Chapter 493: The Emperor is Dead
() watched Gu Ziyuan leave, until the figure slowly disappeared, looking at the dark secret passage that did not see the depths, Bai Rong was still standing in place, his hands unconsciously curled up and lightly placed on his chest, feeling the heartbeat that was not light or heavy.
Ziyuan, you must come back alive and well.
Before dawn, in addition to being immersed in the night, it was as if there was a dark cloud shrouded in it, and the dark tide was surging.
In the past, the busy streets were empty, deserted and depressed, no family dared to poke their heads out, and even the most lively and prosperous Goolan tile shops were locked, and the air in the city seemed to be filled with a terrible bloody rain.
Gu Zongtang's rebellion was menacing, and in the early hours of the morning, he suddenly launched a fierce attack on the imperial city, and the iron hoof spirit cavalry led by him burned down the city gate, stepping out of a scarlet blood road, and even the people around the imperial city were not spared.
The emperor who sat on the throne of the court with a lot of worries never could sleep, he almost sat in this position unwillingly, he knew that he was old, but he had been high for many years, and he was unwilling to give up the name of the king of a country.
Even if it was to give it to his own son, he didn't want to.
It was not until the moment when the city gate was breached and opened, as the siege of the military cavalry entered, that a loud and long horn echoed like a urge, and the emperor suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the lifeless sky outside, that he felt fear for the first time.
Trembling with rage and unconsciousness, he fled back to his bedchamber.
Behind Gu Zongtang, who was red-eyed, was filled with gunsmoke, he was almost covered in blood, and he held the cold light blade tightly in his hand, as if he was a demon who came out of purgatory.
The imperial city was suddenly in chaos, the concubines fled in a hurry with gold, silver and jewelry, the ministers hid in the study and closed their doors, and although the palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to escape, they were also in chaos.
In order to protect their emperor, the soldiers in the city desperately rushed to the forefront to fight with Gu Zongtang's soldiers, but the emperor's forces were panicked, and they were finally defeated and broken by the crazy attacking Gu Zongtang, and the entire imperial city was reduced to a sea of blood.
Gu Zongtang looked at the gate of the emperor's bedroom in front of him, and his gaze slowly fell on Gu Yutang on the steps.
He sneered contemptuously: "Ninth brother, just because you want to stop me?" Why, did my father say that you should come and kill me, yes
And then give you the throne? It's really wishful thinking, but if you want to find death, I can also be you. ”
Gu Yutang held the sword, and for Gu Zongtang's threat, his eyes seemed to flicker with fear.
Seeing Gu Yutang's retreat, Gu Zongtang then said: "Instead of daydreaming, it's better for you to defect to me, ninth brother, I can not only spare your life, but after I get the throne, I can also make you a prince and continue to live a rich and noble life, how about it?" ”
After that, a thought flashed in Gu Zongtang's heart, anyway, Gu Yutang is just a useless waste who is greedy for life and afraid of death, when the time comes, if he kicks it away, how can he resist?
"Four, what the fourth brother said is true?" Gu Yutang pretended to hesitate.
"Absolutely." Gu Zongtang assured.
Attacking all the way, his strength was also depleted, and he didn't want to waste time on Gu Yutang's body.
"There's no time for you to think about it, within three sounds, if you agree, you get out of the way, if you don't agree, just wait for death." Gu Zongtang ran out of patience and began to force Gu Yutang to make a decision.
Gu Yutang panicked, he really didn't dare to resist, and he couldn't bear to order the other soldiers to retreat as well.
Gu Zongtang walked into the dormitory, and on the ground was a mess that the emperor overthrew angrily, he stepped on those fragments and walked to the emperor step by step: "Father, the situation is so good outside, why don't you go out to have a look?" In the future, there will be no such opportunity. ”
The emperor woke up suddenly in a daz, his pale face, which had been tortured by panic, was bloodless and much older, and he trembled and raised his finger to point at Gu Zongtang: "Come on, come on, don't you hurry up and drive this traitor out of me!" ”
Gu Zongtang looked at his father coldly: "Except for you, those people are probably dead." ”
"You are my heir, how dare you, dare to rebel? Aren't you afraid of God's damnation? The emperor was angry, but he was powerless to resist, and he fell to the ground in fear.
Gu Zongtang's eyes were full of blood, and he said sharply: "I'm not even afraid of rebellion, what kind of damnation are I afraid of?" Father, you underestimate me too much, the matter is a foregone conclusion, you just don't want to give up this throne, you have to give it up. ”
With that, he raised the sword in his hand, and a cold light flashed.
"Do you want me to die?" The Emperor's eyes widened, and his tone was filled with lingering rage.
"You don't die, this throne
When will it be my turn? The flame in Gu Zongtang's heart was instantly ignited: "You haven't looked down on me since you were a child, and now you look down on me, don't you, then I'll let you see clearly, I, Gu Zongtang, are more qualified to be emperors than anyone else!" ”
He shouted loudly, and he was about to kill the emperor.
A Jingwei suddenly broke in outside the door, and hurriedly reported: "Oh no, my lord, a team of people and horses suddenly came in outside, it seems, it seems to be Gu Ziyuan and them!" ”
"What did you say?" Gu Zongtang was shocked when he heard this.
How could he come, how dare he come to fight? Could it be that Gu Ziyuan has been secretly raising soldiers?
"It's him, he's back, and I know he's not going to die so easily." Hearing Gu Ziyuan's name, the emperor suddenly raised his head, the thoughts in his eyes returned to the distant beginning, he was going to die, he said weakly, "Let it go, Gu Ziyuan will not let us go, my position should have belonged to him." ”
"Shut up." Gu Zongtang shouted angrily.
He turned and rushed out with his soldiers, only to find that his soldiers had encountered the forces of another team, and the opponent's odds were clearly better, and he almost broke up his team's formation.
Gu Zongtang saw a familiar figure, and his eyes widened angrily: "Gu Ziyuan, I'm going to kill you!" ”
Gu Ziyuan's face did not change, and he rode on the horse condescendingly: "Gu Zongtang, if you are captured, I can still spare your life, but you rebelled against the palace and killed the people indiscriminately, and your crime is unforgivable." ”
"You are a remnant of the previous dynasty, what qualifications do you have to talk nonsense, what I want, there is nothing I can't get, when I sit on the throne, everyone in the world will worship me, I am the king of the world."
Gu Ziyuan narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice about his crime.
"You are ruthless, you have forced your own brothers and even your father to a dead end, and you regard human life as a mustard, you are not worthy of being an emperor at all, first the prince was used by you and killed by you, and the lives of all the people in Panjia County, even if your dog dies a hundred times, you can't afford to pay it back!"
After that, he took a bow and shot arrows, and Gu Zongtang hurriedly wanted to hide when he saw this, but he was tightly clamped by a pair of hands behind him and couldn't move.
"Brother Huang, on the Huangquan Road, it's okay." Gu Yutang didn't know when he appeared behind Gu Zongtang, his eyes were uninhibited, where was the usual cowardly Nine Emperor Prince.
Gu Zongtang looked at him in disbelief and said dumbly: "It's you, you actually?" ”
