The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

After holding Xiao Chunyue and crying a lot that day, Xiao Yanzhi's spirit has not been very good.The bone that didn't grow well in the calf was completely staggered this time, and the bleeding that day was also because the bone that was crooked due to strenuous activity pierced out of the flesh.

Xu Lishan ascended the throne as the emperor, although the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, but the emperor's last decree gave him the right to dispatch the three armies, so Xu Lishan ordered to step up the pursuit of the whereabouts of Xu Liqian and the rest of the Yun family, and the Jiang family also worked hard to help Xu Lishan Take care of everything.Xu Lishan accepted the Jiang family's love with a smile, but compared with before, he felt a little more defensive in his heart.

Concubine Yun Shu was still hanging above the Suzaku Gate, Xiao Yanzhi only allowed someone to give her some water to drink, and ignored the rest. After a few days, Concubine Yun Shu was already in a state of disarray, and she was only holding her last breath.

Xu Liqian mixed in the crowd, looking redly at Concubine Yun Shu, who was worse than dead.

I don't know if it's because mother and child are connected, but Concubine Yun Shu, who was hanging on the tower, suddenly raised her head and looked around slowly, and she also saw Xu Liqian hiding in the far corner.

Concubine Yun Shu stared at Xu Liqian, and suddenly burst into tears, but raised the corners of her mouth, showing a loving smile.

Concubine Yun Shu smiled, Xu Liqian gritted his teeth, and raised the bow and arrow in his hand.

However, before Xu Liqian could release an arrow, someone suddenly shot an arrow at Xu Liqian on the city wall, and the arrow pierced through the air, pointing directly at Xu Liqian's face.

Xu Liqian was startled, knowing that someone had discovered him, so he put away his bow and arrow, turned around and ran away.

"His Royal Highness, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

Chu Liang led 20 people and appeared behind Xu Liqian like ghosts.

In the past few days, ordinary people who had good things every day ran to the side street in front of Suzaku Gate to watch the embarrassed Concubine Yun Shu. The people on the tower can see the person who came to rob Concubine Yun Shu immediately. If the person who came is not Xu Liqian, the guards on the tower will shoot him directly. If the person who comes is suspected of Xu Liqian, then the people above will give them a code , they can follow the general direction to arrest people.

The people on the tower suddenly issued a signal just now, they looked away and walked around in the direction indicated by the signal, and then saw the person hiding in the corner with a bow and arrow.

Chu Liang was not in a hurry to arrest people, but first signaled a semaphore to the people on the tower, asking them to shoot an arrow in the direction of this person.But when this person saw that he was exposed, he turned around and ran away. Judging from his actions, it was probably Xu Liqian himself.After all, as subordinates, once they get orders from their superiors or masters, they will desperately complete the task. Even if they don't risk their lives, they will not run away immediately when they encounter danger.

In their line of work, is anyone still afraid of danger?Only people like Xu Liqian who think their lives are precious will be terrified.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Liqian immediately blew a loud whistle, then turned around and ran eastward.

"Tsk! He still has someone in his hand?!" Chu Liang was speechless, "You guys are here to stop those who are in the way, and the three of you will follow me!"

Here Chu Liang chased after Xu Liqian, and the news over there also reached Prince Wucheng's mansion in the shortest time.

Xu Ren found Xiao Yanzhi immediately after hearing the news.

"Reporting to the prince, Xu Liqian has appeared."

Xiao Yanzhi, who was lazily sitting in a wheelchair in the yard basking in the sun, his eyes lit up, and he asked Xu Ren, "Did you get caught?"

"Not yet," Xu Ren said with his head down, "This subordinate will bring someone to help."

Xiao Yanzhi didn't answer immediately, and after a moment of silence, he asked again: "Where is Xu Liqian now?"

Xu Ren replied: "The person who came to report said that he ran to the east of the city. It is said that he still has soldiers in his hand."

Xiao Yanzhi looked up at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, and said: "There are private troops in both Wucheng Palace and Qi Palace. Since Xu Liqian wanted to seek power and usurp the throne a long time ago, he must raise some private troops. That's the last one." life-saving means."

East of the city... Isn't Prince Wucheng's mansion just to the east of the city?

Xiao Yanzhi said again: "Xu Ren, arrange all the people in the mansion to hide in one place, and you also hide well."

Xu Ren frowned, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that Xu Liqian is coming to Prince Wucheng's residence?"

"Who knows," Xiao Yanzhi said disapprovingly, "but the only place in the east of the city that is worthy of his concern is Wucheng Prince's Mansion. Anyway, make arrangements so that no one can see the flaws at a glance. There are only people around me. Just keep He Yan and Zhang Shaosheng."

During this period of time, he stayed with He Yan and Zhang Shaosheng to protect Xiao Chunyue in Prince Wucheng's residence, while Xiao Ren'an and the others were taken away from Chang'an by Yan Sheng long before the situation became so dangerous.

"My lord, this is too risky! We are still not sure how many people Xu Liqian has in his hands." Xu Ren stared at Xiao Yanzhi.

damn it!Why haven't their lords come back yet?He really can't handle the King of Shu by himself!

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Xu Ren, and said in a deep voice, "Do as I say."

Frightened by Xiao Yanzhi's firm eyes, Xu Ren immediately turned around and ran to make arrangements.

If Xu Liqian really wanted to come to Prince Wucheng's mansion, he should be there soon, and he didn't have much time to make arrangements.

Hurrying quickly, Xu Ren finally hid at the moment before thirty or so people jumped over the wall and broke into Prince Wucheng's mansion.

Hearing the sound of someone breaking in, Xiao Yanzhi immediately looked over in feigned surprise, and saw more than thirty people suddenly fell into the courtyard of Prince Wucheng's mansion, surrounded him, Zhang Shaosheng, and He Yan, and raised their bows and arrows one after another , aimed at the three of them, and then Xu Liqian came out from behind the crowd.

"Brother Huang, long time no see." Taking off the hood of his cloak, Xu Liqian looked haggard.

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Yanzhi had a cold face, looking very calm, but his eyes kept sweeping over the thirty or so people.

"What am I here for?" Xu Liqian gritted his teeth and said, "It's rare that the emperor arranged for the rest of the Wucheng Palace to go to the Suzaku Gate to guard my mother and concubine. If I don't come to pay a visit to the emperor, isn't it too much?" excuse me?"

It turned out that Xu Liqian thought he had sent out all the people in Prince Wucheng's mansion.Although there are not many martial arts practitioners available in Prince Wucheng's mansion, they are not too few.Besides, the ambush above the city wall only needed a few people, and he didn't replace all the guards at the Suzaku Gate with people from Wucheng Palace.

Xiao Yanzhi snorted coldly, and said, "Now that things are going on, do we still need to pay attention to etiquette?"

"It's really unnecessary now," Xu Liqian said with a smile, "but do you know, Brother Huang? I really wanted to be good brothers with Brother Huang, but why? Obviously we are all younger brothers of Brother Huang, But brother Huang only favors Xu Lishan.

Brother Huang will only speak well of Xu Lishan and Concubine Jiang in front of his father, Brother Huang will only fight for credit for Xu Lishan, and the positions that Brother Huang seeks for Xu Lishan are all important positions in the court, but when it is my turn, they are all irrelevant position.

Brother Huang, how am I different from Xu Lishan?If Brother Huang is willing to help me, then I should be sitting in that seat now, not that pretentious but cowardly and incompetent Xu Lishan! "

After hearing these words, Xiao Yanzhi was slightly stunned, he never thought that Xu Liqian would have such an idea.

But at this time, if I think about it carefully at this time, I think this is the case. If Xu Liqian wanted the throne from the beginning like Xu Lishan, then his partiality to Xu Lishan would indeed cause Xu Liqian's strong dissatisfaction. After all, it was his. It was the partial gang that allowed Xu Lishan, who was originally evenly matched with Xu Liqian, to gain an overwhelming advantage.

"So?" But no matter what, what Xu Liqian did was unforgivable, "So you killed your father and brother?"

Xu Liqian was slightly taken aback by the words "killing father and brother", and then he straightened his neck and said, "So what? Since none of you are willing to give me this chance, then I can only grab it myself. Since you Block my way, then I can only get rid of you, what's wrong?!"

He didn't want to poison his father, but in the end, what his father did was either planning for Xiao Yanzhi or for Xu Lishan. Why did his father think that he still has an adult son who needs him to pave the way for the future?

But thanks to someone telling him about his father's heart disease, he could easily get rid of his father, otherwise they would have no chance if his father was not dead.Regardless of whether that person wanted to use his knife to kill his father or simply wanted to help him, he was grateful to that person!

"Nothing wrong," Xiao Yanzhi smiled, "Then what do you want to do now? Father is gone, who do you want to arrest me to threaten? Xu Lishan? I think he will be very happy to see you kill me scene."

"No," Xu Liqian shook his head, and said, "It's just that the emperor's brother is too intrusive. As long as the emperor is around, things will always develop in an uncontrollable direction. What counts?"

There was a message from the northwest that Pei Ze was under control, and he killed Xiao Yanzhi again, to see how Xu Lishan resisted him!

Xiao Yanzhi looked at the 30 people brought by Xu Liqian again, and said with a smile: "You want to kill people in Prince Wucheng's mansion, but you only bring [-] people, you are also very courageous. Xu Ren!"

After Xiao Yanzhi shouted, Xu Ren led a group of private troops from Wucheng Palace to appear on the roof and walls of Wucheng Palace, occupying various high grounds, holding bows and arrows, and looked at Xu Liqian proudly.

Xu Liqian raised his head and looked around, then smiled, and said, "Brother Huang, do you think I'm Xu Lishan?"

As he said that, Xu Liqian whistled again, Xiao Yanzhi couldn't see anyone, but could hear a noise.

Hearing the sound, Xu Ren looked out of Prince Wucheng's mansion, and then looked at Xiao Yanzhi with a serious look on his face, "My lord, the mansion is besieged, and their people are more than ours."

But a large number of people does not necessarily mean that you can win a battle. Who are you trying to scare by just putting on a posture?

Xiao Yanzhi looked up at Xu Ren, and seeing the smirk on Xu Ren's expression, he knew that he was sure of winning, but just as he was about to speak to Xu Liqian again, he was snatched away.

"When did Prince Wucheng's mansion become a place for you to have fun?"

The low voice hit the ground like a thunderbolt, which made the people brought by Xu Liqian shake, but made Xu Ren and the others cheer up.

Pei Ze jumped onto the roof from nowhere, and landed lightly in front of Xiao Yanzhi, stared at Xu Liqian coldly, then turned his head to look at Xiao Yanzhi who was in the wheelchair, and said, "Don't you want you to be quiet? ? Why did you bring trouble to the family?"

At the same time as Pei Ze's voice sounded, there was Chu Liang's shout outside.

"Damn, arrest them all, and kill them if they dare to resist!"

I thought Xu Liqian was just running around in the east of the city, why did he even come into Prince Wucheng's mansion?The most terrible thing is that King Wu Cheng came back at this time, he was going to die.

Following Chu Liang's order, the leopard riders brought by Chu Liang, the 50 people who came back with Pei Ze, and the Habayashi guards who were brought out by Jiang Shan after receiving the notice came from the streets and alleys around the Wucheng Palace. They rushed out, and it didn't matter who was resisting and who wasn't resisting, they would beat anyone they saw, and they would slash if they dared to fight back.

And Xiao Yanzhi in the yard just looked up at Pei Ze, and as he watched, his nose turned sour, and tears welled up again. Xiao Yanzhi was startled by the cold touch, and quickly lowered his head.

Pei Ze was startled, then turned his head and glared at Xu Liqian angrily: "Xu Liqian, you are really good!"

Before he finished speaking, Pei Ze drew his knife and slashed towards Xu Liqian.

Xu Liqian turned pale with fright, stepped back a few steps, and even pulled a person in front of him. Originally, he just wanted to block Pei Ze's attack on him, but he didn't expect that Pei Ze's knife would be slashed down without hesitation. The man who pulled it to make a shield immediately fell to the ground, and blood spattered Xu Liqian's face.

Pei Ze turned his wrist, and then swept out with a knife. The abdomen of the person standing on Xu Liqian's left was cut open, and blood gushed out mixed with other things, splashing Xu Liqian all over.

Pei Ze turned around and slashed out again, and the person standing on Xu Liqian's right hand fell down immediately, and blood splashed on Xu Liqian again, making Xu Liqian look more terrifying than the dead people who fell on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Xu Ren and others cheered and jumped off the roof wall, waving their swords excitedly, leaving no one alive.

Xu Liqian froze in place, not even daring to move, the feeling of sticking to you and the smell of blood made Xu Liqian tremble all over in fright.

"Why, why are you here?"

Pei Ze sneered and said, "Do you think you will see Zhang Maocheng? That will disappoint you. But Zhang Maocheng is waiting for you, and you will see him soon."

With a plop, Xu Liqian fell to the ground in fright, but his face turned pale from the blood all over the ground.

Pei Ze flicked the knife, looked at Xu Liqian contemptuously, and said in a cold voice, "I thought you had the guts to clamor for the throne just because of you?

You know how to intimidate and lure people, you are also good at finding opportunities for surprise attacks, and your layout is also commendable, but why do you think you will win?The Yun family who can't become a martial artist without a degree?With [-] soldiers in the northwest who regard the safety of the border as more important than their own lives?Based on Yunzhou Zhongwu General's guilt towards the Yun family?Or is it based on the innocent people behind you who were deceived into thinking that they could become the Habayashi Army but wanted to bear the name of treason for you? ! "

After solving the matter of the Northwest Army, Pei Ze took some time to investigate the arrangements made by Xu Liqian and the Yun family over the years. Although the layout is not exquisite, if a surprise attack is launched without anyone knowing, then There is also a great chance of winning, but the only weakness is that there is no sincerity.

The Yun family has no generals, so if they want an army, they can only try to win others over, but Xu Liqian and the Yun family never show their sincerity. They use their love and family to force Zhang Maocheng into the water. Concerned about the safety of the Tang State, they threatened General Zhongwu by relying on General Zhongwu's negligence that caused the death of a son of the Yun family in vain. It must have been unexpected that General Zhongwu was ready to commit suicide and apologize, and the Yun family helped Xu Liqian recruit this team In the private army, they still deceived some people who did not know the details in the name of training alternate soldiers for the Habayashi Army. They listened to Xu Liqian's rhetoric and protected Xu Liqian's life. What will happen to them in the end?

Xu Liqian thinks that he is powerful, but none of these can be used by him. Xu Liqian thinks that they are very scheming, but such a fragile relationship is the easiest to break.

Obviously they are all people who can live a peaceful life, but because of Xu Liqian, they will not end well. Every time they kill those who can not be killed with a knife, Pei Ze's hatred for Xu Liqian will be even more, not because he hates him To fight for power and position, it's not that he hates him for staining his hands with more blood, but Pei Ze just hates how many innocent people he made die because of a choice against their will. value!

Being able to bear the secret arrangements for so many years, it can be seen that Xu Liqian's city is deeper than Xu Lishan's, but it's a pity that his intentions are not right. The only thing he lost to Xu Lishan was that he had never led an army to fight. When Pei Ze and Xu Lishan were galloping on the battlefield, At that time, Xu Liqian was sleeping peacefully beside Concubine Yun Shu.There is a difference between watching a war and fighting a war.

After all, the private army brought by Xu Liqian was no match for the regular army. Neither Chu Liang nor Xu Ren showed mercy, and there were only corpses left in the places they passed, and no one was left alive. They didn't want to have any more troubles.

Therefore, soon Xu Liqian was left alone.

Xu Ren wiped his nose, and said dissatisfiedly: "If they hadn't been hiding, I would have sent them on their way long ago!"

Pei Ze also put away his knife: "Xu Ren, tie up Xu Liqian and hand it over to Jiang Shan. If Concubine Yun Shu on the tower is still alive, hand it over to Jiang Shan too."

These two people can't be killed casually, they have to be convicted and announced to the world, and then they will be executed publicly.

Pei Ze walked back to Xiao Yanzhi's side, bent down and took Xiao Yanzhi's hand to hold it, and then asked He Yan and Zhang Shaosheng, "Where are the other people in the house?"

Zhang Shaosheng immediately replied: "Returning to King Wu Cheng, knowing that Xu Liqian is coming, the prince told them to hide."

"That's right." Pei Ze thought for a while, then bent down and hugged Xiao Yanzhi, and said, "Let everyone go to the Shu Palace and come back after it's cleaned up."

"Yes." He Yan and Zhang Shaosheng agreed in unison, and then went to find other people together with Xu Ren.

Pei Ze held Xiao Yanzhi in his arms, and strode away from this bloody place.

After entering the gate of the Shu Palace, Xiao Yanzhi looked around curiously, and then smiled lightly: "This is the second time I have entered the Shu Palace, right? Obviously this is where I should stay."

"Where should you be?" Pei Ze raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yanzhi, "The place where you should be is where I am. How about your injuries?"

"Eh..." Xiao Yanzhi looked away, "It's almost better."

"Almost good?"

Pei Ze repeated, then raised his foot and kicked open the bedroom door, walked quickly to the bed and put Xiao Yanzhi down, before Xiao Yanzhi had time to stop him, Pei Ze took off Xiao Yanzhi's shoes and socks, put As soon as the trouser legs were rolled up, Xiao Yanzhi saw Xiao Yanzhi's calves wrapped in gauze.

"I didn't have this gauze when I left." Pei Ze stared at Xiao Yanzhi coldly.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at the other side of the bed, and said in a low voice, "You remember wrongly, you were pestering me before you left."

Pei Ze stared at Xiao Yanzhi and said, "I never miss anything about you."

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth and stopped talking.

Pei Ze sighed secretly, turned around and sat down beside the bed, and asked again: "How have you been all this time?"

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips, and suddenly crawled into Pei Ze's arms to shrink back, and said in a low voice: "No, not at all, I'm not at all okay if you're not here, I'm the only one left now, you're not here .”

Hearing this at first, Pei Ze thought that Xiao Yanzhi was just being coquettish. After all, from the situation just now, it can be seen that he has suffered a lot of grievances during this period, but looking down at Xiao Yanzhi's expression, Pei Ze felt Knowing that he was wrong, and thinking carefully about what Xiao Yanzhi said, he was the only one left, Pei Ze was stunned.

Could it be Your Majesty...

Pei Ze couldn't help but hugged Xiao Yanzhi tightly, and comforted him, "I won't leave you alone in the future, and I'll take you with me wherever I go."

"En." Xiao Yanzhi responded in a low voice, and could vaguely hear a cry.

Pei Ze asked again, "What happened to the injury on the leg?"

It was originally said that although the bones were broken, they were not misplaced. As long as Xiao Yanzhi didn't move around, they would grow back after a while, but after a while, Xiao Yanzhi's calf was tied with gauze, and that Blood was still oozing from the gauze.

Xiao Yanzhi replied in a low voice: "Besieged by the left and right guards in the Hall of Liangyi, I stood up and walked around, and the bones came out. When the doctor rectified it, it hurt to death."

Left and right guards?Xu Liqian should have been slashed just now!The bastard!

"Does it still hurt now?" Pei Ze kissed Xiao Yanzhi's forehead.

"It hurts..." Xiao Yanzhi burrowed into Pei Ze's arms again.

Pei Ze felt very distressed, and said angrily, "I'm sorry, I should have come back earlier."

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "It's good that you're fine. Are you injured?"

"No."

"Really?" Xiao Yanzhi raised his head and looked at Pei Ze suspiciously.

Pei Ze smiled and said, "Do you want to check it out?"

Xiao Yanzhi blinked, then sat up and began to untie Pei Ze's belt.

Pei Ze was startled, and quickly pressed Xiao Yanzhi's hand: "Really?"

"You said it yourself." Xiao Yanzhi frowned at Pei Ze.

Pei Ze said helplessly, "It's really not hurt.

"Then why not let me see?"

Pei Ze stared at Xiao Yanzhi, and seeing Xiao Yan's firm face, insisting on asking for a result, Pei Ze could only honestly say, "I've been enduring it since you were injured, and it's been a few days. I haven't seen you, I don't promise I can bear it if you touch me again."

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and looked at Pei Ze, and continued to untie Pei Ze's belt: "The injury on the ribs is almost healed, and the injury on the leg is on the calf. If you miss this time, you may have to wait three years before the next time." to touch me."

He probably wants to keep his filial piety for the emperor, right?The important thing is that he wants to do it now, he wants to forget what happened during this period, he wants to feel at ease, and he wants Pei Ze.

Pei Ze was startled, then roared angrily, turned around and overwhelmed Xiao Yanzhi.

Three years of filial piety...
