Sima Hongyan was still fighting with the female soldiers at this time, and the ministers were waiting in the audience, looking at the palace hall in the thick smoke, and many people began to beat their chests and cry.

Yan Qi was caught in the middle of the guards and shouted, pointing at Sima Hongyan for a while and saying that she was ruthless and unjust, and then scolding Sima Hongyan for setting fire to the palace.

Sima Hongyan knew that he was a form of venting that showed his nervousness, and he didn't have time to deal with him.

At this time, there was a sudden loud noise, and the soldiers who had fled rushed back in a swarm, Sima Hongyan secretly complained bitterly when he saw it, and said in his heart that he might not be able to get out of this palace today.

Looking at it again, I felt that it was not quite right, those soldiers ran in a panic, panting like cattle, not at all like they knew the truth and came back, but as if they were chased and fled back.

Just when Sima Hongyan and the others were curious, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and the silver-armored cavalry of Yanling rushed into the imperial city fiercely, and those soldiers fled in all directions, and many of them were knocked down by the war horses and could no longer stand up.

The cavalry came so quickly, and showed no mercy to the soldiers, and the knives were chopping and cutting through the crowd like vegetables, and the whole palace was full of wailing and screaming, and the ears of the people were tingling to hear it.

Immediately behind the cavalry, Shi Jinyan and Zhong Liying appeared with two hundred female soldiers. As soon as they entered the imperial city, they were immediately stunned by the corpses all over the ground. Especially seeing that there are many female soldiers among them, the two are even more sad and indignant. Seeing from a distance that Sima Hongyan and the others were still fighting, the two immediately rushed to support with their troops.

By now, Yan Qi was dumbfounded, and he couldn't imagine that his ambition to be the emperor was also ruined in the hands of Sima Hongyan. originally felt that he had a chance to win, but he was disrupted by Sima Hongyan with hundreds of female soldiers, and even brought him the final defeat.

He was unwilling, very unwilling, and his original affection for Sima Hongyan turned into resentment in a blink of an eye.

For the sake of this throne, Yan Qi did not hesitate to bear the notoriety of killing the king, kidnapping ministers, coercing courtiers' families, and killing compatriots and brothers. He almost did the most vicious thing in the world, but he didn't expect that in the end, it was still a failure.

He knew what awaited him, he still remembered the revenge oath that Sima Hongyan had told him, he felt fear, fear, he was afraid of experiencing the punishments that Sima Hongyan had said.

The huge mental pressure made him start to become irritable again, and shouted at the guards around him like a sick state: "I don't want to die, I, can't die, take me to the main hall, take me to the main hall!" ”

A guard said to him: "Great prince, the main hall has been surrounded by fire, and there is no way back." ”

Yan Qi pushed the guards in front of him like crazy, and he didn't know who he was talking to, and shouted nonsense: "I want to go back, I want to sit on the throne, the emperor is mine, as long as I sit on the throne, I am the emperor, they can't kill me, they can't kill me!" ”

The guards couldn't stop Yan Qi's madness, and he pushed through the gap and rushed out, facing Yan Hong head-on. The guards were afraid that Yan Hong would hurt the eldest prince, so they hurriedly raised their guns and stabbed wildly. Yan Hong blocked the spear that stabbed him, but he didn't stop Yan Qi, and dodged out of the way.

At this time, Shi Jinyan and Zhong Liying rode behind Sima Hongyan with female soldiers, Sima Hongyan didn't care to say much, and said urgently to a female soldier: "Give me a horse to use!" ”

The female soldier immediately jumped off the horse, Sima Hongyan turned over and jumped up, and the horse rushed forward.

Zhong Liying pulled Ban Lingruo onto his horse, and Nan Xunyan jumped on Shi Jinyan's horse, and they all rushed towards the guards who were blocking the front with Sima Hongyan.

Hundreds of war horses charged together, and no matter how strong the guards' defense was, they were suddenly scattered, revealing a gap in the middle.

Sima Hongyan's target was not on these guards, her target was Yan Qi, and when she passed by Yan Hong, Sima Hongyan reached out to pull him and dragged him onto the horse.

Who knew that Sima Hongyan was pulling an empty one, and Yan Hong's left arm was empty.

Sima Hongyan was shocked, and he didn't dare to believe what he saw for a while. Yan Hong was expressionless, jumped on Sima Hongyan's horse, sat down behind her, and said in a deep voice: "He ran into the main hall!" ”

It turned out that the golden hall was full of flames at this time, and even the two heavy doors were burning at this moment, and the entrance of the hall was now like a big mouth with a tongue of fire, waiting to devour everything that entered it.

Sima Hongyan ran towards the main hall without hesitation, but fortunately, the door was wide enough, and the horse was not frightened by the flames and stopped.

Entering the main hall, Sima Hongyan saw Yan Qi sitting on the dragon chair at a glance, he looked satisfied, and put on an imperial style, proudly looking at Sima Hongyan and the others who rushed in.

In Sima Hongyan's eyes, Yan Qi looked like a clown, like a joke, like a naïve child who was playing with the family.

There are no furnishings in the main hall, it is extremely empty, and the place where the fire is lit is only the window sash around the main hall, no wonder this fire comes so slowly, there is really nothing to burn here.

At this time, a few people ran out from behind several huge temple pillars, and it was the five-sleeved Jiang Susu and the ten female soldiers who came to set the fire. They all ran to Sima Hongyan's side in tears, Jiang Susu pointed at Yan Qi and choked up: "Great Commander, it's him!" It was he who let those soldiers arrest Chun'er, and also ordered Chun'er to be killed, and I watched them go out with guns carrying Chun'er's corpse. As he spoke, he cried bitterly, unable to hide his sadness.

Sima Hongyan restrained the sadness in her heart and asked, "What's going on?" Why did Chun'er fall into his hands? ”

Jiang Susu wiped her tears and said, "On the order of the Great Commander, Liusleeve and I came in with my sisters to light the fire, but there was nothing to ignite in this hall, so we went separately to find something that could cause fire." Later I found some jars from the apse, and they contained wine. I was about to come out and shout for Six Sleeves, but I found that the big prince came in with a lot of people. ”

As soon as he heard that there was a wine jar behind the palace, Sima Hongyan remembered that this was the imperial wine in the palace prepared some time ago in order to deal with the rebels outside Yan Hao's palace, but he didn't expect that it was still stored in the back of the palace.

Jiang Susu continued: "When they came in, there were still a few princes who were tied, and I couldn't see who they were from a distance. After coming in, a man seemed to say something to the eldest prince, and then the eldest prince and the bound people quarreled a few words, and then the eldest prince got angry and left, and the person who spoke to the eldest prince at first suddenly ordered the soldiers to kill the bound people. Rokusleeve may have been frightened and cried out, only to be discovered and caught by the soldiers. A few of us were about to discuss to save Six Sleeves, but the man glanced at Six Sleeves and didn't ask, so he let those soldiers poke Six Sleeves from behind him to death, and they also carried the corpse out of the main hall.

We didn't expect these people to be so ruthless, so we had to go back and fill the wine and light the fire first, and then hide in the palace and wait for the opportunity to go out and kill them to avenge the six sleeves, but before we could find a chance, the big prince suddenly came back and sat on the dragon chair, and then the great commander followed you and came in! ”

Sima Hongyan heard that someone had brought in those tied princes to kill them, and asked urgently: "Who is the guy who ordered the killing of those tied princes, and have you seen his appearance?" ”

"It's Yan Ze!" Yan Hong, who was on the side, suddenly spoke.

"It's him! How could it be him? This answer was really unexpected by Sima Hongyan.

Yan Hong sneered and said: "What's impossible, Yan Qi's rebellion was simply planned by him, otherwise with Yan Qi's ability, no matter how much he can hide his true intentions, he will also reveal flaws." ”

Sima Hongyan looked at the wound on Yan Hong's left arm that was tied with rags, and asked with some sadness: "Then how did your arm hurt?" ”

Yan Hong said: "Yan Qi stupidly killed the four emperor brothers in front of everyone, you almost took this opportunity to talk about the rebel soldiers, but Yan Ze saved the situation." After that, Yan Ze asked Yan Qi to bring us into this hall, Yan Qi asked us for the last time if we would like to help him become emperor, but we were scolded by the five emperor brothers, and Yan Qi left angrily. Then Yan Ze ordered to kill the Fifth Emperor Brother and the Sixth Emperor Brother, and when I wanted to kill me, I deliberately gave in, and my left arm was cut off by the guards, but my purpose was to give up this left hand in exchange for the freedom of the right hand. ”

Unexpectedly, Yan Hong used this method to break free from the shackles, and the price he paid was not ordinarily large. Seeing that Yan Hong's arm was half broken, Sima Hongyan was uncomfortable and didn't know what to say to comfort him.

Yan Hong didn't notice Sima Hongyan's sadness, and continued: "Originally, I was going to take the opportunity to get rid of these guys, but who knew that a woman's screams attracted them, so I took the opportunity to fall down and pretend to be dead. There are quite a few of them, and I can't guarantee a successful one-hit, so I'll have to wait for my chance. But he didn't expect Yan Ze to show no mercy to a woman and kill her. Presumably he wanted to use your companion's corpse to intimidate you female soldiers, so he picked out the woman's corpse, and I took the opportunity to hide from it. Later, when I got up and went out, I guess the other female soldiers were filling the back with wine, so they didn't see me. After that, you know everything! ”

Sima Hongyan gritted his teeth and glared at Yan Qi, and scolded: "I didn't expect Yan Ze to be in cahoots with him, kill his brothers, and kill my female soldiers." There is simply no capriciousness! ”

Yan Hong said: "Not only those of us who oppose them, but even the people of the Seventh Emperor Brother and the Eighth Emperor Brother who succumb to them, they have not let go. Right here, just after they killed your female soldier, I saw with my own eyes that Yan Ze slit their throats from behind their backs, and the corpses were thrown behind the pillars on that side! ”

Sima Hongyan glanced in the direction Yan Hong pointed out, and said with a solemn expression: "In this way, almost all the princes of the emperor died overnight, and now only you are left, as well as Yan Ze and him!" What about Yan Ze? There he is? ”

Yan Hong shook his head and said, "After he took away the corpse of the female soldier, I haven't seen him again." ”

Sima Hongyan said fiercely: "He can't run!" ”

Suddenly, Sima Hongyan thought of something, and said to Shi Jinyan behind him: "How are the ministers' families?" ”

Shi Jinyan stepped forward and said: "When I heard that Yan Qi was dead, these people immediately abandoned their weapons and surrendered, insisting that they were forced. However, according to the family members, the soldiers did not embarrass them, but only locked them in their rooms and did not let them out, and did not neglect them. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Okay, you and Lingruo send the adults back to the house, they have been frightened enough today." By the way, let the Yanling soldiers extinguish the fire and guard the imperial city. The rebels are in custody for the time being, waiting for everything to settle before dealing with them. ”

Then Sima Hongyan turned his head and muttered, "The rest is between me and him!" ”
