Legend of the Orchid

In the early morning, the Youzhou Plain is filled with the bitter taste of gunpowder smoke. When the brilliance of the morning star gradually dims in the sky, the vast land is covered with a layer of cool white, and everything gradually becomes clear.

There was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and a few voices erupted in the camp, and then the silence returned. Not long after, the attendant suddenly shouted hurriedly from outside the tent: "Your Majesty, I have something to see!"

Li Zhonglan was still asleep, but Zhao Tingjie suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Come in!"

The attendant entered the account, showing a flustered expression, and said inarticulately: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is back!"

Li Zhonglan was startled awake, rubbing her eyes and trying to get up, but was held down by Zhao Tingjie, who whispered into his ear, "You go on sleeping, I'll go out for a while."

Li Zhonglan gave a "hmm" and closed his eyes again, Zhao Tingjie put on his coat and walked out of the tent with the guards.

The faint sense of unreliability in his heart made it difficult for Li Zhonglan to fall asleep. He thought over and over again what the guard said just now, and felt something was wrong. Suddenly, there was a loud noise in his head, and he understood that the guard said that Zhao Guangyi had returned!

Zhao Guangyi is not dead?Doesn't the court rank prove the crime of usurping the throne?

Oops, the courtyard is in danger!

Li Zhonglan quickly lifted the thin quilt, got up to look for his coat, he moved a little too fast, and the abdominal wound immediately began to hurt, so he had to hold his stomach and slow down as much as possible to prevent the old wound from bursting again.

There was a fierce fighting sound outside the tent, if you guessed correctly, Zhao Guangyi must have sent someone to get the court steps!

Li Zhonglan was in a hurry, and casually turned over a piece of Tingjie's clothes and wrapped it around her body, trying to find the Tingjie outside the tent.

At this time, a group of people suddenly broke into the camp, and the leader was Pan Mei with gray temples. At this moment, Pan Mei's fat and oily face no longer had a flattering smile, but was shrouded in a layer of black evil spirit. With a straight face, he shouted, "Take it down for me!"

The soldiers rushed forward, trying to catch Li Zhonglan. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Zhonglan turned into black smoke and escaped from the camp. Unfortunately, he fell into the mud in pain as soon as he got out of the tent.

Sure enough, Zhao Tingjie was fighting with a large number of soldiers in the distance. Zhao Guangyi hid behind his confidant general and watched with a sullen face. It seemed that he was determined to catch Zhao Tingjie.

Li Zhonglan struggled to get up, but in an instant several gleaming steel knives were wrapped around his neck. His arms were pulled, and his whole body was lifted up from the ground like a light feather. After kicking hard, the whole person "plopped" and knelt on the ground. After repeated violent shocks, his wound was finally torn open, and the pain made his eyes stare.

"Jun Wang, Li Changshi is in our hands, and you will be arrested if you are not obedient!" Pan Mei was eager to show off in front of the emperor just after finishing the task, which made Li Zhonglan quite disdainful.

Zhao Tingjie glanced at Li Zhonglan from a distance, and he really relaxed. The Longquan sword in his hand fell to the ground, and the soldiers beside him rushed up and tied his arms, making him unable to move.

Only then did Zhao Guangyi dare to come out. His left shoulder was wrapped with a bandage, and it seemed that he was indeed injured by an arrow. He still swayed a little when he walked, and his face was pale.

It's a pity, why didn't the arrow move down a few inches!Li Zhonglan gritted her teeth and thought.

"Take them to the deliberation camp." Zhao Guangyi wanted to put on a majestic tone, but his voice was hoarse, and he lost the sense of beauty in the past, which made him look a lot of vicissitudes.

Li Zhonglan felt guilty when she saw that she had caused Zhao Tingjie to suffer, but a cold smile appeared on his beautiful face. He wanted to help Tingjie, and the position of emperor should belong to Tingjie.

Lan Ting and two were escorted to the deliberation camp, and they were forced to kneel down on the spot. At the same time, there was a rather decadent Zhao Tingmei kneeling on one side.

Zhao Tingjie's arms were only bound, while Li Zhonglan was not only bound, but also served with two knives around his neck. He couldn't help sneering, if he really wanted to escape, could these decorations trap him!

Zhao Yuanzuo and Zhao Defang stood beside them, both looking anxious. Zhao Guangyi sat down on the dragon chair with a cold face, glanced at the three usurpers in front of him with sinister eyes, and said with a ferocious smile: "You are so big!" Courage! Think I'm dead!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help being furious, and threw the pen and ink on the table to the ground, and then broke out a series of violent coughs. Pan Mei immediately beat the emperor's back, and said flatteringly, "Your Majesty, calm down, the dragon's body is important."

Zhao Guangyi panted, turned his gaze to Zhao Tingmei, and said with a sneer, "My good fourth brother! I heard that you suggested the county king to be emperor last night?"

Before Zhao Tingmei could speak, Zhao Yuanzuo hurriedly helped to defend and said: "Fourth Uncle was forced to do so yesterday, we all got the news of Father's death, the country cannot be without a king for a day, Fourth Uncle will elect the county king to be the monarch. "

It's good that he didn't speak, this explanation immediately made Zhao Guangyi's head smoke with anger, Zhao Guangyi pointed at Zhao Tingmei and shouted at his son: "You bastard! Do you still have me in your eyes! He should embrace you if he wants to embrace the emperor! You He is the future prince, the future crown prince!"

These words also made Li Zhonglan furious. Zhao Guangyi now has a concept of sequential succession. Why didn't he think so when he took the throne away!

Zhao Yuanzuo was so red-faced by his father's scolding that he dared not speak out. He had never had ambitions for the throne, and he did not want to sacrifice the lives of his relatives, especially his fourth uncle, because of him.

He raised his heavy eyelids and looked at the fourth uncle worriedly, but the latter smiled sadly and said: "So, when the elder brother passed away in the past, De Zhao should be allowed to succeed him. The younger brother just did what he should do." That's all."

"Presumptuous!" Zhao Guangyi slammed his fist heavily on the table. Zhao Tingmei's words hit the old thorn in his heart. His eyes were filled with anger, and his expression had already fallen into madness. He pointed at Zhao Tingmei and Zhao Tingjie and roared: "Come on!" People! Drag these two traitors out and behead them!"

For a moment, almost everyone made voices in their throats to stop the emperor, only Pan Mei echoed with a distorted face: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you do anything?"

As soon as Pan Mei finished speaking, she pulled out her gleaming waist knife in the next second, and slashed at Zhao Guangyi's chest with one swipe.

However, before he succeeded, the knife was kicked away by the people around him. Zhao Guangyi was startled and angry, and scolded in disbelief: "Pan Mei, you actually want to murder me?"

After Pan Mei was captured, she was still dishonest, and she wanted to pounce on Zhao Guangyi with all her teeth and claws. His monkey-like funny smiling face disappeared, replaced by a vicious expression, as if a hungry ghost in hell was exiled to the mortal world, anxious Like preying on the living.

Another blow of saber wind hit, Zhao Guangyi was on guard and escaped, he thought to himself that something was wrong, turned his head to look, and immediately frowned.

Sure enough, Li Zhonglan was staring in his direction, his eyes were extremely firm and fierce, and he should be casting a spell.

Zhao Guangyi narrowed his phoenix eyes. At this moment, he looked at Li Zhonglan's eyes no longer with any ambiguity and passion, but full of strong hatred and fear. He pointed at the other party and shouted: "Kill him!"

However, the blade on Li Zhonglan's neck changed direction and flew towards Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Guangyi snatched a general's sword with his hands, and fought desperately with dozens of people in the camp.

Not to mention that Zhao Yuanzuo and Zhao Defang took control and fought with Zhao Guangyi, even Zhao Tingmei turned into a puppet, and rushed towards Zhao Guangyi fiercely. In an instant, swords, lights and swords in the tent all wanted the emperor's life.
