you got on my tail

The emperor star fell on Chenshan.

Bai Xuehe raised his hand and casually threw the piece of paper into the brazier.

It seems that the last decree is indeed true. After Fu Jiying forced the palace, the prince knew that he would not succeed, so he drafted the last decree together with the former emperor, and hid the secret of these words in the sword edge of his confidant Luo Cangxia.

The inscription "Extreme Eyes Mountains and Rivers" on this blue and green landscape coincides with the extreme eyes sword held by Luo Cangxia, and the meaning of the sword's name should not be Guanxiu's phrase "there is no limit to mutual sympathy", but the intention here.

No wonder Luo Cangxia placed his wife and children early, and left the Extreme Eye Sword to Xun Luo. He probably knew that Fu Jiying was determined to force the palace, let alone anyone related to the prince, so he made plans early and stayed alone in the capital , intending to seal this secret forever with his life.

Such loyalty can be regarded as a unparalleled hero in the world.

But there is still one point that is not clear, even if the former emperor really loved the crown prince deeply and did not want to give up the throne to Fu Jiying, who took the throne by force, he should not leave the throne to his young and ignorant illegitimate son. If he chooses the loyal and pure King Yu, There is still a chance of survival.

Bai Xuehe put the writing brush between his fingertips and put it down. He scribbled on the paper with his right hand, but squinted at the mountains on the wall for a long, long time.

There are many places called "Chenshan" in this world, if you can find this dear friend, the king of Yan who has been hesitating all this time can logically raise up the rebellion and inherit the great rule, without any psychological regrets.

When he looked up, Fu Jiying came in just in time, and vaguely saw a thin figure with his head up and looking out, turning around with a pen in his hand, like a student who didn't want to study.

So he also slowed down, and with a very soft voice, he slowly approached the absent-minded Bai Xuehe, reached out and grabbed the pen holder, and slammed it outward.

Bai Xuehe failed to maintain his balance, and fell backward suddenly, bumping into Fu Jiying's arms. He hurriedly got up and knelt down, but Fu Jiying grabbed his wrist and sat down beside him.

Bai Xuehe stretched out his other hand, intentionally or unintentionally pressing it on the paper on the tabletop, swaying.

"What is Ai Qing writing?" Fu Jiying squinted his eyes, still pinching his wrist with his right hand, then slowly bent down, and took out half a piece of paper from the brazier.

"The emperor..."

Bai Xuehe knew that Fu Jiying's martial arts were strong, but he had never really experienced the level of his strength. He never finished his words. Fu Jiying had already taken out the debris from the sparkling charcoal fire, and Bai Xuehe hadn't even seen how he did it.

There is a little ink mark on the shredded paper, and I don't know what it is.

"What is Aiqing burning?" Fu Jiying leaned forward, stared at his hand on the table, and lifted it up effortlessly. Bai Xuehe took a deep breath, bowed her head and shrank back, making an ostrich-like gesture posture.

The rice paper of the palace is extremely high-grade, white and soft, covered with snow and gold, but there is a chubby black snake drawn on it. The snake sticks out its tongue and has flat eyes, which is really not very attractive.

"A snake came to the palace today, and Ai Qing ran over to look at it." Fu Jiying chuckled, then grabbed his hand, turned her eyes and smiled and said, "Snow Crane, what is the meaning of this black snake?"

"It's nothing, I'm just practicing drawing something to please the emperor." Bai Xuehe avoided the topic, rolled his eyes, "If the emperor is not happy to see snakes, I can draw something else!"

"That's unnecessary." Fu Jiying waved his hands, still staring at the snake, "I think this snake is stupid, but it looks like a human being."

Bai Xuehe paused, "How can this snake look like a human?"

"Look at it being so dumb, and its face is full of displeasure." Fu Jiying raised his eyes and smiled, his tone seemed a little jealous, "Is it very like Xun Luo, do you think of him?"

"General Xun is just tall, so he's not stupid." Bai Xuehe didn't try to defend himself, as if deliberately annoyed him, he shook his head and said, "General Xun grew up in the north since he was a child, and it's common for him to be tall, but he has long legs and a heroic appearance. Not bulky."

"He's not from the north. He's always lived in Luo Cangxia's hometown, which is Jian'ou County in Fujian." Fu Jiying smiled instead of anger, but boasted, "I really appreciate his stupidity."

Fujian, Jianou County.

Fu Jiying is worthy of being an emperor, he can put many things in his mind, and he knows many people's backgrounds very well.

Just now when Xu Lin came in, Li Yuan should have returned to court, Bai Xuehe hesitated a little, should he speak up and recommend Xun Luo to guard Bailu Pass.

"Bailu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the most important pass leading to the capital." Seeing that Bai Xuehe was silent, Fu Jiying took the initiative to change the topic, "I have sent Liao Ning to guard it. He is my first hand. Promoted brave generals, one man is in charge, and ten thousand men are not allowed to open."

"It seems that the emperor has made up his mind." Bai Xuehe took a deep breath, now that the matter had come to an end, he could only test with a smile, "Dismiss Li Yuan?"

"Just now when Xu Lin came in, I have ordered Li Lun to be dismissed from office, ransacked his home, and taken to prison." Fu Jiying raised the corners of his lips, loosened his hands slightly, showing a helpless look of prey, "It's not that I want to do something, Li Yuan is indeed Leaving Bailuguan, but before entering the capital, a group of people attacked the Jinyiwei sent by the imperial court, and the entire army was wiped out. Now, this General Li has disappeared. Aiqing, it seems that the person who wants my life , there are really not a few of them.”

This time without any acting skills, Bai Xuehe stayed for a moment sincerely.

Who is this again.

"Your Majesty!" Someone from outside broke in suddenly, regardless of the internal rules, and knelt directly at Fu Jiying's feet, "Lord Li, Li Lun... was killed in the imperial prison!"

"Li Yuan is a good friend of King Yu. He used to practice martial arts together. King Yu is already crazy. Although I don't want to make things difficult for my younger brother, there is nothing I can do." Pull your fingers, and then pat Bai Xuehe's shoulder, "King Yu is still under house arrest in the mansion. In addition to sending people to protect him, he also serves him in food and daily life. Nothing in the mansion has been touched. Xuehe, you are careful. After you recover almost, take care of me. Check it out."

........................

It is also late at night outside the capital, a mountain, lonely and deserted.

Li Yuan woke up from a coma, his vision was dark, he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had a sack on his head.

Li Yuan is tall and handsome, with a straight spine even when he is injured, but he is an unparalleled general.

Li Yuan was a loyal minister and good general, and his father Li Lun had been an official in the capital. Although he didn't believe that his father would do rebellious things, he really didn't have the slightest intention of rebelling.

So after receiving the decree, he immediately put down the seal and put on his coat, without even bringing a sword, and returned to Beijing with the imperial guards in plain clothes. Bailuguan is not very far from the capital, and it only takes five days to travel quickly at night. , On the third day, a group of people rushed out from the field, without saying a word, only took people's throats.

The one who escorted him was Jin Yiwei, the emperor's guard, and his martial arts were also among the best, but in the hands of the assassin, he couldn't survive for a moment.

Li Yuan raised his hand, just as he was about to resist, he was hit in the back of the head, and he lost consciousness again.

At this moment, there was the sound of heavy footsteps approaching, Li Yuan struggled to raise his head, the sack was suddenly lifted, he just realized that there was not only one person in front of him, but another person whose footsteps were too light, like ghosts and demons, he had practiced martial arts for many years, but he was completely Can't hear it.

Li Yuan looked up, and there were two people in front of him, one tall and one short, both wrapped in cloaks and hoods.

"I am Li Yuan, the Great General of the Dragon and Tiger." Li Yuan was not afraid, and opened his mouth to report his family name, "Everyone has already made arrangements, and I must know that I have come to Beijing for my father. I really have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders. If I leave, the Li family will be grateful in the future."

"The Li family?" The tall man couldn't help laughing, and pointed behind Li Yuan, "The emperor sent Jin Yiwei to take you back to the capital, but you killed them. Now Li Lun is suspected of King Yu's treason, and he is in deep trouble. You Once back in Beijing, wouldn’t everything be confirmed? There is only rebellion and repeat offenders, so there is no Li family.”

Killing all the officers and soldiers, leaving him alone, this kind of trick is not uncommon, it is this kind of trick, and it is usually used to push people to the top.

At this moment Li Yuan was not nervous, he simply sat up straight, raised his head and said, "I don't know what you want from me? Li Yuan is a courtier of the Great Zhou, he will never..."

"Use your military power to rise up and rebel." Before Li Yuan finished his sentence, the man had already answered. The two sentences had different meanings, but they were seamlessly connected. After he finished, the man took off his hood, revealing Zhang Junlang's handsome On his face, his cheeks are sharpened, his skin is fair and fine-looking, his pair of peach blossom eyes are shining brightly, and he seems to be smiling but not smiling.

He was wearing a black cloak, wrapping it from the neck to the feet, only the red placket was exposed at the neckline, flirtatious as fire.

"The emperor listens to treacherous ministers and kills innocent people in vain. The King of Yan is determined to rebel, and the Qing emperor is on his side." The man raised his lips and smiled, "Bailu Pass is a fortress entering the capital, and you have been guarding it before, and you are very familiar with the terrain of soldiers and horses. The guard there was replaced by Liao Ning, without your help, King Yan would not be able to enter the city."

Li Yuan couldn't believe it, and didn't react for a while.

What was even more unbelievable was that the person behind him also took off his hood and veil, but it was Zhang Liyuan's rarely seen but unforgettable face.

It turned out to be an old woman, she was haggard, except for a pair of amber earrings, she had no other jewelry on her head.

Li Yuan's eyes straightened immediately. He remembered that he was entrusted by King Yu to bring the pair of ambers from beyond the Great Wall when he returned to Beijing. There happened to be half a butterfly wing embedded in each of the ambers, which were colorful and brilliant.

King Yu was very filial, ordered the craftsman to make a pair of earrings, and gave them to the Queen Mother when she passed her birthday.

"Empress..." Li Yuan quickly knelt down, "You..."

Fu Jiying, like Yu Wang, is her single-handedly supported son.

But since she couldn't be a brother, she couldn't be a mother either.

"It's me." The queen mother's eyes were burning, a pair of sunken old eyes were burning, and her tone was disdainful to argue, "Xu Yan raised an army, implicated King Yu and was placed under house arrest by the emperor, and King Yan asked me to give him a drug that would make him crazy, so as to save his life for the time being. As long as the emperor is no longer the emperor, my son is not a sinner, I can give him the antidote, my mother and son just want to find a way to survive and ask the general to help."

Shi should die for his confidant, his father Li Lun is still in the capital, and is still in the hands of Fu Jiying.

Li Yuan remained silent for a long time, the queen mother knelt on the ground with a "plop", then buried her head deeply, her forehead sunk into the ground.

"I beg the general to do it!"

She raised her hands high, holding something in her palm.

Li Yuan looked intently, and suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and barely stood still while leaning against the wall.

What the Queen Mother holds is a red tassel, which was hung on Li Yuan's gun when he went out for the first time. Since he gave it to his father, he has never seen him leave.

Li Yuan raised his head abruptly, holding back a few tears of heroism.

It was another night, the firefox, who had practiced for a thousand years, flew through the deep forest, and his footprints were like red plums and snow.

From the prosperous capital to the desolate Saibei, monsters from all directions scattered when they heard the wind, not daring to approach.

On the second day, the sky broke, which coincided with the end of the first lunar month and the beginning of February, when the glaciers thawed and Vientiane was renewed.

Mobei began to freeze gradually, Yan Wang Fu Jijue lowered his eyes, and gently blew out the crumbling red candle on the table.

Xun Luo and Cang Hua have led troops to clear the way, and Li Yuan is also willing to return to Bailuguan, and together with Li Ye, kill Liao Ning and tell the soldiers about his father's death.

He had been in Bailuguan for five years, and he only needed to raise his arms to be accompanied by countless life and death brothers.

Fu Jijue raised his head and pulled open the tent suddenly. The rising sun happened to burst out from the sky, his eyes were bright and bright red, like the color of blood, and it was piercingly beautiful. Holding the silver gun, his hands suddenly began to tremble.

Finally, everything was ready. For today, he endured it for nearly ten years. During these nearly four thousand wind and snow days and nights, he suffered all kinds of blind eyes in the palace, got scars all over the outside, and couldn't move a step in the capital. Little bullying all night long.

But Li Ye endured it for more than ten years. The fox loves someone for a lifetime. Since the battle between the demon god and the dragon god's son Canghua, he has been looking for the soul of the demon god in the world. He has waited for the change of two dynasties. Lingnan walked to Mobei, and finally found the remnant soul of the demon god in a corner of the palace.

Although he is no longer a demon, he still has the memory of his past life, so the thin boy born to the slave was not afraid. He hid in the corner of the palace and gently lifted a fox.

After thousands of years of rubbing each other's ears and temples, the four eyes are already facing each other, so naturally there is no need to say more.

With Li Ye's company, Fu Jijue also gradually recalled the past. He is no longer the dilapidated prince who can be flattened and rounded by others. No one is his opponent.

Li Ye looked at his back without any emotion, whether he was the emperor of the demon world or the emperor of the world, all he had to do was to accompany him.

So Li Ye approached and put on the silver armor cloak for him again. King Yan turned around and straddled his horse, shook off the black embroidered dragon cloak, raised the silver/spear in his hand, and ordered the three armies.

It was as if he pulled out a thousand-year-old sharp blade with one hand before the last enchantment of the demon world.

Even in the face of the rebellious and outstanding Dragon God, he did not compromise and evade.

"let's go."

Fu Jijue looked back with a slight smile, and looked at Li Ye. These three words were still his usual gentleness and warmth.

It's just that in that pupil, after all, there was an unconcealable killing intent.

The army advanced all the way to the southeast, high-spirited and unstoppable.

In half a month, King Yan's iron cavalry had already broken through Yubi Pass, along the Hexi Corridor all the way to the north, and stopped at Tongguan Pass.

The Great Wall climbs up the mountain peaks all the way, and finally disappears into the boundless night. Qiang flutes are played everywhere, and beacon towers are lit all the way, like a ladder going straight into the sky.

"Report." The deputy general knelt down with his hands clasped, he was also a veteran general, and his tone could not contain the excitement, "My lord, General Xun and Mr. Canghua have broken through Luyang City, and they brought nearly [-] soldiers with them. I don't think so." You can join us someday!"

He licked the chapped corners of his mouth, took the jug handed by Fu Jijue and drank it in one gulp, "I don't think we can kill that Fu Jiying within a month and help the prince to sit on the throne. When the time comes, the prince will seal me up." General!"

"Sure." Fu Jijue patted him on the shoulder and smiled gently, "Go down and rest first..."

"King Yan!" Before he could finish his sentence, a person suddenly opened the curtain and broke in.

Cang Hua was also wearing silver armor, and his stature was three points taller than before. His long hair was tied high, showing a very handsome face, his eyes were as clear as stars, but as sharp as knives and axes.

Just as the veteran was about to speak, King Yan had already raised his hand to signal him to go down, then turned around and poured a cup of tea, smiling for Cang Hua to sit down.

Cang Hua suddenly drew his sword, and the blade hit Fu Jijue's throat, and there was a thin bloodstain in an instant, and anger was burning in his eyes.

"what are you going to do!"

Li Ye stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold the sharp blade, and pushed Cang Hua half a step back with all his strength.

"I'm asking you." Cang Hua lowered his voice, his voice was trembling, and he questioned every word, "You want to rebel, what are you talking about punishing treacherous officials, the Qing Dynasty is on your side!"

"This treacherous minister, why is it Bai Xuehe!"
