Jiaochu

Chapter 504 Admiration
When it gets dark, no one has arrived yet.

Xu Yi and Cao Hong suspected that they were delaying deliberately and wanted to wait for the reinforcements from elsewhere to get rid of the root cause. They combined their minds and decided to strike preemptively. Hundreds of Xuanyi troops surrounded Commander Wu and the guards he brought with them, three layers inside and three layers outside. The two men let Commander Wu surrender. Commander Wu asked the two men if they wanted to rebel. The two sides were at war with each other, and when they were about to fight, a loud voice shouted, "The prince is here."

Xu Yi and Cao Hong were startled when they heard this. When they saw that the person sitting in the wheelchair was Murong Ze, they were both surprised and happy. Jingzhe pushed Murong Ze over, followed by the Xuanyi Army who also detained a man in black. Man, man is tied up with ropes, the black scarf covering his face has been torn off, and there is a tattoo on his forehead, which is the prisoner's tattoo.

With a clang, Murong Ze threw a dart on the ground. Xu Yi picked it up. When he and Cao Hong saw the eagle wing logo engraved on it, their expressions changed, and they immediately realized that the man in black was a dead soldier from the North.

"Do you two uncles recognize this person?" Murong Ze asked.

After Xu Yi and Cao Hong saw the face of the man clearly, Cao Hong's expression changed, because this man was the one he captured. His name was Jin Wutian. He was notorious in the world and had committed many massacres. In order to avoid the Long Shadow Guards, He fled to the north after being followed, and took the opportunity to commit a crime. He was captured by Cao Hong, and after taking the secret medicine, he became a dead soldier.

Cao Hong told the other party's name and origin, and Jingzhe said that the other party was ambushing him halfway with a group of men in black, intending to take Murong Ze's life. Cao Hong and Xu Yi were shocked again.

Murong Ze signaled, and Jingzhe asked the Xuan Yi Army to bring the person over. The Xuan Yi Army pushed the person to the ground and knelt down. Murong Ze gave him two choices. If he revealed the person behind the scenes, he would be happy. If he didn't tell him, he would be slow. Waiting for death, he has plenty of patience.

The other party was not a loyal person at first, and he was still greedy for life and afraid of death. When he asked Murong Ze to spare his life, he told the person behind the scenes, and Murong Ze said he could think about it.

He revealed that the man behind the scenes was Murong Min.

Xu Yi and Cao Hong were shocked again and couldn't believe this was true.

"Sister Wang still can't tolerate me after all. If I'm gone, the title will naturally fall to Chi'er." Murong Ze sneered, "After so many years, Sister Wang still hates me and my mother. It's a pity that my life It shouldn’t be.”

Xu Yi and Cao Hong also knew some of the reasons. Their expressions were filled with emotion, and the next moment they were shocked.

Jingzhe sealed his throat with a sword and killed Jin Wutian.

Murong Ze said: "I have thought about it, but I still can't keep you." He glanced at Xu Yi and Cao Hong, who immediately knelt down to pay homage to him and called him Prince instead. Murong Ze asked the two of them to go back to the palace with him to plead guilty to the emperor, and they obeyed.

Commander Wu also came back together.

When we returned to the capital, the night was already deep.

Xu Yi and Cao Hong wanted to go to pay homage to King Zhenbei first. Murongze said that his father's body was also in the palace. After entering the palace, the group went to pay homage first. By the time the remembrance was over, it was already the fourth watch. Murongze and Xu Yi Caohong said something alone.

When it was time to go to court, Murongze took Xu Yi and Cao Hong into the palace together with all the civil and military officials to meet the saint. Xu Yi and Cao Hong asked Ye Lanchen to apologize. Ye Lanchen was considerate of their feelings and would not pursue them. The two thanked them. Xu Yi spoke first, "The prince has told me what happened. The assassin's face was covered that night, and his identity has yet to be verified." At this point, the conversation changed, "But now the whereabouts of the uncle and nephew are unknown, and there is a dagger as evidence. , If a person never shows up, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.”

Prime Minister Su said: "The emperor has sent people to search for the whereabouts of the two people. If the two generals find clues, they can report it to the emperor."

Xu Yi stopped talking, and Cao Hong spoke again: "I heard that the prince was seriously injured before and fell into a coma. Thanks to the careful care of the three princesses, he was able to wake up. If the princess can be united with my prince forever, it will be the northern border. Blessing." As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the palace, and some ministers were talking among themselves, trying to figure out the amount of information contained in these four words.

Before Ye Lanchen could speak, Ye Xingye blurted out, "How can your heir apparent marry my third sister like this?" Xu Yi took the opportunity to ask, "Does your highness dislike my prince for not being worthy of the princess?" Ye Xing was ambitious. This was exactly what he had in mind, but he knew he couldn't admit it in front of so many people, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that if the prince already has a sweetheart, wouldn't it be a beating?" As soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted. Murong Ze's next words were astonishing:

"I have admired the princess for a long time."

As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar in the palace.

Ye Xingye didn't know why for a long time, but what happened next made him so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth.

Murong Ze actually stood up from the wheelchair.

Although it is very strenuous, I still have to hold the wheelchair with both hands for support.

He slowly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen survived the catastrophe. Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise. Doctor Han said that Wei Chen's leg is expected to recover. If Wei Chen can only be trapped in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, he will never delay the princess. Now He is expected to recover, and Wei Chen does not want to regret it for the rest of his life. If the princess is willing to marry Wei Chen, Wei Chen swears here that he will never wrong the princess in the slightest. "

Ye Lanchen signaled, and Eunuch De went down to help him up. When Murongze stood up again, there was sweat on his forehead, and it looked like he was struggling. Eunuch De helped him sit down in the wheelchair, and then Withdrew. Ye Lanchen said that he would consider the matter carefully and asked Murong Ze to recover from his injuries first.

After retreating from the court, Ye Xingye took Ye Qingran to discuss countermeasures and thought about what to do. Ye Qingran pondered for a while and said, "Lingxi will get married after all." After a pause, "It's just that the northern border is difficult. Han, if she gets married, I don’t know if she can adapt.”

In Ye Xingye's desperation, he whispered about Ye Lingxi and Yan Fei. Ye Qingran was not surprised, as if he had already seen what was going on between the two. He said, "A son and a daughter can only love each other forever." It's the icing on the cake. As for ordinary people, since you and I were born in the heavenly family, we can't indulge in love." Ye Xingye sounded a little awkward, and suddenly felt that his eldest brother seemed a little unkind and a little strange. , quickly drove away this strange thought, and discussed whether to send a message, Ye Qingran said to go with him.

When the two arrived at Changxin Palace, they saw Ye Lingxi holding a dagger aggressively, as if he was going to find someone to fight for. They were blocked by Hehe and Lingdang, one hugging his waist and the other hugging his legs. Seeing the two of them, Lingdang seemed to have seen a savior, and quickly called them over to persuade them. Ye Xingye asked what was going on, and Lingdang said, "Isn't it because Prince Murong said that he admired the princess and wanted to marry her, and he did so in front of so many people?" Aren’t you deliberately trying to get in trouble with the princess?”

Ye Xingye was shocked. He didn't expect the news to come out so quickly. He persuaded Ye Lingxi to calm down, saying that the matter hadn't been settled yet. Ye Lingxi said that the other party just wouldn't shed tears without seeing the coffin, so she could just go and beat him up. Seeing if he still dared to talk nonsense, Ye Qingran reached out and took away the dagger in her hand, walked over and put it on the table, poured another cup of tea, and then sat down to drink tea, calmly and calmly, like a normal person.

"You see that the eldest brother is still in the mood to drink tea. He must have a good idea." Ye Xingye whispered to Ye Lingxi, and then the two of them came over together and sat down to pour tea. Ye Qingran said, "Don't beat people up." "Yes?" Ye Lingxi took a sip of tea and asked humbly what to do. Ye Qingran said, "The key is to see the father's attitude towards the north." Ye Xingye said anxiously, "What's the attitude?" Ye Qingran said, "Although the prince has ascended the throne, the King of Zhenbei has passed away in the capital after all. The soldiers in the north may have many grudges in their hearts. Marriage is the fastest way to appease people's hearts."

Ye Lingxi's heart sank and she said dullly: "Is there no other way but marriage? Can the world really be peaceful through marriage?"

Ye Qingran said: "Xiuzhou has just been pacified, so it is not appropriate for another war to happen."

Ye Lingxi bit her lip and said nothing, knowing in her heart that her elder brother was right. Her father most likely thought so too. She was the only princess of the right age in the palace who could marry, and everyone outside knew about her. Being favored, if she marries to the north, the rumors will be settled to some extent. There are rumors outside that her father is afraid of the great king of Zhenbei. I am afraid that some soldiers in the north also think so, and suspect that her father sent someone After assassinating the King of Zhenbei, if she married him, some of the barriers could be eliminated to some extent. Rationally, she advised herself to put the overall situation first. Emotionally, she couldn't get over this hurdle. Yan Fei still doesn't know what happened to her. How could she I can get married now...

At least let her see him again and see him in good health.
