Chapter 301: Admit Defeat

; After dawn, Jicheng is full of hectic, panic, surprise, fear, pain, despair, and various emotions. From the princes and generals to the common people, each has a different mood. Ordinary people only see the stretching The remnants of the fire that burned thousands of houses, I saw the dusty soldiers carrying out the horrible corpses from the ruins, old, young, male, female, one after another The corpse was thrown into the carriage, and with the sound of horseshoes, they walked towards Huaren Village outside the city. However, the high-ranking and powerful people saw the strong smell of conspiracy after the fire, and the children of the family almost They were immediately ordered to confine their feet and were not allowed to step out of their homes. These nobles living in Jicheng have experienced several coups in the past ten years, and each time a wealthy family was overthrown to the ground. It was covered with sharp steel knives, human heads all over the ground, and blood floating from the pestle.

This time, what will this fire bring to Jicheng? Everyone has deep anxiety in their hearts.

The nobles and ministers walked towards the palace, everyone was uneasy. Who knows what will happen today?

Ye Tiannan did not go to court.

It doesn't matter whether he goes or not, he decided to stay at home and wait for the final result, but now, the only thing that worries him is, is Gao Yuan still alive?

Ye Tiannan, who had calmed down, had recovered his composure and composure at this time. After all, he had experienced too many dangers in his ten-year escape career. Compared with those years, this failure is really nothing. Anyway, This time, it was just a political failure, and it would not endanger his family or life. As long as his life is still alive, there is still a chance to make money.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, Ye Tiannan really never dreamed that he was so eager for Gao Yuan to be safe and sound, but a few months ago, he was still gnashing his teeth and wishing to smash this guy to pieces Seriously, life is so ridiculous.

Ye Tiannan shook his head and smiled wryly.

Xun Xiu walked in with a nervous expression. "Tiannan, I just received news that there is a large-scale mobilization of troops in the city."

Ye Tiannan raised his eyebrows sharply, "A large-scale mobilization of troops?"

"If Gao Yuan is alive, will he come to our place?" Xun Xiu took a deep breath, "If Gao Yuan really escapes to our place, it will be terrible."

The muscles on Ye Tiannan's face twitched. As soon as Xun Xiu reminded him, he immediately came to his senses. If Gao Yuan escaped, and he could accurately judge that he couldn't do it by himself, then escaping to himself would be his choice.

"Gao Yuan doesn't even have this bit of political wisdom, does he? If he really escapes to me, I'm going to make a big mess." Ye Tiannan's voice trembled a little.

"He's still young, maybe he can't see through it." Xun Xiu was also puzzled, "Zhou Yuan's sudden mobilization of the army probably also thought of this."

Throwing off the quilt, Ye Tiannan jumped off the bed and walked around the room anxiously.

Gao Yuan appeared here, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is the best way to get rid of his grievances and find out the real culprit, but Ye Tiannan knows that if this scene really happens, then it is the time when the other party jumps over the wall in a hurry and shows up. , because in this way, the opponent will be pushed into a corner. If the opponent's strength is average, that's fine, but the opponent's strength is too strong, so strong that even he has no strength to fight back.

If Gao Yuan appears around Ye Mansion, Jicheng will soon usher in another coup d'état. It will be a foreseeable fact that blood will flow into rivers.

"Come on!" Ye Tiannan shouted in a deep voice.

An expert will come in at the sound.

"Ye Zhen, gather all the soldiers and prepare for battle!"

The famous general named Ye Zhen was startled when he heard the words, he looked up at Ye Tiannan with a blank face.

"Go down and get ready, Ye Zhong is back, tell him to come see me right away." Ye Tiannan waved his hand.

"Follow orders, Master Xiang!" Although he was in shock, Ye Zhen didn't say anything, turned around and walked out.

"I'm going to see Ning Zecheng, Zhou Yuan!" Xun Xiu looked at Ye Tiannan.

"Okay, sir, be careful. As soon as Ye Zhong comes back, I will tell him to go back to the palace immediately. No matter what, the king can't have any problems." Ye Tiannan said.

Xun Xiu smiled wryly, "If you really get to a certain step, the palace guards controlled by Ye Zhong will not be able to change the reality. Tiannan, if, if Gao Yuan really appears in Ye Mansion, the only way is to kill him , and send his body there. That's the only way."

Ye Tiannan nodded slightly, "Don't worry sir, I won't have to do anything!"

Just as Xun Xiu left, Ye Zhong hurried over, almost jogging all the way over, with a happy expression on his face.

"Master, the nine cities of Jicheng are closed, and the Yanling guards are riding around. Gao Yuan is not dead, he is still alive, he ran away." Ye Zhong said happily: "This kid is really not simple, powerful, powerful, such a situation He can escape too."

Looking at Ye Tiannan's face, Ye Zhong's smile froze on his face, "Master Xiang, what is this?"

Ye Tiannan sighed, and said what Xun Xiu was worried about just now, "Ye Zhong, if Gao Yuan appears in Ye Mansion, the other party will definitely think that we are going to bring Gao Yuan to the court to confront him. They were completely exposed to the sun, you say, what will happen to them?"

Ye Zhong took a deep breath, of course he understood what the other party would do, because the current Jicheng, to put it bluntly, is under the control of the other party." No wonder there are so many spies outside our mansion. , I thought it was the other side's act of monitoring us."

"Surveillance is true, I'm afraid the more important thing is to watch whether Gao Yuan will appear here?" Ye Tiannan smiled bitterly, "You go back to the palace immediately and protect the king. The day you start again."

"yes."

"Is the wound on your leg all right?"

"It doesn't matter!" Ye Zhong took two steps, then suddenly turned around, "Master Xiang, what should we do if Gao Yuan really appears?"

Ye Tiannan raised his head to the sky, but he didn't answer.

Ye Zhong's expression changed, his lips moved a few times, but he turned around and walked out without saying anything.

Inside the palace, Ji Ping looked at the noble ministers gathered in the hall, but he didn't see Ye Tiannan, Zhou Yuan, or Ning Zecheng. His expression changed again and again, and the anger on his face gradually faded away. , It was replaced by fear. There was a buzzing sound in the hall. Obviously, the ministers who came to the court also realized the seriousness of the problem. When the three giants of Yan State should have appeared here at the first time, But none of them showed up.

"Where's the Prime Minister, where's the Taiwei, and Doctor Ning?" Ji Ping's voice changed a bit.

No one in the hall made a sound, looking around, they all looked at each other.

"Come here, invite the three adults to court." Ji Ping tried his best to calm himself down, not to look a little panicked, but his hands hidden in his sleeves were trembling slightly.

Gao Yuan is not dead! When Ning Zecheng got the report for the first time, he couldn't help being furious. Zhou Yuan was so unreliable in doing things. Last night, he swore to himself that Gao Yuan was going to die. Now it is this As a result, Ning Zecheng certainly knew the consequences if Gao Yuan didn't die. He found Zhou Yuan immediately, and now, it's not the time to blame each other.

The best way is to find Gao Yuan at the first time, and then kill him to limit the influence to the smallest extent. The worst choice is to make Gao Yuan's accurate judgment of who wants him to die, and then reunite with Ye Tiannan Together, to expose the conspiracy between him and Zhou Yuan, if it really comes to this point, then there is no choice but to stop doing it and keep going.

And Ning Zecheng didn't want to go to this point. If this is really the case, there will be a civil strife in the country of Yan, and then the conquest of Donghu and the domination of the Central Plains will become empty talk.

The country of Yan can't stand another civil strife. To calm down the political turmoil of Linghu Chao, because the victory in the war with the country of Zhao has completely subsided. If the same coup happens again, how can the country of Yan calm down?

It is true to fight for power, but Ning Zecheng also understands that whether he or Zhou Yuan, they are all attached to the big tree of Dayan. If the tree is about to fall, they will be attached to the tree. How will the vines on the mountain end well?

Yanling Guards sent out scouts everywhere, and Zhou Yuan had already closed the nine gates, and the army was also mobilizing, making final preparations. At this moment, the two of them couldn't care less about going to court. The one in the palace, At this moment, in their hearts, it doesn't matter at all.

"My lord, Dr. Xun is visiting!" Ning Zecheng was stunned by the family's report. How could Xun Xiu come here at this time? I believe that by this time, Ye Tiannan and the others have already understood what is going on.

"Please!" Ning Zecheng spit out a word.

Xun Xiu stood in front of Ning Zecheng, looked at the junior in his eyes, and sighed in his heart, a new generation replaced the old one, this doctor Yu Shi who did not perform well in his eyes before, the master of Yan Lingwei Taught him a good lesson once.

"Lord Ning!" Xun Xiu clasped his fists, and bowed deeply to Ning Zecheng, "I admire you, this time, we are convinced by our defeat."

Ning Zecheng's pupils contracted, and an enemy who became angry from embarrassment is not scary, but an enemy who is calm and dares to admit defeat is the most terrifying. Now, it is impossible for them and Ye Tiannan to be friends.

"Master Xun, please sit down and serve tea!"

With a flick of his robe, Xun Xiu sat down next to Ning Zecheng, "Lord Ning, Ye Xiang asked me to bring a few words, I wonder if your lord would like to hear it?"

"Master Xun, please speak!" Ning Zecheng bowed his body.

"We are all sitting on the big ship Dayan, neither you nor Ye Xiang, don't want this ship to sink, do you?"

"certainly."

"So, Ye Xiang conceded defeat, he withdrew, he will resign as Prime Minister, and return to Langya County, Yan Country, from now on, I will hand it over to you and Master Zhou." Xun Xiu said flatly.

"Ye Xiang withdrew?" Ning Zecheng was a little surprised. In his opinion, Ye Tiannan was the kind of persevering person. In other words, he was the guy who didn't cry when he saw the coffin.

"Yes." Xun Xiu said: "At present, the Yan State is taking advantage of the momentum of defeating the Zhao State, and conquering the Donghu. It was destroyed once, so he withdrew. After this period of time, he returned to Langya."

Ning Zecheng was silent for a while, "What about Gao Yuan?"

Xun Xiu laughed, "If Gao Yuan appears in Ye Mansion, Lord Ning will see his dead body, but if Gao Yuan escapes from Jicheng and returns to Fufeng, it will be a different matter. I think Lord Ning should Get it!"

Ning Zecheng leaned back, and of course he understood what Xun Xiu said. If Gao Yuan escaped and returned to Fufeng, then he would have added a strong enemy from now on. And what Xun Xiu said was clear, it was obvious He told himself in vain that if Gao Yuan escaped alive, Ye Mansion would definitely support Gao Yuan with all his strength in the future.
