Everyone thought he was dying

Ji Chen and Lan Yu fought inextricably, Xu knew that there was no way out, the 3 people under Lan Yu's command were desperate, even if they traded lives for lives, or even traded lives for injuries, they had to pull a few more backs .Naturally, Ji Chen didn't want his soldiers to fall into the hands of these people, instead he backed down somewhat.

Under such circumstances, the two sides fought evenly on the first day, and neither could do anything to the other.

On the second day, Lan Yu's soldiers were no longer as energetic as the first day because of the repeated harassment by Ji Chen's soldiers at night, but the fighting methods were still tough, and Ji Chen still did not choose to confront Lan Yu head-on. .

On the third day, news of the defeat and surrender of the royal court of the Yi tribe came, and the warriors of the Yi tribe were asked to send troops to attack Lan Yu's army, and Lan Yu immediately became passive.When the Yi army arrives, Lan Yu's army is bound to fall into the situation of being attacked from both sides.

Some loyal subordinates persuaded Lan Yu to run away before the Yi people arrived, maybe there was still a glimmer of life, but Lan Yu smiled wryly: "Escape? Where else can I escape? Back then, because of Ye Yunze's suspicion, like I fled to the Yi people like a bereaved dog. Now, even the Yi people are going to drive me out, so where else can I go?"

Lan Yu shook his head, denying the adjutant's proposal.Anyway, he was once a famous general of a generation, even if he could escape at this moment, he would not want to live such a life without dignity.Over the years, he has already had enough of hiding in Tibet. If it weren't for the unwillingness in his heart, he might not be able to live this life long ago.

"Now, my revenge plan has completely failed, and I have no other hope in this life." Lan Yu raised the blood-soaked sword in his hand: "The only thing is to fight to the death!"

It is absolutely impossible for him to escape, especially in front of Ji Chen!

Seeing that Lan Yu had made up his mind, the adjutant said, "I swear to follow you to the death!"

The people who have followed Lan Yu to the present are all Lan Yu's confidantes, so naturally they will not have any objection to Lan Yu's order.When Lan Yu was born, they lived; when Lan Yu died, they died.Since he is dead anyway, what are you afraid of!

That day, Ji Chen's army suffered heavy losses.

Ji Chen also realizes that Lan Yu has been cornered. If he can choose, Ji Chen doesn't want his soldiers to die in vain.But if Lan Yu's life is not left here, God knows how many people will die because of Lan Yu, he has no choice.

"Come on, Ji Chen, let me see whether you have improved or regressed over the years!" Lan Yu's blade swept across, and several Qi soldiers fell under his gun one after another. God-like, extremely sharp.Except for Ji Chen, no one can resist his sharpness.

"Clang"!

Ji Chen's and Lan Yu's knives intersected in mid-air, almost causing electric sparks.

Just as Ji Chen was meeting Professor Lan Yu, several arrow feathers suddenly brushed past Ji Chen's body, and one arrow pierced deeply into his shoulder.Ji Chen's subordinates froze, and were immediately attacked by Lan Yu frantically.

If he hadn't instinctively turned to the side just now, I'm afraid that arrow feather would have been inserted into his heart by now!

"How about it? Doesn't it feel good to be slapped in the cold by one of your own?" Lan Yu's men's attacks became more and more fierce, and the strokes were bloody. Every time they swung a knife, it would bring out a scar on Ji Chen's body.It didn't take long for Ji Chen's body to be covered with bloodstains, which was really frightening to watch.

"General!" Ji Chen's subordinates wanted to rush up to help Ji Chen, but they were stopped by Ji Chen: "What are you panicking! This general is fine!"

"It seems that General Lan already knew that someone in the army would plot against me?" While fighting Lan Yu, Ji Chen interrogated him.Naturally, these people can't be Lan Yu's people. It has been four or five years since Lan Yu was "convicted and killed". Lan Yu doesn't have the ability to put people beside him.However, Lan Yu must have a very close relationship with the person behind the scenes.

Lan Yu squinted her eyes: "I'm not sure. I just think that 'she' will not let go of this opportunity. After all, 'she' wants to kill all of us generals, and it is no longer a day or two. "

"By 'she' you mean the Queen Mother?"

Lan Yu smiled sarcastically, and asked back: "Do you think, besides that woman, who else has the ability to meddle in military affairs at will?"

"Besides that woman, who else has such a great ability to cover up the truth for me during my feigned death and escape, and let me take away part of the troops smoothly? If it wasn't for that woman, then At that time, no matter how well prepared I am, I'm afraid there will be some flaws left."

Ji Chen looked at Lan Yu in disbelief: "The queen mother wants to save you?"

"Save me?" Lan Yu laughed loudly as if she had heard something funny: "If she hadn't been a hindrance, no matter how much dissatisfaction I have with Ye Yunze, no matter how much Ye Yunze has doubts about me, At that time, how did we get to the step of fighting each other!"

"The Queen Mother, she just saved my life for future use after overthrowing me! She wanted to take the military power in my hands for her own use, but Ye Yunze gave it to you beforehand. That woman After trying all the tricks, she made wedding clothes for others in vain, but even God didn't help her!" Lan Yu said sarcastically.

"Leave your life for later use?" Ji Chen frowned, thinking about something, his eyes widened in astonishment: "Mother... Queen Mother..."

"At that time, apart from you and me, the other powerful generals had already been wiped out by the Queen Mother or Ye Yunze. Who do you think that woman spared my life to deal with?"

"..." Ji Chen was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.

He originally thought that no matter how much the Empress Dowager thinks he is not pleasing to the eyes, no matter how much she tries to seize the military power in his hands, and separate him and Ye Yunze, she is still a sensible person who can stand on the ground in matters of right and wrong.

But who would have thought that the Queen Mother would be so crazy, and she would use all the tricks, just to kill him?

Ji Chen tried his best to calm down the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Is it the queen mother who planned the Yi people's crimes on the border?"

"That's not true, it's just that the border has always had the eyes and ears of that woman. I don't believe that she is completely ignorant. Over the years, her people have been watching me and have never let up. Could it be that, When I formed an alliance with the Yi people, her people became deaf and dumb, and they didn't even know that a letter was sent back to the capital?"

Lan Yu's series of questions made Ji Chen's heart sink to the bottom.

Unexpectedly, in order to get rid of him, the Queen Mother indulged all of this even though she knew that the Yi people were going to hold the customs. As a result, the three border cities fell into the hands of the Yi people, and tens of thousands of people and soldiers paid the price. paid the price in blood.

Is it true that in the Queen Mother's mind, all she sees is her power?Others, including human life and national security, are not important matters?If that's the case... He will never let her go even if he tries his best to remonstrate!

Seemingly seeing Ji Chen's doubts, Lan Yu said in a contemptuous tone: "That woman didn't take the Yi tribe's detention seriously at all. She thought that Daqi was still at the beginning of the founding of the country, when there were many generals! I am afraid that in her opinion, the Yi people are the defeated generals of Da Qi, and if they are promoted casually, they will be able to drive them back."

"That woman, who has been arrogant for half her life, will eventually pay the price for her frivolity!"

"Why did you tell me this, you hate me and Ye Yunze so much, you should be happy to watch me die under the conspiracy of the Queen Mother?"

Although Ji Chen believed most of Lan Yu's words, he still had doubts in his heart.

Lan Yu stared at Ji Chen for a moment, and said, "I hate Ye Yunze, I hate you, but I hate that woman even more."

The half of his life was up and down, and the half of his life was in a state of embarrassment, all thanks to the Queen Mother.Since it is no longer possible to take revenge on the Queen Mother, Ye Yunze and Ji Chen one by one, it is also very interesting to watch them fight among themselves.

"That woman wants to use me to kill you, and then kill me, I want her to die!" Lan Yu's words were full of resentment.

As soon as he finished speaking, a galloping arrow feather pierced his throat, his eyes widened, and he fell unwillingly.

That arrow was shot from behind Lan Yu.Among Lan Yu's personal soldiers, there is actually someone from the Queen Mother hidden.No wonder the Empress Dowager was able to play them with applause time and time again.

Ji Chen's soldiers seemed to realize something, and shouted at Ji Chen: "General! Be careful!"

Unfortunately, it is too late.There was the sound of metal breaking through the air, and three arrows were fired at once. Ji Chen dodged two arrows, but was pierced into the chest by the last arrow.

……

It was two days after Ye Yunze received the battle report of the border victory.

Before he had time to be happy, he received the news that Ji Chen was seriously injured. At the same time, a confidential letter was neatly placed on his desk.

With red eyes, Ye Yunze ruthlessly pushed all the memorials on the table to the ground: "How dare she, how dare she!!!"

"Your Majesty... General Ji is still waiting for the imperial physician to treat him." Even against Ye Yunze's anger, Xiao Xizi had no choice but to speak.

Ye Yunze gave orders one after another expressionlessly: "I will pass on my order. The Queen Mother is unwell and needs to rest in the palace. No one is allowed to disturb the Queen Mother's recuperation. I will send twice as many people to 'protect' the Queen Mother. In addition, let the clan's government order Take your hands and surround Xu Guogong's mansion!"

"Emperor, Your Majesty wants to..."

"Since I ordered you, I have my own opinion, so hurry up!!!" Ye Yunze slapped the desk heavily with his right hand, and Xiao Xizi felt her heart tremble along with the desk.

He didn't dare to say anything more, and hurried down to carry out the order.

Ye Yunze, who was in a rage, was not as talkative as the usual Ye Yunze.He didn't want to challenge Ye Yunze's bottom line at all.

"Wait!" Just as Xiao Xizi was about to leave the Qianyuan Palace, Ye Yunze quickly put away the secret letter on the table and threw it into the fire. Seeing that the secret letter was completely swallowed by the flames on the candle, Ye Yunze said: "Bring the imperial physician who is the best at healing in the palace, I want to go to the border in person!"
