Chapter 196: The End of the Road, the Sky Changes

Following the orders of the commander of the Long Xiang Flying Army, the herald waved the flag above the city tower and shouted in front of the Ziyang Gate: "Return to Your Majesty, all the chaotic parties will be subdued!" When the eunuch heard this, he reported to Emperor Zhengguang with a happy face: "Your Majesty, the fine work of the Eagle Clan has been ......" "I heard it." Emperor Zhengguang's eyes were slightly closed, but his tone was extremely heavy.

"Open the violet gate. "Emperor Zhengguang gave an order, and the Imperial Forest Army opened the Ziyang Gate, which had been deformed, and the first thing that caught his eye was Yin Huo Xiaohuang of Luoyan Mansion who fell in a pool of blood and was covered with arrows. The officials had already fled from the palace, and Emperor Zhengguang led the eunuchs and the Imperial Forest Army to slowly enter the gate.

I saw that the arrows were all over the place, turning into a forest of arrows, the autumn wind was howling, the cold was abnormal, the flag was stained with blood, still fluttering, and the long Ge was obliquely inserted, gloomy and cold. The Imperial Guards who were lucky enough to save their lives under the rain of arrows were also covered in blood, embarrassed, and wounded. Sitting on the ground and leaning on the long halberd panting, seeing Emperor Zhengguang coming, he hurriedly stood up again, but he was already staggering.

"See Your Majesty. The Imperial Forest Army shouted weakly, and Emperor Zhengguang was also quite moved, looking around, and saw that the Imperial Forest Army who were killed by arrows in their bodies were all young men who were alive and well beside them, and they should have gone into battle to fight and die on the battlefield of loyalty to the country, but they didn't want to die by their own arrows by mistake now. There are also those who are regarded as arrow targets, who are the elite of the Eagle Clan, and they are also the ministers of the Jiang Dynasty, but they died tragically here, and they were pierced into a sieve one by one.

and Fan Wei, who did not fall until he died, was already covered with bruises, and he couldn't find a good piece of skin on his body. If the blood-like red sun blends with the dried dark red bloodstains, the orange-red afterglow is sprinkled on the swords, guns, swords, and halberds that glow with cold light, the autumn breeze is bleak, and at a glance, there is a sea of corpses and blood.

The iron armor is made of coffins, and the cold knives are floating and bloody. The old man leaned on the halberd sword, and the son looked at the broken bridge. The remnant sun fell on the mountain, and the wolf smoke rushed up. May the shroud be returned, but it will be a feather pin.

Emperor Zhengguang's eyes were slightly closed, and he couldn't bear to look at it again. He immediately ordered: "Spread my word that all the surviving soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army and the soldiers of the Long Xiang Fei Army who participated in the fight against the thieves this time will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver, and an extra month's food will be given." The fallen soldiers were all buried with the rites of captains, and their families were given 100 taels of silver, three months' food, and one year's tax exemption. ”

"Your Majesty, the corpse of the Eagle Clan should be ......," the eunuch asked cautiously. Emperor Zhengguang thought for a while, and actually said: "They should have been the heroes of the Chaoying Clan, or the pillars of my Da Jiang's humerus, but they were used by that mediocre lord, and finally ended up dying in a foreign country. I am ruthless and unrighteous, I am afraid that the emperor of the Eagle Clan will not die, and he still wants to try my Central Plains. Now that's all it has to say. ”

Emperor Zhengguang seemed to have made a great decision in his heart, and the eunuch asked again, "Please make it clear to Your Majesty." Immediately put their bodies in coffins and quickly transported them to the south gate of Luoyan Mansion. Hang the corpse on the city wall, so as to deter the Chaoying Clan and make them dare not attack!" Emperor Zhengguang's tone was like a thousand years of ice, which made people shudder, "In addition, I asked the Central Council to immediately send officials to temporarily take the place of these officials who were punished and killed by Ying Wu, to ensure that there will be no change." Then put back the hundred officials, and let them perform their duties, and everything will be as usual, and there will be no mistakes. ”

"Yes. The eunuch received the holy decree, and left very quickly with small steps, and after a while, someone came to clean up the corpses and bloodstains according to the holy decree, and each acted according to the decree, and made proper arrangements, and the royal forest army was also rewarded with a beard, and nothing else was said.

Let's say that the sword snowman and Chu Qing'an rode a horse together, and the carriage in the middle was loaded with Liu Yuanjun's coffin, and the carriage was driven by two guards, and the remaining forty-eight Ouchi guards each rode their horses and followed the patrol lieutenant behind the carriage. The inspector was ordered by the inspector, and this trip was not only to escort the coffin of the heroine back to his hometown, but also to secretly monitor the newly appointed General Jingjie Lang Dangkou and the county lord of Nanxiang.

Although these two people received the grace of the Holy Lord, their hearts were unpredictable, and it was very likely that they would sneak away halfway and not return to the court to take up their posts. The people of the rivers and lakes have a lot of means, and they are unknown, and the saint specially instructed them to act at the opportunity, be cautious, and if there is a situation, immediately return to the letter and submit it. Therefore, the eyes of the inspector never left the two of them.

Although Dao Xueke is blind, his heart is like a mirror, and his many senses are also much more sensitive. As Qin Wuzai said to him before: "When people's eyes can't see those things that disturb their vision, they can see more things with their hearts." His chest was close to Chu Qing'an's back, his arms gently wrapped her in his arms, and he said in his ear: "I'm afraid that the patrol captain is not staring at us for a moment." ”

"How does Brother Xue know?" Chu Qing'an glanced back very quickly, and sure enough, he met the eyes of the patrol captain, so startled that he hurriedly lowered his head. And Chu Qing'an raised his head and asked Dao Xueke. Dao Xueke smiled slightly: "Although I am blind in both eyes, the rest of my senses are much more sensitive. Do you still remember that Qin senior, although he has been blind for many years, he is not inferior to ordinary people, and even far stronger than us. Although he could not see his face, he could see his heart. ”

"I think it won't be long before I'll get used to this long period of darkness, but my heart is more open. Seeing that there was a trace of bitterness hidden in Dao Xueke's strong smile, Chu Qingan choked up and said: "Brother Xue doesn't need to worry, when I check the "Jishi Qing Bag", I will definitely be able to cure Brother Xue."

of the eyes. ”

"Haha, don't mention it. Dao Xueke knew that it was difficult to recover, and he didn't want Chu Qing'an to bother about this matter. And Chu Qing'an asked again: "Why did Brother Xue want to join the imperial court?" After so many changes, Chu Qing'an was in a big mess, and he still couldn't expect what Dao Xueke's decision was, so he couldn't hide the doubts in his heart, and blurted out and asked.

Dao Xueke chuckled again: "Why do you say this?" "Brother Xue once said a few days ago that he had no intention of fame and fortune, just for the sake of the people of Li to enter the palace to kill thieves, if it is peaceful today, why do you want to stay in the court and fight with others, and suffer from the glory and wealth that is like sitting on pins and needles every day, high-ranking officials and marquises?

But Dao Xueke said: "Senior sister left me, Baiyi, Xiaoli, Shanhuai, and Qingqiu left one after another, and Kexue Villa and Ten Ghost Halls have also been destroyed, and now what I have is only you." I can't lose you anymore, and I'm blind, like a wasted person, it's when all thoughts are lost, how can I be tempted by that illusory glory and wealth? Besides, I have already made an agreement with you that I want to return to Mengyao Mountain to be an ordinary couple, how can I forget?"

"In this case, why did Brother Xue agree to the emperor and accept the official position and reward. Chu Qingan asked as if he didn't understand.

"I am out of the palace now, not in the court, although I have received the false titles of General Dangkou and Zhongyi Jing Jielang, but the gold, silver, jewelry, and Ma Bao knives rewarded by the emperor are all recorded in the treasury, and I have not taken a penny, how can I be regarded as a rewarded official?

Chu Qing'an suddenly realized: "I see, Brother Xue pretended to be rewarded by the emperor, just to find a way out. If you refuse to agree, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to even come out of the palace, and now on the pretext of escorting Senior Sister Liu's coffin back to Kexue Villa, I will take the opportunity to fly away and never return to the court, the sky and the earth are big, and the people in the rivers and lakes come and go without a trace, no matter how the emperor searches, it will be difficult to catch you and me!"

"Exactly. And although the emperor promised you and me to escort my sister's coffin, I can use the martial arts of you and me, but I am afraid that no one is invincible in this world now, so why do you need to send someone to escort you. When Dao Xueke said this, Chu Qing'an patted his hands and continued: "The patrol captain and the inner guard must have been sent by the emperor to monitor the two of us, for fear that if we go and never return, his plan will come to naught." I'm afraid that he still has lingering palpitations, and he should not be curbed, and his throne is still unstable, and he wants to use us to work for him. ”

"It's a pity that he, an emperor who sits high in the temple and enjoys the glory and wealth of the world since he was a child, can have any plans for the city. It's better for you and me to be in the rivers and lakes, coming and going in the wind and rain, and rolling in the blood and water three times, so that you can taste the bleak wind and rain in this world and see it thoroughly. Dao Xueke became more and more calm, thinking that anything that happened after that would not be able to make waves in his heart.

And Chu Qing'an curled up, glanced at the inner guards behind the carriage, and asked: "Then what should this group of people do, if we escape, they will definitely go back to report to the emperor, it is a little troublesome." They were good at martial arts, and they had not committed any crimes, and if they were killed, wouldn't it be a crime in vain? It would make the emperor suspicious, and the consequences would be unimaginable. If it was Chu Qing'an's previous personality and way of acting, he would definitely kill them and leave, without hesitation, but now under the influence of Dao Xueke and Liu Yuanjun, she also began to think about the consequences.

"I have a plan. Dao Xueke leaned into Chu Qing'an's ear and whispered, Chu Qing'an pondered for a moment, then raised his head and whispered in Dao Xueke's ear for a while, both of them chuckled, and rushed forward with a whip, and the big attendant who followed behind him was afraid of losing the two, so he also waved the horsewhip together, kicked the stirrup, and chased forward.

Ying rushed out of Zhengyang Gate in embarrassment, stumbled all the way back to the Shunming Palace, and fell in front of the gate of the Shunming Palace. When the family heard the movement outside the door, they opened the door to investigate, only to see Ying Wujian fall in front of the door, shocked, and hurriedly called a servant maid to help Ying Wujian back to the room, bandaged the wound and invited Lang Zhong to treat Ying Wuji.

In this process, the housekeeper Lao Zhu led two maids to take care of him, and he should be fine. When he was unconscious, he was seen by the best Lang Zhong in the city, Lao Zhu took the hand of the Lang Zhong out of the bedroom, and hurriedly asked: "Doctor, how is the prince of my family?" Lang Zhong sighed, shook his head again, and said: "The injury is too serious, even if you can save your life, you can't save your left hand! ”

"How can the prince of my family cut off his hand! Aren't you the best doctor in the capital, how can you say such a ridiculous thing?" Old Zhu trembled when he heard this, and his hair was upside down. But Na Langzhong said helplessly: "If it's not me, even if I invite the chief imperial doctor in the palace, I can't go back to the sky." The prince's left hand was injured by the sword qi, and the meridians had been injured, if it continued, the blood was crushed and compressed, and the qi and blood were retrograde, and then it would really be powerless to return to the sky!"

Lao Zhu still refused to believe it, and pointed at Na Lang Zhong and scolded: "Quimp doctor! Quack doctor! It's clear that you are incompetent! Come on, knock him out of the house with a stick!" The family members were ordered to pull a short stick, hold it in their hands, and beat this powerless bitter man, so that his nose and face were swollen, and he was covered in injuries, and he threw people out of the house. I only sighed at the truth

Lang Zhong couldn't hold the money for a visit to the clinic, but he was beaten badly, and he had to crawl home in embarrassment.

And although Lao Zhu didn't know what the situation was in the palace, he only knew that he should escape from the palace without illness, and he was seriously injured, it must have been done by the people in the palace, and he couldn't enter the palace to ask for a royal doctor at this time, and the best doctor in the city had nothing to do.

The maid who was in charge of taking care of Ying Wujian suddenly rushed out of the room, and shouted out of breath: "Boss, boss!" Lao Zhu was bored in his heart, and when he heard the shouting, he subconsciously scolded: "What is noisy, there are no rules." Why are you panicking?" the maid lowered her head, clenched her fingers, and said timidly: "Chief, the prince is awake!

"Ah, didn't you say it earlier?" Lao Zhu heard this, bumped into the maid and rushed into the bedroom, and the maid hesitated a little and followed as soon as possible. When I came to the bed, I saw that Ying Wuji's face was blue, his head was full of sweat, his clothes were soaked early, and he only rolled and shouted on the bed, without the respect of the king. The old Zhu and the maid hurriedly waited for Ying Wuji, who was lying on the bed, to change into clean clothes, and heard that Ying Wujian shouting: "Where is Lao Zhu?

Manager Zhu knelt beside the bed, grabbed Ying Wuji's right hand and said, "The old slave is here!" and looked back at the two maids, and coldly ordered: "Don't retreat quickly!" The two maids bowed slightly, then obediently withdrew from the room and closed the door. And the old Zhu asked again: "What does the prince command?"

"Fu ...... King Fuben sat up......" Ying Wujian said very weakly, and Lao Zhu helped him up and sat on the bed. Ying Wuxian put on his robe, leaned over, and coughed incessantly. His eyes were slightly open, as if he had aged more than ten years, and he no longer had the heroic and majestic posture he had before. The general trend has gone, Ying Wujian is no longer the chess player who used to play with people and applaud, and he himself has long been trapped in the chessboard, but he still doesn't know.

Lao Zhu knelt in front of him and hurriedly asked, "What else does the prince command?" Ying Wujian hung his head, looked at his left hand, which was already blurred with flesh and blood, and couldn't move a bit, and shuddered again, sighed and said: "One wrong step, one wrong step, Lao Zhu, you say, this is the fixed number that this king has worked hard all his life in exchange? This king wants to revive my big ginger, is this king wrong?"

"No, the prince is right, it's the wrong way in this world, it's the wrong thing in this world!" Old Zhu heard this, he was already in tears, and he kowtowed again and again. Ying Wujian sneered and said: "Now they have all left me, and they have died because of me, this king is gone, and he is no longer the former king of Tangling." There is no credible person around this king, only you are the only one who refuses to leave, and now, the only person this king trusts is you. ”

Lao Zhu's rolling tears soaked every wrinkle, trembling all over, and he clenched his fists and said: "The old slave's old bones have been handed over to the prince and handed over to the Ying family, but the prince but please command, the old slave is willing to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire for the prince, and he will never give up!"

Ying Wujian looked at the left hand that was almost only white bones, and there was still a little flesh and skin on the bones, he raised his head and laughed three times, and even rolled down two lines of tears, this was the first time he cried, and it should be the last time: "This king has worked hard for decades, killed many people, and in the end it is difficult for him to save his life." Dao Xueke's martial arts are great, and he broke the king's Tiangang glass cover with just one move, and the sword qi entered the body, disturbing the true qi and damaging the meridians, so that I could not use the gong to heal my injuries. Is this king going to die here today?"

The old slave went to the palace to invite the imperial doctor, and he fought for this old life, and he also wanted to heal the prince's injury!" Lao Zhu wiped a handful of tears, kowtowed three times, and got up and was about to rush out of the door. "Wait!" Ying Wujian hurriedly stopped him and commanded, "Do not act recklessly. This king still has a matter that you need to arrange. ”

Lao Zhu turned around and bowed: "Lord Wang, please speak!" "You immediately send a confidant who is familiar with the situation in the palace to sneak into the palace, contact the eyes and ears of the palace, and join hands to inquire about the situation in the palace. This king will act at his discretion!" "Yes!" Lao Zhu took the order and left, and closed the bedroom door again, leaving Ying Wuxian alone.

Ying Wujian saw him walk away, and his eyes drifted to the wooden box on the wooden table a few steps away. Moved forward, was about to get out of bed, but did not expect to be affected by the injury spurting out a mouthful of blood, staining the bed and the clothes he had just changed, his heavy body fell off the bed, and fell to the ground fiercely, his face was covered with blood, but he still supported his body with his right hand, and crawled towards the wooden case with difficulty.

After a lot of hard work, leaving only an intermittent bloodstain behind him, Ying Wuxian collapsed in front of the wooden case, stretched out his right hand and knocked over the wooden box on the case, which contained a somewhat yellowed book, and the book cover was written with the words "Supreme Great Xuan Shen Ming Scroll"! This book was originally brought by the king of Tanglin from the absence of illness to meet the needs of the occasion. And when Ying Wujian obtained this strange book, just in case, he ordered someone to copy each of the volumes of martial arts separately, and a copy of it in general.

The original "Supreme Great Xuanshen Scroll" had been returned to Han beggar and Zuoqiu by Dao Xueke, and the two destroyed the book to prevent it from flowing into the rivers and lakes and causing trouble. And the copy of the copy was kept by Ying Wuji, and he kept it with him all the time, and he did not mention it to anyone. The rest of the scrolls, except for the ghostly dementor, were all hidden in the Tanglin Mansion.
