Two hundred miles east of Changcheng, there is a valley, called Luodeng, since the end of the first emperor, Xiao Yu has been living in seclusion here.

Xiao Di found it all the way here, and stood in front of Xiao Yumen for a long time, but he didn't have enough courage to enter the door.

"Your Highness," Wei Chaoyang took the flying pigeon and came over to greet him one step later: "My subordinates just got the news from Gu Hou that something happened to the princess on the way back to Beijing. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Di's face changed, and he looked at him with a dumbfounded eye.

Wei Chaoyang hurriedly relieved him first: "Don't worry, the princess is fine, and Mr. Yiyuan and the others are fine." Just ......"

Leaving Beilin for only a hundred miles, Princess Chu and her entourage encountered an assassination, Gu Zijun led people to fight with the other party, quite invincible, almost had to explain at the moment, but at the critical moment, he killed one person in the air, fought with the thief leader for a while, and finally ended up with the same end.

After the dust settled, Gu Zijun stepped forward to inspect it, only to know that the thief was Pan Quan, who had been missing for a long time.

As for the one who saves people, it is Bu Fei.

"Bu Fei is dead?!" Xiao Di listened to everything, and became more and more surprised: "Pan Quan is also dead?" ”

Wei Chaoyang bowed his head, "That's what Gu Hou said in his letter. But...... These two people died together, and no clues were found in Pan Cheng and his men, so it is unknown whether he was single-handedly assassinated or ordered by others. ”

How can it be a one-man effort.

Not to mention that when Shufan County was in Shufan County, someone rescued him, let's just say that this time, Pei Yaowei left Beilin for only a hundred miles, and he dared to kill the general...... If it weren't for the reliance behind him, with his neat temperament, he would not be so reckless.

Xiao Di thought like this, but he didn't put more effort into this person, and after pondering for a while, he asked rather uneasily: "What did Bu Fei say before he died?" ”

Wei Chaoyang was stunned, "...... Gu Hou didn't deliberately mention it, thinking that there was nothing. He said tentatively: "Your Highness, forgive your subordinates, what are you worried about?" ”

Xiao Di didn't answer, but his eyes deepened. With a deep sigh, he stepped forward and personally knocked on Xiao Yu's courtyard door.

Xiao Yu lost a lot of weight.

Or, more accurately, emaciated.

The two of them haven't seen each other for many years, and Xiao Yu is only twenty-five years old this year, and it stands to reason that these years should be the time to grow in size, but Xiao Di looked at the person in a wheelchair, but felt that he was now described as completely unsightly compared to when he was seventeen or eighteen years old.

"It's just a humble room, although it's not the Three Treasures, but the third brother came to see me at this time, and it won't be okay if you want to come."

Xiao Yu smiled with his eyebrows, turned the hand stove in his arms, and asked him, "Have you been to Changcheng?" ”

Attack Changcheng.

As soon as he mentioned these three words, a trace of coldness appeared in Xiao Di's eyes.

"The eldest princess of Rong Xuan is under house arrest for her husband Chongjun Hou Shen - this king, who is a younger brother, only dares to pass through the door and not enter now." As he spoke, he changed his words and said firmly: "But Ah Yu, you are probably different." ”

Xiao Yu was also calm, seeing that he knew that Shen was indeed included in his own faction, he had no intention of hiding it with him, and only said: "Since the third brother can see it, why do you still want to come to see me?"

Don't you know how to write the four words 'sheep into the tiger's mouth'?

Or are you going to talk to me about brotherhood and persuade me to 'turn back'? ”

Xiao Di calmly asked, "Can't you?" ”

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, as if judging whether he was joking or serious.

Xiao Di said again: "Uncle Ning Wang is still in Lingcheng, once you and Xiang Tao and Shen Cheng make a move, he will suffer first." As a son of man, are you really ruthless? ”

Xiao Yu didn't speak.

Xiao Di wanted to see a little flaw in his face, but after spending a long time, he found nothing.

It's as if he really doesn't care, and it's like...... He had all the plans, but he had no intention of talking to anyone.

He didn't say anything, Xiao Di didn't ask, paused, and said: "Ah Yu, Uncle Wang has already told me everything you encountered with General Gongsun back then. I know that the first emperor is sorry for you, sorry for Ning Wangfu, but you ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Yu.

"What do you know?" He asked, "Third brother, do you really know your father?" ”

Xiao Di was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, and did not speak.

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "You say I'm ruthless, but whether I'm ruthless or not, it's all forced out by Xiao Jingze, if you really want to be ruthless, who can be ruthless against him?" Now, I'm just following the example. ”

This time, Xiao Di was silent for a moment and spoke.

"I know how ruthless he is." He bowed his head slightly and whispered, "I know." ”

Xiao Yu just laughed.

He said: "Do you know that after Pan Jie's subordinates killed General Gongsun, they had enough opportunity to take my life, but just when I was about to die and was seriously injured, the people of the Secret Guard of the First Emperor appeared. ”

"His people were ordered to save me at that time, third brother, do you know why?"

Xiao Di was silent for a long time, and Fang said that he knew.

He knew that the first emperor deliberately left Xiao Yu's life in order to hold King Ning hostage, and to seriously injure him was to cut off his path from Rong and cut off the threat on him.

"It's good to know." Xiao Yu took a deep breath and closed his eyes, "Your father has harmed me so far, I have no other way but to return a tooth for a tooth." ”

"He is the emperor, as long as his descendants ascend the throne, no matter whether you are still exiled, it is impossible to overthrow him and disobey him. I can't help it, third brother, don't blame me. ”

When the words landed, he stroked his palm three times, and for a while, the guards hidden inside and outside the small courtyard poured out, detaining Xiao Di and the people he brought.

In Beijing, the day after Pei Yaowei and his party returned to the dusty capital, Zhao Yan went out to Lingcheng.

“…… Sister-in-law, sister-in-law? ”

On this day, Xiao Yunlai told her about the other side of Yuze Palace, and was talking about Xiao chasing down Concubine Qin Shu as a concubine and burying her in the future.

He called twice, and she came back to her senses and asked in a daze, "What?" ”

Xiao Yun sighed and said with relief: "I said don't worry, Mr. Yiyuan—well, it should be the Marquis of Lingqiu."

Hou Ye and Uncle Ning Wang are old friends, and if the elder brother can still come back safely under Uncle Wang, Hou Ye will be fine. Maybe when he mentions the inside story of his disappearance in the early years, he can persuade Uncle Wang and Xiang Tao to part ways as he wishes. ”

Pei Yao smiled. She didn't worry much about Zhao Pai's safety in Lingcheng, what she was thinking about in her heart was the decisive battle between Bu Fei and Pan Cheng at that time, and the picture of seeing blood with a knife.

Xiao Yun observed for a long time, and was blessed to his heart, "Sister-in-law, are you still sad about Bu Fei's brother?" ”

This time, Pei Yao sighed.

"He has been loyal to me Pei in this life, I didn't expect to be able to reunite with him in the next life, let alone ...... I wanted to set him free, but he still died for me after all......"

And before he died, when he was still breathless, she always felt that he had something to say to herself, but in the end, she still didn't have time to say it......

Bu Fei, what exactly do you want to tell yourself?

Xiao Yun still remembered that Bu Fei had protected him all the way to Linyuan, and he didn't expect that many years later, his revenge for killing his brother would be avenged by him.

"Brother Bu Fei is a loyal person, and now his body is sent back to Shaofang for burial, which can be regarded as a return to his homeland and a return to his roots."

The two were talking, but they saw the rain hurrying over.

"Niangniang, little prince!" She said, "Sir is back!" Other than that...... On the Lingcheng side, something happened. ”

Hearing this, Pei Yao's heart jumped fiercely, but she didn't speak calmly, Xiao Yun frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Instant Rain's voice was a little quieter: "His Royal Highness King Ning was assassinated last night, and now, it has already been ......."

"What?! …… Who did this to you? ”

Instant Yu shook his head: "Let's talk back in Lingcheng's eyeliner, saying that Lingcheng has been calm recently, and there is nothing wrong with it, and the origin of the assassin is really impossible to explore." ”

Xiao Yun was stunned, but he saw that Pei Yao was not moving, and even though there was sadness on his face, he didn't see any surprise.

"Sister-in-law, you ...... Aren't you surprised? ”

Pei Yaowei snorted lightly, as if she was smiling, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were more ugly than crying.

"What is there to be surprised about." She said: "Yun'er, you also think about it, Xiao Yu and Xiang Tao are in the south, and they are about to raise troops when they see it, why is Uncle Ning still in Lingcheng?" ”

Xiao Yun was stunned.

Pei Yaowei continued: "When you start an army, you always have a reason. Uncle Ning's life is the best reason, but it's just ......"

Although she had such speculations before, she didn't dare to believe that King Ning's father and son could sit so far.

At the beginning of the tenth year of Yan Ping, King Xiao of Ning was in the palace, and the concubine Pan was martyred. From time to time, it is rumored that King Yun was assassinated by the Dark Guard. Not long after, the prince Xiao Yu met the party with the prince of Jiyang County, and the Hou Shen of Chongjun, and raised an incident in the south, called the Qingjun side.

In the afternoon of this day, Pei Yao went out to incense, and as soon as she returned to the house, she saw Qingchen waiting in front of the door, and greeted her as soon as she saw her, "Niangniang!" You're back! ”

"Didn't you say you were asked to call your sister?" Pei Yao said, following her into the door, "What are you waiting here for?" ”

Qingchen tugged at her sleeve, stopped her steps, and whispered in her ear: "Sister, someone is in the palace." ”

"In the palace?" She was stunned, "The queen mother? ”

Qingchen shook his head, "It's the chief manager named Sun Zhifang, who said that he was ordered by the emperor to go to Yuze Palace to meet you." ”

Sun Zhifang......

How did he come in person?

Xiao Chai wants to see himself at this time...... What could it be for?

In the main hall, when Sun Zhifang saw her enter the door, he quickly got up and saluted, and Pei Yao also returned the salute: "Why did my father-in-law come suddenly?" In the past two days, for the sake of King Ning's affairs, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was sad, and went to the outskirts of the city to relax, and King Huai'an went to the mausoleum to be busy with the funeral, and he was not in the house. ”

"Where's the princess!" Sun Zhifang went straight to the point: "The old slave is here on order, Your Majesty has decreed that the princess will see you in the Yuze Palace, and please let the princess go with the old slave quickly!" ”
