Chapter 124: A Warm Farewell, a Withered Rose
Xuchang City is really in a hurry for Bianliang, and it is also in a hurry to go.
The first time I came, I didn't eat, the second time I came, I didn't stay overnight, and the third time was only two nights.
However, unlike the previous two times, this time not only did he not go on the road alone, but a group of people came to see him off at the door.
This surprised him, and at the same time he was very dissatisfied with the people, and his whereabouts were leaked again.
"Thank you, friends." He hugged his fists and said goodbye to everyone, especially Duan Qilang, who sent the flower god and the flower fairy to his house early in the morning, which made him feel particularly comforted, because Xue Liuguang and Tang Shuai were still waiting for treatment.
Speaking of Tang Shuai, he was also very moved, and gave him a lot of hidden weapons before leaving, especially the chili bomb, which is said to have just been made early this morning.
As for Du Shiqing, this teacher insisted on entering the palace with him, which made him very embarrassed.
The opponents are all streamers, and the teacher is a benevolent person, and it is said that he never kills, so isn't that going to die?
Bianliang said that he couldn't persuade him to retreat, and in the end, it was Zhao Xiangyi who helped him to persuade him.
The most angry is Uncle Jiu, that guy didn't come to see him off at all, but seemed to have come to ridicule himself.
She said: Last time, Zhan Qingfeng in Xinye City was not killed, and later he retaliated and killed many rescued girls, and finally Yue Yage couldn't stand it anymore, so he got rid of the harm for the people.
After Uncle Nine finished speaking, he was still angry, and coldly made up two knives: The next time the young master does good, remember to eliminate the evil, if you are not so careful, it is better not to save it.
Bianliang was angry when he heard it, but he was more angry with himself.
He knew in his heart that he was not careful, and he did kill a lot of people, and he could hear it, Uncle Jiu's words were actually aimed at the emperor, but the emperor was his father-in-law, and everyone in the world knew about it, how did he kill it!
Fortunately, there is still the warmth of the Bian family!
Bian'an drew a pair of good luck charms for him, saying that as long as he brought it with him, he would always have good luck, and the old lady did not come in person, but told Sun Ke to pass the word lightly, so that the eldest young master must ensure safety.
Of course, safety must be guaranteed, and this time he also brought two wives who are like flowers.
The carriage went on and on, and the road went smoothly, without robbers or bandits.
It's not because of how good the city security is on the side of the road, but because the groom pulled a big banner and wrote the word Li Changsheng on it.
Li Changsheng went out, who would dare to disturb him!
。。。。。。
In the palace of Lincheng, Emperor Zhao Jian stood quietly in front of the dragon chair.
Today he was dressed in a particularly dignified manner, just like he had when he first sat on the dragon chair, from the crown to the soles of his shoes, everything was new.
But it's just that it's just the same dress, and the Qianguang Hall has long been different.
Zhan Song, who was standing beside him at the beginning, and the golden helmet guards who filled the hall were no longer there.
In today's Qianguang Palace, except for the emperor and the child in his arms, there is no third person.
Because he was going to do a big thing today, and he didn't want others to know about it, he drove everyone out of the Qianguang Palace, including the eunuchs and guards.
Almost, it's time to come, the emperor pressed a few times on the dragon chair, and the pit under the dragon chair was exposed again, and he called in a low voice, "Streamer array." ”
The meaning of the streamer array is that all the streamer guards must be on standby to attack, and this kind of order is not only the first time for him, but even in the history of the Southern Dynasty, it is also the first time.
This also means that the emperor's road and the road of the Southern Dynasty have been exhausted.
Five black shadows stood neatly behind the emperor, there was no expression on their faces, and the years of underground life had made them forget their joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
What they have is just loyalty, loyalty to the Southern Dynasty, loyalty to the emperor.
The emperor looked at them with satisfaction, and put the dragon chair back in its original position, "In today's battle, no matter whether it is successful or not, the emperor and others can leave the palace." ”
This is the emperor's promise, and you have no jokes.
The expressions on the faces of the five people were still stiff, but their hearts were burning, and the years of darkness had made them more eager for freedom than anyone else.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair with the child in his arms, which was his usual method.
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.
However, this time, even if they won, they will not survive.
If Li Changsheng starts to go crazy, the Qianguang Hall will not leave a single living mouth.
Fortunately, he has someone on his hand who can't make him crazy.
The Emperor heard footsteps, but he didn't care, just stretched out a hand and teased the child in his arms.
The door was slammed open, and the first to come was the stone lion in front of the palace gate, who was being held in his hand by Bianliang at the moment, he glanced at the emperor and the black-clothed man behind him, and turned the stone lion in his hand twice.
"Your Majesty, guess how many I can kill at once." This time, he came prepared, but he didn't plan to just fight the sword, he also wanted to fight his strength.
The emperor didn't pay attention to him, but said to himself, "Qi Jun, the emperor's grandfather is here, don't be afraid." ”
When Bianliang heard this, his head immediately became bigger.
This kid is the crown prince, that is, his nominal son.
He looked at Zhao Xiangyi and saw her nodding, so he had no choice but to throw the stone lion to the ground, "You are too ruthless." He said helplessly.
Who knew that when the emperor heard his words, he actually laughed "hahaha".
"If I were ruthless enough, I should have killed the Li family a long time ago, instead of letting them go to Xiangyang, and if I was ruthless enough, I should have killed you in the palace a long time ago, instead of ambushing Jiangling."
He laughed very desolately, so desolate that Zhao Xiangyi lowered her head when she heard it, because she knew why her father did this, and she also knew that her father regretted it now.
As if seeing through his daughter's thoughts, the emperor said coldly, "I don't kill you, it's for the Zhao family, but not because you are my son-in-law." ”
Speaking of this, he regained the majesty of the emperor, and his voice seemed calm and irresistible, "Now, I want to kill you, and it is also for the sake of the Zhao family, what else do you have to say." ”
As an emperor, he never needed to speak loudly, because every word he said was a holy decree, and others could only carry it out to the letter.
Bian Liang looked at him, and a passage came to his mind, "A person, if he has no relatives, even if he has the world, he will not be happy, and if a person is unhappy, what use do you want this country to have." ”
When the emperor heard this, his heart suddenly fluctuated, and he thought of Zhanying, his wife, who died in this Qianguang Palace, died under the streamer sword, and she was desperate for his hegemony.
He still remembers Zhan Ying's words before he died, not for him, but for Zhan Song, he is your brother-in-law.
Over the years, no matter how difficult things have been, and no matter how reluctant Zhan Song is, as long as he says this, Zhan Song will not hesitate to do it, including this trip to Beihai.
He still remembered what Zhan Song said before leaving, you are her father.
The emperor originally thought that Zhan Ying's words were just for Zhan Song, but now after listening to Bianliang's words, he suddenly thought that relatives are mutual, Zhan Ying not only asked Zhan Song to take care of him, she also hoped that his brother-in-law could take care of his younger brother.
However, for so many years, even if Zhan Song broke his arm, he did not feel the slightest guilt, and he still kept squeezing Zhan Song as before until he died.
I am her father, and the emperor's heart aches at the thought of this, because his daughter is standing opposite him with a sword.
Thinking of this, the emperor beckoned to Zhao Xiangyi, "My relatives are all here, no matter what happens next, I hope that your mother and son can live a safe life." ”
Zhao Xiangyi looked at the emperor and shook her head resolutely, "Father, I came today, and I will never allow anyone to hurt you, but I will not let anyone hurt my husband, unless... She turned her head to look at Bianliang and said resolutely, "Unless I die." ”
Bianliang's heart sank suddenly, compared to the five black-clothed people, the emperor is much easier to kill, if it is really a last resort, he will definitely capture the thief and capture the king first, but Zhao Xiangyi said this, how did he do it.
Bian Liang couldn't bear to look at her sad gaze, and nodded silently, signaling her to be relieved.
When the emperor saw it, he also sighed, "Since you have no intentions, then take Qijun to the side." Song Liuguang, you also stand aside, count the two of you as tied. ”
What the emperor meant, Zhao Xiangyi understood, and she also knew that if she really fought hard, she was by no means an opponent of a streamer guard, and she didn't want to go against her father in her heart, so she looked at Bianliang, and when she saw him nodding, she took the child and stood aside.
The emperor said, "Zhan Song once said that to kill you, it takes three streamer swords, but I prefer to be well prepared, what else do you have to say." ”
The emperor kept asking him to speak, hoping that he would be soft, because after the fall of the Three Holy Legions and the Chengdu Legion, the imperial court had no deterrent, not to mention that each county had a heart of self-reliance, and even the generals who returned from Xuzhou in this Lincheng had self-respect.
A dead Li Changsheng will not bring him any benefits, but if Li Changsheng can be used by him, he will definitely be able to revive the prestige of the imperial court, which is also the only hope for the Zhao family.
Bian Liang looked at Xue Mulan beside him, "Your Majesty, or we will each lose one more person." He didn't want Xue Mulan to take risks.
Before the emperor could speak, Xue Mulan preemptively said, "Big brother, don't forget, we are brothers and sisters, and we need to advance and retreat together." ”
Bianliang was anxious to hear this, and was about to persuade the second sister again, so that she would not cause trouble, but the emperor over there said, "If you are really worried about your sister-in-law, you can surrender." ”
Surrender? Bianliang smiled, "We are here for the people of the world, so you should surrender." ”
The Emperor waved his hand, "Since that's the case, there's no need to say more. ”
If Li Changsheng can't be used by him, then bury him with his country.
With the emperor's signal, a light curtain rose in the Qianguang Palace, but the first to attack was not the man in black, but Xue Mulan!
"Big brother, don't let me die in vain!" Her words were simple and calm, and with this call, her people seemed to have returned to Xinye City, sprinting, jumping, drawing swords, whirling slashes, and overflowing with light. These moves instantly engulfed the two men in black.
When she came, she planned to join forces with Zhao Xiangyi to entangle a man in black to reduce the burden on her eldest brother, but now, a man in black has retreated.
She understands that if she is alone, even in the face of a streamer guard, she will not be able to last long, because she has seen her father's swordsmanship, and when she can't hold on, she will be a burden to her eldest brother.
She knew that in this palace, the eldest brother had to be careful of Zhao Xiangyi and the crown prince, and he couldn't hurt the emperor, if he was distracted by her, there would be only a dead end.
So she entangled the two at the beginning to create opportunities for the eldest brother, if the eldest brother made a smooth move and killed the two, it would be excellent, even if none of them were killed, without her, the eldest brother would always have fewer scruples, so the chances of survival would be much greater.
And the most important thing is that she knows that because of Zhao Xiangyi's existence, the eldest brother is always restrained, and if she dies, maybe the eldest brother's hands and feet can be released.
Although it is a little selfish to do this, as long as the eldest brother is alive, what about being selfish.
She was in the air, but she twisted her head and gave Zhao Xiangyi an apologetic smile.
The smile was like a rose on a tree branch that was about to die, and the people who saw it were saddened.
"Don't." Bianliang shouted loudly, but no matter how loud his voice was, no matter how fast he caught up, at that moment, he couldn't catch up with the withering of the rose.
