Chapter 143: Shadow, What Do You Want?
Shen Zhiyuan was kidnapped from prison, which made Situ Rui extremely angry. But not long after sending people to look for it, the turn of events made Situ Rui puzzled again.
Situ Rui was originally suspicious that Shen Zhiyuan was rescued by Shen Yunyou. But...... Situ Rui looked at Shen Zhiyuan's corpse in front of him, puzzled. Who deliberately rescued Shen Zhiyuan and killed him? Shen Zhiyuan's enemy?
Shen Zhiyuan's body was found in the middle of the city, so naturally this matter quickly spread all over the streets and alleys, shocking countless people.
This is naturally another difficult problem for Situ Rui. In just a few days, several ministers of the DPRK and China died. Not to mention Shen Yunyou's disappearance, even the sudden attack of Long Mingguo also made Situ Rui a little unbearable.
When Situ Rui had not yet ascended the throne, Long Mingguo was ready to move many times. Situ Rui personally led his troops to the border pass, not once or twice. But every time he went there, Long Mingguo would suddenly withdraw his troops, leaving them helpless. The terrain of the Dragon Ming Kingdom is easy to defend and easy to attack, and if you rush over, it will cause great losses. So Situ Rui at that time didn't make a move for the sake of insurance. But now the situation is very different, because the enemy has already reached the door.
Situ Rui was thinking about how to deal with Long Mingguo's plan, when Situ Nan suddenly rushed in with a panicked face.
"Brother Huang, it's no good!"
"What's wrong?" Situ Rui looked at Situ Nan's expression and asked.
"The shadows appeared. Just outside the city. ”
Situ Nan's words made Situ Rui get up and strode to Situ Nan's side, Situ Rui asked in a low voice, "Where is it, take me there." ”
Situ Nan glanced at Situ Rui uneasily and nodded slightly. and Situ Rui walked towards the door, the two of them rode on horses, took many guards and guards, galloped all the way, and headed towards the city gate.
Coming to the city gate, Situ Rui saw the white figure in the distance at a glance. Jumping off the horse, Situ Rui clenched his fists forbearingly, silently staring at the shadow.
The Shadow crouched boredly on the ground, a weed in his mouth. After seeing the appearance of Situ Rui and the others with his peripheral vision, the shadow stood up from the ground unhurriedly, spit out the weeds on his mouth, and looked at Situ Rui lazily.
"The grass people see the emperor."
Situ Rui couldn't help but sneer when he heard the dark night say goodbye to him. Situ Rui followed behind everyone, approaching the shadow step by step. Situ Rui looked at his fearless appearance, and there was an inexplicable anger in his heart.
"Shadow, I ask you, are you guilty?" Situ Rui stopped, leaving a short distance between him and the shadow. He asked in a clear voice: "You killed Prime Minister Shen Zhiyuan, General Song Leiming and Deputy General Song Leiyi, and now you still have the courage to appear in front of me?" ”
"Your Majesty, this is not what the grass people do, don't just press on the grass people. The grass people can't afford it. "When Shadow heard Situ Rui say this, he felt wronged." I deliberately appeared today to let the emperor find out, and the reason why I brought the emperor here is to tell the emperor a very important thing, if the emperor doesn't want to hear it, then the grass people will leave now, don't talk about it. ”
"Let's go?" Situ Rui smiled evilly and raised the corners of his mouth, looking contemptuously at the mask on the shadow face, "A waste who doesn't even dare to let people see his true face, do you think I will let you leave today?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's better not to say too much." The shadow shook his head with a sigh, looked at the hundreds of guards behind Situ Rui, and said meaningfully: "You brought someone here, and I may not be just here alone. Do you think I'm going to be stupid enough to come to see you without any preparation? ”
The shadow's words made both Situ Rui and Situ Nan immediately alert, and they looked around vigilantly, and their reactions made the shadow smile silently.
"Your Majesty, I don't know if Niangniang is in the palace now?" Situ Rui stopped talking, and the shadow had no choice but to continue the conversation. Asking a question that made Situ Rui extremely concerned, the shadow chuckled lightly at his boss Tu Rui's eyes that were instantly blinded by murderous aura. "Your Majesty, don't look at me like that, I'm afraid."
"Shadow, whoever knows her will hand her over quickly!" Situ Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, I will not spare you!" ”
"Your Majesty, your words will make the grass people embarrassed." The Shadow shrugged indifferently. "Your concubine is gone, how can you blame me? Besides, even if she is really in my hands, you have to ask her if she is willing to go back to you. Otherwise, you say, why would she want to go with me? ”
"Presumptuous!" Situ Rui trembled angrily, "You kidnapped my beloved concubine, and now you dare to speak strongly?!" ”
The shadow silently watched Situ Rui get angry, this was the picture he had wanted to see for a long time, and it was also the ending he wanted. There was a narrow light flashing in his eyes, and the shadow remained motionless, silent, just standing there like that, quietly looking at Situ Rui.
Here is the shadow standing alone, and over there is Situ Rui leading hundreds of royal forest troops. The two stood opposite each other, neither of them had any intention of taking a step back, and neither of them wanted to let the other go.
Suddenly, the Shadow sighed. The voice said evilly: "Your Majesty, since you don't believe it, then I'll take you to see her." Or, do I call her over and let her personally admit to you that she doesn't want to be around you, that she wants to go with me? ”
The shadow's words made Situ Rui unable to suppress the anger in his heart any longer, and drew the sword in his hand, Situ Rui roared: "Take the thief Shadow, take it down to me!" ”
As soon as Situ Rui's words were spoken, everyone immediately set off and prepared to rush towards the shadow. But at this moment, the voice behind them made them have to stop.
"Stop for the mourning family!"
The voice revealed a majesty that they could not resist, and everyone turned around one after another, and what they saw was the Queen Mother on horseback with a serious face, Liu Xinru.
Liu Xinru looked at the situation in front of her condescendingly, and her eyes were coldly aimed at the shadow. Seeing the shadow clothes standing there flutteringly, meeting his gaze without humility or arrogance, Liu Xin frowned without a trace and jumped off the horse.
"Queen Mother, why are you here?" Situ Rui was surprised by Liu Xinru's arrival.
Liu Xinru glanced at Situ Rui lightly and did not make a sound. Can she do it if she doesn't come? If she doesn't come, Situ Rui can't tell how much loss she will suffer!
Liu Xinru recalled the scene in the palace just now, she was originally lying in the dormitory resting, but a sharp arrow that could be shot in from outside the door broke Liu Xinru's leisurely calm.
Liu Xinru took down the letter on the arrow and read it carefully, without thinking much or thinking too much, she immediately prepared her horse and came towards the city gate. That letter must be the masterpiece of the shadow, dare to enter the palace in broad daylight to do evil, and now except for the shadow people, Liu Xinru can't find any other suspicious targets.
"Shadow, what do you want?" Liu Xinru looked at the shadow with a calm face and asked, "What do you want, say it." ”
"Will the Queen Mother give me whatever I want?" The Shadow asked rhetorically, interested.
"It's just that if you say it, it will find a way to satisfy you."
"The Queen Mother is really a big breath!" The Shadow smiled playfully: "Okay, I want to pray for the throne of the Heavenly Kingdom, let your son abdicate, and let me be the emperor for a few days, how about it?" ”
The Shadow's words were not ashamed, and he had already angered everyone. But Liu Xinru kept signaling them not to do it, because Liu Xinru knew in her heart that the shadow must have come prepared this time, if the people on his side were really angry with him and did it, then it was very likely that they would be defeated, and there would not be many people left! That was inevitably another big blow to Situ Rui. Moreover, Liu Xinru also has her own plans in her heart.
The arrival of Liu Xinru has made things change subtly. Seeing that Liu Xinru had been refusing to let Situ Rui's people do it, the shadow understood what she was thinking about. But the purpose of his coming here today is to give her and Situ Rui a heavy blow, if Liu Xin doesn't make a move, how can the shadow stop?
The shadow whistled, and soon there was another sound of horses' hooves in the distance. Someone who wasn't supposed to be here just appeared in their sight.
Shen Yunyang was dressed in a light green skirt and came on horseback. When he arrived at the side of the shadow, Shen Yunyang didn't even get off the horse, just looked straight at Situ Rui with contemptuous eyes.
The moment Situ Rui saw Shen Yunyang, his body was already extremely stiff. Looking at Shen Yunyang's eyes as if he was looking at a stranger, Situ Rui felt even more heartbroken. And this feeling became clearer and more intense as Shen Yunyang spoke.
"Your Majesty, haven't I already left you a letter?" Shen Yunyang spoke softly and said, "I didn't lie to you, I really don't love you." The person I love has always been a shadow. Why are you here? Why are you forcing me to show up? Let me be calmly out of your control, can't you? ”
"Shen Yunyou, do you know what you're talking about now?" Situ Rui gritted his teeth, listened to his own voice, and saw only her alone.
"I know very well what I'm talking about, and I hope the emperor knows what I'm talking about." Shen Yunyang happily answered Situ Rui's question, then hooked the corners of his mouth defiantly and smiled slightly. "But if the emperor doesn't understand me, I'm not surprised. Anyway, Your Majesty, you have always been so stupid, otherwise you wouldn't have been fooled by me for so long, and you didn't know it. ”
Shen Yunyang's words completely angered Situ Rui, ignoring Liu Xinru's obstruction, Situ Rui took the lead in holding the long sword and rushed towards Shen Yunyang and the shadow.
As soon as Situ Rui moved, the Imperial Forest Army behind him sped up and followed closely behind him. At the same time as Situ Rui made his move, dozens of shadows' subordinates who were hiding in the shadows also immediately appeared, blocking in front of the shadows and Shen Yunyang.
