After exhausting myself to death

Luo Xiuyuan, who was far away in the water town of Jiangnan, received the news earlier than the emperor.

His people also wrote a letter in detail about Zhuo Feichen's attitude towards Luo Xiuqi, saying that since Zhu Xing was dead, all the senior military attaches in the Zhenbei Army had been reorganized, and military power was firmly in Zhuo Feichen's hands.

Zhuo Feichen respected King Rui so much that he had to guard against him.

If Zhuo Feichen really chooses to help Luo Xiuqi seize the throne, then at least his military strength is enough to suppress Luo Xiuyuan.

The Zhenbei Army is Zhuo Feichen's Zhenbei Army, but the trapped camp is not just Gu Chenglin's trapped camp.

"General Zhuo really wants to support King Rui?" Chang Mao looked complicated.

Growing up in a military camp, he has a different affection for soldiers, and Zhuo Feichen is his idol.

So Zhuo Feichen can't be wrong. What is wrong is Shen Minghuan, the devil who confuses people's hearts!

"Why is Shen Che like this? He wasn't so dedicated when helping His Highness." Chang Mao knew that Luo Xiuyuan didn't like him slandering Shen Minghuan, so he just complained in a low voice.

He felt that if Shen Minghuan also helped Luo Xiuyuan like this, his Highness's position must be impregnable, and he might have already ascended the throne.

Luo Xiuyuan was also a little worried. He thought he had done well enough. Recently, he seemed to have received divine help and everything went smoothly.

It's a pity that he is still not as good as Shen Minghuan.

As expected of Shen Minghuan!

Luo Xiuyuan's expression was calm. He would not show his uneasiness in front of his subordinates. He said, "Ming Huan is free. He can do whatever he wants and help whomever he wants."

Chang Mao said no more and lowered his head slightly.

Although he doesn't agree with it, he will always be moved by His Highness's reason and purity.

In Chang Mao's heart, Luo Xiuyuan is the most beautiful and noble person in the world. He is compassionate and gentle to all living beings like an immortal in the sky.

After Chang Mao retreated, "Immortal" Luo Xiuyuan looked at the scenery of the yard in ecstasy.

There is no snow in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the leaves are still green, which is quite a sight. No wonder Luo Xiuyuan is so focused and focused.

But if you look closely, you will find that Luo Xiuyuan's eyes are unfocused and he is obviously in a daze.

After a long time, he cursed bitterly into the air, "Shen Che, you bastard!"

Three months ago, as Luo Xiuqi continued to show his prominence, the emperor's murderous intention towards Luo Xiuyuan became more and more intense, reaching the point of tearing his face.

It was a frame-up at first. The emperor had just produced the evidence and was about to get angry. The next second, the evidence proving Luo Xiuyuan's innocence appeared out of thin air.

Then there was another assassination. The experienced assassin actually fell from the roof and hit a stone.

Both parties were very confused about this, but upon closer inspection, they could only find out that it was all a coincidence.

After the victory on the front line, the emperor noticed his child's extraordinary performance, while Luo Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief for Zhuo Feichen.

To this day, he no longer has to worry about General Zhuo's reputation. In order to show favor and enhance his prestige, Luo Xiuqi will definitely find a way to completely wash away the stigma on General Zhuo.

But Luo Xiuyuan still had a confession in his hand.

That was the confession of Mr. Liu from Pingyao County.

Luo Xiuyuan copied it carefully and submitted it to the emperor. He wrote that there were many doubts about the case of General Zhuo's defeat and asked for permission to go to Jiangnan to investigate the case.

Pingyao is in the north, opposite to Jiangnan.

Luo Xiuyuan's intention was very clear, either let him leave the capital or make this evidence public.

This deal just stuck on the emperor's bottom line. If Luo Xiuyuan wanted it, another emperor might not give it to him, but letting him go was in line with the emperor's wishes.

The emperor didn't believe that there was any coincidence in this world that was completely towards Luo Xiuyuan. He was the destiny. If there was such a thing as luck, it should be towards him.

Luo Xiuyuan is a very evil person. Even if you leave the capital, don't come back again!

Luo Xiuyuan also had no choice but to do so.

Of course he knew that leaving the capital would be detrimental to future deployments, and he also knew that presenting the confession would make the emperor even more fearful.

But, what else can be done? His father really wanted him dead, so he would kill him by any means necessary.

The capital is the emperor's territory, and he is constantly being framed and assassinated.

He is also a human being. He saw the sudden increase in letters liaising with Kou in the study, saw the assassins and sharp daggers suddenly falling from the roof, and saw...

He will also be afraid.

The emperor has almost lost the support of the people. He is arbitrary and authoritarian. Anyone who raises objections to the ministers in the court is either demoted or killed. As a result, he has strong control over the capital, but has few available people in the local area.

The local officials were either Luo Xiuyuan's confidants or Qu Zhengcheng's friends, or at worst they were people who admired the former prince's character.

After Luo Xiuyuan finished cursing, he looked out the window and thought about his next plan facing the mountains and rivers filled with white mist.

As for Yanling, no matter how many disadvantages there are in Jiangnan, at least it is safe here.

At least the scenery here is picturesque.

Luo Xiuyuan sighed, but he had to go back.

He knew before that he could not threaten the emperor for long. After the emperor erased all the evidence and ensured that nothing would happen to Luo Xiuqi, he would definitely call him back to the capital.

Yanling is the emperor's territory. Only when he returns to Yanling can the emperor take action.

In the carriage, Shen Minghuan frequently opened the curtains and turned to look behind him. For some reason, he always felt like someone was talking about him behind his back.

"Mr. Shen, is there anything wrong?" Li Chengzhuo refused to stay in his own carriage and insisted on riding in the same carriage with him. At this moment, seeing Shen Minghuan keep looking back, he couldn't help but become vigilant.

Ever since he heard Zhuo Feichen call Shen Minghuan that way one time, he followed suit. As the "enemy general" targeted by his husband, Li Chengzhuo was most aware of Shen Minghuan's terrifying features. Seeing him in a state of incomprehensible depression at this moment, he heightened the seriousness of the matter to an extremely high level.

Being followed? Or was he ambushed? Who is the other party? Is he the target? Could it be related to Kou State?

Shen Minghuan murmured: "I have a very bad feeling..."

After hearing this, Li Chengzhuo felt relieved. He said nonchalantly: "What we are going to do is to walk on the abyss. We are not afraid of Sir's jokes. I have never had a good night's sleep since the situation changed."

People can always let down their guard in the face of beings more powerful than themselves. He had no one to tell these things before, but now he blurts it out without any worries: "I even started to be afraid of sleeping. Every time I fell asleep, I would have the same dream. ”

"In the dream, Mengshan was lost, and even the moon was blood red. My people were displaced, crying and shouting, asking me why I didn't save them, but I couldn't answer..."

"Then I'll wake up from my dream."

He smiled self-deprecatingly: "Did you know? The peace of Mengshan depends on Lilan, and the peace and prosperity of Lilan cannot be separated from Mengshan."

"Mengshan is Li Lan's glory and bottom line. I can't take a step back."

However, he could no longer hold on.

Shen Minghuan sighed with pity, "Have you ever considered surrendering?"

"Absolutely!" Li Chengzhuo's eyes were firm: "Before the death of the royal family, the Lilan people will not be slaves."

He looked at Shen Minghuan and said calmly: "Besides, I will not surrender to anyone except my father."

There is no doubt that Li Chengzhuo was proud. He was willing to offer his loyalty to Emperor Li, not out of admiration, but out of filial piety.

He was born with a missing piece of his spine and it would not bend due to anyone or anything.

Shen Minghuan reminded him expressionlessly: "You are going to Qi Dynasty to be a proton now."

The implication is that if you are willing to do such a shameful thing, don't think so highly of yourself and talk about dignity.

Li Chengzhuo laughed dumbly: "That's different. If it's for Li Lan, Li Chengzhuo can do anything. And..."

He was serious and said the most serious words in a joking tone: "Am I going to be a proton? I am obviously doing it to cooperate with your husband's plan. Please, sir, please give Li Lan a way out for the sake of my dedication. "

"Did you misunderstand something?" Shen Minghuan frowned: "I don't want to be the emperor."

"You don't have to hide it from me." Li Chengzhuo looked confident. Although he admitted that he was not as good as Shen Minghuan, he was still not able to see such an obvious thing.

"The so-called twelve boxes of treasures are the most powerful gunpowder for your and our armies; the so-called guards accompanying me on the march are the most elite soldiers in Lilan; the two carriages at the back are not filled with the ancient books you collected, but various All kinds of magical weapons.”

"With these things in Yanling, it should be easy to win the throne."

Shen Minghuan opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute. He said distressedly: "But I really don't have this idea. At most, I just want to be a rebellious minister?"

Li Chengzhuo had it written all over his face: I believed it, I was just pretending.

He sighed: "The general trend of the world must be united after being divided for a long time. Perhaps only the unification of Kou, Lilan, and Daqi can end this troubled world."

"Sir, I have a hunch that you will be the one."

Shen Minghuan waved the folding fan leisurely, "I also have a hunch, but your hunch will only be half correct."

He will be the one to end the troubled times, but he will never be the one to unify the world and lead everyone into a prosperous age.

However, speaking of premonitions…

Shen Minghuan turned his head and looked back again, and murmured in a low voice: "I always feel like someone is scolding me..."

In the carriage at the front, Luo Xiuqi was writing with excitement, regardless of the bumps.

He, Luo Xiuqi, is not an ungrateful person and should thank him properly.

The gentleman has a noble character, and gold and silver must be disdainful. It just so happens that he knows that there is something that will definitely suit his mind.

Now that he has returned with a great victory, his father will not disagree with this small request.

In this way, when your husband comes home and is exhausted both physically and mentally from the journey, you can open the door and receive a surprise from him.

Sir will be very happy.

Shen Minghuan just raised his eyebrows when he received the news that Luo Xiuqi had sent a letter to the emperor.

Luo Xiuqi was surrounded by his people, and he already knew what was written in the letter before it was sent. Seeing that there was nothing that needed attention, Shen Minghuan waved his hand and asked someone to send the letter out intact.

He didn't know that this unremarkable letter was the source of his bad premonition.
