Spring in Jiangnan came much earlier than in Chang'an, and the weather in March was already a little warm in thick clothes.

Jiangdu Xinggong has strengthened its garrison since we trespassed, and although Yuwen Zhihe now wants me to send it to the door again, the person he is more guarded against should be hateful.

Zimin and I sneaked into the palace at night and searched almost all the dormitories before finally finding Yang Jun.

Since Yanmen Pass he was identified by Yang Guang as having the intention of rebellion, he was locked in prison, and later he couldn't help Queen Xiao licking the calf deeply, so he reluctantly let him out, although he also drove to the Jiangdu Palace, but he was still the most unfavored prince.

He must have known the news of Yang Guang's death, half-leaning on the bed, looking ahead with confused eyes, a wine jug at his feet upside down, describing himself as very depressed.

Seeing his appearance, Zimin jumped in front of Yang Jun first.

Yang Jun didn't know Zimin, but when he saw her being bluffed, he almost fell off the bed, and finally straightened the crown with a cold smile, and asked weakly: "What do you want to do?" He won't come, how many people in this world can remember me? ”

Zimin listened, didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he suddenly looked at me in a panic and called out loudly: "Big brother, go quickly!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, several black shadows flashed from behind Yang Jun's bed curtain, holding a long sword and covering her face with a black scarf.

For some reason, my intuition told me that these people were supposed to be the people of the Seven Non-Killing Villas.

Zimin was surrounded in the center, and I realized that the "he" Yang Jun said was actually referring to me, Yu Wenzhi had long expected that I would come to Yang Yong, and had already set up an ambush here to wait for the rabbit.

Seeing this situation, Yang Jian finally sobered up a little, looked at Zimin in surprise, and said slowly: "Are you Li Jiancheng's person?" Scold! It's rare that he still remembers this king. ”

Zi Min didn't answer his words, only held the Qingyu Pavilion Order tightly, and the two-foot thin blade was obliquely protected in front of him.

"Since you're here, he should be here too, right?" Yuwen Zhi and the rough voice sounded from the side of the hall.

Zi Min said: "I'm the only one." ”

Yuwen Zhiji didn't pay attention to her at all, only looked around the hall and said with a smile: "Li Jiancheng, you don't have to come out, just let your lady accompany His Royal Highness King Qi to the funeral!" ”

When Yang Jian heard this, he struggled to get up and said, "Yuwen Zhiji, what do you want to do?" ”

Yuwen Zhihe laughed and said, "What do I want to do?" Keep you, how can the ministers who still have hope in you support me? ”

After speaking, he said: "Zheng Guanyin, do you know how his last wife died?" Why don't you follow her example and lead the sword to cut yourself, so as not to waste my effort......"

"Click", the sword in my hand stabbed straight to Yuwen Zhiji's face, one of the black-clothed swordsmen surrounding Zimin immediately raised his sword to intersect, and I pierced the sword body, the blade was only inserted into his left face, and before the person could react, I pressed the sword down again, until it cut to his shoulder blade, I looked at him coldly and pulled out the sword.

Yuwen Zhi and mentioned Ruoxiu's death, my chest seemed to be blocked by something, and it was difficult to breathe, so I killed one person, and I didn't have the strength to take a step forward.

Yuwen Zhihe took two steps back, saw that my expression was different, and slashed at me with a single knife, I was able to avoid it, and he pulled the knife again, and I had a pain in my chest, and I was pulled with a bloody mouth.

Seeing this, Zimin didn't care about the crowd around her, and ran towards me, and immediately someone stopped in front of her, and two swords had already stabbed at her.

I clutched my chest and could barely stand up.

Yuwen Zhihe approached me step by step with a knife, and said, "Li Jiancheng, what are you?" My eldest brother will turn against me for you, of course I will kill you! ”

I suddenly thought to myself, no wonder he was scheming against me before I had a feud with Yuwen Zhihe.

"My eldest brother actually said that you are by no means an ordinary person, how extraordinary are you? Everything you think of is in my calculations, huh! ”

With that, he swung his sword at me, and I struggled to raise my sword, but when his blade touched the blade, he suddenly stopped, turned the hilt and slashed at my left arm.

I was forced to retreat by him, and the feeling of annoyance in my chest grew heavier, and at last I could not even lift my sword.

Zimin came to my side out of nowhere, grabbed my right hand and stabbed forward, forcing Yuwen Zhiji to take a step back with one move.

She leaned on my body and couldn't stop panting, I felt the clothes behind me being soaked, with a warmth, and when I turned my head to look at Zimin, she was pale, and it turned out that she was also injured.

In front of him was Yuwen Zhiji and a group of black-clothed swordsmen, and beside him was Zimin, who was already injured, and there was no way to retreat behind him.

I began to regret that I was too reckless, even if I didn't come, Yang Jin couldn't live too long, Yuwen Zhiji's ambition couldn't tolerate him at all, but I was unwilling to let Yang Yong die at the hands of Yuwen Zhiji, I swore a long time ago to kill the enemy.

Between thoughts, Yuwen Zhihe forced forward again.

Zimin gently attached to my ear and said, "Big brother, take care." ”

As he spoke, he pulled me back and stopped me in front of me.

Yuwen Zhiji's knife slashed at the thin-edged sword in Zimin's hand, and the strength was so great that the sword in her hand flew out.

Zimin didn't retreat, allowing Yu Wenzhi and the knife in his hand to slash her left arm.

I only heard Zimin whisper, and then I saw her reach out and hold the back of the knife, flipped her wrist, and flew up and kicked straight at Yuwen Zhiji's front door.

Yuwen Zhi and one hand couldn't take care of both, so he had to withdraw his knife and take two steps back, but he picked up the Qingyu Pavilion Order that fell to the ground and stabbed at Zi Min again.

At this moment, I only felt a light in my left shoulder, and when I looked back, the sword in the hand of a black-clothed swordsman had pierced my shoulder, and the sharp pain made my consciousness a little clearer, and my heart turned horizontally with the sword in my hand and slashed at the man's waist, and he had already been cut in two by me before he could dodge.

Zimin was already powerless to parry, and was injured by Yu Wenzhi and his left shoulder.

Footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall, as if they heard the sound of fighting in the hall, and the footsteps became tighter, but it was Queen Xiao who had come to the hall with the palace people.

When Empress Xiao saw the chaotic scene in the hall, she only shouted: "Tun'er! ”

Yuwen Zhi and Wen Yan glanced back, ignoring Empress Xiao at all, and the sword in his hand went straight to Zimin's throat.

Someone suddenly stood in front of Zimin and picked up Yuwen Zhiji's sword, and said coldly: "The queen mother is here, who dares to be presumptuous?" ”

Yuwen Zhiji gathered his mind at this time, withdrew his sword and sneered, and turned his head to look at Empress Xiao.

Empress Xiao is already more than half a hundred years old, but she is still dignified when she encounters changes, although she has been married to Yang Guang for decades, she still has a unique charm of Jiangnan women.

I looked at her and couldn't help but think of my mother, who had passed away a long time ago.

I am too familiar with the gaze of Empress Xiao looking at Yang Jun, it is the eyes that my mother often looks at me, loving and tolerant.
