The miserable screams resounded throughout the capital of Yanling, making the rebels who had not seen this scene also change color.

The changes outside the hall made Yan Hao in the main hall hear it very clearly, and he looked at Emperor Yanzhen hatefully and said, "It turns out that you have already designed a trap to deliberately lure this king into the palace!" As he spoke, he remembered Sima Hongyan, turned his head and scolded: "You have been coaxing this king all along!" Who knew that when he turned his head, Sima Hongyan was not in the position behind him just now, and at the same time, he also found that Lan Shuang, who had been by his side, was also missing.

A voice came from the stage and said, "Lord Wang! Are you looking for me? ”

Yan Hao looked up, and at some point, Sima Hongyan had slipped onto the high platform and stood beside several princes.

With more than a hundred soldiers left in the main hall, Yan Hao said viciously: "So what? This king will kill you now, and this king will win! ”

Sima Hongyan asked, "Lord Wang! Why can you sit on this dragon chair if you kill us? ”

Yan Hao snorted heavily and said, "Just rely on the edict of abdication on the king's body, and the official talisman seal in the king's hand." Although there is no jade seal yet, didn't Miss Sima remind this king, it's a big deal to make another one. ”

The more than 100 soldiers were frightened by the screams outside the door at this time, and when they saw that the prince had already had murderous intent, they immediately drew their swords and courageously gathered around the high platform.

Sima Hongyan ignored the approaching rebels and said to Yan Hao, "Lord Wang! You still haven't understood? It's all for you. From the moment you enter this great hall, you are doomed. I advise you to tie up your hands now and capture it too late, and maybe you can still save your life. ”

Seeing that Sima Hongyan was calm and relaxed, and there was no fear, the soldiers who walked up were a little hesitant, and they turned their heads to look at their princes in shock.

Yan Hao was most afraid that the army's heart would be shaken, he took out the blood book of abdication from his arms, and shouted to all the soldiers: "The edict of abdication is here, as long as you kill these people, I will be the new emperor of Yanling, you are the founding heroes, and you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future, don't be scared by this woman, go on!" Kill them, kill them! ”

Hearing this, these rebels regained their murderous aura and approached Emperor Yanzhen and others on the stage.

Sima Hongyan suddenly shouted: "You have no evidence, how could the emperor write an edict of abdication to you, a chaotic minister and thief?" That's a fake at all, and you faked it to coax these innocent soldiers into dying in vain. If you don't believe it, then ask the prince to read out the contents of the edict for everyone to hear, okay? ”

The soldier who came up was frightened again, and his heart began to waver, and he stopped. Looking at Sima Hongyan, who was standing not far in front of him, was awe-inspiring and upright, and several people were frightened back a few steps by her momentum.

Yan Hao was completely enraged by Sima Hongyan, he shouted and said: "This is obviously the blood edict of abdication that you personally handed over to this king, this king has seen it with his own eyes, it is Yan Zhen's handwriting, and there is a jade seal on it, how can it be fake?" As he spoke, Yan Hao ripped off the rope of the edict and unfolded it to see.

When the content of the edict was presented in front of Yan Hao, Yan Hao seemed to be frozen, his eyes were round, and his mouth was so wide that he couldn't close it at all. He couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, and he kept asking himself: Why is this happening? What the hell is going on?

Sima Hongyan fanned the flames on the side and said: "Lord Wang, read it out, we are all waiting, and your soldiers are also waiting!" How? Do you know a word? ”

Yan Hao slammed the holy decree to the ground like crazy, pointed at Sima Hongyan and said, "You treacherous woman, you dare to play tricks on this king!" ”

The decree he threw on the ground was now facing upwards, and everyone could see its contents. Where there is any concession edict, there are only three curved lines, two shorter ones on top and the opening facing down, and a longer curved line on the bottom and the opening facing up. Everyone recognized it and thought it was a smiling face. Seeing this funny pattern, a younger prince also laughed out loud.

The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, and they didn't know what to do.

Yan Hao shouted hysterically to the stunned soldiers: "Do you think they will let you go? You are treason and punish the nine tribes, and if you don't kill them, you will die. What are you doing in a daze, come on! Kill them. ”

Emperor Yanzhen said coldly: "You still don't know how to repent when you die, I have been extremely disappointed in you!" As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of bowstrings all around, and countless long arrows shot out from all sides of the main hall, instantly shooting through several soldiers close to the high platform, and rolled down the steps without even making a snort.

The sudden change shocked Yan Hao again, he never thought that there were archers in ambush in this empty hall.

These bows and arrows were shot quickly and accurately, and in a short time, more than a hundred soldiers were killed, and nearly half of them were killed, and the rest of the soldiers panicked and fled in all directions. But the empty hall was only a few big pillars, still standing far away on both sides of the hall, and before they could run over, they were pierced by several long arrows.

Some of the soldiers had some experience, so they immediately gathered their companions to approach Yan Hao, gathered together and formed a circle, not only protecting Yan Hao in the middle, but also forming a defensive position, constantly waving their long knives to drive away the flying feather arrows. But the arrows were too fast, and they couldn't figure out where they came from, and although they were kept in a circle, people kept falling to the ground. In the blink of an eye, there were less than twenty people left who could still stand.

These feather arrows seemed to be deliberately avoiding Yan Hao, only aiming at those soldiers, and none of the arrows flying around the room hurt him.

When there were only two or three rebels left, Emperor Yanzhen waved his hand, and the locust-like arrows suddenly stopped, followed by dozens of figures emerging from the top of the main hall.

The situation was reversed in an instant, and Yan Hao couldn't figure out how the situation that was originally under his control suddenly became like this!

However, he calmed down a lot, and still stood there proudly with the head of a prince, and asked coldly: "The forbidden army has been withdrawn, why do you still have soldiers in ambush?" As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have figured it out immediately, and he explained: "It turns out that they have all been removed, I am so stupid, why didn't I think of such a simple thing?" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Lord Wang! You are carried away by the desire for power, and the simplest things are ignored by yourself. ”

Yan Hao nodded and said, "Yes!" This king guessed all kinds of tricks that Yan Zhen could use, but he ignored what his eyes saw, Yan Zhen, you are really smarter than this king. After thinking for a while, he changed his words and said: "It should be said that Miss Sima, you are much more treacherous than this king!" You deliberately stayed in front of this king, using those holy decrees and sigils to divert the king's attention, so that you could play tricks under the king's nose, and you were clever! Brilliant indeed! I'm guessing those sigils are all fake, right? You gave me that one that you really prepared in advance, right? ”

Sima Hongyan smiled and said calmly: "Thank you for your praise!" But the prince guessed wrong, those sigils are all real, none of them are fake, now these things should have been put away by the forbidden army, how can I say that the ministers will use it in the future, but it can't be damaged, otherwise I can't afford it! ”

Yan Hao originally thought that Sima Hongyan was using fake things to deceive himself from beginning to end, but he didn't expect that those runes would be real, and the edict that he thought was real turned out to be fake.

Puzzled, Yan Hao couldn't help but point to the holy decree with a smiling face on the ground and asked, "Then how did this become fake?" When you gave it to this king, this king obviously saw the above content is an edict to give way, and the big seal is indeed a jade seal, when did you really steal it? ”

Sima Hongyan said: "I have never stolen anything from the prince, this is the holy decree that the prince has seen." It's just that the words on it used some palace secret methods, and when the time came, they disappeared by themselves. However, it was too unreasonable not to leave anything for the prince, so I took it upon myself to leave a happy mark on the prince. Don't blame the king! ”

"Good! You're so nice! Yan Hao didn't know what to say to Sima Hongyan, and asked Emperor Yanzhen instead: "Now I have to ask you in turn, what are you going to do with this king?" ”

Emperor Yanzhen said with some sadness: "I give you a chance, you let the rebels put down their weapons and confess, they are all the people of Yanling, I don't want any more casualties, if today's matter is settled, I will give you a whole corpse and enter the imperial mausoleum for a thick burial." ”

Yan Hao sneered: "You are generous, but this king wants to remind you that the civil and military officials and the harem ladies are now in the hands of this king, if this king is dead, then they will give this king a funeral, and this king is not lonely, hahahaha." ”

"You!" Emperor Yanzhen was startled and said angrily: "Didn't you promise to let them out of Beijing, and you won't embarrass them?" ”

Yan Hao smiled and said: "This king is not a three-year-old child, how can he not leave a way back for himself, although Sima Hongyan is cunning, but she has done it too comprehensively, so that this king can't believe that this is true." And this king and you are brothers, your personality this king knows too well, how can you admit defeat? Therefore, this king can only calculate the plan. ”

Emperor Yanzhen said, "What do you want?" ”

Yan Hao said: "It seems that today's matter, this king wants to sit on the throne, I'm afraid it's impossible, this king will make a deal with you." If you let this king go, this king will spare the lives of these hundreds of people, what do you think? ”

Emperor Yanzhen said, "Why should I make any deal with you? You're trapped here, I can take you down, and if you spare the innocent, I'll spare you your life. ”

Yan Hao smiled: "Yan Zhen, you are still so naïve, how can you be sure that you can catch this king?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard a "bang", and the originally closed door of the temple suddenly opened for some reason.

Sima Hongyan suddenly woke up and said, "Oh no! It's Lan Shuang, forget about her! ”

It turned out that Lan Shuang knew that something was wrong the moment the door was closed, so she took advantage of the chaos to hide in the corner, and quietly climbed onto the beam of the main hall from the dead end, she hid in the dark and was not discovered by the forbidden army in ambush, and Lan Shuang took the opportunity to find the mechanism on the gate.

The mechanism of the palace gate is not complicated, it didn't take long for Lan Shuang to find the key to the mechanism, and while Yan Hao and Emperor Yan Zhen were talking, she secretly destroyed the mechanism on the gate. The mechanism was destroyed, and the door of the temple was naturally opened. The fire outside the door had been extinguished, but the rebels did not dare to come forward for fear of being ambushed again, and when they saw that the door was open, they rushed in.
