Chapter 185

As soon as Feng Ling came back, Yi Xie set up a banquet for him to wash away the dust.

It's just that unlike those big banquets in the past, this time it was just the two of them.

The two hadn't seen each other for a while, Feng Ling saluted his emperor, Yi Xie stepped forward to help his general, said a few polite words, and both took their seats. 825360208

During the banquet, they exchanged cups, and the two drank a few glasses of wine each. Yi Xie said that he would propose a position for him. In the future, unless there was a major event that required him to lead the troops in person, he would usually leave the small troubles to the people below. Just go and deal with it, and stay in the imperial city to retire and retire, and the salary will be paid accordingly.

The words are nice, but the actual meaning is to take back the military power in his hands, and only give him a position with a false title, which is clearly a public promotion and a secret relegation.

Feng Ling was mentally prepared when he returned to the city. After all, he now has almost all the military power in his hands. How can an emperor allow one to control the military power of the whole country? Stay with people who are more than yourself.

It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger.

But don't know that the king is also afraid of raising tigers.

Feng Ling understood this, but when he heard these words from Yi Xie, his mood was inevitably a little down.

He still didn't trust him enough.

Feng Ling drank most of the wine in the cup, lowered his eyes slightly, and answered in a very soft voice:

Yi Xie looked at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

"Are you afraid of me?" Feng Ling looked up at him for a while, and then replied: 'I'm not afraid. "Yi Xie suddenly restrained his smile, quickly drew out a sword, and held the sword's edge to Feng Ling's neck at a very fast speed.

"Don't be afraid of that"

Feng Ling shook his head.

Yi Xie approached the sword edge a little more, and only half an inch was about to draw a blood line on the opponent's neck, but Feng Ling still looked calm as usual.

"You are really not afraid that I will kill you"

His tone was cold, but his eyes were a bit colder than his tone.

Yi Xie just stared straight at Feng Ling's face, and the emotions in his eyes were quietly surging, giving people a gloomy and uncertain feeling.

Feng Ling looked into his eyes, there was no shadow of anyone there, lonely, lonely, and cold.

The whole heart is empty.

There is no one inside.

He finally has the power to protect anyone, but no one he needs to protect.

Feng Ling lowered his eyes again, his tone was calm:

"I can have it," Yi Xie looked at him expressionlessly, nailing the sword in his hand to the wooden pillar on the side, and grabbing the other's neckline with the other hand to approach, the two looked at each other at a very close distance, beautiful lips Gently opening and closing, he said word by word, of course I have. "

Yi Xie also knew about Yi Wanwan. She could blame Yi Wu for sending her out, she could blame her father and emperor who agreed to the terms of her marriage, she could blame her concubine who was jealous of her, she could blame the ruthless Kukan King, she could blame her. Inability to protect herself.

The only thing that can't be blamed is Feng Ling's head.

But he couldn't help but think. What if Feng Ling had agreed to the marriage at that time?

That Yi Wanwan is the princess who has already married the concubine, and the marriage is not up to her. She doesn't have to marry someone she doesn't like, or she doesn't have to be humiliated in a foreign country.

They will surely become good friends too.

Or, what if Yi Wanwan didn't like Feng Ling from the beginning?

Then she wouldn't say Feng Ling's name in her dreams, she wouldn't be heard by the lord of Kukan, and she wouldn't have been favored from the beginning to become the common enemy of the harem, and then she would fall out of favor and be reduced to a casual concubine. Bully.

Maybe she didn't even know she was pregnant before she died, and the child left without seeing the world.

Even now, he has not been able to find her bones.

Everyone said he was a good emperor. But he didn't know that he was just an emperor who couldn't even protect his own relatives.

It was so deserted in the huge palace, except for the occasional assassin or two who wanted to take his life. sound. However, the more I went on, the more I felt that I didn't seem to have much connection with this world.

Yi Xie let go of Feng Ling's collar and clapped his hands at random. His voice was light, like a voice floating from somewhere else.

I shouldn't hate you, but I can't help but hate you," said this, he suddenly raised his lips and smiled, "but it seems unfair to you, why don't you hate me too 6210510500

Feng Ling looked at him, even after what happened just now, his tone was still calm: "I have no reason to hate Your Majesty."

Yi Xie sat back in his seat, poured half a glass of wine into his own glass, and the corner of his lips twitched, and he said with a smile that was not a smile: "You are a general who led troops on an expedition, I have taken all your military power, you don't hate me"

Feng Ling walked to the side, pulled the sword from the pillar, and put it back into the scabbard, said indifferently.

"Now that the world is unified, and the world is peaceful and prosperous, if I don't need me because there is no war, that's actually a good thing."

He was also happy to be able to live those peaceful and peaceful days with his family.

Yi Xie took a sip of wine.

"Then if I do something to your family, for example, so that you never see each other again, will you hate me?"

Hearing this, Feng Ling finally frowned and his eyes became sharp.

·What does your majesty mean?" Yi Xie held his chin and smiled lightly.

"You didn't ask me to take care of your family before. Because something happened to your house two years ago, I allocated another mansion for your family to live in temporarily. As long as I want, I can let you look for it forever. How about without them?"

Feng Ling pursed his lips: "This joke is not funny."

"I'm not joking, why do you think it's a joke?" Yi Xie squinted her eyes, the corners of her lips curled up, looking a little cruel under the cool moonlight, or I'll just go ahead and prove it for you Become a person like me, you should know if I'm joking

Feng Ling looked at Yi Xie's face and wanted to judge what he meant by the subtle changes in his expression.

It's just that no matter how he looks at it, he can't see what this person really thinks.

Feng Ling also knew that he was similar in martial arts to Yi Xie. If what the other party said was true, he was not sure that he could fight against Yi Xie while protecting his parents and younger brother.

In addition, Yi Xie is the king, as long as he wants to, there are many people he can use, and Feng Ling is just a general who has been deprived of military power.

Even if he left the table immediately to find his family, Yi Xie could send someone one step ahead of him and hide his family before he got home.

And Yi Xie did exactly that.

Feng Ling had just returned to the city before, and before he had time to go home, he was invited into the palace by Yi Xie.

Later, I learned from Yi Xie's mouth that the family now lives in another mansion, but they did not tell him the specific location.

By the time Feng Ling found the place where they lived, several hours had passed, and the house was still empty. don't know where the three of them were locked up by Yi Xie.

Feng Ling stayed up all night and had to go to the morning again the next morning. The anxiety in his heart made him forget his exhaustion, but his expression was still determined, only his eyes unconsciously revealed a bit of worry.

After the next court, he did not leave directly, but found Yi Xie.

The young emperor was dressed in court clothes, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, so bright and handsome in the sun.

In an instant, time seemed to rewind back to the child they first met.

Feng Ling did not know him at that time. got to know each other in the middle.

But now he looked at Yi Xie, but he felt very strange, and he felt as if he didn't know this person very much.

Or maybe they were destined to become strangers from the moment they first met.

Of course Yi Xie knew what he was looking for, but before Feng Ling spoke, he invited him to visit the imperial garden with him. ,

The palace is very big, and his imperial garden is also not small.

Yi Xie asked the people around him to step back. At this moment, there were only two of them around. It was a quiet and deserted place. Neither of them spoke first, which made the atmosphere heavier.

Until he reached a certain lake, Yi Xie pointed at the lake to Feng Ling.

You know what I've fallen from here, no, I was pushed down," after a pause, and added, "Winter, twelve years old. "

Feng Ling looked at the calm lake in front of him, like some kind of suppressed tranquility before the storm.

It was really cold at that time, I was shivering from the freezing, the cold was biting, and after falling into the water, my cotton-padded clothes were full of water, and my physical strength was quickly exhausted. "

As he spoke, he pointed to a place far away.

"The place I lived at that time was very far from here. I stayed outside for a long time. After that, I became seriously ill because of the cold, and I almost couldn't survive it."

"Because I was assassinated before that, I went to my master to learn martial arts. Fortunately, although I was ill for a long time that year, there was no root cause of the disease. After falling into the water this time, I wanted to find out who pushed me down. Yes, I naturally started to form my own intelligence network."

"after that

There is also the matter of the mother and the concubine.

She said that the miscarriage of the noble concubine was blamed by her, knowing that the emperor treated her with the kindness of saving her life, and that she would be pregnant with the emperor's child soon after entering the palace.

Accidental death isn't really "accidental" either.

Thinking of this, Yi Xie suddenly laughed inexplicably.

"I have a very deep grudge, even if it's been a long time, I still remember it very clearly.
