In the early morning of the next day, the civil and military officials of Luozhou City, as well as the people of the city, were lined up on both sides of the road, looking at the open north gate of Luozhou City.

Although this pomp is the will of the Son of Heaven, it can make everyone in Luozhou City willingly come out of the city, which cannot be done by the Son of Heaven alone.

In the Great Wei Dynasty, the only one who can discharge such a battle is the king of Pingyang, Zhu Rongsheng, who is the general of the Tianzhu State and the position of Shang Shuling!

If it were someone else, even if the Son of Heaven issued eighteen edicts, it would be impossible for everyone in the city to be so neat, and the whole city would come out!

Speaking of Zhu Rongsheng, it can be said that everyone knows it in the territory of Great Wei. This person's life is full of military exploits, starting from the chief of Hubu, to raising troops to attack Yanzhou, the strength of the army makes the imperial court uncontrollable!

After that, he led the troops all the way south, broke the national capital, killed the demons, slaughtered all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and by the way, he set up Bai Zijiu as the emperor, and became a loyal minister in the hearts of the people!

It's just that the name of this loyal minister is not like that in the hearts of the officials of the government and the opposition.

Sitting firmly in the name of loyal ministers and doing that "Zen concession" thing, which was a common thing in the past dynasties, they did not believe that this Tianzhu Congress would not be profitable.

In troubled times, how can there be loyal ministers, either heroes or bears, it is obvious that Zhu Rongsheng of Tianzhu Country is not the latter.

And today, since welcoming the new emperor, Zhu Rongsheng, who has never been out of the fiefdom, suddenly came to Luozhou in person!

When he said this to the people, he added a glorious image of a loving father to the Tianzhu Kingdom, but when he heard it with the hundred officials, no one believed it!

The dignified Tianzhu Kingdom and the King of Pingyang, how could he come here just because he missed his daughter?

In addition, the emperor personally ordered to make this ten-mile-long sandwich wait. Such a disregard for the flattering behavior of the face made the ministers smell a hint of the sky.

————

I don't know how long later, on the official road outside the north gate, a team of cavalry rushed to appear.

The black-armored general led by him, although his sideburns were all white, he didn't show any old age at all, and the soldiers behind him were also full of murderous aura, which made people look a little frightened.

In particular, the sound of neat horses' hooves and the dust flying behind them are even more overwhelming!

In the blink of an eye, the mighty thousands of people holding the "Zhu" character Wang Banner have already arrived at the north gate, and there is no sign of slowing down, and they continue to gallop quickly on the main road in the city!

And the crowd in the middle of the road didn't care about the dust raised by the horses' hooves in front of them, and continued to maintain a welcoming posture, shouting in unison over and over again: "Welcome to the Tianzhu General!"

For some reason, after they shouted, the dust in the air was noticeably less, and even the vision on the road was much clearer.

The black-armored old man at the head listened to this shout, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. Obviously, this neat and continuous greeting made him very useful.

This is the result of his winning the hearts and minds of the people.

In the past two years, he has used forbearance to secure the name of loyal ministers, while Emperor Bai Zijiu has not learned and failed to learn for two years, and he has complained!

In this way, the "Zen concession" will also conform to the will of the people, and it will come naturally.

————

The men and horses who did not slow down came all the way to the palace gate, and then only the thirty horsemen led by them went straight to the main hall. The others waited outside the palace gates, scattered, and surrounded the palace.

And the thirty horsemen who entered the palace gate still did not slow down, and the heavy palace gates that passed during the period were all open to greet them, without any obstruction.

The forbidden land of the deep palace can allow courtiers to run on horses quickly, which is a strange news in any dynasty and generation. What's more, in front of the temple at this time, there is a standing Son of Heaven waiting for him!

"Phew!" Zhu Rongsheng, who was dressed in black armor, stopped his war horse, turned over, and rubbed the handle of the war knife with his scarred right hand at will, and walked to Bai Zijiu's side disapprovingly, standing side by side with him.

Zhu Rongsheng neither saluted nor looked at Bai Zijiu, but looked down at the war knife in his hand, and then said slowly: "Can the edict be written?"

"I have already written, just waiting for the Heavenly Pillar Kingdom to come" Bai Zijiu did not look at Zhu Rongsheng, but looked into the distance and said slowly.

At this time, Yuan Qiongjing, a subordinate general who followed Zhu Rongsheng, snorted coldly and reprimanded: "Why do you still call yourself me, is it possible that you have other thoughts?"

Bai Zijiu didn't say anything when he heard this big rebellious remark, but just withdrew his gaze into the distance and looked at Yuan Qiongjing in front of him with a smile.

"Oh, it seems that you are a little reluctant to give up the position of the Son of Heaven. Zhu Rongsheng narrowed his eyes, broke the silence, and then glanced sideways at the emperor next to him.

"Yes and no" Bai Zijiu also tilted his head slightly, and looked at Zhu Rongsheng. After that, he smiled and said, "Because before that, there are some truths that still have to be followed." ”

The corners of Zhu Rongsheng's mouth showed contempt, and he said disapprerovingly: "Oh? ”

"On that day, Sister took advantage of the Empress Dowager Ling's disaster to the country, and put forward the eight words 'the son and mother are dead, and the eldest sister is like a mother', so that Tianzhu Kingdom can not only kill her to remove my wings, but also enjoy the name of this loyal minister who removes 'harm' for the country...... It's just that there is a premise for all this, that is, after Zen, the Tianzhu Kingdom must be safe. ”

After speaking, Bai Zijiu smiled on his face, quietly looked at Zhu Rongsheng on his side, and his heroic eyes were very deep, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

That makes sense. It's just that this is not Lone's truth, in Lonely, the premise of this deal is not to protect your life......" Zhu Rongsheng glanced meaningfully at Bai Zijiu, who was smiling and did not respond, and then continued: "It is to ensure that Lone will be given Zen concession in the name of a loyal minister, so let's hold the ceremony of Zen Concession first, and then talk about other things." ”

After speaking, he walked into the main hall first, and the young Son of Heaven could only follow behind.

The minister is in front, the king is in the back, and the two of them have their own looks on their faces, in short, it's not the smile they had before.

Speaking of the last time the two met, it was two years ago.

At that time, Zhu Rongsheng, who welcomed the new emperor, was a little hesitant, worried that Bai Ziyu, the talented and brilliant Shouyu County Lord, would help the young Bai Zijiu sit on the throne, then there would be nothing to do with Zhu Rongsheng, so he moved to kill!

It's just that if he really kills the new emperor Bai Zijiu, he will definitely be recognized by all the people as the chaotic minister and thief, and Zhu Rongsheng, who has a great reputation in his life, is a little irritable.

And just when Zhu Rongsheng was irritable, the lord of Shouyu County took Emperor Bai Zijiu, and only two of them came to his celebration banquet. went straight to the point and said the words 'the son and mother are dead, and the eldest sister is like a mother'.

You must know that the subjects of the Great Wei who had just experienced the troubles of the Empress Dowager Ling were extremely jealous of the emperor's mother.

If you kill the lord of Shouyu on this pretext, not only will you not be recognized as a rebellious minister and thief, but you can also get rid of the young emperor's wings to avoid worries, and you can also get the name of a loyal minister who is dedicated to the country!

After that, Zhu Rongsheng only needs to return to the fiefdom to play a loyal minister for a period of time, and the young emperor Bai Zijiu is responsible for losing his reputation and doing all the things that are immoral.

At that time, Zhu Rongsheng can find a way to enter the palace, and be 'forced' to take over the Son of Heaven and sit on the coveted position of the Son of Heaven!

This kind of plan is in Zhu Rongsheng's arms, and even if Bai Zijiu temporarily changes his mind and works hard in the palace, then he can immediately wave his army south to snatch the throne.

In short, it is good and harmless!

At this time, the two of them had already entered the main hall one after the other, and Zhu Rongsheng took the lead in stopping, looked back at Bai Zijiu condescendingly and said, "When did you inform the hundred officials to enter the palace?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, don't you want to see how this edict is written first?" Bai Zijiu didn't wait for Zhu Rongsheng to respond after speaking, and walked towards the Son of Heaven with a smile.

I saw Bai Zijiu standing on the throne of the Son of Heaven, took out an edict from the table full of dragon patterns, spread his hands and put them in front of him, raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Rongsheng, and slowly recited: "When the sky is good, by the order of Zi Ming, Emperor Bai Zijiu of Wei Xiaozhuang 'has no merit and no virtue, and has a negative impact on the people', and Zhu Rongsheng of the Tianzhu Kingdom has worked hard and has made great achievements, and he should be ......."

Thinking of this, Bai Zijiu suddenly changed his words, raised his eyes to look directly at Zhu Rongsheng, and said in a cold tone: "There is no forgiveness for killing!"

As soon as the words fell, in the side halls on both sides of the main hall, the seventeen dead men pushed the door out and rushed to Zhu Rongsheng!

The first of the dead soldiers, holding a long sword in his hand, was even closer to Zhu Rongsheng within three feet, and he saw that the assassination could be completed.

At this time, Yuan Qiongjing, who was behind Zhu Rongsheng, made a move, only to see him stretch out his right hand, and then put his fingers together, and the long sword that flickered with cold light was not close.

"Just you?" Yuan Qiongjing's tone was disdainful, and then he spun the blade of the sword between his fingers, the sword body was broken, and the sleeve of the right arm of the first dead soldier was shattered, and he spun and flew out upside down without knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Zhu Rongsheng had already come back to his senses at this time, although an assassination was unexpected, but he was a general who had experienced a hundred battles, how could he sit still and wait to be killed! In the face of the crowd that came to kill, he drew his sword and rushed straight to the position of the Son of Heaven, wanting to kill Bai Zijiu on the top of the main hall!

"Bai family child!

Zhu Rongsheng shouted and stepped out in one step! His sideburns were already gray, and his skills were not ambiguous at all, and in just one step, he jumped in front of the case, and slashed at Bai Zijiu with a side slashing knife.

"Dang!"

Just as Zhu Rongsheng's blade was about to touch Bai Zijiu, a faded red umbrella was inserted horizontally, and the falling blade was forcibly stopped. A man in white came out of nowhere, only to see him hold the handle of the umbrella, and with a flick of it, a single-edged sword full of rust came out of the umbrella and slashed at Zhu Rongsheng's neck!

Yuan Qiongjing, who was under the steps of the Son of Heaven, rushed up the moment the red umbrella appeared, and when the single-edged sword slashed Zhu Rongsheng, he pulled Zhu Rongsheng and flew back to the bottom of the steps.

On the chessboard, the soldiers go first, crossing the river and not knowing the way back. At this time, on the top of the main hall, the dead soldiers who had gone straight to Zhu Rongsheng before were like soldiers, and they had been blocked by those cronies and entourage, fighting each other, and moving forward.

And under the steps and the Son of Heaven on the throne two by two, like the opposite of the car, there is no pair of words, but you live and die!

Zhu Rongsheng, who had just walked before the ghost gate, touched the blood oozing from his neck, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the man in white and said, "Remember you, you are Wang Yibo, the husband of the lord of Shouyu, aren't you martyred?"

"Wang Yibo is dead, and now my name is Wang Chuqi!" said the man in white who called himself Wang Chuqi's eyes were slightly gloomy and his face was cold.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that the talented man of the Southern Dynasty who was famous in Xunyang back then was actually a swordsman! Hiding very deeply..."Zhu Rongsheng glanced at Bai Zijiu, who was expressionless, and continued: "This is what you relied on to assassinate Lone?"

Bai Zijiu smiled slightly: "Otherwise?"

"Heh, presumably at this time, the eyeliner in the lonely palace has notified more than a thousand iron horsemen outside the palace, and your assassination will definitely fail!" Zhu Rongsheng snorted coldly, his words full of disdain.

But Bai Zijiu, who heard this, did not panic at all.

He took off the crown of the Son of Heaven, took off the robe of the Son of Heaven, threw it on the ground casually, and said slowly: "Qin Huan and Yuwentai's men and horses have entered Luozhou City yesterday, and they must be fighting fiercely with your 1,000 men and horses outside the palace at this time." ”

"You!" Zhu Rongsheng opened his eyes wide, and an angry look appeared on his face, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "What a praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches are behind! But don't forget, you are the cicada!"

Bai Zijiu smiled and said: "What's the matter, as long as it can make you die, it's enough! Besides, who can say whether the yellow finches outside the city are killing cicadas or protecting cicadas?"

Zhu Rongsheng said in a low voice: "Have you ever thought about it, if Lone is dead, and the millions of soldiers and horses in Pingyang will go south to Luozhou, you will not be able to sit still as the Son of Heaven!"

Hearing this, Bai Zijiu seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and actually laughed to himself, and then shook his head and said: "Zhu Rongsheng! You should be like you?

As soon as the words fell, Wang Chuqi, who was dressed in white beside Bai Zijiu, had already moved, and he came up with a single-edged sword in his hand, and what he did was the ability to shrink the ground into inches, and in the blink of an eye, he stabbed a sword in front of Zhu Rongsheng.

It's just that Yuan Qiongjing, who is behind Zhu Rongsheng, is also a kendo master who is not inferior to Wang Chuqi, and at the moment when Wang Chuqi's figure disappeared, he blocked in front of Zhu Rongsheng and drew his sword to block Wang Chuqi's attack.

At this time, the situation above the main hall seemed to be a bit deadlocked, Wang Chuqi and Yuan Qiongjing, two first-class kendo masters, it was difficult to distinguish the winner in a short time.

I saw Wang Chuqi dressed in white, holding a single-edged sword at will, and a cyan sword qi flew out from the single-edged edge, gathering but not dispersing, condensing into a freehand blue bird, attacking Yuan Qiongjing.

And Yuan Qiongjing was originally a forward general who had killed countless people on the battlefield, and his swordsmanship and sword momentum were all very strong! The horizontal sword stabbed straight and straight, blocking Wang Chuqi's offensive.

Then the two of them tossed and turned on the main hall, and their figures were difficult to distinguish.

If there are other first-class masters, they will see the clues.

Wang Chuqi is like a spiritual snake, constantly changing directions, and the fierce Yuan Qiongjing is instantaneous! I don't know if I am afraid, or if I have other thoughts......

"Zen well, why bother?" Zhu Rongsheng looked at the battle situation of the two first-class masters, and said leisurely. Then, he retracted his gaze and squinted at Bai Zijiu.

At this time, Bai Zijiu was still looking at the fight between Wang Chuqi and Yuan Qiongjing blankly, and his right hand was slightly raised at his side, as if he had forgotten to put it down, which made people feel funny.

And this kind of gaffe in the face of life and death, Zhu Rongsheng has seen too much. He sneered, then struck the ground with his heavy sword, and walked towards the position of the Son of Heaven step by step.

One step, two steps, three steps, Zhu Rongsheng walked through the steps and placed it in front of the case again, opposite Bai Zijiu.

The wrath of the horseman splashed blood in five steps, and the son of heaven was killed in front of the palace, which was at this time.

Zhu Rongsheng didn't say much, and his long-term experience told him that those who talk too much will die.

At this time, the sound of the knife hitting the ground suddenly stopped, and Zhu Rongsheng raised his right hand......

However, at the moment when the blade was about to be chopped, Wang Chuqi appeared three zhang away behind Zhu Rongsheng, connecting with Bai Zijiu and Zhu Rongsheng on the throne of the Son of Heaven.

And at this moment of connecting the lines, the red umbrella that was originally made as a sheath was suddenly thrown out by Wang Chuqi and flew towards Zhu Rongsheng's heart.

Zhu Rongsheng failed to succeed in the previous attack, and this time he has been wary of Wang Chuqi.

With the attack of the red umbrella, he had already put away his knife momentum, turned around to resist Wang Chuqi's surprise attack, and the flying red umbrella was slashed to the ground by Zhu Rongsheng!

For Wang Chuqi's sudden desperate bet, Yuan Qiongjing was anxious, and he had already followed closely, a sword pierced Wang Chuqi's right chest, and then pulled it out fiercely, Wang Chuqi With the momentum of drawing the sword, blood gushed out from his chest and fell to the ground.

If it weren't for Wang Chuqi throwing out the umbrella just now, he hurriedly turned around to dodge, and he would be wearing the atrium on the left side at this time!

The situation on the field has changed abruptly, Bai Zijiu's car has fallen, the soldiers are useless, and the generals are far apart, and the overall situation has been decided!

It's just that whether it is Bai Zijiu, who is already powerless, or Wang Chuqi, who is injured, or even the soldiers who are still fighting, they have not panicked!

There is a backhand in this game......

I saw that the corners of Wang Chuqi's mouth were slightly upturned, and he snorted, as if resigned to his fate, he let go of the single-edged sword in his hand.

This made Zhu Rongsheng and Yuan Qiongjing a little puzzled, although Wang Chuqi was injured at the moment, if he fought to the death, he could also fight with Yuan Qiongjing for a few moments!

"Sword return!" Bai Zijiu, who had been standing behind him, said these two words indifferently, and then his right hand, which had been raised slightly, slowly shook it!

It was too late, and the single-edged sword that was still flashing with Wang Chuqi's cyan sword qi turned into a ray of red light with lightning speed before it landed, and it quickly swirled across Zhu Rongsheng's neck and landed on Bai Zijiu's right hand.

Hold your hands tightly, sword in your hand! The wrath of the Son of Heaven can also splash blood in five steps!

"The name of the sword, born with a spirit, only recognizes one master!" Bai Zijiu slowly raised his eyes, looked at Zhu Rongsheng, who turned around with difficulty, and his neck was blood-red, and continued expressionlessly: "Its master Bai Zijiu!"

Zhu Rongsheng opened his mouth with difficulty, which was still arrogant not long ago, but he didn't make any sound, only his eyes kept pouring out of unwillingness and surprise, until he lost his life......

Bai Zijiu, who took off the robe of the Son of Heaven, was dressed in black and held a single-edged sword. The rust on the previous sword disappeared at this moment, and only a faint cold light remained on the blade!
