Zhang Zhifeng gave the order to fire, but Tang Ling closed his eyes, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

She knew that as long as they fired, many people would die today, and these dead brothers would never enter the martyr's hall of the Wind Country, but would only be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

Just as the gendarmes were about to open fire, someone at the gate of the courtyard suddenly shouted: "Which one of them dare to shoot?"

Hearing the words, the gendarmes present subconsciously looked back, only to see a group of people walking in from outside, led by one who was not a bystander, it was Shangguan Xiu. He was followed by Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei, Zhao Chen, Yan Hui and others.

The gendarmerie never put anyone in their eyes, as long as the superior ordered, even in the face of today's saint, they dared to shoot, but when they saw Shangguan Xiu, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, people were stunned for a moment, and then they put down their muskets one after another, and then they all knelt on one knee, intervened in the salute, and said, "Your Highness!"

Shangguan Xiu didn't look at them, his eyes fell on Tang Ling, and seeing that she was safe and sound, his heart finally let go of his throat and eyes.

Don't look at his lips and say that he is not worried that Tang Ling will be in danger, but his heart is more anxious than anyone else.

He strode through the crowd of gendarmes, came to Tang Ling's approach, and asked with concern on his face, "You, are you okay?"

Tang Ling smiled bitterly and shook her head, looking at the gendarmes kneeling on the ground one by one, she sighed faintly, turned around and walked back to the dormitory.

Shangguan Xiu glanced back, didn't say anything, and followed Tang Ling into the dormitory.

Tang Ling waved to the imperial doctors, female officials, and palace maids in the hall and said, "All go out!"

"Your Majesty......" People are all full of melancholy, looking at Tang Ling for a while, and Shangguan Xiu for a while, I don't know what to do.

Although the words have not yet been clarified, people can see that what happened today is a palace coup, and the mastermind of this coup is the Royal Highness of the Duke in front of him.

Seeing that everyone was unmoved, Tang Ling's face sank, and he shouted, "I asked you all to go out, didn't you hear my words clearly?"

Seeing that Tang Ling's face was not good, everyone didn't dare to pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore, looked at each other, and then bowed down one after another, and cautiously withdrew from the dormitory.

The door of the dormitory was closed tightly, and only Tang Ling and Shangguan Xiu were left in the huge dormitory. Shangguan Xiu looked at Tang Ling with deep eyes and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Tang Ling shook her head, she took off the dragon robe on her body, and the personal armor inside turned into a liquid like mercury, which slowly flowed on her body, and finally converged on her wrist, turning into a silver bracelet.

At the same time, the joints of her whole body were rattling, her originally slender figure quickly became tall and stout, and her facial features were also changing rapidly.

Looking at Shangguan Xiu, who had already changed back to his original state, the body of another 'Shangguan Xiu' in the dormitory also made a crunchy sound, and his tall figure quickly became petite, and in a short time, this 'Shangguan Xiu' had already changed into Tang Ling's appearance.

Before today's banquet began, Shangguan Xiu had told Tang Ling that he wanted to make a game, and this was the 'game' that the two of them did today.

Shangguan Xiu changed into Tang Ling's appearance at random, and Tang Ling changed into Shangguan Xiu's appearance at random, and the two secretly reversed their identities.

Yan Hui felt that today's Shangguan Xiu was different from the past, a little less close, a little more alienated, and his feeling was still very accurate, because the Shangguan Xiu he was watching was not Shangguan Xiu himself, but Tang Ling.

The reason why Shangguan Xiu wanted to switch identities with Tang Ling today was not a temporary intention to be fun, Bai Mengrong had clearly reminded him that today's banquet was likely to have an assassination incident.

But the holy decree has already been promulgated, and it is impossible for the banquet to be canceled halfway for no reason, which affects the emperor's prestige too much, and Shangguan Xiu himself is also very curious, wanting to find out who dares to secretly plot such a rebellious thing as assassinating the monarch.

It's just that he didn't dare to risk Tang Ling's life, so he came up with the idea of the two of them reversing their identities.

When Tang Ling first came to Tianjing, Shangguan Xiu taught her the random change, Tang Ling already had the cultivation of the Spirit Disillusionment Realm, plus the double cultivation with Shangguan Xiu during this time, the cultivation realm was advancing by leaps and bounds, and the random change had already been practiced and applied freely.

Regarding Shangguan Xiu's proposal, Tang Ling just thought it was very novel and interesting, and he didn't think much about it, so he nodded and agreed.

Qian Jin's assassination was something Shangguan Xiu did not expect, but at that time, the banquet had already begun, and he had already turned into Tang Ling's appearance, so it was impossible to leave the venue halfway and visit Qian Jin in person.

Tang Ling knew very well the relationship between Shangguan Xiu and Qian Jin, so she took Shangguan Xiu's place and went to the branch entrance of Shura Hall to visit Qian Jin's injury.

When she was at the entrance of the branch, Tang Ling was extremely dissatisfied with the performance of the Tianjing branch of the Sitong Silver Number, and repeatedly said that the guards of the branch were so lax, how could she rest assured that she could store the silver in the branch.

In Tang Ling's eyes, Shangguan Xiu's silver is also her silver, just as her world is also Shangguan Xiu's world.

If it was Shangguan Xiu himself at that time, he would not have said such straightforward things, and he would not have thought about such a detailed place. This may be the difference between Tang Ling and Shangguan Xiu.

During the banquet, Jun Shengtian's two subordinates quietly took the Gathering Spirit Pill, others may not have noticed, but Shangguan Xiu noticed it, and the moment the spiritual pressure suddenly emanated from the two of them, Shangguan Xiu had already noticed something unusual.

In fact, at this time, Shangguan Xiu could stand up and capture the two of them on the spot.

However, he did not do this, but waited and waited to see what happened. It is impossible for Jun Shengtian to do such a big thing as Assassin Jun, he doesn't have such courage or energy.

When the two assassins suddenly opened fire on him, Shangguan Xiu was even more sure that Jun Shengtian was not the only one who did this. The three-barreled spirit musket, that's not a small thing, outsiders want to bring it into the palace, if there is no internal response, how can it be done?

What happened next also confirmed his suspicions. The gendarmerie surrounded the Xianghe Palace, and all the ministers present were detained in the Xianghe Palace, which may barely be considered a normal performance, but the next 11th Army entered the city and surrounded and guarded the mansions of the ministers under the pretext of protection, which was completely abnormal, and only when the palace coup d'état occurred.

Next, the performance of the gendarmerie was even more blatant. Not only did they prevent the imperial doctor from entering the dormitory for first aid, but when they saw that Tang Ling was safe and sound, the officer even ordered to shoot him directly.

When Shangguan Xiu took Shang Fang's sword and beat two gendarmerie officers, the hatred and anger he showed were the true expression of his inner thoughts.

The gendarmerie is not an old army that acts as a prestige in the rear, and whenever the country is in danger, the gendarmerie is at the forefront, fighting bloody battles with the enemy and bravely killing the enemy.

However, no matter how much they contributed to the country, the conviction of rebellion alone would be enough to discredit all the soldiers in the gendarmerie, and the entire family would be affected and disgraced.

The gendarmerie was not only created by him, most of the officers in it were from the military martial arts hall and were his students, how could Shangguan Xiu not be saddened by the performance of the gendarmerie?

That's how the whole thing came about.

Inside the dormitory.

Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling both changed back to their respective appearances, and after the two changed their clothes, Tang Ling asked again: "Ah Xiu, what is going on today?"

Looking at Tang Ling, who was frowning, Shangguan Xiu told Tang Ling everything he knew so far.

The gendarmerie colluded with Jun Shengtian, assassinated at the banquet, and plotted rebellion, just listening to these things made people feel frightened and shuddered. The gendarmerie is Shangguan Xiu's guard, and if the gendarmerie does such a thing, it will naturally make people believe that Shangguan Xiu is the mastermind behind all this.

Shangguan Xiu walked to the back window of the dormitory, pushed open the window, and slapped his face. After a while, a cloud of black mist condensed in the dormitory, turning into a human form, and Duan Qiyue, who flashed in with a shadow drift, intervened in Shangguan Xiu and saluted, saying, "Brother Xiu!"

Then, he bowed to Tang Ling and said, "Your Majesty!"

Shangguan Xiu asked, "Old Duan, what is the situation in the city now?"

Duan Qiyue Zhengse said: "The Eleventh Army Corps has entered the city with the order of the Governor's Palace, and has now surrounded the official residences of the ministers. ”

Shangguan Xiu asked, "The appointment order of the Governor's Palace?"

"This ......" Duan Qiyue peeked at Tang Ling on the side, and was silent.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. Shangguan Xiu said in a deep voice.

Duan Qiyue looked at Shangguan Xiu carefully, lowered his head and said, "Yes...... It's Brother Xiu, you issued the appointment. ”

"What? was the order I issued?" Shangguan Xiu almost got angry.

"There should be a large seal of the governor's palace on the appointment. Duan Qiyue explained in a low voice.

When Shangguan Xiu heard this, he fell silent. The appointment was stamped with the seal of the Governor's Palace, and it can indeed be said that it was issued by him personally, because the seal of the Governor's Palace had always remained in his hands.

After being silent for a long time, Shangguan Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, I don't know who has such a great ability to steal the Great Seal of the Governor's Mansion under his nose.

He asked, "What is the situation in the palace?"

Duan Qiyue Zhengse said: "The gendarmerie has put the ministers of the court and the central government under house arrest in the Xianghe Palace, and another ......"

"What else?"

"In addition, the Secretary of State proposes to let ...... Let Brother Xiu inherit the throne immediately and stabilize the situation inside and outside the government and the opposition. ”

Zhu'er? Is it her? Shangguan Xiu looked incredulous. First there was the gendarmerie, then there was the 11th Army Corps, and now there is a Tang Mingzhu, how many people are involved in it? After thinking about it, Shangguan Xiu showed a look of sudden enlightenment. No wonder Guan Xi can hold the order of the Governor's Palace, the big seal of the Governor's Mansion is stored in his mansion, and Tang Mingzhu also lives in his mansion, and the order is secretly stamped with the big seal of the Governor's Palace.

Shangguan Xiu rubbed his aching forehead, slowly closed his eyes, and asked, "What's the other situation?"

"Present...... Now more than half of the ministers in the DPRK have decided that His Majesty has collapsed and agreed that Brother Xiu will inherit the unification and stabilize the situation. Duan Qiyue lowered his head and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crisp sound on the side, and a teacup placed on the table had been smashed by Tang Ling.

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand to Duan Qiyue, who hurriedly bowed down and said, "Brother Xiu, my subordinates retire!" As he spoke, his body was weak, and the person had disappeared.

Waiting for Duan Qiyue to leave, Shangguan Xiu turned around and walked up to Tang Ling and asked, "Xiang'er still believes me?"

Tang Ling looked at Shangguan Xiu with a complicated expression and was also full of struggle.

She believed in Shangguan Xiu, but suddenly, she found that it seemed that except for Shangguan Xiu, no one could be trusted. Her eyes were red, and she muttered in a hoarse voice, "Ah Xiu, I'm ...... What exactly am I missing?"

Since her accession to the throne, there are two words that have not been far from her, one is rebellion and the other is rebellion.

Now that the world is unified, the territory of the Wind Country has reached an unprecedented level, and as a result, there are still so many people who are trying their best to pull her off the throne, Tang Ling really doesn't know what he did wrong.

Looking at her straight figure, but her body trembling slightly, Shangguan Xiu took her hand and dragged her into his arms, he said word by word in her ear: "With the husband here, Xiang'er doesn't have to be afraid of anything, even if everyone in the world stands up against Xiang'er, the husband will be on Xiang'er's side." ”

Tang Ling leaned into Shangguan Xiu's arms, listening to his powerful heartbeat, the original panicked mood gradually calmed down, and she said quietly: "If everyone in the world wants me to abdicate, what can I do if I am in Axiu?"
