Ouyang Lin couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.

He had already recognized this voice, it was Cheng Nan, who had just been appointed by the empress as the commander of the White Tiger Legion and was about to leave the imperial capital and go to Luoyi to take up his post.

Cheng Nan happened to stay in the palace tonight, and as soon as he heard that there was something wrong with Fengyi Palace, he immediately rode his horse and arrived, and happened to run into his sister Cheng Wen and asked him to snatch Li Bing. Cheng Nan didn't say a word, and immediately led his subordinates here.

While speaking, Cheng Nan came out of the crowd and walked into the side hall.

Ouyang Lin looked at him and said in a deep voice: "General Cheng, when you see the emperor, why don't you kneel and salute!" ”

Cheng Nan glanced at his brother-in-law first, and then smiled faintly: "The emperor has fallen into the hands of you traitors, and he has become involuntarily, so how can I bow down?" Do you kneel to you? ”

"Strong words!" Ouyang Lin helped the weak Li Bing, and said angrily: "Your Majesty was obviously murdered by the demon queen, and your life is hanging by a thread, you actually have the face of the wicked person to sue first!" Soldiers of the Golden Guard, please open your eyes and see who has your emperor been kidnapped. Who is the shameful thief?! ”

At this time, the sound of fighting outside the hall completely subsided, and it was obvious that Ouyang Lin's subordinates were already more than lucky. Standing in the main hall is either Jin Wuwei or the forbidden army under Cheng Nan.

Ouyang Lin's questioning echoed slightly in the hall, but no one answered.

The whole space was as silent as death.

Ouyang Lin's heart continued to sink, he knew that the inner court had been completely controlled by the people of the Cheng family at this time, even if Cheng Nan humiliated the emperor in such a grand manner, no one dared to stand up and defend the imperial power.

For him Ouyang Lin tonight, there may only be one ending left.

The most tragic ending.

"Cheng Nan......" Suddenly, Li Bing slowly opened his eyes and stared directly at the forbidden army standing not far away: "Go...... Call you...... Sister, come here, I'm ...... Something to tell her......"

Cheng Nan was slightly stunned, and then responded: "Your Majesty, just now the queen mother was attacked by anti-thief assassins and was frightened......

"Go—" Li Bing roared angrily with all his strength, like a wild beast.

Cheng Nan's face suddenly became a little cloudy, and after waiting for a while, he reluctantly ordered behind him: "Go and invite Niangniang to come over." ”

After a while, Cheng Wen, who was dressed in a gorgeous costume and a belt, appeared in front of everyone surrounded by all the guards.

Li Bing supported Ouyang Lin's arm with his hand, straightened his body hard, and then stared at his wife with an expression on his face, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Similarly, Cheng Wen didn't speak, just looked at Li Bing quietly.

The two looked at each other wordlessly, and even the air around them seemed to freeze, oppressive and cold.

After a long time, Li Bing coughed violently a few times, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Empress, promise me one thing." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak." Cheng Wen replied softly, and there was not the slightest wave in her tone.

"Let it go...... Let Ouyang Lin go, I will let you ...... It's up to you. Li Bing's hand tightly grasped Ouyang Lin's arm, and he couldn't help trembling: "What did he do tonight...... It's okay, it's just ...... Just do your part. ”

Cheng Wen smiled when she heard this, first glanced at Ouyang Lin with an angry face, and then said: "Your Majesty, if such villains who break into the palace and violate the ban are not severely punished, how should the concubine explain to the outside world?" ”

Li Bing also smiled, gasped and said, "With your cleverness, of course...... Of course you can find ...... Good reason. Cheng Wen, I'm alive, ...... to you There are benefits, but if you ...... I didn't promise to let it go...... Let Ouyang Lin go, I ...... I'm afraid I won't survive tonight. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, not only all the people around were taken aback, but even Queen Cheng Wen herself instantly flashed a gloom in her eyes.

If the emperor is alive, she can still act and monopolize power; But once Li Bing died, the Holy Tang Dynasty must elect a new monarch to succeed him, and no matter how it turns, it will not be her turn to be a queen with a foreign surname.

At that time, everyone in the world will immediately stand up against her, even the Forbidden Army, the White Tiger Army, and the Long Knife Army, which have just arrived.

Therefore, Li Bing's threat is very fatal to her now. Because the living emperor can be isolated in the inner court under house arrest, outsiders have nothing to say for a while. But the news of the emperor's death cannot be concealed no matter what.

Cheng Wen gritted her teeth and glared at Li Bing, and said in a deep voice: "Why did Your Majesty want your concubine to release Ouyang Lin?" Just let him go out so simply, can you rest assured? Aren't you afraid that the forbidden army will intercept him halfway? ”

Li Bing smiled sadly and coughed, "You and I ...... at the same time issued a decree, and gave him two more horses, and opened the city to release people. Ouyang Lin escaped...... After that, within three days...... Send back the code I gave him. I didn't see ...... for three days If I don't see the code, I'm ...... Eliminate yourself from this! ”

After saying this, Li Bing took a few breaths and added: "Cheng Wen, Ouyang Lin is just ...... Just a petty officer, no ...... Without me, what is he...... I can't do it, and I can't ...... Threat...... Doesn't threaten you. Let him go! Let me rest assured! ”

Cheng Wen glared at Ouyang Lin fiercely, and ordered: "Go and get the golden cloak arrow to Ouyang Lin, without the will of Your Majesty and the palace, no one can stop him!" ”

Hearing that she finally nodded in agreement, a smile appeared on Li Bing's pale face, and he turned to Ouyang Lin and said, "Come, come closer, I will tell you the code to report peace." ”

Ouyang Lin was slightly stunned, and hurriedly put his ear to Li Bing's mouth, only to hear Li Bing say four words in an extremely weak voice: "Zhenjiang Rebellion." ”

Suppress the rebellion in the town.

Ouyang Lin instantly understood what Li Bing meant: go to Li Jiangyao, use my blood book to tell him everything that happened here, and use my blood book to help him call on the world and save Shengtang!

Although Li Bing was tortured by Cheng Wen with poison to the point of dying, his mind still maintained the last trace of sobriety. Cheng Wen pretended to use the power of imperial power to manipulate the Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu legions, and she could turn her hands into clouds and rain with her hands, and disrupt the entire court, but she would never be able to control the Zhenjiang army.

This strong force, independent of the imperial court system, will be the last hope of the dynasty.

Ouyang Lin nodded solemnly: "Your Majesty, the coder remembers." Please cherish it and wait for ......."

Li Bing waved his hand lightly and interrupted his later words: "No, you don't have to read it...... I read it. I'm ashamed that I've wasted half my life and achieved nothing...... Ashamed of the ancestors and fathers, and ashamed of the ...... The people of St. Tang. Let's go, go where you're supposed to be, go! ”

After saying that, Li Bing exerted all his strength and pushed him hard, Ouyang Lin stood up and staggered out.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Nan suddenly moved two steps sideways, blocking his way.

Ouyang Lin was startled, and was about to speak, only to hear Cheng Wen next to him say coldly: "Ouyang Lin, this palace is for the sake of Your Majesty's face, and I will spare your life today." I hope you will be self-sufficient, keep your mouth shut, and go as far as you want. Otherwise, this palace will settle the old accounts with you! Do you understand? ”

Ouyang Lin smiled sadly, first looked back at the emperor Li Bing who was lying on the couch again, and then intervened at Cheng Wen: "What Niangniang said, Ouyang Lin didn't dare to forget a word, I remembered it all in my heart!" ”

With that, he pushed Cheng Nan who was in the way and walked out of the hall without looking back.

-

The turmoil in Fengyi Palace came unexpectedly and went quietly. The next day, except for a few well-informed bigwigs, the entire emperor was unaware, completely unaware of the battle in the palace the night before, which almost changed the Holy Tang Dynasty again.

The sky was bright, the city gate was opened, and the people of Gyeonggi were still bustling with each other as usual, each busy with their own camps.

At this time, outside the city gate in the east of the imperial capital, an old man and a young man walked in, looking at their dress, they should be the kind of people who go to the countryside and towns to treat people. After the two were interrogated and checked by the gatekeepers, Shi Shiran entered the imperial capital, first wandered around Suzaku Street, and then turned around and entered the Cheng'en Fang next to him.

Lao Langzhong took the little apprentice, walked around the alley in the workshop for most of the circle, and then looked around and no one paid attention, and suddenly turned over and flew into a large mansion west of Cheng'en Fang. The apprentice's skills are also excellent, and he followed the master and entered over the wall.

If this is changed to let people see it at night, they will definitely think that they are Jiangyang thieves who broke into people's houses at night.

"Master Hu, don't come unharmed."

Facing these two uninvited guests who suddenly appeared, Hu Yufei was slightly stunned at first, and then immediately recognized the other party's voice, and hurriedly got up to greet him: "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Shen, a rare guest." ”

Shen Lie, who was incarnated as a Jianghu Lang, arched his hand and said with a smile: "I know that Hu Lao didn't like me very much before, but now the situation is difficult, and I can only be cheeky to bother, hahaha." ”

Yuan Bin also saluted respectfully beside him: "Lord Hu, the humble position is Yuan Bin of the Zhenjiang Army, and I am here to say hello to you on the orders of the protector of the capital." ”

"It's easy to talk about it, go to my study to talk, it's quiet over there." Hu Yufei grabbed Shen Lie's hand and smiled helplessly: "To be honest, who can not hate you as an official in the court?" However, the old man also admires you from the bottom of his heart. Today's Shengtang, there is too much shortage of people like you, Brother Shen. ”

Shen Lie's heart was hot when he heard this, he held Hu Yufei's hand tightly, and said as he walked: "Shen has a special identity, and now that he is here, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble to you, Master Hu." ”

Hu Yufei glanced at him: "Look at what you said, is the old man a person who is afraid of trouble?" Princess Fenyang and Dong Shangshu, which of them won't trouble me? I'm too late to be happy. Alas, but when it comes to the two of them, the old man is really worried. ”

Yuan Bin was curious in the back: "What? Are the princesses and Lord Dong in trouble? ”

Hu Yufei nodded: "It's not just trouble. If you want me to think about it, I may be worried about my life at any time. Let's go to the study, and I'll tell you carefully. ”
