Out of concern for his younger brother, Yanchi lived in his mother's Changxia courtyard for a long time. This stay is half a month, fortunately, this is his mother's residence, otherwise it is really interesting to stay in the residence of the realm lord at such an age. However, after the words of the realm lord, no one dared to say some gossip about Yanchi.

In this way, Yanchi has the purity of the ear roots he wants. Self-cleanliness had always been his favorite, but it attracted more flatterers. Because this Changxia Courtyard was originally inhabited by the sons of two realm masters, and they were both candidates, Changxia Courtyard was the place where the workers walked around the most.

As a result, Yeonji is reluctant to stay here.

Finding the right time, he said goodbye to his mother and explained to his younger brother Yan Ze.

"I've given you something that you can't see here, and I've told you what I want to do. It's also good to have more people's opinions. It's time for me to leave, or we'll be misunderstood together. ”

"Actually, I was just talking nonsense that day, my brother is the one who really has the qualifications of the realm master. And it was cultivated by the parent world himself. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's okay if it's not the cultivation of the father's realm, you have this qualification, many gentlemen have praised your intelligence, and they all secretly say that you have a good concept of governance. I inquired privately, and they said you were a good person, but you were just a little more threatening as an adjunct. ”

Yan Ze smiled and said, "It seems that I am still not suitable for anything. ”

Yan Chi said with a serious face: "Even I can hear it, they are saying in disguise that you have the ability to be the master of the realm, and you are above me." If it's so simple, how can you, who are smarter than me, not hear it. If so, in time, you will surely rule over the Soul Breaking Realm. ”

Yan Ze's face was full of joy, and the shining eyes conveyed the joy brought by his brother's praise, because the rather heavy face with too much knowledge also had the innocent spirit he should have. At this time, Yan Ze didn't know how to answer his brother's words.

Yan Chi, who had changed his expression, became more serious, he pressed Yan Ze's shoulder, and asked, "Ze, tell me, why do you want to be the realm master?"

Yan Ze looked at his brother and said, "Because of my brother." ”

"Because of me?" asked Yan Chi incredulously.

"Yes. Because I found that every time my father mentioned that my brother was suitable, my brother's face was not very good. So I don't think my brother likes to be in the limelight, so let me share this worry for my brother. So I made myself work very hard, wanting my father to see me too, so that everyone's attention was not focused on my brother. ”

Yan Chi didn't expect his younger brother to think like this, but this had little to do with becoming the realm master, he wanted to listen to Yan Ze's words.

"Later, I was exposed to a lot of things about the outside world. It turns out that the outside world is not as good as here, although the outside world is free, but there are also people who are not clothed and do not cover themselves, and there are many civilians on our border who are oppressed by wandering ethnic groups because of geographical reasons. I thought before that if my brother became a realm master, I would have to tell him what to do. But my brother must not like others to give advice, so he has such an idea. ”

"I didn't expect you to think that. ”

Yan Ze changed his expression and asked, "Did you provoke my brother?"

"No, I foolishly thought that you wanted to be the Lord of the Upper Realm for some vain things, it seems that I misunderstood you. It seems that you are the most suitable person to be the Realm Lord, unlike me who is not in the position of Realm Lord. ”

Yan Ze was taken aback and asked, "Not on it, brother doesn't want to be the realm master?"

"Don't talk about it, I'm going to help you anyway, no matter who stands in the way. ”

It is precisely because of this determination that Yan Chi has always been behind his back to help Yan Ze point out, and even help him deal with some special affairs. Of course, afterwards, Yan Chi would still tell his younger brother why he had to deal with it like this.

As a result, the realm lord valued Yan Ze more and more, and began to regret that he only cared about and cultivated Yan Chi alone. Over time, the time of the Realm Lord in Yanchi began to be shorter than that in Yanze. Yan Xun, who was once again cared about by the realm lord with the help of Yan Chi, felt a little unwilling in his heart, and he felt that the second brother was the one who deserved all the attention. But Yan Xun, who was looked down upon, couldn't say anything, he only felt that only with a certain ability could he let the realm lord listen to his opinions.

Yan Chi's heart was on Yan Ze, and over time, he snubbed some Yan Xun. All this was seen by Yan Huan, but he could only comfort himself with the thought of their own brother. He didn't want Yan Chi to treat him as his own brother.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized it was unfair. In this way, Yan Huan chose the extreme.

After a long time, Yanchi began to take care of Yanzhuo who lived in the side room, and because of the heavy affairs, Yanchi rarely dined with Yanzhuo. It's been like this for a long time, Yan Chi didn't even know about Yan Huan's cultivation of the magic arts, and when someone later raised Yan Xun's abnormality, Yan Chi only looked slightly surprised and didn't ask too much.

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Yan Ze has become an adult, and Yan Xuan has also begun to be valued by the realm lord, Yan Chi has long passed his age but has been reluctant to start a family. The other brothers have chosen their own paths and are no longer concerned with matters within the realm. In the eyes of the realm lord, this position can only be pinned on by these three sons.

Yan Chi has always been steady, and he is also the head of the way in handling things, but it can be seen that he is not focused on this serious matter, and he doesn't seem to be a person who chases fame, fortune and prestige. The fourth son, Yanze, is a latecomer, and his previous talent is in front of him, and the problems he thinks about now are not one-sided, and he is very sympathetic to the people and advocates less war. He's a good candidate. And Yan Xun has never been taken seriously, and he has shown his head within a few years, but there is weirdness and scheming in his eyes that does not match his age. But such people are either the best candidates for the realm lord or the ones who bring danger.

Thinking like this, the always decisive realm lord ran out of ideas. The closest minister proposed that Yan Chi and Yan Ze were the right candidates, and Yan Huan was not only from a bad background, but also quite scheming and behaved strangely. The thousand minister also said some of the advantages and disadvantages of the two brothers Yanchi and Yanze, and finally said that Yanchi was not suitable.

"So that means that Yan Ze is the best person?" the Realm Lord asked.

"This is just the intention of one person, not counting, just suggesting to the realm lord. ”

"But Yan Chi is not only the eldest son, but also the best among these brothers, and he also thinks a lot about handling things. ”

Minister Qian then replied: "It is precisely because of a lot of consideration, how can a realm lord be indecisive. Although these four sons are not the eldest sons, they are also from the same birth as the eldest son. Moreover, the gentlemen and generals who have taught since childhood are also praised. ”

"Let me think about it. Go down. ”

When the three Yanchi brothers heard about it, Yanchi didn't react, but became more idle. Yan Ze didn't care about these words, he knew that his brother's relationship with him would not deteriorate because of this. Yan Huan was the only one, and after hearing this, he went out with a gloomy face, and he didn't come back for several days. Yan Chi searched for him for a few days, but he didn't find him.

Soon after, the minister died at home. His internal organs were penetrated, and his death was very tragic. When the servant heard the screams, he saw that his body was emitting black smoke, and his body was also covered with black stains.

This glance shows that it is the method of the Que Demon Clan.

A day later, Yan Huan returned, and his eyes had lost all clarity, just endless turbidity and gloom. He didn't answer anything others asked, and only when Yanchi asked, he said that he had fallen into the cliff and was able to come back later. Looking at Yan Xuan, who was ragged and had a negative look, Yan Chi also believed it.

But unexpectedly, Yan Ze still found out that Yan Huan was abnormal. He found his brother Yeonchi and wanted to do something about it.

"No way, he's always been obedient and I know if he's going to do bad things. Yan Chi angrily reprimanded Yan Ze.

"Impossible? It's all come to this, and you're still defending him. I have already sent someone to see it, and the injuries on his body are not deep, and the direction of the injuries is that he cut them with a knife. Moreover, none of his medicines were taken, and he was given them. And I inquired that there was a trace of the Que Demon Clan in one of our closest domains, and he obviously didn't go there, but he went there recently, and it was very frequent. ”

"What do you mean?"

Yan Ze fixed his eyes, looked at Yan Chi fiercely, and said, "He is secretly colluding with the Que Demon Clan to cultivate their magical arts. I'm afraid the death of the thousand ministers of the father's realm is inseparable from him. ”

After speaking, Yan Ze turned around and went out without looking back.

"What are you going to do?"

"It seems that you have been deceived by him, and I am free to let you sober up in my way. ”

When Yan Ze got out of Yanchi's house, he went to the Realm Lord and told the Realm Lord all his conjectures. The Realm Lord was already surprised by Yan Huan's rapid progress, but now that he was in addition to such a thing, he was also uneasy in his heart. So, after Yan Ze left, he called the closest secret guard and told him to observe Yan Ze carefully and do it if necessary.

Unexpectedly, Yan Huan, who has always been untrustworthy, instantly fell to the ground and lost his breath when he drank a cup of sugar water that Yan Ze gave to Yan Chi every day. Fortunately, Yanchi was not far away, and he saved Yanhu, who should have died, in time.

When Yan Xuan woke up, Yan Chi hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

"It's much better, if it weren't for the second brother's timely rescue, I'm afraid I would have been out of the sky a long time ago. ”

"What the hell is wrong with you? They said you were poisoned. ”

"That's right, I just drank the sugar water that my second brother gave me, and then I didn't know. Isn't it the fourth brother who gave it to the second brother, how can there be something, and the fourth brother doesn't know that this sugar water has been quoted by me recently, and he wants to hurt the second brother?"

In fact, the person who saw the doctor just now said that what Yan Huan drank was highly poisonous, and ordinary people would die immediately if they drank it. Yan Chi found someone to see it, because Yan Xuan had practiced the magic of the Que Demon Clan, and it took him a lot to save it. Yan Chi heard about Yan Ze again, and then remembered the last words of Yan Ze leaving before, and suddenly his eyes widened.

"Could it be Yan Ze?"

"How is it possible, how can the fourth brother put the second brother in danger, this is not something that a brother can do. It's not because of the choice of the Realm Master, is it?"

Yan Xun has been shifting his attention to Yan Ze, but unconsciously, he has also begun to reflect on this matter. Through Yan Chi's eyes, he also knew that what Yan Chi was thinking was that Yan Ze was going to kill him. It should be that he threatened Yanze's path, so he did this. Thinking of this, Yan Huan thought of the cold eyes and teasing he had said before, this time he would not give up, he must become the master of the realm, and then let the second brother only think about everything for himself, so that everyone can look up to this invincible him.

But none of them knew that the father they respected had done it. Because of the previous incident with Yanhuan's mother, the realm lord had some minds about this son, and he was even more disgusted with him. Although time has diluted this feeling, this betrayal is really like the honor of their honored family. Because he has long lost his love for his son, coupled with the death of Aichen and the crime of collusion, he must get rid of this hidden danger.

The last sentence of the Thousand Ministers' evaluation of Yeon-hu, even with his threats. The Realm Lord always remembered this sentence, but now the threat was not only not eliminated, but more dangerous.

No one expected that in the spring of the following year, the realm lord would be assassinated outside. His assassin was none other than his most hated son, Yeon.

The Realm Lord did not die immediately, and when he was about to leave, he said the next successor, and he had already lost his breath before he could say the punishment of Yanhu. His will was issued throughout the Soul Breaking Realm, and the fourth son, Yan Ze, was the next Realm Lord of the Soul Breaking Realm.

Getting the news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and even Yan Chi was happy for his younger brother in grief. The only thing he was unwilling to do was Yanxuan, he worked hard to get the position of the realm lord, but because he was captured, he gave this opportunity to the person he hated to the bone.

On the day that Yan Ze succeeded to the throne, he discussed with everyone about the disposal of Yan Huan. Almost everyone hated this lowly fifth son, and they all proposed that he be put to death to comfort the spirit of the previous realm lord in the sky. Only Yanchi objected.

Yan Chi knelt down on one knee and faced Yan Ze with the same courtesy as he did to the realm lord, and said, "No, we are brothers, and this not only makes the heavenly father see that we are killing each other, but also makes outsiders think that the realm lord is not close to humanity." ”

A minister who was in the previous term stood up and said: "Sure enough, the thousand ministers said that the prince was indecisive before, but now it looks like it's true." A son who killed his father and colluded with the Demon Clan, how could he be tolerated, who would talk about anything. But you always worry about such trivial things. ”

Yan Ze, who had been silent, stepped forward, helped his brother up, and said, "My brother is right, you and I are brothers, why should we care about these courtesies." ”

Turning around, he looked at Mu Li, who was silent on the side, and asked, "Mu Li, what do you think?"

Mu Li is a general who has stayed by Yan Ze's side from the beginning, and his relationship with Yan Ze is very close, and he has saved Yan Ze from fire and water many times. Although this Mu Li is a general, he is not inferior to an official in terms of wisdom. Therefore, Yan Ze likes to leave some important things to Mu Li to draw conclusions.

Mu Li bowed, bowed, and said, "This is indeed something that should be dealt with according to the law, but this is also the family of the realm lord. I'm better to wait. ”

Hearing this, Yan Ze looked at Yan Chi in front of him, and then at the ministers with righteous indignation on his face, and secretly made a decision in his heart, saying: "The sinner Yan Huan, disturbing the order of the Broken Spirit Realm, colluding with the Que Demon Clan, and practicing forbidden arts privately. Then, the former realm master who killed his father was unrepentant, and it was not a pity to die. But the memory of the guest of honor in the realm is not long in the world, and the brotherhood is still there. Therefore, if the sinner is exiled beyond the boundary, he cannot return to the boundary in this life. At the same time, it will be deprived of all its titles and abilities, and after a hundred rods, it will be cut off from all relations with the Broken Spirit Realm. ”

Hearing this, Yan Chi breathed a sigh of relief, Yan Xuan would be like this, and he couldn't get rid of it. If it weren't for his own snubbing, Yanwei wouldn't be like this. Fortunately, now Yan Ze has become the realm master, and this Broken Spirit Realm will be rectified as soon as it is ready, so his task has been completed.

After everyone left, Yeonji stayed here in Yeonze. Yan Ze knew that Yan Chi had something to say, so he retired from all his subordinates.

"Ze, I'm going to Guan Yunyu. ”

Yan Ze looked surprised and asked, "Why, didn't my brother help me rectify the Broken Spirit Realm?"

"No, you're just doing it, I'm relieved to let it go. I am also responsible for Yanhu's affairs, if I hadn't brought him to me in the first place, he should be an idle prince now. The Soul Breaker has also gotten worse. However, I believe that you can make the Spirit-Breaking Realm what you think it is, and you have the ability to do so. So, it's time for me to let go. ”

"Brother. ”

Yan Ji patted Yan Ze on the shoulder, lowered his head, and his shoulders trembled. He restrained himself, he couldn't shed tears, obviously his brother was already very successful, he could be alone.

"So, I'm going to go. With that, Yanchi was about to go out.

Yan Ze hurriedly stopped with his hand and said, "When is my brother leaving, I'll go and prepare for the repair of my brother's palace." My brother has to see how I fix it before leaving, otherwise if I make a mistake, there will be no one to help me. ”

Yan Chi put his hand on Yan Ze's shoulder again and said with a smile, "Ze, you can do it yourself." And, I can't wait. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I'll leave immediately, I can't wait, I don't know if Guan Yunyu has changed without me. By the way, if you have someone you like, don't suppress yourself, be sure to say it, it's not good to miss it. ”

With that, Yeonji walked out the door. Yan Ze didn't stop him anymore, he had a smile on his face, warm, just like Yan Chi did to him just now. Then, the rest of the time is to let yourself pray for your brother, so that he can exchange gray hair and green silk with the person he loves in the place he loves. He didn't know when the next meeting would be, but he hoped it would be right away, but he knew it wouldn't be, but it wouldn't be long.

Yanchi is fast all the way, and the flowers and plants on the road are blooming in spring. But Yanchi was in no mood to see it, as he said, he couldn't wait, that place, that person, he couldn't wait. He believed that the honeysuckle-like man must be waiting for him in the place they frequented most, and she couldn't wait.
