Then came the jumbled screams, humming dizzily in the empty hall. The bluffing guards understood that this assassin was a master of martial arts, and even if there was no emperor in his hands, it would probably be a dead end to rush first, so even if the commander with the flower feather on his head repeatedly signaled, he did not dare to be the first to take the lead.

Liu Meng's spirit was highly nervous at this time, and when he saw a guard in the crowd with his hands in his leather pockets, he wanted to find an opportunity to cast a hidden weapon, so he immediately made a preemptive strike, and with a shake of his left hand, an iron snake cone flew silently. Although the strength of the fake iron snake cone is not as strong as the golden snake cone, it is still extraordinary under the internal force, and the guard groaned, his left eye was pierced, and the tip of the cone went deep into his brain, and his head was tilted when he was out of breath.

With this outstanding hidden weapon, the guards suddenly roared, frightening everyone to take care of their own defense. With a sneer, Liu Meng didn't bother to take care of this group of guards, moved his right hand lightly, moved the tip of the sword away from Kangxi's chin, and under the nervous gaze of the guards, slowly slashed across his shoulders and elbows, and finally stopped on the back of his left hand.

"All out!" Liu Meng repeated, seeing that the guards were unmoved, he immediately lowered his head and stared at Kangxi, who was pale and had closed his lips and had not made a sound, and suddenly laughed strangely, and the tip of the sword was slightly forced, and it had pierced into the joint of his index finger. "Ahh finally couldn't help the pain of ten fingers connected to his heart, Kangxi screamed in pain, and sweating profusely broke out in an instant.

"Don't hurt the emperor!" "Guy, stop! Let's go out! Let's go out! ”

The highest grade present was undoubtedly Duolong, the head of the imperial guard. Although Liu Meng's sword stabbed Kangxi just now, it was more terrifying than cutting off his hands. Doron was sweating all over his body, and he didn't care about any escort, so he quickly begged for mercy, begged the assassin to stop, and then turned around and shouted and cursed, driving all the dozens of guards out of the hall.

"Go find someone who has a lot to say!" Like every robber who takes hostages, Liu Meng asks for a big enough official to negotiate with him, preferably some kind of iron hat prince or minister.

Without waiting for Duolong to retreat, a calm voice came from under his feet: "The most important thing is here." ”

The little emperor is quite kind, right? Liu Meng waved his hand for Duolong to continue to carry out the order, and then raised Kangxi's chin with the tip of his sword, and looked at it with a slurp: "Eagle hooked nose, big eyes, full face, to the appearance of a heroic emperor." "But! Xiao Mazi, you are now a captive of Lao Tzu! What nonsense! As he spoke, his wrist shook slightly, the blade of his sword twitched horizontally, and he slapped him on the ground.

This time it was no lighter than pumping with his hands, and blood immediately flowed from the corners of Kangxi's mouth. "If you want to open your mouth again, Lao Tzu will smash your mouth full of teeth!" With a threat, Liu Meng beckoned a yellow coat that the cat was observing at the door of the hall to come over, and then instructed him to quickly find a good pen to write, and let him record something.

The emperor was in the hands of others, and the guards were much more neat, and after a while, a civil official with a four-grade Yunyan was brought in, and according to Liu Meng's request, he set up a table and knelt on one side, ready to write a record.

And Prince Kang, surrounded by a group of military attachés, also came to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and when he entered the hall, he bowed deeply to Liu Meng, and said respectfully: "The courage of this hero is really admirable, if you have any requirements, even if you ask Jieshu, Jieshu will not shirk." "In contrast, Prince Kang is much older and more sleek, so that Liu Meng can ask for anything, as long as he can release the emperor first, he can say anything.

"Sit." Motioning for the iron hat king to sit on the hall, seeing his hesitation, Liu Meng saw that there were scattered jade paperweights next to his feet, and immediately kicked it, and the paperweight flew out with a whizz, hitting Prince Kang's knee Liangqiu point, causing him to fall to his knees.

"At this distance, whether you are dead or alive depends on Lao Tzu's mood!" Liu Meng spoke vicious language in his mouth, but his face was extremely calm, which made Prince Kang Jieshu shudder. Turning his head to look at the four-rank civil official who was shrinking behind the case, Liu Meng ordered him to start recording, as long as he found that he missed a word, he would stab Kangxi with a sword as punishment!

Liu Meng groaned, removed the long sword from Kangxi's chin, and said in a deep voice: "Qin loses its deer, and the world will chase it away." Everyone wants to do it, and you Tartars want to come, and it's understandable. But it's been twenty-seven years since you entered the customs, and look at what you've done? He took a long breath, looked at Prince Kang, who was sitting paralyzed in the hall, silent, and looked at Kangxi who was unconvinced at his feet, Liu Meng said word by word: "Shaving your hair and making it easy to wear, enclosing land and occupying houses, and throwing in as fugitives, what have the people of the world tossed for you!" ”

Kangxi snorted, and saw that the other party did not allow it, so he opened his mouth to argue: "We are full of people, and if we want to sit firmly in the country and make the world peaceful, we naturally have to take some drastic measures. ”

"But what dynasty issued a decree only to kill people?!" Liu Meng shouted angrily, like a thunderbolt. "Yangzhou ten days, Jiading three massacres, Jiangyin slaughter, as well as Suzhou, Nanchang, Xiangtan, Datong, as well as Nanxiong, Guangzhou, Chaozhou, etc., the whole of China, the county is not complete, the village is not complete, the family is not perfect, and the person is not perfect!" Sighing, Liu Meng hummed the folk song of the shop, "The nest of the swallows is empty in the forest, and the corpses are like mountains and reckless. ”

Seeing that the other party was emotional and showed signs of losing control, even if Kangxi was not convinced, he could only keep his mouth shut.

Liu Meng gasped a few times, calmed down, and then said in a deep voice to Prince Kang: "The first request, immediately order, abolish the laws against the sky such as shaving hair and running away. Prince Kang let out an "oh" sound, thinking that this is the country's capital, the decree issued by Lord Shunzhi and Dolgon, who dares to change it, immediately wiped the sweat on his forehead, and did not dare to agree explicitly.

"Good." Liu Meng muttered, and the sword light flashed, "Ah! The screams of pain came out immediately, and the little finger of Kangxi's left hand had been cut off, and his whole body twitched in pain, and he shook his head again and again. Emperor! Prince Kang exclaimed, and then nodded again and again: 'A good man is angry, a good man is angry!' I will let people draw up a decree and abolish it with a seal. ”

"Hmm!" Liu Meng waved his long sword and continued: "The second requirement is that in the past twenty-seven years, all the counties and towns that have been slaughtered must build a temple of heroic souls, and worship incense endlessly to comfort the unjust souls. ”

"The third requirement is to repeal the 'text. Prison', to maintain the orthodox culture of the Han family, and not to use any excuse to revive the "Ming History Case" and other major cases. ”

"The fourth requirement, never give!"

To be honest, except for the first request, which really embarrassed Prince Kang, the remaining three were not so difficult to do, and they immediately nodded like pounding garlic, and responded with a stack of voices. And after Kangxi relieved the pain, he listened to it in his ears, and there was no objection.

Liu Meng turned his face and asked the civil official who recorded it, asked him to repeat it, and after confirming that it was correct, he leaned over and lifted Kangxi, and said to Prince Kang: "Two years later, I will come again, if one of these four requirements is not complied with, I'm sorry, you, the wise and martial emperor, will have to move your head!" Seeing that Prince Kang promised to do so, Liu Meng laughed unscrupulously: "Hey! Whether you do it or not, it's all up to you, this emperor is dead, you can still set up another one, anyway, your prince and brother have a lot. Let's see, whether you stand fast or I kill fast. ”

After a pause, Liu Meng looked at the black soldiers outside the main hall and said, "After the business is done, I have to go back, there are too many eagles and dogs outside, let them all get out!" Realizing the other party's decisiveness and blackheartedness, Prince Kang didn't dare to joke with the emperor's body, and immediately shouted the order, asking the guard commander Duolong to pass the order, and all the guards outside the palace and the officers and soldiers of the three major battalions withdrew.

How to retreat with his whole body, Liu Meng had already made a plan, and immediately asked Prince Kang Jieshu to prepare three horses. He rode one horse and led the other, Prince Kang rode one, put Kangxi in front of the saddle, ignored the tide of Qing soldiers who followed behind, and swaggered out of the palace. When he arrived at the south city gate, in order to prevent the Qing court from doing anything on the horses, he exchanged war horses with the officers guarding the gate, and then put Kangxi down according to his words, but secretly used internal force in his chest and injured his Shaoyin and kidney meridians.

Although out of the city of Beijing, but he was not safe, it was a matter of time before he was caught up by the cavalry of the cavalry battalion behind, so Liu Meng forced Prince Kang to send another ride, until the day was close to noon, after passing Nanyuan, this was at a fork in the road to beat the horse and gallop, and when night fell, the war horse foamed at the mouth and fell tired, and then performed light skills to escape into the mountains and forests, and then galloped westward.

In the heavily defended palace, the king of a country was single-handedly held hostage, and he was forced to accept four humiliating demands. Even though I heard the news that the princes who arrived strictly ordered the blockade, but in an instant, all the streets and alleys of Beijing City were spread, especially in the morning, when the countless soldiers accompanied each other, but they did not dare to take one more step forward, which opened the eyes of the old and young masters.

When the news spread to the north and south of the river, many people with lofty ideals were very excited, and in Yangzhou, Jiading and other places where they had suffered, the people were crying with tears in their eyes. As for the hero who captured the Tartar chieftain with a single sword, it has become the most revered legend on the rivers and lakes, and anti-Qing organizations in various places have taken advantage of this to weave many heroic stories, which have been passed down for decades.

================

Two months later, the cold wind howled and the water dripped.

In the Luding Mountain, near the city of Yaksa, in the northland, at the mouth of an extremely secret cave, a few rows of chaotic footprints extended into it.

"Xiaobao, the letter entrusted to you must be handed over to the master and sister in person, the location of the joint is at the Long Island Wharf opposite Penglai, this golden snake cone is a token, except for a few gang leaders on the island, no one can show it, so as not to get into trouble." The one who said such a bitter heart was naturally Liu Meng, who was wrapped in a mink jacket all over his body at the moment, and repeatedly explained to Wei Xiaobao, who was also dressed up.

"Also, your two sisters-in-law, Su Quan and Ah Ke, after arriving in the Boni Kingdom, if you encounter any difficulties, I hope you will take care of them more. Two years later, if I haven't returned, they will either go back to the Central Plains or stay there, everything is up to them, and you must not stop them. ”

On the same day, he decided to go to the palace to kidnap Kangxi, so Liu Meng left a letter in the inn, and asked Wei Xiaobao to arrange for Shuang'er and Su Quan Ake and other female dependents to go to Penglai to wait first, and only Wei Xiaobao was allowed to bring the treasure map he spelled out to meet in Yaksa City in the north. And now this letter entrusted to He Tishou, in addition to asking her to take care of Wei Xiaobao, Su Quan and others, also specially explained why the Tatar chieftain was held hostage, and the four requirements were attached and forwarded to Yuan Chengzhi, the ancestor of his uncle, for reading, as for if the Manchu Qing did not follow it two years later, what Yuan Chengzhi should do, that is another matter.

After explaining everything, Liu Meng took the treasure map into his arms, and with Wei Xiaobao's cooperation, he opened the mechanism, revealing an extremely vast hall, looking at the mountains of various treasures and weapons inside, somehow, the two brothers were not interested at all.

Randomly picked a few items that looked more precious, and took some rare Beizhu as a gift to go to Bibo Village in Boni Country, Wei Xiaobao was reluctant to say goodbye with tears under Liu Meng's strong request, went out of the cave and went down the mountain, accompanied by Gao Yanchao and other brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society who came to respond, and returned to the south.
