The stars were shining in the sky above the Yellow Pond, and the faint starlight reflected a group of figures on the hill not far from the princes' camp, Ji Zheng reined in his horse, pulled out the Chongli sword with a snort, and asked the figure: "What person!?" ”

"General! It's me! Blue Gate! ”

Ji Zheng took a look through the starlight, and the person who came was indeed Qingmen and some entourage.

"Aoto?"

Qingmen dismounted and saluted: "General! We are waiting for the general here on the orders of Lord Fan! ”

"Where's Lord Fan?"

"We're on our way to Gusu, we can catch up tomorrow morning."

"Okay, is there any new progress on the Gusu side?"

"There is no report yet, but according to the time calculation, General Xiao should have already started attacking Gusu!"

"Well, we'll be on our way immediately."

"Whoa!"

Ji Zheng and the others were just about to set off, when they suddenly heard a noisy sound behind them. Ji Zheng turned around and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that a raging fire was burning in the camp of Zhou Guo, and thick smoke rose into the sky, and the camp was in chaos.

Ji Zheng's heart suddenly panicked.

Suddenly, Qingmen stepped forward and said, "General, Lord Fan instructs that once a fire breaks out in the camp, please ask the general to open the letterhead of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Ji Zheng was shocked, he didn't expect that his eldest brother and Fan Li would have such a deep intersection, and a bad premonition was sprouting in his heart.

Ji Zheng took out the letterhead, opened it carefully, and by the light of the torch, he read the contents of the letterhead word by word, and then, he pressed the letterhead tightly to his chest, and after a long time, he reluctantly burned the brocade silk.

Finally, he looked at the fire burning in the camp again, the light of the fire reflecting the same light in his pupils. Finally, he turned back and ordered in a deep voice, "Go!" ”

The horse's hooves were galloping, the night breeze was slightly cool, and the tears were falling silently, and the teachings of his brother kept echoing in Ji Zheng's mind.

"My brother is enlightened."

"By the time you read this letter, Big Brother has already turned to dust in the flames. The eldest brother did not believe that he could become a star in the night sky after death, because the eldest brother knew that he had never been as pure and holy as the stars. ”

"The fire in the camp is the masterpiece of the eldest brother, and tomorrow at dawn, all the human and material evidence will point to the third brother, and his crime of murdering his brother will be openly exposed in front of the princes of the world, and this will surely become a fatal stain on him. It is for this reason that when you finish reading this letter, it is important to burn it immediately. ”

"After the first battle of Gusu, Fan Li will tell you when and in what way to appear, and when you return to Luoyang, it is the real beginning of this journey. You must believe in Mr. Fan as much as you believe in Big Brother. Maybe you don't have a crush on him, but you have to remember that you can never really get to know someone, and everyone has a side that no one else knows. Many times, people tend to have different understandings and views on things, that is because people's positions are different, and there are also differences in the level of looking at problems, so don't make judgments about a person easily, let alone look at people or things with the same eyes. ”

"Seeing the scars on your body, the eldest brother is very sad, the eldest brother really hopes to bear those pains for you, but the eldest brother can't do it, some of the pain must be borne by you personally. Only by experiencing suffering can people grow, and only by going through hardships can they gain the power to change the world. You have such bloodline, and your character is enough to bear the weight of fate, so Big Brother will choose you. ”

"What happened during this time must have made you suspicious, you may feel like a chess piece, I'm sorry, please forgive the big brother for a long time of secret observation and manipulation. In fact, my eldest brother's heart is also tormented and tortured all the time, and those despicable deeds will surely become my eternal guilt. However, the eldest brother has no choice, if the eldest brother has a normal lifespan, the eldest brother hopes to be able to take good care of you and the third brother, instead of imposing the shackles of fate on you. ”

"Second brother, I'm sorry. Big brother can't let you have a smooth career, let alone immerse yourself in a happy marriage, for the sake of the Zhou family, but also for the world, you must endure the torture of fate. If you ask Big Brother, what is fate. Big Brother may not be able to answer, maybe fate is about the choices you make in life and the struggle you make after you make them. ”

"Second brother, the road ahead is long, there are many difficulties, the eldest brother can no longer guard your side, in the future, you must forge ahead alone."

"If God doesn't dislike it, and the eldest brother can really turn into a star, then please believe that the eldest brother will always bless you!"

"Ji Zhi, a masterpiece."

The stars were shining brightly in the night sky, Ji Zheng raised his head and looked up at the sky, and he saw that in the southern sky, a twinkling star was guiding him in the direction of his way.

In the second half of the night, it should have been the dead of night, but after a fire, no one could sleep peacefully.

In the camp of the Son of Heaven, Ji Ren knelt on the ground, he lowered his head, carefully raised his eyes, and looked at the Son of Heaven with grief and anger tremblingly.

"Ren'er! You said! You didn't do it! The Son of Heaven pointed at Ji Ren and asked angrily.

Ji Ren frowned and said aggrievedly: "Father! The child is wronged! This has absolutely nothing to do with children! ”

"Wronged?! Now all the human and physical evidence points to you! Do you dare to say that you have been wronged?! ”

"But...... However, I really don't know, the arson has nothing to do with me! How could I have murdered my two brothers! ”

"You are the only son of the Father! But now, your eldest brother is in the fire! Your second brother's tent was reduced to ashes, and even his bones were burned! You! You! They're your brothers! How ruthless are you! ”

"Father! I really didn't do it! ”

The Son of Heaven gasped, trying to calm his anger, "Okay...... Good...... Good...... You didn't do it, so tell me what happened to the Assassin in the afternoon! ”

"I ...... I don't know! I don't know that assassin at all! ”

"Son, my father has reigned for more than 20 years, and I have seen too many such things, for the sake of royal power, flesh and blood cannibalism, and there are countless things about brothers turning against each other, but you don't know your eldest brother's physical condition, sooner or later the position of the Son of Heaven will be yours, why are you so anxious?!"

Ji Ren felt wronged, and said with tears in his eyes: "Father, the child is really wronged, I really won't assassinate my father, let alone set fire to the two royal brothers." Besides, that assassin is from Wu, and I have never crossed paths with my husband, so how can I find a Wu native to assassinate my father! ”

"Hehe, hehe......" The Son of Heaven smiled bitterly, looked at Ji Ren and shook his head gently, "King Jin is your uncle, and he must be the one who will support you no matter what, and King Wu is now his biggest enemy, if this assassin is from the Wu Kingdom, it will be a good thing for him or for you." If you want to say that you are wronged, you feel that your husband is the one who has been wronged. However, Lonely's heart understands very well, so he doesn't mean to complain about his husband. Instead, it's you and King Jin, hey......"

Ji Ren fell to his knees with a thud, "Father! Don't think so! That's not true! Nothing is like this! I don't know the Assassins! I never thought of assassinating my father! Uncle he has never had such a distraction! ”

"Didn't think about it?! Hum! Haven't you really thought about it!? Tonight, the fire burned from the prince's camp, and in a blink of an eye, it spread to Lone's camp, but fortunately, the chamberlain woke up Lone, otherwise, Lone would have died in this fire! The more the Son of Heaven spoke, the more emotional he became, and finally he screamed sadly, "Woo woo, God! Have pity on my two kings! ”

The Son of Heaven was so grief-stricken that he almost fainted and fell to the ground, and Ji Ren hurriedly stepped forward to support the Son of Heaven.

"Father, take care of your health!"

The Son of Heaven shook off Ji Ren and scolded weakly while covering his heart: "You! You're a bad boy! Why don't you burn Lone to death! ”

Ji Ren knelt on the ground and cried: "Father! Father! The child definitely didn't dare! The child really didn't have any ill thoughts about his father and two brothers! Swear by the child! If the child has any unfilial piety and unrighteous thoughts, he will be killed immediately by five thunders! There is no place to die! ”

"Huh!"

The Son of Heaven slammed on the ground, tears slowly flowing down his cheeks.

After a long time, the Son of Heaven came back to his senses, and shouted weakly: "Ren'er ......"

Ji Ren's face was also stained with tears, "Father, the child is here." ”

"Your eldest brother, virtuous and intelligent, open-minded and diligent, he is highly respected by civil and military officials, and even the people love him, he should have been the best candidate to inherit the position of the Son of Heaven."

"Yes, I'm ashamed of myself compared to my eldest brother."

"It's a pity, God is jealous of the talent......"

Ji Ren looked at the Son of Heaven and nodded slightly.

The Son of Heaven continued: "Your second brother is the illegitimate son of Lone. Speaking of which, Lone is also sorry for their mother and son, but Lone has no choice, Lone really can't register Zheng'er's mother in the temple. Your second brother has lacked love since he was a child, but to Gu's surprise, he has formed a strong and resolute character because of this. When he was nine years old, your uncle took him on a trip, and when he came back, he told Gu that Zheng'er had drowned in the water and that he couldn't even find his body, and Gu was overwhelmed with grief. Who knows, twenty years have passed, and he suddenly appeared today, and he also saved Lone's life! ”

"Yes, thanks to the second brother, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable......"

"Do you know how surprised Lone's heart is?! But...... But it's only been half a day since our father and son were reunited! Half a day! He...... He's already ......"

As he spoke, the Son of Heaven wept silently again.

After a long time, the Son of Heaven's mood finally calmed down again, he waved his hand and motioned for Ji Ren to go out, "Ren'er, go, you go out." Arrange the daytime ceremony, you won't live long for your father, and sooner or later the position of the Son of Heaven will be yours, and you have to be prepared......"

"Father's ......"

Ji Ren wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the Son of Heaven, who waved his hand again and said, "Let's go, I'm tired ......"

"Oh, take care of your father......"
