--57--

At that time, Tan Muhan had just returned from a trip, and upon his return, he heard the news that Nantan was attacking Xidan.Moreover, they have lost two cities.

Dan Muhan immediately went to see his father.

King Xidan looked sad, and was discussing countermeasures with several ministers.

Dan Muhan came in and knelt on one knee, "Father, let me go."

The king of Xidan asked him to get up, and said sharply, "It's a joke, we in Xidan haven't reached the point where we need the prince to go to war."

Tan Muhan said, "Father, I am friends with the seventh prince of Nanyang. This time Nanyang attacked us suddenly, but I didn't receive any news. I think something is wrong."

King Xidan sighed, "Silly boy, he is the prince of Nantan, how could he really make friends with you."

"Father, he is different..." Dan Muhan was a little anxious, "Just let me go."

Several ministers also seconded.

After thinking deeply, King Xidan let go, "Okay."

Dan Muhan wrote a letter to Yan Yuji and Zuo Yunpin.With Chu Lingfeng and a hundred thousand troops, they rushed to Dancheng.

A month later, Tan Muhan successfully took back Dancheng.He has been waiting for a reply from Yan Yuji, but there is no news for a month.

On this day, Chu Lingfeng brought him another piece of news.It is said that Bei Teng also suddenly attacked Xidan, and Qicheng on the border with Bei Teng has already fallen.

Tan Muhan suddenly had a particularly bad feeling, and Nan Yan and Bei Teng attacked together.

"How many people did your father send to Qicheng?"

Chu Lingfeng said, "20."

"20..." Tan Muhan felt extremely uneasy.He brought 20 and went to Beiteng for [-].

Isn't there only less than [-] left in the capital, that palace.

"Go, let's go back quickly."

The more Dan Muhan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he handed over this place to a few reliable generals under his command, and he rushed back to Kyoto with 2 people.

Unfortunately, he guessed right.

When Tan Muhan rushed back to the palace, his second brother brought 3 people to force his father to step down from the throne. None of the disobedient ministers were spared, and their families were burned and destroyed. Close the door and dare not go out.

In the palace, the second prince took control of the palace.

King Xidan was so angry that he vomited blood and died angrily.And none of the people in his palace survived.

The queen was forced to be buried.

All concubines were also temporarily imprisoned in the cold palace.

Some eunuchs and maids died tragically under the sword of soldiers, some sneaked out of the palace, and most of them chose to surrender.

In the main hall, the second prince Dan Youhe walked up the steps excitedly, and slowly sat on the dragon chair, before he had time to enjoy himself.

A soldier came to report, "Second Highness, Fifth Highness led someone to break in."

Dan Youhe patted the dragon chair and got up, leading people out.

Dan Muhan had already entered the palace, and was stopped by Dan Youhe at his residence.

"Dan Youhe, you beast."

Dan Muhan glared at him at this moment, and raised his sword to face him.

Dan Youhe smiled meaninglessly, "Fifth brother, why are you doing this, we are all compatriots with the same mother."

Dan Muhan shot an arrow, which was caught by Dan Youhe.

"Dan Youhe, the most disgusting thing about me is that we are brothers with you. You united with Bei Teng and Nan Yan, killed your father and queen, and hanged your mother. You are like a pig and a dog."

Dan Youhe gritted his teeth, anger burst out in his eyes.

"I forced my father to death, do you think I want to, that old fool of my father, and that trash of my elder brother, who is not expected to be an emperor.

There is also the queen mother who never liked me, and she dismissed everything I did.This time I succeeded, I thought she would be happy and proud, but she wanted to kill me. "

Dan Youhe became more and more excited as he spoke, and opened his skirt, revealing the wound on his chest that was still wrapped in gauze.

"Look, this is the queen mother who gave birth to me and raised me. I just did what my brothers wanted to do but didn't dare to do. She's going to kill me, she's going to kill me."

Dan Youhe yelled the last sentence vigorously, and forced himself to calm down again.

"My mother cried and told me that I shouldn't have killed my father. I told my mother that I didn't kill my father. My father died of anger and blood. My mother doesn't believe me, and you don't believe me either."

"What's the difference? If you don't rebel, will the father be angry..." Dan Muhan really didn't know when his second brother became like this.

He slowly put down the sword in his hand, "Brother, you said that big brother is not suitable to be an emperor, that's just your wishful thinking, just because you want the excuse the world makes for yourself, you are not suitable to be an emperor, you turn around. I'll take you away, let's go to the fiefdom, we..."

"Fart..." Dan Youhe roared, "I'm not suitable, look at the current situation, I won."

"What did you win..." Dan Muhan also roared, "You won your parents and brothers, but what about Bei Teng and Nan Yan, what did you promise them, how much did you promise them, do you think Teng Yuanjing and Yan Yuhao are What kind of people, if you are deceived by them, sooner or later they will unite and swallow Xidan, do you understand?"

Dan Youhe obviously panicked for a moment, but quickly steadied himself.

"Don't fool me. I have a sense of proportion. I won't let them succeed."

"You..." Dan Muhan raised his sword again, "Brother, I'm trying to persuade you one last time, will you follow me or not?"

"Fifth brother, why are you as obsessed as the queen mother? Why are you not happy for me when I sit in this position? Why do you think everything I do is wrong?"

Dan Youhe didn't want to fight with him, so he ordered someone to bring up some people, they were Dan Muhan's family members.

"Dan Youhe..." Dan Muhan was furious instantly.

Dan Muhan's five concubines and four sons and daughters were held to their necks with knives by the guards.

The two daughters are only five years old, and the two sons are only three years old.The child was afraid and did not dare to shed tears, and timidly called "Father."

Dan Muhan held his heart together, "Dan Youhe, you threaten me with my family."

Dan Youhe shrugged, "Fifth brother, I don't want to either, you brought people in first."

Dan Youhe gave the guard a look, and the guard raised his knife to chop off the neck of a concubine.

"Don't..." Dan Muhan shouted in fright.

I saw a feather arrow flying towards the guard's neck, and the guard fell to the ground immediately.

Dan Youhe smiled silently, "Chu Lingfeng, I know, such a big Xidan, if I want to pick out one who can beat you, there is no one, but, you say your arrows are faster, or I have more people .”

As he spoke, he picked up the sword in his hand and stabbed the concubine's heart. Before the concubine could close her eyes, she died.

"Mother..." A girl burst into tears.The remaining concubines and children trembled in fright.

Dan Youhe sighed, "Fifth brother, look, the scene where our brothers started fighting is so ugly. For the sake of our mother and compatriots, I won't kill you. As for you, just get acquainted and be good." Stay in your palace, and after I ascend the throne, I will send you to the fief."

Dan Youhyuk obviously didn't want to talk nonsense anymore.

Dan Muhan looked at his wife and children, and finally dropped his sword.

Dan Youhe ordered people to imprison Dan Muhan and all his family members in his palace.

The four children rushed to Tan Muhan and cried loudly. Tan Muhan comforted them, and the concubines stood aside, not daring to lift their heads, and bowed their legs and called softly, "Your Highness."

Dan Muhan came over, "I'm sorry, I was scared."

The concubine lowered her head and shook.

Dan Muhan asked the palace servants to take them to rest for a while.

Chu Lingfeng stood behind him all the time, "Your Highness, what shall we do next?"

Dan Muhan put his hands behind his back, looked at the sky full of stars, and closed his eyes gently, "Now I can only go to the fiefdom first, and then make plans."

"Yes."

Chu Lingfeng took a cloak and put it on him, "It's Lidong."

Dan Muhan raised his hand to tighten the cloak, but accidentally touched the back of Chu Lingfeng's hand. He was about to let go, but was grabbed by Chu Lingfeng.

"Your Highness, Ling Feng will protect you at all costs."

Dan Muhan pulled out his hand and said with a smile, "I know."

The two of them just stood by the door silently for the whole night.

In the morning, Dan Youhe ascended the throne and was busy all day, with no time to take care of other things.

The prime minister and several ministers were worried. They felt that the new emperor was too kind, and Dan Muhan must not stay.

In the evening, Dan Youhe held a banquet in the palace, and planned to send Dan Muhan to Jincheng tomorrow.

The prime minister and the others didn't have much time to discuss countermeasures, so they simply kept doing nothing, planning to burn it all down.

Setting fire is simple and easy to find a reason, and when the emperor pursues it, it can also be said to be an accident.

As soon as a few people made a decision, they sent people to the palace to set a fire. The winter was dry, and the fire quickly sprang up.

Dan Muhan and Chu Lingfeng ran out of the house and went straight to the inner hall of the concubine.

The fire was raging, the smoke was billowing, and nothing could be seen clearly. Many people in the house ran out crying and shouting.

Tan Muhan and Chu Lingfeng were shoulder to shoulder, and Tan Muhan coughed and said, "Your side, my side."

"Okay, be careful."

The two split up and started to save people.

Chu Lingfeng found two children in the chaos. The two girls were already unconscious. He picked them up and ran outside.

Immediately after running out, splash water on the child.The two children woke up slowly, coughing.

Chu Lingfeng picked up the two children and put them in a safe place, "Stay here obediently and don't move around. I'll go find your father."

The two girls nodded obediently with tears on their faces.

Chu Lingfeng rushed into the fire scene again, looking for the place Tan Muhan had gone just now.

Enduring the pain in his throat choked by the thick smoke, he shouted, "Your Highness, Your Highness."

Chu Lingfeng shouted while searching, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the smoke was getting thicker and thicker.Many pillars collapsed, and Chen Ling was in danger of being smashed.

"Ling Feng, Ling Feng, I'm here."

An extremely weak cry penetrated into Chu Lingfeng's ears. He pricked up his ears, and when he looked for the sound, he saw Tan Muhan lying on the ground with his legs pressed down by a pillar. Under his body, there were two guards. child.

"Your Highness..." Chu Lingfeng ran over in a hurry. He pushed the pillar hard, but he didn't.

He hurriedly carried Tan Muhan on his back, and Dan Muhan was dizzy, "Lingfeng, save the child."

"Okay, I know, don't worry..." Chu Lingfeng tore his own clothes and tied them together, and tied Dan Muhan to his back.

He hugged another child in one hand, arched his body, dodged the falling planks, and walked out of the fire by feeling.

Here is a sea of ​​fire, but there is a sea of ​​singing and dancing.

Dan Youhe was watching enthusiastically, when suddenly an eunuch came to report that the fifth prince's palace had leaked.

Dan Youhe narrowed his eyes and glanced at the Prime Minister, who immediately knelt down in fright, "Your Majesty, this old minister is considering the overall situation, and the Fifth Prince cannot stay."

"Hmph..." Dan Youhe slammed the cup on the ground, got up and rushed to Dan Muhan's palace.

In the palace, all the children were rescued, and nothing happened.Several concubines were buried in the sea of ​​fire.

As for Dan Muhan, in order to save the child, his knee was smashed by a wooden pillar, and Chu Lingfeng didn't dare to look at it.

Dan Muhan sat leaning against the wall and smiled, "It's okay, as long as you don't die."

"Your Highness..." Chu Lingfeng looked up at him with tears in his eyes.

With the sound of the door opening, Dan Youhe rushed in with people, and Chu Lingfeng immediately got up and stood in front of them.

Dan Youhe looked worried, "Fifth brother, you..."

Dan Muhan turned his head, "Second brother, you are disappointed that I am not dead."

Dan Youhe didn't explain either, but when he saw his legs, he sighed, "Fifth brother, go to Jincheng, and never set foot in Kyoto again."

After Dan Youhe finished speaking, he turned around and ordered everyone not to stop him.

Chu Lingfeng was afraid that he would go back on his word, so he carried Tan Muhan on his back and took the four children into the carriage.
