In the dimly lit dungeon, the air was filled with the musty smell of decay, and rats were speeding past the wooden beams.

The chains clanged, and then the wooden door creaked and opened.

"Duke Qi Guo, General Wei Chi has come to see you......" Behind the door, the little official bowed his waist, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and next to him was a general with a helmet and armor that looked very heroic. After Yu Wenxian heard that it was Wei Chi Yuan, his tense body quietly relaxed again: "It's you......"

The person who came was the one in the impression, with a square face with thick eyebrows and a purple begonia face...... Wei Chi Yuan is one of the henchmen of the imperial brother Yu Wenyong, at the very least, he definitely did not come this time to ask for his life.

"Your Majesty asked me to come and see Your Highness, is Your Highness okay?" Wei Chi Hui behaved very respectfully to Yu Wenxian, this is of course respecting Yu Wenxian's identity, but also recognizing Yu Wenxian's ability, to be honest, although Yu Wenxian was defeated, but his military talent still belongs to the top column in the Great Zhou, even the old generals such as Wang Liang who is idle at home are full of praise for him, Daqi is menacing this time, Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, Gao Changgong, Xue Guyan and other famous generals have done their best, Yu Wenxian can fight to the last step, and it is not easy to retreat.

"Lone is fine, Lone is just worried about her mother at home, she probably already knows that I am being put in prison, I hope that the royal brother will take care of her for me, in addition, I am very good here, and I have no hardships......"

Yu Wenxian raised his head, his gaze calm and indifferent. Wei Chi Zhen's heart moved, Yu Wenxian was lonely and indifferent, but he was a dutiful son. The reason why Emperor Yuwen Yong and Otsuka Zai Yu Wenhu look up to him is this, a filial person, most of his hearts are upright, such people rarely have two hearts, at least, this is not the true color of a hero. Yu Wenxian's talent is outstanding, Yuwen Hu and Yu Wen Yong both want to take him under their command, such a person must be protected.

It's just that Yu Wenxian's situation is really not good now, he is entangled in shackles, and his hands and feet are shackled by iron chains. Wei Chi found that after not seeing him for more than a year, Yu Wenxian had already lost a lot of weight, and he was also a little haggard, with unkempt hair and stubble. However, the momentum is more formidable than before, and when you look at him from a distance, you will feel that he has become a completely open sword, and you will feel awe-inspiring when you look at him......

[Duke Qi went to Fenbei to fight here, and he has grown a lot......] Wei Chi came back to his senses and became more and more respectful to Yu Wenxian: "Your Highness, you can rest assured, Your Majesty has ordered someone to take the old lady into the palace, and her old man doesn't know that something happened to you......" He paused, and said: "You have to be wronged by Your Highness to suffer for a while, and Your Majesty will soon be able to rescue you......"

When Yu Wenxian heard that Yu Wenyong thought so thoroughly, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and bowed his head: "I'm tired of the imperial brother, come to catch me as a useless general of the defeated army......"

Wei Chi said with a straight face: "Your Highness doesn't have to be presumptuous, Your Highness has done his best, all the princes of the Manchu Dynasty are looking at it, now in this Chang'an City, who doesn't know that His Highness is a hero who stands up to the sky?" Without you, how could our army survive in Fenbei until now? ”

"Hu Luguang and Gao Changgong almost hollowed out the family of the Lord of Qi, and only then did they win the battle His Highness, if there was no Otsuka Zai's constraints, our army would not stop there."

Yu Wenxian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Wrong, no matter what, our army will be defeated in this battle......" He turned his head to look, and the oblique sunlight penetrated through the cracks in the wall tiles, which was very dazzling. "In this battle, the Qi army is united, and the famous generals come out, whether it is Yecheng or Jinyang, whether it is a king or a courtier, they are all full of strength to win this battle...... Duan Xiaoxian and Hu Luguang are worthy of being famous generals in the world, and if one of these two survives, it will be difficult for our dynasty to advance eastward......"

He muttered: "That Qi lord is not a mediocre lord, after Gao Zhan's death, he was actually sharp, and it is said that he has the posture of a high god and martial arts." He is now reforming the court, and the national strength of the Qi country may be greatly increased, and it will only be more difficult to ...... in the future......"

"Then we should help Your Majesty get rid of Yuwen Hu as soon as possible!" Wei Chi raised his eyebrows, "Since Yuwen Hu took power, the discipline of the monarchs and ministers has been chaotic, and the people's hearts have long been in turmoil, if the old thief does not die, how can he surpass Gao Qi, when will Emperor Taizu's ambition and hegemony be realized?" ”

Yuwen and Gao, two grievances, two grievances...... The hatred of the country and the family will never die.

"I understand, but Yuwen Hu is not so easy to get rid of, is the imperial brother sure?" Yu Wenxian's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring Wei Chi Yuan a little sober. Yuwen Hu has been in power for many years, and there are many party henchmen who are deeply rooted. Not to mention that Yu Wenyong has limited power now, even if Yu Wen Yong is in power, he will not dare to act rashly. It's just that Yu Wenxian said it at this time, what does it mean?

He frowned and looked at Yu Wenxian, not understanding Yu Wenxian's attitude.

Yu Wenxian sighed and said, "You can't be in a hurry, I expect that this time Yuwen will return to the court, you will definitely advise the imperial brother to make it difficult for Yuwen to protect him, yes or no?" If Wei Chi didn't speak, he was acquiescing.

"I'm not saying you're wrong, but you can't rush it. After this battle, even if Yuwen Hu's prestige is damaged, but after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and he has always been cunning and cunning, and he will definitely be prepared to return to the dynasty in a hurry this time, and you will definitely die when the time comes......"

"The imperial brother has long passed the age of being in power, can Yuwen Huyan not be afraid? The more Yuwen Hu is afraid, the more the imperial brother should pretend to be the same as before, calm down, and wait for the opportunity to move, so that he can have a chance to turn defeat into victory! ”

Wei Chi Zhen glanced at him deeply and said, "I will tell Your Majesty, Your Highness should rest for a good time, and retire from your humble position." ”

"Slow down ......"

Calm returned here, Yu Wenxian hung his head, and his mind was deducing the conversation between him and Wei Chi Yuan from side to side.

Just now...... Wei Chi Yuan came to test him?

Brother Huang, Brother Huang, I am your own brother, in your eyes, even I need to be guarded against?

He suddenly felt very tired and tired, but after coming back for a few days, the treacherous clouds and intrigues in Chang'an City had already made him feel disgusted......

"Your Majesty, the last general went to see the Duke of Qi, and he told Weichen that Your Majesty must not be in a hurry now, and must wait for the opportunity to move......"

In the Chang'an Imperial Palace, in the imperial garden, the sun was like fire, and Wei Chi followed a young man to report the situation of Fang Cai.

A young man in a dark shirt paced among the flowers, followed by an armored general.

Emperor Yu Wenyong of the Zhou State is now less than thirty years old, and his appearance is very Zhouzheng, with a slight hair on his lips, but his skin is slightly pale.

After listening to Wei Chi's reply, a slight scrutiny first appeared in his eyes, and then he seemed to smile very happily: "Did he really say that?" Loyal to the ear, what he said is not heard, but it is really a warning to me. It seems that Ah Xian is still on my side......"

"Your Majesty......" Yu Chi was just about to say something more, but Yu Wenyong raised his hand to block what he was about to say: "Hey, don't say it, I think he is right, it's not time to deal with my cousin now, beware that he has been prepared, then our forbearance and hard work over the years will be in vain......"

"If you endure for a while, you can take the lead." Yu Wenyong said with his hands behind his back.

Although Yuwen Hu is a lot older, Yuwen Yong is indeed the same generation as Yuwen Yong.

Yuwen Hu is Yuwen Tai's own nephew.

"Your Majesty, Yuwen Hu has lost the battle, you can completely hold Yuwen Hu accountable and seize the power in his hands!" Wei Chi exhorted hard.

Yu Wenyong glanced at him, and then said: "I don't allow, not only you, but others, I don't allow them to make a move now, if it interferes with my plan, I only ask ...... you!" ”

"Could it be that you let him go like this?" Wei Chi was unwilling.

"I don't want to, but what if you don't let him go? Can you take his power, or dare you kill him? His calm tone was stern: "Not only will I not blame him, but I will pardon him, and I will ...... him High supply. ”

He looked back at the other general and instructed him, "Shenju, arrange the ceremony to welcome Otsuka Zai, the more grand the better......!" ”

"Yes!" The white-armored general clenched his fists and replied angrily.

"What about Yuwen Hu's request for peace?"

"Just say yes......"

"Your Majesty, that's the whole Fenzhou, and there are Hedong ...... among them!"

"I don't want to give it, but now that the wood is in the boat, look at Yuwen Hu's posture, are you here to discuss with me?"

Yuwen Hu is used to being arbitrary, and Yu Wen Yong has always indulged him, as long as it is something that Yu Wen Hu proposes, he almost never disagrees.

Speaking of this, Yuwen Yong also had a trace of helplessness in his heart, stretched out his hand to brush aside a branch that was blocking the way, and said: "Yuwen protects the country, I know, but now, I can't move him, it's not time, it's not time......"

After walking more than a dozen steps, the grove was exhausted, and a water pavilion appeared in front of him, and on a small pavilion above the water pavilion, the woman heard the sound of the conversation here, turned around in surprise, walked forward, and Ying Ying bowed: "Your Majesty......"

The woman was born very beautiful, wearing a well-fitting palace embroidered dress, her skin was snow-white, her hair was like dark clouds, her facial features were exquisite, her nose was high, and her eyes were faintly blue. Yu Chi Hui and Yuwen Shenju both bowed and bowed: "See the queen mother." ”

Yuwen Yong Empress Ashina, the daughter of the wooden pole Khan of the Western Regions of the Megatron Grassland, the pearl of the grassland.

In order to marry the Turks, Yuwen Yong married her as the queen, but Yu Wenyong didn't like her very much, and she has always been like a couple.

This time was no exception, Yu Wenyong squeezed out a smile very reluctantly, and said:

"Today's sun is big, don't get sick, you go back first, I still have important things to discuss......"

"Your Majesty......" The woman was about to come over, but suddenly she was glared at by Yu Wenyong, he slowed down his voice, but he was still cold: "Obedient." ”

The woman was glared at by his disgusting eyes, and suddenly her heart ached, her lips were pale, her head was lowered, and she was speechless.

"You go down first, and I'll look for you again in the afternoon......" Yu Wenyong is not a hard-hearted person, although he doesn't like his queen and guards against her mother's family behind her, but after all, they are husband and wife, and the foreign minister is here, he always has to give his wife some decency.

“…… If you have time, I'll teach Yun'er more homework, huh? "Yuwen Yun is not the biological son of Ashina, but born to Yuwen Yong's favorite concubine Li, as Yu Wenyong's eldest son, Yu Wenyong has high hopes for him. Yu Wenyong handed over the power to discipline Yu Wenyun to her, which was enough to move Ashina, who had always been unfavored.

"The concubine obeys ......"

Watching the queen leave, Yuwen Yong continued: "This year is really eventful, not to mention the defeat of Yuwen Hu's tens of thousands of troops in Fenbei, the old general Da Xiwu is also gone this year, and Yang Fu's father and son were captured again......"

He recalled it carefully and said, "Also, Yue Qin Shiliang, Han Jingli, Han Huan, and a number of Xianbao ......, alas, the loss is huge......

"Give Hongnong Yang and a few families a little compensation, after all, many people have died, all of them are Zhuguo, and this face is too much to give......"

"Otherwise, through Yang Jian, let him deal with it, he is familiar with his face, and his identity is ...... enough."

"What about Royan?" Yu Wenyong muttered Yang Jian's Xianbei small characters, and frowned slightly: "It's not suitable, let's change someone......"

His fingertips subconsciously exerted force, and a branch was broken......

Yang Jian's attitude is ambiguous, left and right, Yu Wenyong doesn't like him.
