General Raiders

Suspicion.

Yun Xi stared at Zhang Yicheng, as if she still wanted to retrieve the old days from that face, she was dazed for a while, and said softly: "Can you tell me why you faked your death back then and left without saying goodbye?"

Zhang Yicheng said calmly: "I taught you martial arts only for the sake of the eldest princess, and at that time I thought that following you would lead me to the top. But then the eldest princess passed away, and you also joined the army and left the imperial city, farther and farther away from what I thought. Far. A good bird chooses a tree to live in. I do this because I don’t want you and me to be too embarrassed. You still regard me as a master, and I can follow the good master, so what’s wrong?"

A trace of sadness flashed in Yunxi's eyes, Zhang Yicheng saw it, and smiled as always: "I used to treat you very strictly, but you have been stubborn since you were young, and you never feel sad when you are punished, why is it that you have become a famous general now? Is it not as strong as when I was a child?"

Yun Xi recalled the hands that taught her to hold a sword when she was young, and couldn't help sobbing: "I just feel that the master-student relationship is just a dream."

Zhang Yicheng said: "It's best if you can think like this. Since I died once, I have broken the bond of master and apprentice with you. I have never told you that Zhang Yicheng is a pseudonym. My name is Li Cheng. Please remember that too. Live with this name. Even if we can meet again in this life, it is just a passerby."

Yun Xi knew that he was going to break with her completely, and said sadly: "I understand. It's just the professor's kindness, and it's hard to repay him."

Zhang Yicheng, that is, Li Cheng, glanced at him indifferently, and said: "You have achieved today because of your determination, and it has nothing to do with me. I was blind back then and underestimated you, and today I am a prisoner. There is no possibility of turning back. Now that you have accepted an apprentice, you should be careful in the future so that you can do it yourself. This is the last advice I can give you."

Yun Xi gritted her teeth, knelt down and bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Master."

Mu Chengze was silent all the time, but now he helped Yunxi up himself, Li Cheng turned his head away and stopped talking.

Qiu Yi put Li Cheng in prison, and went to the Third Prince's Mansion together with King Jing and Yun Xi.Seeing that Li Cheng hadn't returned, the third prince knew in his heart that the general situation was over. Perhaps he had expected this day when he ordered Li Cheng to wash the prince's mansion with blood. Mu Chengluo asked someone to prepare tea in the main hall, and he wanted to straighten his clothes. He calmly drank tea and waited, but his hands were shaking non-stop.

"Third Highness, please follow me."

In a daze, Qiu Yi came with a dazzling sword, which Mu Chengluo had seen the emperor wear with his own eyes, and it was an out-and-out sword of the emperor.

"Father even gave it to you. It seems that he has already guessed that it is me. For the convenience of you, come and catch me."

Tianzi sword, Tianzi sword, seeing the sword is like seeing the emperor.

Mu Chengluo felt extremely bitter in his heart, after all, his success fell short. The third prince sighed in his heart, looking at all the hard work around him, he was afraid that he would never come back from now on.

Most of the killers raised by the third prince are now under the control of Dali Temple. Qiu Yi, with the emperor's sword in his hand, directly ordered people to seal the residence of the third prince to further collect evidence. According to what Li Cheng said, the study of the third prince is the most important thing .Qiu Yi searched out a secret compartment in the study room, which contained letters between the third prince and his confidants, one of which revealed Li Cheng's true identity.King Jing, Qiu Yi and even Yun Xi thought he was a wandering swordsman, but Li Cheng had actually been a secret guard of the Nanzhao court.Although Nanzhao was destroyed, Li Cheng approached the third prince with ulterior motives. What was his purpose? Could it be that, as he said, he felt that Yunxi's future was uncertain at that time, so he chose to vote for another good lord?

It's hard to tell whether this letter is true or not, but a flame lit up in Yun Xi's heart. Li Cheng had mentioned lips to him before, which was also used by the secret guards of the Nanzhao court. Li Cheng had stayed in the Nanzhao court. Most likely true.

Qiu Yi didn't dare to delay, and submitted the confessions of the killers and the found letters to Mu Ziyue. Mu Ziyue was heartbroken at what the third prince had done, but never expected that there was a shadow of Nanzhao in it .The more Muzi thought about it, he was terrified, and summoned the third prince overnight.

"How is the father recently?"

The third prince knelt on the dazzling gold bricks of the Xuande Hall, looked up at Mu Ziyue who was sitting on the dragon chair, perhaps he had imagined it countless times on the way here, when the event came to an end, the fear was gone, and his eyes were full of admiration Still, it made Mu Ziyue feel more pain in his heart.

If it is said that the sixth prince, who does not know how to praise, has the intention of killing the prince, Mu Zi will be more and more convinced, but the third prince, who is well-versed in civil and military affairs, has been well-mannered since he was a child, and many officials in the Manchu Dynasty have praised him. So cruel to the prince?

It's not that Mu Ziyue has never experienced a battle for the throne, he just doesn't believe that such a naked killing will really happen to the gentle and polite Third Prince.

When he was suspicious of the third prince and the fourth prince, he had thought to himself that he must not be the third prince, but he also knew that there are many officials in the court who support the third prince openly and secretly. The prince's means and the city's government are far from the level of daring to wash the prince's mansion with blood.

The third prince whom he has always valued is very likely to live up to his hopes, the more Mu Zi doesn't want to think about it, but he has to think that the Tianzi Sword was indeed given to Qiu Yi for the sake of the third prince in a fit of anger.Mu Ziyue hoped that the real culprit that Qiu Yi found out in the end was not the third prince.

He even had the idea of ​​Yi Chu for the sake of the third prince.But it was the third prince who cold-bloodedly ordered the Prince's Mansion to be slaughtered.

Mu Ziyue stared at the third prince intently, as if he wanted to see if the third prince was a fake.

Mu Chengluo kowtowed, and said in a warm voice: "The crown prince has just passed away, and the sons and ministers are not filial. Father, please mourn."

There were tears in Mu Ziyue's eyes for a moment, and he sighed softly, "Cheng Luo, tell me why you want to kill the prince?"

Mu Chengluo didn't answer him directly. He knelt down and thought for a while, and said, "Father, do you still remember that when Empress Xiaoyi was still there, there was a year when His Highness the Crown Prince was born, and the mother and concubine had a low position at that time. I went to congratulate, but was locked in the side hall by the palace guards by mistake."

Mu Ziyue also remembered what happened back then, and said puzzledly: "It was the palace servant who was negligent and negligent, and I didn't kill that man later, Xiaoyi also personally apologized to you and your mother and concubine. ?"

Mu Chengluo smiled and said: "It's been too long, my son was still very young at that time, and I can't remember anything else clearly, I just remember that the palace man said viciously to my son that His Royal Highness was born as a star in the sky, and my son The minister is nothing more than a puddle of mud. The minister understands the difference between the concubine and the concubine. The father and the emperor love the prince, and it is right to look at the prince. It is only better than the prince, because only in this way, the father will look at the son."

The more Muzi heard him talk about his concubine calmly, he was inexplicably sad, and said: "I am also a person who loves talents. Could it be that I have not valued you enough these years?"

Mu Chengluo said: "Even if I have tried my best to be better than him in everything, what's the use? Even if he is extremely mediocre, and even made a huge mistake, colluded with the concubine, interfered with the father's empress palace, Father will still forgive him. Even though he has been hiding in the prince's mansion all these years and achieved nothing, father still let him be the prince. The sons and ministers have been trembling all these years, no matter whether they are against him or treat him as if he does not exist, in the eyes of father , all the sons and daughters are inferior to him."

Mu Chengluo laughed at himself: "If he is still alive in this world, no matter how capable the son is, the father will not want to hand over the world to the son, because only he is the son of Empress Xiaoyi, the father's son. The only son of the emperor, right?"

55、Planning

"Cheng Luo..."

Mu Ziyue really wants to say, I may not be as good to the prince as you think, even if it is only for a short moment, I have really considered Yi Chu, but the big mistake has been made, he has never given the third prince a little bit of love Think, what's the point of giving now?

He hardened his heart: "You dare to attack your brother, do you still have brotherly love in your heart?"

"Brother?" Mu Chengluo laughed loudly, his eyes gradually filled with tears, and he has been holding back for too long, now he doesn't have to hide it, but instead has an indescribable pleasure, "If possible, I really want to invite my father The emperor asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in his eyes, did he ever regard other princes as brothers? And you, father, did you not kill your brothers back then, do you still regard Uncle Jing Wang as your brother?"

"Cheng Luo, you're presumptuous!" Mu Zi became more angry, he didn't expect the calm third prince to talk back like this.

The third prince suppressed his laughter, and said in a deep voice: "My son has worked hard for so long, I'm afraid it will be in vain to wait any longer. It doesn't matter if the father can't see the son, as long as there is no him in this world, the father will be able to see the son!" "

Mu Zi frowned: "So you colluded with Nanzhao and killed the crown prince?"

Mu Chengluo was stunned, and said: "My son ordered someone to kill the prince, but he didn't collude with Nanzhao... Is the father talking about Li Cheng? He is indeed from Nanzhao, but Nanzhao has been destroyed, Li Cheng went to my son I have excellent martial arts, and my son will use him again."

Mu Zi said sharply: "I see that you have lost your head! I ask you, is it his idea to get rid of the prince?"

If Nanzhao had ulterior motives and the third prince was deceived for a while, Mu Ziyue might try to forgive him.

Mu Chengluo shook his head and said, "Li Cheng just obeyed my son's orders. He even advised my son to calm down and stop killing the sixth prince. It's my son who didn't listen to his advice and insisted on going his own way. Father, my son never had any conflict with Nanzhao. Collusion. I know that I have committed an unforgivable mistake, and I don’t want my father to see my son once in a while, and I also think that my son is greedy for life and afraid of death.”

All the killers in the Mansion only listened to his orders. The Third Prince was always cautious, fearing that something might go wrong, so once something happened, he would be very clear about it, and there was no excuse.I knew it when I ordered the bloodbath of the Prince's Mansion. Since ancient times, the winner of the king and the loser must either survive this test and sit in the world, or become a class leader.
