Chapter 263: Once upon a time, I held a grudge

Shi Chongrui has been a noble heir with a golden spoon since he was born, just by virtue of his father Shi Jingjiao's great military exploits back then, as the eldest son Shi Chongrui was born, even the emperor at that time came to Shi Jingjiao's mansion to congratulate him.

It is such a young master who was born with an extraordinary and noble label, he has lived a good life of fine clothes and food since he was a child, and he has a good life of smooth sailing.

To anyone, it is already a great yin virtue accumulated in the previous life to be able to go so smoothly in life, and it should be very grateful, and it is cherished for a good life.

However, for Shi Chongrui, who pursues perfection, he is still not satisfied with this, and deeply blames his dissatisfaction on Shi Lixun's existence.

Although the two of them are cousins who have grown up since childhood, I don't know when Shi Chongrui regarded him as his brother and an enemy.

Indeed, Shi Lixun is much more capable than himself, just from the perspective of leading troops to fight and using force and strategy, Shi Chongrui himself is very impressed with his cousin.

If you really want to talk about it, what can be compared is that Shi Chongrui has a face that is more beautiful than his cousin, and knows a lot of pleasure tricks.

So from the perspective of his father's attitude, in fact, Shi Jingjiao still prefers Shi Lixun more, and due to his father's reasons, since he was a child, Shi Chongrui also had to give three points to Shi Lixun.

From the perspective of outsiders, this kind of courtesy is understandable, not to mention that Shi Lixun has never been arrogant for more than half of it, and the brotherly etiquette that should be there is also no half of it.

It's just a narrow-minded person who never thinks seriously about how to learn to respect each other.

Even in this situation, Shi Chongrui still felt that he was being heavily pressed by his radiant cousin, and gradually he regarded this as inferior, which was Shi Lixun's humiliation to him.

Originally, this hostility could still be restrained and hidden. But one day later, Shi Chongrui's favorite concubine was killed in public by his father, and it happened that the concubine only insulted his damned brother because of his words.

This made it a taboo for the entire Shifu to talk about Shi Lixun during that time, and it became an extremely dangerous thing that would push him to the forefront, even if he was a big prince, that concubine was a bloody case.

It was during that time that Shi Chongrui's resentment, jealousy, and disgust for Shi Lixun were suppressed and fermented, and his inner demons and nightmares entangled him, until later Shi Chongrui made a heavy oath - he must kill Shi Lixun in this life.

As for later, Shi Lixun took the initiative to ask Shi Jingjiao, and successfully left Hedong, which was under the jurisdiction of Shi Jingjiao, and went to Chang'an to become a general of the Imperial Forest Army, intending to develop in the northwest.

As for the reason, it is because Shi Chongrui is really not smart, or terrifyingly stupid. He will deliberately reveal his hatred for Shi Lixun, and has sent killers to "assassinate" Shi Lixun more than once.

It has always been said that "paper can't hold fire", but like this kind of open-minded murder, as long as you are not deaf and mute in Shi Jingjiao's mansion, you know it clearly. If it weren't for the fact that he was facing his eldest son, Shi Jingjiao might have hacked Shi Chongrui alive and thrown him out to feed the dogs.

Therefore, Shi Lixun's petition to take the initiative to go to Chang'an to be a general also coincided with Shi Jingjiao's wishes, and successfully brought long-lost stability to Shifu.

In the next year or two, Shi Chongrui either focused on his daughter's belly, or was forced by his father to find his princess wife who had not passed the door, in short, there was something to do, and his obsession with Shi Lixun was reduced a lot.

His father, Shi Jingjiao, saw that things could at least come down like this, so he also put his mind on border management, and he took less and less care of him.

Of course, it has decreased a lot, but it doesn't mean that there is no, from beginning to end Shi Chongrui is still thinking about how to kill his cousin, but it's a pity that he has been at the feet of the emperor for the next few years, and it is a place where his own forces can't reach, which makes Shi Chongrui a little worried, and once made him not even have a good taste, and finally he only installed various eyeliners in Chang'an to monitor Shi Lixun, and there was nothing else to do.

Waiting has always been for those who have a chance, and after a few years of such a muddy mess, Shi Chongrui suddenly got the news that Shi Lixun was named the general of the chariot and cavalry, and went to the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion on behalf of the Son of Heaven to attend the appointment of the new governor.

This is great news for Shi Chongrui, because it means that Shi Lixun will leave the comfort zone of Chang'an and go to the dangerous Northwest Desert, not to mention whether he has a chance or not, the harsh living environment there alone may kill his old enemy.

Shi Chongrui, who heard the news, was of course overjoyed, and at the same time, in order to completely eliminate Shi Lixun, he used his noble identity and inexhaustible treasures, gold and silver, recruited a large number of strange people from the rivers and lakes, and incorporated them as his staff, and took advantage of his father's military drills to take these staff members to the northwest, and planned to intercept and kill Shi Lixun halfway.

What made Shi Chongrui even more pleased was that just a few days after he set off, he received news that Shi Lixun led a guard of honor of 500 people to break into the plateau frontier alone, and tracked down the culprit who had recently broken more than a dozen towns.

After getting this news, Shi Chongrui ordered his subordinates to secretly drive to Fengxiang City, because he expected to run back and forth on the plateau, and Shi Lixun, who lacked supplies, was not eaten by beasts and monsters, so he must return to Fengxiang City for supplies.

After waiting for less than half a day, although Shi Lixun didn't wait, he waited for a few soldiers of the Royal Forest Army who fled in embarrassment.

With the skills of his subordinates, he successfully captured them and tortured them, and finally learned that these Imperial Forest Army was attacked by Yelang soldiers, and the team of five hundred people was instantly beaten to the point that there were less than ten people left and hurriedly escaped, and even the main general Shi Lixun was trapped on the plateau without supplies.

After hearing this, Shi Chongrui really felt that he was being illuminated by Fuxing, and the good news really came wave after wave, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.

Originally, he was more or less afraid of Shi Lixun's five hundred cavalry, but now with God's help, Shi Lixun is only weak, maybe some horse bandits can help him get rid of the hatred in his heart.

Therefore, in order to block the news, the overjoyed Shi Chongrui simply killed all these royal forest soldiers immediately, and couldn't wait to announce his existence to the city lord of Fengxiang City.

This is the reason why Li Yin and others rushed to Fengxiang City at night and found that its city gates were wide open and business travelers were weaving.
