Chapter 56: Turning the Tide; Feng Kun
Gu Guan put on the left-lapel cloth armor of the Northern Rong cavalry, mounted a Northern Rong warhorse, and, holding a scimitar, escaped from the battlefield under the protection of Xie Yun and others in the melee.
Then he tore all these things off and threw them away, and rode his horse as fast as he could to Yin County.
When Gu Guan arrived in Yin County, the fire had not been completely extinguished. The sporadic flames and the smoke made everyone look dusty.
Most people were in a state of dejection and panic, walking in silence with their heads lowered, some were shouting and running, and an escorting officer committed suicide, causing chaos. She and Xie Yun and others ran and searched in the temporary camp, constantly asking people, and finally after half an hour they finally found out that Li Yi was currently in the wounded camp.
Li Yi was not injured, but with a fire of that magnitude, it made little difference whether the fire was put out or not. Almost everyone present inhaled the thick smoke and coughed continuously.
Li Yi's condition was better. After drinking a bowl of medicine, his low cough had eased. The temporary medical camp was located upwind, but the haze and temperature were still very high. According to the military doctor's instructions, the armor had been removed. Li Yi was wearing a dark purple silk warrior robe with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows and the collar loose. His appearance was unusually untidy, but it still could not conceal his noble demeanor.
The curtains were drawn to block out the smoke and dust. It was very hot and stuffy. There were many people and the atmosphere was heavy. Li Yi stood there with a unhappy look on his face.
Li Yi is one of the military equipment supervision and transportation officers. Although the items he is escorting this time are not food and fodder, the court does not make such detailed distinctions when appointing them. All the generals and officers who are escorting the team must be held accountable to varying degrees.
The military equipment he was in charge of was not in serious danger, but it was definitely affected.
They were caught in the crossfire for no reason. The key issue was that the food and fodder had been burned. Li Yi's trusted advisor Tian Jian said, "I hope the food and fodder can be restocked, otherwise this war will be disastrous."
Li Yi knew all of this.
He didn't say anything, and the tent became quiet. Tian Jian sighed.
Everyone present was capable. They had seen the various shortcomings of the Wei Dynasty in the past and had also sought out Li Yi, a wise leader whom they recognized. However, no one present wanted to be invaded by the Northern Rong and have their country trampled upon.
Yu Manzhen was wearing a green riding suit with short sleeves and right lapel. She sat silently on a box beside her. She looked at the man in front of her who was as calm as water but still tall and handsome.
At this time in his previous life, Li Yi was not in the Qingping Plain, nor was he serving as an armament transport officer, but a grain and grass collection envoy, responsible for the collection of grain in the next link after transportation. However, there was a big problem with the grain and grass collection in Jiangnan, and Li Yi was affected. That should be the biggest setback for this man in his early years.
Although things have changed now, at this moment, it is the same thing. Yu Manzhen finally let go of the worry in her heart, and she felt a little relieved.
——When he was demoted to Xiangzhou, his father died in Xiangzhou. This time, she will once again accompany him through this most emotional and difficult time and enter his heart.
Not long, just a few months.
However, just as Yu Manzhen was thinking this, there was a sudden sound of hurried horse hooves outside. Then, the captain of Li Yi's guards came in quickly, lifting the curtain and whispering in Li Yi's ear, "Master, Gu Yuanniang is here. She is outside. She said she has something urgent to do."
"Gu Yuanniang?"
Li Yi frowned slightly, quite surprised, but Yu Manzhen stood up suddenly.
who?
Gu Yuanniang? Gu Qi!
Her heart subconsciously sank, then began beating violently, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition.
But Li Yi did not ask anyone. He was slightly surprised, raised his leg and lifted the curtain to go out.
She stood there for a few breaths, then rushed out in a flash, hurriedly lifted the curtain a little to look outside, but she only saw Li Yi jumping on the horse and riding away with Gu Wan side by side.
She couldn't help but clench her fists.
…
It was early in the morning, the sky was half dark, with sporadic firelight flickering. The entire wounded camp was in chaos and noisy, and everyone's face was gloomy.
As soon as Li Yi lifted the curtain and went out, he saw Gu Wan, who looked exhausted.
Black smoke was still rising from Yin County City several miles away, and black debris kept falling. Gu Guan and her group covered their faces with wet cloth scarves, revealing only a pair of almond-shaped eyes, but Li Yi recognized her at a glance.
"Let's go, this is not the place to talk."
The smoke made people's throats itchy. Li Yi took the wet handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose with it. He jumped onto the horse and squeezed the horse's belly. The fat horse rushed out. He loosened the reins and tied the handkerchief with both hands.
To be fair, this man is tall and handsome, with a strong posture and a tall figure. Even in this unkempt state, he is still calm and composed and does not look embarrassed. He is indeed a leader among all men.
However, Gu Wan had no intention of appreciating the elegant and handsome man. As soon as she rushed out of the wounded camp, she suddenly stopped her horse and said, "The court has just issued an order to requisition the Yunbei Granary, but there is a problem with the Yunbei Granary, and the reserve food and fodder is in danger!"
The sky was filled with billowing smoke and dust, and there was a light gray mist under the morning light. Gu Guan tore off the wet cloth covering his face, and his beautiful eyebrows became extremely serious.
"What did you say?!"
Li Yi's eyebrows twitched and his face suddenly darkened.
Gu Wan didn't waste any words, "Now I need your help to solve this matter. Xie Ci said that the conditions are up to you!"
Li Yi turned his head suddenly. It was half light and half dark. At the end of his sight behind the billowing smoke, the majestic mountains stretched all the way to the end of the sky. At this moment of dawn, they were vaguely visible against the backdrop of the pale sky.
Behind the mountain is the direction of Yunnan.
"how so?"
Li Yi couldn't believe it, but Gu Wan must have sent it from Xie Ci. Li Yi believed her almost immediately. The earth was shaking slightly, and the fighting nearly two hundred miles away could be clearly felt in Yin County.
——They had just finished saying that if the military food supply was cut off, the Northern Army on the Western Expedition would be in danger of being wiped out!
Li Yi's heart sank, "But I don't have any manpower in Yunbei!"
He had no one in Yunbei City, let alone the Yunbei Granary. He had indeed noticed the Changping Granaries in the north and south, but before this incident happened, who could have known that the Yunbei Granary would become so crucial!
He wanted to use more strength, but he had no idea where to start!
He suddenly turned around to look at Gu Wan, his handsome face gloomy and solemn, but he thought that at this critical moment, Gu Wan would definitely not come to him for no reason.
Gu Guan said without a word: "You don't have it, but Yu Manzhen does. If nothing unexpected happens, she should have information about the Beirong spies in the Yunbei warehouse!"
"He's a lieutenant general."
Gu Wan looked into Li Yi's eyes and said, "This person is very important. You must get the answer from her."
Li Yi frowned instantly, and Gu Wan nodded firmly at him, "I have some personal grudges against her. She sent people to hunt me down before, and I know some things about her."
Why didn't Gu Wan offer Yu Manzhen a chance to attack? Why didn't he take the initiative? The former was because she had almost forgotten about this woman after so many ups and downs and dangers during this period.
As for the latter, she had guessed that Yu Manzhen would attack her, but after Xie Ci and Qin Ying arrived in Lingzhou one after another, she did not tell them to borrow some manpower to take the initiative.
That's why.
Yu Manzhen knows a lot of things that she doesn’t know, who knows if she will use them when necessary?
So since the distance was too great and she didn't have to kill her, she didn't pay much attention to her.
Look, this is no longer necessary?
The morning light was dim and the short trees, thorns and thatch on the hillside were all covered with a layer of gray-black debris.
Li Yi's brows relaxed slightly, then furrowed again, he was in doubt and uncertainty: "Yu Manzhen?"
But he lowered his eyes and thought for a few breaths, then suddenly pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, "Wait here for me!"
Li Yi squeezed the horse's belly, and the fat horse neighed loudly and rushed out like an arrow.
…
What Gu Guan said was beyond Li Yi's expectations.
But as long as Yu Manzhen really knew, he would be able to get the exact information from her.
Yu Manzhen had already returned to her tent. The guards had brought her some water, and she was sitting there restlessly washing herself.
Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid horse hooves sounds, followed by two clatters of military boots hitting the ground. The curtain was lifted, and the tall figure of Li Yishen in purple was standing outside the curtain.
Yu Manzhen's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know what Gu Wan had said to Li Yi, but she quickly took a deep breath and pretended to be calm. "Husband?"
She looked surprised, and her attention was completely focused on Li Yi in front of her.
Li Yi threw down his whip and walked slowly into the tent.
His posture was still so dignified and elegant, as if the nobility and calmness were ingrained in his bones, but at this moment, Yu Manzhen felt that his steps were like a leopard, extremely elegant yet carrying a sense of danger.
——This was something she hadn't seen for a long time. Ever since she became the Princess of Xiaoshan and almost accompanied Li Yi from humble beginnings, she had never seen him behave like this in front of outsiders.
Li Yi stopped and smiled slightly, "You sent people to hunt down Gu Yuanniang?"
Yu Manzhen's heart skipped a beat, but she had been prepared for this question. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she pursed her lips stubbornly: "My family and hers have an old feud."
Li Yi smiled, but remained noncommittal. He asked, "Do you have someone in Yunbei? Tell me! Who is the Beirong spy in the Yunbei warehouse?"
Li Yi stood in front of the camp bed, suddenly raised his eyelids, and his sharp eyes were as bright as lightning.
Yu Manzhen was stunned for a moment, momentarily flustered by the question. She had been secretly recruiting people without Li Yi's knowledge, and because she had taken the initiative, many of them were superior to Li Yi's current staff and could fill some of her team's key shortcomings.
Yu Manzhen did not tell Li Yi, nor did she ever plan to tell him. She would only look into it when the need arose. Anyway, everything depended on her own needs and interests.
Li Yi must never be allowed to know about these things behind the scenes.
Yu Manzhen's heart suddenly sank into a small ball after being suddenly exposed. She was panicked and rushed. What did Gu Qie say? Why? What should she do? Fortunately, Yu Manzhen reacted quickly. In a split second, she said, "...Yunbei Dacang?"
She immediately remembered the bloody beheading in her previous life.
Yu Manzhen tried her best to remain calm, her mind racing. She pretended to ponder, "...Is it Yunbei City in Hebei? I don't have it, but my family does!"
She looked up at Li Yi and said, "Because of this mission, my father sent someone to tell me about the situation of the major grain roads and the Changping Warehouse. He also mentioned a lot of suspected problems. The Changping Warehouse here has little to do with us, so I didn't care. Now, let me think about it, his name seems to be Sun Huang! He is a captain of the warehouse office."
Her palms were sweaty.
Yu Manzhen's father is an official of the Prince of Tang's Palace. The Prince of Tang is different from Li Yi. The Prince of Tang is the biological son of the previous emperor and the younger brother of the current emperor. After Li Yi married Yu Manzhen, he was apparently the Prince of Tang's person. Yu Manzhen often got information about the Prince of Tang's Palace from her father.
Before today, Li Yi was very satisfied.
Yu Manzhen came from an obscure background, but she devoted herself to him, including the Yu family.
For a minister in the royal palace, even if he is quite trusted, it is already very good to be able to get such information.
He did not despise Yu Manzhen's humble background, Li Yi's shallow family ties and rough life. He cherished his wife who treated him sincerely. The two of them had always had a good relationship and he loved and trusted her very much.
Unexpectedly, my worldview was refreshed today.
To be fair, Yu Manzhen's behavior didn't show anything unusual, and she handled the mess quite well.
Li Yi leaned over, and at that moment, it was as if she had returned to her previous life. This man was dangerous and charming. Yu Manzhen leaned back unconsciously, supporting herself with her hands on the camp bed.
Li Yi didn't blink for a moment, his sharp eyes fixed on Yu Manzhen's: "This matter is of great importance, are you remembering correctly?"
Yu Manzhen forced a smile and nodded vigorously: "That's right."
"very good."
Li Yi smiled and finally stood up.
The oppressive feeling finally left her. Yu Manzhen felt her hands and feet weaken. She tried her best to act as usual. Seeing Li Yi hurriedly lower his sleeves and don his sleeve-binding dagger, she stood up to serve him, feigning confusion: "Husband, what's wrong?"
Fortunately, the news here is delayed and there is no news of Yunbei's order yet. The objective conditions provide the greatest cover for Yu Manzhen.
"I have something to do, I need to go out for a while."
Li Yi didn't answer directly. He smiled and looked at Yu Manzhen deeply, "Your family is indeed capable."
Finally, Li Yi left Yu Manzhen with a sentence that made her shudder with fear, then turned around and left quickly.
The sounds of footsteps and horse hooves soon faded away, and Yu Manzhen fell exhausted on the bed.
She cheated her father.
And Li Yi didn't believe it completely.
Yu Manzhen looked anxious. Oh no, what should she do now?
…
Thick smoke and haze covered an area of dozens of miles around Yin County. Even as far as Qingshui Pass, a hundred miles away, one could still smell the faint smell of burning.
On the left were towering green mountains, and on the right was a rolling clear river. Li Yi and Gu Guan avoided the scouts passing by and went around the river to head straight for Qingshui Pass.
At present, Li Yi had no intention of paying attention to Yu Manzhen's affairs. The two of them only brought a few trusted guards and rushed to the interior of the country as fast as possible.
Now that the Qingshui Pass was closed, they did not go to the official road, but rushed to the mountains at the Qingshui Pass and crossed the mountain directly.
Since the horses couldn't get through, they simply gave up. After crossing the mountain, Li Yi shouted, "Follow me!"
He led his men straight to a small town thirty miles to the east, led seven or eight horses out of a cargo company, and the group immediately got on board.
The best war horses can reach a speed of 50 to 60 miles per hour, and can deliver urgent military information for 800 miles. If you set out today, you can reach the imperial city tomorrow, but you have to keep changing horses and people along the way.
Li Yi has such a secret channel for the highest level of communication, and now that every second counts, he has directly brought it to use.
They kept changing horses along the way, and finally Li Yi and Gu Guan each brought a guard and arrived at Yunbei City just after noon that day.
The entire Yunbei City was under martial law. The two men disguised themselves as conscripted laborers, sneaked in, and then left the team directly. Relying on their skills, they ran all the way through the alleys and corridors in the city towards the Yunbei warehouse in the northeast.
In the evening, the two finally locked onto Sun Huang.
However, when he kicked the door open, he found that Sun Huang was dead!
The body was lying on the footstool in front of the bed, blood gushing out. The body was still warm and had just died.
He was wearing ochre armor and lying on the footrest. When Gu Guan saw him in this position, he immediately stepped forward and moved the footrest away.
There was a secret compartment under the footrest. Sun Huang was about to open it, but he was suddenly killed. The contents of the compartment had been taken out. He quickly searched the room and found no more paper or words!
"……how so?!"
The setting sun fills the sky, and towering mountains block the way. There is no trace of war here. Outside, except for the noise of wheels rolling past, everything is as peaceful as usual.
Gu Wan and Li Yi were horrified. They looked at each other and their hearts sank.
Li Yi said, "It's not good."
Sun Huang must be more than one person. If he wants to burn the huge amount of grain in the Yunbei Granary, it is definitely not something that can be done by one person, whether he does it in the granary or on the road.
The next step they wanted to take was to interrogate and find out the network of people that Sun Huang had set up over the years.
But now it was obvious that Sun Huang was suspected and exposed somewhere, and was silenced by his own people.
They rushed in recklessly and alerted the enemy.
After Gu Wan got the exact news about Sun Huang from Li Yi, he breathed a sigh of relief and even smiled a little.
But now, no one can laugh anymore.
She couldn't believe it: "How could this happen?"
"Who leaked the information?"
The first person Gu Wan thought of was Yu Manzhen. She suddenly raised her head to look at Li Yi. Li Yi's face was as gloomy as water and he shook his head: "She doesn't dare!"
But it is meaningless to investigate how Sun Huang died now. They don't have enough time to investigate the case, let alone to inquire about and sort out Sun Huang's social relations.
By the time I found out, the daylily was already cold.
Li Yi's face was gloomy. "The person in charge of all matters behind Qingshui Pass, including the allocation of reserve food and military equipment, is Uncle Lin."
It's like taking on a task in a time of crisis.
But now Li Yi and Lin Guojiu are not on the same level at all. The latter will not buy into anything Li Yi says, and Li Yi has no way to deal with it.
Li Yi pulled Gu Wan and said, "Let's go out first!"
There are footsteps outside, I don’t know if they are coming here.
A group of four people sneaked out of Yunbei Warehouse in an emergency. Before they could say a word, they received a piece of news.
——After receiving the order, the four states of Fengyun, Youyuan, which are closest to the two passes on the east side of Longshan, mobilized their troops and marched quickly overnight. They have arrived at Qingshui Pass and Longshan Pass today. There are not many of them. After all, the northern troops from all over the place had almost come out in full force before, with a total of 27,000 people.
However, Lin Guojiu had no intention of opening the gates to rush to the Qingshui battlefield. He feared that if the Qingshui battlefield was defeated, the Northern Rong cavalry would once again overrun the second line of defense. He ordered the gates to be tightly locked and the troops to be firmly stationed behind the two passes. He vowed to hold the area behind the Longshan and Qingshui passes and north of the Yellow River, protecting Guanzhong and the capital.
I forgot to mention that after He Xin and Zheng Shoufang led their troops to escort the two princes back to the interior of the pass, they were also ordered by Uncle Lin to garrison Longshan Pass and Qingshui Pass.
The two men took away 70,000 soldiers and horses.
When Gu Wan and Li Yi heard the news, all the blood in their bodies rushed to their heads!
"Is this Uncle Lin crazy?!"
The captain of Li Yi's personal guards was a taciturn middle-aged man, and even he couldn't help but curse in disbelief.
Dusk had already fallen, and the scorching heat was blowing, but Gu Wan felt a chill running down her body. For the first time in a long time, she felt as anxious as an ant on a hot pan: "What should I do now?"
how so? !
Who the hell killed Sun Huang?!
My heart was beating like a drum, my chest felt cold, but I didn't realize that I was sweating all over, and the back of my shirt was soaked in an instant.
Li Yi let out a long breath, covered his eyes, and opened them suddenly after a moment, "Now there is only one person who can solve all the problems here!"
Gu Wan asked anxiously: "Who is it?!"
Li Yi said firmly: "Feng Kun!"
He was the imperial envoy during the Lingzhou case, the powerful eunuch Feng Kun.
"The Lin family father and son are extremely powerful. In the entire Wei court, the only one who can rival them is Feng Kun, the seal holder!"
Gu Wan felt her heart pounding. She and Li Yi knew very little about court affairs, but this logic made sense to her. She heard herself ask, "Are you sure?"
Li Yi closed his eyes: "At most 50%."
After several rounds of thoughts, he finally gritted his teeth and decided to fight.
"We will go to Beijing immediately!"
…
Going to the capital, especially at such a sensitive time, only two people can go together.
The post soldiers riding four fast horses at the same time on the road were very conspicuous.
Gu Guan said to Xie Yun, "Come back later, or wait for me on the north bank of the river."
Before setting off, Xie Ci gave a death order, but Xie Yun gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
The horse's hooves raised yellow dust and galloped south.
The two arrived in Zhongdu exhausted by the journey. It was the next afternoon. They hadn't eaten a single bite of food along the way and were so thirsty that they were almost spitting fire.
Gu Guan never expected that when he returned to Zhongdu, he would find himself in such a situation.
The atmosphere in each official post station was now very tense. Fortunately, Li Yi had someone planted here, and they managed to escape from the official post station after some effort.
Li Yi said to Gu Wan, "Wait for me in the outer city, don't go in."
Li Yi hurried into an inn not far from the west city gate, quickly washed and changed into clean clothes, tied up his hair without even letting it dry, and quickly put on the arrow-sleeved casual uniform of a royal prince, which was light apricot in color. After he had finished tidying up, he personally picked up a pen and wrote a visiting card, then quickly mounted his horse and headed straight for the inner city.
Adjacent to the imperial city, it is solemn and neat, with flying eaves and ridges, and hip roofs. Behind the huge colorfully embroidered gatehouse is a long bluestone street, with two majestic stone lions squatting in the middle. There are steps leading up one by one, and at the end is a red-painted gate with three animal heads and gold nails. Guarding the gate are sword-wielding imperial guards, and the gatekeeper is a young eunuch from the Imperial Household Department.
Everyone who comes and goes holds their breath, and everyone bows their head when paying a visit.
Feng Kun's original name was Feng Shangyi, and he was given the name Kun by the emperor. He was born in the Imperial Household Department and was the most trusted person by the current emperor. He was once granted the title of Governor of Panzhou, and rose through the ranks to become General of the Cavalry, and was promoted to the rank of Grand Master of the Imperial Court. He was granted the title of Duke of Bohai County and later Duke of Qi.
Now he holds the seal of the Left Prime Minister and the Imperial Household Department. Although he is only in his thirties, he is deeply favored by the emperor and has control over everything inside and outside the court. He has great power.
Together with the father of Lin and his son, he was called the Second Prime Minister.
Li Yi glanced up at the gilded plaque above him, inscribed with "The Mansion of the Duke of Qi Built by Imperial Order." This was imperial calligraphy. He also saw the throng of sword-wielding imperial guards and young eunuchs in blue shirts standing before the gate, and he felt a pang of dismay. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, dismounted, and quickly stepped forward, thrusting a purse containing a large-denomination banknote and a visiting card into the eunuch's hands.
Li Yi was lucky. Feng Kun had just returned home. The eunuch guarding the door pinched his purse and glanced at the visiting card. When he saw the five words "King Xiaoshan Li Yi", he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
This visiting card was finally delivered to Feng Kun, not because of the banknote, but because of Li Yi, who was still a special person at the moment.
Feng Kun had feminine features, a pair of exceptionally bright and sharp phoenix eyes, and a calm expression. She was in the flower hall, teasing the thrush on the high table with a thin sandalwood stick with great interest.
Several visiting cards were presented along with purses and banknotes and placed on another table beside Feng Kun. The young eunuch lowered his head and tiptoed out.
Feng Kun teased the thrush for a while before casually glancing at the visiting cards behind him.
"Huh? Xiaoshan King Li Yi."
Feng Kun raised his eyebrows and saw an interesting one. He flipped through the visiting card. The words inside were so vigorous that they could be seen through the back of the paper. In order to attract Feng Kun's attention, Li Yi even concealed the handwriting, making it less round and more sharp.
In addition to the greeting, it also stated in an extremely urgent tone, "The Northwest War is about to be a great defeat, and Uncle Lin will once again take control of the border army!"
"Why is Li Yi running back to Zhongdu instead of staying in Yin County?"
Feng Kun glanced at the visiting card, raised his eyebrows and smiled, closed the card and threw it away, saying nonchalantly: "Since you have some free time, why not ask the person over there to come in and meet you."
Li Yi took a deep breath and was led into the mansion, all the way to a small pavilion overlooking the garden. Feng Kun was wearing a green home uniform and a fu hat, like a young scholar. He was holding a sandalwood cage with his hands and teasing the thrush inside.
Li Yi was a member of the imperial clan. He bowed and said, "Yi greets Prime Minister Feng."
He waited for a moment, but there was no sound of talking at the round table above, only the hissing sound of birds teasing him.
Li Yi took a deep breath and knelt on the ground with a thud. "Please, Prime Minister Feng, please understand! According to accurate information, there are Northern Rong spies in the Yunbei Granary. The grain supply in Changping may be lost to the same fate as in Yin County! Uncle Lin, under the imperial decree, is holding back the reinforcements at Longshan and Qingshui Passes, refusing to open them for aid. The Battle of Qingshui is about to be annihilated by the Northern Army!"
"Now only Prime Minister Feng has the power to turn the tide!"
No matter whether it was a person or an order, only Feng Kun could immediately invite them out and order them to act immediately, completing all these matters before the end of the twelve days.
——If the Yunbei granary cannot be preserved, Feng Kun is the only one who can urgently transfer grain from various counties and states.
The harvest in the northwest has been bad in recent years. If the grain is given away, the county magistrates and provincial governors will be in big trouble. If they are not careful, they may be dismissed from office and charged with a crime.
Only Feng Kun, who had great power and authority and was determined to take revenge, would not dare to delay or shirk his responsibilities.
"But why should I help you turn the tide?"
Feng Kun was a eunuch and he didn't even accept an adopted son. His relationship with the Lin father and son was okay, at least on the surface.
Feng Kun put down the birdcage, leaned over, and leaned over the round table, his pair of feminine and sharp phoenix eyes were close at hand.
Li Yi gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his eyes: "Your Majesty is old and ill, I'm afraid... Prime Minister Feng, the Fourth Prince is young, I'm sure you also know that His Majesty ultimately favors the Third Prince!"
The third prince, his mother’s family is Lin.
Now Feng Kun and Lin are on equal footing, and Feng Kun is deeply favored by the emperor. Many times, Lin and his son have to avoid his edge.
But what happens after the third prince ascends the throne?
Now that Li Yi has arrived, he no longer hides his true intentions. And now, the Lin family and their sons are intent on gaining control of the border army.
Feng Kun's nonchalant look disappeared, and her feminine and fair face suddenly became fierce!
Li Yi dropped to his knees with a thud, "Xie Ci and I, from now on, are willing to serve Prime Minister Feng at our utmost service!"
Since he was willing to see him, Li Yi was 50% sure.
There is no point in hiding it. Feng Kun knows more than himself. Only when the two of them are tied together can they have more power.
Li Yi had been trying to get closer to the royal family in order to avoid being trapped in a real party, but now he gritted his teeth and went all out.
Li Yi lowered his head and held his breath. The sharp gaze from the leader fell on his head. He tensed his body and knelt down without moving.
After just a dozen breaths, which seemed like a very long time, Li Yi finally heard the voice of the leader.
Feng Kun stood up: "Remember what you said today."
Finally, the final word was given.
The draft whistled past, and Li Yi's tense heart suddenly relaxed. He took two breaths and said, "Yes!"
The author has something to say:
Li Yi knows a lot of inside stories, not to mention Feng Kun. There is no point in hiding it. If the two are tied together, the bargaining chips will be strong enough.
The feminine and sharp beauty holds the seal of power, hass, Ah Xiu wipes her saliva, hahahaha
The dawn has finally come! There will be progress on the love line tomorrow, hahahaha, I give you a big kiss! See you tomorrow, my dears~ (づ￣3￣)づ╭
Love you guys!!!
