If you ask Lu Suifeng what he wants to get by threatening Li Ying at this moment, it must be the thing he needs most in his hands when he can't cover the sky with one hand - military power.

Although he is the commander of the Chiya Guard, he can only govern the thousands of city guards. It is impossible to cover the sky with one hand in the capital, not to mention that the guards in the palace city are all trained by Emperor Yuan alone. One is willing to obey him, if he can't control this part of the forces, when the new master enters Miyagi, it will be another bloodbath.

Li Ying had seen through his mind early in the morning, knowing that he would definitely come to get the thing he dreamed of, so he kept it on him cautiously.

He was beaten just now, and he was beaten. As a smart man, Xiang Ye didn't want to suffer from that flesh and blood again, so he had no choice but to obediently hand over his things.

Li Ying pushed away Lu Suifeng, who was almost pressing on him, and slowly put his hand into the neckline, rummaging for something in his bosom, and finally handed it to the other party, which was half a gold-plated crouching tiger.

"Before I gave General Lu half of the Tiger Talisman to dispatch the Chiya Guards to save Junziyou who fell into Si Ye's hands. I didn't seem to reveal that the other half was also in my hands. How did General Lu know that the thing was in my hands? What's in your hand?"

"It's not hard to guess, is it? Emperor Yuan gave you half of the tiger talisman that once belonged to Zhang Hongyi to express his apology to you and his sincerity to invite you back to court. As for the other half, it has been held in the hands of the emperor throughout the ages. It is impossible for a person like him who treasured the throne to hand over to others. After he died, his two sons were useless, and the only one who could take charge of the overall situation was King Jin. With his loyal and patriotic temperament, he definitely refused to become a thief , I have to find a way to hand over the military power to show my innocence, so in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the person who is most worthy of his trust is you, Xiangye."

Lu Suifeng played with the Tiger Talisman that still had Li Ying's body temperature on it, weighed it in his hand, and when he was sure it was correct, he took out the half that Li Ying had handed to him earlier from his sleeve, accompanied by a sweet and ethereal sound, Combine it into one.

This thing is in his hands at the moment, which symbolizes his absolute right to dispatch the Chiya Guards, the Ouchi Guards, and even all the soldiers of Da Yuan.

Satisfied, Lu Suifeng stood up, condescendingly looked down at Li Ying, who was stained with blood and looked rather downcast, pointed in the direction of the mourning hall, and said with a smile: "Master, please?"

Li Ying asked knowingly, "You mean..."

"Naturally, you are required to make clear your position in front of civil and military officials. It is better to be happy alone than to be happy with others. You have become the elder of the new dynasty. You must give others a chance."

"I don't understand what you're saying..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Ying was pulled up from the wheelchair by Lu Suifeng's collar. The severe pain in his legs caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead. His eyes were so dark that he passed out.

"Say it again? Mr. Xiang, I'm afraid your two legs have been sitting on this thing for more than three years, right? If your old injury has not healed and you are suffering from serious illness, you should be physically weak, your legs are thin and weak, and your legs are sometimes swollen. , but it is absolutely impossible for the muscles to be fully elastic... These days, Mr. Xiang, you have suffered a lot for your recovery, right?"

Li Ying didn't answer, his face became paler, cold sweat rolled down his face, he didn't know if it was from the pain, or he lost his mind because of Lu Suifeng's words.

The latter lifted him up for a while, as if he felt that it was really difficult for him to stand on his own with his injured leg, but he didn't make things difficult for him, and pushed him lightly, and let him fall back into the wheelchair, gasping for breath. Soothes physical and mental discomfort.

"Forget it, I'm not forcing you to do something. You just need to keep your mouth shut and stop talking nonsense in front of others. Since you are determined to serve the new dynasty, can you do such a small thing? You can listen Well, maybe you can indeed prevent me from leaving Miyagi, but before I die, you will definitely receive the punishment you deserve, if you still want to live, don't think that you can get away with it."

He pinched Li Ying's neck, forcing the latter to swallow the words he was about to blurt out, then pointed to the mourning hall where sobs could be faintly heard, and whispered in that person's ear: "Go, prove your loyalty to me. "

"... With this blood stain on my body, how can I explain it to make people believe that I wasn't injured by you?"

"It's simple, just say that I got injured all over to save you, not only will others not doubt it, but they will even be moved by my sacrifice to save you, isn't it good?"

"Okay, great...Lu Suifeng, I really didn't realize that you are such a pious bastard before. I am very curious, why did you, who was loyal to the late emperor and devoted yourself to Lord Lin Xici, fall to this point?"

Lu Suifeng asked: "Master, it's not right for you to scold people like this. Aren't we on the same path? Or is the act of surrender just now an illusion of yours?"

"...Not necessarily, it's still the same sentence, who wants to die if they can live? I will work for whoever gives me a way to live, it's as simple as that."

Lu Suifeng never expected Li Ying to turn to him sincerely, all he wanted was for Li Ying to set an example among the officials, so that no matter how many fools he had, he would fall to his side, and he would save a lot of effort in lobbying.

As Li Ying said, they are using each other. After the value of each other is exhausted, it is a matter of opinion who kills each other first. At least before that, they don't have to tear their faces.

Thinking of this, Lu Suifeng treated Li Ying more respectfully, pushed the wheelchair around White Wolf, and pushed him back to the mourning hall.

On the way, he also symbolically scratched a thin mark on the back of Li Ying's neck with his nails. No trauma was left, and no blood was seen. The slightly itchy pain also acted as a deterrent, causing Li Ying to shrink back in fright. neck.

"How to speak later, shouldn't I need to teach Xiangye word by word? You can choose your words carefully, and don't force me to be a villain who hurts people."

Li Yingmao became stubborn, gritted his teeth and didn't answer, feeling that the other party was pinching his neck harder, so he nodded to express that he would not change midway.

"I have to say, Mr. Xiang, you are so pleasing. If you were a woman, even if you used some dirty tricks, I would take you as my own. It's a pity... Tsk."

"With all due respect, I am still very glad that I escaped. Thank you General Lu for your kindness."

While talking, the two had already arrived at the mourning hall and knelt for a long time, the Xiao brothers could not stand it long ago, their knees were probably bruised, and now they were so numb that they couldn't kneel anymore.

Concubine Yu is eager to love her son, and from time to time she will pinch her son's numb legs. In comparison, Xiao Junhan, who has no father or mother's love, looks much more pitiful, because people are all trying to curry favor with the noble master of the Eastern Palace. Even the palace people with good deeds will not gather around her, which shows that her status has plummeted.

It's a pity that what I did by myself does not deserve sympathy.

When Li Ying was pushed to the front by Lu Suifeng, the two princes heaved a sigh of relief. Previously, the prime minister took over the responsibility of Shang Shuan from the Ministry of Rites and presided over the funeral of the Empress Dowager. The princes all regarded him as a savior, eager to get out of this oppressive environment.

"It's getting late, the two princes, let's go back to the palace to rest first, and then it's enough for the humble minister to keep guard here."

Xiao Junze and Xiao Junhan didn't care about etiquette, and stood up after hearing this, but the latter's legs hurt so much that he almost fell to the ground, and Xiao Junze, who finally stood still, was pulled by his mother again before he could lift his legs return.

Concubine Yu is very cautious, at such a sensitive time, even the slightest abnormality will arouse her vigilance, she pulled her son, refused to let Xiao Junze get up, and asked cautiously: "Master Xiang, the time has not yet come, but what happened? ?”

The women have stayed in the harem for a long time, and all of them have become human beings. Li Ying knew that being perfunctory at this time would only increase her suspicions. Rather than causing trouble, it would be better to completely dispel her doubts, so she answered frankly: "Yes. , so I ask Concubine Yu to bring the two princes back to the palace quickly, and there must be no trouble."

Concubine Yu, who realized that the rain was about to come, was not stupid. She got up and saluted, and pulled Xiao Junze to turn around and leave. At this moment, Li Ying stopped her again: "Wait a minute, ma'am, you still forgot about him."

Everyone was dumbfounded. They never expected that Li Ying would push Xiao Junhan over, "From today on, Concubine Yu will have two sons under her knees. I hope that the two princes will love each other, support each other, and be successful... ... the hope of the monarch and his ministers."

He said this sadly, as if he was confessing his last words, so Xiao Junhan, who had always been rebellious, didn't resist, and hurriedly followed Concubine Yu, leaving the land of right and wrong.

Li Ying turned the wheelchair, walked out of the mourning hall slowly, faced the kneeling courtiers all over the floor, let out a long sigh, and finally stopped in front of a gray-bearded elder.

"Master Hou," he said, "these days, you are ten years older, and your body looks much worse than before."

"Is there?" Qin Zhiyu chuckled, "A person is old and still has integrity, so he will not sell his soul for things outside his body, but Mr. Xiang, don't worry, the old man's stomach is not small enough to insinuate, you You're still young, it's human nature not to want to die, the old man won't blame you."

Qin Zhiyu said this, but he didn't intend to let go of Li Ying's hand. The latter quietly looked back at Lu Suifeng, who was staring at him, sighed, and patted Qin Zhiyu's hand while holding him. the back of the hand.

"But Marquis, Dayuan's energy is exhausted, your perseverance may not be meaningful, why not... hand over the military power in your hands, right?"

After waiting for a while, it sounded like he finally got to the point. Lu Suifeng came forward, rubbed the arm bitten by the white wolf, leaned down to lean on Li Ying's side, embraced his thin shoulders, and smiled at Qin Zhiyu. : "Master Hou, our Chiya Guards have turned against each other, and you Qin's army should stop being obsessed with obsession. Li Xiang said well that those who know the current affairs are heroes. Is the mess left by Xiao Jingyuan worthy of your desperate protection? I respect you for your martial arts!" Senior, if I still want to work with you in the future, I will kindly advise you, please don't..."

"Don't worry, you don't know how to flatter?"

Seeing "Qin Zhiyu" standing up slowly, and transferring his hand from Li Ying's wrist to Lu Suifeng's shoulder, the latter realized something was wrong but it was too late, the other party's force on his wound was not in vain, and the wound was torn apart on the spot. His wound forced him to scream.

"You, you are..."

"Qin Zhiyu" grinned, the overly exaggerated expression touched the skin on his face - it was a delicate mask.
