The Zhang brothers were stunned and cold, "General, let's go!" More than a dozen henchmen and soldiers pushed them and ran away.

At this time, the south gate of Yuanbi City, two hundred steps away, also opened violently, and the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Lin Army who were waiting behind the gate shouted and killed, the sound of horses' hooves roared, and three thousand cavalry followed behind the soldiers and rushed out, a general wearing a golden helmet, waved his sword, and shouted: "Whoever gets two heads, the bounty is a thousand taels!"

The soldiers attacking the Xuanwu Gate were even more frenzied, and the gate was finally completely pushed open, and the soldiers of the Yulin Army rushed in and killed the fleeing backs of the Zhang brothers.

Running to a long corridor, Zhonglang put Pei Kuanzhang's bow and arrow, and shot an arrow, hitting Zhang Yi's back, Zhang Yizhi screamed and fell to the ground, he grabbed Zhang Changzong and shouted: "Don't leave me!"

Zhang Changzong kicked him over, and fled to the Immortal Palace without his life, Zhang Yizhi saw a large group of soldiers killing, he screamed and closed his eyes, and a hundred soldiers rushed up, splitting Zhang Yizhi's chaotic blade, and the head was snatched away by a school captain.

Taichu Palace has completely fallen, the Yulin Army and the cavalry of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion are divided into two ways, Li Zhen led 2,000 cavalry to kill the Palace of Eternal Life, Yang Yuanyan, Li Zhan, and Wu Yanji each led 3,000 Yulin Army soldiers to kill the East Palace,

Zhang Changzong was already so frightened that he ran to the Palace of Eternal Life like crazy, he only had one thought now, the saint quickly woke up and saved his life.

In the dark, the eunuch Xia Zhong came out of the hall, "General, the Holy Lord is here!"

Zhang Changzong urgently stopped his steps and scolded: "Bastard, where is the saint?"

Xia Zhong quickly glanced at the cavalry rolling in the distance, and said hurriedly: "Here!"

He took out a scroll of holy decrees, "This is the will of God, it will save your life!"

Zhang Changzong hurriedly stepped forward to snatch the will, opened it and saw that it was a blank piece of paper, he was stunned for a moment, at this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, only to see that a dagger had been inserted into his chest, in front of him was Xia Zhong with a hideous face, Xia Zhong gritted his teeth and said: "If I don't kill you, how can I live!"

He stabbed two more knives ferociously, and the dagger was plunged into Zhang Changzong's heart, Zhang Changzong screamed, fell to the ground and died, Xia Zhong cut off Zhang Changzong's head with trembling hands, ran down the steps and shouted to the cavalry, "General, I killed Zhang Changzong! I killed Zhang Changzong!"

Dozens of cavalry rushed to the scene in an instant, surrounding Xia Zhong's regiment, Li Zhen also flew over, he looked at the head of Xia Zhong's hand, and ordered his subordinates: "Pass my order, surround the Hall of Eternal Life, no one is allowed to enter!"

He turned his horse's head and ran towards the direction of the East Palace with dozens of guards, at this time the battle between Mingdemen and Yingtianmen had ended, Wu Yizong was cut into meat sauce by the soldiers of the Yulin Army, and the rest of the guards surrendered one after another.

Zhang Li led 4,000 internal guards to occupy Chongguang Gate and Guanghua Gate to the north, trapping Princess Taiping and her henchmen in the East Palace.

Until this time, Princess Taiping didn't know what was going on, she had already heard the shouting and killing sound from the Taichu Palace, she guessed that maybe Li Zhen and the Zhang brothers had a fire, at this time her heart was cold, and she couldn't help but clench Gao Jian's hand.

At this time, tens of thousands of Yulin soldiers appeared on the walls of the surrounding palaces, which frightened the warriors of the Taiping Mansion to retreat one after another, and more than 1,000 internal security soldiers who originally supported Princess Taiping also took refuge in Zhang Li, and there were 16,700 people surrounding the Taiping warriors of less than 1,000 people.

There was a creaking sound, the Mingde Gate slowly opened, and hundreds of cavalry poured out from the palace, holding torches in their hands, illuminating the front of the Mingde Gate as if it were day, led by the general Li Zhen, Princess Taiping's head 'Buzz!', she knew that the two were finished, Princess Taiping asked in a trembling voice: "The general is here...... Greet me?"

At this time, a clear voice came from behind Li Zhen, "Imperial sister, it's Lone who is here to greet you." ”

I saw a person appear from behind Li Zhen, his appearance became more and more obvious in the firelight, Princess Taiping and all the people were stunned, no one could have imagined that Li Xian, the king of Luling, would appear here.

"Brother Huang, you ...... Didn't you escape to Buddhism?"

Li Xian smiled faintly, "If I hadn't escaped into Buddhism, how could my mother have let me go? ”

Princess Taiping took a few steps back, her face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Huang, you don't want to ...... Will you let me go?"

Li Xian sighed, "Imperial sister, you can decide for yourself!"

Princess Taiping's eyes fell on Li Zhen again, begging him to intercede for herself, but Li Zhen's eyes avoided, King Luling had waited for this day for twenty years, how could he Li Zhen intercede?

Princess Taiping was desperate, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! The winner is the king and the loser Kou, I admit it." ”

She said in a loud voice, "Brother Huang, please allow me to put on makeup." ”

Li Xian looked at her expressionlessly, without saying a word, Princess Taiping smiled miserably, and said to Gao Jian, "Gao Lang is willing to accompany me?"

Gao Jian took a deep look at Li Zhen, Li Zhen nodded silently, Gao Jian looked up to the sky and laughed: "Life is already a phase, no regrets!"

He looked at Princess Taiping affectionately, "Princess, I'll accompany you on the road." ”

The two held hands, turned around and walked towards the palace, there was silence in the east palace, no one spoke, they all waited blankly, about a quarter of an hour later, a eunuch rushed out, and said sadly: "Your Highness, the princess has gone!"

Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to Yulin General Li Zhan and said coldly: "Give Wu Yu and commit suicide, and none of their children will be left!"

After speaking, Li Xian turned around and walked towards the Taichu Palace, Li Zhen heard it clearly, and his eyes gradually became deeper

The time gradually came to the third watch, Li Xian walked out of the Hall of Eternal Life, he glanced at Li Zhen with complicated eyes, and whispered to him: "The Holy Lord let you in." ”

Li Zhen walked up the steps quickly, all the way into the ward, Wu Zetian's sickbed sat Shangguan Wan'er, holding Wu Zetian's hand, she saw Li Zhen come in, immediately stood up, and whispered: "Wan'er go wait outside." ”

She walked out quickly, and only Li Zhen and Wu Zetian on the sickbed were left in the room.

"The general is here!" Wu Zetian said in a low voice.

Li Zhen stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "Weichen see Your Majesty." ”

"I am no longer Your Majesty, but the King of Luling is. ”

Li Zhen lowered his head and didn't say a word, Wu Zetian sighed softly, "Wronged! I have been deceived by him for twenty years, and I thought he really saw through the red dust." ”

She glanced at Li Zhen and said with a smile: "Actually, I know that you joined the Xingtang Society, and I already know your true identity, it was the first emperor who told me that King Luo Bin fled to Dunhuang, and I knew that he was looking for you." ”

Li Zhen was shocked, and her heart was in chaos, in fact, she had known for a long time, but she didn't kill herself.

"Do you know why I didn't kill you?"

"Weichen doesn't know!"

"Because I know that there will be today, either Dan'er or Xian'er, if the world is in chaos, as long as you are there, you will be the mainstay of Datang, you will not let Datang go to turmoil, this is the meaning of your existence. ”

"Wechen has disappointed His Majesty. ”

Wu Zetian smiled again, "Prince Bahana should come to ask for help, go! Let me rest." ”

Li Zhen kowtowed and slowly retreated, he glanced at Shangguan Wan'er and stretched out his hand to her, but Shangguan Wan'er shook his head and turned around and walked into the ward.

Li Zhen looked at the heavy night sky in the distance, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, at this time, the melodious Tai Chi bell on the top of the Ming Hall rang, and the bell spread throughout the city, which was the bell to notify the hundred officials to urgently go to court

At this time, Zhang Cambodia unexpectedly found that Li Zhen was not in the main hall.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"

With the shouts of the guards outside the palace, three thousand soldiers with armor and feather forest army escorted Li Xian, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, to the Mingtang hall, he wore a crown to the sky, dressed in the robes of the Nine Dragons, his face was like a crown of jade, and he walked up to the hall quickly, sitting high on the dragon seat.

"Ministers, see His Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor, long live!"
