"Joke," Yu Chengyun shouted, "even if the old man dies under the sword, he will not grovel to you, the mediocre emperor." All the dead soldiers listened to the order, if there was any change, kill these concubines first, and everyone rushed out together, the old man was ashamed of you in this life, and he would drink and talk with you after he arrived in the underworld. ”

"Yes," the dead man looked at him firmly, and he already had a determination to die. Several concubines were so frightened that they cried out and shouted sadly, and a trace of panic and reluctance flashed in Emperor Wanlong's eyes, and he said angrily: "Yu Chengyun, you." ”

The Wuhou of the Fengwu Battalion even aimed his crossbows at the rebels, and shot the remaining soldiers when he was ordered, but the power of this crossbow was amazing, and the crown prince and several concubines would also become the souls of the arrows, and the generals would throw rats. Li Chengye saw Xiao Changhe, the commander of the Ducai standing beside Yu Chengyun, his mind was racing, and he shouted loudly: "Xiao Changhe, take down the traitor Yu Chengyun, this king pleads with the emperor and spares your whole family from dying." ”

Emperor Wanlong's eyes lit up and he said: "Xiao Changhe, I will soon take it down in Chengyun, save my concubine, I will pardon you for your innocence, no, I will reinstate you as an official." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone behind them frowned, but no one refuted. Xiao Changhe was silent, Yu Chengyun laughed and said: "Li Chengde, Li Chengde, the old man still doesn't misunderstand you, I am willing to have you, and the country will not exist." ”

"Bold!" Several people shouted in unison. Yu Chengyun sneered again and again, but did not speak.

At this time, Xiao Changhe said slowly: "Taishi, I am fortunate to have your cultivation to have today's status, since Taishi rescued Changhe from prison that year, Changhe's life has been Taishi's." After speaking, he stared at Emperor Wanlong with hatred, gritted his teeth and said: "Back then, I was just from a poor family and poorly dressed, but I only won a few princes and grandsons, and I was hated by you, not only did not let me participate in the last few battles, but also treated me for the crime of contempt of the dynasty, I was imprisoned in the prison for nearly a year, if it wasn't for the Taishi rescue, I would have become a pile of bones." Li Chengde, it was you who did the martial arts prison back then, do you remember? ”

"W-how do I remember?" Emperor Wanlong muttered.

"At that time, the Taishi did not have today's powerful position, so he could do his best for me, although Xiao was not talented, but he also knew how to be polite, righteous and honest. Taishi, Changhe is ashamed of your weight, so I will go first. After speaking, it was not the same as Chengyun to speak, took out a dagger, stabbed it into his heart, and whispered: "Taishi, in the next life, you will serve the work of dogs and horses again." ”

Yu Chengyun didn't look back, his eyes flashed, and he said to Emperor Wanlong with a little sadness: "Li Chengde, you said that the old man harmed people's lives, but have you harmed fewer people over the years?" I am in Dagan, the wind and rain, the border wars are continuous, thieves and thieves are everywhere, and you only know the wind and snow, have you ever thought about the people of Dagan? At this time, you are still thinking about your favorite concubine. ”

Emperor Wanlong was speechless, looking at the concubines who were begging hard, he really couldn't ruthlessly kill them and the rebels together. Prince Chun and King Mu glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Brother Huang, I am afraid that something will change, please give an order." ”

Emperor Wanlong closed his eyes, listened to the cry of his concubine in his ears, left two lines of tears, and was about to give the order to release the arrow, when suddenly a voice came from behind him: "Yu Chengyun." ”

Emperor Wanlong hurriedly opened his eyes, overjoyed, and turned his head to see that it was the ghost-faced man on the prayer platform.

The surrounding soldiers automatically separated a road for the ghost-faced man, and when he passed by Emperor Wanlong, Prince Chun, who was covered in blood, frowned slightly, and the ghost-faced man walked to Yu Chengyun and stood still, looking at Yu Chengyun quietly, Xiao Baisheng was about to step forward to protect, but was stopped by Emperor Wanlong, so he heard the ghost-faced man say coldly: "Yu Chengyun, you are defeated today." ”

Yu Chengyun's eyes shot a terrifying fierce light, and he said hatefully: "Is it you who is giving advice to Li Chengde behind your back?" ”

"Sort of," the ghost-faced man said a little tiredly, and Prince Chun was shocked, but he felt that the tone seemed particularly familiar.

"Okay, good," Yu Chengyun said a few good words on his face, and said coldly: "If you want the old man to let these concubines go, it's better to save some tongue." ”

The ghost-faced man slowly raised his head and said, "Yu Chengyun, you are good at calculation and know how to make trade-offs. You look back at these concubines, crying bitterly, they are not as dignified as Empress Rong, what do you want to exchange them for? Is it in exchange for your dead body, or in exchange for your children to be slaves and prostitutes forever, or can I break their legs and feet and let them scold you every day in the downtown and make people laugh? Or feed your flesh to the elders and children of your clan? Thinking about it, not everyone can think as openly as you do, not afraid of death, someone will eat your flesh and drink your blood, and then change someone else's after eating, maybe it's Xiuxuan's turn. The Taishi Mansion has a great cause, but I don't know which one the Taishi is distressed about? ”

Except for the hard-hearted people, everyone present took a breath of cool air, and they were all shocked, and there was no sound in the field for a while, coupled with the gloomy Da Luo's grimace, even the crying women were also shocked to stop their voices. Yu Chengyun shuddered all over his body, and said in a trembling voice: "What a ruthless heart, the old man should also want to get it, Lord Situ and the palace guards, you can kill if you want, in terms of cruelty, the old man is not as good as you." ”

"Master Tai is good at attacking and calculating, far better than me, if it is not for the sudden attack, it is difficult to predict who will win and who will lose. It's just," the ghost-faced man paused, and continued: "Taishi, you have kept the crown prince and queen and a few concubines, and you have never killed them, and you already have luck in your heart, and you have not stopped General Xiao from committing suicide, that is, to make us feel that you have made up your mind to break the net." Yu Taishi, you are also a generation of heroes, don't let me despise you, I promise you, the ancestral hall in the Yu clan is still there, except for those involved in this matter, the other Yu clan people were exiled to the northern Xinjiang, after raiding the house, I will ask the emperor for permission, scatter some money and food, enough for the rest of your people's lives, if the people of the Yu family do not plot to rebel against the enemy, I will protect him for the rest of his life. After speaking, he looked at Yu Chengyun quietly.

Yu Chengyun's face changed several times, and finally sighed: "Whatever you want." It's just that the dead soldiers under my command, please let them go together, and I will exchange them for the treasure trove of gold and silver weapons that I have secretly collected over the years. ”

The ghost-faced man was silent and stood sideways.

Emperor Wanlong hurriedly said: "Okay, I'm ready." ”

"Put away your blades and let them pass." Yu Chengyun said. The dead man removed his weapon, several concubines supported each other, staggered over, the prince also stood up, rushed to the Wanlong Emperor, when passing the queen, Empress Rong just wanted to open his mouth to call, but saw the prince's face frightened, his hair was scattered, he had long lost the grace of the past, his heart was soft, and he did not speak again.

After the concubines passed, they gathered around Emperor Wanlong, crying, but Emperor Wanlong persuaded him warmly on the side, Yu Chengyun sighed when he saw it, and said: "Li Chengde, I am not as good as your life." ”

Li Xuanci shouted: "Shameless traitor, he doesn't know how to repent when he dies." ”

Yu Chengyun didn't care, turned to the ghost-faced man and said, "I have one last thing to ask for." ”

The ghost-faced man didn't speak, stayed for a while, slowly took off the mask, and a delicate face appeared in front of everyone, except for Emperor Wanlong, Xiao Baisheng, King Mu and the Seventh Prince, who had already known in advance, the rest of the people all exclaimed, Yu Chengyun was even more stunned on the spot, the ghost-faced man turned his head, walked a few steps towards Li Chengye, knelt down and said, "Father." ”

When the ghost-faced man began to speak, Prince Chun felt that the voice was familiar, but he was not sure, and when the ghost-faced man took off the mask and saw the side face clearly, Prince Chun's ears suddenly buzzed, and if there was a Huanglu bell in his head, his eyes were dark, and he couldn't see anything clearly when he called his father, and after a while, Prince Chun spit out with difficulty: "Li Luo!" ”

On the same day, Li Luo competed with Yu Xiuxuan on Jinsilkworm Street in the west of the city, and heard Yu Xiuxuan say that he would kneel down and beg him within three months, and then heard from Zhang Zeliu that the Taishi had been privately spreading the holy oracle recently, and mobilized grain and grass through the Tomb Zaifu, so he guessed that Yu Chengyun was plotting against him, and then entered the palace and went to Wanshou Palace to find the Queen Mother and inform everything.

Among the grandchildren, Li Luo is the most loved by the Queen Mother, and since he was a child, Li Luo has always talked to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also knows about the practice of martial arts with Duanmu Shenzhou. Since Luo'er's death, Li Luo's heart is miserable and wanton indulgence, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's constant relief, Li Luo would have lost his mind long ago.

The Queen Mother was amazed by Li Luo's talent and learning, so she was able to say Li Luo's useful words for Emperor Wanlong, and when she heard Li Luo's plan, she immediately agreed, and secretly summoned Emperor Wanlong to discuss together. Emperor Wanlong was quite surprised at the beginning, but he trusted the Queen Mother since he was a child, and he loved Li Luo a lot, so he didn't think too much about it, and he was relieved to recruit Xiao Baisheng to act according to the plan.

Yu Chengyun calmed down, looked at Li Chengye and said, "You gave birth to a good son." ”

Li Chengye hadn't woken up from the shock yet, just looked at Li Luo, who was covered in blood, and didn't know what to say or what to do.

Yu Chengyun sighed, looked at Queen Rong, and stopped talking, Empress Rong smiled slightly: "Brother, I don't want this ending today, all these years, I am to blame, if it weren't for my convenience with you everywhere, you wouldn't have such a big ambition, so far, let my sister accompany you for the end." ”

Yu Chengyun's lips moved, and he said in a low voice: "Shiyun." The latter words were not spoken.

Empress Rong said to Li Luo: "I used to see that you were smart, but your heart was kind, but when I saw you today, I let go of the heart of this palace." The emperor believes in you, don't let the emperor down. Xuan Yi is your eldest brother, he doesn't know about this, if the prince can't be in the future, let him be an ordinary person in the future, this is a matter of the palace begging you, can you respond? ”

Li Luo looked at Empress Rong, then at Emperor Wanlong, and then said, "Okay, I should." ”

Empress Rong smiled: "You were born in this imperial family, but you are an outlier. He said to Emperor Wanlong: "Your Majesty, I have taken care of you, take care of Yi'er." ”

Emperor Wanlong couldn't bear to say: "Wan'er, I don't blame you, it's all your brother's bewitchment, come back, I will treat you as before." ”

Empress Rong smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, it's too late, forgive the Yu family's crime of extermination, someone has to die instead, otherwise how can the soldiers who died in vain be blind." As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, and finally slowly fell, Yu Chengyun let out a sad cry, hugged Queen Rong, and finally couldn't help shedding tears: "Shiyun, it's the eldest brother who is wrong, it's the eldest brother who is wrong." ”

The king waved his hand slightly, and the soldiers stepped forward to set up in Chengyun, and the rest of the dead soldiers were surrounded by a group, all of them put their knives back to their sheaths, closed their eyes and waited for death. Emperor Wanlong sighed and said, "Imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison." ”

Yu Chengyun was taken down, and there were only a few dozen dead soldiers left in the field, standing alone surrounded by the army. Emperor Wanlong looked at Li Luo and said, "It's up to you to deal with it." ”

Li Luo was stunned for a moment, turned around, and said slowly: "Kill." ”

There was a sound of noise and a buzz, and then it stopped again, and when I looked back, there was no dead man standing. Li Luo took two steps forward, and suddenly felt dizzy, as if Emperor Wanlong was saying something, but he couldn't hear it at all, he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, and faintly heard an exclamation in his ears, his eyes were dark, and he lost consciousness.
