Chapter 421: Write or Die
The rain shows no signs of stopping.
Yan Jie took a hat and a cloak, and ran quickly in the drizzle.
For a person over 50 years old, even small steps can be very tiring.
But Yan Jie had no way not to run.
His time was running out.
When he rejected Li Tong's will three times, Yan Jie knew that his life had entered the countdown stage.
He had to do what he had to do before Li Tong killed him.
At this moment, the place where Yan Jie is going is the academy.
At present, the only thing that can save Datang is the academy.
Although the master is gone, there are still Mr. Big in the academy, and there are still Mr. Two and Mr. Three.
What's more. Mr. Big is also the teacher of Li Xuan, the sixth prince.
The sixth prince and the empress were under house arrest from the day the new emperor ascended the throne, and all the officials of the empress's family had no way to see the empress.
Yan Jie could only pin his hopes on the academy.
As the living house of Datang. Yan Jie didn't believe in that edict at all.
No one knows Li Hong's attitude towards several princes better than him, and Li Tong has never been in Li Hong's sight, although Li Tong is also very good. But Li Hong didn't like him.
The reason is also very simple, the noble concubine is from Guanzhong County!
Li Hong has been working hard all his life to control and suppress Guanzhong County, but he doesn't want them to become bigger, if the throne is passed to Li Tong again, then Guanzhong County will no longer be able to contain it, and at that time, Datang will no longer be the Tang of the Li family, but the Datang of Guanzhong County.
On the day the edict was announced, Yan Jie took a long-term sick leave and was not ready to enter the imperial city again, but Li Tong would not let him go so easily, and issued three holy decrees to let him enter the palace, Yan Jie still did not have the courage to resist the three holy decrees after all.
After entering the palace, Li Tong directly stated his position and wanted Yan Jie to be the new emperor's living note.
Yan Jie naturally refused, and Li Tong almost cut him on the spot.
However, considering the particularity of Yan Jie's status, Li Tong still resisted the idea of killing people on the spot.
Since then, Yan Jie's life has not been easy, and the emperor wants to torture an official, and there are many means.
After rejecting Li Tong's request again, Yan Jie realized that his time was running out.
Before he died, he had to do the last thing for the queen and the Tang Dynasty.
The academy is right in front of you!
Yan Jie even had a feeling that the light was right in front of him.
But soon. The light was snuffed out.
Xuanjia Army!
The Xuanjia army led by Niu Ben blocked the only way to the academy.
Three Xuanjia soldiers in black armor blocked Yan Jie, and his head was also wrapped in armor. Only one pair of eyes were revealed.
What a terrifying look at that, a civil official like Yan Jie couldn't stand it at all, and his legs began to tremble when he was glanced at by the other party.
" Take a step forward and shoot and kill. " Xuanjia Jun said indifferently.
Although Yan Jie trembled, he had no intention of retreating, and he swallowed his saliva fiercely. Said:" I want to see Mr. Big!"
Xuanjiajun's answer still hasn't changed:" Take a step forward, shoot or kill!"
Perhaps it was the other party's indifference that inspired Yan Jie's courage in his heart, he straightened his waist and really took a step forward," I want to see Mr. Big!"
Waves!
The three Xuanjia soldiers pulled out the long swords at their waists at the same time, and then the three swords rested on Yan Jie's neck in unison. It is crossed.
" Trespass on forbidden land, kill!"
Yan Jie closed his eyes in despair.
" The first emperor, the minister did his best. "
Yet a moment later. Yan Jie didn't feel the pain.
Are you still alive?
He secretly opened his eyes a slit, only to see that the three Xuanjia soldiers had fallen to the ground, and more Xuanjia soldiers were rushing towards this side.
And on his side. There stood an angry young man.
" You dare to be my way!"
Yan Jie recognized the identity of this young man.
" Mr. Five, you came at the right time. " Yan Jie almost burst into tears.
This young man is Yue Chen.
After he escaped from Zhiyueguan, he rushed all the way to the academy without stopping, and coincidentally rescued Yan Jie.
Dozens of Xuanjia soldiers came to the scene, they all showed their weapons, and the atmosphere on the street suddenly became extremely solemn!
Yue Chen was not afraid at all, and even at this moment, he had already moved his murderous intent.
" All stand down. "
At a critical moment, Niu Ben, the commander of the Xuanjia Army, stood up and stopped his soldiers.
" Ben Niu Ben has seen Mr. Wu of the Academy. "
Yue Chen glanced at him and asked: " Now the Xuanjia Army is under your control?"
Niu Ben nodded:" Yes. "
Yue Chen sighed and said:" Blocking the way to the college. Also your command?"
Niu Ben Says:" Your Majesty's order. "
" Why?> Yue Chen asked.
" Your Majesty's intentions would not have dared to speculate. " Niu Ben said.
Yue Chen said:" Then I'm going to go in, and you're going to stop it?"
Niu Ben Says:" Ben would not have dared. "
Yue Chen sneered:" Forgive me for not daring. "
After that, he turned his head and said to Yan Jie: " Let's go. "
Yan Jie nodded again and again, following behind Yue Chen like a little daughter-in-law.
" Wait. " Niu Ben stopped them with a stride :" Mr. Five, you can go in, but he can't. "
Yue Chen frowned:" Why?"
" Your Majesty's order. " Niu Ben said.
Yue Chen said:" What if I have to take him in?"
" Please don't embarrass me, Mr. Five. " Niu Ben said.
Yue Chen said:" Oh, I'm going to embarrass you. "
After speaking, he led Yan Jie to break in.
Niu Ben's eyes flashed with a fierce look. made a gesture.
The Xuanjia army behind him immediately rushed up and surrounded the two of them.
As the most capable branch of the Tang Army, the strength of the Xuanjia Army should not be underestimated, if Yue Chen is single-handed, he is sure that he can break through, but with a powerless Yan Jie, he is not sure.
And Yue Chen also knew very well that the Xuanjia Army would not and would not dare to take his actions against him, they would only kill Yan Jie desperately.
Although Yue Chen couldn't figure out why Xuanjia Jun wanted to do something to an old man, Yue Chen's subconscious told him that this old man should be a very important person, and it was always right to take him to the academy to meet the senior brother.
What's more, the Xuanjia Army has never attacked the Tang people, but now it is uncharacteristically doing it to its own people, there must be some ulterior secrets in this.
So it's always right to bring him into the academy.
Now the question is, how can we bring this person in.
Yue Chen was thinking.
If you don't care about life and death, you can barely bring people in, but this will hurt not only the Xuanjia Army, but also the relationship between the academy and Datang, the life and death of the teacher are uncertain, and all kinds of high-pressure means after the new emperor ascends the throne, if at this juncture, the academy will fall out with the Tang royal family, then Datang will really be stormy.
" I can only ask for help from the sidelines. " Yue Chen sighed, and then shouted in the direction of the academy:" Senior brother, second senior brother, someone is bullying your junior brother!"
