In Liang Guo's Yeting Palace, An Murong was looking out the window in a daze. The palace door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Feng Jingquan laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, are you still used to living there? I have been busy with too much in the past few days. , I have free time today, so I came here to visit my sister-in-law."
An Murong's heart tightened, knowing that the person who came here was not good, but Feng Jingquan was the king of a country after all, and he did not dare to lose his etiquette. He stood up and gave a blessing, and whispered: "Thank you for your concern, your Majesty. I am all well."
Feng Jingquan's smile did not diminish, he waved his hands to disperse the servants, and said: "Sister-in-law and I are a family, aren't we talking about this outside the family?" As he spoke, he approached An Murong step by step, raising his hand to touch the girl. A face that looks like thinking day and night.
An Murong suppressed his anger and turned his head to avoid it.
Feng Jingquan looked stern and said straight to the point: "Murong, ever since I first saw you when I was fourteen years old, I have been astonished. It's a pity that I can only watch you marry the emperor. That's all. Years have passed, and I have been thinking about you in my heart. The reason why I have not appointed a queen is just to wait for you. Don’t you still understand my intentions? "
After all, An Murong was once the empress of the world. Even after so many years, her majesty is still there. She interrupted without politeness: "I am your brother's wife after all. Please respect yourself!"
Feng Jingquan said with a ferocious smile: "Don't use your imperial brother to oppress me. How many years has he been dead? Respect yourself? The whole world is entirely up to me. No one can stop me from what I want! My sister-in-law has been a widow for so many years. You must be feeling empty and lonely, I understand a woman's mind better than your royal brother, so let me love you well today and relieve my sister-in-law's loneliness." As he spoke, he strode forward and pulled off An Murong's coat.
The latter screamed and called for help, but Feng Jingquan's informants were everywhere in the Yeting Palace. Even if someone heard it, they would not dare to risk losing their heads to save the late emperor's beloved concubine. An Murong struggled hard, but she was a female after all, and her strength was far inferior to that of Feng Jingquan in her prime. Soon she was pushed down on the bed by the latter, her hands were tightly tightened by Feng Jingquan, unable to move, and even the handle on her waist could not be used. The dagger used to defend himself cannot be drawn out.
Feng Jingquan had already revealed his true colors at this moment. He looked at the beauty below him who was longing for her and said with a lewd smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I understand women's thoughts better and how to love you better than my short-lived imperial brother who doesn't know how to be romantic. "
As the bed shook, An Murong was heartbroken and shed two lines of humiliating tears.

Half an hour later, Feng Jing walked out of Yeting Palace with complete satisfaction. An Murong lay on the bed, covering himself with the quilt to prevent the love affair from happening, with tears in his eyes. The reason why he was still hanging on after Feng Jingan's death was probably because he was afraid of death. At the same time, he was also lucky, hoping that one day Guo Yuaneng would lead the Yan Kingdom's cavalry to break through Liang Guoqing's Yangcheng and save himself from fire and water. But instead of waiting for Guo Yuan, Feng Jingquan's brutal atrocities were waiting! An Murong was disheartened, got up and put on clothes, took a bath and burned incense, put on makeup, released "Xi'er", and said sadly: "Jing'an, I feel guilty for not being able to pass on the incense to you. Guo Lang, The slave family can’t forgive you, and what I owe you in this life can only be repaid in the next life.”
On this day, the late emperor's beloved concubine An Murong committed suicide in the palace. The Liang Kingdom issued an edict that An Murong had committed adultery in the harem, bringing shame to the royal family. Feng Jingquan secretly ordered An Murong to die in order to rectify the palace discipline.

In the General's Mansion of the State of Yan, Guo Yuanzheng, the chief counselor who lives here all year round, is twisting a string of Buddhist beads with one hand and reading military books with the other. Suddenly, the beads broke off and rolled to the ground. Guo Yuan frowned, feeling annoyed. He threw the military book on the table, stood up, and walked out of the door.
Since the last time the Three Kingdoms joined forces to besiege the Liang Kingdom without success, King Yan Li Chengzhi no longer seems to have the same blind trust in this proud disciple of the academy as before. Guo Yuan is also happy to be free and stay in the general's mansion all day long. Baili Jin needs to guard the border all year round, but now in the general's mansion, Guo Yuan, who occupies the magpie's nest, is more like the master.
But for some unknown reason today, Guo Yuan only felt upset and had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. Guo Yuan believed in Buddhism, so when the beads broke, he strengthened his suspicion. He hooked his fingers and said as if talking to himself: "Go and find out what big event happened today." There was a rustling sound in the darkness, and then a figure walked out of the back door, obviously Feng Guo Yuanzhi I'm going to find out the news.
As Xuanyuan Ce's proud disciple, Guo Yuan has always focused on collecting intelligence. Two hours later, the man in black returned to the General's Mansion, bowed in front of Guo Yuan and said: "Master, there is news from the Liang Kingdom that Emperor Qing's favorite concubine An Murong has been sentenced to death by Emperor Wu of Liang for committing adultery in the harem. The body is buried in the countryside at will and is not allowed to enter the late emperor's mausoleum."
Guo Yuan was furious from his heart and crushed the iron birch bracelet into pieces. He naturally knew what An Murong was like, so how could he belittle himself? So he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "This is just nonsense used by Feng Jingquan to confuse the world! What I want is the truth!"
The man in black was obviously in the second-level rooting realm, but he was particularly respectful when facing Guo Yuan, who had no power to bind a chicken. He knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Master, please be patient and calm. Just go find out more.”
After the man in black left again, Guo Yuan slumped down on his chair, his heart pounding. He and An Murong were childhood sweethearts, and they were well-matched, but they fell behind in family life. Under pressure from the An family, they could only watch their beloved marry into the emperor's family. When Emperor Liang Qing died, he immediately encouraged Li Chengzhi to send troops to attack the Liang Kingdom. , if he successfully breaks through Qingyang City, he can take advantage of the chaos and leave An Murong, and live happily ever after, becoming a couple of gods and immortals. But he failed twice in a row and failed to rescue his beloved, but now the yin and yang are separated. Recalling the time when he was studying in the academy, the scenes of the two getting along day and night were vivid in his mind. Guo Yuan was extremely sad and shed two lines of tears.
In the evening, the man in black returned again, bringing the truth with him. According to the secret report, An Murong was forcibly raped by Feng Jingquan. Afterwards, he could not bear the humiliation and hanged himself in the Yeting Palace of Liang State.
Guo Yuan instantly went crazy.
As if he had expected it, after Baili Jin, who had been guarding the border all year round, heard the news, he immediately led a hundred elite soldiers and hurried back to the mansion. He arrived at this moment and saw that Guo Yuan looked miserable, with bleeding from all his orifices, and he seemed to be possessed. Baili Jin jumped forward, flew behind Guo Yuan, and slapped the latter's back with a palm, channeling his inner strength and helping him stabilize his mind. Although Baili Jin's martial arts cultivation is not as arrogant and domineering as Sikong Li's, he is still a solid master of the dirt-breaking realm. With his help, Guo Yuan's eyes gradually regained clarity.
Baili Jin said anxiously: "After I got the news, I immediately put down what I was doing and rushed back. I was afraid that my husband would do something drastic. Now that the matter has come to this, I still need to take care of myself and not be too sad or angry."
Guo Yuan said in a hoarse voice: "I promised to marry her back then, but I broke my promise and lost to Feng Jing'an, who is both a talented and talented person. Although I am unwilling to accept it, I am convinced. Now after so many years, this time, I still failed to protect her, so I could only let her be bullied in the cage in Qingyang City. In the end, she was separated forever without being able to see her for the last time. General, if you don't avenge this revenge, Guo Yuan is a useless person. I don’t have the guts to go to Huangquan Road to meet her.”
Baili Jin seemed a little embarrassed, and sighed: "Sir, please be patient. Although our military strength has been steadily increasing over the years, and our national strength has become stronger day by day, compared to the Liang Kingdom, which has 300 years of foundation and owns half of the Central Plains. , still pales in comparison, the national hatred comes first, I hope that you, sir, will put aside your children's personal relationship for the time being."
Guo Yuan roared hysterically: "I, Guo Yuan, have read hundreds of schools of thought and have great righteousness in the Spring and Autumn Period. I am dedicated to making achievements as a scholar and leaving my name in history. In the end, I can't even protect the woman I love. How can I talk about making achievements! I beg the general. Order to send out troops and point the sword at Qingyang City to kill Feng Jingquan! After the incident is completed, I will personally go to His Majesty to plead guilty."
Baili Jin frowned, shook his head and said, "I have always respected you, Sir, but I cannot accept your order in this matter. Not to mention that the deployment of troops with more than a thousand people requires His Majesty's order. Even if Sir wants to kill first and then report later, I will never do it." Let your soldiers accompany you to die in vain." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to help Guo Yuan up, and said solemnly: "I hope you will put the overall situation first."
Guo Yuan pushed Baili Jin away, gritted his teeth, stood up, and sneered: "The general is not only considerate of his subordinates, but also a first-class loyal person in the Yan Kingdom. Since the general is unwilling to lend a helping hand, then I, Guo Yuan, have to find another one." I'm looking for help from others. The general is loyal and loyal. When he makes great contributions to King Yan in the future, he will definitely be replaced by a king with a different surname who is not inferior to Li Jian! You and I have different ways, so let's say goodbye!" After saying that, he snapped his fingers and the man in black said The man appeared from the darkness, supported Guo Yuan, and left through the gate of the General's Mansion.
Baili Jin stretched out his hand, wanting to keep him, but hesitated, finally sighed and watched Guo Yuan drift away. King Yan Li Chengzhi was wary of this unparalleled counselor who was born in an academy. He once told Baili Jin in private that if he had second thoughts in life, he would be killed quickly! But Baili Jin missed his old love and didn't want to take Guo Yuan's life.
Up to this point, the Yan Kingdom had stood side by side, and the civil and military forces, which frightened others, parted ways.
