"What this person said is true, he is of royal blood, we can't deal with it, so we can only be escorted to the imperial capital and wait for the emperor to fall. ”

Li Ji opened his mouth and said to Zhao Yun in a low voice: "In my opinion, according to the character of the emperor, I am afraid that he will not let himself bear the reputation of killing a brother because of a prince who has lost power." ”

Zhao Yun was silent and didn't speak, and he was a little undecided.

If it is an ordinary thief, where dare to be so rampant?

It's just that they kill them, and the emperor won't say anything at all, but the second prince has a special identity.

The ghost knows, does the emperor still think about brotherhood, maybe after escorting the second prince to the imperial capital, the emperor will look at the brotherhood and stop killing him?

Just like the second prince said, Zhao Yun and Li Ji both felt that it was more likely that the emperor would put him under house arrest.

Although the martial arts strength of the second prince has been abolished by the masters in the army, and he can't hear Li Ji's whispers clearly, he can also analyze the current situation through the expressions and movements of these four people.

They really have concerns.

Lonely bet is right!

The second prince breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, smiled faintly, and scolded the town guard behind him: "Don't hurry up and loosen the tie to Lone!"

The town guard warriors standing behind the second prince looked at each other, and then looked at Li Ji and Zhao Yun.

Li Ji looked at Zhao Yun, he was the commander of the First Army.

Zhao Yun was silent.

Now that the emperor is not present, should he respect the second prince, or continue to watch him? Everything should be decided by Zhao Yun.

But Zhao Yun couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts, so he didn't dare to make rash decisions.

He is a military talent, not a political genius, and he is really not proficient in these twists and turns in the royal family.

"What? In front of Lonely, you belittle and disdain Lone so much, and you still don't tie Lone? Do you want to continue to humiliate Lone? Do you continue to let Lone kneel? Is this what you should do as a courtier!"

The sneer on the second prince's face became thicker, he opened his mouth sinisterly, and said faintly: "You are not afraid, you will commit suicide alone, and it will be difficult for you to return to the imperial capital when the time comes?"

"Lao Jiu is a very affectionate emperor, if he knows that he died alone in Linshan City, what do you say...... What will he do?"

The second prince raised his head, his eyes squinted slightly at the four people in front of him, and the threat in his tone did not diminish in the slightest.

Li Ji was shocked in his heart, in order to understand the emperor, the minister of the Military Aircraft Pavilion figured out the emperor's heart, but he read all the royal records and historians' records about the emperor.

He knew very well that before the emperor ascended the throne, when he was a prince, he was very low-key and kind.

Judging purely from the historical records, it is impossible to see which prince the emperor was close to at the beginning, but there are many records about the emperor's affection.

The words of the second prince are not false.

"This ......"

Liu Taishou and Li Jingyang's faces became more and more ugly, and this kind of feeling of being threatened by the thief was really uncomfortable.

Obviously, they won the battle, why do they look like they are still being crushed by the second prince now?

Is it because he is the second prince? Is it because he is a royal child? Is it because he has royal blood flowing in his body?

But we are loyal to the emperor of the dynasty, not everyone who is loyal to the Su family!

We are the emperor's ministers, not your second prince's ministers!

is obviously a courtier, and he does his best to solve problems for the emperor, but he still has to bow his head to a royal family who oppressed and mutilated them!

This feeling of unbearability and aggrieved is unbearable as long as a man is still a man.

Just when the hall was silent, a loud voice sounded from the Taishou Mansion.

"The Emperor's will has arrived!

The messenger of the military report is coming!

Zhao Yun hurriedly got up, glanced at the second prince lightly, and decided to ignore him for the time being, and then take the order first.

"Tom tom. ”

Hurried footsteps sounded from outside the door, and after a while, an old soldier came from outside, holding a yellow brocade silk in his hand.

This person is the militia captain from Pingye City, the old Li Tou who will not die in the catastrophe.

Lao Li didn't have time to wipe his sweat, he raised his head and looked at the people in the hall, and the dialect in his voice was extremely heavy: "Dare to ask, which one is Zhao Yun, General Zhao?"

This is the first time he's made an order!

I've lived for most of my life, and the first time I did things for the emperor!

The emperor said that he must puff up his chest and be courageous, and he can't be cowardly!

Lao Li kept taking deep breaths to calm his excitement.

He saw that a white-robed general with a handsome white face came over and gave his hand very politely: "A certain family, loved by the emperor, added as the commander of the Great Xia Town Guard, Zhao Yun." ”

This is the commander in command of 100,000 cavalry and the entire northern battlefield?

This is the commander of the first army!

How many levels higher than me?

Damn, you can't count them on a pair of fingers.

Lao Li Tou swallowed his saliva, and involuntarily bent down and smiled: "Boss Zhao, the emperor asked me to send the holy decree." ”

As soon as Lao Litou's words fell, Zhao Yun's expression couldn't help but change, he was extremely serious, took a few steps back, and shook his robe with both hands (he wears a robe when he is not fighting).

"The last general, Zhao Yun, knock on the holy decree. ”

"The last general, Li Ji, bows to the holy decree. ”

"Weichen Liu Fan, knock to welcome the holy decree. ”

"The last general, Li Jingyang, knocks to welcome the holy decree. ”

Four serious and respectful voices sounded.

Seeing the decree is like seeing the emperor.

Zhao Yun raised his hand, lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down on both knees, and threw his body to the ground.

The people behind Zhao Yun also knelt down one after another and bowed.

"I ......"

Lao Li was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say.

For some reason, he felt that his legs were a little weak, and his thighs were trembling.

The commander of the first army, the chief guard of the city, the minister of the military cabinet, and the captain who has made great contributions......

These four people, who were usually unattainable, knelt down so respectfully because of a holy decree, without the slightest hesitation.

What is Regal?

This is Regal!

Lao Li Tou knew that they were not kneeling to themselves, but kneeling to the holy decree in their hands, but Lao Li Tou was still a little nervous.

"Bong... God...."

Lao Li Tou opened the holy decree, stammered for a long time, and gave up a little dejectedly: "Boss Zhao, you should look at this holy decree yourself, the old man is a little stuttering today, and his mouth is not angry." ”

Zhao Yun respectfully raised his hands and took the holy decree, and then got up and said with a smile: "It's okay, hard worker." ”

People who don't often come into contact with the Holy Decree will always feel a little scared when they encounter this thing for the first time.

"Come, take the messenger down to rest, and don't be lazy. ”

Zhao Yun instructed one of the town guards, then opened the holy decree and read it with Li Ji.

In the holy decree, there is some information about the battle report and the situation of Hirano Castle, which has been stabilized, the three princes have surrendered, and the fourth prince has died.

Subsequently, the emperor instructed Zhao Yun and Li Ji in the holy decree that the situation in Linshan City must be stabilized, and after the situation is stabilized, the army must be quickly sent to support the western battlefield and the northern battlefield, and the situation of the other two battlefields must be pacified in the shortest possible time.

After Zhao Yun read the holy decree, he couldn't help but sigh: "The change of Pingye City, overnight, the city was recaptured, and the 400,000 army was wiped out, the emperor's methods are really very comparable!"

took 10,000 imperial forest troops, directly took down 400,000 troops, and provoked the two princes to fight.

This method can be called turning hands into clouds and hands into rain.

"Hmph. ”

The second prince snorted coldly, his face was gloomy, he heard Zhao Yun's sigh, and he also knew that the eastern battlefield of Pingye City had completely fallen.

The Rebellion of the Eight Kings, a total of four battlefields, from the emperor in less than half a month after the attack, has completely fallen into the two battlefields.

This man is much stronger than Si Jiajun.

"Huh?"

Li Ji frowned, he saw a hint of potential meaning and hint in this seemingly simple holy decree.

The Fourth Prince is dead?

Why did the emperor focus on mentioning this matter, and the military report of the complete recovery of Linshan City had already told the emperor, why did the emperor go out of his way to tell them to stabilize the situation in Linshan City?

Linshan City has been defended, and the situation on the battlefield in the south has long been stabilized!

Since the emperor said this, he must have his own worries, what is the emperor's endless worry?

That's only the second prince!

If the second prince does not die for a day, the situation on the southern battlefield is not completely stable.

Li Ji realized that the emperor could not explicitly ask them to kill the second prince in the holy decree, which would lead to the killing of the brother, which would have a great impact on the emperor's popularity and prestige, and would cause unnecessary stains.

But the second prince is a person who must be killed.

Now, on the battlefield in the south, there must be someone who understands the emperor's mind and takes the initiative to stand up for the emperor.

Just when Li Ji came to his senses, the second prince on the side scolded with some impatience: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and loosen the binding!"

"What is written on the holy decree? Gu guess, it's probably because the emperor asked you to catch Gu and let people send Gu to the imperial capital, right?"

"Don't loosen your ties quickly! Otherwise, if you don't cooperate, you won't be able to make a difference. ”

The second prince's tone was full of confidence, he thought that he was extremely sensitive to the situation and people's hearts, and he had always been good at this.

"This ......"

Zhao Yun groaned slightly, although the second prince was not mentioned in the holy decree, but at present, he was not sure whether the emperor would kill the second prince.

The best way is to escort him to the imperial capital and wait for the emperor to dispose of it.

"Come on, untie him. ”

Zhao Yun waved his hand and sighed helplessly.

"I'll do it. ”

Li Ji stepped forward, waved his hand, and motioned for the town guard to retreat, and then he walked behind the second prince.

"That's pretty much it. ”

The second prince smiled contemptuously, and the minister of the Military Aircraft Pavilion personally loosened the tie for himself, which made the second prince more and more sure that he was in control of the situation.

Can be a second.

"Choking!"

The sound of the sword unsheathed sounded clearly, and the snow light flashed.

"Poof!"

Sharp weapons enter the flesh, and blood is ejected.

The second prince's head, still with a contemptuous and arrogant expression, flew up, and there was a hint of consternation on it that would not have time to be revealed.

At the moment he died, he couldn't figure out why Li Ji wanted to kill him.

This Li Ji, if he dares to kill the emperor's own brother, isn't he afraid of the emperor's wrath?
