This is your world

Chapter 712 Assassination of Prince Zhaonan

Prefect's Mansion!

In the inner courtyard, in the lobby.

The mid-autumn breeze in the courtyard outside the hall is bleak and cold.

A warm fire burned in the hall, illuminating the surroundings.

At this time, standing in front of Li Beifeng was a pink and tender girl.

She was blinking her slightly curious and excited eyes, looking up and down at Li Beifeng.

"elder brother?"

Li Beifeng looked at the cute little girl in front of him and was filled with emotion. He chuckled and said, "Yao Yao!"

"Brother? It's really you!"

The little girl's eyes suddenly brightened, and she ran to Li Beifeng with excitement, and said coquettishly: "Brother, where have you been? Why haven't you come to see Yaoyao for a long time?"

The pink and cute little girl in front of him was the little girl Li Beifeng had treated when he was in Lijiacun.

Later, in Chaoyang County, he realized that Yaoyao had been poisoned and saved her life!

In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed!

In more than a year, this little girl has grown up a lot.

"Brother went to do some important things. If he doesn't come back now, will he come to see you?"

Li Beifeng chuckled lightly, with a hint of doting in his eyes.

Perhaps after becoming a father, Li Beifeng's mood changed a lot. Seeing this adorable little girl in front of me, I seemed to anticipate how Qi Ling would grow up in the future.

She should be as cute as Yaoyao, right?

"Yao Yao, don't be rude to your brother!"

Just when Yaoyao was pestering Li Beifeng to tell him some interesting things outside, a voice came.

Li Beifeng looked up and saw a beautiful young woman walking slowly and scolded softly.

"Mother~"

Yaoyao then stuck out her cute little tongue and trotted back to her mother.

"Meet Madam!"

Li Beifeng cupped his hands and said, the young woman in front of him is Yaoyao's mother.

"Master Li, I made you laugh!"

Mrs. Chen sighed softly: "Yao Yao has caused trouble for you!"

"Madam, Yaoyao is very cute!"

Li Beifeng chuckled and said, "It would be great if my daughter could be as cute as Yaoyao in the future!"

Mrs. Chen was startled: "Master Li, do you already have a daughter?"

"yes!"

Li Beifeng nodded, his face full of doting.

"Why haven't you heard Mr. Li mention it?"

Mrs. Chen asked doubtfully: "When did Mr. Li get married?"

"We're not married yet!"

Mrs. Chen was stunned, not married yet?

Have a daughter?

Isn't this...

"It's hard to describe in words!"

Li Beifeng sighed. He already had children, but they were not married yet. If word of this spread, he might be in trouble.

Mrs. Chen was slightly startled, but then a smile quickly appeared on her face: "I see, when Mr. Li gets married, do you want to inform him so that I can congratulate Mr. Li?"

Li Beifeng smiled and said: "If there is a chance, I will definitely do it.

The two exchanged simple greetings, and Mrs. Chen realized that Li Beifeng had something important to do, and then left with Yaoyao in her arms.

Li Beifeng walked out of the lobby and glanced at the backyard not far away.

Not long after, Zhao Ying appeared in the backyard.

She walked over slowly and coldly, and glanced at Li Beifeng.

"How's it going?"

Li Beifeng asked.

"Um."

Zhao Ying nodded slightly coldly, with a strange look in her eyes, and walked towards the door.

Then, Chen Yannan's figure appeared from the backyard.

"uncle!"

When Chen Yannan saw Li Beifeng, a strange look appeared on his face.

Li Beifeng subconsciously asked: "Uncle and the eldest princess, have they reached an agreement?"

A look of admiration appeared on Chen Yannan's face: "The eldest princess is extremely intelligent and well-deserved for her beauty and talent. I admire her endlessly!"

As if remembering something, Chen Yannan said excitedly: "With the help of the eldest princess, I, Da Zhao, can be saved!"

The current war in Nanzhou is Chen Yannan's biggest headache right now. Once Nanzhou falls, he will become the sinner of Dazhao.

At this moment, the eldest princess and Li Beifeng arrived and gave Chen Yannan a chance of survival!

Li Beifeng said: "Uncle, I need more help from you on this matter!"

Whether the assassination of Prince Zhaonan can be successful and whether he can escape completely depends on Chen Yannan's assistance.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to assist the eldest princess!"

Chen Yannan's eyes were firm. The eldest princess secretly came to Nanzhou this time to solve the rebellion of Prince Zhaonan. As a minister of Zhaonan, he would do his best to cooperate.

"In that case, I will come back to my uncle to discuss the details later. For now, I won't disturb your uncle!"

Li Beifeng raised his hands and prepared to leave.

Contacting Chen Yannan was a step in Li Beifeng's plan.

He and Chen Yannan had already been on good terms with each other, and their relationship was not shallow. Coupled with the status of the eldest princess, the plan naturally went smoothly. With Chen Yannan's help, the assassination of Prince Zhaonan has a good chance of success.

But even so, you still have to be careful.

"Stay!"

At this time, Chen Yannan suddenly called out to Li Beifeng again.

Li Beifeng stopped: "Uncle, is there anything else?"

Chen Yannan looked at Li Beifeng quietly, as if he had thought of something, and said in a deep voice: "Eldest Princess, are you pregnant?"

Li Beifeng was startled, but then nodded: "That's right!"

Now that Zhao Ying's pregnancy has been highlighted, it is not a strange thing to be seen.

"The eldest princess is actually pregnant?!"

When he realized this, Chen Yannan looked very shocked, but he had never heard of the eldest princess getting married?

As if realizing something, Chen Yannan's eyes suddenly trembled slightly, and he lowered his voice: "Beifeng, your relationship with the eldest princess...isn't it normal?"

Li Beifeng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Uncle Chen meant.

"Uncle, you misunderstood..."

Li Beifeng spoke softly.

Under the current situation, Li Beifeng naturally couldn't tell the truth about him and Zhao Ying.

Chen Yannan also guessed that the eldest princess was pregnant even though she was not married. The person accompanying the eldest princess now was Li Beifeng, which made him guess something.

Seeing Li Beifeng's denial, he didn't think much about it. He nodded slightly and warned: "In this case, the eldest princess is pregnant, you must take good care of and protect the eldest princess, and be sure not to make any mistakes!"

"Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of the princess!"

Li Beifeng nodded, and after some more pleasantries, he left the prefect's mansion.

In the courtyard, Chen Yannan stood there and remained silent for a long time.

Behind him, Mrs. Chen appeared slowly, came to the yard, glanced at him, and said worriedly: "What's wrong? Are you still worried about the rebels?"

"As long as the rebellion is not quelled, I will feel uneasy!"

Chen Yannan sighed for a long time: "Seeing the families of my Nanzhou people being destroyed, I feel heartbroken but there is nothing I can do..."

Mrs. Chen knew that her husband was worried, and she sighed softly: "This is not something you can bear alone. If the Jokhang court doesn't do anything, what can you do?"

"By the way, why did the eldest princess come here suddenly? Could it be..."

"Madam, please don't spread this matter, don't let anyone know about it!"

Chen Yannan's face was slightly calm and he said solemnly: "Whether Dazhao can quell the rebellion depends on this time!"

"..."

Li Beifeng walked out of the prefect's mansion and was about to leave when he saw a man in white clothes standing quietly under the eaves of a tree not far away.

He was startled for a moment, then smiled and walked closer.

"Are you waiting for me here?"

Looking at Zhao Ying's cold face, she stayed here. What else was she doing if she wasn't waiting for him?

Zhao Ying said nothing, turned and left expressionlessly.

Li Beifeng raised his lips slightly and immediately followed her footsteps.

The two of them were one behind and one body apart.

"With the help of Governor Chen, we can divert Prince Zhaonan's attention and create opportunities for you and me to assassinate Prince Zhaonan. This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."

Li Beifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

This part of the plan is basically much safer.

Zhao Ying suddenly stopped, glanced back at him, and then said calmly: "The imperial army was completely defeated in Nanzhou. Even with the help of Governor Chen, there is still a question whether they can withstand it!"

"I have a solution for this, so you don't have to worry too much!"

The corners of Li Beifeng's mouth raised slightly, with a confident smile.

Zhao Ying frowned slightly and glanced at him slightly suspiciously: "What can I do?"

"You'll know then!"

Li Beifeng kept it secret and didn't tell her.

Zhao Ying just remained silent for a moment, said nothing, and continued walking forward.

The two walked through the bustling streets and did not return to Qintiansi. Instead, they came to the city wall of the county city.

Across the city wall, looking at the deserted distance outside Chaoyang County, Zhao Ying had a lot of thoughts.

This most prosperous city in Nanzhou seems to be in trouble now.

Whether you can break the situation is now!

Li Beifeng stood side by side with her, looking into the distance for a long time.

"The war will come soon!"

Li Beifeng murmured to himself, turning to look at Zhao Ying's delicate and flawless profile beside him. The cold wind blew up the black hair on her temples, revealing her fair and flawless pretty face.

At this moment, Zhao Ying, standing on the city wall, looked like that arrogant and beautiful fairy!

Li Beifeng stared at such a stunning scene and was stunned for a long time.

I have been with Zhao Ying for a long time, and most of the time I am used to her stunning appearance. But occasionally, I will still be shocked.

What's more, can you imagine that the woman in front of you, who is all-powerful and has a particularly cold and outstanding temperament, will be pregnant with his child?

When he thought of this, for some reason, Li Beifeng suddenly felt an indescribable sense of pride.

As if aware of Li Beifeng's burning gaze, Zhao Ying turned her head and looked into his eyes.

After a moment, a hint of shame and anger suddenly emerged from her eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

A cold voice.

"Look at you!"

Li Beifeng answered truthfully.

The flawless white skin, as smooth as jade, had a faint crimson sheen.

Zhao Ying turned around and walked to the side.

"Where are you going?" Li Beifeng asked.

no answer.

The pretty shadow gradually disappeared into the distance.

The corners of Li Beifeng's lips raised, and then he seemed to think of something, glanced at the distance outside the city, and murmured: "It's time to make a plan!"

In Chaoyang County City, there were many soldiers and soldiers quietly inside, without attracting anyone's attention.

Nanzhou fell into war, and the deployment of troops did not attract anyone's attention.

These soldiers seemed to have received some order. After staying in Chaoyang County for four or five days, they quietly left the city.

No one knows where they went, and their purpose is unknown.

And on the seventh day, an inconspicuous carriage also left the city. Follow the official road all the way south!

The late autumn wind is getting colder!

In Nanzhou, the atmosphere became increasingly tense, shrouded in a shadow, making people shudder.

There was a war ahead, with the imperial army and the rebels confronting each other, with collisions occurring everywhere in Nanzhou.

Gun smoke filled the air, and the smell of blood filled the air.

After a short break, many people were lying in the makeshift tents, their faces covered in blood, their bodies dirty, and they looked dazed and numb.

War is cruel!

Watching the comrades around me lose their lives without knowing when, watching the people around me die one by one... These people who were originally full of fear or expectation for the war gradually began to become numb, like zombies, and became war machines. , until he fell down and died.

The war is still going on and we don’t know when it will stop.

Not far away, the horn of war sounded again!

Suddenly, a new round of war started again.

Behind them, dozens of miles away, is the rebel base camp.

In the camp, Prince Zhaonan stood in front of the sand table, frowning and silent.

"Recently, the imperial army suddenly launched a fierce offensive against us. At the same time, several figures of unknown origin appeared in Nanzhou and sneaked into the rear of our army. Their whereabouts have not yet been captured, but I am afraid that their purpose is not simple... …”

Listening to the report from the military advisor on the side, Prince Zhaonan's beautiful eyes were filled with suspicion.

Why did the imperial army, which had been retreating steadily and showing fatigue, suddenly attack violently?

The military advisor said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the public opinion in the world is not favorable to us at the moment. Since they take the initiative this time, shouldn't we speed up?"

"If you continue to delay, things may change!"

Prince Zhaonan remained silent, then shook his head: "No need!"

"The Jokhang court is already empty, and they are just trying to hold on. This counterattack is probably just a test and a deterrent, a bluff. As far as I know, the army at the front of the court is already stretched thin!"

Prince Zhaonan's eyes shone with excitement: "I have the support of all the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as I continue to fight against the imperial court, the imperial court will be completely defeated in less than half a year!"

So what if Emperor Zhao is ‘resurrected’?

Now that he has reached this point, what can he change even if he is still alive?

As long as it continues to be delayed and the war lasts for half a year, or even just a few months, the imperial army will inevitably collapse.

When the military advisor heard this, he frowned slightly.

Judging from the current situation, this is indeed the case. The internal treasury of the Jokhang court is empty and it can no longer support the war. Coupled with the continuous collection of taxes, it has caused great dissatisfaction among the people.

It would indeed be beneficial for them to continue to delay.

but……

"Do they have any backup plans?"

The military advisor said vaguely uneasily: "Emperor Zhao is not someone who just sits back and waits for death. It has been more than a month since he deposed Zhao Jing, but there has been no response. This is very unusual..."

Prince Zhaonan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought for a moment.

This is indeed what worries him!

He knew his royal brother very well, he was thoughtful and powerful!

Back then, he fell into the hands of the imperial brother.

Now, there can be no second time!

"Dazhao is now in a dead end. Even if he has the Dazhao Iron Cavalry, he can't do anything to me!"

Prince Zhaonan's slightly cold eyes said: "He wants to win against me unless..."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps approaching from outside the door.

"Your Majesty!"

"Chief, the eldest princess is here!"

As soon as these words came out, the expression of the military counselor in the camp changed slightly: "Why is she here again?!"

The light in Prince Zhaonan's eyes flashed and then disappeared.

Sure enough!
