obey

Princess Baxia was slightly startled, and smiled slightly: "Li Luoyan."

"The princess is a thousand years old." Liang Xiao was surprised, and saluted, "I have heard for a long time that Princess Ba Xia is heroic and beautiful. She can sing poems and books, and she can go to the martial arts field. Liang Xiao can see you today. This trip is worthwhile. You also come to see Yixian ?”

"If the Holy Majesty can allow a woman to go to the battlefield, then I will be the leader of the army. Unfortunately, in your eyes, the only way for us to be married is the only way." Princess Baxia flicked her sleeves, returned the salute, and raised her horse. Rein turned and left.

Liang Xiao called her: "Princess misunderstood, Liang has never thought about it this way, if you go to war, Liang will also come to see you off."

Princess Baxia gave a rare smile, and turned to him and asked, "I heard that you are inquiring about the post house of the Kong family? It's in the south of the imperial city, near Yumingfang teahouse."

Liang Xiao got up and bowed to thank him.

Yumingfang teahouse is also the property of Liang Xiao’s family. It is located in a quiet place in the south corner of the city. It is first-class luxury.

The daily expenses of Prince Qi’s mansion are usually considered to be in the upper middle of all the prince’s mansions, but it’s different with His Royal Highness. With a son who can burn so much money, the Prince of Qi’s mansion is not at the point of sitting and eating. After all, it’s because Liang Home.

Why is the Liang family rich and powerful?With the backing of Prince Qi's Mansion behind him, it was managed bit by bit. Half of the Liang family's property was secretly under the name of Prince Qi, and the daily income was enough to support this prodigal son, His Highness, to burn money for fun. .

Because of this, Liang Xiao always had a three-point flattering attitude towards Li Yuan. In the post house, Kong Yanxi begged Li Yuan so much, but Liang Xiao didn't dare to persuade him too much, precisely because he couldn't afford to offend His Royal Highness.

It's fine if it's just a joke. His Royal Highness is also fond of making trouble, and his temper is not bad, but he can't really make His Royal Highness unhappy. With just a word from Prince Qi, the Liang family's wealth can be exchanged for the Chen family, the Ning family, wherever you want In the head of a family, there are many big families who want to be lackeys of Prince Qi's mansion, so why worry about changing the family?

Liang Xiao wandered around near Yumingfang teahouse, there was indeed a post house, and the guards were all dressed in Shensha ethnic costumes, he wanted to go in and see Yanxi.

Kong Yanxi looked haggard, and was leaning over the desk to look through the family register one by one, while Kong Lanjiao leaned on the side of the bed, opened a knife case, and wiped the pair of mandarin duck knives inside.

Kong Lanjiao wiped one of the short knives, raised his eyebrows and asked his brother: "Brother, you are so worried, you don't think about food and tea, the emperor hasn't ordered what to do with our Kong family, why are you in a hurry?"

Kong Yanxi rubbed his eyebrows: "It will be too late when the emperor makes an order...General Chu Wei is imprisoned, and Li Yuan is forced to go to war again. Our Kong family is alone, and a careless move will bring disaster."

Kong Lanjiao raised his brows slightly: "Yesterday, I killed all the elders in the family who were not strict, and the old people who knew the inside story. I killed my father and relatives. I did it all for my brother."

In order to protect the clan from being slaughtered, it is necessary to eliminate all those who have the right to speak, but cannot withstand torture, and will bring disaster to the family.In order to continue the family blood, Kong Yanxi is really cruel, and his younger brother is the sharpest knife in his hand.

Kong Yanxi's eyes were dull, and his slender fingertips gently stroked the names on the family tree, and then erased them one by one with pen and ink.

"It's not for me, it's for the Shensha clan."

Kong Lanjiao was noncommittal: "You say so."

Kong Yanxi looked back at him: "There is one more person to get rid of."

Kong Lanjiao was wiping the dagger, and suddenly raised his head: "Who? I did it very cleanly, there should be no one left."

Kong Yanxi threw away the wolf hair, and walked over slowly, the Tibetan silver bell on his body jingled softly, leaned over and whispered to Kong Lanjiao, "You."

"Brother!" Kong Lanjiao's eyes suddenly widened. He never thought of resisting Kong Yanxi. For a moment, his own brother pinched the neck vein, and a very thin bamboo tube was inserted into his neck suddenly. Inject into the neck.

Kong Lanjiao's natural strength was higher than that of ordinary people, but this liquid medicine could suppress his strength, making him only comparable to ordinary people's strength.

Kong Lanjiao looked at his petite and gentle brother in disbelief, the energy in his body's meridians drained rapidly, Kong Lanjiao turned over and tried to grab his brother's sleeve, but fell off the edge of the bed and fell to the ground, staring Bloodshot eyes looked at Kong Yanxi.

"Brother...you...want to kill me...?" Kong Lanjiao struggled to get up, climbed to Kong Yanxi's feet with difficulty, grabbed his clothes tightly, and looked up at him, "Brother...even I... I don't believe it...you always hate me for stealing your limelight, don't you?"

Kong Yanxi's slender fingertips trembled slightly, and he looked down at him with trembling eyes: "You can't steal my limelight."

Kong Yanxi knelt down slowly, and grabbed the dagger from Kong Lanjiao's hand with both hands.

"What are you going to do?!" Kong Lanjiao watched as Kong Yanxi picked up the short knife in his hand and thrust it into his lower abdomen.

Kong Yanxi vomited a mouthful of blood, held the wound on his abdomen, opened the door, stumbled and ran out, and asked for help from the guards in the posthouse: "Come here! Kong Lanjiao murdered the head of the family and tried to usurp the position of the head of the house... Come... take him Down!"

Kong Lanjiao was stunned, looking at the bloody marks on the ground, looking at his own blood-stained hands, it was as if he had been hit in the head, making his whole body stiff and unbearable, and his whole body was drenched in cold sweat in an instant.

In the palm of his hand was a Tibetan silver bell that was pulled from the hem of Kong Yanxi's clothes.

Kong Lanjiao's meridians all over his body were suppressed by the liquid pressure of the medicine. This medicine only works on the Shensha tribe, and the medicine is effective enough to last for several months.

Kong Lanjiao was held down by the guards, staring at his dearest and strange brother who had been with him for 12 years.

Kong Yanxi supported the wound on his abdomen, his face was as pale as paper, pointed at Kong Lanjiao with difficulty, and ordered: "Kong Lanjiao...intentionally attempted to assassinate the head of the family...give me death with a stick...from now on, his name will be removed from the family tree! "

The guards did not dare to do anything to the second young master of his family. Kong Yanxi was anxious, and took out the patriarch's token in front of him: "I am the Patriarch of Chensha Kong's family! Who dares to disobey!"

Kong Lanjiao was pushed to the ground and executed in public.

One after another, the killing sticks fell on the back, and the pain was so painful that Kong Lanjiao stared at his brother fiercely, struggling and shouting frantically: "Kong Yanxi! You villain! It's useless to follow you since childhood, and I have no intentions. I never wanted to grab your position as Patriarch, I removed so many stumbling blocks for you just to prevent you from being wronged! You just retaliated against me like this... Ah! Ah! Kong Yanxi!!! I hate you! I will not let you go! "

When Liang Xiao came in, the second young master of the Kong family had been beaten to pieces and was dying. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Kong Yanxi pressed the wound on his abdomen with a medicinal cloth, knelt beside him, and combed his younger brother's hair with bloody hands.

"Yanxi..." Liang Xiao stopped slowly.

Kong Yanxi raised his head, his big eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at Liang Xiao desolately, his dark blue feather clothes were stained dark purple with blood, he looked back sadly with the afterglow of the setting sun on his back and smiled, and slowly fell down.

Liang Xiao was stunned for a long time, picked up Kong Yanxi on his knees, and quickly ran to Yumingfang Teahouse: "Come here, come here! Master Kong is injured, save him!"

Kong Yanxi tightly pulled Liang Xiao's skirt, begging weakly: "Send my brother...to...there...and never come back...cut off the Shensha Clan seal on his body, and never come back..."

Liang Xiao had known Young Master Kong for many years, so he naturally understood what Kong Yanxi was talking about, so he immediately called his cronies in Yumingfang Teahouse to deal with it.

Yumingfang Teahouse is also an information point of Prince Qi Mansion except Xingtang. It is full of eyeliner of Prince Qi Mansion. They are loyal to Prince Qi and His Royal Highness, and will never leak any news.

In just a cup of tea, many aristocrats who were drinking tea and chatting in the teahouse all knew about this matter. The second young master of the Kong family intended to kill his brother, but Kong Yanxi ordered him to kill him in the name of the head of the family, and the family tree was removed.

Some nobles with good deeds sent their servants to visit the posthouse of the Shensha tribe. The smell of blood was extremely strong in the courtyard. The second young master of the Kong family was beaten all over his body, and he was already dead. A few people were packing up the corpse, and hurriedly pinched their noses to report to the master.

Just three months later, the Kong family was ransacked.

Kong Yanxi was taken away by the imperial guards, and was also charged with treason and put in a prison awaiting trial.His younger brother escaped the attention of the court because he had already been executed and removed from the genealogy.

Kong Yanxi made a confession, admitting that he personally killed all the elders of Kong's family and the younger relatives with a stick, but he only pleaded not guilty of treason.

Liang Xiao had already brought Kong Lanjiao back to Yuezhou. In order to avoid suspicion, he ordered people to change Kong Lanjiao's appearance into another face, and handed it over to Shen Biaotou of Jinchi Escort Bureau in Xunzhou to imprison him. Fortunately, Kong Lanjiao's meridians were captured Feng, unable to get out, can only live in the house of Biaotou Shen every day, and Mrs. Shen takes care of him.

Kong Lanjiao was thinking about how to escape every day, and the Jinchi Security Bureau naturally did not dare to neglect the entrustment of Mr. Liang, and locked Kong Lanjiao so that there was no chance of escape.

Kong Lanjiao was in a daze holding the Tibetan silver bell in his hand every day, it was the one torn from the hem of Kong Yanxi's clothes.

He wanted to throw the bell several times, but regretted getting it back several times.

Gradually, Kong Lanjiao gave up.My elder brother doesn't want him anymore, and his family tree has also removed his name, the family seal on his body has been directly gouged out, and the meridians on his body have been sealed and he doesn't know when it will be released, what else can he do?

He has nothing now, only a pair of mandarin duck swords by his side.

On his birthday, Kong Yanxi spent all his savings to find a pair of mandarin duck knives made by the best blacksmith of the Shensha tribe.

It was his own brother who loved him so much, such a weak brother, who pushed him out with his own hands, away from his world.

He hated his brother, and also hated Li Yuan.

Mrs. Shen, who took care of him, had a young son who caught a little golden snake given by his father when he was catching Zhou.

Kong Lanjiao sat next to the little baby and watched him. When Mrs. Shen was going to do the housework, the little baby crawled around, and Kong Lanjiao used his legs to stop him when he got to the edge of the bed.

The little baby was naughty, crawled over and gnawed on Kong Lanjiao's hand with a mouth full of only four teeth, Kong Lanjiao withdrew his slobbering hand, picked him up and taught him a lesson: "Shen Xi, behave yourself."

The little baby giggled and stomped on Kong Lanjiao's face with his soft little feet.

Later, when the baby grew up a bit, the first words he learned were not father and mother, but "Jiaojiao".

Kong Lanjiao had never been so suffocated before.

-

As for the ransacking of the Kong family's home, we have to start talking about it half a month after Li Yuan went to war.

After half a month of marching in Yanjing, the real Hengge was about to start, and Li Yuan understood how hard the marching and fighting were, and also saw the gap between him and Li Mo.

It was midsummer, and the sun was scorching. In the past, wherever His Royal Highness went, there were maids covering umbrellas and fanning Li Yuan with ice. Once on the road, there were no luxurious pillows and mats at night, and no fine pastries for meals. Such a toss.

In half a month, Li Yuan suffered from heatstroke twice. A few days ago, he was able to hold on to his horse and almost fell down a few times. Li Mo walked alongside Li Yuan with his antler bow, and glanced coldly at Li Yuan: " Brother Yuan, don't die on the road and embarrass me. Go and rest on the carriage behind, don't stand in my way here."

Ying Qi quickly supported Li Yuan: "Your Highness, go and rest for a while."

Li Yuan rubbed his hot forehead: "No need."

Although Li Mo is not a fun person, he still wants to tear Li Yuan to pieces. He is not as scheming as Li Yuan, but he can fight and lead the army. In fact, he has taught Li Yuan a lot of things that he couldn't learn at home. .

Ying Qi knew that persuasion was useless. Although His Royal Highness was delicate and suffered a lot during the journey, he never made an exception for himself to rest.

Ying Qi's body can naturally bear these small hardships, but he is worried that His Royal Highness will not be able to sustain it. Marching and fighting, it is one thing to talk about war on paper, but another thing to see the real chapter.

Li Yuan tugged at Li Mo's sleeve: "Hey, tell me, what should you do if you encounter an ambush on this narrow mountain road?"

Li Mo snorted: "Don't you know everything, why are you asking me?"

Li Yuan leaned on the horse's back and looked at him with his chin: "I don't have to be ashamed to ask."

Li Mo gritted his teeth in anger at his cousin, who was so annoying, and held back for a while: "Form two teams, the one near the ambush is responsible for resisting, and the other team rides horses quickly through the mountain road, and then detours to the ambush point to solve the ambush By."

Li Yuan is becoming more and more certain that the person sent to peek at the marching map must not be Li Mo's person, there must be another force dormant in the dark, who will come out at some point to bite the pain, not only must beware of Li Mo, but also Having to beware of unknown enemies, Li Yuan felt that his condition was getting serious again.

There was no water in the water bag, so Ying Qi went to fetch some water from the drinking water cart at the back. With his well-trained eyes, he saw something moving in the grain cart.

He walked over and lifted the straw mat to take a look, his heart tightened, and he was calmly frightened.

Inside squatted the young master Wei Cheng, stepped on the medicine box and leaned on the side of the car, poked his head out and opened his hands toward Yingqi: "I'm coming!"

With a blank expression on his face, Ying Qi put down the straw mat again, and patted Young Master Wei back into the pile of grain and hay.
