I am fish

The rain at the end of summer has been pattering for three days, and the carriages and pedestrians coming and going in Runing City are rushing to their destination on the muddy road.Under the gray zenith, people wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats all lowered their heads, wanting to finish their errands and go home early to avoid the unlucky rain.

Wei Lun and Changsun Yao stood side by side in the Taiji Hall where countless dresses and jade crowns were displayed, holding a code of law in their hands and explaining to Li Yanyi one by one the etiquette system of the enthronement ceremony. Li Yanyi sat on the throne and listened patiently as much as possible. All enthronement ceremonies are very cumbersome and complicated. She wanted to write down all the details, but her mind kept wandering.

Wei Lun saw that she was restless, and put Dian Ce together: "Your Majesty, what worries do you have?"

Li Yanyi smiled awkwardly and didn't answer him.

Changsun Yao sneaked a glance at Li Yanyi, he knew that Li Yanyi had been bothered by A Xin's matter recently besides cleaning up the remnants of the party and ascending the throne.

Ah Xin has been in poor health since the Mengliang war, and the waist injury even affected her daily life.Li Yanyi sent countless imperial doctors to the Xie Mansion to help her heal her injuries, but Ah Xin drove all the imperial doctors back and refused to accept her favor.Now that enthronement is imminent, Xie Fuchen's family must be wiped out. Ah Xin is Xie Fuchen's legitimate daughter, so she must be killed.

You have to kill her, if she and Li Yanyi have nothing to do with each other.

Wei Lun and Changsun Yao had already urged Li Yanyi countless times in the open and in the dark. Xie Fuchen wanted to kill the Xie family, but even more so, he must not leave any possibility of resurgence.Once they stay, they leave behind a blade of vengeance that may stab at any time.

But Li Yanyi has not issued any order to kill Xie's family until now, and even sent batches of medicinal materials and imperial doctors to Xie's family. Everyone understands what she thinks in her heart and what she cares about, so no one cares much about it. the mouth.

Now that the Grand Ceremony is just around the corner, Li Yanyi's worries are even more worrying about Wei Lun's Elder Sun Yao.If similar things were placed on other emperors, the courtiers would be able to persuade them by saying "the beauty is a disaster, and the country should be the most important thing".But in the face of the first female emperor who is about to ascend to the top, the two of them are a little short of words, without any blueprints to learn from, and it is easy to say the wrong thing if they are not careful.Even if they were as eloquent as a tongue, these two old ministers were speechless at this time.

"Go on." Li Yanyi rubbed her temples, opened her eyes that hadn't closed all night, trying to force herself to cheer up.

Repeated the enthronement speech without missing a single word, went to the top of Wangjun Mountain to see the preparations for the ancestral temple, followed the young mansion to walk the route to be taken tomorrow, and then returned to Ziwei Palace to finish the enthronement speech, It's not complete until you're dizzy and tired.

"Your Majesty, the hot pattern on the cuffs of Dagon's uniform has been fixed, do you want to try again?" the young supervisor of the Shaofu Supervisor reported while leaning in front of the carriage.

Li Yanyi gave a weary "hmm" and said neither good nor bad.The young supervisor didn't hear the answer and didn't know whether he should move or not, so he glanced at his superior, Sun Yao, guilty.Chang Sun Yao frowned and shook his head, the young prisoner coughed and stepped aside.

"Let's go." Li Yanyi said.

"Let's drive!" The servant of the Huangmen shouted loudly, and Li Yanyi's Luan drove back to the palace.

Just as she was coming down from Wangjun Mountain, there was a little Huangmen at the end of the line who walked more and more slowly, and fell to the end of the line. When he was sure that no one was paying attention to him, he strode into the woods and disappeared immediately .

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain after climbing from the wild road, he had already changed into a set of civilian clothes, and entered Xie's mansion in a low-key manner.

"So these days Li Yanyi is really concentrating on preparing for tomorrow's grand ceremony." Xie Fuchen took a sip of tea.

"Yes, Xie Sima." Xiao Huangmen said, "Then Li Yanyi was sullen because the preparations were too complicated, and almost lost his temper."

Li Yanyi, Wei Lun and others are concentrating on preparations, it seems that the grand ceremony will be held tomorrow must be true.

It's a pity that you can't wait until tomorrow's sunrise.

Xiao Huangmen took the silver and retreated out. As soon as he walked to the yard excitedly, a black shadow floated out at unknown time and pierced his left chest cavity.

After the black shadow drew the knife, Xiao Huangmen ran two steps, and didn't even realize that he had been stabbed.When he realized that the tingling pain just now was becoming more and more unbearable, he looked down, only to find that blood was pouring profusely, and he was frightened to death.

Xie Fuchen draped the black coir raincoat over his body, and tied the raincloth wrapped in palm skin tightly under his chin.With long hair coiled into a wide hat, and a sword at his waist, he stepped quickly into the rainy night.Behind him followed more than a dozen men in black, all of whom were dressed the same as him, and thousands more disappeared into the night of Runing City as if dripping into the sea.The master who killed Xiaohuangmen flashed across the treetop, and the treetop swayed imperceptibly, less than the movement of a magpie landing on it.

This person is the ranger Hang Lie who once poisoned Lin Quan to death and made the Huaichen Mansion terrified.Ever since Lan Ke'er appeared, Hang Lie had no chance of poisoning him, and he couldn't even carry out an assassination attempt. Both the Huaichen Mansion and the Wei Manor had set up tight guards, and he was strictly restrained.Xie Gong saved his life in northern Xinjiang, and he was so kind to him, but he wasted money and food and couldn't do anything.Tonight is the time for him to be proud.

Xie's A Xun is also among them.

She had always wanted to find a chance to kill Alai, but Alai actually went to northern Xinjiang, leaving her with no chance at all.Seeing the remnants of the army returning to the capital, she decided to take advantage of the exhaustion period after the battle, so she ventured to the Wei Mansion to find out the news.What surprised her was the news that "Zhen Wenjun" was dead.It's ridiculous that she died in Beijiang without letting her kill this traitor!Forget it, she is nothing more than a little girl, and Li Yanyi and Wei Tingxu are her targets.At this point, they no longer have any room to retreat. They can only take up the butcher knife and kill the rebellious officials and thieves on the side of the wild road of history!

Xie Fuchen has already sent the young and old in the Xie Mansion out of Runing, he knows that tonight's Runing will become a turning point for Da Yu, he needs to protect the safety of his family no matter what.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, which is the prelude to the decisive battle.

Xie's carriage was about to leave Runing, and Ah Xin woke up.

She found herself in the carriage.

"You're awake." The third aunt sat beside her, feeling a little overwhelmed when she saw her wake up.

"Why am I here?" Ah Xin sat up in pain with her back propped up, opened the curtain and looked out, the city gate of Runing was already close at hand.

"What do you mean?" Ah Xin turned her head and asked in a quiet voice, but the third aunt trembled in fright.Ah Xin led troops to fight all the year round, and she had an aura of calmness and prestige. Even if she stared at the third aunt, she would be scared out of her wits.

"This...it's none of my business!" Aunt San shrank into a corner.

Ah Xin had a severe headache, and almost fell when the carriage shook, so Aunt San hurriedly helped her up.

"You guys let me take hypnotics?" Ah Xin grabbed San Yi's hand and almost broke her arm.

"This is Xie Gong's order! It's not my idea! I don't know why he did this, what can I do, I can only follow his orders! Ah Xin...you hurt me!" Three Tears welled up in my aunt's eyes, and she pitifully begged Ah Xin for mercy, and Ah Xin understood immediately after thinking about it.

Letting go of Third Aunt's hand, she stood outside the carriage, and the dozen or so carriages behind her were all Xie's carriages, confirming what she thought in her heart.

Father made a big move.

The carriage arrived at the gate of the city and left the city smoothly. Ah Xin wore a bamboo hat and sat beside the driver.

She always felt a little uneasy, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

After many years of fighting in the army, Ah Xin has a sense of danger that ordinary people do not have. She looked at the dark rainy night, and the raindrops fell from her eyes one by one. To support the restless heart.

When the Xie family team filed out from the city gate and was about to leave Runing on the official road, she suddenly jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the way she came.

"Ah Xin! Where are you going, Ah Xin!" The third aunt kept staring at her for fear that she would mess around, but she really guessed it right.Third Aunt poked her head out of the carriage, her hair was drenched by the heavy rain in an instant, and she wished she could jump out of the carriage immediately and drag her back.Xie Gong specifically told her to watch Ah Xin in prison and let her go out of the city, and the hypnotics she gave were enough to sleep peacefully for a whole day.Knowing that she might wake up early, she never expected that Ah Xin would wake up so soon.If Ah Xin is lost, how should Mr. Xie scold her.

After Ah Xin ran a few steps with her back supported, the sharp pain made her unable to run wildly, so she could only grit her teeth and walk back quickly.

There is an ambush.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, hitting Ah Xin's body and face, making it harder for her to move forward.

Father wants to send everyone in the mansion away, there must be a big plan that threatens everyone's lives, if it fails, the entire Xie mansion will suffer disaster, so he will evacuate the people in the mansion before the plan is actually implemented .But the more than ten carriages of the Xie family are so eye-catching, even if they are dressed in the general caravan outfit, they will make people look more often.With the documents for leaving the city in hand, there is no barrier to entry and exit under normal circumstances, but Li Yanyi is about to ascend the throne, this is the first time since ancient times.How many people were staring at her and trying to pull her off the horse, how could she not be on guard at this juncture?The Xie family is her biggest enemy, and when she ascends the throne, she must get rid of them quickly. How could the Jinwu guards guarding the city be so lax and let more than a dozen carriages go at will?Even if my father bribed the Jinwu Guard, there should still be patrolling soldiers on the official road.

Thinking of this, Ah Xin felt distraught.

I fell into the trap, my father must have fallen into the trap!

Opening the city gate without defense, so that Father can easily lead troops to break through the gate, is exactly the plan of Li Yanyi and others!As long as Father launched an attack, he fell into Li Yanyi's trap.It would be easy to kill Father during the chaos or to chop off his head for treason!

Ah Xin walked faster and faster, wanting to move forward with the usual big strides, but her seriously injured body couldn't bear the torment at all, her feet softened suddenly, Ah Xin threw herself out, thinking that she was about to fall into the mud When he was on the ground, he suddenly fell into the arms of a person.

"Li... Li Yanyi." The person protecting her was Li Yanyi who was wearing night clothes.

Li Yanyi wore a gauze hat and a mask on his head, and six strong guards followed behind him.If he hadn't seen her eyes from a very close distance, maybe even Ah Xin would not be able to recognize her at a glance.

"Let's go." Li Yanyi turned his hands inside out, and tied Ah Xin's hands together with hemp rope.In normal times, with Ah Xin's strength, she would definitely be able to break free and fight back immediately before being bound, but now as long as she exerts a little force, the pain in her waist will pierce her fiercely like a sharp cone, and she can't exert force at all.

"Let me go!" Ah Xin raised her elbow to greet Li Yanyi's face, but Li Yanyi didn't intend to dodge at all, the elbow stopped suddenly when she was only an inch away from her face.

Li Yanyi's pink lips were stained with rain, and slowly rose, as if she had expected that she would not really do it.Ah Xin was annoyed, she scraped Li Yanyi with her elbow, and the guards behind her immediately rushed up to capture Ah Xin.

"Don't be rough on her, just send her out of Runing." Li Yanyi said while covering her reddened cheeks.

"I won't leave! Li Yanyi, our Xie family doesn't want to accept your love at all! Do you think that if you let the door open and the Xie family's carriage leaves, someone will be grateful to you? If you are still a straightforward person, let me go. The winner is up to you! If I lose at that time, I will let you handle it, and I will never break my promise!" Ah Xin's angry shout was weak and pale in the rainstorm, "You know what will happen tonight! Do you think you will kill me? Father tricked into the city and then he could be wiped out? You are so naive! How can you win the battle of life and death with just a few strategies on paper? How many Chinese troops do you have? Five thousand? Ten thousand?! You want to die in vain What! You are the one who is leaving!"

Every time Ah Xin yelled a word, she broke out in a cold sweat, but Li Yanyi came up to hold her face, and smiled:

"So you ran back to save me."

Ah Xin shook her off again.

"Do you know how many contradictions there are in your words? Do you want to help your father kill me or save me? Have you ever asked yourself what you want?" Li Yanyi pointed at A Xin's heart said, "Ah Xin, people can't be greedy, you can't have everything you want in the world, you have to choose or not. I never forced you, but things are so poor now, you have to be a Choose. Choose me, or your father."

Ah Xin knew that Li Yanyi was right, she had to admit that Li Yanyi understood her so well.

She has always been conflicted.It seems that she has long since given up her relationship with Li Yanyi and has become the backbone of the Xie family.When she jumped off the carriage and ran back, she was still trying to find excuses for herself, telling herself that she came back because she was worried about her father being tricked, but the most innermost words couldn't help shouting out when she met Li Yanyi.

She was worried about Father and Li Yanyi.

She can be an enemy to Li Yanyi, even for the rest of her life, as long as Li Yanyi is still alive.

As long as this person still exists in this world, she will be able to do anything firmly, and Li Yanyi's tolerance has always been in her eyes. She let her beat and scold her, and she never said a word to her. Leave Xie's house" and so on.Li Yanyi is the person who understands her best in this world, but why does the person who understands her best and cares about her most take this path that runs counter to her?

Seeing Ah Xin lowering her head gradually, Li Yanyi's heart was about to break when she saw her tears mixed with the rain.

"Ah Xin... I don't want to force you, but this is the reality. You leave here first, and I will bring you back after everything is over. With me, no one can touch a hair of yours. When the time comes I will make you queen, we..."

The words "make you queen" made Ah Xin's expression freeze. She didn't speak, and the two of them fell silent in the rain for half a stick of incense.

"Li Yanyi." When she spoke again, Ah Xin's tone had calmed down, and she said, "I have never forgotten the years when you and I met in the Begonia bushes. to hurt you, but..."

Ah Xin raised her eyes and stared at Li Yanyi, Li Yanyi found that her soft eyes seemed to return to their most carefree time ten years ago.At that time, Ah Xin was like this, staring at her with adoring and hot eyes, but now besides the admiration and hot eyes, there is also a layer of melancholy that cannot be erased.

"But, you can't die and I can't let you die. I won't leave, as long as you don't leave Runing, I won't leave either."

Li Yanyi found her blushing face that was drooping down and wanted to hide, looked up at the sky and laughed:

"I didn't expect that you and I have been inseparable for many years, but it will be solved at this time! I have you and I have the world, and God treats me well!" Li Yanyi hugged her in his arms and pointed at the door of the east gate of Runing. On the contrary, on the wall of the heavy rain, there is a faint fire slowly rising.

Everlasting lights.

Ah Xin is most familiar with this ever-burning lamp. No matter how heavy the rain is, it cannot penetrate the thick tarpaulin covering the fire core. This kind of lamp is the most likely signal for a sneak attack in heavy rain.

"That was the signal for your father to attack Runing." Li Yanyi said, "His 1 troops are secretly stationed around Runing, and the east gate is the only way for the army to enter. Xie Fuchen will open the city after killing the guards of the east gate. Let the army enter the city at all times, my central army indeed has less than [-] people, Xie Fuchen is the sure winner in this battle."

A quarter of an hour ago.

The guards under the east gate were killed before they even had time to shout.The heavy rain covered the sound of them falling to the ground, while more than 30 Jinwu guards on the city wall who were in charge of patrolling were patrolling slowly with guns in their hands.The flames were difficult to burn in the heavy rain, and their vision was easily blocked. They could only observe the movements inside and outside the city with their naked eyes.

Just before the rotation was about to last, there seemed to be some movement outside the city wall.

"Hey! Come and see!" The young Jinwu Guard who noticed the movement immediately called the people around him over. When they looked down, there was indeed a group of black shadows moving back and forth under the city under the pattering rain.

"There is an enemy situation!" One of the young Jinwu guards was about to ring the alarm, but was pulled back by the older Zhonghou.

"You are crazy, can this alarm bell be rung at will? What's more, the empress will ascend the throne tomorrow, if you don't see the truth and ring the bell at will to disturb the central, ten of your heads are not enough to chop off!"

"But... what if there is really an enemy?"

"There is no battle report from the villages and towns around Runing. How could there be a sudden situation here for no reason? It's probably because the animals with no brains came to look for food again." Zhong Hou found a piece of oilcloth holding a piece of wood and lit it. Going down, the torch illuminated the city before it went out, and it turned out that a group of wild foxes were making trouble in the city again.

"Let me tell you, these beasts want to sneak in every summer..." Zhonghou's words were cut off by a sharp knife.

A group of men in black rushed to the wall of the east gate and fought with the Jinwu guards guarding here.These men in black came quietly and with high martial arts skills, and soon gained the upper hand.They pre-emptively killed Zhonghou first, and the other young soldiers panicked and were quickly beheaded by more than half.

The young Jinwu Guard who was the first to notice the movement in the city was cut twice in the chest, desperately trying to ring the bell, but was dragged back every time he broke out of the siege and touched the bell vertebrae.

Countless swords, guns and axes fought and slashed, blood mixed with rainwater slowly flowed down the stone steps on the city wall, and the sound of killing was covered by the heavy rain, making it difficult to recognize.

Another team of 120 Jinwu Guards who were patrolling the city passed by the east city, and seemed to hear something moving. They struggled to look and listen to the city wall. The pitch-black area seemed to hear and see something, and it seemed to be an illusion created by heavy rain. .

"Go and have a look." The captain of the guard gave an order, and the inspection team was about to go to the east gate, when suddenly a ball of fire rose from the city wall.

They were all attracted by the swaying and rising flames in the heavy rain, only to hear the chief guard yell "No", followed by thunderous hooves of horses in the depths of the darkness, rushing towards them in an instant.They were like small fishing boats in the huge waves, they were washed to pieces without even making a sound.

Xie Fuchen stood on the blood-washed east gate wall, watching the army that had been ambushing for a long time and rushed into the city of Runing at one breath, covering all the streets in the blink of an eye, just like his hand, firmly He grabbed Runing's throat and Li Yanyi's throat.

If Xie Fuchen's army is destroyed, the flimsy central army that has just been established in Runing City will be like a baby with no strength to restrain a chicken in front of them, retreating steadily.

The soldiers of the Runing Central Army have no idea where this strange army came from. The army wearing black armor is like an army composed of ghosts from the underworld. They suddenly appeared on a rainy night with black lights and black fires and killed them wantonly. .Da Yu's heart fell into an unprecedented panic.

The Chinese army and the garrison in Linxian quickly rushed to the east gate to support the east gate and fill in the gap.They had just arrived at the east gate and were harassed at the other gates.

"It's the loess rebels!" The Jinwu guards guarding the main gate had a headache, and these locusts that could not be scattered and killed came again, wandering around the gates of the city in chaos.Standing on a high place, Xie Fuchen noticed that the army in Runing City was exhausted and didn't seem to be on guard, so he waved his army into the Forbidden Garden in his heart!

An army of one hundred thousand broke open the gate of the Forbidden Garden, and the sound of killing immediately broke the century-old tranquility of the Forbidden Garden.

The maids and servants in the palace were scared out of their wits, and the tiger army in the garden guarded the entrance of the forbidden garden and resisted stubbornly. In the end, they were defeated without delaying the time of two incense sticks.

Xie Fuchen finally entered the Forbidden Garden.

The main hall of the Tai Chi Hall was right in front of him, and the hall was brightly lit. He had already received a secret report that Li Yanyi had been preparing for the grand ceremony in the hall.Now that he has not yet sat on the throne, his head will fall to the ground, hehehe... Misfortune is blessed, blessings are relied upon, misfortunes are subdued, good and bad are gathered together, good and bad are in the same realm.

"Thank you old thief, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

In the torrential rain, a young man's vigorous voice pierced through the wind and rain and reached his ears. This person stood at the highest point of the hall of ascension and shouted at Xie Fuchen. It was Wei Jing'an, the second son of the Wei family.

"Old thief, you actually colluded with the rebellious party and started a rebellion. Do you know what serious crime it is?!" Wei Jing pointed his gun at Xie Fuchen and yelled loudly, "Listen up, sons of the city! , who was supposed to assist the new king to help the country, but after the emperor bintian, he raised troops against each other and tried to replace him! He is really a wolf-hearted generation, and the crime is unbearable! Everyone in the country should be killed! Lose the lives of parents, wives, children, and the whole family! The young master advises you to put down your weapons and surrender immediately, and the court can let the past go! It is the right way to kill the enemy in the future and make military achievements!"

Xie Fuchen thought it was funny: "How many of you are still speaking outrageous words? You know who is against the party and who wants to rebel!" Xie Fuchen gave an order, and the army went straight to the Taiji Hall, "Find out the demon girl and cut him into pieces!" !"

The army quickly applied pressure, and the leading general Guo Meng led his troops forward.Wei Jing'an led an army of less than 1 people, Xie Fuchen calculated that he would be able to take the Forbidden Garden within half an hour.

That's how things went in the beginning.

The main hall of the Taiji Hall usually looks very spacious, but now that the armies of both sides are crowded together to fight, it looks cramped and narrow, and it is difficult to see the situation clearly.He only felt that his army was engulfing the opponent bit by bit.

Soon Wei Jing'an's soldiers were not seen, they should have killed the enemy completely, but why the Tai Chi Hall still stood unharmed in the rainy night, as if mocking Xie Fuchen's arrogance and overreaching.

The leading general Guo Meng rode his horse out of the melee and ran towards Xie Fuchen.Xie Fuchen waited for him to open his mouth to tell about the situation of the battle, but he cut off Xie Fuchen's head with the big knife in his hand.

If Xie Fuchen hadn't been a captain of Qingqi in his early years and had the experience of fighting in battles, if he jumped back instinctively to avoid the fatal blow, his head would have fallen to the ground at this moment.

A deep bloody gash was cut on his chest, Xie Fuchen couldn't stand upright holding the wound.He watched Guo Meng's horse hover for an instant, and the man on the horse tore off the human skin mask and laughed wildly at him.

This is not Guo Meng, it is clearly Zhen Wenjun, it is Alai!

"Thank you old thief!" Zhen Wenjun pointed at Xie Fuchen, "Today I will take your dog's head to comfort my mother's spirit in heaven!"

The situation behind Xie Fuchen also changed strangely.

The [-] troops he led began to fight each other.

The enemy has mixed into the army!

For a while, it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and the situation of the battle was reversed.
