"Fifteen, sixteen...... Twenty. Duan Meimei leaned against the crack in the window and pricked up her ears to listen.

Sister Qiao lay on the bed loudly, put her feet on the guardrail at the end of the bed, stilted high, and the most annoying thing was that she was still humming a little song in her mouth.

"Infatuated woman, amorous man...... In the second half of the night, I stuck to the window, counting and waiting for Lang to come, hey, hey......"

"Stupid." Duan Meimei scolded Sister Qiao angrily.

"You're stupid, he's going to work overtime, are you so concerned?" Sister Qiao asked.

"The one who took Gongzi away was not from their camp, I need to know who took him away." Duan Meimei said.

"What if you know? If the Forbidden Army captures him, can you get him out? Sister Qiao asked.

Duan Meimei wanted to say that Duan Zishou was the one who could challenge the forbidden army camp, but what was the point of explaining this to Sister Qiao?

She looked back and saw Sister Qiao's feet.

"Put it down!" What Duan Meimei can't stand the most is this.

Whether it is the maid who speaks no big or small, or refuses to cover a quilt for a drunk person, all kinds of inconsiderate, unreliable, and undignified cannot escape the eyes of the hotel shopkeeper.

"I want to rest, I'm pregnant!" Sister Qiao is still hard-mouthed.

"You're pregnant, a grass snake gray line! I climbed the wall and climbed the window just now! Duan Meimei glared at her fiercely.

Sister Qiao obediently put her feet down.

Although Sister Qiao grew up with her grandfather since she was a child and suffered a lot when studying medicine, she has a very willful temperament. I believe that this is what Emperor Chai likes.

Xiaogui can manipulate her to do things, but Duan Meimei is the one who can stare at her and give orders.

"In short, Sister Meimei, don't worry too much about your son-in-law, between men and women, the one who is more worried about the other party will lose at the beginning." Sister Qiao's face is old.

"Don't pretend to be sophisticated," Duan Meimei couldn't help but say, "I counted the number of horses, twenty-two horses, and Xu Gongzi untied his horse, so twenty-one people came to him." If it is to pass the news, one person is enough, twenty people come, that is, these twenty soldiers come to listen to his command, but twenty-one people come, that is, someone leads twenty soldiers to take him away. I don't know these people, their horse equipment is red, this is the Long Jie army, it is a cavalryman, and it is a person who does not know the son. If Gongzi really won't come, I will take someone to the cavalry yamen to ask for someone. ”

Only then did Sister Qiao know how immature and honest she was.

"In short, if the boy doesn't come back by dawn, I will shoot you to death with an arrow, so that you and the child will not suffer in the hands of the bad guys!" Duan Meimei said.

"Oh my god!" Sister Qiao rolled into the depths of the bed and covered her head with a quilt, "It is extremely immoral to intimidate an expectant mother!" ”

Things weren't as bad as Duan Meimei imagined, but there was no difference in the degree of sinisterness.

The headquarters of Long Jiejun's army was outside the Vermilion Bird Gate in the imperial city, and Zhao Kuangyin was waiting for Xu Yongzhi here.

"No one else knows you're coming." Zhao Kuangyin was dressed like a white man, worried.

"Duan Meimei knows." Xu Yongzhi said.

"That's fine." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Xu Yongzhi looked at Zhao Kuangyin.

"The assassins are not in the same group as the people who set the monsters, but someone else." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"What does Big Brother know?" Xu Yongzhi is tempting.

"The second child secretly told me that the person who did it was Lei Song." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Commander ......" Xu Yongzhi was a little surprised.

He was surprised that it was not Lei Song who did it, he had already speculated on this possibility, he was surprised that Zhao Er dared to tell his brother so publicly, and he also put his notoriety on Lei Song.

"Lei Song has recently had a child, but the family pressure is very high, the conflict is becoming more and more intense, there are physical problems, I can't sleep, and sometimes I am easy to be irritable and impulsive." Zhao Kuangyin said.

This is true, Lei Song really hasn't closed his eyes for several days, looking at everyone as an enemy.

"The second said that Lei Song didn't want to go to the Northern Han and Khitan because the child was too young, but he couldn't resist the order, in this case, when he rushed to the dormitory, he went crazy and stabbed His Majesty and killed everyone." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Does the eldest brother believe the words of the second general?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"Do I have a choice?" Zhao Kuangyin said.

"I'm not asking you about your decision-making, I'm asking you if you believe it." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I don't believe it, my brother, is evading his own guilt, we all watched the scene, so many people killed them all in one go, only you can do it, I don't have the skills of Lao Zhao." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"If I hadn't been fighting monsters outside the door, I would have been the one who killed the king, right?" Xu Yongzhi smiled bitterly.

"I don't want you to wronged people, I want you to go to Lei Song and ask for his confession." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"What will happen to Lei Song?" Xu Yongzhi no longer calls him by his official name.

"If Lei Song pleaded guilty, then you killed him. If it's the second ......," Zhao Kuangyin put his heart sideways.

"Big brother," Xu Yongzhi looked at Zhao Kuangyin.

"Don't talk about it."

"I'm measured."

"You said that the first emperor is the future light of this era, I don't have much contact with him, I am not familiar with him, he is a charming person. But now, for this land, for Da Zhou, you are the light of the future and the light of reason. You don't make those terrible decisions, you don't, you have to keep your heart to save the world, and I'll do it for you. ”

"The second general has already dragged us all into the water, Lei Song should have thought about it, he has the consciousness of dying, he cares about his family, we will find a way to take care of him."

"I hope that the eldest brother can reprimand the second general well, and the elder brother who did not kill the younger brother, but if the younger brother is bent on opposing the elder brother, it will be difficult to escape sooner or later."

"Also, after this incident, I hope that the eldest brother will not hesitate, what you should do is one thing, accept the world of the Great Zhou. The second general took this step, and we can't turn back. ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Kuangyin stopped Xu Yongzhi.

"I will assist the young Majesty well and make him a hero." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"There are too many variables, so many people, won't they be worried, won't they be afraid?" Xu Yongzhi said.

Xu Yongzhi was not wrong.

In fact, the simplest point is that if the emperor's longevity is at the end of his life, then all his guarantees are meaningless.

Chai Rong wanted to give Sister Qiao's name, which disappeared with his death;

Xu Yongzhi's great achievement in defeating the monster and defending the palace gate disappeared with Chai Rong's death;

The generals followed Chai Rong's exploits in the war, and the identities of various festival envoys, princes, and princes disappeared with Chai Rong's death.

It is better to expect a seven-year-old child to be friendly to everyone after more than ten years, and it is better to choose one of the strong men who have become adults to ensure everyone's status and wealth, and at the same time to face the enemies of the north and the south.

This is also why Li Yu will say to Xiaogui that the promise of the person who is about to die is meaningless.

This is why in many countries and dynasties, the health of the emperor or leader is the most important secret.

Xu Yongzhi gave a military salute to Zhao Kuangyin and went out.

A horse soldier whispered, "I'll show the way for the commander." ”

Xu Yongzhi looked at it and said to a tall man, "Give me your sword." ”

I weighed the size and weight, and I thought it was appropriate.

"Let's go!"

The forbidden army took Xu Yongzhi to a tavern.

"Go farther and listen to me." Xu Yongzhi ordered the soldier.

He wanted to ask for a confession, which was also Zhao Kuangyin's request.

Vain confessions.

After a while, Lei Song came out of the tavern drunk.

"Did they send you?" Lei Song saw Xu Yongzhi.

"It turned out to be you, I am going to die at the hands of Xu Jin, the gun king of the forbidden army and the monster killer, what an honor." Lei Song's tone was full of ridicule.

"Commander, let me ask you, is it your hand?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"It's me alone, I killed all the palace maids and eunuchs, and then I killed Chai Rong, I'm a hateful thief, you kill me." Lei Song said.

"Commander, let me ask again, is it really your idea? Or did someone tell you to do it? Xu Yongzhi asked.

"What do you want to do?" Lei Song looked at Xu Yongzhi.

"I want to know the truth." Xu Yongzhi said.

"There is no truth." Lei Song said.

"I want to know for myself." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Yongzhi, don't be so stupid, we can't fight them, we all have to play our part. I made my choice, I have innocent blood on my hands, I am innocent of death, you don't want to do it. ”

"You have to make your own choice, if you want to break everything for that little sense of justice now, it will be chaos in the world." Lei Song said.

Xu Yongzhi didn't understand this truth.

After Lei Song was beaten away by the monster, he lay on the ground and had already given up the battle, and he called Lei Song up and asked him to inform His Majesty to move, Lei Song may be outside the palace gate, and in a short time, he made this decision with Zhao Er.

When he arrived outside the palace gate, Lei Song had no sword or gun at all.

If everything is broken, from Brother Zhao to himself, they are all anti-thieves and will be executed.

Lord Wang, Lord Fan, do you not understand these things in your heart? Seeing through it or not, they all made their own choices.

"Come on," Lei Song tore open his shirt, "I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." ”

"Why, for the sake of children? What did he promise you? Xu Yongzhi continued to ask.

"For a lot of things, I can't escape." Lei Song said.

Lei Song slowly unsheathed his sword, "Come on." ”

The two swords silently approached each other in the winter night.

"I hope that person can give our children the world they want." Lei Song said.

The sword flashed, and blood spurted out.

The palace struggle is not trivial at all such as a pot of charcoal, a tea set, or a cat scaring the little prince; There is no "that would have been excellent"; There is no gun and stick between the delicacies and delicacies on the dinner table.

It is conspiracy, conspiracy, open robbery, robbery, nonsense with open eyes, and it will wait for you one day.

It is a sword and gun between comrades-in-arms, a knife in the back between brothers, and palace fighting is not a woman competing for the favor of a man, but between various factions, fighting for that kind of power.

The supreme power decides to kill and take it.

Xu Yongzhi shook off the blood on the sword, just like Zhao Er or Lei Song shook off Chai Rong's blood, he put the sword back into the scabbard, and whistled the soldier who led the way over.

"Cut off this man's head and bring it back to the general, and you will help me return this sword." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Won't the commander return to the camp?"

"Have you ever beaten a monster?"

"Nope."

"I've been working all day, I'm going back to sleep now!"

Xu Yong got on the horse and gave the white horse a whip, and the horse rushed up like the wind.

Xu Yongzhi finally understood why Li Lianqiao could be so ruthless and decisive.

This is the style of people who have been through political struggles.

How could a good person get involved in all this? If you want to survive, can you continue to be a good person?

"I'll have to ask somebody."

He was reluctant to see Brother Zhao, but Brother Zhao did not disappoint him, and Big Brother had already done what was possible.

He just felt that whether it was Zhao Kuangyin, or himself, or Chai Rong, Sister Qiao, Zhao Er, and Lei Song, they were actually struggling helplessly in the whirlpool of power.

Xu Yongzhi wanted to see Xiaogui, especially wanted.

He wanted to have another drink with Li Sigui, thinking that he could come quickly.

Chirp Ash found Xu Yongzhi's horse and landed on his shoulder.

"Fate, fate."

Chirp Ash has learned a lot of words, and this is probably the one with the richest connotations.

I thought of what Chen Tuan Ancestor said.

"You are the one who dares to change your life."

"This kind of person, we call it a hero."

Heroes or not, I don't care.

Xu Yongzhi thought, what I have to protect is this merchant city.

Look at the lights of Tokyo City.

Xu Yongzhi secretly clenched his fists.

At this time, in the dark, a crossbow was already aimed at Xu Gongzi.

An arrow pierced through the air and screamed, flying towards the man who had lost all his will to fight.
