Second marriage to the regent

Chapter 26 Victory
Li Feng didn't believe Li Kunyi's lies. In the final analysis, wasn't it just to win the emperor's favor?
Chang Juerou and he had grown up together since childhood, and Chang Juerou's feelings for him could be said to be deeper than the ocean. But how could a man give up his dream of unifying the country for the sake of an affair between a man and a woman?
"You brothers don't have to be so secretive between each other. Fifth brother can see that Miss Chang's affection for you is genuine!"

Then he pretended to be considerate of Li Kunyi and said, "If you don't have any feelings for Miss Chang, you should make it clear to her as soon as possible, so as not to miss this girl."

Li Kunyi doesn't know this truth, but Chang Juerou's father is his teacher. If he talks about it, it will not end well for both of them.

Naturally, the position of the crown princess would not be Chang Juerou. In order to avoid any unpleasantness with Chang Taifu, he could make Chang Juerou a concubine.

Royal concubines value their family background and want their teachers to be reasonable and able to understand what they are doing.

"It's not that the seventh brother hasn't thought about what the fifth brother said, but the seventh brother doesn't know how to tell Rou'er, and he doesn't know how to face the Taifu who has been so kind to me in the future."

Taifu Chang treated him as his own son, and he did not want to make Taifu Chang feel uncomfortable by rejecting Chang Juerou.

Li Feng also knew that Li Kunyi respected Taifu Chang. In this way, he could weaken Li Kunyi as long as he persuaded Taifu Chang to let Chang Juerou be the crown prince.

Then no one among the princes can compare with him.

Thinking of this, Li Feng felt happy and said with pretense of blame: "It's my fault that fifth brother didn't think it through well. Seventh brother is so filial. No wonder father and Taifu Chang love him so much."

Li Kun didn't respond, just smiled and took a sip of tea.

The next day, when Su Junxi woke up from her sleep, she, Ying Shi, and the soldiers Su Buyue stayed to protect her were the only ones left in the military camp. The rest went to Huagu.

"Miss, do you think Young Master and the others will win?" Yingshi looked worried.

Su Junxi couldn't be sure. She didn't know the terrain of Huagu. Yesterday, she heard that the Xianle people had occupied a favorable terrain. Even if there were more people there, without the right time and place, it would be difficult to capture them.

"I hope brother and the others can return safely." Su Junxi felt uneasy.

She only hoped that her brother would be safe and sound. After all, even if the banknote was not recovered, Su Buyue would not be implicated too much and could only rest for a few days.

Seeing Su Junxi's worried face, Yingshi didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only stay by her side silently.

Valley of Flowers
Two shadows walked through the dense forest, following Li Junyi and the others.

After arriving at the outskirts of the Flower Valley, they saw them entering the secret passage, then left and jumped onto a towering tree, watching the people of the Xianle Kingdom in the Flower Valley.

"Master is telling me this time that you are not allowed to show up unless necessary!" A masked woman in blue said to the woman in red behind her.

After hearing this, the woman in red said in a cold tone: "I am only responsible for protecting the safety of my master. You don't need to worry about that."

She Huo doesn't care about the life and death of other people. She wishes these ants would all die in this flower valley, making fertilizer for those flowers.

Shui Xin was a little sad to see that her sisters, who had been through life and death for many years, still looked inhumane. Did she really not think that the people they killed were really all evil people?

She saw helpless women and children dying under their sharp blades. Every night, she would feel that those ghosts came to seek her life.

Looking at Shui Xin's pity-filled eyes, the sword in Huo Xin's hand was pressed against her neck at some point. Huo Huo warned her: "Shui Xin, you and I are killers! The most taboo thing for killers is feelings. If you If you cannot continue to perform the mission, I will report the truth to the master and let others take your place!"

Then Huo Yan withdrew his weapon and threatened: "Among the people newly trained by Master recently, there is one who is still young but whose strength is not inferior to you and me. Her appearance will replace you and me at any time! You should know that you are being replaced. What a fate!"

Shui Xin naturally knows best. The reason why she is sitting where she is today is because she climbed up from the pile of corpses.

She was barely nine years old at the time, and she was surviving one elimination after another.

Even though she sympathizes with those innocent people, if she doesn't do this, she will be abandoned by her master.

She doesn't want to die. "It's not good! It's not good! The Tianzhao people are coming!"

A soldier was lazing around looking at a tree when he suddenly heard a noise behind him. When he looked back, he saw that Tianzhao people had entered the Valley of Flowers at some unknown time.

As soon as he finished shouting, his neck was wiped and he fell to the ground instantly.

The people of Xianle were still toasting to celebrate the capture of Li Jun last night. Unexpectedly, they drank a few more drinks. By the time they rushed out of the room, only a few of their brothers had been killed.

The leader looked up and saw Li Junyi leading the team. His heart skipped a beat, but when he remembered that he still had hostages, he instantly felt emboldened.

"Hmph! I have Li Jun in my hand. If you dare to take a step forward again, I will kill Li Jun!"

Then he ordered the subordinates behind him: "Go! Bring the people up!"

"Yes!"

The two soldiers hurriedly went to the place where Li Jun was imprisoned to check. They saw that the brother guarding the door was killed, and the door of the room where Li Jun was imprisoned was opened. They felt something bad and immediately turned around to report it.

"No! Li Jun is missing!"

"What?!" His face was full of horror. If Li Jun lost it, wouldn't he be a lamb to be slaughtered?
Li Kun was also curious about who saved Li Jun. He looked at Li Junyi. Could it be him?

Li Junyi was also confused. There was no sign that the bookshelf had been opened. Who rescued Li Jun?
How did you escape?
Wen Yuming pointed his sword at the enemy and said loudly: "Now you don't even have the hostages, why don't you surrender quickly!"

Li Feng also hurriedly echoed: "Surrender now, hand over the banknotes, and I will ensure that you keep your body intact!"

"No matter what, you will die, brothers! Fight with them!"

The people of the Xianle Kingdom would rather die than surrender. Li Junyi raised his right hand lightly, and a group of soldiers holding bows and arrows jumped out from behind. He lowered his hand lightly, and the arrows flew towards the enemy.

The people of Xianle were caught off guard in their shock, and eventually died from their injuries.

They searched the entire valley but did not see Li Jun, so they had to return with the banknotes.

Flame and Shui Xin jumped down from the tree, looked at Li Jun who was unconscious leaning against the back of the tree, sent a signal to the sky, and then turned around and entered the depths of the jungle.

Su Buyue brought a team of people over to check and found Li Jun who was unconscious.

"Who is helping us secretly?" Su Buyue didn't know whether this person was an enemy or a friend.

If it is the enemy, then they are in a passive state, which is terrible.

After completing the mission, the group returned to Beijing immediately.

The news had already reached the emperor's ears.

"It seems that the abilities of the three princes far exceed our deadline, and the emperor can rest assured." The father-in-law flattered him from the side.

The person who came to report the news immediately added: "This time we captured the Xianle people and took back the banknotes. It was accomplished by the regent and Mr. Su from Duke Anguo's mansion."

When he heard that Li Junyi was also there, the smile that had just appeared on the emperor's face disappeared again.
