This is your world

Western suburbs!

More than thirty miles away from the capital, there is a manor.

The manor covers an area of ​​nearly 100 acres, surrounded by mountains and rivers. There is a towering cliff in the manor. On the cliff, as if entering the sky, a waterfall like a silver snake flows down.

In the early morning, smoke curled up halfway up the mountain, almost blocking out the sun.

Under the cliff, the birds are singing, the flowers are fragrant, and the jungle is lush, just like a paradise.

This is a manor with beautiful scenery and an excellent place for vacation and summer vacation.

No one knows who the owner is behind this manor. They just vaguely remember that this manor has been closed since last year.

But this morning, this manor, which had been closed for a long time, quietly opened to the public.

Along the road outside the manor, many masters can be seen hiding among them, and even the air seems to be a little more nervous.

Inside the manor.

The towering waterfall fell from the cliff and hit the bluestone lake, splashing water all over the sky.

The rumbling sound enveloped the world. Around the waterfall, there are overgrown weeds, the water is clear, and everything is growing.

This scene is extremely spectacular and beautiful.

On the lake not far from the waterfall, there is a three-story loft.

The loft decoration is beautiful and extremely exquisite!

At this time, just above the third floor, a figure sat quietly in front of the window, looking at the beautiful scenery not far away, and exclaimed: "It's really beautiful!"

The person who spoke was none other than Li Beifeng.

He quietly stared at the scenery under the waterfall, so spectacular.

In his mind, the magnificent words of a certain poet immortal, "Flying down three thousand feet", could not help but come to mind.

It's really not a lie!

"Sir, people are here!"

At this moment, a figure flashed past from outside the attic.

Li Beifeng suppressed the relaxed smile in his eyes and glanced at the lake with squinted eyes.

Not far away, several figures came slowly.

"coming!"

Li Beifeng spoke calmly.

…

In the manor, a young man in brocade clothes strolled over.

Beside him was another young man. The two followed each other step by step, walking slowly.

The young man following behind him glanced around the manor, as if remembering some distant memory, with a hint of haze in his eyes.

The young man in brocade clothes slowly stopped, raised his head, and looked towards the attic room on the lake not far away.

Vaguely, I seemed to see a familiar figure.

"Wait for me here!"

Zhao Jing spoke slowly.

He Jing, who was following him, was stunned: "Your Majesty, you..."

He glanced around worriedly. There was hidden murderous intent in this seemingly peaceful manor. He was worried about His Majesty's safety.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!!"

Zhao Jing spoke calmly, then flicked his sleeves and walked towards the attic.

Not long after, he came to the lake, followed the promenade on the lake to the attic, and went upstairs!

The attic room filled with sandalwood curls was filled with a refreshing scent.

When Zhao Jing went up to the third floor, he saw that familiar figure at the third floor window.

At this moment, the two looked at each other.

Time seemed to be frozen in silence.

for a long time!

No one spoke.

The scene seemed to be frozen in time forever, and this moment kept going back and forth between the two of them.

"Brother Li, long time no see!"

Finally, it was Zhao Jing who broke the silence.

A smile appeared on his face.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

A smile also appeared on Li Beifeng's face.

The two of them were like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time, meeting again after a long absence, with sincere smiles on their faces and a strong friendship filling the air...

Everything seemed so peaceful!

"Brother Zhao, sit down!"

"Brother Li, please!"

"..."

In the attic room, a table of wine and food has been set up, all delicious and delicious.

The two of them sat for a long time, with long-lost nostalgic looks on their faces.

"We said goodbye to the capital in the past. Counting the time, I haven't seen Brother Li for several months. Now that I see you again, Brother Li is still as heroic as ever!"

Zhao Jing sighed with a smile.

Li Beifeng smiled and said: "Yes, I didn't expect that after seeing Brother Zhao for so many years, things would be different..."

The two 'old friends' who had not seen each other for a long time burst out with a particularly warm friendship at this moment. We meet again after a long absence, and we exchange cups for cups.

The two of them never mentioned anything else, and reminiscing about the past became the current theme.

"I still vaguely remember the scene when I first met Brother Li in Chaoyang County. It was also under such an environment!"

When changing cups, Zhao Jing's face seemed to be a little drunker. He looked at Li Beifeng and couldn't help but sigh: "It's been so long in the blink of an eye!"

"It's all over. It's not easy to see Brother Zhao again now!"

Li Beifeng glanced at him and chuckled: "It's a rare thing to be able to have a drink and chat with Brother Zhao again!"

"yes!"

Zhao Jing's face seemed to have a murmuring expression. He looked at Li Beifeng, his eyes gradually becoming complicated.

After a while, he sighed deeply: "Only now do I understand why Brother Li was unwilling in the first place!"

Li Beifeng looked indifferently and did not speak.

Zhao Jing sighed: "I kindly invited Brother Li to join me many times, but Brother Li refused many times. I thought that Brother Li was in love with the imperial sister and therefore did not want to be with me. Unexpectedly..."

"I didn't expect that, Brother Li, you are actually the Crown Prince of Northern Qi!"

"Brother Li, you really gave me a big surprise!"

Even if Zhao Jing wanted to break his head, he probably wouldn't have imagined that the truth would be like this.

Li Beifeng, whom he met in Chaoyang County in the past, this person who shared the same goals with him and was even extremely satisfied with him, would be the Prince of Northern Qi!

Nothing is permanent!

Life's accidents.

"Yeah, I didn't expect the truth to be like this!"

Li Beifeng said calmly: "I was also surprised when I learned about this!"

"oh?"

Zhao Jing raised his eyebrows: "How do you say this?"

Speaking of this, he added: "I'm a little curious, Brother Li, how do you know your identity?"

"Because of an accident!"

Li Beifeng sighed and slowly talked about the series of things that started with the beggar he met in Chaoyang County.

After Zhao Jing finished listening, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"So...that's actually what happened?"

Zhao Jing was in a daze, with a bit of a bitter smile on his face: "After all, I underestimated you, Brother Li. Who would have thought that? I didn't expect..."

The atmosphere between the two was extremely peaceful, yet also very strange.

The two people in front of me are the current Emperor Zhaozhao and the other is the Prince of Northern Qi.

There is a blood feud between the two countries, and now the two sides are in a war. However, right now, these two people were sitting together so calmly.

Extremely weird!

"I really admire you, Brother Li, and I don't want to be an enemy of Brother Li!"

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Jing's face became a little drunker. He looked at Li Beifeng and spoke seriously.

There was something indescribably strange in his eyes when he looked at Li Beifeng. From the first time he met Li Beifeng, he admired him very much.

"I know!"

Li Beifeng's eyes were calm: "But there are some things that are not decided by you and me. Because of our identities, we are destined not to be friends!"

"yes!"

Zhao Jing sighed.

They can't be friends, they can only be mortal enemies.

"So……"

Zhao Jing's eyes suddenly became sharp and sharp at this moment: "Brother Li, what is your purpose of coming back here this time?"

"Brother Zhao, isn't it already clear what my purpose is?"

Li Beifeng glanced at him and said calmly: "Right now, we all have a common enemy!"

Zhao Jing's eyes gradually darkened little by little.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Li Beifeng with a serious expression.

"You know very well that you, Northern Qi, are my Dazhao's biggest enemy!"

Zhao Jing said in a deep voice: "I can't tolerate your existence in Northern Qi!"

Li Beifeng raised his eyebrows lightly and said meaningfully: "Then you can tolerate the throne that you finally obtained by killing your father and regicide being taken away by your uncle?"

Zhao Jing's eyes flashed with gloom for a moment: "Uncle Huang is my Zhao family member after all!"

"You, the Zhao family, have nothing to do with me, but..."

Li Beifeng said calmly: "Since you came to see me today, don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Zhao Jing was silent.

The originally harmonious atmosphere gradually became dull at this time.

Li Beifeng's eyes were relaxed. At the moment, the initiative was in his hands.

Now that Dazhao is facing a crisis, Zhao Jing must make a choice.

Zhao Jing was silent for a long time, looked up at Li Beifeng, and suddenly asked: "What do you want from Beiqi?"

Li Beifeng said calmly: "Take back everything that belongs to us!"

"Just that?"

Zhao Jing frowned. He stared at Li Beifeng's face and said in a deep voice, "You have been preparing for Beiqi for more than ten years, just for Beizhou?"

"if not?"

Zhao Jing didn't say anything, he didn't believe it!

He didn't believe that Beiqi's ambition was just that.

As if he could read Zhao Jing's thoughts, Li Beifeng shook his head: "You, Zhao, have spent more than ten years proving that the invasion was a wrong war. Now, why should I, Northern Qi, repeat the same mistake?"

"We just want to get back what belongs to us, that's all!"

Li Beifeng naturally knew that Zhao Jing was worried about something.

If the Northern Qi Dynasty becomes stronger and after taking Beizhou, it will target the Zhongzhou of Dazhao. What will happen to Dazhao then?

Zhao Jing was silent!

Judging from the current situation, the destruction of Northern Qi was once the most proud achievement of my father's life. But now with the chaos in Beizhou, it has been confirmed how wrong the father's original choice was.

"Actually, no matter what you choose, you can no longer prevent the restoration of Northern Qi!"

Seeing Zhao Jing's silence, Li Beifeng shook his head slightly and said calmly: "Now that you have long lost control of the situation in Beizhou, who is the only person you can rely on now? He Wansheng?"

"Don't forget who He Wansheng belongs to!"

Zhao Jing's eyes and pupils shrank, and his face became increasingly ugly.

Why doesn't he know about this?

Almost all the political and military power in Beizhou was in the hands of He Wansheng, and his father trusted him back then. Although Zhao Jing had plans to take back power after he ascended the throne, the emperor's uncle did not give him this time.

At present, Dazhao has long lost control of Beizhou. In addition, the imperial army is now too tired to deal with the rebels and has no time to take care of Beizhou.

Beizhou belongs to Dazhao in name, but in fact it has nothing to do with Dazhao.

And he couldn't stop the restoration of Northern Qi.

Right now, he may not even be able to keep his throne.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jing took a deep breath.

He stared at Li Beifeng for a long time, and finally made up his mind slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Beizhou, originally your territory of Northern Qi, I can cede half of it to you!"

"all!"

Li Beifeng interrupted Zhao Jing and shook his head: "Beizhou is the former land of Northern Qi. We want to get back everything that belongs to us!"

Zhao Jing sullenly ceded the entire Beizhou?

Although it was once the territory of Northern Qi, it now belongs to Beizhou. If he were ceded from his hands, how would he face the great Zhao ancestors!

"I can't promise you!"

Zhao Jing said in a deep voice: "The ancestors of Zhao will never forgive me!"

Li Beifeng sneered: "Did you think about this issue when you killed your father?"

Zhao Jing was silent.

"That's impossible!"

Zhao Jing refused solemnly and stared at Li Beifeng: "I can promise you not to care about Beizhou... but I can't cede Beizhou to you!"

Li Beifeng said nothing. He heard the hidden meaning in Zhao Jing's words. His attitude and words were vague and unclear.

But it was enough for Li Beifeng.

It is naturally impossible for Zhao Jing to cede Beizhou personally, but as long as it can be delayed, everything will be beneficial to Northern Qi.

As long as Northern Qi gradually grows stronger, everything will be out of his control.

"how about you!"

Zhao Jing stared at Li Beifeng again: "What can you give me?"

"I can protect you from worries!"

Li Beifeng wrote lightly: "I can guarantee that I can help you drag He Wansheng from Beizhou so that he has no time to distract and support your imperial uncle!"

Zhao Jing's heart was shocked. He stared at Li Beifeng with very complicated eyes.

Li Beifeng's words were tantamount to grabbing his Achilles heel.

At the moment, what worries him the most is undoubtedly the issue in Beizhou. It's the rising Northern Qi and He Wansheng's troops who may move south to threaten the capital at any time!

If the Northern Qi Dynasty could hold back He Wansheng's troops and free him from worries, there would be no chance of reorganizing the imperial army to suppress the rebels.

After all, the trump card in his hand has not been revealed yet...

Zhao Jing took a deep breath, but there was still a little worry in his eyes.

He said solemnly: "How can I trust you?"

Li Beifeng said calmly: "If you don't believe it, can we make a covenant?"

Zhao Jing said nothing. The so-called covenant was just waste paper and had no meaning.

"Actually, you really have no choice!"

Seeing Zhao Jing's hesitation, Li Beifeng shook his head: "Now that Dazhao is suffering from internal and external troubles, it can no longer sustain it for much longer... How many people in your court are disintegrated? How many people are ready to surrender to your uncle? Don't forget that back then, your uncle There are still many forces in the court..."

When Li Beifeng spoke, Zhao Jing's face became even more ugly.

"Given the current domestic troubles in Dazhao, I'm afraid that your imperial uncle hasn't come to the capital yet. You might wake up one day and be kidnapped outside the city to be presented to your imperial uncle... Do you believe it?"

Zhao Jing's eyes were horrified, as if he had realized something.

He did not doubt the truth of Li Beifeng's words.

Now the court has long been dispersed. If Su Xiang and others hadn't relied on their prestige to support them, I'm afraid it would have happened as he said...

"you win!"

Zhao Jing was silent for a long time, and finally said this sentence through his teeth.

With a bit of deep reluctance, but also a bit of relief!

To him, it was humiliating.

It is also the only choice after weighing many parties.

"Win-win!"

Li Beifeng said calmly, raising the wine glass in his hand: "Then wish us a happy cooperation?"

Zhao Jing's face was expressionless. He stared at Li Beifeng for a long time, and finally collapsed on the chair, muttering to himself: "Is this your purpose?"

"My purpose is much more than that!"

Li Beifeng drank a glass of wine, glanced at Zhao Jing, chuckled and shook his head: "Besides, I want to be alone!"

As if realizing something, Zhao Jing looked up.

"Wan'er!"

Li Beifeng said calmly: "I want to take her away!"
