Chapter 368 Life is countless choices.

Two lines of tears slid down from Lin Wan'er's eyes silently and for no reason. It was an indescribable emotion that stimulated her tear glands and secreted water in her body.

As a daughter, she was actually not very close to her mother.

She was a stranger and followed the rules towards Li Yunrui. She felt more fear and terror than affection, and this was exactly what made Lin Wan'er feel even more uncomfortable.

At this time, she and Fan Xian were both in Dongyi City.

In this place where there are no relatives or friends.

This place is not far from Danzhou. Before going to Dongyi City, the two of them first went to their hometown in Danzhou. Their grandmother was still alive, but her health was getting worse day by day.

Fan Xian could not stay in Danzhou. He thought Li Chengze would not allow him to do so, as that would only lead the other party to do something that no one wanted to see.

Now that a powerful enemy is at hand, Li Chengze is also concerned about the black cavalry in Fan Xian's hands and the "mysterious" grandmaster behind him.

Fan Jian stayed here.

But the people from the Supervisory Council were unable to leave Kyoto City.

They were left there, and they only belonged there. They survived tenaciously in the shadow of the place called Kyoto.

No one would think of them, or if they did, they would just pretend not to see them. Chen Garden can be said to be the only forbidden place in Kyoto now, and everyone avoids it as much as possible.

When Emperor Qing was still around, all officials, big and small, were dissatisfied with the Supervisory Council. At this point, they were lucky not to add insult to injury. First, they valued their lives, and second, now was not the time to turn against each other. Judging from His Majesty's attitude, it seemed that he was reluctant to give up this intelligence network, and there was still a possibility of using it - as long as they were loyal to him, everything could be discussed.

Both sides restrained themselves tacitly.

Li Chengze used to envy the power in Fan Xian's hands, but when Fan Xian gave up the Supervisory Council and the Black Cavalry for the sake of the overall situation and then withdrew from Qing Kingdom, Li Chengze began to hate Fan Xian to the maximum.

Silent insults are the most deadly!
The Black Cavalry was also transferred to the border of Dongyi City and stationed there, making it look like a country within a country.

Fan Xian has a lot of wealth, but the expenses of nearly three thousand Black Knights are also very huge. If it weren't for Si Gu Jian's support, the Black Knights might have to "fend for themselves".

Lin Wan'er and Fan Xian returned to Dongyi City fifteen days ago. Almost a month had passed since Li Yunrui's death, and the news of her death had just spread.

The message omitted information about Yan Xiaoyi's arrow and poison, making it very concise.

But Fan Xian understood a lot from it.

He comforted his wife with soft words from time to time, but Lin Wan'er's current condition could not be healed by words. Ultimately, only time could heal the scars.

"Husband, how is my father now?"

"Don't worry. My father-in-law has been out of power for a long time. I don't think Li Chengze will do anything ruthless. After all, he is your second brother. Maybe in the future, your second brother will have to ask my father-in-law to come out and take charge of the overall situation."

Fan Xian was telling the truth, and Lin Wan'er nodded in agreement.

But thinking of her and her husband's current situation, she subconsciously worried, "What about us? Will we never return to Qing Kingdom?"

Fan Xian just shook his head to deny it, but said nothing.

The two of them fell into a state of silence.

Given the current situation, the choice lies not with Fan Xian or Li Chengze, but with Northern Qi and Western Hu.

If Xihu had made a different choice, Qing Kingdom would be in danger!

Fan Xian can still recall the scene that happened more than 20 days ago.
At the foot of a gentle slope on Cangzhou Road, the former imperial guards led by Prince Li Chengzong now only had less than 3,000 men. They rested on the gentle slope, while the pursuing troops from Dongyi City and Qing State were clearly separated three miles away.

The two sides got along in such a weird way, draining each other's energy.

"Master Ku He, how have you recovered from your injuries?" Li Chengze was pulled on the sleeve by his wife, and he quickly stopped talking. Then he sighed and asked, "What do you think we should do now? If we want to break out, as long as your body can hold up, I have a 70% chance of success."

"Don't be anxious, just wait." Ku He has not forgotten his identity as a cultivator over the years, and he has not even given up his ascetic practice. In addition to recuperating from his injuries, he recites scriptures and does his homework every day.

Although this move is of little use to the injuries, it can calm people's hearts.

"Now that I am injured, I don't think I will recover. As long as Si Gu Jian is by my side, your 70% success rate is useless. Just wait for the right person to show up, and it will not be difficult to leave."

"I know how to do it, but the repeated harassment and probing attacks from the other party every day are really annoying!"

Li Chengzong did not dare to mobilize his troops to be ruthless, for fear of provoking the enemy's murderous nature. Once the lower-level soldiers were aroused, it would be difficult for his side to stop the momentum without heavy bleeding. Once the real anger was aroused, it was hard to say that the enemy would not take advantage of the situation. Anyway, the time for delaying had been delayed.

By the time they reach Northern Qi, the countries will be prepared no matter how badly they fight.

Even if the Northern Qi army was stationed at the border, a rash attack would not only incur a huge price, but also risk being attacked from behind by the Western Hu. No one knew how Li An had arranged it, and everything had to wait until he showed up.

Things in the world change so fast that no one is prepared.

Li Chengzong thought back to when his father was still alive, he was like a lion, telling the world that he was the one with supreme ruling power over the territory.

Everyone seemed to be one step behind him.

As a son, I didn't inherit much of this courage.

While Prince He and Ku He were still suppressing their emotions and enduring their pains, there was a noise outside the camp.

Just when Li Chengzong thought it was another harassment and attack on the camp and hurriedly arranged for the first lieutenant to come out to check, he realized that the noise and commotion came from the enemy's position.

This is?

"Haha, Master Ku He, it looks like the person has arrived!"

"Great, pack up your supplies and get ready to go!"

Nodding, Li Chengzong shouted: "Brothers, cheer up and get ready to march!"

"Here!"

As everyone got busy, the chaotic sounds in the distance continued.

Two people!

Just two people!

It's like being in a no-man's land!

In the army formation, Li An looked at Si Gu Jian and Fan Xian who were cutting the roasted lamb leg with a knife, glanced at the general from the Ye family camp on the other side, and said, "You two are living a comfortable life, but I have to keep running around!"

"Mr. Li An, you didn't have to travel so much." Si Gu Jian said calmly without even raising his head.

"This is also for the sake of our own Majesty. As the saying goes, the superior says a word, and the subordinates run around and risk their lives. We are used to it!" Li An said, "I am very curious. Now, the only person in the world who can fight with me for hundreds of moves and still survive is you and Yelu Xuan. If I kill you here today, who else in the world can stop the progress of Da Qi?"

"You, aren't you afraid?"

Before Si Gu Jian and Fan Xian could say anything in response, the general of the Ye family in the other camp became furious. He slapped the long sword at his waist and shouted, "Sir, don't exaggerate! There are tens of thousands of troops behind you, and they will not let you escape from Qing Kingdom so easily!"

Fan Xian stuffed the wild goat barbecue into his mouth, and his calm voice echoed throughout the room: "Mr. Li is not exaggerating. I believe that Mr. Li can do this. However, the price of doing so will be very huge, so high that the people you are protecting behind you cannot afford it, Northern Qi cannot afford it, and the empress of your country cannot afford it!"

"."

What is Fan Xian talking about?
Everyone looked puzzled.

Could it be that because he lost an arm, his brain stopped working and he started talking nonsense?
