Qi Yuan looked at the fire and sneered, "The huge Xuan Dynasty cannot be killed only from the outside. What kills it is the decay inside.
It is the jealousy of the ruler and his ministers, the struggle for power and profit, and the ignorance and ignorance.
It's not a natural disaster, it's a man-made disaster.
It was Emperor Anjia who ruined everything with his own hands. His mother died of his anger, his grandfather and his family died in the busy city, and Uncle Wang was buried in the fire of Anshan.
I am the only one, only the prince who has been imprisoned in the East Palace for ten years, and the new emperor Ye Xichen who was before the rebels entered the city, is still alive. "
Qi Yuan looked calm and stated these past events in a calm tone.
But Lin Zhi clearly saw the helplessness and resentment of the person in front of him from this calmness.
Lin Zhi was a little hard to accept for a while, "How could this be so? How could this be so? How could a loyal minister like Prime Minister Wang and a genius like His Royal Highness be like this?
You talk empty talk, what proof do you use? "
Lin Zhi gritted his teeth and asked Qi Yuan, he was not willing to believe this fact.
Daxuan is their country. They may hate the emperor for failing to fulfill his duties, but they never thought that Daxuan would be destroyed like this.
It was clear that the Emperor and Empress of Daxuan were harmonious at that time, the monarch and his ministers were in harmony, and the prince was even more talented. Both his husband and brother yearned to work for Daxuan in the future to build a better country.
How could this country disappear in just ten years?
"Proof?" Qi Yuan tilted his head and looked at Lin Zhi.
"What proof? This?"
Qi Yuan said and took out the jade pendant.
Lin Zhi looked at the jade pendant and frowned. What could he know as a child when the city was destroyed?
Lin Zhi obviously realized this, and even if Qi Yuan was real, he couldn't confirm it.
"You save my life, and I'll return the favor to you."
Qi Yuan put away the jade pendant and said, "There will be people attacking the east city gate tonight. If you want to leave, I can wait for you in the west city."
"As for where you want to go, I can also show you the way. General Lin Li is at Yangguan, and with your intelligence, he will be happy to take care of you.
Further away, there is the third prince Ye Chen in the south holding a jade seal to honor the late emperor's last edict.
Slightly closer is Ye Zhongjing, the king of Xiangyang who successfully usurped the throne and took control of the north. He has now proclaimed himself emperor, so he is considered the new emperor.
If it was all the Ye family, excluding the large and small rebels in various places, the Xuan Dynasty would not really be considered subjugated.
It's just that the emperor takes turns. "
Qi Yuan calmly showed Lin Zhi the way, looking casual.
Lin Zhi looked at Qi Yuan carefully and had more and more doubts in his heart.
Qi Yuan's behavior did not look like a subjugated king, and his introduction to the various forces was without any fluctuations.
Lin Zhi thought of the bright lights of the Mongolian army in Ancheng last night, "How many troops did you bring to attack the city?"
Qi Yuan spread his hands and said, "As you can see, he is the only one who lives alone."
Lin Zhi swallowed the siege method recommended to Qi Yuan, and turned his face away from Qi Yuan in anger.
"Forget it if you don't believe me."
Qi Yuan looked at Lin Zhi's youthful posture and smiled.
"But one person is enough to conquer the world."
Qi Yuan's eyes were firm and his words were loud and clear.
Lin Zhi was stunned by Qi Yuan's momentum, but quickly recovered and couldn't help but scream.
"Since you are His Highness the Crown Prince, why didn't you find my second uncle to be reduced to this?"
Qi Yuan propped up his chin, "Why do we have to look for him? Maybe I want to kill him?"
Lin Zhi looked at Qi Yuan in confusion. Could this man be a lunatic?
Although Lin Zhi didn't believe Qi Yuan's identity, he couldn't prove that he was fake.
If he was just imprisoned for ten years and then became useless, wouldn't he have gone crazy long ago?
"You want to kill the border guard just to seize power?"
Qi Yuan's tone remained normal, "What else?"
Seeing Qi Yuan looking so bland from beginning to end, Lin Zhi became angry.
"Since you don't care about everything, why do you still do these things? Since you don't care, why not just die."
Lin Zhi knew how difficult it was to live, so he was particularly angry at Qi Yuan's careless appearance.
"How do you know I haven't tried? Are you living for yourself?"
Lin Zhi looked stunned, "It's also for my brother."
Qi Yuan suppressed his smile and closed his eyes and said nothing more.
Lin Zhi looked at Qi Yuan, whose face was as heavy as water, and also kept silent.
If a person no longer wants to live for himself, then there are only other reasons for him to be alive.
If he is really the Crown Prince whose talent is so outstanding that even his brother admires it, then what is it that supports him to fight alone?
Is it the supreme emperor? Or is it the last wish of a loved one? Or something else?
Lin Zhi suddenly regretted that he had spoken too harshly, but when he saw Lin Jing closing her eyes tightly, she felt that she had not spoken harshly enough.
Who made this man make his elder brother who took good care of him crazy?
madman!
But Lin Zhi couldn't help but sigh. The experiences of the three of them were quite similar. They fell into hell when they were young and did not see the light of day for many years.
Only he is doing well and can at least go out for a walk. It would be sad for him like his elder brother and the people in front of him.
It's no wonder that the elder brother is going crazy, and the person in front of him is also going crazy.
Lin Zhi thought about the information Qi Yuan revealed to him. Can he really leave tonight?
This young man can't even protect himself. Can he believe it?
What would they do if they could really leave? Where is he taking his eldest brother?
Going to Yangguan?
Lin Zhi looked at the numb people leaning against the wall and sighed.
Because of the conversation between Qi Yuan and Lin Jing, the teenagers gathered at the fire had retreated to a dark corner.
Obviously, they were no less shocked by Qi Yuan's words than the two Lin brothers.
They also fell into the same confusion as Lin Zhi.
Will Lin Zhi leave them behind?
Who should they follow and where to find a way out?
Under the silence of the stone room, the hungry people soon fell into a dream due to lack of energy.
Qi Yuan raised his knife and slashed at Lin Zhi, who was on guard, and Lin Zhi also fell asleep.
Looking at the silent and dark stone chamber, Qi Yuan put out the fire in the stone chamber.
The search in the city will be stronger at night, and the smoke here will only put you in danger.
Qi Yuan walked to the bottom of the well and looked up at the stars in the sky through the well mouth. He used Qinggong to step on the stone wall and fly away from the bottom of the well.
Qi Yuan took the rope full of knots away and cleaned up all the traces left by Lin Zhi around the dry well.
What a joke, those words were just for Lin Zhi to hear. How could there be any reason to let go of the talent he liked?
At this moment, An Jiu was about to attack the city, but An Jiu couldn't do it alone.
Qi Yuan threw the rope and planned to make the best use of it.
After a while, Qi Yuan, dressed in tattered black clothes, emerged from the wine shop and walked quickly through Ancheng at night.
Thanks to the force of Qiyuan, he was able to avoid the patrolling Mongolian army and successfully reached the granary in Ancheng.
Qi Yuan looked at the tightly guarded granary on the third and outer floors and checked the hemp ropes tied to the pots.
There are two clay pots, one on the left and one on the right. If it weren't for the fact that these two pots are far apart, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble hiding from the patrolling people.
Take off the bow on your back, draw the bow and set the arrow in one go.
A bit of cold light broke through the wind in the night, and the sentry at a high place didn't even have time to react before he shot an arrow through his throat and fell to the ground with his eyes open.
As soon as the sentry fell to the ground, the people around him heard the sound of falling to the ground one after another before they noticed the enemy.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
