After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

On the first day of winter, the entire Jizhou city was shrouded in thick fog. Even if people were standing opposite, they could hardly see their shadows.

Lu Chen came all the way from Wengcheng in a dusty and dusty state, and the journey was very difficult.

There were checkpoints everywhere on the road, but fortunately Lu Yuan was very familiar with the road conditions in this area. He found a shortcut and rushed for three days before reaching the Jizhou border.

After finding an abandoned temple to rest, Lu Yuan helped Lu Chen sit down in the temple and asked carefully, "Your Majesty, do you want the Crown Prince to come and greet you?"

"meet?"

Lu Chen was speechless.

That bastard had quietly sidelined me, and although he hadn't openly usurped the throne, if I went to confront him, the result would be unpredictable.

He had an army of 200,000 at his command. If his brothers turned against each other at this time, the entire Jiangzuo region would immediately fall into chaos.

"Have you found out when Prince Zhong's fleet will dock?" he asked worriedly.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "If there hadn't been this heavy fog, His Royal Highness Prince Zhong would have landed last night."

Lu Chen felt more and more uneasy, and did not dare to stay any longer, so he immediately said, "Let's set off and head straight to Jizhou Port."

Although Lu Yuan was worried about his health, he did not dare to persuade him. He helped him get back on the horse and quickly rushed to Jizhou Port.

The journey was extremely difficult in the fog, and it took from morning till nightfall to reach the destination, a distance of less than ten miles.

At this time, Jizhou Port was completely silent, so quiet that it was terrifying. You could vaguely see tiny flames flickering in the distance.

Lu Chen concluded that the evil creature's ambush must have been set up here. There were no signs of fighting around, which meant that Lin Zhi's fleet had not yet docked.

Thinking of all the things he owed him over the years, Lu Chen felt so uncomfortable that he resolutely said, "Enter the port."

"Your Majesty, why don't you go and inform the Crown Prince first?"

Lu Yuan knew the consequences of rushing in. No one could dissuade the Crown Prince from his determination to kill Prince Zhong. If His Majesty led such a small number of people into the harbor, it would be difficult to protect him and bring him out alive.

Even if the crown prince holds great power, as long as Your Majesty turns a deaf ear, he can still be respected as the emperor. When Your Majesty is healthier, he still has a chance to take back power. But once the relationship breaks out, there will be no room for maneuver.

"His Majesty."

Just as he was about to persuade her, Lu Chen had already galloped away on his horse, walking through the layers of fog as if it were flat ground, and his figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Hurry and follow your majesty."

Lu Yuan was so anxious that he ordered his soldiers to move forward hurriedly in the fog, searching for Lu Chen.

In a house somewhere in Jizhou Harbor, Lu Linchu was anxiously waiting when a servant suddenly came to report: "Your Highness, some people have entered the harbor, and from the sound of the noise, there are quite a few people."

Lu Linchu was overjoyed when he heard this: "No hurry, wait until they get closer, and order all the archers to shoot arrows at them, and don't leave any of them alive."

"Prince, there is news from Wengcheng that His Majesty has led the Imperial Guards to Jizhou."

Lu Yan looked at him, frowned and asked, "If your majesty came and saw Prince Zhong being killed, I'm afraid he would punish the crown prince."

"so what."

Lu Linchu snorted and laughed disapprovingly: "Father's health is getting worse. It's time for him to return to Liyang to spend his remaining years in peace. He shouldn't be asked to worry about state affairs anymore."

Thinking of his mother, he suddenly felt sad. "My father has been fighting all these years, and he has been away from my mother for a long time, leaving her alone in the deep courtyard. Now it's just right for him to take some time to accompany her and enjoy the happiness of family. Let me continue to guard the country of Daning for him."

He was also afraid that his father would really come to stop him from killing the fourth son, so he immediately ordered: "No more waiting, order all the soldiers to stand by and work together to encircle and suppress Prince Zhong and the group of traitors around him."

For a moment, the entire Jizhou Port lit up instantly, clusters of torches were ignited, and a black rain of arrows attacked the hazy figures in the distance like a tornado.

The area around the port suddenly became chaotic, and all the royal guards hurriedly raised their shields and moved towards Lu Chen's position.

But Lu Chen had already made up his mind to die, and he rushed to the front without hesitation, rushing towards the formation where arrows were flying.

"Guard you, escort you."

Seeing that he had been hit by several arrows, Lu Yuan was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. He led the Royal Guards to chase after him recklessly. Countless people fell one after another, but they still couldn't catch up with Lu Chen.

Lu Yuan grabbed a horse, not caring about his own life, leaving the Royal Guards behind, braved the flying arrows and shuttled through the fog, and finally caught up with Lu Chen.

"His Majesty."

As soon as he shouted, a sharp arrow flashed and pierced through his chest.

"Lu Yuan."

Lu Chen was filled with grief. He raised his head and spat out a mouthful of hot blood, then fell off the horse.

"His Majesty."

Lu Yuan was extremely anxious. He endured the severe pain in his chest and abdomen, ran to him quickly, and used his body to block the oncoming rain of arrows.

His body was pierced with arrows. As he was dying, he uttered a hysterical roar: "Protect the emperor."

The Lu family soldiers who were ambushing in the distance seemed to have heard his shout, and they hesitated and put down the arrows they were about to pull out.

"Prince, it seems to be Lu Yuan's voice."

Lu Yan reminded uncertainly: "He sounds like he's calling for protection."

Lu Linchu frowned and listened carefully. Sure enough, he heard someone crying "Your Majesty" in the distant fog.

"Father."

He suddenly felt something was wrong. In such severe cold weather, could it be possible that he had arrived at Jizhou Port before the fourth brother?

How much does he love the fourth brother that he is willing to risk his life to protect him?

I am his own flesh and blood.

He was anxious and angry, and ordered all archers to stop shooting arrows. He only ordered his trusted personal soldiers to surround the entire port, and then he had people holding torches and rushing over in a hurry.

The crying and shouting were getting closer and closer until people could be seen. Several surviving soldiers were seen gathered together, crying "Your Majesty" repeatedly.

"Father."

Lu Linchu's legs went weak and he almost fell down.

Helped up by Lu Yan and Lu Hui, he staggered over and saw his father, his body full of arrows, clutching Lu Yuan's hand with his dying breath, his eyes dull.

"Father."

He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he fell to his knees with a plop: "Why are you doing this? I have never thought of harming you."

Lu Chen used up his last breath of strength, and with trembling lips, he slowly turned his eyes from Lu Yuan to him: "You... are here."

Seeing him covered in blood, Lu Linchu felt as if his heart was cut open by a knife. He quickly crawled over and said with tears in his eyes, "Father, please bear with it. I will take you back and ask the doctor to treat you."

Lu Chen raised his hand to stop him from coming over, and then signaled the surviving guards to retreat.

Lu Linchu guessed that he had something to say, so he asked Lu Yan, Lu Hui and the soldiers to move away.

Carefully supporting him and leaning him against his chest, Lu Linchu blamed him with a heartache: "Father, why is he so protective of the fourth child that he doesn't even care about his own dragon body? Is it worth it?"
