Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 255

Chapter 255

Xiao Jue returned to Xiao Mansion in the evening.

It was getting dark, He Yan saw him as soon as he walked to the gate of the yard, and hurriedly asked: “Xiao Jue, you know Mr. Wei…”

Xiao Jue said: “I just came back from the Wei mansion.” After all, he entered the back room.

Early this morning, he went to the Nanfu Soldiers to drill outside the city, and later learned about Wei Xuanzhang’s remonstrance, and hurried back. After returning from the Wei mansion, he didn’t have time to change his clothes.

“I’m going out tonight.” He said.

He Yan “cocked” in his heart and looked at him: “Xiao Jue…”

He walked to He Yan and asked, “Is the black jade given to you still there?”

He Yan paused, took the jade pendant from his waist and pinched it in his hand.

“I will keep some people in the house. If I don’t come back tomorrow morning, you will take this jade out of the city and look for Shen Han from Liangzhouwei.”

“Xiao Jue,” He Yan did not answer his words directly, but grabbed his hand and looked uncertain, “Are you…”

She didn’t say the rest, and some things were tacitly understood without saying.

Xiao Jue looked down at her. He knew that although He Yan acted boldly, he had never done anything unusual in these years. but……

“Time is running out.” After a while, he covered the back of He Yan’s hand with his hands and spoke quietly.

He Yan was silent for a long time and nodded: “I see.”

Now that you have decided to do something, don’t look forward to it. Besides, it seems that this will happen sooner or later, sooner or later.

I just didn’t expect it to come so soon.

“Don’t worry.” She looked up at Xiao Jue, her expression lightened again, “I will guard Xiao’s house for you here, and no one can cross my sword. But Xiao Jue, you have to remember Now the sister-in-law is pregnant and can’t bear the shock, so tomorrow morning,” she squeezed Xiao Jue’s hands with her backhand, “you must come back. If you don’t come back, I will bring my sword into the palace to find you.”

Xiao Jue was startled, and said angrily: “Do you dare?”

He Yan was unmoved, “Do you think I dare.”

The girl has a firm gaze. She is stubborn and has no room for regret when she decides. After a long stalemate, Xiao Jue finally defeated the battle and said: “I promise you.”

He Yan smiled: “A word is a deal.”

…

The night enveloped the entire palace.

In the Hall of Jinluang, Prince Guangyan was walking slowly.

The palace people were held back and left, leaving only a few confidantes guarding at the door. He slowly walked up the steps until he reached the end of the steps, and finally stopped in front of the dragon chair.

On the armrest of the bright yellow dragon chair, a golden real dragon was engraved. He stretched out his hand and very slowly stroked the dragon’s whiskers and scales. It was obviously cold, but the blood flowing down his body was boiling hot.

Guang Yan turned and sat on the dragon chair.

He raised his eyes and looked down the steps, and there seemed to be a scene of a hundred officials bending their waists and a group of officials kneeling down in front of him. He is the emperor and deserves to be surrendered by the world. As long as he thinks of this, Guang Yan feels elated, and his chest is extremely refreshing.

“Father…” He murmured in a low voice, “My son, finally took this position.”

This world is finally his!

Ever since he was born, everyone has told him publicly and secretly that Emperor Wenxuan will eventually hand over Jiangshan to him, and in the future, he will become Wei’s emperor. So Guang Yan always thinks so, but he doesn’t know since when he discovered that the situation has changed.

There appeared a Guang Shuo who was more suitable for the son of the day than him.

Emperor Wenxuan’s preference for Concubine Lan’s mother and son made him flustered, and his late refusal to preach the edict made Guang Yan feel a kind of betrayal. An emperor like Emperor Wenxuan is indecisive, unclear about people, and is not worthy of being an emperor. Guang Yan thought that he hadn’t planned to kill his father and kill the king, but only by doing so can everything be restored to its original state.

He is just taking back what belongs to him.

but……

Guang Yan looked at the empty hall, not half happy in his heart. He understands that the reason why he followed so much in the DPRK and China in the past was actually because of Xu Jingfu. Now Xu Jingfu is no longer there, and many of those followers in the past have already turned to Guangshuo.

And He Rufei is dead, even he was a fake from the beginning. If Xiao Huaijin followed Guangshuo, he had no soldiers and horses to contend with Guangshuo, and could only rely on the Utopians. This is why he insisted on agreeing to make peace with the Utopians and promised them the absurdity of opening a bargaining field in Dawei. The reason for the condition.

If it used to be because of the fear that the Utuo would leak the wind, Emperor Wen Xuan was not pleased. So now, it is because he has reached a condition with the Utuo people, and the price those Utuo people have to pay is the people who eradicate Guangshuo for him, and Xiao Huaijin is in his eyes.

Quite fair, Guang Yan believes that there is nothing more important than getting this world.

Thinking of tomorrow, when he was enthroned, everyone in the world would worship him, fearing and respecting him, Guang Yan couldn’t help laughing out loud.

“Father’s bones have not yet entered the tomb, and His Royal Highness has not yet ascended the throne, so why sit on the dragon chair.” A sudden voice interrupted his laugh, “I’m afraid something is wrong?”

Guang Yan looked forward abruptly. At the entrance of the hall, two confidants were holding Guang Shuo around, not letting him in.

Guang Shuo looked at him calmly.

“Let him in.” Guang Yan smiled fiercely. “My fourth brother.”

His confidant released his hand and Guang Shuo walked in.

Guang Yan got up from the dragon chair and looked at him with interest, “Tomorrow is the day when Concubine Lan is buried. My good fourth brother is not the most kind and filial. Why don’t you seize the last opportunity to talk to Concubine Lan? Come here?” He said meaningfully, “Does the fourth brother also want to sit in this chair?”

“When Emperor Father was alive, he never mentioned the matter of burial, and the edict that His Highness said may not be true.” Guang Shuo was unmoved.

“Why isn’t it true?” Guang Yan sneered, “Speaking of which, the royal father entered the imperial mausoleum and let Concubine Lan be buried, which is also the blessing of Concubine Lan. The emperor has always favored Concubine Lan, and he is afraid that he will never find it again after the immortal has gone. Concubine Lan Gui will be taken away with him. Why did you say it to the fourth brother as if you were complaining? With the edict in your hand, how can you prove that it is fake?”

“It’s true or false, Your Highness knows, but it doesn’t matter anymore.” Guang Shuo sighed.

“Not bad!” The prince shook his palm. “It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not, brother, you finally said something useful.”

“I want to talk more than that.” Guang Shuo looked at Guang Yan who was standing on the stairs, his eyes flat: “I also want to talk about the crime of murdering his father and killing the king and usurping the throne.”

As soon as this remark came out, all in the hall fell silent.

The servant guarding the door looked like an enemy, staring at Guangshuo. Guangshuo just stood quietly, without any weapons on his body. From the appearance, he looked like a scholar without the power to bind a chicken.

Guangyan stared at him closely, “What did you say?”

“I said,” Guang Shuo’s eyes collided with him, without giving way, “His Royal Highness, you, kill your father and kill the king, and seek to usurp the throne.”

Guang Yan looked at the people in front of him, Guang Shuo was in front of him, always cautious, taciturn, and never participated in affairs. Even though he hated Guang Shuo, he also believed in his heart that Guang Shuo could not overcome any waves. But now, I don’t know since when, this person’s gaze is no longer as shrinking as it used to be. When he looks straight over, it looks like an invisible fire is burning, and there is also a wanton and domineering unique to the royal family.

“Joke!” Guang Yan said sarcastically, “This palace is a prince, and the world belongs to this palace. Why does this palace want to kill the father and kill the king? It is not pleased. If you want to say that the one who seeks to usurp the throne should be you, right?” He said grimly, “The fourth brother didn’t always hope that his father would waste his life and grow up young. Why, now that the plan is empty, he wants to slander my palace out of thin air?”

“His Royal Highness, how can you think that the world is yours?” Guang Shuo suddenly smiled, “The plan fell through?”

Guang Yan’s smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and asked: “What do you mean by this?”

Extensive but silent.

He suddenly realized something and said loudly: “Come on, come—”

Someone indeed came, but it was not his. Soldiers and horses in golden armor poured in from outside, and the leader was actually Yanhe.

“Guide to Germany?” Guang Yan was startled, and then said angrily: “Are you crazy? Do you know this is a rebellion! This is collusion!”

Guang Yan did not deliberately suppress Yan He. For one thing, the Yan family was a nouveau riche, and they had always been clear-cut to protect themselves in court battles. Xiao Jiashu was not as popular as Xiao Jiashu. Secondly, Guang Yan also heard that Yan He and Xiao Huaijin didn’t deal with him. The enemy’s enemy was a friend. Guang Yan once wanted to recruit Yan He for his own use. It’s just that Yan He has not been in Shuojing for many years, and Father Yan is cunning like a fox, and he promises so much, but he has never really gotten a favor.

But now, never expected that Yan He would turn to Guangshuo!

Guang Yan was shocked and angry: “How dare you treat this palace like this!”

“General Yan is not colluding with trouble.” Guang Shuo said calmly: “It’s just an order to capture the traitor.”

“Guangshuo, don’t spit people here!”

Guang Shuo smiled nonchalantly, and only said: “Whether there is blood spitting or not, His Highness is clear in his heart.”

At this time, another person came in outside, who was actually the fifth prince Guangji, who was held by the guards. As soon as Guangji arrived in the hall, he pointed at Guangyan and shouted: “That’s the prince brother! That day, I was learning Chinese characters in the palace of the father. Seeing that it was the prince’s brother carrying the basket into the father’s bedroom… and then the prince’s brother left, and Mr. He went in, and said… that the father is dead!”

Without waiting for Guang Yan to speak, Guang Shuo said: “The imperial physician Lin in the palace found traces of poisonous poison in the blanket of the father’s palace. Only his Royal Highness brought the ginseng soup to the father’s palace that day.”

Guang Yan sneered: “My father was not poisoned to death!”

How Emperor Wen Xuan died, he knew better than anyone else, if Guang Shuo thought he could use this to condemn him, it would be a big mistake.

“His Royal Highness, it doesn’t matter whether it is true or not.”

Guang Yan was taken aback. This was just Guang Shuo’s reply to his false will, but now, there is nothing wrong with using it here.

Now, no one cares what the truth is. In royal battles, there have always been only winners and losers.

The winner, the emperor of the dragon, the loser, was a complete defeat.

“Guangshuo, this palace warns you, people from this palace will come right away, tomorrow is the day to enter the imperial tomb, this palace…”

“His Royal Highness may not know,” Guang Shuo looked at him, seemingly with indifferent pity, “General Feng Yun’s people have already arrived outside Chengle Palace, Your Highness…” He paused and said, “To count. Abandon the armour to fight.”

“Impossible!” Guang Yan’s voice suddenly became sharp. He said: “Impossible!”

But in my heart, panic and horror have gradually risen, and it is already this hour. The hall is full of people brought by Yan He, his people have not come in for a long time, if there are people from Xiao Huaijin outside…

Those Utopians… asshole, those Utopians are useless at this time!

Chu Zilan, a name suddenly caught in Guang Yan’s heart, how could his plan be leaked by the other party’s unknown prophet, Chu Zilan? That bastard, unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!

“Guangshuo, you don’t want to be proud,” Guangyan has reached the end of the crossbow, gritted his teeth and looked at the person in front of him, and slowly backed away, “You think the world will believe your nonsense. This palace is the crown prince, the crown prince, and the ceremony of ascending the throne. Close at hand, if you harm this palace at this time, everyone in the world will discuss your conspiracy. Even if you are in this position, your name will be unfair for the rest of your life. You will inevitably be pointed out!”

“His Royal Highness is worrying too much.” Guang Shuo didn’t have any other emotions because of his words. He looked at Guang Yan’s gaze as if he was looking at something ridiculous. edict.”

“You lied!” Guang Yan’s eyes split, “How is it possible?”

“The edict is in the hands of a courtier trusted by the emperor. It’s not that you didn’t see it, it means you don’t know.” Guang Shuo turned sideways slightly, the person behind him stepped forward and handed him a bow and arrow.

He played with bows and arrows, and slowly said, “In this way, your Royal Highness still thinks that everyone in the world will talk about me. Isn’t it right?”

Guang Yanji wanted to vomit blood. At this time, he suddenly understood that at the beginning, Guang Shuo said “true or false is not important”.

If you want to stop people from all over the world, you only need to come up with an edict, who cares if it is true or not? People in the world will not distinguish one by one. As long as the surviving person in this hall today is Guangshuo, what will others say in the future, will Guangshuo have the final say?

He looked at his fourth brother who had always been reticent, slowly picked up his bow and arrow, and the arrow was facing him, after Guang Yan subconsciously hid in the dragon chair, he said angrily: “What do you want to do? Guang Shuo, stop – ”

He didn’t finish his words.

A strong wind blew abruptly from the Jinluang Temple, blowing out the surrounding lights. In the dim temple, a cluster of viscous blood slowly descended along the dragon chair, and put the dragon’s beard and dragon head on the armrest of the real dragon. Distinct.

Like silent peeking, but also like sneer.

The sound of the wind concealed all the killing intent, and it was a cold night.

…

As the morning light faded, He Yan looked at the sky light gradually shining outside the window, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

Since Xiao Jue left last night, she hasn’t closed her eyes. Bai Rongwei was pregnant, and He Yan didn’t dare to tell her anything else. Although Xiao Jing was a little skeptical, she was concealed, and she didn’t know what had happened. He Yan guarded alone, rubbing the black jade in his hand from time to time, thinking in his heart what if Xiao Jue hadn’t come back in the morning?

Even if you go out of the city to find Shen Han, you may not really be foolproof.

As he was thinking, there was movement outside, He Yan stood up suddenly, rushed out the door, and saw Xiao Jue walking outside.

The armor he was wearing still had a dark blood stain on it. He Yan asked, “Are you injured?”

At this point in time, Qingmei hadn’t gotten up yet, Xiao Jue frowned slightly and asked, “You didn’t sleep all night?”

“I can’t sleep.” He Yan stared at his face. He looked a little tired, but it was not bad. He Yan asked: “This blood…”

“It’s not mine.” Xiao Jue paused. “Enter the room and say.”

When the two arrived in the room, He Yan closed the door, turned around and asked, “In the palace last night…”

“The prince is dead.” Xiao Jue looked at her.

This was expected. In fact, from that day when he saw Yan He in Wei’s house, He Yan had a hunch. Yanhe did not directly answer her question, but in many cases, silence is an answer.

He Yan helped him hang Yinqiu on the wall, and Xiao Jue took off his armor and sat down at the table. He Yan poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it to him: “Xiao Jue, what happened last night?”

Xiao Jue looked at her, and after a while, knowing that if he didn’t say it, it would be impossible to get out of this door today, he sighed and told the story of last night.

He Yan listened intently.

Xiao Jue only learned a little about what happened in the Jinluan Temple last night. At that time, he brought half of the Nanfu soldiers to fight with the Prince’s men in front of Chengle Palace. In the inside where Yan He took the people, when he came out, he only knew that Guang Yan was shot and killed by Guang Shuo himself.

“Are you… deliberately not going to the Jinluan Temple?” He Yan hesitated for a while before asking.

Xiao Jue lowered his head, smiled, and said quietly: “The Xiao family is different from the Yan family. The Yan family is an upstart and still attached to the royal family. I have too much military power. If I have witnessed the four princes shooting their brothers, even if nothing happens now, After a long time, it is inevitable that the four princes will feel uncomfortable.”

“I don’t want to leave a thorn in the heart of the fourth prince.”

Tianwei is unpredictable, and without Guangyan, the four princes will be the ninth-five princes in the future. Even though he may be nothing right now, once he sits in that position, or involuntarily, or changed due to things, it is better to have a scene that might have appeared in the first place.

“So, letting Yan He go is also a good choice. The Yan family’s military power is not strong, and it is an upstart, and has no foundation. The four princes have no scruples in using it.” He Yan said, “I just didn’t expect that Yan He would actually do it. Follow the four princes.”

The Yan family had been neutral for so many years, cunning like a fox, but at the last moment gave Guang Yan a blow. I’m afraid Guang Yan didn’t expect it.

“The skin will not save the hair,” Xiao Jue held up the tea cup, took a sip, then said: “When you have to make a choice, even if you don’t want it, you must do it.”

He Yan heaved a sigh of relief, “In short, you are fine. But…” She looked at Xiao Jue and asked in a low voice, “Have your majesty really set the edict to change the position of the prince? The fifth prince? Did you really see the prince poisoning with your own eyes?”

One by one like this one by one, it happened too coincidentally, so that Guangshuo ascended the throne, and it became a matter of no objection and a matter of course.

“It doesn’t matter whether it is true or not.” Xiao Jue narrowed his eyes, “The prince is dead.”

All the dust settled.
