?? The smoke billows among the mountains in the distance.

?? The mountains are rolling and rolling, stretching to the end of the sky.Outside Yunye Mountain, a raging fire ignited at the east gate of Yunzhou City, almost burning half of the mountain peak.

??It only took half an hour to break through the city gate, but the Yu family's defense was timely. After half an hour of stalemate, the people were evacuated to the southwest corner.

??Yu Yang had not yet returned from Jinling City, so Yu Zhenqin had to personally supervise the battle.

?? But at this time.

??was awakened by the sound of fighting fire, Yu Luo, who had just changed his clothes, was about to open the door, when he heard the sound of a long knife separating the flesh, followed by a splash of blood on the closed door and window in front of him.

??Yu Luo's hand holding the door bolt trembled and let go instantly.

??"did you find it."

?? "It should be these few rooms."

?? After taking a few steps back, Yu Luo covered his mouth—whom they were looking for, probably they were looking for themselves.

?? He wanted to jump out of the window to escape, but just as he was about to open the window, he felt a cramping pain in his stomach.

?? Can't move.

?? Yu Luo cried and clutched her chubby stomach, looking around.

?? Dedicated to hiding in the innermost wooden cabinet.Yu Luo saw that there was a large wooden box containing clothes in the cabinet, so he moved as lightly as possible, opened the box again, and quietly got in.

??Just as the lid of the box was dropped, there was the sound of a sharp knife splitting the latch outside, and the sound of another person breaking through the window.

??——Fortunately, he didn't escape from the window just now.

?? It turned out that there was someone under the window.

??He held his breath and heard the footsteps of about two or three people.

?? With a creak, the wooden cabinet was opened.

??Yu Luo saw the light of the torch shining through the crack of the box, and covered his mouth even harder.

?? Shaking all over.But they didn't seem to notice the box in the corner. After searching the room, they closed the door of the wooden cabinet again. Hearing the footsteps fade away, Yu Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

??It was stuffy in the box, and Yu Luo's legs became numb after squatting for a while.

?? Just as he was about to go out, he was holding the box with his hands and was about to use his strength. Suddenly, there was a creak, and the door of the outside cabinet was opened again.

?? Yu Luo's hand trembled.

?? Why is there only one person left.

??The man didn't seem to notice that there was a dark box deep in the wooden cabinet, and he glanced at it before leaving.Yu Luo just breathed a sigh of relief, wondering if he had been crouched for too long, when suddenly the child in his belly kicked him hard.

??Caught off guard, Yu Luo snorted.

?? That very small voice was heard by the person outside.

??The wooden cover above his head was lifted with one hand, and Yu Luo closed his eyes tightly and dared not face it.

?? "Alo?"

?? Opening his eyes a crack, the person in front of him turned out to be Shen Zhaoxue.

??He stared at Yu Luo's chubby stomach in a daze, and then carried him out of the wooden box that was too narrow to hold a person.

?? "Alo, keep quiet."

??Yu Luo's legs were already numb. He blinked his red eyes, and let Shen Zhaoxue carry him out of the window. Seeing people lying in pools of blood everywhere, Yu Luo was almost nauseated To vomit.

??Shen Zhaoxue didn't dare to delay, and directly took him over the high wall, ran through a few dark alleys, and stuffed him into a carriage.

?? "Alo, do you trust me?"

??Yu Luo nodded, and Shen Zhaoxue untied her cloak and covered him, "Follow me, and I will take you out of the city."

?? "Why do you have to go out of town, my father?"

?? "Marquis Yu is at the east gate of the city, so he doesn't care about you."

?? "I will take you to Yanzhou. You can't stay in Yunzhou now. The dark guards are looking for you all over the city. You will be killed."

?? Shen Zhaoxue is the protagonist.

?? is the light of righteousness, he is the most upright and kind person.

?? If you can't even trust him, who else can you trust.

?? Yu Luo nodded vigorously.

?? It didn't take him much to convince A Luo, which surprised Shen Zhaoxue.He put the hood of the cloak on top of Yu Luo's head, covering most of his face, "My carriage can go out of Yunzhou, but I can't take you to Yanzhou. Here is the map, please keep it and go southwest. Bypass the official road, Yunzhou is very close to Yanzhou, the direction is accurate, if the horse is faster, it should only take an hour and a half, and we can reach Yanzhou before dawn."

??ah.

??Yu Luo looked at the densely-packed map in his hand and felt troubled. Shen Zhaoxue pointed to him, "We are here now, you are going here, it is faster to follow this road, but remember, this road , this road, and this road must be bypassed..."

??what what what.

??Can you say that again.

?? Yu Luo's face wrinkled into a ball.

?? "Ah Luo, you remember. I can't go any further, this carriage is left to you. I have to go."

??Before he figured out what the map looked like, the horse suddenly neighed and stopped, and Shen Zhaoxue's expression changed suddenly.

?? Shen Zhaoxue listened to the sound of people approaching, and stuffed A Luo into the gap under the seat in twos and threes, under the cushion cover to cover his curled up figure.

?? The door curtain was lifted.

?? "Your Highness, this is the direction of Yanzhou, you are going wrong."

??Shen Zhaoxue responded indifferently, "Understood."

?? The horse's head turned around, and just a few steps away, suddenly the door curtain was lifted again.

?? "Is there no one else in His Highness's carriage?"

??Yu Luo's heart was suddenly lifted.

"Presumptuous." He heard Shen Zhaoxue's angry voice.

?? "Your Highness, it was His Majesty who asked me to follow you. He said that if your carriage 'accidentally' drove towards Yanzhou, you must search for your carriage. This subordinate also obeyed orders."

?? Hearing this sentence, Yu Luo's heart rang loudly, but he couldn't resist the curtain in front of him being lifted.

??It's over.

??Yu Luo's heart sank to the bottom.

??***

?? The east gate of Yunzhou City.

??The sky had just turned white, and Yu Zhenqin had just narrowly won the battle. The remnant soldiers quickly retreated after encountering Yanzhou's rush to help.Yu Zhenqin captured Emperor Wei's younger brother Wei Gongjin and Yi Ying's rebel general before he heard that there was a fire in the mansion.

?? The fire was fierce, and it started half an hour ago.

??Half of it has been burnt and collapsed, and the other half is almost scorched black.

"Where are the people over there?" Only then did Yu Zhenqin understand that this battle was just to hold him back, and the ultimate goal was to burn down the Yu Mansion, "Where is my son?"

?? "The eldest son and the old lady have been rescued, with some minor injuries..."

?? "Where is Alo?"

?? "Young master..." the attendant stammered, "I haven't been able to find it. The fire started in the house of the young master..."

??Yu Zhenqin flickered in front of his eyes, wiped the blood off his face, "Go back to the house first and have a look."

??Lin Ji entered from the south of the city, headed straight for the east gate, and arrived at Yunzhou City just when the fighting stopped.

?? At that time, the sun was getting up, and the bright sunshine once again sprinkled on this mountain city.

??But riding the horse on the hillside, he saw the thick smoke billowing in the east of the city from a distance, he held the rein tighter in his hand, and the horse's hooves hurried.

??The one that was burned was indeed the General's Mansion.

?? The pungent scorched earth and the devastation made Lin Ji's eyes turn red.The sound of the fire close at hand seemed to coincide with the flames of the Nine-Story Pagoda in his memory. He seemed to be pulled back to that late night 16 years ago, when he saw his mother jumping off the tower in the raging fire.

??Stepping on dead wood with sparks, stepping into fragmented charcoal fire.

?? With a clatter, something fell on it, and instantly turned into white steam and disappeared in the wind.

??Wei Gongxun, he likes to attack cities and set fire to them.

?? Burn everything clean.

??Looking at the people in the Yu Mansion bringing out more than [-] corpses that had been burnt beyond recognition, Lin Ji asked in a trembling voice, "Where is Xiao Shizi Yu?"

??The attendant was not good at talking, and he didn't recognize Lin Ji, so he stammered back, "Yeah, I haven't dug it yet..."

With a swish, the sword at Lin Ji's waist was already on the shoulder of the attendant, "What are you talking about?"

"Yeah, I haven't found anyone yet." The attendant knelt down with a plop and kowtowed repeatedly, "Perhaps the young prince escaped before the fire started..."

??Lin Ji jumped off the horse and carefully looked at the twenty or so corpses on the ground.

?? Just as Yu Zhenqin came back, he also looked at the charred corpses dragged out of the ashes, his brows were tightly frowned, "They were not burned to death."

??The knife wounds on one or two of the necks were deep enough to show the bones, and there was no sign of struggle when they were burned by the fire.

?? After seeing it clearly, Lin Ji faltered, feeling that the rising sun hurt his eyes.

?? What about Arlo?

??where is he.

?? So many people died in the general's mansion, they were all assassinated first and then burned to wipe out the traces.When the war broke out, the city of Yunzhou was in chaos, and everyone couldn't take care of themselves. He was still pregnant with a child, so he didn't have the ability to protect himself and escape.

?? Can only be slaughtered.

??The voices of the surrounding people seem to be buzzing, and I can vaguely hear a few words, "Wei Gongjin", "Surrender", "Torture".There was a little redness in Lin Ji's eyes, and the tip of the knife in his hand was still shaking.

?? It's all because he spent too long arguing with the Xun family.

?? will give them the opportunity to report to the north.

?? It would be nice if we killed all of them directly from the beginning.

?? Why so much trouble, why bother.

?? Lin Ji squatted down and touched the ashes on the ground.

?? "Wei Gongjin was cut alive."

??Yu Zhenqin was startled, "Your Highness."

?? "I can't find out. Just chop it up, one hundred and eight knives, and let the jailer replace it if you get less. The bones are chopped up and thrown to the dogs, surrendered, what shit is surrendered, but it belongs to the Wei family Dogs, all be damned."

He almost gritted his teeth, "In Jinling City, the two sons of the Xun family were executed by Ling Chi. The corpses were hung to the gate of Jinling City. The Xun family surrounded them and killed one person a day until the old man of the Xun family showed up. until."

?? "Your Highness, Wei Gongjin is a general of the first dynasty after all, and he will be executed without going through the trial of the three divisions..."

?? Lin Ji clenched the knife in his hand, his face was cold and resentful, "Do it directly, and I will bear all the consequences."

"Search the east, west, south, and north gates of Yunzhou City. After the war broke out, all the people who entered and exited within three hours were reported to me clearly. If there are any omissions, they will be killed for dereliction of duty. The official road to the north intercepted people. Within the mile, let me search road by road along the way. When you encounter soldiers and horses of the Wei family, kill them directly and reward them with merit."

??Lin Ji's wrist trembled.

??The words were so ruthless that those who heard them trembled, but his eyes always fell into the scorched blackness.

?? Arlo and the kid won't be buried underneath.

?? He must have escaped.

??Yesterday at noon, he was still eating well, and he was still acting like a baby, begging him not to kill so many people.He still asked himself if he could take him back to Jinling City.

??yesterday.

?? Why in the end, did not take him to Jinling.

?? "Go, that direction, dig down two feet." Yu Zhenqin pointed at A Luo's residence.

?? Lin Ji grabbed Yu Zhenqin's hand, "No need to dig, A Luo is not below."

?? "How does Your Highness know?"

?? "He must not be here."

?? Having said that, his eyes were a little loose, and he forced himself not to look at the scorched black mass.

?? Yu Zhenqin found that his hands were as cold as the cold iron of the twelfth lunar month.

??After a while, the people from the north gate of the city came to report that a carriage went out at the second quarter of Yinshi, and it was the hands and feet of the Wei family.Hearing this news, Lin Ji's eyes finally trembled a little, no longer the stagnant look just now.

??Like a drowning man grabbing the last piece of driftwood.

"Quickly, go and track down the whereabouts of that carriage."

??***

?? "Brother, don't we go and exchange the Yu family boy for the life of the third brother!"

?? "Then Yu Zhenqin is really a fucking good fighter. You shouldn't have given him 12 military power back then!"

"Now there is the Pei family in the south and Yanzhou in the east. I'm afraid there will be a situation of three sides. No matter whether the Yu family boy should be killed or not, in any case, the third brother must be rescued before we can discuss countermeasures together." !"

?? Across a wall, the sound of arguments in that room kept ringing.

??Yu Luo's hands and feet were tightly bound, and when he was pulled out of the carriage just now, he had several bruises on his body, and he was still in pain.With a thick ball of cloth stuffed in his mouth, he squatted on the ground against the wall.

?? Stomach growling with hunger.

??It's really a shame that there is such a dilapidated little hut in this barren mountain.

?? I should not really just die here.

??It seems that they are still discussing whether to kill themselves or not.Yu Luo heard some meaning: it seems that Father won the battle and captured some people, and they wanted to exchange him.

?? "No need to change, the third brother should have been killed."

?? A vicissitudes and weak voice came through the wall.

?? Yu Luo remembered that it seemed to be the voice of the emperor of the Wei family. It was both thick and inexplicably sharp, very recognizable.

"I may be wrong. If Xiao Heng dared to send troops from Yanzhou to help Yunzhou, the relationship between him and Yu Zhenqin might not be just a joint interest - if I were him, I would definitely defend it." Let the soldiers and horses from Yanzhou go back to Jinling to proclaim the throne first. But he didn't do that, which proves that the Yu family is in his heart, or that the heir of the Yu family is in his heart...he has a very important weight."

?? "If this is the case, then the third brother will not be able to come back." Wei Gongxun's voice was hoarse, and every word he said seemed to be struggling, "Even if you send the eldest son of the Yu family back safely and soundly, it will not change." Back to the third brother's life."

?? There was a sharp sound of the long knife being unsheathed.

"Then kill him, dig out his belly and heart, and avenge the third brother!"

??Yu Luo was so frightened that his whole body shook.

?? There was a little sweat on his forehead, but he heard a sudden slap from the next door, and something shattered to pieces.

?? In another room.

??Shen Zhaoxue was lying on the ground, coughing up a small mouthful of blood because of a heavy slap.

?? Get up with your hands on the ground.

?? "What did you say, you say it again!"

??Wei Gongxun was originally angry, and at this moment he raised his voice and quickly coughed violently, "How much effort I have spent trying to save you from the Pei family, how much effort I have spent in raiding Yunzhou, you, you -"

?? "Your father has been poisoned into the heart, and there is not long to live. Wen Jun, everything he did was for you." The uncle accused angrily, "Your father wants to hand over the whole country to you. Wen Jun, how can you say that your father is vicious!"

?? "I don't need it at all!" Shen Zhaoxue coughed up blood a little bit, and wiped the blood off her lips.

??Take out the jade pendant at the waist. There is a circle of crystal clear blood jade on the outside, and a black round bead hangs in the middle. It is a rare treasure in the world.

?? The Pei family told him the reason for the jade pendant.

??That was 19 years ago, when the Pei family dug up a rare piece of Xuanli blood jade and made a pair of jade pendants.The queen mother of the Xiao family gave one to the prince who was only three years old at the time, and the other to Wei Gongxun.

?? "When you took this jade pendant from the Empress Dowager Xiao, do you still remember what you promised yourself?"

??Kangdang——

?? The jade pendant in his hand was thrown to the ground, and it shattered into countless pieces in an instant.

??The round bead in the middle, stained with the blood that Shen Zhaoxue just spat on the ground, with cracks, rolled to one side of the gray corner.

??——Received the grace of the Holy Grace, spring and autumn dew.I only wish that throughout my life, I will protect the subjects in peace and keep the people in peace.Live up to the grace of the king, live up to the will of the people, do your best, and die.

??At that time, the Empress Dowager of the Xiao family was afraid that Wei Gongxun had too much military power, so she gave this precious jade to remind him.

??The Crown Prince is still young, and His Majesty is in poor health.

??Wei Gongxun took this precious jade, and just swore in front of the Queen Mother with tears in his front feet, saying that their Wei family has been loyal and good for generations, and that he and his newborn son will guard the safety of the Xiao family for generations.

?? But turned around and went back to the mansion.

?? Immediately handed this jade pendant to his one-year-old son to play with.

??He said: "Son, look. You have what you can only have when you are a prince."

?? The child is babbling, not knowing what he is talking about.

?? Wei Gongxun held his son in his arms and held him high: "Don't worry, son. Father will—"

?? "I will hand over the whole country to you."

??Wei Gongxun still remembers the scene back then very clearly.

??For so many years, how difficult and dangerous he has come step by step, how many times he has escaped from death, and how many sins have been stained on his hands, before he finally sat in that position.

?? However, his Wen Jun, looking at him at this moment, only has that inexplicable alienation and hatred in his eyes.

??he knows.

??His son thinks that his throne has come from a wrong path.

"Half of the Xiao family's country was built by me, and I protected it! Without me, the country would have perished long ago with Xiao Tong as a sick child! Princes and generals, I would rather have a kind! Why was he born I can be an emperor, but I can't do it! His son is only three years old, why should I give the hard-earned country to that yellow-haired kid!" Wei Gongxun's heart heaved, and he coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

?? The poison had already penetrated into his lungs, and he didn't have long to live.

?? Such a desperate fight, just wanting to hand over the throne he finally obtained to his son.

?? "Yes, your father's throne is wrong! But if I pass it on to you, it will be right!"

??He had to mention his son and explain all the way ahead.

??Wen Jun has a kind heart, but I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand the treacherous evil of the Xiao family. He needs to explain everything to Wen Jun step by step.

?? So that even if there is something in case.

??Wen Jun can also sit on the throne smoothly.

"Wen Jun, come here, I'll tell you how to fight the next battle, you listen to your uncle... let's not kill the eldest son of the Yu family, he is probably Xiao Heng's sweetheart, and can be used at critical moments You can't vent your anger and kill them. It's better for Xiao Heng to transfer all the soldiers from Yanzhou now. For us, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It will be much easier next time. We can go straight to Yanzhou. It won't take two hours. Lead soldiers and horses straight down to Jinling. Listen to me, the current city defense of Jinling City is in the hands of Yu Zhenqin's daughter Yu Yang. As long as her own brother's life is used to force her, she will cooperate to open the gate of Jinling City. Let's take back the Miyagi Jinwu Guard from the Pei family in one fell swoop..."

??"I do not want."

?? The room was suddenly very quiet.

?? Wei Gongxun's heart was full of blood, "What?"

?? "I don't want the throne."

??The house is so quiet that you can hear the humming of birds and the rustling of green leaves outside.

?? "Wen Jun..." the uncle persuaded from the side, "Don't worry, with uncle assisting you, don't be afraid of those rebellious officials and thieves, we will definitely..."

?? "I'm not Wei Wenjun."

??His dark eyes swept across the faces of the two, "I am Shen Zhaoxue."

??Wei Gongxun was so excited that he spit out a big mouthful of black blood.

??The color of Shen Zhaoxue has not changed.

"I traced all the way to know who I am. Now I know, but I wish I never knew... If the desire for power is the reason for your unwarranted war and the excuse for you to brutally kill innocent people, then, I'd rather never have had a father like you."

??Shen Zhaoxue silently picked up the saber on the ground, and stepped on the blood that she vomited just now.

?? walked out the door calmly.

?? "Wen Jun, you should think about it, I said, I will hand over the whole world..."

?? Boom.

?? The door was slammed shut.

??Through a thin wooden door, Shen Zhaoxue resolutely took two steps back, knelt down on both knees, and kowtowed to his father and uncle for the last time.

?? "Xue Xue, I will bid you farewell."

?? Went to the next room, picked up Aluo who had finally broken free from the shackles, and carried away, but encountered obstacles when going out.

?? "Wen Jun, you can go. This young man of the Yu family must stay."

?? "I have to take him away today. If you want to kill him, kill me first."

??Uncle actually came here with a knife in his hand, and every move followed the deadly place. Those guards who were ambushing in the forest were dumbfounded and didn't know who to help for a while.

??An angry voice came from the door: "Wei Gongli, if you dare to kill my son, I will kill you!"

?? Wei Gongli, who had been punctured, was even more ruthless, and the fox tail finally took the opportunity to show, "Brother, your son is spineless anyway, why don't I help you clean up the house. Let my son hear about the throne." Come and sit down, Lin. Just now I got the news that the third brother was indeed killed by the remnants of the Xiao family, and he was cut alive. The third brother's military power should be taken over by me, big brother, do you think so?"

??As soon as the words came out, the door suddenly opened.

?? Wei Gongxun was furious for a moment, and he didn't know where the strength came from to point the knife at his brother, "You, you—"

?? "Break off his hand for me!" Wei Gongxun was so angry that he ordered someone to attack his second brother. The sound of swords and swords in the depths of the bamboo grove was ear-piercing. A horse rode up to the col.

"The third younger brother is already dead, isn't the eldest brother still planning to give the soldiers and horses to people of other surnames? I can also take Jinling, why don't the elder brother hand over the military power of the third younger brother to me, and I will replace Wen Jun Take this throne..."

??A few arrows sounded behind him, passing by his arm, covering Wei Gongxun's angry scolding: "Who the hell told you to shoot arrows? That's my son, my son!"

?? But the sharp arrow did not stop.

?? Yu Luo heard a snort, an arrow sank into his body, Shen Zhaoxue snorted, and then the long arrow hit the horse's hoof, Shen Zhaoxue rolled the man to the ground protecting the man in his arms.

?? Yu Luo was hit so violently that he suddenly lost consciousness.

?? When I woke up again.

?? I do not know is lucky, or unfortunately.

??He opened his eyes vaguely, and found that his hands were tied, and he was being supported and kneeling in front of the city wall of Jinling City. A closed vermilion gate in front of him was very dazzling and imposing.
