In this world, once some desires arise, there is no possibility of turning back.
Li Yi couldn't remember when A Ping left the room, he sat alone at the table for a long time, and didn't even notice that the candles on the table were burnt out. The endless night is like a robe draped over him, and Geng Geng Xinghe illuminates all the sleepless people in the world. The lord of Yunyang and the eldest son of Yunyang, father and son with the same blood, did not close their eyes this night.
Li Yi recalled the past.
That year, his younger brothers and sisters hadn't grown up yet, and Lingyun City was very lively. The identity of the eldest son and the advantage of age make him invincible in this world, and he is the king of children who is respected by his younger brothers and sisters. Even if he did something bad and blamed a certain younger brother or sister, they could only suffer in silence without the slightest right to resist.
Among them, the most inconspicuous and most useful backer is his fourth brother Li De.
At that time, Lied looked dull, his eyes were glazed over, and he seldom spoke. He would answer anyone who spoke to him, but the things he answered were sometimes confusing. As time passed, no one wanted to play with him, and Li De became the most isolated among the Yunyang sons, and Li Yi often accused him of various crimes.
That little boy never knew how to shirk, he was always beaten in a daze, and then wandered back with injuries all over his body.
However, at some point, Li Yi felt that this fourth brother looked like a different person. He has clear eyes, a cynical smile, always wandering around in various places, and has a blond maid who is as inconspicuous as him by his side. At this time, it will not be so easy for Li Yi to pin all kinds of blame on Li De. Li De can always avoid all kinds of framing and framing, but Li Yi has suffered a lot because of this.
As for the other younger brothers and sisters, some were transferred out, some got married, and they all left Li Yi's side one after another.
Thinking about it now, Li Yi suddenly realized that he was not the person who made the rules since he was a child, he was just playing tricks within the rules. He seems to work harder than other children, so some people praise himself as a versatile person in both civil and military affairs; he is relentless in bullying others, so some people praise himself as being decisive. Throwing the blame to others and keeping the honor to myself, everything is just to win the support of some civil servants and generals, so that I can add some points to my father's impression.
He has always abided by the rules set by Lord Yunyang, so he sat in the position of the crown prince.
But now, Lord Yunyang's rules no longer have supreme authority, and he cannot take the lead in this system of rules, so his status began to shake.
What I worry about, what I fear, and what I fear actually all come from this.
So, why not give it a try? A great opportunity is at hand.
If it was normal, Li Yi would not have such an idea at all. Dad is in good health, at least he can live another 20 or 30 years. He has absolute ruling power in Yunyang and has an unparalleled deterrent force.
But now it's different. After thinking about it for a while, countless favorable conditions appeared in Li Yi's mind.
Lord Yunyang is not in Lingyun City.
Only some civil servants and military generals in Yunyang followed.
Lord Yunyang is badly wounded...or at least looks like "seriously wounded."
Several of the doctors accompanying Lord Yunyang had a good relationship with him.
He is still Yunyang's heir.
Among all the heirs, he is still the most promising one.
Since I was a child, I have been placed with high hopes, and countless people have praised me for having the appearance of an emperor...
On top of these conditions, there is still a mountain pressing on his heart. The name of that mountain is Karpass, and that man will bring fifty thousand people here soon, and it will be too late for whatever he wants to do. The rules will be made by others again, and you will be at an absolute disadvantage in it.
The only way to break the situation is before that man arrives... to strike first!
When the first ray of sunlight broke through the dark clouds in the morning, a crisp bird song broke the tranquility of the night.
Li Yi raised his head slowly, his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, looking scarlet and scary.
In Xiaxin City, Fang Shisan sat quietly in the wheelchair, thinking about what to do next. The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. Although the Shenji Battalion's sudden attack was used to defend Xiaxin City this time, she knew that Lord Yunyang would call in more support soon. The worst result is that Yuxi City must sell all the cities east of Rivet City, and retreat to the natural danger to seek the next opportunity to go east. This possibility is not impossible. When the battle situation is getting more and more anxious, as the commander-in-chief, she must seek a way out for this war.
Li De stood beside her, propped his head up and admired Fang Shisan's serious thinking.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room. Lide looked over there and saw a handsome demon guy in a suit standing at the door. Since he was promoted to the director of the Succubus Hall, the demon man's dress has become more and more similar to that of human elites, full of capable feeling.
Lide beckoned to him, and the demon boy walked in, and whispered something in Lied's ear.
Lid nodded slightly.
The demon boy resigned.
After the demon boy exited the room, Li De stretched out his hand to help Fang Shisan tidy up the hair on his sideburns. Fang Shisan raised his head with a confused expression on his face. Lied smiled and said calmly:
"Yunyang's army is about to retreat."
Fang Shisan's body trembled slightly, and asked in a low voice:
"Why?"
Lied didn't answer, but quietly looked into the distance. There are many masters in Yunyang's army, and the ordinary flying pigeons passing letters are likely to be stopped, so Anbu has placed members of the Succubus Pavilion there. You can transmit messages very secretly in your sleep, and you don't have to worry about revealing your identity.
After a while, Lid sighed softly and said:
"Get ready to counterattack. Yunyang is going to be in chaos. This is a good time to recruit troops. This fall, the demons will bring a batch of grain and grass. The grain imported from Yunhai has filled the granary since last month. This time The scale of recruitment may reach tens of thousands, but I believe you can handle it well."
Li De did not tell Fang Shisan about the root cause of Yunyang's turmoil, but he knew that Fang Shisan would know soon.
Even, it won't be long before everyone in the world will know.
In Yunyang's military tent, Lord Yunyang also stayed up all night. He was thinking about his youth and Yunyang's future.
The burnt skin ached, and the burning sensation of the herbs kept him awake despite the drowsiness.
The eye protruding from the bandage looked coldly at the roof of the tent, and Lord Yunyang was thinking about the tactics for the next attack on Xiaxin City. How to avoid those powerful firearms, how to boost the morale of the army, how to supplement the casualties of the guests, whether the people transporting food in the rear are reliable, will there be any new changes in Lingyun City...
He thought about this, and with the identity and vision of a lord, he thought about the possibility of conquering Xiaxin City with minimal losses.
At dawn, he finally figured out everything and breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and a beam of light shone in, which quickly dimmed.
Lord Yunyang gave a cold shout:
"who?"
No one answered, Lord Yunyang glanced over there, and saw a familiar figure.
He couldn't help but let go of his heart, but his tone still didn't soften:
"You are not staying in your own military tent. What are you doing here? I heard that you have taken in a lot of women recently, and you are not afraid of dying on the belly of women! Why do you think I was injured? Isn't it all for you This piece of shit wipes ass—”
Before he finished speaking, Lord Yunyang suddenly felt a chill in his chest.
He saw blood spattered on top of the tent.
Lord Yunyang turned his face sideways, his mouth widened, and his pupils trembled like an earthquake.
The familiar figure in front of him no longer feels a little bit cordial.
The next moment, the dagger was pulled out from Lord Yunyang's chest, and scarlet was everywhere.
There was a burst of crazy laughter in the military tent.
