"What, Xiao Baojuan actually sent Xiao Yi to Xiangyang? Moreover, let him investigate whether we have rebelled or not. Your Majesty has a hole in your brain? Xiao Yan asked.

Xiangyang Taishou Wang Mao said: "My lord." His Majesty must have had other purposes. He definitely couldn't believe Xiao Yi's. However, Xiao Yi is very loyal to His Majesty Xiao Baojuan! Xiao Baojuan basically relied on Lord Xiao Yi to be the emperor for so long. ”

So, this time Xiao Yi came to Xiangyang. You don't want him to go back. We can't let Xiao Yi be killed by Xiao Baojuan. When we settle Xiao Baojuan, we still need Xiao Yi to come out to maintain the situation. Xiao Yan said.

"Lord, if Lord Xiao Yi slipped back to Jiankang City. I'm afraid he will also help Xiao Baojuan to suppress our rebellion. Wang Mao said worriedly.

"Yes. Xiao Yi is very stubborn. The concept of loyalty and patriotism in his heart is very strong. Xiao Yan said worriedly.

He thought to himself: If you come to suppress our rebellion. I'm in a dilemma.

Chen Qingzhi said: "I suggest that you directly find someone to arrest Lord Xiao Yi and his entourage. Xiao Baojuan must have sent an assassin this time. Otherwise, he would not have been able to rest assured. ”

"Is it that serious?" Xiao Yan was suddenly shocked.

"Yes. Xiao Baojuan has already asked Brazil to guard Liu Shanyang secretly. Chen Qingzhi said.

"Bashu's army is not easy to deal with." Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel worried.

"So, Lord Xiao Yi is here. We need to detain him right away. Then, defeat Liu Shanyang. Wave the army to the east and seize Jiankang City. Chen Qingzhi said.

Ten days later, Xiao Yi arrived in Xiangyang by water.

He saw that the people in the street seemed to be very cheerful.

The soldiers on the street were in good order.

He thought to himself: Yongzhou, which the third brother governs, is indeed good. Especially the capital Xiangyang, it is simply a paradise!

"Sir. Do you think Lord Xiao Yan has any signs of rebellion? The attendant asked.

"Nope. Isn't it just cutting bamboo? He may have been building a building and growing the economy. It doesn't have to be for rebellion! The people in the center are completely chasing after the wind. Xiao Yi said with a smile.

"Master, the villain may not see it. Because, Lord Xiao Yan has always been ambitious. He often talked about His Majesty. If Lord Xiao Yan is really ready to rebel. What about the lord? The attendant asked.

"I'll kill him. Our Xiao family is full of loyalty, how can we betray the court? Xiao Yanruo rebelled. I'm going to kill him. Xiao Yi clenched his fists and scolded.

"My lord, why are you so loyal to Your Majesty's Great Dusk King?" The retinue began to be indignant.

"You're wrong. Your Majesty is a faint king. However, if you treat the faint king, you will rebel. As a result, the world will only become more and more chaotic. The reason why the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Dynasties have been divided and divided is because each other's ministers can rebel for the sake of the so-called virtuous and mediocre. Today you say that the monarch is mediocre, and you will rebel. Tomorrow, others can also say that you are a faint king, and continue to rebel. The world is getting more and more chaotic. Xiao Yi said sadly.

"What the lord said is not unreasonable. However, it is true that His Majesty is not a wise monarch. If it continues. I am afraid that the State of Qi will be destroyed by the State of Wei. The attendant worried.

"The position of the emperor is not so easy to sit in. Many people just don't understand this. Many people think that when they become emperors, they will have three palaces and six courts. You can also have the power to dominate the world. In fact, the thieves don't know the pain of being an emperor. Xiao Yi scolded.

Subsequently, Xiao Yi met Xiao Yan at the Yongzhou Thorn Shi Mansion.

"Brother. It's been a long time. Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Third brother. You've been busy lately! I heard you've been training lately! Xiao Yi said tentatively.

"Yes. In order to defend against the attack of the Wei State. Xiao Yan said perfunctorily.

"Wei State? Does it take such a large sailor to defend against the Wei State? Could it be that the third brother is preparing for the Northern Expedition? Xiao Yi said with a smile.

"It's not. I just want to defend my family and country. Not as ambitious as the Northern Expedition. Xiao Yan laughed.

"But you're so expanding. Your Majesty already thinks that you have signs of rebellion. Xiao Yi said.

"It was all a misunderstanding." Xiao Yan explained.

"Misunderstanding? In fact, you are really a rebel. It doesn't matter. What about rebellion? Like today's chaos. Even if it's a rebellion, it's not a big deal. Probably, you will be emperor tomorrow. rebelled, ascended the throne, and was overthrown again. In today's world, even such a vicious circle. Xiao Yi said angrily.

"Did you hear something in the capital?" Xiao Yan asked.

"It's not. I think Your Majesty is mediocre. However, it is not feasible to commit the following crimes. Xiao Yi said angrily.

He thought to himself: Xiao Yan seems to have really rebelled. He just felt that Xiao Baojuan was not qualified to be the emperor.

He didn't look afraid of being wronged at all. He must be going to rebel.

The next day, the assassin Lu Fang, sent by Xiao Baojuan, had already appeared on the mountain of Xiangyang.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi are inspecting the cutting of bamboo on the mountain.

Suddenly, Lu Fang picked up the sickle and rushed towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yi pulled out his sword and stabbed at Lu Fang.

Lu Fang fell to the ground on the spot.

Xiao Yan was shocked and said, "Who is going to assassinate me?" I have no grievances with the people of Xiangyang! ”

"Third brother. This man was sent by His Majesty. When I go back this time, I will tell Your Majesty that you have been wronged. I hope that the third brother will not continue and do something that is easy to be misunderstood. Xiao Yi whispered.

Xiao Yan thought to herself: Xiao Yi, why do you want to go back?

If you go back, you will be killed. Xiao Baojuan won't believe you no matter what.

Xiao Yi left Xiangyang the next day and set off for Jiankang City.

Xiao Yi saw Xiao Baojuan.

Xiao Baojuan asked: "Do you think Xiao Yan has rebelled?" ”

Xiao Yan did not rebel. He was wronged. He cut down bamboo to develop the economy. Not for anything else. Xiao Yi explained.

"You're underestimating me. I already know. You killed the Assassins I sent. Xiao Yan is showing signs of rebellion. You actually sheltered him. So you deserve to die too. Xiao Baojuan scolded.

Xiao Yi shouted: "Your Majesty, I regret protecting a faint monarch like you. ”

Xiao Baojuan picked up the big knife and shouted, "I'll send you underground now." You go and talk to the Emperor. ”

After speaking, Xiao Baojuan hacked Xiao Yi to death with a single knife.

Xiao Yan soon got the news that Xiao Yi had been killed.

"What? Xiao Yi was actually killed by Xiao Baojuan? Xiao Yan roared.

"My lord. Now, Xiao Baojuan is already planning to get rid of you. He had already sent Liu Shanyang, the Brazilian Taishou, to lead a large army. Lu Shengzhen said.

Lu Seng Zhen is a fierce general under Xiao Yan, and he has long been helping Xiao Yan train a sailor.

"Lu Seng Zhen. How well is the wood and bamboo cut? Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"The bamboo has been cut down. I transported it by boat. Lu Seng Zhen said with a smile.

"The soldiers of Yongzhou, Xiao Baojuan is mediocre and cruel to Zhongliang, and he has already reached the point of anger and resentment. I destroyed him for the sake of all the people of the world. Are you willing to join me in supporting the country's Jiangshan Sheji? Xiao Yan asked.

"Willing to ......," shouted the Yongzhou soldiers.

Shangyong Taishou Wei Rui came to Yongzhou to defect to Xiao Yan.

When Xiao Yan heard this, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mengfu to come." ”

The two were talking, and Cao Jingzong also led his clansmen to defect.
