Your Highness, please detour when you see this seat

Royal Palace

In fact, 18 years ago, the imperial palace was much bigger than it is now. It became what it is today only because the entire imperial palace was divided into two parts from north to south after Si Kou ascended the throne.

The south is his current palace, and the half of the north is designated as a forbidden area, because this area was originally the residence of the former emperor and the former prince. For the sake of his throne and to show respect for the former emperor, he must Keep it, but just keep it.

This is the northernmost part of the imperial palace. No one cares about it in 18 years. The majestic and luxurious palace in those days has been dilapidated. The night wind blows through the branches outside the window and makes rustling sounds. The dark shadows of the trees are reflected on the window in the dim light Extremely gloomy.

Si Kou stood outside the house with an indifferent expression on his face. Beside him stood a tall and bearded man in a python robe. Not far behind him were several guards standing opposite each other expressionlessly. The right hand on the handle of the knife shows that the two sides do not trust each other.

"Yu Wenzhi, you are so courageous!" Si Kou's eyes were cold, and his eyes fell on Yu Wenxio, besides being angry, there was also a trace of jealousy.

After all, he has been pampered and pampered for 18 years. His body is no longer what it used to be, but Yu Wenzhi is leading troops on the front line every day to practice. Get up even better.

The two of them can be said to be tearing their skins apart now, and Yu Wenzhi doesn't hide it.

Do not!

It should be said that since Lei Jiajun was eliminated by him and took control of half of Beique, he has never concealed himself as an elite.

He laughed harshly: "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty misunderstood my subject and had no choice but to return to the capital. Now I also heard that the chief and deputy commanders of Your Majesty's Dragon Guards Army were killed, so I have to come to see you for Your Majesty's sake."

Si Kou squinted his eyes with suspicion on his face: "What do you want to say?"

Yu Wenzhi did not answer directly but turned to the dilapidated palace in front of him: "Your Majesty still remember this place?"

"Yuwenzhi! What are you sure I can't do with you?" Apparently Yuwenzhi's words touched him, and Si Kou couldn't help but turn grim: "Yuwenzhi, back then I didn't do anything and everything was done by you! Your personal conquest was proposed by Yujia! The former emperor and the former crown prince were also killed by you! And I stabilized the turbulent Beique! Yu Wenjie, now I am the emperor of Beique!"

Yu Wenxi laughed loudly and resounded through the silent night sky, as if not afraid of being discovered by others, he kicked open the door in front of him.

The old palace was full of dust and cobwebs. He looked around and waved his sleeves to sweep away the dust. He sat down provocatively and said, "I did it, but I did it all for Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the two dead people have been dead for 18 years." Why are you still so taboo?"

"Indeed! It's just two dead people! It's Zhen who sits on the throne now!" Si Kou crossed the threshold, chose a seat far away from Yu Wenzhi, and resumed his usual majesty in the court hall: "You have an appointment with Zhen today. Why are you here?"

"Don't His Majesty the Court feel strange now?" Yu Wenzhi said with a ruthless light in his eyes. If he hadn't had to, why would he return to the capital.

Leaking the disappearance of the strong man, thinking that both the king and the bandit will suffer and enjoy the benefits of being a fisherman?dream!

"King Zhongyong has a good opinion?" Si Kou's face darkened, and Yu Wenjie's question at this time showed that the current situation in Kyoto was beyond his expectations, which meant that he did not collude with Xitang, at least this time Xitang threatened the Western Territory no longer. within his plan.

"Presumably His Majesty has also seen that their target is His Highness the Crown Prince, so His Majesty has no idea?"

"Ji Yun is both the eldest son and the crown prince, why is it strange that they are targeting him?"

"What about the deaths of brothers Yan Rong and Long Fang and Long Yuan? Others don't know about them, so Your Majesty won't forget their true identities?" Yu Wenzhi didn't bother to play riddles and pointed out directly: "It's not that they won the trust of the late emperor. It's not so easy for me. The ambush was successful, allowing His Majesty to take the opportunity to successfully eliminate Lei Dong, a serious threat."

There was a moment of silence, the rustling sound outside the window was extremely harsh at this time, Si Kou's hands under his long sleeves were clenched tightly, his body was straight and his muscles were stiff, and the dim light cast a shadow on his face, which was indescribably gloomy.

"They are your own hands!"

"But your Majesty, don't forget that my people were also killed back then. I don't know who did it. Their bodies were robbed by Lei Dong. He didn't reveal their location until he died." Yu Wenzhi said through gritted teeth. Que God of War Lei Dong took over the important task of Lei Dong to guard the western border. His reputation resounded throughout the four countries.

"Are you sure they're dead?"

Si Kou swept over Yu Wenzhi and saw his expression in his eyes. The corners of his lips drooped slightly, and his eyes were deeply unwilling.

There is nothing he can't compare to the former emperor. Since he ascended the throne, he has done everything by himself and dare not slack off. His national power gradually ranks first among the four countries. He is worthy of his ancestors.

Thunder!Lei Jiajun!If Lei Jiashi supported him back then, why should he be threatened by Yu Wenzhi now!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the first emperor is just a sick child, and the first prince is even a five-year-old child. Such injuries will never survive. But your majesty, the old Lei family sent by the first emperor should not give up so easily."

"Do you suspect that all of this is from the former Lei family and the former emperor's faction?"

Yu Wenjie chuckled: "Your Majesty thinks so too? Otherwise, why would Your Majesty just let His Highness the Crown Prince conscript himself?"

"No wonder King Zhongyong didn't stop my decision! I know, King Zhongyong can step down if he has nothing else to do." Si Kou glanced at Yu Wenzhi from the corner of his eye. Wang, I don't want news of your return to Beijing from the capital."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. After all, I and Your Majesty have always been in harmony with each other. Haha... I am waiting to punish traitors with Your Majesty!" Yu Wenjie took a deep look at Si Kou in a little astonishment. people leave.

Si Kou didn't seem to hear his insolent laughter, and sat there motionless without knowing what to think. After a long time, he turned his eyes to the direction where Yu Wenster left, his eyes seemed to be poisoned in the darkness.

The former emperor's faction?Lei's old department?I was able to destroy the Lei family except for the former emperor, and I can still do it now!Whether it's Yu Wenzhi or those remnants!

In addition, Kong Ze's words...does he know anything?

"Back to the palace!"

Several people came and left quietly, leaving only the dilapidated palace standing in place to witness everything.

One month later

The heavy rain washed over the official road, causing muddy water to splash everywhere, and even the group sitting under the pavilion to shelter from the rain could not avoid splashing a few drops.The scenery outside the pavilion through the heavy rain curtain is dim and shadowy.

"Fraud brother..."

Although this trip to the west was said to be a personal conquest on behalf of Si Kou, Si Kou did not ask for a single soldier from the imperial court, but led a few of his confidants to go in plain clothes, and Si Kou agreed for some reason.

He was sitting in the innermost side protected by Tong Fang and others, his eyes fell on Mo Wang who was beside him, with a flattering smile on his face, and his voice was so mellow.

Mo left in a huff that night, and he was also busy preparing for the trip to the west, the two of them hadn't seen each other for a month except for hearing news from their subordinates.

An unsteady body under Mo Wang's feet twitched his stiff and stern face, and he glanced at Si Jiyun from the corner of his eye, his flattering smile was so glaring that he thought of hitting his face with a palm.

"We deliberately chose the official road, and the journey was very peaceful."

Originally thought that when Si Jiyun was going to the western region, Yu Wenster would never easily let the imperial court intervene in the western region.

Si Jiyun's eyes flickered, he pursed his lips and smiled, got up and leaned towards Mo Wang.Because Mo Wang was standing on the outside of the pavilion, facing the official road, rainwater hit him from time to time, he leaned forward sideways to block the splashing rainwater, and after a while, one side of his clothes became wet.

"Xidu's weapon embryos appeared in the Jiulong Mountains, and the cave where the embryos were hidden was patrolled by heavy soldiers..."

Looking at the majestic mountains in the distance, Si Jiyun's eyes turned cold, and then said: "Being able to do this kind of thing under Yuwenster's nose, he has a lot of power in the Nine Dragons Mountain Range, and Yuwenster's domineering temperament can make people have such great power. ?”

Mo Wang was silent for a while, staring blankly at his wet clothes, and a few wisps of fingers came out from his right hand.An invisible barrier instantly separated the rainwater outside the pavilion from the pavilion. The water splashed into the pavilion formed a clear arc and fell along the invisible barrier. shoot out.

I saw a stream of rain turned into a water sword and passed by the horse hiding under the tree not far away, and the exclamation was overwhelmed by the startled horse's cry and the sound of rain.

Mo Wang took a deep look at the back of the tree, then turned his gaze to Si Jiyun and said: "Doesn't this mean that Yu Wenjie has colluded with Xiqi, and Yuwen Feifei's martial arts also explains everything."

"Xiqi, Wulin, and the imperial court gathered in the Jiulong Mountains, but Yu Wenjie suddenly returned to the capital. Does he trust Xiqi like this?"

Mo Wang pursed his lips and remained silent. Of course, Yu Wenster couldn't trust Xi Teng, but the confidant who helped him climb the Nine Dragons Mountain Range was not necessarily the case.

"So you suspect that Yu Wenster has other plans for returning to the capital."

"Yu Wenzhi wants us to go up the mountain, but we can only know why we go up the mountain."

While talking, Si Jiyun suddenly looked at Mo Wang and said meaningfully: "Besides, I always thought that Yan Rong's death was too coincidental."

"Do you have a plan in mind?" Mo Wang didn't say much or argue with him, Si Jiyun's keen mind explained too much, which made him more suspicious.

"Act by chance."

A look of surprise flashed across Mo Wang's sideways eyes. After analyzing so much, he came to such a decision, which made him wonder if this was a joke on him.

Just at this time, the rain was getting lighter, and the horse under the tree suddenly moved restlessly a few times and neighed loudly, causing the two to turn their eyes.

"Tong Fang go to see what's going on?"

Si Jiyun frowned, how could Mo Wang miss the finger that flew behind the tree just now with Mo Wang's skill? But Mo Wang didn't say much, so he pretended he didn't see it, even if he wanted to ignore the restlessness of the horse at this moment.

"Yuwen Feifei, how long are you going to hide after following me all the way!" Ignoring the surprised eyes of Si Jiyun and the others, Mo Wang looked coldly.

A slender figure slowly appeared from behind the tree, with the drenched hair crown crookedly worn on the head, the thick hair sticking wetly to his face, standing shiveringly under the tree with a pair of eyes left Dodging to the right and staring fiercely at Mo Wang from time to time, but not looking at Si Jiyun.

The Palace of Zhongyong Palace is controlled by Yu Wenster. There is no need for her to stay in the Palace. Ever since Si Jiyun brought Si Kou to conquer her, she has been wandering in Mo Wang's mansion. She thought she was hiding well, but Mo Wang had already discovered that she was not He said that he intentionally caused her to suffer so much.
