Chapter 864 The Cause
881
As soon as Deng Changrui ordered someone to cut off contact with his other courtyard, he received the news that the other courtyard was also copied, and an inscrutable smile appeared on his lips: "Very good!"

Facing the smile on Deng Changrui's lips, the heart of the new staff next to him jumped for some reason, feeling like death was getting closer.

It was on this day that the inn where Deng Changrui stayed was surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers, but when they rushed into the inn, Deng Changrui was nowhere to be seen.

At this time, a group of hurried people appeared on a small road from Huaizhu City to Bingfeng City, and they were riding their horses towards Bingfeng City.

abruptly—

"Appreciate~"

The head man in black's eyes darkened, he reined in his horse abruptly, looked around with his dark eyes, then got off his horse and ran back.

"Master!" The man in black saluted Deng Changrui with his hands clasped.

Deng Changrui's eagle eyes were also staring at the road ahead, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said lightly: "Let's go."

Deng Changrui's voice was very soft, but with an imposing manner that could not be refuted.

The leading man in black gave a slight pause: "Yes!"

However, the group of people had just walked forward for less than a few tens of meters, but they saw that the way ahead was blocked by someone.

Deng Changrui reined in his horse calmly and walked slowly in front of the group of people, looking at Duan Yixu who was standing in the middle of the road a few meters away.

A relaxed smile appeared on Deng Changrui's lips: "We finally meet!"

Duan Yixu's deep eyes were bottomless, he met Deng Changrui's gaze, and said calmly: "You should have expected such a day!"

"Indeed!" Deng Changrui smiled approvingly: "When this king ordered the blood of the **** to be bled, we were doomed to be immortal!"

A flash of hostility flashed in Duan Yixu's eyes, his hand holding the soft sword tightened, and then he thought of Beibei's instructions before leaving, and his tense body relaxed again in the blink of an eye.

Duan Yixu stared at Deng Changrui for a long time, and then pulled out a mocking smile: "Prince Duan has always been far-sighted, so he must have guessed his end, right?"

Deng Changrui nodded, and said to Duan Yixu in a tone like chatting with an old friend: "Think about it! Everything is developing according to the road laid down by me, but there is only one thing I missed!"

Deng Changrui knew that Duan Yixu suffered from mania after Deng Wenyan's death, and he would fall ill when he was stimulated, but he hadn't heard of him falling ill again in the past few years, and he didn't know whether he was cured or he hadn't been stimulated these years, so he deliberately said something Excited him, but he didn't expect him to be indifferent.

Seeing that Duan Yixu didn't answer his words, Deng Changrui didn't care, and said to himself: "This king has neglected Mr. Bai. This king never thought that a woman from Mrs. Bai could do so much for you!"

It was only later that Deng Changrui found out that Duan Yixu nearly died for defending Qiao Xiong from an arrow, and it was Beibei who rescued him later. This time Duan Yixu broke into the miasma forest, and Beibei led people to the miasma forest himself.

Deng Changrui's eyes flashed with regret when he thought of the burned food and grass, which Beibei could use as waste and let the army eat to his heart's content, and at the same time allow the army to open up wasteland and farm.

If this woman could be used by him, he believed that today might be another situation.

Hearing Deng Changrui mention Beibei, Duan Yixu narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Deng Changrui coldly.

Sensing the evil spirit emanating from Duan Yixu, Deng Changrui's eyes flashed, and he said, all people have weaknesses, and Mrs. Bo and his two children are his weaknesses!

Seeing that Duan Yixu didn't say a word, Deng Changrui smiled lightly, with a slightly relaxed voice: "Nephew Xu'er, do we have to talk like this?"

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Duan Yixu's eyes, and he scolded: "Deng Changrui, this commander's mother is just a commoner, don't mess with me!"

Deng Changrui raised his voice and smiled: "Nephew Xu'er, don't tell me that you really don't know your own life experience?"

At the beginning, there were many princes under the emperor's knees, but there was only one princess, and that was Duan Yixu's mother, Deng Wenyan, and Deng Wenyan's mother was a queen of Yiguo, so Deng Wenyan was naturally favored by the late emperor.

It's just that Deng Wenyan failed to live up to the late emperor's love. When she went out of the palace with the queen to worship the Buddha in the temple, she fell in love with Duan Xin, who was the head of the guard at the time, and finally disobeyed the late emperor and queen, forcing her to marry Duan. new.

Seeing that the daughter whom he had grown up in the palm of his hand forced him to die because of a man, the first emperor ordered Duan Xin to be executed in anger, but Deng Wenyan slammed his head on the stone pillar in the palace after learning about it. Deng Wenyan's personal maid saw that the situation was not right and pulled her in time, so that Deng Wenyan would not be killed on the spot.

The first empress had no children, only a daughter like Deng Wenyan, even though she disobeyed her, she couldn't bear to watch her daughter die in the bottom of her heart, and finally begged the first emperor to be kind to Deng Wenyan and Duan Xin.

After Deng Wenyan's torment, the first emperor also turned cold towards her, and finally agreed to expel Deng Wenyan and Duan Xin from the palace under the begging of the late empress.

If this matter ends here, there is nothing wrong with Deng Changrui, but the first queen is Deng Wenyan, a daughter, how could she have the heart to let her suffer, so she let someone take care of her secretly.

That is to say, during this period, the first emperor's health deteriorated day by day, seeing that the first emperor was dying but did not establish a crown prince, and there were various open and secret fights among the emperors.

And Deng Wenyan, who was far outside the palace, naturally knew about the situation in the palace because of her connection with the former empress. She once inadvertently mentioned in a communication that the current emperor, that is, the third prince at that time, was a man with both ability and political integrity.

After observing and probing for a period of time, the first empress also felt that the third prince was a man of foresight and generosity, and from time to time spoke well of the third prince in front of the first emperor, and the late emperor's thoughts gradually focused on the third prince.

At that time, Deng Changrui was originally the best candidate for the crown prince. Who would have thought that such a strong opponent would appear. At this time, the Morku country invaded with troops, and all the princes wanted to take advantage of the situation, and the eldest prince Even forced the palace against the former emperor.

At that time, Deng Changrui was still immature, and the third prince had already sat on the throne before he had time to make a move. Although he was unwilling, he did not dare to show it, because before he had time to make a move, the other princes were dealt with vigorously by the third prince, so instead escaped.

Because of this, he put this account on Deng Wenyan's head.

How could Duan Yixu not know what Deng Changrui was referring to, but in his opinion, apart from the blood and kinship of the royal family, he has never regarded himself as a relative of the royal family, and he is even more unwilling to have anything to do with them.

"Where am I from?" Duan Yixu looked at Deng Changrui expressionlessly: "I am a descendant of the Duan family in Huaizhu City!"

"But you are bleeding with the surname Deng!" Deng Changrui reminded leisurely.
