Fairy, Please Let Me Explain

Chapter 727 Aoi's Northern Hunt

In a place unknown to most people, the war has already begun.

The scouts fought, the soldiers roared, mountains of flesh and blood were piled up, and blood flowed like rivers. It was like the collision of military formations that made the heaven and earth hang upside down, and countless fresh lives withered and withered in an instant.

But at the origin of this war,

The center of power in Dayan,

The solemn atmosphere among the three old men quickly subsided.

Just because the prime minister left a line.

Although Xu Yinhe put the war that was happening quietly on the table, he did not reveal the name of the person who brazenly sent troops.

Maybe it's patience, maybe it's giving in.

But no matter which one it is, it shows that the Prime Minister does not want to break the relationship now, and temporarily talks while fighting, limiting the war to Xizezhou, which is also in line with everyone's short-term expectations.

Under the drag of the nine-headed earth dragon, the majestic Emperor's Palace slowly drove into the destination. The non-returning army guarding the whole road stopped the military formation outside the Huanglong Forest. The golden-armored imperial army stationed at the hunting ground He took over the responsibility of guarding.

Riding a strange beast that looked like a wild animal, Li Zhaoyuan, who was dressed in a python robe, looked calmly at the distant land palace and the ink mountain forest shrouded in vast mist, and his voice was full of reminiscence:

"This hunting ground really hasn't changed at all."

The general in front, wearing heavy armor and military uniform, leading Li Zhaoyuan's horse, looked back in surprise when he heard this:

"His Highness should not have been more than 10 years old at that time, but he still remembers it?"

Li Zhaoyuan looked at the misty mountains and forests, his eyes seemed to penetrate time, and he smiled and murmured:

"I also want to forget, but I can't forget. I can't forget the scene when my mother-in-law and I were humiliated by the emperor and empress here under the imperial dragon banner."

The general withdrew his gaze upon hearing this and whispered in a deep voice:

"Since Your Highness led the army, the Queen must have had a difficult time, especially in the past three days, the vicious woman must be on tenterhooks."

When the emperor traveled before the deadline, he did not use the Imperial Guard to escort him, but instead let the second prince lead the army. This was already an extremely obvious political signal.

"The world is still uncertain, so don't make false claims."

Li Zhaoyuan's voice suppressed his smile and said with profound meaning: "My eldest brother, the Emperor, just met the Third Young Master a few days ago, and the Third Young Master seems to really dislike seeing me."

The words fell,

Li Zhaoyuan waved his hand to interrupt the general's unspoken words:

"Osama, let's change the formation."

".yes."

As the military orders were passed, there was no bustling conversation among the ranks, and the soldiers in dense formation began to change formations in silence.

In addition to the Chinese army surrounding the formation, tens of thousands of soldiers dispersed efficiently and quickly to the surrounding areas, surrounding the Emperor Dragon Hunting Ground in a siege formation.

When the formation change was over, the emperor's palace was completely hidden in the vast Huanglong Mountain Forest. Li Zhaoyuan's starry eyes, which had been as calm as before, finally had a trace of emotion, and he murmured in a low voice:

"Today should be the day when my father makes a decision, so we must prepare in advance."

"The Wugui Army has changed its formation."

Under the yellow umbrella, looking at the waves rising behind due to the change of formations, Ran Jianli touched his stubble and said with a smile: "Ran doesn't know military formations. Prime Minister, can you help me see what formation this is?" "?"

"Is the Imperial Master worried about Zhao Yuan?"

Before Xu Yinhe could speak, Li Yaoxuan raised his drooped eyelids slightly and stared at Ran Jianli with a meaningful smile in his eyes: "With the cultivation of the national master, if you can't break this military formation, can't you still escape?"

Ran Jianli's face twitched.

He never thought that Li Yaoxuan's words would be so direct.

But then I thought about the fact that the other party's deadline was imminent, and it seemed that there was really no need to cover up anymore, so he replied angrily:

"Your Majesty, you really know how to joke. With such a large military formation, the three of us together can barely break it, right?"

Speaking of which,

Ran Jianli suddenly asked back:

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the hunt for Concubine Qin in the north?"

Concubine Qin, the mother of Li Zhaoyuan.

Li Yaoxuan recalled for a moment, his turbid eyes subconsciously glanced at the flat land on the west side of the palace, and said softly:

"The national master refers to Guiwei Beishou thirty years ago?"

Ran Jianli smiled and nodded:

"It was the Northern Hunt in which His Highness the Second Prince won the first prize."

In an extraordinary world, top-level dignitaries must practice martial arts. Even those emerging centuries-old sects have a complete system of martial arts examinations for their descendants, and Xunshou is one of the examinations that the royal family conducts for their princes.

When Kuai Wei was hunting in the north, Prince Zhaoyuan came out on top with a crushing force at the age of 18. The emperor and the empress were jealous and made their mother and concubine serve tea in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to show their "closeness". Later, the emperor gave his mother and son a The clan's flags are used to greet you, but if you don't hear the trace, you can't afford it.

Kneeling in front of the royal family banner is a reward for a commoner prince, but usually after three kowtows and nine bows, he can stand up and confer royal awards.

And the queen's words, "Zhao Yuan is so graceful, the clans must be happy, and sincerely bow, there will be a response if you think about it", which directly made the mother and son kneel in front of the clan banner for ten days. After the Northern Hunting, Li Zhaoyuan, mother and son, went together. was taken back to the palace.

Thinking of this, Li Yaoxuan's expression did not change at all:

"I remember that time in Beishou. It was not easy for Zhaoyuan to fulfill his filial piety in front of the court."

"Do you show your filial piety in front of the court?"

Ran Jianli glanced at the Wugui Army Formation, shook his head, and said:

"Your Majesty, Ran remembers that the empress also sent the second prince to Jingshu Palace for seven years."

The end of Guiwei Northern Hunting is not the end of the race for the top spot, but just the beginning.

After returning to the palace, the Empress said, "You have not sincerely bowed to the ancestors, so continue kneeling." She then sent Li Zhaoyuan and his mother to the cold palace, set up a royal flag in the courtyard, and asked them to continue kneeling.

The high and mighty Empress only needed to say a few words, but it was like a mountain to Qin Fei, who was born as a maid, and Li Zhaoyuan, who was born out of wedlock.

Li Zhaoyuan and Qin Fei kneeled for seven years.

Seven years was the upper limit.

Because the royal family sent people to make Li Zhaoyuan a king.

He had to leave the palace when he turned sixteen.

During these seven years,

the cold palace without any source of Qi made Li Zhaoyuan's cultivation stagnate.

Qin Fei, who had a shallow cultivation, almost died several times because of kneeling for many years.

And all of this,

Li Yaoxuan just watched quietly.

Thinking of this,

Ran Jianli looked directly into Li Yaoxuan's eyes, chuckled and asked:

"With such an experience, Your Majesty, aren't you worried that the Second Prince can't even fulfill his filial piety in front of the hall?"

"National Master, he won't worry."

Xu Yinhe suddenly interrupted at this time, his tone calm: "If the Second Prince has the ability to kill his father here, he will be very happy.

"Am I right, Your Majesty?"

"."

The air was silent for a moment.

When the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects began to collapse, all the words began to become more direct.

Li Yaoxuan's old and withered face gradually revealed a smile, and his thin figure trembled slightly because of his low smile. He raised his eyes with a touch of complexity, staring at his old friend, and said with a smile:

"Sure enough, Yinhe, you understand me the best."

Xu Yinhe didn't express anything extra, and asked expressionlessly:

"So, Your Majesty, are you ready for him to kill his father?"

Li Yaoxuan pondered for a while and didn't deny:

"I did some, but there are some things that even I can't do anything about. "

"If the Second Prince really has this intention, he will definitely take these things into consideration."

"You have a high opinion of Zhao Yuan."

"No, that is based on the premise that the Second Prince really dares to do it."

Xu Yinhe shook his head, glanced at the scattered military formations on the horizon, and said:

"But looking at the formation of the military formation, the Second Prince should be waiting for your decision, Your Majesty."

How could Li Yaoxuan not understand this, and sighed softly:

"Maybe if I make a decision earlier, maybe he won't have to wait for me anymore, but ah."
