I write novels in the East Palace

The hinterland of the Sunset Grassland is very close to the West Capital, only half a day away, but now that Bu Rigude is being pushed around by Zhong Liyue, he can't take care of himself, so naturally he has no time to take care of Zhou Chengyi and the others.

They are resting here, planning to go to Xidu to meet Zhongli Yue who is stationed there after eating, and then return to Ruchuan.

But now, the atmosphere of the crowd is not very good.

Under Zhou Chengyi's guilty expression, Fang Guanyan asked the soldier who spoke just now, "You mean, His Highness' injury was caused by shooting arrows?"

"Yes!" Although the soldier felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, he didn't take it seriously, and happily boasted about Zhou Chengyi's achievements, "Master Fang, you don't even know how brave His Highness is! Just walk three steps in two steps." Come down from the watchtower, stand on the city wall, draw the bow to the full, and with a sound of '咻', directly shoot Buzhigude off the chariot!"

At the point of excitement, he jumped up and danced to imitate Zhou Chengyi's movements, and said regretfully, "However, His Highness said that he originally aimed at the head, which is really a pity."

Fang Guanyan's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, he knew that Zhou Chengyi's hand was injured, although it didn't affect his life, but he basically couldn't do things that used his wrist, and it was so painful that he couldn't even hold a pen.

Zhou Chengyi's character was uncertain and he couldn't make a move. He said that he was aiming at the head, so it must be, but why was it shifted?

He looked at Zhou Chengyi's hand almost subconsciously, and Zhou Chengyi's first reaction was to hide his hand behind his back, with a guilty conscience on his face.

Yizang Zhou Chengyi immediately realized that he felt regretful, and hurried to see Fang Guanyan.

The handsome young man turned his head away, and said in a calm tone, "Sounds really brave."

"That's not ordinary bravery, Your Highness is a god descending from the earth!" Zhou Chengyi winked his eyebrows and made his face cramped, but the soldier who didn't wink at him was still singing his praises loudly, and Zhou Chengyi sent his foot over anxiously, kicking him Stagger.

"Aren't you doing nothing to chat here? Go to the side to check things, and I'm leaving for the capital later." Zhou Chengyi winked at him.

"Check... what?" The soldier rubbed his butt, blinked his eyes while holding half a pancake, and was a little dazed. The passing Habayashi Army soldiers quickly reached out and pulled him away, pretending to be nonchalant while walking. Putting his shoulders on his back, he whispered something in his ear.

The soldier's eyes widened, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou Chengyi and Fang Guanyan, but was forcefully turned back by his colleagues.

"What are you doing? Do you feel that your life is too long and your life is too comfortable? Don't take me with you if you want to die!" The colleague lowered his voice and scolded angrily.

"No, it's not..." The soldier looked shocked, he was dragged forward stiffly, and he stammered, "What you said is true? Your Highness and Mr. Fang are really in agreement... in agreement... "

He "contracted" for a long time, his face flushed red, but he couldn't speak out after all.

"Shh! Keep your voice down!" The colleague hurriedly made a gesture, and then "hehe" laughed twice, "My buddy used to work under the commander of Baili, how can this kind of thing lie to you? Arranging the prince, I don't want it." dead?"

"If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself, but my buddy kindly reminds you, be careful when you speak in the future, and keep your eyes open, so don't talk nonsense in that atmosphere."

The colleague patted the soldier who was stunned by the huge amount of information he had received.

Zhou Chengyi felt the probing gaze behind him, but he didn't have time to pay attention, he was busy observing Fang Guanyan's face.

"Angry?" He asked carefully, moving closer quietly, trying to hug Fang Guanyan.

Fang Guanyan, on the other hand, distanced himself directly, lowered his eyes and ate the cake, his voice could not hear any emotion, "No. Your Highness is so brave, but it's just a hand injury. Anyway, it's not me who hurts every winter."

Zhou Chengyi quickly explained, "It was just an accident, and it was forced by the situation at the time, so I didn't think about it for a while."

Fang Guanyan raised his eyes and looked at him with piercing eyes, "Sure enough, it was a hand injury? Then why didn't you tell me if you didn't take good care of your injury and came here on horseback?"

"I'm worried about you, and I'm also afraid that you're worried." Zhou Chengyi squatted down, pulled his hand in his hand, rubbed his thumb lightly against his palm holding the cloth strip, and said in a low voice, "This injury, don't you hurt me?" Didn't tell me either?"

"I saw it when you were changing the dressing before. It was the scar left by the sword, right? The wound was deep, but not long. It proved that you held the sword blade, and the other party didn't move anymore... You went to convince the queen, take When it comes to the Hundred Years Peace Treaty, it will be the sword of the Knights."

Zhou Chengyi's analysis from the known conditions revealed the truth very smoothly.

"..." Fang Guanyan fell silent.

Zhou Chengyi clasped his hands together, bowed his head and offered a kiss without any desire on the cloth in his palm, his eyes were full of distress, "I was frightened in a foreign country, and when I heard the news of the Battle of Ruchuan, I still had to endure those emotions, bring Is it exhausting physically and mentally to strive for more benefits rationally?"

"Ayan, you've worked hard, you've done a good job, I'm proud of you." He whispered reverently, and kissed his palm again.

Fang Guanyan twisted his wrist lightly, and Zhou Chengyi also let go of his hand. When he touched his face, he tilted his head slightly and rubbed it.

"Ayi, you are the one who protected Ru Chuan, thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Chengyi twitched the corner of his mouth, "No, I just shot that arrow and didn't use much energy. The ones who really protected Ruchuan were the soldiers who defended the city and refused to surrender at that time. Stay on the borderline."

"The names of the [-] soldiers and common people will be engraved forever on the martyr's tablet made of bluestone, and will be remembered by history and future generations."

The two rested together for a while, no one spoke, but the atmosphere was so warm that passers-by couldn't bear to disturb them.

Yu Xiao came to Fang Guanyan to talk about the Hundred Years Peace Treaty, but when he took a closer look, he paused for a moment, then retreated silently, returning the same way, and couldn't help but his thoughts wandering as he walked: Your Highness and Senior Brother ...?

The envoys were resting near the water source. They had been imprisoned in Shaman for so long. Only Fang Guanyan was taken down to take a bath and change clothes because he wanted to see the queen. Fortunately, Shaman is located at the northernmost point, and it is not too hot even in July, otherwise it would be rotten.

It was hard work to get back home, and I was in a hurry to travel overnight, far away from the border, and finally I was able to rest.When they saw the water, they couldn't help it. They didn't even eat food and didn't care about etiquette. They took off their clothes and went into the water.

Washed up well, and I have time to think about the business, but I heard that Fang Guanyan and His Royal Highness were talking, after much deliberation, I finally chose to guess the boxing game, and decided to find some unlucky ghosts.

This unlucky ghost is Yu Xiao.

In the end, the unlucky Yu Xiao came back alone, his expression was thoughtful, and he didn't know what he was thinking, everyone looked behind him, but they didn't see anyone, and asked strangely, "Why are you alone? What about senior brother?"

"His Royal Highness is talking about business with Senior Brother. I will ask questions on the way later, so don't waste time." Yu Xiao quickly suppressed those rebellious thoughts in his heart, and just opened his mouth to talk nonsense.

"So, I understand." Without any doubt, the envoys called Yu Xiao over for dinner.

When the setting sun was like blood, everyone entered the Western Capital, and as soon as they entered, they smelled a strong and uncomfortable smell of blood. Some soldiers were cleaning a field, and the clear water immediately turned into blood.

At that time, they only thought they were dealing with captives, and they didn’t know about the "Plowing Project" until later. Some people thought it was too cruel, and some people thought it was very gratifying, but Zhou Chengyi only asked about it, "There is a monument to martyrs in Ruchuan City. Maybe you can Ask them."

The martyr's monument, as the name suggests, the envoys immediately understood what it was, and they all fell silent.

But these are things that will happen later, Zhou Chengyi entered Beihu Palace, but only saw Shen Ping.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince." Shen Ping had received the news early in the morning, so she was not surprised to see them, and even smiled.

Zhou Chengyi didn't know why, but always felt that this smile had an inexplicable... kindness?Anyway, it made him feel uncomfortable all over, and he couldn't help the goosebumps, so he quickly turned his eyes and asked, "Where's uncle?"

"Marshal led a team to chase after Burigude." Shen Ping replied.

Zhou Chengyi was a little surprised, "Have you caught him yet?" Logically speaking, with Zhong Liyue's ability, it shouldn't have been so long, but Bu Rigude's ability to escape is so good?

However, Shen Ping showed a cunning smile, "Marshal ordered people to blockade the north and drive people to the west."

West Line?Zhou Chengyi thought of something, his eyes lit up suddenly, "Uncle is going to drive people to the Western Regions?"

"If they dare to turn their backs, they will naturally have to pay a price." Shen Ping paused, and then said, "Not to mention anything else, the Western Regions are rich in rare treasures, and there are a lot of coal mines and iron mines. The Marshal means I want the cities in Lianshan."

Although the Western Regions are also dominated by grasslands, they are much richer than Beihu. There are many merchants in the country. That is because they have a lot of minerals. The silver charcoal that Xiao Guo imports from them every year is unknown. How many.

Not to mention the iron ore, the three main armies of Xiao Guo Yulin Army, Apocalypse Army, and Chain Armor Army have a total of millions of soldiers. The guards escorted by the army are all the best refined iron armor and weapons, and the price of one piece is enough to fight four or five pieces of ordinary armor.

The Apocalypse Army is a little bit struggling, but the annual military reserve mines are also in the tens of tons.

Shen Ping smiled peacefully, but her words were quite domineering, "They are sensible, so they will naturally try to survive. If they are not sensible, then it is not impossible to accept the whole Western Region with a smile."

"Very good." Zhou Chengyi gave a thumbs up appreciatively, "If a dog bites a person, it should knock out its teeth and break its legs so that it doesn't dare to stretch out its claws again."

Xidu was discussing tactics, and the atmosphere in the Chang'an Qianyuan Palace was a little stagnant.

"Your Majesty, please rest well and don't overwork." The imperial physician withdrew his pulse-detecting hand, and winked at Wang He when he got up.

"Just talk here if you have something to say, there is nothing I can't listen to." The emperor suddenly coughed heart-piercingly, and blood gushed out of his mouth, spraying all on the quilt, even Zhou Chengyu who was beside him who was giving him comfort The gown was stained.

Zhou Chengyu was really worried, his eyes were all red, "Father..."

"I'm fine." The emperor patted her head reassuringly, took the handkerchief in Wang He's hand and wiped off the blood on his lips, his hands were trembling uncontrollably, his expression was quite tired.

The imperial physician knelt down silently, not daring to speak.

The emperor furrowed his brows hard, and the bloody smell rose in his throat as soon as he got emotional. He coughed again, and this time he suppressed it with a handkerchief, but the blood gushing out couldn't be stopped at all, not only staining the whole handkerchief red, but also dripping The answer fell down.

"Forget it, I know my body well." He waved his hand annoyed.

Just at this moment, outside wished Chunfu to report, "Your Majesty, Second Young Master Pei is back!"

"Ahem—please!" The emperor sat up excitedly.

Pei Yi strode into the Qianyuan Palace. He was travel-stained, and his dirty clothes hadn't been taken off yet. With a stench, he knelt on the ground, presented the jade box in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Pei Sheng also triumphantly returned." !"

"Cough cough cough good! Good!" The emperor settled down to the important matter on his mind and laughed loudly. Blood kept pouring out of his mouth. He lay powerlessly on the bed, and his eyes began to slack.

"Your Majesty!" Wang He and the imperial physician were startled, and hurried forward.

The emperor's lips opened and closed feebly, and Wang He heard clearly when he got closer, "Feng, Marquis Zhonglie..."

When Zhou Cheng'an received the news that the emperor had vomited blood and was in a coma, a large group of people were already kneeling outside the Qianyuan Palace. He saw the expressions on the faces of the ministers, his eyes flashed, and then turned into a mournful look, pretending cried, "Father!"

Zhou Chengyu was wiping his tears with his cuff, when he heard the words, he glared at him fiercely, and his lowered voice was not so milky, it was especially fierce, "Why are you howling, the emperor is still here, so you can't wait?"

Zhou Chengan was suddenly stunned, looked at her with a heart attack, and thought viciously in his heart: When he takes over, he must make this lifeless green girl look good!

On the face, he said, "If I care about it, it will cause chaos. At such a time, you don't have to slander me!"

What did Zhou Chengyu want to say, Zhou Chengyao pulled her back, looked at Zhou Chengan with a cold look, it was rare to use his elder brother's identity to overwhelm her, "Fifth, shut your mouth, it's not your turn to speak here for the time being."

Zhou Chengan choked so hard that he finally shut his mouth resentfully considering that the ministers were also present.

The emperor has been ill for too long, and this time there will be no luck after all.

Hearing a sudden burst of crying in Qianyuan Palace, everyone raised their heads abruptly. It took Wang He a long while to come out sadly, but he asked someone to bring a stool, and then took out an imperial decree from behind the plaque in Qianyuan Palace.

Everyone knew that this imperial decree decided who the next emperor of the Xiao Kingdom would be, and they all thought that this candidate would be Zhou Chengyi.

But listened to Wang He's decree: make Lvwu princess Zhou Chengyu the emperor's dowager, choose a date to ascend the throne, abolish Zhou Chengyi's position as prince Rui, and make Fang Yunyu, Yu Zhongling, Jiang Shangshu, etc. as ministers of Gu Ming to assist the new emperor , and the fifth prince, Zhou Cheng'an, granted the fief of Yanzhou and left Beijing today!

Such an imperial decree directly stunned everyone, and Jiang Shangshu and other Gu Ming ministers all looked at a loss.

"This is impossible!" Zhou Chengan couldn't control the expression on his face anymore, he stood up abruptly, and pointed at Wang He angrily, "Eunuch, how dare you falsely preach the imperial decree?!"

bass--

Someone in the Yulin army moved in response, and the blade pointed at Wang He.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Chengyi received an urgent report from Beijing, and Zhou Chengan turned against him!
