After the sacrifice was completed, when the emperor left, all the officials couldn't wait to leave. On an altar, Xiao Lian, He Jingying, Xiao Zijing, Xiao Zizhen and others remained.

Xiao Zizhen's eyes were red and rushed up, he just wanted to raise his hand to give Xiao Zijing a punch, but he saw that Xiao Zijing's eyes were as dim as a dying man, and the raised fist was lowered again: "Fifth brother, why are you!" ”

"Lao Jiu, this is our life."

Xiao Zizhen said angrily: "What life? You have led the Anxi Army to fight for many years, if it weren't for you, I don't know how many states and counties in Daqi were taken by the Northern Wei Dynasty! There are also ministers in the court, and most of the military generals who speak out support us......"

"Lao Jiu! Can't you see it yet? My father never intended to give me that position! ”

"So what? We are no worse than the second brother, why can't we fight. ”

"How to fight? Hit it with the Anxi Army? ”

"If you are cornered, you will not ......"

"Shut up!" Xiao Zijing shouted angrily: "Lao Jiu, in front of the ancestors and ancestors, I want you to swear. ”

"What swear?" Xiao Zizhen was puzzled.

"I swear not to be a rebel and a thief."

"Fifth brother!"

"I want you to swear!"

Xiao Zizhen choked in his throat. He has admired Xiao Zijing since he was a child. admires his mind, admires his righteousness, admires his brows from birth to death on the battlefield. But this mind, this righteousness, now in his opinion, is a sharp weapon to kill Xiao Zijing.

"King Jian'an, can you let me say a few words to King An Lu alone?"

Xiao Zizhen looked at He Jingying with red eyes: "It's you, you're the demon girl!" If it weren't for you, why would my fifth brother be like this! ”

"Lao Jiu! This matter has nothing to do with Princess Nanjun! Xiao Zijing looked up at Xiao Zizhen and said, "Lao Jiu, don't you understand?" I'm saving our lives! What is the reputation of the second brother in the court? You and I can't compare together, but how does the emperor treat the second brother? ”

"What does it matter?" Xiao Zizhen was puzzled: "The emperor treats the second brother badly, don't we have a chance?" ”

"King Jian'an, have you ever heard of the words 'meritorious master'?"

"Not bad." Xiao Zijing said in a deep voice: "The second brother's subordinates are still mostly civil servants. I was originally in charge of the Anxi Army, and now the generals are on my side. If the second brother falls, you and I will die next. Do you really think that the emperor didn't kill Lao Qi just because of Empress Wumu? Have you ever thought that if the emperor kills the seventh brother, he will inevitably condemn the second brother. What will happen to the DPRK and China then? ”

Xiao Zizhen frowned and said, "What if he dies?" The second brother was pulled down, and the big deal is that the people who originally supported the second brother turned to support you and me. Oh, maybe half of them will support the Dharma Body, and it's not that you're the only one, what are you afraid of? ”

Xiao Zijing said coldly: "The law body is weak, what will those ministers who support me do?" ”

Xiao Zi really chuckled. What will happen? What else? The generals don't say anything, their temper is still impatient, they didn't look down on Nanjun Wang, a gentleman little prince, they didn't like him before, can they try their best to kill him?

Xiao Zijing smiled helplessly: "Our good father has given birth to so many sons, but the favorite is his grandson." Okay, Lao Jiu, you just let me say a few words alone with Princess Nanjun. ”

Xiao Zi was really angry, but when the words were said like this, he couldn't refute it, so he could only walk away angrily.

He Jingying stood in front of Xiao Zijing and bowed respectfully, which was a great gift from the younger generation to the elders.

Xiao Zijing tilted his head slightly and looked at He Jingying, who was kneeling beside him: "Princess Nanjun, I can't be a few years older than you, so I can't stand this big gift." ”

He Jingying said seriously: "Jingying, thank you Uncle Wuwang for saving her life. ”

Xiao Zijing smiled: "Princess Nanjun, you brought out all my brothers of the Anxi Army in the trough that day, and I said at that time that I owe you a favor." It's paid off now. ”

"Uncle Wuwang, I repaired the book that day and asked you to go to Lu Liang for me to find a piece of the scale armor of the cave newt. Why do you tell the matter of the manger in front of the officials? ”

"Do you really think that a single piece of scale armor can block the mouth of the Yoyo crowd?"

He Jingying shook her head: "The matter of ghosts and gods, once there is fear in people's hearts, how easy is it to eliminate?" What's more, whether I am a demon girl or not, it doesn't matter that much to Wang Jingze. What he wants to see most is that the prince comes to save me and implicates himself. If the prince doesn't save me, it will be no loss to him, there is still a Wang girl living in the palace, and he has a trick. ”

"Then you still let me go to Lu Liang to find you the scale armor?"

"I can't stop the mouths of the people, but at least let the emperor know what Yin soldiers and what demon dragons are nonsense to frame the prince. The emperor will not protect me, but he will protect the prince. He Jingying looked at Xiao Zijing and said, "Uncle Wuwang, you just said about Lu Liang, but you didn't mention anything about the Yin soldiers. This great grace will always be remembered by me and the prince. ”

Xiao Zijing shook his head: "I'm not for you." You and I both know that Lu Liang's matter involves a lot, whether it is fratricide or fighting for the Yin soldiers, any one of them is a felony that will lose the sacred heart. I'm just taking one less charge of myself. There is also the matter of Yin Bing, the emperor may not know about it, but he never mentioned it because the emperor didn't want to mention it. If there are really Yin soldiers and gods in this world, then what is imperial power in this world? Being used by someone with a heart to make a big fuss is not as simple as killing a few soldiers. ”

"But Uncle Wuwang, you could have said nothing."

Xiao Zijing looked back at He Jingying: "You heard what I said to Lao Jiu just now, right?" ”

"I heard it, although what you said has some truth, but there are many ways to show weakness, why do you want to anger the emperor? Let yourself have no way out? ”

Xiao Zijing smiled helplessly: "There is no way out, there is a way to live." This world belongs to his father, he can give it to whoever he wants, if he robs ......" Xiao Zijing shook his head: "Look at it, if Xiao Yunying still can't understand this, his fate will not be much better than that of the fourth brother." ”

Xiao Zijing looked up at He Jingying and smiled gently: "I'll go to the border tomorrow to guard, and I won't return to Beijing for a while." Princess Nanjun, I want to stay alone for a while, you can go. ”

He Jingying blessed her body and walked down the altar. Under the altar, Xiao Lian and Yang Minzhi were waiting there. Yang Minzhi's face was still as pale as ever, looking at him like that, I was afraid that he had been lynched for several days.

"Minzhi, why are you here?"

Yang Minzhi's voice was a little hoarse: "When I came back, I didn't fall into the right place." You happened to be out of the house, and I was caught by the men stationed outside the house. ”

"Isn't there a Yulin army stationed outside the house? How could you be caught by Wang Sikong. ”

Yang Minzhi lowered his eyes: "I thought something happened to you, and you had some disputes with Yu Linwei, and you happened to be seen by Wang Sikong who was passing by, and you were taken away by the way." ”

He Jingying smiled coldly: "By the way? Wang Sikong probably kept an eye on us. ”

"Why was the Nanjun Royal Mansion surrounded by the Yulin Army before?"

"After you disappeared from the manger, a lot of things have happened, and I'm afraid I can't tell for a while."

Xiao Lian stretched out his hand and patted Yang Minzhi, his hand was not heavy, but he still patted Yang Minzhi to a stumbling moment: "Ancestor, don't be in a hurry to ask about this first." You see that I sacrificed my ancestors to you, so I can't really let you eat the tribute on the table, right? Let's go home first. ”

He Jingying shook her head: "Before we go back to the mansion, we have to go to the prince's mansion first." ”
