"Rubbish!"

In the Changle Palace of Jinling City, the white-haired Chen Xuanji pushed the luxurious fruit plate made of gold and stone on the desk to the ground, and the gold utensils fell to the ground, rolling on the ground, making a piercing sound, and the best melons and fruits on the fruit plate were scattered all over the ground.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Yan Yanyan, who heard the voice, stepped forward quickly, came to Chen Xuanji, and asked softly at that time.

Chen Xuanji glanced back at Yan Yanyan, it was a gentle, considerate, beautiful, and dignified woman, he did everything for Chen Guo and Chen Xuanji, compared with Fang Ziyu, the two seemed to be two extremes. Rao was married at the beginning, just out of necessity, but after getting along during this time, Chen Xuanji also had to admit that Yan Yanyan, as his wife, was almost an impeccable existence.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuanji suppressed the anger in his heart as much as possible, and he asked softly, "Have you heard?"

Although Yan Yanyan behaved gently enough, Chen Xuanji was not stupid enough to really regard the woman in front of her as a wife who only knew her husband and children, the Yan family behind her, her father Yan Yuming was able to hide from Meng Ke's eyes in a short period of time and raise an elite army of 200,000 for him, with such a strong backing, thinking about that news, Yan Yanyan would probably know some time earlier than him.

After hearing this, Yan Yanyan nodded her head willingly.

Although he had expected this matter for a long time, Chen Xuanji still couldn't help but look pale after seeing this scene, this great Chen Guo, although he is a monarch, but many times he is like an outsider.

"Your Majesty, I don't like it..."Yan Yanyan quickly understood Chen Xuanji's thoughts, and she lowered her head and asked cautiously.

Chen Xuanji shook his head, not willing to dwell on this issue anymore.

"Great Xia has withdrawn. He whispered, not with much joy in his tone, but with a sense of sorrow.

"I know. Yan Yanyan was very considerate and did not mention the previous topic again, she nodded again, looked at Chen Xuanji with some puzzlement and asked: "Shouldn't this be a good thing?

Yan Yanyan's words did not make Chen Xuanji's mood half better, but with her words, the expression on Chen Xuanji's face gradually became gloomy, and the anger that had just been suppressed in his heart began to surge up at this time.

His hand suddenly stretched out and slammed it on the desk in front of him again.

Even if he didn't use half a cent of True Yuan, this moment was still extremely powerful, the center of the desk was slightly concave, and the huge sound also made Yan Yanyan's body on the side shock, and half of his words stopped abruptly.

Chen Xuanji's face was gloomy, and there seemed to be a flame rising in his eyes, and he said, "But Munch is not dead!"

The tone is cold, like a ghost whispering in the mountains and mountains at night.

Chen Xuanji has a brilliant plan.

With the death of Chen Ping, the king of Fengxing, at the hands of Cui Ting, Chen Guo had no available soldiers except for the 100,000 tigers and wolves in the hands of Meng Ke, and the heavy task of meeting Qiu Qianping naturally fell into the hands of Meng Ke.

Meng Ke, who has been crowned the king and worshiped the prime minister to Jiuxi, can be described as a very popular minister with such a status. Once he refuses to ride out of the door again, he will definitely be famous, such a monk, Chen Xuanji has nothing to appreciate, will he be willing to be subordinate to others at that time?

Although the idea of judging others by oneself has been somewhat subordinate, in fact, since ancient times, it has rarely been wrong to measure people's hearts by this method.

Therefore, when Meng Ke led an army of 100,000 to kill the enemy in Changwu Pass, Chen Xuanji secretly summoned Yan Yuming, the father of Yan Yanyan, who recruited 200,000 elite soldiers for him, and gathered in the rear of Changwu Pass in various ways, once Meng Ke and Qiu Qianping had a big battle. If it wins, 200,000 soldiers can rush forward and eradicate the slack Munch and others after the war in the name of plotting against the enemy, and if it fails, it will be even better, and 200,000 soldiers can also replace Munch and face Qiu Qianping.

Chen Xuanji calculated everything, but he didn't expect that the vigorous eastward march of the Great Xia Iron Cavalry would be so anticlimactic, and after testing the situation outside Changwu Pass for more than a month, he quietly retreated.

After more than a month, although Meng Ke and Qiu Qianping fought many times, they were all small fights, and the main force in Meng Ke's hands, the 100,000 tigers and wolves who claimed to be able to kill immortals, were unscathed. If you make a move at this time, there is very little chance of winning with 200,000 elite soldiers to defeat Munch's 100,000 tiger and wolf riders, which is definitely not a good method.

And what worries Chen Xuanji the most is that the 200,000 troops were busy with the war before Meng Ke and had no time to take care of it, once the troops were collected and returned to the court, 200,000 people were his Chen Xuanji's great ability, and he couldn't hide Meng Ke's eyeliner if he thought about it. Once he investigates this matter, the consequences are unimaginable, and in fact, although Meng Ke is still on the way back to the dynasty at this moment, a piece of music to start the Yan family has already been placed on Chen Xuanji's desk.

Yan Yanyan Bingxue was smart, and when she heard this, she naturally quickly figured it out.

She smiled gently, walked up to Chen Xuanji, put herself into the other party's arms, she lay on Chen Xuanji's chest, and said softly: "Your Majesty, no matter what happens, Yanyan will be by Your Majesty's side." ”

Smelling the faint aroma coming from the person in his arms, Chen Xuanji's uneasiness and anger calmed down a lot, and he also stretched out his hand to hug the person in his arms, sighed and said: "It is a blessing to be able to marry Yan'er as a wife... It's just..."

"If I miss this opportunity, if I want to do it to Munch again, I'm afraid it will take me a long time..."

"Your Majesty is still young, sooner or later there will be a day when you will ascend to the fairyland, how long Your Majesty can afford to wait, Yan Yan will always accompany Your Majesty to wait. Yan Yanyan said softly, she squeezed into Chen Xuanji's arms again, she sniffed the faint smell from the man's body, and only felt a sense of peace of mind, thinking about how good it would be if she could be held by him like this all the time.

"I'm afraid, Munch won't let me wait until that day. Chen Xuanji didn't seem to feel the thoughts of the person in his arms at this moment, he sighed again and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty!" Yan Yanyan sat up from Chen Xuanji's arms when she heard this, and she said with some displeasure: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, Your Majesty is the son of the Mandate of Heaven of the Ninety-Five, and Meng Ke will not dare to do anything to His Majesty even if he has the courage to do it! ”

A bitter smile appeared on Chen Xuanji's face.

Can he still be called a good person? He thought about that day, the face that woke up in Jinling City from shock to stunned and then to sorrow, thinking about the lonely back when she left, Chen Xuanji didn't understand, can he still be regarded as a good person after doing such a thing?

So he shook his head and said, "I'm not good. ”

"No, Your Majesty is the best person in the world!" But for some reason, Yan Yanyan, who had always been obedient to Chen Xuanji's words, echoed at that time, and there was a rare hint of resoluteness and determination in her tone.

Chen Xuanji was stunned, secretly thinking that the other party was comforting him with this, he shook his head again, trying to stop this topic that upset him, but Yan Yanyan looked straight at Chen Xuanji at that time, and in those dark eyes, the light flickered, like stars and bright moons, so bright that people didn't dare to look at it directly.

"Fourteen years ago..."Yan Yanyan whispered.

"Chen Guo Jinling City, Your Majesty remembers what happened at that time?"

Chen Xuanji couldn't help but be stunned again, twelve years ago, he was still the prince of Chen State, and his mother Empress Mengyu was still alive. The world at that time was so perfect for Chen Xuanji when he was young, so perfect that it was almost dreamlike.

Of course, Chen Xuanji has a lot of memories of that year, but he doesn't know which one Yan Yanyan is referring to.

"You saved me. Yan Yanyan seemed to see Chen Xuanji's doubts, she couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but she quickly suppressed this loss, and said: "That year, my father and I fled to Jinling City, and were chased and killed by the enemy. ”

When Chen Xuanji heard this, he remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, when his mother Empress Mengyu couldn't stand his stalking, she took him to play in micro-clothes, and happened to meet this on the street corner, so she asked the accompanying guards to save the father and daughter in distress, but she didn't want it to be Yan Yanyan in front of her...

Seeing that Chen Xuanji's face showed a sudden look, Yan Yanyan suddenly smiled, she rushed into Chen Xuanji's arms again, hugged the other party and whispered: "Yanyan's life was saved by His Majesty, even if something really happens, Yanyan will do her best to protect Your Majesty." ”

Chen Xuanji, who was still reminiscing about those old things, was shocked when he heard this.

He seemed to have thought of something, and the expression between his eyebrows was strange and wooden. Then he slowly lowered his head, stretched out his hand, and stopped less than an inch away from the person in his arms, and then he asked in a deep tone, "Yanyan, are you really willing to give your life for me?"

Yan Yanyan, who was already completely immersed in the love of her children, didn't hear the strangeness in Chen Xuanji's tone at all, she nodded heavily: "Yanyan's life belongs to His Majesty, and people are also His Majesty's, for Your Majesty, Yanyan can do anything." ”

"Is it..."Chen Xuanji muttered, the hand hanging in the air finally fell on Yan Yan's body, at this moment, he poured the girl tightly into his arms, and whispered in his mouth: "It is Chen's luck to be able to marry a woman like Yan Yan." ”

"Yan Yan is also very happy to be able to marry His Majesty. ”

After the two of them spoke, they looked at each other without saying a word, just hugged each other tightly in the Changle Palace in Jinling City.

That night, the candle flame was leisurely, and it was not extinguished all night in Changle Palace.

......

Although Chen Xuanji knew very well that when he got the news of the withdrawal of troops from Great Xia, Meng Ke was already on his way back to the court.

It's just that he didn't expect that the speed at which he got the news would be so slow, or that the speed of Munch's return would be so fast.

He stood up from the bed where the dragon and phoenix were carved, and while arranging his clothes, he looked sideways at the sky outside the hall. Without moving his head, he asked, "He came so early?"

"Hmm. The old eunuch, who was kneeling at the door of the temple and landed on his head, replied softly. "Lord Qin has been waiting in Changle Palace for an hour, and the old slave is afraid that it will affect His Majesty's rest, so he only came to report at this moment. ”

"Uncle Fang just killed the enemy in blood at the border pass, and when he returned to the court, he came to face the saint, and he can learn from his heart, and he is the minister of my Da Chen. Chen Xuanji sighed expressionlessly, stretched out his hand and lifted the dragon robe scattered on the side, and put it on his body.

When the old eunuch at the gate of the palace heard this, he still lowered his head, never got up, and never responded.

After a long while, Chen Xuanji finally put on the cumbersome dragon robe on his body.

As the monarch of the Chen Kingdom, Rao is no matter how down, the palace maid in this costume will not be bad after all, but Chen Xuanji is used to accomplishing such things by himself. It was a habit he had developed since childhood, and it was something his mother had requested.

He didn't like the royal robe, he was too bloated and too cumbersome to wear.

But now he suddenly understands that once you put it on, it is difficult to take it off, because often the price of taking it off is your life.

Therefore, he was very careful and careful to fasten every belt and close every button. He knew that he was destined to be unable to escape this fate, so he had to cherish this royal robe that he did not like very much, as much as he cherished his own life.

It took him a quarter of an hour to put on the imperial robe, and then he turned to look at the old eunuch who was still prostrate on the ground and said, "Let's go, don't let my uncle wait too long." ”

When the old eunuch heard this, he hurriedly stood up, but his head was still bowed respectfully, and then he turned to lead the way.

But just as Chen Xuanji was about to step out, the man with white hair seemed to suddenly think of something, his footsteps stopped in mid-air, and then turned his head and looked behind him.

On the luxurious bed with carved dragons and phoenixes, a woman who was born as delicate as water was still sleeping peacefully.

Seeing this, Chen Xuanji smiled, stepped forward, and kissed the woman lightly on the forehead, before turning to leave.

The woman's eyes on the bed were still closed, but the long eyelashes seemed to move imperceptibly after the man left...

......

In the Changle Palace.

Chen Xuanji stared at the man in armor and a long knife at his waist in the audience, his face was silent and silent.

The man looked up at him at that time, the same silence, the same silence.

The old eunuch behind Chen Xuan's machine also lowered his head, looking timid, as if he was afraid that if he moved half a minute, the slight sound of the sleeves brushing would break the silence.

After a long time.

The ice and snow between Chen Xuanji's eyebrows suddenly melted, he smiled, and said with great concern: "Uncle has worked hard. ”

The man bowed his hand respectfully, and immediately replied: "It is a blessing for Weichen to be able to share the worries of His Majesty." ”

The sound of the air was like thunder, resounding back and forth in the empty Changle Palace, and it only stopped after a few breaths.

"Uncle is tired of traveling and driving, and when he comes back to be a good student, why should he rush to face the saint? If he is tired, who should the widow rely on when this group of wolves looks around the world in the future?" Chen Xuanji said, with a warm smile on his face, and the harmonious atmosphere of a wise man and a virtuous minister in Changle Palace.

"The world is Your Majesty's world, the minister is old, and one day he will pass away, His Majesty must always learn to rely on himself. Munch replied softly, the expression on his face silent, and there was no joy or sorrow to be seen.

Chen Xuanji's face suddenly showed a look of panic and worry, and he said eagerly: "Uncle, what are these words, this Da Chen is my Da Chen, and it is also my uncle's. If there is no uncle, how can there be today's mystery. ”

When he said this, Chen Xuanji, whether it was the tone of his words or the expression on his face, was sincere and fearful, but it was difficult to find fault with half of it.

But when Meng Ke heard this, he just glanced at Chen Xuanji lightly, then withdrew his gaze, and at the same time retracted his posture of being false and wronged with Chen Xuanji.

He stepped forward, walked to the bottom of the steps of the dragon chair, and bowed his hand again, before he said: "The minister came this time, and there is really something to ask. ”

The smile on Chen Xuanji's face, which had been expected for a long time, did not diminish by half, and he smiled: "What's the matter? Uncle said bluntly. ”

The smile that seemed to be defenseless, almost from the heart, fell in Munch's eyes, and the man with a face as silent as an ancient well, his eyes fluctuated slightly, but soon disappeared.

"When Wei Chen was facing the foreign enemy at Changwu Pass, he found that there were traces of a large number of armor soldiers patrolling in the area of Gulong Road in the rear, and after Qiu Duping retreated, I sent soldiers to investigate, and found traces of 200,000 of my Da Chen army, I don't know if Your Majesty knows about this? As far as I know, Da Chen does not have so many other troops. Munch asked, his head raised again, and his gaze fell straight on Chen Xuanji's face like a sharp arrow, as if he wanted to see something from the young emperor.

But to his disappointment, Chen Xuanji, who heard this, only showed a stunned look for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "Uncle said this..."

"The thief's heart of Daxia is not dead, my uncle is alone to resist the enemy, I am worried about my uncle's safety, so I ordered someone to recruit the army, which can be enough for 200,000 troops, and I am about to send to help my uncle, but I don't want my uncle to be powerful, and he has already defeated the enemy. ”

"Your Majesty is very capable, you can raise 200,000 troops in less than a month..."Munch sighed in a deep voice.

"It's just some untrained recruits, and they are used in a hurry, which is nothing, and it is not as good as the tiger and wolf ride in the hands of my uncle. Chen Xuanji replied with a guilty face.

Meng Ke said: "Then Your Majesty has to train this army well, and we will have more troubles in the future." ”

It's just that before Chen Xuanji could answer, Meng Ke's voice sounded again: "I don't know if Your Majesty has seen the recital I sent." ”

This time, a strange color finally appeared on Chen Xuanji's face, but soon he smiled again and said, "Uncle is talking about the Yan family's use of power to accumulate wealth and discredit my royal family's reputation?"

When Meng Ke heard this, he didn't respond, just stared at Chen Xuanji with a calm gaze.

The smile on Chen Xuanji's face gradually became a little unnatural under such a gaze, but after he counted his breaths, he said in a deep voice: "This matter is a big matter..."

Meng Ke didn't give Chen Xuanji a chance to finish saying this, his tone suddenly increased by a few points, and then he said loudly: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, since you have to investigate this matter, you don't have time to supervise the training of the army. In addition, now that Chen Guo is surrounded by enemies, the matter of training the army cannot be delayed, so it is better to hand over this matter to Weichen. ”

Of course, these words are impassioned, and they look like loyal martyrs who are loyal to the monarch and the country. But even when the old eunuch behind Chen Xuan's fuselage heard this, he couldn't help but tremble, and he could understand that this was clearly a clear robbery of military power. The so-called great rebellion is nothing more than that.

But the strange thing is that after hearing this, the smile on Chen Xuanji's face, which was clearly about to freeze, suddenly brightened again, he lowered his head, and Ying Ying said: "Uncle misunderstood, what I said is that I have investigated this matter clearly, as for the result..."

Speaking of this, Chen Xuanji turned his head and glanced at the old eunuch beside him.

The old man named Anu nodded knowingly at that time, went to the inner room and took out a one-foot-square wooden box, and walked in front of Munch.

The smile on Chen Xuanji's face was even worse, he stared at Munch, and said meaningfully: "It's all in this wooden box, and I invite my uncle to take a look." ”

......

In the Fengluan Hall of the East Palace, Yan Yanyan anxiously paced back and forth in the hall gate.

Chen Xuanji went to meet with Munch, although she kept comforting Chen Xuanji, but she knew very well in her heart that Munch was not an easy person, and this trip was extremely dangerous.

Of course, she wants to help Chen Xuanji, but she is a woman, and she can control such a major event in the court. She could only send her cronies out of the palace early in the morning to report to her father, hoping to solve the matter through her father's power in Chen State. It's just that Chen Xuanji hasn't returned for a long time, and his cronies haven't returned for a long time.

This kind of waiting is undoubtedly the hardest.

"Oh no!" After about an hour passed, an exclamation suddenly came from outside the hall.

Yan Yanyan was shocked, and heard that this voice was the voice of the cronie she had sent, she hurriedly walked out of the temple gate, and saw the cronie rushing into the hall with a look of urgency.

"What's wrong?" Yan Yanyan hurriedly asked.

"Master, Yan..." The cronie was about to say something, but a sharp duck voice came from outside the palace.

"The emperor has arrived!"

As soon as this sound fell, I saw Chen Xuanji, who was wearing an imperial robe with white hair on his head and an extremely handsome face, appeared at the gate of the palace at that time.

Seeing her sweetheart, Yan Yanyan stepped forward quickly, and said with a happy face: "Your Majesty is back?

Yan Yanyan was full of thoughts about the safety of her sweetheart, but she didn't notice that the cronies who were passing by her at that time suddenly turned pale when they heard that Chen Xuanji was coming, and their faces were like ashes.

Chen Xuanji, who had returned, did not respond to Yan Yanyan's concern at the first time, his eyes swept around, and he said softly: "You guys should retreat first." ”

The surrounding slaves naturally didn't dare to be disobedient when they heard this, and after answering yes, they all retreated, and although that cronie had the heart to glance at Yan Yanyan, this was Yan Yanyan's eyes only about the person in front of him, how could he estimate him?

After everyone retreated, Yan Yanyan asked again, "Your Majesty, what's going on?"

"It's okay, the matter has been settled, Yan'er doesn't have to worry. Chen Xuanji said with a smile.

Yan Yanyan's hanging heart finally let go of the hanging heart when she heard this, she breathed a long sigh of relief, patted her chest with palpitations, and said: "But I'm worried about the bad concubine, it's okay, I'll just say that Your Majesty will be blessed with all the sky, and you will be able to save the day." ”

After saying this, she didn't see the gloomy gaze in Chen Xuanji's eyes, she seemed to think of something and said: "Your Majesty went to deal with this matter early this morning, I think I haven't had time to eat at this moment, right? The concubine has already prepared breakfast for Your Majesty, and it is all Your Majesty's favorite food." ”

Saying that, the woman turned around unconsciously, walked to the desk on the side, and was about to take out something from the food box, but her mouth still said to herself: "Yanyan doesn't have any great skills, she can't help Your Majesty, she can only do what she can..."

"Nope. ”

"Yan'er has helped me a lot, but there is one more thing that needs to be troubled by Yan'er. Chen Xuanji's voice sounded behind her.

"What?" the woman who didn't know it brought out the ravioli, which were still hot in the past, from the food box, and turned around to ask.

But before she could say that, her body shook as if she had been severely injured.

The golden bowl in her hand suddenly fell off, and the soup wontons were scattered all over the ground, but she only stared at the face in front of her with an incredible gaze that was only an inch away from him, the face she had dreamed of countless times.

She looked at her chest, where a long sword was in it, and she reached out to touch the man in front of her, she wanted to know if it was a nightmare or...

Before she could reach the point, she lost all her strength, her head sank, and she fell down with unbelievable fear.

Chen Xuanji took another step forward at that time and hugged the girl's fallen body.

He caressed her caring back as if to soothe her sleeping lover, and then he gently leaned into her ear, his lips slightly opened, and he whispered two words.

He said, "Die." ”

......

When Meng Ke walked out of Changle Palace, the sky was still clear, and lightning and thunder suddenly roared.

The torrential rain poured down without warning.

His Royal Highness King Qin did not prop up his True Yuan barrier, but let the rain hit his armor.

They washed away the dust from the armor that hadn't left for a month, and they washed away something in Munch's heart.

He suddenly stopped ten feet away from the majestic palace gate, and he put the wooden box in his arms in front of him, and then stretched out his hand to gently open the wooden box.

There, a still warm head was looking at him with wide eyes, eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

It's called Yan Yuming.

He is the head of the Yan family and Yan Yanyan's father.

It was naturally an extremely terrifying scene, but it obviously didn't have the slightest impact on Munch, who had long been accustomed to life and death.

But he still stopped and looked at it for a long time, and the corners of his mouth gradually hooked up a smile, and his eyes actually showed a look of relief.

After a few breaths, he closed the wooden box again, and walked into the majestic rainstorm.

In a trance, a murmur came.

"You're a quick learner..."

"But not fast enough. ”

"Hurry up..."

"I don't have much time to teach you..."
