As the Spring Festival approached, the snow in the capital became heavier and heavier.

Emperor Zhou was still actively planning the war with the Chen State, and he was furious with a letter that said that several ministers were secretly plotting against him in private, intending to force him to abdicate and support the five princes to ascend the throne.

Rebellion was the last thing that Emperor Zhou could not tolerate, and immediately ordered the Imperial Forest Army to arrest all the people listed on the fold, but what surprised him even more was that the city guards dared to stop the Royal Forest Army from arresting people!

He suddenly realized, could it be that the city protector was reversed? He has been looking at the outside world, never thought that there would be any problems around him, if the city guards are reversed, then only the royal forest army in the capital, it is difficult to protect the palace safely, and the cavalry battalion must enter the city to protect it!

He thought of Changsun Chi, who had a conflict with the city protector and was suspected by him, could he really be wronged? And Lao Wu, is he innocent? What role did he play in this?

Emperor Zhou did not care very much about the affairs of the city guards on the surface, on the one hand, he sent a decree to Changsun Chi, ordering him to enter the palace and avoid sainthood, and on the other hand, he quietly summoned Zhao Li to come for questioning.

"I've seen Concubine De Niangniang, I've seen the Five Princes!" Chang Shan saluted the two of them, "Your Majesty Xuan Fifth Prince is going to see you!" ”

"Do you know why I was announced?" Zhao Li asked.

Chang Shan was silent for a moment and said: "According to the opinion of the servants, Your Majesty is already suspicious of the five princes and Concubine De, and it is inevitable that you will be placed under house arrest by Your Majesty as soon as you go, so it is recommended not to go, and leave the palace directly!" ”

"Doubtful?" The fifth prince bit his lip and thought about it, his face became a little ugly, "Thank you father-in-law for reminding him!" ”

"If the fifth prince wants to leave, he will have a long night, please leave as soon as possible!" Chang Shan said.

"And what do you do?" The fifth prince asked.

"The minions have their own way to get out, and the five princes don't have to worry about the minions!" Chang Shan said, "So the slave will leave first, if the fifth prince sees the prince and the princess, say hello on behalf of the slave!" ”

"Good!"

Chang Shan left, and Concubine De asked worriedly, "Is he credible?" Isn't he one of His Majesty's? Why did you come to tell us? ”

"It should be reliable!" Zhao Li bit his lip and thought about it and said, "He told me about his father's intention to kill Brother Zhao Ling last time, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to send a message to Sister Xiaoyu and them in time, since the last son didn't deceive us, there is no need this time!" This kind of thing would rather be believed than not, if I go over and am really under house arrest or killed by my father, everything we have done is in vain, it is better to leave the palace first! ”

"Good!" Concubine De said, "Anyway, our mother and son live and die together, and this palace is not a place for people to linger, so let's leave!" ”

After the mother and son finished discussing, they immediately found an excuse and left the palace together, and after getting in touch with Jiang Xiaoyu, they immediately went to the hiding place she designated, and there would be someone to protect his safety and life.

On the other hand, when the eldest grandson Chi received the holy decree from His Majesty, he was ready to enter the palace to be exempted, but the horse stopped halfway through, he looked coldly at Jiang Xiaoyu, Yang Xing and Liu Xiaodong who were in front of the carriage, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "I didn't expect you to return to the capital, I didn't get any news, and I can do it so quietly......"

He paused, as if he had thought of something: "Zhao Qu? Did he help you get back to Da Zhou? ”

"Yes!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly.

"I didn't expect you to dare to appear in front of me so openly!" Eldest Sun Chi said, "This time I won't give you another chance to escape!" ”

"Not only dare to appear in front of you openly, but I will also ask for your life to avenge the original arrow!" Jiang Xiaoyu said coldly.

"Do you think you have this opportunity?" The eldest grandson smiled disdainfully.

Jiang Xiaoyu smiled coldly: "If I don't have a chance, what am I doing here?" ”

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she said sarcastically: "It's a shame that you have been loyal to Emperor Zhou until now, Emperor Zhou seems to disdain your loyalty, you betrayed your family, and it was just in exchange for such a result, don't you feel chilling?" Are you still loyal to him today? ”

Jiang Xiaoyu's words hit the sore spot of Changsun Chi, being Emperor Zhou was indeed what made him feel cold, but he couldn't admit it, he couldn't admit that his concessions and sacrifices were meaningless, he smiled faintly: "Xia worm can't talk to ice, I never did those things for His Majesty's trust, but for the future of the Great Zhou, if you have a lofty ambition, naturally you don't care about the gains and losses of this point!" ”

"There's no point in arguing with each other about this!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Since I am here today, it is destined that only one of us can live!" ”

"Let the horses come!" The eldest grandson Chi shouted coldly.

Jiang Xiaoyu pulled out his saber and flew towards Changsun Chi at his feet, and at this time, Changsun Chi also flew up from his horse, and the two exchanged hands in the air.

At the same time, Changsun Chi's guards also began to attack, and Yang Xing and Liu Xiaodong quickly jumped up and fought with them. Although these guards are also good players, they also cooperate with each other tacitly, and they have an advantage in numbers, but they are by no means the opponents of their two masters, and they are forced to retreat by the fierce swordsmanship of the two, and they are miserable!

If they were to be other people, they might still have a chance to win, but the cooperation between them was born in the Xiao Riding Camp, and these Yang Xing were all too familiar, so they couldn't bargain for half a point in front of him.

Although these people wanted to go up to help Changsun Chi, they didn't have the slightest chance to get close, and they didn't even have a chance to bypass these two evil gods!

Jiang Xiaoyu and Changsun Chi fought alone, Changsun Chi is a fierce general on the battlefield, the moves are open and close with infinite power, although Jiang Xiaoyu's martial arts have not recovered to their peak, but the moves are unpredictable, all kinds of hidden weapons emerge in endlessly, the two can't tell the winner for a while, and they fought more than a dozen moves, and the fight was a draw.

Liu Xiaodong came up and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, are you his opponent!" ”

"I don't know if I come to help!" Jiang Xiaoyu scolded.

"It's coming!"

Liu Xiaodong laughed, hurriedly stepped forward, joined forces with Jiang Xiaoyu, and fought with Changsun Chi again!

The eldest grandson Chi talked about martial arts alone, and he was definitely not able to fight against Jiang Xiaoyu and Liu Xiaodong teaming up, and the three of them fought less than ten moves, and he was kicked in the chest by Jiang Xiaoyu, took a few steps back, and spat blood.

Jiang Xiaoyu slashed the sword in his hand and said, "Eldest Sun Chi, although you almost killed me and Zhao Ling, I didn't want to kill you!" It's not so today, it's really that you are too loyal to Emperor Zhou, and if you don't kill you, you will be a big obstacle! You are indeed a loyal minister, and you are also a capable minister, to be honest, the Great Zhou needs you before it is opened! Now, unless Your Majesty has the ability to turn the sky with one hand, otherwise the overall situation has been decided, if you can support the five princes as the new emperor like us, I will spare your life! Aren't you saying it for the sake of Da Zhou, leaving your name and defending your family and the country isn't what you want to do? ”

"I'd rather die than be a rebel!" Eldest Sun Chi gritted his teeth and said, "If I can deceive myself with this, why did I come to this day? How is what you are doing now different from that of my grandfather? is so short-sighted, regardless of the future of Da Zhou! ”

"Your so-called future is you and Emperor Zhou, you people can go down in history, but you need countless people to lose their lives for your ambitions, what is the future of the Great Zhou? It is to let the people really stay away from the flames of war, and to live is better than anything else! Jiang Xiaoyu shouted.

The words are not speculative, what the two see and think is completely different, so there is no need to argue anymore. The three of them fought together again, and this time the moves of the three of them were even more fierce and vicious, eager to take people's lives! The eldest grandson Chi struggled to support more than ten moves, and was pierced through the shoulder by Liu Xiaodong's sword, he quickly took a few steps back, ignoring the bleeding wound, and attacked the two of them again!

With a flicker, Jiang Xiaoyu turned around and pierced Changsun Chi's abdomen with a sword, bleeding like an infusion, Changsun Chi covered the wound on his stomach, and blood also overflowed from his mouth, standing his sword inside to support himself, and shouted at Jiang Xiaoyu: "Come on!" Come again! ”

Liu Xiaodong wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Jiang Xiaoyu and said, "I'll go!" ”

She stepped forward with a cold face, Changsun Chi clenched the sword in his hand and stabbed at her, Jiang Xiaoyu dodged sideways, knocked the sword in his hand away, and then quickly changed his move, scratched his wrist, and kicked him on the knee.

The eldest grandson Chi half knelt in front of Jiang Xiaoyu, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at her and said with a mocking smile: "Although I didn't have the opportunity to experience the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty described by His Majesty, I don't regret it, for my faith, I have been able to do everything I can, you kill me!" Today, if you don't let the iron hooves of the Great Zhou step on the four seas, you will definitely regret one day! ”

"All I hope is that there will never be a day of war again!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly, and the sword in his hand slashed Changsun Chi's throat.

"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go first!" Liu Xiaodong came over and glanced at the corpse on the ground and said.

"Hmm!" Jiang Xiaoyu withdrew his gaze and shouted Yang Xing, and the three of them disappeared at the corner at the same time, and then the city guards came to the scene late!

And half an hour later, the news that Changsun Chi was assassinated by Jiang Xiaoyu reached the ears of Emperor Zhou!

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, he dared to assassinate the loyal ministers of the court, damnable! Abominable!

Emperor Zhou's face turned blue, and he began to have a trace of panic in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What about the fifth prince, why hasn't it arrived yet!" ”
