Yuchi Yan lowered his head, a few strands of white hair hanging down. The deep creases between his eyebrows were very obvious even when he was not frowning.
"Where can we go if we leave the capital?"
Gu Shixiong coughed several times. He was over ninety years old and had long since lost his strength, so his voice was very weak when he spoke.
"Wang Ye, although you are still the Zhennan Wang in the capital, you should know better than me whether or not this Zhennan Wang has any real power, and how thick the irony is. The reason why Li Qitian kept us alive was to show off his glorious achievement of wiping out Great Yan. The reason why we relied on him to survive was actually built on Li Qitian's trick.
"Now that the situation is changing, Li Qitian has repeatedly done stupid things, ruined his own reputation, and caused public opinion to lean towards Pang Xiao. In this old man's humble opinion, these two people will definitely fight in the future. If we continue to stay here in the future, Wang Ye will likely be affected. It is better to take advantage of the fact that Li Qitian has not noticed this place and quietly escape. In the future, the sky will be high and the land will be wide. "
"The sky will be wide and the land will be wide?" Yuchi Yan bitterly smiled and shook his head. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened because of his bitter smile. "You mean, after we leave, we will be an ordinary farmer?"
"If we want to live a peaceful life, Wang Ye's best choice is to be an ordinary farmer. In the future, we will buy a few mu of land, buy some real estate, and marry a wife. We will forget the past, forget our own origins, and be a person without a past, only a future. "
The room was silent. Yuchi Yan's eyes were hazy with tears, but in the end, he cried and laughed.
"I really can't accept this. I can't accept this. Ever since Imperial Father gave me that mess, everything I have done was because I was forced to do so. But why did all of this happen? Why? Why do I have to go through this kind of life? "
Gu Shixiong sighed and patted Yuchi Yan's trembling shoulder. "This is fate. Wang Ye has enjoyed glory and wealth in his life, and also experienced the pain of the destruction of his country. If he can completely let go, it is not a bad thing to live a peaceful life."
Yuchi Yan raised her head and looked at Gu Shixiong through her tears.
Gu Shixiong nodded encouragingly at him.
"… Alright, we'll do as you say. Let's find a time to think of a way to escape. "
Gu Shixiong nodded in satisfaction. "This old man has assisted three generations of emperors in his life. If I can protect you and keep you safe and away from disaster, I will not let down my ancestors."
"If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would have died long ago." Yuchi Yan shook his head and sighed. "I used to have a lofty heart, but I didn't have the ability to do so. I just gave you trouble for no reason. Now that everything has passed, I feel as if I've just woken up from a dream. This world had long belonged to someone else. And if I can live on like this, it can be considered good fortune. "
"You're too serious. In the end, this old official is useless … "
"Old teacher!"
Yuchi Yan and Gu Shixiong both felt extremely sad. They hugged each other and cried bitterly.
The next day, the chief official of Zhennan Wang's residence discovered that Yuchi Yan and Gu Shixiong were missing. He hurriedly reported the news to Li Qitian.
When Li Qitian heard about it, he was silent for a moment. He casually ordered, "Go after them." Then he didn't say anything else. In his eyes, it didn't matter whether Yuchi Yan went or stayed, whether he lived or died. He kept such a useless emperor alive just to play with him. If he lost him, then he lost him. It wasn't a big deal to just think of it as losing a lapdog.
What was important was the current war in Beijiang and Pang Xiao's attitude.
In front of everyone, Li Qitian's anger was directly proportional to the anxiety in his heart. At this time, Pang Xiao was already a general who didn't obey military orders. He also had a large number of troops in his hands. Li Qitian himself had also been on the battlefield. He was most clear about the feelings of comrades who fought together on the battlefield. Objectively speaking, Pang Xiao was indeed a person who would easily attract people to follow him.
First, Li Qitian was really worried that Pang Xiao on the frontlines would respond to his call. Instead of dealing with Tatan, he would turn around and directly attack the capital.
When that time came, what would he use to resist?
Li Qitian knew that he didn't have the strength to fight against Pang Xiao.
Right now, he could only pray that Tatan and Lu Heng were a bit stronger and that Pang Xiao would consume a bit more of their forces. He vaguely felt that his side could win this time. But if they could consume more of their forces, wouldn't Pang Xiao have to think twice before coming back to the capital to cause trouble?
Qin Yining sent Tian Jizi's obituary directly to the military camp. When Mu Jinghu heard about it, he was so shocked that he couldn't control himself.
"It can't be. Master said that she would live to be almost one hundred and twenty years old. How could she have died like this!"
Pang Xiao pursed his lips and patted Mu Jinghu's shoulder guiltily. "I'm sorry, Blockhead. I was too selfish to transfer you to my side. If I didn't bring you here and you focused on staying by your master's side, she wouldn't have died. "
Mu Jinghu shook his head, his eyes still lifeless. "This matter has nothing to do with you. I came to protect you. Firstly, it was my idea, and secondly, it was also Master's idea. She wanted me to stay by your side, but I didn't expect … "
"But Fairy Lady died to save Sister Yi. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
Pang Xiao didn't feel much about Tian Jizi's death. But he and Mu Jinghu were close friends, and he knew that the purpose of Tian Jizi's master accepting Mu Jinghu as his disciple was to protect Tian Jizi. Now that Mu Jinghu was no longer by Tian Jizi's side to protect him, and Tian Jizi was shot while saving Qin Yining and died from her injuries, Pang Xiao felt very guilty.
Mu Jinghu was stunned for two days before he gradually accepted the truth.
Because the people of Tian Ji Sect and Qiu Feishan had sent him letters. One letter said that Tian Jizi's body had been buried in Tian Ji Sect, and the other letter was a consolation and confession.
Qiu Feishan still often wrote letters to Mu Jinghu to express her feelings, and Mu Jinghu's heart had long been shaken. Now that he suddenly heard the news of Tian Jizi's death, his heart was at its weakest. Qiu Feishan's letters made him feel better, and his rejection of Qiu Feishan was also not so strong.
The war with the Tatan had progressed to its climax. At the beginning of the third month, Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu led the army to the border, forcing Si Qin and Lu Heng's troops to retreat to the desert.
Lu Heng looked at the yellow sand in front of him, and his thoughts had already flown far away.
That day when he and Qin Yining were kidnapped by Si Qin, they were forced to cross this desert. Thinking back to that day, the scenes seemed to be right in front of him. At that time, Qin Yining respected him and trusted him. But now, he had become a traitor to the country, and Qin Yining's husband had become the vanguard to eliminate the traitor.
In this lifetime, he might not be fated to meet Qin Yining.
"What are you thinking about?" Si Qin came out of the tent and saw Lu Heng standing by the desert. Suspicion flashed in his eyes.
