Even if Shen Yuyu knew the plot, the original book didn't mention much about the preparations for the villain, and she didn't know how much preparation Fei Yanche had made.
What Shen Yuyu didn't know was that not long ago, Fei Yanche had secretly sought out General Xiangnan.
It borders Liang State in the south. There is peace between the two countries, and Liang State has frequent exchanges, so that the southern border is also very prosperous.
The west side of the Wei Dynasty is different from here. It was originally the place guarded by King Wu Ding.
King Wuding's family was recalled to the capital, where the family of the fourth prince's ancestral family also took over.
The people who took over the Western Territory had never fought in a war and could not withstand the barbarian invasion.
Nowadays, those barbarians know that King Wu Ding is not here and often send troops to test and provoke. The people there are also miserable.
But now the old emperor's body is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and he can't even control his own son.
The fourth prince's maternal family also concealed the invasion of the Western Territory and refused to report it.
The group of soldiers who surrounded King Wu Ding were suppressed because they obeyed the new generals.
When Fei Yanche found General Xiangnan in private, he put all the information that his men had gathered on the head of the fourth prince for him to see.
Since she is the fourth prince's maternal family, it is not an exaggeration to blame him for what they did.
Moreover, the Fourth Prince cannot be said to be completely innocent for the things they did.
Fei Yanche naturally blamed these mistakes on him, with the purpose of attracting Qi Wenzhen to his camp.
In the dream, Qi Wenzhen was able to stand in his camp in the end, not only because of his friendship with King Wu Ding.
What's more, he was so disappointed with the royal family that he took the risk of choosing Fei Yanche's path.
On that day, Fei Yanche came to the General Xiangnan Mansion uninvited late at night.
Qi Wenzhen was working in the study. The oil lamp in the room flickered on and off, and a figure appeared.
As a military commander guarding one side, Qi Wenzhen was naturally good at martial arts. He picked up the sword beside the table and fought with the attacker.
The person who came to visit late at night was Fei Yanche.
The candlelight in the room was bright and dim, and within a moment, the two people had fought hundreds of rounds.
After a while, Fei Yanche and Qi Wenzhen took back their weapons at the same time and stood two meters apart.
Qi Wenzhen had only seen Fei Yanche when he was a child, and was able to recognize him during the fight because Fei Yanche looked so similar to King Wu Ding as an adult.
Qi Wenzhen excitedly walked two steps forward with his weapon in hand: "Nephew Che?"
Fei Yanche put the sword back into its scabbard and performed a junior salute.
"Uncle Qi, long time no see."
The news of Fei Yanche's murder and unknown whereabouts was known to everyone in the Wei Dynasty, and Qi Wenzhen was no exception.
Upon hearing Fei Yanche's answer, Qi Wenzhen knew that this was really him.
He casually placed the weapon on the table, and there was an echo from the collision of the iron tool with the table.
He took two steps forward and stood in front of Fei Yanche. When he saw that he was not injured, he raised his big hand and put it on Fei Yanche's shoulder and patted her twice hard.
"Just stay alive! Just stay alive!"
"When did you run into the boundary here? Do you know that the capital is looking for you?"
"Where have you been these past few months? Why haven't there been any news at all? I thought you were dead."
"Let's not talk about this. Your father and I can't see each other often. Since you have come to my uncle's place, you can stay here for a while. When I send a letter to the capital tomorrow, they will know that you are still alive. .”
Seeing that Fei Yanche could survive to this point, Qi Wenzhen was also very surprised, and he mumbled a lot when he opened his mouth.
Fei Yanche followed him and sat down across the table.
He said in a deep voice: "I came here a few days ago, but I have been chased a few days ago. I was injured and it was difficult to move around. That's why I didn't come to visit my uncle. Uncle, don't blame me."
Naturally, Qi Wenzhen would not blame him for this trivial matter, but he still said in shock: "Chasing! What's going on? Who is chasing you?"
Qi Wenzhen's hand grasped the handle of the knife again, as if Fei Yanche was going to go out and fight for a reason.
Fei Yanche didn't say who was chasing him, but instead talked about things in the Western Region.
After listening to what Fei Yanche said, Qi Wenzhen's angry mood calmed down.
He looked at Fei Yanche and said in a hesitant tone: "You mean, those people who are chasing you might be from the capital?"
Fei Yanche said bluntly: "He is from the imperial court."
Since he wanted to win over Qi Wenzhen, Fei Yanche would not hide this.
Only when he sees the fate of those who risked their lives for the royal family will he be able to shake his belief.
In the dream, Fei Yanche, who had worked with Qi Wenzhen for a lifetime, knew very well what kind of person Qi Wenzhen was.
Qi Wenzhen fell silent, and after half a cup of tea, he spoke again: "Did nephew Che misunderstand?"
Fei Yanche shook his head and dropped another bombshell.
"Before the capital called us back to the capital, my father received invitations from different princes."
"I wonder if Uncle Qi knows that because the emperor's uncle is seriously ill, the officials in Beijing are urging him to establish a crown prince."
"My father and Uncle Huang have a deep brotherly relationship. Naturally, they would not take sides when Uncle Huang is seriously ill and has not yet established a crown prince. Then we received a decree calling our whole family back to Beijing."
"And the nephew is unwilling to return to the capital because the father and the others were not simply recalled to the capital. Now the nephew's father, queen and mother are imprisoned in the palace, and his sister is also trapped in the palace..."
King Wu Ding and the current emperor had a friendship that they had grown up with, and they did not hesitate to side with him before he succeeded to the throne.
That's why Fei Yanche was able to call him "Uncle Huang", and they also received divine grace. All their families were in the Western Region without leaving hostages in the capital.
But he still did not escape the fate of being jealous of the emperor after his great achievements.
For a general like Qi Wenzhen with a heavy army, he would have to leave hostages in the capital to guard a certain area.
Those left in the Qi family in Beijing are Qi Wenzhen’s eldest son and Qi Wenyong’s second son.
Qi Wenzhen looked at Fei Yanche and said solemnly: "What do you mean?"
Fei Yanche asked with a smile: "Uncle Qi should understand that the emperor is at the end of his life, but he has never established a prince, so the princes in the capital must want to compete for that position."
"My nephew would like to ask my uncle in advance whether he already has a candidate in mind."
Qi Wenzhen pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.
He was thinking about the purpose of Fei Yanche suddenly coming to his house tonight.
He has been missing for so long and has not appeared in front of anyone. Is it just to ask him about his side tonight?
At the same time, he really considered the adult and minor princes in the capital.
But to be disrespectful, except for the fourth prince who has a better reputation, the other adult princes are either stupid or bad, or both stupid and bad.
If such a person were to become the emperor, one can imagine how miserable the people of the Wei Dynasty would be.
He thought about it in his mind and was ready to speak.
However, Fei Yanche suddenly stood up and handed him a book, blocking what he was about to say.
