After that, nearly a month passed without wind and waves, and on this day, Han Yan suddenly proposed that in order to celebrate the successor of Yuan Wei Jiangshan in advance, he should give the gift of Taiyuan King Sun Rong Jiuxi, and recall him to Luoyang to be entitled. As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar among the ministers, and many people even accused Han Yan in person of being so eager to ask for Jiuxi for Sun Rong, whether the next step was to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne. But Yuan Rui only smiled indifferently: "Accurate!" ”

The day after the decree was issued, Sun Rong led a team of men and horses into Luoyang City, which shows that he has already sneaked nearby, and his disobedience is obvious. After a brief meeting with Han Yan, Sun Rong prepared to enter the palace to face the saint as usual. Listening to Han Yan talk about Yuan Rui's surprise after receiving the news of his entry into Beijing, he hurriedly ordered to prepare a dinner party, and Sun Rong was so happy that his mouth couldn't close it.

Since Bai Sang's death, the responsibility of commanding the Iron Guard Battalion to protect Sun Rong fell on Sun Wannian's shoulders, and at this moment, seeing that Sun Rong wanted to enter the palace alone with Han Yan, Sun Wannian frowned worriedly and said: "The King of Taiyuan and Han Sikong are weak, and it may be dangerous to enter the palace, so it is better to let his subordinates lead troops to accompany them." ”

At this time, Yuan Rui was no different from fish on the board in Han Yan's eyes, but he could be slaughtered at will, so he said proudly: "The general has never been to Luoyang, I don't know, the palace is no longer Your Majesty's territory, and the guards in the palace are all under the control of General Sun Chaozong, and it should be Your Majesty, not the King of Taiyuan, who should worry about your personal safety!" ”

Sun Wannian wanted to insist any longer, but was stopped by Sun Rong: "Don't worry, look at Your Majesty day and night, if he dares to make any changes, how can we let him live to this day!" ”

"Well said!" Han Yan applauded, "The future lord of the world should have such courage!" ”

"Lord of the world?" Sun Rong squinted at Han Yan, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Han Yan nodded at Sun Rong with great meaning: "It's almost there!" Soon! ”

The two glanced at each other, clapped their palms and laughed, and walked away side by side. Looking at the backs of the two of them, Sun Wannian was still unable to let go, and his eyelids kept jumping.

The carriage of Sun Rong and Han Yan slowly drove into the palace, and at the moment when the palace gate was closed again, several vendors on the street on the side suddenly threw down their business and scattered in different directions, so shocked that the eyes of those customers almost fell out. It took a long time to come back to his senses: "Eh! Don't you want your stuff? ”

A moment later, in the tavern, in the houses, beside the streets, and in the temples, there were white-clothed warriors in twos and threes in almost every corner, rushing towards the Sikong Mansion and the arsenal like thunder. While most people were still unaware of the situation, the two places were surrounded by water.

Sun Wannian's eyelids jumped more and more, and he couldn't help but get up and paced back and forth, as if it was difficult to suppress the uneasiness in his chest if he didn't do so. After two steps, the next person hurriedly reported: "General, it's not good!" Thousands of samurai have descended from the sky and have surrounded Sikong Mansion! ”

"What!" Sun Wannian was surprised, and hurriedly picked up his knife to the gate of the mansion to inspect.

Seeing Sun Wannian appear, the white-clothed warriors facing the gate of the mansion slowly gave way to a passage three or four people wide, and closed it again after Cui Mingyou's wheelchair passed through the rear.

Cui Mingyou arched his hand to Sun Wannian and said, "General Wannian, after a few years, is it still okay?" "It's like a pair of old friends who have been reunited for a long time.

Sun Wannian looked at Cui Mingyou in surprise and inexplicably: "Chongxin Hou? Didn't you go back to Qinghe's hometown? ”

Cui Mingyou smiled: "Cui is the emperor's life, and he doesn't dare to return to his hometown easily." Then Zhengse said, "As a friend, Cui Mou does not want to meet with the general's sword soldiers, but there is no personal affection in front of righteousness, thinking that everyone knows each other, the general should obediently tie his hands and arrest it, don't make it difficult for Cui!" ”

Sun Wannian did not lose his true character as a soldier, but he was still fearless under the siege, and pulled his sword out of the sheath: "Chongxin Hou, you have your righteousness, Sun also has Sun's righteousness, everyone is their master, no need to say more, come on!" ”

Cui Mingyou saw that he had made a choice, so he raised his right hand and said sharply to the warriors under him: "You have been hidden in the mountains for more than a year, and now you have the opportunity to show what you have learned and serve the imperial court. ”

As soon as the words fell, the white-clothed warriors swung their long swords and slashed into it. Rao is Sun Wannian's martial arts are outstanding, and he only resisted them for a moment in front of them, and then he took his "righteousness" to Sun Rong and turned it into a mess of flesh and blood.

At this moment, Sun Rong and Han Yan in the palace didn't know the changes in the outside world, and led Sun Chaozong and other guards to swagger all the way, talking and laughing and rushing to the Yanwu Palace to meet Yuan Rui. Approaching the gate of the palace, Sun Rong waved his hand to stop Sun Chaozong: "You are waiting here, and if there is anything unusual, immediately lead the troops into the palace." ”

The two of them were about to enter, but the door of the temple creaked open from the inside, and a holy decree flashed out of the crack in the door with a hurried expression. Suddenly, seeing the faces of Sun Rong and Han Yan, he was so frightened that he took two steps back, his expression was a little unnatural, he didn't expect the two of them to come so quickly. "King Taiyuan! Han Sikong! After a few moments, he returned to normal, and beckoned to the two of them.

Sun Rong squinted and glanced at the holy decree in his hand: "What kind of will is this?" ”

Reborn smiled slightly: "The prince is about to be born, and Your Majesty is happy, so I issued this decree of amnesty in advance." ”

The three of them glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.

"Hmph, look at him proudly!" Sun Rong's face showed disdain.

Han Yan made a gesture of "please come in": "Why not just make him happy for two days?" He doesn't have a few days to hang up, King Taiyuan, please! ”

The two turned around and entered the hall, and the regeneration breathed a long sigh of relief, calmed down for a while, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and strode away.

Sun Rong saw Yuan Rui sitting alone in the hall, and laughed: "I haven't seen you for a year, Your Majesty is becoming more and more energetic!" ”

Yuan Rui also cordially took Sun Rong's hands: "There are rumors outside that the king of Taiyuan wants to kill the king, it can't be true, right?" ”

Sun Rong and Han Yan didn't expect Yuan Rui to ask such a question as soon as he came, their expressions were extremely embarrassed, and they were stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

"Just kidding! Joke! King Taiyuan, don't go to your heart! Yuan Rui laughed.

Sun Rong responded with a weak heart: "How dare you!" Your Majesty, don't believe the nonsense of villains. ”

But it was said that at this moment, Sun Chaozong led hundreds of guards outside the palace, and just when he was bored, he suddenly found that Rebirth and Tu Hong, the general of the Yulin Army, were also leading hundreds of guards to meet him. Sun Chaozong knew that something was wrong, and pointed to the two of them and drank: "Regeneration, what do you want to do?" Tu Hong, without the general's order, you will call the army without authorization, is it possible that you want to rebel? ”

In the past year, Tu Hong has been holding back his anger, and he replied unceremoniously: "If Lao Tzu doesn't kill you today, it will be a rebellion!" "As he spoke, he had to do it.

"General Tu is calm and impatient, and it is not too late to do it after announcing the holy decree." Regeneration stopped Tu Hong and unfolded the holy decree, "Your Majesty has a decree: my immorality will make it difficult for the country to operate and operate, and the traitor will be in charge." Sun Rong and Han Yan are treacherous and rebellious, plotting rebellion, and their sins are unforgivable. If the remnants of the party can abandon evil and turn to good, go astray, and beg the thief to serve themselves, I will not investigate their past wrongdoing. On the contrary, he is guilty of the same crime as Sun Han. ”

The guards on Sun Chaozong's side showed hesitation when they heard this, looking at Sun Chaozong, and then at Rebirth and Tu Hong, I don't know which side to listen to.

"They are preaching a false decree! Don't listen to them! "Sun Chaozong was already a little angry. As soon as he said this, the guards couldn't help but clench their weapons.

"Brothers! Stop being obsessed! You can't trust your father-in-law, you can't trust General Tu, can't you still trust Lin? Another person walked out behind Tu Hong, dressed in a military uniform, and his posture was heroic. The sharp-eyed guards immediately recognized this weather-faced veteran: "It's General Lin!" ”

This person is Lin Tianyi, the general of Zhengnan, who was secretly summoned to Luoyang by Yuan Rui a month ago, for this moment today. For more than ten years before serving as the general of the expedition to the south and stationed in the south, Lin Tianyi had been in control of the Yulin army of the Great Wei. At this moment, all the guards behind Sun Chaozong, except for a few newly promoted generals, were all his old subordinates, and when they saw him come forward to support Tu Hong, they all unconsciously walked to Tu Hong's side.

"They are all former brothers, and everyone will kill these thieves for Your Majesty!" With Tu Hong's roar, the guards slaughtered Sun Chaozong as if they had been ignited, and instantly devoured the lives of him and a dozen or so hardcore cronies.

There was such a big commotion outside the hall, and the three Yuan Rui in the hall naturally heard it. "There are really no rules, don't you know that we are talking to Your Majesty?" Sun Rong couldn't help but complain about Sun Chaozong, "Sun Chaozong! Sun Chaozong! ”

After shouting several times, Sun Chaozong did not see Sun Chaozong entering, and gradually heard the sound of shouting and killing outside, Sun Rong and Han Yan looked at each other, and a chill rose in their hearts. Han Yan's eyes slowly drifted towards Yuan Rui, signaling Sun Rong to strike first. Sun Rong understood, and suddenly used a throat lock kill, and his right hand probed Yuan Rui's throat like an eagle's claw.
