After rebirth, I was entangled by the enemy's protons

Chapter 188 The Brothers Are Against the Wall

Xiao Yan hooked his lips, and he had already controlled the saddle and started to start.

Chu Yi had no choice but to turn around and give instructions: "Yin Bing, follow up, and others should not approach Baizhang."

On the way, Xiao Yan introduced Wei Yuanshan to her.

He could only recall memories related to Chu Yi, but he knew that Wei Yuanshan was the future Jin Emperor.

This means that his uncle probably had some relationship with Chu Yi in his previous life. With the princess, he might be able to recall more memories.

After hearing his words, Chu Yi couldn't help asking:

"According to what you said, this eldest prince is as close as a family to the high priest of the state of Jin, whose younger sister Hanyan Princess is also the wife of the high priest. Moreover, he learned in advance that the old Jin emperor was boiled But this New Year's event has already been prepared...why did he fail to seize the throne?"

"We'll know when we get there, but now, the only explanation is...that high priest has betrayed." Xiao Yan's eyes darkened slightly.

A while later, the two turned around and came to Feibai Mohang on East Fourth Street.

Xiao Yan said: "This is the biggest stronghold of Wuzhen Building in Shangjing."

"You don't have to worry about me copying the rivers and lakes stronghold in Shangjing." Chu Yi raised her head, looked at the plaque of Feibai Moxing, and curled up her lips.

Xiao Yan said: "If I copied it, then I can only rely on you, Ah Yi, to support me."

"Ahem, forget it." Chu Yi thought of the few copper coins she left for the storyteller just now, and felt very heartbroken.

Walking into the store, the four treasures of the study, calligraphy and paintings by famous masters are placed on the wooden shelves inside, and a clerk immediately greets them.

"What do you two young masters need? Langhao emblem ink, jade inkstone and rice paper, as long as it is related to the four treasures of the study, we Feibai ink shop has everything you need."

Chu Yi was dressed in men's clothes, and dressed like a man, Mo Xing's clerk couldn't tell her gender for a while, only thought that the two of them had outstanding looks, and they must have extraordinary identities.

Chu Yi used to like calligraphy and painting, so she observed this place and nodded.

Judging from the layout here, it can be seen that the profit of Wuxiang Building should not be small.

Xiao Yan took out the token of Wushilou to signal, and asked, "Where's Uncle Chu?"

The shopkeeper of Moxing saw the token from a distance, rushed out immediately, and said excitedly: "This subordinate has seen the young master! Please come down with the subordinate."

The two followed the shopkeeper into the backyard of Moxing, Xiao Yan deliberately held Chu Yi's hand until the door of a room, the shopkeeper explained: "The landlord went out to find a doctor, Mr. Jiang and... that one are inside. "

"That person" is Wei Yuanshan, the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom.

Xiao Yan knocked on the door, and a hoarse "Come in" came from the room, and a young man in white opened the door.

"Gong... son?!"

Jiang Mufan was very surprised by the appearance of Xiao Yan and Chu Yi, but he still reacted quickly, folded his hands, and saluted him with his thumbs together.

"I've seen you, son, you're here so soon."

It was less than half a day since he and His Royal Highness came to the Shangjing stronghold of Wushilou, but Xiao Yan did not expect that Xiao Yan would come in person.

Xiao Yan looked at Jiang Mufan indifferently, the young man was still as thin and handsome as a few months ago, wearing white clothes, but his hair was disheveled, his face was a little pale, and the hem of his clothes was still splattered with blood.

Half a year ago, Wei Yuanshan planned to fight for the throne after the death of the old Jin emperor. In order to prevent himself from failing, the people of Yong State killed Xiao Yan. He gave all his power in Yan State, that is, Jiang Mufan and others to him Xiao Yan.

But soon, Jiang Mufan was worried that Wei Yuanshan would not be available in Jin State, so after handing over his subordinates to Xianying, he returned to Jin State alone.

Later, Xiao Yan felt that something would happen to Jiang Mufan, so he specially ordered the people in Wuxianglou in Jin to help them if something happened to Wei Yuanshan.

That's why Wei Yuanshan and Jiang Mufan came all the way to Shangjing under the escort of Wuzhenlou.

Xiao Yan thought of the difference between Xianying in his previous life and the present Yingying, and became even more certain that Jiang Mufan must have died in the Jin Kingdom in his previous life. In addition, Xianying was blind in one eye, and his temperament changed completely.

Jiang Mufan's right arm was injured, but he still insisted on making a complete salute to Xiao Yan.

"It happened that I wasn't in the palace, so I rushed over after receiving the news." Xiao Yan explained, looking behind him.

There, lay a middle-aged man in a navy blue robe with a pale face.

"Ayan... I didn't expect that you are so tall now."

The man's voice was extremely weak, he raised his hand with difficulty, and Jiang Mufan quickly helped him sit up.

The man stared fixedly at Xiao Yan's face, thinking of something. His dark golden eyes were extremely deep, and he said seriously: "You are very similar to Wei Rudai, even more like when you were a child. Ayan, we haven't seen each other for eight years."

When Xiao Yan heard him mentioning Wei Rudai, his eyes didn't change at all, and he asked indifferently: "Your Highness, it's the same as it was eight years ago, but why did you get hurt like this?"

The last time he saw Wei Yuanshan was in Yongguo Palace eight years ago.

During the twelfth lunar month of that year, he lived alone in the cold palace, without charcoal fire or food, and could only drink the melted snow water brought in from outside.

He knew that Xiao Jixing wanted to starve or freeze himself to death.

Unexpectedly, it happened that Wei Yuanshan was on a mission to the Yong Kingdom at that time, so he asked about him, the son of the late emperor, not only met him, but also kept Jiang Xianying to protect him.

But in fact, Jiang Xianying at that time was only a young man with a fledgling martial arts, and he stayed to suffer with himself.

Wei Yuanshan used his status as the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom to warn those in the Yong Kingdom who wished to get rid of him quickly. Regardless of whether Wei Rudai had left the Jin royal family or not, Wei Rudai was his sister, and Xiao Yan was Wei Yuanshan's nephew.

Wei Yuanshan is the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom who is most likely to become the crown prince. Since he wants to save Xiao Yan, the future emperor of the Jin Kingdom, no one else dares to move.

Later, those people gradually gave up the idea of ​​killing him, and turned to cutting his flesh with soft knives, raising him and disposing of him, and then thinking about killing him with a knife.

Last year when Yong State was defeated, Xiao Jixing finally succeeded in sending him to Yan State as a hostage.

"I'm old, but you are still young. I still remember the first time I saw you, you were only a few months old, and you couldn't even call your mother..."

Wei Yuanshan's speech was intermittent, he only said one sentence, and he was about to rest for a while, obviously seriously injured.

He talked for a long time, seeing that Xiao Yan hadn't listened carefully, he could only look at Chu Yi.

Then, he saw Chu Yi and Xiao Yan shaking hands, his pupils shrank: "You two? This young master is..."

Wei Yuanshan was so shocked that he almost lost his composure, and asked Jiang Mufan involuntarily with his eyes.

Why didn't he and his nephew see each other for eight years, and when they first met, he saw his nephew holding hands with a young man?

Why do the two of them seem to be a good match?
Didn't Jiang Mufan tell himself that Xiao Yan has a good relationship with Princess Yongning of Yan Kingdom?
Could it be that Princess Yongning is just a cover, that his nephew... has gone astray?

Jiang Mufan just noticed this, he didn't know Chu Yi, his pupils quivered in shock, and said that he didn't know why.

"Wait, Ayan," Wei Yuanshan stammered a little, "Didn't you become Princess Yongning's bodyguard? What, what's going on—"

Chu Yi finally had a chance to speak, she shook off Xiao Yan's hand with lightning speed, coughed, and said politely, "Uncle Wei, I am Princess Yongning Chu Yi."

The clear and clean sound is like the gurgling spring water under the moonlight.

Wei Yuanshan opened his eyes wide in surprise, looked at her carefully, and finally found that the young man in front of him was too handsome, more like a little girl.

He was relieved, thankfully.

"Chu...you are Princess Yongning? But how did I hear that Princess Yongning of Yan Kingdom is not in good health?"

Chu Yi covered her lips and coughed: "It's not very good, but it's not completely bad."

She was also observing Wei Yuanshan.

The first time Chu Yi saw this man, he was sure of his identity. Wei Yuanshan had a pair of sharp eagle-like eyes, the color of which was darker golden than Xiao Yan's, his facial features were deep and handsome, and he was similar to Xiao Yan. very similar.

However, his lips were blue, his face was ugly, and his breath was even weaker.

"What's going on, and, are you poisoned?" Xiao Yan asked.

Jiang Mufan said sadly: "Brother Fei Bai went out to find the doctor precisely because of His Highness' injury."

Only then did he explain: "The late emperor passed away suddenly, and all the people arranged by His Royal Highness died suddenly overnight. The Imperial Army surrounded the Prince's Mansion, and his subordinates could only escort His Royal Highness to escape from Jiangcheng together. The young master and the young master also sent out of Jiangcheng."

Jiangcheng is the capital of the state of Jin.

"Thanks to your son's help, we came to Shangjing under the escort of Brother Fei Bai, but we were also chased and killed by the high priest and the third prince's people all the way. Someone injured His Royal Highness with a hidden weapon, and the hidden weapon was poisonous..."

Xiao Yan's eyes were dark, it seemed that he guessed right, that high priest really betrayed Wei Yuanshan.

Wei Yuanshan half-lyed on the sickbed, and said: "It should be the most common Changhen powder applied on hidden weapons. Although the poison is common, the medicinal materials needed for the antidote are very precious, and only the royal family of Jin has them."

His eyes were full of helplessness and sadness: "But now the ones chasing me are my younger brothers."

Chu Yi frowned, and looked at Xiao Yan calmly, but did not speak.

Wei Yuanshan is Xiao Yan's biological uncle, and now he has been poisoned, and Xiao Yan's blood can cure all poisons.

She didn't speak because Xiao Yan should decide whether to save or not. Even if Wei Yuanshan is the future emperor of Jin, if he saves him, he will get a great favor, but taking blood will hurt Xiao Yan of.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes when he heard Wei Yuanshan's words: "Let Chu Feibai find the antidote first."

Even if he wanted to save Wei Yuanshan, he couldn't say too much right away.

Wei Yuanshan didn't know what the two of them were thinking, he looked at Chu Yi enviously, his dark golden eyes dimmed.

How can you not envy the royal family of Yan Kingdom?

Being in the royal family, he is involuntary in everything he does. Wei Yuanshan has to fight for the throne since he was born. Brothers fight each other and kill each other. This is a common occurrence, and he has even gotten used to it.

But the country of Yan is different.

All countries know that the crown prince of Yan State was established as soon as their emperor ascended the throne, and his status is stable and his ability is outstanding.

Under such circumstances, there were almost no conflicts among the brothers... Even the fourth prince who was demoted as a commoner and exiled, in the eyes of the Jin Kingdom, he had a very good end.

At least, the fourth prince is still alive, but his own younger brother wants him to die.

Wei Yuanshan let out a long sigh.

Xiao Yan frowned, and asked again: "Didn't the eldest prince say that he was already prepared to seize the throne, and the plan was perfect? ​​Why did it fail?"

Wei Yuanshan took a sip of the tea Mu Fan handed over, then sneered, and said:
"Everyone was deceived. All of this was a trap set up by the late emperor. His purpose was to pave the way for his favorite third child. My second child and I are just the whetstones for the third child."

Chu Yi connected with what he knew before, that the ones competing for the throne in the Kingdom of Jin were the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince. Among them, Wei Yuanshan, the eldest prince, was the most capable one.

I just didn't expect that he would say that.

Wei Yuanshan was lost in memory, and talked about it.

"Three years ago, the first emperor, together with Qingrong, the high priest of our Jin Kingdom, released the news that he was about to die. The third child, who behaved in grief, became the crown prince in his heart."

Chu Yi listened in surprise, recalling the rumors she had heard before, the Jin Kingdom did always report that the old Jin Emperor was going to die, and it had been going on for several years.

In the end, no one knows whether it is true or not.

"It's a pity that the third child is not up to the mark. He has no talent, no morals, and no brains. He can't compete with the second child and me. The late emperor asked Qingrong to escort him. Qingrong bewitched the second child to rebel. Yan's relationship attracted me, so I naturally believed in him, until the late Emperor really passed away, Qingrong already knew all my arrangements!"

At the end, Wei Yuanshan gritted his teeth, his dark golden eyes were bloodshot.

All the preparations he had made for seizing the throne, he almost didn't hide Qingrong. He didn't expect that Qingrong would betray him at the most critical moment, which caught him off guard!

And the second child was somehow persuaded by him, and decided to join forces with the third child to get rid of himself, the biggest threat, first.

If Xiao Yan's Wushilou hadn't secretly escorted him out of Jin, at least one of him and Mu Fan would have died in Jiangcheng.

Xiao Yan, saved his life!

Xiao Yan was beside him, explaining to Chu Yi the identity of the High Priest of Jin State in a low voice.

"One is the old emperor who is about to pass away, and the other is the new emperor who is in his prime. Why did the high priest choose to help the late emperor? Besides, you are his wife's brother."

Wei Yuanshan said in a low voice: "His calculation is naturally that the third idiot becomes the new king, and the Jin Kingdom will become the Jin Kingdom he celebrates."

Moreover, he had ambitions in his heart, and he had revealed to Qingrong long ago that if he ascended the throne, he would definitely make every effort to clean up those useless officials in the court.

Although Qingrong was not among those officials, many of them were fans of Qingrong.

He should have noticed it a long time ago, but unfortunately he didn't see it through.

Chu Yi understood that the third prince was nothing but a waste bag, and the High Priest Qingrong supported him to the throne, which was equivalent to holding the king of a country in his hands.

As for the life of his wife and elder brother, of course it is not as important as his own power.
