"Ahh A miserable scream sounded, An Lushan was awakened by severe pain, he couldn't see, he could only grope with his hands, but he didn't touch the scimitar hanging above his head, and he understood everything in an instant.

"What dog thief is so bold? I'm going to tear you to pieces. An Lushan roared.

Li Zhu'er stabbed the scimitar down hard, and shook the blade, stirring with the blade in An Lushan's stomach and abdomen.

"Who are you? Why did you assassinate me? An Lushan roared angrily.

"Your Majesty, you ...... Do you remember how my parents died? Do you remember how you tortured me? My whole life has been ruined by you. You're like a pig and a dog to me. Today I want to avenge myself and my family...... Avenge! ”

Li Zhu'er gasped, pulled out his scimitar and stabbed it here. This time it pierced under the chest and pierced the ribs.

An Lushan struggled violently, and scolded angrily: "Dog slave and maid, you dare to assassinate, who instructed you?" I'm going to light the sky lantern with a thousand knives for you. You slave, I hurt so much, stop it. ”

Li Zhu'er didn't answer, his eyes were blood-red, and he desperately pressed the scimitar and pierced An Lushan's fat body. Suddenly, An Lushan didn't know where to give birth to an evil energy, regardless of the sharp blade, he jumped up suddenly, and grabbed Li Zhu'er's neck with his big yellow hairy hand, and then clamped it tightly like an iron tong.

"Lao Tzu strangled you, Lao Tzu strangled you a dog slave. Come on, come on, escort and escort. An Lushan shouted loudly.

Li Zhu'er didn't expect An Lushan to be so brave when he was pierced through the abdomen by himself, and he accidentally choked his neck. He couldn't break free, so he could only stab An Lushan in the body with a knife. But An Lushan's big hand was tightly wrapped around his neck like an iron hoop, making him unable to breathe. Slowly, the tip of his tongue spit out, and his eyes began to roll up.

At this moment, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, a noisy sound sounded, and after a while, Li Zhu'er felt that the hand on his neck was slowly released, he took a deep breath, and finally returned to his soul.

The next moment, he saw what shocked him, and saw a man slamming a black object into the bed. Every time it was smashed, a lot of blood popped up, and something came from it

The click of cracking. Li Zhu'er saw the man's back clearly, it was An Qingxu, the king of Jin, who was holding a large incense burner in his hand, and was slamming towards An Lushan on the bed.

"Lord Jin, stop. Your Majesty is already dead, no need to smash it anymore. Yan Zhuang whispered in a hoarse voice.

An Qingxu gasped and stopped, turned around, his face was covered with blood, and he looked like a ghost. The incense burner he was carrying was also covered in blood, sticky with hair, skin, and something black.

Li Zhu'er looked at the bed in shock, and he was so frightened that his soul flew away. An Lushan's huge head on the bed was already like a rotten watermelon. The whole face collapsed, black blood and ** were gurgling out, and the scene was terrifying.

"Your Highness!" Yan Zhuang shouted.

As soon as An Qingxu's hand was released, the incense burner fell on the carpet with a 'clang', making a dull sound. At the same time, An Qingxu's legs were weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, sweating profusely all over his body, and he had no strength at all.

"Your Highness, it's over, it's over." Yan Zhuang said in a low voice.

"Father, he ...... Is he dead? An Qingxu muttered.

"Your Majesty is dead, completely dead." Yan Zhuang said busily.

An Qingxu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood all of a sudden. said in a loud voice: "Mr. Yan, from now on, the Great Yan Kingdom will be mine." This old thing is finally dead, and you want to kill me, phew! I'll kill you first. I followed you to conquer the four corners and lay a foundation for you, and not only did you not thank me, but you killed me. Bah, you old thing, you damn it! You're a big damn one. ”

An Qingxu stood up and complained and scolded at An Lushan's messy corpse. After gritting his teeth, he suddenly burst into tears again. After all, he killed his father with his own hands, and he was both frightened and happy, and at the same time very remorseful. These emotions are intertwined, and they almost turn An Qingxu into a madman.

"You fool, you knife in your hand, but you almost killed yourself. Don't you know what is going to hurt you? But you want to prick your stomach? If we hadn't heard something was wrong and rushed in, you would have been a corpse. Idiot, idiot. Yan Zhuang, such a gentle and elegant person, also scolded Li Zhu'er angrily without hesitation.

Li Zhu'er trembled and got up, swallowed and spitted at the mouth: "Slave, slave and maid are the first time to kill someone, besides...... Besides, Your Majesty. I didn't dare to look at his face, nor did I dare to approach him, so I could only stab with my eyes closed. Mr. Yan forgives sins, Mr. Yan forgives sins! ”

Yan Zhuang snorted coldly and shouted, "Why don't you hurry up and cook?" Is there a dark compartment under the dragon bed? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Zhu'er said busily. Shaking his body, he came to the side of the dragon bed, stretched out his trembling hand to push An Lushan's messy corpse into the bed, and reached out to grope on the bloody bed board. After a while, there was a click, and the thick plate under the dragon's bed was lifted, revealing a long dark grid. Not only does the dragon bed have a secret compartment, but all large families and officials have hidden compartments under their beds, which is not surprising that this is designed to hide here in times of crisis.

"Mr. Yan, do me a favor." Li Zhu'er shouted.

Yan Zhuang frowned and stepped forward to help open the dark grid, and the two of them worked together to roll An Lushan's heavy corpse, and with a bang, An Lushan's body fell into the dark grid. The dark grid was too narrow for An Lushan, and his body stiffened in it and exposed most of it. Yan Zhuang and Li Zhu'er closed their eyes and stuffed it randomly, and finally stuffed An Lushan completely. Cover the bed slats.

Next, Li Zhu'er rolled up the bloodstained bedding on the bed and stuffed it under the bed, and put a new futon on the bed. Stuff the pillow in the futon and disguise it as if you are sleeping in it. I lit a few more incense pieces and burned them to hide the smell of blood in the house. After being busy for a long time and seeing that there were no obvious flaws, Li Zhu'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Yan, what now?" Li Zhu'er said.

Yan Zhuang had just helped An Qingxu, who was in a daze, change the bloody clothes on his body, and then injected water to clean all the blood stains on his face. An Qingxu's mood also calmed down a lot. Listening to Li Zhu'er's question, he said solemnly and solemnly: "Take out all the jade seals and Your Majesty's seals, and polish the ink for me." I want to draw up the purpose. ”

Li Zhu'er agreed, and took out the jade seal and other things hidden in the bedside table by An Lushan, and laid the four treasures of the study on the case. Sharpen the ink for Yan Zhuang with quick hands and feet.

Yan Zhuang's face was gloomy, he held a brush and muttered for a long time, brushing and brushing to write two holy decrees, and Li Zhu'er was holding the jade seal and the seal one by one.

Yan solemnly sighed, looking at the two inked holy decrees and was about to speak, they heard the sound of footsteps outside. Yan Zhuang was stunned, and hurriedly glanced at Li Zhu'er, Li Zhu'er hurriedly came to the door of the room and lifted the curtain to come out, and what he glimpsed was seven or eight guards with weapons, so frightened that he was about to shrink his head subconsciously.

"Li Neishi, what's wrong with you? What about Your Majesty? "It was the Praetorian Guard General Li Guiren and several personal guards who came in.

"General Li, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, He is asleep." Li Zhu'er said in a panic.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that Your Majesty was summoning Yan Zhuang and King Jin? Why do you say he's asleep again? Li Guiren frowned.

"Oh, yes, yes, Your Majesty is talking to Mr. Yan and King Jin. The slave maid just wanted to say that, but her mouth was bald, and she said that she was asleep. Li Zhu'er was busy prevaricating.

"Why are you so unwilling? It's weird. Li Guiren said.

"Where is there a god who does not keep his word? Oh yes, His Majesty scolded a few words just now, but I was a little uneasy in my heart, presumably because of this. Li Zhu'er said.

"Oh, I see. Isn't it normal for Your Majesty to reprimand? It is also appropriate for us to be scolded by His Majesty as courtiers, do you still have a problem in your heart? That's right, Lee. Your Majesty, when did he want you to summon King Jin and Yan Zhuang? Why didn't I know about this? Your Majesty said that the king of Jin was not allowed to attack the driver, why did he suddenly summon him again tonight? Li Guiren looked at Li Zhu'er with blazing eyes and said.

The reason why Li Guiren suddenly arrived was that he saw Captain Jiang on duty outside the hall when he was checking the post just now. Hearing that Captain Najiang said that Yan Zhuang and King Jin were summoned, he was very puzzled. Li Guiren understands the current situation, His Majesty wants to pass on the King of Yan, and he has no longer summoned the King of Jin, how can he suddenly summon him at this time, this is very suspicious, so he came in to take a look.

"This ...... It was evening, and His Majesty ordered me to deliver the decree......" Li Zhu'er could only lie nonsense.

"Nonsense, I accompanied Your Majesty to dinner in the evening, and I didn't leave until the first shift, why did Your Majesty let you go to deliver the decree?" Li Guiren frowned and shouted.

"Oh, that's my mistake, it was ordered by His Majesty after the first shift." Li Zhu'er hurriedly changed his words.

Li Guiren was even more suspicious in his heart, frowned and stepped forward, stared at Li Zhu'er and said, "Li Zhu'er, what are you doing?" Are you hiding something from me? Your Majesty didn't let you pass the decree at all, did you? You're lying, aren't you? Say! What the hell are you doing? ”

Li Zhu'er's body trembled, and he didn't know how to answer. There was already a ghost in his heart, but at this moment, the lie was exposed again, and his expression was even more flustered and suspicious. Li Guiren realized that something was wrong, and he didn't pay attention to him anymore, and he was about to walk to An Lushan's bedroom. When he arrived at the door, suddenly the curtain of the door was lifted, and he walked out solemnly holding a holy decree in his hand.

"General Li, what are you doing?" Yan Zhuang looked at Li Guiren, who was about to enter the door, and frowned.

"Mr. Yan, I'm going to see Your Majesty." Li Guiren arched his hand.

"Your Majesty is talking to King Jin, don't disturb it." Yan solemnly said in a deep voice.

"Oh? Are Your Majesty and King Jin talking? Then I won't bother, I'll just take a look. Li Guiren said.

Yan Zhuang frowned and said, "What's there to see?" We are not allowed to sit in on the conversation between His Majesty and the King of Jin. ”

"I said, just a glance. Just take a look at the door. Li Guiren said.

Yan Zhuang frowned and smacked his lips and said: "That's it, don't say that Your Majesty blames me for not reminding you, if you like to watch it, even if you go to stand next to Your Majesty's bed, I have no opinion." ”

Li Guiren sneered, lifted the curtain and went in, but his body was still outside the door. He also knew that if it was really a private conversation between His Majesty and King Jin, it would definitely not be appropriate for him to be there. Therefore, he only showed half of his face, His Majesty's eyes could not see, as long as he did not notice, there was nothing to worry about.

His Majesty's bedroom was neat, and although the smell of sandalwood was very strong, Li Guiren knew that there was no way to cover up the smell of His Majesty's sores. Through the two layers of curtains, you can vaguely see King Jin sitting on the edge of the bed leaning over and whispering. His Majesty's dragon bed was bulging, and it seemed that His Majesty had already sat up.

Everything was calm, Li Guiren was relieved, and before An Qingxu, the king of Jin, turned his head, Li Guiren hurriedly retracted his head.

Yan Zhuang looked at Li Guiren quietly and said, "General Li is at ease now?" You have been an errand boy by His Majesty's side for many years, why are you still so curious? I don't know if there are some things you can't be curious about? ”

Li Guiren smiled: "No way, it's just so curious, I can't change this problem." ”

Yan Zhuang smiled and said, "It's better not to be too curious." General Li, this is a holy decree just issued by His Majesty, and it happens to be related to you. Since you are so curious, do you want to look at this decree, I am about to send someone to deliver it. ”

Li Guiren was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Yan Zhuang unfolded the holy will in front of Li Guiren. Li Guiren read it quickly, and said in amazement: "This ...... Why is that? How could Your Majesty do this? It is enough for me to have my Praetorian Guard in the palace, why do I need to transfer 50,000 soldiers and horses from outside the city into the city to protect the palace? ”

Yan Zhuang said coldly: "Your Majesty's will, can I explain it to you?" You and my courtiers just have to do it. Please send someone to inform the Eastern City Gate Control Army immediately, and you must not prevent soldiers and horses from entering the city. Starting tonight, the palace guards will be accepted by my men. You follow Your Majesty's will and focus on guarding the gates of Luoyang and the security in the city. ”

Li Guiren frowned and was silent. Yan Zhuang said: "What? Does General Li want to resist the order? Or you can go in and ask Your Majesty personally. I can wait here for you to ask. ”

Yan Zhuang turned sideways and pointed to the door of An Lushan's bedroom. Li Guiren frowned and thought about it, he really wanted to go in and ask An Lushan what this strange will meant. But he knew An Lushan's temper, and whoever dared to disobey the holy decree would immediately turn his face. He hated others for not obeying his holy decree the most, which was a great taboo known to all those who knew An Lushan.

After a moment of silence, Li Guiren suddenly waved his hand and smiled: "That's it, the holy decree has been promulgated, what else do you ask?" Yes. So I sent to the gates of the city to tell them to let them go. The responsibility of guarding this palace will be handed over to you, and I, Li Guiren, will not care about it from now on. ”

Yan Zhuang smiled and said: "General Li, I still have to hand it over to you to guard the palace, and I will lead the army to the south in the near future, and I still have to hand it over to you here." Your Majesty just hopes to adjust the guarding of the palace. When I persuade Your Majesty to allow me to go on the expedition, Your Majesty's safety will be in the hands of you, General Li. Therefore, General Li should not slacken and be ready to take over the security affairs of the palace at any time. ”

"Well said, well said! I will take my leave. Li Guiren smiled with his hands, waved his hand, and walked away with seven or eight guards.

Li Guiren left, Yan Zhuang let out a long breath, and before he knew it, his clothes were wet. Without further ado, at this moment, it is necessary to immediately mobilize troops and horses from outside the city into the city, otherwise after a long time, once Li Guiren reacts, things will be out of control.

Yan Zhuang immediately asked Li Zhu'er to go out of the city with the holy decree to announce the decree, and he continued to hide in An Lushan's bedroom with An Qingxu and pretended to talk to An Lushan. Yan Zhuang is still calm, at least on the surface, An Qingxu is not so calm, looking at the empty dragon bed, thinking about An Lushan's corpse in the dark grid, he always feels that his father seems to be alive at any time. Every slight sound in the room was enough to make An Qingxu look around in shock, like a frightened bird.

The time of more than an hour is as long as a lifetime. Finally, there was a lot of footsteps outside the hall and noisy voices, Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu both stood up and looked at the door of the bedroom. The sound of armor rubbing against swords sounded, and it seemed that many people had come to the outside world, and Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu's hearts were extremely nervous. These people were obviously armor soldiers wearing armor and carrying weapons, and they were either their own people or Li Guiren's people. If it is Li Quyren's person, it means that the matter has been exposed, and everything will end in failure. If it's your own, then you can declare it done.

Both of them listened to the movement outside with bated breath, listening to whether the first words were their own or Li Guiren, their hearts were beating violently, their hands were clenched into fists and clenched tightly, and their breathing almost stopped.

"Weichen Li Yu is ordered to meet Your Majesty." A hoarse voice came in from outside the door, and when he heard this voice, Yan Zhuang's heart was relieved, and he almost fainted. Li Yu is the deputy marshal of the Southern Army, and it is his cronies who have been single-handedly promoted, and when he enters the palace, it means that the 50,000 Southern Army has entered the palace.

Yan Zhuang calmly hurriedly walked out of An Lushan's bedroom, but saw more than a dozen generals standing high and low outside, and it was a group of middle and senior generals of his own southern army who had arrived.

Seeing Yan Zhuang appear, the generals bowed their hands. Yan Zhuang returned the salute and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has just fallen asleep, don't disturb loudly." Li Yu, have all the soldiers and horses entered the city? ”

Li Yu hurriedly said: "Marshal Yan, 50,000 soldiers and horses have already entered the city, waiting for the marshal to fall." ”

Yan Zhuang nodded and said in a deep voice: "Immediately surround the palace, you personally lead 20,000 soldiers and horses into the palace and hand over to the Praetorian Guard." From now on, all the defense inside and outside the palace will be entrusted to our Southern Army. ”

Li Yu arched his hand and said, "Obey." But in the palace
