The fine needle can be forced out with internal force in less than half a moment. Yan Yunhe looked at Yu Qin who was unable to move. This goodbye was said by You Zhihe to Yu Qin, or maybe he said it to Yu Qin.

If something happened to Qi Shaolian, he couldn't just sit back and ignore it.

If he offended Emperor Cheng Jing and lost his sacred heart, he might have to return to Yong'an Marquis Mansion and become an idle nobleman.

If we really say goodbye to the court, it will be difficult to see each other again.

Yan Yunhe stepped back step by step, and the cold wind blew in from the alley. He looked at Yu Qin. There was no anger on the other person's face after being plotted. He just looked straight at Yan Yunhe, with a look that was complicated that Yan Yunhe could not understand.

He sighed, took off his cloak, and wrapped it around Yu Qin.

Afterwards, Yan Yunhe flew away without any hesitation, riding on the night wind and the eaves, galloping all the way back to Fang Mansion.

As soon as he landed in the courtyard, Yan Yunhe used his internal strength to roughly return the bones to their original positions.

With every step he took, Yuexia's figure gradually grew taller amidst the heartbreaking sound of his joints moving. When he passed by the old servant, Yan Yunhe had changed to his original appearance.

He smoothly took the tea from the other person's hand and said to the surprised old servant: "Has your young master returned home?"

His voice had returned to the deep tone of before from the clear and clear voice of a young man.

The old servant nodded, and Yan Yunhe carried the tray into the main room. Fang Zhizhou was already sitting on the chair, looking at the letter in his hand. He looked up and saw Yan Yunhe who had recovered his figure, without showing any surprise.

"The disguise master will be back soon, why don't you wait?" Fang Zhizhou turned over the letter in his hand and said.

"Can't wait." Yan Yunhe put down the tray and poured a cup of tea for Fang Zhizhou: "There are two cups, they can't be prepared for me. Who is coming tonight?"

Fang Zhizhou leaned on the back of his chair: " Yin Niang."

"Yin Niang has been staying well in Yunzhou, and now she comes back suddenly, it seems because of the smuggling case."

Fang Zhizhou did not deny it, and Yan Yunhe also sat down: "So now I am completely excluded? Just because the person behind this may be King Wu?"

"Huaiyang, isn't the purpose of your going to Yunzhou just for this? Are you going back to Shenji Camp?" Fang Zhizhou said calmly, "You can have a good rest before returning to Shenji Camp."

Yan Yunhe's lips curled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Yes. Rest or dismissal?"

Fang Zhizhou put down the letter and said seriously: "Why do you think so? His Majesty has never thought of giving up on you."

Yan Yunhe poured tea into another cup and drank it in one gulp. You want to give up, but you don't plan to see me anymore, right?"

Fang Zhizhou said, "You also know that now is not the right time. When the time comes, you will come back."

Yan Yunhe knew that Fang Zhizhou always spoke in an official tone. But he didn't expect that one day this official talk would come to him.

He went straight to the point: "Even if the King of Wu really conspires to rebel, Qi Shaolian will not rebel. Although the north has been relatively peaceful in the past few years, it is because Qi Shaolian is here and the border cannot be far away from him." When

Fang Zhizhou saw him opening the skylight to speak frankly, he also said bluntly: "This is not a good thing."

Yan Yunhe's face changed slightly: "What do you mean, His Majesty is suspicious of the master?"

Fang Zhizhou sighed: "Look, this is why you can't come forward in this case. Your position determines your It's impossible to be objective."

Yan Yunhe held the armrest, the back of his hand turned white, and the veins were exposed: "Soldiers die on the battlefield, seeking peace and prosperity, to protect the country!"

"Qi Shaolian has guarded the border for many years and has made many achievements. That's true. His family has enjoyed prosperity and wealth in the capital, and the court has never been kind to him." Fang Zhizhou's tone dropped: "Your Majesty called him back to the capital three times, but it was Qi Shaolian who resisted the imperial decree."

Yan Yun He Shenzha . Having lived on the border for many years, I couldn't help but retort when I heard this: "Your Majesty didn't know what the war situation was like at that time. Although there was a small victory, the Tatars only retreated temporarily and could come back at any time. If they really want to take this as a victory, they are ordered to return to Beijing. The enemy took the opportunity to attack, and what should we do with the people we saved after working hard for several years? "

"You want to say that your life will be compromised when you are out there?" Fang Zhizhou said.

I don't know when, this sentence has already become the general's reminder, which originated from the emperor's suspicion.

"The border is heavily guarded and has been stationed for many years. Military supplies have been pressed on the Ministry of Revenue every year and the national treasury has been drained. This is necessary for the stability of the situation. The Ministry of Revenue has never dared to delay it. Even if the whole Beijing is scrimping on food and clothing and suffering the suffering of the people, it does not dare to short of military supplies. "Fang Zhizhou sneered: "But now, no one knows that the imperial troops stationed on the border have already become the famous Qi family army." Yan Yunhe responded with a sneer: "If you want to accuse me, there is no need to say anything

!"

When people look at each other, the atmosphere is sharp and tit-for-tat.

Just as they were about to break out, there was a knock on the door. They looked over and saw Yinniang, still dressed in Tsing Yi, leaning on the door railing, looking at them with her hands behind her hands: "Okay, we are all grown ups, and we are still quarreling."

Fang Zhizhou restrained himself. She looked at her face and softened her tone: "We are not arguing."

Yinniang walked in: "Really? I thought you were going to fight."

Fang Zhizhou chuckled and said: "If we really fight, I'm afraid... Huaiyang's men can't survive three moves."

Yan Yunhe reluctantly calmed down, nodded to Yinniang, and prepared to leave.

Yinniang grabbed him and said, "You haven't taken off those disguises on your face yet?"

After a while, in the guest room, Yinniang poured some medicine into the water, finally wetted it with a handkerchief, and gently poured it into Yanyun. He wiped his face: "Actually, you don't have to think so much. Your Majesty knows how important General Qi is."

Yan Yunhe closed his eyes and said nothing.

Yinniang smiled: "Do you think that I like your majesty and I also say good things for your majesty?"

Yan Yunhe said helplessly: "I know, in fact, your majesty has his own decision in his heart."

Yinniang washed a new veil and said: " In the third year of Chengjing, the Tatars invaded and the border was in chaos. General Lu who was guarding the border was defeated and handed over the three cities on the border. Empress Dowager Jiang killed Lu Ying and replaced him with Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan was also defeated and surrendered the second city. "

Yan Yunhe naturally knew this period of history, and he even experienced that chaotic situation himself.

"It was His Majesty who overrode all opinions and appointed General Qi, who was still unknown at that time." Yinniang said softly: "At that time, General Qi suffered a disastrous defeat in the first battle, and there were a lot of discussions in the court. It was Your Majesty who withstood the pressure and gave General Qi the second rank. A second chance."

Yinniang: "For how many years General Qi has been at the border, soldiers, horses, food and grass have been sent to the border first. It was the early corruption that caused chaos in the army. How could Qi Shaolian do this without His Majesty's strong support behind him. He rectified it vigorously and resolutely."

Yan Yunhe opened his eyes and said calmly to Yinniang: "I know what you mean, but through the ages, sharing weal and woe is easy, and sharing wealth is difficult. People's hearts are changeable, and this matter involves conspiracy. I dare not bet on it. "

Yinniang shook her head: "You still don't understand that the relationship between General Qi and His Majesty may not be as indestructible as we thought, but it will never be vulnerable. "

...

Fang Zhizhou continued to watch in the hall. With the document in hand, Yan Yunhe walked into the hall and froze for a long time before saying: "I'm sorry just now, I shouldn't have been so impulsive."

Fang Zhizhou pinched the bridge of his nose: "It's not easy for you to apologize. Tell me, what do you want me to do? "

Tomorrow is the ceremony for worshiping the gods. I want to enter Jinwu Guard," Yan Yunhe said.

Fang Zhizhou said worriedly: "Do you still want to see His Majesty?"

Yan Yunhe shook his head: "I'm worried that there will be another ambush tomorrow. I don't worry. Let me follow your majesty."

If King Wu was wronged, then the person who conspired against him must have a back-up plan. Most of the Jinwu guards were from aristocratic families. My disciples are all just showy. Surprisingly, they are not as useful as Jinyiwei.

But His Majesty does not believe in Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei will never accompany him tomorrow.

However, on the second day, Yan Yunhe was wearing Jin Wuwei's costume and was hiding in the team. When he saw Yu Qin not far away who was wearing red Feiyu uniform and had serious eyebrows, he was speechless for a moment.

It seems that the Queen Mother is also worried about something happening today and has sent out royal guards.

Although the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is a celebration, the process is solemn and complicated.

Emperor Cheng Jing, dressed in imperial robes, rode out of the palace and knelt down to worship the gods at the Temple of Heaven. At every step of the process, Yan Yunhe must be alert and vigilant.

However, nothing happened until the Emperor came to the observation deck, which meant that the ceremony was about to end.

Yan Yunhe's heart sank to the bottom. It seemed that King Wu's rebellion was a certainty.

At the palace banquet in the evening, Yan Yunhe still didn't come to be summoned by Emperor Jing, so he understood what the other party meant and felt sad for a moment.

Taiyue Department has prepared feasting and dancing for today's palace banquet. The dancers danced their sleeves to the music.

As if it was an omen that there would be no peace tonight, as the drumbeats became louder and louder, a cold light flashed and changes occurred.

The leading dancer came with a sword and attacked Emperor Cheng Jing directly.

Emperor Cheng Jing held the wine in his right hand and rested his left palm on the armrest. He drank with his head lowered and his eyes were lowered. He didn't even raise his eyes to look at the assassin as several guards gathered around him.

The sharp blade slashed down, blood spattered on the jade-white stone steps, and the assassin died on the spot.

When the attack failed, several more assassins drew their swords.

Yan Yunhe kicked an assassin away, and out of the corner of his eye, someone came at him with a knife.

The next second, the man's waist and abdomen were pierced by a golden knife. The commander of the Jin Yiwei pulled out the knife, and the blood stained his lapel. A drop of blood fell on his cheek, like a heart-stirring red mole.

Yu Qin held the golden sword in his hand, and the familiar gaze that fell on Yan Yunhe again was thin and cold.

Yan Yunhe didn't wear any mask, he just appeared in front of people with his own face.

He knew everything would come back to where it started.

The turmoil ended quickly, and Emperor Cheng Jing was urgently escorted back to the palace.

The soldiers dragged down the corpses all over the ground. Death was not the end. The people of Dali Temple were trying to find clues even if they had to disembowel their intestines.

The palace servants came to clean the brick surface stained red with blood. Apart from the sound of cleaning, no one dared to make any more noise.

The air was filled with dead silence, and the banquet cloud stood in front of the hall for a long time before exhaling the turbid air from the chest.

Cining Palace.

Aunt Zhang quietly stepped forward, leaned close to the ear of the Queen Mother, and whispered: "Master Yu has passed out, do you want to continue?"

Queen Mother Jiang gently turned her head to the side, and Zhu Cui did not shake at all: "Are you dead?"

Aunt Zhang shook her head. , Empress Dowager Jiang said calmly: "Since you are not dead, let's continue."
