Septuagint 4

Previous Chapter

The pouring rain was like a black cloth covering the bloody Shangjing City, and under this black cloth, everyone was just discrediting and advancing.

Zuo Pingzhen wanted to figure out what was going on now, he didn't care about his already soaked body at all, and he didn't care about the dampness and cold air expecting him to drill into his body. Sun Xingben followed behind him, keeping his head down, and the heavy rain in the sky drenched his body.

Zuo Pingjiao almost trotted out of the school grounds, and at the door not far behind him, thousands of palace guards rushed in the opposite direction to Zuo Pingjiao. His feet were covered with rain, and every step he took brought up layers of splashes, and the long boots and cloth shoes on his feet became heavy after being wet by the rain.

There are also layers of high walls outside the palace, and Zuo Ping walked out of the school yard and walked in the corridor between the high walls. As soon as I turned the corner, I saw a few figures faintly emerging from the heavy rain in front of me. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Zuo Pingjiao could only see a distance of about twenty meters, so he wasn't sure who was in front of him?

"Could it be the one sent by the commander?" Zuo Pingzhen shouted with the last glimmer of hope: "Who is coming?" ”

Zuo Pingzhen felt that something was wrong, because he saw more and more people appearing in his sight, hundreds of people appeared in front of him, and the leader also came to Zuo Pingzhen.

"Hahaha, I've been waiting for you here for a long time." A very familiar voice rang out from the opposite side.

"Is that you? Heather! How did you end up here. Zuo Pingjiao secretly clenched the long knife in his hand. Shi Ning was one of the four commanders of the Praetorian Guard, and was named the general of the Zhengsi Light Car. He is also Shi Hongzong's confidant. Zuo Pingzhen and Shi Ning are both military generals in Beijing, and they think they know each other.

I saw that Shi Ning was wearing a silver battle armor, his hair was scattered, and the cloth inside the battle armor was full of pale pink bloodstains. Unconsciously, Zuo Pingzhen was already standing in front of the forbidden soldiers.

Shi Ning sneered: "Traitor, don't subdue the law yet!" Do you want to wait for me Shi to personally take your head? ”

Shi Ning's words were like a life-urging talisman, which made Zuo Pingzhen hit a spirit.

"Shi Ning, do you know what you're talking about?" Zuo Pingjiao had already seen that Shi Ning had come to kill him, but he still couldn't figure out what was going on, how he had fallen into such a situation.

Shi Ning put his hand on the long knife at his waist. "Zhang Zhongshang, the commander of the palace guards, intended to rebel, first murdering the great Sima of the dynasty, and then attempting to murder the saint. Now the Empress Dowager issued an order to kill the traitor Zhang Zhongshang and his henchmen. All the rebels have been killed by us. Bian Wei, the commander of the Tianzi battalion of the palace guards, promptly exposed the conspiracy of Zhang Zhongshang, a traitor, and was rewarded by the empress dowager. What else do you have to say? ”

Zuo Ping's swarthy cheeks twitched constantly. He was shocked by Shi Ning's words, he turned out to be a thief? He didn't know anything, but in just two days, he was about to fall to the ground. He naturally knew that Zhang Zhongshang was the emperor's most trusted eunuch, and no matter who wanted to rebel against him, Zhang Zhongshang would not rebel. At this time, he suddenly thought that two days ago, Zhang Zhongshang suddenly sent him to take over the guards of the palace gate.

Zuo Pingzhen looked at Shi Ning's hideous expression, he knew that it was unlikely that he would get out alive today. But he didn't want to die, at least not to be killed in a real way.

"I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor. I have never been subservient, so why do I want to rebel. I want to see the Holy One! Zuo Pingzhen shouted.

Shi Ning smiled and shook his head: "Rebellion is a felony of the Nine Clans, I gave you a chance to end it yourself, so I told you so much nonsense." It seems that you want to punish your family. Saying that, Shi Ning had already drawn his knife.

Zuo Pingzhen didn't tremble, he didn't even figure out what was going on, he was dead, he was really unwilling. His mind raced nervously, and his mind was thinking about what to do next.

Zuo Pingji quickly turned around and shouted to Sun Xingben beside him: "Quick, go back and transfer troops." "Just now Shi Ning said that the Empress Dowager ordered Zhang Zhongshang to be killed, Zuo Pingjiao quickly captured this information, and he was sure that the emperor didn't know about it, and even if he knew, he would definitely not agree, after all, the palace guards were the pro-army of the Son of Heaven. As long as he can meet the saint face to face, he believes that he can live.

The school yard is only a few hundred meters away, and you can see the gate of the school yard when you turn through this road. As long as they can call the officers and soldiers of the 3,000 Xuanzi Battalion on the school ground, there will still be a glimmer of life.

Sun Xingben was also trembling nervously, and when he saw Zuo Ping's command, he immediately nodded.

Shi Ning watched Zuo Pingzhen turn around and give instructions to Sun Xingben, still standing in place, motionless, as if he was confident.

As soon as Zuo Ping's gray pottery wanted to rush forward, he found that something was wrong, and the thousands of Praetorian Guards in front of him had no intention of stepping forward.

Just when he was suspicious, he felt a trace of cold air passing through his body, and immediately he saw half a sword blade rushing out of his body.

The long sword was inserted from behind him, and behind him were only the subordinates of the palace guards. The blood in his body kept splattering outward, and in an instant, his feet were dyed red.

"Ahh But when he turned around, he saw Sun Xingben's face.

"You, you" "Poof" Sun Xingben pulled out his long sword, Zuo Pingji spat out blood, and slowly fell to the ground. He never imagined that the person who stabbed him in the back turned out to be the person he trusted the most.

The palace guard soldiers standing on the side also stayed in place, and before they could react, the forbidden soldiers had already rushed up, cutting everyone to the ground with random knives, leaving only Sun Xingben alone.

Shi Ning withdrew the knife in his hand from the scabbard, walked up to Sun Xingben with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder.

Shi Ning smiled and said: "Very good, very good, you will be the commander of the Xuanzi Battalion in the future, and with our Shi family, I will ensure that you will not end up with him." ”

Sun Xingben hurriedly knelt down on one knee, "My subordinates are willing to follow the adults and go to the soup to fight the fire." ”

"Hahaha, okay, you can do the rest yourself, appease the three thousand elite soldiers of the Xuanzi Battalion, these people Master Sima will be retained."

Sun Xingben lowered his head and responded: "My subordinates understand, please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely be able to handle this matter well." ”

Shi Ning nodded and said, "Very good." The people listened to the order and immediately returned to the camp. After saying that, he left with the Praetorian Guards, and gradually left the road that was dissatisfied with blood.
