Chapter 412: The Only Death Through the Ages
"Huoshan County Lord Xiao Qingqing ......"
Reading this seemingly unfamiliar name, Emperor Beiyan frowned, and casually threw the song in his hand on the table. And just a moment before this joint recital from Swallow City to impeach Wu Rong, the captain of Wuwei, he had just gotten the news of the riot in the capital.
The right phase and the left phase, who was actually extremely slightly injured, joined forces, plus He Jintong and Xu Houcong used the forbidden army, Kang Le and Xiao Changheng teamed up to purge the Autumn Hunting Division, and finally suppressed the rebellion of King Wuling, released the two Shenwu generals who were pretended to be under house arrest, and restored order in the capital.
But afterwards, when those people went to the most fierce attack and defense of the Jin Palace, they found that Xiao Jingxian was gone!
And Zhen Rong, who had been sticking to the Jin Palace, fighting with the palace guards to the end, and trying to ensure that the Jin Palace, was questioned by several people, and directly took out Xiao Jingxian's handwritten letter. Right now, the letter is on his desk.
The emperor didn't believe what Xiao Jingxian said at all, and he was held hostage by Yue Qianqiu. He knew very well that as long as Xiao Jingxian was unwilling, Yue Qianqiu would have a thousand more eyes, and it would be impossible to take people out of the capital by one step!
But just when he was quite hesitant to secretly return to the capital immediately, Swallow City, which was only two hundred miles away from Xinle City, actually sent such a thing that was not big or small.
A school captain with a mere management of 800 people has dared to be powerful for ten years, whether it is the military department or the autumn hunting division, the files have always been excellent in evaluation, and even because he has always made an exceptional appointment to talents, completed marriage, and paid attention to a county lord!
Xiao Qingqing...... For so many years, she has been in the dragon for so many years, but she didn't expect to be in Swallow City at this time, ......" The emperor muttered to himself, and finally ordered in a deep voice, "Call the King of Lanling County and Zhen Rong in!" ”
and the messenger of Shangjing City who was sent to Xinle City to see the emperor at the same time, as well as Zhen Rong.
In fact, when the chaos in Shangjing, which lasted for four days, was finally calmed down, it was found that Xiao Jingxian and Yue Qianqiu had disappeared together. And the detention of Zhen Rong alone has become impossible to enforce because of Yue Xiaosi's tough attitude.
In the end, after discussing with Kang Le, He Jintong agreed to the proposal of the king of Lanling County - he would escort Zhen Rong to see the emperor together, and let the emperor decide whether to live or die!
Changing horses for nearly two days and one night, Zhen Rong was not only dusty and tired at this moment, but more importantly, he had been fighting hard for several days before, and the whole person was almost at the limit. Therefore, he was left outside waiting to be summoned, if it weren't for the fact that there was Xiao Changjun, the king of Lanling County, talking to him nagging and talking to him, he couldn't know if his shaky self would fall headlong.
But it was precisely because of the previous Libao and his attitude at this time, although Erjie did not come, he believed in the previous Erjie and Yue Qianqiu's hints to him in his heart. This king of Lanling County is really inextricably linked to the south, otherwise why would he defend him?
"King of Lanling County, Zhen Rong, summoned by the emperor."
This abrupt sound pulled Zhen Rong back from the confusion. He barely bothered to muster up, but he hadn't taken two steps forward before he couldn't help but stumble. If it weren't for the hand next to him grabbing him at the right time, he was afraid that he would fall directly to the ground. Before he could say anything grateful, a laugh rang out in his ears.
"I thought you were beaten with iron! Before killing King Wuling's henchmen and guards and the people of the Shenwu Camp he bought, he was bleeding like a river, and then rushed here with me without sleep, and it was like no one, it turns out that you are also dead! But it's good to die, I like stubborn boys...... Come on, don't be hypocritical, I'll help you in, but I didn't fight as hard as you in the past few days! ”
Zhen Rong felt a solid supporting force coming from his arm, and couldn't help but lose his mind slightly, and then involuntarily said that he stepped forward with the other party. Although the voice next to him only praised his extraordinary martial arts, and was willing to lead the palace guards to protect the Jin Palace's mansion after being left behind, he seemed to hear deep concern and a faint reminder from those words.
Whether you live or die, everything depends on what kind of attitude you have when you see Emperor Beiyan!
When Emperor Beiyan saw the two people who came in, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. I saw Xiao Changjun, the king of Lanling County, holding Zhen Rong with a big face, and the young man he had seen who was fashionable and standing tall in bare-handed bear fighting, but at this moment, his steps were vain, he was haggard, and his clothes were dusty, as if he was still stained with large stains.
And for him, who kills Yingye, that kind of thing will not be mistaken no matter what-it is the bloodstain after the killing.
He was slightly stunned, seeing that Xiao Changheng had already let go, he stepped forward and saluted first, and then as if he understood what he meant, he moved directly to the side and stood aside, he lowered his face and asked, "What are you hiding, I haven't asked you yet!" ”
Yue Xiaosi was not intimidated by this cold face at all, and said with a smile: "The emperor can ask the ministers whenever he wants, but Zhen Rong can't hold it." Besides, the disappearance of King Jin is even more important, please ask him first. ”
When the emperor saw Zhen Rong standing there, he was clearly embarrassed, but his calm and depressed face vaguely revealed extreme frustration, and his eyes were gloomy, as if he was so confused when the shoulder tattoo was seen. Moreover, compared with the previous etiquette, as if he regarded death as home, Zhen Rong stood silently from beginning to end from entering the house to the present, and never saluted.
He suddenly pushed the handrail and stood up, and walked straight in front of the boy. He stared at those eyes sharply, and seeing that there was no ripple at all, he asked coldly: "They are gone, leaving you in the tank, this is a mortal situation, aren't you afraid?" ”
"After I came back from the Wuling King's Courtyard, I found that they were all gone." Zhen Rong knew that telling a lie in front of a person like Emperor Beiyan, who was as strong as iron, would definitely be exposed immediately, and it would make everything go to waste, so he tried his best to warn himself, only say those truths, and try his best to immerse himself in the despair of being abandoned.
At the first words, he hung his head in pain, his eyes already a little blurry.
"At that time, Shangjing City was already under martial law, and there was no official above the third grade as a guarantee, so I couldn't fly even if I had wings, and those palace guards got along well with me before, if they found out that Xiao Jingxian and Yue Qianqiu suddenly disappeared so mysteriously, then there would be chaos, and the entire Jin Palace's mansion would definitely be razed to the ground by those who hated Xiao Jingxian, and there would only be more people who died!"
"Whether the emperor believes it or not, whether there is Xiao Jingxian's letter or not, I will do it." With a miserable laugh, Zhen Rong raised his head again and looked directly into the emperor's eyes without dodging, "Since the left and right are just a death, then I might as well take them to fight, and it can be regarded as the last thing to do a little bit and save a few people!" ”
"Didn't you think that even if you saved them at that time, I would still kill all the guards in Xiao Jingxian's mansion to make an example?"
Zhen Rong's face suddenly turned pale. It was a long time before he said in a hoarse voice, "I don't have time to think about it, and I don't want to think about it." Ever since the tattoo on my left arm was seen, I knew that there was no place for me, north or south! They are the same, the abandoned son who was left behind is involuntarily born and died, in this case, why fight hard? ”
"So, you're bent on dying?"
Seeing that the emperor's gaze was fixed, and that look stabbed towards Zhen Rong's eyes like substance, Yue Xiaosi only felt a heart skip a beat.
Of course, he could see that the emperor's questions were all heavily hammered on Zhen Rong's mental defense, and at this time, he concentrated the powerful spirit and spirit accumulated over many years of being the king and killing the enemy on his eyes, as long as the willpower was a little weaker, he was afraid that he would pour out all the words in his heart like pouring beans!
Zhen Rongke must not fall at this level...... Otherwise, it will be for the sake of the mountain, and the success will fall short!
Although he couldn't see Yue Xiaosi's expression, Zhen Rong's reaction was cold and calm: "The ants are still greedy, let alone me?" But I don't have anywhere to go, so I don't have any luxuries. I did everything I could, and I asked myself to be worthy of Dawu, worthy of the master, worthy of any person in the Great Wu Mission, and worthy of the guards of the Jin Palace. Since everything that can be done has been done, now, I am just by virtue of the emperor. ”
At this time, the smaller Quartet was relieved. Seeing that the emperor's eyes changed slightly, the chill around him seemed to be even worse, but he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly flashed over.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Jingxian and Yue Qianqiu, as well as the remaining people of the Southern Dynasty Mission, I don't know what happened to the disappearance, but Zhen Rong at least had some merits in the previous Shangjing Rebellion. After all, he took the disciples of the Shengong Sect to grab the fox tail of King Wuling, and dragged the elite of the Shenwu Battalion who had long been bought by King Wuling in the Jin Palace, buying time for the left and right ministers to eradicate King Wuling......"
The emperor who turned his head to look at Yue Xiaosi and smiled: "What do you want to say, be direct, don't beat around the bush!" ”
"That's what the minister said." Yue Xiaosi is not a person who retreats from difficulties, as soon as he pressed Zhen Rong's shoulder, he said with sparkling eyes, "The emperor is even willing to accept Xu Houcong and Shengongmen, so why is Zhen Rong, a sincere young warrior with extraordinary martial arts, abandoned?" Besides, it's likely that he's really my Big Swallow...... No, it's the Great Yan Imperial Family! ”
Seeing that the emperor didn't squeak, he continued to say seductively: "Moreover, leaving him is equivalent to making the treachery of the Southern Dynasty mission public!" It is simply despicable and shameless to survive by abandoning your companions! ”
Seeing that Zhen Rong's face was getting more and more pale to the point that there was no blood at all, the emperor slowly walked back to the central seat, and after sitting down, he asked unhurriedly, "Are you recommending Zhen Rong?" You should know that if anything goes wrong with him that day, you, the host, will sit together! ”
"The minister still has this eye for people!" Yue Xiaosi saw that there was a play, and his heart was overjoyed, but he said nonchalantly, "The emperor has always cherished talents, and it is because of this that the minister has today, so he wants to learn." If the emperor is worried that there is no place to place him, the minister has a bold idea! The wife and daughter of the courtiers are all dead, and if you want to accept a righteous son, is the emperor willing to fulfill it? ”
