The prince of the highest poison, you must serve

Chapter 263 Beacon Smokes Up, He Loves You

Nearly [-] soldiers on the border of the Southern Qi were poisoned by food, and just at this moment, troops with Beirong accent gathered together to attack and set fire to the food and grass of the soldiers of the Southern Qi.

As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked.

The people were panicked, shocked, and sighed.

At the same time, the Southern Emperor urgently ordered to erect defenses while mobilizing troops to condemn the generals, ordering Shen Yuan to rush to the border.

Gold and iron horses, peaks and smoke are everywhere, and a high line of defense has also been erected on the border of Beirong.

War is imminent.

However, before Beirong attacked, the Southern Qi soldiers who had been bruised suddenly rose up to fight back, and turned against Baochao directly, unexpectedly burning Beirong's food and grass.

The fire broke out and burned half the sky.

In this round, Nan Qi won.

Moreover, soldiers are bloodless.

……

Beirong.

Council Hall.

"Damn."

Angrily, the Northern Emperor threw away the memorial in his hand, and slammed it heavily on the brightly lit floor, looking around, "You can bear this kind of dumbness, and you are ashamed to play it."

"The emperor appeases his anger. I really never thought that Nan Qi would come up with such a cruel trick."

The Minister of the Ministry of War came out.

Lord Shangshu who lost both his son and his daughter seemed to have aged ten years overnight, but the hatred in his eyes was strong and he did not hide it.

"Then you want me to sit and wait for death?"

The emperor was furious, and no longer looked at the Minister of War, but looked at General Xie, "General Xie, the whereabouts of Mr. Qi is unknown, and I have ordered Yu Qingyi, who has not yet arrived in Beijing, to go back halfway to the border of Beirong Besides, what other suggestions do you have?"

General Xie came out, lowered his eyebrows, and said with great humility, "Go back to the emperor, I am willing to lead troops to defend the prestige of our Beirong country to the death."

"At the end of the day, we still have to fight. Although we are arranging defenses and mobilizing our troops in a timely manner, the people in the world don't know that we have taken the tricks of the Southern Qi Dynasty. The people's hearts have been lost. In addition, food and grass have been burned, and we are at a disadvantage everywhere. , the soldier's mind is somewhat confused."

An adult came forward to advise.

"Then should I wait for Nan Qi to attack?"

The emperor was furious, and the entire meeting hall was instantly silent.

Nan Qi was caught off guard and aggressive this time, and with the internal grievances with Princess Nan Qi, it was hard for anyone to say anything.

"Your Majesty, we can win over Xixia..."

After a while, in the hall, a young man in court uniform at the end of the Baiguan came out.

That was Qin Xun. For so many days, he had already assumed an unimportant but not to be underestimated position in the court.

After Wang Renyi's death, and after Qi Rufeng's whereabouts went missing, the emperor put a lot of emphasis on him.

At this time, when Qin Xun said a word, the emperor's sharp gaze fell on him, "Xixia?"

"Returning to the emperor, it is precisely that Xixia has a special geography and is located between Beirong and Nanqi. If we attack Nanqi rashly at this time, Xixia will take the opportunity to help Nanqi... Even if it doesn't help Nanqi, but it will make us stumble a little bit. Instead of waiting for such troubles to happen, it is better for us to act first and convince Xixia that even if Xixia refuses to agree, we can find an opportunity to contain Xixia earlier."

After Qin Xun finished speaking neither humble nor overbearing, he lowered his head.

Above, the emperor's eyes lingered, and he glanced around, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Go back to the emperor."

Lord Zhongyong came out, and Xu Shixun had already returned to the mansion. Since he came back, he was silent and he was still injured, so he thought it must be Xie Lingqin's work, so he said emphatically, "Nan Qi is not to be underestimated." Look, with General Xie leading the army, and Master Qin persuading Xixia just now, I think it is feasible."

"Who to send then?"

"The minister took the initiative to invite Ying."

Zou Xun bowed his hands and saluted.

In the meeting hall, all adults, you look at me, I look at you, no one objected.

"Okay, but I'm worried that you can't do it alone, so I'll send another person to go with you."

Qin Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, and sent someone to go with him?

Could it be...

In the hall, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Obviously, none of them wanted to go, and none of them wanted to socialize with Xi Xia. At this moment, they didn't know who the emperor wanted to let go...

Only Mr. Jing Zhaoyin Huo, who was on the side, looked serious and didn't say much. He just glanced at Qin Xun intermittently and indistinctly, and then withdrew his eyes thoughtfully.

"Fifth prince, Yu Wenshi."

First up, the emperor said loudly.

When one word comes out, everyone is quiet.

It has long been heard that the fifth prince has secretly entered the capital, but he has never shown up, and he has never heard of it from the emperor. Is this the news that the fifth prince is in Beijing?

"The fifth prince's body..."

Han Chen was on the list. After all, none of the courtiers knew about the fact that the fifth prince was weak since he was a child.

"Well, dear friends, don't worry. After so many years of being raised in Fengnuan City, the fifth prince is fully capable of sending a Western Xia envoy."

Since the emperor said so, the officials naturally did not dare to contradict his words.

"Qin Xun, do you have any objections?"

First up, the emperor is asking.

Suddenly, Qin Xun was stared at by the emperor's sharp cold eyes, his heart trembled, but he tried his best to hold back, raised his hands, lowered his head, "I will obey the emperor's arrangements for everything."

"Then it's settled like this, and we will start tomorrow."

"Yes."

"Then retreat."

All the adults walked out of the hall.

It was not until he left the palace that Jing Zhaoyin walked with Qin Xun seemingly unintentionally.

"Lord Qin." A soft call.

"Safe travels."

Lord Huo didn't stop, and before Qin Xun could react, he said this again softly, and walked in front of him.

In the eyes of outsiders, it can only be seen that Mr. Huo is just saying hello, and there is nothing unusual about being close.

Qin Xun felt turbulent in his heart.

"Be careful all the way" is like seeing through something, Mr. Huo...

Suddenly remembered, Master Huo had always admired Xie Lingqin before.

……

But at this moment, the emperor, who had retreated from the court, went straight into the imperial study, and just sat down, and looked at Eunuch Ni, "How is Concubine De?"

"Your Majesty, it's quiet."

"Heh, I knew she was so skinny and charming, back then, I shouldn't have taken advantage of that scholar."

On the face of the emperor, there is both irony and a kind of ruthlessness that plays with people in the palm of his hand.

"Your Majesty, now that scholar is dead, Aunt Nie... oh no, Concubine De, I don't know what happened back then. Your Majesty is completely in your hands."

"Heh, don't underestimate it. After all, didn't the news say that she had contacts with Xie Lingqin?"

"Yes."

The emperor closed his eyes and turned to the memorial on the surface. It was written by the prince about the arrangements for the suffering people in the remote areas, and the attention and investigation on the disappearance of people in the capital and outside the capital in recent days. "

"Snapped--"

The emperor's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly dropped the memorial on the ground, "This prince is really unfilial."

The emperor was angry, and Eunuch Ni hurriedly lowered his head.

"I really think I'm so foolish, I can't tell who is who." The emperor's brows were stern, and he suddenly called to the dark place.

The dark guard of Lei Ting appeared in secret.

"Is it arranged?"

The man said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, it should be almost done."

"Remember, if I want to live, I can be injured or beheaded, but I must save my life."

The person who came was shuddered by the emperor's gloomy tone, nodded immediately and stepped back.

On the side, Eunuch Ni frowned while listening to the conversation between the emperor and the visitor, not daring to make a sound.

……

In the moon palace, the warp yarn is fluttering, and the sleeves are full of dark fragrance.

The woman in gorgeous palace attire is enchantingly dressed, she is charming to the bone, she is born with it, every frown and smile, lips and eyebrows are not acquired.Whenever a man takes a look at it, he should be in ecstasy.

However, when the woman raised her hand up and down, a dagger that sealed her throat with blood and a vial that was poisonous to the touch were put into her belt.

An enchanting beauty, but with a vicious heart.

"Think you can kill the emperor with this?"

Suddenly a person appeared in the quiet hall.

Wearing an apricot-yellow prince's robe, with a jade crown on his head, handsome eyebrows and phoenix eyes, just looking at the gloomy sea, feels cold to the touch.

Concubine De, that is Nie Zui'er, looked at the person and smiled sarcasticly, "Oh, so it's His Royal Highness, it's not too good for someone who didn't inform me or say hello to me, the emperor's concubine."

"You shouldn't be in the palace."

The prince stepped forward with a cold voice.

"Oh! Yes, I shouldn't enter the palace, but shouldn't the crown prince thank me? If I kill the emperor, he will take revenge and the crown prince will be able to ascend to the throne without bearing the infamy of regicide. At that time, looking at the world with disdain, grand plans for dominance, just around the corner, far faster than when you hurt Xie Lingqin back then, wasn't it?"

Every word chuckled, and the voice was sarcastic.

The prince did not speak, but a dark beam of light flowed through his eyes, and his phoenix eyes were like a sea that could not be melted away, "I just came to warn you, you can't kill the emperor, so don't waste your efforts."

"How will I know until I try it, it's like..."

Nie Zui'er suddenly turned cold, and in the next moment, holding the dagger in his hand, he went straight to the prince's chest, "I'll kill you."

He killed in a cold voice, however, the prince obviously had expected it long ago. When he retreated, he raised his leg to block it, and with a thunderous thunder, he knocked the dagger aside with a clear and crisp sound.

"Out of control."

The prince was bloodthirsty in a cold voice, but Nie Zui'er looked at the prince with startled eyes, "No, you are not the prince, you are..." Nie Zui'er said in a heavy voice, "You are the one in the legend, Yu Wenyao's younger brother, Yu Wen'an."

The prince, that is, Yu Wen'an, didn't panic when he was seen, but sneered, "Since I know, shouldn't you be silenced?"

"Where is the real prince?"

Nie Zui'er asked, she had a bad premonition.

"This is not what you should know. I was only entrusted by him to stop you because I didn't want you to die unexpectedly. Otherwise, I don't mind one more corpse in this world."

"The prince won't let me die?"

"Yes, so you'd better calm down." Yu Wen'an approached Nie Zui'er with a cold voice and a sneer in his eyes, "After all, I'm not as kind as Yu Wenyao."

"Mercy? Huh!"

Nie Zui'er raised her lips and sneered when she heard this, "Are you joking with me? Isn't it too insulting to the meaning of the word benevolence? That's right, it's quite kind. In order not to shame the world by saying that he killed his father and seized the throne, so I just want to be the emperor's lackey."

When Yu Wen'an heard this, his face was displeased, and he frowned deeply, "You don't understand."

"Yes, I don't understand how ambitious a man is. He can use people's hearts like this, use a woman who loves him the most, and hurt her like that."

Yu Wen'an's mood was gloomy, and his face was sullen, "You have been in the palace for so many days, don't you know that people are dying in the palace every day, and there are more and more people missing in the capital every day, haven't you heard of it?"

Of course Nie Zui'er knew and heard about it, looked at Yu Wen'an, "What do you want to say?"

"Take you somewhere."

Yu Wen'an took Nie Zui'er out of the palace quietly, and arrived at a back mountain. There was no moon tonight, and the cool wind was blowing, and there was a sound of mourning.

"What is this place?"

"Look here..."

Yu Wen'an pointed to a huge pit ahead.

Nie Zui'er was fully on guard, looking at Yu Wen'an with a vigilant expression, "Could it be that as soon as I walk over, you will stab me in the back."

"If you really fight, you are not my opponent, and besides..."

The corners of Yuwen's lips curled into a sneer, "I can kill you anytime I want, let alone attacking you, a white jade should be enough."

Hearing this, Nie Zui'er's face turned cold, and murderous intent surged all over her body.

"Put away the killing intent on your body. If the emperor is in front of you now, then I congratulate you. He has successfully captured your life gate, so that you can bow your head and surrender in the future."

Hearing these words, Nie Zui'er's heart trembled, and her complexion became even more serious. After a while, "I really hate you for having such a dark and gloomy expression on your face like the prince's."

"I don't live this life to please anyone, of course, except Yu Wenyao."

"Yes……"

Nie Zui'er's voice suddenly stopped, because a gust of wind swept over there, and the smell from that huge pit made her...

Nie Zui'er walked over a few steps, and took a closer look, even this woman who was used to life and death could not help but gag when she saw this scene.

"This……"

"This is our emperor of Beirong."

Yu Wen'an said, the wind passed by, and the cold was so cold.

"So many naked, mutilated corpses..."

Nie Zui'er's face was pale, and suddenly, he looked at Yu Wen'an, "What exactly does the prince want to do? If he really has a benevolent heart, why doesn't he directly publish the evidence of the emperor's crimes, and the emperor can completely abdicate and kill him if he is the target of public criticism. "

"Yeah, why is he!"

Yu Wen'an sighed, and his voice was rare and soft, "You know, once, I really looked down on Xie Lingqin. The heart to kill her is like a midnight dream haunting me. It penetrates into my blood and becomes an obsession. , but now..."

In the winter in Beirong, the wind is really cold. Yu Wen'an looked through the dense trees, looking at the sky like ink that cannot be melted.

Xie Lingqin, how much he loves you.

He is betting on Beirong's life, the lives of all the people in the world, just to see you more.

did you know!

……

Southern Qi.

Under the same night, but because of the warm climate, it is a different scene.

Chengshou Mansion, inside Xie Lingqin's house.

"Gao, you are really tall, you defeated Bei Rong's army without bloodshed."

"So, at this time, we have to pursue the victory."

Xie Lingqin was lying on the soft couch at this time, flipping through a book casually, and when he said this, he never took his eyes off the book.

"Your words are correct, but the emperor has already ordered you to return to the imperial capital earlier. Although I didn't say it, I heard someone say that you coughed again last night."

"Compared to before, it's much better. Elder Dong's prescription is very useful."

Xie Lingqin said.

"I'm still not at ease, no matter what, you are the princess of Nanqi, well... the eldest princess." Nan Fenghuang sighed, "So, you have to go back to the imperial capital no matter what."

Xie Lingqin finally put down the scroll and looked at Nan Fenghuang, "Must?"

Nan Fenghuang nodded, "Not negotiable."

"What if I don't come back?"

"Believe me, father's temper is definitely not as good as what you see. He will do things that you don't expect. I advise you, don't try it. Go back to the imperial capital and experience how a father treats you. love."

Xie Lingqin looked at Nan Fenghuang who was rarely so serious, smiled suddenly, got up slightly, looked at Nan Fenghuang, "I always feel that you are a little jealous."

"That's right, your feeling is right, the position of eldest princess has been taken away, father's love has been taken away, and of course, there is also my favorite second brother... Well, let's get down to business, now Shen Yuan has led troops to guard the border, plus There will be no problem with the defense suggestion you gave earlier."

"Okay then, let's go tomorrow."

"Then Taolin isn't going to see it anymore?"

"My heart is like a sea of ​​bitterness, I can't see it."

Xie Lingqin finished speaking, put down the book, put on his shoes, and seemed to want to go out.

"It's so late, where are you going?"

"Suddenly want to hear Yu Riyu's Xiao Sheng, go find him..."

"He left this morning, saying that his mother was sick."

Listening to Nan Fenghuang's words, Xie Lingqin paused, sighed, "It's a pity that I left..."

"What's the pity, I don't know how many such young and handsome doctors I have in Nanqi. If you like it, it's no problem to take them all into the princess mansion."

Xie Lingqin's eyebrows twitched slightly, and after a while, he looked at Nan Fenghuang, staring slightly, "Princess Mansion?"

"That's right, Royal Father has even marked out your mansion for you, it's very close to the imperial palace."

Xie Lingqin suddenly didn't want to go back to the Southern Qi Imperial Capital.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Xu Yiran asked me to tell you when I came here just now. The Emperor Beirong secretly sent the Fifth Prince and a man named Qin Xun out of Beijing. Western Xia."

Qin Xun...

"Would you like to persuade Xixia, or restrain you?"

Xie Lingqin sneered suddenly, "Just wait and see."

"However, Xu Yiran actually asked you to bring a message instead of telling me in person, is he not here?"

Xie Lingqin thought of this question.

"Hmm..." Nan Fenghuang nodded, "It's a bit strange from the past."

"You have something to hide from me."

Xie Lingqin looked at Nan Fenghuang, "Your eyelashes are trembling."

"You can also see this, it's really... well, I'm curious, so I asked, before he left the city guard's mansion, he asked about the whereabouts of that Yu Riyu."

Xie Lingqin's eyes darkened.
