The hand on his waist moved around, disgusted to the core, Lu Yuanzhi freed his hand calmly, picked up the dagger placed by the man beside him, and stabbed it quickly before the man with the lantern saw it and was about to stop it.

The butcher whimpered and prepared to get up with a grim expression. Lu Yuanzhi pulled out the knife, quickly got up and took a few steps back, ignoring the baggage that fell on the ground, and looked at them blankly, holding the knife handle tightly with both hands. .

"Boss!" The thin man supported the butcher, and asked eagerly, "Are you all right?"

"kill him."

The butcher staggered, probably because he had been stabbed in the vitals, gasping for breath, his eyes widened, and he stared fiercely at Lu Yuanzhi. After he finished speaking, he lost consciousness. The thin man couldn't support him, and watched him lie on the ground. .

The oil lamp in the thin man's hand fell, and it shone on the butcher's body. It could be clearly seen that the butcher's eyes were not closed, and he was staring at Lu Yuanzhi's direction.

Lu Yuanzhi's mind was buzzing, and his thoughts were confused.His body, which hadn't recovered, became more and more weak at this time, and he sat slumped on the ground, the hot eyes couldn't stop falling, and he choked silently, he was really desperate.

Even if there is a little hope, a glimmer of light, Lu Yuanzhi will not be as overwhelmed as he is now.

If you survived today, what about tomorrow?

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the angry man in front of him but didn't dare to approach him, threw the knife in his hand to his feet, lowered his head and said sullenly: "Take the knife and kill me."

After speaking, Lu Yuanzhi closed his eyes, quietly waiting for death.

In fact, he never thought that his life would end in this way. He remembered that the director of the orphanage said that the night when he was found was very cold, and he was thrown in a remote field, and she passed by there to buy vegetables. When I found out, I was only wrapped in a very thin quilt, and my whole body was bruised from the cold, and I had already passed out.

At that time, she thought that the child would not survive, but unexpectedly, after drinking a bottle of hot milk, Lu Yuanzhi carried it back abruptly.

In such a remote place, few people pass by, and those who abandon themselves don't want to let themselves live, Lu Yuanzhi sniffs, can't he be considered a villain?Why do these sufferings refuse to let themselves go?

The thin man picked up the knife, gritted his teeth and stabbed at Lu Yuanzhi. Lu Yuanzhi could hear the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer to him, buried his head deeply, trembling all over, no one could shake off the fear of death.

Suddenly there was a muffled groan, the footsteps stopped, and there was a louder falling sound.

Lu Yuanzhi raised his head slowly, checked with red eyes, and saw that the man was lying on the ground, dead, maybe really dead.

"Who?" Lu Yuanzhi turned his head, a figure came from a distance, the light was not enough, he couldn't see the specific appearance clearly.

But here, how could anyone help him?Lu Yuanzhi was so weak that he couldn't get up, and before the man approached, he fainted.

"Your Majesty, there is a military report that General Zihe won a surprise attack on Zhuyue's frontline barracks yesterday, and captured the leader of Zhuyue alive. How should I ask for instructions?" the guard knelt on the court and said impassionedly.

Jiang Yi's face was serious, and seeing someone else standing where Lu Yuanzhi was supposed to be standing, he became more and more irritable: "Go and repay, this time is merciless, don't be soft-hearted, kill him to pay homage to the souls who died under their sword. "

"Yes." The guard hurried away.

"Is there anything else for everyone?" Lu Yuanzhi said indifferently, leaning on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, although the traitors and thieves have been eliminated this time, the vitality of the court has also been seriously injured, and the vacant official positions need to be filled urgently. I have drawn up a list, and I invite the emperor to look at it."

Xu Ge handed over the list with both hands, and Jiang Yi waved his hands: "You arrange it, I trust you."

Elder Xu Ge nodded: "Your Majesty obeys the order, and there is a vacancy for the Prime Minister, please Your Majesty choose the right person."

Hearing the word "Prime Minister", Jiang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, straightened his body and sat down, glanced under the court, and then secretly displeased again: "Then it will be the same as before, and Aiqing will temporarily act as the prime minister until the time is right. The person, I will be promoted."

"My minister obeys the order." Elder Xu Ge stepped back and stood up.

"Let's retreat."

Jiang Yi got up and left the court quickly, only the servant behind him trotted to keep up with him.

As soon as he entered Rongle Palace, the guard came over in a hurry: "Your Majesty, this is a letter from the General's Mansion today. It is said that it was left by Mr. Bai before he left, and it will be presented to you when the prime minister... When something happens to Lu Yuanzhi."

Jiang Yi took the letter and looked back and forth at the envelope expressionlessly: "I see."

Something about Lu Yuanzhi?Jiang Yi returned to the inner hall with the letter, and dismissed the palace servants in annoyance, sitting on the stool for a while, not knowing whether to read it or not.

Lu Yuanzhi?The last time I saw him, I could still see his face vividly.

The scenery under the half-faded clothes, as well as the frightened and panicked look are so clear.

Jiang Yi was hot all over, and he had thoughts that he shouldn't have. He opened the letter, took a deep breath and read it.

This is written by Bai Shuci, or in other words, it is a supplementary letter written by Bai Shuci.

Jiang Yi's complexion became more and more gloomy, and he tightened his hand holding the letter paper, with a ruthless resentment all over his body, he read the letter from beginning to end, refolded it and stuffed it back into the envelope.

"Your Majesty!" Su Zhishan said outside the hall, "I come here to deliver the decoction."

Jiang Yi put the letter in his sleeve, his complexion gradually improved: "Come in."

Su Zhishan came from outside the door, holding a tray with both hands, and on it was a white ice enamel medicine bowl, which contained half a bowl of jet-black hemp lacquer medicine juice.

"Your Majesty, I see that Your Majesty's complexion is not good these days. It should be that the last time he dispelled the poison and broke his body, so he specially boiled some soup to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vitality."

As Su Zhishan said, he put the tray on the table beside Jiang Yi. Seeing that Jiang Yi was still wearing a dragon robe, he asked casually, "Your Majesty just came down to court? You should pay attention to the dragon's body, don't be too tired."

Jiang Yi held the medicine bowl to his lips and was about to drink it, but suddenly stopped, and put the bowl back on the table.

"What's wrong?" Su Zhishan noticed his behavior and asked.

Jiang Yi smiled at him and said: "It was hot just now, drink it cold, the national teacher will retreat, I will change my clothes."

"Observe the order." Su Zhishan didn't doubt anything, turned around and left the door.

Jiang Yi's face collapsed in an instant, and he put his fingertips on the edge of the soup bowl and groped for a moment, unable to distinguish between emotions and anger.

After a long time, he shouted outside the hall: "Zhang Ming, come in."

Manager Zhang didn't dare to delay the slightest thing, and hurriedly pushed the door in: "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

Jiang Yi pursed his lips, his heart sank, and he said slowly: "Take this bowl of soup secretly to the Imperial Hospital, and have it checked by Imperial Doctor Li."

Zhang Ming has been guarding the door, so he naturally knew who sent the medicine, so he couldn't help being very surprised. Could it be that His Majesty suspects the Master of the State Teacher?

Even if he has doubts in his heart, after living in the palace for these years, he naturally knows what to say and what not to say, and the survival rule of pretending to be stupid even if he knows some things.

"Yes." He picked up the soup and walked out.

Jiang Yi let go of his guard and slammed the table hard. If what the letter said was true, then how could he face Lu Yuanzhi?

He must have hated himself miserably, never wanting to see himself again.

With a sore nose, Jiang Yi took out the letter paper, rubbed it in the palm of his hand, and secretly felt sad.
