Chapter Eighty-Four: One Ring, One Ring, One Ring, One Big Ring, Small Ring

The fear in Li Yannian's eyes was extremely strong, and there was a kind of desperate grief and indignation. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info so when An Zheng understood Li Yannian's eyes, he guessed that Li Yannian knew who those killers were.

"After the king is gone, the kingdom will not be a kingdom. ”

Li Yannian suddenly lay on the table and cried, his crying body trembling violently. An Zheng didn't say anything, walked to the side, poured a glass of wine, leaned against the window, looked at the night sky, and tasted it quietly. I don't know why, but today this wine looks so spicy after entering the throat.

Li Yannian cried for more than ten minutes, and when he raised his head, he suddenly aged thirty years old, and his whole person was extremely haggard.

"Your career is at the end of the day. ”

An Zheng put down his wine glass: "Since you don't want to say, then I won't ask." I'll find a place to settle you first, and I'll send you to Daxi Jiangnan to reunite with your wife and children after a while. In the future, you will live well with the family, and the loftiness of the temple will no longer have anything to do with you. The tranquility of the countryside is where you belong. ”

Li Yannian looked at An Zheng, and then knelt on the ground: "Thank you!"

An Zheng didn't help him up, so he was bowed by Li Yannian, and then he smiled: "This is not a good thing for you, you can live the rest of your life in peace." No matter how powerful your opponent is, he won't dare to go to Daxi to be presumptuous. The reason why I am worshiped by you is because I deserve it. So since you also thank and worship, you don't need to mention this matter again in the future. ”

Li Yannian stood up and said: "You are a real chivalrous man, Li Mou offended you before, I'm sorry." ”

An Zheng said: "You sleep, the people who want to kill you tonight will be crazy looking for you in the city, but they won't be able to find me for a while." Tomorrow at dawn, there will be an uproar in your family. Fanggu Mansion, the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple will all intervene. At that time, those who want to move you will be more restrained, but tomorrow all the gates of Fanggu City will be watched by their people, and once you show up, you will still die. ”

Li Yannian sighed: "I have served the country for twenty years, and I thought that I could return to the countryside when I am old, but now it seems that this court can no longer accommodate people like me." ”

An Zheng walked over and put the wine jug beside Li Yannian, and then turned around to leave.

Li Yannian looked at An Zheng's back and was silent for a while, and then called An Zheng: "Talk to me, there are some things I need someone I can trust to help me remember." ”

An Zheng stood at the door and turned around: "Are you sure you want to tell me?"

Li Yannian said: "Although you and I have just met, I know that you are someone who can be trusted. I leave here tomorrow, and I don't know if I can stay out of the city, and even if I get out of the city, I don't know if I will be able to live with my wife and children. So if I die, I want you to help me tell my children who the enemy is. ”

An Zheng sat down: "I guess, that's why you don't want your son to practice?"

Li Yannian said: "I knew that I would definitely be killed, and I have relaxed my vigilance after a few years of stability." It's been a few years since that incident, and I don't think they're going to make any more waves...... But I know that if I am killed, my son will avenge me. The other party is too strong, and if he avenges me, he may also die. If I don't let him practice, he won't be able to avenge me, right...... But now it seems, I was wrong. ”

He looked at An Zheng and said, "Just now in my house, if you weren't there, I would have been killed without even having a chance to fight back." If they find out the whereabouts of my family, I'm afraid they will also hunt them down, they don't know how to practice, and they don't have the ability to resist like me. So I thought, I was really wrong. Since Vishnu can practice, let him practice, at least in the face of danger in the future, and have the ability to protect his mother, his brother, and himself. ”

"As for revenge...... Forget it, even if I die, this revenge can't be avenged, the other party is too powerful. ”

An Zheng asked, "Who is it?"

Li Yannian was silent for a moment: "It's the Su family of the descendant clan." ”

An Zheng asked: "You are just a Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Rites, what contradiction can you have with the descendants." ”

Li Yannian was silent for a longer time this time, and then said in a somewhat heavy tone: "That was a few years ago, and it has something to do with Daxi...... I'm telling you this because I want you to help me, so that if something happens to me in the future, I can also let my wife and children know who to watch out for in the future. The people of the Hou clan have always left no room for things, even if they knew that my wife and children had gone to Daxi, they would not let them go, because this also involved a big man in Daxi. ”

An Zheng's heart moved, and he suddenly felt that this matter was related to him, and the big man in Daxi that Li Yannian said must be Chen Chongqi, the king of Daxi. Because for so many years, Daxi has only such a person who can be called a big man who has been to Yan Kingdom.

Li Yannian poured a glass of wine, and then drank it all.

"That was more than four years ago, when the combined forces of Yan and Zhuo and Zhao entered Yongguo, defeated the allied forces of Youguo Yongguo, and almost wiped out Yongguo. Later, in order to mediate the war between various countries, Daxi sent a very heavy man...... The son of the Holy Emperor of Daxi, King Hui Chen Chongqi. I thought that Chen Chongqi's arrival was really just to mediate the war, but when Chen Chongqi arrived, I felt that something was wrong. ”

"Why?"

Ann asked.

Li Yannian said: "After Chen Chongqi arrived in Yan Kingdom, he never left at all, nor did he summon the envoys of Yongguo and Youguo, and traveled all day long, where did he come to mediate the war? So at the time, I thought, this is not right. Later, I thought that maybe this prince was just coming to the north to play, and by the way, he would settle the affairs of the Sixteen Kingdoms. Moreover, in his capacity, there was no need to personally receive the envoys of various countries, and he did not even need to meet the kings of various countries. ”

"He only needs to send someone to go over with his own message, which country of the sixteen countries dares not to listen to Daxi's mediation?"

Li Yannian drank another glass of wine and looked at An Zheng: "Until one day, I was responsible for leading Chen Chongqi to play in Yanshan, and Chen Chongqi suddenly disappeared." ”

An Zheng's eyes lit up, and he knew that Chen Chongqi's disappearance was related to his arrival.

Li Yannian said: "At that time, we were all panicked, and the entire Ministry of Rites was in a mess, and we sent people everywhere to find it. As a result, after looking for five days, there was no news, and on the sixth day, he suddenly received a letter, saying that Chen Chongqi had left Yan and returned to Daxi. ”

He poured the third glass of wine and drank it all again: "What's wrong is that such a big man is missing, and King Yan is not in a hurry at all." The Ministry of Rites has gone crazy, and when he met King Yan several times, King Yan looked worried but perfunctory. According to reason, Chen Chongqi and his entourage are all missing, and King Yan will inevitably dispatch all the masters to search, but King Yan's order is...... All the masters of the Military Department, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and Tianji Palace are not allowed to act rashly, and whoever dares to go out of Fanggucheng without permission will be killed. ”

Li Yannian glanced at An Zheng: "Are you strange or not?"

An Zheng nodded: "It's really strange. ”

But An Zheng knew in his heart that when King Yan ordered all the masters not to leave Fanggu City, it was when those masters from Daxi ambushed him.

Li Yannian continued: "Originally, the matter came to this point, and Chen Chongqi's handwritten letter came to say that he had returned to Daxi and it would be over, although it was strange, but after all, nothing happened. And I'm not going to be involved at all. ”

He drank wine one by one, and his face quickly turned from pale to a little red: "But then one day, an injured man came to the post station, saying that he was from Daxi. He encountered a demon beast when he crossed Cangman Mountain, and he was able to get out after fighting, but when he arrived in Fanggu City, he fell into a coma. At that time, the people at the post station hurriedly sent the news to the Ministry of Rites, and I rushed to the post station with people. ”

"That person handed me a letter and told me to hand it over to the Queen Mother. He passed out after handing me the letter, and although he was later treated urgently, he eventually died. ”

An Zheng's fists clenched in his cuffs, and he knew that the truth would soon come out.

Li Yannian said: "At that time, I was also a little curious, the envoy of Daxi, why was such an important letter not handed over to King Yan, but to the queen at that time?"

An Zheng asked, "So you peeked at that letter?"

Li Yannian nodded: "This is the beginning of the disaster...... At that time, I was so curious, I always felt that there was some shocking secret behind this matter. The envelope was covered with fire paint, but it was nothing to me. I have been exposed to letters for many years, and it is not difficult to restore the fire paint. So I found a secret place and opened the letter. ”

A flash of fear flashed in his eyes: "I really didn't expect it...... The secret is so big, it's too big for me to bear. The letter was written by Chen Chongqi, the king of Daxi Hui, to the Empress Dowager, and he asked the Empress Dowager to get rid of those in the know, including ...... King Yan!"

An Zheng's heart suddenly lit up...... Yes, soon after his accident, King Yan died of illness, and Mu Changyan was sent back to Dayan by Empress Dowager Su.

The more Li Yannian talked at this time, the more excited he became, he stood up and trembled and said: "That slut, she actually wants to murder the king! She colluded with Daxi's people inside and outside to destroy my Yan Kingdom...... As a courtier of Dayan, I can't sit idly by and ignore this matter. But I knew that I couldn't see King Yan. Because at that time, the palace had already announced that King Yan was seriously ill, and the court affairs were handed over to the queen and the old prime minister Zhuge Yan to take care of. My position is low, and I can't enter the Tianji Palace at all. ”

"Although Zhuge Yan's rights were almost hollowed out at that time, he was highly respected after all. Moreover, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, he was the only one who could enter the palace to see King Yan at any time. So, I told Zhuge Yan about it. ”

An Zheng's face changed: "So...... Zhuge Yan died a few days ago. ”

Li Yannian nodded, his eyes were full of pain: "It was I who killed the old prime minister, and it was I who ...... After I told the old prime minister about this, he entered the palace the next day. But at that time, King Yan was surrounded by people from the Queen Mother, so it must not be easy for him to tell King Yan the news. Zhuge Yan asked me to reseal the letter and send it to the Splendid Palace to Queen Su at that time, because I couldn't hide the matter of the post station. ”

"I had no choice but to seal the letter and deliver it to the Palace of Splendid Beauty. Because the letter looked intact, there was nothing unusual about the Queen Mother at that time. ”

When Li Yannian said this, his body suddenly seemed to lose all his strength and fell on the stool: "But who knows, King Yan still hasn't been able to protect himself...... The day after Zhuge Yan entered the palace, King Yan died. ”

Li Yannian's face was full of grief and indignation, and that anger could almost ignite the sky.

"That slut killed the king like this. ”

When An Zheng heard this, he probably understood the whole thing. Chen Chongqi wanted to kill him, but he didn't dare to do anything in Daxi, so he deliberately begged the Holy Emperor of Daxi to send him to Yan Kingdom. After arriving in Yan Kingdom, he immediately sent someone to deliver the news back, saying that he was in danger. At that time, the Holy Emperor was preparing for a major event, and he really couldn't go there in person, so he immediately notified An Zheng.

Because the Holy Emperor knew that among the courtiers, An Zheng and Chen Chongqi had the best relationship in private, and if An Zheng was sent to go, An Zheng would inevitably do his best.

It's all interlinked...... Now, Su Qingnuan, the Empress Dowager of Yan Kingdom, wants to destroy all the links in Yan Kingdom. King Yan is the biggest link, Zhuge Yan is second, and Li Yannian is just the smallest link.
