The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

After the words fell, there was silence all around, without any sound of horse hooves.

Only Ben Xiao was excited to step on the spot, listening to the rustling of fallen leaves because of the blood in the air.

Pei Zhi remained silent, his face as cold as frost.

"King Jiangdu, this is bullying the king."

Pei Jing's throat was tight. Although his eldest brother was taciturn, the long silence and stiffness just after he shot the tiger was too strange.

The buzzing in Pei Zhi's ears gradually disappeared, and the blood that surged up due to the galloping horse slowly subsided.

As soon as he stepped into the dense forest, his vision began to blur.

After the first arrow was shot, the stinging pain and noise in his heart became more and more unignorable, and his vision became dim.

After the blurry halo dispelled the darkness and his vision became clear, he finally raised his eyes to look at the young man next to him. His phoenix eyes were full of anger, obviously extremely dissatisfied with King Jiangdu's wanton temptation.

"It was not an accident at all. Brother Huang had known that something might happen, so for the first time he did not think I was a burden and allowed me to accompany him on the hunt." Pei Jing pursed his lips tightly, "Brother Emperor, your current body should be in Weiyang Palace or a hot spring. Recuperate in the palace, not in Shanglin Garden. We can’t wait any longer, we should take action first——”

King Jiangdu's words were interrupted by the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

"I have met Your Majesty. Fortunately, I did not disgrace the reputation of the Tiger Army. I surrounded you with several captains and hunted a tiger."

After the high-spirited young man performed the ceremony for Pei, he stretched his head to look at the tiger corpse on the ground. The arrows on it were all used by the emperor.

In contrast, he didn't feel embarrassed.

normal.

Fulin laughed loudly, unlike ordinary courtiers who always had a state of fear when facing Pei Zhi. As the son of the current general Fu Xun, he and Pei Zhi grew up together, and at this moment, his eyes were burning towards the emperor's quiver.

"Your Majesty, I can be considered as having meritorious service today. I wonder if I will get a reward." Fulin sighed, "Father always feels that I am not living up to expectations, so I would like to get some reward to silence him."

Pei Zhi nodded slightly when he heard this, took out a white-feathered arrow from his quiver and rewarded him.

Fulin took the arrow with both hands and said expectantly: "I'm finally looking forward to the autumn hunting. Will your Majesty show up for dinner tonight?"

After counting the prey today, he will order the accompanying royal chef to skin and cut the meat of the prey, make it into food and reward it.

Pei Zhi was silent. It would be unreasonable if he didn't show up tonight, so he said softly: "Of course."

Pei Jing's expression on the side changed slightly. On the way back to Changyang Palace, Fulin joked with King Jiangdu unscrupulously: "What's wrong with Your Highness? Are you crying again just because you have nothing to gain?"

In Fulin's impression, King Jiangdu was a young man who followed His Majesty and shed tears at every turn.

After he finished speaking, he found that Pei Jing did not become angry, but drooped his head, wondering what he was thinking, and asked in surprise: "What happened to your highness today?"

The heartless General Fu patted Pei Jing on the shoulder and said suddenly: "I know, the beauty is not around, I can only endure these rough people, and naturally I will not be happy."

Pei Jing's eyelids twitched, Ah Yue always felt that he was from a humble background and was embarrassed to interact with other officials and family members, so he refused to come to Shanglinyuan this time.

He was obviously worried about his brother's health. Why was Fulin thinking so much about men and women?

Seeing that Pei Jing's face was red from suppressing his emotions and he couldn't give any other reason, General Fu smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes: "Except for the minister, all the generals I know well are married. They have wives to take care of them, so they can't drink to their heart's content tonight." , fortunately you have His Highness.”

Fulin was still complaining: "Your Highness ran so fast that he didn't even see Zhang Changyun silently showing off the boots made by his wife. He didn't care about His Majesty's reward. He just ran to catch rabbits and said nothing about making rabbit fur hats for his son. "

Ben Xiao suddenly paused, and Fulin looked at the back in front of him with some confusion.

Pei Zhi tightened his grip on the reins and said in a cold voice, "Fu Lin, you talk too much."

Hearing that the emperor was unhappy, Fulin finally shut up.

After returning to Changyang Palace, Pei ordered the tigers he shot to be made into tiger skin rugs and rewarded them to Marquis Pingyang together with several white bear skins from Changyang Palace.

As night fell, the emperor hosted a banquet for the ministers. Pei Zhi sat at the top, cut off a few pieces of roasted venison, and tasted it symbolically.

As the eldest princess, Pei Shu was seated quite close to the emperor. She saw that the man above her looked pale, and there were even beads of sweat dripping down her temples. She only looked better after drinking a few glasses of cold wine.

Seeing my eldest brother, who doesn't like drinking, drinking one cup after another, he prepared to drink it down.

She held the wine bottle with her slender fingers and slowly brought it to her mouth. She looked very dignified and dignified, but the next moment she raised her wrist slightly and all the wine slipped into her throat. Pei Shu suspected that the emperor didn't taste anything at all.

She intuitively felt that this abnormal behavior was related to her elder brother's illness.

Pei Zhi noticed Pei Shu's eyes and had no time to pay attention. After a quarter of an hour of the banquet, he stood up and left.

Only four words were left to the ministers, "You all have a great time."

The courtiers didn't think much about it. His Majesty always dislikes lively occasions, and it is common for him to leave a banquet early.

Pei Zhi returned to the dormitory of Changyang Palace and dismissed all the palace residents, leaving only one trusted guard.

He sat on the edge of the couch, feeling a mixture of hot and cold, as well as a slight hint of drunkenness.

A figure passed by outside the glass window, and the next moment there was blood splattered on the window.

The man lying on the couch heard the faint sound of swords outside and closed his eyes as usual. The soft gauze covered his face, like a woman's hand slowly caressing him.

He held the pajamas much more gently than usual. Yu Tingwan's close-fitting dress was almost torn, so he had to use less.

Although Pei Zhi didn't care what Marquis Pingyang thought, he couldn't do anything like asking him to ask for Wanwan's underwear.

Early the next morning, as soon as he stepped out of the dormitory, he saw the guard in armor reporting that two assassins had died last night.

"Only two?" Pei Zhi said calmly: "King Linzi can't even afford to raise dead soldiers."

For seven days in a row, the autumn hunt went on as usual. Pei Su became increasingly panicked. The people who tried to test him never came back, but Brother Pian didn't react at all. He didn't even hear that the assassin was going to be arrested.

The letter sent to Linzi clearly stated that the emperor was ill. Pei Su thought of the tiger, his eyelids twitched, and he felt that he had been deceived.

Didn't the Cui family say that His Majesty was too grieved and had no thoughts in his words and deeds? In the past few days, the emperor had not left the palace, but stood on the high platform and watched the soldiers drill.

His imperial brother also went to Kunming Pool and listened to the military reports from the generals who were good at water warfare. He was clearly no different from the previous eldest brother who only focused on military and political matters.

On the ninth day of the autumn hunt, some court officials finally realized that something was wrong. They could no longer contact their family members who stayed in Chang'an.

Fulin smiled and patted the man on the shoulder: "Why are you panicking? Do you know how big Shangli Garden is? It's far away from Chang'an. Maybe the messenger got lost. There are many wild animals in the garden, so it's possible that he was eaten."

Three days later, it happened to be the 19th day of the seventh month, which happened to be the day when Pei Xu was granted the title of King of Wei.

It happened that all the officials were in Shanglin Garden, and the emperor was having a banquet with all the ministers. When the moon reached the zenith, there was no one on the throne.

Most of the courtiers were drunk, and the pretense of harmony disappeared. As they drank and drank, different factions were clearly distinguished.

If the disciples headed by the Cui family were still awake, they would see that officials such as Chen Du and Yuan Qi, who were both from noble families, did not come forward to exchange a few words with concern for their in-law relationship as before.

The Chen family of Yingchuan had always been good at staying out of things. When they saw that the Gao family wanted to talk to them, both their children who were officials in the court and their female relatives all stayed away.

Chen Du glanced at the west side and realized that there was someone missing among the generals. Taking advantage of the calm atmosphere, he stuffed a few more pieces of meat into his mouth.

Before it was chewed, the sound of armor hitting each other while running could be heard not far away, ranging from light to heavy.

In the night, the white blade was reflected blood red by the light of the bonfire, and the cold light clung to the Mingmen on the side of the neck. The symbols on the armor and the handle all belonged to the Tiger Army.

In the suffocating silence, the head of the Cui family spoke first. Back then, he risked being infamous for thousands of years and staked the fate of the entire family on Pei Xu. Although his eyesight is dim now, he still has some courage left.

"We are all courtiers, Fulin, how is this any different from treason?" The old man's voice was slow and low, "You want me to die, and I have no complaints, but Your Majesty has not issued an order, how can General Fu——"

"Shut your mouth and keep something to say to the late king." Fu Lin was full of gangster spirit. He stepped on the table and looked down at the kidnapped people, "Cui family, Lu family, Gao family, Du family and Linzi family. The king is planning a treason, but you still dare to quibble?"

Pei Su was pinned down by Huben's army. When he heard this, he said angrily: "How dare you accuse your clan members and courtiers of treason without any evidence?"

"Three days ago, Lieutenant Zhenyi searched your fief for over-issued seals." Pei Jing finally stood up, with a gloomy look on his face. "Those clansmen who have contacted you are already on their way to Beijing. King Linzi , come with me."

"You and I are both princes, what qualifications do you have to judge me?" Pei Su struggled: "Where is the emperor brother? I want to see the emperor brother!"

Pei Jing thought of the assassin outside his eldest brother's chamber, and said to the man who was holding Pei Su down: "How dare you bring up your brother? Take him to the imperial prison first, and wait for me to go back and interrogate him with the Tingwei."
