Chapter 264: Substitution
Zhao Yiyan woke up and wanted to find Zhongli, but was told that Zhongli left before dawn, and he immediately called the old butler to prepare horses for him.
even asked Zhong Liyue to come over and chase people with him.
Zhongli felt a little overly worried about entering the capital alone, not to mention that he was not going to the capital now, but a more dangerous enemy country.
But who knows, after Zhong Liyue came in, he knelt down directly towards Zhao Yiyan, saying that he couldn't do it completely.
"Damn, do you know who you're talking to? Do you know what your second brother is doing in Yuanwu? Do you know how dangerous he is? ”
Zhao Yiyan's face was red, if it weren't for Zhong Liyue being Zhong Liyue's younger brother, if it weren't for Zhong Liyue's own talent, he would be eager to let people drag him down and execute him now.
"Danger? Who is not in danger. With all due respect, Zhongli is indeed my second brother, but I am a subordinate of the prince, and I have the responsibility to protect the prince's safety. What's more, the prince is now seriously injured, if he leaves the border city rashly, will it be difficult for the prince to ignore thousands of people? Or does the prince think that my second brother can really take on this responsibility? Or does the prince think that if you chase my second brother back now, my second brother will be grateful to you? ”
No kidding!
If he really went to chase Zhongli back, not only would Zhongli's hard work be in vain, but he would also name the disappearance of the Seventh Princess, and it would also provoke a dispute between the two countries, he ......
Zhao Yiyan clenched his fingers, clenched his teeth, and his eyes were red.
It's because he's useless, it's because he's useless that he hasn't been able to protect Zhongli, otherwise, how could things have turned out like this?
He hurt Zhongli before, and changed her from an immature little girl to what she is now, not to mention, and now he can't protect her well!
What kind of face did he have to ask for her forgiveness? What face could he have to stand in front of Zhongli?
Zhao Yiyan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his dark eyes fell on Zhong Liyue, who was kneeling on one knee, and he spoke in a deep voice.
"Zhong Liyue listens to orders."
Zhong Liyue's heart sank, and he directly clenched his fists and threw his hand towards Zhao Yiyan.
"The last general will obey orders."
"I now order you to implement all your formations in the whole army, and you must achieve the combination of military orders in the shortest possible time, can you do it?"
Zhao Yiyan's voice was particularly heavy when he spoke at the end.
Zhong Liyue gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
"Thank you to the general, the general will never give up."
However, his voice changed and he looked at Zhao Yiyan.
"General, my second brother recommended a few students from the Border City Academy to me before leaving, you see......"
Border City Academy!
Zhao Yiyan waved his hand directly.
"Accurate!"
The Border City Academy has promoted talents exceptionally, most of them are poor people, most of them are all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and they are good at pitting people, and they did what they did when they flew kites outside the city before.
Zhao Yiyan was a little dissatisfied after hearing about it, and disdained to use this kind of petty theft, but was persuaded by Zhongli.
After all, as long as it's not the people of their own country who die, who cares so much?
The villain and the gentleman are only in a thought.
For the people of Yuanwu, those who put the lanterns are full villains, but for the many people of the Apocalypse, they are the heroes who defend the country.
In addition, there are special people in the Border City Academy to teach them a unique military training method, which is just right to match Zhong Liyue.
And just when the two of them were about to say something according to the details, they saw someone rushing over in a hurry outside.
"King Qingyang, King Qingyang, what about Zhongli? What about Zhong Gongzi? ”
Zhao Shan'er's face turned pale, and after she woke up, she knew that this was the Qingyang Palace, so she hurriedly looked for it.
She had just been kidnapped and assassinated in this unfamiliar place, and now she just wanted to find someone who was familiar and sure to protect him.
And here, except for Zhongli, there seems to be no one else.
Not to mention that Zhongli is okay, when Zhongli is mentioned, Zhao Yiyan's face is difficult to look at again.
Zhong Liyue saw that the topic he had just changed was turned around by Zhao Shan'er at this moment, and he suddenly smiled a little helplessly.
"Seventh princess, my brother is not here."
Brother?
Zhao Shan'er turned her head to look at Zhong Liyue, but when she saw Zhong Liyue's face, her eyes widened and she stretched out her hand to point at him.
"You...... You are ......"
The memory of that night was still playing in a loop in her heart, and it was impossible for her to say in her heart that she was not nervous or afraid.
But the more she was like this, she was very impressed by Zhong Liyue, who suddenly appeared and saved her.
Zhong Liyue didn't know what she wanted to say, so he simply looked at her gaze and nodded gently.
"Yes, I am Zhongli Yue, Zhongli's third brother."
It turned out to be Zhongli's younger brother, Zhao Shan'er was originally smiling, but after suddenly seeing the other party's expression, her eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at him a little nervously, staring up and down.
It wasn't until he saw the Adam's apple rolling in Zhong Liyue's throat that he finally determined that this person was a man.
It's really her brother.
"Your sister...... No, what about your brother? Where is she now? ”
Although Zhao Shan'er was grateful to him for saving herself, for her, she still felt that Zhongli was more reliable.
She wanted to find Zhongli to save herself, he didn't want to go to Yuanwu, and she didn't want to marry that old man.
Listening to Zhao Shan'er's slip of the tongue, Zhong Liyue's expression suddenly froze, and Zhao Yiyan, who had just learned about this matter next to him, was faster than Zhong Liyue's movements.
He took three steps and two steps and stepped forward directly, stretched out his arm to clamp Zhao Shan'er's neck, and then glanced at the old housekeeper next to him.
The old housekeeper calmly let everyone go out without saying anything, and even closed the door very intimately when leaving.
"Damn, who did you listen to? Who told you about it? ”
"Things? What's the matter? Put...... Let me go! ”
Zhao Shan'er was uncomfortable being pinched by Zhao Yiyan, reaching out and patting his hand constantly.
Zhao Yiyan frowned and glared at her a little irritably.
And Zhong Liyue, who was next to him, also stood up, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
"Where did you find out about my second brother? Who else knows, say it quickly! ”
He is fierce and vicious, and there is a kind of Zhao Shan'er who said the wrong word and directly killed her.
As long as he thought that someone else might know about it, he wanted to kill them all.
It's just that Zhong Liyue turned his head to look at Zhao Yiyan with deep eyes in his eyes at this time, a little curious and a little cautious.
When did the prince find out? Does the second brother know that the prince already knows her gender? What's next? Resist death and don't admit it? Or do you threaten him, or do you want to lure him?
Just as he was running the train with his mind full, Zhao Shan'er spoke with difficulty.
"Zhongli, Zhongli himself said it. You guys...... If you don't believe me, ask yourselves. ”
Zhao Yiyan tightened his hand a little more.
"You talk nonsense!"
Zhongli was the most cautious, he had never shown any traces in front of him, how could he tell Zhao Shan'er such an important matter?
What if Zhao Shan'er accidentally told the emperor?
"I'm going to ...... I asked her to marry me, and she said......"
After Zhao Yiyan and Zhong Liyue glanced at each other, they turned their heads and let go of Zhao Shan'er's hand.
Zhao Shan'er frowned, lowered her head and kept patting her chest, panting heavily.
"Who else did you tell?"
Zhao Yiyan stared at Zhao Shan'er tightly with a gloomy face, and continued to ask questions with a gloomy face.
Zhao Shan'er was stared at tightly by two pairs of tigerish eyes, where did she dare to say anything else, her body trembled slightly, and she spoke softly.
"No, no one."
She wanted to say it at the time, but she didn't expect that the words would change their meaning after they reached her mouth, and how could he still bear it when he heard such a shocking thing?
Zhao Yiyan looked at her with heavy eyes, and then pulled the corners of his lips coldly.
"If I know there are other answers to this matter, I will let you know what it means to live rather than die."
Zhao Shan'er was frightened by the gloomy gaze, she couldn't help but take a few steps back, and shrank a little, but she still mustered up the courage to look at Zhao Yiyan.
"What about Zhongli? Where is she now? I want to see her. ”
These people are so scary, compared to them, Zhongli is the best for her.
Zhao Shan'er is also glad in her heart now, and fortunately she didn't tell Zhongli's true identity to others at the beginning, otherwise she would definitely be devoured by them.
"Why do you think you're here now? Don't forget, you are the seventh princess, and you are the person designated by the emperor to go to Yuanwu to marry. ”
Zhong Liyue thought of the second brother whose life and death were unknown now, and he felt a heart-wrenching pain in his heart, and he didn't speak with a little anger.
Zhao Shan'er looked at them a little confused.
"How...... What's wrong? ”
Why do they all stare at themselves with hateful eyes? I want to marry Yuanwu's people, but I don't want to? It's all fathers!
The long-term fear made her head blank, and tears of grievance fell down her cheeks.
"What's wrong? Because the reason you're here is because someone went to Yuanwu instead of you. ”
Zhong Liyue gritted his teeth and explained.
And Zhao Yiyan had clenched his fists silently.
Zhao Shan'er took a few steps back, looking at them coldly, only to suddenly realize that they looked at her with such hatred.
At this time, Zhongli was sitting in the sedan chair in the Yuanwu military camp, listening to Wang Shilang and the people, and he didn't say a word.
Although Wan Qiming knew that Zhongli had found someone to replace the Seventh Princess, he didn't know who it was, and he didn't see anyone, but he really didn't find Zhongli at a glance, and thought that Zhongli had defected.
But when Wang Shilang asked the seventh princess to get off the sedan chair, when he saw Zhongli coming out of the sedan chair, Wan Qiming's eyes widened even though he was calm, and he gasped.
The person in front of him is seven points similar to Zhongli, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are much softer than Zhongli's, and his face is slightly covered with a layer of powder, and his porcelain white face is flushed, which looks very cute.
He tentatively walked over and whispered.
"Zhongli?"
