Chapter 38: Sealed!

Zhou Yihan's expression was a little restrained, but this was not just the kind that was performed in the past, but he really held his breath subconsciously, the girl who was supported out was clearly only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her facial features were soft, but her eyes were deep, and her temperament was quiet and silent like a deep valley, giving people an unfathomable coldness.

Dressed in white clothes, with socks and green shoes.

The jade pendant hangs down from the waist, but it is not as complicated as an ordinary lady, there is no golden step, golden wisps, only a black wooden hairpin to tie her hair, which adds to the purity, and when the eyes are swept over, there is an indescribable weight, which makes Zhou Yihan, who has been accustomed to the jackals, tigers and leopards around him since he was a child, nervous.

The girl looked through the letterhead brought by Zhou Yihan, and saw that in the text written on it, she briefly described a magical power called [Yuanguang Manifestation Method], and told the importance of the Seven Princes, the handwriting of the young Taoist was simple, concise and to the point, the Seven Princes must not die, once they die, the world will be chaotic, the demons will commit the border, the soldiers' fighting spirit will be low, and there will be a big rout.

And how to save Li Zhai is a simple eight words.

【Coerced by the name】

【Forced to Fight】

Fu mentioned again that if the emperor released Li Zhai, then he had a word for Li Zhai.

Li Qiongyu put the letterhead away, her face did not change in the slightest, she just smiled and said, "Thank you girl for the trip." ”

"No trouble, no trouble."

"It's just that I just happened to meet it, and I have to thank that Taoist for not being angry."

Zhou Yihan took the initiative to mention the young Taoist he encountered.

Li Qiongyu's eyes raised slightly, and said, "I don't know, I met him somewhere." ”

Zhou Yihan couldn't see the slightest joy and anger on Li Qiongyu's face, that face was like a statue carved out of fine white jade, and his eyes were like black gems, so he looked at her calmly, so Zhou Yihan didn't dare to do anything to embellish it, so he had to tell how he met the young Taoist and how he was appointed by him.

Li Qiongyu sat there quietly, like a dignified mountain god.

The white palm of his hand shrouded in the wide sleeves of the white robe, and he only tapped his index finger lightly against the table.

"I see......"

Li Qiongyu's voice paused slightly, and then said:

"So, Miss Zhou is here to ask for a way to live for the Runan Zhou family, right?"

Zhou Yihan's body paused slightly, she didn't say these things before, or rather, such things were hidden in her heart, it was impossible to say it at a time of life and death, and she didn't mention it, but she was broken by the woman in front of her, and she couldn't help but pause slightly.

Li Qiongyu said: "Miss Zhou doesn't have to make many choices, she can live in the Qin Palace. ”

"In a short period of time, you will be fine, and the Zhou family will be fine."

It's just that at this time, the woman in Tsing Yi came here in a hurry, looked at Li Qiongyu, her face faintly lost her previous composure, Zhou Yihan saw that her face was slightly pale, and the divine light in her eyes shook violently, but her reaction was stronger than when she told her that she was the young Taoist.

One is delighted.

And now at this time, it's pure shock.

Zhou Yihan quickly retracted his eyes, his face was full of harmlessness and ignorance, like a person who had fallen into a strange environment, and was very helpless and ignorant of everything, so that people would not be on guard, Li Qiongyu glanced at her, and called the girl in Tsing Yi to come in, the maid in Tsing Yi whispered a few words in Li Qiongyu's ear, her palms trembled slightly, and Li Qiongyu's eyes were peaceful.

"Miss Zhou, are you deciding whether to marry the Seventh Prince?"

"Why don't you go and sit behind the screen."

Zhou Yihan was stunned.

Seeing Li Qiongyu's eyes flat, there were ripples: "The Seventh Prince, it's just outside the door." ”

Zhou Yihan: "!!! ”

The seventh prince Li Zhai wore a hood to cover his emaciated face like a sick tiger, and in the twilight, he was brought into the Qin Mansion by the attendants of the Qin Palace, carrying a red lantern, and after he was released, he staggered out and saw that the mansion that had been blocked by layers was empty, only some coiled in a conspicuous place.

But after Li Zhai left here, he did not leave as quickly as the emperor expected.

Instead, he went straight to the Qin Palace.

In the sunset, the red lantern revealed a blood-like color, Li Zhai walked to the lobby, when the door was opened, he saw a girl sitting in the top place, white clothes like old eyes like stars, the two sides looked at each other, Li Qiongyu's eyes were filled with a trace of ripples, and said, "Seventh brother." ”

"Qiongyu, you can still recognize me."

"I'm scared half to death when I look in the mirror myself, hahaha, what the hell is this."

Li Zhai laughed, took off the hood used by the soldiers, the originally radiant face had already been emaciated by the disease in his heart, revealing traces of cheekbones, but a pair of eyes were particularly cold and focused, he sat on the stool on one side, swept a cup of tea on the table, did not say anything, and said concisely:

"The emperor released me."

"He said he had a hard time, something that he had to do when he sat in his place."

"I believe half of his words, because the best lies are always half-truths and half-truths to deceive people."

"I was stunned, I didn't know which ones were true and which ones were fake, my father, it was true, it was a pity!"

Li Zhai laughed a few times, and then sighed again: "However, there are some things that are true......"

Li Qiongyu didn't say it, she knew that Li Zhai came here just to simply explain some things, Li Zhai held the tea, was silent for a while, and said: "I don't know what happened back then, what the internal things were, but I know that you came to avenge your father and wash away your grievances, and the ambition of the five surnames and seven sects, and the wrist of the fourth brother, these are all true." ”

"It is also true that the prestige of the emperor was curtailed."

"In other words, there is already the possibility of troubled times."

"Hey, I was taken down and put into prison, it was seen with the eyes of those small countries around me, they have always been short-sighted, and I am afraid that there are hidden dangers at the border gates, what the emperor said is that there are many wrongs, and there is also a sentence that is true, once the domestic chaos occurs, the border passes will be lost, and under the staggering of the two, there will be troubled times, and the people will suffer."

"I can't just leave it alone."

"Is that okay? No, you can't. ”

"Even if I guess in my heart that he came to me, it was Huairou's plan, it was a suspicious formation, he may just want the situation to be simpler and more under his control, so he asked me to leave the capital, I have to obey his arrangement, there is no way to avoid it, this is an upright plan, even if I know his purpose, there is no way."

Li Zhai took a big sip of this tea and said:

"Brother Ling Qi is not a smart person, but I know that the soldiers are not for the sake of fighting for the king and becoming the emperor."

"It's about protecting the country and the people."

"To be an emperor? I didn't have that interest, so I wanted to sit on that chair, rather than sit on the mound of the grassland, and watch the border people pick up the dried cow dung and go back to the fire to make a fire. ”

"Besides, I don't have the brain."

The leader of the military family closed his eyes, as if he had seen the scenery of the border pass, and muttered: "I will be stationed at the border pass, as long as I am alive, I will not let the demon clan and the rest of the countries invade the border, but ...... Don't set off a chaotic world, don't let my countless people and soldiers lose their fathers because you lost your father, Qiongyu, this is my only request. ”

Li Zhai opened his eyes, took a deep breath, leaned forward, his eyes looked at the girl at the top calmly, but there was also an indescribable sharpness.

Once Li Qiongyu makes other choices.

Within seven steps, he would kill her outright.

At this moment, the leader of the military family, outside of the magnificent military situation, seems to have begun to understand the rest of the schools.

It's not just the young and hot-blooded, it's just the royal art of war that oppresses people.

Forcibly stabilize the situation, so that there is no chaos in the country, and belong to the four princes, and he will guard the border for life.

Li Qiongyu looked at him and said quietly, "I swear." ”

"It will contain Ah Feng."

Li Zhai looked at her fixedly, and the [Mirror Heart Method] of the leader of the soldiers reflected Li Qiongyu's heart.

So he scratched his head, just like the honest and simple when he was still in Zhongzhou before everything happened, laughed a few times, and said: "Ah Feng listens to you the most, I believe in you, then, Seventh brother, I will go, you go to claim the title of king, in my life, I am afraid that I will not be able to add the title of [Wang] to my name." ”

"It's good to be just a general until you die."

Li Zhai waved his hand and got up.

Li Qiongyu said: "Seventh brother." ”

Li Zhai smiled and said, "Huh? What's up, girl. ”

Li Qiongyu said: "There is a familiar Taoist who asks me to say a word to you. ”

"Huh?"

"Actions speak louder than words, and listening is dark."

Li Zhai's eyes changed slightly.

Li Qiongyu said: "If the seventh brother wants to know what happened back then, when he goes to the border pass, he might as well take Jinzhou." ”

Li Zhai recalled what the emperor said in his mind, his eyes narrowed slightly, he nodded, and said concisely: "I will." He put on his hood again and walked out slowly, Li Qiongyu's tone was soothing, and said, "Miss Zhou, come out." ”

Zhou Yihan walked out from behind the screen, his little face slightly pale.

Li Qiongyu said: "The emperor let him go, so he won't do anything to your Zhou family." ”

"Just, what are you going to choose?"

Zhou Yihan gritted her teeth, between being the first few wives and concubines of the four princes, and accompanying a man who was recognized as a heroic man to the border and never coming back, it seemed that it was not difficult to choose, but it seemed to be extremely difficult to choose, and finally she said: "I am willing to accompany the Seventh Prince......"

Li Qiongyu raised her eyes and said in a calm tone: "Very good decision." ”

"Then, Miss Zhou might as well hand over the seal of the Zhou family's order to me."

She smiled slightly.

When he laughed, he was not as cold as usual, and said:

"No matter who wins or loses in the end, the Zhou family will be safe."

The four princes won, Zhou Yihan is the wife of the seventh prince, and because of the importance of brotherhood, her Zhou family will not be completely liquidated; If the King of Qin wins, then the Zhou family will be the great contributor to the battle of the King of Qin, and the Zhou family will be fine, and she herself will be in a safe position no matter what.

Zhou Yihan looked at the cold and elegant beauty in front of him, and said word by word:

"King Qin can also have the most valuable first help when his power is at its weakest, right?"

Li Qiongyu asked, "So, what about your decision?" ”

Zhou Yihan took out a seal and gently put it on the table, then exhaled a breath, turned around and left the Qin Palace, and then she rode a fast horse and chased the Seven Princes away, Li Qiongyu held the seal of the Zhou family in her hand, looked at the sunset outside, her shoulders were thin, her eyes were gentle, she took out the letterhead, and gently brushed the words left by the young Taoist with her palm.

And the girl of the Zhou family, who was gentle on the surface and decisive on the inside, was caught by the leader of the military family who was proficient in anti-tracking.

The little face turned pale and said, "Stop, stop!" ”

"No, don't kill me."

Li Zhai, who was like a sick tiger, was cold: "If it weren't for the fact that Fang just detected your qi at Qiongyu, you would have died under my sword, saying, who are you?" ”

"I, I'm your fiancΓ©e!"

Li Zhai's expression froze: "Ha?!! ”

"I, I belong to the Zhou family, I'll accompany you to the border."

"What ?!!"

Li Zhai looked this weak girl up and down, sneered, collected the weapon, and guessed that Qiongyu was not at ease with herself.

So he said lazily: "If you are not afraid of death, just follow." ”

Historians always love the legend of the brave and mighty king in a desperate situation, in the era when the throne was shaken, this heroic man who was extremely amazing and brilliant among the soldiers of all dynasties chose to retreat bravely, gave up the opportunity to sit on the highest position, and went to the border, and the storytellers in the three religions and nine streams are in love with the story of the mighty king and his princess.

The once wanton and romantic mighty king, but he fell in love with the descendants of the Zhou family who were overthrown by his ancestors 8,000 years ago.

The deeds of that legend have been compiled into countless stories and circulated in the teahouses and tasteens of later generations.

These stories have always been reprimanded by historians as romantic and wild history.

But even the most demanding historian must admit it.

For the mighty king who was on the battlefield, it seemed that the iron blood had never taken half a step back in the years, and the girl who appeared at the lowest point in his life was an extremely important existence, so that the martial arts were abolished at that time, the heart was seriously injured, and the mighty king who was full of anger like a sick tiger walked back to the right path.

No matter what its original purpose was, at the end of the story, it was like a wisp of wind passing over the battlefield, a colorful ribbon tied on the robe of the mighty king, and it was the most important existence to be ignored.

The brave and mighty king, the wife is the last vein, and it is difficult to have children.

The king never remarried.

- "The World's Famous Generals, Terrans, Brave and Mighty Kings"

On the second day, the emperor held a large court meeting, which was the first large-scale court meeting after the crown prince was deposed.

And after the crown prince was deposed, the whole world was faintly changing, even the ministers in the court, the families with five surnames and seven sects, were also subconsciously choosing new supporters, and in the end they mainly converged into two factions, one was the fourth prince Li Hui, and the other was Li Weifeng, the king of Qin.

One recognized the name and power of the four princes, and the other recognized the general trend and name of King Qin, as well as the guilt in his heart about the events of the year.

Even today, there is a faint distinction between civil and military officials.

"Go to the court, a hundred officials will meet you!"

With a very high voice, Baiguan and King Qin, the four princes entered.

The emperor sat on a high seat, his face was pale, the emperor bowed slightly, signaled to the chief eunuch on one side, and read out the holy decree, so after the silence, his own voice said slowly: "The prince has no virtue, it violates the family and country, and he has his personality, and now there are four princes Zihui, young and talented, literary and martial, and now, he is the prince!" ”

So the eyes of the fourth prince Li Hui flashed with a hint of surprise, and many civil and military officials were beaming.

In the first decree.

The prime minister's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was silent.

Order the seven princes to leave, stabilize the hearts of the people and the border of the soldiers, suppress the crown prince, support the four princes as the crown prince, suppress the king of Qin, liquidate the family that supports the king of Qin, in the end, the border pass is still the prince to defend the country, and the fourth prince is the crown prince, there is no reason to oppose the current emperor, to win over the division, to put it mildly, cultivate an heir, stabilize the country, is the emperor's means.

But at this time, the great eunuch took out the second holy decree!

Said: "Today, Li Weifeng, the king of Xuanqin, has been promoted from the king of the second rank to the prince of the first grade. ”

"Give the sword to the temple."

"You can enter the court or not worship!"

The civil and military officials behind Li Weifeng were also happy among the big families, but the old prime minister opened his eyes suddenly, he couldn't believe it, his scalp was numb, and he felt the-for-tat between the prince and the king of Qin, as well as the civil and military officials being divided, and his heart was cold......

The old prime minister raised his head, and the civil and military officials were behind the King of Qin and the crown prince, and their hearts were excited.

It's not that they can't see the danger, but now their attention is attracted by the incomparably bright future.

Man dies for money, and birds die for food.

And the emperor sat on a high place, on the cold throne, holding the throne with both hands, his eyes lowered, and the beads of the twelve crowns were scattered, covering his eyes, covering his face, and he couldn't see it really, as if he was looking down on everything, and everything was under control.
