In the first battle of Lingshan Tavern, the killer who assassinated Xiang Lin was killed and five wounded, and the whole army was wiped out.

The efficiency of the Great Chu spy organization was really not low, and the identity of the assassin was quickly ascertained - these six people were all henchmen and disciples of the Martial King Qi Longxiang.

On that day, the nighthawk Si Shunteng, who was in charge of the Dachu espionage, touched the melons and eliminated two secret dens of the Qilong Xiangyu Party.

When the report was sent to Xiang Lin's desk, he had a hangover and glanced at it casually, lifted the red pen and swiped it one by one.

Ji Chengche sat aside boredly, shook his head and said, "With a hook of your pen, dozens of heads fell to the ground." ”

Xiang Lin said coldly: "These days, including the Holy Capital City, there are a total of seventy-nine murders reported in various parts of Dachu, of which more than sixty percent are related to the remnants of the traitorous party, and those who were killed were either court officials, or military generals, and some witch sect wizards...... Since they don't want to give up, I can only turn them into dead people. ”

He dropped the red pen, his eyes flashed with angry cold light, and said: "The 10,000 defenders of Anhe County have rebelled, the three counties and nineteen counties west of Bailing have rebelled, and even the border troops stationed in the Southern Barbarian Land have to mutiny. What's ridiculous is that they all started to do the right thing for heaven and hang the banner of crime for the people, saying that I killed my brother and rebelled against my father, insulted the queen mother and oppressed the princess, turned my back on the witch cult and colluded with the demon clan, and forgot my ancestors and betrayed the country for glory......"

Ji Chengche couldn't help coughing and said, "This demon refers to me?"

Xiang Lin's eyes were like cold electricity: "This group of people is not so simple and naïve, they don't even let go of the big priest's order, saying that she is the remnant of the demon clan harboring evil intentions, and intends to control the witch sect to subvert the orthodoxy of the witch clan." ”

Ji Chengche said hesitantly: "Snow falling is not uncommon to be a witch sect holy master!"

Xiang Lin paused slightly, "The Great Commander has decided to take over the Witch Sect?"

Ji Chengche was speechless and nodded silently.

Xiang Lin glanced at him deeply, and said with a strange smile on the corner of his lips, "Why didn't you stop her?"

Ji Chengche said: "She has her own insistence, what she decides to do, I can't and shouldn't stop it." ”

The smile on the corner of Xiang Lin's lips disappeared, and he said, "You want me to give up my junior sister around the corner?"

Ji Chengche groaned: "You took the opportunity to be drunk in the tavern and asked me five times in a row why. Now that you're drunk, I'd like to ask you—"

"Why do you think Wang Rou must belong to you? Why do you want to kill me again and again, and I still have to help you? Why does your father let me carry the black pot, and I still have to take care of you for him? Why can't I take care of Wang Rou? Why do I ......?"

He stared at Xiang Lin's eyes and said word for word: "I want to listen to you?"

Xiang Lin said lightly: "Because I am the Emperor of Great Chu and your half-brother." ”

"Bullshit!" Ji Chengche sneered and said, "Your emperor's throne, Your Highness is not uncommon. As for you saying that you are my brother, have I ever admitted it?"

Xiang Lin said: "If you don't think it's the best, you don't have to be polite when you start." ”

Ji Chengche said: "Before you start, you should settle the wine account first." ”

Xiang Lin was slightly surprised: "What kind of wine account?"

Ji Chengqing said strangely: "Fight for wine, you lost." Forgot?"

Xiang Lin raised his sword eyebrows and said, "I don't seem to have a sip less than you, right?"

Ji Chengche looked at Xiang Lin, suddenly pulled out the Fetal Yuan God Knife and slashed down, slashed into the dragon case in front of him, and said, "It's better to use a knife to deal with people like you." ”

The guards and eunuchs outside the house hurriedly rushed in when they heard the movement, and they couldn't help but be shocked when they saw Ji Chengche's knife splitting dragon case, and shouted one after another: "Escort, don't hurt Your Majesty!" One by one, they stood in front of Xiang Lin and built a great wall of flesh and blood in front of Ji Chengqing.

Ji Chengche sat still, holding the handle of the Fetal Yuan God Knife in his hand.

"Bang!" Xiang Lin kicked over a guard and scolded: "Who told you to come in, get out, get out!"

The guards and eunuchs left the house in a daze, but they did not forget to reopen the door.

Xiang Lin's face showed a cold color, and said, "Senior sister is now living in the Queen Mother's Qingci Palace, so I don't need to take His Royal Highness over in person." ”

Ji Chengche stood up and collected the Fetal Yuan Divine Knife and said, "Thank you!"

"I'm not afraid you'll draw your sword, let's be clear about that first. As you can see, I've been the target of public criticism, and this is the ninth assassination like the one I did in the morning. poisoning, stabbing, ambushing...... This gang of traitors will do everything. The palace and my side...... It has become the most unsafe place in the world. ”

Xiang Lin said coldly: "But I'm still alive and well." As soon as they find that they can't deal with me, they will attack the people around me, and my sister ...... It's my only weakness. ”

Ji Chengche's heart was shocked, and he finally understood why Xiang Lin would agree to take Wang Rou away, and also realized why he would let loose and seek to get drunk.

Thinking of this, his perception of Xiang Lin couldn't help but improve a lot, at least this guy projected a little bit of humanity on Wang Rou after all.

Xiang Lin smiled to himself and said: "You were born in the Han royal family, so you naturally understand the so-called ruthlessness of the Heavenly Family. With this country, he is destined to not escape responsibility, and the person on the dragon chair is destined to be lonely for a lifetime. ”

Ji Chengche shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then the emperor is too boring." ”

Xiang Lin said: "Don't talk about cool words." I promised you to take my sister, but I didn't give up on her......"

His eyes flashed with a fiery and cold light, and he said slowly, "Now that she has lost her memory, maybe we can go back to square one." What if I let you do it first?"

Ji Cheng said: "Is this your wishful thinking?"

Xiang Lin said: "No matter what you think, this is the last chance I give you." Protect her, or I'll swear I'll make your life worse than dead!"

"Don't you think it's too boring to keep threatening me like this?"

Ji Chengche pushed the door out, standing in the courtyard outside the house, but he was stunned, not knowing which direction Qingci Palace should go.

A little eunuch stepped forward very cleverly, kowtowed, and said, "The villain knocks on His Highness Cheng Che." ”

Ji Chengche saw that it was Zhao An's adopted son Zhao Yu, who was more or less an acquaintance.

He was surprised and asked, "When will you return to the palace?"

Zhao Yu replied respectfully: "After my father-in-law passed away, His Majesty transferred me to the palace to serve by his side. Speaking of Zhao An, the little eunuch's eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly.

Ji Chengqing's heart was gloomy, Zhao An was also kind to him, and finally died heroically outside the Forbidden City.

He patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "When I pick up Wang Rou, we will go to the grave of Zhao Gonggong to worship together." ”

Zhao Yu was grateful, after all, no matter how loyal Zhao An was, he was still just a eunuch in the eyes of the world. is as affectionate and righteous as Ji Chengqing, and there are really not many people who treat eunuchs as people.

He wiped the corners of his eyes and responded: "My father-in-law's grave is buried in the mausoleum of Emperor Zhangwu, accompanying the emperor." ”

Ji made a clear "oh" sound, and an indescribable feeling surged in her heart.

He still can't believe that he is Xiang Yi's illegitimate son, and his most beloved mother will actually carry his father behind his back...... Ji Tianquan had a personal affair with Xiang Yi and secretly married him.

Ji Cheng's mind couldn't help but think of the scene of meeting Xiang Yi three times, from the duel in the hunting ground to the confrontation in Zhangwu Palace, until the farewell of life and death in the night battle of Lingshan, it suddenly seemed like an unreal dream.

People in the world say that life is like a dream, but this dream of oneself is too unbelievable.

He thought about it, and walked towards Qingci Palace under the guidance of Zhao Yu, and most of the guards and eunuchs he met on the way knew Ji Chengqing, and they all retreated to the side and saluted respectfully.

In the first battle of the Forbidden City, Ji Chengche led Geng Tian and Shi Yifu to lead three hundred iron cavalry to fight to the death, saving thousands of hostages, and then fought the martial king Qi Long to kill the culprit, and the famous name has already spread throughout the holy capital.

Even if everyone knew that he was the prince of the Han Dynasty, it would not hinder the admiration and admiration of the military and civilian officials of the Great Chu Dynasty and the opposition, not to mention that Ji Chengche was also the regent of the prison country who was enshrined by the former emperor Xiang Yi and the imperial pen.

After a while, the two of them came to Qingci Palace, and Concubine Yu was already waiting in the palace when she heard the message.

Ji Chengche saw Concubine Yu, and saw that although she looked quite tired but in good spirits, she felt a little at ease, and asked Wang Rou and Xiang Yu.

Concubine Yu said: "My Majesty and I just came back from the Zhangwu Emperor's Mausoleum the day before yesterday, and we will go again soon, so I left Yu'er there so as not to go back and forth." Again...... The spirit of the former emperor must be accompanied by someone. Wang Rou was still taking a nap, so I didn't wake her up to see you. ”

She said and remembered something, and said, "By the way, the ghost master is also in the palace, and I want to talk to you later." ”

"Good. Ji Chengche agreed, although he didn't know what the ghost master was looking for, he thought it should be related to Wang Rou.

Concubine Yu looked at Ji Chengqing, and suddenly sighed and said, "Go and worship Your Majesty once." Although he refused to say it when he was alive, I know that he still remembers you as a son very much. ”

Ji Chengche looked at Concubine Yu'er's expectant eyes, and hesitated slightly.

Concubine Yu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Have you talked to Your Majesty?"

Ji Chengche collected his mood and replied, "I want to take Wang Rou away." ”

Concubine Yu said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I told him about you and Your Majesty." ”

Ji Chengche understood: "I know that Aunt Yu has good intentions, for fear that we will fight again." ”

Concubine Yu smiled bitterly: "I know I'm naïve, even if it's a sibling, what can I do, I will live and die the same way, and I will be a brother." But I still hope that you and Lin'er can get along well. I believe that this is also the wish of His Majesty. ”

Ji Chengche said: "Don't worry, Aunt Yu, I won't compete with Xiang Lin for the throne." ”

Concubine Yu was relieved: "That's good." I understand that this is not easy for you, although Lin'er has tried to kill you repeatedly, but he ...... Actually, it's hard. Aunt Yu wants to ask you to help him a lot, even if it's a luxury. In any case, His Majesty does not want the country he has built with his own hands to be shattered and disintegrated after a hundred years. ”

Ji Chengche faintly felt that Concubine Yu seemed to be a little strange today, perhaps due to her uncertainty after great compassion.

He comforted: "Aunt Yu, Xiang Lin and I will take care of our own affairs." You don't have to worry about it, you can rest your body. ”

Concubine Yu smiled as beautiful as a ceiling, and said: "It's time for me to rest, I've been too tired to walk all these years......"

As she spoke, Ji Chengche was horrified to find that a wisp of bright blood overflowed from the corner of her lips, sliding down to her white and flawless skin, shining like a morning flower.
