The sunset hangs on the Maple Leaf Mountain.

There is a night wind blowing.

Xiahou Zhuo suddenly whispered, and he felt a little cold.

He looked at Ning Chuchu, grinned, and walked down from the chariot, without bringing the knife he had hung on the chariot that had followed him for many years.

He stood more than a meter away from Ning Chuchu.

He bowed respectfully, and a look of kindness appeared on his dark face at this moment.

"Your Highness, I haven't seen you for ten years!"

"Your Highness has become a man, and I see him as if the Empress is here in person. I feel so relieved."

When he finished these few words, Xiahou Zhuo seemed to have suddenly grown old.

His face no longer had the hardness and courage that he had when he conquered the four directions. His face was now a little decadent, a little lost, and a little seemed to be relieved.

Ning Chuchu is kind-hearted after all.

She seemed to remember her childhood.

Xiahou Zhuo returned to Beijing to report his work, and his mother had already passed away at that time.

In the East Palace of the Prince's Brother, he knelt down and swore to the Prince's Brother that he would guarantee the Prince's Brother to ascend the throne to the emperor!

This is his belief.

He did not change because of the death of his mother.

He firmly grasped the military power of the western border army and kept trying his best to build momentum for the prince's brother.

Even in order for the prince's brother to suppress the second emperor's brother, he gave up Jiuyin City regardless of his infamy, causing Jiuyin City to fall into the hands of the deserted people.

He thought that his father could agree to the prince's brother going to the expedition in person, and he would assist the prince's brother in regaining Jiuyin City to give the prince's brother a great military merit.

However, the father never came back in Changle Palace.

Ji Tai, a group of officials in the court, held great power and did not send the prince's brother's request to his father.

He could only hold the northern border troops tightly and look at the lost Jiuyin City from afar.

He gave up leading his troops to regain Jiuyin City because it would cause heavy losses to the soldiers in his hands.

He can't have enough soldiers!

He hopes to be able to make Ji Tai and others afraid with the soldiers he has.

His purpose was still effective, and the years his prince's brother was still stable in the East Palace.

Of course, perhaps it was the magnanimity and harmlessness revealed by the prince's brother in the East Palace that did not directly infringe on the interests of Ji Tai and others.

Or maybe Ji Tai was waiting for an opportunity.

The prince's brother died in the Kyoto change last year. He left Yanyun Pass with 30,000 elite soldiers...

This is the crime of treason!

But he still did that.

Just to avenge the prince's brother.

He believed that Li Chenan had the greatest benefits in the Kyoto Incident. He believed that the prince's brother died at the hands of Li Chenan... or died because of Li Chenan.

He believed that the culprit was Li Chen'an, so after hearing that Li Chen'an was going to Shuzhou through Jiangnan, he led his troops without hesitation.

Did he do something wrong?

If we look at the national justice, if the deserter seized that front-line fighter and really captured Yanyun Pass... he would bear the infamy forever!

But if you look at it from the perspective of loyalty to your master as a slave, he will undoubtedly fulfill his duties of loyalty and righteousness.

He kept his promise to his mother and the prince's brother, and even if he was infatuated for a lifetime, he would do whatever he could. www.a6kδ

Ning Chuchu took a deep breath and her tone became softer.

"Do you regret it?"

Xiahou Zhuo grinned and shook his head: "I have never regretted it."

"When the news of His Highness's death reached the northern border troops, I stayed in my door for three days."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted, how could he be killed by someone?"

"Why can a good person live long?"

"He is the crown prince of our Ningguo!"

"In the future, he will be the emperor of our Ningguo!"

"He ascended the throne and became emperor, and many ministers could have a good end. Even if Ji Tai treated him like this... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not have the intention to kill him."

"But those ministers can't tolerate him!"

Xiahou Zhuo turned his head and looked at Li Chenan, "Even if you want to steal the country, the Crown Prince said in his letter to me that he regards you as a confidant... Whether you are the regent or ascend the throne as emperor... Kill a person and animal

A harmless prince or a prince who regards you as a friend... are you feeling sorry for it?"

Li Chenan sighed slightly, looked at Xiahou Zhuo, and said with great sincerity:

"If I say I never wanted to kill His Highness the Crown Prince, do you believe it?"

Do you believe it?

How can Xiahou Zhuo believe it?

Since ancient times, it is extremely normal for brothers to kill each other for the sake of the dragon throne, let alone Li Chenan is still an outsider!

If Li Chenan wants to hold that authority, he will inevitably kill the orthodox crown prince.

This is not a conspiracy, this is the most normal thing!

Xiahou Zhuo laughed at himself: "You win, you can say nothing. I lost, I am convinced!"

"I didn't expect that the old guy Xi Wei would dig a huge hole in front of me, and even made me jump in willingly..."

"If it weren't for Xi Wei's persuasion, I wouldn't have cooperated with Xie Jing at all."

"I'll hold!"

"The people who are waiting for you fight with Xie Jing's people."

"I have time to wait because you have to go to Shuzhou, and I... don't have to go to Kyoto!"

"I will wait until your thousand people and Xie Jing have a result, so as to observe the combat effectiveness of your thousand people... or when the ambush you set up appears."

"But that old guy Xi Wei lied to me!"

"If it weren't for him, even if I was defeated, I could have gone far away and waited for another opportunity."

Li Chenan was slightly stunned. He did not expect Xi Wei to do many things behind the scenes for this matter.

He looked at Xiao Baozi, then turned to look at Xiahou Zhuo, and did not ask what Xi Wei had persuaded, but said something that surprised Xiahou Zhuo:

"Do you know why I didn't ascend the throne to the emperor?"

"Because I don't have much interest in that thing."

"Before the Kyoto Incident, the Prince's Palace came down to pass the Meiyuan where I live."

"It was autumn at that time, and of course the plum blossoms were not blooming, but we chatted in the plum garden for a long time."

"I also think he is a very good prince and will become a very good emperor in the future. As for being merciful... he can be merciful. I originally wanted to help him become a villain."

"I will do what he can't make up his mind to do."

"I'll lift the knife that he can't lift."

"I'll kill someone he can't bear to kill... I have to kill some people, otherwise, if Ning Guohui has a big problem, you should know this."

"He is too fat, which is not good for his health. I even made a plan for him to lose weight."

"I just didn't expect the Kyoto Incident to come so quickly, nor did I expect the person who attacked him to be so decisive."

"He was indeed not dead because of the death of the late emperor, he was indeed harmed!"

Xiahou Zhuo did not expect Li Chenan to deny the cause of His Royal Highness the death of His Royal Highness, and his pupils shrank:

"Who harmed Your Highness?"

"I don't know either. I may investigate, or I may not pay attention to this matter... The dead are gone, and I still have a lot to do."

"You...you want to avenge him, it's understandable. You left Yanyun Pass without authorization, this is a death sentence!"

"No one can save you."
