The sound of breaking the air sounded, and a silver glittering delicate and small dart was inserted on the table, and the person with the wrench quickly withdrew his hand, and the dart was between his hand and the wrench.

The four of them turned around in unison, and behind them stood six people who were also dressed in black night clothes, and the two sides faced each other, their eyes were as sharp as swords, and even the air became thin.

Either their own people are enemies, for their respective tasks, the two anti-people and horses are quickly entangled, the sound of fists and feet, and the sound of swords hitting each other sounded in the hall.

The wind brought by the fast-moving figure gently swayed the candle flame, and Chu Junxi lay quietly on the table as if he was asleep, unaware of the fight around him, and the flickering candlelight flickered on him.

As quiet as Chu Junxi was the green jade wrench, the ring-shaped wrench casting a small shadow on the table under the candlelight.

The sound of the sword cutting through the skin, ruddy blood beads splashed, and fell on the wrench impartially, dyeing the cyan wrench red, and the faint smell of blood diffused in the hall.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the familiar tent in front of him, his head was a little dizzy, Chu Junxi reached out and rubbed his temples, turned over and got up, and sat on the bed in shock after seeing the scene in the house.

The tables and chairs in the room were overturned and broken, and there were traces of blood on the ground, although there were no corpses, Chu Junxi was sure that there had just been a fight here.

I slept here, and if there was a fight, why didn't I hear it? No, when did you go to bed last night?

Chu Junxi frowned, as if he could still smell the sweet and greasy smell of blood in the air, he dodged the blood stains on the ground and came to the table, after a night of time, the blood stains on his fingers had already dried up, but Chu Junxi stared at the blood stains on it and could not move away.

Thinking of Lin Jikuo's look when he heard the wrench yesterday, Chu Junxi was sure that those people came for this thing last night, but why was the wrench not taken away and still placed on the table?

Just when Chu Jun was puzzled, Yuan Yongyan walked in.

Yuan Yongyan's tall figure stood at the door of the main hall against the light, the warm light of the early morning sun plated him with a golden coat, his eyes were as bright as stars and gems, and his handsome face was as beautiful as a fairy in the sky in the soft light of the early morning.

When Chu Junxi first saw him, she was attracted by his clear eyes that seemed to see through everything, and at this moment she stared at Yuan Yongyan's eyes in a daze, standing there motionless.

Yuan Yongyan sat down on the stool, ignoring the broken tables and chairs in the room and the slightest trace of blood, and he said, "Let's make a deal." ”

Chu Junxi seemed to be awakened by his low and steady voice, his expression was a little flustered, and his face was slightly red, but he quickly calmed down, "Were you who sent those people last night?" ”

As if this question was stupid, Yuan Yongyan smiled faintly and said, "Do you mean to kill you or save you?" ”

"Why kill me? What exactly is the point of this wrench? Chu Jun was slightly angry, even if they didn't do it, they wouldn't be able to survive this month, why did they take the trouble to kill themselves?

"This wrench in your hand will only lead to death for you, if I hadn't sent someone to guard here last night, you would have been a cold corpse by now."

Chu Junxi stared at Yuan Yongyan with a sharp gaze, "They want to get it, don't you want to?" ”

Yuan Yongyan put away her lazy and leisurely demeanor and became serious, "I want you to hand it over to me personally." ”

"What if I don't?"

"Princess Ninghe, peace and tranquility, your father must have high hopes for you, right?" Yuan Yongyan said leisurely, "If Hou Yan's country is broken because of you, what will your father think, what kind of life will Hou Yan's people live, and at that time, you will be a sinner for the ages." ”

Chu Junxi's body stiffened slightly, "You threaten me?" ”

Yuan Yongyan raised her eyebrows, "Or do you think that Yuan Yuheng's straw bag can take on the throne?" ”

Noncommittal, among the two princes, Yuan Yongyan is the most suitable candidate for the emperor, if Yuan Yuheng becomes the emperor, Gu Yuan will decline rapidly. Leisure, hard work, and greed for enjoyment, Hou Yan is a lesson from the past.

Chu Junxi was silent, since Yuan Yongyan was talking about a deal with him, there must be something that he needed to help him with, and what could he help him?

"How is the interaction of Hou Yan's national fortunes? I can assure you that Gu Tuo and Hou Yan will be reconciled for eternity and will never be violated. Yuan Yongyan looked at her lazily and added, "And you don't have to die, I can give you any life you want." ”

Yuan Yongyan had an elegant smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was sure that Chu Jun would agree, although she was talking about life and death to change her fate, her expression was not half nervous.

The sun slowly rose, emitting an even more intense light than before.

Yuan Yongyan sat on a chair in the hall, the sun shining through the carved windows, he was half bathed in the sun and half immersed in the gloom.

For him, if he agrees, he will choose the sunny side, and if he does not agree, he will choose the dark side. Chu Junxi's lips were tightly pursed together.

"With the ability of the second prince, I shouldn't need the help of a foreign princess to sit on the throne." Chu Junxi deliberately emphasized the word 'foreign'.

"You're right." The smile on the corner of Yuan Yongyan's mouth widened, "But if there is an easier way to solve things, why do you want to mobilize the people?" ”

"You should have heard clearly outside the window that day, the emperor did not plan to pass on the throne to the second prince." Chu Junxi said deliberately.

"My father is dead, although it was not killed by Yuan Yuheng himself, but he also died in his hands, and now we have to consider the people of Gutuo, not the will of a dead man." Yuan Yongyan's eyes shone with a cold luster, and her voice seemed to be dyed with the chill of winter. "If you are as smart as you, you should know who is the best person to sit on the throne."

Chu Junxi weighed the conditions proposed by Yuan Yongyan in his mind, indeed as he said, Yuan Yuheng is greedy for pleasure and does not learn and has no skills, not the material for the emperor, even if he becomes the emperor with the help of Su Guifei, it will not last long, and in the end the throne will still fall into the hands of Yuan Yongyan, it is better to give him a personal favor, and he can also protect the peace of Yan I.

But if he chooses the second prince, and in the end the eldest prince sits on the throne, the first thing he has to deal with is Hou Yan, and the situation that Yan faces can be imagined.

"I have indeed been by the side of the first emperor to take care of him, but now that the first emperor is dead and the two sides are arguing, do you think anyone will listen to what I say?"

"Did you agree to my terms?"

"I just want to know your plans?"

Yuan Yongyan squinted at her, the royal momentum exuded around him almost suffocated Chu Junxi, he got up and slowly approached Chu Junxi, and whispered in her ear, "Or do you think it is more reliable to hand over Hou Yan's fate to Yuan Yuheng's straw bale?" ”

Enveloped by the momentum emanating from him, Chu Junxi felt like he was standing on the edge of a cliff, and he might fall off the cliff and break his bones if he stepped into the air, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"It's very simple, just say something in front of everyone." Yuan Yongyan turned around and returned to a leisurely demeanor.

"Are you sure what I said will work?" Not to mention that the first emperor did not confess his last words, even if he said it, who would believe it?

"Just say it, and I'll take care of the rest."

Chu Junxi took a deep breath, "Okay." "Right now, the second prince is the most advantageous person, and he is gambling with his life and Hou Yan's fate, hoping that he didn't make a mistake.

Yuan Yongyan got up and left, not overjoyed because Chu Junxi agreed, his face was indifferent when he came.

"You said that you would reconcile with Hou Yan Wanshi and never go to war." Chu Junxi said at his back.

Yuan Yongyan had already walked to the door, and at this time his whole person was bathed in the sun, the golden sunlight shone brightly on him, and his tall body was like a god.

Yuan Yongyan's footsteps stopped, and then left, although he didn't speak, Chu Junxi knew that the two had reached a consensus.

After Yuan Yongyan left, Chu Junxi's gaze fell on the green jade wrench again, and in the end, he still didn't tell himself the use of the wrench, she sighed and looked into the distance.

Yuan Yongyan came because of the wrench, seeing that he was confident, could this wrench decide the throne?

When the first emperor was alive, he asked himself, who is qualified to sit on the throne and can bring peace to Gutuo, I still remember what I said at the time, the last moment the first emperor looked into his eyes, he said that what he said was right, so he finally chose the second prince as the heir to the throne.
