Yuezhou is the most serious among the three prefectures affected by the disaster, there are a large number of uninhabited villages, barren fields can be seen everywhere, some county towns have lost the prosperity and noise of the past, and even Yuezhou City is not as lively as before the disaster.

At this time, the sky has darkened, the lights are shining, in the past, it is the most lively time in Yuezhou City, but because of the impact of the disaster, prices have soared, and the streets are sparsely scattered with some small merchants and hawkers, although they are trying their best to sell, but few people care.

Chen Qi and his entourage entered Yuezhou City, Chen Qi looked at the somewhat desolate streets, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yuezhou is also the capital of the same name as Yunzhou, but this prosperity is far from Yunzhou. ”

Guo Dongming said: "I heard that the prosperity of Yuezhou is not as good as that of Yunzhou, and even more so after this disaster. ”

Chen Qi said: "I hope this disaster relief will not be like last time. ”

Guo Dongming said: "Definitely not, because there is a son here this time." ”

Chen Qi smiled: "Yes, yes, since Brother Wei has contributed to this matter, he will definitely do it." ”

"Well," Guo Dongming nodded, "Childe will be overjoyed if he learns that Brother Chen is also here, let's go quickly." ”

Chen Qi smiled and nodded, and then the group continued to move forward.

In the dark night, the Yuezhou Post House was brightly lit, and the guards in soft armor and armed blades stood all around. From time to time, people enter and exit the inn, but those who enter must pass through the guard at the gate unless they have a special token.

When Chen Qi and his entourage arrived at the gate of the post station, they all dismounted and stood on the side. Guo Dongming came to the gate and said to the guards: "Go and tell General Xue that Chen Qi is here." ”

Seeing that Guo Dongming said directly, the guards didn't dare to slack off, and with a "wait a minute", they turned around and entered the courtyard.

"Brother Chen!"

After a while, Wei Wu walked out of the courtyard quickly, Xue Chen followed closely behind, and when he saw the two of them coming, all the guards knelt down on one knee and saluted.

At this time, Wei Wu was slightly different from when he appeared in Xingyun Temple that day, there was a trace of nobility in the Qiyu Xuanang, and even the outfit on his body was slightly different.

Chen Qi looked at Wei Wudao and said, "I haven't seen you for a month, but I didn't expect Brother Wei to seem to be a different person." ”

Wei Wu said with a smile: "The person has not changed, the heart has not changed, my brother can come, Wei is very grateful." ”

Chen Qi said: "Brother Wei is polite, Brother Wei has worked hard for the country and the people day long, and I and Ximei should be guards." ”

Wei Wu smiled: "Brother is laughing, we are talking inside." After speaking, he led everyone into the post house.

After entering the room, Wei Wuping retreated, and only Wei Wu, Xue Chen, Guo Dongming, and Chen Qi's brothers and sisters were left in the room.

Ding Muxi said with a smile: "Brother Wei is in such a position, he should be a big official." ”

Wei Wu smiled: "How big an official does Miss Ding think I am?"

Ding Muxi said: "Although I don't know how big your official position is, judging from the fact that they all knelt down when they saw you just now, your identity is definitely not ordinary." ”

Chen Qi also said: "The first time I saw Brother Wei, I felt that you were not an ordinary person, but it was not good to ask too much at that time. ”

Wei Wu smiled, "Is my identity important to you?"

Chen Qi said: "I have befriended you as a person, we have the same temperament, you recognize me, I recognize you, that's fine, as for what your identity is, it really doesn't matter to me, now I mention it, it's just a moment of curiosity, Brother Wei doesn't have to mind, I think the time has come, you will tell you." ”

Wei Wudao: "I won't tell you at that time, first, we met for the first time, although it was the same at first sight, but I still have to be on guard, because I am in danger, and the other is that I am afraid that you will know my identity and have scruples, and you can't become friends who talk about everything, or even lose friends like you." ”

Chen Qi said: "Brother Wei is worried, I just said that I have befriended you as a person, not your identity. I am a Jianghu person, even if you are a prince, you have nothing to do with me. ”

Wei Wu smiled: "Since Brother Chen said so, then I will tell you my true identity, I am a prince." ”

When Chen Qi heard this, he immediately jumped up from the chair, and Ding Muxi, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, also stood up in surprise, while Xue Chen and Guo Dongming had faint smiles on their faces.

Chen Qi shook his head, "I didn't expect Brother Wei to be really a prince, although I had such a conjecture before, but when you told me the truth, I was still shocked." ”

Wei Wudao: "Actually, my name is not Wei Wu, my real name is Ji Xuan, and he is the ninth son of the current emperor of my Great Wei, in order to hide people's eyes, I can only give such a fake name." ”

Chen Qi said: "Brother Wei, no, I can't call you that now......"

Ji Xuan said: "If Brother Chen doesn't dislike it, we are still brothers, you can continue to call me Wei Wu." ”

Chen Qi said: "That's fine, the person I got acquainted with was Wei Wu, but in order to avoid being talked about by others, I will call you Your Royal Highness in front of people in the future, and I will also call you Brother Wei in private." ”

Ji Xuan smiled: "Brother Chen can think like this, I am very happy!"

Chen Qi said: "I don't know why Brother Wei, as a prince, was intercepted and killed before. ”

"This is a long story, although I am a prince, I was sent to the sect when I was a teenager. Ji Xuan pointed at Guo Dongming and said, "He is my second senior brother." This time I left the master's door, and the master and his old man specially asked the second senior brother to follow me to protect me. As for why I was killed, that's my family business. ”

Ding Muxi said: "Royal affairs cannot be regarded as just family affairs. ”

Ji Xuan said with a smile: "What Miss Ding said is that this really can't be said to be a family matter, because it involves the battle for the throne and the survival of Great Wei." ”

Chen Qi said: "I know who is going to kill you." ”

Ji Xuan nodded, "It's my second emperor brother who wants to kill me, the two of us are the two sons of my father who only live in the world, my second brother is the successor to the throne chosen by my father, my father is sick, most of the government has been handed over to my second brother to take care of over the years, but for some reason, he has made a mess of the government, reused traitors, suppressed virtuous ministers, and the wind of corruption prevailed, which made my Great Wei full of holes, if I don't rectify it, I am afraid that it will be in danger." ”

Chen Qi said: "Since he is the heir to the throne, isn't he the crown prince." ”

Wei Wudao: "Although my father chose him as the heir to the throne, he did not make him the crown prince, so that he could always stay sober and avoid arrogance. ”

Chen Qi said: "At this time, this should be a mistake. ”

Wei Wudao: "Although he didn't make him the crown prince, he should know in his heart that the throne will be hiss sooner or later." ”

Chen Qi said: "Isn't there still you?"

Wei Wu said with a smile: "When I was ten years old, I was suffering from a strange disease, and my father tried his best to do nothing, just when he was desperate, he suddenly remembered a friend he made in his early years when he was walking in the rivers and lakes, so he sent someone to send me with a token, this is my current master." ”

"When my master looked closely, he found that I was not suffering from a strange disease, but from a chronic poison. The master searched through the ancient pharmacopoeias, searched for experts in poison in the rivers and lakes, and finally found a way to detoxify. Since I was too deeply poisoned and my body was weak, Master helped me detoxify and let me practice some exercises to strengthen my body. ”

"It took more than two years for the poison in my body to be completely removed, and at that time I was also obsessed with martial arts and didn't want to leave Master. My father was very happy to learn that the poison in my body had been removed, although he had been tracking down the person who poisoned me for the past two years, but there was no progress, and he was afraid that I would encounter another accident when I returned to Beijing, so he asked me to stay with my master. ”

Chen Qi said: "The emperor is recruiting you back to Beijing now, is he going to replace him?" ”

Ji Xuan said: "It's not that I have to replace him, I have been away from the court for a long time, and I have no interest in imperial power, I just want to be a chivalrous and righteous hero, and I feel very speculative when I see Brother Chen." But after all, I was born in the royal family, and when the royal family is in trouble, I should be duty-bound, and my father recruited me back this time to deter and balance him, so that he has a sense of crisis, so as to restrain himself from the precipice and change his mind. ”

Chen Qi said: "He thinks you are here to take his throne." ”

Ji Xuan said: "Exactly, that's why he hired the Jianghu Killer Organization to put me to death." ”

Chen Qi said: "In the end, he didn't succeed, which is called more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust." ”

Ji Xuan said: "I hope from the bottom of my heart that he can repent, then the throne is still his, so that I can go to the Xingxia Jianghu with Brother Chen." ”

Chen Qi said with a smile: "I hope Brother Wei's wish can come true." ”
