57. Set fire

The little eunuch guarding the door of the palace was just frightened by the movement inside, and when he saw the emperor leaving the palace, he hurriedly followed behind him. Seeing that the emperor didn't even shout, he just walked all the way to the city gate with a calm face, and finally climbed to the enemy viewing platform on the city tower.

The gate of the Great Yuan Imperial City was originally built during the reign of the founding ancestor, and it was repaired several times by the emperor after generations, and now it is still red and yellow tiles, and it is extremely majestic. There are two layers of heavy eaves tower built on the city gate, the cylindrical pillar of vermilion lacquer color is built around the sky, the dragon coils around, the eaves angle flies, it is also magnificent.

The enemy viewing platform is located in the middle of the city tower, the city platform is down, there are horse roads on all sides of the city, and they are heavily guarded on weekdays, and the guard is strict.

Gao Yan once stood on top of these 10,000 people in a dragon robe, watching the ministers in front of him bow their heads and watch the mighty army of the Yuan Kingdom go.

He thought that after removing Gao Xun, the whole world would be in his hands in the future. And today, across the imperial wall, the outside is not under his own orders, but a black and oppressive enemy army.

Gao Yan is naturally unwilling, the position he has obtained for many years will fall into the hands of others so soon!

Outside the city gate, Qin Li was wearing black armor and standing in front of the soldiers on horseback. Seeing that Gao Yan finally appeared on the castle tower, he waved his gun and shouted:

"Gao Yan, you finally dare to show up. If it doesn't appear again, everyone in the world will still think that my emperor of Dayuan turned out to be a turtle with a shrunken head! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a low laughter below.

Being ridiculed so blatantly in front of everyone, Gao Yan suddenly felt that he had lost face, and he couldn't hold his breath anymore, and said angrily:

"Qin Li! I am a great man! You dare to speak to me like this, you, you are really the opposite, you traitor, you are not worthy of being the general of my Great Yuan! ”

"This general, I don't want to be for a long time."

Qin Li's eyes were full of disdain for Gao Yan. In the past two years, he has harbored ghosts in his heart, and he has already secretly colluded with the Huns. Previously, because he was afraid of high inquiries and the time was not yet ripe, he did not take action. Unexpectedly, God's will helped, and Gao Heng died unexpectedly. He took the opportunity to help put Gao Xun to death, leaving only this weak prince, who had long been out of his eyes.

At this moment, he laughed more and more rampantly: "Gao Yan, with your appearance, the position of the king of this country, can you sit firmly?" Since you can't sit still, I'll sit down! ”

Gao Yan stood on the tower of the city and looked at him without saying a word, his face becoming more and more gloomy.

"Gao Yan, since ancient times, the king has been defeated, and the city of Yongzhou has now been occupied by my army. If you obediently give up the throne at this time, the last general may be able to save your life. Otherwise, don't blame the end for not remembering the old love. ”

The more than 100,000 cavalry led by Qin Li broke through the vulnerable Yongzhou City in one fell swoop as early this morning, and the once prosperous Kyoto was also in ruins and a mess at the moment. Now facing this huge imperial city, although it still seems to be a strong barrier on the surface, in fact, some of the remaining soldiers and generals in the palace are only demoralized. This throne will be in his pocket sooner or later.

Gao Yan saw his extremely arrogant appearance, he trembled with anger, gritted his teeth and ordered: "The Imperial Forest Army in the palace, the three Praetorian Guards are all on battle!" Defend this gate for me, even if you die, you can't let these thieves enter my imperial city! ”

After the words fell, Gao Yan hurriedly got off the enemy viewing platform, walked back to the front hall quickly, stood in front of the magnificent palace gate, and shouted loudly: "Come on, set fire to burn all here!" ”

"What I can't get, I'm going to destroy it, I'm going to destroy it!"

Gao Yan was still wearing a bright dragon robe, but his back was soaked with cold sweat. He clenched his fists and began to pace back and forth, looking around from time to time as if he had some kind of magic barrier.

The eunuch guards on the side were all stunned when they saw this, and one of the chief eunuchs was stunned for a long time. finally shrunk his head and stepped forward, and asked tremblingly, "Your Majesty, are you...... You said you were going to burn this place ......? ”

"Didn't you hear what I said?!" Gao Yan turned his head suddenly, and his cruel eyes made Manager Li tremble instantly, only to hear him roar again: "I want you to pour oil on this Xuanping Palace, Chaoxing Palace, and Changle Palace!" You, one by one, who stands still again, I will let his head move now! ”

When the others heard this, they didn't dare to stand still stupidly. Looking at the emperor's current appearance, if he angers him again, I am afraid that he will really ask for their heads on the spot. One by one, they received the holy order, and hurried to get oil and find firewood.

After Gao Yan scolded angrily, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and walked quickly to the main hall, immersed in his own thoughts along the way.

My jade seal, my jade seal.

The Middle Temple.

In front of the gate of the palace, the guards who should have been guarding outside the hall at all times are nowhere to be found at this moment. Gao Yan didn't have time to notice this, he pushed open the door of the hall, but the moment the door opened, he saw a white figure in the hall.

"White mulberry? What are you doing?! ”

Gao Yan stepped forward, grabbed the wrist of the person in the hall, approached her, and asked viciously:

"What are you doing in my study?!"

Bai Sang seemed to be taken aback, endured the pain on his right wrist, and stiffened his body and couldn't move. Her long hair hadn't all been curled into a bun today, and as she lowered her head, it fell down slightly, so that Gao Yan couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but suddenly noticed something else.

"What are you hiding in your sleeve!"

Gao Yan frowned, his eyes fell on her left hand, which was hidden on the other side, and asked sharply.

When Bai Sang heard this, he suddenly raised his head, smiled, and said softly:

"Has the emperor forgotten what he once said to his concubines?"

Looking at Gao Yan, who was stunned for a while, but still looking at him with a vigilant face, Bai Sang looked at him with full eyes, and continued to say slowly:

"You say that we are all in the same boat from beginning to end. There are so many secrets hidden between us, and the concubines can only live peacefully in this harem by relying on you. Now that your throne is not secured, the concubine is naturally helping the child. ”

Gao Yan looked at her for a long time, came back to his senses, and smiled suddenly: "Oh? The concubine said to me, what good way did you come here for me? ”

Bai Sang lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on his right wrist, and coaxed softly: "Your Majesty...... You let go of the concubines first. ”

"Okay."

Gao Yan nodded, and then let go of the right hand that was holding Bai Sang. didn't have time to see the redness that appeared on the thin white wrist, so in the next second, he grabbed the shoulders of the person in front of him again:

"Huh, what do you think? I see, you're thinking for someone else. ”

Gao Yan turned his face gloomy again, and sneered:

"Bai Sang, aren't you too smart? I can't remember...... When have you ever been so gentle with me? ”

Gao Yan stared at the person in front of him, getting closer and closer step by step, and kept asking:

"Say, what did you do when you came to my study? Well? Have you ever seen Gao Xun? Where is she now? Tell her to come out to me! This qiē, is it all her ghost, you asked her to come out! ”

Gao Yan's hands on his shoulders became more and more forceful, seeing that Bai Sang couldn't make a sound no matter how he asked him, Gao Yan was even more angry, as if he had lost his mind, and his hands directly pinched her neck.

"Your Majesty!"

The sudden sound made Gao Yan feel startled in his heart for no reason, and his hand subconsciously relaxed his strength, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure appearing outside the main hall.

"Yu Yan?" Gao Yan looked at the people who were approaching step by step from outside the hall, put down his hands, with a cold face, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing again?" ”

Song Yuyan walked not far from the two of them, and after bowing to Gao Yan, her eyes seemed to sweep over Bai Sang, who was panting urgently, and slowly spoke:

"Concubine Yi Niangniang......"

She paused, turned to face Gao Yan in front of her, and said:

"It was called by the concubine. The concubine searched the whole hall and couldn't find you, so she had to call Concubine Yi to help. ”

When Gao Yan heard this, his face became more and more unhappy, and he seemed to be impatient and said:

"Why do you have to go to the main hall with Concubine Yi to find me in person, what are the people in this palace doing? When did the queen not know how to be so polite! ”

When Song Yuyan heard this, she lowered her head and replied slowly: "Your Majesty, if the rise and fall of this country is not a big deal, then in this world, I'm afraid there are no other major things to say." ”

When Gao Yan heard this, he knew what she was going to say, and listened patiently to the person in front of him with a frown:

"Your Majesty, now that the war is raging outside, how can you, as the king of a country, still hide in the palace like this?"

"Your Majesty, stop being obsessed. Now that the overall situation has been decided, the concubine knows that she shouldn't say this, but the concubine thinks, if you give up the throne at this time, maybe you can lose a few innocent lives and die tragically under the knife, aren't those lives comparable to ......?"

When Gao Yan heard this, he immediately interrupted her fiercely and said:

"What do you say? Tell me to give up the throne? ”

As if he had heard something incredible, he laughed angrily:

"Hahahaha, okay, they are all my good concubines, and now one or two don't take me seriously. Today, I want you to bury me here! ”

Gao Yan turned and walked towards the table, and out of nowhere, he pulled out a long golden knife. He raised his cruel eyes, drew his knife and wanted to slash in the direction of the two of them, but the moment he raised his hand, he was knocked to the ground by a hand sticking out from behind his back, and finally closed his eyes weakly.

Song Yuyan stared at the black-clothed man who appeared out of thin air in front of her with wide eyes, and then looked at Gao Yan, who was lying on the ground motionless, and said in disbelief: "You, he ......"

"I just passed out for a while."

The man in black bowed his head in response.

When Song Yuyan heard this, her heart fell, and she quickly calmed down, turned her head and asked:

"Tell me, why are you here, Bai Sang, what the hell do you want to do? Who is this person? ”

Bai Sang glanced up at the man in black, leaned over, and said softly:

"Queen Mother, please go to the prison with your concubines to save people."

Song Yuyan looked up and suddenly understood something.
