Chapter 721: Return to the Heart Cultivation Palace
Emperor Chongzhen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he looked at Wen Tiren with a complicated expression for a long time, seeing Wen Tiren arching his hands, his face did not change, and he had a clear conscience and was extremely calm, Chongzhen took a deep breath: "It's rare that Wen Ge Lao is sincere to me, and I really didn't mistake you."

Xu Liang was startled, and hurriedly said: "Come slowly, come slowly, your Majesty, do you understand what this old dog is talking about?" He is trying to forcibly stop Weichen and ignore the emperor's life! ”
Chongzhen glanced at Xu Liang, looked heroic and righteous, and said awe-inspiringly: "If I can exchange my life for the stability of the Ming Dynasty and the peace of the world, even if I die, it is worth it!" ”
Xu Liang was stunned and shouted angrily: "The emperor is so rash, have you ever thought of Empress Zhou and the crown princess? ”
The look of shame on Emperor Chongzhen's face flashed, and then his expression became firm, and he slowly closed his eyes and ignored Xu Liang.
Xu Liang was really angry, he didn't expect Emperor Chongzhen to be so decisive, he couldn't help staring at the cabinet minister Wen Tiren, and scolded: "Wen Laogou, you are also a minister of the Ming Dynasty, seeing that the emperor was in danger, he didn't care about it and insisted on going his own way!" The emperor is really blind, and he actually chose you to be a cabinet minister! ”
Wen Tiren's head was bruised, and in just half a day, he was scolded by Xu Liang more than in the previous decades combined. "Xu Liang, when he is dying, he still dares to say nothing! The old man's move today is all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the ancestral foundation! You chaotic thief, even if the old man is broken today, he will cut you under the knife! The guards listened to the order and killed Xu Liang! ”
After Wen Tiren finished drinking, the guards around him were suddenly shocked, although these guards were all mobilized by Wen Tiren, and Wen Tiren had also explained a little before, but when he really wanted to do something to Xu Liang, and it was very likely to hurt Emperor Chongzhen, all the guards were in a cold sweat, and their hands and feet were cold.
A guard commander hesitated and said, "Pavilion Elder, the emperor is still in Xu Liang's hands, what if the emperor is injured?" ”
Wen Tiren had a beard, and his tone was sharp: "Rest assured, generals, you are just acting according to orders today, and all the consequences will be borne by the old man!" ”
Several guard commanders glanced at each other, each sighed lightly, and slowly raised their hands, and a group of guards raised their swords and guns at the same time, slowly approaching Xu Liang.
Sibi Bingbi Wang Chengen rushed to Wen Ge Lao, grabbed Wen Tiren, and screamed: "Stop!" Stop!! Who dares to hurt the emperor, our family, our family will punish him for the nine clans! ”
The faces of several guard commanders changed when they heard this, and they looked at Wen Tiren hesitantly.
Wen Tiren shook his hand vigorously, but Wang Chengen actually grabbed it very tightly, and almost used all the strength of his body. Wen Tiren couldn't struggle, and when he saw that all the guards were frightened and hesitated, he couldn't help but be furious, and shouted left and right: "Come on, drag the prince down!" ”
When the two guards heard this, they stepped forward and pulled Wang Chengen away from Wen Tiren. Wang Chengen struggled, but how could he, a eunuch, be the opponent of the two guards, not only did he fail to break free, but he was escorted to the side by the two guards.
Wang Chengen's whole face was distorted, and he screamed: "Wen Tiren, what do you want to do?!" Stop!! ”
Wen Tiren frowned slightly, his face was extremely fierce, and he shouted in a deep voice to several guard commanders: "Generals, kill Xu Liang quickly, I'm afraid something will happen if it's too late!" ”
Several guard commanders exchanged glances, and then looked up at Emperor Chongzhen, only to see Emperor Chongzhen's indifferent face, as if everything that happened in the square had nothing to do with him.
Several leaders bowed to Emperor Chongzhen from afar, and then drew their knives and pointed directly at Xu Liang, and shouted in a deep voice: "The generals listen to the order!" The traitor Xu Liang held the emperor hostage, the crime was extremely evil, rushed up, and killed him on the spot! …… Uh, be careful not to hurt the emperor......"
Although Wen Tiren insisted on this, the emperor did not express any objection, but several commanders still had no bottom in their hearts, and involuntarily added such a sentence.
Wen Tiren listened, his brows furrowed, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.
Many palace guards responded in an uproar, and then approached in the direction of Xu Liang from all directions.
Xu Liang was also very nervous, feeling that his palms were full of sweat. He pulled Emperor Chongzhen tightly and shouted: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't want to kill you, you let them stop!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly, simply closed his eyes, and ignored Xu Liang's threat.
Xu Liang was suddenly annoyed, and when he looked around, countless guards surrounded him, all kinds of weapons were shining cold, and Wen Tiren was in front of him in the square, sneering at him.
Xu Liang shouted angrily: "Old dog Wen, if there is any accident in the emperor today, it is all caused by your old dog Wen!" ”
Wen Tiren was furious: "Chaotic ministers and thieves, when they are dying, they dare to threaten the old man!" Kill him! ”
The guards had already approached not far from Xu Liang's side, staring at Xu Liang with fierce eyes, and a guard looked at Xu Liang's back, screamed, raised his gun and stabbed!
Xu Liang heard the sound of the wind, turned around, and the spear in the guard's hand broke in response.
"Kill!"
The guards' tentative probe seemed to have sent a signal to attack, and the guards who surrounded them roared in unison, raising their swords and guns at the same time, and facing Xu Liang!
Xu Liang drew his knife to block, broke or shook back the weapon that stabbed in front of him, and took the time to suddenly take out the knife, harvesting the lives of several guards.
However, there were so many guards who surrounded him, even if Xu Liang killed a few people, he surrounded him in a blink of an eye, as if he couldn't finish killing.
"Lord Xu, lay down your arms and surrender!" The commander of the guards raised his voice on the periphery to persuade him to surrender.
Xu Liang ignored it, and while waving the Cold Moon Knife in his hand, he forced the attacking guards to retreat or cut them off, and his body clanged, I don't know how many weapons were cut off by Xu Liang, and fell to the ground around Xu Liang.
The number of people attacking was too much, even if Xu Liang was strong in martial arts, he couldn't stand the siege of so many people, and he resisted for a while, and he already saw sweat on his forehead.
"Your Majesty, you still don't tell them to stop!" Xu Liang scolded Chongzhen angrily: "Don't stop it, don't blame Weichen for being ruthless!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen opened his eyes and sneered: "Xu Liang, things have come to this point, what else can I say!" ”
"I promise I'll kill you before I die!" Xu Liang scolded viciously.
Chongzhen was stunned: "With my life, I have eliminated a worry for the Ming Dynasty, and I can be regarded as a well-deserved death." ”
"Maniac!" Xu Liang shouted angrily.
Four spears suddenly stabbed from the group of guards, Xu Liang shouted angrily, turned around suddenly, and narrowly avoided it, and then the sword light fell, and there was a crisp clang, cutting down the four spears together.
"Huh?" Xu Liang screamed, and saw the severed spears raised in unison, aimed at Xu Liang, the four guards laughed fiercely, and then four black lights **** came out!
Xu Liang snorted, because he was too close, all four black lights shot into Xu Liang's chest, shocking Xu Liang three steps back, looking down, only to find that the four black lights were actually small arrows hidden in the spear! However, these four small arrows seemed to be hung by something, stuck in Xu Liang's chest, as if they were stuck on his clothes, swaying. It was the same as the arrow that had been hung on it.
"Armor!" The sharp-eyed guard exclaimed, "He's wearing armor!" The guards stared wide-eyed, and sure enough, they saw that under Xu Liang's torn official robe, the silver light was shining, which was precisely because he was wearing silver silk soft armor. All the guards looked at each other with a blank look.
"Humph!" Xu Liang snorted angrily, and in front of everyone's eyes, the scimitar swept across his chest, and all the arrows and small arrows left on his body fell to the ground.
The arrow fell, and Xu Liang's heart suddenly felt a chill, and when he looked at it, he saw a person leaping up, and a big knife in his hand slashed at Xu Liang's head.
"Traitor! Death! "Someone shouted.
Xu Liang sneered, and suddenly handed Emperor Chongzhen in his hand forward, blocking the man's knife light.
"Ah, despicable!" The man was startled, screamed angrily, twisted his waist in mid-air, and actually deviated from the direction and fell from Xu Liang's side.
While! There was a loud bang, but it was the long knife that slashed down the steps, and countless sparks collapsed.
The man was dressed in bright armor, and it was evident that he was a captain of the guard of no small rank. Xu Liang didn't expect that person to have such kung fu, and he would be able to change direction in mid-air.
With a light snort, Xu Liang stepped forward violently, the cold light flashed away, and the next moment, the cold light flashed in front of the person.
"Commander Guo be careful!" The guards screamed.
When Commander Guo saw Xu Liang's knife light coming, he hurriedly screamed angrily, brought up the long knife in his hand, and was entangled with Xu Liang in a blink of an eye.
The surrounding guards screamed again and again, and rushed forward to help Commander Guo, but Xu Liang sneered, holding Emperor Chongzhen in one hand as if he was holding a shield in his hand, where there was a knife and spear, he pulled Emperor Chongzhen to where it was!
The guards screamed, and they didn't dare to hurt Emperor Chongzhen even if they had ten guts, and they immediately restrained their hands and scolded.
Xu Liang turned a deaf ear, and the fight with Commander Guo was also temporarily suspended. Commander Guo looked blankly at the handle of the knife that was only half cut in his hand, and one arm was cut with a long knife cut, drenched in blood, Commander Guo's eyebrows furrowed, and he hissed at Xu Liang: "Good knife." ”
Xu Liang said: "I can't imagine that in the palace, there are also masters like Commander Guo. ”
Commander Guo stared at the one-foot-long arc cold moon knife in Xu Liang's hand, and said indifferently: "Guo was injured by you today, not because his martial arts are not as good as yours, but because his weapons are not as good as yours!" But you still can't leave! ”
Xu Liang frowned, in the deep palace, a guard commander actually had such skills, which was greatly unexpected by Xu Liang. According to Xu Liang's impression, the commander of the palace guards is not only the one in front of him, if the other commanders also have the skills of the person in front of him, then Xu Liang will not be able to escape even if he has wings.
Xu Liang looked around, and the overlapping guards seemed to be inexhaustible. couldn't help but sigh, and took Emperor Chongzhen, who was already stunned by Xu Liang, in his hand, waved the Cold Moon Knife, looked at the direction of the Heart Cultivation Hall behind him, and rushed over quickly.
"Want to go?" Commander Guo shouted angrily, and regardless of the injury on his hand, he casually took a knife from the hand of a guard next to him, chased after Xu Liang and slashed it.
Xu Liang snorted lightly, and the cold moon knife in the knife danced into a piece of knife light, forcing the guards in front of him to retreat, seeing that Commander Guo was chasing after him, he casually put Emperor Chongzhen on his back, and his body did not stop, and he walked to the Palace of Cultivating the Heart.
Commander Guo's sword was stunned, snorted, and stopped in place with a complicated expression. A group of guards shouted loudly, seeing that Xu Liang almost carried Emperor Chongzhen on his back, and used him to block the swords and guns behind him, he moved forward with all his strength, and in a blink of an eye, he opened a bloody road, and then retreated into the Heart Cultivation Hall again, and with a few bangs, the entire palace door was closed.
The guards poured over like a tide, and once again blocked the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace, but before they got the order, they were afraid to break in.
Another guard leader ran up to Commander Guo and asked in a cold voice, "Why did you let him run in?" ”
Commander Guo's face was not good, and he snorted coldly: "The emperor is in his hands, what can I do!" ”
The commander choked, and he didn't want to blame him anymore, glared at the closed door of the temple hatefully, turned around and ran down the steps, and asked Wen Tiren in the square for instructions.
The commander ran to Wen Tiren and arched his hand: "My lord, the thief has kidnapped the emperor and fled into the Heart Cultivation Palace. ”
Wen Tiren glared at the commander hatefully and scolded, "A bunch of waste! Thousands of people can't even take a single Xu Liang! ”
The commander sneered on his face and weakly explained: "The traitor is too despicable, he actually uses the emperor's body as a shield, and his subordinates are afraid of hurting the emperor......"
Wen Tiren flicked his sleeves and shouted angrily: "Didn't the old man say it? You just do what you are told, and the old man will bear all the consequences! What are you still doing? Don't have any scruples, break down the door and kill the thief! ”
The Commander's face changed, and he looked at Wen Tiren in horror.
Wen Tiren glared at him coldly, and the commander was helpless, so he had to give it up.
"Okay, Wen Tiren, our family understands it! You really don't care about the emperor's safety! Si Li Bingbi Wang Chengen, who was held aside, was shocked and angry, and jumped to his feet and scolded: "Old man Wen, if the emperor is missing a hair, you will wait for the nine clans!" ”
Wen Tiren's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, and his eyes staring at Wang Chengen were extremely fierce: "You eunuch talks too much!" Someone, send him on his way! ”
"You dare?!" Wang Chengen was shocked.
Wen Tiren smiled coldly, and said proudly, "The old man doesn't even care about the emperor today, what else dare you not do?!" ”
Wang Chengen's face suddenly turned earthy, pointed at Wen Tiren, and trembled and shouted, "You, you, how dare you do this?" Who gave you the guts? ”
Wen Tiren sneered: "Dying, there is no need to know so much!" ”
Suddenly, Wen Tiren's face changed, and he looked back suddenly, puzzled: "What sound?" ”
The commander of the guards also heard the movement, listened carefully for a while, and then his face changed greatly, and he shouted in horror: "Why are there so many people? Oh no, the palace gates are open! An army is coming in! ”
Wen Tiren's face changed greatly, "How come?" Who leaked the news? ”
Of course, no one could answer him.
"Report!!" A guard flew over and bowed his hand to the commander of the guards: "General Qiyu, Cabinet Elder Xu Ge, Elder Sun Ge and Jinyi Wei Governor Luo Yangxing led the Jinyi Guard to come over here!" ”
The commander's face changed, and he asked in surprise, "How many of them are there?" ”
"There are thousands!"
The commander turned ashen, looked at Elder Wen Ge, and asked in a panic, "Elder Ge, what should I do now?" ”
Wen Tiren's expression changed, he stomped his feet suddenly, looked up at the closed Heart Cultivation Palace, murderous, and hissed: "Before they arrived, crash open the door of the temple and rush in to kill the traitor Xu Liang!" (To be continued.) )
