Yun Tiangang saw Shen Man's grim expression, stared at the movement of the three people on the stage, clenched his fists, and said a little angrily, "My subordinates immediately sent people to protect the young master and these people." ”

"Not necessarily." Shen Man intercepted him and said slowly, "I believe that the Tang Gate Supervisor will not let it go, she must have a way." ”

Ning Tao rarely agreed, "Yes, the Tang Gate Eunuch I know is not a person who cares about the lives of the common people. She is so calm at the moment, and she has explained to Xiaoman, there must be her arrangement. ”

Jiang Qiudi raised his gaze and looked at the few people on the altar, the light in his eyes floating deep and shallow.

Shen Man observed for a while and said, "At this moment, I don't see Lian Yi and Lime beside the gate supervisor. ”

Ning Tao nodded, "The Lime Gate Supervisor is the little tail of the Tang Gate Supervisor, unless there is something extremely important, she will not easily leave the Tang Gate Supervisor's side, she is not here at this moment, she may have been arranged to go somewhere else; And Lian Yi—" He paused and looked at Yun Tiangang, "Although she has gone astray, she has been accepted by the powerful Tang Gate Eunuch, but her orders are obeyed, and now she is doing things for her." ”

"Lian Yi is a person, who dares to love and hate, and has the same temper as her master." Yun Tiangang's gaze softened, as if he remembered something a long time ago, "We also heard about her evil in Chenzhou, but we heard that she was dead before we could send someone to recall her." ”

"Master is very accurate in seeing people." Shen Man said leisurely, "She can see through everyone." ”

Ning Tao said with a smile, "You are the young master of the Five Elements Gate and the relict of the Zhou Dynasty, if the Tang Gate Supervisor knows your identity, how will it end up in the future?" ”

This time she said what Shen Man was thinking, and she paused, not knowing how to answer.

When Ning Tao saw her like this, he knew that the reason why she was unwilling to rebel before must be as Fang Cai said, Shen Man's temperament was soft, and his relationship with Tang Jiuyue was very good, if he was openly opposed, it would inevitably have a day of hostility with Tang Jiuyue.

Shen Man didn't want to come to this point.

Ning Tao figured everything out, and secretly complained that he was really stupid, how could he not figure it out for a while with such a simple truth? What stupidity!

"My father's surname was Shen before, his name was Zhou, and now I have learned his true identity, can I tell my father's real name?"

Yun Tiangang replied, "The master gave the young master's surname Shen, because the young master was short of water, so he made up for it with the words Shen and Man. Now that his identity has been restored, the young master should restore the surname Zhou. The master's name is surnamed Zhou, and the single name is a Kun character. ”

"Then Xiaoman is not called Shen Man now, but Zhou Man?" Ning Tao had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Shen Man frowned, "The name that has been called for more than ten years suddenly changed, it's very strange." She caught a glimpse of the boy still barking at the altar with his teeth and claws, and she couldn't help but walk over, and took out a candy stick as if by magic, and teased the little boy.

Ning Tao couldn't understand how he suddenly teased a doll when he said it well.

Yun Tiangang understood Shen Man's thoughts, and smiled kindly, "The young master is really kind-hearted, she is afraid that if something happens next, we will definitely defend her, she is so close to this little child, in case something happens, she can also save this little child." ”

Ning Tao disagreed, and mocked, "She is still Shen Man, not Zhou Man." ”

The wind on the altar was getting stronger and stronger, agitating several people with wide sleeved robes, Wu Niannian's skirt was fluttering, and Tang Jiuyue's hair was also fluttering in the wind.

But Wu Niannian's face gradually deteriorated, from being still ruddy and now pale to not seeing a trace of blood. Her arms trembled slightly, and there were some spasms. The Emperor clearly sensed her exhaustion, but remained silent, holding her arm so that she would not be withdrawn.

Red blood droplets fell into Ziding little by little, but Ziding, who had existed for an unknown amount of time, still did not have the slightest movement or abnormality. It was as silent as the dilapidated dead tree in front of Kongtong Temple, without any waves.

The emperor tilted his head slightly, his face was displeased, and asked Tang Jiuyue, "What's the matter?" ”

Tang Jiuyue replied respectfully, "Holy and patient." ”

Wu Niannian finally couldn't support it, his feet were weak, and he almost fell to the ground. On the waist, someone reached out and gently supported her, she looked up, and saw Tang Jiuyue's calm face, the end of her hair swept between Wu Niannian's neck, and in a flash, Wu Niannian shook her head, and secretly said that this woman has a charm that can make the same woman impressed.

Wu Niannian looked at her eyes, stunned for a moment, then bowed slightly, continued to stand up, gritted his teeth, and stiffened.

A few days ago, Taiko.

"Miss Nian, no, I should call you Concubine Duan Niangniang at this moment." Tang Jiuyue was dressed in black, wearing a cloak, and her face loomed in the dim light, "Your identity is already known to the gatekeeper, and now in order to spare your life and let you enter the palace, do you have any complaints?" ”

Wu Niannian looked cold, "What does the gate supervisor think?" ”

Lian Yi, who was dressed in a fiery red dress in the back, sneered, "Niannian, why did you bother to escape, and why did you kill people and want to blame me?" You're not bad by nature, you're a lovable child. ”

Wu Niannian smiled, laughing arrogantly, and said with tears in his eyes, "I am a puppet in the Five Elements Gate!" You don't treat me as a human being at all, you just want me to prevent disasters for your real young masters! Since I was a child, I don't know how many times I have been assassinated, how many times I have been in danger, openly robbed and secretly robbed, I have no regrets, but later I learned that I am not your young master at all, you are all lying to me and using me! ”

Lian Yi straightened up, stepped forward and grabbed her neckline, lifted her up, anger erupted in his eyes, and said word by word, "Do you think we treat you with false feelings?" She suddenly rolled up her sleeves, let Wu Niannian see the scars on it clearly, and said in a calm voice, "Look at it, this is the price I paid for saving you, how many times did the master send me out to find you, how many times did I almost lose my life for you?" It's true that they are sorry for you by hiding your identity, but you ask yourself, how do they treat you? Your master, my master, Yun Tiangang, Li Xi, Xiaoyi and others, aren't they good for you?! ”

Wu Niannian was silent, and suddenly burst into tears, choking up, "But I'm not your young master...... I don't deserve ......"

Lian Yi looked at her and his expression relaxed, "You are indeed not a young master, but we treat you as a true friend, you shouldn't be so resentful...... Master them, they really hurt you......"

"Ahem-" Tang Jiuyue almost hugged each other and cried bitterly when she saw them, so she hurriedly looked at the gap and said, "Before you exchange feelings further, I have something I want to say to Miss Wu." ”

Two girls with red eyes looked at Tang Jiuyue at the same time, Tang Jiuyue seemed a little embarrassed, but she still said cheekily, "Miss Wu, the emperor accepted you as a concubine, but he won't move you, he left you for another purpose, this prison is looking for you now, I want Miss Wu to cooperate with ...... then."

Tang Jiuyue squatted down regardless of her image as she spoke, so the two in front of her knelt and hugged each other, with red eyes. And the white-clothed Tang Gate Supervisor squatted boredly, half-tilted his head, and talked to himself for a full hour......

Altar.

Everyone was surprised to find that Ziding actually emitted a dark light faintly, and green was around the edge of Ziding. The runes on Ziding automatically faded away from the bronze rust and became clear and clear.

The Emperor's eyes lit up, and it was a look of longing. He turned his head to look at Mu Ding, but Mu Ding did not change at all. Then he instructed the priest, "Begin." ”

The priest nodded in response, hurriedly ran down the altar, and whispered to the eight leaders of the forbidden army present, some of those leaders were embarrassed, and some were calm and resolute.

Their hands were pressed against the straddle knife at their waists, apparently ready to do so.

Shen Man felt the tension around him, and heard Jiang Qiudi beside him lower his voice and said, "They're ready to slaughter." ”

Ning Tao's voice was a little cold, "Do you still believe in the Tang Gate Supervisor?" ”

Yun Tiangang was worried about Shen Man's safety, "Young master, let's go first." ”

Shen Man gritted his teeth and said firmly, "No, let's continue to stay." ”

The white figure on the altar stood still, out of place with the people under the altar. If there was a killing, what would she do?

Tang Jiuyue, it's time for you to make a choice!

"Ahh Yikes! In the crowd, a terrible scream suddenly erupted, and a fallen young woman attracted everyone's attention. Shen Man looked over there, but saw a heavily armed soldier standing next to the young woman, with a surprised expression on his face, as if he had no idea what was happening. His knife was out of his body, holding it in his hand, and the tip of the knife was still stained with red blood, and it was falling to the ground drop by drop.

The young woman fell to the ground, her hands on her neck, and her fingers were constantly bleeding, and the scene was very bloody and uncomfortable.

"Madame! Madam! A man rushed to the young woman's side, looked at the young woman's injuries, and rebuked the wounded soldier with tears in his eyes, "Why did you hurt my wife, she still has my flesh and blood in her belly, you are one corpse and two lives!" ”

The soldier was a little wooden, and he didn't understand why this was happening all of a sudden.

It was the woman who rushed up and pulled out the knife and wiped it on her neck, and then she fell to the ground, bleeding and convulsing.....

Is this woman crazy?

He looked for help, as if for help, toward the leader of the Praetorian Guard in charge of him. But he saw that the leader of the Praetorian Guard was also surrounded.

"Official, something like this is happening here, you can't leave it alone." During the push, the leader of the forbidden army felt that the knife on his waist had also been pulled out, he suddenly held it down, looked down, but saw that it was a teenager, the child smiled strangely at him, and then took the knife and wiped it on his neck, and then fell to the ground like a woman, convulsing and bleeding.

The leader of the Praetorian Guard was stunned.

"Ah, there's a murder here, too! Kill! I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and suddenly the scene exploded. People consciously avoided the Praetorian Guards around them and hugged them around.

Seeing the movement of the crowd, the emperor's face sank, and he was about to order the priest to pass the word and start immediately. But the priest, after hearing this, was tripped and rolled off the altar.

"The emperor wants to kill us all!" Someone shouted in the crowd, and the voice was heard all around, "He wants to sacrifice our lives to heaven!" ”

The crowd was silent for a moment.

Shen Man's eyes narrowed and he said, "It's started." ”

She tilted her head slightly, staring at Tang Jiuyue, but she thought again in her heart, she let people break the conspiracy and take the lead to make these people vigilant, but if she used the strength of these ordinary people to resist the heavily armed Praetorian Guards, would it be too much to hit a stone with an egg?

The emperor was puzzled by the commotion caused by the altar, but his hands were empty, and he found that Wu Niannian had been pulled away, and the person who took her away was Tang Jiuyue.

"You-" The Emperor paused, his gaze glazed over, "you want to disobey me?" ”

Tang Jiuyue helped Wu Niannian hold down the wound, her movements were extremely gentle, she looked back at the emperor fearlessly, and said coldly, "It's not that you want to, but you are disobeying the emperor." ”

"Just these Diao people?" The Emperor sneered.

Tang Jiuyue took out a silk scarf, carefully bandaged Wu Niannian, faced the emperor with her side, and said slowly, "After today, everyone in the world will know that the emperor wants to exchange the lives of your people for an ethereal longevity. ”

"Then I'll kill all the people here, so that they can't get a word out!"

Tang Jiuyue turned her face, looked at the emperor calmly, and shook her head gently, "The emperor's ruthlessness is even better than before." ”

"How can you endure it?!" The emperor stepped forward and looked at Tang Jiuyue.

Tang Jiuyue smiled lightly, "It's true that the minister can't help the emperor, but someone can." ”

The Emperor was alarmed, and heard the clash of armor in his ears, and the pace was uniform, and an army led by one man broke through the crowd and stood under the altar.

The emperor's pupils narrowed slightly, and he looked at the person who took the lead and said angrily, "It's you!" ”

"Father, you can save it by stopping it at this time." Kneeling on the altar was none other than the eldest prince Zhu Kui. He had already joined forces with Tang Jiuyue, and the weapons that Jiang Qiudi saw under the stove were the ones he ordered to be transported by car by car in a dung truck.

"Brush-" The Emperor drew his sword and placed it on Zhu Lang's shoulder, "I didn't expect you to betray me, what benefits did she give you to make you make such a move as forcing the palace?" ”

Zhu Kui raised his head, the sword on his neck had cut through the skin, and his voice was a little cold, "The benefit she gives to her son is this world." Your mistake is that you shouldn't be greedy too much, you have the world, but you want to occupy the world forever, and at the same time, you want to possess her. ”

The emperor sneered, "You are a woman, an enemy of your own father?!" ”

Zhu Kui said lightly, "Erchen, it's just for this world." ”

Tang Jiuyue walked past him lightly, letting their father and son chat here, but he walked down the steps with his hands behind his back as if no one was around. Wherever she went, people got out of the way of the way, until she stopped in front of a person.

"Xiaoman, it's time." Tang Jiuyue stretched out her hand to her and said with a smile, "Follow me." 166 Reading Network
