Several people closed the door tightly, and sat down to discuss countermeasures.

Qiu Chen pondered for a moment, and finally said: "In this situation, there is only one way out,? That is to fake my death."

Yao Xue pondered for a moment, and said with some concern: "It's very risky to do this."

Qiu Chen nodded: "But this is also the surest way. If we want to bring down Qi Yu, we must follow his plan first, so that he can show his fox tail. If we act rashly now, we will only scare the snake away. ,? Emperor Ningyuan will not believe our one-sided words."

Yao Xue also knew in her heart that this was the only way to bring down Qi Yu.But this strategy is too risky. If he is not careful, he will be doomed. He is extremely worried about Qiu Chen's safety.

You Yi on the side hurriedly said: "Qi Yu is very suspicious,? I haven't sent him any news all day, so he's probably already alert. If you want to implement the suspended animation plan, I'm afraid you have to start now Ready. And," he said here, with a serious expression: "Qi Yu will definitely ask to see the corpse. Only after he has seen it will he feel at ease. We have to be fully prepared."

Qiu Chen snorted when he heard the words, but didn't seem to care: "It's okay, then let him see it."

……

It's already night,? The main city is quiet, and everything seems to be the calm before the storm.

You Yi stood at the door of Qi Yu's room, listening to the unbearable voice inside, took a deep breath, suppressed his nausea, and gently knocked on the door.

Qi Yu responded impatiently inside, and after a long time, he got up and opened the door.

You Yi frowned imperceptibly, walked in the door expressionlessly, looked at Qi Yu without looking sideways and said, "Your Highness, the matter has been settled." As he spoke, he put the empty medicine bottle on the on the table.

Qi Yu was startled at first when he heard the words, and then his brows were filled with joy.He hurriedly put on his robe, patted You You on the shoulder, and said with great admiration: "The efficiency of your work is pretty good. It counts that I have not cultivated you in vain for so many years."

You Yi saluted, suppressing the hatred in his heart, forced a smile: "His Highness appreciates it. The subordinates will naturally do well what His Highness ordered."

Qi Yu didn't notice any clues. He was completely enveloped by the bright prospect of ascending the throne in the future, and said briskly: "Take me to see the corpse."

You Yi brought Qi Yu to Qiu Chen's residence, and as soon as he opened the door, there was an unusually pungent smell of blood.

Qi Yu couldn't help cursing, but he raised his eyes and saw Qiu Chen lying on the couch, the whole couch was covered with shocking black blood, and he couldn't help showing a distorted smile on his face.

You Yi pretended to cover his mouth and nose, and stopped Qi Yu from going forward as Qiu Chen taught him before, and said with great concern: "Your Highness, don't go forward again. The blood is also highly poisonous, how much poison is there just now?" A servant who was cleaning up accidentally bumped into it, and was out of breath at that time."

Qi Yu frowned upon hearing this, remembering what Liang Mo had told him before about the ferocious toxicity of the mad blood poison, he believed in what You Yi said.So he didn't go forward to check any more, just turned around and went out, and ordered You Yi: "You quickly dispose of the corpse, and kill all servants who know about it." Qi Yu was in a good mood, and he took another shot Patting You Yi's shoulder, he smiled triumphantly and said, "I'm afraid things will change in this army."

You Yi looked at Qi Yu's back with killing intent in his eyes.

……

After Qi Yu and You Yi left, it took another incense stick before Qiu Chen slowly sat up from the couch.

Yao Xue had been hiding behind the closet just now, in case of accidents, now seeing Qiu Chen sitting up, he hurried to the couch, took out a handkerchief from his cuff and handed it to Qiu Chen.

The blood in the room was all chicken blood that Bai Yu found temporarily, and it was mixed with some special medicine prepared by Qiu Chen, so it had such a choking smell.Qiu Chen was choked and coughed, he took the handkerchief, wiped the blood on his face and body in disgust, and couldn't help complaining: "What's the matter?"

Yao Xue smoothed the other party's hair silently, and said in a low voice: "I think Qi Yu won't pay attention to you for the time being, but you should hurry up tonight and go to Xiaxi to meet Ji Xi. They should have just arrived at Xiaxi now." The creek is not long. The horse has been prepared for you, and you can reach your destination before dawn according to the shortcut I showed you. For the rest, we will come as planned."

Qiu Chen nodded, but didn't get up, just looked at Yao Xue for a while, his eyes full of reluctance.He raised his hand and wanted to hug him, but he put his hand down again considering that his body was covered in blood and he was afraid of being found out.

Yao Xue looked at Qiuchen and knew it in her heart.He looked around slightly, pulled a clean cloth towel laid beside the couch, wrapped it around Qiu Chen's body, then directly pinched the other's chin, and began to kiss him very hard.

The two lips and teeth intertwined, and after a while, they separated from each other tacitly.Qiuchen held Yao Xue's face in his hands, looked at him with his bright eyes in the dark without blinking, and said softly, "I'm leaving."

Yao Xue pushed aside the broken hair in front of Qiu Chen's forehead, kissed the other's forehead lightly, and said softly: "Go." He looked into Qiu Chen's eyes with a smile: "Don't forget, the relationship between us The room is planted with the same heart Gu. No matter where you are or what you are doing, I can feel it."

Qiu Chen pursed his lips and nodded.He shook Yao Xue's hand very hard, finally stood up, pushed open the door and walked away quickly.

Yao Xue stayed in the house and tidied up briefly, dealt with some important things, and informed You Yi again, before returning to her house at dawn.

After washing for a long time, he washed away the strange and unpleasant smell of blood on his body, and burned Qiuchen's favorite peach blossom fragrance in the room, and his heart felt a little more at ease.

He didn't have the habit of burning incense, but when he saw Bai Yu and Ji Xi a few days ago, they both complained that he was too fragrant and didn't want to get close to him. Only then did he realize that he and Qiu Chen stayed together all year round. At the same time, the body was actually infected with the smell of the other party.He liked peach blossoms, so he simply asked Qiu Chen for some spices, and used them in the house from time to time.

Yao Xue allowed herself to think endlessly for a while, and then began to think about the plan in her mind again.

Once Qi Yu has the military power, it will become extremely difficult to deal with.Excluding Ji Xi's team and the lost troops in the past two days, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in the Xianling of the Yong Army, plus the soldiers brought by the Liang Kingdom, the army they will fight against this time is nearly 10 [-] people.

You Yi is the commander of the Forbidden Army. Although he fought with Qi Yu this time, he has many subordinates in Wangcheng. Some of these people are Qi Yu's people, and the other part are You Yi's own cronies.Most of these teams are elite, and if they are assembled, they are also a force that cannot be underestimated.At the same time, what Youyou has to do is to stabilize Qi Yu, make him believe in himself completely, without any suspicion, so as to spy on his further plans.

In addition, when Qiuchen arrives in Xiaxi, he will write a book and send it to Qi Wenying, telling him that there has been a change in the army, and asking her to ask Emperor Ningyuan for instructions at the right time, so that her husband who is far away in the northwest will lead troops back to Yanyang to escort him .

Qiuchen lived in the palace these days and often accompanied Yijing. He had chatted with Qi Wenying a lot, and found that Qi Wenying was not only knowledgeable, but also had his own views on the strategy of governing the country.Although the relationship between the two is far from brotherly affection, they both appreciate each other very much.Now that the country is in trouble, Qiu Chen can still trust Qi Wenying.

The army on Ji Xi's side has [-] troops, which is not a small team.Previously, Qiu Chen dispatched him to Xiaxi, originally intending to attack the city from the rear, but now he happened to let this army take a detour without anyone noticing, returning to Yanyang from the other side of Xiaxi to escort him.

As for Yao Xue's side, it was even more crucial.The army he commanded was one of tens of thousands of troops, with a large number of people, and they were all loyal to him.He is definitely Qiu Chen's party, Qi Yu has always regarded him as a thorn in his side, this time Qiu Chen suspended his death, I don't know whether Qi Yu will use him or keep him.

But no matter what, he and Bai Yu will pretend to submit to Qi Yu first, return to Yanyang with the army, and then counter-kill Qi Yu.

Yao Xue recalculated a series of complicated plans in her mind, and finally took a nap when the sky was already pale.

As Yao Xue expected, just after dawn, the horns for the army's assembly were sounded.

When Yao Xue came to the barracks, she saw Qi Yu standing on a high place, looking at the generals below with satisfaction.Seeing that everyone was here, he said unhurriedly: "I have summoned you today because I have something important to tell."

"Last night, our eldest prince, His Royal Highness, died of a sudden illness due to unacceptable water and soil conditions. Since the cause was unknown, I was worried that there would be an epidemic in the army, so I disposed of the body overnight."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and there was a lot of discussion below.

Qi Yu looked at the expressions on everyone's faces with satisfaction, and continued: "At present, there is a vacancy in the army. The old generals are old, and the young ones have no skills." Glancing at Yao Xue, he continued, "So, I will take over as the commander of the army. It's just..."

When Qi Yu said this, he clapped his hands. In an instant, a large number of soldiers poured out from around the barracks and surrounded them.

Yao Xue took a closer look, and sure enough, these people were soldiers from Liang State, and many people wearing Yong State uniforms were all Qi Yu's cronies.

All the generals were horrified when they saw this, and pulled out their weapons one after another.

Qi Yu looked down at the crowd: "It's just that the purpose of our conquest this time may have to be changed. As he spoke, the military flag with the word "Yong" written on it was torn off from the general, and stepped on. At his feet, he said loudly: "The current tyrant of Yong Kingdom has no justice, and the people are in dire straits.The tyrant has repeatedly bullied the weak neighbors, and the practice of bullying the weak is despised by all countries.Today I will do justice for the heavens and get rid of the tyrant! "

When Qi Yu said this, he glanced around arrogantly, and said slowly: "I have always been fair and just. If anyone has any objection to this, I will never force it."

When everyone saw that he was going to seek rebellion, they all talked a lot and were extremely frightened.After a while, a highly respected old general stepped forward first.He took off his armor and threw it on the ground, and scolded Qi Yu, scolding him for collaborating with the enemy and treason, for being disloyal and unrighteous, and for being a vain minister.

After hearing this, Qi Yu remained calm, and just smiled and made a "please" gesture to him, asking the surrounding Liang army to make way for the old general to leave.

Many people hesitated to stand still, and some people stood up and left with the old general.

Everything was expected, Yao Xue and Bai Yu watched secretly, without saying a word.

After a long time, until no one stood up, Qi Yu shouted: "Is there any more?" Seeing that no one came out again, he twitched the corner of his mouth, showing an extremely happy smile, and turned to face the surrounding Liangjun faintly. Said: "Kill."

In an instant, a group of soldiers used their spears to assassinate the generals who had just come out one by one.

Qi Yu grinned at the crowd and said, "Have you all seen it? Whoever dares to disobey me in the future will end up a thousand times worse than them!"

Everyone was shocked and afraid, and they dared not raise any objections.Yao Xue watched this scene, clenched her fists tightly, and stared fiercely at Qi Yu from below.

Qi Yu also saw him, and suddenly pointed at Yao Xue, and said with a smile, "You, come out."

Yao Xue's heart tightened, but she walked forward calmly.

Qi Yu stared at him for a while, then said in a low voice: "You boy, you are quite sensible. It seems that you don't have much real affection for your friend."

In order not to arouse Qi Yu's suspicion, Yao Xue suppressed her nausea and gave a salute, without leaking a word: "I am a subject, and I will do whatever the Lord tells me. I have never had any selfishness. I don't recognize people, only the monarch and ministers. Since the eldest prince is dead, then the subject will naturally have to find another new master. The monarch is above, and the subject is below, and the way of the monarch and minister, the subject dare not object."

Qi Yu was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and after a while he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "What a way of a monarch and his ministers! I finally understand now how you, a bastard from a remote village, managed to survive in this dynasty until today! You are just clinging to the powerful and relying on others !"

Yao Xue gritted her teeth tightly, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness is too well-respected."

Qi Yu seemed to be in a good mood. He patted Yao Xue on the shoulder and said, "If you make great achievements in battle this time and help me ascend to a high position, you will be indispensable to the glory and wealth."

As he spoke, he signaled Yao Xue to follow him to the military tent beside him.

Yao Xue suddenly became alert, and asked You You who was beside him with her eyes, but You You just shook his head slightly at him, as if he didn't know.

Qi Yu didn't notice their small movements, turned his head to Yao Xue and said, "I don't know if you still remember this person?"

Yao Xue looked up into the tent, and was a little surprised to see that Liang Feiyue was sitting at the table, watching him with a complicated expression.
