Before Huang Chao could answer, Zhu Wen shouted first: "Huang Wang, don't listen to Xu Zhi's rhetoric, there are his troubled brothers in this area, won't he show mercy?"

Huang Chao ignored Zhu Wen, but said to Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi kindly: "Xu Zhi, Zhi'er, listen, you must not be in love with children when you do great things. These traitors are both your brothers and an obstacle to your cause. You should know which is more important than affection and the country!"

Zhou Yuanzhi replied: "Father, don't worry, no matter how confused we are, we won't know the severity!" After speaking, he drew his sword and stabbed at Li Xiuyun. Li Xiuyun was not to be outdone, and drew his sword to greet him. The two swords flashed, and they fought for dozens of rounds without winning or losing.

Xu Zhi took out the Fengming Sword, and without waiting for Zhou Chen's reaction, it was a move to "travel clouds and flowing water", and after disturbing his vision with sword light, he turned to his back and fought with Hui Feng. Seeing Xu Zhi attacking, Hui Feng also took out his sword to block, which was the first time the brothers really fought each other. Xu Zhi made it a "fluttering sword move", and Hui Feng used the "Wudang Taiji Sword Technique" to greet him, one was smart and elegant, and the other was a steady old man; the two fought nearly dozens of moves, regardless of victory or defeat, but Xu Zhi had an advantage in the change of sword moves, and Hui Feng did not dare to take risks, and blindly guarded the door, so Xu Zhi swam around Hui Feng to attack, and Hui Feng stood in place and raised his sword to draw a circle to defend.

Zhou Chen saw that Hui Feng was falling to the downwind, and wanted to help him break the siege, so he took a few steps back, avoided Zhang Zhifang, and shot a sleeve arrow from his sleeve, shooting at Xu Zhi's heart. Xu Zhi heard the sound, and with a move of "hanging the golden hook upside down", he turned over and picked it up with the head of his sword, so that the sleeve arrow changed direction and shot at Huifeng. Hui Feng was concentrating on dealing with Xu Zhi's change of moves, how could he have thought that a hidden weapon was flying, a little distracted, revealing a flaw, and Xu Zhi made a move "Phoenix Dance Nine Days" to pick up the sword. Xu Zhi didn't want to hurt Hui Feng, so he stretched out his right hand, gently pushed him away, and shouted, "Brother Hui, don't take this opportunity to leave!"

Only then did Hui Feng understand Xu Zhi's intentions, he was forcing himself back by competing with himself, and then took advantage of everyone's inattention to let himself take the opportunity to break out of the encirclement.

Huifeng was worried about Li Xiuyun's safety and asked, "Brother Xu, I'm leaving, what should Princess Xiuyun do?"

Zhou Yuanzhi smiled and said: "Brother Hui, it's important for you to run for your life first, Princess Xiuyun will not be in danger, and your Brother Xu and I will help her get out of danger!"

Hui Feng replied: "Thank you Brother Xu and Miss Zhou", and while everyone was stunned, Fei Fei turned a few times in a row, jumped out of the encirclement, and disappeared without a trace.

Zhu Wen saw that Xu Zhi let go of Hui Feng, and shouted: "Huang Wang, you have also seen it, this Xu Zhi is too naïve, he let go of the strong enemy three times and twice, our General Shang was injured by the villain Hui Feng, Huang Wang, what should you do!"

Huang Chao never thought that Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi would use a trick to deliberately deceive themselves and cover Huifeng to escape, and said angrily: "Xu Zhi, you bastard, do you still have my father-in-law in your eyes?"

Zhou Yuanzhi hurriedly explained: "Father, you can't completely blame Brother Xu for this matter, and Zhi'er can't bear to let Brother Hui die!

Li Xiuyun saw that Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi suddenly broke into the formation, and killed herself and Hui Feng, she was desperate, and she wanted to die in front of Xu Zhi immediately, but she never thought that Zhou Yuanzhi would beg Huang Chao to let her go, and said ashamedly: "Miss Zhou, you don't have to be like this, Xiuyun is the princess of the dead country, and it is reasonable to be hunted down and killed! Xiuyun is already dead, why let the girl turn against her father!"

Zhou Yuanzhi was pulling back and forth with Huang Chao, and at the same time glanced at Xu Zhi. Xu Zhi understood her intentions, took Li Xiuyun's hand, carried her on his back, Zhou Chen shook his sword at Zhang Zhifang, protected Xu Zhi's back, and the three of them slowly retreated.

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that Zhang Zhifang was still going to chase and kill, so he hurriedly blocked his way. When Zhang Zhifang saw it, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he had to hurriedly say: "Please also ask Princess Yuanzhi to get out of the way, so that her subordinates can chase and kill the traitor!"

Zhu Wen hurriedly said: "King Huang, you must not let the tiger return to the mountain! If we can't wipe out all the important ministers of the imperial court, how will we gain a foothold in Chang'an in the future?"

Huang Chao replied: "General Zhu, I also understand your hard work, but Yuan Zhi is in the hands of the enemy, how do you tell King Gu to deal with it? Is it possible that the soldiers will even kill her?"

Zhu Wen saw that Xu Zhi had led Li Xiuyun, Zhou Yuanzhi and others to go away, and said hatefully: "Alas! Seeing that we are about to succeed, we have missed another good opportunity! It's really sad!", after speaking, the soldiers raised their swords and guns, dispersed the onlookers, and continued to follow Xu Zhi and the others.

The people of Chang'an sincerely welcomed Huang Chao into the city, but they didn't know that a great good thing turned into a bad thing, which not only disturbed Huang Chao, but also saw the ugly thing of Li Xiuyun escaping from under Huang Chao's eyelids, worried that Huang Chao would not be able to get over it, and saw Zhu Wen leading the troops fiercely, so they all left one after another.

Besides, Huifeng took the first step, went out of the Yanxing Gate in Chang'an, and immediately commanded the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army outside the city to meet Xu Zhi, Zhou Yuanzhi, Li Xiuyun and others under the city tower. Xu Zhi led everyone out of the city gate, and Fang put down Li Xiuyun from his body.

Hui Feng asked the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army to fight hard to block the pursuers sent by Zhu Wen, and let everyone ride a few horses and gallop all the way south.

Zhou Chen led everyone to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain in the southern suburbs of Chang'an, and everyone saw that the mountain was full of dead trees and yellow grass, and it was a depression.

Li Xiuyun said to Xu Zhi: "Brother Xu, Miss Zhou, your life-saving grace, Xiuyun is difficult to repay in this life, only in front of the green lantern, meditate for you, and pray for your peace and happiness in life!"

Xu Zhi said regretfully: "The princess is now at a good age, and it is the time to make great achievements, how can she see through the red dust and escape from the world because of the current ups and downs?

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that Li Xiuyun was going to escape into the empty door to be a Taoist aunt, and the previous precautions against her were gone, and persuaded: "Sister Li is so beautiful and beautiful, it's too regrettable to be a Taoist aunt, why don't you leave Chang'an with us and be happy?"

Hongye listened to Zhou Yuanzhi's words, knew her generosity, and also persuaded: "Princess, since Gongzi Xu and Miss Zhou can accept you, why do you have to suffer yourself? Why don't we walk with Gongzi Xu, so that your ambition in this life will not be in vain!"

Zhou Chen also hoped that Li Xiuyun would change his original intention, and echoed: "Princess, Hongye is right, as the saying goes, once you enter the empty door, everything will be closed." You are now a beautiful time, and your subordinates don't want to see you with the green lantern as a companion and miserable for a lifetime!"

Li Xiuyun couldn't help but smile and said: "Xiuyun has made up his mind, you don't have to persuade each other! Xiuyun has lived up to everyone's expectations, everything is not harmonious, it is better to be clean!"

At this time, Hui Feng killed and repelled the pursuers, and also rushed over, he heard that Li Xiuyun was going to be a Taoist aunt, so he lay on the ground and persuaded him for a long time, and sighed: "The princess has the grace of knowing Hui Feng and has the merit of rebuilding." Now that the princess wants to leave the mortal world, where will Huifeng go?"

Li Xiuyun hurriedly picked up Hui Feng and said to him: "General Hui, you don't want to stay in Chang'an for a long time, take Miss Cheng back to Songzhou as soon as possible, there are high mountains and rivers far away, and there is no danger." If there is anything undecided in the future, you can listen to General Zhou's opinion more!", Hui Feng nodded, indicating that he had written it down.

Li Xiuyun said to Zhou Chen again: "General Zhou has been loyal to the royal family all his life, but he must not be forced in everything, and he must not do anything to hurt others in the future, so that there will be retribution, this is the reason why I am not protected by the Tang Dynasty and spurned by all the people!"

Zhou Chen bowed and replied, "My subordinates follow the princess's teachings!"

Li Xiuyun walked to Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi again, took Zhou Yuanzhi's hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhou, in fact, Xiuyun is very envious of you, you can be in love with Brother Xu vigorously, and happily join hands in the rivers and lakes." If Xiuyun is not the princess of the imperial court, she will definitely be like you, cherishing every minute and every second of getting along with Brother Xu, bit by bit. It's a pity that Xiuyun can't do it, the eldest brother has Miss Zhou with her for the rest of her life, and Xiuyun will be relieved! If there is an afterlife, I hope the three of us are friends, not enemies!"

Li Xiuyun said to Xu Zhi with a smile again: "Brother Xu, Xiuyun is about to part with you, I hope you will treat Sister Yuan Zhi well in the future, she has followed you all the way, and it is not easy to go through so much." If there is an afterlife, Xiuyun hopes to meet the eldest brother earlier, fly among the crape myrtle flowers with the eldest brother, and play the song "Wangjiangnan" together!"

Li Xiuyun couldn't cry anymore as she spoke, she left the last smile at Xu Zhi and the others, and slowly disappeared into the mountains and forests with fallen leaves along the secluded ancient road of Zhongnan Mountain.

Everyone was very sad when they saw Li Xiuyun drifting away with red leaves. Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi said goodbye to Huifeng and returned to Chang'an. The two met He Mengjiao, An Jingsi, Xue Atan, and Liao Yin in front of the palace gate.

Xu Zhi greeted him and asked, "Miss He, why are you here?"

He Mengjiao told Xu and Zhou how she left Li Xiuyun's side, and finally sighed: "It's really a trick, I still suspected that Brother Xu killed my eldest brother back then, but I didn't expect that all this was done by the imperial court!"

Xue Atan smiled and said: "Miss He, I said at the time that this thing couldn't have been done by Brother Xu, you just don't believe it, you have to fight hard with Brother Xu! Now that the truth is revealed, what are you going to do?"

An Jingsi interjected: "Xue Aniu, do you still need to ask? Of course Sister He wants to find Zhou Chen for revenge, and when Brother Xu is busy with Chang'an's affairs, my brother will accompany my sister to take revenge!"

Xue Atan said with a smile: "When the time comes, Brother Xu, Miss Zhou, and all the masters, we will slaughter that Zhou Chen together with Miss He!"

He Mengjiao listened, but sighed: "When is the time for retribution, in fact, that Zhou Chen also obeyed the will of the imperial court to do things that are unreasonable, as long as his martial arts are abolished, why should we take his life?"

When everyone heard this, they all nodded and praised Miss He for her kindness.

At this time, Huang Chao was already surrounded by the generals, took the emperor's royal gold root car, and entered the palace under the persuasion of the elders of the imperial court. Huang Chao couldn't resist the bewitchment of the generals, changed into a dragon robe, wore twelve crowns, sat on the Taiji Palace, received the congratulations of the generals, and watched the music and dance, as if it was the imperial system. After Huang Chao was satisfied, he withdrew from the generals, leaving only his henchman Zhu Wen to speak in front of the palace.

Zhu Wen saw that Huang Chao was still angry about Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi letting Li Xiuyun go, so he bowed down and persuaded: "King Huang, you can't blame the princess for this, you still have to blame Xu Zhi, if he hadn't bewitched the princess, he wouldn't have been able to cause so much trouble! According to what the ministers have seen, these ministers of more than three grades should be allowed to go home to retire! The Yellow King issued another holy decree: Those who dare to hide high-ranking officials of the imperial court in Chang'an City will be punished for the crime of treason, and there will be no forgiveness for killing!"

Huang Chao listened and said loudly: "Zhu Aiqing, your idea is very good, you are lonely!"

Zhu Wen proposed again: "The subordinates congratulate the Yellow King on his great achievement, but the generals are still waiting for the Yellow King's reward?"

Huang Chao thought for a while and said: "If you want to say that the first merit of entering the customs to break Chang'an this time, it is none other than Zhi'er and Xu Zhi, but they let go of the remnants of the court without permission, and their merits are offset by each other." Besides, they are the princess and colt of the future, and it is natural for them to contribute to the lonely king, so I will not give them any extra rewards this time!"

Zhu Wen sneered: "If you don't give Xu Zhi a reward, how can you appease so many people in the rivers and lakes under him? Those men only recognize benefits and don't talk about dignity and humility. They only recognize Xu Zhi, and even Huang Wang can't move them. In case they mutiny, we have the remnants of the imperial court outside, and these unstable elements inside take the opportunity to make trouble, how can your dragon throne sit firmly, and how can you sit back and relax?"

Huang Chao shuddered when he heard Zhu Wen's words, and hurriedly stepped down from the throne and asked, "This reward is not, and if it is not, how should the Lone King settle them?"

Zhu Wen replied: "King Huang, you also saw it today, this Xu Zhi is indeed overwhelmed. The Yellow King had already reminded him of the importance of the country and the kindness and righteousness, and he was okay, openly working against the Yellow King, and he had to make a look of sticking a knife in the ribs for his friend, and ignoring the country that the Yellow King had worked so hard to build, how could such a person be entrusted with heavy use. After the Yellow King is long lived, how can he rest assured that he will hand over the country to him?"

Huang Chao sighed: "The lonely king has a daughter of Yuanzhi, and Yuan'er is not married to him, if the lonely king does not hand over the country to him, who can he hand it over?"

Zhu Wen said: "The subordinates also know the difficulties in the heart of the Yellow King! But Princess Yuanzhi is not born to the king after all. Now that the king is about to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, his wife is too old to have children, but there are no less than 100 concubines and wives of the Son of Heaven, so why worry that he will not be able to give birth to a prince in a few years! At that time, of course, the king will pass on the inheritance from generation to generation, so why should he pass it on to an outsider?"

Huang Chao sighed: "General Zhu, the lonely king is not reconciled and can't do it! The lonely king is over the age of six, how can he still give birth to an heir?"

Zhu Wen said with a smile: "Back then, King Wen of Zhou was still able to give birth to a saint at the age of 100, as long as my king works hard, he will definitely succeed!"

Huang Chao asked rhetorically, "If it doesn't work, what should I do?"

Zhu Wen replied: "Then retreat to the second, King Huang's nephew Lin Yan is intelligent and open-minded, has repeatedly made military achievements, and is deeply loved by the soldiers, General Shang and his subordinates are interested in recommending him as the crown prince of my king." In short, this country cannot fall into the hands of Xu Zhi, his righteousness in the rivers and lakes is too heavy, and the soldiers will not obey him! King Huang, you don't know, after Xu Zhi entered the palace this time, he let his brothers An Jingsi and Xue Atan take turns to sit on the throne, let me ask if this throne is sat by these people? If Jiangshan let him inherit it, wouldn't he let his brothers take turns to be the son of heaven!"

When Huang Chao heard this, he said angrily: "For other things, the Lone King can still tolerate him." This matter of taking turns to sit on the dragon seat is absolutely unforgivable, it is simply child's play. Besides, are they sitting on this dragon chair? Do they still have a lone king in their eyes?"

Zhu Wen was overjoyed when he saw that Huang Chao was angry, and continued: "Don't hide it from King Huang, according to the secret agent I planted in Xu Zhi's army, Xu Zhi deliberately sent Princess Yuan Zhi away and went to the harem alone to find the little princess who defected for a private meeting, maybe Xu Zhi and the court are also disconnected, so my subordinates implore King Huang to think about the future generations of our righteous army, and must not reuse Xu Zhi!"

Huang Chao asked, "Then what should be done with him?"

Zhu Wen replied: "Assign Xu Zhi an important task and let him persuade the Hebei Domain to surrender, so that he and his brothers can be driven out of Chang'an!"

Huang Chao shook his head and said: "This Xu Zhi, King Gu is not guilty of what he did in Caizhou last time, but he is becoming more and more undisciplined." The matter of this heir has also troubled the old man for a long time, so he acted according to the general's strategy and transferred him out of Chang'an!"

At this time, Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi entered the Taiji Hall and saw the Yellow Nest. Huang Chao reproached: "Zhi'er, Xu Zhi, you are all golden branches and jade leaves, there must be a rule for everything, otherwise how can you set an example for the world in the future? Take this time to let go of the princess of the court, it is a big mistake between you and Xu Zhi! Xu Zhi, the Lone King is now appointing you with an important task, let you and Zhi'er as the envoys of the Lone King go to the towns of Hebei, and persuade them to surrender to my Daqi as soon as possible!"

Xu Zhi replied: "Xu Zhi obeys the dispatch of the Yellow King!"

Huang Chao sent Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi away, and when he saw Zhang Zhifang breaking in, he said: "King Huang, something is wrong, the soldiers have a conflict with the people of the city!"

Huang Chao exclaimed: "Didn't we put up a notice when we entered the city: Let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the soldiers should not be disturbed?

It turned out that Zhou Chen ordered people to poison the river water in Chang'an, and most of the soldiers of the righteous army drank the river water, and most of them fell ill. When the generals saw that the people of Chang'an were fine, they thought that the people's surrender was false, and that it was true that they had designed to assassinate the righteous army, so the soldiers rushed into the Chang'anfang city with resentment, killing the people when they saw them, robbing them when they saw them, and burning them when they saw them! Now the city of Chang'an is in a mess, and the people have fled from the city one after another, and Chang'an is already an empty city.

Huang Chao heard this, shouted: "Not good", and sat down on the dragon chair.
