Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 397 Betrayal
The Beidi army was stationed at the foot of Qishan, a hundred miles away from the capital. The huge eagle flag was flying in the wind, covering the bright spring, and even passing birds had to detour for it.

Yuan Yutang's dark blue eyes reflected the emerald green of the mountains, and he seemed to sigh: "Dayan's mountains and rivers are the most beautiful scenery in the world I have ever seen. If it is not a last resort, I really can't bear to destroy such a beautiful scenery."

Even though it was already spring, he was still wearing a thick fox fur, his complexion was snow-white, and he coughed occasionally.

Luosang was a little worried about his health: "Your Highness, it's windy outside, why don't you go in and wait?"

"No need," Yuan Yutang wrapped the fox fur tightly, looking in the direction of the capital, "Second Brother is coming back soon?"

"It's past noon, and it should be almost here."

"Second brother has been in the barracks for a long time, and it's rare for him to fight today. I just hope he doesn't want to fight."

This time Beidi sent two princes here, Yuan Yuxuan acted impulsively, and only wanted to invade the capital and win the world, but Yuan Yutang thought carefully and did not support him to send troops at this time.

Yuan Yuxuan didn't know Yuan Yutang's worries, thinking that he was afraid of Fu Mingjue's Xuan Yuwei, so he didn't dare to send troops. Whenever this matter was mentioned, there would always be troubles.

For this reason, the two had several disputes.

Luosang said: "With Yun Jing following His Highness the Second Highness, there shouldn't be any big troubles."

"Well, I hope—"

As soon as this party finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes in the distance, and soon, Beidi's flag gradually appeared in the mountains and forests.

Yuan Yuxuan rode his horse galloping full of anger, but before the guard could move the fence, he threw dirt on his face and forced him to step aside.

Seeing that the fierce horse was about to rush in front of him, Luosang hurriedly protected Yuan Yutang: "Your Highness, be careful!"

Yuan Yutang looked at the horse's hooves raised high, his eyes turned cold.

The next moment, Yuan Yuxuan reined in the reins suddenly. The horse suffered from pain and neighed ear-piercingly. He tilted his head and rushed to the side, crushing the steps. The burning brazier fell down, and the hot charcoal fire splashed everywhere.

Luosang stood in front of Yuan Yutang, the back of his hand was burned by hot sparks, and then glared at Yuan Yuxuan angrily: "The Second Highness galloped in, almost hurting the Crown Prince! May I ask what the Second Highness is up to?"

"What kind of thing are you, you dare to question this prince?!"

Yuan Yutang raised his hand to stop Luosang, signaling him not to be impulsive.

Luosang clenched his fists and stepped aside: "This subordinate is impolite."

Yuan Yuxuan snorted coldly, rode over slowly, and said condescendingly to Yuan Yutang: "This horse is King Jing'an's mount. I just got it not long ago, so I couldn't help it. It scared my fourth brother. Feel sorry."

Yuan Yutang didn't care about his false apology, and said: "Everything has a spirit. Although this horse is good, but it has been with King Jing'an for many years, and I think it has recognized the Lord. If you really can't surrender, the second brother might as well find another horse. Good horse, lest I hurt myself in the future."

"I don't need my fourth brother to worry about this matter," Yuan Yuxuan gritted his teeth, "I don't know how long this battle will last, you should first think about how to last until then!"

After speaking, he got off his horse, threw the reins to his followers, and strode into his tent.

Luosang looked at his back and said angrily: "Second Highness is too arrogant! It's nothing more than being rude to you on weekdays, but now he dares to hurt you with a horse? It's too much!"

"Forget it," Yuan Yutang was not so angry: "After all, he didn't really hurt me, so let him go."

"You are always so soft-hearted!"

"It's not that I'm soft-hearted, it's just that the current situation is uncertain, so you don't need to worry yourself about these trivial things."

Lausanne was indignant.

At this time, Yun Jing, who came late, came from outside the camp. After seeing the ceremony, he said: "In today's battle, His Highness the Second Highness suffered a loss at the hands of King Jing, and he was angry in his heart. Startled."

Yuan Yutang hadn't heard this name for a long time, and asked, "Is it King Jing's Xuan Yuwei?"

"Exactly."

Today Yuan Yuxuan brought [-] soldiers to go to Fu Mingjue to settle accounts. Who would have thought that the lieutenant beside him was shot through the eyebrows by Fu Mingjue before he reached Beiming Gate.

Yuan Yu was so angry that he ordered to attack the city regardless of the obstruction.

The Beidi army was extremely ferocious, capable of pulling out a thousand catties, but they had no power to fight back against the Xuan Yuwei, who was swift and good at using concealed weapons.

After only two hours, Beidi gradually began to decline.If it wasn't for Yun Jing's timely dissuasion, it is estimated that the [-] troops would have fallen into Fu Mingjue's hands today.

After Yuan Yutang heard about it, he understood, and said: "Xuan Yuwei is really in trouble, how is the situation in the capital now?"

Yun Jing: "Return to Your Highness, the news has been sent to the capital for two days, and we haven't received a reply yet."

"I know, you go down first."

"Yes."

After Yun Jing left, Yuan Yutang's eyes became darker, and he went back to the tent with his thoughts on his mind.

Seeing this, Luosang couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, are you worried about changes in the situation in the capital?"

"Well," he sat down in front of the brazier, and when he saw no one around, he expressed his worries, "Before coming to Dayan, the father told us to obey his orders. On the way, from Suzhou to the capital, The information he sent us every time was accurate, but after arriving in the capital, he lost contact, which made me doubt his loyalty to Beidi."

Luosang was puzzled: "Why does the king trust a spy so much? Isn't he afraid of his betrayal?"

"If he was just an ordinary spy, my father would not believe him so."

"Then who is he?"

There seemed to be fire beating in Yuan Yutang's eyes, and after a long time, he said: "Father has a younger brother with one mother, who died in the blizzard 17 years ago. But he didn't die, but came to Dayan, where he was replaced again. live with a face."

Luosang was stunned: "Could it be what you said?"

"Father has only one younger brother, that is, my uncle—Prince De Yuanhao."

Yuan Yutang had no impression of this uncle, and he had never even seen his original appearance. When he heard about this strange event, he only felt horrified.

A person can endure the pain of skinning and deboning, risking being discovered at any time, just to gain higher power.

Such a huge ambition made Yuan Yutang feel terrified, even if that person was his blood relative, he couldn't fully trust him.

The pursuit of power will make people lose their minds. Yuan Hao has seen too much wealth and splendor in this imperial city. After many years, who can guarantee that he is still the Yuan Hao who is loyal to Beidi and the king of Beidi?

The gray sea of ​​clouds piled up above the capital city, and the whole mansion was silent in silence.

Cai Yuan sat in the grand teacher's chair against the light, and after listening to the report from the hidden guard, he said in a deep voice, "Yuan Yuxuan is still so stupid, but because of the death of a lieutenant general, he recklessly attacked, and instead of talking about losing face, let Fu Ming The tactic prevailed."

"Master, no matter how powerful the Xuanyu Guard is, it will not be able to withstand an army of 15. As long as the Liangzhou Guard is held back, we will be able to capture the capital before Guyu!"

"This matter is not that simple," Cai Yuan said, "Although King Jing'an died, Pei Ce went to Qingyang Pass with a military talisman. It is estimated that he will arrive in Qingyang in a few days."

"Then do you want your subordinates to kill him?"

"Pei Ce is surrounded by a man with high martial arts skills. The killers sent by him will die at most after three moves. With your ability, you can't kill him."

The subordinates were secretly surprised: "There is such a powerful person in the world?"

Cai Yuan thought of the white clothes, and his eyes darkened: "Gu Qingyi, the number one in Jianghu, died at his hands, and now he should be called number one in the world."

Back then he used Zixiao Palace to get rid of Lushan, only Xie Yuanting survived.

I thought that Gu Qingyi would be able to kill Xie Yuanting, but he did not expect to lose to him in the end.Now Xie Yuanting is escorting Pei Ce to Qingyang Pass, all the way is unimpeded, if he is told the truth about Lushan being exterminated, he will bring Liangzhou guards back immediately.

"We can't delay any longer, we must take the capital before Liangzhou Wei arrives!" Cai Yuan changed his voice, "But there is only one person who can enter the capital—"

"Who do you think this person should be?"

"Yuan Yuxuan."

The subordinates didn't quite understand: "You didn't say that the second prince was too reckless and almost lost the overall situation. Why was he the one who was able to enter the city in the end?"

"It is because he is stupid that he can control it better. I have worked so hard for so many years. Do I have to give up the throne to my brother who is dying?" Cai Yuan continued with gloomy eyes, "All this I deserve it, that position should have been mine 20 years ago!"

After saying that, Cai Yuan's expression changed suddenly, he stared out of the window vigilantly, and ordered: "Go and see who it is."

"Yes."

The black shadow flashed past, and returned to this study after a short while.He knelt down respectfully, and said: "Master, it's the third master, do you want it?"

Cai Yuan was slightly taken aback, a little surprised but also as expected.

Among the three sons of the Cai family, the eldest son, Cai Ju, has a generous personality and does not cause trouble. After realizing what his father has done, he just chooses to send Cai Wenbin out of Beijing, and then pretends to be ignorant; Steady progress, has been an official for several years, and is still a sixth-rank official.

However, Cai Qi was not from the old lady, so it was inevitable that he would be looked down upon by the Cai family, which also formed him to be mercenary and duplicitous.

Cai Yuan, no, it should be said that it is Yuan Hao, it is precisely because of this that he takes special care of him.

Cai Qi did many things for him, but Cai Qi didn't know his true identity.

But what he said just now was finally heard by Cai Qi. Although Beidi's army had captured the northern border, if the plan fails, his identity will not be revealed for a day.

Yuan Hao slowly closed his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and finally made a decision: "For the sake of him calling me my father for so many years, let him go happily."

"Subordinates obey." Sombra moved in response.

Cai Qi never dreamed that his father would be a spy of Beidi, more precisely, it was not his father at all!

He originally thought that his father was just unwilling to face His Majesty's suppression, but he didn't think that his purpose from the beginning was to seek power and usurp the throne.

Until his death, Cai Qi didn't think about it, since when did his father change his life?
The spring rain came at night, and the bean-sized raindrops mixed with hail slammed on the roof. No one heard the dying sound in the depths of the courtyard, so they turned off the lights early and fell asleep with a restless heart.
