to imitate a certain emperor in later generations, travel around the world, learn advanced technology, so as to strengthen the sailor, understand the southern terrain, the strength of the princes, and lay a good foundation for the main army of Dayan to fight in the south.

After all, for a long time, the southern forces invaded the north many times, while the northern armies rarely moved south.

Although a large number of spies were dispatched to understand the situation in various parts of the south, after all, they did not have their own personal experience and saw accurately with their own eyes.

This matter was postponed slightly, but in order to ensure his own safety, he had to do it secretly and secretly to avoid any accidents, and the dragon was trapped in the south and killed himself.

A few days later, Fan Changwen, the envoy of Cai Guo, who had been waiting for news for a long time, hurriedly entered the palace and brought good news, reporting to Lin Feng that Cai Guo's dragon ship had arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and Cai Jun promised to help Dayan build a dragon boat and train sailors.

However, Fan Changwen's tone was anxious, and he asked Lin Feng to send someone to inform Feng Yi and let Feng Yi lead the way to cross the river first, and he would personally be responsible for the grain and grass going south.

At the beginning, when Fan Changwen reluctantly agreed to Wen Jishi's request, he was extremely worried that Cai Jun would refuse Dayan's request, however, the messenger spies hurriedly let go of Yanjing City from Cai Guo within his estimated time, bringing the news that Cai Jun agreed to Dayan's request.

This made Fan Changwen realize that in the battle of Cai Chu, Cai's situation may be very mysterious.

After all, Cai Jun was able to ascend the throne in the chaos and gradually quell the internal rebellion of Cai Guo, he would not be a mediocre person, and he still quickly agreed to Dayan's request when he knew that Dayan intended to blackmail, in addition to Cai Guo's situation becoming worse, Fan Changwen did not know what else was going on, so that Cai Jun did not care about Cai Guo's interests.

In fact, Cai Guo's situation was not much different from what Fan Changwen expected, this time, Da Chu was led by Xiong Wu's favorite minister Han Han Xiangzi, this person, born in a military family, was talented in military affairs, led 200,000 Xuanjia soldiers, and 100,000 ordinary infantry.

After breaking into Cai Guo, all the way to conquer the city, invincible, just more than ten days, Cai Guo lost three counties, the south was in an emergency, Cai Jun did not dare to delay, for fear that the longer the delay, the greater the damage to Cai Guo, in desperation, only the camp Lin Feng asked to help Dayan train sailors and build dragon ships, so as to quickly get Dayan's support.

Knowing Cai Guo's situation, Lin Feng did not hesitate, agreed to Fan Changwen's request, sent spies to the starry night, and gave an order to Feng Yi to lead 100,000 cavalry to move south.
