Chapter 159: The Ruthless Emperor

As soon as Lin Shicheng's voice fell, a dense black press suddenly rushed out around them, and the soldiers were holding long knives or bows and arrows, rubbing shoulders one after another, surrounding Lin Shicheng's pedestrians.

A person slowly walked out from the direction of the Zhanghua Palace, and the person in the yellow dragon robe walked in front of them surrounded by the inner supervisors.

"General Lin, Taifu Qin, don't come unharmed. ”

For these people who have made great contributions to the country, Mu Jingyuan is not grateful for the reward from the bottom of his heart, but sends thousands of Yulin forbidden troops to surround them, clearly wanting to kill them.

Lin Shicheng was furious, not angry with others but at himself, angry that he was blind, and wanted to be loyal to such a cold-blooded and ruthless monarch who only recognized power.

Back then, he supported Mu Jingyuan from the beginning to the end, helping Mu Jingyuan deal with all military affairs, so that he had no worries on the road to power. But the same man who once regarded him as a brother now easily listens to the slander of others and wants to kill them!

"General Lin and Qin Taifu conspired to rebel, Yulin Army, don't take them down yet!"

As soon as the Yulin army heard Mu Jingyuan's order, they set up formations one after another, preparing to annihilate Lin Shicheng and his party.

Qin Mingyue did not have the slightest fear on her face, and boldly took two steps forward, and the distance between her and Mu Jingyuan was also closer, and her eyes showed a fatherly and benevolent gaze.

"The emperor should be almost twenty-one years old! At a young age, you have to endure the pain of suffering day and night in the center of power, which is really painful for you. You don't have children yet, I heard that the Queen Mother has recently helped you expand the harem, and I believe you will be a father soon. ”

"Qin Mingyue, what are you talking about. Yu Lin Jun, what are you doing in a daze, do it quickly!"

Qin Mingyue's gentle, elder-like words overwhelmed the originally menacing Yulin Army, and gave the illusion that Qin Mingyue had an unusual relationship with the emperor, and if they killed him impulsively, they were afraid that they would pay the price in the future, so they just surrounded them a little forward, and did not kill them together.

"Your Majesty, although the words are contrary to the ear, you still have to listen to the good advice of the loyal ministers. Also, your queen mother is old, so you must spend more time with her when you have nothing to do. ”

"Yulin Army, do you dare to disobey the emperor's orders!"

This is the third time that Mu Jingyuan has urged them to do it, and they know the truth again and again, if they still stop moving forward, I am afraid that the next people who will become unjust souls under the sword and arrow will be these Yulin Army.

Surrounded by thousands of Yulin troops, Lin Shicheng had nowhere to escape for dozens of officers, unless the emperor suddenly found out and exonerated them from death, otherwise, they had only one way to die.

Sure enough, they were all soldiers led by Lin Shicheng, and at the moment when the Yulin Army's bow and arrows were loaded and the long knife was unsheathed, they, the generals who swore to follow Lin Shicheng, still surrounded Lin Shicheng and Qin Mingyue tightly behind them, resisting the attack of the Yulin Army with their bodies.

Wang Duo was originally Mu Xize's subordinate, but he was only sent to Lin Shicheng by Mu Jingyuan after Mu Xize handed over his military power, but in half a year, he has become a confidant general who can live and die for Lin Shicheng.

However, this person, who obviously had a chance to become a future general who left the country, was standing in front of Lin Shicheng at this moment, but in the blink of an eye, he had already been hit by four or five arrows in his body, and although he still maintained a standing posture, his whole body was already stained with blood.

"Wang Duo. ”

Lin Shicheng shouted, dragging Wang Duo behind him, but at this time, a black bow and arrow shot at him, shooting at Wang Duo's heart.

"Wang Duo, Wang Duo!"

Wang Duo's body gradually lost its support, and he collapsed to the ground, his eyes widened, as if he was unwilling and reluctant, but he could no longer say anything superfluous.

Killing is an art, and if it is certain that the person who is killed will die, then it is worth considering what kind of killing tools are chosen and how they are allowed to die.

Bow and arrow killing is simple and crude, but it lacks some deterrent power, is not so shocking, and cannot bring people's despair and helplessness to the extreme. Hand-to-hand combat between people is different, fists collide with fists, blood and blood are compatible, and even the sound of flesh and blood can be clearly heard when a sword pierces the body, which is really wonderful.

Seeing that the bow and arrow had already killed more than half of the people on Lin Shi City's side, Mu Jingyuan raised his hand and waved, the archers stationed in all corners withdrew one after another, and a group of Yulin troops with spears and knives in their hands rushed towards Lin Shi City.

However, Mu Jingyuan only wanted to enjoy this drama created by blood, but he didn't expect that the protagonists in this scene would be so outstanding in martial arts.

Although these Yulin troops who attacked Lin Shicheng and Qin Mingyue were wearing armor, they were still injured the moment they got close to Lin Shicheng and Qin Mingyue, and blood oozed from their arms and thighs from time to time.

Those with knives are knocked down, and there will be those with guns, and these Yulin troops will never finish fighting as if they are endless. However, Lin Shicheng, Qin Mingyue, and the few officers who still survived were no one who could be replaced, no matter how outstanding their martial arts were, and no matter how good their skills were, they would eventually run out of strength.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the dozens of people who entered the palace with Lin Shicheng were only Lin Shicheng and Qin Mingyue, and the dead bodies that were already lying in front of them were all Yulin soldiers who were less than twenty years old.

Looking at this cruel scene, Lin Shicheng suddenly didn't want to fight anymore, if he gave up resistance, would these Yulin soldiers who obeyed orders and left their hometowns be able to survive well?

It's just that he is unwilling, he is a soldier, he has already dedicated his life to the battlefield, even if he wants to die, he should be wrapped in horse leather and die on the battlefield, instead of suffering this trumped-up crime and unjustly dying.

Lin Shicheng looked at Qin Mingyue, who had always resisted desperately, and a feeling of guilt arose. This Qin Taifu, when he was fifteen years old when he just joined the army, was already a general of the Zhenguo, and he was a pivotal figure in both the court and the opposition, and a person with amazing talent like him should not be killed here.

If it weren't for saving him, in order to lift the siege of Shuozhou, he would not have become a person hated by Mu Jingyuan, let alone fall into a desperate place like today.

Thinking about it, he only felt a chill in his chest, and when he looked down, it was a sharp and blood-dripping long knife that passed through his chest, silently piercing his body when he didn't react.

The long knife was drawn, and the blood in his chest spurted ten feet away. The scene in front of him began to blur, and the Yulin Army that was coming towards him was like a series of pitch-black airtight walls overwhelming him. He tried to move his steps, but it was not his feet that moved, but his body, and he heard a muffled sound, and there was another person lying on the blood-stained bluestone platform.

He still kept his eyes open, staring at Qin Mingyue, who was fighting alone, until he swallowed his last breath.

"I didn't expect that Qin Taifu's martial arts were so strong, and there was only one person left who could still fight to the death without falling behind. Mu Jingyuan sneered, looking confident. "But you better give up, you also save effort, how about I save people?"

Originally, Mu Jingyuan was just talking, and he was so quick to speak, but he didn't expect Qin Mingyue to really withdraw his hand, and threw the long knife he snatched in his hand to the ground very frankly. Just when he was shocked, Qin Mingyue's body already had several more wounds on his body that had been cut by a long knife and pierced by a spear.

Since Qin Mingyue went to Shuozhou privately, the Queen Mother's heart has been hanging, and when she heard that he finally returned triumphantly, her heart that had been hanging for almost half a year fell to the ground slightly.

But then she was worried about her son, her son, who was stubborn, never hit the south wall and never looked back, and what he recognized, whether it was right or wrong, even nine cows couldn't pull it back.

Now, her son's temperament has changed greatly because of Mo Xiaoqin, he is cruel and tyrannical, and the people in the court are panicking. It's just that the two people he trusts the most are Xiao Qingyu and Ji Beihuan, but none of these two people have a good heart, and in the long run, he is afraid that Mu Jingyuan will incur the disaster of death.

Just when she was worried and worried, the palace maid Dongyu, who had just been promoted to serve her, ran into Guanju Palace in a panic.

"Dongyu, the mourning family sees that you are honest and responsible in doing things on weekdays, and you know how to be measured, why are you so rude today?"

Dongyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed two long sighs of relief, but there was still a lot of anxiety in his tone.

"The emperor sent thousands of Yulin troops to ambush in the Zhanghua Palace, preparing to put Qin Taifu and General Lin to death. I've heard that it's already started. ”

"You say...... What?"

As she spoke, the Queen Mother's face was already pale, and her hands that were as white as a girl trembled so much that she relied on the pillars to prevent her from falling to the ground on the spot. However, the Queen Mother was only shocked for a moment, and soon she calmed down and ran desperately towards the Zhanghua Palace.

In her memory, it seemed that only when she ran away from the turtle whiskers did she run as fast as she did now, so fast that she almost threw her heart out. Will it be too late? Will it be possible to save Mu Jingyuan's life from his men?

If she had gone away with Qin Mingyue directly back then, wouldn't it have caused the situation she has today?

Qin Mingyue, the man who had been sealed in the depths of her heart, suddenly appeared without warning, stirring up her heart that was originally as calm as water.

Women love a man with all their body and mind, but a man can't love a woman with all his body and mind, she is such a woman, and he is also such a man.

She has always loved Qin Mingyue, but Qin Mingyue has another plan to enter the palace again, but she doesn't care, what about other plans, what about deep thoughts, he is the man in her heart, he will not murder Jing Yuan, this is enough.

Outside the Zhanghua Palace, layers of corpses were lying crookedly on the bluestone platform, and there was a person kneeling in the open space next to the corpse covered in blood and with a long knife.

The man was dressed in purple, and even when he was dying, he still showed a luxury that was beyond the world. Obviously, he was killed and put to death, but why did this elder with an unearthly temperament look at him with affection? Mu Jingyuan was puzzled in his heart, but he unconsciously felt a pain in his heart, as if he had really done something very wrong.

"General Qin, General Qin!"

The Queen Mother did not shy away from suspicion at all, and directly ran and knelt beside Qin Mingyue, tears welling up.

"Yan'er, you're here. I knew you were coming. ”

As soon as the words were spoken, a large mouthful of blood gushed out of Qin Mingyue's mouth, dyeing the Queen Mother's golden Luo skirt into crimson. The Queen Mother stretched out her trembling hand, ignoring the blood, kept wiping the blood from the corner of Qin Mingyue's mouth, and kept calling Qin Mingyue's name in her mouth.

"Queen Mother!"

For the queen mother's unseemly behavior, Mu Jingyuan was first taken aback, and then thundered and angry, his eyes widened, and he wanted to kill his biological mother together.

The Queen Mother didn't seem to hear Mu Jingyuan's roar at all, and still kept wiping the blood stains on Qin Mingyue's body and stroking his cheeks, hoping to pull him back from the line of death.

"Yan'er, I'm ...... Love you. ”

This is the last sentence Qin Mingyue said to the Queen Mother, which directly and concisely expressed his consistent and deep love for her for more than 20 years.

The Queen Mother wiped away her tears, her eyes were resolute, with a hint of coolness, and she looked at Mu Jingyuan with unfamiliar eyes.

"Jingyuan, I never thought you would become what you are today. If I had known this, I wouldn't have gone to great lengths to help you ascend to the throne over the years. ”

Then, the Queen Mother suddenly sneered, and the laughter was desolate, making people's hairs stand on end. Suddenly, her smile froze, and a bewitching blood red suddenly appeared in her heart.

In the center of that blood-red piece was a blood-stained long knife, and that long knife was also connected to Qin Mingyue's body. It turned out that she continued to pierce Qin Mingyue's body with the long knife that pierced his body, and finally stabbed into her own heart without warning.

"Jingyuan, in fact, your biological father ...... Not the emperor at all, but ...... He, Qin Mingyue. ”

She looked at Mu Jingyuan, and there was no more love in her eyes, but unprecedented indifference, even resentment.

"You...... Kill ...... Yours...... Biological father. ”

"What are you talking about? You say it clearly! Mother, Mother, wake up, I won't allow you to die!"
