Chapter 144 Disintegration
Yan Chengxuan's calm heart was immediately tightened, and he didn't dare to move when he saw that familiar figure.

"Li Yanchuan!" Yan Chengxuan frowned and looked at him, but he couldn't say a word of meanness.This word is not only used to describe a person now, he shouted in hatred, and then his eyes fell on that strand of blue and white.

Li Xunchuan squeezed the back of Wen Rongxi's neck, and said in a deep voice, "I also advise you to think about it."

Wen Rongxi didn't speak, his deep look at Yan Chengxuan was enough to make him disarm and surrender.Yan Chengxuan's shock was not feigned, Li Yanchuan believed a little bit of what Wen Rongxi said, that is, he had never contacted Yan Chengxuan.

"Yan Shu..." Yan Chengxuan called softly.

Wen Rongxi was unusually calm, he didn't express any fear, and he didn't care about the fact that he became a bargaining chip, as if Li Yanchuan, a trapped beast strangling him, was not threatening at all, he didn't want to say anything to Yan Chengxuan, because he had nothing to say .

Ye Ji looked at the people guarding Yan Chengxuan, so she clenched the Yangyue Dao tightly and wanted to fight to the death. Li Yanchuan said softly, "Don't be impulsive!"

"Ye Ji..." Ye Lanyi called Ye Ji, she shook her head with tears in her eyes, and said, "Be good, let's go..."

Yan Chengxuan gritted his teeth, the blade in his hand was trembling uncontrollably following his breathing movements, Ye Lanyi clenched Mo Lan's dress tightly, put both hands on Yan Chengxuan's wrists, and was about to stab the knife into his throat.

It was too late and then too soon, Yan Qingyao rushed out from nowhere, and pushed Yan Chengxuan away before everyone could react.Yan Chengxuan was pulled back by Yan Qingyao, Ye Lanyi leaned back slightly, and was bumped into the steps by Yan Qingyao.

Before Ye Ji blurted out the word "sister", she hurried forward and pulled Ye Lanyi's wrist to protect her in her arms.

"Sister!" Yan Chengxuan supported Yan Qingyao, and when she stood up, he said sharply, "What are you doing?"

"Ah Xuan..." Yan Qingyao tightly grasped his sleeves, and said, "Listen to sister, don't make any further mistakes, okay, just stop here..."

Yan Chengxuan looked at her tearful eyes and shook his head solemnly: "Impossible!"

Li Xunchuan turned his head to look at Ye Ji: "Take Concubine Lan away!"

Ye Ji helped Ye Lanyi steady, and wanted to lead her forward, but felt that Ye Lanyi had no strength at all, and fell limp in Ye Ji's arms after taking a few steps.Ye Ji can be considered an experienced person, she immediately sensed that something was wrong with Ye Lanyi.

"Sister..." Ye Ji held Ye Lanyi's wrist, Ye Lanyi looked at her and smiled lightly, then held her hand and said softly: "It's too late, you go quickly..."

Ye Ji held back the tears that were about to burst out, she shook her head vigorously, grabbed Ye Lanyi's arm, and wanted to hug her and leave.Ye Lanyi called her name a few times helplessly, and then heard Yan Chengxuan being killed.

Li Xunchuan protected Wen Rongxi behind him, and had no time to take care of Ye Ji and her two.Ye Lanyi immediately let go of Ye Ji, so that she could try her best to protect herself from getting hurt.Ye Ji swung a knife to force back the person who wanted to rush up, and supported Ye Lanyi to stand up for the time being. Seeing the situation on Li Xunchuan's side, she felt that nothing was wrong, so she thought about taking a few steps back.

Ye Lanyi struggled to raise her arm and pushed Ye Ji, a long sword brushed her neck and she was within a hair's breadth of Ye Ji.Ye Ji turned around and pulled Ye Lanyi away, not letting the blood splash on her body. Ye Lanyi looked deeply at Ye Ji, there were many things she wanted to say but it was not appropriate, all she could do was protect her.

"Ye Ji..." Ye Lanyi called softly in her ear, Ye Ji frowned slightly, when she turned around, Ye Lanyi smiled at her, and fell into her arms the next moment .

"Sister..." Ye Ji knelt on the ground with her, and Wan Ze went all the way to Ye Ji's side. After seeing the scene, he couldn't bear to look again and turned around.

Ye Ji supported her back, and it was sticky. She didn't even know when the wound was there, but it must be to protect her.Ye Lanyi raised her hand and touched Ye Ji's cheek, wiping away the wetness. She was obviously in pain, but looking at Ye Ji, she felt that she was in more pain.

"Don't cry..." Ye Lanyi couldn't make any sound now, she was mouthing, but Ye Ji kept shaking her head while holding her hand.

"I'm here to take you home..." Ye Ji tremblingly said, "Sister, father is still waiting for you to go back, please hold on..."

Ye Lanyi pulled the corners of her lips and smiled palely: "I already knew that I couldn't go back... Xia Qiong and Boye I have already tried to send them out of the palace, you must protect them well, you know..."

Ye Ji wanted to carry her on her back, but Ye Lanyi didn't have any desire to leave.Ye Ji made up her mind and said, "You protect your child yourself, don't count on me, Jun'an hasn't come back yet, you can't do this..."

"Fool..." Ye Lanyi stroked the armor on her shoulders, held Ye Ji in her arms, and said softly: "Ye Ji, sister thinks this life is enough, remember what sister said, live well, and protect Xi Qi and Boye..."

Ye Ji buried her face in Ye Lanyi's neck and did not answer for a long time.enough for what?Just for the emperor, to give him a child, and for Xiqi not to be under supervision like Yi Dong?Now this life is still taken, this life was obviously given by Ye Wei, it belongs to Xi Qi, how can it be wasted here.

"Sister..." Ye Ji closed her eyes and said softly, "Is it worth it?"

Ye Lanyi didn't answer any more.

Ye Ji gripped Ye Lanyi's clothes tightly, feeling the cold seep into her bone marrow, but it was so hot that she almost melted.The voice in her ear was getting farther and farther away, Ye Ji couldn't even hear what Li Xunchuan shouted at her clearly, she just stared at the people coming and going, but she couldn't feel the blood surging here anymore, it was all dead silence.

"You said you don't regret it," Ye Ji said with tears in the corners of her eyes, "I don't believe it, you will definitely regret it!"

Li Xunchuan let go of Wen Rongxi, and Yan Chengxuan rushed to Li Xunchuan with a few people. Yan Chengxuan pulled Wen Rongxi's long sleeves, and when he stepped back, he found that Ye Ji had arrived at Yan Qingyao's side at some point, and Yan Qingyao was knocked unconscious with a hand knife.

"Let go of my elder sister!" Yan Chengxuan shouted sharply.

Ye Ji looked down at Yan Qingyao, and she smiled coldly: "Don't even think about it!"

Yan Chengxuan let go of Wen Rongxi's hand, raised the sword in his hand and slashed at Ye Ji.Wen Rongxi pulled Yan Chengxuan's arm, turned his head to look at Li Yuchuan: "Go!"

"Yan Shu!" Yan Chengxuan tried his best to break his hand away without daring to hurt him, Li Yuchuan picked up the bow and arrows at his feet, opened the three arrows with both arms and rushed straight to Yan Chengxuan.

Wen Rongxi's pupils shrank suddenly, she looked at Li Xunchuan pleadingly, and shook her head slightly.

Li Xunchuan clenched his lower lip, and the arrow slightly deviated slightly. He raised his eyes and looked at the three big characters "Pilgrimage Temple", feeling ridiculous and ironic.It was obviously the most desirable sacred place in the world, but now it was covered in blood beyond recognition, making it the filthiest place.

"Canary for seven years, return the title of King Hou En!"

Li Xunchuan let go of the arrow feathers, and suddenly there was a sound of breaking wind, one arrow brushed Yan Chengxuan's hair crown, and the other nailed heavily on the palace door, piercing through the red nanmu door frame.

Yan Chengxuan hurriedly grabbed Wen Rongxi's arm, and the last arrow pierced Wen Rongxi's shoulder.

At this moment, Li Yuchuan was no longer the governor of the imperial army, but a beast covered in frost.He doesn't need to worry about these things anymore, he just needs to head north, toward his hometown.

Li Xunchuan pushed the battlefield outside the palace gate, and Tian Wuruo and Fu Sisi teamed up with the imperial army to open the city gate.Ye Ji carried Yan Qingyao on the horse's back, and rushed out with Li Xunchuan.

"Master!" Wu Song returned the bamboo and stone to Li Yanchuan, but Li Yanchuan didn't let him get off his horse, but rolled over behind him and walked out together.

Xiong Zhenghao brought the forbidden army from Lianyue School to the gate of the city. Like a lurking cheetah, he walked through the streets and alleys, overcame all obstacles, joined Li Yanchuan, and walked out all the way, isolating the howling in Gaodu city. In the sleepiness of night.

"Ye Ji, go back to Xiqi." Li Yanchuan looked deeply at Ye Ji.

Ye Ji looked down at Yan Qingyao in her arms, frowned and said, "But Xia Qiong and Boye..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a few people walking in front of him.

"Master Wu?" Li Yanchuan frowned and looked at Wu Lianyi, he didn't expect him to appear here.

Wu Lianyi leaned slightly and said, "Master Hou."

Ye Ji saw Xia Qiong at a glance, she was still holding a baby in her arms, and a woman was following behind her.She couldn't help frowning slightly.

Wu Lianyi raised his eyes to look at Li Yuchuan, and said, "Master Hou, Empress Lanbi ordered that these three people be handed over to General Ye Ji."

Li Xunchuan looked back at Ye Ji, and seeing that she had no intention of refusing, he turned around and said, "Thank you. But the city is in chaos now, what is Master Wu's plan?"

Wu Lianyi shook his head lightly, and said: "Master Hou, don't worry, Wu Xiuting won't do anything to me with Rouge here. I'm just lifting a finger. I hope Lord Hou and General Ye Ji will take care of themselves. The future will be long, and we will definitely meet again."

"Is Rouge okay?"

Wu Lianyi nodded slightly: "Time is running out, Master Hou and the general should leave quickly, and when they react, I'm afraid they won't be able to leave even if they want to."

Li Xunchuan said softly, "Thank you."

Wan Ze made arrangements for Xia Qiong and Dong Zhu, and Li Yanchuan asked Wu Song to hug Chu Yun. They hurriedly said goodbye to Wu Lianyi, and rushed out of Gaodu. Together with Jiang Rulan and others, they soon arrived outside Tianzhou.

***
After that night, the rain that had just passed returned, washing away the gloom in the dark night, and washing away the blood color little by little, but it was turbid and unsightly.After the death of Emperor Chongwen, Yu Linwei was completely taken over by Yan Chengxuan. Neither the Six Great Cities nor Yan Chengxuan lost. They even drove out those who wanted to drive out of Gaodu completely. This is an achievement.

Yan Chengxuan was not very depressed, the reason for his frowning was probably because of the person on the couch who almost took his life because of Li Yanchuan.

Wen Rongxi sank deeply into the quilt, and Yan Chengxuan couldn't bear to touch his bloodless cheeks, so he could only cover the corners of the quilt for him, but he didn't dare to use force for fear of touching his wound.

Ye Ji was really merciful, Wu Xiuting's legs were not crippled, and now he was lying on the couch just waiting to recuperate, Wu Lianyi and Yan Zhi would come to see him from time to time, and these days there was a different kind of warmth.

Emperor Chongwen collapsed, Concubine Lan died, the prince disappeared, and the royal family had no more successors.All of a sudden, the courtiers shouted that they wanted to establish a new emperor. Some people went over Yan Chengxuan to find Yan Yingzhen and Xu Zheng, and asked them to recommend candidates.

But the situation of Yan Yingzhen and Xu Zheng is not very good.When Xu Zheng heard the news of Emperor Chongwen's death, there was only endless sadness in his eyes, and he couldn't get up from this illness.

Yan Yingzhen got some room to breathe for the time being, but she didn't want to see Yan Chengxuan again, and stayed in front of Xu Zheng every day, seeing his gray complexion, and sighed deeply.

There were some important ministers in front of Emperor Chongwen's coffin, Xu Zheng couldn't bear to look at it, he just hid behind the plain and wept mournfully, passed out several times, the imperial physician found some ways to hang his life, so that he still had the energy to last for a few more days.

Yan Yingzhen was sitting beside his couch, with dimples on his face. He also seemed to have gray hair overnight, and he was unremarkably old. Looking at Xu Zheng's deep eyes, he couldn't help but sighed.

"If I had known this before, so many things shouldn't have happened..." Yan Yingzhen's eyes drifted away, and his eyes were filled with grief, and he said: "The prince is gone, so what about Dayu Jiangshan?"

Xu Zheng's tears were still running down, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Yan Chengxuan... is not made to be an emperor, he is not!"

Yan Yingzhen never thought of making Yan Chengxuan emperor.He looked at Xu Zheng and shook his head, and said, "We can think of another way out, don't they want a new emperor, we'll find someone!"

"Nonsense!" Xu Zheng half propped himself up, choking his breath in his throat for a while, unable to catch his breath, he said, "How can the royal blood be so careless?"

"Then do you have another way?" Yan Yingzhen supported Xu Zheng's arm and said, "The prince's whereabouts are unknown, where do you go to find them? If you find them, you're still a babbler, how can you lead the Dayu country?"

Xu Zheng couldn't restrain his emotions when he read this, he burst into tears immediately, and said in a hoarse voice: "I wanted to see Dayu become unprecedented in the hands of Emperor Chongwen, but I can't let myself decide in this troubled world... I have thought so much and done it." After doing so much, why can’t we get what we want? In the end, we can only watch these people rebel and die in this troubled world... Heaven doesn’t follow people’s wishes..."

Yan Yingzhen watched him lying on his back crying, but couldn't help but shed tears.He didn't answer, because these were all on his mind, and he couldn't think of any way to solve this matter at this moment.

The internal turmoil in Gaodu has reached this level, after the news is spread, it will only cause turmoil in the whole Dayu, if no one stabilizes the world, I am afraid that Dayu will really fall into the hands of others.

How should these people who have worked so hard to manage their lives deal with themselves.Their efforts are just like the blood washed away by the heavy rain, which will disappear without a trace, and if it flows into the dirt or the deep sea, it is not worth mentioning.

But the history books will only use the word regret to modify their achievements.This is irony, but also contempt.

Xu Zheng never thought that he would reach this point, and neither did Yan Yingzhen.Now they are like eagles who lost their direction and broke their wings. They can only pass through the light clouds, watching themselves fall into the abyss helplessly, but there is no way to change it.

Nine out of ten things that are powerless in the world are all a big joke made by fate.

He Xiyao and Wang Jitong sent someone to pass the book in, and now they were led into Xu Zheng's room.As soon as you enter, there is a particularly strong smell of medicine, which makes people feel nauseous.

The guard saluted Yan Yingzhen, saying that it was He Xiyao and Wang Ji who asked to see each other.

Xu Zheng wiped away his tears, and fell back on the pillow in a state of exhaustion. He took short breaths for a while, then raised his hand and said softly, "Go ahead."

Yan Yingzhen looked at him and nodded, and said, "You have a good rest, I'll go back as soon as I go."

He Xiyao and Wang Jitong seldom showed up from the beginning. They disdain to participate in the struggle, and they don't want to get anything that doesn't belong to them.It's over now, and it's time to do something to make up for it.

Yan Yingzhen didn't use tea, but just moistened her throat with warm water, looked at the two people's faltering appearances, and said, "If you two came here for the heir, then go back first."

He Xiyao glanced at Wang Jitong and said, "Master Zuo, we didn't come here for the heir of the emperor, but we just want to ask Prime Minister Zuo about something."

Yan Yingzhen nodded: "Say."

He Xiyao coughed lightly, but Wang Jitong pretended he didn't hear it, and still wanted He Xiyao to speak.The other party glared at him, and could only lower his voice, and said, "Actually...we heard something, saying that Zhuo Siye is not dead, and she is still the former princess..."

Yan Yingzhen frowned slightly: "Who said that?"

"Uh..." He Xiyao knew that there would be no good end for saying this, so he said, "It's just a rumor..."

"Do you dare to spread rumors?" Yan Yingzhen said sharply.

He Xiyao almost knelt down, Wang Jitong saw that he didn't dare to speak anymore, so he had to answer softly: "Master Zuo, now that the royal family has no more blood, if we don't find someone who can lead the overall situation, this Dayu will really mess up. "

"So you mean..."

"Since this Zhuo Siye is not dead, if you find him there, he is the former princess anyway, so it doesn't hurt to be the heir."

Yan Yingzhen looked at He Xiyao.

"Empress..." He Xiyao gritted his teeth, and said, "There is nothing wrong with an empress, I feel that as long as you have the ability to sit firmly in the world, it doesn't matter whether you are male or female."

Yan Yingzhen shook her head and said, "Impossible. There has never been such a saying as a female emperor... Besides, Zhuo Ran is dead, and everyone in the world knows about it. If you want them to enshrine a dead man as emperor, how can people in the world be convinced?"

"The princess of the previous dynasty had a name..." Wang Jitong looked at Yan Yingzhen and said, "It's called Nanxiang. As long as you find Zhuo Siye, let her be the emperor..."

"Does Zhuo Ran agree?" Yan Yingzhen frowned and said, "Your rumors also harmed her at the time. Do you think she will obediently come back and become emperor? Zhuo Ran is not a fool!"

He Xiyao frowned slightly: "Actually, we still have other ideas..."

Yan Yingzhen looked at him.

"The relationship between Zhuo Siye and the governor is also rumored. If Zhuo Siye becomes the emperor, then Bei Liding will be the first to bow his head and proclaim himself a minister. Dayu Jiangshan will definitely be able to protect it..."

Yan Yingzhen's thoughts had drifted away.

Empress?After all, it is unrealistic.He didn't see any evidence, so he definitely wouldn't believe that Zhuo Ran was the former princess.Right now, anyone is much more reliable than Zhuo Ran, this matter needs a long-term plan, he really wants to see if Zhuo Ran is Nan Xiang.

But the most important thing now is to find someone who can replace Chu Shiyu, so as to stop Yoyo's mouth.
