Huafa Luoyang

Xiao Cong was stunned for a while, but still answered truthfully: "I heard a little bit."

That's right, although the existence of Tianmen is unspeakable and only the successor can know about it, but these princes are always in the whirlpool, who doesn't care about it.

Even if she really doesn't want the throne, she is not willing to be determined by others casually.

"He has been with me for many years." After a moment of silence, Xiao Cong said suddenly.

Perhaps it was a bit special at this juncture, or because of his personality, he didn't care about the so-called superiority and inferiority, and he spoke very casually.

He raised his head and gave Jiang Tong a panicked look.Seeing his appearance, Jiang Tong suddenly reached out and patted his shoulder.

This action was impolite, and when he realized it, he immediately wanted to stop, but Xiao Cong grabbed his wrist.

Jiang Tong glanced at him in surprise, only to hear him repeat in a deep voice: "Brother Tong, he has been with me for many years."

Perhaps it was because of this address that he had not seen for many years that the indifferent smile on Jiang Tong's face finally disappeared.

He stared at Xiao Cong's side face, sighed, and held his hand behind his back: "Even if the prince is dead, the ambition he provoked is still there, and there is no one to wait for the fire to start a prairie fire. Your Highness must hurry up." cheer up."

Xiao Cong nodded, remained silent for a while, then stood up suddenly, worried: "I've been assassinated here, what about my fourth brother?"

Xun Luo didn't speak, this was also what he was worried about, if Yan Wang Xiao Jue was also assassinated, then the crown prince would really be the mastermind behind the scenes and couldn't get away.

I'm afraid Xiao Jue's mind is also unclear on the other side.

He met Xiao Cong's eyes, and in order to reassure him, he interrupted the conversation: "Your Highness, don't worry, His Highness King Yan has his own destiny. In fact, it will happen sooner or later, as time goes by, the southern border will definitely be bad." , now it’s just taking advantage of the terrain.”

"It's not on my side." Xiao Cong quickly calmed down, "Fang Qin seems to know this mountain very well, maybe there are people from the Qilian faction around him."

Xun Luo suddenly remembered the bright red in Tianmen, Qi He, the biggest scourge of the Qi Lian faction, had died under Mei Ji's hands.

But he didn't say anything, just said: "Your Highness, don't worry, my Highness has already taken care of it for His Highness. Qi Yun, the head of the Qilian Sect, will arrive here in a few days. I thought, he shouldn't tolerate me The Qilian Mountains became a den of thieves."

Xiao Cong's eyes lit up, and he nodded.

After this soul-stirring night, at noon the next day, the reinforcements brought by Jiang Tong arrived, but they were not Da Zhou's regular army, but only private soldiers that Jiang Tong could support under his title, so the number was limited.

Only then did Xiao Cong know that Jiang Tong had invited soldiers from King Qi, who was temporarily acting as the state government, but King Qi didn't think highly of him, so he was now his own private soldier.

"Master Hou, I'm afraid it will be troublesome when you come back to Beijing." Xiao Cong frowned.

"Don't you call me Brother Tong?" Jiang Tong smiled, seeing Xiao Cong's brows curled up in embarrassment, he shook his head, "So this battle cannot be defeated, and I have to rely on His Highness to protect me after returning to Beijing."

Xiao Cong smiled: "Of course, if something happens, I will take care of it for Brother Tong."

After a pause, he asked again: "How is the father? What about my seventh brother? He doesn't have much contact with state affairs on weekdays. Is Beijing still safe?"

Jiang Tong replied calmly: "The Holy Majesty's health has not been in a day or two. How could it be safe and sound? Don't worry about it. His Royal Highness Qi Wang, in fact, he has the ability, not to mention Uncle Guo From the side to assist. It's just that he has been unhappy when he heard about His Highness the King of Shu."

"That's right." Xiao Cong sighed, "Seventh Brother has been clinging to Third Brother since he was a child, and now that Third Brother...Third Brother is gone, he must be very sad."

Jiang Tong smiled consolingly: "Your Highness, don't be too sad, sorry."

Another day later, Xiao Cong received a secret letter from Xiao Jue, King of Yan, saying that he was assassinated, and that it was done by people around him, and he secretly observed and found many people with different intentions in the team.Fortunately, there was no danger, so Xiao Cong was reminded to take precautions and protect himself.

In fact, Xiao Cong also sent the letter, presumably the sender missed it on the way, or when Xiao Jue sent the letter, his message had not yet reached southern Xinjiang.

This time, everyone didn't talk about it, but they were really relieved. It seemed that Tianmen secretly wanted to form an alliance everywhere, but they couldn't get the support of other princes after all.

And only Xun Luo knows that no one will be attached to Tianmen now.

So far, there are no doubts about Xiao Jue and Xiao Cong.

Ten days later, at the beginning of October, Qi Yun arrived at the foot of Qilian Mountain.

He looked clearly preoccupied, but when he saw Xun Luo, he still showed a very innocent smile, and shouted: "Brother Xun!"

Xun Luo led him to meet Xiao Cong, and then placed him in the tent next to him.

When there was no one around, he said: "When I received the letter, I was a little surprised to know that you would come to help me."

Qi Yun smiled, his voice obviously much calmer than before: "After all, Qilian Mountain is where I grew up, and I can't just sit and watch it become a den of thieves."

Xun Luo patted him on the shoulder: "I knew you were coming, what did your master say?"

"He meant the same thing as me," Qi Yun smiled, "Before we parted, he taught me two more tricks, and he also asked me to give him a sentence after seeing Big Brother Xun."

"What?" Xun Luo asked.

Qi Yun replied: "He said don't forget to temper your long sword, and what's more, he is waiting for you in the capital, so you must go back alive."

"Really?" Xun Luo smiled, and patted him on the shoulder again, "It's good to rest, and I will go to King Wei at night to discuss how to attack, before Fang Qin knows you are coming."

As he spoke, he was about to leave the tent, but Qi Yun yelled, "Brother Xun!"

"Huh?" Xun Luo turned around and looked at him, only to see some embarrassment on his face, so he was a little surprised, "What's wrong?"

"No." Qi Yun smiled, and the forbearing expression just now seemed to be an illusion, "It's been a long time since I saw you, so I'll call you more."

He heyed twice, and said again: "Master told you to take good care of me, but in fact, my skills have improved a lot now."

Xun Luo smiled and nodded.

,

The locust trees in the palace of the Prince of Shu are already falling leaves, and they will swell when the wind blows. It is hard to leave a place for people to worry about in the thick courtyard walls.

The sky was already dark, but Xiao Yue was still in the mansion, sitting under the thickest big pagoda tree.

This is where Zhuang Jiuyao used to sit.From the beginning of his own memory, almost every time he came to Shu Palace, he saw people under this big locust tree.

He used to watch chess, draw, write, read and play piano here.

At this time, I raised my head to look at the dead leaves of the locust tree, and I could still hear his lazy voice: "Ah Yue, the weather is getting colder, please wear more clothes when you go back to the palace."

There was a smile on the corner of the mouth of the person trapped in the memory, inexplicably looking extremely lonely.

"My lord! My lord!" The little eunuch next to him shouted.

I don't know how many times I shouted, Xiao Yue came back to his senses and answered: "What's wrong?"

"It's cold, how long have you been sitting, go back. Otherwise, the empress can't find you later, and she will be angry again." The little eunuch said softly, "Are your hands cold too?"

Xiao Yue didn't answer, but when she heard the word "Niangniang", her eyes darkened.

He sat for a while before getting up, and when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he met the butler head-on.

The butler was a little surprised, and after saluting, he said, "Is the lord still there? This old slave went out for a while, thinking that you have already returned to the palace, lord."

Xiao Yue smiled: "I was afraid that my third brother would be lonely, so I sat for a while longer, and the housekeeper rested earlier."

The housekeeper responded, and then sighed: "You and my prince are really brothers.".

Xiao Yue lowered her eyes when she heard the words, then raised her eyes and smiled, then walked towards the side door.

"His Highness King Qi is really strange." Zhuang Ning'er was in the dark, seeing Xiao Yue walking out, her thin back seemed to have lost all the anger it used to.

She sighed softly, and Wei Qingcheng came out, grabbed her shoulder, and squeezed it slightly.

Zhuang Ning'er leaned against his chest, looked up at him, her big eyes flickered, and said: "Our young master is also strange, His Royal Highness Qi Wang is so kind to him, why is he always on guard against him?"

Wei Qingcheng remained silent as before, just looked down at her and smiled, and kissed her on the forehead.

From the beginning to the end, the only real innocent in this capital is this little girl.

It was very late at night, only Xiao Yuan's heavy cough echoed in the Tai Chi Hall.

"Come here!" He shouted between coughing, but there was no movement outside the hall, but he didn't even have the strength to get angry.

After a long time, there was the sound of light footsteps, and after a while someone brought tea and handed it to him.

Xiao Yuan took a sip in a daze, coughed twice, then opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw that it was his youngest son.

Xiao Yue was expressionless, seeing him staring straight at her, she said, "Father, do you want more water?"

"Where's the imperial doctor?" Xiao Yuan asked out of breath.

"I'm afraid that there will be too many noises, disturbing my father's rest." Xiao Yue smiled, "So I sent everyone away. The other people are not at ease, my father is now being taken care of by my son."

Xiao Yuan looked at him suspiciously, as if he didn't know what he meant, and asked after a long time: "Yue'er?"

Xiao Yue responded in a low voice: "Yue'er is here."

"Where's your mother?" he asked.

"Mother and concubine," Xiao Yue smiled, "Father, do you really want to know?"

Xiao Yuan frowned, coughed a few more times, and asked abruptly, "Where's your mother and concubine?"

This sentence was raised too high, and he almost couldn't catch his breath, so he took a hard breath.

Xiao Yue quickly propped up the pillow, helped him to sit up, and then patted him on the back a few times: "Be patient first, I'll tell you slowly."

After such a toss, a thin layer of sweat formed on Xiao Yuan's forehead.He forced himself to calm down, and the father and son sat facing each other for a while, when Xiao Yue suddenly found something from behind.

It was an imperial edict, which Xiao Yuan had prepared in advance.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan's eyes widened, and he shouted in surprise and anger: "Yue'er?"

"Father, please don't worry, Yue'er didn't bring this out." Xiao Yue smiled, unfolded the edict, read a few sentences leisurely, and said, "Father said that the third brother's character is precious, and he can bear the burden , In fact, Yue'er also thinks so. But now the third brother is gone, what should I do?"

Without waiting for Xiao Yuan to speak, he said to himself, "When I returned to the palace in the daytime today, I saw the Queen Mother holding the will you prepared, and I was shocked and asked her. Guess what she said? She said that this is a good time, let me imitate your handwriting, change the name of the third brother to mine, and then give you medicine to create the illusion of your sudden death. After that, I can inherit the throne, and she You can also honor the world in the name of the Empress Dowager."

Xiao Yuan's eyes were staring like copper bells, and his throat was so angry that there was a wheezing sound, Xiao Yue quickly patted him on the back again.

His tone was still leisurely, with a smile on his face, and at this moment he was inexplicably like Zhuang Jiuyao: "Don't be angry, I also think that the concubine mother is really daring, so I have locked her in the sky prison and left her to your disposal."

"I really didn't expect that you would pass on the throne to the third brother. It seems that mother still underestimated the importance of Concubine Xiang in your heart." Xiao Yue still laughed, her voice was very soft, "She clearly has a relationship with Concubine Xiang. You only get favored if you are somewhat similar, and you still can't recognize your own status. Damn it."

The expression on Xiao Yuan's face was indescribable, he just felt that he had never known this person in front of him, this person who had been his son for nearly 20 years.

That smiling face was unfamiliar, but also terrifying.

"While she loves her own glory, she hates the Concubine Xiang and you, Father, who brought her glory, and hates me by the way. Because I am the only thing she can control." Xiao Yue shook her head with a meek expression And helpless, "Didn't she just want me to be the emperor?"

He bent his eyes and smiled softly: "I don't."

The author has something to say:

Shock!King Qi Xiaoyue deliberately planned to control the court, imprisoned his mother, threatened his father, and the emperor covered the sky with his hands, why is he insane?The reason is so heartbreaking, it is just to not be the emperor! !
