When dawn was approaching, the night rain was gradually exhausted, and a glimmer of dawn appeared in the sky, and Yi Tianxing and the others finally arrived at Yueqiu. Yi Fenghan and other teenagers cheered, a night of life and death, anxious waiting was left far behind at this moment, for them at this moment, there is nothing more joyful than the reunion of their best friends.

Yi Tianxing and his entourage climbed the Moon Hill and saw Gu Yan and Bai Hao Then, Yi Tianxing said to Gu Yan: "Gu Dazhu Kingdom, except for those who do not obey Yuan Chengyi in Furong City, the others are probably already fierce, Zhu Qi is dead, my grandfather is the only one left in his fourth cousin, Mu Yuelian's parents have also died, I can hear the Xiao Sheng of Gongsun Dacheng in the city, I am afraid that I have been killed." ”

Although Gu Xinjian knew that his family was killed, and Gongsun Yunxuan had also expected his father's death, he still couldn't help but sobbed when he heard this. Yan Jiutian's face was as usual, but his fists were clenched, and the green tendons on his forehead and hands burst out, obviously trying his best to suppress his sadness. Mu Yuelian bit her lower lip tightly, a bloodshot flowed down the corner of her mouth, and she didn't realize it, her tears flickered, and she couldn't help herself cry.

Gu Yan nodded and said: "Yes, Teacher Zhen Kuang went to the palace, Brother Yi Chang went to the north gate to confuse the enemy, and the two of them will——Green @ color # Xiao ¥ said & net - Luo's masters returned to the north gate of Furong City, and even Ling Qianli led the cavalry back."

Yuan Chengyi's eyes swept away, and he said angrily: "What about the traitors, haven't you caught up with any of you!"

Liu Zhong trembled and said: "Back to the emperor, we were deceived by the traitor Yi Chang, he found some sacks, loaded them with stones of similar weight to people, tied them to the backs of more than ten horses, stabbed the horse's buttocks with a knife, let it run wildly, and led us to chase it. ”

Yuan Chengyi could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, he looked up to the sky and roared, his voice pierced through the sky, and everyone was shocked when they heard it, and they dismounted one after another, kneeling down and pleading guilty. Yuan Chengyi's anger subsided slightly, stopped his whistling, and said: "All the secretaries, please get up, I am just angry for a while, and I can't restrain myself." If I don't take care of the overall situation and don't want to take action myself now, where will it be the turn of these rats to run rampant!"

Everyone was even more frightened, where did they dare to get up, and said repeatedly: "Weichen is incompetent, please calm the emperor's anger." ”

Yuan Chengyi's face became more and more youthful, and he said in a cold voice: "Heliansha, you go to the east gate to inspect quickly, Qiu Tianjian, you quickly go to the south gate to inspect, Liu Yi, you quickly go to the west gate to inspect." Whatever you find, the three of you must immediately go to the school and report to me, and then make a decision, and don't be greedy for merit and make your own decisions. ”

Liu Yi and the other three took the order and galloped away. Yuan Chengyi said goodbye and left, turned over and got on his horse, and galloped towards Furong City with a gloomy face, and the ministers hurriedly got up and got on their horses and followed closely behind. The group rushed into Furong City non-stop, and Gong Ziku and Cheng Ji had already finished what Yuan Chengyi had ordered, and they were waiting at the gate of the North Gate on horseback.

Yuan Chengyi shouted: "Follow me!" and led the crowd straight to the school field, at this time the sky was already light, and suddenly there was a black shadow flashing in front of him, Yuan Chengyi was suspicious, and shouted: "Take it!"

Liu Hu jumped up when he heard the sound, grabbed the black shadow with one claw, only to hear a miserable scream, a fat body was picked up by Liu Hu, his limbs were hanging in the air, his face was like dirt, and he even called for mercy, but it was Zhu Ji. Liu Hu didn't expect to be caught so easily, he couldn't help but be stunned, looked back and asked, "Your Majesty, how to deal with this person?"

Yuan Chengyi frowned, and shouted at Zhu Ji: "Who are you? Why are you walking around outside before dawn?

Since Zhu Ji escaped under Yi Tianxing and Mu Yuelian, he climbed over the wall and hid in a house, knocked the owner of the house unconscious, and then stayed in the house and did not dare to show his face, and waited for a long time without movement, before he came out of the fence to see what was going on, but as soon as he went out, he was caught by Liu Hu, Liu Hu was extremely powerful, although he wore a golden silk armor, he was not injured, but he was also in pain, and he struggled involuntarily, and when he heard the words, he endured the pain and replied tremblingly: "Zhu Ji, the grass people, is arresting the rebel for the emperor." ”

Liu Hu put him down and sneered: "It's up to you?"

Zhu Ji's forehead kept oozing beads of sweat the size of soybeans, but his face was full of flattering smiles, and said: "The grass people also know that their abilities are low, and it is difficult to serve the emperor, but I am brave and loyal, and only the heavens can show it. ”

Zhu Ji's face is ugly, although he has a smile, he can't make people feel good, but it makes people hateful, everyone heard him kill his father and seek glory and his face was ashamed, and his heart was full of contempt, Du Wenqi couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "!"

Zhu Ji pretended to be Qi Rong and said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and I have no choice, in order to be loyal, I have to bear the infamy of unfilial piety." ”

Yuan Chengyi immediately felt a big headache for him, this person was disobedient and unfilial, killed his father, and his crime should be punished, if he didn't kill him, wouldn't it be equivalent to recognizing such bad deeds, how could he explain to the people of the world, and this person's martial arts were low, Limited intelligence and despicable conduct, no merit, there is really no need to provoke infamy for him, but if you kill this person, I am afraid that it will chill the people who submit to you, now the overall situation is undecided, the third brother Yuan Chenggong is still leading the army, his martial arts and strategies are not under him, and his prestige in the army is unmatched, he should never be at this juncture to cause a branch and lose people's hearts.

Yuan Chengyi was thinking about it, Wei Fei suddenly said: "I don't know if what this person said is true, maybe he is just a thief who crows and dogs, and he steals here while the sky is still dark, and we catch him, so he lies and deceives in order to get away with it; According to the humble opinion of the grass people, it is better to put this person into the prison first, and wait for the truth to be found out before he is released. ”

Yuan Chengyi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Yes, now I don't have time to track down the truth, so I will put this person in prison first, and then make plans after the interrogation." ”

Zhu Ji was shocked and hissed: "Your Majesty, the grass people are wronged!"

Yuan Chengyi said: "As long as what you say is true, I will definitely give you justice." Now I will wronged you in prison for a while, I will find out the truth as soon as possible, you can rest assured. Then he looked back and said to Gong Ziku: "You personally put this, this Zhu... By the way, Zhu Ji, send him to the prison, arrange for the cell boss to take care of him, don't slack off, find out the truth as soon as possible, and tell me as soon as possible. ”

Gong Ziku took the order, grabbed Zhu Ji's pipa bone with his right hand, pulled Zhu Ji, who was paralyzed on the ground, like a dead pig, and walked towards the prison.

Before Yuan Chengyi and the others arrived at the school, they saw Wan Gui and his party who came to pass the word. After listening to Wangui's report, Yuan Chengyi couldn't help but groan, and Yuan Shixun sneered: "The second brother can't help but be smart, if the traitor party has been guarding the east gate, it is not impossible to leave the city after he enters the city." Moreover, since both the Netherworld and he could avoid the defenders of the East Gate and leave the city without knowing it, it was possible for others to do the same. Now we are not sure of the route of escape for the rebels, and if we only chase the south, I am afraid that we will lose sight of one and give the rebels a chance to escape through the east gate. ”

Wan Gui was very angry with Yuan Shisheng, and immediately echoed when he heard this: "What the prince said is very true. The grass people also felt that the second prince was more decisive than cautious. ”

Wei Fei shouted: "Presumptuous, when will it be your turn to evaluate the gains and losses of the second prince!"

Wei Fei has a lot of prestige in Shuzhou, and Wangui also knows that he has lost his words, afraid that this word will reach the ears of Yuan Shisheng, so he does not dare to return at the moment, and stands on the spot with an embarrassed expression. Yuan Chengyi thought that he was a huge rich man in the city, and he had a lot to rely on in the future, and he was about to speak to ease the atmosphere, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance in the west, and he raised his eyes and was overjoyed. I saw several men and women with different expressions riding their mounts towards this side. The first person has long eyebrows and shengxue, white beard hangs down his chest, crane hair and childish face, and carries a pair of backing dragon sticks on his back, like a fairy in the world, it is Wujun Zhu Guoyuan Chenglin; the latter person has a dark complexion, both hands are full of calluses, and he is holding a spear in his right hand, the gun seems to be made of vines, and his face is frosty, but not only does not make people feel haggard, but exudes a mature charm, which is the Bajun Zhuguo Mei'an; followed by Wu Yunniang of the Daijun Zhuguo, she was born with picturesque eyebrows, beautiful and moving, but more heroic than ordinary women, she was a famous beauty in Shuzhou, and she still has a demeanor after forty years, she is the only woman in the twelve pillars of the White Elephant Dynasty, but this does not prevent her from becoming a famous general in Shuzhou, she led the army to the expedition, has always rushed to the forefront, and the barbarian county Zhuguo Shipan, Guijun Zhuguo Liu Hu, Yao County Zhuguo Liu Lian with the same reputation for bravery, in the army prestige is very high, in the palm of the "breaking the formation", "open the territory" two willows - green @ color # small ¥ said & net - , Chang You's face is like a crown of jade, his beard is as black as ink, his body is tall and thin, but his eyes are dim, he doesn't seem to have much skill, the mount is very peculiar, it is a black unicorn, and the Jiuyao gun in his hand is also a well-known divine soldier in Shuzhou, but this person is deeply hidden, and he doesn't make a move, except for a limited number of people, most people don't value him much.

When Yuan Chengyi saw them, he couldn't pay any attention to Wan Gui, and said to Yuan Chenglin: "Cousin, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come to harm?"

Yuan Chenglin led the four pillars behind him to bow to Chenglin, and then said: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, the old minister is in good health." ”

The corners of Yuan Chengyi's eyes moistened slightly, and said: "I was frail and sick when I was young, if it wasn't for my cousin's maintenance, I don't know how many grievances and humiliations I would have suffered from those anointed children, my cousin's friendship, my younger brother, I have been remembering it for many years." ”

Yuan Chenglin remembered the scene of the Yuan Chengyi brothers, he was more than 20 years older than Yuan Chengdu, he became famous very early, when the young generation of the Yuan family relied on him to support the façade, he had high expectations for the Yuan Chengdu brothers, and he also loved and cared for them, often for them, until the Yuan Chengdu brothers grew up, he had been fighting abroad for many years, and there were fewer contacts between the brothers, hated Yuan Chengdu's lack of brotherly affection, so he had different aspirations, so Yuan Chengyi probed the wind and immediately agreed to rebel against Yuan Chengdu, and now Yuan Chengyi was triggered by Qing Huai, choked and said: "Your Majesty, please respect yourself, although the old minister is the emperor's cousin, but the emperor should call the courtiers 'I' Fang etiquette." ”

Yuan Chengyi said: "Without my cousin, there would be no me Yuan Chengyi today." From today on, you are the king of Zhenxi in this dynasty, and you are on an equal footing with me, regardless of dignity or inferiority. ”

Yuan Chenglin knelt down again: "Please ask the emperor to take back his order, the old minister will never dare to accept such a heavy reward." ”

Yuan Chengyi reflexively said to everyone: "Do you think my reward is too much?"

Although Liu Zhong and others were not very willing, one did not want to grudge with everyone, and the other did not know the true intentions of Yuan Chengyi, in the end, Yuan Chenglin was his cousin, and if he objected, it would be easy to be thankless, so all the courtiers knelt down to persuade him to be sealed. The masters of Yuan Chengyi's snare were even more unclear about the personnel of the DPRK and China, and of course they followed the crowd and knelt down together.

Yuan Chengyi laughed and said: "The king of Zhenxi is expected to return, don't shirk it, otherwise it will be a little fake." ”

Yuan Chenglin had no choice but to thank the emperor.

Yuan Chengyi smiled and said to the Zhuzhu Country who had just arrived: "The journey of the Zhuzhu Country is far and near, and even the direction is different, how can you come back hand in hand." ”

Mei An bowed down and said: "As soon as Weichen received the emperor's letter, he immediately rushed to meet Changzhu Kingdom in the west of Furong City, and we saw that it was still early, so we waited for the King of Zhenxi outside the city, and soon Wuzhu Kingdom also came." ”

Wu Yunniang continued: "The patriarch has the grace of reinvention for Weichen, and Weichen will never rush in front of him to grab merit and invite rewards, so he specially detoured to wait at the West Gate. ”

Yuan Chenglin is highly respected, Xiang is the head of the three counties of Xishu, and has rescued Wu Yunniang from danger on the battlefield several times, so although Yuan Chengyi feels that these people are more loyal to Yuan Chenglin than to himself, it is not easy to punish, but he is very unhappy in his heart, and he has an opinion on these people, and his face is moving: "You have come at the right time, I am chasing the rebel party who refuses to return, and now I don't know where to go, and I ask the king of Zhenxi to bother more and share my worries." At that moment, he roughly introduced the situation in the city to Yuan Chenglin.

Yuan Chenglin pondered slightly, and said: "They definitely didn't escape from the West Gate, we just came from there, and the three of Mei An were waiting outside the city gate, even the birds couldn't fly out." The east gate is also impossible, the ghost is proficient in the art of concealment, it is difficult for others to follow suit, no one in Furong City will be able to leave the city quietly without being discovered, and Shisheng must have been discovered by the soldiers guarding the city when he passed through the city gate, but the generals who defended the city recognized him and did not stop him. In addition, Shisheng's child is meticulous, and he will never be so negligent that he doesn't even find out if someone is lurking on the side, Wan Gui, Shisheng has searched for the enemy's traces when he passed through the East City Gate. ”

Wan Gui said: "The second prince also rushed through the city gate like a flyer, and I didn't see him searching." ”

Yuan Chenglin sighed and frowned: "Strange." ”

Wei Fei said coldly: "Could it be that the second prince doesn't have any special actions?"

Wan Gui said: "When the second prince passed by the city gate, he seemed to raise his hand, but he didn't throw anything out. ”

Wei Fei's tone was still cold: "Hundred steps to search for souls**." ”

Yuan Chengyi smiled: "Thank you Wei Lao for cultivating the dogs." ”

This hundred-step soul search** is the unique skill of Zhang Tianluo, the famous capture of Zhang Tianluo in the Warring States Period, which was created by integrating his many years of experience in handling cases and the induction spell of the Central Plains Heavenly Sect. Wei Fei said: "The second prince is very talented, and it is really a contemptible blessing to be able to have such a disciple." ”

Yuan Shixun has been personally guided by Yuan Chengyi since he was a child, and rarely has contact with the outside world, and Yuan Shisheng was born with different endowments, wisdom and courage, and diligence and studiousness, and has always been appreciated, his reputation as a big brother is not as far as that, so he is quite jealous of Yuan Shisheng, today I finally seized an opportunity to show his talent, but the hall was laughing because of his shallow knowledge, and now his ears are full of remarks that agree with Yuan Shisheng's judgment, but everywhere he seems to be thoughtful, he can't help but be annoyed and ashamed, and said loudly: " Father, since everyone has decided that the traitor has escaped from the south gate, let's chase after it quickly. ”

Yuan Chengyi heard the resentment in his words, and was very dissatisfied with his small size, but Yuan Shixun was his eldest son, loyal to himself, and had made a lot of contributions to his great cause of ascending the throne over the years, and he had already decided to pass on the throne to him in a hundred years, so he couldn't bear to hurt his face in front of the ministers, and folded his prestige, and said: "It makes sense, we have delayed a lot of time, and now we will go to the south gate to meet the enemy Tianjian and pursue it to the south." Cheng Ji, you quickly go to the east gate to inform Heliansha, and then come together. Ling Qianli released the carrier pigeon to Shi Pan and told him to intercept the rebel party on the road. ”

Cheng Ji and Ling Qianli immediately took the order and left, while Yuan Chengyi led the crowd to run towards the south gate.
