Before you know it, the new year is approaching.

However, this New Year, I only love life and death.

In a barren mountain and wild forest, Nan Su was sitting in the large tent of the Chinese army, with several subordinates standing on both sides, looking downcast, staring at an envoy sent by Da Xia, not at all happy about the approaching New Year.

After a few rounds of wrangling, the envoy pointedly accused: "King Tuozhen, didn't you say that the Yan Kingdom would never come to support you? Then what happened to Qin Shize? What happened to the Li family?"

This gesture is as if Nan Su is a subordinate of their Great Xia.

Nan Su picked his fingernails, glanced at him lazily, and didn't speak.

Seeing this, the envoy was determined, and his voice raised a lot: "One day we can't find Dianchen's body, and we have reason to believe that he is still alive. Now that the matter is up to now, please ask King Tuozhen to think of ways to find him! Emperor Yan The imperial decree has been issued, once Dianchen takes the throne, I don’t think I need to say what kind of revenge you will suffer? We are all grasshoppers on the same boat now, please ask King Zhen to think twice.”

Another envoy from Lindan also snorted coldly, and then said: "The New Year is coming, if we take this opportunity to rush into Ansheng, it is not impossible. King Tuozhen and his hiding here all day long , why not go to Jinling to prevent Dian Chen from ascending the throne."

"You're absolutely right."

Nan Su finally admired his fingernails enough, raised his face, and said with a gentle smile: "After all, I cut off all the back roads of Dianchen's food and grass and incited civil unrest, thus giving you a great opportunity, but the three of you You couldn't capture An Sheng for many months, and later on you couldn't even catch Dianchen in your own territory, and now you can only send you two dogs to bark in front of me."

"you!"

The Great Xia envoy's face blushed immediately, but he insisted: "We wiped out An Sheng and the Yan army who ran to Great Xia, could it be that..."

"Okay." Nan Su raised his hand to interrupt him, and continued to ask: "Is there anything substantive to discuss?"

The two envoys glanced at each other, and at this moment, Nan Su suddenly laughed lightly, walked out, and said calmly: "Dian Chen will definitely die, and Dayan will also surely die, you two can rest assured. "

A big stone fell in the hearts of the two of them, and when they were complacent about their lobbying skills, suddenly a cold light smeared their throats, and immediately blood spattered, bloody.

"But you two have to die too, because, you two make me very unhappy."

The afternoon light was a bit dazzling, shaking the dark blue tassels on Nan Su's earlobe, mixed with faint gold threads, so dazzling.

He looked at the two struggling on the ground indifferently, and said with a smile: "Remember, when I want to cooperate with you, you are friends, and when I don't want to cooperate with you bastards, you think you have that little trick , what can you threaten me? I, Nansu, what have I been afraid of?"

After that, he laughed and left, every step he took brought out a string of bloody footprints.

That day, Nan Su didn't have dinner, but summoned his confidants overnight.

He sat in the center of the big tent, looking at the blurred outline of An Sheng in the white snow field, half-closed his eyes, and said coldly: "You guys know how much our Qingyuan has been wronged by the royal family these years, and once Dian Chen Ascension to the throne is undoubtedly another reincarnation! Killing him at this moment is equivalent to cutting off half of Dayan's head and breaking one of Dayan's arms, which is more effective than killing a hundred thousand troops. Tell the soldiers , When you see this person later, kill him on the spot, regardless of life or death, whoever cuts off his head, I will reward him with tens of thousands of gold and silver!"

Regarding all the decisions made by Nansu, all the confidantes have been silently implementing them, and even if they have objections, they dare not disobey them.

But the moment Nan Su said this, people fell silent, and after a long time, finally an officer stepped forward and said sonorously: "Your Majesty, forgive me for not being able to pass on the orders, the subordinates are from Qingyuan, and even more so from Dayan." People, no matter what, they can't cut off the head of their own new emperor—”

However, just halfway through his words, the head on the item had already flown far away.

The warm blood soaked the pure white snow, and in the silence, Chen Zide suddenly recovered from his stupefaction, stepped forward cautiously, and persuaded: "My lord..."

"Do you want to question this king too!?" Nan Su turned around, raised his sword and pointed at him, with gloomy eyes.

Chen Zide's forehead suddenly dripped with cold sweat, he hesitated and said: "Subordinate...Subordinate dare not..."

"very good!"

Nan Su laughed again, looking at the corpse that hadn't had time to close his eyes, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go!"

……

It was snowing heavily outside, and the world was desolate.

The wind was blowing, and Qin Shize was standing in the cold wind wearing a black long fur coat. Suddenly he heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him. Looking back, it turned out to be Li Fat Er, panting while running: "Hurry up!" Go and see... the sixth...the sixth prince is awake..."

In today's Ansheng City, there are many swords and armors everywhere, with a look of killing, but Qin Shize knows that a strange atmosphere of celebration has spread from Jinling City to the surroundings.

According to the news from Jinling News, on the night when the first emperor passed away, the entire Jinling was full of turmoil, especially after the establishment of the new emperor, all kinds of dissatisfied voices came out. No one knew the exact reason, but after a while, the whole Jinling was screaming and killing.

Half an hour later, the scale of the fight expanded, and the soldiers of the Fourth Prince Dian Song also joined the battle circle. After the brothers discovered each other's intentions, they became angry and wanted to put their brothers to death, and then rushed into the palace to force their position !

It's just that the temple collapsed, and the god is also a god!

The emperor is still gone, but all the cronies he left behind are there. When the trembling people came out of their homes the next day, they found that the blood on the long street had been washed away, and the entire Jinling was as calm as ever, like the center of a storm!

Everything was as if nothing had happened, but the common people found out after a long time that several princes had never appeared in Jinling since that day...

No one knew how the old man would feel when he saw his sons killing each other.

A bloody palace change was erased lightly like this, leaving no trace in the annals of history for thousands of years.

At present, the overall situation is uncertain, and the new emperor is urgently needed to sit in charge, so the emperor's funeral will be simplified.

The pitch-black palace lanterns were only hung up for a few days before they were taken down, and all the items related to the new emperor's ascension to the throne were being intensively prepared, just waiting for the palace to return.After this news spread to the people, it was like a stone stirring up thousands of waves. The common people kowtowed and shouted "Long live the new emperor", especially those refugees who had received the favor of the palace, shed tears of excitement!

The night has not completely passed, but they feel that the road ahead is bright, and it seems that they can lead to a brand new world...

"Six princes."

At the gate of Ansheng City, Qin Shize looked at the man in front of him, carefully sizing up his facial features for the first time, as if they were meeting for the first time.

Dian Chen.

These two words were like a spell, instantly reminding him of killing, victory and death.

Finally, he bent his noble spine deeply, knelt on one knee, lowered his head slightly, and saluted with his sword: "I beg the prince to stay in Ansheng for a few more days. You are still ill and need to recuperate. After ten days, I will arrive at Ansheng to pick you up, the current domestic situation is not completely stable, I hope you will take care of yourself!"

"No need, I have more important things to do now, and I will return to Jinling later."

"It can be handed over to the minister, and the minister will do his best."

"General Qin, Dian is very grateful to you for guarding Ansheng, but I need to go to this matter myself."

The man refused, as if he hadn't gotten used to putting himself in the position of the new emperor, but it was also possible, but the relationship between the two of them was rather awkward. Qin Shize raised his head slightly, and saw the thin man stepping on the horseback, lifting the rein and walking slowly, with his right hand He lifted it up, and the five hundred cavalry behind him immediately mounted their horses together, and their actions were decisive and uniform.

The man turned his head and looked at the cemetery in the south of the city. He straightened his spine and said softly, "I will ask General Qin to take care of the soldier I brought back. I will send someone to pick him up when he recovers from his injuries."

"The minister obeys the order!"

The horse's hoof stepped on the snow field, and immediately set off white snow waves.

After the cavalry left, Qin Shize got up and stood quietly. It took a long time before he suddenly realized that he forgot to ask about Nansu, and he didn't have time to tell Dianchen about Ansheng's situation during this period.

However, it seems that all of this is not important anymore. The current situation is improving. Once Dianchen ascends the throne and the domestic turmoil is settled down, someone will naturally settle this bloody account!

So, for the time being, he withheld the "irrelevant" news that Qingyuan had sent military rations, not wanting to bother the new emperor who had already worked very hard—he could see that he didn't want to mention everything about An Sheng, maybe it was because Afraid of sadness.

For a general, there is nothing more painful than losing ground and soldiers.

But most of the time, what changes history is often a thought of these people in it. For example, now, Dianchen thought that Qin Shize brought the food and grass himself, so he didn't ask much, but went straight to Pingshun's location , ready to pick up Gu Qiao and Xingxing...

And on the second night, a Qingyuan army arrived in Ansheng.

The noon sun suddenly dimmed, and a chill condensed in the air. The soldiers guarding the city stood on the city wall and looked down from a height. They could only see the endless black iron-colored tide, shining with a metallic cold light in the sun, rolling in from the sky. Come.

Once bitten by a snake, the soldiers were afraid of well ropes for ten years. The soldiers turned pale with fright. Soldiers of Great Xia!"

But the soldiers beat harder instead, and shouted without thinking: "What do you know! King Tuozhen is more hateful than Daxia!"

"Please open the city gate! We are here to deliver food!"

A soldier from Qingyuan stepped forward to say this, and showed his identity certificate.

However, Ansheng Guannei did not respond for a long time.

The strong wind was blowing, and the banner was flying overhead. After waiting for a long time, Gu Qiao finally opened the curtain and got out of the carriage. However, just a few miles outside the city gate, an arrow flew with a "whoosh" sound. Come, lost some strength, just nailed to his feet.

Gu Qiao looked up, and saw a soldier standing on the city wall with bloodshot eyes, the second bowstring was fully drawn, and he shouted sharply: "We don't need it, take your so-called food and grass and get out!"

"How dare you be so rude to King Tuozhen..."

The other Xing'an soldier next to him was shocked, and quickly snatched his bow and arrow. The soldiers refused, and the two of them fought into a ball in an instant and disappeared behind the wall.

Gu Qiao stood facing the wind, with a bitter smile on his lips, he stepped forward and shouted: "Please communicate with General Qin and open the city gate!"

In fact, why does he want to be the King of Tuozhen?

It's just that he is about to give birth at this moment. If he loses this identity, he and the child will be in danger if Nan Su makes trouble again. Moreover, he still needs to use Qing Yuan's power to find Lu Yao, and to find Dian Chen in Daxia...

Dian Chen.

At the mention of this name, there was an unspeakable pain in his heart.

When he heard the news that the man committed suicide, his eyes went dark, and he felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured from the top of his head.No one, no one knows how scared he is, so scared that even his hands and feet are numb, and his blood is flowing backwards...

He thought fearfully and fearfully: Does Dianchen know that he is a family man?

If he had something good or bad, how would he and his two children live...

The city guards still refused to open the city gate. Gu Qiao was anxious, pursed his lips, and finally turned his head and said: "Leave the food and grass, and then you follow me to Daxia. Speed ​​up!"

"Nan Su!"

Hearing this familiar voice suddenly, Gu Qiao suddenly had a rapid heartbeat, and quickly looked up, only to see Fatty Li standing there, looking at him coldly and uncharacteristically, clenched his hands on the wall into fists, and shouted: "You Do you have the face to come to Ansheng?"

Gu Qiao couldn't speak, so he could only avoid the seriousness and said lightly: "You open the city gate first!"

"Hehe," Fatty Li looked at him without blinking, "What if I open the city gate and you rush in with Daxia's soldiers?"

This!

Gu Qiao froze. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason, so he could only say, "Okay, there are many refugees behind Ansheng, so I'll leave first, and you will have someone carry the food and grass in later!"

Fatty Li snorted coldly, ignoring him.

Gu Qiao pursed his lips, and continued to say cheekily: "Is there any news from Dianchen?"

"how?"

Fatty Li suddenly became excited, his voice trembling with disappointment: "Have you degraded yourself and become a scout of Daxia and Lindan now?"

Gu Qiao's hands and feet were cold, and he stood there for a while. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen...

"Open the city gate!"

The next moment, he supported his swollen belly and screamed: "Open the city gate!"

……

And just five hundred miles away, the wind was blowing and blowing, and Dianchen was wearing a long black fur coat and riding on the horseback. He didn't know what to think, and the corners of his mouth were gently drawn.

Over his head, the sun was covered with dark clouds, and the winter was bleak, but the new year was here.

Everything seems to be over soon...

There was a heavy snowstorm tonight, so Dianchen ordered to rest for the whole night. However, he had just finished setting up his camp when he heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the south. year follower.

The man was covered in blood and his hair was disheveled. He was startled when he saw Dian Chen, and then he fell down in front of him as if he was a relative.

When Dianchen was wondering that this person seemed to know him, he only heard him shout loudly: "Great! Sixth Master, you are actually here, please lead your troops to rescue the imperial concubine, it will be too late!"

"Bang!" With a sound, the sword in Dianchen's hand fell to the ground. He frowned, stepped forward and said coldly, "What did you say? Say it again!"

"Sixth Master, please make a decree. The thieves in the palace loosed the chaos that night, but fortunately they were stopped by the Li family! Under defeat, he escaped from Jinling with the army, and then found the whereabouts of the imperial concubine. I was the only one who escaped. I wanted to go to Ansheng to inform General Qin, but unexpectedly I met you here! Sixth Master, please hurry up and save the imperial concubine!"

Dian Chen frowned, and said in a deep voice: "How does Dian Song know where the imperial concubine is?"

The young man's face was full of dust, his eyes were red and he cried out in grief and anger: "The little one doesn't know, they seem to have jumped from the sky, Dian Song killed everyone, and he also threatened to chop the imperial concubine into pieces tonight, To bury the late emperor, to bury his throne..."

While talking, he shed tears, took out a jade wrench finger from his waist, and offered it: "By the way, it fell from the imperial concubine at that time, and was picked up by the little one. It is precious, and the little one picked it up." I think General Qin should be able to recognize him."

Dianchen slowly took the finger, only to see that the color is clear and the corners are round, it is the one he gave him when he was in Hongfu Temple.He clenched it tightly, strongly restraining his desire to tremble, his eyes seemed to turn into snow, almost turning into snow water.

In fact, he was not sure whether the man who reported the letter was a servant of the house, but if not, what was it? Whose blood was on the finger?

"Sixth Master! Go quickly, if you don't go, it will be too late!"

The big man knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged.

Dianchen looked gloomy, staring at the emptiness of the snow field for a long time without speaking.

Almost all his former subordinates were dead, and the five hundred soldiers following him at this moment were all drawn from Qin Shize, and they didn't know Gu Qiao's identity.Someone looked at him and said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, what this person said is very false. King Tuozhen stayed in Qingyuan well, how could he be kidnapped by Dian Song?"

Dianchen shook his head, and after reporting a place name, he said, "Test."

"Yes!"

At dawn, a scout rushed back and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, it has been found out that the house here has been looted and is empty, and some people have seen Diansong's army appearing nearby, and the speed is very fast." Come on, I just left an hour ago."

Dianchen nodded, did not speak, but his brain was running at high speed.

After a while, another inspector came back and said, "Your Highness, it has been found out that King Tuozhen has been in Qingyuan City for a few days."

"Is the news reliable?"

"It should be reliable. The subordinates asked the businessmen in the past. They said that they saw King Tuozhen's men asking around to find people."

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"

"Not sure, judging from the current situation, it might be looking for you..." The scout paused, and said in confusion, "Imperial concubine?"

The strong wind was blowing, and the world was desolate. Dianchen was dressed in black fox fur, standing tall, and suddenly walked up to the horse, and said in a low but powerful voice: "The whole army will pull out the camp!"

"His Royal Highness!"

A general grabbed the reins of Dianchen's horse, stopped in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "You can't go, there are many doubts about this matter, and even if Diansong really kidnapped your... a certain concubine, But with our current strength, we shouldn’t act rashly.”

Dianchen raised his eyes lightly, but did not speak.

"Yes, Your Highness." Another general said in a deep voice, "I also feel that this matter is extremely strange. I am waiting for a secret operation. Why did I bump into the person who reported the letter so easily? And the timing is so good?"

"Your Highness, this subordinate also feels that something is suspicious."

"Your Highness, it is imperative to be on guard against others, and I also feel that returning to Jinling immediately according to the original plan is the best policy."

"Your Highness..."

"Your Highness..."

"You are all right." After a long time, Dianchen nodded and said slowly.

Everyone immediately smiled, thinking that he finally listened, but soon, Dian Chen frowned and looked at them seriously, and said in a deep voice: "But if what the attendant said is true, what should we do? "

Everyone was stunned, but what if it was true?Although the woman seems to have given birth to a son for Dianchen, but women are like clothes, if you don't have them, you can just find them again?And, didn't everyone say that Dianchen's beloved was Nan Su?Why did another imperial concubine pop up all of a sudden, it really hurt everyone's brains.

Dianchen didn't wait for everyone's answer, but got on his horse on his own. Everyone was startled, and they all went forward to stop him.

The general who spoke first tried to persuade: "Your Highness, I think this matter is probably false, and Dian Song deliberately lured you into the bait..."

"Nine times out of ten it is false, what about the other one out of ten?"

The general was stunned: "Could it be worth risking your life just for this one out of ten?"

Dianchen didn't answer, just shook his head quietly, and said softly: "I still can't be completely sure..."

He didn't continue talking, and he didn't say that he wasn't completely sure about anything. The man's expression suddenly became a little ethereal. He quietly raised his head, looked at the heavy snow flying in the distance, suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a sneer: "Dian Song Want my life, but unfortunately, my life is hard."

"Listen to the order!" Dianchen's eyes were cold, and there was a flash of ruthlessness: "You send people to notify General Qin, and quickly lead troops to support, and the rest will follow me first!"

A trace of helplessness flashed in everyone's eyes, but in an instant, a soldier was shocked, responded, and quickly mounted his horse.

The sound of horseshoes gradually left, Dianchen sat on the horseback, narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were calm, but there was an undercurrent flowing slowly.

Before he actually saw Gu Qiao, he actually had a little doubt in his heart—but this was not the reason for him not to go.

if only……

If there is a slight possibility that it is him, he will go, definitely will go!
