It turns out that I too have been robbed.

Qi Baili is a smart man, and what's more frightening is that he is a smart man who has walked out of the purgatory.

During the few months when Pei Ruzhou left Fengcheng, Qi Baili was no longer the fringe figure in Huazhang Palace.The most important thing is that he is now, and he no longer hides his ambition.

Qi Baili's visit to Zhoulan Pass was just to "take care" of the soldiers here on behalf of the emperor, but since he first chose to go deep into the Western Regions to find Pei Ruzhou, everything changed.

Unlike Pei Ruzhou, who grew up in the military barracks at the frontier and was familiar with military books, and was taught by General Pei, Qi Baili read a lot of books, but he could only talk about war on paper.

This time when he came to the Western Regions, he was not in a hurry to leave.

At the beginning, Qi Baili stayed here temporarily on the grounds of a sudden snowstorm. No one thought that this stay would last for two months.

Qi Baili watched Pei Ruzhou take medicine every day, and stayed by his side all the time. Besides, as a prince, he went directly to the battlefield with Pei Ruzhou.

On the day when Qi Baili went to the battlefield for the first time, people around saw him in heavy armor, and they were all panicked and worried.Only Pei Ruzhou didn't say anything, and boldly took the prince who had never been on a battlefield to the Gobi Desert to face the cavalry of the Western Regions.

Pei Ruzhou's idea is actually very simple - the book "Heavenly Prophecy" says that Qi Baili will rule the world in the future, although Pei Ruzhou doesn't know where Qi Baili will practice without himself, but the future emperor It's okay to learn more.

In fact, Qi Baili's performance was indeed amazing.

Although it was his first time on the battlefield, he was fearless, and after a few battles, even the thorns in the army were convinced.

After these two months, Qi Baili finally returned to Fengcheng.

What Pei Ruzhou also didn't expect was that this time Qi Baili didn't stay for long after returning to Fengcheng, and unexpectedly came again.It's just that when he came again, Qi Baili's identity changed - at this time, he was already a powerful official who came to patrol the border on behalf of Fengcheng and dispatched additional supplies.

Not long ago, Qi Baili was an unfavored abandoned son, but now he has become the most powerful among the many princes.

The ruling and opposition parties were extremely shocked.

Only Pei Ruzhou was different. He knew that Qi Baili would be the future emperor, and when he saw Qi Baili again, he had a feeling that it was true.

Time passed in this day-to-day battle. Under the eyes of everyone in disbelief, Pei Ruzhou actually defeated the Western Regions piece by piece.

In March of that year, Kepu Tower.

In May, accept Bing's family.

At the beginning of July, close Diaodian.

On the [-]th day of the seventh month, they arrived at Yuqiu royal court.

……

Pei Ruzhou's journey was so smooth that no one could stop him.All the victories that should have been recorded in the history books were only a few pens left on the paper.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival of this year, most of the fourteen countries in the Western Regions had been defeated by Pei Ruzhou.At the same time, Fengcheng sent people outside the pass.

Qi Baili was not the only one who came this time.

Perhaps it was because of seeing that the border gate was gradually stabilized under Pei Ruzhou's hands. This time, there were unprecedentedly many people coming to the Western Regions. The group was mighty and mighty, and it took more than two months to reach Pei Ruzhou's location.

The day I arrived happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The severe drought in the Western Regions still shows no signs of ending, so although they are retreating steadily, those countries still have no intention of giving up.

But at least now, they began to wait and see, and did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

When the people from Fengcheng came, a bonfire had already been set up in the center of the frontier camp.The young general in red was waiting here quietly with thousands of soldiers.

The silver light of the full moon in the sky sprinkled all the armors of the soldiers below, looking from a distance like the waves of the sea.

This time there were a lot of people coming to the border, and it looked extraordinarily grand.

Pei Ruzhou didn't know if the emperor had any other thoughts. At this moment, he no longer had the heart to care about these things.

Although Qi Baili has been to the Western Regions many times, but this time when he saw such a magnificent silver armor from a distance, it would be a lie to say that he was not shocked.

Before arriving at the destination, he got off the horse directly, led the black horse, and walked towards Pei Ruzhou's position.

When Qi Baili came here a few times before, he always went to Pei Ruzhou directly, and after he was exhausted, he wore relatively simple clothes.

This time was different.

Qi Baili was dressed in Chinese clothes and looked very formal.

Not only Pei Ruzhou discovered this, but other soldiers also discovered this.

Is there another reward in the capital?

——Everyone instinctively thought of this.

But the next moment, they denied their own ideas.

It's not that there has never been a reward over there before, but it has never been in such a grand posture.

Like other soldiers, Pei Ruzhou was wondering what happened.

This time they didn't wonder for too long, after Qi Baili got off his horse and followed closely behind, another man in a dark red robe also appeared.

Pei Ruzhou saw an imperial decree in the opponent's hand at a glance.

Pei Ruzhou, who was standing here quietly at first, gave a military salute to where the man was, and although the people behind hadn't seen clearly what the minister was holding, after seeing Pei Ruzhou's movements, , everyone followed him and saluted there.

The silver light flickered, like the rushing waves of the sea.

In an instant, the night was as bright as day.

Pei Ruzhou saw that the minister walked across from him, and then bowed to him.Although Qi Baili often came to the border before, he had never had such a grand posture, and Pei Ruzhou had never seen an imperial decree.

Although he knew that what happened in a short while was definitely a good thing, but for some reason, Pei Ruzhou felt more and more uneasy.

His heart was beating wildly, and he always felt that something big was about to happen.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict said..."

Logically speaking, Pei Ruzhou should lower his head and wait quietly now, but how could his character hold it back?

After the first sentence came out, Pei Ruzhou silently raised his head and looked at the person who read the imperial decree.

No one found out what he was doing.

No one noticed that Pei Ruzhou's expression was actually nervous.

It was too quiet at night, everyone knelt in place and remained motionless, even the crackling sound of the bonfire was very clear.

When Pei Ruzhou heard it, the minister said——Pei Ruzhou had made unstoppable military exploits for the dynasty, and the emperor was determined to reward him to show the greatness of the emperor's grace.

Unlike the princes and grandchildren in the capital, the soldiers at the border did not have that much respect for the imperial power, which was why the emperor was always jealous of Pei Ruzhou's family.

They only have generals in their eyes, not emperors.

What's more, now that the emperor thinks about cultivating truth and longevity all day long, and the news of ignoring the government has spread to the border. These soldiers who are shedding blood for the country every day especially look down on his behavior and thoughts.

Of course, these soldiers usually don't show this, they just spit out words occasionally.

But no matter what they thought about the emperor and the entire Fengcheng, after hearing what the imperial decree said, everyone couldn't help being happy.

The emperor's reward!This is the first time in this dynasty.

But Pei Ruzhou's reaction at this time was completely different from the others.

Because at the moment when the edict was spread out, he suddenly remembered a question that he had ignored for a long time.

...Pei Ruzhou was busy fighting the war before, so he didn't think about it deeply.But now, after a little recollection, it can be found that in these few wars, there were no soldiers who had no titles before but performed exceptionally well.

So who was it that was mentioned in the "Prophecy of Heaven"?

The answer seems obvious at this moment.

At this moment, Pei Ruzhou's heart was beating wildly, and he, who was still observing that person just now, silently lowered his head.

Pei Ruzhou hid his emotions, even Qi Baili didn't realize this.

The person who came to the border on behalf of the emperor was still reading the imperial decree loudly in an extremely exaggerated tone.

With the crackling of the bonfire, his voice echoed throughout the Gobi Desert.

The man said: "... Pei Ruzhou is specially granted the title of Marquis of Guangce..."

After this sentence, he said a lot more, everyone sighed at the emperor's generosity, but only Pei Ruzhou completely lost his mind after hearing this sentence.

Marquis Guangce.

No one is more familiar with this name than Pei Ruzhou.

"Marquis Guangce recovered the fourteen countries in the Western Regions. In the same year, Qi Baili, the sixth son of the emperor, exterminated the guards and proclaimed himself emperor."

At this time, the words that had been deeply engraved into his soul resurfaced from the bottom of his heart again.

So it turns out that the Guang Cehou mentioned in "Heavenly Prophecy" is himself?

Pei Ruzhou couldn't help but feel chills in his heart when he thought of his recent military exploits.

It turned out that he had already seen his future a long time ago.

Recover the fourteen countries of the Western Regions!

It turns out that a mortal like myself will also be written in "Heavenly Prophecy"?

At this time, Pei Ruzhou was not happy at all, he thought of Netherworld, Nine Heavens, and all kinds of inexplicable things that happened recently.

He doesn't think these things are as simple as they appear on the surface.

... I and Qi Baili, are they really just ordinary people?

Pei Ruzhou is not an arrogant person, but everything now makes him have such doubts.

I don't know how long it took, but the official in red finally finished reading the imperial edict.And Pei Ruzhou got up numbly, and took the imperial decree from his hand with a blank expression.

"Chen Pei Ruzhou took the order to thank you!"

At the moment when the golden imperial decree was taken back into his hands, a thought popped into Pei Ruzhou's mind - is it possible that he and Qi Baili also came from Jie?
