A few days later, not long after Furusawa had left the city of Kyoto with the Jiazi battalion on the orders of the general, a heavy snow suddenly fell in the sky without warning.

The snow is very strong, it only took a few hours of the day, and the entire Fengling City has been completely enveloped, and the foggy and snowy weather makes the night come relatively early, and it has directly entered the night before dusk.

And not long after nightfall, the light horse drove out of the palace and rushed straight towards the Great General's Palace.

After Xiahou Xuanba finished dinner, he came to the study to read as usual, but after a long time without serving on the side, Xiahou Xuanba's book tonight was also a little boring. Before the usual hour, Xiahou Xuanba silently put down the book, took a pot of wine and walked to the window, and began to drink in front of the wind and snow.

Xiahou Xuanba frowned, taking small sips of wine slowly, completely losing the arrogance of drinking on weekdays, but Rao was like this, and a pot of wine was quickly drunk by him. However, today, instead of putting down the wine jar and going to sleep as before, he turned around and took a pot of wine again, and continued to drink from Xue Gu...... I don't know why? He always felt a little uneasy tonight. As a slaughterer who has experienced a lifetime of battlefield battles and is accustomed to seeing white bones, this kind of situation should rarely occur, but he has felt this way more than once. I vaguely remember that the last time he felt restless, it was when Situ Changqing, the old lady who was also the minister of Tuogu, drove to the west.

"Papapa......" A hurried knock on the door came into Xiahou Xuanba's ears.

After a while, I saw Bai You, a close servant of the Son of Heaven, coming to the outside of the study under the leadership of the servants of the General's Mansion.

"The old slave has seen the general." Bai You took the lead in saluting Xiahou Xuanba.

"Father-in-law Bai doesn't have to be polite."

Xiahou Xuanba looked at Bai You with a puzzled face, and asked, "Father-in-law Bai came to visit late at night, but what is Your Majesty's will?" ”

"Your Majesty has no will." Bai You replied.

"That's?" Xiahou Xuanba was puzzled.

Bai You didn't answer directly, but glanced at the attendants beside Xiahou Xuanba.

"You go down first!" Xiahou Xuanba commanded.

After the attendant went out, Bai You suddenly fell to his knees with a thud, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with him?" When Xiahou Xuanba heard this, his face showed anxiety, and he hurriedly asked.

Bai You said in a sad tone: "Your Majesty... His Majesty got up this morning and suddenly contracted a vicious disease, and has been in a coma for a whole day, and the hospital is also helpless about it, just when His Majesty just woke up, His Majesty said... said that he had a premonition that the time limit had come, and let the old slave urgently pass on the general to enter the palace with the prime minister, and wanted to do something to support the orphans......"

"What?" Xiahou Xuanba was taken aback, pulled Bai You up, and reprimanded: "Why didn't you notify the old man earlier when such a big thing happened?" ”

"The general is angry, Your Majesty has no will, how dare the old slave be so disrespectful......" Bai You hurriedly confessed.

"So what are you waiting for? Don't hurry up and take the old man into the palace. Xiahou Xuanba shook off Bai You anxiously and strode out.

Coming to the gate of the General's Mansion, Bai You hurriedly pointed to the carriage behind him and said, "It's snowing and the night is cold, the general should still sit in the car!"

Xiahou Xuanba didn't pay attention to Bai You, but directly turned over and got on the horse, and then said: "When is it, you still have time to take the car, why don't you hurry up and enter the palace with the old man Pegasus, like you and other people who don't know the priorities, if you are under the old man's account, you have to be cured of the crime of missing the military plane......"

After saying that, Xiahou Xuanba took the lead and galloped ahead, and Bai You hurriedly got on the horse and followed. Looking at the back of Xiahou Xuanba in front of him, he couldn't help but feel angry and a strange feeling in his heart, when he just learned the news of His Majesty's "critical illness", Xiahou Xuanba's worried expression, he had a full view, and more importantly, Xiahou Xuanba followed him into the palace alone...... Is this how loyal he is and has no dissent? Or does he have something to rely on and have nothing to fear? Bai You was also a little uncertain in his heart.

The group soon came to the outside of the palace in the wind and snow, looking at the appearance of the Imperial Forest Army on the palace as if facing a great enemy, Xiahou Xuanba was not suspicious at all, but was even more worried about the little emperor's illness.

Xiahou Xuanba did not dismount, but directly crossed the palace wall, and naturally no one dared to raise any objections to this, because among the many privileges granted to him by His Majesty the Emperor, there were already two of them: entering the palace with a horse and entering the palace with a knife.

"Your Majesty in that palace?" Xiahou Xuanba's horse speed did not decrease, and he opened his mouth to ask Bai You.

"Your Majesty is in the upper study." Bai You blurted out.

As soon as Bai You's words came out, he felt speechless, so he hurriedly added: "Your Majesty suddenly fainted while reviewing the recital, and the imperial doctor ordered not to move Your Majesty. ”

"Hmm." Xiahou Xuanba didn't think much about it when he heard this, and directly turned his horse's head and drove in the direction of the upper study.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the upper study, Bai You hurriedly drove the horses under his crotch to catch up with Xiahou Xuanba, and said: "I hope that the general will be careful, and make sure that the sound of horses' hooves disturbs Your Majesty." ”

"Woo ......" Xiahou Xuanba heard this, straightened the horse, turned over and jumped off the horse, and hurriedly walked towards the upper study, his pace was so fast that it took Bai You to trot all the way to catch up.

When they came to the main hall of the upper study, they saw hundreds of royal guards standing on the steps, all of them fully armed, their swords sharpened, and the swords in their hands were all unsheathed, and the silver light on the swords was fierce and murderous.

Until this time, Xiahou Xuanba still had no suspicion in his heart. It's just that the physical condition of His Majesty the Emperor has been a little worse.

"The general will wait a minute, and the old slave will go to your majesty." Bai You bowed to Xiahou Xuanba, and then hurriedly walked into the upper study.

After a while, I saw Bai You walking out of the upper study again, and said loudly, "Your Majesty has a decree to order the general to untie his sword and enter the hall." ”

After the will was transmitted, Bai You hurriedly walked down the steps and explained to Xiahou Xuanba: "Don't think too much about it, general, it's really Your Majesty who is sick with the dragon at this time, and he can't see the sword soldiers. ”

"It doesn't matter." Xiahou Xuanba replied softly, casually untied the knife on his waist, and handed it to Bai You.

"General, please." Bai You took the saber and said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, how is the dragon body?" Xiahou Xuanba asked in a low voice as he walked.

"The general will see when he goes in." Bai You replied in a low voice.

When Xiahou Xuanba heard this, he didn't pay attention to Bai You anymore, but strode towards the upper study as usual, but his steps were faster than in the past.

After Bai You handed over the saber in his hand to the guards outside the door, he also walked quickly in front of Xiahou Xuanba and opened the door for him.

After Xiahou Xuanba entered the hall, he saw that the huge upper study room was empty, but it was brightly lit, the doors and windows were closed, and the room was filled with a strong scent of smoke, and the airtight room made people feel a little depressed.

"What about Your Majesty?" Xiahou Xuanba turned around and stared at Bai You, and asked.

Although Xiahou Xuanba's gaze was not fierce and his words were not tyrannical, there was an inexplicable momentum in his words. Rao is Bai You's old spicy, and under the momentum of Xiahou Xuanba, he also lost his mind for a moment. But soon, Bai You reacted, and suddenly shouted in a sharp voice, "Do it." ”

"Bang", the door of the study was kicked open from the outside, and the group of heavily armed armor soldiers who had just stood under the steps, all of them hurriedly rushed in with swords in their hands, and almost at the same time, from behind the screens and curtains in the main hall, there were also countless royal forest soldiers with swords in hand and armor all over their bodies, and a group of people rushed up to surround Xiahou Xuanba.

Xiahou Xuanba was taken aback, and then frowned and said, "Do you all want to rebel?" ”

"It's not us who want to rebel, it's you, the general." Bai You replied, then took out a holy decree from his bosom and held it high, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree to kill the rebellious Xiahou Xuanba, take his head, seal thousands of households, and reward ten thousand gold." ”

When Xiahou Xuanba heard this, he suddenly laughed, looked at Bai You and shouted: "Old man, don't believe that Your Majesty will treat me like this?" It must be you, a traitor, who wants to rebel and usurp the country, so he will falsely pass on the holy decree, and the old man will kill you now......"

Say it! He jumped up and rushed towards Bai You.

"Kill him." Bai You hurriedly ordered, but he didn't dare to step forward to face Xiahou Xuanba, but hid his body behind the layers of armor.

"Kill ......" The group of armor soldiers roared, holding swords and brushing towards Xiahou Xuanba.

"Kill!" Xiahou Xuanba also shouted loudly and rushed towards them.

"Bang", the person who rushed to the top was directly smashed by Xiahou Xuanba's chest armor with a punch, and then the person was punched upside down and flew out, knocking down several people behind him. With another "click", Xiahou Xuanba directly broke a long sword with his bare hands, and after throwing the broken sword out of his hand, he directly stabbed a person to death...... As soon as he fought, Xiahou Xuanba slaughtered several people with his bare hands, and he held a long knife snatched from the hand of the armorer in his hand.

Xiahou Xuanba pointed at Bai You with a long knife in his hand, and sneered: "You traitorous eunuch can't help but underestimate the old man, the old man has been on the battlefield for decades, can you take the life of the old man with just a few hundred people?" Besides, how can the old man die at the hands of a pickled man like you? ”

Bai You knew that Xiahou Xuanba was a fierce general in the army and a master of the nine grades, although the Royal Forest Army arranged today was far from a hundred people, but Bai You didn't expect this group of Royal Forest Army to really kill Xiahou Xuanba, the purpose of this group of Royal Forest Army was just to drag Xiahou Xuanba so that he could not leave, and the real killing move was elsewhere.

Bai You glanced at the incense next to him and said: "The old slave knows that the general is a fierce general in the army and a master of the nine grades, so he didn't expect these one hundred and ten people to really keep the general, but the general, you see, is there really only one hundred and ten people in this Royal Forest Army?" ”

Xiahou Xuanba looked up, and saw that there was indeed a steady stream of Imperial Forest Army outside the door, but there was no panic on his face, but he was killing more and more ruthlessly.

Seeing this, Bai You suddenly laughed strangely, looked at Xiahou Xuanba and said, "Does the general really think that the killing move is this group of Imperial Forest Army?" Isn't the Great General still aware that your true essence is slowly dissipating? ”

When Xiahou Xuanba heard this, he glanced at the incense that was smoking green smoke next to him, his heart sank, he scolded "despicable", and began to subconsciously kill in the direction of the door.

"He's dying, get on." Bai You urged the Imperial Forest Army beside him.

Xiahou Xuanba asked while killing, "Where is Your Majesty?" What happened to your Majesty, the traitorous general? ”

Bai You sneered: "General, do you still think that this is the old slave doing something rebellious? The Imperial Guards don't even listen to your orders, so how can they listen to the old slave? ”

"Old man, don't believe that Your Majesty will treat me like this? The old man wants to see His Majesty......" Xiahou Xuanba drank extremely frantically, because he felt that his true yuan was rapidly dissipating like snow in the sun.

…… After fighting for a while, Xiahou Xuanba's body also added a few scars, but the corpses of the Imperial Forest Army on the ground were already lying on the ground, and Bai You couldn't help but feel a little afraid when he looked at the corpses all over the ground.

"Your Majesty! Where is Your Majesty? Xiahou Xuanba cut off the head of another Imperial Forest Army and asked loudly, while one of his legs was pierced by the spear of another Royal Forest Army.

"I'm here ......" The little emperor didn't know when, but he appeared at the door of the main hall and was looking at Xiahou Xuanba

"The old slave participates in Your Majesty." Bai You bowed towards Xiahou Xuanba.

"I have changed my mind, I must capture this old man alive, I will kill him with my own hands......" the little emperor said fiercely.

Hearing this, a trace of endless sadness suddenly welled up in Xiahou Xuanba's heart, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face, and he muttered: "It turns out that it is true, the king wants his ministers to die!" ”
