cannon fodder attack

Yue Lan withdrew his troops, and seeing this, the soldiers of Ming Dynasty couldn't help being happy. They finally didn't have to worry about the enemy's attack again every day.

The lieutenant also reported the news with a happy face.

Yan Ling responded indifferently, not looking very excited.

He said indifferently: "Clean up and prepare to return to Beijing."

Seeing his expression like this, the deputy general couldn't help but tremble: "Yes!"

At this time, Xi Ye had already gone to look for Emperor Yuelan.

He knew that once he was exposed, it would cause many problems, and it was not impossible for the imperial concubine to think that he would be excluded.

But before that, he first contacted the queen's party.

The queen has no children, and has kept a low profile all the year round to avoid the sharpness of the imperial concubine. Now in the eyes of outsiders, she is the image of eating fast and reciting Buddha.

After Xi Ye tried it out, he found that the other party was still ambitious.

Under the leadership of the palace servants, Xi Ye changed his clothes and went to meet Emperor Yuelan.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Long looked at the son below with a complex expression.

He didn't have any feelings for this son who had never met, so his tone belonged to the majesty of a superior: "Since you are back, change your surname, and then put a jade plate on it. I will give you a mansion. In the future You stay there."

The perfunctory inside and outside the words can be heard by anyone.

Xi Ye's expression remained the same, without any trace of fear, he said loudly, "Thank you, Father, there is no need to change your surname."

Li Long paused, suddenly angry, he squinted his eyes: "Don't want to change? Why, you are still reading Daming, if you don't change your surname, you won't be able to get on the jade plate, then you can go back."

There is no nostalgia for this son.

Xi Ye complained silently, if he just went out like this, he might not be able to get out of this palace.

He looked up.

"Father, please calm down. My son chose to come back this time not for your throne. I know that I am no match for the emperor, and I don't want to let the emperor misunderstand. So if I don't change my surname and I won't be on the jade plate, I think the emperor will rest assured. gone."

This is very straightforward.

A prince who does not have the surname of the emperor and does not appear on the royal jade plate, even if he is recognized as an identity, has no chance of being on the throne.

Although Li Long was a little puzzled, he didn't think too much about it. He had met many people and guessed that this son might be for the rest of his life to enjoy the glory and wealth with peace of mind.

Xi Ye didn't have this idea, he had his own plan.

"My son came back with only one purpose, and that was for the piece of jade my father was looking for."

Li Long grabbed the faucet tightly, and stared at Xi Ye sharper: "What did you say? How much do you know?"

If this situation were changed to an ordinary person, he would probably be scared to death, but Xi Ye still showed no fear, and even replied calmly: "My son has been in Daming for so long, so I have naturally heard a lot of news. One of them is that the jade is fake, and the real jade is still in the dark."

Li Long frowned tightly, he realized now that this son might not be simple.

But for a while, he couldn't tell whether what the other party said was true or not.

"What evidence do you have?"

Xi Ye shook his head: "The real jade has been hidden, and I already have some clues, but some accidents happened, and my identity was discovered, so I had no choice but to come back and report to my father."

He smiled: "I am willing to help my father find this piece of jade."

Li Long looked at him without saying a word.

No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

Xi Ye stood up straight with a calm expression on his face.

After a while, Li Long said: "What conditions do you have?"

He is not stupid, this son obviously has a plan.

Xi Ye's smile grew wider: "I only hope that I can be an idle prince in peace in the future."

……

After leaving the palace gate, Xi Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

The jade on the protagonist Shou's body is of course true, but Emperor Yue Lan has no way to prove his words, so he can only believe him temporarily.

He said this to make himself valuable, at least for now, the concubine's party can't touch him.

The imperial concubine dared to blatantly mutilate the emperor's heir because of the connivance of the emperor, but if the emperor insisted on protecting him, even the imperial concubine would not dare to do it lightly.

He is not on the jade plate, and his status and name are not right, so the imperial concubine party will not be too afraid of him.

He also did this to save his life first.

I just don't know what's going on with the protagonist. The other party must have known his true identity after hearing what he said with Concubine Ru.

Thinking of Yan Ling protecting his back injury, Xi Ye muttered, "Could you not apply the medicine seriously?"

The news that Yue Lan had an extra prince quickly spread among the people. The emperor said to the outside world that this son was exiled to the people, and after more than 20 years, he finally found him.

Just after everyone thought that the situation in the court would change because of this, they didn't expect that the prince would not change his family name, nor did he have a jade plate, but the emperor seemed to value him very much, and not only gave him a mansion, but also gave him a lot of benefits. thing.

This confuses everyone.

Li Yunyi, the only prince who had been firmly regarded as Yue Lan's successor before this, finally couldn't sit still, he shook his robe and anxiously went to the imperial concubine's palace.

Concubine Li Gui was painting her nails, when she saw her son rushing in in a hurry, she lightly reprimanded: "What does it look like to be reckless!"

Li Yunyi shouted: "Concubine Mu, why are you so leisurely!"

Concubine Li knew what he was up to after seeing his expression, and after letting her son sit down, she said slowly: "What's the hurry, if you don't put the jade plate on, you're just a bastard, you can't threaten you, your father said, He's still useful."

Speaking of this, Concubine Li is not in a very good mood, she really wants to do something to Xi Ye, even if the other party can't affect him, but she is shocked when she sees it, but she didn't expect that the emperor would come to warn her specially.

But as long as waiting for people is useless, she can still get rid of them.

Concubine Li looked at her son who was still unconvinced, and comforted her: "Don't worry, this is yours, no one can take it away."

The look on Li Yunyi's face became better when he heard this.

Here Xi Ye is busy dealing with people from all walks of life who come to investigate, while Yan Ling has already returned to the imperial court.

Xi Chengxu stood on the city wall, his eyes fixed on a person not far away.

That person has a beautiful appearance, but the heroic spirit between his eyebrows makes people dare not underestimate him. His slender figure and silver armor make his heart beat a little faster for no reason.

Xi Chengxu pursed his lower lip, pressed his palm against the square wall, and slowly tightened it.

Xi Ye is dead, but Yan Ling is still alive.

Although he felt a little flustered and guilty, fearing that Yan Ling would find out that he was plotting against him, he was not too frightened.

He felt that the other party would not really do anything to him. Although he was threatened by the other party before, isn't Xi Ye, who was sent by him to be a substitute, dead now?

Yan Ling rode on the horse and walked all the way towards the city gate. He raised his head slightly, and when he saw the ninety-five supreme being, the corners of his lips twitched.

……

Hearing Fu Yong's words, Xi Ye was stunned for a while, and quickly said: "Wait! Yan Ling...is forced into the palace?"

Fu Yong himself was a little surprised, he nodded: "Yes, master."

Xi Ye was rarely at a loss.

The protagonist was... forced into the palace?What about scumbags?

The situation in Daming has undergone earth-shaking changes in a short period of time.

No one expected that the regent would force the palace.

That day, all the ministers stayed in their mansion tremblingly, not daring to step out of the mansion, because their mansion was surrounded by a large number of soldiers.

In the main hall, Xi Chengxu looked at the young man who was walking towards him step by step, with the aura of killing on the battlefield, his face turned pale.

He said sternly: "Yan Aiqing, are you planning to rebel!"

Yan Ling held the sword in his right hand, and the tip of the sword was still dripping with blood. This strong smell of blood made Xi Chengxu's face a lot ugly.

"Isn't that obvious? The late emperor could rebel, so why can't this king?" Yan Ling sneered, his tone indifferent.

Xi Chengxu took a deep breath, looked at himself surrounded inside and out, endured the embarrassment, and reluctantly said: "Zhen, I promised to be with you."

Yan Ling raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then he realized that he could not help being amused when he heard the unwilling tone of the person in the yellow dragon robe in front of him, who seemed to be giving alms. He turned cold and said, "I am not rare."

Xi Chengxu's eyes widened in surprise, and he was even more angry.

Yan Ling said coldly: "Are you as stupid as you are when I am a king? If you want to kill me, you have to improve your means, and you can do it by colluding with Yue Lan to cede the city, a majestic emperor, with such a little courage. "

It was the first time that he was ridiculed in this way, let alone by Yan Ling, who had always been obedient to him in the past. Xi Chengxu gritted his teeth and threatened, "So what if you ascend to the throne? Your reputation will not be good!"

Yan Ling was expressionless: "Do you think this king is the kind of person who cares about fame?"

He was not in a hurry at this time, took out the handkerchief and began to wipe the sword slowly.

"What's more, this king is just doing what the first emperor did again. He killed my father and brothers and sisters, overthrew the Zhao regime, and left no one alive. Is this king now taking revenge? "

Xi Chengxu was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he stammered: "You, you are the remnants of the Zhao family?!"

Yan Ling repeated those two words playfully: "Remnants?"

He is the posthumous son of the last emperor of the Zhao family.

His mother was just a commoner, once when his father went on a visit in disguise, he got separated from his subordinates without any money, so his mother took in this handsome man out of kindness.

No accident, the two got on good terms, and when his father returned to the palace, he deliberately brought his mother back.

Just as soon as he returned, the first emperor attacked the capital, and the palace was in chaos.

His mother and concubine had just entered the palace, before they could be canonized, because they were unfamiliar, they pretended to be palace maids and escaped the catastrophe.

The members of the royal family were slaughtered mercilessly by the first emperor.

The movement of Yan Ling's hand wiping slightly paused, that piece of jade was also entrusted to his mother by his father in a hurry at that time.

Yan Ling threw the veil casually on the ground, he raised his eyes, and smiled: "So, this king is quite guilty, having recognized a thief as his father for so many years."

In fact, he has no feelings for the Zhao family. After all, when he was born, the Zhao family had already been destroyed. Apart from his mother, he had no other relatives.

After his mother died, he was adopted by Wang with a different surname by accident.

Thinking of that man, disgust flashed in Yan Ling's eyes.

"That's all, let's not talk about the old things, the king and the loser, you should step down."
