Willing to be hired by Jiangshan

Return to Yandan

None survived?

Lin Rongchen suddenly seemed to have been drained of all his strength.He clutched the skirt of his chest so hard that his knuckles turned white.There seemed to be something in the chest that exploded with a bang and shattered into thousands of pieces.Each piece turned into a sharp blade, cutting his flesh and bones inch by inch.

Luo Yu supported him, and was about to send him down to rest, but he spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the city wall of Hanguan red.

This problem of vomiting blood will not be cured if it is stained.

"What did you say?"

The scout had never seen the emperor, let alone such a scene, and was stunned for a moment.

"I asked you what you just said? Who died? Say it again." Lin Rongchen looked at him, his voice was clear and flat, and he couldn't hear anything unusual.But inexplicably, it makes people shudder.

The scout pursed his lips and repeated what he had just said.

Lin Rongchen wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Come on, drag it down and die!"

"Your Majesty, what is the crime of scouting? Why did you have to stick to death?" Luo Yu was shocked.

Yan Xi's death made him feel bad, but he can't blame others for it, right?

"What's the crime?" Lin Rongchen sneered, "You ask me what's the crime?" He held back his smile, pointed at the scouts, and his face gradually turned dark, "He cursed Yan Xi, and he deserves to be punished!"

"..." Why is it cursing Yan Xi?Yan Xi is just an academician of the Imperial Academy, not to mention that he is really dead this time, even if he made a mistake, he is not guilty of death! "Your Majesty, Lord Yan and the others only have a dozen or so people, and the other party has 10,000+ people, how can they survive?" Luo Yu put the emphasis on the word Wan.

Lin Rongchen looked sideways at Luo Yu, "Do you want to be shot too?"

Luo Yu's hair stood on end when he stared at him, thinking what happened to the emperor?Why did it suddenly become so scary?

The hero does not suffer from the immediate loss, Luo Yu hurriedly fell silent, not daring to speak any more.

As long as he didn't see it with his own eyes, Lin Rongchen didn't believe that Yan Xi would die!

How could that person die?

He took the scout's horse, jumped on it, and ran out of the city.

"Your majesty, the situation is unknown, so you must not go! What if the other party cheats?" Luo Yu hurriedly followed behind, "Hurry up, follow up, and protect the emperor!"

Lin Rongchen turned a deaf ear.

Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of him, he still has to make a dash for it!

Running wildly all the way to the foot of Shuangbai Mountain, Lin Rongchen suddenly reined in the reins.The war horse jumped up its hooves, neighing continuously, splashing the dust on the ground, filling it into a piece.

In such a hurry, the person who wished to change form and appear in front of Yan Xi in an instant, dared not take a step forward at this moment.

It seems that every step forward is separated by life and death, separated by heaven and earth.

Lin Rongchen was afraid that what the scouts said was true, and that he would find Yan Xi in the valley who had no breath.

If so, what should he do?

But he was afraid that if Yan Xi was still alive, what would he do if he stalled here and delayed the treatment?

Luo Yu watched him climb the mountain with bare hands, fell and fell again, watched him shake his shoulders to push away the fallen leaves from the face of the dead body, saw his eyes flushed, but endured desperately...

Maybe this Yan Xi is not just a Hanlin scholar?

The last person is not...

Lin Rongchen fell down in the grass, without any strength left, he was like a criminal who was escorted to the execution ground and got a moment's delay... More and greater despair followed, swallowing him whole.

"Your Majesty, maybe Lord Yan is a lucky man with his own celestial features. The last general asked people to search for him in the mountains. Just now, he has sent people to the Northern Zhou army to inquire to see if there is any news about Lord Yan."

Lin Rongchen sat up, did not speak, but searched all the way along the hill.He can't stop, what if Yan Xi is holding his breath and wants to take a look at him?

From noon to sunset, from sunset to darkness.

Knowing that he couldn't find anyone, he still couldn't stop, as if as soon as he stopped, he would see Yan Xi lying in the grass covered in blood, calling his name, and stretching out his hand to him, "If you don't come again, I'm going to die!"

"Your Majesty, go back!" Luo Yu didn't know how many times he said this sentence.He hoped that Lin Rongchen would lose his temper like he did on the city tower, but when he entered the mountain, Lin Rongchen could neither hear nor see anything except looking for someone.

His uniform had been torn by branches and stones in the mountains, and the hem of his clothes was dragged on the ground, stained with the sap of large leaves and grass.Perhaps tired and anxious, he looked like he might faint at any time, after hearing Luo Yu's words, he finally raised his eyes to look at him, "Have you sent someone to Northern Zhou? Any news?"

Luo Yu shook his head, "The scouts came to report that the Northern Zhou commander was seriously injured. After killing the dead soldiers, they withdrew. They didn't stay longer, and they didn't take any prisoners back."

"That's it..." Lin Rongchen sighed very softly, and the last ray of hope in his heart dissipated.He murmured, "If something happens to you, I will let the whole Northern Zhou Dynasty be buried with you..."

"Your Majesty, there will be a pack of wolves in the Shuangbai Mountain at night, so go back earlier!"

Lin Rongchen looked up at the frosty moonlight on Shuangbai Mountain, and slightly closed his eyes, "Lighten a fire here and stay here. I will go to the Northern Zhou camp."

Fortunately, they came out with two to three hundred people, and most of them were the Imperial Forest Army brought by Lin Rongchen from the capital.Luo Yu originally thought that finding a dead person should be extremely fast, but he didn't expect to waste such a long time in Shuangbai Mountain.If the news that the emperor came to Hanguan and reappeared in Shuangbai Mountain was known to Bei Zhou, how could he know that they would not make a comeback and kill them recklessly?

Hearing that he was going to be impulsive again, Luo Yu felt a sudden pain in his head, "Your Majesty, you are a man of gold, how can you take such a risk? The general will send someone to investigate again, if Lord Yan is really taken away by them , They will definitely use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with us, and Lord Yan will not have to worry about his life for the time being."

Luo Yu was trying to persuade him, when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes.Everyone hurriedly surrounded Lin Rongchen and hid in the woods.

Yiqi Juechen galloped along the path in the mountains.As they got closer, Lin Rongchen recognized the person, "Liang Yanwen!"

He had never thought that these three words sounded so nice.

Liang Yanwen reined in the reins, looked at the dark head, frowned, "Why is the emperor here?"

"Where's Yun Xin?"

Liang Yanwen looked at him, jumped off the horse, and lowered his voice, "A man with a long scar on the corner of his eyebrow and a mandarin knife pinned to his waist left."

"Long scars, mandarin duck knife... Wei Shao?" Lin Rongchen raised his head abruptly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "Yan Xi is not dead!"

Liang Yanwen gave him a blank look, "How could His Highness die?" He squatted near Bei Zhou's tent for a day before he caught two people to ask the news.

Lin Rongchen was overjoyed, "I will go with you to get him back!"

Liang Yanwen refused very politely, "No need!"

Lin Rongchen felt the joy of remaining alive after the catastrophe, and he didn't care about Liang Yanwen's rude words, so he quickly got on his horse and went to Hanguan.He had to send a letter back to the capital immediately, asking Zhao Xun to go to Wei Shao.

But Wei Shao didn't go back to the capital, but went directly to the residence of the fourth prince of Yandan - King Wen.

King Wen was not surprised to see him, continued tasting Biluochun, and said leisurely: "I heard that the grand master has already raised an issue?"

Wei Shao put Yan Xi on the ground, "Your Highness, do you still remember the agreement with the Grand Master?"

King Wen squinted his eyes when he saw Yan Xi's face, "This is...Xiao Jiu?"

Wei Shao nodded, "It's His Highness the Ninth Prince!"

King Wen got up, and the expression on his face changed when he heard this sentence, "Where did you find him?"

Wei Shao said: "His Royal Highness Nine has another identity in Yunchu——Yan Xi, a Hanlin scholar."

King Wen laughed, "I didn't expect this Xiaojiu to be quite capable! If the father knows that he has placed high hopes on him and taught the prince to become a model for other countries, he will die of anger!" King Wen laughed enough, and then He closed his smile and said darkly: "Since I was a child, as long as he is around, my father can't see anyone in his eyes!"

Wei Shao was too lazy to listen to the dirty things about the Yandan royal family, and cupped his hands and said, "The final general has brought people here, can I ask the Fourth Highness to help the Grand Master? The Grand Master said that as long as the matter is completed, he will help the Fourth Highness to eradicate it at that time. Dissidents, ascend to the position of crown prince!"

"Naturally!" King Wen nodded and winked at the person beside him, "Take His Highness Ninth Palace down and serve him well!" Then he ordered his generals to lead [-] troops to Yunchu.

For a moment, Yunchu was besieged on all sides.

On the one hand, Lin Rongchen wanted to quell internal strife and defend against foreign enemies, but on the other hand, he also had to worry about Yan Xi, making it difficult to sleep at night.However, after some people left, their lives were heartless, as if they didn't think of him once.

Yan Xi lived in King Wen's Mansion for more than a month, except for the 20-odd days when he was in a coma, for the remaining days, he never mentioned Lin Rongchen in front of anyone, nor asked his fourth brother or anyone about Yun Chu's current situation.

He seemed to have lost his memory, and he stayed quietly in the room every day, reading various books that King Wen had prepared for him.Occasionally when I get tired, I stare at a plantain outside the window in a daze.

"Hey! It's rare to see that Xiao Jiu is not reading! What are you thinking?" There was a fake smile on the corner of Wen Wang's lips.

Yan Xi withdrew his gaze, got up and saluted, "Brother Four!"

King Wen sneered back at this title, "Okay, you have been hypocritical since you were a child. While saying no, you are holding it firmly in your hand." He looked down on Yan Xi's deliberate pretending. With a lack of interest in everything, "You don't have anything to say or ask?"

"Ask what?" Yan Xi asked indifferently.

King Wen was choked by him, feeling bored, he just wanted to stab Yan Xi's chest, and said: "You have been away for five years, and you don't want to know what happened in the palace? How are your father and your mother and concubine?" By the way, when you left, your mother and concubine were pregnant, did you know?"

"If the fourth brother speaks, the emperor will listen. If not, the emperor will not ask." It's not that Yan Xi is not curious, but he already knew the current situation of Yandan the day he woke up.His father was seriously ill, and his mother and concubine passed away not long after he left Yandan, and he never saw the last side...

Yan Xi thought of Concubine Zhao, and before she could shed tears, she heard King Wen say: "Xiao Jiu, you must not know! The emperor you assisted in Yunchu seems to be dying. As long as he is gone, Yunchu will be dead sooner or later." Ours! At that time, the emperor will definitely give you a credit!"
