After that, Zhou Lie was nowhere to be found, although there are still many legends related to Zhou Lie in Chang'an, and the guards in the forbidden palace will still see the figure walking through the palace on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month. But everything is chasing after the wind, and no one knows where Zhou Lie is hiding.

Sima Ying had a premonition that Zhou Lie would definitely appear in front of him again, and the next time they met, he would definitely let Zhou Lie lose under his sword, and he wanted Zhou Lie to know how ridiculous he was to despise himself at the beginning.

This meeting on the city wall also rekindled Sima Ying's fighting spirit, and he retreated in the palace for two years, and finally realized the essence of swordsmanship, and his sword art reached the realm.

In Wang Mang's eyes, Sima Ying has become a veritable number one sword in the world, and Wang Mang at this moment, like Sima Ying, is also waiting, waiting for an opportunity.

Zhou Jiaerlang, unparalleled in the world.

For several years, this sentence has been echoing in Wang Mang's ears, Wang Mang is jealous of Zhou Lie, he is just a martial artist, why do others say that he is unparalleled in the world? In the past ten years, Wang Mang has worn the mask of a good man every day, a corporal of etiquette, a good and a caring world, his acting skills are exquisite, and almost no one can see the flaws, but so far, he is just a "century-old virtuous minister" in the mouth of others.

Wang Mang is unwilling, what he wants is not a century-old virtuous minister, what he wants is unparalleled in the world.

In the second year of Yuanshou, in June, the Son of Heaven died, and Wang Mang and Sima Ying realized at the same time that the opportunity had finally come.

That morning, Sima Ying got up early, and he stood in front of the gate of the palace, staring at the huge wooden beam in front of the door.

When Wang Mang stepped out of the threshold, he saw Sima Ying, and Sima Ying also saw Wang Mang from the afterglow, but he still made a look of being outside the spirit.

Wang Mang was supposed to rush to Weiyang Palace early today, and today, he had a big thing to do, but when he saw Sima Ying, he felt as if something had been touched in his heart, so he stopped under an inexplicable force and stood aside and looked at Sima Ying quietly.

He wanted to see what Sima Ying was going to do.

Sima Ying took a deep breath and held his hand on the hilt of the sword.

In the next moment, Wang Mang saw the most unforgettable scene in his life, he just felt Sima Ying's body shake slightly, and saw that Sima Ying's long sword was already half a foot away from the sheath.

Wang Mang didn't know if Sima Ying was about to pull out the long sword or if he was about to insert the sword back into the scabbard.

There was a crisp click, and the one-meter-wide wooden beam was broken, not only the wooden beam, but even a large piece of the stone wall next to the door was also severed.

Just now, Sima Ying took out his sword, but Wang Mang couldn't see his movements clearly.

Moreover, Wang Mang noticed that the sword in Sima Ying's hand did not have a blade, and he relied on such a blunt sword to cut off the wooden beams and stone walls, and on the sword, there was no trace of damage.

The first sword in the world really lives up to its name.

Sima Ying's sword has completely exceeded Wang Mang's understanding of swordsmanship.

At this time, Sima Ying turned around and bowed respectfully to Wang Mang.

Wang Mang looked at Sima Ying and showed a satisfied smile.

This time, Zhou Lie will die!

On the same day, Wang Mang held the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun hostage, and issued an edict in the name of the Empress Dowager: "The former Empress Dowager and Zhaoyi are both serving each other, and the sisters and brothers are favored and bedridden, and they are carrying out the plot of thieves and chaos, destroying the heirs to endanger the temple, violating the heavens and violating the ancestors, and not being the righteousness of the mother of the world." The Empress Dowager was degraded to Empress Xiaocheng and migrated to the North Palace. ”

Zhao Feiyan was driven down from the position of the queen mother, and she became the queen again, but she did not feel anxious because of this, and she was as calm and calm as ever.

Seeing Zhao Feiyan's appearance, Wang Mang felt as if his heart was being grabbed.

Why is she still so calm, she should be panicked, she should be afraid, why is that?

A month later, Wang Mang issued an edict in the name of Wang Zhengjun, demoting Zhao Feiyan and Empress Fu to concubines and letting them garrison the imperial mausoleum.

Zhao Feiyan did not hesitate after learning the news, and immediately left the palace, and from her face, Wang Mang saw a relieved calmness again.

Wang Mang trembled with hatred, and in front of this woman, he had the feeling of being poor for the first time.

So far, Zhou Lie still hasn't appeared.

In fact, Zhou Lie left Chang'an as early as a month ago, and he has been waiting for the catastrophe to come. Zhuang Junping sent him a letter a month earlier, saying that if he wanted to save Zhao Feiyan, Zhou Lie must leave Chang'an immediately and wait until the next full moon appeared before going to Shaolingyuan.

On the night that Zhou Lie opened the letter, there was a full moon hanging in the sky.

When Zhao Feiyan was in front of the imperial mausoleum, Zhou Lie had already returned to Shaolingyuan. It rained for half a month, and the rain finally stopped last night, but tonight, there was a heavy fog in Shaolingyuan again, and Zhou Lie knew that Zhao Feiyan's catastrophe was coming.

After Wang Mang left Weiyang Palace, he hurriedly mobilized 20,000 forbidden troops, and he used 15,000 people to surround Shaolingyuan, and the remaining 5,000 people were all left in the imperial tomb.

These 5,000 people are the elite of the elite, and in addition, Wang Mang also brought Sima Ying.

At this time, Wang Mang was staring at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum, he kept rubbing his hands, and his heart was a little irritable.

When he came to the imperial mausoleum, the generals of the forbidden army told him that even if he could hold Zhou Lie with 5,000 elite soldiers alone, he would inevitably suffer heavy casualties. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Wang Mang also brought ten siege crossbows when he came.

Five thousand elite soldiers, plus the first sword in the sky and ten siege crossbows, in order to use such a huge force for Zhou Lie!

For the sake of a Zhou Lie, is it necessary to use such a big stroke? Wang Mang didn't know if it was necessary to do this, he only knew that Zhou Lie had to die.

Two guards brought Zhao Feiyan and Empress Fu to Wang Mang.

These two women who used to be mothers in the world have two completely different performances in front of Wang Mang.

Empress Fu sensed that doom was coming, and she looked at Wang Mang, her eyes full of panic.

Wang Mang was very satisfied with Queen Fu's performance.

But when Wang Mang moved his gaze to Zhao Feiyan, he couldn't help frowning.

Zhao Feiyan had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes kept looking at the entrance of the imperial tomb, and she didn't seem to take Wang Mang in her eyes at all.

Wang Mang didn't feel the slightest panic and nervousness in Zhao Feiyan, which made his heart fire namelessly, he raised his hand, pointed at Queen Fu, gritted his teeth and said a word: "Kill!" ”

The own guards came up behind Empress Fu and pierced Empress Fu's heart with a sword, and Empress Fu died before she even had time to snort.

Wang Mang looked at the sword-wielding guard, his eyes showed a hint of displeasure, in his opinion, Empress Fu died too easily.

Then, Wang Mang moved his gaze to Zhao Feiyan's face, and Zhao Feiyan also looked at him at this time.

Wang Mang stepped on the soles of his feet on Empress Fu's face and looked at Zhao Feiyan proudly.

Zhao Feiyan smiled helplessly, turned her gaze to the entrance of the imperial mausoleum, and then said lightly: "No wonder Zhou Lang looks down on you, villain." ”

Wang Mang finally couldn't hold it back, and he roared angrily at the forbidden troops around him: "Shave her face!" ”

Zhao Feiyan still stared silently into the distance, motionless, letting the sword-wielding guards hurriedly approach her.

She knew that Zhou Lang would definitely show up, and as long as he was there, nothing would happen to her.

A pawn came up to Zhao Feiyan, aimed at Zhao Fei's face, and raised his long sword.

To be honest, the moment this pawn pulled out his long sword, Wang Mang felt a trace of regret.

Perennial Muscle Pills have allowed Zhao Feiyan to still maintain her girlish appearance, and now, this beautiful face is about to disappear. Wang Mang kept staring at Zhao Feiyan's face, it was really a prosperous beauty, which could overturn the world.

Although Wang Mang regretted it, he would not be soft-hearted, what he wanted was not a beauty like Zhao Feiyan, but the world.

Just as the sword was about to fall on Zhao Feiyan's face, a dull sound came from Zhao Feiyan's side, and more than a dozen guards around her fell to the ground at the same time, and a blood hole the size of a copper coin appeared on everyone's forehead.

Zhou Lie still came, and at this time he was standing at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum, holding a handful of gravel in his hand, and gave Zhao Feiyan a hearty smile.

Zhao Feiyan smiled at Zhou Lie, in fact, at such a distance, she couldn't see the expression on Zhou Lie's face clearly, but she could feel that Zhou Lie was smiling at her.

When Wang Mang saw Zhou Lie, he was stunned for a moment, and then he shouted at the nearby guards: "Shave her face!" ”

A few more soldiers approached Zhao Feiyan, but before they could walk in front of Zhao Feiyan, Zhou Lie threw the gravel in his hand.

A handful of gravel was sprinkled into the air at the same time, but as if they had consciousness, they avoided the five thousand forbidden troops who surrounded Zhou Lie and flew directly to Zhao Feiyan's side.

All those who dared to approach Zhao Feiyan lost hope of survival when they took the first step.

Sima Ying looked at the few guards lying in a pool of blood, his body was shaking uncontrollably, and he didn't know whether he was nervous or excited.

After practicing swords for more than 30 years, he thought he was invincible in the world, and now there was finally such an opponent as Zhou Lie, and he needed such an opponent to verify his swordsmanship.

At this moment, Sima Ying had already forgotten Wang Mang's promise to him, what thousands of acres of fertile land and high-ranking officials didn't matter to him, he just wanted to fight with Zhou Lie.

Twenty people had died before the war, Wang Mang was a little panicked, but he still maintained the most basic sanity, and immediately waved his long sleeves and shouted to the crowd: "Kill Zhou Lie, reward 10,000 gold, seal 1,000 households!" ”

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, as soon as Wang Mang's voice fell, the five thousand elite soldiers gathered in the imperial tomb were like chicken blood, and they rushed to Zhou Lie.

In their eyes, although Zhou Lie is powerful, but after all, there is only one person, and it should be easy for five thousand people to capture Zhou Lie, and now they are not thinking about how to capture Zhou Lie, but how to divide Zhou Lie's corpse, so that Wang Mang can receive the reward.

But including Wang Mang and Sima Ying, everyone ignored one thing, in addition to the 5,000 elite soldiers in the imperial tomb, there were 15,000 guards around the Shaoling Plateau, and those people had already surrounded the Shaoling Plateau into an iron wall, how did Zhou Lie get in?
