Early the next morning, a short arrow shot into his room and stabbed firmly on the table. Dongfang Ye took off the note at the end of the arrow. There were only a few words on the paper, 'Wei Shi, five miles outside the city.
pond.'
Dongfang Ye's eyes were full of sinister sharpness, and the sneer on his lips spread: "You really... don't know whether to live or die."
Most people think that Dongfang Ye is easy to bully. He is just relying on the power of the Dongfang family and the emperor's love. However, they don't know that usually the more seemingly harmless people become angry, it will
No one can resist it.
Just like Dongfang Ye at this time, the evil in his eyes overflowed, adding an evil charm to his handsome appearance. The God of Death has always been hidden in the darkness. Once the God of Death stands in the sun, it means
, destruction is coming.
Ling Xuan insisted on accompanying Dongfang Ye on a trip, which Lu Ming specifically took care of. He said that Dongfang Ye was a person who liked to push through, and Liu Yun's disappearance was too serious. He would follow and search around the clock, and his body would definitely suffer.
Something happened, so he asked Ling Xuan to stay with him and give him medicine as soon as his old illness relapsed.
However, Dongfang Ye felt that Lu Ming was really making a fuss out of a molehill. He knew his own body very well, but it was just an old problem that wouldn't kill anyone for a while. What's more, he had stayed in Linyang City for a while and was well cared for.
, returning to the capital this time is just like returning to the way it was before, and it is not as serious as he said.
Regarding Dongfang Ye's physical condition, Ling Xuan and Lu Ming were absolutely in agreement. Ling Xuan would pay special attention to whatever Lu Ming said. Ignoring Dongfang Ye's objections, he and Dongfang Ye rode horses five miles outside the city.
pond.
Wulitang is a very small village outside the city. It only takes a moment to walk from the street to the end of the street. There are not many villagers in Wulitang. Most of the young and strong people go to the capital to work, leaving only a few young ones.
and older people, the village is not considered poor, but it has never become rich.
The two of them arrived at Wulitang not long after. There was only one inn where they could rest in Wulitang. They went to the inn to have something to eat early when they saw the time. Both Dongfang Ye and Ling Xuan were sensitive, and they always felt that this day's
There is something strange about Wulitang, it is so quiet that it is eerie.
"Are you two from the capital?" Suddenly a man approached them. He was dressed in simple clothes and looked similar to the villagers of Wulitang.
However, Dongfang Ye could tell that this man was not a villager from Wulitang, because he wore a pair of finely crafted shoes. Although only one toe was exposed after being covered by a long robe, it was enough for Dongfang Ye to tell.
"We are here to find someone." Ling Xuan smiled gently at the visitor, without showing any chill, but as gentle as the original Master Ling Xuan.
"You two, please come with me." The visitor nodded slightly towards them, turned around and left.
Dongfang Ye and Ling Xuan looked at each other, stood up decisively and followed them. This man had steady steps and was obviously a practicing master.
"Please come in." They walked to the end of Wulitang, and a simple house came into view. Although it was simple, it was still much more sophisticated than other houses in Wulitang. The house was surrounded by fences.
It was just an ordinary wooden house, but Dongfang Ye could tell at a glance that this wooden house was unusual. At least these wooden boards were not a small price. How could the people in Wulitang afford such a house?
The person who brought them stood outside the door and closed the door after they entered. There was a person sitting in the room. Just by looking at his back, he knew who it was.
"Prince An, you are well." Dongfang Ye said calmly, without any surprise in his tone, but as if he was expecting it.
The person with his back to them heard the sound and turned around.
How to describe King An? He is about the same age as the emperor, but his temperament is completely different from the emperor, or should be said to be completely different from what he does. He even looks somewhat similar to Ling Xuan, both of whom seem to linger.
An expert outside the world, especially when he talks with a slight smile, does not look like someone who is blinded by the power of the world.
"I have always wanted to meet you before, but you kept saying that you didn't have time. I didn't expect that this meeting would be under such circumstances." King An smiled, but there was no murderous look. He looked gentle and friendly, not at all.
The appearance of rebelling against the prince.
"We don't agree with each other. I can only be grateful that Prince An fell in love with me by mistake." Dongfang Ye was not one to mince words, and he clearly defined his position as soon as he opened his mouth.
Such directness made King An raise his eyebrows. He didn't expect Dongfang Ye to be such a person. It was beyond his expectation.
"A few years ago, I noticed that there was a powerful person around the emperor. I sent many people to investigate, but I never got the exact information. To be honest, I was surprised when I found out that person was you, but
After being surprised, I felt relieved. Only the young Marquis of the Dongfang family, who is critically ill, can do things secretly and secretly without arousing suspicion." The smile on King An's lips did not shrink, and there was no calculation or scheming in his eyes when he looked at Dongfang Ye.
Conspiracy, but like the elders looking at the younger ones.
But Dongfang Ye knows that King An has never been such a gentle person on the surface. Some people are ruthless on the surface, but some people are ruthless in their bones. King An is such a person. Even if he looks gentle on the surface, he is still ruthless in his bones.
The callousness of not leaving.
"You are a talent, but it's a pity that you are with the wrong person." King An did not hold back at all, and said with a generous smile, "In the past few years, we have been fighting wits and courage in the court, but your emperor has been watching with cold eyes. I have to
My imperial brother is really a powerful character. He can eat up all my power without doing anything. He is really lucky to get your help."
"My allegiance is to the Ling Kingdom." Dongfang Ye has always thought like this in his heart. He has done so many things for the people and the Ling Kingdom. Because the emperor is a benevolent king, he will stand in front of him and try his best to help.
He maintained the reputation of a benevolent king. The reputation of a benevolent king requires the joint efforts of countless people, and he is just one of them.
Dongfang Ye's words made King An sneer: "09 Renjun? He's just a hypocrite with false feelings."
Dongfang Ye did not comment on what King An said. The grudges between King An and the emperor were probably unclear to both of them, but one thing he was sure of was that the two brothers had been fighting for the position of prince since they were young.
Fighting for the throne, even though the emperor has been firmly on the throne for several years, King An still has not given up the idea of fighting for the throne.
I just don't know whether this move to seize the throne is because he wants the throne, or because of his obsession with fighting for so many years. Because he has been losing, he wants to win once.
Even if the chance of winning is slim, it is better than losing forever.
