The armor-clad warriors in the main hall roared and rushed towards Guan Yu almost at the same time, picking up the shiny swords in their hands and slashing at the top of his head.

Helplessly, their movements were always a little slower by half a beat, and the prince of Dingbei was like a strange and terrifying loach wandering freely among the people.

In his hand, at some point, there was another sword.

The two swords swung together, and everywhere they passed, a ghost cried wolf, and blood splattered everywhere.

The crossbowmen who had been lying in ambush on the beams of the main hall in advance were no longer willing to crouch down, but they all stood up, and quickly drew their sharp arrows from their quivers and placed them on the bowstrings.

Because it is relatively easier to aim at prey in a standing position than in a squatting position.

Suddenly, there was a loud "boom" above everyone's heads.

The crossbowmen who had just pulled their bowstrings looked up in surprise.

But in the dust, a few broken green tiles fell on it, and the eaves of the main hall somehow broke a hole that was not big or small.

Several of the crossbowmen had to bow their heads and raise their hands to wipe the dust that fascinated their eyes.

And the soldiers, who were not blinded by the dust, and looked up with their mouths wide open, were shocked to see a series of cold lights flashing through the hole, and they were actually whirling towards them.

"Puff", "Puff", accompanied by a series of screams, the crossbowmen on one side of the beam in the hall were stunned and didn't see what was flying in front of them, so they fell to the ground from the high beam like dumplings.

The crossbowmen, who were also lying in ambush on the other side of the beam, raised their crossbows vigilantly and pointed at the holes above their heads. Before they had time to launch, they also fell to the ground one by one, in a daze, and fell to the ground.

A sword-wielding Praetorian Guard soldier on the ground couldn't help but look down and see a crossbowman with wide eyes at his feet, a glittering dart embedded deep in his eyebrows.

Sweating profusely, Guan Yu, who was still fighting hard with his double swords, took advantage of the chaos, took a deep breath, turned his body, and flew along the huge pillars in the hall as fast as a tanuki, as if he was walking on the ground, and jumped onto the beam where the crossbowmen were ambushed.

The soldiers who rushed up with their swords in their hands stopped, stopped shouting, and all opened their mouths wide, looking up at the king of Dingbei of the Great Chu in amazement.

In addition to being shocked, many people sighed from the bottom of their hearts: This is really called living hell! Could it be that this prince is not human?

With a "bang", the main entrance of the main hall was completely pushed open, and a group of heavily armed Praetorian Guard soldiers poured in, each of them carrying a repeating crossbow full of bowstrings.

The general who was led by the colonel briefly observed the situation, raised his hand and pointed at Guan Yu on the beam and shouted: "By the will of the Holy Lord, shoot this thief!" Fast! ”。

"Buzzing and buzzing" a bowstring sounded, and a dense rain of arrows shot into the air.

It was too late to say that it was too late, and at the hole above everyone's heads, a long snake suddenly flew down and wrapped tightly around Guan Yu's waist.

With a "whoosh", in full view of everyone, he was dragged out of the hole.

The dense feathered arrows of "Ding Ding Dong Dong" were fiercely nailed to the wooden roof beams, but there was no one there.

"Ling'er baby!" Guan Yu, who was surprised, widened his eyes, couldn't help but stretch out his arms, hugged the other party's delicate and silky shoulders, and shouted.

"Where did you go before? How did they end up here? Guan Yu asked anxiously.

Under the moonlight, Chen Linger's face was ruddy and lovely.

She raised her head and smiled slightly, and replied eagerly with the same joy: "Bad guy, it's a long story, you and I will first fight side by side out of the imperial city, away from this dangerous place, and then let me talk to you slowly." ”

Guan Yu hurriedly nodded heavily, and the two of them clicked on their toes at the same time, jumped up, and quickly disappeared into the night.

In the dark night, in a small three-story wooden building facing the street, a young man was sleeping in a daze, when suddenly a tremor of the earth woke him from his dream.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he yawned and rolled over, and boldly moved to the window, picking a small slit in the lattice, and peeking out.

A group of horsemen with torches in their hands hurriedly beat their horses down his window and galloped away. They all held bright swords and guns, and their armor was bright and murderous.

In the distance, the place where the palace is located has been surrounded by layers of torches, and the sound of earth-shattering shouts of killing can be faintly heard.

The young man was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the window, retracted his head, stuck out his tongue, and muttered to himself: "My mother-in-law, it seems that there will be a big mess in the capital tonight!" ”。

A few days later, at dusk, with a "banging", the chains of the cell were opened.

The white eyeballs were covered with fine bloodshots, and the hair was slightly unkempt, and Shi Dazai narrowed his eyes and raised his head slightly.

A jailer walked in with a blank face, holding a brightly colored food box in one hand and a small jar of wine in the other.

Behind him, Guan Yu bent over, put his hands behind his back, and paced in unhurriedly.

Shi Tiangong glanced at Guan Yu, there was not much hatred in his eyes, he just sighed lightly, lowered his eyes and shook his head slightly, as if muttering to himself: "It's all my fault for being secretive, just thinking about giving the two generals Xuanwu and Baihu a high-ranking official to calm their hearts." I don't know that I will end up today! ”。

Guan Yu smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Dazai-sama's words are wrong! I led my troops back to Kyoto from the northwest, and I did not meet these two generals, let alone premeditate. As for how the two of them discussed in private, and how they deceived the city gate and besieged the imperial city, I didn't know beforehand. ”

Shi Tiangong raised his head, smiled miserably and said, "I'm all dying, why do you want to hide it from me?!" ”。

Guan Yu's face was calm, and he sat down firmly opposite Shi Tiangong without hurrying or impatience.

He first stared at Shi Tiangong's cheek for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Since I dare to come and see you off for the last time in person, I have a clear conscience. You and I might as well put our hearts up and speak freely. ”

Shi Tiangong narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and brushed his beard and said, "In that case, let me ask you, do you have the intention of plotting to usurp the throne?" ”。

Guan Yu was slightly stunned, then grinned, and waved his hand generously: "Just that stinky and hard dragon chair throne?" Guan is not rare, and he has never taken it to heart! Not in the future. ”

Shi Tiangong frowned and said curiously: "Since ancient times, the emperor and the throne of the world, how many people have gone forward and flocked to it, how can it be said that it is stinky and hard?" ”。

Guan Yu's face was slightly embarrassed, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, but still replied with a smile: "Is this...... And only I knew in my heart why it stinks. Anyway, I've never thought of it, it's from the bottom of my heart! ”。

Shi Tiangong still shook his head in disbelief, and then asked, "Then why do you still risk the world's condemnation and raise an army to rebel?" ”。

Guan Yu sighed softly, straightened up and said, "Guan is completely helpless." The Sprinkle family didn't want to be foolish and loyal, so they went to see the king of Hades with a stomach full of grievances!

Let's be honest: I'm from a different plane. For the moment, it's just a passer-by and a spectator. Guan's only wish: that is, the war will be extinguished as soon as possible in this world, so that the people of the world will suffer less crimes, and there will be a few more days of peace and ease.

I've always been greedy for life and afraid of death. What's more, in my eyes, the so-called loyalty is also divided into loyal and foolish loyalty: the skin does not have hair, and it will be attached? Foolish and loyal people, in addition to giving their lives in vain, only deserve to be used as a laughing stock by the wise men of later generations!

Not everyone has the ambition to be a king. Moreover, I feel more and more that power is an invisible beast that will infinitely unleash the evil thoughts of the human heart. The greater the power, the more distorted human nature seems.

Let's take you and Liu Qian as an example: after Liu Qian ascended the throne, he only thought about arrogance and luxury, and forgot all about the suffering of the people in the world. At the same time, he is suspicious and suspicious, always afraid of others usurping the throne, and the so-called first strike is the strongest, so he plans how to harm others every day.

As for you, Dazai-sama, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, so you are thinking about how to consolidate your position, eliminate dissent, and suppress your colleagues. The two of you not only killed Ma Dashuai, but also Miss Rushuang...... Even Miss Ling'er, who can't even hit the eight poles, refuses to let go! ”。

Shi Tian archer stroked his long hair, blinked his eyes a few times, shook his head as if he didn't understand, and asked hesitantly: "In this way, you have never had the intention of usurping power and messing with the government?" Could it be that the emperor and I are wrong? ”。

Guan Yu nodded heavily and said, "Absolutely not!" Although you and I have eight friendships, I know in my heart: they are just so-called brothers on the lips, and they are not as good as Zhang Baiqian, Du Zhongnian and others. We really pinned our heads to the waistband of our trousers, and experienced the baptism of blood and fire together, so we took care of each other with all our hearts and knew each other's hearts! You don't have to worry: Da Chu will not change banners, the emperor behind him will still be surnamed Liu, and I have always made a promise to someone. ”

Shi Tiangong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes flushed, and he hugged his fists with his back to the sky and said: "If that's the case, under Jiuquan, I can also be regarded as giving an explanation to the first emperor!" ”。

Guan Yu suddenly shook the sleeves of his robe, stood up and walked a few steps, turned his head and said in a loud voice: "The little emperor Liu Huan and his biological mother Wang are working with you to plot to kill the court Zhongliang, and I have ordered them to be deposed. But he will not kill her mother, but only order someone to put her under house arrest in the cold palace and never come back.

The new concubine Shugui was the queen mother, and her son Liu Qi succeeded to the throne. Probably because I have military power, all the ministers in the court and China agreed under pressure, after all, it is still the orthodox Liu family bloodline. You're quite satisfied with this arrangement, right? ”。

Shi Tiangong nodded noncommittally, closed his eyes, and slowly lowered his head.

Guan Yu turned around, stared at Shi Tiangong with a complicated expression for a moment, bowed and said, "Let me call you second brother one last time, the hour is not early, the food box is specially prepared for you, and the wine in the altar is the poisonous wine that you and others have carefully prepared for me." I will not accompany you, little brother, may you go on the road with peace of mind! ”。

Shi Tiangong's sitting body shook slightly, and he quickly regained his composure. Expressionlessly, he reached out and grabbed the jar, filled himself with a glass, held it up with his slightly trembling hands, opened his mouth wide, and drank it all on his back.
