Before Mu Zhijing arrived outside the palace, she heard someone outside shouting: "The Mu family is plotting rebellion!" Murder of His Majesty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info soldiers, release the arrows, release the arrows! ”

Whoosh whoosh -

Fortunately, Mu Zhijing's guards were first-class and battle-hardened, so they reacted quickly and immediately closed the palace gate and distributed defenses inside. Outside the door, "Tuk!" Sincere! Sincere! The sound continued, needless to say, it was the sound of a crossbow bolt falling on the door. It is estimated that the gate is already full of crossbow arrows.

The soldiers outside the door were not joking, they were quite good at archery. The Guards have already wounded quite a bit.

"Governor, we can't rush out at all, the crossbows outside are too strong."

"Governor, the front of the palace, on the left and right sides of the palace are ambushes, and there is no news from the back, but I guess this must be the case. We are under siege. If you want to ask for a living, you can only break through. ”

Mu Zhijing led dozens of guards to try to break through several times, but after all, she lost her troops and returned in vain.

"The army outside is unusual, they don't seem to care who is inside. The eldest prince is going to fight hard this time. ”

Several breakthroughs were unsuccessful, and there were more and more troops outside. And Mu Zhijing's 2,000 guards have already sacrificed as many as four or five hundred, and some of them have been seriously wounded. This is simply a slaughterhouse surrounded by ironclad armies and crossbows.

But Cayun XVI struggled to see Mu Zhijing at this critical time. Mu Zhijing estimated the time, but she didn't dare to see it. Because it could be the last time at any time.

Cayun XVI said, "I have a way to keep you safe. ”

"Your Majesty has a way? What is it? Mu Zhijing's spirit was shocked.

Kayun XVI said slowly: "Whatever the rebel wants, I will give it to him." If he gets it, he won't embarrass you. ”

Mu Zhijing stepped back two steps: Cayun XVI wanted to abdicate, and he wanted to use the throne to trade with the eldest prince before he died. But soon, Mu Zhijing shook her head, and the throne of the Far Eastern Empire in front of her was already in the pocket of the eldest prince. How could the eldest prince exchange what belonged to him for his enemies?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is no room for compromise at the moment." Mu Zhijing pointed to the corpse outside, gritted her teeth and said, "My soldiers, they must not die in vain like this." ”

Cayun XVI was anxious, and he said, "This is the only way." Otherwise, he will definitely say that you hurt me. He will turn you into a rebellious sinner, and you will become a man of all means, and you will be ruined. Do you know the consequences? ”

Mu Zhijing gritted her teeth, her arrogant chest rose and fell, obviously struggling violently in her heart. After a long while, she said, "Okay, then I'll escort Your Majesty out!" ”

Cayun XVI personally tidied up his appearance, and he was afraid that he had lived for so long and it was the first time he had done it himself. With Mu Zhijing's support, His Majesty Kayun walked out to the palace gate step by step.

By this time the guards had already received the order and shouted loudly: "Stop! Stop it! Your Majesty is inside! "Your Majesty has arrived!" "Which army is on the other side? Don't your majesty recognize it? If any of you injure Your Majesty with your crossbow, you will slaughter your entire clan. ”

The guards inside shouted for a while, and the ambush soldiers outside didn't know whose order they received, and then the rain of arrows stopped.

Mu Zhijing selected a group of good players to cover Kayun XVI. Slowly, the gate outside the palace was opened. Far away, the gates were filled with crossbow arrows. Rows of cold-faced ambush soldiers were still holding crossbows, aiming at the palace.

Mu Zhijing didn't dare to approach, but shouted: "I am Mu Zhijing, and I am now protecting Your Majesty's Holy Driver." Get out of the way! Who is the prefect present? Come out and obey! ”

Mu Zhijing shouted two sentences, but the ambush soldiers on the opposite side did not move, as if they hadn't heard it at all. Standing in front of them is His Majesty Kayun, do they really want to release arrows? Mu Zhijing's heart sank again. These ambushes are definitely not something that can be moved by lip service.

Cayun XVI suddenly was not afraid of life and death, he was the Son of Heaven, and naturally he had a momentum that others could not imitate. He cried out, "Your sir, call him out!" ”

Cayun XVI himself shouted, and several of the ambushers in front of him glanced at each other, and one of them turned back to the rear of the group without saying a word. In a few moments, a bearded officer pushed away the ambush and almost came out of the pile of crossbow arrows.

The bearded officer glanced at the other side, did not salute, and shouted, "Rebel, what do you have to say?" Put down your weapons first and obediently bow to the law. When the time comes, you will be asked to say enough. ”

Kayun XVI snorted and said, "Don't pretend to be a ghost in front of me, I want your real chief to come out and see me." Just go. ”

The bearded officer's cheeks moved, turned and left.

This time, both sides waited for a long time. The crossbow arrows of the dense ambush soldiers were aimed at Kayun XVI and Mu Zhijing. After a long time, there was a sudden sound behind me. The ambush slowly carved out a path.

At the forefront is the current royal prince.

He walked to the front slowly, but did not salute Kayun XVI, puffed up his chest, and was righteous and awe-inspiring: "The rebel of the Mu family, you killed my father." What else is there to quibble about now? ”

Kayun XVI shouted angrily and said, "Rebel, I am not dead yet, and you are going to turn a blind eye to me?" ”

The eldest prince glanced at Kayun XVI and said lightly: "Mu Yichen, where did you get this stand-in who looks like my father's emperor?" Think you can fool me? It's good. If you have any quibbles today, just say it. ”

Kayun XVI said: "Actually, sooner or later, this throne will be yours. I was right before, I'm really old, too old to move. But the Mu family is not at fault. You want military power, you want property. Go ahead and get it. But you still regard me as your father, listen to me, don't embarrass the Mu family's clansmen, let alone mutilate their lives. The Mu family is the most loyal ally of the royal family. ”

The eldest prince stood quietly, as if he was expounding the trump card in his hand: "The Mu family is plotting rebellion, and they have had strange thoughts about our royal family early on. Although my father was unfortunately gone, fortunately, thanks to my father's holy decree, I was able to bring the entire sinners of the Mu family. ”

Mu Zhijing was angry and broke out: "You locked up my clansmen, what are you going to do?" ”

"Naturally, I'm going to catch you, a rebellious criminal. You have a self-respecting army, and when the two countries were at war, you actually launched a rebellion, plotted to seize the throne, and killed Your Majesty......"

"Enough!" Cayun XVI shouted angrily. He broke free from Mu Zhijing's support and rushed forward. The soldiers around the eldest prince were all startled, as if they stepped forward to protect them, but the eldest prince immediately stretched out his hand to stop them. Cayun XVI was alone, in the midst of this dense crossbow arrows, he stubbornly walked in front of the eldest prince, held a trembling palm, fanned down with one palm, and gave the eldest prince a resounding slap: "Rebel!" You're pushing the empire of the royal family to ruin! ”

The eldest prince didn't dodge or dodge, and let him fight. After this palm, one side of his face immediately turned red, his eyes did not dodge, and he said straightly, "Since I was a child, I have listened to my father's teachings to meet in troubled times, and to grasp it fiercely." Now, as long as I seize this opportunity, I will be able to make the entire Far Eastern Empire look new. I had to do it. No one can stop it. ”

His Majesty Kayun said in a deep voice and resolutely: "You let all the people of the Mu family go, and promised me not to embarrass them again." I will give you the throne now. ”

The eldest prince frowned, and he was about to speak, but Mu Zhijing, who looked at Mu Zhijing behind Kayun XVI, slowly calmed down again, and said, "If the Mu family is not removed, it will be difficult for me to sleep peacefully." At the very least, I'm going to take away their military power, and I'm going to make them ruined, and they will never have a chance to turn over. ”

Even if Mu Zhijing has a temper, she has to endure it now, gritting her teeth and saying, "What happened to your family?" What about my grandfather? Where is he now? Is it still alive? Speaking of this, Mu Zhijing suddenly became ruthless: "I, Mu Zhijing, swear, if you dare to kill my family, I will definitely let you be buried with you." ”

The eldest prince sneered twice and stretched out his hand to the side. The soldier standing beside him understood, and immediately handed over two items. The eldest prince took it in his hand, threw it twice, and ran towards Mu Zhijing hard. "You know this kind of belongings better than I do. Don't resist, rebellion will only make you never want to end. ”

Mu Zhijing took it, and just knew that it was his parents' thing. Since she was a child, she has lived like an orphan, and that's because for this Mu family, Mu Zhijing's parents and family are living in a special place. More certainly, it was brought by the royal family.

Externally, Mu Zhijing has no parents. It is impossible for the royal family to let the people of the world know about the people of the Mu family. I only asked Mu Zhijing to see him once a month. Such a "quid pro quo" has existed for hundreds of years.

Mu Zhijing seemed to have thought of such a thing a long time ago, and said in a deep voice: "I can give you the military power you want." This was originally the army that belonged to your royal family. I'm tired of bringing it too. Don't embarrass my subordinates, don't hurt my relatives. ”

Mu Zhijing's guards were all shocked, but on such an occasion, even His Majesty Kayun was ignored, and they would not interject at this time.

The eldest prince smiled, and when he saw Mu Zhijing compromise, he smiled: "I still want you to write a letter." Let your brother Mu Anchen come back! He still has the Mu family army in his hands, and I want this army too, and I can't hand over the army of 500,000 to him. He's still on the front line, I'm not at ease. ”

Mu Zhijing said in a deep voice: "My brother is absolutely loyal to the royal family. He only has this Far Eastern Empire in his heart. You ......"

"It's too late to say that at this time. You just have to do what I say you want to do. As for the rest, I will remember the merits of the Mu family for thousands of years. ”
