Thankfully, there is a town not far ahead.

When he came to the contact point of Dongchang and was about to lead the horse away, a harrier eagle suddenly came and handed him a secret letter: "My lord, the capital urgently reports the secret." ”

Yan Yu had a bad premonition, and hurriedly opened the letter, and when he saw the words on the secret letter, he couldn't help but change his face greatly, and he didn't even care about speaking, turned over his horse, and quickly rushed to the outside of the town.

The content of the secret report: 'The holy dragon is sick, return quickly!'

Running on the official road, his mind was still full of doubts, the emperor is about fifty now, he has all kinds of treasures to nourish his body, and he had many battles in his early years, and his health should be good.

Why did you ...... all of a sudden?

"Could it be that the emperor has not attacked the eldest prince because he has known about this for a long time?

All kinds of thoughts were dangling in his head, but he couldn't make an accurate conclusion.

Although he couldn't understand this, Yan Yu knew that the eldest prince would definitely be unwilling to be lonely, which was probably an important reason why Liu Fu and others secretly ordered him to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

But then again, now that most of the forces of Dongchang are in the palace, there is absolutely no way to successfully usurp the throne with the manpower of the Jinyi Guard in the capital alone.

So, if the eldest prince were to do it, what would he do?

Don't forget that he is still guarding filial piety in the Imperial Mausoleum, and the Imperial Mausoleum is behind the Forbidden Palace.

......

The emperor put down the fold and was about to get up, but suddenly his face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Help me up." ”

"Master, you are not in good health, you should cultivate more. Liu Fu stepped forward as he said, took his hand, carefully lifted him up from the dragon chair, and persuaded him softly.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, people always have to get old. The emperor looked at it quite openly, and smiled indifferently.

In just a few months, it was as if the emperor had changed his face, his cheeks sunken and his eyes darkened.

Compared with before, the body has lost a lot of weight, and the dragon robe that used to be decent has a feeling of emptiness when worn on the body.

As he stood up, faint spots on the back of his hands and loose skin could be faintly seen.

If it is said before, it can be called old and strong, and the tiger is still there. Right now...... The emperor seems to be really old, if it weren't for the dragon robe to defend the crown, he would be no different from an old man on the street.

Liu Fu said in a low voice: "Master, our family has issued a secret order, and Yan Yu will return to Beijing in a few days." ”

"Where is King Ping?" the Emperor frowned.

Liu Fu replied: "Harrier Eagle secretly reported that some time ago, Yan Yu killed a total of seventy-five members of the King of Ping's family overnight, and they were all over the house, and their heads were still on the road, and they would arrive in a few days. ”

"Good. Good. As if returning to the light, a little ruddy appeared on the emperor's face, and his dim eyes also shone a little brighter at this moment.

The corners of Liu Fu's mouth trembled, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Master, our family ......"

"I know what you're going to say. ”

As soon as the words began, the emperor tightened his hands, shook his head lightly and said, "Zhu Li is still young, I can't bury my Ming dynasty because of my personal desires." ”

"But, but...... Great, "

As he walked, the emperor said, "Although the eldest prince has done such evil things, he is the only son of Li'er.

Maybe he is not a Ming Jun, but at least he will not be a faint Jun, and he will not be set up by the sergeant clan of the court, so that he will ruin my Ming Dynasty.

It was also my fault, in order to polish his temperament, I didn't let him participate in the court, but it backfired and led him astray, so as to make such a mistake.

My body, I know it.

Instead of lingering, it is better to take this opportunity to clear all obstacles for him, whether it is infamy or penmanship, let me take all these things away. ”

Liu Fu's body stiffened slightly, his face was already full of tears, he choked up several times, Fang swallowed the words in his mouth, and silently lowered his head: "Master, you will definitely get better." ”

"Heh......"

The emperor smiled, let go of his hand, turned around and calmly looked at the dragon chair and table in front of him, his eyes gradually fell, and he placed it on the jade seal of Zhenguo, which symbolized the fortune of the country.

"I believe that my Ming Dynasty will last for thousands of years, and everything will be prosperous forever!"

"Yes, we believe it too. Liu Fu agreed, but the worry in his eyes became more and more intense.

In a trance, Liu Fu seemed to see again the emperor who had just ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, with a tall posture and scolded Fang Xuan......

Imperial Tomb.

The eldest prince, as always, got up and dressed, washed and cooked.

That's right, cooking.

In the past, everything was served by his subordinates, but now everything needs to be done by himself.

Suddenly, his body shook slightly, staring at the finger-thick, inch-long wooden strips on the stove, his eyes flashing with essence.

Seeing that there was no one around, he crushed the wooden strips, revealing the silk cloth wrapped in dense wax inside.

The silk cloth unfolded, revealing two lines of small characters: 'The emperor's dragon body is sick, and his days are short. The Lord needs to prepare for the great things to come. ’

"It's been four months. ”

The eldest prince threw the silk cloth into the stove and muttered in his heart.

He spread out his hands and stared at the cocoons that had been ground out of the joints of his palms, all the traces left by months of work.

Suddenly, the eldest prince rubbed his cheeks violently, feeling the roughness that he had never felt before.

The killing intent in his eyes was as turbulent as the sea.

......

More than a dozen days have passed.

Yan Yu was full of wind and frost, with a thick exhaustion on his face, turned over and dismounted, walked into an abandoned grass hut, and began to light a fire.

This place is still 300 miles away from the capital, if you rest for a while, and rush overnight, you should be able to return to the capital at noon tomorrow.

Call~

Yan Yu took a breath of hot air, rubbed his hands, took out an iron box, dug up a box of snow outside the house, and roasted it on the fire. Then he took out the dry food from his bag.

Breaking open the cold and hard dry food, Yan Yu gobbled up the snow water and stuffed it into his mouth, he hadn't eaten hot food for two days, and the hot water entered his stomach, and suddenly there was a sense of warmth.

These days are spent on horseback, and if he is not at the limit, he will not be able to find a place to rest.

Click......

The sound of branches breaking was piercing in the silence.

Yan Yu raised his head when he heard the sound, and immediately made a mistake in his feet, and the whole person leaned back almost to the ground.

In an instant, several black rays of light flew past the tip of his nose, and the arrow sank into the wall, and the tail of the arrow buzzed and trembled.

"There's an order from above, my lord...... You are not allowed to enter Beijing. ”

More than a dozen brocade guards emerged from everywhere, armed with swords and armor, and slowly approached.

Yan Yu stuffed the last piece of dry food into his mouth, picked up the iron box and poured a mouthful of hot water, feeling the warmth emanating from his body.

He stood up and stretched, looked at these unscrupulous guys, and said in a loud voice, "If I were you, I wouldn't be so careless." ”

"Hehe, it's hard to beat ...... with two fists"

"Poof. ”

Four crossbow arrows, shot from his wrist as he stretched his waist. Precisely into the throats of two people.

Yan Yu leaned over and drew his sword, stepped out, and brought out a silver dragon, which instantly swept over a person's neck.

PS: I've got the badge of the outbreak, and I'll resume three daily shifts in the future.
