The emperor read the story book in the memorial

The bamboo in the deciduous garden made a pleasant salad sound when blown by the wind. Zhao Linxu liked this sound more and more.

At this moment, Zhao Linxu was practicing sword in the yard. The wind of the sword was fierce, and the bamboo swayed here and there, as if someone was playing music for him.

"emperor."

Seeing that Zhao Linxu had stopped to take a rest, Shuo Lin stepped forward and handed him a letter.

"It's from Shuoyuan."

Zhao Linxu took over the creed.

The above content is very brief, roughly speaking of what Li Jianyu has done these days, but there is nothing special about it.

After Zhao Linxu read it, he returned the creed to Shuolin to burn it.

Before leaving, Shuolin couldn't help but stop and ask: "The emperor sent someone to secretly protect the city lord, but what's the plan?"

Zhao Linxu raised his eyebrows and looked at Shuolin.

Shuo Lin knelt down and said, "This subordinate is talking too much."

Zhao Linxu waved his hand to make Shuolin stand up, and said with a smile, "I don't have any plans, it's a business to guard against him, but it's my private business to protect him."

"In this way, the subordinates can rest assured."

Shuo Lin has been with Zhao Linxu since he was a child, and the two are more like brothers than monarchs and ministers. Shuo Lin is worried that Zhao Linxu made a wrong decision.

Zhao Linxu shook his head and said: "As an emperor, after this turmoil, I will punish Li Jianyu for whatever crimes he committed. But as myself, I will not let the people I want to trust and protect have accidents."

"Shuo Yuan will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations."

"That's great." Zhao Linxu put his hands behind his back and said, "Is there any news from Feng Guhua?"

"Feng Guhua already knew about the secret relationship between Feng Guheng and the prince. As the emperor, he definitely couldn't allow it. He agreed to our request without any hesitation, and promised that the soldiers and horses of Daxi would be used by us in the future war. Feng Guhua Gu Hua's envoys are already on their way."

"Unfortunately not all of them."

Zhao Linxu sneered.

He doesn't fully own all of Da Gong's military power, Zhao Zhanqi counts as one, and Zhao Linxu's uncle and the king of the frontier are not peaceful people.It is said that the military power in Daxi is more dispersed, and the Fengju family is after all Fang Li Wang Chengguo, and the foundation is not stable.

"Take one step at a time."

After Shuolin left, Zhao Linxu was about to go back to the house when he saw Zhao Jiangxue hurrying over.

"Brother Huang! Brother Huang, have you heard of it?"

Zhao Linxu frowned and said, "Dignified princess, can you pay attention to your manners?"

Zhao Jiangxue didn't pay attention to Zhao Linxu's lecture, after all she didn't pay attention, she just took his hand and said, "Zhao Zhanqi told the world that he and Li Jianyu were married, and that Li Jianyu ruined his child!"

Looking at the previous momentum, she thought that the emperor brother had something to do with the city lord, but now it seems that he even has the prince's child?

Zhao Jiangxue was a little confused.

Zhao Linxu was also a little confused.

"what?"

"It's hard for two people to love each other and get pregnant before marriage!" Zhao Jiangxue stomped his feet angrily and said, "It's not you and the city lord who are the protagonists in the story now!"

Zhao Linxu rolled his eyes, turned around and went back to the house.

The two wooden swords were still placed beside the small table in the corner, and Zhao Linxu's eyes dimmed slightly.

Shuolin is still investigating, presumably Zhao Zhanqi will also investigate, let's see what the truth is in the end.

After Zhao Linxu returned to his room, he saw a carrier pigeon perched on the window eaves.

Zhao Linxu smiled, and gently removed the note from the carrier pigeon's feet.

The next day, Li Jianyu followed Xue Ni and Zhao Zhanqi to the North-South Army Camp.

Xu was in order to take care of Li Jianyu, the carriage drove very slowly, and did not take the bumpy road.Zhao Zhanqi didn't pursue what happened the day before yesterday, and he didn't force him to ask where the child came from, but Li Jianyu knew that this child would be designated as Beinan Mansion anyway.

Li Jianyu leaned on the cushion and gently pressed his stomach with his hands. After drinking the medicine yesterday, the pain was gone.But Li Jianyu still felt delicate.

After Dr. Lu gave her a happy pulse before, Li Jianyu only felt full of anger. After venting to Zhao Linxu, all kinds of things happened before he could clarify them. He didn't have time to calm down and take a breath.

Because of this, Li Jianyu has never looked at the little baby in his stomach seriously.I don't know if the little thing felt that he was neglected, so he reminded Li Jianyu like this.

If he detects the child in the hospital before crossing, he will probably go crazy.But after coming here, he knew from childhood that men can have babies, and he has seen many pregnant women.Although I got used to it, it still felt unbelievable when it happened to me, and I even wondered if there was a baby in my stomach.

How is it possible?

But there is.

So what to do.Li Jianyu became irritable when he thought of this.

Looking around, however, he seemed to have only one choice.Li Jianyu couldn't kill this child, not because of his kindness, but because it was unnecessary.Then, Li Jianyu can only give birth to the baby and take good care of it. Thinking of the best, he is alone in this different world and has no plans to get married or fall in love, so it is good to have a child to accompany him.

So be it.

Li Jianyu sighed.

"Princess, we're almost there." Ruo'er outside the carriage said softly, "It's less than half a stick of incense."

Li Jianyu let out a "hmm".

He also often went to the barracks when he took over the Fallen Leaf Army in the front. He knew that Lu Ai and Zheng Ke would bring all the soldiers to barbecue, drink and fight around from time to time.Presumably, he was worried that he was alone in Beinan Mansion, so he brought himself over to watch.

Li Jianyu thought to himself, it would be nice to come out to get some fresh air.

Some of the northern and southern troops brought by Zhao Zhanqi this time camped on the outskirts of the city. Before they arrived, Li Jianyu opened the curtain of the carriage and could see the smoke rising from the forest, and he could also faintly hear shouts.

After entering, Xue Ni helped Li Jianyu get off the carriage.

Everyone in the barracks ate and drank around the bonfire in the open space, and some people sang to add to the fun.

"General! The general is coming!"

The soldiers called Zhao Zhanqi a general, not a prince.

Zhao Zhanqi nodded, and took Xue Ni and Li Jianyu to the side to sit down.

"General!"

Soon someone handed Zhao Zhanqi a plate full of barbecue.

"I'll do it myself, you give it to Xue Ni and the city lord."

Xue Ni and Li Jianyu took the barbecue and thanked each other.

After a while, Zhao Zhanqi was dragged by the soldiers to compete with each other, and there were wild shouts.

Out of the corner of Li Jianyu's eyes, he could see Xue Ni who was beside him and never took his eyes off Zhao Zhanqi. Watching Zhao Zhanqi compete with the rest of the soldiers, defeating round after round of enemies effortlessly, there were stars in his eyes.

"My lord is mighty!"

"My lord is mighty!"

Zhao Zhanqi inserted the sword into the ring with a "boom" and laughed loudly: "Someone beats me tonight, and I will be rewarded with the post of commander-in-chief in the battle on the frontier!"

The atmosphere became more enthusiastic, and many people were eager to try.

Li Jianyu was puzzled.

The battle for the frontier after that?

Xue Ni said: "The frontier is not peaceful anymore. Yesterday one of the north and south deputy generals who guarded the frontier came and talked with the prince for half a night in the study. It seems that there will be turmoil again."

Li Jianyu frowned slightly.

By the way... because of the battle between Zhao Zhanqi and Zhao Linxu, Li Jianyu almost ignored it.In fact, the North and South Army is one of the brave troops guarding one side and defending Da Gong, otherwise it would not be able to threaten Zhao Linxu's Dragon Seat.

"These soldiers are loyally serving the prince, and the prince is also sincerely serving Da Gong." Xue Ni said with a smile: "The emperor has led troops to suppress many rebels before, but the prince is also the same."

Li Jianyu said: "The emperor has a clear distinction between public and private affairs. Although he is dissatisfied with the prince because of his mother and concubine's affairs, I believe that the emperor also recognizes the prince's hard work."

Li Jianyu had learned from Zhao Linxu before that the concubine Duan, Zhao Linxu's biological mother was framed to death by the queen, Zhao Zhanqi's mother and concubine, with a cup of poisoned wine.

Xue Ni pondered for a moment, then sighed and said: "Does the princess know the truth back then? At that time, the prince knew that the queen was going to hurt Concubine Duan, so he replaced the poisoned wine with ordinary wine in advance."

Li Jianyu said: "But Concubine Duan died in the end."

"That's because the emperor gave Concubine Duan the intoxicating fruit as a tribute. At that time, no one knew about intoxicating fruit, but I was born in Daxi, so I know that these fruits can be made into poison."

Li Jianyu stared blankly at Xue Ni, before saying for a moment: "You...didn't tell the emperor?"

"Is it possible to tell the emperor that he himself killed his mother and concubine?" Xue Ni shook his head and said, "The prince is not such a villain, and this matter is over. Even if there is no such relationship, the prince and the emperor Still hostile."

Winners and losers have always been like this.

Li Jianyu smiled, took the wine glass on the small table in front of him, and had a drink with Xue Ni.

In a short while, Zhao Zhanqi defeated all the soldiers who challenged, and the spring breeze came towards them proudly, and said condescendingly to Xue Ni: "How?"

"My lord's martial arts are unrivaled in the world, and he is the dragon and the phoenix among the people." Xue Ni said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, speaking quite well.

"Let's go." Zhao Zhanqi said: "The city lord is also here. This king has invited General Lu and General Zheng to discuss the wedding together."

Li Jianyu followed Zhao Zhanqi and Xue Ni to the main tent in the barracks, and saw that Lu Ai and Zheng Ke were already waiting inside with Zhao Zhanqi's lieutenants.

"See Your Majesty!"

Lu Ai and Zheng Ke looked at Li Jianyu with complicated eyes.

They really didn't expect that Li Jianyu would fall to Zhao Zhanqi.

Zhao Zhanqi sat down on the main seat, crossed his legs and looked around at the people in the main tent.

"The date of the big wedding has been set, and Daxi soldiers and horses and Mr. Yi are also ready." Xue Ni spread the map of fallen leaves on the table and asked Lu Ai and Zheng Ke: "May I ask the two generals, where do you think is the most suitable place to attack from?" .”

Lu Ai and Zheng Ke looked at each other, then lowered their heads to study the map carefully.

Li Jianyu sat aside and watched the discussion of several soldiers, and sighed in his heart.

It seems that the day of the big wedding is the day of turmoil.

XXXXXXXX

The seventh day of the lunar new year is a good day calculated by a fortune teller.

On this day, Beinan Mansion was ablaze with red, silk lanterns and firecrackers could be heard from miles away.But ordinary people just looked outside, after all, Beinan Mansion only invited a few distinguished guests, and there was not much excitement inside.

"My lord, I have already sent someone to invite the princess."

In the room with a big "囍" posted, Xue Ni was standing behind Zhao Zhanqi, combing his hair gently.Holding those unruly black hair in one hand, and slowly combing down with a wooden comb in the other.

Zhao Zhanqi sat in front of the bronze mirror and gave a casual "hmm".

He has a noble status, so for the big wedding, Li Jianyu was invited by his subordinates to go to Beinan Mansion instead of him moving it himself.

The room was very quiet, so quiet that the faint breathing of the people behind could be heard clearly.Zhao Zhanqi looked at the person in the bronze mirror, his thoughts drifted away.

A long time ago, when he was just coming of age, as a child.And Xue Ni is younger than him, with a soft voice, she follows her wherever she goes, pulls her clothes and calls, brother Qi, brother Qi, and shrinks behind her when she meets outsiders , Thinking about Brother Qi all the time.

Xue Ni was originally a disciple of the Daxi court occultist, but esoteric art requires talented people, and the system is even more cruel. Priests randomly select some children, keep those who are talented, and kill those who are not.Although Xue Ni is the latter, he managed to escape from the palace and was rescued by Zhao Zhanqi at the border and picked up.

From then on, Xue Ni followed Zhao Zhanqi faithfully.

Zhao Zhanqi curled his lips slightly.

Xue Ni was really cute when he was a child, but as he grew older, Xue Ni became what he is now, restrained and gentle, the pool of water in his eyes is so deep that he can no longer see it.

The little bun from before suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by the deep-minded counselor Xue, who made suggestions on the battlefield, contacted Daxi for him, and carefully calculated for himself...

"Is there something on your mind?"

And insight into what's on his mind, except...

Zhao Zhanqi smiled and said, "What do you think of Li Jianyu? Are you satisfied with my marriage with him?"

"The lord of the city is beautiful and smart, and he is still the lord of the city. He is worthy of the prince. The most important thing is that he is good for the prince."

Zhao Zhanqi raised his eyebrows and said, "Then after tonight? Will this king also become an official husband and wife with the city lord?"

"If the prince likes it, Xue Ni will naturally serve the city lord well. If the prince doesn't like it, Xue Ni will help the prince and the city lord break away from this husband and wife relationship."

"Okay, my lord."

Xue Ni put away the wooden comb.

Zhao Zhanqi got up, paid attention to Li Dahong's happy congratulations and said, "I have something to give you after the turmoil tonight."

"What?" Xue Ni raised her eyes slightly.

"You will know later." Zhao Zhanqi smiled and left the room.

Xue Ni turned her head to look at the sky outside the window, the night had just begun.

XXXXXX

"An enemy is coming! An enemy is coming!"

"There are enemies attacking the city!"

The warning bell on the gate tower was rung.

Zhao Linxu rode a horse beside the city gate, looking at the soldiers who were preparing to defend the city.

He knew what Zhao Zhanqi was thinking, as long as the city was broken, his death would be a matter of course.And "the emperor Zhao Linxu died on the battlefield, and the prince Zhao Zhanqi took the throne after defeating the enemy" is also reasonable.

The enemy army outside was nominally from Daxi, but Zhao Linxu knew how many North and South armies were mixed in, and maybe the Fallen Leaf Army was included.With Li Jianyu's internal response, Zhao Zhanqi would get twice the result with half the effort.

Although Zhao Linxu transferred half of Uncle Chen's hussars to the guards of the capital, but there were Feng Guhua, the Huanyuejiao and Baihuamen that he had negotiated with him, and the rest of the hussars, Zhao Linxu felt that he could handle it well.

Even if Li Jianyu blocked him, he could still win.

Zhao Linxu had fought even more disparate battles before, and he was not afraid of defeat, let alone death.

"Your Majesty!" Uncle Chen's lieutenant, the current commander Liu Pucheng rode up to Zhao Linxu and said, "The sentry towers outside the fallen leaves have been captured by the enemy."

Zhao Linxu nodded, not surprised.

Li Jianyu has already stood at Zhao Zhanqi's place, what kind of sentry tower does he want to protect, the city gate doesn't know if he can protect it.

"Boom-thump-thump-"

"The enemy army and us are separated by only one door!" Zhao Linxu raised his sword and shouted: "Would you like to live and die with me! Save the fallen leaves!"

"Swear to follow the emperor to the death—"

"Swear to follow the emperor to the death—"

Under the moonlight, beside the city gate, a row of high-spirited soldiers raised their swords high, as if they were about to fly into the air.

The hussars were Zhao Linxu's favorite, and also the only army that he held full power in his hands.He thought that he was in the hussar army with the army, and then he took over the power from the former hussar general, and after he ascended the throne, he handed it over to his brother Uncle Chen who fought side by side in the past.

"kill--"

The city gate is towering, and the enemy cannot break through it for a while.

Zhao Linxu got off his horse, stood on the city wall and together with the soldiers killed the enemy troops who tried to climb up. The thick wooden stakes kept hitting the city gate, but the enemy troops manipulating the wooden stakes were quickly shot down by random arrows. shoot dead.

Zhao Linxu handed over the commander to Liu Pucheng at ease, and asked him to set up the formation and give orders, while he followed the hussars to kill happily.

Liu Pucheng saw Zhao Linxu covered in blood from a distance, and realized that the person in front of him was the king, so he shouted: "Your Majesty! It's dangerous here!"

"Dangerous?" Zhao Linxu seemed to have heard something ridiculous, jumped up, and swept the two enemies in front of him off the city wall with a sweep of the sword in his hand.

"The meaning of the last general is that the enemy will be in danger!" Liu Pucheng laughed.

The battle around the city gate was stalemate, and Zhao Linxu heard the sound of horseshoes under the city wall.

What movement?

Liu Pucheng who was standing on the highest place was shocked from the bottom of his heart.

Outside the city gate are those wolf-like enemy troops, while inside the city gate, hussars are guarding the city gate.

But behind the hussars, another army is slowly approaching, coming from the city!Although the number of these troops is much smaller than that of the outside, they still cannot be underestimated.

Liu Pu thought to himself, these people came in through the north back door of the fallen leaves!But the rest of the back door and the side door are not guarded by Baihuamen and Huanyuejiao!

"General Liu! General Liu!"

Before Liu Pucheng could figure it out, he saw a woman jump up to the high platform where he was with light kung fu, knelt down and said, "North Gate and West Gate are lost! The rest of the disciples and the Huanyue Cultists are still defending against the remaining enemies!"

No wonder there seemed to be a lot less troops below, and there was a gap in the formation.

Zhao Linxu looked at the man who led the army.

Zhao Zhanqi was in armor and took the lead.

Zhao Zhanqi looked at Zhao Linxu and said with a smile: "Does the Emperor know why City Lord Li rebelled? Because I told him a secret. Has the Emperor heard of certain 'eccentricities' of the Feng Ju family?"

"Feng Guhua and Feng Guheng are not old enemies, this is just a scene they played for me." Zhao Linxu raised his eyebrows and looked at the situation below. Outside the city gate were the troops of the North and South Army and Feng Guheng. Isn't it the reinforcements that originally belonged to him, Feng Guhua's people?

Feng Guhua and Feng Juheng belonged to the same party, and they also stood with Zhao Zhanqi unanimously.

And the quirk that Zhao Zhanqi said...

Zhao Linxu sneered.

Sealers have a strange custom, they are highly respected by their own family, but they are extremely despised by outsiders.It is said that the Fengju family has a pure bloodline, this bloodline is extremely talented in secret arts, so they like the incest of the family, the elder brother marries the younger sister as wife, the uncle marries the niece as concubine... Over time, they got used to living with the members of the same family. Get married, regardless of gender.

Thinking about the relationship between Feng Guhua and Feng Juheng.

Liu Pucheng stood beside Zhao Linxu and said in a low voice, "How is it, Your Majesty?"

Now they are facing the situation of being attacked from both inside and outside, and being attacked from both sides.

"Hit hard." Zhao Linxu smiled and said, "What else?"

The battle of the city gate behind him intensified, and it was about to break out in front of him.

"Fight!!" Liu Pucheng yelled, "Set up!"

The hussars fought more difficult and dangerous battles with Zhao Linxu in the past, so they are not afraid!

Zhao Linxu twisted his neck, jumped down from the city gate, and stepped onto Yuefeng.

Zhao Zhanqi smiled, and galloped towards Zhao Linxu, "Bang!" The two swords collided with each other.

"Zhao Zhanqi! You have never defeated me." Zhao Linxu grinned.

"I won today." Zhao Zhanqi raised his eyebrows and said: "The emperor will not only lose this competition, but also lose the country."

With that said, Zhao Zhanqi raised his head behind Zhao Linxu.

With a "boom", the solid city gate was knocked open, and there was a harsh "squeak", and it opened its arms to the enemy carelessly.

But something unexpected happened. The moment the city gate was opened, it seemed that something was touched, and there was a strange mechanical sound from the city gate and the whole city wall. It could be heard that it was the friction between wood and iron. .

Then, I heard the sound of "whoosh, whoosh", and every stone brick of the city wall turned around, revealing the other side.And on that side there is a dark, bottomless hole.

After each stone was turned, these weird gaps were exposed to the enemy. For a while, the enemy's eyes were densely packed with black holes, which penetrated tightly.

The enemy general noticed something, and his eyes widened and he shouted: "Retreat! Everyone retreat!!"

However, at this moment, many figures appeared in the jungle outside the city gate, hiding in the grass and trees, and surrounded the enemy army.

Those figures were holding a bow and arrow in their hands.

"Whoosh-"

The arrows shot by the figure combined with the arrows erupted from the openings of the stone walls, and the sharp weapons that covered the ground in all directions made it impossible for the enemy to escape.

For a while, arrows rained, and wailing was everywhere.

Liu Pucheng's eyes widened, staring blankly at the unexpected event in front of him.

When did the city gate have such a hidden weapon?

Is it possible...

Whoosh whoosh—

After the last sharp arrow was shot from the stone wall, a man led the figures who had been hiding in the forest out.

"Kill them!"

The leading man is Lu Ai, and behind him is naturally the Fallen Leaf Army.

Zhao Linxu smiled, with surprise and excitement in his eyes.

He knew that the beauty was on his side!

Zhao Linxu was overjoyed, but felt that his whole body had gained a bit of strength, and he had nowhere to vent it.

Looking at the unpredictable expression on Zhao Zhanqi's face, Zhao Linxu said: "It's a pity, brother, today's ending is still the same as before."

After saying that, he swung his sword and slashed at Zhao Zhanqi.

Zhao Zhanqi narrowed his eyes slightly.

well.

Li Jianyu lied to him.

Marrying him, destroying the sentry tower, and making plans are just blindfolds. Li Jianyu has planned to confuse him from the very beginning and make him confident!

But he's not stupid either.

"So what if Li Jianyu betrayed the king?" Zhao Zhanqi's eyes were full of hostility, and he swung his sword to block Zhao Linxu's aggressive blow and said: "Emperor Daxi and the prince with the greatest military power are standing here with this king. How can the hussars resist?"

Zhao Linxu raised his eyebrows.

It can be seen that Zhao Zhanqi is in a very bad mood now, presumably he doesn't like being betrayed or something went wrong in the plan.This is the same as himself, Zhao Linxu can't bear the betrayal of others, but he finds things that are not planned to be interesting.

Zhao Linxu smiled and said, "What? You are allowed to find Daxi, but I can't?"

Zhao Zhanqi had some doubts in his heart.

impossible?

It was really not easy to invite Feng Guhua and Feng Guheng, Xue Ni had the means, and the only way to do it was to stay in the Daxi Palace in the past.As far as Daxi's style is concerned, how could Zhao Linxu have the ability to ask Daxi to help and send troops.

"Clang!"

The tip of Zhao Linxu's sword barely scratched Zhao Zhanqi's side face.

Zhao Zhanqi didn't want to be in a daze anymore, and swung his sword with full strength in his arm to stab Zhao Linxu's waist.

Under the night, the two figures were like lightning and thunder, venting heartily, making the beast inside roar and bite the enemy.

XXXXXX

Outside the city lord's mansion, the sedan chairs to welcome the bride and boxes of betrothal gifts were left beside the gate of the mansion and no one paid any attention to them.

The ordinary people in the welcoming team heard that there was a war outside, and they could faintly hear the sound of killing. They were so frightened that they ran home and prepared to deal with their families. It is to surround the city lord's mansion, this is their prince's order, to prevent accidents.

In the mansion, Li Jianyu was lying on the soft bed in the study and waiting quietly.

Lu Ai took the Fallen Leaves Army to help Zhao Linxu. Lu Ai was the coach this time, but Zheng Ke was not, so Li Jianyu waited for Zheng Ke to finish his duties before picking him up.

There are not many North and South Army guards outside, and he believes that Zheng Ke can lead people to take care of it.

After all, it would be too dangerous for him to stay here obediently and do nothing. If Zhao Zhanqi lost his mind in anger and asked someone to kill him, then he would cry for someone.

The mansion is not silent, the sound of cicadas, running water, and fighting in the distance can be heard from the courtyard.

Li Jianyu sighed, he didn't want to mess with this muddy water, but Zhao Zhanqi didn't give him a choice at all, so he can't be blamed for fighting back.

Zhao Zhanqi asked him to talk, but Li Jianyu had to go, and running away blindly was not the solution.And then Zhao Zhanqi forced him to stand in line and told Li Jianyu that if he didn't help Zhao Zhanqi, Li Jianyu and Luoyecheng would not be able to escape after Zhao Linxu's defeat.

Li Jianyu originally wanted to believe in Zhao Linxu and believe that he could win, but Li Jianyu couldn't.

After eating Jiuding Wan, Yi Miaosuan told him that Feng Guhua and Feng Guheng were having fun in the palace every day, so how could Zhao Linxu win?

Li Jianyu had no choice but to do so.

He would never entrust his life and rights to another person, his own city and people, his own life, naturally he had to figure out a way by himself.

And now he has succeeded.

Li Jianyu gently played with the jade pendant in his hand, which was the phoenix pendant given to him by the old witch.Li Jianyu liked it very much, maybe it was because, as the old lady said, this jade pendant could bring Phoenix good luck and calm the nerves, and Li Jianyu felt his mood calm down a lot.

Fallen leaves are troubled and the turmoil is not over, so Li Jianyu let Xiao Jiu'er go with Meng Qingshu, and now he is the only one left in Luoye's mansion.

"Eh-"

Li Jianyu was taken aback for a moment, and when he got up, he saw the door was pushed open, and it was easy for someone to come.

Li Jianyu had an ominous premonition in his heart, but his face was still not leaking: "Why is Mr. Yi here?"

Yi Miaosuan cut to the chase and said, "Where's the soldier talisman?"

Li Jianyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you want a military talisman, sir?"

"Princess, you betrayed the prince, so you don't feel ashamed in your heart? Now there is still a chance to save, so give me the soldier talisman."

Li Jianyu sneered slightly.

Yi Miaosuan wanted his military power and then killed him, right?In this way, Yi Miaosuan can say that City Lord Fallen Leaf died "accidentally" in the melee.He is still there now, so Lu Ai and Zheng Ke listen to him, and Luo Yejun listens to them.But if he died, the Fallen Leaf Army would have to obey the order of the soldier talisman.

"Where is the Fallen Leaf Soldier Talisman?" Yi Miaosuan reiterated.

Li Jianyu put his hand lightly on the dagger at his waist, wondering why Zheng Ke hasn't come yet.

"Princess, don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine."

"Mr. Yi really dedicated himself to the prince."

"I work for the Fengju family, which has nothing to do with the prince. It's the princess..." Yi Miaosuan shook his head and said, "Zhao Linxu and Zhao Zhanqi, why did the princess choose Zhao Linxu?"

"because I……"

Li Jianyu was in a trance.

Why?

"Because..." Li Jianyu collected himself and said with pursed lips, "I keep my promise."

Not long ago, someone told him, beauty, I have a chance to use your Fallen Leaf Army.

"That would be a pity." Few of the Daxi royal family knew how to perform secret arts, Yi Miaosuan raised a ball of flames in his hands, and said with gloomy eyes: "One last time, ask the princess, where is the soldier talisman?"

Li Jianyu looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Goodbye, princess."

wow-

Under the gate of the city, swords, swords and swords were heard, and the sound of killing was so loud that the ground and the sky were dyed red.

The Fallen Leaf Army and the Hussar Army fought back Fengju and the Beinan Army side by side, and the silk formation of the Baihuamen and the secret technique of the Huanyue Sect were of great help.

"General!"

Hua Huanxi stepped on the silk and landed beside Liu Pucheng, worriedly said: "I don't know if the general has noticed that we are at a disadvantage now, it is not good to continue like this."

Hua Huanxi had to order his disciples to form formations to assist the army, so he knew the battle situation best.

Before Liu Pucheng answered, he heard a howl not far away.However, this howling did not sound like a human being, but more like...

"The ghost-faced general is here!!!"

Liu Pucheng stepped on the higher sentry tower and looked at it, his eyes almost popped out.

What the hell is this!

Not far away, Zheng Ke rode on a horse and took the lead, but there was a group of... pigs in front of him.The herd of pigs rushed forward with a howl of "dong dong dong", and even the ground shook.

Zhao Linxu was also dumbfounded.

These pigs are not the same as the ones that "welcome" his newcomer Fallen Leaf. The pigs before were just released by people, lost and looking for their way.

But these, with torches tied to their tails, are not the same as rushing forward like crazy.If he was hit by these hundreds of kilograms of creatures, even if he survived, but if he was stepped on, would he still be saved?

Not to mention those torches tied to their tails will burn people.

Zheng Ke rode on the horse and shouted with a smile: "I! Zheng Ke! I specialize in raising pigs for the city lord!! Go for me—"

The pigs ran into the enemy army like this, and there was a sudden chaos.Not to mention that the formation was disrupted, the fire on the pigs spread and boiled, and the scene was tragic.

Zhao Zhanqi's complexion was extremely ugly, and then his complexion couldn't be described as ugly at all.

Because behind Zheng Ke is a tall man wearing a ghost mask and dark armor.Under the night, the man looked terrifying and strange.

"The ghost-faced general of Daxi? Then behind him is... the ghost-faced army?" Liu Pucheng couldn't even close his jaw, and it happened one after another.

Zhao Zhanqi couldn't believe it.

Zhao Linxu was able to invite General Ghost Face?

Ghost General!

Zhao Linxu smiled, and a white dove flew out from General Ghost Face and landed on Zhao Linxu's shoulder.

"Yes, we have fulfilled our promise." Zhao Linxu raised his eyebrows.

The big picture is set.

Zhao Zhanqi gritted his teeth and shouted: "Withdraw the troops!"

Liu Pucheng was overjoyed and said: "We can't let them retreat!"

"Let them retreat!" Zhao Linxu yelled, "Don't chase after the poor!"

Zhao Linxu and Zhao Zhanqi have been fighting each other on horseback. Although Zhao Linxu gave the order to pursue Mo Qiang, he didn't intend to let Zhao Zhanqi leave just like that.

Zhao Zhanqi stomped past Zhao Linxu's stab at his shoulder, and said with a smirk: "Your Majesty, don't forget that Li Jianyu is still in the hands of this king. He sacrificed himself to marry this king just to help the emperor, and it is the emperor who is looking for it. The emperor couldn't bear to look for the mysterious person that night?"

Zhao Linxu froze.

what?

"This king forgot, the emperor doesn't know yet." Zhao Zhanqi shook his head and said: "It's really pitiful."

Li Jianyu really hid it deeply.Zhao Zhanqi thought to himself, if Li Jianyu hadn't had abdominal pain in the Beinan mansion that day, he would not have thought of it and started to investigate.Zhao Linxu couldn't find out what happened that night, but he, Zhao Zhanqi, was behind the scenes, so it was easier to find out.

"What did you say!"

In a duel between masters, a small flaw is fatal.Taking advantage of Zhao Linxu's distraction, his movements were slow for a few beats to reveal his flaws, Zhao Zhanqi kicked Zhao Linxu off his horse, and then threw a bullet.

When Zhao Linxu got up to react, Zhao Zhanqi had long since disappeared.

bastard!

Zhao Linxu just felt dumbfounded.

What Zhao Zhanqi said just now...

He said that Li Jianyu was...

Li Jianyu...

"Your Majesty!" Hua Huanxi stepped forward and said worriedly: "What's wrong with the Emperor? Why does his face look so bad, is he injured?"

Perhaps because of their relationship with the enemy beasts in the cave together, Hua Huanxi treated Zhao Linxu more casually. After all, Zhao Linxu had never put on any airs in front of her, and humbly asked her to lend a helping hand in this battle.

"Impossible... Li Jianyu doesn't have patterns on her body."

How could he not notice?

"Pattern pattern?" Zhao Linxu muttered to himself, Hua Huanxi didn't listen deliberately, so he only vaguely captured the two key words Li Jianyu and pattern pattern, and asked one by one: "The emperor has also seen the pattern pattern on City Lord Li's body?" ?”

Zhao Linxu stared wide-eyed, staring at Hua Huanxi in a daze.

"It's the phoenix pattern, right?" Zhao Linxu didn't even notice the tremor in his tone.

"Yes. At that time, the city lord was injured by a ferocious beast, and the pain would make the totem emerge. The city lord told me not to tell outsiders that the emperor has seen it and should keep the secret for the city lord."

Zhao Linxu was stunned for a moment, but smiled.

Ridiculous, ridiculous.

It turned out to be the case.

All the unexplainable and strange things in the past are now finally understood by myself.

He should have guessed.

"Your Majesty!" Zheng Ke galloped up to Zhao Linxu and shouted, "Your Majesty has also seen that our city lord has not rebelled! The city lord has long known that Feng Guhua and Feng Guheng are colluding... Your majesty?"

Zhao Linxu collected himself, clenched his fists tightly and said, "Where is Li Jianyu now?"

"Of course it's in the City Lord's Mansion. The last general ran into General Ghost Face outside, so he didn't have time to pick him up, so he sent the sisters of Baihuamen to help. The disciples of Baihuamen are very skilled in martial arts, so there must be no problem!"

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

After a while, a woman came on horseback.

"What's the matter?" Zheng Ke stepped forward to meet him, but saw the woman coming alone, his heart sank randomly, and he raised his volume and shouted: "Where's the city lord?!"

"City Lord..." The woman's face was pale, and she tremblingly said, "When I arrived at the City Lord's Mansion with all the sisters, the entire mansion had been burned to ashes, only, only the ruins..."

Zheng Ke opened his mouth wide and stared at the woman blankly.

impossible……

impossible……

"Yes, it's true. Everyone has seen it...one person, not one." If this woman was not a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Sect, she would have been terrified by the tragic appearance.

Zheng Ke was a big man, and his eyes were red on the spot.

"Impossible..." Isn't the city owner confident?The city lord said that nothing will happen, so he and Lu Ai just follow what he said...how could his city lord...

Zhao Linxu held the rein so tightly that his palms were bloodied, looked at Liu Pucheng and said, "I'll leave this to you."

After all, he rode away on horseback on the blood that hadn't dried up on the ground.
