Joy of Life: I'm really not a saint

He had already seen the figure of the fake emperor Li Chengqian, rushing towards Qin Ye in a hurry.

Looking at the other party's embarrassed figure, he was far inferior to his own son-in-law. It turned out that he had no destiny. At this time, he still wanted to break through! ?

The Second Prince had not shown up, so even if Qin Ye wanted to turn the tables, he had no target. Plus, Li Chengqian came in a panic, so he had to send people to rescue him. This time, he could not resist Ye Zhong's attack. That was just fate!

The soldiers were like a torrent and a fierce dragon, rushing towards the struggling crowd on the opposite side, devouring these poor losers.

Amid the yellow sand, the black flag with the word Qin on it was still fluttering in the wind, giving people a solemn and murderous feeling.

However, the knife marks and arrow holes on the flag made it look less murderous and more lonely.

In such a critical situation, Qin Heng, the former deputy envoy of the Privy Council, current commander of the Kyoto garrison division and leader of the second generation of the Qin family, led his troops to provide support.

This is Qin Ye's back-up plan, a way out, but it can only be used when both sides are evenly matched. Now it seems that these thousands of people are just a drop in the bucket! Seeing Qin Heng rushing in with an irresistible momentum, Qin Ye was almost vomiting blood in anger!

"What a mess! What a mess!"

While Qin Ye was hacking and killing the enemy troops that rushed in front of him, he shouted, "My son, go! Don't worry about me and His Majesty! Go north or west!"

Qin Heng's eyes almost popped out, but he was determined, knowing that the Qin family was finished and he was the last one to continue the Qin family. His father placed all his bets on Li Chengqian for the Qin family, and his original intention was just for the next few decades of glory for the Qin family, so he would not blame anyone.

After all, it was because he was not ambitious enough, otherwise why would his father take such risks and do such things to seek glory for the family?

Until now, it’s all God’s will!

Qin Heng turned his horse around and led more than 3,000 people who were still in good order to break out to the northwest.

As for Li Chengqian, he doesn't even care about him!

Ye Zhong just watched all this calmly. He squinted his eyes and ignored the yellow soil that poured into his mouth and nose. A complex emotion emerged in his chest. After today, he would be the father-in-law of the emperor, and his daughter would become the queen!

Everything is won!

Next, we only need to guard against the Dongyi City army and Fan Xian who will arrive tomorrow. The fruits of victory will be harvested.

The capital of Qing State had been besieged by foreign enemies in history, but the enemy had never broken into the city. Today, by some strange coincidence, Ye Chong accomplished this feat, even though it was a civil war.

Li Chengqian and Qin Ye were captured.

Looking at the two people being brought before him, Ye Zhong, as a soldier of the Qing Kingdom, had mixed feelings. He waved his hand and ordered, “Take them into custody and keep an eye on them. Everything will be decided by the Second Prince!”

······

The imperial guards in the city received the news that the two sides had decided the winner, and they also began to take action.

They first moved to the Prince's Palace, and after picking up the princess, Ku He and others, they swaggered towards the north gate. Ku He sat on the top of the carriage, meditating silently to heal his wounds. All the Qing soldiers who met did not dare to approach him and could only let him leave.

The most important thing is that the opponent's commander dare not act rashly, otherwise it is hard to say whether the opponent can be defeated. As the commander, I am sure to die.

After finally waiting for the several thousand imperial guards to leave the city, the remaining troops of the Second Prince entered the city, slowly occupied all the important positions and government offices, and then slowly surrounded the imperial palace and the royal villa.

Unlike the soldiers who were still confused, some smart officers who were originally stationed there had already guessed that the second prince had won, and they quickly laid down their weapons and surrendered.

Among the nine groups of soldiers who entered the city along the way, Commander Zhang Deqing was the most proud.

Although he only opened a city gate, it was the first achievement under Ye Zhong. He knew that under the Ye family, even if he had any credit, it would not be too great. Therefore, in the previous charge, he was hiding in the back and fishing, which was considered a smart move.

Nowadays, the whole world of Qing Kingdom worships black, and the soldiers gathered in front of the royal villa are all wearing black light armor.

The crowd slowly parted, and the second prince Li Chengze rode out slowly on his horse.

"Knock, be polite."

The army stopped, and the horses neighed and snorted, stepping on the bluestone floor of the street, raising a few wisps of dust.

With such a noise, it was impossible for the people in the courtyard not to hear it, so there was no need to knock on the door again. However, for some reason, the door of the royal villa had never been opened.

Boom boom boom!

I knocked on the door twice, but no one answered.

Li Chengze's heart moved. Could there be some small accident?

With a wave of his hand, soldiers knocked on the door. When the door was opened from the outside, the broken bodies in the courtyard and the princess and others who had been waiting there for a long time were revealed.

Chapter 361: Drunkenness, murderous intent and autumn mood in the villa.

Looking at the eldest princess who had been waiting for a long time and was not surprised at his final victory, Li Chengze could not help but sigh in embarrassment.

Only then did he understand the viciousness of the false emperor Li Chengqian.

He also knew the news that the Queen Mother had passed away.

When the Queen Mother was still alive, she did not want her descendants to fall into chaos at a time like this, but is it necessary to sacrifice herself just for the sake of balance and stability?

Just like when my father was still alive?

He always avoided meeting people in the palace, even the eldest princess.

Li Chengqian is not as simple as he seems.

He always knew where his strengths were, and he also knew who was truly powerful after leaving Kyoto. He looked very much like his father, and because of this, he was always certain that the eldest princess was his own from the beginning to the end.

His extraordinary forbearance has brought him to where he is today.

But Li Chengze doesn't believe this!

He is older than Li Chengqian, and is superior to him in terms of intelligence, ability, and even the art of controlling people. The empress dowager is old and has dim eyesight, and his father sticks to the old ways!

Today, everything will come to an end.

"Chengze, come here and let me take a closer look."

The eldest princess flicked her sleeves and greeted him from where she stood. Her tone was somewhat cheerful, and a smile was on her face that had not changed over the years.

This smile is so beautiful, as fresh and gorgeous as a young girl in her twenties.

This contradictory feeling is the reason why Li Yunrui is famous all over the world. Li Chengze admires her, but also feels disgusted.

Li Chengze wiped his eyebrows and calmed himself down. He walked forward, bowed slightly to the beautiful lady in palace dress on the stone slab in the courtyard, and said softly, "Hello, aunt."

Li Chengze's voice was extremely low, and indescribably natural and gentle.

The eldest princess stared at her brother's son in a daze. Her fake smile slowly faded away. She said with some regret, "Why do you look so much like Fan Xian?"

Li Chengze did not reply.

When Fan Xian first came to Kyoto, he was surprised by Fan Xian's appearance.

It's like looking in the mirror. No matter the degree of the smile or the artificial posture, they are all as if they were carved from the same mold.

Therefore, although the princess was sighing about her appearance at this time, she was only saying it to herself.

"How have you been lately?"

The voice seemed to be complaining, I haven't seen you for many days, and you didn't come to greet me?

Frowning, Li Chengze coughed uncomfortably, smiled and said lightly: "I have been really busy recently, so I have time to come and visit my aunt."

"I understand your intention."

The greetings between the two had exhausted the last bit of affection, and Li Yunrui's expression turned cold.

She first whispered a few instructions to the palace maids in the courtyard, and then led Li Chengze to the inner courtyard.

It turned out that a table of food and wine had already been arranged in the courtyard. There were only two people in the room, so they relaxed a little. In addition, it was their nature that they did not care too much about the success or failure of the matter, and their tone became gentler.

Sitting on the stone bench, Li Yunrui, who didn't know what to say, sighed and said faintly: "In your eyes, what kind of person am I?"

Li Chengze tilted his neck, somewhat puzzled.

Such gentle words are totally unlike the temperament of an aunt. Li Yunrui grew up in the palace and was loved by the old queen mother. She really had everything she wanted. But she didn't want what others gave her, but what she wanted to fight for was something that others couldn't give up. For her, it was two extremes.

There were all kinds of mixed emotions in my heart, and I didn't know how to express myself for a moment.

"It makes no difference to me what kind of person my aunt is."

People are divided into useful and useless ones.

As long as it is beneficial to him, Li Chengze can show the utmost tolerance and patience even if the other person is extremely ugly or has no talent.

Obviously, Li Yunrui is such a person at this time!

"I didn't expect that in the end, I still didn't hear a sincere evaluation from you." Today's eldest princess still has a beautiful face, red lips and bright eyes, and her long hair like a black waterfall is still tied up as before. Compared with the past, she revealed some rare real emotions. She is not as timid as the legend says, which makes her peerless beauty more vivid.

Slowly, she served the food to Li Chengze. The two of them were not in a hurry and wanted to fill their stomachs first.

After a long time, Li Chengze clapped his hands lightly, and two guards who had been waiting in the front yard for a long time came over carrying a person.

"Your Highness!"

"let it go."

After waving his hand and waiting for the two guards to leave, Li Chengze wiped his mouth and said softly, "Aunt, this is the eunuch who leaked the news at the beginning. He is also a spy planted by Fan Xian in the East Palace. It's ridiculous that my father was so smart all his life, but in the end he was used by his most trusted subordinates and his most beloved son."

Hong Zhu can be said to be half responsible for the current chaos in Qing Kingdom.

He is the most direct fuse.

"This is a great gift."

Li Yunrui smiled softly, as if he didn't care about this person.

Things have already happened, and it is too late to make amends. Faintly, Li Yunrui still enjoys this feeling, the feeling of "revenge" on his brother after the incident was exposed.

"My nephew is sincere enough, so I will leave this person to you, aunt."

No one knew how Hong Zhu was captured here. As early as when he completed Fan Xian's mission, he had been arranged to go to the border state to reunite with his brother.

His friendship with the prince made him decide to go to the Eastern Palace to die, but after many twists and turns, he finally fell into the hands of Li Chengze.

The palace maid in the distance behind him stepped forward and filled Li Chengze's glass with wine. He raised the glass and drank it all, feeling the slight bitterness in his throat, and experiencing how mellow and rich the Wuliangye liquor brought into the world by Fan Xian's mother Ye Qingmei was!

"Where is my brother now?"

Qin Ye supported Li Chengqian. He was already a top ninth-rank master. With the support of the thousands of most elite soldiers in the camp, it was not surprising that he was able to protect the second prince Li Chengqian in the battle.

But all the people in the suburbs of Kyoto are his.

As for the surrounding areas, according to Li Chengze's estimation, the reinforcements from Dongyi City that Fan Xian requested would almost arrive. Where else could Li Chengqian run to?

It was nothing more than one of the several escape routes that my aunt had already prepared.

"what!"

A palace maid holding a dagger had already killed Hong Zhu who was kneeling on the ground. She then took out a dry cloth to wipe the blood off the sword before putting it back into the sheath and standing behind Li Yunrui.

The chill from outside the royal villa seeped in bit by bit, rudely taking away the last bit of heat from the food on the table. It was really a novelty to eat this meal next to the corpses of countless dead soldiers.

But this also made Li Chengze evaluate his aunt's mental state.

Finally he came to a conclusion: This woman is really crazy!

"Do you believe?"

Li Yunrui laughed wantonly: "If I tell you, you two brothers will both die at the hands of Fan Xian and Li An!"

Chapter 362 Did the aunt sell the prince or save him?

"You were the one who caused the fight between me and the crown prince. What did you gain from it?"

Li Chengze stroked his hair and said with contempt, "Playing both sides of us and stepping on the weak will indeed highlight your importance, but the prince will become dependent on you, but I won't!"

"You teamed up with Li Ang a long time ago?"

The eldest princess asked abruptly, interrupting Li Chengze's tactful persuasion.

"It's not really a collaboration, we just have a tacit understanding between each other." The two had been in contact some time near the end of Fan Xian's trip to the south of the Yangtze River, and Li An's disciple Chen Xiao met with him under the pretext of smuggling. It was then that he realized that Li Yunrui would never really help him from beginning to end, as well as the scandal between her and the prince!

There is no certainty as to how many stupid people there are in the world, but there are quite a few smart people!

There was no need for Chen Xiao to say much about the subsequent developments. Li Chengze could guess what would happen next just from the fact that the prince committed incest. At the right time, Chen Xiao also revealed the information that his master was going to attack Emperor Qing at Dadong Mountain.

I guess the other party is not worried about leaking the secret.

Because this is his only chance to ascend to the throne!

At the same time, Emperor Qing will also make a fuss about the deposed crown prince, lure out all the enemies and destroy them in one fell swoop.

He finally understood that no matter how he argued with the prince, it would be useless. Regardless of the outcome, what would it matter even if he won?

After his father's identity as a grandmaster was exposed, he had given up the idea of ​​fighting with the crown prince. He was waiting for Emperor Qing to grow old and abdicate. He was at least in his twilight years. By then, what difference and significance would it make for the emperor to do it or not?

If his father were still alive, his greatest achievement in this life would only be that of a crown prince!
