This punch came too quickly, and it was completely unexpected by Sun Ning.

But his reaction was still fast enough, and just as the fist was about to hit his cheek, there was already a force under his feet, and the person had jumped forward a lot.

There was no room for fire, but he dodged this fierce and fast punch, and at the same time, his hand was pressed on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and he was about to bring the blood wave out of the sheath.

Unexpectedly, the opponent's response was not slower than Sun Ning's, a punch missed, and there was no half a point to stop, the body turned, and the person stuck to it again, one hand snapped the right wrist of the knife, and the other hand still turned into a fist and slammed into the door.

Sun Ning didn't dare to slack off, his body was stunned, his left hand had raised his palm to protect his face, and his right hand let go of the handle of the knife, and he also greeted him with a fist, colliding with the buckle of the person who came.

The situation was urgent, and the other party was fighting fast, so Sun Ning could only give up the more skillful sword to defend against the enemy, but instead deal with it with fists and feet.

Fortunately, after a short confrontation with Su Wenkang's guards in Suzhou a few months ago, Sun Ning began to pay attention to the last two words of the Absolute Xiaogang Fist, and put more effort into it, so that he could calmly respond at this time.

After two slams, the two of them shook and quickly separated, accompanied by two low shouts, but they couldn't get anything cheap from each other's subordinates.

However, Sun Ning was obviously the one who suffered, and he only felt a hot pain in his hands, and the other party's fist was really like a hammer, and it was never a good idea to hit it hard.

So while he retreated, he had already taken advantage of the situation to hold the handle of the knife again, and under the force, the blood wave had come out of the sheath, and he was about to go up again.

As a result, the person on the other side did not take advantage of the situation to pounce, but shouted in a low voice: "Absolute Gang Fist, who are you?" ”

As this voice came, Sun Ning stopped the knife that was about to be chopped, and the vigilance in his eyes turned into surprise and doubt: "Senior Guan ......"

Guan Zhenduo on the other side was even more stunned, and asked tentatively: "Are you Sun ...... His Majesty the Emperor? ”

"It's Sun Ning who came." After confirming the identity of the other party, Sun Ning was finally relieved that the knife had been returned to the sheath, and the person took two steps forward, so that the other party could see himself more clearly, and he could also see the appearance of the person in front of him.

Although Guan Zhenduo had changed his disguise at this time, he was completely dressed as an ordinary servant, but those bright eyes and the grandmaster bearing of Yuan Yue still made Sun Ning quickly confirm that his identity was correct.

In comparison, Sun Ning's appearance has not changed much compared to a few years ago, and his temperament is more majestic, which makes people admire. Therefore, Guan Zhenduo relaxed his body even more, stepped forward and saluted: "Why are you coming to Ruzhou again?" ”

"That's a long story, what about you? Also, what about Liang Taishou? Is he safe here? Sun Ning said vaguely, his experience and the purpose of this is really not something that can be explained in one or two sentences.

Guan Zhenduo smiled: "He naturally sleeps in the house, and I am here to prevent someone from treating him badly." It's just that I didn't expect that tonight's uninvited guest would be Your Majesty...... Let's go over and see Brother Liang first, he should be glad that you can come again. ”

The two soon came to the courtyard behind and woke up Liang Zhengrong, who was sleeping peacefully.

And he, as Guan Zhenduo said, was surprised when he saw Sun Ning coming, and his eyes were a little red: "Your Majesty, you finally remembered that there are still our Ruzhou subjects, and they are back." As he spoke, he bowed solemnly.

It's just that he was only halfway through this ceremony, and he was quickly supported by Sun Ning: "At this time, there is no need to talk about the number of monarchs and ministers." As he spoke, he looked at the other party carefully, and his expression changed slightly, "Are you really sick?" ”

I saw that Liang Zhengrong's face was sallow, full of tiredness, I don't know if it was because he was woken up in the middle of the night, and his eyes were mostly bloodshot, and he looked like a long-term sick person.

When Sun Ning asked him like this, Liang Zhengrong smiled bitterly: "Xu is always called sick before, and the minister is indeed sick this time, and it is not light...... It is precisely because of this that Ruzhou will be taken away by those small people......" The tone was full of self-blame.

Guan Zhenduo snorted coldly beside him: "Where are you sick, it is clear that you were assassinated, but the injury has not healed." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Sun Ning suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked at Guan Zhenduo, and asked in a low voice.

The latter sighed, and then he told the truth of the matter-

"More than a year or two years ago, the Liangzhou army began to plot to seize the cities of Huainan. Your Majesty should also know that our two places are in their own ways, and there is no backbone, and once faced with an invasion by foreign enemies, it will naturally be difficult to form a decent resistance.

"So all the cities were easily taken by them in various ways, and my Ruzhou naturally could not be spared. But Liang Taishou was unwilling to be a vassal to those rebellious ministers and thieves, so he mobilized the army and people all over the city, intending to defend the city to the death, even if it was delayed, he would make those rebels pay the price!

As a result, the news leaked, and they actually sent assassins one step earlier, and suddenly assassinated the Taishou when the people were mobilized......

"If I hadn't been there at the time and rescued me in time, I'm afraid you would have lost your life at the hands of the assassins. But because of this, adults hurt their internal organs and can no longer command the overall situation. In addition, there were already those guys in the city, so I couldn't defend Ruzhou to the death, so they took it bloodlessly. ”

He said it simply, but Sun Ning could think of the danger of the situation at that time, and couldn't help but glance at Liang Zhengrong, who was smiling bitterly, with emotion: "I made you suffer." ”

"The minister is guilty, he promised His Majesty that he would be able to defend Ruzhou without losing, but it turned out to be ......" Liang Zhengrong blamed himself, and wanted to bow down to admit his mistake, and was quickly supported by Sun Ning: "The general trend is like this, how can you change it alone?"

"By the way, that's why you assassinate their commander after they enter the city, right?" In the latter sentence, Sun Ning asked Guan Zhenduo.

Guan Zhenduo nodded and admitted: "Yes, I am a martial artist, and I can't help Lord Liang except for this, so I made a move." Then after succeeding, he pretended to escape from Ruzhou, but in fact, he sneaked back secretly, just to protect him and prevent those traitors from hurting him again.

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Lord Liang has won the hearts of the people in Ruzhou, even those traitors dare not openly disadvantage him, and only dare to temporarily seize his power on the grounds that he is sick. In fact, not only the people, but also in the official yamen, there are many people who have their hearts set on Lord Liang.

"And in order to get rid of Lord Liang's henchman, those guys have also sent people to assassinate them several times, and I have sent them away one by one. Before His Majesty climbed over the wall and entered, I thought it was an assassin sent by them again, so I didn't take it seriously, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. ”
