"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Xu Lishan stood in front of Xiao Yanzhi, drew the sword at his waist and put on a defensive posture, "Who gave you the courage to trespass into the Liangyi Palace?" Get out of here for the king! ”

Compared with Xu Lishan's anger, Xiao Yanzhi's attitude can be called calm, but when a person who always exudes a gentle aura with a smile on his face suddenly becomes silent and sharp, his knife-like eyes can also make people tremble.

Xiao Yanzhi stared at the general, and then asked coldly, "You are Xu Liqian's second card?" ”

The general snorted coldly, did not answer Xiao Yanzhi's question, only waved his hand and shouted: "Take them down!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers who followed the general immediately marched into the imperial study with their spears in hand, but suddenly a large number of tiles fell overhead, and they retreated in shock.

Xu Ren led three people to jump from the roof, and five other guards who secretly protected the emperor fell steadily. At the same time, there was a sound of shouting and shouting from outside the imperial study, and it was the rest of the people who came to protect Xiao Yanzhi and the emperor who were fighting with the people on the left and right outside, about twenty or so people.

Xiao Yanzhi looked left and right for a while, and then saw a pair of bows and arrows hanging on the wall by the emperor.

Staring at the bow and arrow, Xiao Yanzhi patted Xu Lishan's shoulder and said, "Jump out of the window and go to Xuanwumen Urn City to find Jiang Shan." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yanzhi turned around and took down the bow and arrow on the wall, and said coldly to the frightened imperial doctors: "The matter here has nothing to do with you, do what you should do, whether you want to go out alive or die and go out again, you decide for yourself." ”

The imperial doctors were stunned, and then looked at each other, and then looked at Xiao Yanzhi, who had already begun to draw bows and arrows, and began to treat the emperor again.

Xu Lishan didn't listen to Xiao Yanzhi's words and left immediately, but looked at Xiao Yanzhi with a worried face: "Brother Huang, I'll stay here, you go and move the rescuers." ”

Xiao Yanzhi turned his eyes to Xu Lishan and smiled, and asked, "Have you forgotten that I still have an injury on my leg?" ”

Xu Lishan was stunned for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Then the imperial brother is waiting for me!" Hold on! ”

Before the words fell, Xu Lishan jumped onto the couch where the emperor was lying, and he didn't care if it was a crime, so he raised his foot and kicked open the window behind the couch and jumped out.

Xu Ren raised his hand and wiped the tip of his nose, and then said to Xiao Yanzhi with his arms and sleeves uncovered: "Lord Wang, give the order." ”

Xiao Yanzhi sneered and said, "Those who trespass on the Liangyi Hall will be killed!" ”

The captain of the emperor's personal guard blinked, turned his head and asked Xiao Yanzhi: "Lord Wang, don't you leave a living mouth?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at the general with disdain and said, "Do you think you can ask anything from his mouth?" ”

He now wants to know who ordered the medicine in the emperor's tea, and if the imperial doctor didn't finish speaking, he was afraid that he would say that this medicine could cause the emperor's heart disease, in other words, the person who gave the medicine must have known that the emperor had a heart disease, but who else did this insider except the imperial doctor of the imperial doctor's office, he, Xu Lishan, Pei Ze, Zhao Kang and the emperor himself?

Hearing Xiao Yanzhi's words, the captain of the emperor's personal guard and Xu Ren glanced at each other, and then the two of them drew their swords and copied their chairs, and they all launched an attack on the left and right guards.

Xiao Yanzhi hesitated for a long time with his bow and arrow, but still let go of the hand pulling the string, and the sharp arrow came out of the string and pierced into the head of a mighty soldier impartially.

Seeing that the man's head was pierced by a sharp arrow and then fell to the ground with a bang, Xu Ren turned his head to look at Xiao Yanzhi in shock.

The archery skills of the King of Shu are so good?

Xiao Yanzhi's gaze was still focused on the fallen man, specifically staring at the blood gushing out of the man's arrow-stuck head.

Xu Ren almost immediately sensed that Xiao Yanzhi was wrong, and hurriedly took a step sideways to cut off Xiao Yanzhi's line of sight.

"Please stand there and don't move, your subordinates will not let them get close to the prince."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Ren's words were finished, someone broke through the defense line outside the house, broke through the window, and happened to appear beside Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi took out an arrow from the quiver and inserted it with his backhand, no matter where the arrow was □□ the person, he followed up and kicked the person out again.

"Xu Ren, you better concentrate."

“…… Be. Xu Ren turned around and walked back, and then angrily jumped out of the broken window, "Damn, what window do you jump out of if you don't go through the door?" If you smash the window of the study, you are ready to take your life to accompany you! ”

Xiao Yanzhi took a deep breath and stood still in his place, just vigilant at all times, as long as an enemy came out from any direction, Xiao Yanzhi would immediately give him an arrow, and the arrow could accurately pierce the opponent's head.

However, compared to the number of people dispatched by the left and right guards, the people on their side are still too small, and when both sides are only left with masters to fight each other, the situation is deadlocked, and the especially disadvantageous thing is that the masters in the left and right guards are obviously more than the number of people on their side, and there are few arrows left in the quiver.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head and asked the imperial doctors, "How is the situation of my father?" ”

When the imperial doctors heard this, they wiped their cold sweat and said without confidence: "The ministers must do their best!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Yanzhi's heart sank, and then looked at the emperor's gray face, Xiao Yanzhi gritted his teeth and stood upright.

"Lord Wang! Please leave the royal study! Xu Ren suddenly retreated to the imperial study, looking a little wolf because of a few more blood marks on his body.

Although it is not impossible to win, Xu Ren wants to ensure that Xiao Yanzhi is 100% safe.

"I won't leave," the emperor is still lying here, where do you want him to go? "Just hold on until the King of Qi comes."

Xu Ren stared at Xiao Yanzhi, hesitated again and again before asking, "If ...... What if the king of Qi doesn't come? ”

Although there were people who went to the sixteen guards to move the rescue troops just now, from the distance point of view, if Jiang Shan's Yulin guards were too late to rescue them, then the other sixteen guards would also be too late. But isn't this a great opportunity to eliminate all political opponents?

Xiao Yan was stunned, and then smiled, laughing for the first time in the day.

"If you don't come, you won't come." As he spoke, Xiao Yanzhi dragged the wheelchair in front of the emperor and several imperial doctors, and then sat down on it steadily, "If you can't hold on, you can go." ”

Xu Ren was speechless: "Does the prince want us to kill his subordinates?" The subordinates understand how our prince can look at you with the prince, and you are all the same kind of people in your bones! ”

I still remember that when they followed their prince around to fight, their prince was also like this, the more critical the moment, the more relaxed he looked, saying that he looked like he had given up on himself, and it seemed right to say that he was winning, so that people couldn't figure it out.

"Really?" Xiao Yanzhi tilted his head and smiled, "It's good to know about this at this time." Thank you. ”

Xu Ren rolled his eyes at the sky and said, "If the prince can think about the way to break the siege, then his subordinates will definitely kneel down and thank the prince!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Ren rushed out again.

The sound of killing outside did not stop for a moment, but Xiao Yanzhi could hear that the imperial doctors behind him gradually held their breath, as if they did not dare to make a sound.

Xiao Yanzhi's hands on the armrests of the wheelchair couldn't stop trembling, even if he clenched his fists, he couldn't stop the trembling.

He knew what the Imperial Doctors were holding their breath for, and he wanted to turn his head and ask for confirmation, but he didn't dare.

A bloody man suddenly jumped in from the window next to the couch, and his murderous appearance frightened the doctors to suddenly cry out in panic, and fled from the couch with a crawling floor.

"King Shu, I'm really sorry!" The general jumped down from the step, raised the knife in his hand and slashed at Xiao Yanzhi's head.

However, Xiao Yanzhi was still motionless in a wheelchair.

"Lord Wang!"

"Your Highness!"

In the midst of everyone's exclamations, a sharp arrow burst through the air, pierced through the general's heart with great force, continued forward with blood, and finally nailed to the opposite window frame with a thud.

"Brother Huang!" Xu Lishan ran out from behind Jiang Shan, climbed through the window again and entered the imperial study, grabbed Xiao Yanzhi's shoulder and pulled the person over, but the moment he saw Xiao Yanzhi's expression, the whole person froze.

Xu Lishan stiffened and didn't dare to look back at the motionless emperor on the couch, only asked Xiao Yanzhi in a trembling voice: "Brother Huang, you, why are you crying?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi slowly raised his head to look at Xu Lishan, and raised a smile, as if he didn't notice the tears on his face, and he didn't hear Xu Lishan's question.

"Brother Huang, I'll leave it to you and Jiang Shan here."

"Brother Huang, what are you going to do?" Xiao Yanzhi's smile was too bright, and his voice was too steady, especially the tears that poured out of his eyes never stopped, which made Xu Lishan a little scared.

"Don't do anything," Xiao Yanzhi still laughed and cried, "I'll go back as soon as I go, since Jiang Shan is here with Yu Linwei, there is nothing to be afraid of the left and right Weiwei, for the time being, you will be in charge of the sixteen guards, except for Jin Wuwei's people who patrol around as usual, the rest of the people will find an excuse to arrange with Yu Linwei, so as not to have such a situation as the left and right Weiwei, and then ...... Let's arrange my father's affairs. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yanzhi stood up, shouted Xu Ren, and then raised his feet and walked towards the door of the imperial study.

"Wait!" Xu Lishan grabbed Xiao Yanzhi's arm, "It's enough to have Jiang Shan here, I'll go with you where the imperial brother is going." ”

"No need," Xiao Yanzhi smiled indifferently, "It's enough for you to bring Jiang Shan back, and then, you can do what those benevolent emperors should do, and leave the rest to me." ”

He is not finished with Xu Liqian!

Xu Lishan still didn't dare to let go.

"Good," Xiao Yanzhi smiled again, "I'm just going to see a woman, and I won't go to anyone to fight hard for the time being." ”

Woman? Are you going to see Concubine Yun Shu?

Xu Lishan looked at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously: "Brother Huang, you have to promise that you won't let yourself be in danger, Brother Pei definitely doesn't want to see Brother Huang being harmed." ”

At this time, Xu Lishan also had to move out of Pei Ze, so that Xiao Yanzhi had some scruples.

He will also feel sad about his father's death, but he is still different from Xiao Yanzhi in the end, although they are both the sons of his father, although he has stayed by his father's side longer than Xiao Yanzhi, but Xiao Yanzhi and his father are really father and son, and there is still a layer of estrangement between him and his father, so he is afraid of Xiao Yanzhi's bland reaction.

Xiao Yanzhi's eyes flashed, and then he nodded: "I know, don't worry." ”

"That'...... Then go with the royal brother. Xu Lishan finally let go of Xiao Yanzhi's hand, and then raised his voice and instructed Xu Rendao, "Xu Ren, take your people to protect the King of Shu." ”

"Yes!" Xu Ren answered, and then led a dozen people with him into the harem behind Xiao Yanzhi.

In front of the Ganlu Gate leading from the Middle Dynasty to the harem, Jiang Wan was standing there quietly, and when he saw Xiao Yanzhi leading a group of people to come over menacingly, Jiang Wan immediately hurried up to greet him.

"Your Highness, how is the situation with Your Majesty? What about Shan'er? ”

Xiao Yanzhi looked at Jiang Wan and said, "Concubine Jiang Guifei should go back to Ziwei Palace." ”

Xu Liqian probably only got the help of the left and right Weiwei, so he only let the left and right Weiwei go straight to the Liangyi Palace, probably wanting to kill him and Xu Lishan by surprise after poisoning the emperor, and then be able to control the entire palace, so in this huge palace, only the Liangyi Palace is in chaos, and the place next to it is quiet, those palace maids and eunuchs probably heard the wind and ran away, and I don't know how many people are left in the lively harem on weekdays.

But if he ran away, he ran away, and now he has no time to care about these things, it is better than staying in the palace and becoming Xu Liqian's trick.

Shocked by Xiao Yanzhi's indifference, Jiang Wan guessed that the situation in the Liangyi Hall would probably not be too good: "Your Highness, where are you going?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi's eyes turned two points colder, and said, "This shouldn't be what Jiang Guifei asked." ”

When the words fell, Xiao Yanzhi strode away as soon as he made a mistake, and Xu Ren and the others didn't pay attention to Jiang Wan, but only followed Xiao Yanzhi firmly.

There was a faint pain somewhere in the calf, probably because of the bone that had not grown well by walking around too much, but this pain was the best awakening agent for Xiao Yanzhi at this time.

Pushing open the door of Zhaoqing Palace, Xiao Yanzhi strode towards Concubine Yun Shu, who was sitting in the courtyard embroidering, and then grabbed Concubine Yun Shu's neck without warning and lifted the person up.

"Where is Xu Liqian?"

Concubine Yun Shufei's face turned pale in an instant when she was frightened, and the feeling that her feet couldn't touch the ground made Concubine Yun Shufei panic.

"I—I don't know!"

Since she was imprisoned here by His Majesty, she has never been in contact with Qian'er again, I heard that Qian'er escaped from Chang'an, what did she do at this time to anger His Highness?

"You don't know?" Xiao Yanzhi glared at Concubine Yun Shu viciously, "You are the mother concubine who helped him plan a great cause, such a smart and capable Neiying, will he let it go?" I don't like to be rough with women, let's say it quickly, where is Xu Liqian?! ”

"I ...... Cough...... I really don't know anything! Zhao and Zhaoqing Hall are all surrounded by people from His Majesty's personal guards...... I...... I don't know ......."

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said coldly: "Then there is no way." Xu Ren, tie up this woman and hang it on the tower of the Suzaku Gate! ”

"Huh?" Xu Ren was stunned for a moment, and smoothed out Xiao Yanzhi's words again before he understood the content of these words, and responded with surprise, "Yes!" Hurry up, you guys! ”

Hang people on the towers? Although the daily sun in this season is not as hot as in midsummer, it must not be able to stand it if it is roasted for three or four hours, let alone a delicate woman. Sure enough, it is terrible to look at gentle people on weekdays once they start a fire, and even they may not be able to immediately remember to use such a torturous method.

Concubine Yun Shufei was stunned, and only came back to her senses when her hand was twisted behind her, and exclaimed, "You, why do you deal with me?!" Is there an order from His Majesty? What about the oracle? What about the Holy Decree? I want to see Your Majesty! ”

Hearing Concubine Yun Shu's mention of the emperor, Xiao Yanzhi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a low voice: "You will probably be able to see your father soon." Take! ”

Xiao Yanzhi and Xu Ren came to the southernmost Suzaku Gate of the palace, and after climbing the tower together, they watched Xu Ren and the others erect the wooden frame with their hands and feet, and then hung up Concubine Yun Shu.

"Xiao Yanzhi! Xiao Yanzhi, you can't do this to me! Let go of me! Concubine Yun Shu, who was hanging in the air, shouted hoarsely.

Xiao Yanzhi stood aside with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "Then Concubine Yun Shu came to sue me, how should I deal with the mother who killed my father and enemy?" ”

"You kill ......" Concubine Yun Shu was stunned and looked at Xiao Yanzhi dumbfounded, "You...... What did you say? ”

Xiao Yanzhi looked away, looked at the straight Vermilion Bird Street, and said, "You still have to wait to ask your son about this matter!" ”

Xiao Yanzhi said to Xu Ren beside him: "Arrange for people to stay here, but anyone who is not Xu Liqian will be killed on the spot." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Xu Ren couldn't help but straighten his waist.

Standing on the city tower and looking out for a long time, Xiao Yanzhi turned around and walked back: "Go and see how the situation is on King Qi's side." ”

"Yes!" Arranged five people to guard the city tower, Xu Ren took the rest of the people to follow closely behind Xiao Yanzhi, after walking halfway through the stone steps of the city tower, Xu Ren suddenly looked down at Xiao Yanzhi's calf, and then said, "Lord Wang, you need to ...... Do you need a subordinate to carry you? ”

"No, I don't." Xiao Yanzhi refused without thinking.

"But your legs ...... lord," why did he look at the blood on the side of the King of Shu's clothes?

"It's okay," Xiao Yanzhi said in a low voice, "It hurts a little in my leg, and it doesn't hurt so much in other places." ”

Xu Ren blinked blankly.

What does the King of Shu mean by this? Elsewhere? Does the King of Shu have any other places that hurt?

When Xiao Yanzhi led people back to the Liangyi Palace, the hundreds of people who were on the left and right had all turned into corpses and fell to the ground of the Liangyi Palace, and the blood gushing out of these bodies stained the stone floor of the Liangyi Palace.

"Brother Huang!" Seeing Xiao Yanzhi appear, Xu Lishan hurriedly greeted him, "Why did the imperial brother go for so long?" Are you okay? ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled, and asked instead of answering, "How are things arranged?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi didn't want to say anything, Xu Lishan didn't ask anymore, and directly answered Xiao Yanzhi's question: "The affairs of the Sixteen Guards have been arranged, Jiang Shan has already taken the token to transfer people, but his father is ...... I'm wondering if I'm hiding it from Xu Liqian. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi took a deep breath, then raised his feet and slowly walked into the imperial study.

In the imperial study, the emperor was still lying on the couch by the window, perhaps because the situation was chaotic, Zhao Kang couldn't find anything else, so he found a white cloak that the emperor left in the imperial study and covered the emperor.

Xiao Yanzhi's footsteps slowed down a little, slowly approached the couch, and then sat sideways on the couch, raising his hand to lift the cloak to see the emperor's face, but after lifting his hand for a long time, he still put it down again.

"Lord Zhao, does my father have a will to stay?"

"Yes."

Zhao Kang wiped away the tears on his face, moved a chair under a certain beam, and then stood on the chair, still holding a long wooden stick in his hand, and finally got down the rectangular wooden box hidden on the beam.

After getting off the chair, Zhao Kang picked up the wooden box and handed it to Xiao Yanzhi.

"His Majesty's will has been written early, long ago." As he spoke, Zhao Kang began to cry again.

Xiao Yanzhi took the wooden box and opened it calmly, only to find that there were two holy decrees inside. After Xiao Yanzhi opened the two holy decrees and read them through, he threw them to Xu Lishan.

Xu Lishan also opened the two holy decrees to take a look, one of them was the holy decree of succession, and the throne was naturally passed to Xu Lishan, but the second holy decree was beyond Xu Lishan's expectations, and it was to demote Xiao Yanzhi to a civilian holy decree.

Xu Lishan looked incredulous.

"How could my father ......?"

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Father understands me." Lord Zhao, let people ring the bell. Ming'er's early reading of the decree of succession had to make Xu Liqian more anxious, and I wanted to finish this battle before my father's funeral. ”

Xu Lishan clenched the two holy decrees in his hand, nodded and said, "Okay, let's end this qiē before the funeral of our father." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Lishan said again: "Brother Huang, I will arrange the affairs in the palace with Jiang Shan, do you want to go back to the Wucheng Mansion to rest first?" The royal brother's leg is injured ......"

As soon as the news of the death of the emperor spread, the palace should be in chaos, except for strengthening the defense to protect the safety of the jade seal and their own lives, they have nothing else to do, and there is no need to even investigate the spies. As for the daily government affairs of the various government offices, I can't take care of it, I don't know who will be able to ascend the throne alive in the end, and what government affairs will be in charge!

Xiao Yanzhi looked down at his legs when he heard this, and then found that there was a little blood stain on the corner of his clothes.

Looking at the emperor on the couch again, Xiao Yanzhi sighed: "Then I'll go back to the Wucheng Palace." ”

He didn't really want to stay with the emperor who couldn't speak.

didn't dare to let Xiao Yanzhi walk more, and was afraid that walking too slowly would cause extraneous branches along the way, Xu Ren finally carried Xiao Yanzhi's cornices to the wall, accompanied by the funeral bell back to the Wucheng Palace, and when the group fell directly from the sky into the front yard, they were also frightened that the guards showed their weapons.

"Tsk! What do you do with long eyes? Put away all your weapons! "Inexplicably there was a fight in the palace, and Xu Ren now has a headache when he sees a weapon.

When Donggui came out from inside, he saw the blood stains on Xu Ren and the others from a distance, and his heart suddenly sank, but when he walked in front of Xu Ren, he asked in a low voice: "Something happened in the palace?" The bell ...... It's true? ”

Xu Ren replied in a low voice: "Nonsense, who dares to knock on a fake?" ”

Donggui hurriedly went to see Xiao Yanzhi's face, but he couldn't see the grief on Xiao Yanzhi's face.

Xiao Chunyue also ran out of it, didn't say a word, rushed to Xiao Yanzhi and opened her arms to hug Xiao Yanzhi tightly.

She didn't actually understand the bell, but she wondered what bell was ringing at noon, and only after asking Donggui did she know that it was a bell for the emperor's funeral. And the emperor is Yanzhi's biological father, and if his biological father dies, Yanyi must be sad, right?

Xiao Yanzhi was stunned and asked with a smile, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

But before the words fell, the tears fell defenselessly, and the indifferent voice instantly became choked.

Xiao Yanzhi slowly stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Chunyue back, burying his face so that people couldn't see his expression clearly, but the irrepressible dull cry still came out intermittently, making people feel distressed to listen to.

In the front yard of King Wucheng's mansion, there was no sound except for the seemingly nonexistent cry.
