The Fengyang Mansion was running at full strength, and in the face of the upcoming war, everyone was speeding up like crazy, for fear that they would lose the war if they were not careful.
The night was dark, cold and damp, and the lights were swaying in the wind.
The corpses at the banquet had not yet been cleaned, and the servants carried basins of water to wash the blood, hiding the spread of red in the night.
There must be a lot of people who can't sleep.
Mu Fan wrapped his clothes, the cold outside did not affect him, and the hurried expressions of the soldiers and people infected him, as if he was also involved in this battle.
He wandered around the palace, looking for Zhao Ying's figure.
If you want to inquire about Zhao Jianyan's news, he has only this way to go.
Occasionally, hurried subordinates walked past him, and Mu Fan stopped them and asked them where the county lord was now, and everyone replied that they didn't know.
After searching for a long time, he didn't find Zhao Ying's figure, and he planned to return to his residence for the time being, waiting for tomorrow morning to continue looking.
As soon as he turned his head and was about to leave, he suddenly found that the palace was more guarded than before.
This caught his attention, and he stopped to see what was going on.
Zhang Lei's upright figure flashed from not far away, he was in a hurry, but he did not lose his manners.
When Mu Fan found him, he suddenly stopped, glanced at Mu Fan, and then continued to walk deeper into the palace.
The area further inward was more important, and Zhao Xuan allowed Mu Fan to move around, but only within the prescribed range.
In the palace study, Zhao Xuan sat on a chair and rhythmically tapped the tabletop.
When Zhang Lei walked into the study, his hand tapping on the table stopped, and asked, "You should know why I'm looking for you." ” "I know because ......
Because you feel like I've betrayed you. ” "Isn't it?"
Zhang Lei bent his knees, knelt on the ground, and said: "I am loyal to the first emperor and the prince!"
” "Don't you feel awkward?"
Zhao Xuan shook his head and said mockingly: "On the one hand, you want to be loyal to the first emperor, but if you want to be loyal to him, it is tantamount to plotting against me.
What do you have to say......
Loyal to the first emperor and loyal to me?
!
!
” Zhang Lei knocked his head on the ground, "As the prince said, I can only choose one."
I struggled for a long time, and finally decided to do what I wanted. ” "So, you chose to betray me?"
"I don't feel ...... you treat me as a confidant" Zhao Xuan waved his hand, "I wonder very much, although I am a prince, I can be regarded as a heart-to-heart for you, but what do you do to me?"
Could it be that the righteousness of the first emperor is better than the decades that you and I have been together?
” Zhang Lei's head lowered, and he said helplessly: "The prince is indeed very good to me, but the prince's behavior will push Dong Ze to weakness and make Dong Ze lose the last chance to become stronger." ” "You can't trust me?
If Dong Ze passes to me, I will definitely do better than Zhao Chen.
Zhao Xuan pointed to the south, his face full of unwillingness, he felt that the first emperor's final decision was too partial.
Zhang Lei said: "What I see is that the first emperor passed the throne to the current emperor, and the unwillingness of the prince at this time will not make Dongze better, but will only make it worse and worse." ” Zhao Xuan slapped the table and said, "So many years!
I believe you, it's a rock, and I'm covering it up.
I don't understand why you're not hot. ” Zhang Lei kowtowed three times in a row, "I'm sorry for the prince, so I'm here today, I'm here to see the prince for the last time to express my remorse." ” Zhao Xuan raised up, the person he had always trusted, betrayed himself, and he was a little sad.
"You want to die?"
Zhang Lei said sincerely: "That's right. ” "Of course you're going to die, and that day isn't far off."
Zhao Xuan got up from his chair and took the saber hanging on the wall, "I meet your thoughts." ” "After Zhang Lei's death, I hope that the prince will take care.
What we can't win, even with the support of the Mu family and the night, it's impossible. ” Zhao Xuan swung his sword, the sword qi filled the study, and the cold air was even better than outside the window, he really moved to kill.
Zhang Lei continued: "Instead of internal friction, it is better to surrender and retain Dongze's strength, so as not to make the relatives and enemies happy." ” Zhao Xuan threw the sword in front of Zhang Lei, "Do you want me to be tied up and be a fat sheep to be slaughtered?"
” He squatted in front of Zhang Lei, pulled Zhang Lei's back collar, and said with a smile: "This king will tell you now, absolutely impossible!"
” Zhang Lei's collar was pulled up, and he raised his head, "The prince's choice, going against the general trend, is impossible to win." ” Zhao Xuan let go of Zhang Lei's collar and said sharply: "Don't mention the general trend to me, the general trend can be changed."
This king has been the king of Fengyang for so many years, if he is superstitious about the general trend, he will die on the battlefield as early as possible. ” He kicked his sword in front of Zhang Lei, "Only people like you will be killed, so I am the prince, you are not." ” Zhang Lei glanced at the sword on the ground and said lightly: "The prince is a smart man, and he knows best what the outcome of the confrontation is." ” "I'm not going to surrender until the real showdown.
Even if I lose, I will die on the battlefield instead of kneeling......
Wait for death. ” Zhao Xuan pointed to the sword, "Didn't you say that you came to die."
The sword is in front of you, judge yourself. ” "I will."

Zhang Lei respectfully picked up the sword, "Lord Wang, even if you don't want to hear it, I still have to say, stop it!"
” He held the sword in his backhand, no longer hesitated, the blade of the sword slashed through his neck, and before he was about to end his life, Zhao Xuan kicked him to the ground.
"You're a coward, you don't even have the courage to fight me to the death with a sword!"
A footprint appeared on the right shoulder of Zhang Lei's clothes, and the sword fell to the side and stuck diagonally on the ground.
Zhao Xuan said: "Give you a chance, draw your sword, and fight me to the death." ” Zhang Lei got up from the ground and knelt in front of Zhao Xuan again, "I won't do anything to the prince, the prince is kind to me, I will never forget!"
” Zhao Xuan drew his sword, and Zhang Lei closed his eyes in recognition of each other, waiting for death to come.
However, he waited for a long time, and the sword did not penetrate his chest.
Zhang Lei slowly opened his eyes and found that the prince had already hung the sword on the wall.
He didn't understand what the prince meant, and asked, "Why didn't the prince kill me?"
” "It's simple, you're alive and useful to me."
"The prince commanded."
Zhao Xuan walked to the desk, "You should know your situation." ” "Yes, outcast."
"Well, since you know that you are an outcast, you should have the consciousness of an outcast."
"I have, nothing more than death."
Zhao Xuan smiled: "Not only will you die, but those who are loyal to the first emperor will die." ” "I know."
Zhao Xuan was angry with a bit of respect, "Not everyone has this kind of consciousness as you, I want to kill them and destroy their nine clans, they won't be like you." ” "So......
You want me to hide it from you. ” "You can die now, or you can help me hide it from them."
Zhang Lei said: "I want to die now." ” He couldn't bear it, and the small group loyal to the first emperor had him as the core.
Now Zhao Xuan asked him to deceive those people and get rid of the people in the small group little by little, he couldn't do this kind of thing.
Zhang Lei is loyal to the first emperor for the righteousness.
Loyalty to the prince is the grace of knowledge.
If it weren't for the difficulty of both, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Zhao Xuan held on to the chair, he was very confident, although Zhang Lei concealed his loyalty to the first emperor, he understood Zhang Lei's temperament.
"If you don't help me, the war will advance as soon as it gets out of control internally.
You are smart people and know the consequences of war in advance. ”
