Chapter 269 See You Again
"Every day is the same." Li Zhaonian said weakly, "I don't know how long I can endure this day."
Li Jifeng was silent for a moment. "The war in Beilin has ended. Beirong has lost its future king. I believe that in the next ten years, the people of Beirong will not dare to climb over that mountain again."
"Without Huyantuo, there will be other tribes." Li Zhaonian said slowly: "The war will not stop because people are greedy by nature."
Li Jifeng felt the deep disappointment in Li Zhaonian's heart from his words.
Everyone had plots against him, and he was deserted by his friends and relatives. In the end, the only one left by his side was Li Jifeng, his younger brother who was not close to him before.
"The court is not peaceful today, right?" Li Zhaonian asked.
Li Zhaonian was bedridden and was only awake for a few hours every day. He only went to court once every few days. On weekdays, Li Jifeng acted as regent as the crown prince.
Li Jifeng said: "My brother's imperial decree to establish the crown prince has put me in the spotlight. Jiang Shi has been behind the scenes."
Chu poisoned and murdered him, but Li Zhaonian could not produce any evidence.
In order to push Li Zhaonian's legitimate son to the throne, Chu poisoned Li Zhaonian, but they never expected that an imperial edict issued by Li Zhaonian after waking up completely shattered their plan.
They will not stop here. The best solution is to kill Li Jifeng. Li Jifeng has suffered several assassination attempts in recent days. The most dangerous one was that the assassin almost put a knife on his neck. If it were not for his kung fu, perhaps Jiang would have succeeded.
"The elder has passed away." Li Zhaonian said, "Fortunately Jiang Ji stepped up and managed to stabilize the situation."
Li Jifeng touched his robe and said, "Jiang Ji has some skills, but his influence in the court is far less than that of Jiang Gelao. Now he is also struggling."
Li Zhaonian pressed his forehead in pain and said, "It's too chaotic. The world is too chaotic."
"If you take out the history books of the last dynasties and take a look, you won't find it so confusing. The history books have already been beautified," said Li Jifeng.
Li Zhaonian stared at the closed window for a while, and suddenly said, "Open the window and let me take a look at the snow. I may not be able to see the next snow."
He was an emperor, but he acted so cowardly.
Whenever he wanted to open the window, the eunuchs and palace maids would kneel on the ground, saying that the imperial physician had said that His Majesty could not stand the wind, and they would kowtow and beg for mercy.
He doesn't want their lives, he just wants to watch a
It's just snow, but it's so difficult.
Li Jifeng paused for a moment, then stood up and opened the window.
It was snowing heavily outside the window. Li Zhaonian stuck his head out, but still couldn't see the distant palace wall. Perhaps only death could allow him to fly away from this place.
A cold wind blew in.
Li Zhaonian covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, and Li Jifeng immediately reached out to close the window.
"Brother, take care of yourself."
"Yes." Li Zhaonian retracted his gaze, "I want to see her again."
"Who does my brother want to see?" Li Jifeng didn't react for a moment, "Just send someone to tell him."
After he finished speaking, he did not hear Li Zhaonian's reply. When he turned around, he saw that Li Zhaonian had closed his eyes.

Xie Tingzhou's coma lasted for a whole day, and when he woke up, they had not yet left Shuozhou.
Last night we heard that the official road ahead had collapsed, making it difficult to move forward. The government office was already repairing it, so the team had to stop on the road and find a post station to temporarily settle down.
Shuozhou is adjacent to Beilin. In the past few years, Beilin helped when the army encountered disasters and banditry. The prefect was extremely grateful to Beilin, so the army had no obstruction when passing through Shuozhou.
Chang Heng knelt in the corridor, crying with tears and snot.
Doctor Yu came out after a long time and whispered, "The prince asked you to go in."
Chang Heng nodded, "Then I, then I will tell the truth."
"What else can we do if we don't tell the truth?" Doctor Yu said, "The prince is more sensitive than ordinary people. If you can't hide it, then don't hide it."
Chang Heng stood up and walked in, then knelt in the room again, "Prince."
The conditions at the post station were not very good, and the charcoal stove had to be moved by Jin Weilin himself.
Xie Tingzhou didn't say anything for a long time. He was half lying on the bed, holding a hot water bottle in his hand. The blue veins on the back of his cold white hand were very obvious.
"Go ahead."
"Yes." Chang Heng wiped his face, "But Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Regarding the battle situation at Yanliang Pass, I didn't lie in the first part. The princess won the battle during the counterattack, but, the princess chased the deserters into the territory of Xijue."
Xie Tingzhou closed his eyes.
When he woke up yesterday, he was still not fully conscious, but when he heard that Chen Yu was fine, he went to sleep peacefully.
But when he woke up again and recalled Chang Heng's words, it was easy to analyze what was wrong.
Chang Heng refused to admit it when he was called over. Xie Tingzhou was so anxious that he almost fell over.
.
"She was chasing the remnants of the army a few days ago?" Xie Tingzhou asked.
"From the express mail we received, it has been..." Chang Heng was a little afraid to look at Xie Tingzhou's face, "it has been more than ten days."
Chang Heng immediately added: "Now that the official road is blocked, maybe the princess has already returned to Yanliang Pass, but the urgent delivery cannot be sent in. Besides, the old prince has already led the troops there, the princess will definitely be fine."
Then she started crying again, "Your Highness, please punish me. You can punish me in any way you want. I lied because I was afraid that Your Highness would be anxious."
Xie Tingzhou was annoyed and speechless, so he waved his hand and said, "Get up."
"I can't afford it." Chang Heng said.
"You want me to help you?"
Chang Heng stood up in a flash, wanting to make amends, "Your Majesty, I'll have someone go check on how the official road is being dug."
…
A head count is being conducted in the camp.
Chen Yu and Xiao Chuan attacked from the front and back, dispersed the Xijue pursuers, and vented their anger for being trapped and beaten in the city.
Xijue suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining remnants fled in all directions. Chen Yu did not chase them, but led his men directly to attack Huanglong and captured the Cha Risong camp where Xijue had set up camp.
There was a lot of noise outside the tent.
Xiao Chuan sniffed and said, "Why does the Xijue people's territory smell so strong? It smells terrible."
Chen Yu asked, "Is it worse than the military tent in summer?"
"No, not really." Xiao Chuan picked up the bowl and took a sip of hot milk, then spit out Chuan, "Pah, why is this thing so smelly? Oh my god, is this bad? Why do people in the Western Jue love to drink this stuff?"
Shen Yu picked up the bowl and smelled it, but she was not used to the smell, so she put the bowl aside.
This time they defeated the elite troops and occupied the Xijue camp, which made Xiao Chuan very excited. "We will use their Xijue food to feed our soldiers and horses, and make Boda die of anger."
"No." Chen Yu said, "We will rest here for a day and set off tomorrow."
"Why?" Xiao Chuan was stunned. "We took down the camp with great difficulty, and we are going back just like that?"
Chen Yu said: "I have inspected their camp before. The Great Zhou looked down on the barren land of Western Jue, so they never thought that anyone would set foot in the heart of Western Jue. It is useless to take down this camp. The defense is not good. We can't stay here for long, otherwise if Boda leads his troops here, we will be very passive."
