"What did you say?"

Rong Jin looked at Yan Li in a daze.

Yan Li took a step forward, pressed Rong Jin's shoulder, motioned for Rong Jin to sit down, and then said softly again: "Concubine Shu killed the fourth prince, the fifth prince and the seventh prince!" ”

"Killed all?"

Yan Li nodded and repeated, "Yes, they were all killed." ”

Rong Jin's lips pursed, and he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he just shook his head with a wry smile in the end.

After the initial stunned, it seems that what was expected is not so difficult to accept!

After a moment of silence, Rong Jin looked at Yan Li and asked, "Then now, how is this matter handled?" ”

"Now......" The corners of Yan Li's lips provoked a cool arc, and said softly: "Empress Wei will naturally use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to clear Yan Ke's stigma, and Yan Zhengtian has paid such a heavy price, how can he sit back and watch the position of the prince still fall into the hands of Wei?" King Wen Jin sent someone to deliver the message, saying that Yan Zhengtian planned to personally come forward to testify against Yan Ke's plot to kill his brother, and he accepted King Wen Jin's proposal for next year's spring draft. ”

Rong Jin curled the corners of his lips mockingly, "In this way, Wei will have to force the palace!" ”

Yan Li nodded, looked up at the dark and dreary night outside, the cold wind howled like a monster crossing the border, and the bare branches of a few century-old trees in the courtyard that had lost their leaves cast a mottled shadow like a group of demons dancing.

"Three days later it will be the winter solstice." Yan Li suddenly spoke.

Rong Jin looked at Yan Li puzzled, "Winter solstice? ”

Yan Li nodded, "The winter solstice is as big as a year, and on the day of the winter solstice in the Northern Qi Dynasty, all the ministers and officials are going to enter the palace for a banquet." If Webster wants to attack, the best time should be the winter solstice! ”

"Can we think of it, then ......" Rong Jin said hesitantly: "Then Yan Zhengtian should also want to get it, right?" ”

Yan Li shook his head, "This may not be. ”

Well?

Rong Jin looked at Yan Li hesitantly.

Yan Li picked up the empty teacup in front of Rong Jin, refilled a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, and after Rong Jin took a sip of hot tea, he continued: "Although he is jealous of Wei, but he is extremely conceited in his heart, he may be worried that Wei's rebellion, as for forcing the palace...... Even if he thought about it, he would never have imagined that Webster could move so fast. ”

Rong Jin thought so. It's not that she thinks Yan Zhengtian is an idiot, but under the double calculations of Yan Li and Empress Wei, she doesn't believe that Yan Zhengtian has the ability to investigate this chess game!

Three days!

Three days later, the sky of Northern Qi will change, right?

"Empress Wei has been operating in this harem for more than ten years, Wei Shili is an old minister of the two dynasties, and he started with military merits, if he really intends to force the palace, he is afraid of ......" Rong Jin looked at Yan Li with a hesitant expression.

Yan Li patted Rong Jin's hand and said softly: "Don't worry, if Wei Shili really raises troops to rebel, it will not be possible, but if he just forces the palace, even if he has Queen Wei's hand, he will not succeed so easily." ”

"Why?" Rong Jin looked at Yan Li puzzled.

Yan Li smiled and said softly: "Several of the guards guarding the palace are all dispatched by the children of the clan, and there are 100,000 Qin Wang troops stationed outside the palace all year round. ”

Rong Jin couldn't help but ask strangely: "Hearing you say this, if Wei Shi forces the palace, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, will he really do what we want?" ”

"Yes." Yan Li nodded and said, "According to the time, at this time, King Wen Jin should have disguised himself into the General's Mansion. ”

King Wen Jin went to the General's Mansion?

After Rong Jin was stunned, he couldn't help but laugh.

Yes, how could she forget that this time, King Wen Jin is the biggest winner, so how can he not work hard?!

At this time, Wei Shili, who was being nagged by Rong Jin and Yan Li, took the things handed by the porter, and after being stunned, he immediately asked urgently: "What about people?" ”

"If you go back to the master, the person is sitting in the gatehouse." The steward replied softly.

Wei Shili's sharp eyes bloomed with a strange brilliance, and without saying a word, he turned around and walked out.

Looking at this formation, it seems that he is going to personally go to the gatehouse used to entertain guests outside the Hanging Flower Gate.

The steward didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed.

No, Wei Shili stopped after taking a few steps.

If the steward behind him hadn't tightened his feet quickly, he would have almost hit the ground.

"Master......" The steward looked at Wei Shili cautiously.

Wei Shili was silent for a moment, and said softly, "You go and invite someone in." ”

When the words fell, he turned around and went back to the study.

The steward couldn't help but froze in place, and looked at Wei Shili in astonishment after a few steps to the eaves of the study.

"Why are you still stunned here?" Wei Shili turned back and whispered to the steward.

The steward suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly answered, turned around and hurriedly retreated.

After about a quarter of an hour, the steward returned to the study with a figure covered from head to toe by a gray hooded crane, and the steward had to humbly come forward to report it, but the door of the study was opened from the inside.

Wei Shili, dressed in a green sermon robe, stood inside the threshold, his eyes fell on the gray cloaked man, and whispered to the steward: "Go down, give orders to go down, let all the secret guards retreat to the study, and not even a single insect is allowed to enter." ”

The steward was distracted, and in response, he turned around and retreated without daring to raise his head.

And in this compartment, as soon as the steward left, Wei Shili turned to the side of the threshold, and he turned to one side, and the cloaked man who had been standing silently like a shadow outside the threshold walked in elegantly.

There was a creak, and the door was gently closed behind him.

The cloaked man stretched out his slender hand and slowly took off the hood on his head, and before he was about to turn around, Wei Shili's old and solemn voice had already sounded in his ears, "The old minister has seen the prince." ”

"I came here late at night, but did you disturb the old general?" King Wen Jin said with a smile to Wei Shili, who looked respectful.

Wei Shili didn't dare to say anything, and returned the jade pendant to King Wen Jin with both hands that King Wen Jin had asked the porter to give.

King Wen Jin smiled and took the jade pendant returned by Wei Shili and stuffed it into his sleeve cage casually, and looked up at the place he was.

The black lacquer bookcase is full of thread-bound books, and in addition to some porcelain dendrobiums that match the occasion, there are also various delicate and small swords on the shelves, and the most striking of them is a heavy bow hanging from the wall.

King Wen Jin's eyes lingered for a while on the heavy bow that was still shiny even though it had been idle for many years, and then turned around and smiled at Wei Shili, who looked at him quietly, and said: "The big red robe of Fujian tribute this year, I heard that the emperor rewarded the old general with half a catty, can this king ask the old general for a cup of tea with a thick face?" ”

Although Wei Shili was still secretly speculating about King Wen Jin's intentions, his face was not obvious, and after listening to King Wen Jin's words, he said with a smile: "The prince doesn't have any good things there, but he still has to worry about the only good things that Lao Chen has." ”

After the words fell, he walked to the desk in person, took a delicate celadon blue flower jar and placed it on the table, turned around and moved a set of tea sets for making tea, and walked to the Luohan couch facing east with steady steps.

"Tea is good tea, but it's a pity that the old minister is not a master here, I'm afraid that he will disappoint the prince."

King Wen Jin smiled and threw the untied cloak aside, and Lang smiled and stepped forward, "This king has studied a little, if the old general can be trusted, why don't you let this king show his ugliness, how about it?" ”

Wei Shili immediately followed the good flow, "In this way, there will be Prince Lao." ”

King Wen Jin smiled, took off his shoes, and sat down opposite Wei Shili.

The reason why good tea is good tea is not only that its soup color is clear, but also that it is mellow and long-lasting. It's just a short breath of time, as the slender fingers of King Wen Jin danced like butterflies through flowers in the tea cup, a mellow tea fragrance instantly dispersed in the bucket room.

King Wen Jin put down the teapot in his hand, picked up the sweet white porcelain cup in front of him, and looked at Wei Shili, who was quietly savoring the clear and bright tea soup with his eyes slightly closed.

As if sensing his gaze, Wei Shili put down the tea cup in his hand that had been emptied, and said to King Wen Jin with a smile: "The prince came to visit late at night, not just for this cup of tea, right?" ”

King Wen Jin smiled and put down the teacup in his hand, "Why didn't the old general ask, where did this king come from?" ”

The smile on Wei Shili's face froze.

Because the emperor was jealous of Wei, on the surface, he naturally needed to make a move to avoid suspicion, but his private actions were constant. Only, this does not include the children of the Yan family, let alone King Wen Jin, who is regarded as the successor of the Yan clan and the old Jin king!

But it must have been immersed in officialdom for decades, and in just a moment, Wei Shili cleaned up the stunned emotions in his heart, a just right smile bloomed on his face, and he looked up at King Wen Jin, "That's the case, the old minister has the courage to ask, I don't know where the prince came from." ”

"Haha......"

King Wen Jin let out a string of dull laughs.

Wei Shili raised his eyebrows and looked at King Wen Jin with a smile.

There is a way to do nothing without stooling the Three Treasures Palace, King Wen Jin came to him late at night, he naturally didn't think that he really came for the half-catty red robe. However, even if he has doubts in his heart, when King Wen Jin does not show his attitude, he will not say anything rashly, and the best attitude is of course to pretend to be stupid!

Thinking of this, the smile on Wei Shili's face became a little deeper, and he looked at King Wen Jin, "Lord Wang, I don't know what can make Lord Wang so happy?" ”

King Wen Jin put a smile on his face and looked at Wei Shili, "Old general, can you invite the second prince to come out and see him, this king is here to say hello to the second prince." ”

Wei Shili's white but sharp brows wrung involuntarily.

Yan Ke is in his mansion, although it is not a secret, but the people who know it are limited to so many people. In this, it will not include King Wen Jin. But right now, King Wen Jin is so determined to let him invite the second prince...... Thinking of the message sent by the queen, Wei Shili groaned slightly, and was about to open his mouth to shirk it, but he didn't want King Wen Jin to speak again.

"Old general, you should already know what happened in the palace, right?"

Wei Shili's gray eyes shrank suddenly, and then he squinted at King Wen Jin.

At this time, perhaps most of the dignitaries in the imperial city did not know the news that Concubine Shu had destroyed the imperial heir overnight, but Wei, who was a relative of the middle palace, said that he did not know...... Wei Shili tugged at the corners of his mouth, his eyes drooped slightly, he let out a long sigh, and said softly: "Alas, she is also a mother, how can she do such a heartbreaking act?" ”

This is a side acknowledgment, Merriam-Webster already knows what is happening in the palace.

King Wen Jin raised his eyebrows, "Fortunately, the second prince escaped this catastrophe because of the blessing of misfortune. ”

Empress Wei immediately sent out the matter of Concubine Shu killing the prince, and when she was there, she would also send the news that the emperor had left King Wen Jin to discuss at night in the Qianning Palace. It can be said that from the moment King Wen Jin entered the palace, from his intention to his every move and every word, Wei Shili was speculating about his intentions.

At this time, hearing the sentence "No Ji Tailai", the already restless heart couldn't help but lose his rhythm more and more, he forcibly suppressed the urge to ask the truth, took the fist-sized teapot on the table, filled the empty teacup of King Wen Jin, and said with a smile: "It is said that the third dish of this tea brew is the best taste, and the prince will pay for it." ”

King Wen Jin nodded, picked up the teacup, and he swallowed the tea soup of more than an inch in three times, put the teacup in his hand, looked up at Wei Shili, and praised: "As the old general said, this third course is intriguing." ”

Wei Shili smiled and brought a cup of tea to his lips and drank it slowly.

However, he was full of bitterness and couldn't taste the taste of Sihao.

Although the second prince escaped from the killing, with the emperor's dislike of Wei's, he did not think that even if there was only one son left in the second prince, the emperor would easily change his course and change his opinion of the second prince, so as to make him the prince.

On the contrary, he always had a bad feeling, as if something big was going to happen faintly.

Of course, he is not the kind of person who blindly allows others to be bullied, but if he really wants to embark on that road, he will really succeed for a hundred years, and if he fails, he will be stinking for thousands of years, not only that, but he will take the lives of hundreds of people up and down the entire Wei family! I can't help him be cautious, why can't he not be entangled!

But if he can get the help of the clan, the matter is different...... Wei Shili lowered his eyes and looked at the empty teacup in his palm in a daze, speechless for a long time.

If he didn't make a sound, King Wen Jin would naturally not make a sound.

The intention has already shown that at this moment, it depends on Wei Shili's choice between wealth and danger, or stability and life.

The room suddenly fell silent, the wind outside the window was blowing, and the branches of the trees were beating on the window edge to make a "popping" sound, which made this quiet study more and more weird.

Just as King Wen Jin was about to add another fire, Wei Shili's voice finally sounded.

"Lord, the second prince not only has the blood of my Wei family, but also the blood of the Yan royal family, in terms of background, he is a descendant of the middle palace, in terms of talent and knowledge, he has become a bright one among many princes. Was it because of half of Merriam-Webster's blood that he had to give up what was supposed to be his? ”

King Wen Jin raised his eyebrows lightly.

After all this gossip, it's finally time to get down to business!

He didn't answer Wei Shili's words immediately, but after a little muttering, he said softly: "Old general, you are a soldier, you should know better than anyone what it means to meet the brave on a narrow road." Blindly being wronged and unwilling will not allow you to get what you want, but if you let go and fight for it, maybe you can get it. ”

Wei Shili's lean face, fleshless cheeks twitched uncontrollably.

To fight, to grab, to grab...... King Wen Jin, what does he mean?

The fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince are all gone, if the position of the prince is not the second prince, then who else can it be? Your Majesty, what does he want to do?

Wei Shili looked at King Wen Jin, his chapped lips under his gray beard were as if he had been in the army for more than ten days and had not been touched, he involuntarily swallowed his dry throat, the stinging pain of the knife cut made his nose sour, and his eyes involuntarily turned red.

"Lord Wang, what do you mean by this?"

King Wen Jin smiled, he looked at Wei Shili, whose face was difficult to hide his defeat, and said word by word: "Old general, the emperor is determined to personally come forward to testify that the second prince killed his brother!" ”

With a "snap", the empty teacup in Wei Shili's hand fell on the coffee table, and the white porcelain teacup produced by the high-grade official kiln suddenly fell apart, but he ignored it completely, and only stared at King Wen Jin with round eyes.

King Wen Jin also collected all the smiles on his face at this moment, and looked at Wei Shili, who was like being struck by thunder, with a heavy gaze: "Old general, as you said, the second prince is also a disciple of my Yan family, and the candidates for the princes of all dynasties are nothing more than the words "grandson" and "virtuous." He doesn't lack either, but the emperor ...... Old general, this king is also a child of the Yan family, and it is the duty of the ancestor to protect the foundation of the ancestors, and this king can't watch the emperor ...... him."

Wei Shili clenched the hand resting on his lap, he squinted, and looked at King Wen Jin motionlessly.

King Wen Jin calmly met his gaze.

After a long time, seeing that Wei Shili was just trembling his lips, but he didn't give a proper answer, King Wen Jin let out a long sigh, got up and said: "That's it, this king originally thought that the old general was full of blood, that is, not for the second prince, but also for the first emperor, for me...... Now it seems that it is the fault of this king. This world belongs to the emperor, not ......"

"Lord Wang!"

Wei Shili's slightly shrill voice sounded behind him.

Wen Jin Wang's body stiffened, and he slowly turned around and looked up at Wei Shili.

"Lord, the emperor really wants to come forward in person......"

"If the old general doesn't believe it, tomorrow morning the dynasty will naturally understand whether what this king said is true or false!" King Wen Jin said lightly.

Wei Shili slowly stood up on the table, just stood on the Luohan couch, and bowed to King Wen Jin, who was half-leaning, "Wei thank the prince for his great kindness." ”

"Oh, what is the old general doing!" Across a coffee table, King Wen Jin hurriedly leaned over to stop Wei Shili, "The old general is so tormented by this king!" ”

Wei Shili was no longer reluctant after a wave, and straightened up with King Wen Jin's hand and sat back down.

Like this, King Wen Jin naturally wouldn't go again, and immediately sat down cross-legged again, and asked, "Old general, can you think of a countermeasure?" ”

Wei Shili did not answer King Wen Jin's words, but suddenly asked, "Lord Wang, how can you help with this?" ”

It seemed that he had been waiting for him to ask this sentence for a long time, King Wen Jin didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "Old general, didn't this king say it, this king is also a disciple of the Yan family, and it is the duty of protecting the ancestral foundation." ”

Wei Shili frowned.

After a pause, King Wen Jin continued: "Of course, this king is also a layman, and he is used to urinating and living the days of brocade clothes, jade food, gold slaves and silver maids. This king has thought about such a day, and the children of the same clan like this king also want to continue to live. ”

The implication is that he stood up to support the second prince at this moment, representing not only himself, but also the entire Yan family. And in return, after the second prince succeeded in the stool, he wanted to ensure the prosperity and wealth of these people!

Wei Shili's frown slowly loosened.

This is a reasonable explanation, everyone lives in this world, whether they say or do, they should always have a purpose. If it was really as righteous as King Wen Jin said, he didn't believe it. However, King Wen Jin could tell him euphemistically that what he wanted was just not to lose his current splendid life, but Wei Shili believed it.

Tomorrow morning, if the emperor really personally testifies that the second prince killed his brother, then even if he can send the second prince to the throne in the future, this stigma will indeed not be washed away for a lifetime, not to mention, this Manchu Dynasty has different civil and military thoughts, and he can still kill all the dissidents?

No, the emperor must not be allowed to say such things in the early dynasty.

However, no matter how incompetent the emperor is, he is still the emperor, not to mention, he Wei Shili is just able to fight against the emperor, far from being in power!

Wei Shili couldn't help but tighten his brows.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, King Wen Jin got up to say goodbye after drinking another cup of tea.

Wei Shili did not stay behind, and personally sent King Wen Jin to the second gate, and in order to avoid people's eyes, the chief manager sent him outside the gate on his behalf.

After a while, the chief manager came back to his life, "Master, the person has left." ”

Wei Shili nodded.

He was silent for a while, and instructed the chief manager: "Let people send a message into the palace and tell Niangniang that you must not let the emperor attend tomorrow's morning court, not only tomorrow, but also the next two days." ”

"Yes, sir."

The chief manager retreated and arranged for someone to enter the palace to deliver the message.

In this compartment, Wei Shili sat alone in the study for a long time, until the voice of his wife Xu sounded outside, and then he forced his full stomach to suppress his thoughts, got up and opened the door of the study.

"Why are you here?" After the words fell, he picked up his feet and walked out, raised his hand to take the hand of his old wife, and said with pity: "On such a cold day, if you have something to do, let the next person run, why do you want to run this trip yourself." ”

As he spoke, he covered his wife's cold hand in his palm and rubbed it one by one.

Xu was also born in a scholarly family, and everything obeyed his father and brother before he got married, and everything was based on Wei Shili's meaning after marriage. It is a typical woman with three subordinates and four virtues, and after listening to Wei Shili's words of pity at this moment, a gentle smile bloomed on Fanghua's face, and she said softly: "It's all three watches, and the concubine saw that you haven't gone back to the house to rest, so she came over to take a look." ”

"Three watches?" Wei Shili looked at his old wife in astonishment.

Xu nodded, "Well, it's really three watches." ”

"It's so late!" Wei Shili looked up at the vast night, took his wife's warm hand, and walked towards the main courtyard, and said softly as he walked: "Then you have to go quickly, otherwise it will really be dawn as soon as you close your eyes." ”

Xu Shi said unhurriedly: "It's okay, fortunately, you don't have to go to court, even if you go to bed late, it doesn't matter." ”

Wei Shili nodded.

"I heard someone say, it looks like a visitor, who is coming?" Xu asked softly, "Why did you come to the door so late, but what happened?" ”

"It's nothing, an old subordinate from the past, when he encountered some difficulties, came to ask me for an idea." Wei Shili said.

Xu nodded, tightened Wei Shili's hand tightly, and said with a kind face: "Well, they are all people who follow you from the beginning, if you really can't help it, you won't ask for it, you can help." ”

"Well, I've promised him." Wei Shili said.

Xu raised his head and smiled at Wei Shili, all the way down, the old husband and wife didn't say a word, but the kind of harmony between the two, the depth of carving each other's feelings into each other's souls, is enviable.

"Master, the concubine hasn't seen Jing'er for a few days, and she is always a little restless these days, and the concubine wants to hand over a post to the palace tomorrow to see her." Xu's faint voice sounded.

"Three days later, it will be the winter solstice, and when the time comes, the emperor and her will have a big banquet for the ministers, and she is afraid that she will be busy with the palace banquet in the past two days. Wei Shili said.

Xu Shi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, the master has a point, so I won't hand over the post of the concubine." ”

Wei Shili tightened his wife's hand, and tightened the heavy cloak wrapped around her sideways, and then led the old wife to continue walking.

……

Imperial Palace, Qianning Palace.

After Yan Zhengtian listened to Tong Xi's reply, a trace of anger on his gray face spread uncontrollably.

In the silent hall, there was nothing but the faint panting sound between the master and servant, Tong Xi stood aside with his eyebrows lowered and lowered his eyes, but his heart was far from being as calm as he appeared.

Before the queen made trouble, a glass of poisoned wine ended all the grievances between her and the emperor. The queen took advantage of the situation to fall on the death of Her Royal Highness on the lady concubine. said that Concubine Shuniang colluded with the divine doctor Hua Hecheng, and when she learned that His Royal Highness had no hope of getting better, she did not hesitate to kill her son with her own hands and blame His Royal Highness.

With the fact that Concubine Shu poisoned the four princes, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince, and there is the confession of the divine doctor Hua Hecheng, the charge of killing the child, Concubine Shu Niangniang can't escape! But how could the emperor be willing? The emperor may not feel sorry for Concubine Shu's death, but the emperor never wants the throne to fall into the hands of the second prince with Wei's blood. In this palace, there is a turbulent dark war, so far I am afraid that it is about to kick off, right?

What did he do?

He is the most loyal to the emperor, but now there is only one second prince under the emperor's knees, and behind the second prince there is a strong old general Wei and Queen Wei who firmly holds the harem in his hands. Shouldn't he rethink his position?

Thinking like this, Empress Wei's words rang in her ears again.

"Tong Xi, you used to help the second prince in the palace, not only the palace but also the second prince, he also remembered it in his heart. This palace knows that you are loyal to the emperor, but this palace wants to persuade you, the emperor is not young anymore, even if there is a dragon heir, but it is really not easy to raise a child in this harem, don't you say? ”

Isn't it?

The corners of Tong Xi's lips bloomed into a smile that was almost invisible.

The queens of the Lord of the Six Palaces all said this, so it can be seen that of course it is really not easy! But it's not just that it's not easy to raise a child, but how can it be so easy for palace people to live a good life and live a smooth life? However, there is no shortage of dead people in this harem. But anyone can die, but he can't die. After so many years, I have survived to the point where I am now, and it is time to enjoy life, how can I ...... Tong Xi, who had made up his mind, quietly looked at Yan Zhengtian, who was gloomy and silent.

"Your Majesty, what now?"

When Yan Zhengtian heard this, his gloomy face that could drip water slowly raised, and he looked at Shangtong with a panicked gaze, "I have my own idea, let people come in and wait." ”

Tong Xi was silent for a moment, but the next moment, he responded respectfully, retreated lightly to the threshold, and beckoned the palace people who had been sent to wait in the outer hall earlier to avoid suspicion.

Just when everyone was busy performing their duties, Yan Zhengtian's deep voice sounded above his head. "Heling, you stay and wait, and everyone else retreats."

Crane Feather! Tong Xi's eyebrows raised slightly. In the main hall, the movements of the other palace people also stagnated, and they couldn't help but look at Heling who was unveiling the incense burner and preparing to fill the incense.

After Heling was stunned for a moment, he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and answered "yes", filled in the half-buried lily incense, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and walked towards Yan Zhengtian on the dragon couch.

Tong Xi took a deep look at himself and walked sideways, kneeling under the dragon couch He Ling glanced at it, and after a moment of silence, he took the lead in turning around and walking out.

The next day, the emperor did not go to court, and Queen Wei, who had been busy all night, hurriedly rushed to Qianning Hall with the palace people after receiving the reward from the palace people. As soon as they arrived at the Qianning Palace, the imperial doctors who filled the Qianning Hall were first reprimanded angrily. After scolding, his eyes turned red, and while looking at Yan Zhengtian, who was pale and unconscious on the couch, he asked, "What the hell is going on?" Although I was not in good spirits yesterday, I didn't let everyone wake up, but today is ......"

Long before the queen mother came, the imperial doctor headed by the head of the hospital checked Yan Zhengtian's pulse, and he already knew the reason why the emperor would not wake up. However, it is one thing to know, but it is another thing to say and not to say.

The queen mother spoke, naturally someone needed to answer, the head of the courtyard was pushed forward, wiped the sweaty forehead of the winter, knelt down and replied: "Niangniang, the reason why the emperor suddenly fell unconscious, Yichen and other consultations thought that it was because he was worried about the overwork of state affairs and was so weak that he was deficient in qi and blood, and now he was suddenly stimulated, and his heart suddenly expanded, and he was affected by it......"

"This palace doesn't listen to so much nonsense, so this palace will ask you if the emperor has any big problems with his body." Empress Wei interrupted the words of the head of the courtyard, and stared at the head of the courtyard who replied with sharp eyes.

The back of the courtyard head with low eyebrows and lowered eyes was wet in an instant, and he said in a loud voice: "It's okay, it's okay, as long as you recuperate for a while and then supplement it with a prescription to regulate qi and blood, just rest for a few days." ”

Empress Wei's furrowed brows were relieved, she nodded, waved her hand and said, "Since that's the case, you go down and prescribe a prescription." ”

"Yes, sissy."

The head of the hospital turned around and retreated with a dry doctor Hula.

"Tong Xi." Empress Wei raised her eyes lightly and looked at Tong Xi who was waiting on the side, "The time of this early dynasty is almost over, you go for a trip and tell all the adults that the emperor's dragon body is slightly sick, and today's morning dynasty will be spared." ”

"Yes, sissy."

Tong Xi retreated.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Empress Wei moved her gaze away from Yan Zhengtian, who was pale and sleepy, and there was also a gloomy color between her eyebrows, and looked at the palace people in the hall who were standing with bated breath, and finally her eyes fell on one of them. Just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall, which seemed to be mixed with sobbing.

"Who's making a noise outside the temple?" Empress Wei raised her eyes and asked sharply.

When the little eunuch waiting outside the palace hurriedly walked in, he replied in a trembling voice: "If you go back to Niangniang, it is several nobles in the harem who heard that the emperor was spared from the early dynasty because of the slight illness of the dragon, and rushed over to visit. ”

The look on Empress Wei's face was not better because of the words of the little palace people, but became more and more aggressive, and said angrily: "You go and tell them that instead of disturbing the emperor's recuperation by not helping here, it is better to go back and copy a few more scriptures so that you can pray for the emperor." ”

"Yes, sissy."

Xiao Miyato hurriedly retreated again.

Now in the palace, the only concubine who can compete with Queen Wei is dead, and the only two princes who have died are the queen's second prince, even if the truth of the facts is in front of you, but who can say that there is no queen's handwriting here? In this palace, who would dare to go against Queen Wei's wishes?

Almost as soon as the little eunuch's words fell, the concubines who were originally gathered outside the palace gate, after their faces turned pale, they didn't even dare to cry more. Soon, there was silence outside the temple gate, and there seemed to be a faint sound of ringing down and leaving with messy steps.

Empress Wei in the palace instructed Fang Ruo, who was waiting behind her, at this time: "The palace was confused for a while just now, and I forgot that the emperor is afraid that this palace alone is not enough, you went and invited Concubine Li to be a companion with the palace." ”

"Yes, sissy."

Fang Ruo retreated.

About a quarter of an hour later, Concubine Li followed Fang Ruo into the main hall.

"The concubine has seen the queen's mother." Concubine Li stepped forward and saluted.

Empress Wei waved her hand and said to Concubine Li: "Sister Concubine Li, you come to see the emperor, it's okay to be at ease, sit down and talk to the palace, it just so happens that the palace also has something to explain to you." ”

"Thank you for your grace." After Concubine Li stepped forward and took a closer look at Yan Zhengtian, she had to wipe the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then sat down beside Queen Wei, and said in a choked voice: "Niangniang has something to do, just give orders, and the concubine will definitely live up to her trust." ”

Empress Wei glanced at Empress Yan Zhengtian on the bed lightly, raised her hand and patted Concubine Li's hand resting on her lap, and said softly: "My sister is a good one, and thanks to you, this palace can save a lot of heart." ”

Concubine Li's body stiffened, and she said with a slight trembling voice: "I don't deserve such praise from my mother, concubine ......"

"Well, there is no one else here, and my sister doesn't have to be so polite with this palace. This palace invited you to come because I want you to help arrange the winter solstice banquet three days later. Empress Wei said.

Concubine Li couldn't help but look up at Queen Wei, but after just a glance, she quickly lowered her face, "Concubine Li, everything is according to the mother's arrangement." ”

Empress Wei nodded with satisfaction, her chin was slightly raised, her eyes swept around the group of palace people, and finally stopped at Heling who lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, "You come over and watch, this palace and Concubine Li will talk outside, so as to save the emperor from arguing, if there is something, make people go back and forth." ”

Heling stepped forward.

Empress Wei got up and took Concubine Li to the side hall of Qianning Hall to speak.

And in this compartment, the courtiers who got Tong Xi's words, several princes led by King Wen Jin learned that the emperor could not go to court early due to illness, and they couldn't help but worry about Zhong Zhong, and together with several other ministers of the humerus, Tong Xi led them to the Qianning Palace.

After carefully asking the imperial doctor, and looking at the emperor's previous pulse case, everyone was relieved, and at this moment, Yan Zhengtian, who was asleep on the dragon couch, suddenly opened his eyes and woke up, but because he was weak and weak, he couldn't even say a complete sentence. After barely saying a few intermittent words to King Wen Jin and the others, the person fell asleep again.

And at this time, the news that Concubine Shu killed three princes overnight has also spread all over half of the imperial city, regardless of whether the heavenly family has true feelings or not, the son died overnight, but the one left behind is the one he likes the most, and the adults present are all fathers, and the bitterness and helplessness in the meantime are naturally very understandable. For a while, everyone attributed the emperor's sudden illness to the loss of the prince, and no one thought about it elsewhere.

Fortunately, the division of labor among the courtiers is clear, even if the emperor suddenly falls, the yamen of each ministry should still be done properly. That is, there are many things that need to be decided by the emperor, and those who can wait will wait, and those who can't wait will be discussed and handled by the left and right sides and the six Shangshu.

Therefore, Yan Zhengtian's illness made these courtiers who were not in harmony with each other in the past a rare harmony. Between the courts, a rare positive energy twisted into a ball of vitality was released!

In the face of such a scene, some people are happy and some are worried, but whether they are happy or sad, it is the winter solstice night banquet three days later in a blink of an eye.

The winter solstice of the Northern Qi Dynasty, in addition to many celebration ceremonies, the palace banquet banquet for many ministers and many internal and external women, the next three days of the rest of the dynasty, the king does not listen to the government, and the people are to break the city for three days to celebrate.

It can be seen that this festival really responds to the saying "the winter solstice is as big as the year"!

When the whole country was celebrating this festival, Rong Jin and Yan Li sat in Changfang Hall with frowns and were speechless for a long time.

They got the news half an hour ago that Emperor Li Xuan of Yongchang had died!

Emperor Yongchang has died, and Li Xi has definitely taken all the forces into his own use in the past few days, and then, he should deal with them with all his thoughts and get involved in Jingshan, right? Of course, maybe when they don't know, he may have already been involved in Jingshan!

"What should I do?" Rong Jin raised his head and looked at Yan Li, and asked softly, "As long as Li Xi sits firmly on this throne, the first person he wants to deal with is you and me." ”

Yan Li nodded, what Rong Jin could think of, he naturally thought of it.

"Aunt Lan," Yan Li looked up at Lan Ying, who was sitting on the side, "Aunt Lan, I will write a letter and draw a picture, you can send it to Yeli as soon as possible, let her find a way to sneak into the palace, take out the jade seal I hid there that day, and then find a way to send the jade seal to Feng Yiping." ”

Send the heirloom jade seal to Feng Yiping, so that Li Kai will be famous if he wants to raise troops against Li Xi!

Rong Jin looked at Yan Li with appreciation, and Yan Li smiled back.

After a short time, Yan Li drew a small picture of the entrance of the underground passage of the Dongxia Palace and the location where he hid the jade seal that day and handed it to the Lan Ying who was waiting on the side.

Just as Lan Ying was about to leave, Rong Jin suddenly said, "Yan Li, I have an idea." ”

Yan Li looked at Rong Jin.

Rong Jin's dark eyes flashed darkly, and he looked at Yan Li with a smile, "You can make two copies of this picture just now at the same time, one point and the jade seal will be sent to Feng Yiping, and the other pair will be kept by Yeli, if the situation changes in the future, you can have someone give it to Li Xi." ”

"You mean ......"

"That's right, what I mean is that no matter whether Li Kai can share half of Li Xi's country or not, as long as he has the tunnel map of the Dongxia Palace in his hand, Li Xi will be able to sit firmly in the country, and he will have to live a life with a knife hanging on the top every day." Rong Jin said with a smile: "And the reason why I need another leave to give to Li Xi for time is that if Li Kai succeeds in seizing the throne, then this map will become a tool for Li Xi to deal with him, no matter what happens to the two of them, we can always sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." ”

Yan Li looked at Rong Jin with great appreciation, stroked his palms and said, "Wonderful, just do it according to your idea." ”

After the words fell, he motioned to Lan Ying to wait for a while, and he picked up the pen he put down again, and after a short time, he redrew a small picture and handed it to Lan Ying, "There is Aunt Lao Lan." ”

Lan Ying shook his head with a smile, put this picture away with the previous one, and then turned around and left in a hurry, arranging for someone to send the letter out as soon as possible.

In the room, Rong Jin and Yan Li continued their previous topic.

"I don't know if it's too late." Rong Jin said worriedly: "From Linhuang Mansion to Dongxia, it will take a month at the earliest, and the news will be sent to the capital......

"Don't worry, the general emperor needs to stop for fifteen days before the funeral, and when Emperor Yongchang is buried, it will be the Lunar New Year in a few days. We had plenty of time! After a pause, he said with a smile: "Also, don't forget, there is Feng Yiping by Li Kai's side, even if Li Kai wants to be in a safe corner, Feng Yiping will not agree." ”

Rong Jin thought about it for a while, thinking that the matter here would soon have a result, and leaving Northern Qi was just around the corner, and a tangled heart slowly calmed down.

"A few days ago, the cotton wool sent a message over there, saying that Yao Lixian, the household servant, was bombed by the imperial history because of greed for ink, I remember that the third son of the household servant Yao Lixian married the cousin of Yuan Guifei's mother's family, and the princess originally designated by Li Kai was also Yao Xiurong in the household servant's mansion." Rong Jin looked at Yan Li and said, "If I'm not wrong, I think it's Li Xi who is starting to settle old accounts, right?" ”

Yan Li picked the corners of his lips, "If you can endure it until this time, you can do it, and he can be regarded as able to endure it." ”

Rong Jin smiled and said: "It is estimated that I will not be serious for a while, after all, if I were him, no matter whether the Yao family could contain Li Kai or not, I would have to try, even if I couldn't, I could make Li Kai fall into the name of being unkind." ”

When the words fell, he paused but twisted his brows, and said hesitantly: "It's okay for the Yao family, but what I'm really worried about is Runan Hou Tan Hongye." ”

Yan Li looked up at Rong Jin, "Runan Hou?" ”

Rong Jin nodded, "Although Runan Hou's affection for my mother back then was not known to the world, the Dongxia Xun Guiyuan was spread all over the world. I only hope that Li Xi is not so despicable as to use him in order to deal with you and me. ”

Yan Li patted Rong Jin's hand, "It's too early to think about all this, let's deal with the current matter first, and then talk about it later." ”

Rong Jin nodded, just about to change the topic, Aunt Lan, who didn't want to go out, hurriedly turned back, and there was still some distance away, and at a glance, you could see that her face was not very good-looking, and her eyebrows were slightly frowned.

Yan Li and Rong Jin exchanged glances, and there was a look of worry in their eyes.

"Aunt Lan." Yan Li looked up at Lan Ying and asked softly, "Your face is so ugly, what's wrong?" ”

Lan Ying looked at Yan Li without saying anything, and his eyes fell on Rong Jin on Yan Li's side.

Rong Jin's heart froze and couldn't help but look up at Lan Ying, "Aunt Lan ......"

"Miss Rong, something happened in the capital!" Lan Ying interrupted Rong Jin's words and said directly.

Rong Jin was stunned, something happened in the capital?

"What's wrong?" Rong Jin asked in a lost voice.

Lan Ying sighed, stepped forward and sat down beside Yan Li, and after a moment of silence, he said softly: "I just received the news that Manfang Building has been sealed, and the government has issued a red list to reward a few people for the arrest of cotton wool. ”

Rong Jin Huoran stood up.

On that day, Tianxianglou ended Tianxianglou because of Gu Qinghong, and Yan Ruxin ended Tianxianglou without a standard in order to avoid trouble. When the cotton wool returned to Dongxia from Jingshan, Rong Jin asked her to find Fuwa, Nuan Chun and Hongdou who stayed in the imperial city, took over the Tianxiang Building that day, renamed Manfang Building and reopened.

Now that Lan Ying suddenly said that Manfanglou was seized, and several people were arrested by the red list bounty, Rong Jin suddenly thought of the death of Emperor Yongchang, thought of Li Xi, and thought of ...... She narrowed her eyes and sat down slowly, her eyes fixed on the white porcelain tea cup in front of her, and she didn't say anything for a long time.

Lan Ying couldn't help but look at Yan Li worriedly, and Yan Li shook his head.

Leaning slightly, Rong Jin's voice sounded faintly.

"Aunt Lan, you rush back to Jingshan now."

Lan Ying and Yan Li looked at Rong Jin at the same time.

Kyoto cotton wool and they had an accident, but Rong Jin asked Aunt Lan to rush back to Jingshan, what does it mean?

"Jin'er ......"

"Rush back to Jingshan, take down Liu Nianxia, if she resists, kill on the spot!" Rong Jin interrupted Yan Li's words and said loudly.

Lan Ying frowned, "Miss Rong, Linlang is already on her way back to Jingshan, she should be ......"

"No," Rong Jin shook her head, she looked at Lan Ying, and said word by word: "Since Qingyu can detect Liu Nianxia's abnormality, how could Liu Nianxia not know that Qingyu will tell us about her discovery?" If there is no accident in Man Fanglou, I can still tell myself that Liu Nianxia may just be suspicious, and it must be Li Xi's person. But now, I can be 100% sure that Liu Nianxia must be the traitor of Li Xi's faction by my side! ”

Yan Li and Lan Ying thought about it for a while, and then they also understood why Rong Jin was so sure.

Buying Tianxiang Building and changing course Manfang Lou was decided after Rong Jin left the capital and returned to Jingshan. In other words, that is, Manfanglou is Rongjin's industry, and no one knows about this matter except for the cotton wool, Liu Nianxia and Xingyu sisters, and Fuwa, who is far away in the capital.

But now, Li Xi can seal Manfanglou so accurately, and also issue a red list to reward a few people for the arrest of cotton wool, if it is said that there is no traitor, this is unjustifiable! In addition, the news from Qingyu before. It's no wonder that Rong Jin can conclude that the traitor is Liu Nianxia!

It is not terrible that Liu Nianxia is a traitor, after all, they have always been on guard, but now that Emperor Yongchang is dead, Li Xi took Man Fanglou to open the knife, and what Li Xi pointed at is clear at a glance! Jingshan, Liu Nianxia was only afraid that he was just dormant in the past, but now he ...... Yan Li's hand clenched slightly.

Li Xi, he really underestimated him!

Being able to bury a nail in Rong Jin's side so early, such a deep city, it is no wonder that Emperor Yongchang did not like it and never wanted to abolish the prince that day, thinking about it, it is really more suitable for that position than Li Kai!

"Young Master ......" Lan Yingyu frowned slightly, and looked at Yan Li worriedly.

With Qingyu's intelligence and vigilance, Lan Ying is not worried about what kind of substantial losses Liu Nianxia will cause to Jingshan, but if Liu Nianxia is the person of the crown prince Li Xi, then the matter is another matter!

If Li Xi didn't have all the preparations, he wouldn't have been able to take Manfang Lou at this time, since Li Xi had made a move, then Jingshan would ...... A thin layer of sweat appeared on Lan Ying's back, and his eyes looked at Yan Li nervously.

Yan Lidang made up his mind, "According to Miss Rong's meaning, Aunt Lan, you should rush back to Jingshan immediately." ”

Aunt Lan also realized the seriousness of the problem, so she didn't say much, hurriedly said a few words to Yan Li and Rong Jin, turned around and went back to the house to pack her things, and didn't even say goodbye, she quietly left the palace and returned to Jingshan.

In the next two days, news continued to be sent from Dongxia, and then transferred by Feng Wei to Yan Li. Sometimes, the last message was delivered, and Feng Wei didn't have time to leave, and the next message was sent again.

During this period, Li Xi complied with the wishes of his ministers and ascended the throne as emperor, and Li Xi ordered the kings of all parts of the country to return to Beijing for funeral, but of course, the most important thing was that Li Kai rebelled in Jingzhou!

And Yan Li and Rong Jin, who had been holding their breath for the past two days, finally breathed a sigh of relief when they got this last news, no matter what the future holds, right now, this matter is finally developing according to their assumptions.

In the blink of an eye, it was the winter solstice three days later.

Although the imperial palace of the Northern Qi Dynasty is not as gorgeous and magnificent as the Eastern Xia, it is also a pattern of symmetrical central axis, left temple and right society, and front and back hall. The banquet is arranged in the Guangyang Palace, the Guangyang Hall is located in the middle of the front court and the apse, less solemn and solemn of the front hall, because it is close to the apse, the surrounding trees and flowers are planted, and the taste of some mythical Qionggong immortals is seen from afar.

The ministers were led by the chamberlain to the Guangyang Palace, and the ladies were led by the palace people to the Yongfu Hall to receive the banquet after entering the palace. In the past, it was Empress Wei who presided over the palace banquet, but this year, Empress Wei still took the lead, but the auxiliary was replaced by Concubine Jiang Mingyi.

Although the first emperor left many children during his lifetime, there was very little left in a struggle for the throne.

The high-ranking princesses such as the princess of the protector and the princess Zhenning are no longer alive, and the princesses under Yan Zhengtian's knees are still young, but fortunately, there are still several princesses of the clan and the county lord to fill the façade.

The princess of the old Jin Dynasty is gone, and the high-ranking princesses are Princess Ding, Princess Kang, and Princess Wen Jin, they are the same generation as the first emperor, and Queen Wei will give three points of courtesy when she sees them.

And the county lord of Yongfu, although the county lord of Yongjia is the same generation as Princess Ding and Princess Kang, but she must already be a married daughter, and she is not a descendant, so this identity is a little shorter. In addition, the turmoil in the palace these days, they had no intention of getting involved in this turmoil, so after meeting Empress Wei, they each found their own place and sat down.

As for the noble ladies, they sat in turn. Non-three-grade edicts are not eligible to go to the banquet, but the three grades are the last, and the top is still the second grade, the first grade, the first grade, plus the princesses and county lords next to the royal family, although they are low-grade, they must be people of the heavenly family, and the seats are naturally ranked in front.

Empress Wei glanced at the people in the hall lightly, leaned slightly, frowned and looked at Concubine Li, "Why don't you see the old lady?" ”

The old lady she said naturally refers to Jiang Mingyi's biological mother, the old lady who waits for the elderly.

Jiang Mingyi stepped forward with a smile, and after giving a light salute, she said softly: "Niangniang forgives me, my mother was unwell a month ago, and she couldn't even get out of bed for the past two days. ”

Empress Wei raised her eyebrows and looked at Wei Xiu behind Jiang Mingyi.

Wei Xiu nodded invisibly, indicating that what Jiang Mingyi said was true.

"Okay, that's it, you go and get busy, go back to the palace and let people enjoy the palace banquet and send it to the palace." Empress Wei said lightly.

Jiang Mingyi hurriedly saluted and thanked him.

And at this moment, Empress Wei saw her biological mother Xu, who was being led towards her by the palace people, she waved her hand to signal Jiang Mingyi to retreat, and she took a few steps and quickly stepped forward towards Xu.

"The concubine has seen the queen's mother." There was still a distance of three steps, and Xu Shi walked to salute.

Although she is the mother of Queen Wei, there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, and now Queen Wei is the king, she is a minister, but this ceremony must be done.

Empress Wei smiled and stepped forward to help Xu with her own hands, and said softly: "Mother is exempt." ”

Xu stood up with Empress Wei's hand, looked Empress Wei up and down, leaned slightly, frowned and said worriedly: "Niangniang, why do you seem to have lost a lot of weight, and your spirit is not very good?" ”

Empress Wei raised her hand and touched her round face, and said with a smile: "Where, it's been cold recently, and I've eaten a bowl of rice in this palace more than usual, how can I still lose weight?" ”

Xu wanted to say a few more words, but Princess Ding on the side walked over with a smile, "Old lady, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you okay?" ”

Empress Wei took the opportunity to introduce the Xu family to Princess Ding, and at the end, she said softly: "There is still some time to leave the banquet, the princess and the old lady might as well go to the side hall to sit down, there is a fire dragon burning over there, not as cold as here." ”

The place where they are now is the main hall, a place used for banquets, although there are a few braziers in the corner, but the wind blows in, it is still cold and refreshing.

Princess Ding is the same age as the Xu family, and when she was not out of the cabinet, the two also had some friendship, at this moment, except for Princess Ding looking at the entire hall, no one is really qualified to come up and make friends with the Xu family.

Xu also knew that on such a day, as the queen's daughter, there were many things to be busy with, so she followed Princess Ding with kindness and was sent to the side hall where the earth dragon was burning and warm by Queen Wei.

In this room, Empress Wei's gaze swept over many internal women, the wives of the left and right phases, the wives of the six Shangshu, and the duchess and Mrs. Hou who were sealed when the first emperor was alive. That is, tonight, the heads of the entire Linhuang Mansion Honor Circle were encircled in the Guangyang Hall and the Yongfu Palace.

The corners of Empress Wei's lips provoked a barely visible smile, and she smiled and groaned with the women who came to greet her.

……

At this time, in the Guangyang Hall of the previous dynasty, the ministers who participated in the banquet gathered in groups, talked in a low voice from time to time, and looked up a few times from time to time, saying that the emperor was sick and had not been to the court for several days. Today's winter solstice banquet, I don't know, can I see you in person!

Yan Li stood in the crowd, not as lively as the other groups of three or five, there were only a few noble ministers on his side, even these noble ministers also excluded him intentionally or unintentionally, inexplicably, his tall and prosperous figure revealed a sense of posthumous and independent.

Fortunately, he has been quiet, and even in the midst of such a boiling crowd, he is still at ease, and he is not restless about his isolation.

When Tong Xi came out, he saw Yan Li in purple clothes at a glance, he raised his eyebrows, thinking about what was going to happen, and subconsciously took a few steps forward, "Lord Protector, why are you sitting here?" Your Majesty, his old man is looking for you! ”

Protector?

The people around him seemed to be quiet, and they didn't understand how Yan Li became the protector of the country.

Yan Li raised his eyebrows lightly, and looked at Tong Xi with an indifferent expression.

Tong Xi saw that Yan couldn't make a sound, so he had to lower his posture a little more, and said softly: "Protector, you should go with the slaves, otherwise the emperor will blame him, and the little one can't afford it." ”

Yan Li snorted coldly, and then followed Tong Xi inside.

After Yan Li left, the quiet hall suddenly became lively again, and everyone was talking about Yan Li, an upstart.

"Protector! Since the founding of the Northern Qi Dynasty, how could there have been a prince with a new year and a weak crown? The emperor's favor is really enviable! ”

And when Yan Li was led by Tong Xi to the inner hall, Yan Zhengtian was already sitting on the side of Yan Zhengtian in the inner hall, and there were already King Ding, King Kang, King Lao Jin, King Wen Jin and others.

"Coming?" When Yan Zhengtian saw Yan Li coming in, he raised his hand and motioned for Yan Li to sit down in the empty chair on the side of the hall, and said, "I asked Tong Xi to come to you, because I want to discuss something with you." ”

Yan Li glanced at the people in the room, and finally looked at Yan Zhengtian's gaze, was silent, and said softly: "The ministers are only the emperor on the horse." ”

Yan Zhengtian narrowed his eyes when he looked at Yan Li, leaned slightly, and nodded with a smile, "Sit down and talk." ”

Because Yan Li came a little late, the position next to Yan Zhengtian had already been taken by several princes, and his position was a little behind. When he sat down, he found that Huo Ran, who was sitting opposite, was King Wen Jin. And this King Wen Jin was whispering something to the old King Jin, and in response to Shang Yanli's gaze, he raised the corners of his lips, and a smile similar to nothing appeared between his eyebrows.

Yan Zhengtian glanced around at everyone present, and after a moment of silence, he raised his head and said to the old King of Jin: "Uncle Wang, this is the way it is, even if I don't abolish the queen, I can kill a prince like my brother, and I can't pass the throne to him no matter what!" ”

As soon as these words came out, several princes present showed a subtle look on their faces.

You know, didn't he Yan Zhengtian also rely on overthrowing many imperial brothers that day to sit in this position under him? Now putting on such a righteous and awe-inspiring face, it is really ......

The old Jin King was silent for a while, and said softly: "However, the emperor now has only two princes and one son under his knees, and if the emperor does not appoint the second prince as the prince, who will appoint?" ”

Yan Zhengtian snorted lightly and said angrily: "I am only in the year of confusion now, and the prince will definitely have another prince in the future." ”

The old king of Jin wanted to say something more, but he felt that his sleeves were tightened, and he lowered his eyes to see that a slender hand with white bones was slowly retracted, and he raised his eyes and looked at his son at his side in confusion.

King Wen Jin smiled and said loudly: "What the emperor said is very true, and the ministers have no objections. ”

The old Jin King's white brows frowned, obviously, he did not approve of the words of the King Wen Jin, but for this son who was regarded as his successor, the old Jin King was a little more tolerant. Therefore, although he did not approve of it, he did not raise doubts on the spot. King Ding and King Kang have always been the only ones who are the kings of the old Jin Dynasty, and after waiting, they saw that the old Jin king did not squeak, and they should even follow the sound of the voice.

Yan Zhengtian looked at Yan Li again, "Protector, what do you say?" ”

Yan Li's eyelids drooped slightly, and he said softly: "The minister has no objection." ”

"That's good." Yan Zhengtian made a final decision, "Originally, I wanted to raise this matter at the court meeting, but in the past few days, I have been unwell in the past few days, so I have avoided the early court, so I decided this matter during today's banquet." ”

Before the banquet began, there was a grand fireworks.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared a batch of exquisite and gorgeous fireworks as early as a month ago, and at this time of year, the people of the entire Linhuang Mansion will run to the imperial city to watch the fireworks, and this year is no exception.

The guards guarding the palace gate have already guarded the imperial city with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and they are afraid that someone will take advantage of this time to fish in troubled waters and sneak into the palace.

Everything was arranged, Tong Xi got the reward of the palace people, and walked in from outside, "Your Majesty, it's time to release flowers, please move the stargazing platform." ”

Yan Zhengtian glanced at everyone in the hall, motioned for Tong Xi to step forward to help him get up, and the group went to the stargazing platform, the highest building in the palace.

A quarter of an hour later, a prosperous fireworks lit up half of Linhuang Mansion.

Just when the ministers were excited and indulged in this beautiful fireworks, the guards outside the Xihua Gate of the Imperial City, which were originally orderly patrolling, suddenly appeared in a lot of commotion. Today's commander of the Imperial Forest Guard who is in charge of patrolling the Xihua Gate is Guo Zhen, the son of Guo Ying, who is waiting for Wuding.

Seeing the two guards who were getting more and more noisy in the team, thinking about what day it was, he couldn't help but feel on fire in his heart, he strode forward and pointed at the two of them and shouted: "I don't want to keep this head for New Year's dinner, do you?" ”

The two of them first glared at each other with red faces and angry eyes, and when Guo Zhen walked up to him, the sheathed knife in his hand knocked the two of them unceremoniously, then they reined in, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "The subordinates are rude, please punish the adults." ”

Saying that, the two bowed to Guo Zhen, Guo Zhen's face looked better, and he wanted to say that the two of them should pay attention, and the two who didn't want to bow took a step forward, one of them choked his neck, and the other of them stabbed him in the chest with a cold light.

Guo Zhen was stunned for a while, until there was a pain in his chest that turned over the river and the sea, and he came to his senses, but it was too late, the two of them had already covered his mouth one and the other hurriedly walked to the shadow of the city gate with his feet on his feet. The guards behind the two ignored all this.

At the same time, on the top of the imperial city, after several thunderous sounds, another round of new fireworks dispersed.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw a sky-high fire lighting up in the direction of the Yongfu Temple.

When Yan Zhengtian, who was surrounded by the ministers and standing on the stargazing platform, saw this light, he wanted to open his mouth to ask someone, but the ministers were already in an uproar like boiling water.

"Oh no, Guangyang Hall is on fire."

In the Guangyang Palace, including the queen mother, almost all the noblewomen of the Northern Qi Dynasty were included, and if something happened to these people, the consequences would be unimaginable. Yan Zhengtian furrowed his brows.

He hoped that this fire would burn Empress Wei to ashes, but ...... Eyes met the faces of the ministers who were anxiously looking towards the Guangyang Palace, paused, and turned sideways to Tong Xi and ordered: "Send someone to see, what's going on!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister's mother is in Guangyang Palace, please take someone there." King Ding's son, Zhuang Dingwang Yanrong, clasped his fists and stepped forward to salute.

As soon as Yan Rong stood up, he hula and more than a dozen young sons, either the sons of the Guogong Mansion or the princes of the Houfu, were all concerned about the safety of the grandmother of the Guangyang Palace at this time. During this period, there is no deep relationship between husband and wife, or waiting for the grandfather.

In this way, it seemed that Yan Zhengtian had little affection for Empress Wei, Yan Zhengtian wrinkled his brows, and glanced coldly, the black crow was standing in front of a row of people, waved his hand, and said loudly: "My queen is also in Guangyang Palace, and I will go with all my ministers." ”

"Your Majesty, you are the body of ten thousand people, you can't easily get into danger, please think twice."

Several princes led by the old Jin King stepped forward to dissuade them.

Yan Zhengtian thought that if this fire could burn Wei Jingfen's slut to death, it would be happy, and he would save himself from abandoning so many thoughts! Even if she doesn't die, take advantage of this opportunity...... In Yan Zhengtian's eyes, a faint glow flashed away, and he gave a look to Tong Xi who was waiting beside him, Tong Xi stiffened, leaned slightly, nodded, and quietly retreated.

But here, Yan Zhengtian ignored the opposition of the ministers, strode down the stargazing platform, and walked in the direction of the Yongfu Palace.

However, when he led everyone to the front, he found that it was not the Yongfu Hall that caught fire, but the middle room hall that was still some distance from the Yongfu Palace. Seeing this result, everyone couldn't help but let out a long sigh, but Yan Zhengtian wrinkled his brows, and looked at the Yongfu Hall in the distance with unfathomable eyes.

Right here, a heavy sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, and the sound of uniform steps was heard by the Imperial Forest Army.

And when Yan Zhengtian saw the visitor, he couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Who are you, why haven't I seen you?" What about Guo Zhen, why wasn't he on duty? ”

At this moment, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army is not the previous commander Guo Zhen, but the deputy commander Wu Guoxing, who is the son of Wu Liang, the commander of the Jingwei. Wu Guoxing was not surprised by Shangyan Zhengtian's question, but smiled slightly, stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Go back to the emperor."

The minister was the deputy commander Wu Guoxing, and the commander Guo caused him to have an accident. ”

Yan Zhengtian's pupils tightened, and he glared at Wu Guoxing, "What happened to him?" ”

What answered him was Wu Guoxing, who suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, and stabbed straight at Yan Zhengtian like a sword of spring water, and replied at the same time in his mouth: "He's dead!" ”

"Father, be careful!"

At the last moment, a figure jumped forward like a rabbit and blocked Yan Zhengtian.

Yan Ke stood in front of Yan Zhengtian, glared at Wu Guoxing angrily, and reprimanded angrily: "Traitor, you dare to kill the king!" ”

Yan Ke's sudden appearance made everyone present stunned.

Whether it was watching the fireworks from the stargazing platform before or rushing to the Yongfu Hall just now, everyone never saw him, who would have thought that at this critical time, it was Yan Ke who reacted quickly and blocked Yan Zhengtian.

Yan Zhengtian didn't seem to expect it, he looked at Yan Ke in a daze, and shouted, "Ke'er......"

However, just when everyone thought that Yan Ke was rushing to the rescue, no one thought that Yan Ke suddenly turned around and buckled Yan Zhengtian, who was standing on the ground, and with a successful blow, his wide sleeves shook, and the next moment a cold sword was against Yan Zhengtian's neck.

Things changed so quickly that Yan Zhengtian forgot to react, if it weren't for the exclamations of the ministers, he was afraid that he would not have been able to sober up for a while.

"Your Highness, don't be rude to the emperor!"

Right Xiangfang Xianming hurriedly stepped forward, looked at Yan Ke with an anxious face, and his eyes trembled and fell on the sword in Yan Ke's hand!

Yan Zhengtian, who came to his senses, suddenly blushed, and he shouted angrily: "Yan Ke, do you want to kill your father?" ”

"Hahaha......" Yan Ke let out a long laugh, the laughter stopped, his delicate and handsome face was full of anger, glared at Yan Zhengtian, and asked angrily: "Kill your father?" Father, do you know that I am your son? Do you also think you are my father? In that case, why can't you tolerate your sons! Isn't your son your son? ”

Although Yan Ke's words were overwhelming, the meaning was clearly expressed.

Although Yan Zhengtian didn't care about Yan Ke, he must have been the son he had grown up with his own eyes, but now he was forced by him to ask how he became a father, and he was so angry that he couldn't even breathe in an instant. He glared at Yan Ke angrily, "Rebel, what kind of attitude do you have?" ”

"Attitude?" Yan Ke's voice was as cold as ice slag, he glared at Yan Zhengtian, and said angrily: "Haven't you heard of the father, if the father is not the father, the son is not the son." Why should I recognize you as a father if you do not recognize me as a son? ”

As soon as Yan Ke's words came out, everyone, including Yan Zhengtian, understood that Yan Ke was trying to force the palace!

"Second prince," King Wen Jin walked out of the crowd and said softly: "Second prince No matter what, you and the emperor are real father and son, and please don't hurt the affection of father and son for a momentary misunderstanding and anger." ”

Yan Ke glanced at the elegant eyebrows of King Wen Jin, and said politely: "Uncle Wang, you are also a father, let your nephew ask you, will you force the son you don't like to die for the son you love?" It's not that I don't want to be filial, but everyone finally came to this world once, and there is no reason to die easily, and I ask Uncle Wang to have mercy on his nephew. ”

The crowd looked at each other.

Yan Ke obviously knows some things, if he doesn't make it clear, even if he can succeed today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to block the mouth of the world. So, after a meal, he said with a gloomy face: "My father has always loved the eldest brother, this is nothing, the ten fingers are still long and short, I like one more point, I don't like one more point, what does it matter?" However, father, you shouldn't know that the eldest emperor's brother was killed by Concubine Shu, but you still want to plant his death on your son, how innocent is your son, how can a good person bear the name of killing his brother? Father, do you know that once such a heinous crime is confirmed, the sons and daughters will be left behind for thousands of years, how can you bear it? Is Erchen really your child? Why do you hate your sons so much? You might as well kill your retainer with a knife, and have a good time! ”

The matter of Concubine Shu killing three princes in a row has already spread throughout the imperial city through the arrangement of Queen Wei, who doesn't know about the adults present? And Yan Zhengtian wanted to come forward to testify against Yan Ke's killing of his brother, but he knew about it on a small scale. At this moment, everyone listened to Yan Ke's testimony, and it was simply ...... for a while Words can't describe the mood at the moment.

As Yan Ke said, the ten fingers are long and short, and it is understandable to have a preference, but they are all reading sage books, and no one can kill those who don't love because of this preference, right? It's also too ...... A word came to everyone's mind for a moment.

"Tiger poison doesn't eat children, father!" Yan Ke's cry of pain shouted out what everyone thought in their hearts.

Yan Zhengtian's face was as wonderful as opening a dye room, he was planning how to step Yan Ke into the dust, who would have thought that he would be beaten into the mud at this moment!

"Who means?" Yan Zhengtian sank his eyebrows, and said in a cold voice: "Even if you kidnap me, you don't dare to take the name of killing the king, right?" What do you want? Where's your mother? What about your grandfather? Call them out. ”

Yan Ke smiled, he raised his eyes, swept the ministers in the field with earthy faces, was silent, and said softly: "My father is right, this name of killing my father is a last resort, and my sons are unwilling to bear it." ”

In other words, if necessary, he will still bear it!

Yan Zhengtian frowned, his eyes swept over the courtiers who were looking at each other in the field, and said in a cold voice: "Rebel, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are looking at it at this moment, even if I die, do you think you can sit firmly on the dragon throne?" ”

Yan Zhengtian's words obviously hit the most humble place in Yan Ke's heart. Today, although the Manchu Dynasty has surrounded the civil and military capitals, it is impossible for him to kill all these people. His purpose is the throne, not a bare-bones commander without courtiers!

But......

Yan Ke smiled, his eyes fell on the faces of several courtiers who concealed their loyalty, and said in a cold voice: "Father, you seem to have forgotten that your lords' inner relatives are still in the Yongfu Hall at the moment, and the eldest son of your lordship's mansion is also here, do you really want to pay for the lives of your wife and children for such a faint king?" ”

As if to confirm Yan Ke's words, at this time, Empress Wei's right-hand man, Wei Xiu, came from the Yongfu Palace, came to the front, bent his knees, and said: "Your Highness, Niangniang asked the slave maid to come and talk to His Highness, everything is under control." ”

"There's Aunt Law." Yan Ke said loudly.

Wei Xiulian said that he didn't dare, raised his head and glanced at the courtiers who were silent, smiled, and said softly: "My lords, my mother said that she and His Royal Highness just want to make a living, reasoning, His Royal Highness not only occupies the heir but also the longest, and it is very reasonable for him to inherit the throne." Please think twice before you act! ”

The fire in front of them continued, and everyone had no doubt that if she went against her fate, Empress Wei would burn those inner women in Guangyang Hall alive!

"Lady Cui." Yan Ke looked at Cui Jinyan in the crowd.

Cui Jinyan is well-known for his husband and wife, and it is no wonder that Yan Ke named him.

Cui Jinyan, who was named, stepped forward, saluted Yan Ke, and looked up at Yan Zhengtian, "Your Majesty, the minister is only loyal to the imperial power in his life, if you are generous to righteousness, the minister and his humble wife should follow, and ask the emperor to give the minister a sign." ”

Yan Ke didn't seem to expect Cui Jinyan to say this, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

And Yan Zhengtian, who was named by Cui Jinyan, was so angry that his teeth hurt, of course he didn't want to die, he was the emperor, but Cui Jinyan told him that if he couldn't die generously, then he could only disarm and surrender!

"Lord Cui's words are wrong!" Chen Tingyuan, the old imperial historian of the Imperial History Tower, who is known as loyal and upright, stood up and shouted angrily with righteousness and solemnity: "The emperor is the king, we are the ministers, there is a way for the king to want the ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, how can they ......?"

Before Chen Tingyuan's words fell, a cold light suddenly shot out.

At this time, King Wen Jin, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but shout loudly: "Lord Chen beware!" ”

But it was too late, the arrow went straight through Chen Tingyuan's throat, and after falling to the ground and convulsing, Chen Tingyuan stretched out his feet and died!

"Who else wants to try it?" Yan Ke asked with a frosty face.

The pungent smell of blood slowly diffuses, who wants to try it?

There is only one life, this is the dispute between the father and son of the heavenly family, how innocent are they to be involved in the period?

Seeing that no one made a sound, Yan Ke was about to speak, but he didn't want to, but a voice sounded at this time.

"I'd like to try it again."

Yan Ke looked up violently, and saw Yan Li walking out slowly, looking at him with cold eyes, and said: "You want to be the emperor, it's understandable, but you shouldn't kill innocents!" ”

Yan Zhengtian would never have thought that it would be Yan Li who would stand up at this time.

He couldn't help but look at Yan Li with mixed feelings.

And at the moment when Yan Ke was leaving Yan Li, he had new hatred and old hatred in his heart, and he said angrily at the moment: "Okay, I will fulfill you!" ”

When the words fell, he waved his big hand, and suddenly arrows shot at Yanli from all directions like a rain of locusts.

Yan Li unhurriedly pulled out the soft sword in his waist, and in an impermeable cold light, the arrows fell to the ground one after another.

Seeing this, Wu Guoxing, who was on the side, couldn't help but shout urgently: "Your Highness, if you don't do it, it's going to be too late!" ”

"Kill!"

With a cold snort, the next moment, I saw countless black shadows rushing out from all directions.

"Father, pass on the decree to your sons, otherwise ......"

Yan Zhengtian snorted coldly, "If you really have that ability, just do it, even if I die, I won't pass this throne to you!" ”

Yan Ke's gentle face suddenly turned hideous, and when the sword in his hand was about to be slashed, a figure rushed out like lightning, and before he could react, Yan Zhengtian had already been snatched from him.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Yan Zhengtian looked at Cui Jinyan, who rescued him from Yan Ke's hands, and didn't know what to say for a long time!

And Yan Ke, who lost Yan Zhengtian as his support, panicked when he was shocked, and immediately shouted: "Kill, kill me all!" ”

Cui Jinyan stuffed Yan Zhengtian among the courtiers of the imperial party, and then turned around and killed him.

And at this time, the Hall of Eternal Blessing.

Empress Wei looked coldly at the women who were ordered to wait in place and not to move around without permission, and shouted: "If this palace wants to embarrass you, whether you are dead or alive, and it depends on how much weight your father's husband has in his heart!" ”

Tang Youde, the son of Qi Guogong, a pair of eagle eyes gloomy scraped over the inner women in the hall who had already frightened the two tremors.

Wei Shili's second son, Wei Changlong, married Tang Miaoying, the eldest daughter of the Qi State Mansion, and the two families were in-laws, and they both prospered and lost.

Tang Youde saw that there was no good news outside for a long time, and couldn't help but whisper to Queen Wei: "Niangniang, why don't you catch two of these people and come out to kill chickens and monkeys?" ”

Empress Wei was silent, she didn't intend to kill, all she wanted was a peaceful inheritance of the throne!

At this moment, there was a sudden shout of killing outside.

Empress Wei Huo Ran looked up at Tang Youde.

"Go out and have a look!"

Tang Youde turned around and wanted to go out, but when he turned around, a woman who was closest to him seemed to be frightened, lowered her eyebrows and fell softly towards him, and when she saw it, she was about to fall on him, Tang Youhe was about to reach out and push it away, but she didn't want to, but the next moment, her chest was cold.

"You ......"

Tang Youde raised his head incredulously, buried his head in the person in his arms, and slowly raised his head. Tang Youde's last expression in this world was an unbelievable amazement and despair.

"Friendly ......"

Empress Wei, who was shocked to realize that something was wrong, spoke up.

Rong Jin gently pushed the dagger in his hand with Tang Youde's heavy body, and then raised his head to face Empress Wei's stunned face, and smiled, "Queen Mother!" ”

"Rong Jin!"

It was destined to be a sleepless night, and just when almost everyone thought that the dawn would never come, a red signal flare suddenly burst out in a corner of the palace, and a team of guards suddenly came in and fought with the guards led by Wu Guoxing!

In the history books of the Northern Qi Dynasty, this night is recorded as the 'Winter Solstice Change', and the second son of Emperor Hongzhen launched a palace rebellion because he was unwilling to be forced by Emperor Hongzhen to kill his brother. The son of Wu Liang, the commander of Jingwei, Wu Guoxing killed Guo Zhen, the commander of the envoy, and surrounded the emperor and a cadre of ministers.

Under the leadership of the protector Yan Li, the ministers fought their way out of the siege with flesh and blood, and the second prince committed suicide in defeat. In the Yongfu Palace, after Rong Jin led the guards to protect the women in the inner life to fight out of the encirclement, the Yongfu Hall behind him suddenly burst into flames.

Afterwards, the palace guards pulled out two bodies that hugged each other tightly and burned into charcoal in the fire, some said that it was Queen Wei and Xu's mother and daughter, and some people said that the queen had escaped, and the two were her stand-ins. Subsequently, Emperor Hongzhen, who came out, ordered Cui Jinyan, the secretary of the military department, to lead people to surround the general's mansion, but when Cui Jinyan arrived, the entire general's mansion had become a sea of fire, and Wei Shili's life and death were unknown.

On this night, the entire Linhuang Mansion was in a hurry, and every household closed the door. It was not until dawn that the battlefield of the entire palace ended. At this time, Yan Li's body was full of a strong smell of blood, and at the moment when the sun rose, he and Rong Jin, who had killed the outstanding, converged, and the two left Northern Qi in the dawn of dawn and rushed to Jingshan.

Seven days later, Wei Shili's sons, Wei Changlong, and Wei Xinyu led their private soldiers back to Kyoto, and were killed by Cui Jinyan, who had been prepared, outside the outskirts of Beijing.

In the twenty-eighth year of Hongzhen, in winter, good news came from the palace.

The palace man in Concubine Li's palace, Heling, spread the good news, Yan Zhengtian is about to promote Heling to a beauty, and decrees that if he gets a son in one day, he will be promoted to a concubine immediately! At the same time, the Ministry of Rites planned the draft for the next spring, and the ministers in Beijing tried their best to send their school-age daughters to the palace.

In the winter of the same year, Li Xi, the crown prince of the Eastern Xia Dynasty, ascended the throne as emperor and changed his name to Yongtai.

……

Yan Li and Rong Jin walked through the night wind.

A heavy snowfall made the already muddy and difficult road even more difficult.

Seven days and six nights of sleepless hurry, the jujube red horse under the crotch because of the rain and snow, the hair on the body was wet and frozen, and then melted into water and frozen.

"Jin'er, are you alright?" The moment Yan Li fell to the ground, Yan Li jumped up and landed on Rong Jin's side.

Rong Jin shook his head, looked at Yan Li with eyes that were almost dripping blood because he had not sleeped, and said in a dumb voice: "I'm fine, what should I do, there are still a hundred miles away from Jingshan...... Or, you rush back first, I'll wait for Feng Wei to catch up. ”

At this time, they are in a dense forest called Lion Ridge 100 miles away from Jingshan, looking at the forest from a distance like a lying lion, the ancient trees in the mountains are towering, the terrain is flat, but because of this rare heavy snowfall, it has become a world covered in silver.

Yan Li looked up at the dense forest around him covered with heavy snow, shook his head and said, "You come up, I'll carry you on my back." ”

Rong Jin was silent, with Yan Li's skills, he would definitely be able to rush to Jingshan before dark, but if he was carrying her, he might not be able to arrive, so he immediately shook his head and objected.

Seeing Rong Jin shaking his head, Yan Li couldn't help frowning, and said in a condensed voice: "I won't leave you here alone, come up quickly." ”

Rong Jin was still hesitating, Yan Li was already stretching out his hand, grabbing Rong Jin's hand and shaking it, he put Rong Jin firmly on his back, and the next moment, he had a little foot on his feet, and the whole person rose from the ground, but at this moment, a huge net suddenly came down from the top of his head.

"Be careful!"

Rong Jin let out an exclamation first.

Yan Lizi also noticed this danger at the first time, he turned his backhand, scooped Rong Jin, who was originally lying on his back, into his arms, and hurriedly "hug me", making a thousand catties fall, and the two of them quickly fell to the ground. Just as Yan Li made this change, above the ancient tree, several white-clothed and white-robed figures jumped down from all directions, and they tightly clutched the net in their hands, following Yan Li like maggots attached to the bones.

At the same time, on the originally snow-capped ground, dozens of figures suddenly sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the blades that were reflected in the snow light turned pale pointed at Yan Li and Rong Jin, who were rapidly descending.

It's killing up and down, and they're caught in the middle!

"There's an ambush down there!" Rong Jin shouted in surprise.

Yan Li snorted coldly, freed up one hand to hold Rong Jin's waist, and patted the ground lightly with the other hand. However, at this moment, Yan Li took advantage of the power of the void palm, his body was stunned, and in the next moment, without waiting for the enemy to react, he held Rong Jin like a cannonball, and shot out horizontally.

Rong Jin sighed slightly, he could avoid such an ambush, and next, with Yan Li's skills, it should be no problem to ambush such a group of people. It wasn't that she didn't think about using poison on the group of people who were ambushing below at a high place, but she gave up this idea the moment she sensed the direction of the wind.

"Shoot!"

A dark voice sounded in his ears.

Rong Jincai breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly lifted it, and almost at the same time, a rain of arrows like locusts fell from the top of his head.

Yan Li, who was able to stand firmly, didn't have time to think about it, almost subconsciously, hid Rong Jin behind him, and the short sword in his hand danced an impermeable barrier, blocking all the arrows that were shot.

Rong Jin, who was standing behind Yan Li, his gaze fell fixedly on Sanzhang away, although he had not seen each other for a long time, he was inexplicably familiar with his face.

Liao Bicheng!

The former prince is now Emperor Yongtai's right-hand man!

"Bring me my bow!" Liao Bicheng shouted.

The bow is divided into light bows and heavy bows, and the less than seven catties are light bows, and the more than seven catties are determined by the arm strength and the infinite end is the heavy bow.

Liao Bicheng's words fell, and Rong Jin saw two guards, one carrying a fine bow made of dark iron, and one holding a white feather arrow in his hand, Liao Bicheng took the bow with one hand, and the arrow with the other, pulled the string and set the arrow, and aimed straight at Yan Li in front of him.

"Yan Li, be careful!" Rong Jin saw Liao Bicheng's movements, and he had to remind him out loud.

However, before her words fell, Liao Bicheng's fingers loosened, and the cold and shining arrows came with the momentum of breaking through the air, and its momentum was not inferior to the heavy crossbow in the army!

Rong Jin was frightened, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, she rushed out from behind Yan Li almost without thinking, trying to block Liao Bicheng's killing arrow for Yan Li.

"Jin'er!"

Yan Li let out a heart-rending exclamation, his hand stagnated, and he pounced forward.

The corners of Liao Bicheng's lips curled up with a smug smile.

"Whew!"

In the silent woods, a barely audible sound sounded, and then, a cloud of snow white like a meteor suddenly pierced the sky, and it was facing Liao Bicheng's arrow with all his strength.

There was a "snap", and a cracking sound sounded.

Rong Jin, who was thrown to the ground by Yan Li, saw a cloud of snowflakes falling from the sky.

In other words, a snowball broke Liao Bicheng's inevitable blow!

Who is it?

Who has such an ability?

Rong Jin was still puzzled, and Yan Li's nervous and anxious voice sounded in his ears, "Jin'er, are you okay?" ”

Rong Jin shook his head, "I'm fine, Yan Li, someone is here to help us!" ”

After Yan Li made sure that Rong Jin was fine, he put his mind on the things around him.

He held Rong Jin tightly in his arms and looked up.

A light red came slowly from far and near in the snowy field, and the dazzling red fell on the endless white, like a red plum blossoming thousands of miles away.

Yan Li furrowed his brows, and a thought unexpectedly arose from the bottom of his heart.

Liao Bicheng on one side was also stunned by this scene.

The power of the arrow he shot was unknown to others, but he knew it all too well, but a snowball in his hand blocked the arrow that had accumulated all his strength.

This person, who is he?

Liao Bicheng narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at the gradually clear figure.

"Master, have you killed all these people?"

A childish child's voice sounded.

Hearing this child's voice, Rong Jinmeng lost his voice and said: "Like snow? ”

Yan Li nodded and helped Rong Jin to stand up.

At a glance, Rong Jin saw that he was still wearing a big red wide sleeve, and his face was handsome, like a blue jade that was almost demonic by the magic axe. On Lan Yu's side, there was a body as black as heavy ink as snow.

Last time in Northern Qi, Ruxue still learned from his master to wear a red light shirt, see you today, the little girl took off the red and replaced this black like midnight, a snow-white and delicate face is more and more called crystal clear, like a jade carving!

Hearing Rong Jin's voice, Ruxue raised her face from Lan Yu's side and looked at Rong Jin, "Sister, are you okay?" ”

Rong Jin shook her head, glanced at Ruxue, looked up at Lan Yu, who was graceful and dignified beside her, and asked softly, "Why are you here?" ”

Lan Yu didn't answer Rong Jin's words, but looked at Yan Li lightly, wrinkled her brows, and said in a cold voice: "You lost her face!" ”

Belch!

Rong Jin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat like a waterfall.

Yan Li's indifferent face raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes met Lan Yu like a blade.

"I'm not wrong!" Lan Yu's eyes were slightly raised, crossed Yan Li, and landed on the snowy forest behind him, as if she wanted to see through the snow forest to see through the grass and trees of Jingshan, "What she has planned in her life is just a place to hide in the world, and what she wants in her life is just that you can be safe and smooth, but what about you?" What have you done? ”

Yan Li was silent.

Lan Yu's accusation, he couldn't refute it.

Seeing that Yan Li was silent, Lan Yu took a deep look at him, and finally glanced at Liao Bicheng, who was ready to attack like a poisonous snake.

The moment Liao Bicheng appeared, he knew that this trip would not be completed smoothly, but ......

"Cut yourself!"

Lan Yu's faint voice rang in his ears.

Liao Bicheng opened his mouth wide and looked at Lan Yu with an indifferent expression in astonishment.

He knew that the person in front of him was a rare and powerful enemy that he would encounter in his life, in other words, he would not engage in a surprise attack and let him fight with Yan Li alone, and he did not think that he was sure of victory. But even so, he would never think that he would choose the path of surrender without a fight!

Therefore, after being stunned, Liao Bicheng subconsciously "sneered" and laughed.

"Self-cut?"

"How?" Lan Yu furrowed her brows, "Unwilling?" ”

Liao Bicheng snorted coldly, a touch of ridicule bloomed on Fang Zheng's face, he coldly met Lan Yu's sad and joyless eyes, the hand hanging by his side slowly raised, and then quickly waved forward.

With a vigorous wave of Liao Bicheng's hand, Rong Jin saw the dozens of figures that had been ambushed on the ground before, threw away the weapons in their hands with a brush, and quickly formed a circle and surrounded them.

This is......

Rong Jin looked at Yan Li.

Yan Li shook her head, signaling that she didn't need to be in a hurry, so she didn't have to respond to all changes.

And sure enough, when those people narrowed the encirclement to a distance of one zhang, they suddenly raised their hands and took off the white cloak on their bodies, and looked at Rong Jin, Yan Li, Lan Yu and Ruxue in the circle like stagnant water.

"Gunpowder!"

An exclamation arose.

Rong Jin held Yan Li's hand tightly, and looked at the guards who had taken off their cloaks and were full of gunpowder with a horrified face.

Although the gunpowder of this era is far from reaching the level of later generations, how can the human flesh bomb composed of dozens of people be underestimated, just afraid that it will not be a problem to blow up this small Lion Ridge!

"Not bad, gunpowder!" Liao Bicheng took Rong Jin's words, smiled coldly and said: "Not only is it carrying gunpowder, but the land under your feet is also buried with gunpowder, which is enough to raze this mountain to the ground!" After a pause, he raised his head and looked at Lan Yu with a stubborn gaze, "Now, are you still going to ask me to cut myself?" ”

Lan Yu's eyebrows were lightly raised, and she sighed secretly in her heart.

This catastrophe of life and death, he didn't calculate, but when he did, he couldn't help but come!

"Master."

The sound of soft and glutinous snow sounded in my ears.

Lan Yu lowered her eyes, looked at the little man beside her, a shallow smile hooked up at the corner of her lips, and said softly: "What to do, Ruxue, Master is afraid that he won't be able to wait for you to grow up!" ”

The little man, with a lovely face of Yuxue, and two thin brows furrowed tightly, "Master, you said that I have a relationship with you for three lifetimes!" ”

The implication is quite some, it doesn't matter if you can't wait for me to grow up, it's a big deal, I'll die with you, anyway, in the next life, we still have a fate!

Lan Yu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, he raised his hand and gently stroked Ruxue's pair of eyes as pure as the water of the heavenly pool, silly boy, the master's third fate has already been promised to others, you and I have a master-apprentice relationship in this life!

"Rong Jin, take care of her!"

Before the words fell, Ruxue didn't have time to protest and sent out with a palm wind.

Rong Jin almost subconsciously reached out to catch the snow that was rushing towards her in mid-air.

"Master......" Ruxue exclaimed and turned back to look at Lan Yu.

There was a loud "boom", drowning out her master.

Snowflakes poured down overhead with crumbling ridges of ice, shaking the ground beneath their feet like an earthquake.

"Yan Li!"

Rong Jin hugged Ruxue with one hand, and grabbed Yan Li standing in front of him with the other.

Yan Li tightly protected the two of them in his arms, and wanted to take the two of them out of this place, but when the earth shook and the mountains shook, those hundred-year-old giant trees made a tragic sound like monsters, and countless broken branches and leaves fell down on their heads and faces.

"Hahaha......"

Liao Bicheng's rampant laughter suddenly sounded.

Rong Jin was escorted by Yan Li and retreated to a flat and open flat land, and when he saw this movement clearly, it was not caused by the gunpowder ignited by the dozens of surrounding dead soldiers, nor was it caused by Liao Bicheng, when the gunpowder buried in the ground was ignited, he couldn't help frowning, and said in a trembling voice: "Yan Li, it's Jingshan!" ”

Yan Li naturally thought of it.

Since Liao Bicheng can set up an ambush here to use explosives, why can't Liu Nianxia use explosives in Jingshan?

In an instant, Yan Li's eyebrows sank like the cloudy sky at this moment.

He finally understood Lan Yu's words.

The retreat that his mother had built for him with all his life's work was cut to ashes under his carelessness! In the coming day, what face will he have to meet his mother underground?

Li Xi, you are really ruthless enough.

"Do it, kill them!"

Liao Bicheng's roar pierced through the sky.

Yan Li suddenly came back to his senses in a daze, and he didn't think much about it in a hurry, he turned around and wanted to pounce on those gunpowder dead soldiers, but at this moment, a dazzling red jumped up like a frightening leap, and with the red jump, a dazzling glowing light with a slight blue-gold light spread around in an arc along the angry red.

"Master!"

The mournful cry of snow resounded in the sky.

At the last moment, the blue jade in mid-air suddenly turned around, and a smile flashed between the delicate eyebrows and eyes, and the wide wide sleeves swung with the trend, and Rong Jin, who was standing in a daze holding the snow, was lifted up by a force that coerced the sky, and floated away into the distance like a falling feather.

"Master......"

Ruxue struggled in Rong Jin's arms, trying to pounce on Lan Yu in the distance.

"Let's go!"

Three points of laziness and seven points of indifference sounded.

Yan Li was about to say "no", but the same domineering wind swept over, and almost at the same time as the wind swept over, the ground under his feet shook one by one, and black soil mixed with white snowflakes came towards him like a river and a sea.

Yan Li, who was lifted into the air, fell on Rong Jin and Ruxue, who were sent dozens of zhang away, he gritted his teeth, and finally looked at the blurred hellish forest under him, and with a light touch on his toes, he chased after Rong Jin like a rainbow.

I want to run!

Liao Bicheng, who had been tightly locked on Yan Li, was about to jump up, a lapis light flashed in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand where the blue-gold came from, and the next moment, a very light and shallow "snort" sounded in his ears, as if the inflatable ball had been cut, and then, a bright red bloomed in front of him, he lowered his head to look, but found that the world was upside down, and the body in front of him that was hissing and steaming at the neck without a head seemed to be very familiar.

When a disgusting smell of decay filled his nasal cavity, and when the broken giant tree came down, Liao Bicheng suddenly realized that the headless body was his!

"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"

Rong Jin tightly pressed Ruxue, who was like a little beast, with teeth and claws on his chest, "Ruxue, don't look, be obedient, don't look." ”

"Master...... Master......"

Ruxue opened her mouth and bit Rong Jin's hand fiercely, using all her strength, she couldn't bite off a piece of Rong Jin's meat.

Obviously, it should hurt his heart and lungs, but Rong Jin didn't feel the slightest pain.

She never let go of her hand holding Ruxue, and on her haggard face, two lines of tears slowly slipped down.

In front of her, Yan Li stood in a desperate landscape.

"Master......"

Ruxue choked and let go of Rong Jin's hand, closed her eyes, and fell down softly.

Rong Jin hugged Ruxue with his hand, and walked towards Yan Li in front of him.

"Yan Li, we have to rush back to Jingshan."

Yan Li didn't move, his eyes still suspicious of the dusty woods.

"Yan Li!" Rong Jin's gaze fell on the ground beside Yan Li, and bright red blood bloomed on the white snow, shocking, "Yan Li, where are you injured?" ”

Rong Jin panicked and wanted to check Yan Li's body, but she couldn't move because she was holding Ruxue in her arms, so she could only look up at Yan Li nervously.

"I'm fine." Yan Li said in a dumb voice.

Rong Jin shook his head, if it's okay, what about the snow on the ground?

At this time, Yan Li had already turned around and walked over to her, stretched out his hands to pick up Ruxue in her arms, and Rong Jin realized that a piece of meat had been cut off from his palm. The blood on the snow she saw before must have been from the wound on her palm!

Rong Jin was silent for a moment and handed Ruxue into Yan Li's arms.

"It's me who is useless!" Yan Li's voice of self-blame sounded above his head, "I can't protect you, I can't protect Jingshan, I ......"

"Yan Li!" Rong Jin sharply interrupted Yan Li's words, "Now is not the time to blame yourself, we don't know what happened in Jingshan." We want to rush back to Jingshan as soon as possible! ”

Yan Li nodded, put Ruxue on his back, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go." ”

Rong Jin nodded.

Half an hour later.

"Bastard!"

Rong Jin looked at the Jingshan City Gate, which was devastated by gunpowder, and gritted his teeth and cursed.

Yan Li's gaze fell on those people who were outside the city gate, moved the ladder and tried to wade across the moat and forcibly attack Jingshan.

These men looked like well-trained soldiers, but they were dressed in the coarse cloth clothes of civilians. These people were shouting and going one after another, and they did not hesitate to step on the corpses of their companions and approach the city gate.

Looking at the city gate again, Qingyu and Aunt Lan are fighting hard with Feng Wei who stayed in Jingshan, but there are not many Feng Wei, Yan Li followed a part to Northern Qi, and Yeli took another one to the Dongxia Imperial City, and the people who stayed at this moment were one in a million, but in the face of the enemy's flow of people, they were obviously a little powerless!

"Why don't you see Linlang?" Rong Jin asked softly.

"Linlang should go to the Gaoshui River in the back mountain, and you can also arch the bridge over there to cross the river and go up the mountain." Yan Li said in a deep voice.

Rong Jin nodded, looked at Yan Li, and asked, "Are we going to kill it?" ”

Yan Li shook his head.

Rong Jin couldn't help frowning, and persuaded softly: "Now is the best opportunity to attack inside and outside, it's too late, once they break the city, we are only afraid of ......"

"You take Ruxue to find a place to hide, and I'll kill it." Yan Li interrupted Rong Jin's words and said.

Rong Jin Huoran raised his head, "No!" ”

"Obedient," Yan Li raised his hand to comb the messy hair on Rong Jin's head, and said softly: "Your close kung fu is not good, and boldly stepping forward will only distract me and drag me down, stay here, so that I can kill the enemy wholeheartedly." ”

Although he knew that what Yan Li said was the truth, Rong Jin just couldn't agree with it.

She was silent for a moment and said softly: "I can hide Ruxue, she is still a child, even if there is something uncontrollable, those people will not do anything to a child!" The words fell, and without waiting for Yan to leave, he said urgently: "Yan Li, you can't stop me." ”

Yan Li sighed, thinking that maybe he should have ordered her acupoint first. No, Rong Jin seemed to see through his thoughts, and said softly: "Don't think about ordering my acupoint, and then go alone, I tell you, if that's the case, I will never forgive you in my life." ”

If you don't forgive, don't forgive, nothing is more important than your safety!

Yan Li smiled on his face, and was about to say "no", but his hand quietly stretched out towards Rong Jin, intending to do what he wanted, but at this moment, a sharp voice sounded.

"Qingyu, don't let this slut run away!"

In the next moment, I saw two figures rising and falling on the city wall, chasing after me.

Rong Jin and Yan Li looked over almost subconsciously, and when they saw the two people on the city wall, Rong Jin only felt that her eyes were red, she didn't want to think about it, she pushed Ruxue into Yan Li's arms, and threw herself out.

"Liu Nianxia!"

Liu Nianxia, who was chased by Linlang like a lost dog, heard this familiar voice at first glance, and couldn't help but pause, and his eyes looked at Rong Jin, who was full of anger under the city gate.

The eyes are facing each other.

I don't know why, Rong Jin felt as if she saw something called relief in Liu Nianxia's eyes. It seems that she has been waiting for this day, and the feeling of finally waiting for this moment has finally arrived.

Rong Jin rushed out, Yan Li couldn't let her be in danger alone, without thinking too much, he hid Ruxue behind a big bluestone, and then walked out.

"Young master, Miss Rong!"

On the city gate, Aunt Lan and Linlang, Qingyu looked at Rong Jin and Yan Li under the city gate with an excited face.

Time seems to be still at this moment.

The sunlight shone through the clouds, casting a golden glimmer on the two men standing side by side.

The besiegers and those defending the city all stopped their movements at this moment, and their eyes fell on the two people who were dusty but could not hide the beauty of the country.

In the silence, Rong Jin's voice slowly rose.

"Who are you?"

Liu Nianxia looked at Rong Jin under the city, was silent, and jumped down, she went down to the city, Linlang followed closely and jumped down the city, her eyes nailed her every move.

"Miss Liu!"

The people in charge of the siege under the city saw Liu Nianxia going down to the city, and immediately surrounded it, and there was a man who looked like the leader, and asked softly, "Did Miss Liu receive Gongzi Zhou?" ”

Zhou Gongzi?

In the flash of light, Rong Jin thought of Yongcheng Hou Zhou Chong, who had a marriage contract with Li Xi, and thought about it, the Zhou Gongzi in this person's mouth did not refer to Zhou Gongzi of Yongcheng Houfu, I am afraid that it is also inseparable from Yongcheng Houfu, right?

Liu Nianxia looked up at the man, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Leader Wei, the mission has failed. ”

Failed?!

The man known as the leader of Wei, Huo Ran raised his head and looked at Liu Nianxia in a daze.

Liu Nianxia looked up at the gray sky above her head in a daze, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows could not hide the look of fatigue.

bothered to plan, I thought that everything was in hand, but who knew that after all, people were not as good as heaven, just that, even if the sky did not help, what could it do?

She lowered her eyes lightly, looked at Rong Jin and Yan Li, was silent for a moment, and asked softly, "Have you ever met Lord Liao?" ”

Rong Jin and Yan Li glanced at each other, and at the end, Rong Jin said coldly: "Liao Bicheng? ”

Liu Nianxia nodded and looked at Rong Jin with hopeful eyes.

"He's dead!"

He's dead!

Liu Nianxia was stunned for a moment, and smiled bitterly again.

Yes, since Yan Li and Rong Jin appeared here, how could Lord Liao, who was ordered to intercept and kill her, still be alive?

Liu Nianxia's gaze slowly scanned the surroundings, and finally stopped at Rong Jin, "Miss Rong, there is a debtor and a master, everything is because of me, can you let them go?" ”

"Why does Miss Liu want to be prestigious, and destroy her own ambition?" Leader Wei stepped forward angrily, and said in a deep voice: "Even if our skills are not as good as others, but now that the enemy is outnumbered, even if we fight for the flow of people, we will kill them!" ”

Liu Nianxia shook her head with a smile, she ignored Leader Wei, and looked straight at Rong Jin.

"No, you can't!" Rong Jin said word by word: "I will hate two things the most, one is deception, and the other is betrayal." Unfortunately, you have taken up both, so no one here today can leave! ”

When Liu Nianxia heard this, she couldn't help frowning.

"Miss Rong, although you and I have not been together for a long time, I have always thought that you are a kind-hearted person with clear grievances, there are no less than a thousand people here, do you really want to use the accumulated white bones to vent the anger in your heart for a while?" Liu Nianxia asked.

Rong Jin looked at Liu Nianxia, who was quite righteous and righteous, with a smile, "This is my business, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Liu Nianxia was silent for a moment.

To this day, she knows that she is in a catastrophe, and what she is planning is just to save this part of the people she has cultivated for the emperor. Only, what kind of person Rong Jin is, she knows it very well.

"Miss Rong, if we fight hard, we will not have a chance to escape." Liu Nianxia made a final effort, "What you hate is only me, why don't I stay and let you dispose of ......"

Rong Jin raised his hand to interrupt Liu Nianxia's words, "You must die, they, everyone must also die!" Even if Li Xi ......" the corners of Rong Jin's lips curled into a cruel smile.

The words are not said thoroughly, but the meaning of the unfinished is clear at a glance.

Liu Nianxia couldn't help frowning, looking at Rong Jin's gaze like quenching poison, leaning slightly, the corners of his lips provoked a touch of ridicule, nodded and said: "In this way, then each depends on his ability!" ”

Almost as soon as her words fell, the leader of Wei, who was already ready to attack on one side, immediately raised his arms, and suddenly the besiegers changed to encircle the nest, and everyone instantly formed a circle, and surrounded Yanli and Rong Jin.

Lan Ying and Qing Yu on the city wall glanced at each other, and immediately waved their hands, "Kill!" ”

The two of them jumped down from the city gate and entered the siege.

Yan Li had already risen at the same time as Liu Nianxia's words fell, and Sen Ran's murderous aura opened in an instant, making Rong Jin three steps beside him, and no one could get close.

A horrific killing began.

Someone keeps falling, and someone keeps making up.

In the sound of tearing and killing, a leisurely leaf flute suddenly sounded.

It's just that the sound of this leaf flute was quickly drowned out by the earth-shattering shouting and killing, but Rong Jin looked back in the gap, and when his eyes met and stood on a piece of bluestone, his eyes were concentrating on playing the flute like snow, Rong Jin couldn't help but mourn in his heart, and turned back and shouted to Rong Linlang.

"Linlang, protected as snow!"

And at the same time as Rong Jin's voice sounded, Liu Nianxia's voice also followed closely, "Kill that little girl who plays the leaf flute!" ”

Linlang struggled forward, trying to stop those who pounced on Ruxue, only far away from the water and close to the fire, she was in the center of the battlefield, in front of her round after round of attacks, it was not easy to get out of the battlefield in a short time to save Ruxue outside the battlefield.

Seeing a few men in the prime of life with angry faces smiling and rushing towards Ruxue, Linlang's eyes were split for a moment, and she couldn't wait to put on her wings and fly over, and in the end, she couldn't bear to tilt her head, not wanting to see this momentary tragedy.

It's just that something unexpected happened.

A finger-sized insect suddenly flew out from behind Ruxue, the insect was as white as jade, and a pair of wings were as colorful as a butterfly, it first stopped at the top of Ruxue's hair, tilted its head to look at the men who were approaching, and when those people proudly waved the steel knife in their hands, it suddenly flapped its wings and flew away, flashing in front of everyone's eyes like lightning.

"Ahh

A terrible shout suddenly rang out.

In an instant, several men around Ruxue covered their faces and screamed and fell to the ground, they trembled and twitched when they fell to the ground, and the color of their faces turned into purple in an instant, and the color of bruises had not yet faded, and the whole person quickly decayed.

This momentary change stunned everyone in the field.

Until, I don't know who shouted loudly, "Flying Cup, it's Flying Cup!" ”

The crowd swelled like boiling water in an instant, and everyone screamed in horror as if they were avoiding the plague, and even turned and ran down the mountain.

"Aunt Lan, don't let any of them go!"

Yan Li's cold voice sounded.

However, before Aunt Lan chased after her, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the sky.

In the next moment, like snowflakes, the sky was full of white moth-like flying insects, and at the moment when these white flying insects appeared, the flying cup on top of the snow's head fluttered its wings again, leading the dense flying insects to scatter.

"Ah...... Ah......h

Miserable screams, one after another.

Rong Jin slowly withdrew his hand and looked up at Yan Li.

Yan Li stepped forward, stood beside Rong Jin, his eyes fell on Ruxue, who was still playing the leaf flute with his eyes closed, and said softly: "It's the Flying Cup King, Ruxue released the Flying Cup King, this kind of Flying Cup King can summon the naturally bred Flying Cup in the wild, and they will also obey the command of the Cup King, it can almost be said that wherever the Cup King pointes, they will fight!" ”

Rong Jin nodded.

She vaguely guessed something, although this was a good thing for them, but when her eyes fell on Ruxue, who was covered with a breath of death, she still couldn't help but feel sad, distressed, guilty, and blamed herself.

Where is she going to find a blue jade to return to Ruxue?

There was a "poof", and the sound of sharp knives entering flesh sounded in my ears.

Rong Jin gathered his thoughts and looked up.

At a glance, I saw Liu Nianxia holding her chest, bleeding but smiling miserably.

On her side, Linlang threw aside the sword that was stained with Liu Nianxia, stepped forward, and stared at Liu Nianxia with a fierce gaze, "It's really cheap for you!" ”

Liu Nianxia nodded.

yes, it's really cheap for her!

In the next moment, she fell to the ground heavily, and her eyes widened to see the clear sky above her head.

A scene from not long ago flashed before my eyes.

"Didn't you always want a name? I'll give it to you, but you have to do something for me, and it's done, and you'll stay with me from now on, how about it? ”

"Your Highness, please command, the slave and maid will not give up if their bodies are broken to pieces."

"From now on, your name is Liu Nianxia, and Mrs. Wu of Changxing Houfu is recruiting maidservants, you have to find a way to blend in and stay by her side!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

There was a faint sound of rumbling hooves in my ears.

After Yan Li and Rong Jin glanced at each other, Qi Qi raised his head and looked into the distance.

"It's Feng Wei!" Qingyu stepped forward and said softly: "It was the Feng Wei who the young master brought to Northern Qi before, and they caught up with those people who were scattered and fleeing at the bottom of the mountain, and they were strangled everywhere. ”

Rong Jin and Yan Li nodded, Rong Jin turned to Ruxue, who had stopped playing the leaf flute, but still lowered his eyes slightly, squatted down, looked up at her, and said softly: "Ruxue, will you follow me in the future?" ”

Ruxue shook her head, "No, I want to go back to Shilongzhai, that's Da Wu's home, I'm going to guard it, Da Wu said, people like them are dead, and their souls have to protect their hometown!" I'm going to accompany the Great Witch! ”

Rong Jin sighed and gently hugged Ruxue in his arms, "Okay, let's go home." ”
