i am afraid

"You said His Majesty died?" Pei Yue exclaimed, "When did it happen? How long did it take you to deliver the news?"

The messenger soldier kneeling in the center of the big tent just got off his horse, breathless, "Report to the lord, yes, it happened the day before yesterday, the news was strictly blocked, and the palace was under martial law not long after our people left." , A large number of troops came out of nowhere, surrounded the entire capital, about 20, King Qin is also urgently dispatching troops from the southeast, lord, if we don’t go back, it’s really too late!”

A blade-like light flashed in Jiang Ling's eyes. He licked the corner of his mouth and showed an extremely proud smile, "There is nothing too late. I only need ten days to reach the royal court. Pei Yue, you go back to the camp, Take your 20 Pei family army, go to the capital, and take back everything that belongs to me!"

Pei Yue took a deep breath, clasped his fists in a rare and serious way, and said, "My lord, this is inappropriate. You go, this is what everyone expects, and if you belong, it will be unfair."

Jiang Ling: "Do you want to disobey the military order?"

Pei Yue wanted to say something more, Jiang Ling waved: "I order you now, go back to the camp."

Pei Yue knelt down on the ground with a plop, and Jiang Ling's tone softened: "The capital is violent and chaotic. I'm worried about Xiao Yan. Pei Yue, I only trust you. If you don't go, I'm really worried."

Pei Yue was silent for a while, then suddenly got up and walked out of the tent.

Zhen Guohou Pei's family is a generation of generals. The ancestor Pei Qi used soldiers like a god. He followed Taizong to found the country and made great achievements. Compared with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, the Pei family's army has a higher reputation among the people, even in the army. , Pei Yue's identity is also very useful. For such an important matter as dispatching troops, he just brought Jiang Ling's handwriting and completed a series of steps in dispatching and gathering troops to set off within an hour. No one objected.

It is thousands of miles from Mobei to the king's capital, even if it is a quick march, it will take four or five days. This is only the speed of the cavalry, and the infantry is even slower, but their number is equal to that of the chaos army, and regardless of their combat effectiveness, they must not be idle. , I have fallen behind, so it will take more than a month at the fastest to arrive.

For the first time in his life, he desperately hoped that no matter which king King Rui of Qin was, he could show his might and restrain these rebels until he came to rescue them.

Jiang Yan met Zhou Wanyi and the Seventh Prince on the third day. He was taken to Chengtian Hall, where the coffin of the imperial grandfather was still parked. Many ministers and nobles who had not had time to escape were also arrested here. The crowd looked back and forth, but he was relieved that he didn't see his sister.

No matter what, as a man, he is always much safer than his sister, at most he is just dead.

"Second Young Master, we met again." A frivolous voice came from the side, Jiang Yan frowned, turned around, and saw that it was the man he had met at the Anping Hou banquet that day, and he was younger now than he was then. He was much more embarrassed, his hair was loose, his clothes were loose, revealing a large piece of white chest, and there were some sporadic bruises on it, probably because he had been frozen for a long time, and his lips also showed an abnormal purple color, but The smile is still so frivolous.

"What happened? Why were we brought here?" Jiang Yan looked up at him. He didn't know many people here, so he had to ask him.

Jiang Ying was slightly stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect such a big thing to happen. Jiang Yan didn't know anything about it. He looked at Jiang Yan behind Jiang Yan who was staring at his team without blinking. , the corner of his mouth curled up: "So you don't know yet? Concubine Liang rebelled, and now Beiling City is in their hands."

Jiang Yan had indeed thought about it before, but the information he could get was really limited, and he couldn't imagine how Zhou Wanyi, a woman from the deep palace, got such a large force to control the capital, so it was just a guess all the time. , Now that it is confirmed, it is calm.

Left and right are all for the throne, he has no soldiers, no power, no power, his father's old ministry has long since fallen apart, there is nothing for people to plot and plot, as long as his sister escapes safely, what is there to be afraid of?

Jiang Ying suddenly moved his face closer to Jiang Yan, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry about the princess, she will be fine."

Jiang Yan was not used to being so close to people, and instinctively wanted to back away, but before he had time, Jiang Ying's head was punched off the side, and the team, who was blushing when talking to Jiang Yan, was coldly withdrawing his hand , Standing back behind him.

Jiang Ying spread his hands and took a step back.

No one paid attention to the little tricks here. Amidst the discussion among the crowd, Zhou Wanyi, who was dressed as a queen mother, led the seventh prince out. Does not match.

Jiang Yan frowned. Even though he had no relationship with the imperial grandfather, he knew how to change into plain clothes these days. Zhou Wanyi was the imperial grandfather's favorite concubine, and the seventh prince was the imperial grandfather's favorite prince. These two people were so ignorant of etiquette.

The moment Zhou Wanyi and the Seventh Prince appeared, the hall fell silent. Jiang Ying looked away from the two of them, narrowed his eyes slightly, and whispered to Jiang Yan, "Do you know how the wolf died? He died."

Jiang Yan turned his eyes, looked him up and down with clear eyes, and said softly: "I don't know when or how they died, but I know how you died."

Jiang Ying smiled and wanted to say something, when Jiang Yan took off the cloak on his body, handed it to him, and said quietly: "Frozen to death."

The warm and thick cloak covered his frozen shoulders. Although the boy's height, his knee-length cloak could only cover his waist, but it resisted the cold wind that kept eroding him. Jiang Ying lowered his eyes , under the gaze of the team who was almost eating people, slowly wrapped the cloak tightly and fastened it.

Zhou Wanyi didn't know what to say on the stage, and the crowd suddenly became very excited. An old official yelled something loudly. His throat was cut by the imperial guards standing aside, and he fell to the ground. His body twitched a few times, his eyes Protruding, not moving, it is actually death.

Jiang Yan clenched his fists, he didn't say anything, and stepped back a few steps with his head down, as if he wanted to find some support, he leaned against the dragon pattern pillar.

There are nine dragon-pattern pillars in Chengtian Temple, nine is the extreme number, symbolizing the nobility of the royal family. Nine golden dragons are wrapped around each dragon-pattern pillar. Jiang Yan remembers that his father took him to touch them one by one when he was young. He said that only a wise emperor would become a dragon on this pillar after his death, which would never fade away. He also lied to him, saying that when he became emperor in the future, he would definitely be made a prince. The dragon on this pillar.

Just now, the old official's blood splashed on the dragon pattern pillar, and it was staining red the eyes of a golden dragon underneath. Jiang Yan wiped it with his sleeve.

"What are they talking about?" Jiang Yan seemed to be asking the team, as well as Jiang Ying, but he answered it himself.

"By the way, I remembered that Zhou Wanyi wanted Uncle Qi to be the emperor, but they didn't want to, so they killed him, right?"

Jiang Yan's voice was very soft, Jiang Ying turned his head to look at Zhou Wanyi who was holding the Seventh Prince's hand proudly, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Hurry up."

"What's coming soon?" Jiang Yan raised his head, his eyes seemed to be injected with a ray of light, suddenly lighting up the surroundings, and he stood there like a beautiful ink painting.

Jiang Ying paused, raised his hand to lower his head, and walked around behind the dragon pattern pillar. The team was silent for a moment, acquiescing to his actions.

Jiang Yan didn't know what was going on, and wanted to say something, when Zhou Wanyi's scream suddenly sounded, and the whole hall fell silent, followed by a loud commotion.

Jiang Ying said in a low voice: "Brother, I think you are a sensible person. Instead of dying with that woman, you might as well let us go. I, Jiang Ying, will do what I say. In the future, no matter who takes that seat, They won't bother you."

The team was looking at him coldly: "What are you talking nonsense about?"

The corners of Jiang Ying's lips turned up, and she pouted towards the outside direction, "Don't believe me? Go out now and see if that woman is dead."

The team was gritting their teeth, and put the knife on Jiang Ying's neck: "You go with me."

Jiang Ying snorted and stood up without hesitation. Jiang Yan didn't know what they were talking about, and was about to follow him when Jiang Ying raised his hand and struck him on the back of the neck. His vision went dark and he fainted. past.

The team turned around suddenly, and saw Jiang Ying smiled at him, and then raised his hand to press on the dragon's eyes that Jiang Yan brushed just now, a large piece of marble ground suddenly collapsed, Jiang Ying held Jiang Yan and fell calmly, the team Zheng Zheng's eyes became fierce in an instant, he didn't care about anything, and jumped down directly.

After a short while, the ground became flat again, and no one who looked at it could find any trace of someone coming.

Jiang Ying has always felt that no matter how beautiful a person's appearance is, it will never be as beautiful as the history books say, so beautiful that people forget Jiangshan Sheji. He thinks it is mostly emotional factors, and men who fall in love are always crazy. But after seeing Jiang Yan, he knew what the real beauty of a subjugated country is.

Regardless of love, he is like the bright moon in the sky suddenly falling into the world. This kind of beauty will make people uncontrollably want to possess, to defile, to profane, only profane.

The door was kicked open vigorously, the cold face of the team appeared behind the door, Jiang Ying's hand was still resting on the lapel of Jiang Yan, whose eyes were closed and lethargic, and was punched hard, the confusion in his eyes gradually faded away .

"I, I just want to see why he hasn't woken up yet." Jiang Ying raised his hands to prove his innocence.

The team was looking coldly over Jiang Yan's scattered clothes, and poked Jiang Ying like a knife.

They have been trapped in this underground palace for three days since they fell from the mechanism behind the Dragon Pattern Pillar that day. Jiang Yan has not woken up yet. The team is running out of patience and comes here with a knife to kill Jiang Ying. , and then led Jiang Yan to find a way out, only to see Jiang Ying confronting Jiang Yan as soon as he arrived... He clenched the knife tightly in his hand, ready to chop him into pieces.

The author has something to say:

"Beware of Perverts"

Traitor A who touches his leg: Hmm, that's right, the county lord, be careful.

Traitor C who licked feet: Mmmmmmmm, what Your Majesty said is correct.

Elder Sister Sang: ...All give way, make room for me.
