Su Muxian carefully pounded the back for Dang Jinzi, thinking that he was not only the first innkeeper to enter the palace ever, but also the first innkeeper to beat the emperor's back. When I think about it, I still have a little pride - if it weren't such an embarrassing scene now.

The emperor has just passed his sixtieth birthday, but he looks like he is only forty or fifty years old, and he is not old. He is tall, but he looks a little thin because of his long-term illness. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, leaning lazily on the dragon chair with his head in one hand, as if he was completely unaware of what was happening below, and said to Su Muxian, who involuntarily stopped moving, in a relaxed tone: "Don't stop." ”

Su Muxian answered in a very low voice and continued to pinch his shoulders for him.

There was a group of people standing below, Su Muxian didn't dare to take a closer look, and secretly raised his eyes to glance, only to see Mei Hongxue, who was the leader in white and graceful, and a middle-aged man dressed luxuriously.

That person should be the King of Qin.

Su Muxian thought subconsciously, and then looked at the secret guards who suddenly appeared on the left and right with knives to protect the dragon chair, and then retracted his gaze and looked at his nose and nose and did his own thing seriously.

Not long after she stepped into the Taihe Hall with trepidation, a group of people dressed in rivers and lakes rushed in. The person who took the lead, Su Muxian, didn't know him, but listening to his voice, he still recognized him as the so-called martial arts alliance leader who had a secret conversation with Lu Sheng in the middle of the night.

What did he want to do, from his conversation that night Su Muxian had guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight, seeing him at this time, before Su Muxian could cry out in panic, more than a dozen secret guards in strong suits jumped out from all directions, surrounded the dragon chair, and flashed out the swords.

However, before they could make a move, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the hall: "There are assassins, protect the emperor!" ”

Immediately afterwards, a group of people rushed to the Taihe Palace, and it was King Qin's father and son who came back.

What's going on!

Su Muxian couldn't say that he was suffering in his heart.

She just wanted to quietly help the emperor beat his back and then leave the scene in peace, but now this little wish felt a little hanging. The sword has no eyes, and the fire at the city gate will affect the pond fish, and if she makes a move later, there is a chance that she, the little palace maid, will be cannon fodder.

"The emperor is so confident, doesn't he think that a few secret guards can protect you?" The atmosphere in the room was too quiet, and King Qin couldn't hold his breath and took the lead in breaking the silence.

"Oh? Isn't it you, the royal brother, who is confident? The emperor lifted his eyelids slightly and said casually.

The King of Qin and the others brought in only a dozen or so cronies, but they seemed to have won the battle. As for the group of charlatans who came in before them, they were lying on the ground and breathing more and less recently.

King Qin's face sank and said, "It seems that the emperor does not agree with our conditions?" ”

A group of them rushed in shouting the slogan of catching assassins, stabbed this group of Jianghu people in three or two clicks, and then gave the emperor two choices: one was to automatically write an abdication edict to give way to King Qin, anyway, he was not in good health and could not last much, so he could keep him from dying; Second, if he does not agree, then the next day the palace will announce that the emperor was killed by a group of thieves, and there are King Qin's private troops inside and outside the palace, and it is easy to take the throne.

To sum up the two choices, no matter what the process is, I, the King of Qin, want to become the emperor.

Su Muxian: "......"

It's rare to have such a rebellion in these years.

"What about agreeing and what about disagreeing?" The emperor rolled his sleeves and looked indifferently at the group of people standing below.

"I thought you would grow and improve over the years, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid." He calmly said to King Qin, "I won't write an edict of abdication. ”

"Hmph, it's better for the emperor to be a man and know the times." King Qin was stimulated by his words and seemed a little excited, "The guards of the entire palace have been replaced by my Pingxi army, and there are all my people inside and outside the palace, and I still have an army of 30,000 people waiting outside the city." The prince's mansion has been besieged, and no matter how powerful King Huo is, he has also broken his arms by me, and now he is equivalent to a wasted person. ”

"I don't know what else the emperor has to rely on? Just with your few weak guards? ”

Speaking of this, Mei Hongxue, who was standing beside him, made a gesture, and the shadow, who had been silent, took a step forward with his sword.

The emperor didn't seem to see their small movements, his eyes only stayed on King Qin, and after listening to him, he paused slightly, as if digesting the content of his words, and then nodded: "It's me who said it wrong, you still have made some progress over the years." ”

Knowing that placing people in the palace, trapping the crown prince and King Huo, and cultivating the Pingxi army, he has improved a lot compared to the means when he fought for the throne.

"This throne should have been mine!"

King Huo pointed at his nose and scolded: "The first queen died early, and my mother is also the queen!" are also descendants, obviously I am better, and my father also prefers me, why should I give you the throne to inherit! ”

The emperor was silent, and quietly watched him scold.

"If it weren't for the fact that when my father was seriously ill, I would have faced the rebels in Biansai, which round would have you poured ** soup for my father!"

"Since ancient times, the succession to the throne has been the establishment of succession." The Emperor finally spoke.

"If the elder is incompetent, he should be virtuous! Where are you like me in your ability? Fight people's hearts, where can you fight me? In terms of the talent for governing the country and the military merits, I have all of them, do you have them? King Huo asked.

"I should have been the son of today, and my son should also be the prince of the East Palace!" He pointed to the dragon chair in the Jinluan Hall with one hand and said, "This chair can't be your turn to sit at all!" ”

"You said I shouldn't have been sitting, but I've been sitting for more than twenty years." The emperor said calmly, "You said that you are more suitable to be an emperor than me, maybe in terms of talent, but you don't have the benevolence of a monarch, which is why my father didn't choose you in the end." ”

He waved his hand to signal Su Muxian to stop, and stood up with his own handrail, looking down at King Qin and his party condescendingly.

Since the King of Qin and others entered Beijing, he refused to meet these people because of his ill health, although he had expected it for a long time, but he still had indescribable feelings when he saw these people standing in front of him.

The royal family affection has always been weak, and brothers, friends and brothers are just imaginations.

"Imperial brother, you are guarding the people in Pingxi against harsh taxes, and training the Pingxi army privately, do you think I really don't know?" The emperor pointed to a stack of folds on the table and said, "There is nothing new under the day, if you want people to know it, you can't do it unless you do." The ministers are all here, if I hadn't suppressed it, do you think you would still be standing here and showing off your might? ”

As soon as he raised his hand, he fell directly to the feet of King Qin.

"Look, what do the ministers say? I really don't know anything? ”

When he was angry, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and cough lightly, Su Muxian looked left and right, the secret guards were on guard, no one could take care of it, so he had to step forward and help him gently pat his back to smooth his breath.

King Qin stood still in place: "Since the emperor knows, it will be much easier." ”

Mei Hongxue didn't speak after she came in, and then she also said with a gentle smile: "In addition to King Huo and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, all the important ministers are also under our surveillance. In addition, there are many of our people in the capital, and many people have recently come in to watch the Lantern Festival. ”

"Don't threaten me." The emperor glanced at him, "You are the one who led these Jianghu people to rebel and colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty, right?" can stir the rivers and lakes into a pool of muddy waters, you are smarter than the emperor's brother. ”

He even knew that.

Mei Hongxue's face changed slightly. He secretly tempted the group of Jianghu people led by the leader of the Wulin Alliance to usurp the throne in the hope that they could attract the attention of the official when they made a fuss, so as to achieve the purpose of covering up their own side, and after the matter was completed, he could also push the pot on them and take himself out innocently, but he didn't expect the emperor to know everything.

"No matter what you say or how much you know, you won't be able to walk out of this hall today." King Qin snorted coldly and beckoned to the person beside him, and the man in black who was ready to attack immediately rushed forward.

"Protect the Emperor!"

"Take Your Majesty to withdraw first!"

The secret guards surrounding the emperor immediately dispersed to meet the king of Qin, and a few of them rushed straight towards the king of Qin and Mei Hongxue, probably planning to capture the thief and capture the king first, so in the end, only one person remained by the emperor's side to guard.

Su Muxian trembled a little.

The hands are shaking, the legs are shaking, and the heart is shaking.

It's completely defenseless to say that she will fight, and she has thin skin and little blood, can she still walk out of this gate safely and completely......

"Your Majesty, go this way." The secret guard used his body to cover the emperor and slowly retreated towards the gate, and Su Muxian saw that she was the only one left above the main hall at this time, and immediately trotted to follow the two of them.

Brother Dark Guard, you need to be more powerful.

She prayed silently, trying to lower her sense of existence, and her only wish was to quickly leave here to find a place to hide, and then wait for Jiang Yuan to come back to her.

…… Speaking of which, he should come.

Su Muxian quietly doubted for a second, and then immediately straightened his mind.

Whether he comes or not, the most important thing now is to get out quickly and don't give his life here!

Today, however, she was destined to backfire.

The black-clothed man who was following Mei Hongxue's side to bravely meet the emperor's secret guard saw that they were about to run, and as soon as the sword was crossed, he blocked the attack, turned around and stabbed at them.

"Be careful!"

The secret guard shouted, pulling the emperor to narrowly avoid this sword, and this move also revealed Su Muxian who was quietly hiding behind the emperor.

Su Muxian: "......! ”

Isn't it, she can't even use the emperor as a meat shield?

The tip of the sword swung over her head with a slight whistling sound, shaving off a strand of hair. Su Muxian only felt as if a basin of cold water was pouring down from the top of her head, making her heavenly spirit cover cold.

It's a premature life, and this feeling of passing by death is really exciting.

"If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing, if you don't die, you will have a blessing in the future......" She said something in her mouth, and took two steps back without a trace.

The black-clothed swordsman missed a blow and stabbed at the emperor again with a backhand swing. The dark guard had to deal with his attack while protecting the emperor, and it didn't take long for it to show its decline, and there was a faint sense of powerlessness between the parries.

Su Muxian was already a little far away from them, and the people around her were all fighting but no one noticed that she was such a small character, she was overjoyed, she was going to take advantage of the chaos to run towards the main entrance of the main hall, and suddenly she was hit hard, and she saw that the secret guard pushed the emperor over to her.

Facing her blank eyes, the dark guard shouted with red eyes and stubbornly held: "Take Your Majesty away!" ”

Su Muxian: "...... No way! ”

Shopkeeper Su, who rarely scolds in his life, couldn't help but be rude at this time.

His Majesty the Emperor is now a hot potato, is the enemy the object of attention, okay? She took him with her as if she were carrying a moving humanoid live target, just waiting to be strung into a hole, what else to go.

Sure enough, as soon as the emperor shifted, the sword of the black-clothed swordsman turned in a different direction and came towards Su Muxian.

The emperor was weak, and in this case he could only tug on her sleeve tightly. Su Muxian shook it twice and didn't get rid of it, so she had to run with him.

I don't know what kind of decay god she committed, just when Su Muxian pulled the emperor Xià and prepared to dodge the attack again, she suddenly tripped over something under her feet, and the whole person rushed forward uncontrollably - to outsiders, it seemed like she sacrificed herself to take the initiative to block a sword for the emperor.

The tip of the sword pierced into the shoulder blade.

Hurt.

It hurts to death.

Warm blood splashed out and sprinkled all over her body, and the black-clothed swordsman didn't even blink his eyes, he drew out his long sword indifferently, and didn't care about Su Muxian, who was thrown aside by this force, and stabbed at the emperor again.

Su Muxian was so painful that she almost lost consciousness, curled up on the ground holding her wounds, and looked up with difficulty to look at the culprit who tripped over her—a few books that had fallen down when His Majesty had lost his temper before.

Su Muxian: "......"

Feel like you're ...... Died unjustly.

……

The blood from the wound couldn't stop flowing more and more, the water-red palace maid's clothes had been dyed dark, Su Muxian's consciousness was already a little blurred when he fell to the ground, and there were fewer and fewer people looking at the emperor's side with a hazy vision, and the remaining few gradually gathered around him, just waiting for the fish to die and the net to break to sacrifice themselves to save him.

I didn't expect that the god stick on Jade Street was quite accurate, this is really a bloody disaster.

Looking at it, for some reason, Su Muxian suddenly remembered what the blind half-immortal had said, and couldn't help but regret a little that he shouldn't have given up those few small dollars, at least he should have asked him to help eliminate the disaster, but unfortunately it's too late to say anything now.

It's late......

Huh?

With a creak, the door of the main hall was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the firelight poured in from the outside, Su Muxian squinted his eyes and saw the four people standing at the front.

Jiang Yuanzhong, Hu Xiaodie, Tang Yuyi, and ...... Murong was shocked.

Everyone in the main hall was shocked by this sudden scene, but it was King Qin's panicked shouts that recalled everyone's sanity.

"Where's the guards! What about the guards! How did they get in! ”

Although he hadn't seen these people, he usually heard Mei Hongxue mention a sentence or two, and he could barely match the number, so he naturally knew that they would not come to help him. And the fact that they were able to stand in front of the door intact showed that the guards he had placed outside the door were of no use.

Originally, he thought that he had won the victory, as if he saw that the throne was in front of him, and a chill arose in his heart.

He was proud of the Pingxi Army......

Mei Hongxue was the first to react, and ordered her subordinates: "Hold these people!" ”

Without his orders, Tang Yuyi and Hu Xiaodie had already joined the battle. Murong Jingxue glanced at Jiang Yuanzhong, and also appeared beside the emperor with a sword, blocking the sword move of the black-clothed swordsman for him.

Jiang Yuanzhong felt that the blood in his whole body was going to cool and coagulate.

He stared at the little palace maid in the water-red palace dress who was covered in blood and curled up and fell to the ground, and he didn't even have the courage to step forward. He didn't dare to go up to confirm whether Su Muxian was dead or alive, the answer was the front table, if the answer was the latter......

He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

After contacting Huo Yan, he found Hu Xiaodie and Tang Yuyi again, and after stating the cause and effect of the incident, the other party expressed his willingness to enter the palace with him to rescue Su Muxian, and by the way, he also kidnapped Murong Jingxue who he met together. Huo Yan's Huo family army and Pingxi army fought at the palace gate, causing a lot of chaos. They entered the palace in advance, inquired all the way, and finally learned that Su Muxian might be in the Taihe Palace, but unfortunately the emperor and King Qin and others were also there.

When asked about Su Muxian's whereabouts, Jiang Yuanzhong had some ominous premonitions, and now, he found that the premonitions had come true.

"Jiang ...... Yuan Zhong ......"

Su Muxian saw him standing still at the door, and stretched out his hand to him with difficulty.

She felt that she could still save her now, and if she didn't come to save her by standing stupidly, she would really die.

The next second the words fell, the man standing at the door appeared beside her, as if he had found a lost treasure, and hugged her tightly into his arms, as if he was about to rub it into his own blood.

Su Muxian: "I ......"

"It's great that you're alive." Jiang Yuanzhong still hugged her tightly.

Su Muxian: "......"

No, you believe me, if you keep holding me like this, I'm really going to be finished.

She cast a signal for help with her eyes, but Jiang Yuanzhong, who was immersed in the joy that she was still alive, obviously did not receive this signal, so she had to struggle and poke his back with her finger.

"Hurt ......"

After saying the last word, she finally fainted completely in front of her.

Jiang Yuanzhong: "......"

Not good.

Finally realizing that he had done something wrong, he hurriedly took out the medicine bottle that Xiao Qinglin gave him from his arms, poured out one and fed it into Su Muxian's mouth, and then tore off a piece of fabric from his clothes to temporarily prick the wound.

"I'll do it." Hu Xiaodie gasped and stopped beside him, "You go and get rid of them first." ”

She pointed to the cronies of the King of Qin, who were still fighting back desperately.

The soldiers outside have not been completely solved, and only a few of them inside can spare their hands to help, and the emperor's secret guards are almost dead and wounded, but there are still about a dozen people on King Qin's side.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, take care of her."

After Jiang Yuanzhong finished speaking, he picked up a sword and joined the melee.

Mei Hongxue was the closest to him, so he was also the first target to attack.

Mei Hongxue seemed very excited to see him appear, and her usually gentle expression was also a little distorted: "You said that you would not interfere in this matter." ”

"You believe what I say?" Jiang Yuan tilted his head expressionlessly, dodging the attack of his sword move, and with a wrong step, his wrist flip left a bloody mark on his body.

"I really didn't want to interfere, but there are accidents in everything."

If Su Muxian hadn't strayed into the tunnel and entered the palace, he really wouldn't necessarily interfere in their royal affairs.

"Huh." Mei Hongxue sneered, not seeming to believe his words.

Although Mei Hongxue ranked first on the list of promising youths in the rivers and lakes, she was not as good as Jiang Yuanzhong in terms of force alone, and she had already done it before, and it took a lot of physical effort, and she was defeated after a while, and was grabbed by Jiang Yuanzhong and pressed her hands to the ground.

The strength of the black-clothed swordsman who fought against Murong Jingxue was obviously very high, and it took so long to show his decline, seeing that he was showing his flaws, Murong Jingxue was about to pierce his throat with a sword, but was stopped by Jiang Yuanzhong.

"Brother Murong, slow down."

The sword had already been shot, and when he heard this, Murong Jingxue picked it up with his backhand, and directly picked up the long sword in the black-clothed swordsman's hand. The hilt of the sword struck him hard in the back, and another kick in the crook of his leg finally brought the humanoid creature to its knees.

In the blink of an eye, the inter-field shì instantly reversed.

"No, it can't be!" King Qin frantically held his head and looked around, "I've been planning for a full twenty years!" Twenty years! This can't be true! I'm not going to fail, I'm not going to fail! ”

"Recognize the reality and stop struggling." Tang Yuyi sighed helplessly, and the quenched dagger in his hand was attached to his neck.

"Impossible! No way! ”

King Qin frantically looked left and right: "Who is it!" Who exactly! Where's my Pingxi Army! ”

"It's me." With a hearty laugh, Huo Yan strode in.

"Impossible! You've lost your legs! How are you okay! King Qin asked, pointing to his leg in disbelief.

"It's just a little trick for you to see, and I believe it."

Huo Yan expressed doubts about his IQ: "Have you seen my bones broken with your own eyes, and you just swear that I am crippled, is there something wrong?" ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly bared his teeth suspiciously: "Speaking of which, you dare to touch my son, hehe......"

The rest of the words are not enough.

King Qin didn't seem to be able to accept the reality in front of him, so he just looked at him blankly and repeated: "What about my Pingxi Army...... Where's my army/team! ”

Huo Yan raised his eyebrows and was about to answer, when a soldier hurriedly ran in and reported loudly: "Tell the prince that all the rebels have surrendered, including the 30,000 troops outside the city and the wild army organized by the Jianghu people, a total of 39,166 people, and Gu has been subdued. ”

Huo Yan waved his hand: "Take it down to watch it first, and wait for His Majesty to deal with it." ”

After saying that, he looked at the emperor, who was supported by the guards and looked very wolf, and pleaded guilty: "Weichen is late to save the car, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

His Majesty the Emperor shook his head: "It's okay, it's no wonder you." ”

He knew that King Qin had the intention of rebelling, and he also took countermeasures, but he didn't expect him to be so sudden, and his counterattack only came now.

However, even if King Qin planned so much, it was still in vain in the end.

The emperor looked at the depressed King Qin almost with pity, and shook his head helplessly again.

Time also, life also.

"I wonder what His Majesty is going to do with these people?" Huo Yan asked.

"King Qin and King Qin's direct family will be sent to the prison, and they will be tried again the next day, and the rest of the people will be discussed later." The Emperor covered his mouth and coughed twice, and went out with the hand of the secret guard.

"If you have anything to explain, wait two days and explain it to me."

His voice came from outside the door, and Huo Yan looked at the unconscious Su Muxian and replied helplessly.

"Yes, Wechen understands."
