"Your Majesty, you can't go, you can't go!" Helan Leopard knelt on the ground, looking at Gao Wei in front of him anxiously, pleading bitterly.

At the end of October, the dripping water turned into ice, and the cold wind cut his face like a knife, but the Helan leopard didn't care about pressing on the cold and hard bluestone ground, and his numb hands just straightened up, stubbornly blocking Gao Wei's way.

In front of the Helan leopard, Gao Wei was dressed in a black suit, riding a horse with a dark body, bright coat, and long legs. Behind Gao Wei, there were dozens of close ministers and eunuchs such as Mu Tiva and Gao Anaqiu, who were concise and obedient, obviously planning to travel far away at night.

Of course, the charming and touching queen Feng Xiaolian is indispensable, although she is only wearing an ordinary black dress, her bumpy figure is still very eye-catching, but at this tense moment, few people pay attention to it.

Gao Wei's face was very gloomy, especially cloudy in the dim firelight, he looked at the Helan leopard viciously, and said impatiently: "Helan leopard, you are so bold, you dare to block my way? Are you going to rebel?! ”

"Don't dare!" Helan Leopard grabbed the ground with his head and slammed into a loud voice, "Your Majesty, now that the enemy is present, only if you are in charge in person, the soldiers can be a hundred times more morale and defeat the enemy!" For the sake of hundreds of thousands of people in Jinyang, please stay! ”

Gao Ana Qiu took a step forward, looked at Helan Leopard coldly and said: "General Helan, a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, not to mention that His Majesty is a dignified Ninety-Five Supreme, how can he be in danger?" If you don't get out of the way quickly, your majesty may spare you for the crime of disrespect!" ”

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty can't go, you must not go!" Helan Leopard shook his head vigorously, looked at Gao Ana with a look of hope and anxiety, and said: "Prime Minister, the big war is imminent, and Your Majesty's sudden departure will definitely disrupt the morale of the army, in this way, how can our army withstand the tiger and wolf army of the Zhou army, and how can hundreds of thousands of people in Jinyang be safe!" ”

"Helan leopard, how can a mere pariahs be compared with the emperor's body of ten thousand gold? Why don't you open the city gate and escort the emperor out of the city! Gao Ana's humeral face sank like water, and his tone was very heavy.

"Your Majesty......"

"Get out of here!" Gao Wei was already a little impatient, and interrupted sharply before Helan Leopard finished speaking. His face was gloomy, and as he spoke, the whip in his hand was thrown forward with all his might.

"Smack!"

The whip shadow flashed, a crisp sound sounded in the air, Helan Leopard snorted, and a finger-thick red mark appeared on his face, extending from the corner of his eye to his jaw, and under the flickering firelight, it looked so hideous and dazzling.

"Your Majesty—" Helan Leopard clenched his fists, but he still knelt on the ground and pleaded loudly.

Seeing that Helan Leopard repeatedly disobeyed orders and refused to get up, Gao Wei, who had long lost patience, suddenly became angry and angrily reprimanded: "It's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong!" If you want to die, then I will fulfill you! ”

Gao Wei's voice fell, and the horsewhip in his hand quickly shook in the air, and after a crisp sound, the horsewhip fell heavily and hit the horse's buttocks. The horse was in pain, and suddenly neighed, and its body rushed out like an arrow off the string, but it turned a deaf ear to the Helan leopard under its feet.

"General! Be careful! ”

Seeing that the Helan leopard was about to be trampled under the iron hooves of Gao Wei's war horse, the surrounding soldiers exclaimed one after another, but Gao Wei shouted "drive" and laughed wildly, his eyes flashing with bloodthirsty excitement.

Feeling the crazy killing intent exuded from Gao Wei's body, Helan Leopard's heart suddenly fell into the abyss, and boundless despair surged into his heart, making his whole person stunned and at a loss.

Could it be that this is the emperor to whom I am allegiated, this is the empire to which I am desperately allegiant? Decades of sacrificing life and death, is this the only result?

"Get out of the way!"

At this critical moment, there was a sudden shout in the distance, and the Helan leopard was finally awakened, and he didn't care about anything else, he immediately mustered up all his strength and rushed to the side.

"Bump!"

Although the Helan leopard had tried his best, Gao Wei's war horse still violently slammed into his thigh, knocking him out fiercely, falling four or five meters away, and unable to get up for a long time.

Gao Wei's war horse was stagnant, he glanced at the Helan leopard who was still breathing with some unwillingness, and then looked at the figure behind him that was galloping, and finally gritted his teeth and urged the war horse to run forward again.

"The emperor has an order, open the city gate, open the city gate quickly!" With the golden decree in his hand, Mutiva came to the city gate in the first place, and shouted loudly. Although the Qi soldiers at the city gate did not know why, when they saw the golden token, they did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and quickly turned the noose, while the Qi soldiers in the city knelt on the ground one after another.

"Squeak crunch!"

Watching the heavy city gate slowly open, Gao Wei showed a smile on his face, "Go quickly, go quickly!" So saying, he kicked the horse's belly hard and galloped away from the city gate.

"Drive!"

Gao Anaqiu, Mutipa and other close ministers closely guarded Gao Wei's sides, and they also spurred their horses and ran out of the city together.

"Your Majesty—"

An anxious shout was heard again in the distance, but Cushman & Wakefield was indifferent, rushing forward faster, and disappeared into the thick night in the blink of an eye.

"See the General!"

When the people who came in a hurry arrived at the gate of the city, everyone found that this was Gao Yanzong, the king of Ande, and they did not dare to slack off, so they immediately saluted.

Gao Yanzong looked at the darkness outside the city gate, his lips were pursed, he didn't say a word, his face was extremely ugly, and there was a suppressed anger all over his body. As if sensing the majestic anger on Gao Yanzong's body, everyone was silent, lowered their heads, and did not dare to make a sound.

The air seemed to have frozen, until the Helan leopard staggered in front of Gao Yanzong and spoke bitterly and dejectedly.

"General, Your Majesty has left, and the last general can't stop him!"

Gao Yanzong glanced at the gray-faced and embarrassed Helan leopard, his eyes were gentle, and he said lightly: "General Helan, you are fortunate." Now that it's over, you don't have to blame yourself. You've done your best, go down and get some rest! I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle tomorrow, and I have to rely on General Helan to kill the enemy bravely! ”

Helan Leopard's lips twitched a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just replied "yes" and turned away, his steps staggering, his figure stretched out in the flickering firelight, but it was so desolate and decadent.

"Rise up, all the soldiers!" Gao Yanzong's face turned slightly pale, glanced around, and then roared loudly: "Although Your Majesty is not here, this king is willing to live and die with you, live and die with Jinyang, and swear to defend my Great Qi River and Mountain!" Gao Yanzong's voice was very loud, and his tone was as resolute as iron, with his resolute look at this time, the whole person suddenly became much taller.

"Live and die together, live and die together!"

"Swear to defend the Great Qi River to the death!"

Hearing Gao Yanzong's roar, the Helan leopard was shocked, his stiff back suddenly straightened, Huo Ran turned around, and raised his arms and shouted excitedly.

"Live and die together, live and die together! Swear to defend the Great Qi to the death! ”

When the Qi army in the city heard this, they immediately shouted in unison, and the sound was rolling, and they rushed straight to Xiaohan. And with this earth-shattering roar, everyone's heavy and confused mood couldn't help but relax, and the low morale also rose a lot.

Listening to the deafening roar in his ears, Gao Yanzong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel an irrepressible excitement.

When the cheering reached its peak, Gao Yanzong stretched out his hands and pressed down slightly, and all the sounds suddenly stopped. Everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the bloated Gao Yanzong, at this moment, he had become the master of this Jinyang City, representing the hope of survival. At this moment, they could only choose to forget his past image of being violent and unscrupulous.

"Soldiers, tomorrow we will face a hard battle, a vicious battle, tonight you have to rest well, recuperate, and tomorrow use the blade in your hand to tell the Zhou people, my big Qi Erlang is a hero who stands up to the sky and the earth, and is a hero! This king looks forward to your victory and will fight with you until the last moment! ”

"Victory! Win! ”

Qi Jun raised his head to the sky again and roared, as if he wanted to dispel the fear and depression in his heart.

Gao Yanzong smiled faintly, and after arranging the city defense task, he turned around and left, leaving everyone's backs as thick and wide as mountains.

……

Back at his residence, Gao Yanzong was chatting without sleep, constantly pacing in the room, his fists tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, but the agitated mood was always difficult to calm down.

Gao Wei is gone, leaving Jinyang, and he, Gao Yanzong, can finally take power alone, and the long-awaited opportunity has finally come.

As soon as he thought that he could rule the world and sit on that pinnacle seat, his heart became very hot.

"King, Tang Yong, the secretary of the book, asks to see you!" At this moment, the voice of the guard suddenly came from outside the door.

Gao Yanzong paused, his brows furrowed slightly, he didn't know what Tang Yong's late night visit meant, but he still returned to his seat and sat down, and then raised his voice: "Please let him in!" ”

"Xiaguan Tang Yong, visit the king!" Tang Yong pushed the door in, and respectfully saluted Gao Yanzong, who was seated: "Disturbing the king's rest late at night is really an important matter, and I hope the king will forgive his sins!" ”

"Lord Tang is serious, hurry up and excuse yourself!" Gao Yanzong had a gentle smile on his face, waved his hand, and said, "I don't know what Lord Tang is doing here?" ”

Although Gao Yanzong, who was born in a perverted family, was not a little smarter than Gao Wei, he also knew that Tang Yong was a person with real talent and learning, and he could be of great use at this crisis juncture, because his attitude was very gentle.

Seeing Gao Yanzong's posture like this, Tang Yong's frowning brows couldn't help but ease a little, and his gloomy eyes brightened a lot. He pondered for a moment, then took a step, looked at Gao Yanzong with burning eyes and said: "King, now that the emperor has abandoned the city and gone away, facing the aggressive Yuwen Yong, I don't know what your countermeasures are, my lord?" ”

"This king should take the lead and swear to kill the enemy!" Gao Yanzong's eyes moved slightly, and then said.

"Your Majesty, forgive your command. The emperor fled, the natural army of Jinyang was disheartened, and the people's hearts were floating, if you want to break the enemy, it is undoubtedly more difficult! Tang Yong shook his head worriedly.

Gao Yanzong's eyes shrank, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Then according to Lord Tang's opinion, what should we do?" ”

"King, now, only if you are crowned with a yellow robe and become the emperor, can you turn the situation around and win the enemy!" Tang Yong's eyes suddenly burst out with a scorching essence, and he was shocked, and said word by word.

"What?" Gao Yanzong's face changed greatly, Huo Ran got up, and exclaimed in a lost voice.
