Before he knew it, the chessboard was already intertwined with two black and white pieces. With one word, the situation on the chessboard was extremely mixed. On the surface, Han Xuandao's chess face had already gained the upper hand, but the several dark chesses that the emperor had set up on the chessboard at the beginning had already shown great disaster at this time. Han Xuandao still needed some effort to win this game of chess...

"When did you poison me?" the emperor asked suddenly.

Han Xuandao frowned and asked back: "If Han Mo had seized the military power in the northwest and led his troops back to the rescue, but His Royal Highness brought his troops back to Beijing, would the Lord leave a way out for us officials of the aristocratic families?"

The emperor smiled indifferently and said, "You still need to ask me this?"

Han Xuandao sighed: "It's the ministers who asked more questions. The emperor's ultimate goal is to eradicate us, such aristocratic families. If the military power in the northwest is obtained, we will naturally not survive."

"I know that the prince is a dangerous move, but I am willing to let him try it once." The emperor said calmly: "Su Yuting is an ambitious young man. He is willing to help the prince accomplish things, and has brought the Su family in. If the prince is successful, the Su family will certainly make contributions, but the other tribes of you will definitely not survive. If the prince is defeated, the Su family will not have any good results." He sighed and said: "In my calculations, no matter whether the prince is successful or failure, you officials of the aristocratic families do not seem to survive. I have calculated everything, but I did not expect Han Mo to go to the city to contact the people in the Xihua Hall, nor did he expect that he could persuade the soldiers of the Nine Gate who had already put down his weapons to pick up the weapons again, which would ruin my major affairs. Every time I think of it, there is always a feeling of shooting myself in the foot. Ah... Human calculations are not as good as God's plan. Although I am the son of heaven, this time, my heavenly father did not help me!"

"A single mistake will lead to a loss." Han Xuandao also sighed softly: "The Lord is thinking about eliminating our aristocratic families day and night, how can we sit and wait for death? His Majesty crosses the river and destroys bridges, which is unkind and unrighteous. If we want to survive, we can only fight with our backs." He paused for a moment, as if thinking about something, and then he said: "The Lord is so scheming that he has concealed countless people. Two years ago, after the Ye and Wu families were destroyed, I mobilized a large number of manpower and material resources to investigate secretly, and finally I learned that the Lord has learned that the Lord has been very scheming.

The overall situation he set up is not to be hiding from the sage. Every time I get the news, I am frightened and can't sleep all night long." His eyes suddenly became as sharp as a blade, staring at the emperor's eyes: "After the royal family controlled Bozhou County, its power became increasingly powerful. A few months ago, the prince who never participated in political affairs actually went to the northwest to inspect. I knew that the royal family's hands were starting to reach out to the northwest army. I was uneasy. If the emperor controlled the Northwest Army, could our aristocratic families still have a way out?"

"I understand." The emperor nodded slightly: "When the prince went to the northwest, you used the palace maid named Ling Yan'er to poison the soup I drank?"

"If the Lord continues to think about dealing with my aristocratic family, my big Yan will be in chaos, so I can only make this worst decision. But I dare not deceive the Lord. Not only is the queen unaware of this matter, but even Ling Yan'er doesn't know that what I gave her was poison." Han Xuandao said frankly: "She only thought it was a rare medicinal material used to nourish the Lord's body."

"Han Xuandao, it seems that you are really brave." The emperor sneered: "You are already very brave to poison me, but today you dare to enter the palace with orders. Do you think I won't take this opportunity to kill you?"

Han Xuandao looked fearless and said solemnly: "For the long-term peace and stability of Dayan, I can't bear to see the storm again, so I can only do this. I also ask the priest to forgive my sins. I am not afraid of death. If the priest wants to give death, please speak!"

"For the long-term stability of Dayan?" the emperor laughed: "Han Xuan said, you really speak with a high-sounding and false kindness. Do you poison me, and you still want me to forgive me?"

"I entered the palace tonight. My real purpose is just to tell the previous sentence!"

"What?"

"The war ahead is tight, my big Yan cannot collapse two pillars at the same time!"

"Han Xuan, you are really arrogant. Do you think you are the national pillar of my Dayan?"

Han Xuandao looked calm and nodded, "I dare not underestimate myself. But I can be sure that if Your Majesty and I leave at the same time, then my Da Yan will be in chaos. The rear is unstable, and no matter how brave my Da Yan army is, it will not be able to continue to use troops against the Wei State. If the morale of the front is in chaos, it will be difficult to control, and the powerful tyrants of each county will inevitably cause great trouble, and the entire Da Yan State will also fall into great chaos... Is this what the emperor wants to see?"

The emperor smiled coldly and did not speak.

The night wind blew, and the emperor gently held his hands.

After a long time, the emperor showed a strange smile and said word by word: "Han Xuan, even if I don't kill you, you won't win this game of chess in the end. I... am waiting for you to play chess below!"

...

Yi Kongting was getting more and more difficult to fight against three. He was already slapped hard by the old man on his shoulder, and his whole right arm had become sore and weak. He wanted to rush out several times to grab the horse and escape, but the three of them surrounded him and the three of them were airtight and had no room to escape.

Yi Kongting's heart was filled with regret.

His martial arts were extremely powerful, but because of the exhaustion of his energy, he was now dying at the hands of three such people, which was really unwilling to accept it.

What he felt even more regretful was that the task entrusted to him by the emperor failed to complete.

At the critical moment, he heard a sound of horse hooves. Yi Kongting complained secretly in his heart, thinking that the enemy reinforcements came again. It was extremely difficult to fight against three, and the enemy reinforcements were reinforcements, so he could not fly.

In the night, five or six horses galloped like flying. The three men besieged Yi Kongting were obviously surprised. The five or six horses swept over like a whirlwind in the dark. The horses were all wearing large black cloaks and wearing hats. Seeing that they were approaching, the horsemen were all poking their hands out, and they were holding arrows in their hands.

Without any nonsense, the few people were approaching, holding crossbows, and actually shot crossbows at the three people besieging Yi Kongting.

It is not easy to be able to shoot a crossbow immediately, but these people are not only skillful and agile, but also have excellent accuracy. With a "swoosh swish" sound, a man who was besieging Yi Kongting fell to the ground in the crossbow and died without a humming sound. The angry arrow was obviously soaked in a highly poisonous manner and his throat was sealed with blood.

The old man in the hat who attacked Yi Kongting and another man in the hat were thrillingly avoided.

Yi Kongting was so experienced. As soon as the person came, he knew it was a rescuer, and he did not delay. He put all his strength into the old man in the hat and rushed towards the mount of the old man in the hat, trying to take the horse and leave.

The sudden knights did not continue to shoot at the old man in the hat, but also shot the crossbow arrows at the other two horses. The horse neighed and turned over and fell to the ground. When the two horses fell to the ground and could no longer move, the knights who came from the wind left like the wind, really like a wind swept across, and only shot a few arrows.

But this is enough.

Yi Kongting turned over the horse, shook the reins of the horse, and had already galloped westward. The old man in the hat wanted to chase him, but the other two horses had been killed, but there were no horses to chase him.

Under the night, the old man in the hat slowly took off his hat and showed a rather old face, but it was Han Yin, the leader of the shadow guard under Han Xuandao.

Looking at Yi Kongting's back as he left, Han Yin's murderous intent was Li Ran in his eyes.

...

At dawn, Han Xuandao came out of the palace with a cold expression. Before he could get on the carriage, a servant had already stepped up quickly and presented a secret letter: "Sir, Fei Ge's secret letter!"

Han Xuandao opened the secret letter and looked at it for a while, his expression became extremely strange.

He put the secret letter in his hand and held his hand tightly. In just a moment, the secret letter was crushed by his hands. He handed the broken secret letter to the servant beside him, but the servant pinched it into a small ball and threw it into his mouth and swallowed it.

Han Xuandao raised his head and looked at the faint light of dawn in the sky. His expression was extremely strange. After a while, he sighed softly: "Xiao Wu, don't blame me!"

In the Imperial Garden, the emperor was carrying his hands on his back, and was also looking at the dawn that appeared in the sky.

His expression was very calm, and the breeze blew up his clothes.

After a while, he chanted softly: "Forty-two years of sleep, one period of glory and one glass of wine; life and death do not know, the years are just like a dream!" He turned around and walked slowly along the path.

In the deserted imperial garden, the back of this Emperor Dayan is lonely and lonely. He sleeps for 42 years and leaves with the wind.
