The place where the emperor was placed under house arrest, at the end of the corridor, an extremely secluded place.

After Lu Heng and the others passed through the sea of mandala flowers, under the guidance of Lu craftsmen, they finally found the entrance to this secret room at the end of the fork in the road.

It turned out that this secret room was in the middle of the imperial city, under the Kunning Palace.

This was also discovered by Wang Shichao, who had supervised the underground works of the Imperial City along the way.

When I walked outside the secret room, I happened to meet a black-clothed warrior who opened the door and walked out.

The man in black was stunned for a moment when he saw a group of fierce officers and soldiers in front of him, and seemed to be taken aback by these officers and soldiers who suddenly appeared. Then, the man took a few steps back, leaned against the wall, and looked at the group of men of different colors in front of him in horror.

However, then the man's eyes flickered for a moment, and suddenly a smile flashed. In the crowd, I found Lu Heng Lu Heng, smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "My master is waiting in the room, please Lord Lu move, oh, and, the person you are looking for is also inside!" ”

The other party was polite and calm.

Lu Heng also smiled kindly and nodded slightly. It's just that the next moment, Lu Heng still had such a kind smile, turned his head, and said to Ah Gui beside him: "Kill him!" ”

Ah Gui had already seen the hand hidden behind this guy's back buckle on the wall, as if he was looking for some kind of mechanism or something. He had a good relationship with Lu Heng, and after hearing Lu Heng's order, he drew his broadsword and swept it hard.

I saw a faint blue light flash, and the head of the black-clothed warrior was directly cut off and fell to the ground. With a thud, the headless corpse fell against the wall, bleeding all over the ground.

Behind him, Wang Shichao and the others opened their mouths wide and looked at the military advisor.

"Let me tell you a truth, do whatever you want. Don't talk too much nonsense. Just kill someone directly, there's no need to hate it to death in your heart, and make a hypocritical appearance, such a person will die the fastest! Lu Heng's eyes were calm, and he pointed to the corpse on the ground and said lightly: "I hate this kind of short-lived ghost who pretends to be a master the most!" ”。

When a sentence was spoken, Agui, Wang Shichao, and Zhao Yunyi hurriedly coughed and raised their heads to make an innocent appearance.

Then, when the door was opened, the light was bright in the large stone brick room.

It's not damp and cold outside, it's warm, and there's a smell of sandalwood floating in the air.

In a dozen square meters of room, the layout is very simple. A table, a few chairs. At the back, there is a bookshelf. On the side against the wall, there is also a bed. Nothing else.

On the table, the candles were burning brightly. The candle flame burned silently, adding a touch of warmth to this secret room.

The emperor Lao'er, who has not been seen for a long time, has all white hair. Tied to a chair, with his mouth gagged and a knife around his neck, his face still calm.

When I saw Lu Heng slowly walking in from the door with someone. The emperor's cold face finally showed a slight smile.

At the emperor's side, there sat a beautiful lady, dressed in a luxurious phoenix-patterned long dress, quietly sipping tea. I saw several black-clothed warriors standing behind him, motionless. just looked at Ah Gui beside Lu Heng vigilantly.

And Ah Gui, since he entered the door, he hasn't looked at these three people squarely. Just looked at the thin masked warrior behind the emperor with a knife across the emperor's neck.

After seeing Lu Heng walk in, the beautiful lady raised her head, glanced at it, and looked away.

Cherry mouthed and blew the tea powder on the tea water, and said softly: "I really didn't expect you to come back so soon!" ”

"Let him go!" knew that the woman in front of him was Concubine Yi. Lu Heng didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, he directly stretched out his hand and pointed at the emperor and said in a deep voice.

"Giggles, you're such a funny person. Why should I let him go! Yi Guifei smiled, the tea cup in her hand swayed, and the tea spilled.

Concubine Yi put down the teacup, reached out and grabbed the handkerchief, and wiped the water stains on her body. smiled and said, "You give me a reason to let him go!" ”

"Then you can kill him!" Lu Heng smiled, and his face did not change.

When the words were spoken, the emperor's eyes widened.

If it weren't for the mouth being gagged, it is estimated that the old man would have been furious.

Not only was the emperor stunned, but even Wang Shichao and others behind Lu Heng looked at Lu Heng in shock. It seems that he didn't expect that as a friend of His Majesty, the emperor would be able to say such heart-wrenching words.

Concubine Yi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lu Heng, with an unnatural look on her face for a while. Then, she suddenly giggled: "You are really a master of playing with people's hearts!" ”

Lu Heng smiled, lowered his head and pulled his cuffs casually, raised his head and glanced at Concubine Yi, lowered his head and continued to work on his things. said lightly: "I don't have the heart to play with your mind." It's still the same sentence, either let him go, or kill him! Let him go, and your family won't die. Kill him and destroy the Nine Clans. Think for yourself! Give you a stick of incense time! ”

After saying that, Lu Heng turned his head and waved his hand at Agui.

Ah Gui really lit a stick of incense, stepped forward, and stuck it on the table.

"Do you really think I dare not kill him?" Seeing that Lu Heng didn't eat his own set at all, Concubine Yi's face changed slightly, and she sneered inwardly.

Lu Heng didn't speak, just stretched out his hand and signaled her to be casual.

Concubine Yi sneered and stared at Lu Heng without saying a word. Holding a dagger in his hand, he was on the emperor's neck, trembling slightly.

Lu Heng waited for a while and sat down. I poured myself a cup of tea and took a sip. raised his head and looked at Yi Guifei, who looked forced to be calm, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Yi Guifei, Zhao Xiulan." Nicknamed Lan'er. A native of Xiangyang, Hubei. There are two older brothers and a younger sister who has just turned 16. Three months ago, the family was secretly evacuated from Xiangyang, and now they have assumed the surname Wang and settled in Dali, Yunnan! ”

After saying all this, Lu Heng raised his head, looked at Concubine Yi, whose face had changed greatly, and said, "What I said is right?" ”

"You, what do you want to say?" Concubine Yi's hand moved slightly, and she shouted calmly.

Lu Heng smiled and said lightly: "It's nothing, I just want to tell you that you lost, and you lost completely!" ”

Concubine Yi didn't speak, just squinted at Lu Heng.

"No!" After a while, Concubine Yi shook her head, stared at Lu Heng, and sneered: "This old thing is still in our hands, and the jade seal of the country is also in our hands, we didn't lose!" ”

Lu Heng pursed his lips, stretched out his finger and pointed at the emperor, smiled, and asked rhetorically, "Do you know, why didn't the prince come with us?" ”

Seeing that Concubine Yi's face changed, Lu Heng continued: "If he dies, it won't affect the overall situation. The country already has a new monarch, and the situation in Tokyo is under control. After a few years, people will forget about it. And the crown prince will reign over the world! Oh, by the way, and the heirloom jade seal you mentioned. Oh, that's just a piece of jade! It doesn't mean anything! ”

"What do you want to say?" Concubine Yi's eyes flickered, and after lowering her head and thinking for a while, she raised her head and stared at Lu Hengdao.

"Let him go, or kill him!" Lu Heng stretched out his finger and pointed at the emperor, and said coldly: "Also, time is running out!" ”

Concubine Yi glanced at the incense that had burned to half, and looked hesitant and struggling.

Judging from what Lu Heng said just now, this emperor, who is known as the world's benevolence and righteousness, and the perfect idol in the minds of scholars, seems to be a ruthless, cruel and cold-blooded bastard. He didn't care about the emperor's life or death, not even his own life.

The two trump cards in his hand, at this time, in his eyes, turned out to be so unbearable.

Concubine Yi was entangled and frightened in her heart, and suddenly went crazy. Suddenly evil arose to the side of the guts, and anger arose from the heart......

He stood up suddenly, holding a dagger in his hand, and stabbed the emperor directly in the arm.

With a thud, the dragon robe was torn, and blood suddenly flowed from the emperor's arm.

"You're scaring me, you're scaring me, you devil!" Concubine Yi grabbed the emperor's neckline, put a dagger with blood on the emperor's neck, suddenly went crazy, and shouted at Lu Heng: "Stand back, stand back, or I'll kill him!" ”

Lu Heng didn't move, just stood up slightly, a hint of apology flashed in his eyes, looked at the emperor with an uncertain look on his face, lowered his head, shook his head with a wry smile, and said regretfully: "Originally, I still wanted to drink with you." However, now it seems that it will not work! ”

After saying this, Lu Heng took a step back, waved his hand to Ah Gui beside him, and said, "Up!" ”

Ah Gui snorted, and walked directly with the long sword.

It's just that when Agui took the first step. The concubine Yi Guifei, who was holding a dagger on the emperor's neck, suddenly had a nervous breakdown and howled and cried.

Ah Gui's eyes were quick, and he blocked the long knife of a black-clothed warrior with a sword. One pulled the emperor behind him. Tossing and turning, the long sword in his hand waved like lightning, and the sword qi was full of energy.

Behind him, Lu Heng pulled the emperor over.

When the emperor came over, he stood solemnly and quietly looked ahead. After waiting for a while, I didn't see Lu Heng speak. A complicated look flashed in the emperor's eyes, he sighed, and asked, "Are you back?" ”

The corners of Lu Heng's mouth curled slightly, and he nodded with a smile. From beginning to end, Lu Heng did not ask if the emperor was okay.

Then Lu Heng thought about it, untied the tiger talisman on his waist and stuffed it to the emperor.

The emperor did not push this time, reached out to take the tiger talisman, glanced at it, and put it in his arms.

Afterwards, neither of them spoke. Just quietly watching the situation in the field.

But in their hearts, both of them understood one thing: I am afraid that the wine will not be drunk.

Behind him, the fat man lowered his eyebrows, and his fat face looked numb, not knowing what he was thinking. And Wang Shichao glanced at Lu Heng deeply, then lowered his head and walked to the emperor's side respectfully.

Looking ahead, the emperor with cold eyes noticed the movement behind him. He smiled slightly, and his expression was glowing.

By this time, the situation had changed dramatically.

The four black-clothed warriors, after Ah Gui used all his life's strength and swept away thousands of troops with one blow, they were all killed by the blue sword qi.

However, Agui is also the first time to meet opponents. When fighting with the skinny black-clothed warrior, Agui adopted a life-swapping style, killing the skinny black-clothed warrior and his three followers with a heavy blow at the cost of one arm.

Ah Gui's long sword was thrown aside, covering the crack in the broken arm with one hand, his lips were chapped, his body was a little rickety, and he was panting.

Behind him, the emperor's eyelids drooped for a moment, and his eyes narrowed. The gaze was cold. But it was not on the top of the depressed Concubine Yi. Instead, he stared at Agui's body.

Behind him, Zhao Yunyi clenched his fists, and a difficult look flashed in his eyes. He raised the crossbow in his hand. With trembling hands, he aimed at the back of Gui's heart.

Seeing this, Lu Heng's expression remained unchanged. Slowly moved, and walked in front of the emperor.

didn't say anything, just stared at him, his expression was like a thousand years of cold water, which made people's hearts palpitate.

The emperor's face instantly became gloomy, and he stared at Lu Heng without saying a word.

Wang Shichao waved his hand, and dozens of soldiers from the bow and arrow battalion came forward, and the arrows in their hands were aimed at Lu Heng.

And Agui, who was exhausted, changed his face greatly after noticing the movement at the scene. Carrying the long sword, he walked to Lu Heng's side.

Open your mouth and bite the strip of cloth tied to your wrist to wrap the sword tightly. The teeth were red with blood, and streaks of blood were gurgling down.

"Childe!"

Ah Gui's eyes were cold, he was holding a long sword in one arm, staring at the emperor, and asked Lu Heng in a deep voice for his reply.

Lu Heng didn't say a word, just looked at the emperor.

At this time, no one paid attention to Concubine Yi behind her, kowtowing like pounding garlic. Everyone was nervous sharply, looking at the two giants of the empire who did not give in to each other.

The atmosphere, deathly depressing.

"Hey, why bother!"

At this moment, the fat man Hong, who had been at a loss, suddenly let out a long sigh and sighed with regret.

Fat Hong shook his head, raised his hand and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. He raised his head, glanced at the emperor, then lowered his head and shook his head and smiled slightly. Holding his big belly, he walked to Lu Heng's side.

"Your Majesty, Yongzheng did that just now, also to save you!" Hong Fat Man smiled bitterly, raised his head to look at the emperor, and said helplessly: "Why bother? ”

The emperor turned his head and stared at Fat Hong. In the squinted eyes, there was disbelief and coldness.

"Harmony is a beautiful thing in the world, and harmony between monarchs and ministers is the blessing of the community." Hong Fatzi had no fear at this time, smiled slightly, and looked at His Majesty and talked eloquently: "Yongzheng is running around for the imperial court, fighting in the south and fighting in the north, isn't it just for the Great Zhou, for the world, and for Your Majesty's martial arts?" ”

The emperor didn't speak, just stared at him, and the sneer on his face grew stronger.

"Hey, okay!" Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Hong Fatzi shook his head and smiled bitterly. Then he glanced at Lu Heng apologetically, and walked to the emperor's side again.

Lu Heng's expression remained unchanged, just looking at the emperor.

"Okay!" After being silent for a long time, a sneer broke out at the corner of the emperor's mouth, and he finally spoke.

After taking a deep look at Lu Heng, he nodded slightly. Raising his hand and waving, Wang Shichao saw this, and hurriedly waved his hand to let the archer retreat.

Then, the emperor turned his head, looked at the fat man behind him, and said lightly: "As for you......"

The figure got out of the way, and everyone was shocked to find that Hong Fatzi was holding a sharp dagger in his hand. And that dagger has just been on His Majesty's waist.

Seeing the emperor look over, Hong Fat Man smiled, flipped his wrist, and suddenly used all his strength to insert the dagger into his chest.

Hong Fatzi's body trembled, and he fell to the ground with a thud. Raised his head, blood flowed from his mouth, and laughed miserably: "Minister, apologize with death!" ”

The emperor looked at him expressionlessly, and looked away indifferently.

Then, turn and leave.

After Zhao Yunyi stepped forward and killed Concubine Yi with a knife, he lowered his head and passed by Lu Heng, and left in the footsteps of the emperor.

Behind him, Lu Heng slowly walked to Hong Fatman's side, squatted down, and helped Hong Fatman sit up.

"Why?"

Lu Heng stretched out his hand and pressed the knife wound in Hong Fatzi's heart. Raising his head, he asked lightly.

Hong Fatzi saw that Lu Heng's eyes were as calm as water, and there was a bright light flickering. He smiled miserably and gasped: "The old man still thinks you won't shed tears!" ”

"Heh...... it's the first time for you!" Lu Heng no longer concealed it, and the tears in his eyes flowed down. Wet the green shirt on his body.

"You haven't answered me yet, why?" Lu Heng raised his hand and wiped the tears on his cheeks, and asked in a choked voice.

"Make a life for heaven and earth, and open peace for all generations!" The light in Hong Fatman's eyes gradually dissipated, but he still had a smile on his face: "This is also the belief of the old man all his life." It's just, hey, not enough. And you are the only person the old man has ever seen, who can afford to hold it and do it! Save you, save your life, and make peace for all generations, how can you have half or half of the old man! ”

The voice fell, but the voice still echoed in the secret room.

In his arms, Hong Fatman's body was already cold. Lu Heng raised his head, already in tears. Stretched out a trembling hand and closed the eyes of the fat man.

Looking at the fat man in his arms, who had always prided himself on being unserious, Lu Heng used all his strength to take the fat man into his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, there must be!" ”

Behind him, Ah Gui sat there against the wall, staring at the candlesticks that had burned out, stunned.

……

No one knows what is going on in the chamber.

Only, on the second day, after martial law was lifted in Tokyo. Lu Heng, who made great contributions to the Great Zhou, left Tokyo with his family and a coffin, and he didn't know where to go.

Early that morning, the prince was alone, and after a thirty-mile walk, he returned to Tokyo alone.

After Lu Heng left Tokyo, he went all the way south. A group of people swayed around, playing in the mountains and rivers, and walked very slowly. At sunset one day, outside Zhoukou County, Lu Heng and his party met Monk Fahai, who had stayed in Zhengzhou to deal with religious incidents.

Monk Fahai, who didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, had to go on a tour with Lu Heng. The excuse is also very unique, saying that following Lu Heng, he will cultivate the avenue and achieve an immortal golden body.

Lu Heng pursed his lips, but he didn't refuse. If you want to follow, just follow it, you're a master.

Although Monk Fahai usually looks a little cowardly, at the moment when he rescued people in Zhongyue Temple in Zhengzhou, the old monk still showed the roar of the Buddhist lion that leaked domineeringly. Listening to Agui say, if he fights with Monk Fahai, the victory or defeat will be fifty-five points.

Moreover, Monk Fahai brought news that His Majesty seemed to have taken over the Northern Expeditionary Army. Directives are being issued. When Lu Heng heard this, he just smiled and didn't make any comments.

On the second day, the group continued south.

Along the way, with the gags of Monk Fahai, time flies.

In the next month, everyone followed Lu Heng and went to Lushan, Huangshan, and Jiuhua Mountain. Along the way, Lu Heng dutifully assumed the identity of a tour guide, explaining the stories of these famous mountains to the ladies and Gui.

A month later, Lu Heng, who took his family and friends to Putuo Mountain, Zhejiang, was in the tavern, and then bragged to Agui and Fahai, saying that he had seen a room that could fly, and said that there were more than 100 people in that room. Outside the tavern, hundreds of people suddenly made a noise and headed towards the gate of the county office.

"What's going on?" Monk Fahai was drunk, stretched out his hand and pushed down Lu Heng's master and servant, who were sleeping on the table, and asked vaguely.
