December 20 is an auspicious day for the zodiac.

The weather is also really good today, the sun is shining, the weather is clear, and the wind carries the fragrance of flowers.

Shendu Luoyang, on top of a small restaurant, two people are sitting on both sides of a square table, and there are diners drinking in front and back, but these two people are magnificent.

Although the man in gray was wearing a set of children's clothes, his eyes were still shining. The yellow-shirted young man on the opposite side is also looking forward to the wind between his eyebrows, and he is extremely handsome.

Two people, two swords, the young man in the yellow shirt had a narrow and narrow sword at his waist, but the man in gray was carrying an ordinary steel long sword, and there was a huge wine gourd hanging on the sword.

These two are Luo Bing and Mei Changqing.

There were eight pots of wine on the table, a plate of peanuts, a small plate of beef, a large plate of pig's head meat, a stack of tofu fire recipes, and one person carried a pot and drank it by himself.

When the eight pots on the table were empty, Mei Changqing asked, "Empress Wei and the Heavenly Demon both want me to help them, who should we help?"

Luo Bing smiled and said, "Can't we help other people?" Empress Wei does not have a million soldiers in her chest, but she wants to learn from the martial emperor, and she has no ability to conquest and kill, so she is not a good emperor no matter how you look at it. The crown prince was born in the military, and he has today's strength, all because of his own ability and prestige, as well as the support of Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and other military leaders. If Empress Wei is really allowed to ascend the throne, it will definitely be a disaster. ”

Mei Changqing said: "You mean, we will temporarily give up our previous suspicions and go to help the Heavenly Demon?"

Luo Bing nodded and said: "Not only to help the Heavenly Demon, but also to help the prince and the Tang Dynasty! The prince also sent me an invitation letter, promising that after helping him succeed, he will definitely be rewarded." We people in the rivers and lakes are not suitable for party struggle, I want to use the power of the prince to weaken the heavenly demons, firstly, at a critical moment, the chance of victory is greater, and secondly, I can also borrow the hands of the prince to consume the strength of the heavenly demons. ”

Mei Changqing laughed and said, "Brother Luo thought about it carefully, and it was really insidious and vicious. It's just that Queen Wei has invited too many good players this time!"

At this moment, there were suddenly two sounds of "wadling, wading" in the distance, and only the husband used this kind of broken gong to strike the sound of the watch, which seemed to be very far away, and seemed to be in the ears, and the internal strength of the person who played the watch was really scary.

Hearing this voice, Luo Bing and Mei Changqing's faces seemed to change a little, Mei Changqing's white face turned red, and Luo Bing's red face turned blue.

Mei Changqing frowned and said, "Is this the sound of a watch?"

Luo Bing said: "Yes." ”

Mei Changqing said: "I think I heard it wrong?"

Luo Bing smiled and said, "You're right. ”

Mei Changqing said: "It's still daylight, this person is fighting, are there many people who want to kill?"

Luo Bing said: "When he wants to fight, he can play whenever he wants, and he can kill almost whoever he wants." ”

Mei Changqing said: "Isn't it rumored in the rivers and lakes that the "life-killing husband" is already dead?

Luo Bing said: "I don't know if he dies or not, but he plays more differently from others, others use a bang, but he uses a broken gong." ”

Mei Changqing said: "He used a broken gong to beat the guard, presumably it was a life-saving change? No one else dares to use a broken gong?"

Luo Bing said in a loud voice: "It's almost noon now, presumably it's the afternoon soul slashing change." ”

Mei Changqing said: "Soul slashing in the afternoon?"

Luo Bing said with a smile: "As long as he has hit three times, someone will definitely break his soul." ”

He also had a strange expression on his face: "There should be nothing for the life-killing man, and there will be nothing for a dozen and three watchmen." ”

Fortunately, there were only two gongs, followed by the jingling of walking.

Although it is just a very ordinary walking sound, it has become indescribably strange to human ears.

Mei Changqing and Luo Bing both muttered, I don't know how many masters the queen has collected this time.

A middle-aged man with a slight beard on his face and a rather majestic man walked through a peach blossom forest in the garden with a few brocade clothes and walked a winding path to a majestic courtyard planted with green bamboo.

There is still a room of people sitting in the majestic courtyard, all of them sitting there respectfully, like a group of regular children sitting in the school hall waiting for the end of school, of course they are not children, and they are not regular.

The middle-aged man of Weisu had seen them, and he had seen each of them - these people had to walk behind Jin Wuwei for half an hour every morning, and no one had dared to be absent once since Deng Kun was thrown into the ice river by "Mighty King Kong Palm", but from today onwards, they didn't have to go anymore.

- You're the only one today?

- Everyone else has their own business today.

It turns out that this is their own business, and it is their business to wait for death willingly.

The middle-aged man with a slight beard looked at them, suddenly smiled, and said: "Although sitting is more comfortable than walking, but the belly will soon sit protruding, and the belly is too big, which may not be a blessing, no matter what, you have to exercise more." ”

The wind blows the bamboo leaves, like listening to the waves, and the laughter and laughter of the people outside have not been transmitted here.

The middle-aged man closed his eyes and took a slight rest.

There are five flat rooms in this majestic courtyard, three bright and two dark, which is the place where the owner of this place meditates and reads.

A brocade-clad Jin Wuwei knelt on one knee: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, now everyone is ready, just waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to pray in person."

The one who smiled and sighed must be the crown prince Li Dan.

Some people seem to have a smile on their faces forever, and the prince is such a person, he is a well-groomed and graceful person, and his smile makes him seem more gentle and kind.

The prince nodded thoughtfully, and prayed silently with his hands for a while.

Large dark clouds drifted over, obscuring the bright sun, and the whole sky was gray.

The wind and rain are coming, and the building is full of wind, and it seems that the sky is about to change.

Many of the guards looked at the sky worriedly, and it was easy for the rain to be depressed and something happening.

The Commander had just made a round, and he was very pleased with everyone's performance.

It's going to be a ceremony to sacrifice to the heavens soon, and it's not easy for the soldiers defending the city. However, thinking that they would soon get a good military salary, pour two bowls of yellow soup, and then find a girl they like to spend the night, all the officers and soldiers were still in good spirits.

In the evening, the faint sunlight was shining on the northwest corner of Luoyang City, the capital of the gods.

Although there is a colorful evening sun, this place is also dark and stale, and those who have not been here would never have imagined that there would be such a dark and humble corner in the majestic and magnificent Forbidden City.

Beneath the walls of the magnificent city of the Divine Capital were poor and shabby huts made of planks and adobe bricks, and the streets were narrow and dirty, lined with a small rice shop blackened by oil smoke, a noisy little teahouse like a chicken's nest, and a small grocery store full of crushed rice and oil and salt.

The wind was filled with the stench of smoke, wine, salted fish and moldy tofu, and all sorts of strange smells that I couldn't even describe, mixed with the smell of shavings oil on a woman's head, fried pork ribs, and stewed dog meat, and it was mixed into an indescribable, unimaginable taste.

This place is full of people, bustling but quiet, and the sound of every transaction is not loud.

There are also many Jin Wuwei and forbidden troops coming out here, and they come here to release and relax more.

It's late at night and most people are a little tired. Anyway, it was about to change shifts, and someone simply leaned against the corner and squinted their eyes.

"Knock knock" footsteps sounded, and everyone was awakened.

It's time for a shift change. Listening to the footsteps, there are a lot of people coming. Isn't it just a night shift, what are so many people doing here? Someone muttered in his heart.

The soldiers here, of course, are all trained warriors.

Although their martial arts are not high, they are hard and strong, the sword is fast and the axe is sharp, and the deployment of the art of war, no matter what kind of martial arts master meets them, they may not be sure that they can deal with it.

What's more, in addition to the well-trained army, there must be many good hands among Ouchi's guards.

Everyone began to unfasten their armor and lay down their weapons, and the entire city wall was filled with yawns and clanging weapons hitting the ground.

Just as the people behind were still stretching their waists and exhaling for a long time, suddenly, there was a cry of surprise and angry roar from the front, and the city wall was in chaos.

"Murdered!"

"Are you crazy?"

"Help!"

The officers and men of the city wall guards, who were originally quite neat, suddenly became chaotic! Before everyone could recover their senses, they suddenly saw in the distance, the soldiers who were preparing to change shifts, and the whole team came in unison!

The heavily armed and murderous enemy, like a viper, bared its fangs, and suddenly drew his longsword, which had been polished, and slashed at the unprepared guarding army!

As soon as the two parties came into contact, the guards of the city wall who were caught off guard suddenly collapsed!

Although the difference in numbers between the two sides is not large, the city wall guards, who are mentally calculated and unintentional, exhausted and have lost their armor, face the enemy who does not know where to come, and in the blink of an eye, they become corpses all over the ground.

Skulls rolled to the ground, and bright red blood stained the cyan stone slabs of the city walls.

The enemy slaughtered frantically, and on the other hand, they quickly took over the defense of the city, and a large number of archers guarded the wall, and even logs, boulders, iron thorns, and other sharp weapons to defend the city began to be placed.

Since the defense of Luoyang that year, the area around Luoyang has been very peaceful, and these defensive measures have naturally been put aside. But these people seem to have been rigorously trained and redeployed very quickly.

The corpses on the ground were very quickly dragged under the city for burial.

Everything is in order...... The plan was already seamless!

The two dead wind lamps outside the door of the Internal Affairs Office are peeping at you like two ghost eyes.

Feng Jiuyou succeeded this time, and the loss was not great, and he proudly returned to the Internal Affairs Mansion with Princess An Le.

Princess An Le was blindfolded with a black cloth, and even if she tried her best to think about it, she would probably not think that she was in the Internal Affairs Office. Bao Ziyun didn't relent, and honestly and unceremoniously locked her in the dungeon.

Feng Jiuyou smiled and showed the Heavenly Demon his trophies: a large number of arrows, spears, weapons, and some armor. There's no reason for the princess to carry a mobile armory with her, so why ask?

Feng Jiu smiled and said, "Empress Wei is suddenly missing such a batch of weapons, and when the time comes, I am afraid that many people will have to go into battle with flat poles." ”

The Heavenly Demon had a calm face and asked, "You have captured so much, are there any masters in the princess's entourage?"

Feng Jiuyou shook his head and said, "That's all." The princess and her entourage are just a big sedan chair and a carriage, and they can carry so many things, which is the limit. As for the masters, there is no need to come in with Princess An Le at all, just be alone during the day. ”

The Heavenly Demon's face changed greatly, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not good! We've been tricked! Quick, everyone prepare their weapons and approach the palace!"

Emperor Suzong was already asleep, but the panicked voice of a little eunuch woke him up from his dream: "Long live the Lord, the empress asks to see!"

Su Zongzheng was sleeping in a daze, and when he heard this, he said angrily: "I am sleeping! Let the queen go back, and I will talk about it tomorrow!"

"Bang!" the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall was kicked open by the people led by the queen.

"Your Majesty, it's too late tomorrow, so let's make it clear tonight. ”

Su Zong woke up suddenly, and saw that the few people brought by the queen were all wearing long swords, and walked in proudly, followed by more than a dozen people, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Wei Liniang, are you going to rebel?"

Empress Wei didn't speak, and the person who followed behind her shook his hand and suddenly pulled out his long sword!

Su Zong trembled with fright and shouted, "Someone!

The voice was heard far away, but no one was ordered to come at all.

The queen took the long sword of the man in black behind her, pointed the long sword in her hand at Su Zong, and sneered: "Your Majesty, do you see that my sword is sharp?"

Su Zong was completely conscious, but his face did not change and his heart did not beat, he shouted in a low voice, and shouted, "Someone!" but there was still no response.

The queen pointed to a few people behind her and said loudly: "Your Majesty, my people are much more useful than Bao Ziyun?"

Su Zong was extremely angry at this time, he had lived on the battlefield for a long time, how could he be afraid of the rebellion of Anshi, and said in a low voice: "It's useful, so what......"

The queen was full of emotion at this time, and shouted: "Then why do you favor Bao Ziyun, let the eunuchs be in power, I love the emperor, but the throne is not passed on to the mourning family?"

Su Zong said with a calm face: "My Tang Dynasty is precisely because of the internal and external indistinguishable grass that has led to the second major change, before Wu Caokong changed the name of the country to the throne for 30 years, and then An Lushan and Shi Siming rebelled with grace, now do you also want to learn? As for Bao Ziyun, he is just a balanced chess piece, and tomorrow the court will dismiss Bao Ziyun and investigate it." ”

The queen took the long sword and said coldly by candlelight: "Now your life and death are in my hands, I don't know if your eldest son is useful, or what kind of bun cloud is useful?"

Su Zong just said coldly: "I have already announced to the world that I am the crown prince, and now you want me to change my words, how can I win the trust of the world!"

"Today, I have to get an answer, just today! It's now!" The queen stood tall, and Empress Wei's beautiful face was actually full of murderous aura, and her sharp sword was pointed at Su Zong, with an undisguised murderous intent on her face!

There was a soft "pop", and the wall of the back hall of the Heart Cultivation Hall actually opened.

The main hall is brightly lit, and although the hall looks majestic and majestic from the outside, it looks like a tomb to the people inside.

The December evening breeze was supposed to be cool and cold, but here it was filled with an indescribable stench,

It seems that someone in the far corner is already out of control.

Su Zong had even felt the sensation of a cold blade entering his throat.

The open walls split to the sides.

Another person appeared under the light.

A very thin and tall young man, perhaps not young, was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, but the corners of his eyes were already wrinkled.

Although the light is brighter than the moonlight, people still seem to be standing in the clouds.

Su Zong still lay down and looked at the queen lightly, looking at these people, only when he saw this person Su Zong had a smile.

Empress Wei's face also changed, becoming extremely terrifying.

Although this person is dressed plainly and has a thin body, he has an indescribable sharpness.

Empress Wei took a step back, pointed forward with her sword, and swung it sideways.

As soon as this gesture was completed, several figures behind him were divided, and four people flashed out.

These four people are less than five feet tall, and their figures, appearances, clothes, and decorations are exactly the same.

Even the swords in their hands were exactly the same.

The one-foot-seven-inch long sword, the blue light flashed, the cold was pressing, and the four of them actually used all the double swords, and the eight swords flashed in the air, like a sky full of stars and rain, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

However, even if you can't open your eyes, you should be able to recognize these four people - the Peng brothers of the "Five Tigers Soul Breaking Sword" of the Peng family in Jiangnan.

This brother was originally five people, born of one child, although he was not tall, but the four brothers, the same heart, was killed by Nan Jiyun fifteen years ago, only four brothers remained, the four brothers joined forces, cast their family heirloom Five Tiger Soul Breaking Sword, in all the sword formations under the world, although they can't rank first, there are not many people who can break their array.

Not only are their swordsmanship weird, but their temperament is even more withdrawn, they can't imagine that they were placed in the inner hall and became the queen's personal guard, no wonder the voice of the Peng family of the five tigers can no longer be heard on the rivers and lakes.

The sword light shone the emperor's face.

The sword light flowed, and the stars flickered, and it immediately enveloped Su Zong, who was lying on the dragon collapse.

"Chop" A voice seemed to come out of the mouth of the coarsely clothed man who had just come in, and suddenly, a sword light flew obliquely, like a shocking lightning, like a rainbow passing through the sky.

The sword light was staggered, and suddenly there were four sounds of "ding, ding, ding, ding", sparks splashed everywhere, and the sword light in the sky suddenly disappeared.

The only thing left with light was a sword.

An ordinary long sword.

This sword is certainly not the sword of the Five Tiger Soul Breaking Sword brothers.

The people of the Peng brothers have all fallen.

This sword is in the hand of a coarse gray cloth, rough clothes, pale face, resolute eyes, arrogant, even more pressing than the sword qi.

"Lu Aiqing, you came very well." It turned out that this man was a long wind.

The queen's face sank: "Lu Changfeng, just you, can you change the overall situation? It's just a few more people sent to death." ”

Lu Changfeng bowed and saluted, and said, "Meet the queen, it's not appropriate for you to make such a rebellious move." ”

The queen looked at him alone, and her heart was already shivering.

The gate of Luoyang has been guarded by his people, although the Praetorian Guard has 200,000, but it lacks siege weapons, and it is very unlikely that they want to enter Luoyang in a short time. Although the other party has masters, he also has a person who has pressed the formation, and there are thousands of royal forest troops outside, and there will be no loss in this battle.

Su Zong was still unhurried, and couldn't help asking: "Wei Liniang, I have always treated you well, why do you have to take this throne? I don't know, what's so good about the throne, let you carefully arrange it to assassinate your husband!"

The queen raised her left hand, shook it in the air, and said in a loud voice: "Power! You are groggy all day long, ignoring the government and politics, pampering the milky prince and the stupid and ignorant Bao Ziyun, you are not worthy of being the emperor at all! Today, I just want you to abdicate!"

She raised her hand, and several people behind her immediately shouted: "I want you to abdicate!"

Lu Changfeng took a step forward and said coldly: "The Holy One does not need the queen's accusation to act! The queen, if you betray the Holy One, it is a sin! An unforgivable sin! If you can put down the butcher's knife, you can be forgiven."

Empress Wei also knew that today's matter could not be postponed, and looked at the few people behind her, none of whom were Lu Changfeng's opponents.
