Hearing the shouts from behind, Feng Yibo hit the horse harder. regret
The man who saved him just now had his face covered, so he didn't see his true face.
But what is certain is that I have never heard the other party's voice.
Just now I could barely recognize the other party's accent.
But whether he recognized it or not, he was not going to stop.
If they are acquainted, misunderstandings will inevitably arise if they are caught meeting each other.
Even if you don’t know it, it’s hard to explain it to people.
This is an assassination of the emperor! regret
If we really want to be regarded as a group, I'm afraid even a hundred mouths can't explain it clearly.
By then, he had no other choice but to flee overseas.
It's a pity that Feng Yibo's riding skills are really average.
Even though the horse under his crotch was considered a good horse, he was still quickly overtaken.
The man was less than one position away from Feng Yibo, and sneered from behind:
"General Feng, I respect you as a hero. Just now you stopped others from killing you. If you continue to run, don't blame me for being rude."
Sure enough, it was that person just now! regret
As soon as he heard this, Feng Yibo looked back.
When he found that there was only one person, he reined in the reins and began to slow down the horse.
At the same time, he held the rein in one hand and quietly took out the short gun with the other hand.
Hesitating whether to give the other person a shot.
After all, this person saved him just now, so he didn’t rush to shoot, but first tested:
"May I ask what kind of hero your master is?"
When the man saw him slowing down his horse, he also slowed down and rode alongside Feng Yibo. regret
When he heard Feng Yibo's question, he did not comment and just smiled:
"General Feng, wouldn't you know if you go over there and take a look?"
At this moment, the roar of war horses came from the south.
Feng Yibo followed the sound and looked over, only to see dust flying all over the sky.
Apparently, another sentry came over.
He squinted his eyes slightly and could only see a vague outline in the distance.
But even so, he was certain of one thing. regret
These people were definitely not dressed as officers and soldiers, they were obviously the same as the group just now.
He is a thief who has just escaped from the control of the Beijing camp.
At this time, even if he thought about it, it would be of no use.
Feng Yibo made a prompt decision, reined in his horse and said:
"Please ask my friends to tie me up."
The man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he laughed and said:
"General Feng is afraid that he doesn't know that the Wei Dynasty is about to change, so he doesn't know who to show for being so cautious." Regret.
Having said that, he still took out the rope and wrapped it around Feng Yibo, wound it several times and finally tied a beautiful knot on his hand.
Then he held the rope, and the two of them came to Yujia one after another.
Feng Yibo saw thieves cleaning the battlefield along the way.
Long Jinwei died and was injured.
There are corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.
Those who were still alive and moving had their hands and feet tied up and tied up in strings.
At this time, they were being pushed and led to gather in an open space aside. regret
Feng Yibo had long been accustomed to seeing tragic scenes on the battlefield, and such a scene was nothing more than child's play for him.
I must say that I was feeling somewhat emotional, but I couldn't say that I was afraid.
The only thing that made him a little uneasy was that he didn't know what the other party's purpose was in finding him.
If the other bandit leader is from Jiangnan and has been favored by him, then it is very likely that he wants to recruit him into the gang.
But from the accent of the person next to me, it sounded like he was right.
Could it be...
Feng Yibo was silent all the way, thinking about various possibilities in his mind. regret
He looked downcast when he met people, and you could tell by looking at him that he was being held captive.
In this way, he was taken to a large car.
he is
I only had time to take a quick glance outside, but I couldn't get the full picture.
It can only be seen that this gorgeous car has extremely high driving regulations, but it does not seem to be driven by Emperor Jingshun.
"Eh? Why did you tie up General Dong...Feng?"
As soon as he entered the carriage, he saw a familiar figure.
It turned out to be Prince Zhongshun’s car! regret
I should have guessed it earlier!
The moment he saw him, all the doubts in Feng Yibo's heart were solved.
Who benefits the most from the emperor's death?
Theoretically, he is the young prince, Yuanchun's son.
However, the bloodline of the royal family is weak, and even Emperor Jingshun is afraid that he will die young, so he has not established a prince yet.
Now that the Supreme Emperor has passed away, if Emperor Jingshun is killed again...
As the only adult male in the royal family, Prince Zhongshun has the possibility of a fight. regret
wrong!
According to the current situation, it will be difficult for the little prince to grow up!
While Feng Yibo was in a daze, the person next to him who brought him back smiled and said:
"Master, you have wrongly blamed me. He asked me to tie him up."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Prince Zhongshun was stunned for a moment, and then he understood Feng Yibo's thoughts.
Then he waved his hand and said: Regret
"Go and find out. If the officers and soldiers arrive, just follow the original plan and pretend to be defeated."
"yes!"
After the man retreated, Prince Zhongshun personally came up to untie Feng Yibo and said:
"Originally, this matter had nothing to do with you, and I didn't want to involve you, but someone said that you were inquiring about the truth nearby, so I asked someone to invite you here."
The rope was tied perfunctorily, and was untied in a few moments.
Feng Yibo flexed his muscles and said with a wry smile:
"This is a big joke today! Aren't you afraid that I will leak it out?" Regret
He had just heard that the other party had plans to retreat. Obviously Prince Zhongshun was not prepared to expose the regicide now.
That's why he asked this question.
The purpose is to test the other party's plan for calling him on this trip.
Facing his temptation, Prince Zhongshun waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile:
"Speaking of which, you came at the right time. On such a big day, I am worried that there is no suitable person to be a witness for this king."
Although Feng Yibo's identity as Prince of Donghai is hidden from the public, he happens to be one of the few people who knows about it.
Since there are shady things, that just offsets the potential risks. regret
"oh?"
When Feng Yibo heard this, his heart suddenly changed.
The big day... still needs to be witnessed...
Considering what they were doing, he could only guess that the other party hadn't killed Emperor Jingshun yet?
Otherwise, what else could he be allowed to witness?
Seeing his expression, Prince Zhongshun thought that the other party had misunderstood that he was going to be harmful to him.
At that moment, he smiled and explained: Regret
"I would like to thank you for being here today. If it weren't for the benefits of your negotiation, how could it be so easy for so many people to give up?"
Having said this, he patted Feng Yibo on the shoulder and said:
"Once the terms of the peace negotiation are announced, we will all be our own people within 20 to 30 years!"
Although the compensation has not yet arrived, Feng Yibo's actions made many people mistakenly believe that the King of Donghai County had joined the newly promoted nobles.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why such huge benefits are so easily distributed to new nobles?
Even if they didn't surrender, the two sides at least formed an alliance.
Especially among the new rich, Prince Zhongshun has already let the wind out. regret
He said that he and the King of Donghai County, who had never met Shenlong, had already met and reached a consensus.
No one knows what the consensus is, but how come other forces don’t know about such a rumor?
Coupled with the fact that the Supreme Emperor is bedridden, the founding lineage may be destroyed at any time.
As time went by, many people secretly fell into the camp of the upstarts.
Even the core of the founding lineage is interested in cooperating.
As Feng Yibo saw a while ago, even the Prince of Beijing County was interested in reconciling with Prince Zhongshun.
To be precise, they even wanted to become Prince Zhongshun's vassals. regret
I hope that after the death of the Supreme Emperor, Prince Zhongshun can carry this banner and protect them under his wings.
Therefore, in these seventy-nine days, Prince Zhongshun's strength has increased several times.
At the same time, the ambition that already existed has skyrocketed.
He is sincerely grateful to Feng Yibo now, and feels that Feng Yibo is already half one of his own.
Prince Zhongshun even felt that as long as he showed his sincerity, it would not be difficult to win over Feng Yibo. It seemed that he was dedicated to serving the country, but in fact it was all selfish. To establish a huge power overseas, he still needed to rely on the Wei Dynasty...
Hero!
But for such a "hero", what he said next made Prince Zhongshun a little confused. regret
Because this "hero" was not obsessed with ambition and hegemony, nor was he concerned about the life and death of Emperor Jingshun.
Instead, he asked first:
"Is my mentor here?"
Feng Yibo did not forget the purpose of his trip.
He could be indifferent to the assassination of the king, but he had to ask about Li Shouzhong's situation.
Prince Zhongshun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said in a dumbfounded voice:
"Don't worry, the old ministers in the court are all being imprisoned together. If your mentor is following the Holy Master, he must be there too." Regret.
In this chaotic situation, Feng Yibo was still a little uneasy and asked again:
"Can you please make sure, Your Majesty, that I'm not here to rescue you, nor am I here to watch the excitement?"
The implication is that he came to see Li Shouzhong.
"I really didn't expect that Prince Donghai is very emotional!"
Although Prince Zhongshun was a little bit dumbfounded, he was also filled with emotion and sighed:
"You came here alone for your mentor. If Erlang hadn't recognized you just now, he would probably have hated you for this, and the majestic King of Donghai County would have become a lonely ghost."
Having said this, he asked somewhat complicatedly: Regret
"Is it worth it?"
It turns out that the person who just brought Feng Yibo back was none other than the "Cold-faced Erlang" Liu Xianglian.
He was ordered to take advantage of the disaster to recruit troops in the two prefectures of Shandong.
The men and horses who assassinated the king today were, as Feng Yibo guessed, horse thieves traveling throughout Shandong.
What he didn't guess was that this band of horse thieves was actually trained by Prince Zhongshun!
As early as when the two prefectures in Shandong were hit by the disaster, Prince Zhongshun had already started to make arrangements.
Speaking of which, this move has been planned for more than two years. regret
Horse bandits can be well trained and come and go like the wind.
It is precisely because the war horses were shipped one after another from Liaodong, and the people who trained them were also experienced knights from the border areas.
Feng Yibo's peace terms only caused more people to defect to Prince Zhongshun.
But even without these factors, everything would have been ready for today's assassination.
When the Supreme Emperor passed away, Emperor Jingshun passed by the Shandong border to pay his funeral in person.
This was also the reason why he had told so many things about the Jia family and his son in Ping'an Mansion before.
But he kept secret about other things in Shandong. regret
With Feng Yibo's interest in negotiating peace, Prince Zhongshun's plan became easier, and he was more certain about his successful ascension to the throne.
It was also because of this that he regarded Feng Yibo as half one of his own.
As for why it was half, it was naturally because of concerns about Donghai County.
But now that the dust has settled, it doesn't matter if a little bit of news is revealed to this half of our own people.
"Some things cannot be measured by whether they are worth it or not."
Feng Yibo smiled and explained:
"Although I am not a gentleman, I do do things and do things I don't do. My mentor treats me like his own son, how can I
Abandon him? "regret
If someone else said this, Prince Zhongshun would only find it ironic.
But that’s what Feng Yibo did!
So as soon as these words came out, Prince Zhongshun couldn't help but re-examine Feng Yibo.
After a long while, he smiled and said loudly:
"Someone is coming!"
Following his call, footsteps sounded outside and stopped in front of the car.
"Master!" Regret
Prince Zhongshun stared at Feng Yibo, as if thinking of something happy, he smiled and shook his head:
"Send someone to see if Li Shouzhong, the Minister of Rites, is among the prisoners. Don't disturb them. Just confirm and report back."
The reason why he smiled was because he felt he had caught Feng Yibo's weakness.
If it were said, it turned out that he was quite worried about Donghai County.
Now I feel that as long as he grasps this, the entire Donghai County can be used for him.
No matter how important Donghai County is, it's not as important as your own life, right?
Then if I let Li Shouzhong be under control, would I indirectly control Donghai County? regret
"yes!"
The people outside responded, and then footsteps sounded, apparently leaving.
After the instructions were given, Prince Zhongshun stood up, picked up a hooded smock, and put on a mask.
"Let's go! Your mentor's matter will be revealed soon. Before that, we have to get down to business first."
Feng Yibo looked at him pretending to be a ghost and tried to say:
"Isn't the prince's affairs already settled? Why are you still so cautious?"
After putting on the mask, Prince Zhongshun seemed to be a different person. regret
Just listen to him say in a sinister tone:
"It can only be said that the dust has settled now, but I still have to send him on his way in person."
Feng Yibo was a little confused and didn't understand why Prince Zhongshun wanted to do it himself.
Just listening to what he meant, it was obvious that he didn't intend to reveal his identity.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be pretending to be a ghost and doing something like this now.
But if that's the case, wouldn't it be better to have Emperor Jingshun killed directly?
Why do you have to do it yourself, or even ask yourself to bear this witness? regret
The Dragon Scale Guards were the eyes and ears of the emperor, and such organizations were handed over to Prince Zhongshun.
If the hatred between the two brothers was so deep, then why did Emperor Jingshun trust him so much?
A series of questions jumped out in Feng Yibo's mind.
Prince Zhongshun seems not to want to bury his masterpiece.
In addition to being a witness, he seemed to be someone to talk to.
I saw him opening the car door and lifting the curtain while saying:
"Besides, even if you kill him, it won't be a full success. It can't be revealed that I did it yet." Regret.
"oh?"
Feng Yibo's heart moved and he had a bad suspicion.
Prince Zhongshun assassinated Emperor Jingshun, obviously for the throne.
In other words, besides Emperor Jingshun, there is another obstacle...
Prince Zhongshun was seen holding the car curtain with one hand, and a beam of sunlight just fell on his mask.
In the half-darkness, the expressionless mask revealed a hint of weirdness.
Just listen to Prince Zhongshun sneer under the mask and add: Regret
"Isn't there still my good nephew in the palace?"
