In the entire Houzai Gate, it suddenly became a dead silence, and after a rain of arrows, even Wang Pin and the others, who were still fighting to the death just now, were stunned on the spot.

Li Shichun and Zhu Cihong, who were standing in the open space between the crowds, both of them were filled with long arrows, and the feather arrows passed through Zhu Cihong's body, and then deeply into Li Shichun's body, and the two were pierced by the feather arrows, and they could no longer be separated.

Blood flowed down the shaft of the arrow, and as the blood splashed down drop by drop, the bodies of the two began to crumble.

Li Shichun's trembling voice sounded low, "I, I've already descended, why, why do you still want to release arrows!" Immediately, his head sank forward and leaned straight on Zhu Cihong's back.

Zhu Cihong's eyes also began to become hollow, and two lines of tears dripped down his cheeks, "What did I do wrong?" Why do you all have to betray me! All the ministers should be killed! They should all be killed! Father...... why did you leave such a world for your sons! ”

In an instant, Zhu Cihong could no longer speak, a large mouthful of blood foamed out of his mouth, he knelt forward on his knees, and even the body of Li Shichun, who was leaning on his back, also fell, Zhu Cihong's face fell into the dust, and never turned over again.

Suddenly, a woman's terrible howl sounded in the crowd, and the voice was very harsh and pathetic. Ma Shiying couldn't help frowning. Just now, he had clearly seen the face of Zhu Cihong, who was kidnapped by Li Shichun, so he turned over and dismounted, bowed deeply to Zhu Cihong's body, raised his head, and his eyes already radiated an irrepressible excitement.

"The traitor Li Shichun. After investigation, it was actually Sun Chuanting and Zheng Sanjun who were unwilling to give in and killed the Son of Heaven in frenzy. Now he has been killed! Everyone present is his henchmen, and one of them must not be let go, and they will all be killed! ”

After shouting these words, Ma Shiying was relieved, and no matter how the soldiers and horses under his command slaughtered the hundreds of people trapped under the Houzai Gate, he said directly to his son Ma Luan: "There is no one left here, remember." I also want to find King Zhu Cijiong, Princess Zhaoren, and Princess Kunxing, who want to see people alive and corpses when they die! ”

"My son understands!" Ma Luan replied decisively: "Father." Now there are still some princes from the north in Nanjing, do you want to ......? Ma Luan stretched out his right hand and made a downward slashing gesture.

Ma Shiying didn't answer, but turned around. looked at Ruan Dacheng and Liu Kongzhao. The two of them were shocked, showing a pleading look, and almost knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Ma Shiying glared at the two of them, "Leave it to Liu Liangzuo to do it, those soldiers under him are rude and ignorant, and it is most appropriate to do these things!" “

Ruan Dacheng and Liu Kongzhao were pardoned, and hurriedly asked for orders to deliver the letter.

Ma Shiying silently calculated in his heart that King Yong and King Ling had died in the hands of Li Zicheng. Chongzhen's lineage has been severed, and there are not many heirs left in the Divine Sect, and now all obstacles have been cleared for King Fu to ascend the throne.

It won't be long. Zuo Mengeng and Zheng Zhilong will also lead the army to Nanjing one after another, and the situation in Jiangnan is just around the corner. The blessed king Zhu Yousong reigns in the world, and he himself will eventually reach the peak of his personal career. No, it's just the beginning, there are many things to do next, the first thing is to find ways to reduce the military power of various feudal towns. And he Ma Shiying will eventually become the head of the new generation of civil servants of the Ming Empire, with power over the world and ambitions.

……

Wang Pin in the crowd watched Zhu Cihong fall down blankly. watched his life pass silently in front of his eyes, and with it, Wang Pin's entire life force collapsed.

After more than ten years of operation, Wang Pin has paid unimaginable sacrifices for this. From the beginning of his painstaking approach to Zhu Cihong, Wang Pin has sketched a beautiful blueprint for his life. From the bottom of his heart, Wang Pin very much disapproves of his father-in-law Wang Chengen's attitude towards the world, obviously holding amazing power in his hands, but he doesn't know how to use it well, and he wants to hide behind others, what is he doing?

Wang Pin is different, his ideal is to become the inner minister of the Ming Dynasty, the master of ceremonies and the palm seal. Because he has lost a lot when he entered the palace, only this ideal can support him to the present.

But now, Zhu Cihong's death turned the blueprint in his heart into ashes in an instant and disappeared with the wind.

"I've got one more option for you!" Wang Chengen's words are still in his ears, but Wang Pin's heart is full of bitterness. He had a lot of opportunities to take advantage of that next opportunity, but he gave up. It's no wonder that power and status blindfolded him, but he ignored a lot of things buried behind those two things.

The loud greeting of his subordinates, Wang Pin couldn't hear it anymore, he slowly raised the saber in his hand, the blood on it was a little dazzling, but the weight seemed to be much more than usual.

Wang Pin put the blade of the sword across his neck, and with a slight force on his wrist, the cold feeling instantly spread. He could clearly feel his own blood rushing out of the wound of the blade, making a slight sound in the air.

"Is this the end of a mistake and a losing game?"

Before falling into darkness, Wang Pin's mind was just constantly thinking about such a question.

……

The rebel soldiers have already killed the red eyes, they drove the internal officials, Gong E and others, and when they caught up, they slashed to the ground, and the slightly purple palace maids and female officials were carried on their shoulders with a cruel smile, but if there was a little resistance, it would be the end of the head falling to the ground in an instant.

Zhu Yujiao didn't want to run to Zhu Cihong's side who fell to the ground. That was the only one she had left. The words of Jingshi that day made her feel the collapse of her home, and now, the only little home left felt like it was about to leave her. It made her feel deep fear and helplessness.

There is no one around to rely on, and at this moment, even Cao Wuxian is not around. Now Zhu Yujiao is not afraid of life and death, she just wants to find her brother and stay by his side to go to Huangquan together.

But it backfired, and the crowd engulfed her. Unconsciously returned to the imperial garden that had just passed, and people rushed to escape into the pavilion, and Zhu Yujiao was brought into the Chunlai Pavilion by a group of internal officials and palace laves.

As soon as you enter the Spring Pavilion. Some sturdy eunuchs snatched their swords and blocked the rebels at the door. The internal officials and palace maids were busy sealing the doors and windows, as if they could fight for more chances of survival.

Zhu Yujiao is like a walking corpse, and her simple demands have now become extravagant hopes, making her soul seem to fly away in an instant. She walked to a corner and sat down, and the people in the pavilion seemed to be very far away from her. Finally, she was buried between her legs. Burst into tears.

The voices of the people around him seemed to be getting louder and louder, and there seemed to be a smell of burnt paste in the nasal cavity. Some couldn't help but cry. The cry was filled with unspeakable despair.

"The rebels set fire!" Zhu Yujiao's mind finally regained a trace of clarity, she raised her head, looked at the surrounding scene, and there was already a faint firelight projected in the window lattice. Soon. Black smoke filled the entire Chunlai Pavilion.

At this moment, Zhu Yujiao felt extremely relaxed.

Due to the desperate resistance of the internal officials, the rebels could not attack the Chunlai Pavilion for a while, because they still remembered the treasures and beauties from other places in the palace, so the rebels gave up their entanglement here, and simply set the Chunlai Pavilion on fire.

Chunlai Pavilion is a pure wooden structure, originally just a temporary resting place for the Son of Heaven and his concubines to relax in the imperial garden, and the flames lit by the rebels together, the entire Chunlai Pavilion was immediately surrounded by a sea of fire. A moment later, the half-burned Chunlai Pavilion collapsed.

At this time, Cao Wuxian struggled to enter the palace from outside the palace. It was under the Houzai Gate that he found a dying eunuch who had told him before he died that he had seen Zhu Yujiao retreating in the crowd in the direction of the Imperial Garden.

Cao Wu was so sad and anxious that he went straight to the Imperial Garden. The palace was already in chaos, and Cao Wuxian deliberately hid his traces. Therefore, it didn't take much effort to enter the Imperial Garden.

But at the moment when Chunlai Pavilion just came into sight. The entire pavilion suddenly collapsed, which made Cao Wuwu's heart instantly rise to his throat.

There were still some rebel soldiers waiting around, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but make a loud noise, and then they set off for the other palaces with satisfaction.

The vast Imperial Garden gradually quieted down, and the flowers and trees in the garden were also ignited, emitting a strange fragrance.

Cao Wuxian hurried to the ruins of Chunlai Pavilion, and was a little overwhelmed for a while. After the collapse of Chunlai Pavilion, the body that was burned to death and choked to death was also revealed, which made Cao Wuxian shocked, he was afraid that he would see that familiar figure, but he could only firmly control the fear in his heart, and identify the corpse one by one.

"Will go, will definitely go! I still remember the teppanyaki you made for me with your own hands, and it was a memory that I will never forget. ”

"Give me a while longer, and when the situation is stable, I will definitely accompany you back to Shandong." Let's find a small house in Penglai, facing the sea, and stay until we are old! ”

What he saw in his eyes was a corpse with a blackened face, but his ears kept echoing Zhu Yujiao's words.

Cao Wuxian only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his every move seemed to be just a subconscious behavior, and he was completely uncontrolled by himself.

It was difficult to lift the wooden columns one by one, and forcibly held back the choking breath, but Cao Wuxian couldn't help but shed tears.

"Don't lie to me! I take what you say seriously, these days, I even dream of returning to Shandong with you. You promised to stay with me for the rest of your life! In any case, you can't lie to me this time! ”

On the ruins illuminated by the firelight, a man with his hands full of frothy bubbles muttered to himself while frantically rummaging through every inch of the land, and bean-sized tears dripped down from time to time, falling on the charred earth, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a trace of green mist.
