The night was full of wind and snow, and at dawn, a group of knights galloped out of the Taicheng, and not long after, a group of soldiers and horses followed in a mighty manner, and the sound of sudden movement once again alarmed the entire Jiankang City.

On December 25 of the seventh year of Xiankang, this is a day that can be remembered for hundreds of years, the wind and clouds in Taicheng are mighty, soldiers and horses gather, sometimes the sound of killing shakes the sky, sometimes the sound of horses' hooves vibrates constantly, most of the scholars of Jiankang City are closed, ignoring it, just sitting at home cooking wine and tasting tea, as if it is just the joys and sorrows of another world, which can not affect the willfulness and open-mindedness and indulgence of those noble disciples in the wealthy families.

The celebrities of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had an extremely clear understanding of the war and the pain of precarious death coming at any time, and they were accustomed to indulging themselves in the self-created world, intoxicated and confused, so the more danger approached, the more they could arouse their indulgence in time to have fun.

Huan Che grabbed the reins, and kept whipping the horse almost at the speed of an arrow to Guyu City, and the sound of the horse's hooves behind him was getting closer and closer, and the sound was earth-shattering.

"Lang Jun, it seems that someone is catching up behind." Ah Yu couldn't help but glance back, and said, "It seems to be Xie Qilangjun and Gu Shiyi Niang." ”

Huan Che's face changed slightly, but he only said: "Don't worry about them." ”

"But Lang Jun ......" Ah Yu seemed to be unwilling in his heart, bit his lip and said, "Lang Jun, what's the trouble, you have repeatedly saved her life, but what about her?" ”

"I'm the one who took her first." Huan Che replied indifferently, and said, "Now that I have experienced the pain of being a person, I can't bear it a second time." ”

After speaking, he shouted loudly: "Strategy! ”

The horses continued to gallop forward, but in most of the day, they had arrived at the city, and the guards in front of the city gate were still standing with halberds, but the atmosphere was strange and not like before.

As soon as Huan Che arrived, the guards immediately opened the gates of the city and knelt on the ground.

"Slaves greet Rokuro-kun."

Huan Che rushed into the city gate, and ordered all the soldiers at the city gate: "No one else is allowed to enter the city gate, and whoever enters the city will be killed." ”

"Yes!"

After Huan Che galloped into the city, he went straight into the general's mansion, at that time, in Huan Wen's bedroom, Huan Wen's whole person had been lying on the sick collapse without moving, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, only the slight rise and fall of his chest showed that he was still alive, Li was sitting in front of the collapse and wiped the sweat beads for him, but his expression was no longer the delicate and gentle before, but a happy face.

Steeply, Huan Wen's eyes widened, and one hand grabbed Li's wrist tightly, and asked, "Where is Che'er?" Did he come back? And what about my son Huanxi and Huanji? ”

Li Shi smiled and said: "Don't worry, general, Che'er is realizing the ideal of the emperor's revolution and Kuangtu's great cause for the general?" As for Bo Dao and Zhong Dao, didn't the general deny them as sons a long time ago? Since they are already outcasts, why not let them pave the way for Che'er? ”

"Lee, why are you doing this? How have I treated you all these years? ”

Li stood up and said with a coquettish smile: "The general treats the concubine well, but the general is also the concubine's enemy of the country, the concubine was originally a princess, and the person she married should be the hero of the world, and the most famous young talent in my Shu Kingdom, it was the general who ruined the life of the concubine." ”

"So, you've been looking for an opportunity to get revenge on me." After that, he asked, "Is Che'er my son?" ”。

The corners of Li's lips curved slightly, and she smiled even more charmingly, and while Huan Wen was waiting, her extremely soft voice came: "The general knows it, so why do you need to ask again?" ”

One sentence made De Huan Wen's heart cold, and his face became extremely pale, he exerted all his strength to reach out and grope the edge of the bed, as if he wanted to stand up with his strength, but his body only moved an inch, and he fell down with a bang.

Huan Che walked in at this time, and ran to Huan Wen's collapse, wanting to help him up, but Huan Wen grabbed his hand tightly, and the resentment in a pair of purple eyes shot towards Huan Che like a shock.

"Che'er, what about your eldest brother and second brother? What happened in Jiankang City? Huan Wen asked.

Huan Che hesitated for a moment before replying: "The eldest brother and the second brother launched a mutiny and plotted rebellion, and they were suppressed by the Beifu soldiers brought by Xie Qilangjun and Shen Qian, and now they ...... has been captured by the imperial court. ”

"Beifu soldiers?" Hearing these three words, Li's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly walked up to Huan Che, stroked his hands on him randomly, and asked urgently, "Are you okay with that Che'er, did they hurt you, did you get hurt?" ”

Huan Che didn't answer, but Huan Wen's angry shout was already heard in his ears: "Then why did you come back?" ”

Huan Che felt guilty, his knees weakened, and he knelt down in front of Huan Wen's bed.

"I'm sorry, father." He said.

"You, your mother and son, ......" Huan Wen struggled to collapse, as if trying to pull out the sword hanging by the wall.

Li Shi panicked, and hurriedly pulled Huan Che and said: "Che'er, you get up, it was Bo Dao and Zhong Dao who rebelled and were captured, what do you have to do with it?" Besides, he is not your father, and there is no need for you to kneel down to him and do your filial piety to him. ”

It seemed that he didn't expect Li to say such a sentence, Huan Che's expression changed abruptly, and he looked at Li with some indifference and disbelief,

At this time, there was a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in his ears again, but Huan Wen fell directly to the ground when he collapsed.

Huan Che pushed Li away again, knelt in front of Huan Wen, helped him up again, and said, "Father! ”

Huan Wen's eyes opened sharply, and a pair of hands suddenly stretched out and strangled Huan Che's neck tightly.

Li Shi was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down in front of the two, holding Huan Wen's hand, while crying and begging: "General, Che'er is innocent, it's all my fault that you let Che'er go, you let him go." ”

I don't know if it was Li's crying that played a role, Huan Wen had tears in his eyes, and his hand gradually loosened, looking at this son who had been close to him for several years, he suddenly asked: "Che'er, are you still surnamed Huan now?" ”

Tears also oozed from Huan Che's eyes.

"My son will always be surnamed Huan, and my son has always been proud of being his father's son, and he only hates ......"

Before he finished the rest of his words, he saw that Huan Wen had closed his eyes, but one hand was caressing his arm, and the person became stiff and motionless.

Li tried to probe his snort with his hand, and after a while, he couldn't help but show joy on his face, and hurriedly pulled Huan Che and said: "Che'er, quickly, he is dead, your first responsibility now is to immediately control the soldiers and horses in Guyu City, take charge of Xifu, take over the position of the head of the Huan family, and then we will force the Son of Heaven to take the throne." ”

Seeing that there was no sadness on Li's face, but a look of joy and joy, Huan Che suddenly felt ashamed and sad, brushed Li away, and asked sharply: "Don't you feel ashamed of what you have done in your heart?" ”

Li looked horrified, and looked at his son with tears: "What does Che'er mean by this?" Are you blaming your mother? Everything I do is for you, and you think I'm doing it wrong? ”

"Everything you do is for yourself!" Huan Che suddenly roared, calmed down and asked, "Is my father's illness because of you?" According to the trajectory of his previous life, his father would not have died so early, did you do something to him? ”

Li Shi didn't answer, but the look on his face already admitted all this.

Huan Che suddenly laughed coldly: "It's really self-inflicted, I can't live, with a mother like you, it's no wonder that God won't favor me." ”

"Che'er, what are you talking about?" Seeing his expression, Li also seemed to be scared.

"Nothing, I mean your plan has failed, I will never become an emperor, and once my father dies, my Huan's prestige will be greatly reduced, and I will not have a chance in the future."

After Huan Che finished speaking, he carefully moved Huan Wen's body to the bed, then covered the mattress, and walked towards the bedroom door.

Li Shi took his hand steeply and said, "Che'er, we still have a chance!" After that, she solemnly added, "Your Majesty is in our hands." ”

As soon as her words fell, the expression on Huan Che's face suddenly froze, and he looked at Li again incredibly, and at this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Mrs. Li, Huan Liulangjun, thousands of soldiers and horses have gathered outside the city gate, and people have said that if Mrs. Li does not hand over His Majesty, they will immediately attack the city gate." ”

Li sneered and asked, "Who is coming?" What a big breath, my aunt has strong soldiers and horses in the city, and the strategists are like clouds, how can he say that he can attack it. ”

"It's Shen Sikong and Xie Qilangjun." The soldier replied.

Hearing Shen Sikong's three words, Li's expression changed, and the corners of his mouth immediately raised a slight smile.

"Shen Sikong? That is, that Gu Shi Niang? Li said, "Okay, then you go and tell her, if she wants to see Your Majesty, then ask her to come to the city in person, and I will let them meet." ”

"Yes!"

The soldier was about to leave, and Huan Che gave a steep order: "Slow! He looked at Li again and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Li Shi said: "Che'er, if you like her, your mother will not object to you now, take this opportunity, you can keep her here as a hostage, and Che'er can also get what she wants." ”

"I don't need to. Where have you hidden your majesty? ”

"Mother hid him in ......" In the middle of the sentence, Li's face changed suddenly, and he asked again, "What does Che'er want to do?" ”

Huan Che didn't answer, and Li said: "Che'er is also scheming with her mother now, but this time her mother won't listen to you, because Gu Shiniang, how many opportunities have you missed, and this time, your mother will never lose this opportunity again." ”

After that, he ordered the soldier, "Go, tell Gu Shiniang that she is only allowed to enter the city alone, otherwise I will kill Your Majesty." ”
