Killing is never a reason to become stronger, and if a person proves himself by defeating others, he has already lost. This is the true meaning of life that Ji Qingchen and Shu'er realized after experiencing the torment of life and death in Yinshan when they returned to Dayan. Therefore, when he arrived at the gate of King's Landing and saw Ji Qian with a murderous appearance, his expression was still warm, as warm as the sun in winter.

"Starling, don't come here if you don't see you for a year!" He said that he was very respectful in the face of the Eighth Prince.

"Lao Jiu, what are you trying to do?" Ji Qian asked in a cold voice.

"What do you mean?" Ji Qingchen asked pretending to be stupid.

"I want 20,000 elite horsemen to escort your safety along the way, Lao Jiu, your ability is not small!" The Eighth Prince Ji sneered, and said in a stern tone, "However, Lao Jiu, you seem to have forgotten one thing, that is, the border troops from all over the country are not allowed to enter the city when they return to Beijing, so let them go back to Beiliao quickly!" ”

Although the eighth prince was very angry at Ji Qingchen's arrogance in front of him, he still resisted the urge to scold, and still said in a harmonious voice, he did not dare to attack Ji Qingchen without determining Ji Qingchen's bottom line, because Ji Qingchen had an army of 600,000 behind him, and he Ji Qian only had less than 200,000 soldiers and horses available, which was one-third of the others, and the combat effectiveness was not as good as half of the Northern Liao Jingcai, so Ji Qian still wanted to endure it when he could endure it.

"This is, starling, you are really wrong to blame the little brother, since I heard that my father was sick, I thought that the defense of King's Landing City was very empty, there were only 60,000 Yulin cavalry and starling brother's 80,000 Xiao cavalry guards, I was afraid that the troops were a little weak, so I brought 20,000 horses over, the purpose was to strengthen the defense of King's Landing City! Please also ask Starling Mingjian! Ji Qingchen said seriously.

However, he revealed two messages to Ji Qian from this sentence, first, the current King's Landing City is only 140,000 troops, don't force me, and second, that is, you Ji Qian's 80,000 cavalry guards can defend King's Landing City, why do I Ji Qingchen 20,000 elite cavalry can't garrison King's Landing City?

Sure enough, when Ji Qian heard this, his face changed several times.

"Lao Jiu, don't you know the great sin you have committed? Why are you still so arrogant? You selfishly dispatched troops to kill the Great Yan Mission, and then took the initiative to leave the country, and also proposed a princess to the emperor who left the country, this matter has made my father very angry, decided to punish, and has removed you from the post of governor of Northern Liao. Now you're going to have to bring your troops into King's Landing. What are you trying to do? Do you still have a father in your eyes? Ji Qian angrily reprimanded Ji Qingchen and said.

He has endured enough, but Ji Qingchen still doesn't give him face, so he can't blame him for being unkind to Ji Qingchen.

"Starling said it was funny, how my father wants to punish me, this should be up to my father, I don't care what happens to you, starling!" Ji Qingchen saw that Ji Qian didn't want to continue pretending, so he said in an unkind tone, "As for bringing troops into the city, this is to ensure the safety of King's Landing City, and please don't talk nonsense, so as not to flash your tongue!" ”

"Lao Jiu, you are guilty of the following!" Ji Qian said angrily, "My father has decreed that this king will supervise the country, if you insist on refusing, don't blame this king for being unkind to you!" ”

"I didn't expect that the starling went to Yizhou and became bolder, and the momentum became sufficient, but the horizon still hasn't widened, and you don't want to think about it, I don't want to think that my Ji Qingchen is not afraid of 300,000 Beirong elite horses, and will you be afraid that you won't succeed?" Ji Qingchen is not ready to give Ji Qian face, because whoever retreats at this time is equivalent to who admits defeat.

In the face of a dangerous situation, he Ji Qingchen can no longer be a soft egg, especially when Emperor Yan is seriously ill and Ji Qian is in charge of the empress of the country.

"Humph!" Ji Qian snorted coldly, but he didn't speak again, but the pros and cons of power.

However, at this time, someone had already ruled the army defending the city, and I saw a group of 3,000 foot soldiers arrogantly rushing out of the city gate, standing behind Ji Qian and facing Ji Qingchen and his 20,000 elite horsemen.

This is obviously the foot guards of King's Landing City that have been controlled by Ji Qian, but they just left the city in a hurry, so they didn't gather more people and horses, and only 3,000 people came out.

"What, is the starling trying to do something with this king?" Ji Qingchen glanced coldly at the commanding general beside Ji Qian, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, which made the general's body cold, and he suddenly didn't dare to look at Ji Qingchen anymore, so he could only lower his head.

This is the momentum, which is the momentum that Ji Qingchen has formed in the army all year round.

Suddenly, there was a tense situation at the gate of the city, and 20,000 Qingfeng horsemen released the murderous aura on their bodies, and although only 3,000 foot soldiers rushed out of the city, there were still tens of thousands of troops in the process of mobilization.

All of a sudden, when the two brothers met, they were already turning against each other!

This is something that Ji Qingchen didn't expect, and it was also something that Ji Qian himself didn't expect.

And at this moment, a person suddenly appeared, and his arrival resolved this crisis, this person was Wei Zhongxian, the personal servant of Emperor Yan, and the chief administrator of the Great Yan Palace.

"Eighth Highness, Ninth Highness, please don't do it!" Wei Zhongxian, who was far away, shouted, "Your Majesty has a will!" ”

As soon as Wei Zhongxian's voice fell, the people had already rushed to Ji Qingchen and Ji Qian on horseback, so they immediately got off their horses and bowed to Ji Qian and Ji Qingchen, and then said to Ji Qingchen, "Your Majesty has a decree, please accept the decree from Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao!" ”

Wei Zhongxian suddenly appeared, which Ji Qian did not expect, but it was also expected by him. Because although Emperor Yan's illness is very serious and he often falls asleep, he also has occasional times when he is awake, and he can also handle government affairs when he is awake, because it is not surprising to see Emperor Yan give Ji Qingchen a decree. And it was precisely because of Emperor Yan's fluctuating illness that Ji Qian and the empress did not dare to hit the princes wantonly, for fear that Emperor Yan would deal with government affairs when he was sober and punish them.

"The retainers take the order!" Ji Qingchen got off the horse and knelt on the ground and said.

"Xuan Ji Qingchen and Ji Qian went to the Manna Hall to meet you!" Wei Zhongxian's slender voice read, "Another 20,000 elite horsemen under the command of Ji Qingchen are stationed outside the city, and they don't wait to enter the city!" ”

"No!" Although Ji Qingchen was extremely reluctant, he had no choice about Emperor Yan's will at this time. With his strength, if he fought to the end with Ji Qian, he had the ability to bring 5,000 men and horses into King's Landing, but now that Emperor Yan had come forward, he could only bring his own 300 cavalry battalions and 100 tigers and leopards into the city.

Hearing Emperor Yan's will, Ji Qian's face showed a victorious smile, and Ji Qingchen could only order Hou Xiaotian to temporarily settle the army in the former Xiaoqi camp in the Kunshan military camp, and he could only let Li Changzheng take four hundred guards to escort him and Shu'er into King's Landing City with Wei Zhongxian and Ji Qian.

On the way to the Ganlu Hall to meet him, Ji Qingchen never understood why he had just had a conflict with Ji Qingchen, and his father's holy decree arrived? It's too late for my father to wake up, right? Besides, as soon as he woke up, how did he know that Lu Dao had 20,000 elite horsemen accompanying him, and how did he know that Lu Dao had a conflict with Ji Qian?

However, although Ji Qingchen has such doubts in his heart, what he is most worried about now is not this, but how his father will punish him for killing the mission without permission, and then leaving the country without authorization to ask for a marriage to Shu'er, because compared to the previous thing, the latter two are the big crimes of rebellion!

It's just that I don't know much about my father, Emperor Ji Qingchen, because he has been hostage away from the country for ten years.

Therefore, at this moment, he couldn't guess how his father would punish him, so he could only resign himself to fate! However, no matter how his father punished him, he must also be able to protect Shu'er, even at the cost of giving up the military power of the Northern Liao army. Because Shu'er is the most precious wealth in his life, and he is the woman who is worthy of protecting Ji Qingchen with his life.

In this conjecture, Ji Qingchen and Ji Qian walked into the Manna Palace.

There are already several ministers in the Ganlu Palace, namely Prime Minister Pei Wenju, Ministry of Industry and Taishi Cui Jingsheng, Ministry of Rites Secretary Chen Yan, Ministry of Officials Shangshu Wang You and Privy Envoy Li Muzhi, and of course the Queen Mother. Because Emperor Yan had just woken up, he was still on the bed, but he was in good spirits.

"Son-in-law, see father!" Ji Qingchen and Ji Qian walked into the Ganlu Hall and immediately saluted Emperor Yan.

"Ji Qian, get up!" Emperor Yan said to Ji Qian, but ignored Ji Qingchen, but stared at Ji Qingchen's body tightly, and only after a long time did he speak, "Ji Qingchen, are you guilty?" ”

"The son is punished, and the father is also punished!" Ji Qingchen didn't quibble, "However, Erchen also has a request, as long as the father agrees to Erchen's request, no matter how the father punishes Erchen, Erchen has no complaints." ”

"You say!" Emperor Yan said coldly.

"Erchen and Shu'er's childhood sweetheart grew up together, and they have long made an oath of the mountain alliance and the sea, and they will be together in this life. Therefore, I implore my father to give marriage to my son, so that my son can marry Shu'er. Ji Qingchen said, this is the only thing he can do for Shu'er now, because Shu'er followed him to Dayan, if he doesn't marry Shu'er, as a princess who has left the country, Shu'er lives in Dayan Junlin City for no reason, what is this? Was it elopement? Still is...... This is not good for Shu'er's reputation, so Ji Qingchen will do it.

"Accurate!" Emperor Yan said coldly, "Chen Yan, this matter will be handed over to your Ministry of Rites, as well as Pei Wenju, this wedding will be organized by you and the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple!" ”

"No!" Pei Wenju and Chen Yan led the order.

Now Pei Wenju no longer deals with government affairs, and hands over government affairs to Taishi Cui Jingsheng, so he can only do some small things such as weddings.

Seeing that Ji Qian seemed to be dissatisfied with this matter, and just as he was about to express his dissatisfaction, he heard Emperor Yan say, "After the wedding, I will slowly settle your charges!" ”

Emperor Yan's words are expressing a meaning to everyone, he has the final say on how to clean up Ji Qingchen, but he will not do it until after the wedding, if anyone is unfavorable to Ji Qingchen before the wedding, he must give someone a good color.

Therefore, after Emperor Yan said this, Ji Qian, who still wanted to speak, was silent! The queen on the side was just a little gloomy and didn't say anything more.

Only Ji Qingchen understood what Emperor Yan was thinking, and replied in a low voice, "No! ”
