The pride of heaven

The two packed up their mood, found another exit in the stone room, and walked out along it.

Li Junran looked around: "This is where we came in, and we went around and returned to the original point."

Qi Mingjue: "It's no accident that the two seniors were able to hide from the world for the rest of their lives."

Li Junran stared at the dense forest and said with some fear: "This forest is a huge yin-yang gossip formation, I was negligent, if it wasn't for Jue'er's slippage, we might die here."

Qi Mingjue stretched out his hand and gently stroked Li Junran's back: "Junran is wrong, willing, willing, willing, and willing to gain. If Junran didn't sacrifice his life to save me, how could we have the chance to get this pair of jade pendants."

"Jue'er, don't worry, the blood jade has spirituality, and will definitely keep our relationship. My heart for Jue'er can be learned from time to time. I love you so much, and I will never change my mind."

"Ah."

Why, how can this person say such lingering love words at any time without blushing? With a light hum, it was accepted.

"Your Highness, Your Highness is here again." Lang Yue shouted excitedly, pointing in the direction of the two of them.

Qin Feng followed the people all the way to this place, wandered around outside the forest twice, deeply felt that the dense forest was weird, and dared not go deep into it rashly, so he had to search around the periphery and find a way, thinking that he would find no one again, so he decided to A team of people was sent out to search deep into the forest, while the other team responded from the outside. They never thought that the sky would be pitiful, the clouds would break through the moon, and they would guard their two masters at the last moment.

Pingliang City

"Zhang Chao, do you have something to say?" Li Junran looked down at Zhang Chao who was kneeling in the hall, and said indifferently.

"This subordinate pleads guilty. If you want to kill or cut him up, it's all up to His Highness to dispose of you. There is absolutely no complaint from this subordinate."

"General Zhang, why bother to do this?" Cao Yuantu showed a look of regret. In the past few days, he had heard some rumors. In addition to the previous speculation, he also sorted out a lot of things, but he couldn't figure it out. Zhang Chao has been in the military for many years, so he has a little understanding of his personality. Zhang Chao is a man with a red blood and a heart, so why does he know a lot about foreign countries?

"General Zhang loves his daughter dearly. There is nothing wrong with it. It is a pity that the general is betting the lives of the people in the world for his own selfishness. What is wrong with them?"

Hearing what Qi Mingjue said, Zhang Chao knew that the crown prince had already found out the cause and effect, so he didn't need to cover up too much: "Your Highness is sympathetic to the common people in the world. It's because His Highness is benevolent. There is nothing wrong with the common people. Could there be something wrong with my girl?"

"Chao is not a good father. When Chao went to war with the army, he was not at home for many years. Yaya suffered a lot with his mother. In the battle with Jinliao, the battle was tragic. When I got home, things were changed, and after many inquiries, I found out that there was a disaster in my hometown that year, and it was really hard to survive. My wife took her fourteen-year-old girl to the capital to join relatives, but there were no relatives. It was found that Yaya's mother couldn't bear the pain of homelessness, she couldn't afford to be ill, and passed away. Yaya had no choice but to sell herself to bury her mother. It happened that she was bought by the wife of the Taishi who was passing by and became the maid of the historian. I liked it, and took the house."

Qi Mingjue: "General Zhang felt ashamed of the young girl, and tried his best to make amends, but General Zhang thought that after framing His Royal Highness, General Zhang and Miss Zhang still had a chance to survive? The second generation ancestor Shi Cuihai would marry his father for a concubine. Arguing with reason?"

"I..." Zhang Chao bowed his head and had nothing to say. He knew that what Qi Mingjue said was right. What he did was in vain. Historians would not change his daughter's opinion of his daughter because of what he did, but seeing it with his own eyes When his daughter was bullied by her husband's family and her life was not good, he felt guilty and distressed. As a father, he failed to do anything for his daughter. When his daughter knelt down and begged him, his heart softened. No regrets, for the sake of his daughter, even if he betrayed the world, he would not hesitate, Zhang Chao drew his sword, slashed his neck and killed himself, fell in front of Chen Yuyi, and died on the spot.

Seeing this, Imperial Physician Chen was overly frightened and passed out.Langyue ordered someone to bring cold water and poured it directly.

Dr. Chen was drenched in cold water and woke up. Before he could ask questions, he faltered and confessed everything.

Not only did he explain the murder of the prince by the driver of the army, but he also explained the deaths of Empress Wende and the first concubine. He was not the one who directly administered the medicine, but he was also responsible for delaying the treatment.

He is a real mercenary villain. He has long been in collusion with Concubine Shi Gui. He has medical skills, but he is greedy for glory and wealth. tool.

Li Junran ordered that Chen Yuyi be punished for the crime of treason, and sentenced to death, as an example to others.As for Zhang Chao, thinking of his military achievements in the past, declaring to the outside world that he died on the battlefield, and keeping his evening festival is the best arrangement for him. All the generals who followed Zhang Chao were grateful to His Royal Highness and swore allegiance to the death , So far, Li Junran recovered the [-] sergeants in Zhang Chao's hands without a single soldier.

Several families were happy and some were sad, Pingliang fell, Wuheng lost the southern barrier, many people couldn’t sit still, Yuwen’s family couldn’t sit still, and the northern clan Lu’s family whose strength was comparable to riding a tiger couldn’t sit still, Wuheng The Hao family of the Heng royal family was even more restless. In a few days, envoys from the three parties came one after another, and the forces of all parties gathered in Pingliang to compete secretly.

"Your Highness is going to see Yu Wentai today?"

Qi Mingjuan knew that although Li Junran was calm on the surface these days, he had been in frequent contact with various parties in private. Li Junran did not hide these things from Qi Mingjue in the first place, but after the lessons learned by Qi Mingjuan, now Li Junran is very careful in his actions. , will never come to Qi Mingjue's dangerous place again, and has always gone to meetings alone.

"Yuwentai's scheming in the city will never be under the control of Patriarch Yuwen. I want to see the medicine he sells in his gourd." Li Junran asked Qi Mingjue to help him put on his belt, enjoying Qi Mingjue's service, and felt much better , "According to the news from the spies in Wuheng, this time it is Yuwenhu who was instigated by Yuwentai's people."

"Kill two birds with one stone. If we're lucky, we kill Yu Wenhu, and he'll be done once and for all." Qi Mingjue put on his belt and helped Li Junran straighten his clothes.

"not only that."

Qi Mingjue paused, blinked his phoenix eyes, and looked puzzled.

"In the battle of Pingliang, it was not only our army's response to the Ma Red Army that was able to break through it, and the soldiers were brave," Qi Mingjue's confused eyes caught Li Junran's heart like a cat scratching his heart, and he wrapped his arms around his beloved concubine, so intimate , said in a hoarse voice, "The main reason is that Yuwen resorted to the trick of changing positions and secretly replaced most of the troops. After all, what we are dealing with is nothing more than the superficial Red Army with less than half of the ordinary cavalry mixed in. "

Qi Mingjue leaned on Li Junran, with a muffled voice: "It seems that the relationship between all parties within Wuheng is no different from that of an egg, and it is already in jeopardy."

"Wuheng was originally a nomadic people, and the tribes were independent. Today, the royal family is weak. The royal family, the Yuwen family, and the Lu family have formed a three-legged confrontation." Li Junran let go of Qi Mingjue slightly, and raised his chin with his right hand. With sharp eyes and a firm tone, "When the time is ripe, a single spark can turn into a prairie fire."

Dragons have reverse scales, snakes have seven inches, Qi Mingjue is Li Junran's reverse scales seven inches, the one who moved Qi Mingjue was Yu Wenhu, and the one who plotted against Yu Wenhu was Yu Wentai, and it was the whole Wuheng who pushed the Yuwen family to fight and helped the Yuwen brothers fight against the wall All the clan leaders, all seemingly irrelevant but inextricably linked, all have to pay the price for their actions.

Li Junran circled among the various tribes and signed various agreements to allow the various tribes of Wuheng to check and balance each other. At the same time, they also planted the seeds of suspicion. The little spark that started the eternal destruction.
