There was a heater burning in the room, and Ye Yunting slept very peacefully. However, when he slept until midnight, he vaguely heard some noises coming from around him. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw Li Fengqi sitting beside the bed.

, is lowering his head to adjust his clothes.

"What's wrong?" He glanced out the window and found that it was dark outside and it was not yet dawn.

"The hunting falcon is back." Li Fengqi said: "Did it wake you up? If you wake up, please come with me."

The Falcon is back...

Ye Yunting's sleepiness was instantly shaken by these words. He stood up quickly, went to get his robe and put it on: "I'll go with you."

Li Fengqi was already sitting in the wheelchair. He nodded gently, turned the wheelchair and went out: "I am in the study."

Returning with the Falcon was Zhu Lie, the younger brother of Deputy Governor Zhu Wen.

Zhu Lie is twenty-eight this year. He is the long history of the Northern Xinjiang Governor's Office and is in charge of the internal affairs of the Northern Xinjiang Governor's Office. Zhu Wen is the deputy governor and is responsible for border defense. He is not allowed to move without military orders. There must be something urgent this time.

Zhu Lie was sent.

Ye Yunting followed Li Fengqi to the study room and saw a burly man waiting there, with a familiar looking falcon on his arm.

When Zhu Lie saw Li Fengqi, he quickly stepped forward to salute and called him "Prince." When he saw Ye Yunting, he paused and expressed doubts: "Who is this?" The young master looked at him with his gentle skin and tender flesh, and he looked like them.

These rough guys fighting on the battlefield are different.

How can the prince tolerate such a pretty boy?

Zhu Lie glanced at Ye Yunting critically, thinking that his body couldn't withstand the prince's kick.

But then he thought about how the prince was sitting in a wheelchair and couldn't kick his feet. No wonder this frail little pretty boy could still stand peacefully. He clicked his tongue twice in his heart and glanced at Ye Yunting sympathetically, thinking that he would wait until the prince recovered.

Body, this pretty boy is about to run away without saying a word.

The only ones who can stay with the prince for a long time are a few old fried dough sticks with rough skin and thick flesh.

Ye Yunting saw him looking at him with sympathy, and his expression gradually became confused. But he still took the initiative to report his name: "Ye Yunting."

Zhu Lie clicked his tongue and thought that the name seemed familiar. But after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't remember where he had heard it before. He simply stopped worrying, closed the door, and got down to business.

He took out a dark wooden box behind him and cursed: "Thanks to the prince for letting the hunting falcon deliver the message this time, otherwise I'm afraid I would really have fallen into the trap of the traitor."

Zhu Lie said that a few days before receiving Li Fengqi's secret letter, the supervisor Zhao Yan and his party sent by the emperor arrived at the Northern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion.

Several border armies in Beizhao have supervisory troops, but Northern Xinjiang has never had supervisory troops.

This is because when the old King Yongan was still there, Emperor Chengzong trusted him very much and never sent any supervisory troops to restrict him. So later, when the old King Yongan passed away, Li Fengqi inherited the title of King Yongan and became the leader of Northern Xinjiang with his military merit.

As for the position of governor, the Northern Xinjiang Army has never set up a supervisory army.

Li Zong suddenly sent Lieutenant Zhao Yan of the Shence Guard Army to the Governor's Mansion in Northern Xinjiang to act as a supervisor. The whole thing was a little fishy. Zhu Wen suspected that something had happened in the capital, but he sent people to inquire several times but only found some vague clues.

There is news. Some say that King Yongan was poisoned not long ago, others say that King Yongan was assassinated... In short, there is no concrete statement.

Zhao Yan was even more arrogant and arrogant in his behavior in the army. Zhu Wen became more and more suspicious, so he followed his lead and got Zhao Yan drunk, and only then did he get the exact information from him.

Drunk Zhao Yan said that the king of Yong'an had great achievements and had been regarded as a thorn in the emperor's side for a long time. Now the poisoning played into the emperor's hands. He imprisoned the person in the palace in the name of recuperation, but deliberately did not send a medical officer to treat him. He left for Northern Xinjiang to listen to the news.

The arrogant King Yong'an can only lie in bed and linger like a useless person, with only a few days left to live. The Xuanjia Army under King Yong'an, and even the entire Northern Xinjiang Army, will be in the emperor's pocket.

Although Zhu Wen was a few years older than Li Fengqi, he had always been the most admired by him. Which of the brothers who followed Li Fengqi didn't follow Li Fengqi to fight out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood?

Therefore, after hearing Zhao Yan's words, Zhu Wen's energy and blood surged to his head, so he ordered his troops and horses to go to the capital to rescue Li Fengqi.

Zhu Wen was a rough man with an impulsive temper, and he would never listen to anyone slandering King Yong'an in his life, so Zhao Yan's words completely aroused his anger. But Zhu Lie preferred to be more prudent in his actions. He always felt that this

The whole thing was full of evil spirit, so he persuaded several other generals to suppress the impulsive Zhu Wen, and prepared to secretly send people to the capital to find out the information. After getting the exact information, they could plan the next move.

Unexpectedly, just a few days after the spies were sent out, they discovered the falcon and the secret message tied to the falcon's leg in the governor's mansion.

After reading the letter, Zhu Wen confirmed that Li Fengqi was fine for the time being. After calming down, several generals summed up the causes and consequences and realized that something was wrong - they had almost fallen into Zhao Yan's trap.

They held their breath but did not attack immediately. Instead, they sent someone to keep an eye on Zhao Yan secretly. However, they unexpectedly discovered that Zhao Yan had been exchanging letters with the Yin family these days.

They kept calm and followed the clues to investigate, and found that there were tens of thousands of Jizhou troops hiding in the mountains at the junction of Weizhou and Jizhou.

Jizhou was under the jurisdiction of Yunrong Dudufu, and Yin Xiaozhi, the chief governor of Yunrong Dudufu, was the emperor's confidant.

At this moment, there are a large number of Jizhou troops hiding in the mountains from Weizhou to Jizhou, which already illustrates the problem.

Only then did they realize that the emperor had deliberately sent Zhao Yan to provoke them and lead them to raise troops and fight back to the capital. If the emperor were to label them as rebels, the Jizhou army ambushing them in the mountains would be able to ambush them openly and in good faith.

Said to quell the rebellion.

Zhu Wen, who was previously impulsive, did not expect that the little emperor could be so ruthless. When he thought of the 100,000 direct Xuanjia troops he had ordered, his back was soaked with cold sweat.

Therefore, he immediately sent Zhu Lie to rush back to Beijing to meet with Li Fengqi to confirm the situation.

Li Fengqi was naturally well aware of Zhu Wen's impulsive nature and said coldly: "This incident will also help him remember a lot, so as not to fall into someone else's trap next time."

Zhu Lie nodded repeatedly and did not dare to plead for his elder brother. He opened the wooden box in his hand and held it in front of Li Fengqi: "After we got the evidence, we killed Zhao Yan in the name of deceiving the army. I specially killed him."

I brought the head on my neck. There is also some written evidence. Your Majesty will see what to do with it."

In the open wooden box, Zhao Yan's eyes widened and he refused to close his eyes.

Li Fengqi subconsciously glanced at Ye Yunting beside him. Seeing that he had no fear on his face, he thought about it for a while and said: "You summoned the fifth watch and asked him to prepare the sedan to prepare for the court. Since the evidence is complete, let's hurry up sooner rather than later. I

Go and give Li Zong a big gift in person."

After speaking, the corner of his mouth curled up coldly: "I'll go back to my room and change into court clothes first."

After that, he called Ye Yunting to go back to the room together.

Ye Yunting paused for a moment and stepped forward to ask Zhu Lie for the falcon: "The mission of the falcon has been completed. General, please give it to me."

"Is this falcon yours?" Zhu Lie handed the falcon to him and asked doubtfully, "How do I remember that this falcon was taken back by the Yin family? How did it end up in your hands?"

"My colleagues borrowed it. Now that the mission is completed, it's time to return it."

Zhu Lie suddenly understood and laughed loudly: "Then you have been of great help this time. It is not easy to find a hunting falcon that can only deliver letters."

He originally thought that Ye Yunting looked like a pretty boy, but he didn't expect that he would show such strength. No wonder the prince brought him with him, he turned out to be his benefactor.

Since he is the prince's benefactor, he is naturally his benefactor. Zhu Lie looked a little more close to him. Because he was taller than him, he raised his hand and put his shoulder. The two brothers said: "Since we are both under the prince's command,

If you work hard, then we are all brothers. When you are free another day, I will treat you to a drink."

"..." Ye Yunting hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to tell him or not that she was actually Princess Yong'an in name only.

After just a moment of hesitation, Li Fengqi, who was approaching the door, turned around and said in an unpredictable tone: "Zhu Lie, whose brother are you?"

Zhu Lie looked at him blankly, not knowing what was wrong with his words, and said hesitantly: "Young Master Ye looks weak at best. I wonder how many years older he is..."

It’s okay to call yourself an older brother... right?

"I think you have been in Northern Xinjiang for a long time and your brain is dull." Li Fengqi sneered coldly: "It just so happens that the palace is short of manpower. In the past few days, you have been responsible for taking care of all the affairs of the palace, so you can use your brain a lot."

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and called Ye Yunting to leave together.

Zhu Lie was confused. He didn't know how to be punished if he spoke properly. He followed closely behind him and shouted unwillingly: "Your Majesty, I am a rough man. I need to find a careful and thoughtful manager for this house.

…”

Li Fengqi didn't even look back and went back to the main room with Ye Yunting.

Zhu Lie stood there, watching the two people enter a room, and finally discovered a question that he had always forgotten. He grabbed a maid who was holding a lantern and asked: "What is Mr. Ye's identity?"

The prince usually hates other people getting close to him, so why did he change his clothes and let Mr. Ye accompany him?

When the maid saw that he was tall and fierce, she lowered her head in fear and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Ye, Mr. Ye? Are you talking about the princess?"

"..."

Zhu Lie's eyes gradually widened, and he finally patted his head and finished speaking.

This frail and handsome pretty boy turned out to be the princess.

No wonder he thought the name was familiar. How could it not be? When he first arrived at the palace, he told him when he opened the door at the fifth watch that the prince now has a concubine who is celebrating his happiness. She is the eldest son of the Duke's palace. Her name is Ye.

, he only focused on looking for the prince at that time, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Zhu Lie gradually gave up on himself, thinking that if he was punished, he would be punished. He also acted as the princess' brother for a while, which was not a disadvantage.

Ye Yunting and Li Fengqi returned to the room and took out the court clothes for him.

Li Fengqi loosened his regular clothes and put on complicated and solemn court clothes.

The court dress is dark purple, with a peacock embroidered with gold thread on the chest, a black leather belt that highlights the slim waistline, and a dark purple gauze cover. It is also equipped with a goldfish bag, a three-beam crown, and a golden cicada ornament. It has a distinguished temperament that cannot be concealed.

magnificent.

Ye Yunting smoothed the wrinkles on his back for him and said with some worry: "If the prince appears in the court today, it will definitely cause an uproar."

During the day, I just walked around Zhaohe Main Street and declared that my life was safe. Then I went to court on my own without waiting for the call.

To the emperor, it was tantamount to a clear provocation.

"Don't worry." Li Fengqi nonchalantly adjusted his large sleeves and said with a calm smile, "I know it well."
