In March, of course the peach blossoms will bloom.

But what does this have to do with the danger of Li Chenan going to Shuzhou?

Xiao Baozi couldn't understand it, and Amu and others certainly couldn't understand it either.

Li Chenan understood a little, but couldn't believe it.

Yang Sixian didn't explain. He didn't know how to explain it, because he also had some vague guesses. He was also unbelievable.

"These are the exact words Xi Wei asked me to convey to you. As for the deep meaning in it... I don't know."

"I only know that if there is one person in this world who doesn't want you to die, he must be Xi Wei!"

Li Chenan couldn't understand it.

Yang Sixian said calmly: "Although Xi Wei is in darkness, he has been pursuing light all his life, and you are the light he is looking for!"

"Ning Guo finally has a light in the dark night. Of course he will carefully protect the light from being swallowed up by the night."

"He was not related to you originally, but because of you, he did not attack the imperial city, and even handed the country that was within his reach into your hands."

"As for the reasons, there are many, but one of those reasons must be that he values ​​your talent very much...not poetry, but your thoughts on governing the country!"

"He should have many ideological resonances with you."

"He is old, and he has placed his lifelong expectations on you... You can understand that he does it for the inheritance of that ideal, or you can understand that he thinks you can realize what he wants."

"Of course, now he doesn't want you to die even more."

When Yang Sixian said this, he turned to look at Xiao Baozi, and his eyes fell on Li Chenan's face again.

"He is Miss Xiao's father. As a parent in the world, of course he hopes that his daughter will have a good home. He does not want his daughter to be a widow!"

"Back to Kyoto, he will resolve the matter in Shuzhou!"

Xiao Baozi trembled in his heart, but Li Chenan frowned:

"How does he solve it?"

"...Maybe he can drink a pot of wine and chop off a mountain of peach blossoms!"

Li Chenan stood up and said, "Tell him, if Zhongli Ruoshui loses a hair... I will not let him go!"

Yang Sixian actually nodded his head simply and said one word: "Okay"

Xi Wei would never kill Zhong Li Ruoshui.

Because of Zhongli Ruoshui's cold disease, he would definitely die without him taking action!

Yang Sixian asked again:

"Are you still going to Shuzhou?"

Li Chenan also threw a word to Yang Sixian: "Yes!"

He took Xiao Baozi and others out of an inn, and Yang Sixian drank a pot of tea alone.

Suddenly he shook his head and smiled, "It's all as you expected... the word love is the prison!"

…

…

The fog gradually faded.

Li Chenan and his party left Fengxian County and walked into Wufanyuan.

An Zizai led the 500 warriors from the Tiger Battalion, and Zhou Zheng also led the 500 warriors from the Xuanjia Battalion. They had reached the middle of Wushan Plain.

They stood on the official road that passed through Wufanyuan.

There was not a single business traveler on this official road from Fengxian County to the Yangtze River Crossing.

As early as a few days ago, when Commander Xie Jing gathered here with the government soldiers from Jiangnan Road, he had already sent people to seal off the Hengjiang Crossing.

The huge Five Fans originally had only white fog and white snow.

Thousands of people are just dumped here, without much presence, without much sense of existence.

But that's not the case a few miles to the northwest.

Thirty thousand elite border troops led by Xia Houzhuo at the northern foot of Maple Leaf Mountain have broken camp and set off.

I listened to Xi Wei’s analysis last night.

In the middle of the night, Xie Jingzhen, the commander of the imperial army, arrived.

I chatted with Xie Jing until dawn.

He finally gave up the last trace of worry in his heart and decided to leave Maple Leaf Mountain and join Xie Jing's troops. Regardless of whether Li Chenan was in Feng County or not, the army must move forward!

Standing on the mountainside of Maple Leaf Mountain, the morning breeze was blowing and the cold was biting. Xia Houzhuo, who had not slept all night last night, was now full of energy.

Standing half a step behind him was You Zhu, an aide who had been following him for many years. He was an old man over fifty years old.

At this moment, You Zhu was looking at the 30,000 soldiers who were about to assemble. He was still a little worried and couldn't help but say:

"General, if you take this step, you can never take it back!"

Xia Houzhuo nodded: "Actually, when we leave Yanyunguan, we can no longer take it back."

"...I still have a few questions in my mind."

"You asked."

"His Royal Highness...really didn't commit suicide by hanging?"

"No! Your Highness was murdered."

"In order for Li Chenan to become the emperor of Ning State, he must eliminate all obstacles in front of him. There is no doubt that the existence of His Highness the Crown Prince is the biggest obstacle to him ascending the throne as emperor!"

The eyes on Xia Houzhuo's pitch-black square face suddenly condensed and he said again:

"Poor His Highness, his heart is so kind, he even regards Li Chenan as a confidant!"

"He doesn't know how dangerous the human heart is. In the face of huge interests, there is no confidant!"

You Zhu pondered for a moment, "But Li Chenan did not ascend the throne as emperor!"

"You are wrong, this is the most cunning thing about Li Chenan!"

"Do you think he is really going to Shuzhou to bring back that emperor's eldest son?"

Xia Houzhuo shook his head, "If the eldest son of the emperor really exists and is really in Shuzhou... he will definitely die!"

"Even if the former emperor includes the eldest son, he only has four sons. The prince died in the East Palace, the second prince died in Shuangjiao Mountain, the eldest son died in Shuzhou, and there is only one third prince left in the palace!"

"Concubine Li is smart and knows how to be patient. From the beginning to the end, she never let the third prince show up to steal some of the limelight... The third prince Xu Neng left the capital and died a good death."

"Don't forget that Li Chen'an also has the title of the emperor's eldest son. Although the late emperor did not declare it to the world, he can use this title to legitimately ascend the throne and become emperor."

"No one can threaten him."

"Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. When he becomes the emperor, he can establish his own golden title and become the eldest son of the emperor who no one dares to question... From now on, he will be firmly on the throne, and the injustice of His Highness the Crown Prince will no longer be redressed.

Representation.”

Xia Houzhuo took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness treats me with great kindness, but I am unwilling to accept it!"

You Zhu thought for a moment, "This old guy Xi Wei..."

"He originally wanted to cause trouble to the Ning State, and what I am doing now is also to cause trouble to the Ning State, so there is no need to question his words."

"He just wanted to kill Li Chenan with the help of my general's sword and plunge Ningguo into chaos again!"

When Xiahou Zhuo said this, You Zhu had nothing to say.

"But the general cannot trust Xie Jing completely."

Xia Houzhuo waved his hand, "Xie Jing is committing rebellion by raising his troops!"

"Since ancient times, the crime of rebellion has not been forgiven."

"Jiangnan Road has now fallen into the hands of Li Xiaothief. Xie Jing... has no choice but to retreat and join us in rebellion!"

"But...I'm going to say something that I shouldn't have said. If Yujing City is not captured...will we really go to Shuzhou?"

Xia Houzhuo raised his eyes and looked at the mighty army coming out of the mountain.

The corner of his mouth curled up, but he didn't reply to You Zhu's question. He sneered, put the long knife on his back, and got on the horse:

"Go, kill that little thief!"
