The royal capital.

The people's anger was boiling, the order was chaotic, from the courtiers to the people, and the voice of asking for orders to kill Li Yue'er never stopped.

Every time Ye Gucheng went to the court, he would definitely detain several court officials, and in the cells of the heavenly prison, there were more and more officials detained, but instead of extinguishing the discordant voice, it became stronger and stronger.

Such a backlash was obviously unexpected by Ye Gucheng, and gradually, he began to be afraid of going to the court, and he began to be afraid of facing seemingly hypocritical but indignant faces.

The harem unconsciously became the last piece of Lotte in Ye Gucheng, and only here can he forget his short-term troubles!

Li Yueli smiles at each other every day, and even pesters Ye Gucheng to learn the piano many times with Li Yue'er, she has heard Ye Gucheng's songs humming and feels very beautiful, so she wants to play these songs through the strings.

Ye Gucheng knew very well that Li Yueli's move was not to learn the piano, in fact, Li Yueli preferred to practice martial arts, and learning the piano was just to make him happy and let him forget the troubles in the court!

Ye Gucheng was also very cooperative, because he really needed something to release the pressure, otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to help it, and once he couldn't help it, he didn't dare to imagine the consequences!

He didn't want to kill people! Especially against the officials who asked for the lives of the people and the innocent people who were deceived, he really didn't want to raise this butcher's knife!

However, how long can you endure such a stalemate?

Ye Gucheng didn't know! It's like he can't make a choice, between the kingdom and Li Yue'er!

"Ah!!h

Ye Gucheng was extremely depressed, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl.

The surrounding palace guards couldn't help but be startled, and stepped forward with a panicked expression: "Commander... ”

"I'm fine!" Ye Gucheng didn't explain much, and walked towards Yiyue Pavilion with a heavy heart.

"See the commander!" the slave hurriedly saluted when he saw Ye Gucheng coming.

"Where's Miss Yue'er?" Ye Gucheng turned around in Yiyue Pavilion and didn't see Li Yue'er.

The servant was stunned for a moment, and whispered, "Didn't the commander summon the young lady just now?"

"When did I summon Yue'er?" Ye Gucheng frowned, and immediately, his face changed drastically, and he said urgently: "When did it happen? Who took Miss Yue'er and where did she go?"

Three questions in a row frightened the slave to answer quickly. "Not long after leaving, it was a palace guard, and he went in the direction of the back garden. ”

Ye Gucheng's heart sank, and he hurriedly rushed to the back garden. "Quick, go with Ben Shuai. ”

More than ten people outside the hall hurriedly followed Ye Gucheng.

In the back garden, in the middle of nowhere, two figures, one in front and one behind, walking slowly.

Li Yue'er looked around, but she couldn't see Ye Gucheng's figure, and couldn't help but look back at the palace guards suspiciously. "Strange, why isn't my brother-in-law here?"

The palace guard was a middle-aged man, his face was sinking like water, and when he saw that there was no one around, he slowly drew his saber. "Miss Yue'er, the villain wants to borrow something from you. ”

Although Li Yue'er was simple, she could also sense the danger, so she couldn't help but take a few steps back, and said timidly: "What do you want to borrow from me?"

"Your head is on your neck. The middle-aged palace guard was not verbose, and as soon as the words fell, the machete was raised high.

Ye Gucheng happened to arrive, and his eyes were about to split, and he roared violently: "Stop." ”

The middle-aged palace guard's movements were for no reason, and they also stopped so inadvertently, allowing Li Yue'er to successfully avoid the fate of being beheaded, and the neck where the blade deviated only cut off a few strands of hair.

"Brother-in-law. Li Yue'er was so frightened that she rushed away, completely ignoring the danger behind her.

Ye Gucheng saw that the palace guards did not succeed in one blow, so he chased Li Yue'er again, and was so anxious that he rushed desperately. "Get down, Yue'er, get down. ”

Li Yue'er obviously didn't understand what Ye Gucheng meant, she just cried and ran wildly.

The middle-aged palace guard was also out of the way, and as soon as the distance was approached, the machete was raised high.

At this critical moment, a palace guard smashed his saber at the middle-aged palace guard.

Suddenly attacked, the middle-aged palace guard staggered, and then, gritted his teeth and continued to sprint towards Li Yue'er.

It was also such a delay that Li Yue'er successfully came to Ye Gucheng's side, but the crisis was still not resolved, and the deadly machete was raised high again.

Ye Gucheng gritted his teeth, turned around sharply, and quickly switched positions with Li Yue'er, leaving his back to the middle-aged palace guard.

It was too late to collect the knife, and the middle-aged palace guard had no choice but to try his best to control the strength of the slash.

Burst!

The knife was splattered with blood.

"Commander!!" The palace guard who followed was furious, and kicked the middle-aged palace guard away with a heavy kick.

As soon as the middle-aged palace guard got up, he was put on his neck by countless knives, looking at Li Yue'er, who was tightly guarded by Ye Gucheng, he smiled desolately, and said in a loud voice: "Commander! Li Yue'er can't stay, disaster to the country and the people, the kingdom is in danger!"

After the middle-aged palace guard finished speaking, he suddenly wiped it towards the saber on his neck, and died of anger in an instant.

The audience was silent, with a blank face.

And Ye Gucheng's face was extremely ugly.

Taihe Temple.

Ye Gucheng lay quietly on the soft couch and let Li Yueli help him with medicine.

"The doctor said that the husband should not be angry these days, and it is better to recuperate, and the husband 。。。。。。 Li Yueli looked at the shocking wound on her back, and her eyes were very red.

"How is Yue'er?" Ye Gucheng obviously didn't want to talk about the topic in Li Yueli's mouth.

"I've been crying for a long time, and I just fell asleep. Li Yueli hesitated, but couldn't help but continue: "Husband, you 。。。。。。 ”

"It's okay to look at Yue'er more, I'm afraid of being frightened by this, and I'm prone to nightmares. ”

"Hmm!" Li Yueli sighed secretly, she knew that Ye Gucheng didn't want her to continue to persuade him.

The commander was attacked in the harem, and as soon as the news came out, it immediately set off a monstrous wave among the civil and military officials, if it wasn't for Zhang Yi to stop it, Xuanyuan Xue and others were afraid that they would have set off a sea of blood again.

And Ye Gucheng, on the second day after recuperating from his injuries, he directly issued an order: among the palace guards, all those who are not from the Xuanyuan clan will be dismissed, and all the slaves and palace managers will be dismissed and replaced by Xuanyuan people.

As soon as this order was issued, it once again set off a wave of criticism.

It has been a few days since Ye Gucheng went to court again, and the first thing he did in the court was to be questioned by the courtiers.

"The commander has been acting more and more perversely recently, as a monarch, such a pro-Xuanyuan people is not conducive to integration with the kingdom, and the subjects are shameless, is it possible that except for the Xuanyuan people, they are not the people of the Huaxia Kingdom?"

"Shameless!" Ye Gucheng smiled, laughing extraordinarily wildly.

The courtiers looked at each other, and their hearts became more and more uneasy.

"What if you're not ashamed?" Ye Gucheng suddenly stopped laughing, and then said indifferently: "I'm a pro-Xuanyuan clan, what can you do?"

"This... The civil official was speechless.

"If you don't accept it, you will take off my official uniform. Ye Gucheng's expression became more and more fierce, and he said slowly: "Or, I'll help you pick it up." ”

The civil official's face was extremely ugly, and he angrily reprimanded: "Commander, you are insulting the minister, the minister。。。。。。 ”

"I'm just insulting you, what can you do?" Ye Gucheng was not verbose, and shouted violently: "Come on, rip off his official uniform for me, blast out of the royal capital, degraded to a commoner, and never be an official." ”

The palace guard stepped forward quickly.

The civil official shouted angrily: "Commander, you are not insulting the minister, but insulting the kingdom, this is a move to destroy the country and mislead the country, commander-in-chief。。。。。。 ”

"Drag it off. Ye Gucheng was furious.

Only then did the palace guards drag the civil official away in a panic.

"I think, you haven't figured out one thing, maybe I'm too good to you! It's so good that you forget, Huaxia Kingdom, who is the one who is really in charge!" Ye Gucheng glanced at the ministers coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "You all say that I am close to the Xuanyuan clan, so what's wrong with me being close to the Xuanyuan clan? ”

Zhang Yi was extremely worried when he saw Ye Gucheng out of control like this, but he didn't dare to speak, especially at this moment.

"Loyalty, absolute loyalty, do you have it? Ah? Yes? In Ben Shuai's harem, there are people who openly commit murder, and they are still a palace guard! The palace guard, the guard who protects Ben Shuai, but he picks up a butcher knife and wants to attack Ben Shuai's family, this is Ben Shuai's palace guard, you keep saying loyalty?"

These words made countless civil ministers and military generals bow their heads in shame.

"You don't have it! It doesn't matter! The Xuanyuan people have! Even if there is no you, Ben Shuai still has the Xuanyuan clan, so don't talk to me about the way to die the country, otherwise, the kingdom is not dead, and I will let you die first." ”

"Xuanyuan snow. ”

"The minister is here. Xuanyuan Xue quickly came out of the ranks.

"Dispatch troops to the royal capital, but if you cause trouble, no matter who you are, you will be killed!" At this moment, Ye Gucheng seemed to have returned to the beginning of the founding of the country.

"The commander thinks twice. Zhang Yi hurriedly came out of the ranks, he couldn't help it!

"Zhang Yi. Ye Gucheng was furious and scolded: "If you dare to continue to speak, I will be the first to behead you." ”

Zhang Yi was stunned, and the words he wanted to say were imprisoned in his mouth.

"I want to govern the country with civilization, but civilization will not allow me! Since civilization cannot tolerate me, then I will stop killing and return me to purgatory with blood. ”

It's very weird, the civil officials who talk about Kaikai on weekdays are all sitting upright at the moment, and they don't dare to put a fart.

"Xuanyuan Jianhong. ”

"The minister is here. Xuanyuan Jianhong quickly stepped out of the ranks.

"The order, garrison barracks in various places, the whole army is dispatched, and the whole city is under martial law, but anyone who dares to say that Li Yue'er is a demon and evil will be killed, and there will be no forgiveness. ”

"Yes!"

It's over, it's over!

Zhang Yi was so anxious that he couldn't wait to spin in place.

On the other hand, Zheng Wenlong's face was as usual, and his heart was really happy.

"Report!" A general entered the hall in a panic, knelt on the ground and saluted: "Commander Qiqi, I just received an urgent report from Guangcheng, the alliance of the Three Kingdoms has attacked, Guangcheng has been lost, and tens of thousands of soldiers have been martyred. ”

"What?" the audience was shocked.

"Okay! I originally wanted to coexist peacefully, but they came to do it! Okay, very!" Ye Gucheng was furious, and the murderous aura in his eyes was extremely strong.

The whole country was shocked when the border was lost and the enemy troops attacked! However, it was precisely this sudden war that skillfully diverted the people's attention, and it was more important to retreat from the enemy and defend the country than Li Yue'er's incident.

And Ye Gucheng, after this bloody lesson, finally realized that if the kingdom wants to be stable for a long time, unification is the inevitable result.

A major battle related to the unification and hegemony of the Western Regions has officially begun.
