Chapter 214

When the hooves of the hors Empire trampled on the land of Nanming, the dynasty was still peaceful.

However, every mature Xiping people knows that this kind of peace is only a temporary illusion, just like the disturbing peace before the storm. On the one hand, even the people who have not read the book know the meaning of the four words "lips die and teeth cold". On the other hand, even without the invasion of the hors Empire, they do not think Xiping can continue to calm down.

"Sooner or later, the dog emperor will lose Xiping!"

It's not known who called out this sentence at first. The only thing is that it soon spread to Lu jingnian, who was still elated as the new emperor, and caused the thunder and anger of the king of a country.

"This must be the good work of Lu Jingyi! It was he who let out the wind, in order to let those stupid people rise up against me! Asshole Kill him! He must be killed

After the storm like venting, Lu jingnian immediately fell into panic again. He was as scared as a prisoner who was about to be executed to catch Pei Zan. His eyes were red and his blood was everywhere.

"Do something. You have to protect me. You have to kill him for me! You promised me that you would kill Lu Jingyi! What are you waiting for? Kill him! Whatever you do, kill him right away! "

Pei Zan stood still and looked coldly at Lu jingnian who was in a panic: "why should the emperor be in a panic? At present, although the people resent the emperor, doesn't Lu Jingyi also do nothing? As long as he honestly runs for his life and doesn't pick out to win over people's hearts, then the holy land is stable and there's no need to be so nervous. "

Pei Zan's words relieved Lu jingnian's panic. He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and his tone was no longer so frightened: "yes, indeed But But we can't let those stupid people slander us! What should I do? What do you have to do to satisfy those idiots? "

The question raised by Lu jingnian is not difficult to answer.

If the person he inquired about was Lu Jingyi, who was ten years old, he would tell him that if he cared for the people, cared for the common people, and was a wise king who was free from arrogance and impatience, diligent and loving the people, he would naturally get the hearts of the people who were willing to submit to him.

Unfortunately, he asked the wrong person.

Pei Zan pretended to think for a while, deliberately lowered his voice and said, "the mouth of defending the people needs to use both kindness and authority. This is the best way to do it. The Emperor just needs to put the prisoners in prison for a general amnesty, and their relatives and friends will naturally be grateful. As for this It is necessary to kill a person who will not make the people angry and who is really important to make those mobs bow to their throne. "

"Where can I find such a person?" Lu jingnian was in a trance and believed Pei Zan's nonsense.

Pei Zan said with a faint smile, "isn't the one who lives in Keyuan right now meeting the requirements?"

"Dazhu state means the prince of Yan state?" Lu Jingnian inhaled shilly Shally, and his eyes were somewhat hesitant. "But after all, he came to persuade us. We killed the messenger of Holzer empire. It was already an injustice. If we killed the prince of the crown prince who was in the middle of mediation, would he get into trouble?"

"Xiping is so powerful, who dares to ask for trouble? The collusion between the state of Yan and foreign enemies is a traitor's action. The crown prince has the audacity to say that he should be killed? The emperor's intention to kill the prince is a just act. It shows that Xiping will never go along with foreign enemies. This is a great opportunity to win the hearts of the people! Even if Yan Guozhen comes here to discuss, it's a big deal to go to war with them. Doesn't it just show the power of the emperor? "

Lu jingnian, who spent all his time on the throne of God, had already lost his ability to think independently. He actually believed Pei Zan's absurd suggestion and immediately sent someone to Keyuan to catch Prince Zhong.

However, the people who went to the guest garden had no idea.

In the empty guest garden, the figure of Prince Zhong has disappeared, and the accompanying maid guards are also missing. However, the messy luggage that they have never been able to pack up shows that they left in a hurry.

At the same time, a group of Yan people, including Prince Zhong, are nervous and look around in the house that Bu Qingyi has been idle since he left the capital city. The maids who are far away from their hometown are like frightened animals, holding hands and hugging each other, drawing warmth and comfort from a few compatriots in other countries.

"This is Princess Qingxiang's other courtyard. You can have a rest here first. I will arrange for you to leave the capital as soon as possible."

The young woman in black and hat had a little hoarse voice, and she was tired and haggard.

Prince Zhong quickly stopped the woman, grateful with some confusion: "girl, please stay. May I have your name, please? How do you know your emperor wants to be against us? "

The woman was a little silent. She took off her hat and looked at the prince with sharp eyes: "my name is Fengqi. I'm a friend of Princess Qingxiang. This morning, I received an urgent letter from Princess Qingxiang and King Jin. It said that the treacherous minister might encourage the emperor to kill the envoy of Yan. Let me try to get you out of the palace, and then find a chance to escort you away quietly. As for the reason, she didn't say, I didn't ask, and I didn't intend to ask. "

"I met Princess Qingxiang in the state of Yan before, but I didn't expect to be rescued by her so soon If I have a chance, I have to thank her face to face. "Feng Qi was a little impatient: "it's your business. It has nothing to do with me. I'm going to dredge the way to leave the capital. You're waiting here. You can't leave the capital in any case. Do you understand me? Now the imperial capital is full of the eyes and ears of that treacherous minister. Once your whereabouts are exposed, even I will be harmed by you. Then don't blame me for being impolite! "

The prince nodded again and again, but he was still puzzled: "when I left the palace just now, I saw that all the soldiers of the guard would greet the girl. Is the girl also an official in the court? Or... "

"Why ask so many questions? What I didn't say to you is what I don't want to tell you. Don't ask about it! "

The prince's sincere question touched Fengqi's mold. She turned around and left the house in a hurry.

In fact, she was still puzzled when the servant took the letter to her. She couldn't figure out why Bu Qingyi and Lu Jingyi were looking for her instead of Wei Yu. However, she soon figured out that stealing the envoys of Yan from the palace was equivalent to betraying the emperor. With Wei Yu's loyalty, she would not accept the entrustment. At the critical moment, only she could complete the task.

Refuse? Of course she has power.

But Fengqi doesn't want the crown prince to die on the land of Xiping. He doesn't want Pei Zan to hold Lu jingnian in his hand and control the government. He doesn't want Lu jingnian's stupid decision to ignite the war, so that countless poor children, like their brothers and sisters, have not been loved by their parents since childhood. They lack the warmth of their families and can't even control their own fate.

"Fengqi."

Suddenly came the low call, let Fengqi suddenly stop, stunned look in her face.

Behind her, the shadow lengthened by the sun approached step by step. The shadow belonged to the person she was most familiar with and the one she didn't want to see at the moment.

It took a lot of effort for her to control her mood. She pretended to be indifferent and turned around to squeeze out an ugly smile to the people behind her.

“…… Brother

The elder brother of the Feng family, who was young but with white hair, stood up with his hands down. He was wearing a gold silk tiger embroidered soft armour, which symbolized status and power. Under his two slightly wrinkled eyebrows, he seemed to be able to stare at Fengqi with a penetrating eye.

"The prince of Yan and his entourage suddenly disappeared from the palace. Did you do it?" Fengwu looked back at the silent gate in the quiet alley, with a sense of regret, "if I guess correctly, they will hide in Princess Qingxiang's home, right?"

Feng Qi lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and his voice was slight: "from small to large, nothing can hide your eyes."

"Fengqi, Fengqi, how can you be as confused as fengluo?"

After a long sigh, the slight anger around Fengwu left, and the only thing left was the elder brother's love and helplessness. Fengwu stepped forward and rubbed the top of Fengqi's head, just as she taught her naughty sister when she was a child.

"I specially told you before that Fengqi, King Jin is now a serious criminal of the imperial court. If he contacts with the Baiyi marquis in private, you must get away from this muddy water, so as not to be regarded as an accomplice. But I didn't expect that you were so confused. Instead of staying away from this hot potato, you took the initiative to help him Fengqi, you can see clearly what the situation is now! "

"The emperor is just a puppet. Pei Zan's treacherous minister has the power to cover the sky with his hand, and many loyal and good people have wasted their lives in his hands, isn't that so?" Feng Qi stubbornly dodged his elder brother's hand, and was unwilling to hide between his eyebrows. "Brother, you should know what I hid the prince of Yan for. If the murderer really killed the prince of Yan, the war between Yan and hordu Empire would be inevitable! Can't you predict how much blood will be shed and how criticism will end? "

In the face of Feng Qi's Frank questioning, Feng Wu was guilty. He didn't open his eyes, and frowned more tightly: "do you think the war won't come if the prince is not willing to die? The hordu Empire came to Zhongzhou with the heart of tiger and wolf. It was a delaying plan to form an alliance or later. Sooner or later, they would fight against Xiping. It was just a matter of time! Since it is the inevitable outcome, why do you take such a big risk in order to delay its arrival? Have you ever thought that if Pei Zan finds out that you are obstructing me, even I can't save your life! "

"Then don't protect it! I'm not afraid of death. When I betrayed the former Emperor and followed Wei Yu, I already ignored life and death! "

"But I'm afraid! I'm your brother. I'm afraid of losing you! "

In the secluded and silent lane, the sudden outbreak of dispute came to an abrupt end.

Feng Qi looked at the tearful elder brother, but he couldn't help the two lines of tears falling down. His heart felt as if he had been crushed.

The purpose of their forbearance and hard training over the years has been gradually blurred. Now they only have each other left, in addition to no blood relatives, want to protect each other's mood, there is no difference.

No matter he or she, they just want to protect the most important relatives and survive in this troubled times.
