The first favorite of rebirth

Although Jueyun was guarding Lingnan and had been pretending to fight King Huai all the time, Fu Congjin might lose patience at any time and mobilize an army from northern Xinjiang to suppress it. This matter could not stand delay, so after that night, Pei Jiqing also followed the army all night Rush to Mingzhou, pretending to join forces with King Huai's army.

At the same time, rumors of the little prince living among the people also spread to Yu Lie. If the regent was really on the side of the Qing emperor, why would he not let a seven or eight-year-old prince go?The fact that the little prince is still alive is the ironclad proof that he is trying to usurp the throne.

Pei Jiqing turned her head and glanced at Fu Congsi, a little doubt suddenly arose in her heart, the matter of the little prince was originally a secret, and King Huai didn't know about it, so how could Fu Congsi, a relative who was separated by a layer, know, even if the old prince had a close relationship with the Supreme Emperor , but after all, he has been delirious for a long time, so he should not tell this person such a secret. Could it be that the old prince has always been sane, and everything is just a disguise?

But this is a family matter, since the old prince is rarely confused, he doesn't need to ask further.

"What are you thinking?" Fu Congsi sat beside Pei Jiqing, and took out the kettle from his arms, "If you feel uncomfortable, you can drink some hot water."

"I'm fine." Although Pei Jiqing said so, he still took the kettle.

At the end of the long night, he slowly raised the curtain of the car, looked at the strange and undulating mountains around him like ghostly figures, and remembered that when he left the capital, the sun was just rising, and at this moment, he was coming to the capital again.

More than 20 years ago, Pei Jiqing still went to court in the early hours of the morning. He slept very late last night and kept suppressing his sleepiness in the morning. Before entering the hall, he quietly swallowed a handful of mint leaves.

After everyone stood still, Pei Jiqing raised his head in a daze, and saw Fu Congjin standing opposite him. He came back from outside the Great Wall at some time, and he was wearing a military officer's blue robe. He never thought that he would meet Fu Congjin here. But it's not easy to talk, I can only look at each other and smile.

That night, the two drank until late at night, Fu Congjin took out a fire pocket from his pocket, and told him that it was obtained from outside the Great Wall, and that a fire could be made by simply drawing a line on the wall, so that even if a person walks at night, he would not be afraid of not being able to see clearly. stuff, not afraid of going the wrong way.

Pei Jiqing sighed, "I was wondering why Fu Congjin didn't become the emperor. Although the little emperor had cooperated with him, he had no power and power after all. If he becomes the emperor now, it would definitely be difficult for us to do so."

"Fu Congjin is very self-aware, and he is too suspicious." Fu Congsi replied softly. Compared with the righteous indignation when he first met Pei Jiqing, Fu Congsi's tone at this time was much lighter, as if he was talking confidently, "And little The emperor is a prince, but he wants to force his father to leave for the sake of power, this kind of person is really too cruel and merciless, and he can't take on big responsibilities."

"The little prince is right." Pei Jiqing nodded, "Although the Supreme Emperor is a bit too benevolent, but he has the support of his courtiers, Fu Congjin was able to raise troops this time, but it was a rare luck. Much better than in his hands."

In his heart, the Supreme Emperor is still suitable to be an emperor. He did release many people who should be killed, but he is an emperor, and he wants to benefit the people of the world. After his death, he will enjoy the praise of his benevolence and justice.As for murder, which is not on the table, it is more appropriate to leave it to the ministers.

When Pei Jiqing said this, there was an unconcealable smile on his face, and Fu Congsi paused, "It's really not easy for you this time, and you have endured humiliation for so many years, but then again, Rong Tingruo knew about the little prince a long time ago. , why did you still anger Fu Congjin, if Xiao Wansheng didn't take pity on your... appearance at that time, wouldn't there be no one to save the little prince...?"

Pei Jiqing was taken aback for a moment, and reluctantly explained: "Because my father is an upright person, he can't stand being provoked by other people's words the most, let alone facing a rebellious minister and thief like Fu Congjin... I am different, I am not as fastidious as he is, so It’s not very honorable to be able to survive, I never expect credit, so let’s stop mentioning it..."

Fu Congsi nodded thoughtfully, his face suddenly turned red, as if he felt that he was unreasonable, Pei Jiqing sighed, fortunately, this person is thin-skinned, if he keeps asking, normal people will start to have doubts, not only himself If the secret of Jue Yun cannot be kept, Jue Yun's life experience will also be suspected.

The long night finally came to an end, the morning sun was about to break out, and Zhao Deqin's team arrived at the city of Mingzhou smoothly.Mingzhou City has been under martial law, and the flag at the top of the city has been replaced with a bright yellow imperial flag, with the word "Fu" embroidered brightly on it with gold thread. Seeing that King Huai's heart to call himself emperor is clearly revealed, Pei Jiqing couldn't help but twitch Mouth.

After confirming his identity, the gate of Mingzhou city opened, and King Huai stood in the city to greet him personally. He was wearing a suit of armor and a bright yellow embroidered dragon cloak behind him. The weather was so hot that he couldn't help taking off his helmet. Only then did he realize that even the hair crown on his head had been replaced by a golden dragon.

"General Zhao!" King Huai greeted him excitedly, holding Zhao Deqin's hand tightly, "I have been thinking about it day and night, and I finally hoped for you!"

His government soldiers are only 6 to [-], and none of them are battle-tested soldiers. If Jue Yun hadn't pretended to retreat, he might not be able to take a single blow, and Fu Rusi's effect on him was just to provide him with the Son of Heaven Sword The secrets of the little prince, these are far less than the role of a Zhao Deqin, so he has long since lost the face when he relied on Pei Jiqing and Fu Congsi for advice, and only wanted to curry favor with Zhao Deqin.

Although King Huai greeted him personally, his eyes were firmly locked on the Tianzi Sword. Pei Jiqing still kept the Tianzi Sword next to him. Seeing King Huai's eyes, he smiled and hid behind him to remind King Huai that this was nothing is a fake.

Seeing that King Huai was so powerful, he only needed to add a dragon robe to be proclaimed emperor immediately, Zhao Deqin sat in the flower hall of King Huai's mansion very dissatisfied, and deliberately raised his head and asked, "Where is His Highness? The last general can also salute His Highness."

Of course, it is impossible for King Huai to invite the little prince out, and he showed a bit of distress, "The little prince is just 17 years old, and there is a sudden change, and he is still in shock. He doesn't want to see anyone right now, and I hope the general will forgive me. "

"My lord is right." Pei Jiqing knew that Zhao Deqin couldn't stand it anymore, so he said deliberately: "The future will be long in the future, why should the general be in a hurry."

Zhao Deqin had no choice but to restore his smile, "I don't know where the prince's troops are stationed now?"

"This king has forced Ling Jueyun to the vicinity of Jiangzhou City. Ling Jueyun is now seriously injured. After a few more days, I'm afraid Fu Congjin's troops will come." King Huai looked at Zhao Deqin and said sincerely: "It's better to send troops now, General , let’s take Jiangzhou City, which is the only way to go to the capital.”

Pei Jiqing's heart "thumped", he was not by Jue Yun's side, so he couldn't tell whether it was true or not, his heart was on fire, and he couldn't help clenching his fist tightly with his right hand.

Zhao Deqin also lowered his head slightly, Pei Jiqing forced himself to be calm, and glanced at the map from the corner of his eye. King Huai was indeed right. When they arrived in Jiangzhou, they basically left the mountains in the south of Lingnan, and they could join King Huai's army and march north. There are as many as 10 people in total. Fu Congjin wants to dispatch troops, but he can't do it in a short period of time. Moreover, they have their own reasons and evidence, so they will not encounter too many obstacles on the way.

And when he arrived in Jiangzhou City, he would be able to know Jueyun's situation.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Zhao Deqin nodded, "Your Highness is right, I'll order troops now."

The few people didn't rest for a while, and quickly raised their troops and rushed to Jiangzhou. The army galloped from early morning to midnight before barely getting close to Jiangzhou City.The news of Jue Yun kept shaking in his mind, and coupled with the urgent need for the journey, Pei Jiqing really stayed up all night. When he finally touched the residence, his body was already covered with stinky sweat, and his calf was so swollen that he couldn't move. It was late at night, everyone must have rested, Pei Jiqing couldn't sleep peacefully after tossing and turning, so he simply decided to get dressed and go out, if King Huai didn't fall asleep, he would ask about Jueyun's situation.

He had just put on his coat when there was a hasty knock on the door. Pei Jiqing hurriedly put on his coat and opened the door gently. Qing pushed into the room and hastily locked the door.

Pei Jiqing was worried in his heart. Seeing King Huai's big belly wrapped in night clothes, he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. He held back his smile and took two steps back and knelt down, "See the prince, the villain is going to find the prince. Come first."

"Where's the Tianzi Sword?" Huai Wang pulled him up and said impatiently, "Give me the Tianzi Sword."

"Ah?" Pei Jiqing was taken aback for a moment, and replied: "I don't have any Tianzi sword at all, and mine is also a fake one. Don't you have a bunch in your basement?"

"I know it's fake, but none of them are as real as this one." King Huai frowned, and impatiently took out an ingot of gold, "Is this enough money? Give me the sword. You can go wherever you want. When I become the emperor, I will make you an official."

"My lord, you can't kill a donkey." Pei Jiqing immediately understood what he meant, and he didn't want to be around people like King Huai. I'm not afraid that Ling Jueyun will come back again, you have no one to take it..."

"I didn't intend to kill you. Ling Jueyun was seriously injured. I will break through Jiangzhou City in a few days. When you came to me, you said that you are in the world. You should know what I want to do." King Huai directly interrupted him, He suddenly lowered his voice, and a mysterious look appeared on his face, "And the current situation does not allow me to cooperate with others at all, you hand over the Emperor Sword..."

King Huai hadn't finished speaking when a gust of night wind struck like a sharp blade and wiped out the lamps and candles in front of the table. The room was suddenly pitch black. Pei Jiqing's heart tightened. Rushing into the courtyard with moonlight and lights.

But King Huai didn't seem to intend to take the sword, his huge figure came out through the window against the cold wind, and fell directly to the ground.Pei Jiqing retreated to a corner holding the Tianzi Sword, and a tall and thin man in black came stepping on the moonlight, pointing the sharp sword in his hand at King Huai.

Although Pei Jiqing couldn't comprehend the situation in front of him, she probably knew that the man in black was not coming towards him. Although King Huai was a bit fatter, he was also a martial arts practitioner. He stood up quickly and pulled out his right hand quickly The sword pointed at the man in black, and in an instant, the man in black dodged quickly, circling behind King Huai like a ghost, and pierced his back heart with a merciless sword.

The air froze for a moment, and only the sound of dripping blood remained. This change happened too fast.However, Pei Jiqing only stayed there for a moment, then rushed out holding the Tianzi sword, as long as he stepped out of the courtyard gate, there would be guards there, enough time for him to yell for help.

The man in black seemed to hesitate a little, but he only paused for a moment, and immediately raised his sword and charged towards Pei Jiqing, a burst of cold light flashed by, the Emperor Sword in Pei Jiqing's hand had been drawn out, and the faint light pointed straight at the man in black's throat , The man in black blocked it, another man in black raised his sword straight up, the two sharp blades collided, and wiped out the sparks.

However, the two of them only made three correct moves. The man in black had obviously stepped back. He stretched out his hand close to the wall, pinched a brick with all his strength, and threw it at Pei Jiqing quickly. The second man in black had no choice but to withdraw his sword and quickly Approaching Pei Jiqing——

In just a split second, the little brick hit Pei Jiqing's acupuncture point, his consciousness blurred instantly, he collapsed backwards, and the man in black flew over to protect him in his arms.
