That night, Ye Yunting suddenly had another dream, and there was still Li Fengqi in the dream.

He was emaciated and half leaning on the head of the bed. His whole body was shrouded in shadows and looked gloomy and cold: "Xuanjia Army...how many people are left?"

"There are less than two thousand people left." Zhu Lie knelt in front of the bed, with his only remaining arm pressed on his left chest. The other arm was cut off at shoulder level and wrapped in a thick white cloth belt.

Stained with blood and ashes: "They were well prepared. We were ambushed on the way, and we fought for two days, killing and wounding many soldiers. Under the banner of counterinsurgency, Yin Chengru united with the troops from Luzhou and California to carry out the siege.

, we couldn't resist, and finally my eldest brother led people to cut off the rear. I took some troops and horses to break out of the encirclement and returned to Weizhou to mobilize troops for reinforcements. However, I didn't want the city gate of Weizhou to be closed tightly. Yang Buyi defected before the battle. Together with Zhao Yan, he wanted to treat us as

The rebellious ministers and traitors will be killed on the spot."

As he spoke, Zhu Lie wiped his red eyes and said hoarsely: "I fought my way out of the siege and hid in the mountains at the junction of Xihuang to look for opportunities to contact my elder brother. However, I heard that Yin Chengru had forced them into a dead-end valley.

Kill them with rolling stones and random arrows.”

Of the 100,000 Xuanjia soldiers, in the end only less than 2,000 men with him were left.

When he learned of the death of his eldest brother, he could only suppress his grief and anger, and with a few elites in disguise, he returned to Shangjing after several twists and turns and found the prince.

However, looking at the prince's current appearance, he could only feel desolate.

King Yong'an and the Xuanjia Army, who were galloping on the battlefield and across the northern border, finally came to an end.

Zhu Lie said with hatred: "The emperor treated the prince like this, I will lead people into the palace and die with him! It can be regarded as avenging the blood of eldest brother and tens of thousands of soldiers!"

"Zhu Lie!" Li Fengqi looked at him suddenly, with a sinister look on his face: "Your elder brother, and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, haven't you learned the lesson of reckless behavior yet?!"

Zhu Lie's body trembled, and he knelt on his knees, his eyes wet: "It was the general's incompetence that cost the lives of so many soldiers in vain."

Li Fengqi closed his eyes. He seemed to want to raise his hand to help Zhu Lie, but his fingers twitched and spasmed for a while, but he could not lift them up even a moment.

After a long time, he took a breath and said: "Don't worry, I will ask Li Zong and the Yin family to pay for the lives of the Xuanjia Army soldiers... with blood."

"But Your Majesty, your body..." Zhu Lie's expression perked up, but when he saw that he couldn't move, he hesitated again: "Why don't I take the Prince away from Shangjing first, leaving the green hills behind, so I won't be afraid of running out of firewood."

"No need." Li Fengqi frowned, as if he was extremely uncomfortable, but he still endured the pain and said: "You prepare the medicinal materials as I said. I have a way, or I can try to temporarily suppress the toxicity in the body."

Zhu Lie was overjoyed when he heard this and left quietly after agreeing.

As soon as he left, Li Fengqi couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He lay on the bed in embarrassment, dark red blood spilled from between his teeth and dyed the bed red. But he seemed to be used to it. After lying down for a while,

He just tried his best to turn his body back, but when he lay down again, the veins on his forehead popped out, which was very scary.

Even though he knew it was just a dream, Ye Yunting still felt heartbroken. He reached out several times to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, but his palms passed through his body and could not be touched.

He sat dejectedly on the side of the bed, looking at Li Fengqi's weak breathing, and wondered, had King Yong'an in his previous life ever fallen to such a low level?

However, before he could feel sad, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. He was in a daze for a moment, and he didn't know how many days and nights had passed. At this time, Li Fengqi was supported by Wu Geng, and walked weakly towards a coffin.

It was dark at this time, but there were no lights in the courtyard, so we could only see things with the faint moonlight.

The four people carrying the coffin carefully lowered the coffin and stood aside in silence with their hands down.

Li Fengqi stepped forward and pushed open the coffin lid, revealing the figure lying inside.

From Ye Yunting's perspective, he couldn't see who was lying inside, but he heard Li Fengqi calling "Mother" in a trembling voice.

He took a breath and stepped forward quickly, only to see that the body of the old princess was lying inside.

I don’t know what the old princess had gone through, but her body was pieced together in pieces. It was shocking to look at it in the dark night.

"What's going on?" Li Fengqi leaned over and stared at the person in the coffin for a long time before he straightened up with difficulty. His pale face looked a little scary in the darkness.

"We are incompetent, please forgive me." The four people standing there knelt down after hearing the words, and the leader told the whole story.

After Deputy Governor Zhu Wen led a hundred thousand Xuanjia troops to rebel and were wiped out, the news that King Yong'an had been poisoned and died soon spread. When the old princess who was recuperating in Rongyang heard the news, she sent Nirvana to Nirvana.

I sent a letter to my family asking for help, and immediately set off from Rongyang back to Shangjing.

They were originally sent by Li Fengqi to secretly protect the old princess and escort her back when necessary. However, they did not wait for Li Fengqi's summons. Instead, the old princess suddenly wanted to leave for Beijing, so they had to protect each other secretly. But

Unexpectedly, they were attacked outside Shangjing. Several people stopped the killer and asked the guards to protect the old princess and escape first. Unexpectedly, when they solved the killer and chased after them, they found that all the guards were slaughtered, and the old princess was stabbed indiscriminately.

Behead.

It took them a long time to piece together the body.

"For failing to protect the old princess, we know that we will not escape death. Now that the old princess's body has been delivered, we are willing to die to apologize." After the four of them said this, they cut the knife across their necks.

Li Fengqi had no expression on his face. He glanced at the four of them and waved his hand: "You are still alive, tell me everything about Rongyang's journey to Beijing."

When the four of them saw this, they had no choice but to put down their knives and recount what happened along the way.

Li Fengqi looked confused. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and sneered: "It's the Shen family again."

"It seems that the prince has already guessed it."

Suddenly a white shadow came slowly in the darkness, and it turned out to be Han Chan.

"If the prince had promised to cooperate with me earlier, the old princess would not have to die." He held a letter with his fingertips and handed it to Li Fengqi: "Please take a look, your prince. This is the letter that Zhongyu sent to your majesty a few days ago."

name."

Li Fengqi took it and after reading the letter, his face became more and more gloomy.

Han Chan smiled and took out another small jade bottle from his sleeve: "This is the second antidote. This time, the prince should be willing to cooperate with me, right?"

Li Fengqi lowered his eyes and looked at the antidote in his hand. After a long time, he finally reached out and took it.

He uncorked the bottle, poured out the antidote and swallowed it in one gulp. There was blood on his lips, and his pale complexion made him look like a bloodthirsty demon with an evil spirit.

Ye Yunting watched from the side, feeling frightened.

He looked at Li Fengqi, who looked like an evil ghost, and suddenly remembered something that Ji Lian mentioned casually when he paid homage to him in his previous life.

Ji Lian once said that after King Yong'an became the emperor, his temperament became more cold and violent than before. He killed many courtiers internally and continued military conquests externally. Although the other party rescued him from the palace, Ji Lian was afraid of him.

He was fierce and unwilling to stay in the palace. After his leg was cured, he planned to go to South Vietnam and find a peaceful place to spend the rest of his life.

When he was about to be reborn, he was confused, and many things from his past life filled his mind, which made him even more confused. What's more, later on, he had more contact with Li Fengqi, and felt that although he was cold and taciturn, he was actually cold-faced and warm-hearted, unlike the rumors.

It was so vicious and terrifying that the sporadic words that Ji Lian mentioned in the previous life were naturally forgotten.

But at this moment, when he looked at Li Fengqi's expression, he suddenly remembered Ji Lian's words.

Ye Yunting's heart was trembling, and his eyes were full of soreness.

That's it, that's it.

"Yunting, Yunting?"

Ye Yunting was immersed in a dream, confused and confused, when he suddenly heard a gentle call in his ear.

He opened his eyes in a daze, with tears still on his eyelashes, and stared blankly at Li Fengqi.

Li Fengqi frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to try on his forehead: "There is no fever, is it a nightmare?" He reached out to wipe away the teardrop on his eyelashes, looked at his red eyes, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

: "What kind of nightmare did the eldest son have that made him cry?"

There was a gentle smile on his lips, which was completely opposite to the evil Shura ghost in Ye Yunting's dream.

Ye Yunting came back to his senses, sat up hurriedly, and wiped his eyes to cover up, but he didn't feel wet. Only then did he realize that he had been deceived by him again.

He had not yet recovered from the sour and desolate dream, and his voice was still a little hoarse: "I didn't cry."

Seeing that his eyes were red, Li Fengqi didn't know what he was dreaming about, so he didn't dare to tease him anymore. He just called Ji Lian to come in with water, twisted the handkerchief himself and handed it to him: "Yes, I'm just talking nonsense, eldest son."

Wipe your face first."

Ye Yunting took the handkerchief and pressed it on his face. It took a while before he came out of the dream of his previous life.

He put down the veil and looked at Li Fengqi again. There was something different in his eyes. He opened and closed his lips several times before hesitatingly asked: "Why didn't the prince cooperate with the tutor in the first place?"

Li Fengqi didn't know why he suddenly asked this question. He frowned and said with a little disgust: "Han Chan is hypocritical and cunning. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. What I hate most in my life is a hypocrite like him. Cooperating with him

, I disdain it.”

Ye Yunting thought it was true. He lowered his eyes and asked, "What about the hypothesis? Under what circumstances will the prince cooperate with him?"

Li Fengqi frowned and thought for a while, then said casually: "Unless I am controlled by him and have no other choice, I would rather die than cooperate with him. If we form an alliance with such a person, what difference does it make between me and him?"

Ye Yunting's heart trembled slightly, and the speculation in his heart came true.

At that time, Li Fengqi must have been forced to a dead end. All the Xuanjia troops were slaughtered and the old princess died. Deep blood and hatred were waiting for him to avenge, and Zhu Lie and the surviving soldiers were also counting on him, so he had to stand up as soon as possible.

.

In the end, he had to cooperate with Han Chan, or in other words, Han Chan took advantage of his weakness and forced him to give in and compromise.

He was trapped in hatred, and in order to take revenge, he joined forces with Han Chan, and perhaps did many things that he used to hate and disdain.
