After a night of chaos, the imperial city of Luoyang gradually brightened.

In the majestic and huge Taiji Hall, there were five people standing in a few places.

Han Su, Guo Xiang, Hong Ren, Dong Meng and Gao Lishi.

On the emperor's throne in the hall, it was not Emperor Hui who was sitting, but Empress Jia!

However, for such a rebellious practice, the five people in the temple all turned a blind eye and were indifferent.

Jia Houwei sat in the throne, his eyes were full of excitement, he glanced down at the five top masters standing in the Taiji Palace, and cast his eyes on the white clouds outside the hall, and there was a pride in the world......

It's been so many years that I've finally waited for this day......

First, when she was the crown princess, she looked up to Emperor Wu who destroyed the Three Kingdoms, ruled the world, and established the Great Jin Dynasty. After the death of Emperor Wu, Yang Jun, the Taifu who had the power to lean towards the government and the opposition, and finally the treacherous and cunning Runan Wang Liang, the shrewd and capable Tai Baowei, and the decisive Chu Wang Wei......

However, these people, now they are all down one by one.

And he has enjoyed the fruits of all this and has become the real master of this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains! Become the Empress Lu of the Great Jin Dynasty! Create an era of your own!

Empress Jia was fiercely self-intoxicated, and then she noticed the five people in the hall, gently rubbed her temples, and said with a smile: "You are all fortunate. ”

The five people in the hall leaned over slightly, and said in unison: "Serve the mother, don't dare to say bitter!" ”

Empress Jia nodded and said, "I don't know how the sect master is doing now?" ”

Guo Xiang's face was pale and extremely ugly at this time, and it seemed that he was seriously injured when he fought with the governor yesterday. He stepped forward and said, "Back to Niangniang, the sect master is still in retreat and practicing. Presumably, it will take more than a month to get out. The sect master had ordered before the retreat that everything was up to the mother. ”

Guo Xiang took a deep breath, only to feel a pain in his chest between breaths. Although he and Du Jue are both in the transformation realm, his martial arts are also in the middle of Han Su Dujue. And the unique martial arts attainments are close to Hongren, faintly breaking through the transformation realm and stepping into the way of heaven.

Last night, he went all out to block the governor, although he achieved his goal and successfully dragged the governor, but he was also seriously injured by the governor, and it seems that there is no one or two months of recuperation, and he can't recover.

Jia Hou smiled: "Thank you for your trust. Hehe, what about the King of Chu? ”

This time it was Dong Meng's turn to say: "Back to Niangniang, the king of Chu has lost too much blood and is in the side hall." The minions have already sent the imperial doctor to treat the king of Chu in the past, and now it should be fine. ”

Empress Jia said "um" and said, "The King of Chu can't die now, and we still have to rely on him to block the hundreds of thousands of troops outside." ”

Dong Meng laughed and said: "Niangniang is relieved, without the King of Chu in charge, I am afraid that many people in the forbidden army will not be able to sit still." If there are people who will not change their minds at all, in fact, there are only 30,000 horses of the Chu army, and the old slave has already ordered the palace guards to monitor the Chu army in Sima Gate. As for the other forbidden troops, hehe, as long as the time is long, and the morale of the army is in turmoil, we will ask for a holy decree to keep them abandoning their weapons and surrendering! ”

Jia Hou smiled and said, "Well done! After the major event is decided, the palace will definitely reward the meritorious deeds! Now, let's wait and see what happens! Look at what the three sons of the king of Chu and the surrounding can do! ”

In the Sima Gate of Nangong, the palace guards and the Chu army were facing each other dozens of zhang apart, and the atmosphere was tense and depressing, and there was a great posture of imminent war.

Inside the city tower, Sima Ting woke up faintly, and saw Sima Yi standing on the edge of the bed, looking at him nervously.

found that Sima Ting woke up, Sima Yi looked happy and said: "Seventh, you are finally awake, you have been in a coma for seven days, and when the second brother brought you back that day, you were covered in blood, which frightened the third brother." ”

After that, he turned his head to a Chu general beside him and said, "Quickly call Prince Ji and them in." ”

General Chu leaned over and turned around and strode out of the city tower.

Sima Ting supported himself with his hands and sat up slowly, only to feel that there was no pain in his whole body. However, he didn't have time to take care of his body, and said urgently to Sima Yi: "Third brother! How's my father doing? ”

Ismaili's face stiffened, his eyes slowly dimmed, and he said in a deep voice: "Gao Lishi stabbed his father, and his father was restrained by Gao Lishi stabbing him in the waist with a dagger, and now his father has fallen into the hands of Empress Jia." ”

Sima Ting slammed his fist on the bed and said fiercely: "Bastard! Qing Xuanzong, I, Sima Ting, am not finished with you! ”

As soon as the words fell, Sima Ting saw Zhou Chu, Sima Ji and Du Jue walking in one after another, and asked suspiciously: "What about Wei Qi?" ”

Sima Yi snorted disdainfully and said, "Don't mention it, Seventh, after my father was captured, Wei Qi suddenly disappeared, and nine times out of ten, he ran away depending on the situation." Hum! White-eyed wolf! It was also a loss to the seventh child to beg his father to release their whole family. ”

"Ran away...... Sima Ting muttered to himself, but he was a little dissatisfied with Sima Yi's words, the Wei family still has a hundred and ten lives, if it is recognized, where can the one hundred and ten people of the Wei family go? Wei Qi is doing this now, and he can't be blamed, even if he is replaced, he will definitely not risk the lives of the whole family to fight for fame and fortune, besides, the situation is extremely unfavorable to the Chu Palace...... At that time, he and Wei Shuo secretly infiltrated the Chu Palace, and they also had this kind of plan, right?!

Zhou came to Sima Ting's side, and said with a faint smile: "Prince Ting, you are awake." ”

Sima Ting looked at Zhou and shouted, "Lord Zhou." He turned to Sima Ji again: "Second brother." Sima Ji nodded at him.

Sima Ting's gaze stopped on Du Jue: "Master......"

Du Jue nodded at him as well.

Sima Ting took a deep breath and asked, "Master, how are the elders of the Holy Gate?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the tower, and the sound of everyone's heavy breathing could be heard clearly.

Du Jue broke the silence with a loud voice, and said word by word: "Duanmu Qing is seriously injured, and the others are dead." ”

Du Jue said it simply, but how could others imagine the tragedy in it.

Sima Ting couldn't help but be silent, although he had long expected this ending, but hearing Du Jue say it himself still made him deeply sad. Nahong Shinobi is really powerful! There were only nine deacons and elders in the Demon Gate, including his father, and now in order to save him, half of them were killed by Hongnin at once. The strength of the Demon Gate can be described as a big loss!

After being silent for a long time, Sima Ting said categorically: "The revenge of the four elders, I, Sima Ting, will definitely avenge it one day!" ”

Du Jue stared at Sima Ting with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I believe in you for the teacher." ”

Zhou interjected: "Okay, everyone, the matter of revenge will be pressed first." Now the top priority is to come up with a way to rescue the prince first. ”

Sima Ting moved his arm slightly, and said, "I don't know what Master Zhou's plan is?" ”

Zhou Chu shook his head and said: "Zhou mobilized the forbidden army in the name of the prince overnight to surround the palace layer by layer, but the king of Chu was captured, the forbidden army lost its commander, and our command of the forbidden army is not justified. Although it can be suppressed temporarily, it will inevitably change over time. At that time, the only thing we can rely on is the 30,000 Chu troops of Sima Men. Zhou is stupid. I've been thinking about it for two days, but I still can't think of a complete solution. I wonder if His Royal Highness Prince Thunder has a clever plan? ”

Sima Ting pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "With Lord Zhou's intelligence, there is no way, how can I think of it." It seems that for today's plan, we can only compromise with Jia Hou first, and we will go back to Chudi, rest and recuperate for the time being, and then slowly figure it out.

Lord Zhou, sent someone into the palace to send a message to Empress Jia, saying that we are willing to return to Jingzhou, no longer interfere in court politics from now on, and wholeheartedly guard the southern border for the Great Jin Dynasty in the future. The only requirement was to release the king of Chu. If Jia Hou doesn't agree before sunset today, hum! We will wave our army into the imperial city, and everyone will burn the jade! ”

Zhou Shi's eyes were cold, and he nodded vigorously and said: "A ruthless character like Empress Jia, I really should give her some color, and I will give her an order." After that, he turned around and went out of the city tower to find someone to send a message to Empress Jia.

Sima Yi looked at the back of the people who went out everywhere, and asked Sima Ting worriedly: "Old Seven, if Empress Jia really doesn't agree, do we really disregard the safety of our father and attack with our army?" ”

Sima Ting sighed and said, "Third brother, I have no choice but to gamble." We must fight a quick victory, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will be. Now we can at least mobilize the Praetorian Army. In case after a long time, the morale of the army in the forbidden army is chaotic, then we will really die and have no place to be buried. ”

Du Jue stood aside, looking at Sima Ting, his eyes were full of complicated emotions, and he secretly said in his heart: Blood slaughter, your death will not be worthless.
