At this time, a few more people came in at the exit of the secret passage of Zhaoming Palace, and the first one was a fat man, naked and covered in embroidery, which was the tiger hunting general Wang Dali.

He wielded a double-plate axe in his hand, covered in blood, and shouted: "Hurry up and get out of the way for grandpa, otherwise grandpa will chop melons and vegetables, one by one!" ”

He was followed by "useless scholar" Zheng Wenjie and "Red Flame Snake" Li Ergua.

Wang Dali rushed to the front, saw Ye Pei, and shouted happily: "Oh, sister of the Ye family, it turns out that you are also here!" Hurry up, help my brother hack that dog emperor to death, and you will be the queen of our northern country! ”

When Yelu Zong heard this, he looked at Ye Pei in a daze, "You are also here to kill me?" ”

Ye Pei didn't know how to explain it, how could she explain this chaotic army clearly?

At this moment, Wang Dali had already jumped in front of Yelu Zongzhen with a strong step, and he waved two plate axes towards Yelu Zongzhenkan.

At this time, Ye Pei, who was standing less than three feet next to Yelu Zongzhen, instinctively threw out the fish and dragon whip, and dragged it around Wang Dali's axe, and dragged him with a "tangled and intricate" move.

Wang Dali was puzzled, twisted his eyebrows and looked at Ye Pei and said, "Sister of the Ye family, why are you ......?"

Before he finished speaking, a scimitar from the Leather Room Army Flying Dragon Envoy cut off Wang Dali's fat head, and the blood splashed Ye Pei and Zong Zhen, which also frightened Ye Pei to take a step back.

At this time, Aru not only had already recovered his senses, but also raised his flaming spear and stabbed at Yelu Zongzhen.

The Flying Dragon Envoy shouted to Zong Zhen: "Lord, go quickly!" "Armed with a Khitan scimitar, fight against the king of the north.

Yelu Zongzhen also came to his senses and pulled Ye Pei to run towards the small door behind Long Hu.

Ye Pei's eyes were still fixed on Alu, she didn't want to leave, she didn't want to stay, she didn't seem to be herself at this time, she didn't know what Lou Zijin was doing, she didn't know what she was doing, she couldn't even react to what was happening in front of her, and she didn't even believe that it was true.

I only heard Yelu Zongzhen beside me say: "Princess, go with me!" ”

Yelu Chongyuan also chased after him and urged, "Sister Ye Pei, come with us." ”

The next few guards protected the lord, King Qin and Ye Pei, and walked out of the main hall of Zhaoming Palace in an instant.

As soon as they came out, Yelu Digu, the king of the North Courtyard, and Xiao Xiaomu, who stayed in Zhongjing, quickly surrounded and escorted them.

Yelu Digu gave an order, all the doors and windows of the main hall of Zhaoming Palace suddenly closed, and thousands of crossbow machines popped out of the wall mechanism, only listening to the "bang, bang, bang" Ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and the people in the main hall, including the rebels brought by Alu, and the guards of the Liao Emperor himself, did not leave a single one, and all of them were shot to death.

Ye Pei hadn't even reacted to what had happened at this time, or that many people on the scene hadn't reacted to what had happened.

For a while, the main hall of Zhaoming Palace has become a purgatory on earth, no matter how high your martial arts are and how strong your combat effectiveness is, you are just a human target. There can't even a single fly fly out of the hall, so how can there be a live mouth?

After a burst of strafing, the hall fell completely silent.

When Ye Pei realized what was happening, it was too late, and she shouted frantically, "No! No! ”

She just wanted to rush back to the main hall through the small door.

Zhou Xun on the side was shocked and burst into tears, but he quickly reacted, grabbed Ye Pei and said, "Princess! Don't do that, princess! ”

Ye Pei didn't hear it, and slapped the iron door with his hand.

"Let me in! Let me in! Her voice was like the wail of a goshawk in the sky, terrible and miserable.

The people around him were so quiet that they seemed to have disappeared, Ye Pei suddenly realized something, suddenly turned around and held Yelu Zongzhen beside him, and roared angrily: "You ordered them to open the door!" ”

The crowd exclaimed, "Lord! ”

Yelu Chongyuan also said urgently: "Sister Ye Pei, you let go!" ”

Yelu Zongzhen's eyes widened and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhou Xun explained on the side: "The Lord is angry, she is really the eldest princess of the Great Song Dynasty, she is the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager Zhang Xianmingsu, she once learned martial arts under Long Wei, and now among the rebels in the Zhaoming Palace, there are her former senior brothers and relatives!" ”

Zong Zhen gritted his teeth and asked, "You want to avenge them?" ”

Zhou Xun knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Mingjian, the minister dares to guarantee that the princess will never have such thoughts." This time, the princess came to perceive the rebel conspiracy and came to rescue the Lord. Please be enlightened! ”

Yelu Zong really thought that Ye Pei had saved himself twice just now, and he was definitely not with the rebels, so he relaxed: "I believe in the princess!" ”

Hearing that there was no sound in the main hall of Zhaoming Palace, Yelu Zongzhen ordered: "Open the door!" ”

Hearing the order, Yelu Digu and Xiao Xiaomu quickly escorted to Yelu Zongzhen's side, and then asked the attendants to open the small iron door with a "squeak".

Ye Pei saw that the door was open, and he didn't care about Yelu Zongzhen and the others, so he flashed into the main hall, and Zhou Xun also followed.

The tragic situation in the palace is unbearable to look at.

The ground was full of corpses, blood was splattered everywhere, and the heavy smell of blood filled the entire hall.

Crossbow arrows pierced on people, walls, or the ground are like dense forests that people can't pass through. All the furniture and furnishings have been overturned to the ground, shot through countless holes, or like hedgehogs.

The expressions on people's faces varied, some frightened, some resentful, some painful, some numb.

Ye Pei is a general who has experienced the baptism of war, she has seen piles of corpses and bones, and she has experienced the pain of her relatives dying in front of her. But at this moment, she still felt shocked, this kind of scene was really unacceptable.

Ye Pei looked around.

Finally, she saw Lou Zijin's body, he was lying on the steps reclining, only a few steps away from the dragon seat.

He was covered with the body of another man, which must have fallen on him to protect him, and that body had more than two dozen blood holes in it, and there was still bubbling purple blood.

The blood in Ye Pei's whole body also seemed to have dried up, and she walked over in a flicker, turning over the corpse covering Lou Zijin's body.

The moment it turned over, Ye Pei stopped, and that person turned out to be Senior Brother Lu Chang!

Ye Pei's breathing paused, and then he gasped heavily. At this moment, she didn't have any tears, and her eyes were bloodshot.

Ye Pei picked up Lou Zijin's flesh-and-blood body, and that kind of feeling, she knew what it meant to be heartbreaking, and what it meant to cry without tears.

It's a numbing pain, a sense of emptiness.

She suddenly understood how the Empress Dowager Liu E felt when she killed her master Sikong Qi, and she stared at a pair of eyes but couldn't shed tears. She looked at Lou Zijin, gently stroked the deep blood-colored scar on his face, and shouted softly: "Senior brother! ”

Lou Zijin unexpectedly opened his eyes, his eyes were as clear, pure, and enthusiastic as when he was a child, and he said with all his might: "Senior sister! ”

……

Ye Pei didn't know how she had left Zhaoming Palace, and when she woke up, it was already the evening three days later.

Guarding her side is Zhou Xun.

Ye Pei raised his eyes and looked at it, it was an unfamiliar palace, so he shouted, "Brother Zhou! ”

Zhou Xun's state was not very good, Ye Pei even felt that when he was engaged, Zhou Xun's state was no different from himself.

"Brother Zhou!" Ye Pei screamed again, and Zhou Xun came back from his trance.

"What's the matter? Princess. ”

"Where is this?" Ye Pei asked.

"This is the Great Liao Palace, the Yanxi Palace."

Ye Pei asked again: "We haven't left the Zhongjing Imperial Palace yet?" ”

Zhou Xun said: "Yes, when you saw that kind of situation, you were in a hurry for a while and fainted. The Lord remembered that you were loyal, and specially allowed you to rest in the Yanxi Palace, and asked the imperial doctor to take your pulse, saying that you would return to the post house when you woke up. ”

When Ye Pei heard Zhou Xun say "that kind of situation", he was like a person who drank a broken piece, and he didn't know what kind of situation he was talking about after thinking about it for a long time.

She asked blankly: "Can you inquire clearly, how could my senior brother lead troops to rebel against Liao?" ”

Zhou Xun seemed to have a thousand words, and choked up, as if he couldn't start.

Ye Pei looked at Zhou Xun's eyes and asked, "Brother Zhou, do you know something?" ”

Zhou Xun suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Please forgive the princess, I hid something from the princess before!" ”

Ye Pei said without joy or sorrow: "Brother Zhou is finally going to tell me the truth?" ”

Zhou Xun was stunned for a moment, only to know that Ye Pei had already sensed, "The princess saved me from death before, but I am no longer grateful, and I will not do anything to hurt the princess." ”

And the beginning and end of the matter is related to Zhou Xun's rescue after all.

It turned out that after Zhou Xun was rescued, he came to settle in Xijin Mansion of Liao State with Lu Chang, and became a shopkeeper in Lu Chang's silk shop.

Later, by chance, Zhou Xun learned that Lu Chang turned out to be a spy of the Liao State, and he was shocked and didn't know what to do.

Lu Chang is his savior, but he wants to be detrimental to his motherland, how should he choose? Zhou Xun was worried that he would be killed, and at that time he simply regretted coming to Liao.

He thought about escaping, but although the world was big, where was the place he was looking for?

Zhou Xun's abnormality was discovered by Lu Chang, and Lu Chang gave him two choices, either to be killed or to cooperate with him.

Zhou Xun chose the latter.

So Zhou Xun knew Lou Zijin's identity and knew Lu Chang's intentions. Even the name "Mr. Wuliu" was specially designed by Lu Chang to attract Ye Pei's attention, just to insert eyeliner next to Ye Pei, so as to understand Ye Pei's various movements after entering Liao.

Of course, Lu Chang didn't want to kill Ye Pei, but felt that Xiao Shinan was dead, and when the king of the north obtained the throne of Liao, Ye Pei would definitely renew his relationship with Lou Zijin.

He didn't even tell the news to the king of the north, and Lu Chang was worried that he would be distracted because of Ye Pei.

But Lu Chang's wishful thinking was wrong, they didn't expect that the defeat of the rebels of the king of the north, the tragic death of Lou Zijin, Lu Chang and others would happen in front of Ye Pei, which was really cruel.

"Lou Zijin is a Khitan person, named Alu Bu, he is the sister of the Empress Dowager Chengtian, and the former imperial concubine Xiao Huran was born. Because Xiao Huran rebelled and was given to death, Aru not only became an orphan, but was rescued by Lu Chang. At that time, the country led by Xiao Huren was in hiding in the country of Gulizha with her cronies.

Lu Chang is not from the Great Song Dynasty, he is a subordinate of Xiao Huran, and he is a spy who has been lurking in the Great Song Dynasty. Later, Aru was not only an adult, but Yue, Lu Chang and others had been dormant for many years and began to move around. Now that the time is ripe, Yelu Zong is really young and succeeds to the throne, the Empress Dowager Fatian is unkind, and the Song-Liao dispute has recurred, Alu not only took advantage of the situation, but also prepared to annihilate the Liao State in one fell swoop and avenge his parents. ”

When Ye Pei heard this, she only felt that her head was about to explode, she closed her eyes and sighed: "Brother Zhou is also a rebel gang, right?" ”

Zhou Xun did not deny it, but continued: "That day, the princess insisted on returning to Zhongjing City, and I knew that I couldn't hide it. I know that the princess is a person with great ambitions, and it is my third life that Zhou Xun can follow you! ”

"Did you reveal the news of the secret passage to Lu Chang?"

Zhou Xun lowered his eyelids to express his approval, what choice did he have at that time?

"But I didn't expect the Lord to be so powerful, he actually set up an ambush in Zhaoming Palace a long time ago, and he didn't hesitate to use himself as bait. Lu Chang's good calculation would fail, it is really an inviolable destiny. ”

Ye Pei's expression was blank, "I guess that mechanism was designed to deal with King Langya and the Empress Dowager Fatian." ”

Ye Pei guessed correctly, it was indeed designed by Yelu Zongzhen when he learned that there was a secret passage in his palace and that enemies might emerge at any time, but he didn't want to become a funeral ground for the rebels.

Lu Chang not only offered advice for Alu, but also took advantage of the failure of King Langya and the Empress Dowager Fatian, and the instability of Yelu Zongzhen's pro-government to seize the imperial power in one fell swoop.

Yeluzong really saw the rebels coming, and the handsome left and right leather room army and his own Wo Du Lu Duo battled. Their original battle strategy was to "invite the king into the urn", that is, let Aru not only enter the city easily, but then surround the city and annihilate it in one fell swoop.

Of course, this is a plan to break the net, and it is very dangerous, but Yelu Sect really has no other way, and life and death are in this battle.

Who would have thought that Aru not only got the news of the secret passage and successfully entered the Zhongjing Palace, but also directly fell into the trap that had been designed for him a long time ago.

After that, Zhou Xun didn't have to say any more.

After that, Alu not only died tragically, but Lu Chang and the brothers of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau died tragically, and all the elites in Zhaoming Palace died. The rebels led by Yue only outside Zhongjing City were defeated by Xiao Xiaomu, Yelu Digu and others, and the whole army was annihilated.

Seeing that the situation was not good, those small auxiliary countries immediately raised the banner of clearing the rebels and surrendered.

Compared with Zhao Zhen, Yelu Zongzhen is more resolute and courageous, and he is not merciful to his biological mother, how can he be merciful when dealing with the rebels? This step-by-step political method is ruthless and old, where does it look like a seventeen-year-old boy?

"Since you saved my life, I want to repay your kindness, I don't mean to harm ......you by doing this," Zhou Xun wanted to pray for Ye Pei's forgiveness. Does he want Ye Pei to be the king of the north and repay her later?

That was the result he expected, and at the beginning he hoped that there would be a turnaround, but now......

"Repay? Is it a reward for you indirectly killing my husband? I can't accept what you think is good! Ye Pei stared at Zhou Xun's eyes, "Let's go!" I can't trust you anymore! ”

Ye Pei said the final decision, but she shed tears, she thought of Lin Bihan and Huang Jian......

"Princess!" Zhou Xun knelt on the ground and couldn't cry.
