"who are you?"

Zhu Youzhen stood up in panic and looked at the man who appeared in front of him with unpredictable means.

"Me?"

"Li Xingyu, just one year ago, I killed your elder brother Zhu Yougui!"

Meng Fan looked at Zhu Youzhen calmly, composed and self-assured, as if he ignored the army around him.

"Hahaha, good good!"

Zhu Youzhen clapped his hands and laughed, "One by one, now they are all delivered to my door!"

"You...are here to rescue them?"

Meng Fan shook his head and said, "No, I'm not interested in getting involved in Li Xingyun's affairs. You can kill him or chop him up as you please. I'm only here for him!"

Meng Fan just pointed at Zhang Zifan.

This made everyone very surprised.

"I?!"

Zhang Zifan was also curious about when he had come into contact with Li Xingyu.
"Interesting, really interesting!"

Zhu Youzhen tossed the dice in his hand and said, "You are so indifferent, as if you really want to kill Li Xingyun. Brothers are killing each other. I didn't expect that the blood in your Li family is also cold."

Meng Fan ignored Zhu Youzhen and looked at Lu Linxuan and said, "Miss Lu, you just said that Zhu Youzhen set up a dead end. Let me correct you."

“There is no absolute dead end in the world. When you are in despair, there will always be a glimmer of hope.”

Zhu Youzhen lazily lay back in front of the dragon couch, playing with the dice in his hand, and said sarcastically: "Um, Li Xingyu, right? You're not going to say that the ray of hope is you, right?"

"Don't forget, this is my military camp!"

Meng Fan glanced at the soldiers surrounding him and said with disdain, "Your confidence is not from these minions, right?"

"Or are you talking about Yang Yan, Yang Miao, and Zhong Xiaokui who are by your side? They are just three people at the middle level. Don't forget that your eldest brother Zhu Yougui, whose power has reached the great level, was killed by me!"

Meng Fan's words actually reminded Zhu Youzhen that it seemed that he did not have the combat power to contain the opponent!
For a moment, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but panic.

"Yang Yan, Yang Miao, Xiao Kui, and all of you, come on!"

"Ah!"

A sneer appeared on Meng Fan's lips, and his aura suddenly burst out.

I saw an incomparably huge black and white Kunpeng virtual image hovering above everyone's heads, with its wings spread out, evolving into the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, and then every feather and scale burst out with endless suction.

The thousands of soldiers that surrounded them began to emit wisps of blood and smoke-like energy, which flew upwards and finally turned into a red and white blood ball in the mouth of Kunpeng, which had a wingspan of hundreds of meters.

The soldiers turned into mummies and fell to the ground. Only four people, Zhu Youzhen, Yang Yan, Yang Miao and Zhong Xiaokui, survived.

At this time, Meng Fan also rescued Zhang Zifan.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the corpses, and then at Meng Fan's devilish figure. He was so frightened that he lost his mind and pointed at Meng Fan tremblingly: "You...you are not a human!"

Meng Fan stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Zhu Youzhen and the dragon throne behind him with a playful look on his face.

"One general's success is built on the bones of thousands of men, and the throne is stained with blood."

"Zhu Yougui, I wonder if you will have nightmares in the middle of the night when you sit on this throne next time?"

"What do you mean?"

"What do you want to do?"

Meng Fan just waved his hand lightly, and the huge blood ball held in the mouth of Kunpeng virtual image was thrown down towards Zhu Youzhen's head and hit him on the head.

In an instant, the blood of thousands of people dyed the place where Zhu Youzhen was red, and even Yang Yan, Yang Miao and others were implicated and were covered in blood.

"Let's go!"

Meng Fan glanced at Lu Linxuan and the others, motioning them to follow. Just like that, no one in the Daliang military camp dared to stop them, and they walked out of the camp in a carefree manner.

As for why Meng Fan didn't kill Zhu Youzhen, Yuan Tiangang had worked so hard to set up the plan for Li Xingyun's growth, so how could Meng Fan disrupt it?

What's more, what benefit would killing Zhu Youzhen bring to Meng Fan?
It would only benefit Li Cunxu for nothing, thereby boosting the strength of the State of Jin. Meng Fan didn't want to be the knife that was used to kill someone.

And in place.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Zhu Youzhen's whole body was red, and bright red blood was flowing on his dragon robe, leaving drops of blood, as if he had walked out of the blood.

His face was filled with fear. After a long while, he regained his composure. Looking at the piles of dried corpses and dead bodies on the ground, he shouted, "Chase them!"

I saw many soldiers looking at each other, and no one dared to go.

How can mortals fight against gods and demons?
"You're not listening anymore, are you?"

Zhu Youzhen's eyes became fierce and cold. He pulled out a long knife from a nearby soldier's hand, stabbed it directly into the man's stomach, and then twisted it violently.

"Your Majesty, please calm down, please calm down!"

"Let's go! Let's go!"

After saying that, he ran out in a panic.

I really have to chase him out. There are fierce tigers in front and hungry wolves behind. I am scared all day long and I might die any day.

It is true: I would rather be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times.

In troubled times, human life is worthless, and this is not just talk.

After leaving the military camp.

Somewhere in the suburbs, Meng Fan finally saw the real Li Xingyun.

Ji Ruxue also looked at the "Li Xingyun" in her hand, and then she understood: "Fake?"

"Bai made me worry for so long!"

After saying that, she grabbed Li Xingyun's ear. Li Xingyun looked like a henpecked husband, which made Meng Fan frown.

"Xue'er, Xue'er, please be gentler. We are in front of my brother after all, please give me some face!" Li Xingyun begged for mercy.

"Humph!"

Ji Ruxue let go of Li Xingyun's ear, glanced at Meng Fan, and said coldly: "You treat me as your younger brother, but I don't treat you as my older brother!"

It was obvious that she was angry that Meng Fan didn't care about Li Xingyun's affairs. In short, she didn't have a very good feeling towards Meng Fan.

Li Xingyun rubbed his ears and gave Meng Fan an apologetic smile, but he didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.

Meng Fan smiled slightly, not caring, and said: "Li Xingyun, since you have chosen to come out, you will inevitably be involved in the disputes in this world again."

"Just like Yuan Tiangang said, you can't escape your fate!"

Li Xingyun said aggrievedly: "I just want to be a free and easy person, what's wrong with that?"

Meng Fan looked up at the stars with a complicated look in his eyes. "You are not wrong, and neither is Yuan Tiangang. What is wrong is this world and your identity."

"If it was a peaceful and prosperous time, and you had this ambition, at best you would be an idle prince, and at best you could be a king who maintained the status quo."

"But now is a time of chaos!"

"You want to stay out of this, but will your blood agree to that? Will those ambitious princes agree to that?"

"To be honest, I don't have a good impression of you. You should do your job and fulfill your responsibilities. Since you have the blood of Li Tang, you should take on the responsibilities that you should bear."

"Otherwise, Yuan Tiangang wouldn't have..."

Meng Fan sighed, looking at Li Xingyun who looked like he hadn't listened, and felt tired: "Forget it, I won't say it anymore. By the time you really realize something, it will be too late!"

After saying that, Meng Fan turned around, mounted his horse, and left with a group of Xuanjia soldiers. But then a voice came out: "Li Xingyun, I hope you take care of yourself!"

After Meng Fan left, because Zhang Zifan's injuries needed immediate treatment, Li Xingyun and others went to Luzhou City nearby.

-----

"Your Highness, are we really leaving like this?" Dian Wei asked curiously while riding on his horse.

"No, let's find a place to set up camp."

"Do you think Zhu Youzhen will be furious after what happened tonight? What will he do next?" Meng Fan asked in a considering tone.

"Hey, I don't know!"

Dian Wei gave a silly smile.

"Just wait, this Luzhou City won't exist for much longer!"

After saying that, he took the lead and rushed to the front of the team.

At this time, Li Yuanba rode up on horseback, looked at Dian Wei's thoughtful expression, and couldn't help asking, "What did my... my second brother say to you just now?"

Dian Wei said in a muffled voice: "You won't understand even if I tell you. His Highness said that Luzhou City is about to be lost!"

Li Yuanba scratched his head and couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "Why?"

Dian Wei said proudly: "You can go if you want. I can't figure it out anyway."

Li Yuanba sneered: "Hey, so you... you don't understand it either!"

"I'm smarter than you anyway!"

Listening to the argument between the two, Meng Fan couldn't help but hold his forehead. The big fool laughs at the second fool, and the pot calling the kettle black. Now Meng Fan wants to ask himself, was he crazy to choose to bring these two people out?
The next night.

Zhu Youzhen intercepted the letter that Ji Ruxue sent to the empress during the day, and thus learned that Li Xingyun was in Luzhou, so he launched an attack on Luzhou City.

With the help of the so-called invincible general cannon, the city of Luzhou was easily blasted open. The relatively prosperous city of Luzhou was reduced to ashes overnight.

Li Cunxu had already returned to Jin to seek reinforcements several days ago. In other words, Luzhou is now guarded by only ordinary generals, who are unable to resist Zhu Youzhen's army.

Zhu Youzhen became extremely furious because of the terrible treatment Meng Fan gave him the night before. After his subordinates found out that Meng Fan had separated from Li Xingyun and his gang, he lost all scruples.

Notices were posted everywhere in Luzhou City, demanding that Li Xingyun appear before him immediately, otherwise he would attack the innocent people and massacre the entire city.

Meng Fan also learned the news through a scout from the army.

"Damn it, this guy named Zhu Youzhen is really not a good guy. He even ordered a massacre in the city." Dian Wei said angrily.

Meng Fan sat in the makeshift tent and leisurely poured himself a bowl of tea, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Your Highness, how can you sit still?"

Meng Fan smiled and asked, "E Lai, whose territory is Luzhou City?"

"Of course it's from Jin State..."

"Oh, I understand. In this case, the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is. Bah, Your Highness, you are not a eunuch." Dian Wei slapped himself in the face.

Meng Fan took a sip of tea and then said, "With Li Xingyun's compassionate nature, if nothing unexpected happens, he will fall into the trap."

"Come on, go watch a play with me!"

-----

It was just as Meng Fan expected.

On the ruins of Luzhou City, Zhu Youzhen stood with his troops. This time, he was no longer sitting on the dragon throne but on a bed. More than ten thousand remaining civilians were imprisoned by him, and Li Xingyun just stood in front of Zhu Youzhen.

"Li Xingyun, you are really capable. I didn't expect you to dare to come!"

"I say, Li Xingyun, are you here to surrender?" Zhu Youzhen said with gritted teeth and a resentful tone.

If it weren’t for this Li family member, how could he have suffered such a great humiliation yesterday?
That’s right, Zhu Youzhen now imposed all his anger towards Meng Fan on Li Xingyun.

Li Xingyun looked ashen as he said, "I will surrender. I hope you will keep your word and release these people."

"Alas, I love my people like my own children, how could I massacre my own people?"

"Come on, come on, kneel down for me first!"

"Kneel down~"

Zhu Youzhen shouted twice, but Li Xingyun remained unmoved. He immediately became furious and said, "I told you to kneel down!!!"

Li Xingyun looked at the people around him and finally chose to kneel down in humiliation, while Meng Fan, who was far away on a high place, watched all this coldly.

"Your Highness, should we take action..."

Meng Fan waved his hand, signaling Dian Wei not to say anything more.

"Since this is the path he has chosen, he has to endure it. Since ancient times, the emperor has always been a man with strong soldiers and horses. Since he wants to live a carefree life, he should know what it feels like to have no soldiers and no power."

"Son of Heaven, huh!"

Meng Fan laughed at himself: "I can be strong and decisive, but I can also be a plaything in the hands of some people!"

"Just like Li Xingyun now!"

"He didn't want to care about the humiliation of losing his country, but his sixteen brothers had already sacrificed their lives for the country. This belated retribution will eventually fall on him."

"Yuan Tiangang's subtle move was intended to arouse Li Xingyun's ambitions through this humiliation. Unfortunately, he was wrong!"

"Li Xingyun is probably only thinking about his love for his wife. He is probably still wondering if Ji Ruxue's letter caused the murder in Luzhou City."

"Oh, how ridiculous is that?"

"It's a military matter. Two countries are at war. Would Zhu Youzhen launch an attack last night just because Li Xingyun was in Luzhou yesterday?"

"Luzhou was originally within Zhu Youzhen's range of conquest. He has been unable to capture it for a long time. He wants to stabilize the morale of his troops. In addition, a new king has ascended the throne, and he urgently needs a big victory to prove his ability. He will certainly use the artillery fire. It is only a matter of time before the city falls."

"It's ridiculous that Li Xingyun can't see through these things at all. He naively thinks that his appearance will make Zhu Youzhen let those people go."

Under Meng Fan's cold gaze, Li Xingyun was put into a cell and shackled.

"Zhu Youzhen, let him go!"

Li Xingyun stared at Zhu Youzhen and said.

At this time, Wang Yanzhang came with a spear and reported: "Your Majesty, the scouts reported that Li Cunxu has returned with a large army. I request Your Majesty to issue an order to repel the enemy!"

"Humph, I won't fight him. Li Xingyun has already fallen into my hands, and Luzhou City is in ruins. I'll just throw this useless thing to Li Cunxu!"

"I won this battle!"

"Send an order, go home!"

Zhu Youzhen looked complacent, as if he had returned to the state he was in yesterday when everything was under control. Not only did he get Li Xingyun, he also got a large amount of money and grain from Luzhou City. It can be seen that he was in a good mood.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if the people of Luzhou City...?"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hands and said, "It's useless to keep him. Kill him!"

"Zhu Youzhen, you!"

Li Xingyun's face was extremely angry.

Zhu Youzhen said, "I am not a person who goes back on his word. I have made it clear just now that I will not massacre my own people. But Li Cunxu has come back to kill me. I am going to flee!"

"If I leave, won't these people become citizens of Jin State instead of my subjects?"

"Stupid~"

"Hahaha!"
