Unconsciously, the chessboard has been crisscrossed with black and white, between the words, the situation on the chessboard has been extremely complicated, on the bright side, Han Xuandao's chess has the upper hand, but the emperor has laid several dark chess on the chessboard at the beginning, but at this time it has shown great disaster, Han Xuandao wants to win this game of chess, but it still needs to take a lot of effort.

"When did you poison me?" The Emperor asked suddenly.

Han Xuandao frowned, and asked rhetorically: "If it weren't for Han Mo who seized the military power in the northwest and led the troops back to help, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who led the troops back to Beijing, would the Holy Lord leave us family officials a way to live?" ”

The emperor smiled indifferently and said, "You still need to ask me about this?" ”

Han Xuandao sighed: "It's the ministers who asked more." The ultimate goal of the Holy Lord is to eradicate us clans, and if the military power in the northwest is in hand, it will naturally not let us live. ”

"I know that the prince is a dangerous move, but I am willing to let him try it once." The emperor said calmly: "Su Yuting is an ambitious young man, he is willing to help the prince succeed, and he has brought the Su family in. If the prince succeeds, the Su family will certainly have merit, but your other clans will definitely not continue to survive, and if the prince is defeated, the Su family will have no good results. He sighed and said, "In my calculations, no matter whether the crown prince succeeds or fails, it seems that you family officials have no chance of survival. It's just that I have calculated a lot, but I didn't expect that Han Mo would be able to enter the city to contact the people in the West Flower Hall, let alone that he could persuade the soldiers of the Nine Sects who had already laid down their weapons to take up arms again, which would ruin my big deal. Every time I think about it, I always have the feeling of shooting myself in the foot, hey...... Although I am the son of heaven, this time, my heavenly father did not help me! ”

"If you miss a move, you will lose the whole game." Han Xuandao also sighed lightly: "The Holy Lord thinks about getting rid of our families day and night, how can we sit still and wait for death? Your Majesty's crossing of the river and demolishing the bridge is unkind and unjust, and if we want to survive, we can only fight against the water. He paused for a moment, as if thinking about something, and said after a while: "The saint is so scheming, he has concealed countless people, after the Ye and Wu families were destroyed two years ago, the minister mobilized a large number of manpower and material resources to investigate secretly, and finally knew the overall situation laid out by the saint, and did not hide it from the saint, every time the minister got the news, he was terrified in his heart, and he couldn't sleep all night. His eyes suddenly became as sharp as a blade, staring at the emperor's eyes: "After the imperial family took control of Bozhou County, the power became bigger and bigger, a few months ago, the crown prince, who had never participated in political affairs, actually wanted to go to the northwest to inspect, and the minister knew that the hand of the imperial family began to reach out to the northwest army." The minister was uneasy, if the Northwest Army was controlled by the Holy Lord, would our families still have a way to live? ”

"I see." The emperor bowed slightly: "When the prince went to the northwest, you used that palace maid named Ling Yan'er to poison the soup I drank?" ”

"If the saint continues to think about dealing with my family, my Dayan will be chaotic, so the minister can only make this decision. But the minister didn't dare to deceive the saint, not only did the queen not know anything about this matter, but even Ling Yan'er didn't know that what I handed over to her was poison. Han Xuandao said very frankly: "She only thought it was a rare medicinal herb used to replenish the body of the Holy Lord. ”

"Han Xuandao, it seems that you are really bold." The emperor sneered: "You poisoned me, you were already bold, but today you still dare to enter the palace by order, do you think I will not take this opportunity to kill you?" ”

Han Xuandao's face was fearless, and he said solemnly: "For the sake of Dayan's long-term peace and stability, the minister can't bear to see the wind and rain again, so he can only do this, and ask the Holy God to forgive his sins." The minister is not afraid of death, if the Holy One wants to give death, but please speak! ”

"For Dayan's long-term peace and stability?" The emperor laughed: "Han Xuandao, what you said is really high-sounding hypocrisy, you poisoned me, and you want to forgive your sins?" ”

"The real purpose of the minister's entry into the palace tonight is just to tell the saint a word!"

"What?"

"The battle ahead is tight, and my Dayan can't collapse two pillars at the same time!"

"Han Xuandao, you are really unashamed, do you think that you are the national pillar of my Dayan?"

Han Xuandao's expression was calm, and he nodded: "The minister doesn't dare to be arrogant. But the minister can be sure that if His Majesty and the minister leave at the same time, then my Dayan will definitely be in a mess. The rear is unstable, and no matter how brave our Dayan army is, it will not be able to continue to use troops against the Wei State. If the army at the front is in turmoil, it will be difficult to control, and the powerful counties will definitely cause trouble, and the entire Great Yan Kingdom will also fall into great turmoil...... Is this what the Holy One wants to see? ”

The Emperor smiled coldly and did not speak.

The night breeze blew, and the emperor's hand was gently clenched.

After a long time, the emperor showed a strange smile and said word by word: "Han Xuandao, even if I don't kill you, this game of chess will not be won by you in the end." I...... Waiting for you to play chess below! ”

……

Yi Kongting was fighting one against three, getting more and more difficult, his shoulder was already slapped hard by the old man, and his entire right arm had become sore, he wanted to rush out and grab the horse and flee several times, but the three of them surrounded him tightly, and there was no space to escape at all.

Yi Kongting's heart was full of chagrin.

His martial arts skills were originally extremely strong, but because of the loss of strength, he was now going to die in the hands of such three people, which was really unwilling.

What he regretted even more in his heart was that the task entrusted to him by the emperor could not be completed.

At the critical moment, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, Yi Kongting secretly complained in his heart, only thinking that the enemy had come to reinforce again.

In the night, I saw five or six horses galloping like flying, and the three people besieging Yi Kongting were obviously taken aback, the five or six horses were like a whirlwind in the night, swept over, and the horses were all wearing black cloaks, and they were also wearing hats.

There was no nonsense, a few people got close, holding arrows and crossbows, and they actually shot crossbow arrows at the three people besieging Yi Kongting.

It is not easy to shoot a crossbow immediately, but these people are not only skillful and agile, but also have excellent accuracy, "whoosh" sounded, and there was actually a crossbow who besieged Yi Kongting's hat man fell to the ground, and died without snorting.

The old man with the hat who attacked Yi Kongting and the other man with the hat dodged in a thrilling way.

Yi Kongting was so sophisticated, as soon as someone came to make a move, he knew that it was a rescuer, and he didn't delay, so he rushed towards the old man's mount and wanted to take the horse and leave.

The sudden knights did not continue to shoot at the old man, but shot the crossbow arrows at the other two horses at the same time, the horses neighed, turned over and fell to the ground, when the two horses fell to the ground and could no longer move, several knights who came like the wind left like the wind, really like a wind sweeping, only shooting a few arrows.

But that's enough.

Yi Kongting turned over the horse, shook the reins of the horse, and galloped westward, the old man wanted to chase, but the other two horses had been killed, but there was no horse to chase and kill.

Under the darkness of the night, the old man with the hat slowly took off the hat, revealing a rather old face, but it was Han Yin, the leader of the shadow guard under Han Xuandao.

Looking at Yi Kongting's distant back, Han Yin's eyes were murderous.

……

At dawn, Han Xuandao came out of the palace with a cold expression, and before he could get into the carriage, an attendant had already walked up quickly and presented a secret letter: "My lord, the secret letter of flying pigeons!" ”

Han Xuandao opened the secret letter and looked at it for a while, his expression became extremely strange.

He put the secret letter in his hand, clenched his hand, and for a moment, the secret letter had been squeezed by his hand, and he handed the sparse secret letter to the attendant beside him, but the attendant crumpled it into a small ball, threw it into his mouth and swallowed it.

Han Xuandao raised his head and looked at the dawn faintly appearing in the sky, his expression was extremely strange, and after a while, he sighed lightly: "Little Wu, don't blame me!" ”

In the Imperial Garden, the emperor was also looking at the dawn that appeared in the sky with his hands behind his back.

His expression was very calm, and the breeze blew his shirt up.

After a while, he whispered: "A sleep in forty-two years, a glass of wine in one period; I don't know life or death, the years are just like a dream! He turned around and walked slowly along the path.

In the deserted imperial garden, the back of the Emperor Dayan was lonely and lonely, sleeping for forty-two years, and went with the wind.
