The reason why Lin Qingbai went to look for Yuehui was very simple.

The army in Xi'an's hands is too strong, he is about to rebel, and even the emperor can only be a knife and fish.

Only Yuehui in the entire capital can stop Xi'an.

Among the four major military battalions, the West Camp and the North Camp are far away from the capital, and their main responsibility is to guard the small towns around the capital. Their strength is not strong and they will not be useful in a short time.

The East Day Camp where Yuehui is located is the head of the four battalions, with the strongest troops, and the East Day Camp is very close to the capital.

Although Xi An now has the South Camp and the patrol camp in the city, as long as Lin Qingbai goes to Yue Hui in advance, Yue Hui will have time to mobilize the troops of the East Camp to contend with Xi An.

Or, Yuehui didn't even need to dispatch all his troops.

Xi'an's current troops are all in the capital. If he wants to win, he must fight quickly to seize the throne before His Majesty's other troops come to rescue him.

In other words, Yuehui doesn't need to defeat him, he just needs to drag Xi'an for a few days until other reinforcements arrive, then Xi'an will have no chance of winning.

Yue Hui has always been indifferent by nature, and he is at odds with Xi An, so he will definitely not attend today's wedding ceremony.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingbai's eyes darkened, and he asked Liang Yaochu in a low voice: "Have you prepared everything I want you to do?"

Liang Yaochu rode the horse against the wind, ahh, but didn't hear Lin Qingbai's words clearly.

Lin Qingbai's voice was a little louder, and he repeated it again.

Liang Yaochu impatiently said loudly: "Get ready! Get ready! I really didn't mean you, you don't want to see how you were tortured by that lunatic, he lied to you, used you, and now you have toSeize the imperial power of your family! It’s good for you, while you want to stop him, you are afraid that others will hurt him, and you have to ask me to find him a place to escape and hide! He is so capable, he can turn you around, if he is slaughtered, how can he bother you to protect him?!"

"..."

"But I'm curious, what if he is really slaughtered, what will you do?" Liang Yaochu raised her eyebrows and asked, and then she felt something was wrong, and turned her head to look at Lin Qingbai and Su LengWith a pale face, he quickly added: "Just in case! I'm just talking about an eventuality! A hypothesis, don't take it seriously!"

Lin Qingbai lowered his eyes, exerted so much force on the back of his hand that the veins appeared, and did not say another word along the way.

Dong Daying is not too far from Lin Qingbai's mansion, but they need to calculate the route of the guard of honor in Beijing and avoid all the people who might stop them, so this route is a bit farther.

Unexpectedly, just as Lin Qingbai and his two walked to the outskirts of Beijing, they saw the oncoming army from a distance.

Yue Hui was wearing armor and riding a horse at the head of the team, followed by the invisible soldiers.

Each of those soldiers was wearing armor, and there were a large number of them. Every time they took a step, the ground shook and the mountains shook, as if they were about to go into battle.

Lin Qingbai caressed the reins and got off the horse. Yue Hui also raised his hand, and the army behind him stopped in their tracks.

Yue Hui got off his horse, and bowed politely to Lin Qingbai: "Lord Yun."

Lin Qingbai didn't have time to make detours now, so he opened his mouth and said, "Xi'an is about to betray."

Yue Hui's eyes suddenly darkened, he frowned and looked at Lin Qingbai for a while, and asked, "How did Prince Yun know?"

This matter is complicated to explain, Lin Qingbai only said: "This matter is true, please rush to the capital to rescue him, General Yue, before there is still time."

Seeing Lin Qingbai's anxious expression, Yue Hui didn't hesitate much, raised his hand and ordered someone to prepare a horse for Lin Qingbai, and set off with Liang Yaochu and Lin Qingbai.

Lin Qingbai originally planned to rush to Dongdaying to look for Yuehui, but now he met him halfway, which saved a lot of time.

With the army behind him, they couldn't ride faster.

Lin Qingbai had never ridden a horse alone when he was in the mortal world, just now Liang Yaochu led him to run so fast that his heart was beating wildly, but now that the speed was slower, he was thinking about other things instead.

After a while, Lin Qingbai asked seemingly unintentionally: "General Yue is ready to go with his troops today, I don't know why?"

Yuehui also speaks out

: "I have received a secret report that General Xi is about to rebel, but I don't know whether it is true or not. I have to prepare the army first. Now that the prince has said it, it seems to be right."

Lin Qingbai didn't speak anymore, but turned around and looked at the army behind Yuehui.

The strength of the East Day Camp should not be underestimated. There are a large number of people, and the march is orderly. Every soldier's brows are full of majesty, and the equipment and armor on their bodies are also top-notch.

As long as Dong Daying takes action, Xi'an's rebellion is likely to fail miserably.

Lin Qingbai turned his head and grasped the rein tightly, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart, if Xi An was really defeated, what should he do......

Lin Qingbai pondered for a moment with downcast eyes, then suddenly remembered something, and asked: "How did General Yue know that Xi An was about to rebel, and did anyone else know?"

Yue Hui stared ahead, and said expressionlessly: "I have placed a dark chess inside General Xi, as long as the prince doesn't tell, no one will know about it, but the prince, have you told others about this news?"

Lin Qingbai's voice was calm: "No, it's useless to tell others."

Calculated based on the time when Xi An entered the palace, even if Lin Qingbai ran to inform the emperor now, the emperor would be helpless.

There was another silence on the road.

Faced with the two people's thoughts, Liang Yaochu was riding a horse beside him, but the horse's hooves were brisk and he ran far ahead.

After a while, she came back from a distance on the royal horse again, and asked Lin Qingbai loudly: "I don't know something. If Xi An wants to rebel, he didn't tell you it's today? How did you know? What ifIf he doesn't rebel today, wouldn't we be beating the grass and scaring the snake?"

Yue Hui also looked at Lin Qingbai when he heard the words.

Lin Qingbai's eyes sank, and he said a few words in a suppressed voice: "He will definitely betray today."

Yue Hui asked, "How did you know?"

Now that they have all asked this point, Lin Qingbai just took this time to talk to Yuehui about the current situation before the start of the war.

"General Yue should know the former Lord Xiahou."

Yue Hui's expression darkened when he heard the words, he turned his head and looked at Lin Qingbai with ice-like eyes, and he answered coldly after a while.

"kindness."

Master Xiahou is General Chu's formidable enemy, so it's no wonder Yuehui reacted like this when he heard it.

Lin Qingbai told General Yue what he planned without reservation.

Xi'an is the son of Lord Xia. He hates the Emperor, the Supreme Emperor, and even the entire court. Today is the best time for him to get married.

All the royal family and nobles and courtiers will go to the palace to participate in the celebration. The gates of the palace are wide open, and the imperial guards are not on guard.

And the servants brought into the palace after Xi An's death will definitely not be ordinary servants, they only need to enter the palace from the main entrance of the palace when the time comes.

Then when the palace gate is closed, all the people in the palace will become fish and shrimp in the cage, unable to struggle or escape, they can only wait for Xi An to raise the sword, smash their flesh and blood, and tear them to pieces.

After Lin Qingbai finished speaking, there was a silence around him.

Lin Qingbai closed his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling his heart was very tired, he only had the strength to add softly: "...Xi An's weapon should be in the big wedding box carried by the servant,At that time, General Yue must be more careful."

Yue Hui has always talked less, and rarely asks others questions on his own initiative.

It's just that after a while this time, he suddenly said in a deep voice: "I don't know if the prince has regretted it?"

Lin Qingbai paused, and asked in a hoarse voice: ".......What do you regret?"

Yue Hui said four words in a cold tone: "Tigers are a threat."

Lin Qingbai's pupils shrank suddenly, and he tightened the rein around his wrist, causing a bright red mark on the back of his hand.

There was no more words along the way.

At two o'clock in the morning, they entered the capital with a large army.

Perhaps because of Yuehui's presence, they walked unimpeded along the way, which was much smoother than expected, and they didn't even see the people in the traffic jam.

Liang Yaochu frowned, looked around and said, "Today is Xi'an's big wedding, why are there so few people on the road?"

Before Lin Qingbai could answer, Yuehui spoke in a cold voice: "The procession to welcome the bride doesn't follow this road, and the people here rush to other places to watch the ceremony and receive the rewards."

Only then did Liang Yaochu come to her senses, and said "oh" twice.

According to the plan, Lin Qingbai and Yuehui will meet Xi'an's guard of honor downstairs in Fenglan City in the capital.

Although there is no clear division of ranks in the capital, everyone knows that the capital is divided into three circles.

With the emperor's golden palace as the center, the imperial palace is the first circle, and the people living in it are the noble sons of the royal family, who are the most expensive people in the entire Fu dynasty.

The second one is Fenglan City Tower.

This city tower used to be the city gate of the capital many years ago. Later, after many years of dynasty changes and the expansion of the capital, the original old city wall has also been abandoned and ancient.

Ninety percent of the official residences in the court are within the Fenglan Tower, so the Fenglan Tower is also called the second city gate of the capital.

As for the third circle, it is the city gate of today's capital, where most ordinary civilians live.

But now, Lin Qingbai and Yue Hui only need to stop Xi An outside the Fenglan Tower.

According to the marching time of the guard of honor, Lin Qingbai and the others will arrive at the downstairs of Fenglan City two quarters of an hour earlier than Xi'an.

In this way, there is plenty of time to deploy the troops, and only wait for Xi An to stop them when they come to the bottom of the city tower with them.

However, when Lin Qingbai and the others rode their horses and were about to reach the city tower, they turned the last corner. On the endless road, Lin Qingbai suddenly saw a dazzling bright red.

The red color reflected in the sun seemed to reflect a golden light, which hurt Lin Qingbai's eyes and made his head dizzy.

He saw that Xi'an's team had arrived under the tower.

Xi An was wearing a bright red wedding dress, riding a dark red horse, and his position was far ahead of everyone behind him.

He did not lead the troops into the Fenglan Tower, nor did he make any extraordinary moves.

He didn't even move, just stood under the sun, raised his head and looked at the distant city wall calmly, as if he was waiting for something.

Yue Hui's army was still advancing, and the deafening sound of horseshoes was approaching him, but Xi An didn't respond in the slightest.

Lin Qingbai got closer and closer to him, so close that he could even see the gold silk embroidery on the red wedding dress on Xi An's body.

The delicate tattoos reflected the dazzling light under the sun, making Xi An's whole body seem to be bathed in the bright sun, and even his face seemed to have receded from the coldness of the past, becoming a little warmer and more peaceful.

It wasn't until Lin Qingbai rode his horse to a stop ten steps away from him that Xi An slowly withdrew his gaze from the high wall and looked at Lin Qingbai.

When he looked at Lin Qingbai, there was no surprise on his face, but he looked at Lin Qingbai silently for a long time, and then said: "...Master, you really went to find him."

Xi An's voice was low and deep, so deep that no emotion could be heard, but it seemed to come from the abyss.

Lin Qingbai's hand clenched the reins tightly, but he felt the pain, the bone-piercing pain in Xi'an's obviously emotionless eyes.

Lin Qingbai rolled his Adam's apple, and said in a hoarse voice: "Stop it, Xi An, there is still time."

Xi An was silent.

Lin Qingbai forced the indifferent expression on his face, and continued: "The troops in the East Day Camp are stronger than you, and there is also the Imperial Forest Army in the palace. If you want to rebel, the two Northwest Battalions will be able to rush over within four days.Hand Xi An, there is still time."

However, Xi An tilted his head and looked at Lin Qingbai. He changed from his usual ruthless expression and asked softly, "Master, you have already led the army to the tower, how can I make it in time......"

Lin Qingbai looked at the face in front of him that he was very familiar with, and his heart throbbed.

Lin Qingbai couldn't say anything at this time, but lowered his voice and said to Xi'an: "It's too late..."

Now, it's really too late....

He has arranged people inside the capital, horses outside the city, and his cronies at every gate, as long as Xi An is willing to go with him, everything is still in time......

Xi An did not respond to Lin Qingbai's words, but looked at Lin Qingbai's face with those swarthy eyes for a long time, as if seeing Lin Qingbai for the first time.

He asked Lin Qingbai in a low voice: "Why did we become like this..."

Xi An's voice was very low, as if he was talking to himself.

Lin Qingbai's heart trembled violently.

They were supposed to be masters and apprentices, and they were still close a few days ago.

Even if Lin Qingbai died at that time, he would never have imagined that one day they would end up like this...

Turning against each other and fighting against each other...

As soon as the morning passed, the morning sun became more and more dazzling.

Lin Qingbai stood behind a boundless army.

Those people were wearing silver armor, and their aura in the sun was breathtaking, but Xi An didn't even look at those people.

His eyes were on Lin Qingbai from the beginning to the end, and suddenly he said: "Master, you actually miscalculated..."

Lin Qingbai was startled, not understanding what he was talking about.

Xi An continued: "The people I brought are really helpless servants, and the boxes behind me are really wedding gifts. I actually didn't bring a single soldier with me today.Without a knife or a sword..."

Lin Qingbai frowned.

"But master, you guessed one thing right. I am indeed going to rebel today. Can you guess where my knife is hidden? Where is my soldier hidden?"

Xi An's voice was extremely gentle, he was not in a hurry, just as he was so peaceful and casual when he told Lin Qingbai before that the flowers in the courtyard were blooming.

Lin Qingbai's heart sank when he heard Xi An say this.

Suddenly, a very terrifying thought came to him, his hands and feet were cold and his scalp was numb.

"Master, aren't you curious, who helped me, a six-year-old child, to escape?"

"..."

"Master, what you taught me is to seek people's hearts first..."

After finishing speaking, Xi An's soft eyes suddenly sharpened, his eyes passed Lin Qingbai, and he yelled out a name that Lin Qingbai had never heard before: "Zhiyang, have you brought the soldier talisman?"

There was a movement behind him, and under Lin Qingbai's blank gaze, Yue Hui got off his horse and walked up to Xi An step by step.

He waved his clothes and knelt down in front of Xi An, holding the military amulet in both hands and handing it to Xi An.

Yue Hui still had that icy tone of voice, his back was as tall and straight as a pine tree, but with lowered eyebrows and eyes, every word and every word was submissive.

"All the soldiers have been brought here, and they are all under the command of the young master. We will not hesitate to go up the mountain of swords or down into the sea of fire."

Lin Qingbai was sitting on a high horse, his eyes were blood red, and his body was swaying like a floating willow.

He seemed to be dreaming.

Little Lord.......

Yuehui called Xi'an Xiaohou Ye......

In the past few days, Lin Qingbai has only heard of one person named Xi'an Xiaohou Ye, and that is the person who communicated with Xi'an in that secret cabinet.

Xi An ordered him to kill someone, and he replied yes.

His name is Xi An——Little Hou Ye.

Lin Qingbai looked at Yue Hui's back, his head was in a daze, and he struggled to find information about Yue Hui in his mind.

The emperor had told him Yuehui's origin for a long time.

That year, the queen took all the princes and princesses to the temple to pray for blessings. Princess Qing was attacked by an assassin. It was a young man who was sweeping the floor in the temple who rushed out to block the knife for the princess, and the princess was safe and sound.

He has no father and no mother, and after saving someone, he doesn't need money or rewards, he just needs to enter the palace and become a soldier.

Then the emperor accepted the child as the princess' personal bodyguard.

temple.......

no father no mother.......

Don't want money, don't want rewards, just stay in the place closest to the imperial power and rise up step by step.

And the year when Yue Hui rescued Princess Qing was the year when Xi An and Lin Qingbai met...

All kinds of fragmented coincidences are now all connected together.

Lin Qingbai suddenly realized at this moment.

He got it, got it all.

He understood that the pain pierced his heart, and his heart was like a knife.

He was wrong, it was all his fault.

Xi'an was buried deeper than he knew, more terrifying than he knew.

They have been burying today's situation for a long time. Their two children buried the emperor, Lin Qingbai, thousands of courtiers and thousands of people in it.

Over the years, the emperor's imperial power has been unstable, and he is suspicious by nature. He likes to use the power of courtiers to check each other, forming a two-legged confrontation. He thinks that power is dispersed and no one can control the power, which is a safe way.

So Xi An and Yue Hui chose the two most powerful people in the court, one of them worshiped Lin Qingbai as their teacher, and the other worshiped General Chu as their teacher.

Twelve years, twelve full years!

They pretended to be fighting openly and secretly above the court!Pretending to be at odds with the camp!Pretending not to know each other!

The emperor was happy to see the struggle, so he had peace of mind and divided all the military power in the court equally between the two.

As everyone knows, no matter how much power is disputed between the two, it is ultimately in the pocket of one person.

The Cangmen case was handed over to the two for investigation, and the Cangmen people committed crimes repeatedly, but they could not find out the result for a long time.

Everyone thought that the Cangmen were hiding too deeply.

But what if the person who investigates is a member of the Cangmen?!

In the past twelve years, they have deceived the emperor, Lin Qingbai, the court ministers, and everyone except the two of them!

Everyone is like a fool, being deceived by them around!

Every step of the way!Every sentence seeks the heart!

Lin Qingbai has lived for thousands of years, but he still can't make such a plan.

Even an hour ago, Lin Qingbai thought he had figured out all the troops in Xi An's hands, and figured out the situation of the battle.

He went to Yue Hui, hoping to stop Xi An, stop him, and even save him before Xi An made a big mistake.

But now, all the troops in the court are in the hands of Xi An, and no one can resist the sword in his hand.

No one can save...

Lin Qingbai felt numb from the pain, and thought it was ridiculous. He closed his eyes, turned the horse's head, swung his whip, and lashed towards the horse's tail. Before everyone could react, the imperial horse flew towardsThe tower ran.

He had never run so fast before, and the whistling sound of wind and clouds in his ears seemed like he had returned to the fairyland.

He stepped on the clouds, and with only one flying body, he could ride the clouds and ride the fog, leaving everything in his mind.

He heard someone behind him chasing him.

I also heard Xi An shout angrily: "Don't shoot arrows!!! Chase!!!"

Xi An's voice was really loud, so loud that he ran so fast, and the wind was so loud in his ears, he could still clearly hear the anger in Xi An's shout.

Xi An had never yelled so loudly before.

Lin Qingbai knew that everyone thought he was going to the palace to deliver a message.

Now the emperor and all the ministers are in the palace, and they don't know anything about what's going on outside, but even if someone can go back and report the news, it's too late.

He wasn't trying to go back and deliver the message.

That's too slow....

I saw Lin Qing's white imperial horse galloping to the bottom of the city wall, he jumped off the horse, stepped on the ancient steps of the tower with his white boots, and ran quickly up the tower step by step.

The white clothes he ran flew away like smoke on the clouds.

The tower is very high, and the steps become steeper as you go to the top. don't know where Lin Qingbai, who was sick and weak in the past, got his strength. He ran fast without stopping for a moment, and even the soldiers who came to chase him were thrown away.behind.

No one knows what he is going to do, only he knows.

There was what he wanted on that wall.

Lin Qingbai stepped onto the high wall and stopped in front of a pile of abandoned leaves.

The city wall has not been cleaned for many years, and there are dry branches and leaves everywhere, and the place in front of Lin Qingbai has the highest pile of leaves.

I saw that Lin Qingbai didn't hesitate at all, and under the attention of thousands of people,

Zhong took out a handful of tinder from his sleeve, waved the tinder and threw it to the pile of leaves.

Days of bright sunshine make the leaves extremely flammable.

The moment the tinder touches the leaves, it catches fire.

The fire is getting bigger and bigger!It's getting fiercer and fiercer!

In the blink of an eye, the flames on the city tower spread to the entire city wall, and at the same time, the bright red fireworks shot straight into the sky, scorching the sky.

There was chaos under the city tower, and someone looked up at the black smoke rising high, and shouted sharply: "It's wolf smoke!"

"General, he lit the wolf smoke!!!"

"General, what should we do now!!!"

The people below were quarreling, but Lin Qingbai was relieved standing on the tower.

There was a period of turmoil during the reign of the Supreme Emperor. Every time there was a turmoil, the enemy troops would take the lead to surround the position of the beacon, so the Supreme Emperor hid several beacons. The fuel is made of special materials, which can keep the beacon flammable for many years. The smoke is high and stays for many days.Only the emperor and the prince know the exact location of the wolf smoke.

One of them is above the Fenglan City Tower.

Lin Qingbai knew that once the smoke was released, it was tantamount to announcing the rebellion of Xi'an all over the world. The palace gates that were originally opened to greet the bride were immediately closed, and the Imperial Forest Army deployed defenses to the entire palace, and soldiers from all major military camps would also send troops to the capital to rescue them.

Regardless of the outcome of this situation, he and Xi An will eventually turn against each other.

The flames of the city tower were everywhere, and Lin Qingbai stood on the majestic tower, overlooking everything below the tower.

He heard that the soldiers behind him had already climbed up the city wall. They held swords and shouted, and rushed towards him like a ghost, wanting to catch him back, kill him or cut him up, or never see the light of day.

He saw thousands of bows and arrows pointing at him under the city tower, Liang Yaochu was restrained by the shoulders, and was yelling at him, he couldn't hear clearly, Yuehui still had the same cold face, riding a horse beside Xi'anSideways, holding a bow and arrow, the tip of the arrow has already been aimed at Lin Qingbai's chest.

Everyone is waiting...

Waiting for Xi'an's order, they shot the sinner on the high wall with tens of thousands of arrows and killed him.

But Xi An sat quietly on the horse, holding the rein tightly with both hands, looking up at Lin Qingbai motionlessly with his head raised.

Even though the distance was very far, even if Xi An just sat on the horse without saying a word, or even made a superfluous movement, Lin Qingbai still saw the monstrous anger and hatred in Xi An's eyes.

That anger wanted to swallow Lin Qingbai alive, causing him to cramp.

The soldiers behind him finally caught up, and they grabbed Lin Qingbai's clothes.

Lin Qingbai suddenly wanted to run away, he wanted to escape from this place that caused him such pain, he didn't want to face Xi An's hateful eyes that were almost crazy.

For so many days, every time he saw Xi An, it hurt him too much.

So he glanced at the crowd under the city tower, stroked the flying hair behind his ear with his right hand, and stepped on the edge of the city wall.

His body was soft, standing on the edge of the city wall, crumbling by the wind.

At that moment, Lin Qingbai's expression changed when he saw Xi An.

All the anger and anger in his eyes disappeared, and turned into endless panic. He raised his hand and rode the horse fiercely, and ran towards Lin Qingbai, as if he wanted to catch Lin Qingbai, with a low voice in his mouth.Shouted two words.

From Xi An's mouth shape, Lin Qingbai knew that he was calling: "Master..."

Perhaps seeing Lin Qingbai about to run, the soldiers behind him became even more anxious. They leaned over to grab Lin Qingbai's hand.

Lin Qingbai sighed lightly.

It's too late if you don't go...

So Lin Qingbai's back was billowing with flames, looked at the man in red under the tower, closed his eyes, and jumped down from the ancient tower.

The sound of the wind whistled by ears, and body was as soft as if could fly again.

At this moment, Lin Qingbai suddenly felt that this was also very good.

In fact, to be honest, he has been a mortal for so many years and has been seriously ill. If he hadn't thought about this little apprentice, he would have wanted to leave a long time ago.
