The emperor read the story book in the memorial

The Northern and Southern Army went all the way south, and three carriages were not practical, so Zhao Linxu simply changed to a large carriage for Li Jianyu, Xue Ni and Chongxi to sit in and rest together.

Li Jianyu talked with Xue Ni along the way, but he became acquainted with Xue Ni a lot.Xue Ni is well educated, Li Jianyu also knows a lot, and the two chatted very speculatively.Chongxi couldn't sit still, and couldn't help riding around and looking around on the road. Unlike Xue Ni and Li Jianyu, Chongxi had a strong body and knew some basic martial arts self-defense, so no one restrained him.

Before arriving at the frontier, the brigade stopped in Huanyue City. Huanyue is considered a relatively remote city in the frontier, but there is no shortage of resources, so it is suitable for temporarily stationing supplies.

The army camped outside the city. After nightfall, Li Jianyu went back to his tent to rest after dinner.

"City Lord, this is the hot water brought by the emperor."

Li Jianyu was lying on the bed reading a book when he saw a young man outside the curtain of the tent bringing in hot water.

Li Jianyu nodded and asked the servant to put it down.

Zhao Linxu and Zhao Zhanqi should be fighting with the rest of the soldiers in the school field now, and they won't come back so soon, so Li Jianyu doesn't have to wait for him.

That's right, Li Jianyu is now in the same tent as Zhao Linxu.Li Jianyu originally wanted to refuse, but firstly, other people couldn't help thinking about it, and secondly, Li Jianyu himself didn't want to, but Zhao Linxu directly put Li Jianyu's luggage in the main tent. He rolled his eyes and let him go.

Li Jianyu looked around, this is the main tent.The main tent is not extravagant, but it is quite big, and it is divided into inside and outside. Li Jianyu stays on the inner layer where he sleeps, and there is a space on the outer layer for discussing military affairs.

"The little one will wait outside, the city lord just needs to shout." The boy put the hot water basin beside the bed before exiting.

Li Jianyu looked at the hot water and soaked his feet in it.

Now he likes hot things more and more, the hotter the better, not only will he not burn himself, but he will also feel warm and comfortable, especially when the weather is cold and the snow is falling more and more recently.

Li Jianyu closed his eyes slightly, shaking his feet comfortably.

"Whoosh-"

Li Jianyu seemed to have noticed something, turned around suddenly and saw a huge figure.

……not good!

Li Jianyu was startled, and immediately wanted to run away.

That's... that's Taotie? !

No, not Taotie, more like a person who looks like a Taotie.It was a tall and burly man with a thin layer of white hair covering his body.

The man chased up and grabbed Li Jianyu, wrapping his wrist around Li Jianyu's neck as if trying to strangle him to death.

"Well……!"

Li Jianyu's face turned red, and he subconsciously grabbed the man's hand and wanted to take it away, and kept kicking his dangling legs.

can not breathe……

What's going on, could it be an assassin sent by Daxi?How they sneaked in!This is the main tent. How could an assassin come here through the Northern and Southern Army?

"Help……"

Li Jianyu's voice was too weak to call the servants and guards outside.

At the critical moment, Li Jianyu found himself standing by the table, so he reached out with difficulty to take the candlestick on the table and poured the oil on himself, and the fire from the candlestick also stained his clothes.

When the fire meets the cloth and oil, it boils immediately, and it cannot be suppressed.First it was the waist, and then the fire spread, making Li Jianyu's whole body full of fire.

The man saw that the person in front of him was spontaneously combusting, and it was clear that his whole body was in the flames but there was no abnormality, he just felt shocked.

Could it be a secret technique?

"hiss……"

The man's body and arms were burned by the fire on Li Jianyu's body. Taking advantage of the man's loss of strength and showing his flaws, Li Jianyu broke free, terrified, and shouted loudly while rushing towards the door curtain.

"Damn..."

The man couldn't touch Li Jianyu, so when he saw someone coming, he rushed forward like a desperate one, throwing hidden weapons one by one in Li Jianyu's direction.

"You can't escape!"

XXXXXX

The night in Daxi is very quiet. After all, most of them are fishermen who go out early and return late, and the palace is even quieter.

In the bedroom, Feng Guhua curled up on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

Feng Guheng went out to take a shower, finally untied him, let him lie down and rest like this, Feng Guhua wished that Feng Guheng would never come back.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a "click" as the door was pushed open, and Feng Guheng came in after he had bathed, and then he got on the bed and sat beside Feng Guhua, lowered his head and smiled in front of Feng Guhua: "Brother, can you?" miss me?"

Feng Guhua didn't lift her eyelids.

"Brother Huang, can I do a trick for you?"

Feng Guheng didn't care about Feng Guhua's lukewarm attitude, he just put his hand under Feng Guhua's pillow and pulled out a dagger with lightning speed.

"Look, brother, there is actually a dagger hidden here. What do you think is going on?"

Feng Guhua suddenly opened his eyes, his face pale.

"It seems that I haven't finished clearing the power of General Ghost Face and you in the palace..." Feng Juheng said with a smile: "These servants dare to hinder me and Brother Huang, they really deserve to die. Now that we are so close, General Ghost Face It's even more damnable to be able to contact you."

Feng Guhua clutched the bed sheet tightly, her body began to tremble.

"I, I was wrong..."

"Brother Huang, it's good if you know your mistake." Feng Juheng clapped his hands fearfully, and saw the servant move a box in.

Seeing the box, Feng Guhua's eyes turned red immediately, but she was so scared that she couldn't even utter a word of begging for mercy, so she could only bury her head firmly in the bed.He knew that begging for mercy was useless.

"Brother Xu...Brother Xu..."

Seeing Feng Guhua unconsciously muttering that name in fear, Feng Guheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

well.

The night tide in Daxi is raging, but the frontier of Dagong is bustling at the moment.

A vacant tent next to the school grounds is now occupied, and the lights are dim.

Chongxi had received a secret letter from Feng Guqianli before, saying that he would come with the ghost-faced army to meet Zhao Linxu, and now he really came.Imaginary Moon City suddenly became bustling with noise.

"what?"

Inside the tent, everyone was a little surprised when they heard Feng Gu Qianli's words.

Zhao Linxu and Zhao Zhanqi looked at each other, Chongxi was also a little puzzled, and asked: "You said that Feng Guhua and Feng Guheng are not of the same mind?"

"Yes." Feng Gu Qianli pointed to the ghost-faced general standing beside him and said, "Xu Zheng told me that we might be able to take advantage of this and let Feng Guhua help us to cooperate internally and externally."

Chongxi shook his head, trying to clarify what Ghost Face General Xu Zheng and Feng Gu Qianli said.The actual person in power in Daxi is Feng Juheng, and these ghost ideas of trading with Taotie are also from Feng Juheng. Feng Guhua is just a puppet and a cover?Was it Feng Juheng's conspiracy to gain power?

Several people were talking around a round table on which a map was placed.Xu Zheng stepped forward, pressed his palms on the edge of the table and said, "Feng Gu Hua is gentle by nature, kind and simple, and because of this Feng Gu Heng used it to control Daxi. But water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. Attacking has to be efficient."

"I believe in Xu Zheng." Feng Gu Qianli patted Xu Zheng's shoulder and gave Chongxi a positive look.

Xu Zheng has always been leading the Ghost Mask Army to fight for him, protecting him and his concubine, he is his general, and even his right-hand man when he becomes king, Feng Gu Qianli has never had any doubts about Xu Zheng.

Chongxi said: "I also believe in Xu Zheng, the news will not be wrong."

"In this case, we can customize the plan first." Zhao Linxu said with a smile: "If we can take Feng Guheng's life, it will save a lot of trouble."

As they spoke, a lieutenant general stumbled into the tent.

"Didn't I tell you not to let people come in to disturb you?" Zhao Zhanqi frowned slightly.

"General, the matter is urgent! Don't dare not report it!"

"What's wrong."

"The master ledger is on fire!"

Zhao Linxu was taken aback.

"What did you say?"

"The main account is on fire! The flames are soaring into the sky, and now the rest of the people are putting out the fire, but no one sees the city owner!"

Zhao Linxu didn't care about anything else, and rushed out of the tent expressionlessly, knocking down the chair behind him without noticing anything.After all, Zhao Zhanqi is the leader of the north and south, so he naturally has to go out and have a look.

There were three people left in the tent, Chongxi was worried about what might happen, and was about to pull Fengju Qianli to see if he could help, but when he heard a "boom", Xu Zheng suddenly knelt down towards Fengju Qianli.

"Xu Zheng, what are you doing!" Feng Ju Qianli frowned and shouted, "Get up!"

"Your Highness, the last general has never asked for anything from you for many years of fighting, but today, the last general only asks His Highness to fulfill one of your requests." Although Xu Zheng's face was covered by a mask, the seal was still there from the coldness. , but with an extraordinarily serious tone, one can imagine that Xu Zheng's face must be expressionless at the moment, even with ice scum on it.

"Get up and talk first." Feng Juqianli rubbed his temples and said, "Let's talk about what's going on, don't beg, let alone kneel."

"I also ask the emperor to help the general rescue Feng Guhua from Feng Guheng! The general has known Feng Guhua for a long time. He said that he doesn't want to be king, and he doesn't like these conspiracies and intrigues."

Feng Ju Qianli said: "Just save one person, can't you do it?"

"The last general's internal responsibilities in the palace have all been wiped out, and there is really nothing he can do." Xu Zheng said with a hint of despair in his voice: "The last general has nothing to do."

"Then win this battle." Chongxi interjected: "Win this battle and kill Feng Juheng. If you can't save even you, then Feng Juheng really worked hard, and we have nothing to do."

"That's right, that's the only way now." Feng Gu Qianli patted Chongxi on the shoulder.

Kill Feng Guheng...

A trace of sternness flashed across Xu Zheng's eyes.

But outside, when Zhao Linxu walked to the main tent, he saw a scene that shocked him so much that he couldn't move anymore.

The raging fire in front of my eyes turned half of the sky red, and the tent was burning in the fire, and only a shadow could be seen vaguely.Then, a huge bird rushed out of the fire and rushed to the sky.

The feathers of the big bird glistened like pure gold.

"Phoenix...? It's a Phoenix!"

The phoenix waved its wings lightly, and then, the phoenix raised its head, and there was a loud and sharp whistling sound.

"A good omen...it's a good omen!"

"God bless—"
