Zhou Yihan's expression was a little reserved, but this was not just the kind he had performed in the past, but he was really holding his breath subconsciously. Young girl, who was helped out, was clearly only seventeen or eighteen years old. His face and facial features were soft, but his pair of eyes were deep, and his temperament was as quiet as a deep valley, giving people an unpredictable coldness.
He is dressed plainly in white clothes, wearing stockings and blue shoes.
There was a jade pendant hanging from her waist, but it was not as complicated as that of an ordinary noble lady. There were no golden steps or golden strands, just a black wooden hairpin to tie her hair, which added to the simplicity. When her eyes swept over it, there was an indescribable weight that made Zhou Yihan, who had been used to being surrounded by jackals, tigers and leopards since childhood, nervous.
Then young girl looked through the letter Zhou Yihan brought, and saw that in the text written on it, Divine Ability briefly described a class called [Method of Manifesting Light Circles], and then told Knowing the importance of Seventh Prince, the handwriting of young Daoist is simple and concise. Seventh Prince must not die. Once he dies, the world will be in chaos, monsters will invade the borders, the military will be low in fighting, and there will be a great rout.
How to save Li Zhai is just eight simple words.
[Taking it in name]
[Forced by force]
He mentioned again that if the emperor releases Li Zhai, then he has a message for Li Zhai.
Li Qiongyu put the letter away, his face did not change at all, he just smiled and said, "Thank you for taking the trip, girl."
"No trouble, no trouble."
"It just happened to happen. I have to thank the Daoist priest for not being angry."
Zhou Yihan took the initiative to mention young Daoist he met.
Li Qiongyu raised his eyes slightly and said, "I don't know where I met him."
Zhou Yihan There was no trace of joy or anger on Li Qiongyu's face. The face was like a statue carved from fine white jade, and the eyes were like black gemstones. He looked at her calmly, so Zhou Yihan did not dare to make any modifications, so he had to tell the story of how he met young Daoist and how he was appointed by him.
Li Qiongyu sat there quietly, like a dignified Mountain God.
The white palms were shrouded in the wide sleeves of the white clothes, and only the index finger lightly tapped the table.
"That's it..."
Li Qiongyu's voice paused slightly, and then said:
"So, Miss Zhou is here to seek a way out for the Ru'nan Zhou Clan, right?"
Zhou Yihan paused slightly. She had not said these things before, or in other words, such things were hidden in her heart. It was impossible to say them unless it was a life-or-death situation. She had not mentioned it just now, but the woman in front of her said it in one word, and she couldn't help but pause for a moment.
Li Qiongyu said, "Miss Zhou doesn't have to make a choice. You can stay at the Prince Qin's Mansion first."
"In a short period of time, nothing will happen to you, and nothing will happen to the Zhou family."
But at this time, the woman in green came here in a hurry again and looked at Li Qiongyu, her face faintly losing its previous calmness. When Zhou Yihan saw her face turned slightly pale and the light in her eyes shook violently, her reaction was even stronger than when he told her it was young Daoist.
One is happy.
But now, it's pure shock.
Zhou Yihan quickly narrowed his eyes, with a face full of harmless ignorance, like a person who fell into a strange environment and was helpless and ignorant about everything, making people less defensive. Li Qiongyu glanced at her and called the girl in green to come forward. The maid in green whispered a few words in Li Qiongyu's ear, her palms trembling slightly, Li Qiongyu's eyes were calm.
"Miss Zhou, are you deciding whether to marry Seventh Prince?"
"You might as well go and sit behind the screen."
Zhou Yihan was stunned.
Seeing Li Qiongyu's eyes were dull, but ripples appeared. "Seventh Prince, right outside the door."
Zhou Yihan:"!!!!"
Seventh Prince Li Zhai was wearing a hood, covering his face as thin as a sick tiger. In the dusk, he was carried by the Prince Qin's Mansion's attendants. A red lantern was brought into the Prince Qin's Mansion. After he was released, he staggered up and came out. He saw that the originally sealed mansion was empty, with only some items placed in conspicuous places.
But after Li Zhai left here, he did not leave as quickly as the emperor expected.
Instead, he went straight to the Prince Qin's Mansion.
Under the setting sun, the red lantern revealed a blood-like color. Li Zhai walked to the lobby. When the door opened, he saw young girl sitting at the top, with white clothes as old as before and eyes as bright as stars. The two sides looked at each other, and there was a trace of ripples in Li Qiongyu's eyes, saying, "Seventh Brother."
"Qiong Yu, thank you for recognizing me."
"When I look at myself in the mirror, I'm scared to death. Hahaha, what the hell does this look like?"
Li Zhai laughed and took off the hood used by military strategists. The originally energetic face had already become emaciated due to the illness in his heart, revealing traces of his cheekbones, but his eyes were particularly cold and lively. He sat on a stool on one side and swept a cup of tea on the table. Without saying anything else, he said concisely:
"The emperor released me."
"He said he had difficulties and had to do things when he was in his position."
"I believe half of what he said, because the best lies are always half-truths and half-falsehoods."
"I was stunned. I didn't even know which ones were real and which ones were fake. It's a pity that my father is serious and not an actor!"
Li Zhai laughed several times, then sighed, "But, some things are true..."
Li Qiongyu did not say anything. She knew that Li Zhai came here just to explain some things. Li Zhai held the tea and was silent for a long time. He said, "I don't know what happened back then and what the internal affairs were like, but I know that you came to avenge your father and clear your father's wrongs. And Five Clans and Seven Sects's ambition and fourth brother's skills are all true."
"It is also true that the emperor's reputation has been reduced."
"In other words, there is a possibility of troubled times."
"Hey, the envoys from the surrounding small countries saw with their own eyes that I was captured and thrown into prison. They have always been short-sighted and there may be hidden dangers at the border. No matter how wrong the emperor's words are, one sentence is true. Once the country is in chaos, the border will be lost. When the two are intertwined, there will be chaos and the people will suffer."
"I can't leave this alone."
"Is it okay? It's not possible."
"Even if I guess in my heart that he came to me as a tactic to spread suspicion, he might just want the situation to be simpler and more under his control, so he asked me to leave Capital City. I have to obey his arrangements and cannot avoid it. This is an outright conspiracy. Even if I know his purpose, there is no way."
Li Zhai took a big gulp of the tea and said:
"Brother Qi Qi is not a smart person, but I know that military strategists do not compete for kings and become emperors."
"But to protect the country and the people."
"Being an emperor? I have no such interest. If I were to sit on that chair, it would be more interesting for me to sit on a mound in the grassland and watch the border people pick up the dried cow dung and pile it back to light the fire."
"Besides, I don't have the brains for it."
The leader of the military strategist closed his eyes and seemed to have seen the scenery at the border. He murmured, "I will be stationed at the border. As long as I am alive, I will not let Demon Race and other countries invade the border. But... don't cause chaos. Don't let countless of my people and soldiers lose their fathers just because you lost their father. Qiong Yu, this is my only request."
Li Zhai opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and leaned forward. His eyes looked at young girl above him calmly, but there was also an indescribable energy.
Once Li Qiongyu makes other choices.
He would kill her directly within seven steps.
At this moment, Leader of the School of Military, apart from the grand military situation, seems to have begun to understand other schools.
He is no longer just a young and passionate man, but a kingly man who overpowers others Weapon Method.
Forcibly stabilizing the situation and keeping the country from chaos belongs to Fourth Prince, and he will guard the border for life.
Li Qiongyu looked at him and said quietly, "I swear."
"Will contain A Feng."
Li Zhai looked at her steadily, Leader of the School of Military's [Mirror Heart Technique] reflected Li Qiongyu's heart.
So he scratched his head, as if he was honest and simple when he was still in Zhongzhou before anything happened, laughed a few times, and said, "A Feng I listen to you the most, I believe you, then, Seventh Brother I will leave, and you can go and claim the throne. In this life, I am afraid that I will not be able to add the title of [King] to my name after my death."
"It's good to be just a general until the day you die."
Li Zhai waved his hand and stood up.
Li Qiongyu said, "Seventh Brother."
Li Zhai smiled and said, "Huh? What's wrong, sister."
Li Qiongyu said, "A Daoist priest I know well asked me to say a word to you."
"Huh?"
"Actions speak louder than words, Partial listening leads to darkness."
Li Zhai's eyes changed slightly.
Li Qiongyu said, "Seventh Brother If you want to know what happened back then, you might as well take Jinzhou when you go to the border."
Li Zhai recalled what the emperor said in his mind, his eyes narrowed slightly, he nodded, and said concisely, "I will." He put on his hood again and walked out slowly, Li Qiongyu said in a soothing tone, "Miss Zhou, come out."
Zhou Yihan walked out from behind the screen, his face slightly pale.
Li Qiongyu said, "The emperor let him go, so he won't do anything to your Zhou family."
"But, what are you going to choose?"
Zhou Yihan gritted her teeth. Between becoming Fourth Prince's concubine and accompanying a man recognized as a hero to the border and never coming back, it seemed that it was not difficult to choose, but it also seemed extremely difficult to choose. Finally, she said, "I am willing to accompany Seventh Prince..."
Li Qiongyu raised his eyes and said calmly, "It's a good decision."
"Then, Miss Zhou, you might as well hand over the Zhou family's seal to me."
She smiled slightly.
When he smiled, he was not as cold as usual and said:
"No matter who wins in the end, the Zhou family will be safe and sound."
If Fourth Prince wins, Zhou Yihan is the wife of Seventh Prince. Due to the importance of brotherly love, her Zhou family will not be completely liquidated; if Prince Qin wins, then the Zhou family will be the great contributors to assist Prince Qin in the fight, the Zhou family will be safe, and she herself will be in a safe position no matter what.
Zhou Yihan looked at the cold and elegant beauty in front of him and said word by word:
"Prince Qin can also have the most valuable first boost when his power is at its weakest, right?"
Li Qiongyu asked, "So, where is your decision?"
Zhou Yihan took out a seal and put it gently on the table, then exhaled, turned around and left Prince Qin's Mansion, then she rode a fast horse and chased Seventh Prince. After going, Li Qiongyu held the seal of the Zhou family in his hand, looked at the setting sun outside, with thin shoulders and gentle eyes, took out the letter and gently brushed the words left by young Daoist with his palm.
The Zhou family's young girl, who was gentle on the outside but decisive on the inside, was caught by Leader of the School of Military, who was proficient in anti-tracking.
His face turned pale and he said, "Stop, stop, stop!"
"No, don't kill me."
Li Zhai was as cold as a sick tiger. "If I hadn't detected your Qi just now at Qiong Yu, you would have died by my sword. Who are you?"
"I, I am your fiancée!"
Li Zhai looked stagnant. "Ha?!!"
"I, I'm from the Zhou family, I'm here to accompany you to the border."
"What?!!"
Li Zhai looked at the weak young girl up and down, sneered, and put away the weapon, guessing that Qiong Yu was worried about himself.
So he said lazily, "If you are not afraid of death, just follow."
Historians are always fond of the legend that Brave and Mighty King rose from desperation. In an era when the throne was shaken, this hero, who was the most amazing and talented among military strategists of all generations, chose to retreat bravely, gave up the opportunity to sit on the highest position, and rushed to the border. However, the storytellers among the Three Teachings and Nine Streams are fond of the story of King Wei Wu and his princess.
King Wei Wu, who was once wanton and romantic, fell in love with the descendants of the Zhou family who were overthrown by his ancestors eight thousand years ago.
The legendary deeds were compiled into countless stories and circulated in teahouses and restaurants in later generations.
These stories are always denounced by historians as romantic and wild history.
But even the most severe historian must admit this.
For the King Wei Wu who fought on the battlefield, it was as if he had never taken a step back in those years. The young girl who appeared when he was in the most embarrassing situation and at the lowest point in his life was an extremely important existence. At that time, his martial arts had been abolished, his mind was extremely hurt, and he was full of hostility like a sick tiger. King Wei Wu returned to the right path.
No matter what its original purpose was, at the end of the story, it was like a wisp of wind passing by on the battlefield, the colorful ribbon tied on the King Wei Wu jersey, and it was the most important thing that could not be ignored.
Brave and Mighty King, the wife has no bloodline and it is difficult to have children.
The king will never marry again.
--<World Famous General·Human Race·Brave and Mighty King>
On the second day, Human Emperor held a large-scale court meeting. This was the first large-scale court meeting after the prince was deposed.
After the crown prince was deposed, the entire world was undergoing subtle changes. Even the ministers in the court, Five Clans and Seven Sects's Aristocratic Clan, were subconsciously choosing new supporters. In the end, they mainly gathered into two factions, one was Fourth Prince Li Hui, and the other was Prince Qin Li Weifeng.
One person recognizes the name and power of Fourth Prince, and the other person recognizes the general trend and name of Prince Qin, as well as the unbearable guilt in his heart for what happened back then.
Even today, there is a vague feeling of Jing Wei Fen Ming among civil and military officials.
"Go to court, and all the officials will come to see you!"
Accompanied by a very high voice, Baiguan and Prince Qin, Fourth Prince entered.
The Human Emperor sat on the high seat with a pale face. The emperor nodded slightly and signaled to the eunuch leader on one side to read out the imperial edict. Then after silence, a voice slowly said, "The prince has no virtue and is against the family and country. He is relegated to his position. Now Fourth Prince Hui is young and talented, with literary talent and military virtue. Now, he is established as the prince!"
So Fourth Prince Li Hui's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and many civil and military officials were beaming with joy.
In the first imperial edict.
The Prime Minister narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent.
Let Seventh Prince leave, stabilize Human Heart and the military border, suppress the prince, support Fourth Prince as the prince, suppress Prince Qin, liquidate and support Prince Qin's Aristocratic Clan, in the end, the prince is still the one guarding the country at the border, and Fourth Prince is the prince. There is no reason to rebel against the current emperor. To win over divisions, understate the situation, cultivate heirs, and stabilize the country are the emperor's methods.
But at this time, the great eunuch took out the second imperial edict!
Said: "Today, Prince Qin Li Weifeng is announced, and Subordinate Second Rank Prince is promoted to Principal First Rank Prince."
"Give me swords and shoes to go to the palace."
"You can enter the court without worshiping!"
The civil and military officials behind Li Weifeng and the Aristocratic Clan family were also delighted, but the old prime minister suddenly opened his eyes. He couldn't believe it, and his scalp was numb. He felt the tit-for-tat confrontation between the prince and Prince Qin, and the civil and military officials were divided. He felt cold in his heart. This, this is not just an emperor's method of dividing, suppressing, and wooing. This is for...
The old prime minister raised his head, and all the civil and military officials behind Prince Qin and the prince were excited in their hearts.
It's not that they can't see the danger, but their current attention is attracted by the extremely bright future.
People die for money, and birds die for food.
The emperor sat high on the cold throne, holding the throne with both hands, his eyes lowered, and the twelve pearls spread out, covering his eyes and face, making it impossible to see clearly, as if he was overlooking everything, and everything was under control.
