Volume 3 Liangjing Fengyun Chapter 97 The Realm of Mortality
"Is Nan Han Yang in the temple?" The majestic voice of the Spirit Emperor had already sounded from the hall gate, and before Nan Ying rushed to the door, the Spirit Emperor had already stepped into the hall first.
Behind him, in addition to the accompanying eunuchs and guards, there were also three officials in light robes and slow belts, who were looking at Nanying who was rushing towards him with surprised eyes. These three people are all acquaintances, and they are Zhang Rang, the chief lieutenant, Cao Song, and Situ Cuilie.
"Your Majesty! Please exit the Garter Hall now! Nan Ying said sharply: "And issued an edict to block the entire Nangong, transfer the royal guards, and the ministers want to take people!" ”
Emperor Ling's eyes froze, he rarely saw Nan Ying lose his temper like this, especially in front of outsiders, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhang Rang and Cao Song looked at each other, obviously they didn't expect Nanying to be so unexpected, and they dared to openly criticize in front of the Son of Heaven.
"Nanying, you are really getting more and more presumptuous!" Cui Lie had always had some discord with Nan Ying, and after he was stunned, he immediately shouted with his halberd fingers: "In front of the Son of Heaven, how can you be allowed to commit such a disrespectful and humble act? ”
"Brother Feng! Take down this old thief first! Nanying said calmly: "This conspiracy to kill the king, he will not escape the responsibility!" ”
"What!" Zhang Rang's father and son and Cao Song screamed at the same time.
Cui Lie trembled violently, his face was so angry that he screamed: "Fart! What conspiracy to kill the king? Do you want to spray people with blood? ”
"Shut up!" Emperor Ling raised his hand with a gloomy face and stopped Cui Lie's following: "Han Yang, what conspiracy have you discovered?" ”
"Your Majesty!" Nan Ying was really anxious, he even impulsively pulled up the sleeves of the Spirit Emperor: "It's too late to elaborate, you exit the hall first!" ”
When he moved, everyone present changed color together, is this Nanying really impatient? How dare he do such a disrespectful thing?
"Have you finally found out?" A cold voice sounded from outside the hall: "It's a pity! It's late! ”
"Not good!" When Nan Ying heard that voice, his face immediately changed drastically, and he roughly pulled the Son of Heaven behind him and shouted, "Escort!" ”
Just when the vast majority of people were still in the clouds, the cold voice sounded again: "Shoot the arrow!" ”
The terrifying sound of the dense wind breaking rang out, and the dozens of eunuchs and guards at the temple gate immediately let out a terrible scream, and they fell to the ground one after another.
At the same time, wails and screams rang out all over the hall at the same time, and it was clear that the archers had also begun to mercilessly slaughter the guards and servants outside the temple.
Zhang Rang let out a sharp whistling, a pair of wide robe sleeves suddenly like a sail with enough wind power, he stood up to block the temple door, the long sleeves waved, the water could not splash in, and all the long arrows shot through the door were swept back upside down.
Nanying was overjoyed and shouted, "Close the temple gate!" According to the temple to the death! ”
More than a dozen guards who were lucky enough to survive immediately rushed forward regardless of life and death, and together they closed the two heavy temple gates, but they were shot down by a dense rain of arrows.
Just listen to the sound of "snatching" endlessly, like rain hitting lotus leaves, drums beating continuously, everyone's minds flashed the terrible scene of the temple door being nailed like a hedgehog by the rain of arrows, and they shuddered together.
Nan Ying suddenly remembered something, and he shouted sharply to the dozens of servants who were trembling at the corner of the hall: "Quick! Extinguish all the candles! ”
"Nope! Can't go it all out! Leave a few just in case! Emperor Ling pulled the sleeve of Lanan Eagle's coat and whispered in shock.
Nan Ying was stunned and looked towards the Spirit Emperor, only to see that he could barely maintain his composure, but there was already a sense of panic in his eyes, and he immediately understood. The killers can openly gather people to assassinate in Nangong Chongdi, obviously they have controlled the situation, and being able to do this proves that the Nangong guards are either dead or have already reneged, who can guarantee that there are no moles in the palace? Once the temple falls into darkness, I am afraid that the life of the Son of Heaven is even more worrying!
The candles in the hall quickly fell silent, and at last there were only a few faint lights left, and the screams outside the hall gradually calmed down. Everyone's hearts sank, and it seemed that everyone outside the palace who was loyal to the Son of Heaven was beheaded and killed.
"Han Yang, what the hell is going on?" The Spirit Emperor finally recovered from his panic, and his tone was cold, revealing infinite murderous intent: "Who is it?" Can you so brazenly and openly break into the palace and commit driving? ”
"Humph!" Nan Ying didn't answer, but grabbed Cui Lie's neck, carried him straight over, and said viciously: "Cui old thief! You immediately shouted outward, if Cui Jun dared to launch an offensive again, he would have taken your head first! ”
Cui Lie was strangled by him, his eyes rolled white, and his hands were slashed, but where could he speak?
Emperor Ling and several courtiers were shocked together: "Is it Cui Jun? ”
"It's this thief!" Nan Ying said gloomily: "It's a pity, I know too late, it's too late to stop!" ”
"Cui Jun?" Emperor Ling said in disbelief: "He was sealed with a blade in his hand that day, and he had great merit, how could he do such a rebellious thing?" ”
As soon as Nan Ying let go, Cui Lie fell to the ground like a mess of mud, and he sneered: "Don't Your Majesty still understand?" On the same day, Tang Zhou was imprisoned for exposing Ma Yuanyi, and Feng Xu died at the hands of Cui Jun for breaking into the palace and assassinating him. ”
"Cui Jun must be the new Renyi!" Nan Ying gritted his teeth and said: "In order to achieve the goal of forcing the Taiping Dao and at the same time removing Zhang Zhong, the former lieutenant of the school, Feng Xu has already made up his mind to kill himself, and he also used his death to win His Majesty's trust in Cui Jun!" That's a three-pronged solution! ”
"Your Majesty! You're so confused! He said quietly, "Why did you come here so hastily at night?" Today, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to escape! ”
The Spirit Emperor and the others were thrilled to hear it, and they let out a heavy wheezing sound together, only Cui Lie heard it with a broken heart and heart, and his teeth couldn't stop fighting.
"Why is Han Yang so pessimistic?" Zhang Feng said proudly: "Although we are in a bad situation now, this place is in the Forbidden Palace after all!" As long as we hold for a while, the soldiers and horses from all sides will definitely come to the aid in time, and Cui Jun and his thieves will be all killed! ”
"Not bad!" Zhang Rang also nodded and said: "This official can see clearly, there are only more than 100 thieves outside the palace, and I don't want to enter the palace within a moment or three!" ”
"You're too optimistic!" Nan Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know why I blocked Your Majesty from entering the palace?" It's because this so-called Yushu Thousand Lamps is a terrible killing weapon made by Cui Thief with painstaking solitude, and it ......."
"Southern Eagle!" A cold voice outside the hall rang out: "You are really a disaster!" Why is it that every time I run into you, I will miss the opportunity and even fail! ”
"Cui Jun! Or should I call you Renichi, and you still have the face to claim to be from the Heavenly Stems Branch? Nan Ying made a silent gesture to Emperor Ling, and raised his voice: "I dare to use my head as a guarantee, your assassination this time is definitely your personal intention!" ”
Cui Jun suddenly fell silent, and only after a while: "You seem to know a lot?" Why is there such faith? ”
"It's easy! Because of these black oils! Nanying laughed and said, "If you hadn't robbed a hundred barrels in advance, all this black oil would have become the general's bag!" ”
"What? I said, "Why can you see through my schemes?" A hint of surprise appeared in Cui Jun's voice: "It turns out that you already know the secret of these black oils!" I've left a mark on the temple, right? ”
"Not bad! You have harnessed the power of black oil and the miraculous effects of thirsty black to transform this jade tree thousand lamps, which could have become a peerless treasure, into a firearm capable of burning everything! Nan Ying said with some regret: "You are a peerless talent, but why do you want to be a rebellious minister and thief who has been stinking for thousands of years?" ”
"Why?" Cui Jun laughed wildly: "Of course, it's to avenge Feng Xu, and it's also to wipe out all of you faint monarchs and ministers!" ”
"You fatherless rebel son!" Cui Lie jumped up unexpectedly and hissed: "My Cui family has such unscrupulous descendants, what face do you have to go to see your ancestors and ancestors after you die?" ”
"Shut up!" Cui Jun's violent roar rumbled: "You are greedy for money and lust for profit, how can you be worthy of being my father Cui Jun?" ”
"What did you say!" Not only was Cui Lie's teeth cracked, but even the Spirit Emperor and Nanying couldn't help but look at each other. What the hell are these father and son doing? Is it singing a double reed?
"On that day, I strongly advised you not to buy officials, this is to laugh at the world! And you? Cui Jun's voice contained undisguised resentment: "Not only did he ignore it, but he even scolded me in public, which made me lose face!" You have no shame to meet the ancestors of the Cui family! ”
"You!" Cui Lie couldn't hold on anymore under the anger of his heart, and fell down with his eyes rolling again.
"Humph!" Cui Jun sneered for a moment before he said calmly: "General Nan, although you and I are in hostility, you pacify the Yellow Turban, bravely retreat from the rebels, dominate the world, and are invincible, and you have always cherished you!" If you can take down the faint king immediately, give it to me! ”
He laughed and said, "I am willing to become a brother with you and join the great cause in the future, what do you think?" ”
"What do I think? Just two words! Nan Ying ignored the frightened gaze from his side, he and the Spirit Emperor's trusting smiling gaze lightly touched, and a bright smile also bloomed, and suddenly shouted with all his might: "Die!" ”
"I really don't know whether to live or die!" Cui Jun sighed and said: "It's a pity that a talented man in the world is willing to be martyred for this faint king!" It's a pity! ”
"Cui Jun, I finally understand one thing now!" Nan Ying said lightly: "The case of robbing the tomb on the Xianyang Plain was also planned by you behind the scenes, right?" ”
"Hey, you even guessed it!" Cui Jun said in surprise, and suddenly he smiled: "It turns out that you are trying to delay time!" It's useless, you say that I can't attack the main hall for the time being, can I wait for reinforcements to arrive? ”
As if to verify the expectations of Emperor Ling, Nanying and others, in the distance, there was a sound of footsteps like thunder, which was converging from all directions to the Jiade Hall.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Rang laughed overjoyed: "Cui thief, you dare to bluff here!" Listen, isn't this a reinforcement coming? You'd better cut yourself! ”
"It's good reinforcements!" Cui Jun's calm voice did not show the slightest panic: "It's a pity that they can only collect the corpses for you!" ”
"Originally, my plan was that when the Dusk King lit the Thousand Lamps of the Jade Tree tonight, the mechanism hidden underground would open on its own, causing the gradually heated black oil to gush out from the ground, causing a fire and burning all the Dusk Jun and you traitors to death!" Cui Jun laughed wildly: "Although this surnamed Nan was lucky enough to discover this plan, do you really think that if you don't light the Yushu Thousand Lanterns, you can't trigger the mechanism?" ”
"What?" Nanying finally lost his color: "Do you have any other ways to start a fire?" ”
"You're stalling for time, why shouldn't I?" Cui Jun laughed wildly: "Now, you will definitely die!" ”
With a "bang", the roof of the hall shattered, and a huge and heavy pottery altar was thrown in, smashed into pieces in the inhuman gaze of everyone, and the viscous black liquid flowed everywhere.
"No matter how clever you are, you can't think that as long as the surface of the main hall is heated, it can also trigger the mechanism under the floor!" Cui Jun said sharply: "And the fire caused by these black oils can't be extinguished at all!" Give me arrows! ”
A series of fiery snake-like rockets shot into the main hall through the window lattice, and in an instant, the black oil on the ground was completely ignited, causing a raging fire, reflecting the white and desperate faces of dozens of people in the hall.
