Chongxi [rebirth]

Li Zong understood his words, his face darkened, and then he pointed to the two wild animals in the cage and laughed: "King Yong'an may not get the white tiger skin, look, the wolf king is about to lose."

In the giant cage, the wolf king was slapped to the ground by the white tiger's paw, and the white tiger's neck was already pinned down by the white tiger.As long as the white tiger lowers its head, it can bite off its neck.

It's as if the end has already been decided.

Looking at this scene, Li Zong kept smiling, and said like a sigh: "King Yong'an sometimes misses it."

Li Fengqi was not surprised by the situation in the cage, and sat in the wheelchair calmly.

"Naturally, I sometimes misread." He raised his eyes to look at Li Zong, his eyes were cold: "But it should not be this time, but should be on His Majesty."

He turned the wheelchair and approached Li Zong, with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "Aside from the game of gambling, doesn't Your Majesty have anything else to say to me?"

Li Zong's eyes flashed, and he turned around with his hands behind his back: "King Yong'an wants to hear what I have to say?" He looked up into the distance, his expression unclear: "There are only a few things in my hand, and I don't want to let any of them out. .”

"In the past years, I have given up enough and endured enough." He turned around quickly, looked at Li Fengqi and said every word.

He is the second son of Emperor Xianzong, and his mother is the queen of Yiguo.Besides the big brother, he should be the most honorable.

But actually?

When the father was still the crown prince, he was greedy for beauty, and there were many beauties in the East Palace.Although his mother had the name of a princess, she was not favored by her father, and the power in the harem fell into the hands of others.Fortunately, although she is not favored, she has a good son who is favored.

The father and the emperor have few heirs, except for their brothers, there is only one son and two daughters.Among the four children, his favorite is his eldest brother, who was appointed as the emperor's grandson early on, and he was brought up by his side since childhood.But on the contrary, he was indifferent to the other children, and even connived the palace people to suppress them on purpose, deliberately turning them into waste.

One of his older brothers, two older sisters, and even himself, have lived under the oppression and bullying of palace people since childhood, living submissively and extremely useless.He still remembers to this day that he watched his second brother jump off the Drum Tower with his own eyes.

That year he was seven years old, he was going out of the palace to look for Li Fengqi, but when he turned his head, he saw his second elder brother jumping down from the high drum tower.

The second brother is only one year younger than the eldest brother, and his biological mother is a beauty without status. What he remembers most about him is his flushed face, smell of alcohol, and a handful of melted, sticky jelly beans.

——One winter day, he ran into his second brother who was drunk and sleeping in the flowers.He stepped forward to wake him up, and asked the palace servants to help him back.Before the second brother left, he took out a pack of jelly beans from his sleeve and gave it to him, and said to him, "Second brother doesn't have anything good. This is my favorite jelly bean. If you feel bitter, just eat one." , don’t imitate your second brother’s alcoholism.”After speaking, he staggered away.

He was young at that time, and he didn't understand the meaning of his words, but he just looked at his back and felt that he was like a crumbling white bird.

Then he really saw the second brother fly down from the Drum Tower with his own eyes.

Barefoot in white clothes, the sleeves of the robe bulged by the strong wind, like a bird whose body is smashed to pieces and wants to run to freedom.

Li Zong watched him fall with his own eyes, the bright red blood stained the red and white clothes, even a few drops splashed on his face, sticky and warm.

On that day, he did not leave the palace to look for Li Fengqi at the end.

The second brother jumped to his death from the Drum Tower. This was a royal scandal. The emperor was furious and ordered the palace staff to block the news. At the same time, the palace staff who served the second brother were thoroughly investigated, and those dirty things that were intentionally covered up were also revealed.Grandpa Huang called his father to give him a severe reprimand, and killed and sent away those palace people who had been killed in the past.

After the death of the second brother, the situation of him and the remaining two sisters improved instead.

The medical officer said that he was frightened and needed to recuperate, so he moved to a better courtyard. The emperor's grandfather even visited him two or three times in the East Palace. Yes, he thought he could have such a happy life in the future.But within a month, everything changed.

The eldest brother looked at him with disgust in his eyes, saying that he wanted something he shouldn't have; his father beat and reprimanded him repeatedly, telling him not to have other thoughts; even his mother was resentful, saying that he shouldn't argue with his elder brother It would have been more peaceful if I had known that he hadn't been born.

His food and clothing are still the best, and the palace people still treat him respectfully, but they will pinch him, curse him, and even prick him with needles, and threaten him not to sue the emperor. Because this is what his mother ordered, and it is his punishment.

Frightened and dazed, he finally found an opportunity to go out of the palace to look for Li Fengqi, only to learn that Li Fengqi was going to join the army in northern Xinjiang.He cried and begged Li Fengqi not to abandon him, but Li Fengqi said that he would write to him often in the future, and when he became a general, he would come back to pick him up.

He didn't understand, he just felt that he was back to the day when he watched his second brother jump the drum tower with his own eyes, feeling helpless and frightened, like falling into an ice cave.

Later, the teacher told him that the royal family is different from ordinary people. If you want to live well, you have to fight and grab.You can't rely on others, you can only rely on yourself.

He kept this sentence in his heart and practiced it personally.

Later, the eldest brother died and the body was transported back to the palace. Seeing his father's expression of mourning, madness and fear, he only felt happy in his heart.

Since then, he has known that weakness is the most useless emotion, and he has to grab what he wants by himself.

No matter who the opponent is, he will never back down.

The same is true for Li Fengqi.

Li Zong stared at him closely, but saw that Li Fengqi didn't have much expression on his face.

He is always like this, aloof, looking down on everything, as if everything is under his control.

Li Zong didn't like this feeling very much, it always reminded him of his elder brother who died for a long time.He laughed suddenly: "Forget it, I don't need to tell you these things now." After he went to Northern Xinjiang, the relationship between the two of them was not as pure as before. Although they looked close, they stopped talking about many things.

Time and distance separated too much.

He has long since ceased to be that ignorant toddler seeking asylum.

Li Fengqi had a panoramic view of his changing face, but instead of arguing with him, he pointed to the cage and said, "The wolf king has won."

Li Zong turned his head suddenly, and saw that the situation in the cage had changed at some point. The wolf king who was on the verge of death counterattacked desperately and bit off the white tiger's throat.

The white tiger is huge. Although its throat was bitten, it still struggled violently and tried to resist. However, the wolf king charged a blow, but he did not let go. Finally, the white tiger's struggle gradually weakened, and its tall body fell down. Going down, the limbs twitched, and blood gushed out one after another.But the wolf king still didn't let go, until the white tiger was completely limp and could no longer move, then he let go, struggled to stand up on all fours, and couldn't wait to lick the blood overflowing from the white tiger's throat.

Li Zongding looked at the dead white tiger, his expression changing.Subconsciously, he wanted to ask his servant to drive away the wolf king, but he just raised his hand, but put it down again, and said with a smile on his lips: "I would like to accept the bet. Since the wolf king has won, the tiger skin belongs to King Yong'an."

Li Fengqi nodded lightly, turned his head and said to Ye Yunting behind him: "This white tiger is well-raised, and its fur is the best. When it is brought back to be tanned, it will be laid out in your study as a cushion."

Ye Yunting glanced at Li Zong, who was smiling slightly, and nodded in agreement.

"The lord is considerate to the concubine, it seems that this marriage is the right thing for me." Li Zong said eccentrically.

Li Fengqi nodded calmly: "Your Majesty has done thousands of wrong things, but this one is absolutely right."

His attitude is frank and natural, and his thanks are also sincere.But in Li Zong's eyes, he was deliberately mocking himself.He put his hands behind his back again, watched the palace servants open the cage and drag the white tiger's body out, and said coldly: "Of course I am not as good as King Yong'an's young general in strategizing. But I still sit on the throne. The front, the minister and the queen. This time it’s all over, King Yong’an must be careful in the future.”

Li Fengqi sneered slightly, with a contemptuous expression: "The king and his ministers are just guarded by fools. If a father is not kind, he will not be respected; if the king is not benevolent... he will not be a minister."

Li Zong was stunned for a moment, and then showed such an expression, and sneered, "Does King Yong'an want to rebel?" He took a few steps quickly, pulled out the saber from his attendant's waist, and said grimly: "Don't think that I really dare not kill you! "

"You can try." Li Fengqi patted his legs and said calmly: "Even if I let you have a pair of legs, you are not my opponent."

What's more, there are [-] Xuanjia troops in the northern border. As long as Li Zong dares to make a move, Li Fengqi has thousands of ways to make him unstable.

It's not that he can't, he just doesn't want to.

If Li Zong kills him, he will ask him to pay the price, but the price does not include rebellion.He wasn't afraid of being famous, but he just couldn't bear to see Bei Zhao caught in the flames of war.The tranquility of Beizhao was maintained day after day by the border guards led by him, and he did not want to destroy this tranquility with his own hands.

The premise is that Li Zong doesn't bully others too much.

Li Zong held the knife, his chest heaved and his eyes were red.After a long time, he slumped down the knife and looked at Li Fengqi gloomyly: "I should have killed you directly in the first place. To prevent future troubles!"

"But you didn't." Li Fengqi looked clear: "Let me guess, are you thinking about the meager brotherhood between us, or is Han Chan not allowing it?"

Li Zong stared at him, his jaw was clenched, and he didn't speak.

"You still listen to Han Chan." Li Fengqi sighed and gave the answer: "How sincere do you think he is to you?" He looked sympathetically: "Don't you know that during my illness, he once Have you been looking for me twice?"

"What if you know?"

"No, it's just that he came to me twice, using the antidote as a bargaining chip, and asked me to cooperate with him to conspire for great things. After the matter is completed..." Li Fengqi looked at his trembling pupils, and continued to finish. : "I am the king, he is the prime minister."

"Why did I get poisoned by such a coincidence, don't you have any doubts in your heart?"

Li Zong gritted his teeth, and his voice came out from between his teeth: "If he wants to be the prime minister, I can give it to him. Why should I cooperate with you? Do you think I will believe it?"

"I'm telling the truth, you know it in your heart. It's just that you don't want to believe it." Seeing that Li Zong was still deceiving himself, Li Fengqi waved his hands a little bored and said, "Did Your Majesty call us into the palace today to make up for the reward? Good morning, we've finished talking, and it's time for us to receive the reward and leave the palace."

He turned a blind eye to Li Zong's terrifying expression and was still urging for a reward.

Li Zong looked at him gloomyly for a few breaths, but finally closed his eyes and called Cui Xi to come in: "Bring up the reward and send King Yong'an out of the palace."

Li Fengqi's eyes showed satisfaction, and his tone became more polite: "Thank you Your Majesty, Your Majesty must take care of the dragon's body."

Li Zong didn't answer, approached the giant cage, glanced at the white tiger's body, and said, "Peel off the white tiger's skin and send it to King Yong'an." After speaking, he looked at the dying wolf king in the cage, and said gloomyly: With this wolf king, he also skinned it and gave it to King Yongan."

After speaking, he seemed to be unable to restrain himself any longer, and flung his sleeves and walked away quickly.
