Chapter 687 - Brotherhood
After last night's wedding banquet, Liu Zixun's name was well-known in the capital.
Everyone blessed him and Chu Yongshuo, and early this morning, Liu Zixun had returned to Liu with Chu Yongshuo's ashes and the congratulatory gifts sent by everyone, the dowry given by the Chu Emperor and the Empress, and the Queen Mother.
Staying in Chu for a month, if it weren't for Chu Yongshuo's incident, they would have left a few days earlier.
The procession was huge, and the people came out to see him off, singing the blessing song of Chu for him.
I wish Liu Zixun and Chu Yongshuo can stay together for a long time and be together for a hundred years.
Liu Zixun had been to the prince's mansion before leaving, and wanted to thank Xiao Changge, if it wasn't for Xiao Changge's reminder, he wouldn't have stood up and said those words to Emperor Chu at that time.
It's just that Xiao Changge seemed to know that Liu Zixun would come, and sent Qiudong to wait outside.
As soon as Liu Zixun came, Qiu Dong hurriedly told Xiao Changge what he said, and Liu Zixun set off back to Liu Guo without even seeing him.
Xiao Changge didn't want to see him, he didn't force it.
It's just that this thank you is in his heart, and if he needs him in the future, he will help him.
His men dragged a cart carrying four boxes containing gold, silver and jewelry, all of which had been given to him by the Emperor of Chu, and these people were also sent by the Emperor of Chu.
"Master Horse, you have to be kind to the princess."
The people behind him shouted and waved at Liu Zixun.
Another car came from the direction of the city gate, Yan Wuxian lifted the curtain, those people were disdainful when they saw that it was Yan Wuxian, and some even spat on the road where Yan Wuxian's carriage was passing, and some even unceremoniously threw rotten vegetables and rotten eggs outside the carriage.
The people shouted even more frantically: "Get out, get out of the Chu State." ”
Everyone didn't give Yan Wuxian face, compared with Liu Zixun, it was a heaven and a earth.
Love and respect for the former, hatred and spurning for the latter.
"Prince, do you need to call officers and soldiers to arrest those mediocre people?"
Yan Wuxian's subordinates said angrily.
The master of his family is the prince of Yan State, and it is really disrespectful for these people of Chu State to be so rude to his master.
If it was in Yan Kingdom, he would have dragged these people down and cut them down.
"This is the territory of the Chu State, don't act rashly."
Yan Wuxian sat coldly under the hand beside him, and even his strength to speak was a little weaker.
Now that he can't get Chu Yongshuo, and even his imperial sister has made a clear relationship with him, it is impossible for Chu Yan and Yan to reconcile in the future.
"The prince of Chu is too unkind."
The subordinates chattered, looked at Yan Wuxian's face cautiously, and when Chu Yan was mentioned, Yan Wuxian's face turned dark.
He went to see Chu Yan, but he didn't expect Chu Yan to cross the river and tear down the bridge.
He asked Chu Yan for an explanation, but Chu Yan said that he gave up this opportunity and drove him out of the prince's mansion.
He was the prince of Yan Kingdom, but Chu Yan ordered someone to drive him away without even giving him any face.
He had no place to take advantage of Chu Yan, so he was so cruel to him.
Before leaving, Chu Yan only said four words: take the blame for yourself.
Is he to blame?
"Now that I'm back in Yan Kingdom, I don't know what Emperor Yan will say about you, the prince."
Seeing that Yan Wuxian didn't speak, his subordinates boldly continued.
But this sentence touched the minefield of Yan Wuxian.
The sharp gaze fell on his subordinates, and the hand was pinched around his neck as early as the moment he turned around, and the green tendons were abrupt.
The subordinates were a little stunned by Yan Wuxian's action, and only heard the click of the hand on his neck.
Inside the carriage, there was silence.
As soon as he let go of his hand, his hand fell to the ground.
The round eyes were still staring, different.
Yan Wuxian looked at the corpse lying on the ground coldly, and patted his clothes with his hands, as if he wanted to wipe his hands clean.
"How can it be your turn to talk about royal affairs?"
Yan Wuxian snorted coldly, listening to the voices of the people outside, he just wanted to leave the Chu State as soon as possible.
But he was right, Emperor Yan was sad for him.
He didn't want to marry a dead man, he didn't want his brothers to laugh at him.
And now that the relationship with the Chu State is deadlocked, Emperor Yan is bound to compare him with Liu Zixun.
It was not comparable in the past, and it is not comparable now.
In front of Emperor Yan, he will never be able to compare to Liu Zixun, and now that he has let Liu Zixun sit back and enjoy it, how can Emperor Yan not be angry?
The carriage drove slowly, and the wheels of the carriage turned slowly, away from the capital.
……
Qi Zhao fell asleep shortly after he got into the carriage, and when he woke up, the sun was almost setting.
His right eyelid was throbbing, and even his heart was beating violently.
Qi Zhao's mind was a little clearer, and he wanted to continue to rest, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he found that the carriage was not moving, and he opened his eyes suddenly.
With sharp eyes, he picked up the sword beside him in his hand, lifted the curtain and rolled out of the carriage.
As he left the capital, the guards all fell to the ground, and the coachman was also killed by a sword.
The afterglow fell on their corpses, and the blood was terrifyingly red.
Holding the hilt of his sword, the light reflected on his face, and his eyes snapped forward.
"How about you!"
When he saw the person standing in front of him, Qi Zhao took two steps back.
He didn't expect Qi Xuan to dare to appear in front of him.
Yun Ji helped Qi Xuan, followed by a few people in black.
Yun Ji looked at Qi Zhao coldly, how could such a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death be qualified to be a king.
"Second brother, don't come unharmed."
Qi Xuan coughed twice, the injuries on his body were not healed, and even the wounds hurt when he coughed.
But the wound didn't hurt, it hurt his heart.
They are brothers and sisters, but they are not as important as a throne.
"Heh, you said that you have no intention of being the Emperor of Qi, but now there are so many masters by your side, Qi Xuan, Qi Xuan, you are the one who hides the deepest."
Qi Zhao looked at Qi Xuan coldly and chuckled.
And his brothers all believed that Qi Xuan had no intention of being the emperor of Qi, but they didn't know that he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
Yun Ji was also surprised that there were so many masters around Chu Yu besides Wei.
These masters are even more powerful than Wei.
You really can't underestimate Chu Yu.
"Second brother, you forced me."
Qi Xuan said coldly, if Qi Zhao was willing to let him go, he would definitely not do such a thing.
"I'm forcing you? I am also for myself, third brother, born in the royal family, how do you want me to believe in you, how can I let you go. ”
Qi Zhao laughed, and the birds in the forest were so frightened that they flew away.
looked at Qi Xuan sadly, and the more he looked at it, the more envious he became.
Obviously, he is better than Qi Xuan everywhere, but his father praises Qi Xuan's goodness everywhere.
He can recite poems, and his father takes it for granted, but if it is Qi Xuan, his father is so happy that he rewards him again and again, this is the difference.
It's not that he wants to be jealous, it's that his father only has Qi Xuan in his eyes.
As long as Qi Xuan disappears, his father will definitely take a look at him.
So coming to Chu State is a good opportunity, the only chance to make Qi Xuan disappear.
But he made a mistake, he didn't think that Qi Xuan had hooked up with someone from the Chu State like him, otherwise how could there be such a master around Qi Xuan.
So the one who hides the most is Qi Xuan.
"In your position today, I'm afraid that I knew that those people were sent by me, and you won't let me go if you want to."
Qi Zhao threw the scabbard on the ground and took a few steps back.
"I'd better die at your hands than at your hands..."
"Second brother!"
Qi Xuan seemed to know what Qi Zhao was going to do, pushed Yun Ji away and wanted to walk towards Qi Zhao to stop him, but who knew that he was a step too late.
Bright red blood splattered on the reeds, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and his body fell with it.
"Second brother."
Qi Xuan limped towards Qi Zhao, tears in his eyes, and he held Qi Zhao's body and trembled.
Qi Zhao looked at Qi Xuan's sad appearance of crying, he smiled, and the blood from the corner of his mouth flowed.
Looking at the afterglow, I recalled the scene when I was a child and climbed the mountain tree with Qi Xuan to see the scenery.
At that time, Qi Xuan fell from the tree and injured his arm, his father was furious when he found out, and punished him for kneeling for three days, and then Qi Xuan interceded, and his father released him, otherwise I don't know how long he would have to kneel.
He has not been close to other brothers since he was a child, but he is the same brother as Qi Xuanqing, and he takes Qi Xuan with him wherever he goes, but he has always wanted to kill him in his heart, but he can't bear it many times.
It is precisely because of the unbearable feeling again and again that Qi Xuan has survived until now.
If he was given another chance, he would definitely kill Qi Xuan when he was a child.
When he grew up, he realized how many heavy things the prince was carrying on his shoulders, he had to be responsible for his mother and the forces behind him, he had to let them live a good life, he had to fight for the throne, he had to...
Blood on the hands.
"Second brother, I don't want your life, I just want you to apologize."
Qi Xuan cried, holding Qi Zhao's hand tightly.
Blood stained his sleeves red, and the smell of blood disgusted him.
He hates war, killing, and blood, not to mention that the person in front of him is a brother who has played with him since he was a child.
Although he made many decisions, it can be seen that after Qi Zhao, he couldn't bear it.
"Third brother, don't believe what your younger brothers and brothers say."
"I die, you live. I live, you die. ”
Qi Zhao said word by word, and blood flowed out of his mouth.
As soon as the words fell, his eyes were closed.
If he doesn't die, it must be Qi Xuan's death.
Qi Xuan lowered his head, unable to see his face clearly.
I saw that his body was trembling, and the cry was heard.
The black-clothed people standing behind Yun Ji were so cold that they didn't have the slightest emotion and were unmoved.
Without Qi Xuan's order, they would not have been dispatched.
Yun Ji saw Qi Xuan crying like this, and his heart softened a little.
Slowly approached Qi Xuan, his hand on his shoulder.
"The deceased is gone, don't be too sad."
Yun Ji comforted, he also saw the scene of his parents starving to death in front of him, and he knew how sad it was for his relatives to part.
Who knew that Qi Xuan raised his head, but he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Not crying, he was laughing.
His eyes were full of tears, but his mouth couldn't help but smile.
Yun Ji's body was stiff, and he couldn't understand Qi Xuan.
"I'm sad, but I can't stop laughing."
Qi Xuan explained, hot tears slipped from his eyes, and laughter on his lips continued.
Yun Ji's heart was shocked, as if a fish bone was stuck in his throat.
Qi Xuanwen's polite appearance echoed in his mind, and now the person in front of him was like two people in his usual life.
Like...
It's like that's the real him.
said that he had no intention of taking the throne, and he believed it before, but now he doesn't believe it.
How could anyone cry and laugh after his brother's death?
"Third Prince Qi, hurry up."
Yun Ji reminded that Qi Zhao had gone and died in the state of Chu.
Qi Xuan is bound to tell Emperor Qi about this when he goes back, and he needs to prevaricate with a credible reason when he returns.
"Let's go."
Qi Xuan let go of the hand holding Qi Zhao, picked up the sword that Qi Zhao was wearing before his death from the ground, took out a handkerchief and wiped it gently.
The sharp light was on his face, and the handsome face looked gloomy.
"The corpse of the second prince..."
Yun Ji looked at the corpse still lying on the ground, although this was Qi Xuan's housework, and it was inconvenient for him as an outsider to participate, but this person was his brother.
"Since my imperial brother likes the Chu State, let him rest in the Chu State."
The bloodstained handkerchief was gently placed on the line and covered with it.
The afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled, but the people are gone.
