"you*."

As soon as his words were settled, Cui Hao's sword roared, and he stopped sideways in front of Li Chen, who was born to be silent, scolded for the first time in his life.

Qiu Feng, Xiao Qi, and even Moon Frost all stopped sideways in front of the national teacher at this time, making a wall to block them, and everyone's meaning was very clear: If you want to kill him, you must kill me first.

Behind them, Li Chen, who had been silent for a long time, finally raised his head, his face full of sadness and grief, just like the handsome mountains and rivers covering the fog, and the sunset turned red. He was born to be good at holding back his emotions, and he refused to shed half a tear in front of others even if his soul was in severe pain, but now, after all, he still can't collapse, his voice is hoarse, and the choking sound in his nasal cavity is still there, "You're right." When I entered Beijing, you personally approved Lone Star's life for me, and if I died, of course they might be able to save their lives. ”

Xiao Qi and the others looked at Li Chen in horror, and Qiu Feng said in a panic: "Your Highness! It's not a pity for us to die! ”

As Li Chen spoke, the sadness gradually converged into the bottom of his heart, and his face finally returned to the bottomless and secluded lake, which made people unable to see the emotion, only the closest people could vaguely perceive the sadness of despair, he said in a low and slow voice: "You have never understood, in fact, until this moment, I still don't want to involve too many people, or kill too many people, just because I know that there are 300,000 people in this field, many people don't know what is going on, they just listen to what others say, they can only do anything."

When you set up the bureau, you never even thought about the safety of these people, right? But I think I can really kill a lot of people if I wanted to. Even if you don't care about their lives, I think it's still something you don't want to see. ”

The expressions of the eldest grandson Shunde and the others became a little ugly, just like Li Chen said, even if they never put the lives of ordinary people in their eyes, but there are so many soldiers, there are always some people from their families, if Li Chen really kills today, it will be very tricky.

Only the national teacher still smiled, "But you won't kill so many people." ”

Li Chen was silent for a long time, as if regretful, and as if he sighed happily, "Indeed." A gentleman can be bullied, although I am not a gentleman, and the lives of the people under my hands are unknown, but I really can't do such a thing. ”

His gaze crossed the mountains, as if he had fallen on Kyoto, thousands of miles away in the wilderness, as if he saw the imperial city, or a certain person or some person in the imperial city.

Kyoto.

Guan Yi knelt outside the imperial city, and there were five or six figures behind him, all of whom were protégés of Hanshan Academy.

At first glance, Guan Yi was also extremely shocked when he heard the news that Li Chen was actually the holy son of the demon clan, but after thinking about it carefully, he still decided to do something for Li Chen.

When gathering these people together, Guan Yi once said: "When I entered the court, His Royal Highness asked me about my original intention of being an official, and I said that it was for the peace of the holy court. At that time, His Royal Highness only said one word, I hope that after becoming an official, whether it is a year, ten years or a hundred years, don't forget what you said at this moment.

Now that the story of Falling Feather Plains has spread all over the world, I know that you must be very conflicted. As a protégé of Hanshan Academy, we are actually also disciples of His Royal Highness, and we should have gone to the soup for the teacher, but for the sake of the peace of the Holy Dynasty, we should exterminate the traitors, which is an extremely difficult choice, but I have carefully read the news given by the official family, and now many of His Highness's many crimes are speculations without real evidence, and there is no conclusive evidence.

It's just that if you think about it again, it's true that His Highness has protected tens of millions of people in Meteoric Mountain, and it is also true that he has spoken up for us and even provided the academy, I only hope that His Royal Highness will leave his life and investigate this matter clearly, if it is really a traitor of the country, I am willing to cut it with my own hands, if not, I will return His Highness's innocence. Who wants to go with me? ”

The students did not hesitate.

In the palace, Li Tang asked, "Is Guan Yi still outside the imperial city?" ”

Gonggong Zhuo knew that this saint actually attached great importance to the champion of the current department, and responded: "Still kneeling." ”

Li Tang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Give them a reason, let them go back first, and say that I will try my best to save his life." ”

Half an hour later, Gonggong Zhuo relayed Li Tang's original words, and the students who knelt on the ground helped each other and staggered up.

Looking at their backs, Zhuo Gong wanted to speak several times, but finally stopped a few people, and asked loudly: "Master Guan, you have been in the cold for more than ten years, and you have not suffered much to get to where you are today, why do you gamble on your wealth and future for the Nine Emperor Princes now?" Aren't you afraid of upsetting Your Majesty? ”

Guan Yi turned around and said seriously: "As a protégé of His Highness, it is my duty to say a word for His Highness, how can I be afraid of things outside my body?" That's not the way to be human. ”

Father-in-law Zhuo asked again: "But when I heard that your mother is old, didn't I think about him?" ”

Guan Yi smiled and said: "At the beginning, I did have concerns because of the old mother at home, although I was not sorry to die, but if she was implicated in her old man, it would be a hundred deaths, but her old man said: She gave birth to me, this is to give me life, but His Royal Highness gave me knowledge and thoughts, this is to give me life, this is the same friendship as my parents, how can I be afraid of her now?" This is not the principle of being a human being. ”

Gonggong Zhuo was silent for a long time, and the great eunuch who had seen a lot of Shangshu and Shilang in the past actually bowed slightly to this six-grade official.

Guan Yi returned a salute, "Gonggong Zhuo, please tell Your Majesty, we will come again tomorrow, we know that what we have done now is insignificant, but no matter the result, we will not pity this body of flesh and skin, just do our best." ”

Beside him, a group of students said in unison: "My lord, Gao Yi." ”

Gonggong Zhuo passed Guan Yi's original words to Li Tang, Li Tang appreciated it even more, but also sighed and said: "Such loyalty and talent should have come from my disciples, how can that demon be a teacher of this kind of character?" ”

Gonggong Zhuo hurriedly said: "Now that Lord Guan has entered the court, of course it is His Majesty's people, and when the National Teacher and they come back, the evidence of that man-made disaster and the Holy Dynasty will be made public, and with Lord Guan's ability to distinguish between right and wrong, of course he knows what to do." ”

Li Tang chuckled low because of Father-in-law Zhuo's words, "Evidence? The family wants to kill him, because he is too popular, his talent is too good, and he built the Hanshan Academy, and he is about to take away more and more luck from the family, and the demon clan wants to kill him because someone doesn't want to see him in charge of the demon clan, I want to kill him, and there are countless reasons why he must be killed. In today's situation, what reason and evidence are needed to kill him, it's just that he must die, if he doesn't die today, I don't know how many people in this world can't sleep. ”

Zhuo Gonggong just didn't hear it, and once again became deaf and dumb.

The next day, Guan Yi and several students knelt outside the imperial city as usual.
