In October, the Northern Yuan Army fled far away to the Mobei Grassland, and the emperor returned with a large victorious team, temporarily stationed in Pingyang Pass, and held a banquet for the entire army.

After the banquet, it was late at night.

The young king returned to the camp of the Chinese army wearing moonlight.He staggered slightly, and seemed to be slightly drunk.Muttering drunken words and refusing the others to follow, he opened the tent and walked in first.

Swish—a gust of cold wind blew, and the lights in the hands of the attendants behind him suddenly went out.

The sight in front of him suddenly changed from bright to dark, and the tent was pitch black.

In the darkness, a cold light flashed!

A dagger appeared silently, like a meteor coming from the sky, and the cold light illuminated a corner of the camp.

The emperor seemed to be frightened on the spot, and bumped into the extremely sharp dagger in a daze.Then he fell limply to the ground.

"His Majesty?!"

Only then did the attendants' screams sound one after another.

"Come on, there are assassins!"

……

The camp was in a mess, and when many alarmed officers rushed over, they saw only a figure walking away like a ghost.

The camp of the Chinese Army, together with the emperor's body, had long been engulfed in a raging sea of ​​flames.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Lin Wuwei, who had already taken off his previous assassin costume, sat high on the roof of a restaurant.He looked towards the direction of the garrison in the distance.In the darkness, the dazzling fire light has gradually faded.

"...the number one assassin who successfully assassinated the tyrant?"

Thinking that he would pass on such a reputation to future generations, Lin Wuwei couldn't help but shook his head, feeling a little dizzy at the young king who insisted on acting in person as another protagonist in this drama.

At this time, there was a sound of gentle footsteps behind him, Lin Wuwei came back to his senses, and saw that the person who was still thinking about it just now had appeared here.

Chu Si put on a simple cloth, without a mask on his face, he followed Lin Wuwei to look at the dazzling fire, his eyes shone brightly, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, as if he was admiring a scene. A dramatic performance at the end.

He even nodded in a decent manner, as if he was very satisfied with what he had planned.

"Well... Jiang Hong's identity was born in the flames of Xuejiazhuang, and now it is finally in flames... This can be regarded as a different kind of beginning and end."

As for Xue Hai's previous worries, it has now been verified.In order to act more realistically, the previous Chu Si was in a completely defenseless state. If Lin Wuwei had other intentions, he could completely fake the show.

——Of course, if he really did this, he would naturally have to meet Chu Si's followers.

Lin Wuwei didn't know it, but silently, he had passed the most important test.At this moment, he just looked helplessly at the wayward young king in front of him, and sighed tiredly.

Before he could finish sorting out his complicated mood, a hand was suddenly stretched out in front of him. The five fingers were long and slender, and the roots were carved like jade. Then the young man's clear voice sounded: "I almost forgot there is one more thing."

Lin Wuwei raised his head in a daze: "???"

"Split! You should have gone to collect it just now. It is agreed to kill the tyrant and reward ten thousand gold!" The young man in front of him said of course, "I am the most important participant in it, and I have contributed a lot. Half of the meeting Is it not an exaggeration?"

While speaking, he had absolutely no awareness that he was the tyrant he was talking about.

"By the way, considering that gold is not convenient to carry. Just give me a silver ticket."

Lin Wuwei: "..."

〖Hahahahaha god damn it, I can't refute the fact that the meeting is divided in half!A feigned death also requires acting skills, not everyone can act well, our Majesty has indeed made great efforts! 〗〖That's right, our Majesty's performance is not expensive [funny].Feign death once, and get [-]% of the reward, hahahaha! 〗〖Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah no way, this kind of character design is too poignant to my heart!Your Majesty's appearance is no ordinary foul! 〗〖Emmmm Am I the only one who loves Lin Wuwei...〗Accompanied by the cheerful barrage in the live broadcast room, Lin Wuwei stretched out his hand to his purse with a complicated expression.

·Because the dazzling flames in the camp of the Northern Flame Army were too dazzling, the news could not be blocked, and the news of the emperor's assassination and death spread quickly.The capital of the Great Wei Kingdom and the Mobei Grassland, from the whole world, are full of uproar because of this.

Officials, gentry, and Tuzong tyrants who were once suppressed by the emperor so much that they didn't dare to show their heads, immediately reveled.

They almost quickly set the posthumous title of "Li" for the emperor, and they didn't even welcome his bones back, so they wanted to finalize everything quickly.

In order to snatch the power vacuum left by Wei Lizong's death, the civil and military officials in Ziyang City didn't care about face at all. Some people even got a baby less than two years old from nowhere, and dared to pretend to be the emperor's illegitimate son. Take control of the throne.There are also people who are ambitious and want to get their hands on the military power of the Beiyan Army... Ziyang City, the highest power center of the Great Wei Dynasty, has become chaotic.Not long ago, all the officials who had worked together to fight against the emperor turned into enemies in a blink of an eye.

Yet these people ignore the existence of the other.

"Xu Yong", the leader of the investigation division, suddenly bared his fangs. The investigation division he led was like a demon sword that had lost its control, bloodbathed the entire Ziyang city overnight, but all the officials who danced happily after the death of the emperor, They were all slaughtered by him without mercy.In Ziyang City, human heads rolled and blood flowed like a river.

For a moment all horses were silent.

Ziyang City, east of the city.Inside a low-key mansion.

A young man was sitting in a gazebo by the edge of the garden, in front of him was a half-open chessboard.He holds white in one hand and black in the other, and moves quickly, as if he doesn't need to spend time thinking.

"Mr. Xu really likes to live and relax!"

At this time, a voice came from behind him, the cold voice was like the collision of metal.

The hand of the young man surnamed Xu who was about to drop his hand suddenly stopped, he sighed and raised his head.A figure slowly entered his line of sight.

Wearing the official uniform of the head of the investigation department, with a stern and expressionless face... Xue Hai held the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand, and stared at him with unclear eyes, which seemed to hide a joke.

"What? Are you still waiting for news from Mobei? Then there's no need!" He spit out such a sentence, and did not look at the young man's sudden change of expression, "After all, the Youxian King of Beiyuan is already in danger."

Before he finished speaking, the young man in the pavilion suddenly got up.The chess piece in his hand rolled down on the table, disrupting the orderly chessboard.

But now he couldn't care less, and asked eagerly: "...Is this really true?"

"Why do I have to lie to you?" Xue Hai remained expressionless, "It's just a doomed prisoner."

He waved his hand towards the booth.

Only then did the young man notice that at some point, a group of inspectors' embroidered clothes guards had poured into the mansion.After receiving Xue Hai's instructions, this group of people rushed out like hungry wolves, and quickly cleaned up the entire mansion. The people in the mansion were tied up with hemp ropes and strung together into a long string. Walk.

The owner of this mansion is no exception.

The young man didn't resist either. After the confusion caused by Xue Hai's words gradually calmed down, he calmly adjusted his clothes, turned around, and let these people put the shackles on him.After all, he has long been aware of the winner and loser.

The only thing that puzzled him was that although he was ordered by the Righteous King to lurk in Wei, secretly stir up troubles, and even used countless Wei officials who hated the emperor to lead the assassination... But from the beginning In the end, he never revealed his identity in front of anyone. How did the people from the investigation department find him so quickly?

Thinking this way, he opened his mouth: "... I don't know if Commander Xu can tell me what went wrong?"

"Your calculations are not wrong." Xue Hai shook his head, "It's a pity that His Majesty planned everything as early as the beginning. You are just one of the pawns to promote the completion of the plan."

Now that the dust has settled, the chess pieces will naturally also be cleaned up.

"...Your Majesty?" The young man's complexion changed, and even his voice became abnormal due to eagerness, "Emperor Hongwu is not dead?"

"If His Majesty is not dead, how dare those jumping clowns come out to rebel? How dare Bei Yuan take advantage of the fire? Don't attract all the ghosts and monsters—" Xue Hai's face remained unchanged, and he asked a series of rhetorical questions.

"...When should His Majesty wait until these internal and external troubles can be wiped out in one fell swoop, and the universe can be completely clarified?"

• Time moves forward a few days.

Mobei, the night the emperor was assassinated, outside Pingyang Pass.

At dusk, a large army was advancing rapidly on the grassland, and the chilling momentum alarmed the birds who had returned late. Soon, this army took cover not far from Yumen Pass.

Looking at the armors on the soldiers that obviously have the style of grassland tribes, this is clearly the Northern Yuan army that is said to have fled hundreds of miles away.

The night was getting darker, and the cold wind of the autumn night in the north was like a knife, and a thin layer of frost had even formed on the shoulders of many soldiers.A figure finally arrived at the location of the Chinese army after going through numerous tests of strict defense, and met the commander of this army, Tu She, Youxian King of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

"Report! Lord Youxian, the latest information from Pingyang Pass. The plan is going well, and the emperor of Wei has been assassinated and killed."

The visitor lowered his voice and handed over the silk script sent by Xi Zuo.

The Youxian King Tu She, who was sitting behind the table, stood up all of a sudden, and eagerly unfolded it: "Okay, okay, great!"

He was tall and burly, with a light bronze complexion, his face was like many men in the Northern Yuan Dynasty with beards, and his hair was tied into small braids. When he stood up, the tent was filled with an extremely oppressive aura all day long.

Looking at the news in his hand, Tu She was very excited, he finally waited for a golden opportunity.And this opportunity was created by himself.

The next few confidantes also knew about Tu She's plan, so they looked at each other and laughed.Praise Youxian Wang for his wisdom.

Tu She immediately made up his mind: "Send the order, the army will move out and raid Pingyang Pass!"

The silently dormant Beiyuan army surged like a dark tide. Tu She looked at the back of the vanguard army who had gone far away, imagining the bright future of breaking through Pingyang and conquering the Great Wei, and he was in high spirits for a while.

"This time I must prove to the old guys in the clan that even if I have half the blood of the Wei people, I, Tu She, am the best candidate to inherit the throne!"

……

"Your Majesty, how can you be sure that the one who will come this time will be Tu She, Youxian King of the Northern Yuan Dynasty?"

At the same time, in Pingyang Pass, Lin Wuwei couldn't hold back his curiosity after all, and asked.

Chu Si didn't answer but instead asked, "How much do you know about Bei Yuan's situation?"

"I don't know much about this. The predecessor of Beiyuan was the alien race in Mobei. In the past hundreds of years, these alien races fought on their own. It is said that they often robbed each other of cattle, sheep and population. The rise of the Great Chanyu not only unified the tribes in Mobei, but also modeled the establishment of our country in the Central Plains..."

Speaking of this, Lin Wuwei couldn't help sighing.

"That Great Chanyu is truly a remarkable figure! If he hadn't been seriously ill and died young, I'm afraid the Great Wei today would have ceased to exist."

Chu Si nodded and said, "That's right. It's a pity that his successor, the current Xiongnu Shanyu, doesn't have such ability and courage..."

Ten years ago, when the Northern Yuan invaded the South, the Great Wei ceded the land to pay compensation and even sent the prince as a hostage, and finally reached a reconciliation.

And the Xiongnu Shanyu, who ruthlessly slaughtered Wei, seemed to have realized something, and gradually began to indulge in all kinds of luxury enjoyment from the southern kingdom. From time to time, he asked Wei to blackmail him. Zhong Xiaoming has already forgotten the ambition of wanting to occupy the Central Plains.

A large number of Beiyuan high-level officials also began to be greedy for comfort.

But in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, after all, there were still a group of main fighters running up and down, and their leader was Youxian King Tushe.The blood of the Wei people in him is his biggest disadvantage in competing for the throne, unless he can thoroughly prove himself - with the blood of countless Wei people and a feat that shocks the world.

Chu Si clarified the internal situation of Beiyuan in a few words, even the private activities of the officials of the main war faction and the main peace faction.

Lin Wuwei listened attentively, and was amazed at Chu Si's intelligence ability. I really don't know how much Beiyuan has been infiltrated by him?

"Think about the Tongyuan Chamber of Commerce..." Chu Si reminded.

Lin Wuwei suddenly realized: "So that's the case."

The so-called Tongyuan Chamber of Commerce was secretly established by Chu Si.Afterwards, the rebel army rose all the way, and the rice grain and silver money it consumed was secretly supported by the Tongyuan Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, the Tongyuan Chamber of Commerce can be said to be the most important purse of the rebel army.This is also one of the reasons why Chu Si is not worried about the rebel army getting out of control.

Before that, Lin Wuwei had also heard that the Tongyuan Chamber of Commerce had been taking the upper-class route, dumping all kinds of luxury treasures between the dignitaries of the two countries, and became one of the world's most famous chambers of commerce in a short period of time.It's just that Chu Si took advantage of the opportunity of doing business to quietly infiltrate the intelligence network into Beiyuan.

With no doubts about Chu Si's information, Lin Wuwei looked eager to try: "Since that Youxian King is coming, then we will teach him a lesson!"

"No rush. Now is not the time for the rebels to come out."

Chu Si's expression was calm, and he slowly outlined a smile. Under the moonlight, that unmasked face had a heart-wrenching charm.

"...Wait until the prey has completely fallen into the trap before closing the net."

·That night, when the entire Pingyang Pass was in a panic due to the death of the emperor, the army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, led by Youxian King Tu She, made a surprise attack.

The general of the Pingyang Pass guard who had known Chu Si's other identity for a long time, stood up to stabilize the morale of the army and ordered all the people to evacuate in time.

With the meticulous work of King Youxian placed in Pingyang Pass, the Beiyuan army was in full swing, and the general guarding the pass led the remaining Beiyan army to retreat all the way south-this was because the sudden attack caught the generals of the Beiyan army by surprise, and the other On the one hand, it is the deliberate weakness of the generals of the Pingyang Pass Guards.

All in all, the result presented before the eyes of the world is that the emperor was assassinated and killed, the great Wei army was leaderless, the Northern Yuan army was staring at it, the Pingyang Pass was broken overnight, and the Wei army fled south in a hurry... It seemed that the entire Wei country was about to be exposed to the Northern Yuan sword again. Next, repeat the nightmare ten years ago.

When the Northern Yuan Dynasty invaded, countless cities were bloodbathed, men, women and children were all taken into captivity, but all the older people can still remember it clearly, and the unstoppable panic began to spread southward from Pingyang Pass.As a result, along the route of Beiyuan's march, the city lords of several cities fled south with their people, leaving only one empty city after another for Beiyuan.

Secretly, strands of rebel armies that had been active all over the country began to gather towards the north.For the first time, the leader of the rebel army who rarely showed his face in front of the world came from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.This young leader, who seemed not to be as weak as the crown, led the rebel army to the front line of resisting Beiyuan silently.

After several months of more than ten battles, large and small, it seemed that the rebel army integrated from the people was still not as powerful as the Northern Yuan army, and had to retreat step by step.

And the Northern Yuan army, who had been dazzled by the victories along the way, obviously lost their original caution.

When they stepped into an empty city once again, they were no longer as vigilant as they were the first few times, but laughed loudly at the timidity of the Wei people.As a result, he stepped into a death trap and was ambushed by rebels who suddenly appeared.In the end, King Youxian led the Chinese army to break out of the siege regardless of the cost, while most of the remaining Northern Yuan army was besieged in the city.

However, all the warehouses in the city had been emptied in advance, and these people had to choose between starving to death or surrendering.In the end, the rebel army took nearly [-] prisoners.

In order to prevent these people from rioting, the leader of the rebel army followed Wei Lizong's method of treating the barbarians, scattered them and distributed them to various places to build river embankments, build plank roads, and mine veins, becoming a group of cheapest labor.

For a time, the prestige of the rebel army, which was widely loved by the people, was unprecedentedly high. In the anticipation of countless people, the young leader named Xue Jiu responded to the people's aspirations, determined to become king, and called himself King of Qi.

The king of Qi took in the Beiyan army who had defected after being "broken", and together with the original rebel army, integrated into a Qi army of 30.All the way to kill Youxian King, deep into the grassland.

·Mobei Grassland, wind and frost.The cold wind in the deep winter is like a piercing steel knife, and it hurts people when it blows.The fleeing Northern Yuan army braved the boundless wind and snow and finally found a place to set up camp before sunset.

"Cough! Cough cough! Cough cough cough..."

A series of uncontrollable coughs rang out in the large tent of the Chinese army, the right virtuous king Tu She's chest heaved violently, and his complexion was blue and white.

"...Youxian King!"

The guards around him immediately stepped forward worriedly, and were about to speak to call the shaman accompanying the army.But Tu She waved his hand and refused.

He picked up the letter that the scouts in the army had just delivered, only glanced at it, and then fell heavily on the ground.

"The food road was attacked again, and the food and grass were robbed! How many times has this happened!"

This way of fleeing north, the Qi army always seemed to know their route well, and even specially sent a cavalry to attack the grain road anytime and anywhere. I don't know how many times they robbed the grain and grass of the Beiyuan army, causing the Beiyuan army to freeze from time to time. hungry.

And the leader of that cavalry was actually Lin Wuwei who successfully assassinated Wei Lizong with the cooperation of King Youxian.This made King Youxian have to suspect that everything he did was to make a wedding dress for the righteous army.

You know, the last time Lin Wuwei was able to successfully enter Wei Lizong's camp, but he sacrificed countless meticulous work in exchange for the results.

——If Tu She knew the truth, not only those meticulous sacrifices were unnecessary, even the bounty he paid would be divided by half by Chu Si, I'm afraid he would really vomit blood.

Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, various thoughts in Tu She's mind kept colliding.He knew very well that in the current situation there must be spies. If he could not be found out, sooner or later his army would be cut to death by the Qi army.

Just as he was thinking about how to find out the spies, the messenger from the Northern Yuan royal court rushed over in the wind and snow, and threw out the edict of the Great Chanyu as soon as they met.

Listening to the messenger read the decree word by word, Tu She stood there in a daze, almost unable to recover.

The edict was harsh and almost harsh. It not only reprimanded him for his various crimes, but also ordered him to return to the capital immediately without delay.As for the command of the army, it is handed over to its lieutenant general.This lieutenant-general was a chess piece that the main peace faction had placed in the army to check and balance him.

Seeing that Tu She the Righteous King did not move for a long time, the fat messenger rubbed his frozen fingers and frowned imperceptibly: "The Righteous King, you still haven't accepted the order!"

His voice became more and more severe: "Could it be that you, King Youxian, want to disobey the order of the Great Chanyu? Then you have to think clearly about the consequences!"

Tu She, the Right Wise King who stood in a daze for a long while, had no choice but to hang his head helplessly.After receiving the decree, his tall body slumped in an instant, and his face finally turned gray.

"General!"

Inside Pingyang Pass, in the palace of the city lord.With the boy's lazy voice, a chess piece fell, and the whole chess game finally came to an end.

"Another dish?" Chu Si's tone was bored, obviously not very interested in such things as abusing food.

Xue Hai smiled wryly and waved his hands.I have to admit that I really don't have the talent in this area.

After bloodbathing Ziyang, he went straight north and came here.When Lin Wuwei was ambushing the Northern Yuan army in the freezing weather, Xue Hai and Chu Si stayed in the warm city lord's mansion, playing chess happily.

——However, maybe let Lin Wuwei, a militant, choose for himself, and he also prefers the current arrangement.

"Report!"

A voice sounded.

Chu Si put away the chess game, looked at the person who hurried in, and took the sealed bamboo tube from the opponent's hand.

"Hmm... Bei Yuan's messenger finally arrived?" He was thoughtful, with a slight smile on his lips, "It seems that this war will end soon."

After suffering a loss at the hands of Chu Si, Tu She is now extremely vigilant, even if the grain road is constantly being harassed, he will not attack rashly.It is obvious that they want to continue to maneuver by taking advantage of the geographical advantage on the grassland, and look for an opportunity to counterattack.

Even though the confrontation continued like this, Chu Si was confident of victory, but marching on the deep winter grassland was also a very serious test for the soldiers, and if there were too many casualties as a result, it was definitely not what he wanted.It's better to think of another way.

So the members of Tongyuan Chamber of Commerce in Beiyuan acted quickly.It's just that there were more rumors about Tu She's attempt to control the military power, and he paid a lot of money to buy the important ministers of the peace-seeking faction and the cronies of Beiyuan Shanyu, and everything after that was easy.

"The strongest fortress is often disintegrated from the inside..." Xue Hai somehow suddenly remembered the words Chu Si had said, and couldn't help feeling a little sarcasm in his heart.

Unsurprisingly, Tu She, the Right Wise King, was recalled to the royal court soon. The new commander-in-chief was completely different from Tu She, who was determined to lead the battle. Just because he couldn't bear Lin Wuwei's repeated provocations, he attacked rashly and fell into Chu Si's trap.

During this battle, the army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was either killed or captured, and the number of young and middle-aged people in the country dropped sharply. It was no longer able to organize a large-scale army within ten years, and the threat of the alien race in Mobei to the Central Plains was temporarily lifted.

King Qi's class returned home, and countless people along the way welcomed him.Especially in the former capital city of Wei State, those officials who survived Xue Hai's butcher's knife were ready to move again.

... The current situation can be clearly seen by anyone with a discerning eye.King Qi is well-known at home and abroad, and has an army of 30 in his hands. Sooner or later, he will ascend to the supreme position.Why don't they take the initiative to board this boat and make a contribution from the dragon?

Moreover, given King Qi's reputation among the people for loving the people like a son, this man must be completely different from that moody tyrant, and should be a benevolent and generous lord.

Thinking of this, these rainbow fart skill max officials immediately drafted a petition together, requesting that the "kind, generous and loving people like a son" King Qi be enthroned as emperor as soon as possible, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world.

In March of the following year, the king of Qi finally gave up his kindness, and led his army to Ziyang, preparing to hold a grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

A group of officials from the former dynasty got up before dawn and went out of the city ten miles to welcome them.

When King Qi's convoy approached slowly, they immediately rushed forward with joy, and a young man dressed in royal clothes appeared in front of them.The awe-inspiring aura made people lower their heads involuntarily.

All the officials trembled subconsciously: ...the Yazi who looks so familiar, Orz feels a little weak in his legs for some reason.

Could it be... this is the legendary air of the emperor?
