Chapter 521: You Chose Him After All
No wonder, no wonder He Quan would suddenly mix in, and no wonder Cao Xiong would suddenly make a change.
But how did they get into the capital?
Shen Fengnian knew very well that Cao Xiong had really betrayed Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty before, and even if he took the handle of the Cao family, he was very sure that Cao Xiong had chosen to rebel with them.
He was sure that Cao Xiong would never suddenly switch to the Xie family and deal with them, otherwise he would never hand over the military power in Beijing to Cao Xiong.
In other words, before they entered the capital in Qiwen Mansion, Cao Xiong would never let them in alive, but at that time, the entire capital was in their hands, how did they enter the city in Qiwen Mansion?
Shen Fengnian looked closely at the few people in Qi Wenfu, and suddenly remembered that not long ago, Xiao Mian helped Ling enter Beijing and almost fought Cao Xiong at the city gate, and said in a deep voice, "You were lying in that coffin and were sent into the capital by Xiao Mian?!" ”
Qi Wenfu raised his lips: "Shen Xiang is worthy of being Shen Xiang, he can be so keen at any time." ”
"What about Cao Xiong, he has already betrayed Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, how can you let him turn against us." Shen Fengnian asked.
Qi Wenfu sneered slightly: "Lord Cao, why don't you talk to Shen Xiang." ”
Cao Xiong smiled bitterly, "Xiangye, the one who knows the times is Junjie, I always have to think about the Cao family behind me, and you calculated everything, but why did you forget to guard your own backyard, your son-in-law took your token and let the Xie family out of the prison, and let Xie Yuan take over the city guard." ”
"My head was almost cut off in my sleep, what do you think I can do but abandon the darkness and turn to the light?"
After Shen Fengnian listened to Cao Xiong's words, he followed his gaze and looked out of the door, and saw Shen Tangxi standing there with a familiar mask on his face, the expression on his face could no longer be steady, full of astonishment, suspicion, and disbelief.
Shen Tangxi pursed his lips slightly, walked up to the front and back, and said in a low voice: "Father." ”
"Rebel!!"
Shen Fengnian still has the calmness and calmness of the past, no matter how great the danger he has encountered over the years, even if the Xie family has led troops to surround this palace, even if he knows that he has fallen into a trap and may even die here during today's trip, he has never lost his temper like this.
But when he knew that his years of planning were actually destroyed in the hands of his own son, and even he brought others to calculate his life, he could no longer hold his composure.
"You rebel! I'm your biological father, how dare you help outsiders to calculate me?! ”
Shen Tangxi quietly looked at the furious Shen Fengnian, and said slowly: "Biological father? I always thought that Yu Wenzheng was your own son in the eyes. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Fengnian was furious.
"Am I talking nonsense? Isn't it? ”
Shen Tangxi looked at him and said, "You only have your great cause in your eyes, only the young master you assist, you can run around for Yuwen Zheng, but you have never looked at me squarely." ”
"You let him share an identity with me, let him occupy everything that should have been mine, you made me, who should have been your son, live like a mouse in the gutter, hiding under the mask for so many years and becoming his Yuwen Zheng's shadow, you made Shen Tangxi a joke!"
Shen Fengnian didn't expect Shen Tangxi to think so, he defended, "Everything I did was not for you, you and Zheng'er grew up together, you are like brothers, as long as he can ascend the throne, what do you want is not ......"
"I don't want anything!"
Shen Tangxi's eyes were red, and he hissed, "I don't want to kill, I don't want to conspire and calculate, I don't want to watch the person I want to protect die with guilt, and I don't want to achieve great things for him Yu Wenzheng." ”
"I don't want to share an identity with him, eat what he likes to eat, use the incense he likes to use, learn everything he likes to learn, and even force myself to learn ventriloquism to be exactly like him."
"I'm not a shadow, father, after all these years, do you know what I like?"
Shen Fengnian's expression was slightly stunned: "Ah Tang..."
Shen Tangxi stretched out his hand and took off the mask on his face, revealing half of his face that had already been scabbed but scarred, and looked at Shen Fengnian quietly: "Father, when the fire in the palace was in place, I was awake. ”
I know you have a chance to save me, but when you arrived at the palace gate, you hesitated.
I also know that the wound on my face could have been cured, but you didn't allow it.
Shen Fengnian's expression changed greatly, and before he could say anything, he saw Shen Tangxi suddenly raise his sword and rush towards them, and the sword in his hand fell directly towards Yuwen Zheng, that crazy appearance completely ignored everything else, and just wanted to put Yuwen Zheng to death.
Shen Fengnian didn't have time to react, and when he shook his sleeves, a soft sword fell out, and he stabbed directly at Shen Tangxi, trying to force him to retreat, but who knew that after the two fought, Shen Tangxi not only did not retreat, but the offensive became more and more fierce, and there was a great tendency to die with them.
And over there, Yu Wenzheng grabbed Emperor Ming Xuan and retreated.
"Ah Tang, don't force me!" Shen Fengnian shouted loudly.
Shen Tangxi's eyes were cold, and he said hatefully: "It's you who have been forcing me!" ”
When he raised his sword, Yu Wen Zheng was overwhelmed by the sharp sword light, and when he stumbled, he took the opportunity to slash towards Yu Wen Zheng's vital point.
Seeing this, Shen Fengnian was in a hurry, and hurriedly drew his sword, who knew that at this moment, the sword in Shen Tangxi's hand was stopped in front of Yuwen Zheng's neck, but the middle of his chest was pierced by a long sword.
Shen Tangxi slowly looked down at the long sword that came out of his chest, turned his head and said, "You still chose him after all......" He smiled miserably, "Dad, I gave you back my life, and you and I will never owe each other ...... again"
"Ah Tang!"
Shen Tangxi fell to the ground with a "bang", and the long sword in his hand made a dull sound when it landed.
"Cousin!"
Xie Qingheng's face changed greatly, and Old Madam Xie raised her bow and shot at Shen Fengnian with an arrow to force people back, and several people stepped forward quickly and squatted beside Shen Tangxi.
"Cousin!"
Xie Qingheng leaned on Shen Tangxi's arms, grabbed his hand and said urgently, "You'll be fine, bear with me, I'll go to the Imperial Doctor immediately......"
"No need."
Shen Tangxi's chest was wet with blood, and he said in a low voice, "Qingheng, I'm sorry ......"
He looked at Mrs. Xie who was squatting beside him, took off the purse hanging from his waist with trembling hands, opened it and said to Mrs. Xie from afar, "Old, old lady...... Sugar ......"
Old Madam Xie stretched out her hand, but before she could take it, the hand on the other side suddenly fell to the ground, and the mouth of the open sachet opened, and a piece of marzipan rolled out of it.
Old Madam Xie looked at Shen Tangxi, whose eyes were closed and silent, and suddenly remembered that the last time he passed the house, he said that the marzipan of the Zhao family in Beijing was extremely delicious, and he would secretly bring it to her the next time he saw her.
