purple yellow

Let go in a daze.Regaining the freedom of speech, Zhao Zhen secretly rejoiced, glanced at the bay red horse in the other side, and weighed the extraordinary product, so he thought about the price he could offer, and then talked about the conditions incessantly. "I promise you, as long as you help me deal with the villains here and in the inn, I can give you ten or even dozens of BMWs better than your mount as compensation after the incident. If BMWs are not enough, gold, silver and treasure , silk and satin, no matter what, as long as you ask, I can afford it!"

A silence.

For a moment, Zi Jin laughed wildly.A group of Younv in white silk were also provoked by Zhao Zhen's "loose talk" and sniggered.Bai Shidao: "Such a big tone, you actually boast that you can afford everything my master wants. You don't take pictures of yourself. What kind of thing are you? Do you think you are the current emperor?"

Everyone in the Chai Mansion couldn't help but secretly startled when they heard the words, Bai Yigeng yelled that it was not good, for fear of accidentally revealing the identity of the emperor in front of him and implicating Zhan Zhao's whereabouts.Stealing a sneak peek at Zi Jin, I saw that his eyes had not changed, and his complexion was as usual.Bai Yi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but fortunately Zi Jin didn't pay attention to the changes in the complexions of these people... No, maybe he noticed it, but he never thought that the person in front of him was the current emperor and deliberately ignored it.Of course, he can't be so at ease. If the emperor reveals his identity in person, all previous efforts will be wasted.So absolutely don't let him have a chance to say a word.

Resuming her soft and charming attitude, Bai Yijiao smiled again and again. "How can this man be the emperor? Besides, even if he is, how can the master take it seriously? Maybe it's because he is the emperor that the master wants to kill him quickly, right?"

Bai Ling You Nu understands what Bai Yi means, and all those whom Zhan Zhao favors are hindrances to Zi Jin, because what Zi Jin hopes most is that Zhan Zhao can put all his attention on herself.Bailing Younv snickered more and more, like silver bells ringing endlessly, but Zhao Zhen would not understand why they were laughing. In his opinion, it was just the evil way of the world who justly despised the majesty of the royal family.If you were a decent person, you might still be able to count on self-reporting your family for loyalty and help, but for this group of people, it might be counterproductive.

Zi Jin walked towards the Claret Horse amidst all the laughter.When the horse saw its master approaching, it couldn't wait to struggle.Zi Jin smiled slightly, stroked the horse's head tenderly, and then no one could have expected that he would suddenly draw out the sword "Silver Whip" from his waist and wipe it on the horse's neck.The bay red horse let out a mournful cry, and died on the spot, everyone's faces suddenly changed color, and Yinling's laughter disappeared completely.

Zi Jin still smiled, and it didn't change at all when he was beheaded, but no one would think that kind of smile was gentle anymore, it was more like the smile of death.Zi Jin suddenly turned and walked towards Zhao Zhen, causing the six or seven people in the Chai Mansion to be nervous, but no one dared to make a move easily, and the fear made everyone give way.Zi Jin drove straight in, as if entering no one's land, until he reached the front, Zi Jin gave Zhao Zhen a cold look, and the other party immediately let go in panic.Zhao Zhen, who was freed, was entangled by Zi Jin's gaze before he could feel a little bit of surprise.Zi Jin leaned down, grabbed Zhao Zhen's skirt and brought him to him.

"In this world, I just want to get the heart of one person, so that he will never look at anyone except me. How about it, can you give it? As long as you can give it, it's no problem to save you ten times or dozens of times. Saving hundreds of people and thousands of people will not be difficult for me. Whether you tell me to kill people or save people, I can do whatever it takes." The close face-to-face distance is even more terrifying, and Zhao Zhen is too terrified to say a word at all. .Before he could get used to it, the fiery tone turned into ice-cold. "It's a pity that if you can't give it, then you have no value, and you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me. If you really want to make up for me, you might as well—apologize with death."

A light laugh spilled out of the corners of his mouth, gradually turning from weird and cold to wild and crazy.Zi Jin waved her hand casually, and pushed the defenseless Zhao Zhen into the arms of the person behind her.Hearing that Zi Jin had no plans to save people, the man restrained Zhao Zhen again.

Bai Yi smiled at Zhao Zhen: "You should thank my master, if you were in the past, you would have died a long time ago. As for the reason..." Bai Yi did not continue, but glanced at the inn meaningfully, smiling evilly Charming and enchanting.

Zhao Zhen didn't understand what Bai Yi was implying, but her glance at the inn reminded him of Zhan Zhao who was in danger at the moment, and another impulse stirred up in his heart, forcing him to yell at Zi Jin without thinking. Said: "If I offend you, you don't need to save me, but that person in the inn is very important to me, very important, just treat it as... just treat it..."

Zhao Zhen's voice softened significantly.A sense of humiliation washed over his chest over and over again, but then he shook his head and threw away the meaninglessness.What is the use of the emperor's dignity at this time?If it was to save Zhan Zhao, why couldn't he bow his head?

"Just as I beg you, I beg you, as long as you save my friends in the inn, the conditions I said will also stand.... I beg you... I beg you!"

So affectionate.Thinking so, Zi Jin couldn't help but glance towards the inn, but it was a jealous look.

I haven't gotten half of Zhan Zhao's attention yet, so why should I waste my efforts to bring about the reunion of irrelevant people?

With a snort, he turned a blind eye to Zhao Zhen's repeated pleadings, and without looking back, Zi Jin walked towards the horses, jumped on one of them, and ran away.When the white silk girls saw their master leaving, they didn't dare to delay, and got on their horses one after another to follow.Only Bai Yi was left, and his original shock gradually turned into an epiphany.

Ah, it turned out to be such a thing.

Another poor victim who is eager to fall into the honey poison named "Zhan Zhao".

"Miss!"

Bai Shi drove the horse closer, and stretched out his hand to pull Bai Yi onto the horse.When it was over, they clipped the horse's belly, and the two rode away together.Suddenly hearing laughter behind his ears, Bai Shiqi said, "Elder Sister, what are you laughing at?"

Smile and answer: "Of course it's a ridiculous thing!"

Interesting, isn't it?Bai Yutang's feelings are overwhelming, and now there is another emperor, Zhan Zhao, Zhan Zhao, to what extent can you bear it?

Inadvertently light one fire after another, but be careful, a single spark can start a prairie fire, and don't catch yourself on fire.

Don't forget that the most terrible one hasn't really burned yet.

************************************************** **********************

Zhan Zhao supported the door leaf with one hand, exhausted from sleepiness to the extreme.Unable to support his own weight, he had no choice but to rely on the door panel behind him and hold it firmly, his face completely pale from shock.

The moment he sent the emperor out just now, he caught a glimpse of a man and a horse, which almost made his heart skip a beat.Although the man couldn't see his face clearly because he turned his head, the purple all over was too familiar, so familiar that he was terrified, so terrified that he almost didn't want to think about it.

No, it shouldn't be that person, it is impossible for him to appear here, absolutely impossible...Zhan Zhao got rid of Sha Mo's weakness, and forced himself to keep his sanity clear, because the eyes of the people in Chai Mansion in that side had changed from shock to wolf-like ferocity.

Obviously at the end of the crossbow, he turned over tricks in desperation.Zhan Zhao in actual combat is too tricky.Even if Prince Xiao Chai is here, it might be okay to know his intentions, but when it comes to responding to Zhan Zhao's endless and elusive actions immediately, it may be difficult.I thought that the escape of the waiter in the shop was a lesson learned from the past, but now it seems that it may have been a trap that Zhan Zhao set up early, forcing everyone to spend more attention on looking at the window that is not very strong. After all, hitting the window is better than hitting the window It's so much easier to get out the door.It's just unexpected, no matter how well-prevented, how can it match that person's thoughtfulness?

Everything seemed casual at first.This is the case by repeatedly launching attacks on the window lattices in various directions to disperse the defense; using the Yunlang sword to scrape the inner edge of the sickle hook made by one person, before it can be cut off, it is the same to push the weapon away.Then Zhan Zhao staggered and grabbed the long whip, and used the whip instead of the sword to sweep towards the enemy in front of the door.Just as everyone was dodging, the whip cleverly wrapped around the sickle hook that had been embedded in the door bolt before, using the momentum of the reverse hook, skillfully exerted force, and the slightly thick bar wood was hooked away, and even more so with this blunt force Together, the door of the inn was opened inward.As for Zhao Zhen, when the crack in the door first appeared, he was thrown out by Zhan Zhao after lightly saying "Your Majesty offended".And at the same time as he finished pulling the whip with one hand and throwing the person with the other, Zhan Zhao himself stepped up to follow in Zhao Zhen's footsteps. When Zhao Zhen's escape door was not fully opened, he wrapped his arms around the door and closed the door in an instant.The long whip rolled up a table and threw it towards the window that Xiao Er had smashed earlier, just blocking the damaged space.And all of this was done in one go so that it was jaw-dropping, so fast that no one could react.

Di Yong, who was the first to react, was filled with hatred. "Master Zhan, do you think it's meaningful to be struggling like this?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Whether it makes sense or not is up to me."

"Useless act!"

Following Di Yong's wink, the person on the far left wanted to jump out of the window, but Zhan Zhao didn't move, he just swung his long whip.Di Yong sneered, thinking that with a distance of six feet, a five-foot whip would be beyond reach.However, the smile didn't stay on his face for a moment, and the silver light flashing from the whip head made everyone's faces change.With a wail, the escaped man was killed on the spot, with the Yunlang sword stuck in his chest.Only then did everyone see clearly that Zhan Zhao had attached the sword to the whip at some point.

"Those who are not afraid of death, just try again. This sword is as unruly as its master, if you dare to be an enemy, the opponent will be bloody on the spot."

The long whip was withdrawn, Zhan Zhao held Yunlang horizontally, and smiled boldly, making people feel that the exhaustion of the person in front of him was an illusion at all.Mingming's breathing was chaotic, his face was pale and blue, his waist was stained with blood, and he was drugged with anesthesia. He obviously looked like he would pass out at any moment, but he straightened his body and stood there.No one dared to question what Zhan Zhao said, and no one dared to underestimate Zhan Zhao at this moment.Everyone knew very well that if they were negligent in the face of such a person, they might be the ones who died.

Di Yong suddenly burst out laughing inappropriately, he stroked his forehead, his smile could not be suppressed.

A trace of puzzlement flashed in Zhan Zhao's eyes: "Brother Di, why don't you share something ridiculous with me?"

Di Yong smiled and said, "Lord Zhan, do you think that even if the emperor escapes from this inn, he will be able to return to Kaifeng smoothly?"

Zhan Zhao said lightly, "Brother Di is not worried about this."

Di Yong seemed to realize something: "Ah, yes, actually the emperor didn't intend to go back to Kaifeng, otherwise you wouldn't have gone to Bichuan County."

"What do you mean by that?" His expression suddenly became serious.

"Smart as Mr. Zhan, it would be boring if I need Di to explain." Di Yong's eyes were teasing. "Actually, this decision can't be wrong. Of course, if the two of you chose Huang Ling and Juzhou to go back to Kaifeng, you might be able to return to Beijing smoothly, but the battle between Song and Li may have already begun."

"Could it be that you...?"

"I forgot to tell Mr. Zhan. The Lord of Dali has already learned that Prince Zhongyi was murdered by Mr. Zhan. As for the one who ordered Mr. Zhan to act so perversely, of course it was His Majesty the Emperor of Song Dynasty. Within ten and a half months, Song Li's border defense must There will be great chaos. Although Dali is a small country, it has always been friendly with Song Dynasty, so it is not uncommon for the Song army to have a small number of generals in the southwest border. I dare not expect Dali to be as powerful as a broken bamboo and go straight to Huanglong, but at least it can disturb the southwest. Border unrest has been going on for a while, right?"

"Do you think everything will really go as you wish?"

"At least I know that even if Zhao Zhen escapes to Bichuan County, he won't be able to mobilize a single soldier." Di Yong looked at Zhan Zhao with even more complacency. "That's right, Mr. Zhan took so much trouble to get Zhao Zhen and the waiter out of the inn, but he just told them to throw themselves into a trap!"

I wanted to see Zhan Zhao panicked, but I didn't expect that the corner of the man's mouth would draw a calm arc.

"Really?" Looking up, Zhan Zhao calmly met Di Yong's surprise, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are lying in ambush here, do you think I will be stupid enough not to be suspicious of Bichuan County?"

"What do you mean?"

"This Bugui inn happens to be located in the middle of Canglin Bichuan. There are no villages in the front or back, but it is built on a larger scale than ordinary country shops. I'm afraid it has something to do with the 'Yi' flags and lanterns hanging outside?" Yi 'It's the same as the word 'post' in the station. I heard that in some remote areas, due to the shortage of funds for repairs by the imperial court, the local government will tacitly allow the post station to double as an inn. As I guessed, this was originally a post station set up by the government, right?"

Seeing what Zhan Zhao said, Di Yong no longer concealed it. "Master Zhan is as careful as dust."

"This also makes sense, why Xiaoer didn't collude with you, and the innkeeper who has also been running here for a long time was favored by Chai Wang's mansion by chance. Zhan never thought that there would be so many coincidences in everything. In the beginning, the shopkeeper was a branch of King Chai’s Mansion here, and the purpose should be to act as an eyeliner to deliver news? Canglin is a fiefdom of the Chai family. Although the military and government enjoy a lot of independent power, Emperor Taizong still has concerns after all. In Bichuan, the same scale of authority and military force was set up in Bichuan, with the purpose of monitoring Canglin's movements. It is intriguing that the station at the middle point belongs to the Canglin forces. , Staffing must be reported to the road level for approval and kept on file. Chai Wangfu can do whatever he wants, maybe not only the two counties of Bichuan, Yazhou, Maozhou, and even Yizhou have been touched by his forces, right?" Reporting a place name, Zhan Zhaodu did not pay attention to Di Yong's eyes for a moment, and saw that the wavering in his eyes continued to expand, and he had confirmed a certain terrible situation.

Di Yong's smile suddenly stiffened.Although it is not perfect, it is not far from it. "Zhan Zhao, you are too smart, don't you?"

"Is it smart, or is it unfortunate?" Di Yong choked.Seeing this, Zhan Zhao's eyes shone brightly. "Brother Di is unmoved. It seems that Zhan's estimation is too conservative. So what about Luzhou, Gongzhou, or... Zizhou?" It was dark.

Di Yong couldn't laugh anymore.Just how divine is Zhan Zhao?But let him know that the Bugui Inn is a post station, and he can figure out the sphere of influence controlled by the Chai Palace in the southwest region, isn't it too incredible? !Just as he was having doubts, he heard Zhan Zhao say again: "Brother Di, don't make a fuss. Zhan has always been accustomed to hope for the best and plan for the worst. If not, then the waiter in the shop would be dragged into the tiger's mouth by me." ?”

So Zhan Zhao really asked the waiter to report to another place?No, it's also possible that it's just slapstick.Just as he was thinking hard, Zhan Zhao said with a smile: "Actually, at most, I was only worried about the connection between the two counties of Canglin and Bichuan, but after listening to Brother Di's words, I suddenly realized that the power of Prince Chai's Mansion is far more than that. "

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say a word?"

Raising his eyes slightly, his eyes looked lazy and tired, but in fact they were full of irony that couldn't be erased. "Could it be Huang Ling, Juzhou..."

Di Yong's breath was stagnant, and then he realized that he had made such a stupid mistake.When the grass and trees are all soldiers, what is not a way of life is naturally a way of death.However, he carelessly reveals that Kuizhou Road is a safe path, and Zhan Zhao turns out to be out of Chengdufu Road. More than half of Zizhou Road is controlled by the Chai family.However, if we say that the control is not all right, under such a delicate situation, it can be regarded as a mutually beneficial alliance at best.And Zizhou is the governing place of Zizhou Road, and now the two factions are divided, and each other is choking each other's veins, and it depends on who can take advantage of the opportunity to make a move.The disputes there had already troubled Lord Xiao Chai. The Zizhou transfer envoy Sun Shijie and some of his royalists were stubborn. If it wasn't for the fact that the young prince was always meticulous in his work, so that he couldn't catch the slightest clue, Prince Chai's mansion would have been in danger.If Zhan Zhao sent the waiter to go to Zizhou and pass the news of the murder to Sun Shijie and other royalist factions, then wouldn't Chai Wang's mansion be... . (Zero: The geography here is rather chaotic. Things like Canglin, Bichuan, Huangling, and Haoshan were all randomly edited by me. The main reason was that I was out of town and disconnected from the Internet when I wrote it. As for the others, I I copied it according to the map of the Northern Song Dynasty, and everyone who has the map can look it up, so that you can roughly guess the directions of the places I compiled.)

Thinking of this, Di Yong suddenly became agitated, and said solemnly: "The shop boy, where did you tell him to report?"

Zhan Zhao laughed lightly: "Brother Di is really funny, do you think Zhan Zhao is as confident and speaks freely like Brother Di? Or maybe you wanted to use some words to shake me, like just using Bai Yutang's life or death. It's a pity that if you suffer once, you will gain wisdom, Zhan Zhao will never make the same mistake a second time."

Gritting teeth. "Very good, Di has been taught. It's just Zhan Zhao, even if you can guard the inn lobby to death, it doesn't mean that my people can't leave the inn and catch Zhao Zhen." Suddenly he looked up and shouted loudly: "Second floor, Give me a hand!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was only a sound upstairs, and then the movement came outside the inn.Zhan Zhao secretly called out that it was not good, he just kept an eye on the people in the lobby, but he didn't think that there were still ambushes left on the second floor.This misstep made Zhan Zhao feel a little helpless. He wanted to go out of the inn to rescue Zhao Zhen, but he was afraid that he would release the enemies in the lobby, so he was stumbling.Back and forth, Zhan Zhao knew that his condition was so bad that there was no need to delay.

With a swipe of the long whip in his right hand, the three people on the right were bounced away, while the sword in his left hand was used to slash the weapons of the four people, and he was inadvertently led away from the gate of the inn.And when the door opened again, seeing Zhao Zhen being escorted back in desperation, the frustration made his chest ache.

"Go away!—"

Roared with all his might.Yan Zifei used all his strength.In the air, Zhan Zhao rolled his whip with his right hand, wrapping around the neck of a person beside Zhao Zhen.Without waiting for the other party to react, another roll was made, and the long whip strangled another person like a noose.At the foothold, the sword came together, Zhan Zhao used the cloud waves to land on the ground to borrow strength, leaning slightly, volleying to avoid the attack, and at the same time trapping out the third person.The three of them were like grasshoppers tied to a whip, Zhan Zhao threw them away from Zhao Zhen's side with the whip.Immediately afterwards, he threw the sword to his right hand, and the sword flowers flew down, and the remaining few people were killed immediately on the spot.

Shicai was still a prisoner, and when he regained his freedom in a blink of an eye, Zhao Zhen forgot to react with joy, and the sound of swords and swords in his ears was in a trance. Hold yourself lightly.

Feeling that Zhan Zhao's weight was unusually heavy, Zhao Zhen was taken aback: "Guard Zhan?"

"It's okay, it's just that I'm a little out of strength. I'm a humble minister, I hope I can use your majesty's shoulders."

Hearing that Zhan Zhao was exhausted, Zhao Zhen took the initiative to hug him.Zhan Zhao leaned on his shoulder to pant for a moment, and then the usual soft words rang out in Zhao Zhen's ears. "Your Majesty, can you answer the matter?"

"What?" Zhao Zhen asked.

Staring at the enemies who were surrounded and pressing at every step, he secretly pressed his fingers on the acupuncture points on his waist, making the severe pain force out a bit of clarity. "Your Majesty, please promise that no matter what happens in the future, you will never act rashly." Let go, straighten your body, and stand face to face.Zhan Zhao looked extremely serious. "If Your Majesty is determined to thwart Chai Wenyi's wolfish ambitions and still wants to protect the people of the Great Song Dynasty, please follow the instructions of my minister for the time being."

I don't know what is stuck in my throat, but the uneasiness in my heart suddenly surges with an impulse to stop Zhan Zhao.But stop what?He doesn't even know what the other party wants to do, let alone looking at Zhan Zhao's resolute eyes, any uneasiness can only be exchanged for a soft word of trust: "I promise you".

On the face close at hand, a smile suddenly bloomed.It was obviously a commonplace smile, but it became a little different at this moment. It was still warming the heart like the spring breeze, but it gave off a different kind of beauty, shining brightly like sunshine and rain, making the blood all over the body scream like a countercurrent The pool of people's hearts was rippling to the point of almost trembling.

When the smile receded and the blade of the sword slowly crossed his eyebrows, Zhan Zhao's expression returned to determination again.The energy spread from the whole body, causing the underwear to bulge slightly, and the hem of the robe fluttered.The overflow of internal strength intensified, and the trembling of Yinyun waves continued.

When Di Yong gave an order, everyone in the Chai Mansion came to kill one after another.At the same time, Yunlang flew up to meet him.

What kind of arrogance and resoluteness is it?Wherever Yunlang went, he was invincible.Every movement is incredibly fast.Not only fast, but also accurate and ruthless, one sword for one person.Blood splattered continuously, onto the ground, onto the tables and chairs, and onto his body, but Ke Zhanzhao didn't notice it, as if he couldn't feel the temperature of the blood at all, and only had cold murderous intent in his eyes.Having never seen Zhan Zhao like that before, Zhao Zhen opened his mouth slightly in shock and was speechless.When the facial muscles finally loosened, he felt that Zhan Zhao's every move was very familiar, as if... By the way, it was very similar to the scroll that Nangong Wei handed over before leaving—if he hadn't taken out the observation painting from time to time Skills, memorizing the postures in the scroll, I am afraid it is difficult to distinguish.

The ominous premonition drove the uneasiness in his heart, Zhao Zhen just wanted to take a step to stop Zhan Zhao, but he heard a loud shout.

"do not move!"

The strong tone made the body unable to move.Afterwards, from hardening to soft, like silk cotton flakes falling to my heart.

"Your Majesty, please close your eyes."

Close it obediently.

Once you can't see, your hearing becomes more sensitive.The intensified sound of the wind, the sacking of clothes, and the sound of weapons hitting and falling from time to time gradually suppressed the most noisy human voices.When everything returned to calm and even the last noise of the wind died away, Zhao Zhen timidly opened his eyes to look.But he saw corpses strewn all over the ground, and among the bloodstains, there was only one person standing tall.

"Exhibition... guard...?"

Stepping over the corpses towards Zhan Zhao, Zhao Zhen was both surprised and delighted.What was surprising was that it was too terrifying to kill everyone in such a short period of time, and the ruthless methods were really not like what Zhan Zhao did.However, thanks to this, they were finally able to leave the inn.As Zhao Zhen thought about it, the joy on his face grew stronger. "Guard Zhan, you have won."

The figure turned slowly, and instinctively wanted to respond to the joy of others, but under the exhaustion, he could barely squeeze out a faint smile to the extreme.Zhan Zhao opened his mouth, but couldn't make any sound, and suddenly collapsed on his back without any warning.

Zhao Zhen was shocked, he quickly caught the person with his eyes and hands, and fell to the ground. "Guard Zhan, what's wrong with you?"

His lips and teeth moved slightly, as if he wanted to answer, but this time he opened it, and a mouthful of bright red sprayed out, splashing Zhao Zhen's jaw.Zhao Zhen was stunned by this shocking scene, his body froze, until he felt thick blood dripping down his neck to his collar, and then he realized what happened.

"Zhan Huwei, Zhan Huwei! Don't scare me, what's wrong with you? How did this happen?!!!" His face turned pale with shock.However, Zhao Zhen's anxiety didn't help at all. Zhan Zhao sometimes bowed and sometimes curled up, vomiting blood continuously.Zhao Zhen wiped it with his hands, but where it was wiped clean, his hands were soon stained with blood.Liushen desperately searched for something that could be used to wipe it from his bosom, and unexpectedly found the silk cloth with Zhan Zhao's image on it when he was comparing pictures with Nangong Wei.It's just that the square silk was soon soaked in blood.

The scarlet on the white silk is particularly eye-catching, and it is three points more dazzling than the red of the official uniform on the painted silk. The red and white meet in full swing, and the eye sockets are inexplicably "smoked" hot.I finally understood what the previous anxiety was.Looking at Zhan Zhao who finally stopped vomiting blood but was still panting, Zhao Zhen said tremblingly, "You... used the trick you just figured out?" Unable to suppress the annoyance in his heart, he roared again. "Mr. Buju clearly told you not to use it. He said that the move was too dangerous, and the internal force could easily devour your body and damage your internal organs. Why are you still...?" Complaints suddenly disappeared.

Zhan Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth weakly, and said intermittently: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Zhan Zhao...can't care about...so much anymore. What my teacher said...don't use it unless it's a last resort. And right now...it's a last resort."

"Zhan Wei, why are you so stupid?! You have tried your best, even if you miss and get caught, at least you and I are still alive, and we don't have to worry about finding another opportunity to escape."

"Your Majesty...the current situation is not just about saving your life...so simple. Chai Wenyi set up a trick to convince the Lord of Dali that Zhan Zhao...had obeyed His Majesty's order...had harmed the loyal prince, and the war was about to break out. The people of the country are in dire straits. Your Majesty insisted on going to Bichuan at the beginning just to prevent the situation from spreading, but now...how can Zhan Zhao be alone? That's why I have the courage to... implore your majesty...to answer one more request."

"what?"

"Your Majesty, please listen carefully to every word Zhan Zhao says next, and keep it in your heart."

Holding Zhan Zhao's trembling hand, Zhao Zhen nodded solemnly.

Zhan Zhao showed a relieved expression, and then said sternly: "I'm lying in the inn, Bi Chuan's power may have been controlled by Chai Wenyi. And I just said to Di Yong just now... As Zhan Zhao expected, there are two roads in the northwest... No, Perhaps more of them have already entered the hands of King Chai, and once the battle begins, the frontier defenders will most likely pretend to be defeated without fighting...Ren Dali's army commander will drive straight in and attack the important places in the capital."

Zhao Zhen's heart sank, but seeing Zhan Zhao looking at him with a worried face, he thought that if he became more and more anxious, it would only make Zhan Zhao's depression worse, and he had to make him feel at ease at this moment, so he forced the weak and dared not Show it. "Don't worry, I will call other defenders to take precautions. Even if it is true as you said, General Yang Zongbao is in Xiongzhou, and he can be robbed halfway."

"No!" Zhan Zhao leaned up, and hurriedly grabbed Zhao Zhen's shoulders, "Zhan Zhao knows that His Majesty trusts General Yang, and Zhan Zhao...does it too. It's just that so many things have happened, and it affects the whole body, Your Majesty... It is imperative to be defensive.”

Zhao Zhen knew that Zhan Zhao was worried that the matter of Princess Chai would shake the loyalty of the Yang family.He would not be surprised that these words were advised by any minister in the court, but at the moment it came from Zhan Zhao's mouth, he was somewhat uncomfortable, because he knew Zhan Zhao's heart and respect for the Yang family of Tianbo Mansion very well.

... No, thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising that Zhan Zhao would say these things.First, he is acting as a villain first and then a gentleman, just as Zhan Zhao said, "It is necessary to guard against others." Wouldn't blocking Dali hit Chai Wenyi's arms and make the war worse?Second, this may also be the concern of the Yang family.Even if Yang Zongbao doesn't want to help the tyrant, once the Chai Palace raises the banner of reaction and uses the truth about the murder of Princess Chai to make a fuss, rumors will suddenly spread.Not handing over military power may prevent a disaster, but just giving someone a handle, and the villain will tell the truth. How many people believe it?Handing over the military power is just to be killed later, how can it be reused in the future?Zhan Zhao's so-called defense is also to prevent others from murdering the Yang family.

"I understand. This is the grievance between me and the Chai family. I will try my best to keep the Yang family out of the matter."

Zhan Zhao smiled gratefully.

The heartstrings were inexplicably pulled by that pure beauty, and his hands couldn't help holding Zhan Zhao even tighter. Zhao Zhen said softly: "Guard Zhan, I remember what you said, let's take a rest? Let's leave for Zizhou now. I know why you wrote the word 'Zi' on my palm earlier. I just remembered that Sun Shijie, the transfer envoy of Zizhou, is Bao Qing's student, so it won't be too late to heal the injury there."

Zhan Zhao shook his head in pain. "I also thought that Zizhou was safe, but I just tried it out. I'm afraid the trip to Zizhou will be... dangerous. Besides, I have asked... the waiter of the shop to go to Zizhou to find Mr. Sun. Just in case, even His Majesty won't... be in danger."

"Then, if you don't go to Zizhou, where should you go?"

"Please...please Your Majesty to continue to the original... Bichuan direction, but you can't take the main road, you have to go over the mountains... over the mountains... and take the small road to the south, along the intersection of Bichuan and Wumeng. ...Through the defense of the Chai family. Although this trip is dangerous, it is the best choice. I heard...the people of the Wumeng tribe are wild, and the people on the border will not easily approach... approaching its territory. Your Majesty can take advantage of this...to cross Bichuan arrived in Juzhou."

"Juzhou?"

"When you arrive in Juzhou, your Majesty should not go...don't go to the government to ask for help. Instead, go to the ruined earth temple in the west of the city...to find the...beggars there. Your Majesty should be able to sing the song...the minister used to connect with the beggar gang... ...Pity the flowers, right?" Seeing Zhao Zhen nodding, Zhan Zhao continued to speak with difficulty, "That's good, Your Majesty remember to find the Beggar Gang... Elder Yan of the Juzhou sub-helm, you don't need to reveal your identity, just tell him ...Your Majesty is a friend of the minister, and he is in trouble here, please... escort your majesty to... Kuizhou."

Zhao Zhen nodded his head again and again, seeing that Zhan Zhao's voice was getting softer and his breath getting weaker, he said heartbroken: "Guard Zhan, stop talking, take a rest?"

"No, there is no time. Only one of Mobei Shuangyi has come, and the other...maybe soon. Your Majesty...you must... remember what Zhan Zhao said, and get out of here quickly."

"Then you shouldn't talk anymore, don't waste time, we're leaving now!"

Zhao Zhen tried to lift Zhan Zhao up and leave the inn, but was stopped by Zhan Zhao.Looking at Zhan Zhao's declining eyes, but seeing death like home, an ominous premonition of doom arises spontaneously.He chuckled jokingly. "Zhanwei guards you...you don't want me to throw you here, do you?"

"Please... Your Majesty... alone... escape."

"Zhan Zhao!" With a roar, Zhao Zhen grabbed Zhan Zhao's sleeve desperately and said, "Let's go together! If you want me to leave you and run for your life, I can't do it! I won't allow you to give up?"

"Zhan Zhao...not giving up...but choosing. I know this body very well...the internal organs are dying...In fact, the No.20 four moves of that set of swordsmanship...is very simple, just use the existing The... 23 strokes were all done in one go. The teacher said it was dangerous, because Zhan Zhao's... internal energy is not as good as before... uncontrollable, and it will cause the internal energy to bite back. Just now he forcibly used... the internal energy is exhausted, and even the heart...can't protect it , I have...can't hold on anymore..."

"If you can't go on, you have to go on! This is my imperial decree, and I won't allow you to disobey it." No matter how loudly you shouted, you couldn't resist the sadness in your heart, which made the words have a terrible crying sound. "Are you going to leave me too? You are the only one I can rely on, and if you leave me too, what do you ask me to do?"

The scorching heat in his eyes had been holding back for a long time, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore and fell down.A drop fell on Zhan Zhao's cheek, and a drop fell on the eyelid, the eyelids that were about to close were stunned to open again.

"His Majesty?……"

Raising his hand, his trembling fingers gently wiped away the crying emperor like a child.

"Your Majesty, please...don't say such things. Along the way, I...you can see very clearly that Your Majesty is very strong. Even...even if the next...journey does not show up, Your Majesty...will definitely be able to return to the capital. ...to revive Chao Gang...there is no time...Your Majesty must arrive in Kuizhou before...Song Li starts the war, otherwise...otherwise the consequences will be...disastrous."

Ren Zhanzhao wiped his tears for himself, Zhao Zhen knew that he was very useless now, this is an behavior that an emperor should never have.It's just... his heart is also clear, if he were to lose Zhan Zhao now, how could the blood and tears in his heart be like this?

Looking sideways at the blood-stained silk painting that Zhao Zhen was clutching tightly in his palm, Zhan Zhao smiled sadly but also very gently. "Although parting is painful, Zhan Zhao will never forget His Majesty's friendship with Zhan Zhao. From the first day I entered the officialdom, I... have never regretted it. What Zhan Zhao followed... was the Mingjun of the time. , the ones Zhanzhao meets... are bosom friends with deep affection and deep nature."

"What kind of wise man am I?! My aptitude is stupid, and I can't break Chai Wenyi's schemes and schemes, and I can't stop Chai Wangfu's ambitions. What kind of close friends are I?! Only you are constantly giving for me, but I... can't save Feng He Huqing and the others couldn't save Bai Yutang, and now even you..."

"Your Majesty, the current world...needs...not
