The Taoist nun who had many grievances and grievances with them died. The moment she committed suicide, she had a smile on her face.
What kind of love and hatred this master had with Li Yi's long-dead father-in-law decades ago, they have no way of knowing, but that is not important anymore.
The great enmity between the Fang family and the Jingguo royal family also turned to dust following her departure.
She can no longer see what kind of path the Holy Cult will take in the future.
Everything about her life was buried in this small tomb.
Li Yi held three signs in his hand.
One piece was given to him by the Taoist nun before she died, representing the supreme position in the holy religion.
The other two pieces represent the left and right protectors of the holy religion, and one is his own. He also found out the right protector plaque on Fang Yu's body.
Holding these three plaques in his hand, he grasped the entire holy religion.
He promised that Taoist nun would save Fang Yu's life, but let Mr. Xu abolish his martial arts. Fang Yu's next life will be very ordinary, but he will have enough food and clothing. expect.
When Li Yi and Ruyi walked back again, Lao Fang, who was looking in the direction of the courtyard door, immediately turned his head away.
In fact, he has nothing to avoid. Although he has no eyesight, it has been a day or two since he has no eyesight. Ruyi will never kill him for this reason...
What makes Li Yi a little regretful is that he confessed his love and kissed him, but Ruyi still didn't want to talk to him. After returning, he locked himself in the room and refused to open the door no matter how Li Yi knocked.
In fact, he still has a lot to say to her, but he also knows how difficult it is for Ruyi to say those words and take that step.
He stepped back and saw Wanru standing in the yard, looking at him with a smile.
She looked at Li Yi and asked, "Is she all right?"
Li Yi sat down beside her and shook his head slightly.
"Don't worry." Wanru looked at him and said, "It's good that she has figured out some things."
Li Yi looked at her, she stretched out her palm, held his hand, and said: "Actually, when I was in Fengzhou, I always thought that you were elopement lovers. Later, when you told me the truth, I still thought you were lying to me..."
"However, I can understand your eyes. Eyes can't deceive people."
Li Yi sighed lightly, looking at Ruyi's closed door, feeling a little worried.
She patted Li Yi's hand and said, "You have to believe that you have walked together for so many years, no matter what difficulties and obstacles you encounter, you can overcome them..."
Elder Xu stood in the distance, sighed, and said, "What do you think is so good about this kid? Why did he meet all the good girls in this world..."
"Are you envious?" A voice came from beside my ear.
"I don't envy you." Elder Xu turned to look at her and said, "It's enough for me to have you alone. I'm envious of what he does..."
Although Ruyi had already taken that step, she still had some knots in her heart. Li Yi didn't want to disturb her, so he took out the three plaques again.
Before leaving, there are still some things that need to be properly arranged.
…
The capital, Feng Wangfu.
A general knelt in front of Zhao Yi and said, "Your Highness, the Prince's army of 150,000 people consumes a huge amount of food every day. I'm afraid that the capital area has been wiped out by them long ago. When the food is exhausted, I'm afraid they will die. Siege..."
"Another 20% of the troops will be deployed to guard the west gate..."
"Send people out of the city to find out where the reinforcements are!"
"Let people step up patrols at several city gates, and the time for changing defenses will be doubled!"
…
Zhao Yi gave several orders one after another before he had time to sit down and have a cup of tea to moisten his throat.
These days, what they have to deal with is not only the strong attack of the 150,000 troops outside the city, but also all kinds of undercurrents in the capital. In addition, they also need to deal with Zhao Zheng and the undercover agents and spies of the Holy Cult in the capital...
If you relax your vigilance, some undercover agents will even open the city gates to welcome the Gyeonggi guards into the city.
If you are not careful, take a wrong step, and you will be in the abyss.
And their reinforcements also encountered countless obstacles on the way, and they have not arrived yet.
Zhao Xiuwen's originally handsome face was now unshaven. He walked to Zhao Yi's side and said slowly, "I'm afraid there will be a tough battle in the near future."
Yang Yanzhou cleared his throat and said: "Now all the people in the capital are soldiers, and countless people in the capital voluntarily join the army. The strength of the forbidden army is better than that of the Gyeonggi defenders. Even if we start a real war, we may not lose..."
Zhao Yi was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "If that's the case, the only option is to fight to the death!"
Outside the capital, in the camp.
Zhao Zheng paced back and forth in the account, with an impatient look on his face, looked at the person behind him, and asked, "Where did your Protector Fang go, why hasn't he come back yet?"
The man looked calm, shook his head, and said: "The guardian's whereabouts are uncertain, I don't know."
"I don't care where he went. Tomorrow we must attack the city!" Zhao Zheng waved his hand and said, "It will be harmful to us if we go on like this. Zhao Yi and the others are already at the end of their strength. If they work hard, they will definitely be able to capture the capital!"
The man's face was still calm, and he said lightly: "Without the order of the empress and the guardian, we will not act rashly."
Zhao Zheng said furiously: "This king is the prince, and what I want to order is the guards of the capital, how dare you disobey my order!"
The man looked at him indifferently, but didn't speak any more.
Zhao Zheng's chest heaved a few times, but his mood calmed down.
He strode out of the big tent and came to another tent.
After sitting down in the tent, his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.
If he hadn't realized by now that something was wrong, he was a complete idiot.
Fang Yu has already emptied him invisibly, and most of the people who control the military power are members of their holy religion, and they obey Fang Yu's orders even more than him!
Suddenly footsteps came from outside the tent.
Someone walked in from the outside, looked at Zhao Zheng, waved and said, "Take it."
Several men in blue came towards him.
"What do you want to do!" Zhao Zheng's complexion changed.
"What are you doing!" Zhao Zheng wanted to resist, but he couldn't resist the two blue-clothed men at all, with a ferocious expression on his face, he shouted, "Where is Fang Yu, let Fang Yu come out and see me!"
"Fang Yu can't come to see you." Xu Zheng looked at him, waved his hand and said, "Take him down."
More than half of the senior generals of the 150,000 army were infiltrated by Fang Yu and the Taoist nun. No wonder Fang Yu was so crazy about the throne of Qi.
He is only one step away from that position.
If it wasn't for Zhao Yi's steadfast defense of the capital, the current state of Qi would have already changed.
Several generals who were still loyal to Zhao Zheng were taken down immediately. The rest of the generals were all the elites of the holy religion. After seeing the three tokens, they immediately surrendered.
Of the eight envoys in purple clothes of the Holy Cult, four died, and one was imprisoned in Shengzhou. When the other three were taken in, they did not encounter much obstacles.
Chang De walked to Li Yi's side, and suddenly asked, "How do you plan to deal with the affairs of Qi State?"
Li Yi understood what Lao Chang meant.
The 150,000 troops in Gyeonggi have all been controlled by them, and it is easy to capture the capital.
What Zhao Zheng and Fang Yu couldn't do, they could easily do.
Of course, capturing the capital doesn't mean that you can take advantage of the trend and take over Qi.
After all, they are not the royal family of the Zhao family, and the whole country of Qi is not in chaos like that of Wu. After taking over the capital, Qi will be in chaos, and what they will face next may be countless rebels.
Li Yi doesn't want Qi, he has no interest in being emperor on the surface or in secret, the status of these things in his heart is better than seeing Ruyi smile again.
Li Yi thought for a while, and said, "Let's pay him back the favor."
Lao Chang nodded and stopped talking.
capital.
As soon as it was dawn, a city guard general rushed into Prince Feng's mansion, and before he saw Zhao Yi, he shouted loudly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, they are retreating!"
