The elderly Kou Zhun suddenly became a lot more vigorous, pulling the stunned Kou Ji, and took dozens of steps into the vertical arch hall.

As soon as he left the palace gate, he met Zhu Neng, who was wearing armor and holding a blade, and hurried over.

Zhu Neng was also stunned when he saw Kou Zhun's grandson.

"Taishi, who are you?"

Kou Zhun hurriedly urged: "Don't say anything, quickly escape from here." ”

When Zhu Neng heard this, he was startled, his big eyes were round, and he exclaimed: "Official?!" ”

Kou Zhun said in a deep voice: "The official family is worry-free, it was Liu E who caused a big disaster." ”

Zhu Neng hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "The rebellion has been quelled, and most of the people inside and outside the imperial city are ours. ”

Implication.

Even if Liu E made any trouble, as long as Kou Zhun gave an order, he would immediately lead the army to set things right.

Kou Zhun stomped his feet and lamented, "Liu E asked people to cut off Zhao Yuanyan's head. ”

"Hiss......"

Zhu Neng gasped and said in shock: "That's really a big disaster......

Kou Zhun glanced at Zhu Neng and urged: "The palace is about to become a place for the King of Chu to splash, let's leave this place as soon as possible, so as not to be accidentally injured by the King of Chu." ”

After saying this, Kou Zhun dragged Kou Ji and was about to leave.

Zhu Neng raised his hand and grabbed Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun glared, "What are you doing?" ”

Zhu Neng said with a bitter face: "When I came down from the imperial city, I had already seen the frame of the King of Chu and appeared outside the Donghua Gate. The King of Chu must have known by now that Zhao Yuanyan was dead.

If you go out now, you will inevitably bump into the King of Chu.

You will bear the brunt of the wrath of the King of Chu. ”

Kou Zhun beat his chest unwillingly and said, "The old man shouldn't be corrupt about the money given by the official family and the queen......

After Kou Zhun muttered, he dragged Kou Ji and took Zhu Neng to the vertical arch hall.

While walking, he whispered to Kou Ji and Zhu Neng.

"After Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, arrives for a while, you will hide behind the people. When he has had enough of being angry with others, we are taking the opportunity to escape from the palace. ”

Kou Ji and Zhu Neng looked at each other when they heard this.

Zhu Neng unloaded his sword behind the door of the vertical arch hall.

The three entered the hall of the arch.

In the vertical arch hall, up to Zhao Zhen, Liu E, down to Chen Lin, Guo Huai and other eunuchs, all of them were worried.

I saw Kou Zhun reappear on the vertical arch hall.

The people in the vertical arch hall were also stunned.

Zhao Zhen said with a little surprise: "Taishi, but you plan to stay and help me solve my worries?" ”

Kou Zhun shook his head, and said angrily: "The frame of the King of Chu has arrived outside the palace, and the old minister can't get out." ”

Inside the arched hall.

Everyone's hearts jumped.

Liu E's face turned blue.

Xia Zhu came to Liu E's side and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, the king of Chu is crazy, but the six relatives don't recognize it." In the past, Emperor Taizong was helpless to take him, so you better avoid it. ”

Liu E gritted her silver teeth and nodded extremely humiliatingly.

"Whoa......

Liu E flicked her sleeves, didn't say a word, and walked decisively to the outside of the vertical arch hall.

Everyone in the vertical arch hall was speechless.

Did you cause the trouble?

Do you want to walk away?

Most of the people in the vertical arch hall were reluctant to let Liu E go.

But they are not qualified to force Liu E to stay.

Only Kou Zhun and Zhao Zhen are qualified to keep Liu E.

Zhao Zhen opened his mouth and stopped talking.

Seeing Liu E leave the Vertical Arch Palace.

Kou Zhun stared at Liu E's departing figure and sneered, but did not speak.

After Liu E left.

Chen Lin suddenly took a few steps forward, kicked Guo Huai who was paralyzed on the ground, kicked a few times, and scolded in an extremely dissatisfied voice: "Why don't you roll to the back of the vertical arch hall and wait for punishment?" ”

When Guo Huai heard this, he hurriedly got up and ran to the back of the vertical arch hall.

This scene.

No one paid attention to it except Coji.

After Liu E left, Zhao Zhen asked Kou Zhun with a bitter face, "Taishi, what should I do now?" ”

Kou Zhun let out a long sigh, and his eyes fell on the two instrument prison masters, "Only the two of you who assassinated the Eight Kings?" ”

One of the masters of the instrument prison arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "There are four people in the lowly line, and two of them died in the chaos. ”

Kou Zhun nodded slowly, looked at Zhao Zhen, and was about to speak.

Seeing another master of the instrument prison, he said in a deep voice: "The lowly people are also acting on orders, and now the queen mother has left the two lowly ones in order to avoid trouble, and the lowly two people are not willing to bring trouble to the official family."

The lowly two were willing to apologize for their sins with death in order to appease the anger of the king of Chu. ”

"No!"

Kou Ji blurted out two words.

But the others in the hall did not stop the two masters of the instrument prison.

The two masters of the instrument prison suddenly got up and struggled to install them on the pillars in the vertical arch hall.

Kou Ji subconsciously clenched his fists and stopped talking.

His gaze fell on Chen Lin as if nothing was there.

Just now he was still speculating about why the people around Liu E suddenly became so stupid.

Guo Huai, an old eunuch who has experienced two dynasties and has been in grace, would actually say such stupid things in front of everyone.

The master of the instrument supervisor actually cut off Zhao Yuanyan's head without consulting Liu E.

Now that he saw the two masters of the instrument prison willingly committing suicide, Kou Ji felt that there were other promoters behind this matter.

And this promoter, the eight achievements is Chen Lin.

Chen Lin once told Kou Ji that Guo Huai had followed him.

In other words, Chen Lin knows Guo Huai very well.

With Guo Huai's greedy temperament, it is easy for Chen Lin to hold Guo Huai's handle.

It is even easier to force Guo Huai and do some stupid things.

Liu E can dispatch the master of equipment supervision, and Chen Lin can also do it.

And the only one who can bypass Liu E and give orders directly to the master of the instrument supervisor is Chen Lin, the instrument supervisor, who is really in control.

He is the only one who can force the masters in the instrument prison to commit suicide willingly.

Chen Lin, an old man, is really powerful.

If you don't make a move, it's enough.

As soon as he made a move, he forced Liu E into the abyss.

Chen Lin seemed to feel Kou Ji's gaze, glanced at Kou Ji slightly, and after giving Kou Ji an unfathomable look, he hunched his waist and returned to Zhao Zhen's side, standing like a loyal old servant.

Kou Ji felt that it was necessary for him to re-examine Chen Lin.

Zhao Zhen, who was standing in front of the dragon chair, looked at the two instrument supervisors who died on the vertical arch hall, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

There was some gloom in his eyes.

An important minister slowly stepped forward and said, "Official, the heads of these two thieves should be put into a brocade box to calm the anger of the King of Chu." ”

Zhao Zhen took a deep breath and said faintly: "They are not thieves!" ”

Zhao Zhen instructed Chen Lin beside him: "Send someone to collect their corpses, and when the eldest uncle arrives, give the eldest uncle a look." ”

Chen Lin agreed, and sent someone to collect the corpse of the instrument supervisor master.

Subsequently.

Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun, Kou Ji and others waited quietly in the main hall.

Not long after, Di Qing led Zhu You to the vertical arch hall, knelt on one knee, and reported the results.

Zhao Zhen asked Di Qing and the others to stay on the side first, and wait until the matter was all settled, and then reward them for their merits.

It wasn't long before Di Qing entered the Vertical Arch Hall.

Gao, Shi, Cao, Pan and other representatives also sent representatives to the palace to show loyalty to Zhao Zhen and report the results of the battle.

Zhe Jixuan is also on this list.

Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, was the last to enter the palace.

The golden crown on his head was somewhere he had left it, and he was dressed in an undershirt, and he stepped into the hall of the vertical arch.

Behind him, several guards carried a corpse, and his python robe covered the corpse.

Everyone in the vertical arch hall saw Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, and raised their hearts one by one.

After Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, entered the vertical arch hall, his eyes seemed to be spewing fire, and he looked around the hall extremely rudely.

"Who...... Who killed it? ”

Zhao Yuanzuo's voice was hoarse, as if he had just been in pain, and there seemed to be surging anger in his voice.

Zhao Zhen stiffened, took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Emperor, Uncle Eight Emperor is dead, it's not what I want, I ......"

Zhao Yuanzuo raised his head, his eyes were red and he roared: "If you say anything high-sounding, don't tell me more, I just want to know, who killed it?" ”

Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "The person who killed the Eighth Emperor Uncle is dead. ”

"Corpses?!"

Zhao Yuanzuo asked.

Zhao Zhen hurriedly sent someone to carry out the corpses of the two instrument supervisors.

Zhao Yuanzuo's eyes swept over the two corpses, and his gaze fell on Zhao Zhen.

To be precise, it was on the dragon chair behind Zhao Zhen.

"The throne, is it really that good? So good that people don't even care about family affection? ”

"For that position, the brother kills the brother, the brother chases the brother, the uncle punishes the nephew, and the nephew kills the uncle......"

"For that position, blood relatives cannibalize ......"

“……”

"Huh!"

Zhao Yuanzuo pulled out the saber at his waist and ran towards Zhao Zhen with red eyes.

Everyone in the hall was shocked.

Chen Lin exclaimed: "Escort! Escort! ”

Di Qing, Zhu Neng and others came forward and blocked Zhao Yuanzuo's inevitable path.

Zhao Yuanzuo faced the obstruction of Di Qing, Zhu Neng and others, and slashed with his sword.

"Get out of the way!"

"The official family also dodges!"

"Let the King of Chu pass!"

“……”

Moment of truth.

Still Kou Zhun shouted, reminded everyone, and got out of the way.

Otherwise, Zhu Neng, Di Qing and others were killed by Zhao Yuanzuo.

Zhao Zhen was dragged by Kou Zhun and retreated to the side, Di Qing and the others hurriedly stepped forward and blocked in front of Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Yuanzuo jumped, jumped up the imperial steps, waved the sword in his hand, and slashed at the dragon chair.

Everyone in the vertical arch hall watched Zhao Yuanzuo chopping the dragon chair in a daze.

A few breaths.

The dragon chair was split apart.

After cutting the dragon chair, Zhao Yuanzuo stared at Zhao Zhen with red eyes, and roared: "Don't sit on the dragon chair again in the future!" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded stiffly.

"Who instructed it?"

Zhao Yuanzuo questioned, but there was silence in the vertical arch hall.

"Forget it...... If you don't say it, I know ......."

Zhao Yuanzuo muttered to himself.

"Liu E! You're damned! ”

Zhao Yuanzuo carried his sword, stepped out of the vertical arch hall, and ran to Liu E's bedroom.

Zhao Zhen was startled and rushed out after Zhao Yuanzuo's footsteps.

Everyone in the vertical arch hall rushed out after them.

rushed all the way to Liu E's dormitory, and saw that Zhao Yuanzuo was setting fire to other palaces around Liu E's dormitory.

Zhao Zhen and the others looked at it stunned.

No one dared to stop him.

Several eunuchs and palace ladies who rushed out of the palace next to them went to stop them, but they were already cut down by Zhao Yuanzuo to the ground.

After Zhao Yuanzuo set fire to the surrounding palaces.

He also raised his sword and killed in front of the gate of Liu E's bedroom, hacked to death the female official at the gate of Liu E's bedroom, and guarded in front of the gate of Liu E's bedroom, not only did not retreat.

When Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun and others saw this scene, they didn't know how to deal with it.

I don't understand at all what Zhao Yuanzuo is going to do after burning down the palaces around Liu E's bedroom.

I don't know why Zhao Yuanzuo didn't rush in after he arrived at the gate of Liu E's dormitory and stabbed the enemy.

"Uncle ...... Emperor"

Zhao Zhen, accompanied by Kou Zhun, walked to Zhao Yuanzuo's side and snorted lightly.

Zhao Yuanzuo said in a low voice: "Clear the palace around the dormitory, at the gate of the dormitory, build me a house, I will always stay here." ”

Zhao Zhen said in a mournful voice: "Uncle Huang, why is this? ”

Zhao Yuanzuo did not answer Zhao Zhen's question, but turned his head and stared at Zhao Zhen and said: "Uncle has destroyed several of your palaces and occupied a corner of your palace, and Uncle is willing to use the official title on his body and the food in his name as compensation." ”

Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun and others were stunned when they heard this.

Zhao Yuanzuo, who was still murderous just now, suddenly seemed to have changed his personality.

Could it be that after staying in the house for many years, that temperament has been smoothed out?

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Yuanzuo and said, "Uncle ...... Emperor"

"Call Uncle ......"

"Uncle, why are you doing this?"

Zhao Yuanzuo smiled cruelly, "Because I suddenly feel that it is too cheap to kill Liu E directly." I'm going to stand here and block the palace gates. So that she will never be able to get out. ”

"Captivity ......"

Someone muttered quietly.

But I heard Zhao Yuanzuo continue: "I still have to stop the people who bring food and water inside......

Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun and the others instantly widened their eyes.

There are 100 people in Liu E's bedroom.

If there is no place to store food or water, the people in it will have to ...... if they want to live

I thought of what would happen to nearly 100 people after they ran out of food and water.

Kou Zhun, Kou Ji and the others gasped in unison.

Zhao Zhen was stupid for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.

Moment.

At the entrance of Liu E's bedroom, it became quiet.

There was silence for a long time.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but speak: "Uncle......"

Zhao Yuanzuo laughed in a low voice: "You can send someone in to deliver food and water." As long as you send something in, I'll set it on fire and burn all the people inside. ”

After a pause, Zhao Yuanzuo handed the sword in his hand to Zhao Zhen again, "Of course, you can also kill me and save Liu E." ”

Zhao Zhen trembled, and he didn't dare to pick up the sword.

Moment.

At the door of Liu E's bedroom, it became quiet again.

The scene of Zhao Yuanzuo's anger that everyone was looking forward to did not happen.

Zhao Yuanzuo seemed to be calm.

But Zhao Yuanzuo, who calmed down, became even more terrifying.

"Official, go back to the Vertical Arch Hall first, and then talk about ......"

Kou Zhun opened his mouth to break the deadlock, and let people help Zhao Zhen, who was dazed, and left the gate of Liu E's bedroom.

The rest of the people also left the gate of Liu E's bedroom, leaving only Zhao Yuanzuo and a few guards loyal to Zhao Yuanzuo to guard the gate of Liu E's bedroom.
