"Whew~!" A cool breeze blew, and the moon, which had just revealed half of the string, was completely blocked by dark clouds, and the entire sky was only left with bright stars.

In a hurry, Li Bing urged the true qi of his whole body, originally he only wanted to wrestle with Gongzi Yan, but he didn't want the true qi to come out of the meridians, shaking him away, and lingering on his body, a dark black qi almost wrapped his body.

It was also the first time he had seen such a situation, and he said in his heart, this is not something that a person of his realm can do.

Gongziyan was also stunned, thinking that Li Bing had used some secret method, so he retreated temporarily, and saw that the three or five rebels behind him were fighting with a few disciples of the non-faction, so he gave up Li Bing and jumped into it.

Li Bing also rushed into the battle formation, fought with him, and dismantled three or five moves.

Forcibly controlling the true qi for so long, the true qi in his body is still full, even if he has become a master of the inner family or a master of magic, it is rare to have such a full true qi.

Ordinary people rely on the strength of the sea of qi to reserve and fill the true qi, but Li Bing lies in this strange exercise, the true qi is used for ten points, and eight points are born in an instant, and it is endless.

However, after this battle, although the true qi in the body is still full, and the reaction of the mind is still very fast, the body is about to be unable to keep up, the muscles are sore, and the sword moves have slowed down.

Gongziyan has long been accustomed to this kind of long-term confrontation, and the "Carved Snow Rainbow" in his hand is faster than one move, a cold light flashed, and it almost touched Li Bing's chest, almost to succeed.

Tired Dust was hard to resist the blow of the carved snow, Li Bing's figure retreated slightly, seeing that his gilt rainbow was about to pass through his throat, and a horizontal knife fell from the sky, wanting to cut off Gongziyan's arm - it was Meng Haiyuan who was holding the knife in both hands.

Gongzi Yan fluttered his body, moved to the right dexterously, did not resist Meng Haiyuan, and detoured behind Li Bing in three or two steps, still wanting to surprise attack.

Li Bing's body slowed down, but his mind still reacted quickly, and as soon as he caught a glimpse of his movements out of the corner of his eye, he turned around and swept to Gongziyan's waist.

This move was heavy, and Gongziyan couldn't dodge it, and he ate ninety percent of his strength. The pain in his left back was unbearable, and he covered his waist with one hand and stepped back.

Taking advantage of his injury, a strong figure broke through from a group of people, rushed over in three or two steps, picked up a two-handed heavy axe, aimed at the waist and slashed, opened and closed, and drew a round of wind and strong moon, almost sweeping to the waist of Gongziyan.

Gongziyan took a step back, pointed two acupoints on his waist, temporarily relieved the pain, jumped up, stepped on the horizontal surface of the axe, leaped with strength, rolled in the air, and landed beside Yu Linghui who came over, and he was followed by seven or eight rebels of the forbidden army.

Looking at the field again, those city guards or Ma Xuewen's brothers, after all, their combat power is far inferior to the elite of the forbidden army, and the number is not superior, more than half of them have been killed or wounded, and the disciples of the non-sect are slightly stronger in martial arts, but they have also lost more than one-third. Originally, it was still a scuffle, but now the scene has been almost controlled by Yu Linghui's rebels.

Every non-faction master is dealing with the two forbidden armies, and they have completely fallen into decline.

Outside the city gate, corpses were strewn all over the field, and even the walls of the gatehouse and the thick gate had been dyed red, and flesh and stumps flew everywhere.

"Your face!" Ma Xuewen stood beside Li Bing, and when he turned his head, he saw that a black blood vessel had extended from his neck to his face, which was a little terrifying.

Li Bing once had two meridians, and when he used his true qi, it would affect the surrounding blood vessels to turn black, which were the "Hand Yang Ming Large Intestine Meridian" and the "Zu Shao Yin and Kidney Meridian". Now the third "Foot Less Yang Gull Sutra" has also appeared.

Under this reminder, he also felt that his face was a little the same, not very comfortable, but after touching it, it seemed to have a big impact, and he didn't have time to care about it at the moment.

Gongziyan whispered to Yu Linghui, and used his strange body to attack Li Bing. But as soon as he took a step, he was seen through by Meng Haiyuan, and with a wave of his knife, he cut off his way.

Seeing that Li Bing was about to go up to help with the fist, Yu Linghui also raised his sword to attack. The first forbidden army naturally knew that the commander Meng Haiyuan was powerful, and they also surrounded Li Bing.

Ma Xuewen was beside Li Bing, picked up the axe and forced back the first person who rushed up, turned around and chopped, the axe was just embedded in the head of a rebel, the axe blade was almost unhindered, and it was always the end, splitting him into two, and the internal organs were scattered all over the place.

Li Bing was less hindered by the rebels, and he and Yu Linghui faced each other and dismantled their swords. In the past, he was naturally invincible to Yu Linghui's swordsmanship, but after more than ten moves against the enemy, the two were almost comparable.

He was proud, in order to force away the knife of the rebel miscellaneous soldiers, as soon as he turned around, he was seen by Yu Linghui to see the flaw, a sword stabbed the thigh, the wound not only bleed, but also a stream of true qi poured into the wound, the wound was instantly paralyzed, the thigh was weak, and he could barely stand on his feet.

However, this cyan true qi was quickly devoured by the true qi in Li Bing's body, and his legs also regained their strength. This made Li Bing more cautious, he glanced at the sword body of Yu Linghui, and now he realized that on the cyan sword body, there was a faint blue light, but the color was similar, and it was not easy to detect.

This true qi is directly attached to the sword body, and his realm is really higher than himself.

Yu Linghui is both internal and external, unlike Gongziyan, who relies on horizontal practice, his internal strength is also a little hot, and he can already achieve the point where his true qi is completely attached to the sword body.

Looking at the sword in Yu Linghui's hand, Li Bingxin said, in the past, the true qi could not be attached to the sword body, because I was not cultivated enough to release the true qi in the body, but now the true qi is already outside the body, it is better to ......

While grappling, he was thinking about it, and in a distraction, he was stabbed in the shoulder again.

He turned around and slashed his sword, it was the momentum of the wind "Starry Night Return", and the black true qi lingering on his body was wrapped around the sword body of "Tired Dust" along the hilt. The white moonlight reflected by the pale sword body itself was now completely covered by Li Bing's black true qi.

The black sword body is an inch longer than before, and it seems to be more agile and agile to wield.

"Oh~!" originally just wanted to pick off the long horizontal knife of the rebel forbidden army, but this sword was cut down, and the horizontal knife was actually cut off.

It is true that Tired Dust is a first-grade sword, but the Tang Heng Knife that is standard in the forbidden army is also a third-grade level. In terms of hardness, it is not something that can be cut with a sword.

This true qi is attached to the weapon, and it is so powerful. Li Bing was shocked, and said in his heart, if there is still an internal strength method, if he can learn the true qi of Yu Linghui just now, it will be even more powerful to invade the body.

After Li Bing discovered the wonderful use of this true qi, he fought faster and faster, and became more handy, and he and Ma Xuewen contained Yu Linghui and seven or eight forbidden troops, but they did not fall behind at all.

Although the battle situation here is good, there are fewer and fewer people on the field at this time, and Li Bing's side has shown a great decline.

More than eighty percent of the city guards and Ma Xuewen's younger brother were injured or could not fight anymore, and the non-sectarian disciples also suffered heavy losses, and now almost everyone needs to fight with one enemy and four, and the disadvantage is getting bigger and bigger in this case.

Li Bing also said badly in his heart.

Suddenly, the messy but loud sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him. Li Bing looked up, and a large wave of people arrived, and the person at the head was so familiar.

Li Xuan's reinforcements have finally arrived!

Gongzi Yan blocked Li Bing's tired dust for Yu Linghui, looked at the dense reinforcements, and sighed: "Linghui!

Even if there are still some advantages on the field, Yu Linghui has been injured, and now that reinforcements are coming, how can this group of people fight again.

Yu Linghui leaned down to avoid the attack, he was careless, the long sword in his hand had been knocked away by Li Bing, and he picked up a copper hammer casually, attacked Meng Haiyuan's chest, and shouted at Gongziyan: "Fight to the last moment, when my father succeeds and pacifies the inner palace, they will all die." ”

Before the words fell, while he was distracted, Li Bingyi hit his back with a sword, he screamed in pain, and just about to turn around, he was kicked in the back by Li Bing, almost falling to the ground.

"Come on!" Before he could regain his footing, he listened to the shouting in front of him, and looked up, Ma Xuewen was covered in blood, his huge body stood in front of him, and the big axe had been raised above his head.

Gongziyan was shocked, and he didn't care about Li Bing anymore, threw out the carved snow rainbow, and used it as a hidden weapon to attack Ma Xuewen, shouting: "Get out!"

The opportunity cannot be missed, Ma Xuewen didn't want to dodge these two daggers at all, and slashed straight down with an axe, and he was bound to take his head.

"Shhh

Gongzi made a mistake in the smoke chaos, and thought about Yu Linghui, and was stabbed in the left chest by Li Bingyi with a sword. But he didn't care, pulled his body out of the long sword, ran straight to Yu Linghui's side, and grabbed his left hand to pull him away.

"Ah~!"

A sharp shout, heartbreaking, pierced through the entire noisy palace wall and pointed straight at the sky.

Gongziyan finally took a step slower, and Ma Xuewen's giant axe was cut down, although he didn't kill Yu Linghui, he actually cut off his right arm.

The barb kicked the back of Ma Xuewen's neck, Gongziyan took out his dagger, put the fish order emblem on his shoulder, turned his head and glanced at Li Bing, who had already chased him, rushed two steps to the palace wall, and jumped away.

Li Bing looked at their distant figures, and did not intend to chase them anymore, he glanced at the rebel soldiers who were still dying and struggling, and roared loudly: "Your leader has fled, he is at the end of the road, put down his blade, and save you from death!"

The other side.

The Yulin Army resisted desperately, relying on the geographical advantage, and defended it for a quarter of an hour.

Yu Chaoen gathered most of his forces and finally killed the guarding forbidden army and broke through the Manna Temple.

He kicked the door of the closed shop, and a group of rebels who thought they would soon have the world in front of him swarmed into the main hall.

"What...... Whatever!"

The hall was empty, and all those who rushed in were dumbfounded.

Seeing that the dragon chair, desk, and carpet were all messed up, Yu Chaoen became impatient and angry:

"There must be a secret passage!

The rebels scattered and searched everywhere. Yu Chaoen hurriedly ran to the desk, looked at all the jade seals on the table, checked them one by one, and the jade seals of the country were no longer among them, and he was even more uneasy in his heart.

Suddenly, I heard the thunderous voices of people outside the hall, and the words "kill!" were endless.

He was completely flustered: "Didn't you hold it?

The rebels had no idea that Li Xuan was looking for reinforcements, and thought that the enemy they were about to face was only Mi Xin's reinforcements.

Yu Chaoen drew his sword again and raised it high: "Sons, go out with me to meet the enemy!"

The teams of Li Xu, Meng Haiyuan and Mi Xin have converged, and the three of them each have a team, leading a total of 10,000 people, to surround the entire Ganlu Palace.

And Li Bing and Ma Xuewen are no longer in this team.

Let's say that after Li Xuan arrived with reinforcements, Li Bing saw this number, and knew that he had put down the rebellion, so he called Ma Xuewen at the moment, ordered a team of 500 people, and rushed into the north of Taiji Palace with himself, the target was not Ganlu Palace, nor Taiji Palace, but Linzhao Palace, which no one cared about on weekdays.

Along the way, he occasionally encountered some rebels and forbidden troops fighting together, and the number was not large, and Li Bing's team was killing all the way.

Many palaces are lit with fire, and even if there are no torches, this raging flame will illuminate the entire palace. Along the way, there were the corpses of eunuchs, palace maids, and forbidden soldiers, and even saw the corpses of the five princes, and after a cursory investigation, they were already exhausted, and Li Bing was even more anxious when he saw this.

Finally arrived at the gate of the Linzhao Palace, he saw that the gate was locked, and there was no fire inside, his heart was half stable, and he slapped the door frantically: "Li Xuan! Li Xuan! Open the door quickly! I am Li Bing!"

Even if Li Bing is the prince, according to etiquette, he can't call the prince by his name. But he couldn't care so much, he was anxious, and hurriedly screamed.

I didn't see anyone open the door for a long time. Li Bing slashed the latch of the gate with three swords, and rushed in with Ma Xuewen.

As soon as I entered the door, I happened to see Li Xuan and Yan Zhen coming out of the door. He even ran a few steps, ignoring the blood on his armor, and hugged Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was lame, with so much strength on his body, he couldn't stand steadily for a while, fell to the ground, and took Li Bing to fall on his heels.

"Li Bing, your face. Seeing the black line on his face, Li Xuan sighed in his heart, his expression instantly froze, and even the original joy was gone.

Li Bing didn't care about this, he still hugged him, and said: "I'm scared to death, looking at the corpses of the five princes on the road, I thought you too!"

Li Xuan's muscles and bones themselves were not strong, and he was overwhelmed by his heavy armor, so he hurriedly beat Li Bing's armor and coughed twice: "You're going to crush me to death." ”

Li Bing reacted at this time, hurriedly got up, and also helped Li Xuan to get up, and gave him relief: "It's okay." ”

"I didn't fall into the hands of traitors, and I almost crushed you to death!"

He glanced at Li Bing: "The fifth brother has a strong temperament, and he is conceited that he knows some martial arts, and when he encounters the rebels, he naturally wants to go out to fight." I regretted my life, of course I hid in the palace and couldn't come out. But how did you come here, how happened to my father, and have the rebels been subdued?"

"I don't know yet, my father rushed to the Manna Palace, and I was worried about your safety, so I came here first. ”

After he finished speaking, he slapped a palm on Li Xuan's shoulder, and said: "Since you are fine, then I am also relieved, and I have to rush to the Ganlu Hall for reinforcements, you are careful yourself." ”

He hurriedly said to Ma Xuewen: "Xuewen, you leave half of the people here to protect the eleventh prince, and the rest will go to the Ganlu Hall with me to quell the rebellion!" After speaking, he hurriedly went out with the people and horses.

Li Xuan saw that Li Bing did not go to the Ganlu Palace, and came to the Zhaodian Hall first, and felt a little more comforted in his heart, and only said, there are so many plans for him, and sure enough, he also thinks about me.

The only friend in this world also remembers himself in his heart, which is really a gratifying thing.

But looking at the black meridians on Li Bing's face, he muttered in his heart again: "Linyuan, Linyuan! Why haven't you come back?" ”

Outside the Manna Palace, all the rebels were wiped out in less than a stick of incense, and it seemed that they had not experienced any thrilling at all, but a one-sided slaughter.

Yu Chaoen was tied with his hands behind his back and was pressed to kneel at the door of the Manna Temple.

The rebels also lost their weapons and were surrounded by reinforcements, not daring to have any further hopes.

The territory of the Ganlu Palace is not small, except for the Taiji Palace, it is already the second largest palace in the entire Taiji Palace, and it can't accommodate all the reinforcements.

"All the rebels in Ganlu Hall have been wiped out, the rebel leader Yu Chaoen was captured alive, and Li Shu escaped. Brother Li Xuan, respectfully ask for St. Ann. The rescue is late, and I hope that Your Majesty will atone for your sins. ”

Li Xuan half-knelt down, took off his helmet, and said loudly to the hall, he didn't know that Li Shu had already been killed by Li Xuan.

A golden light flashed in the hall, and the dazzling light inside could be seen through the window paper.

The golden light dimmed for a moment, and I saw someone inside pushing open the temple door. His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the Empress walked out.

Li Yu looked at this dense sergeant, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Yu up, took his arm and said, "Thank you for your hard work! If you hadn't seen the opportunity and rushed in time, I, Li Tang, would be in danger." ”

"Your Majesty forgives you, if you follow the original plan and only go to Tongguan to bring all the garrisons, you can arrive two hours ago. However, on the way, I thought about it again and again, and made my own decisions, and sent people to 'Shaanzhou', 'Yaozhou' and 'Qizhou' respectively to ask for help.

First, Tongguan guarded the gate into the pass, and also needed to watch the Jiedu envoys, transferring more than half of the garrison, which was already very dangerous, if all of them were transferred, once something happened, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.

Second, even if all the garrisons are transferred, they can only barely cope with the four guards of Shenwei Shence, and if Yu Chaoen still has ambush soldiers, it will be a failure. In this way, the younger brother made his own decisions, and the rescue was late, and he hoped that His Majesty would forgive his sins. ”

(Shaanzhou, now Sanmenxia City, Henan, Yaozhou, now Tongchuan, Shaanxi, Qizhou, now Baoji, Shaanxi)

Li Yu wanted to plead guilty again, but His Majesty went to help him and did not let him kneel, and said sincerely:

"Thanks to your thoughtfulness, we really didn't expect in advance that in the forbidden army, even the left and right divine guards were under his orders, if you hadn't found so many more people, the counterinsurgency would not have gone so smoothly. ”

He was grateful on the outside and believed Li Yan's words, but he had a suspicion in his heart: I only gave him the military talisman of the Tongguan garrison, and it was really unbelievable that he could mobilize most of the troops of the three states around Chang'an by just passing on his own words without a talisman.

The time when he came to the palace to quell the chaos was very coincidental, two hours later than planned, if I did not hide in the "Golden Array", but was killed, and Yu Chaoen had not fully controlled the situation, wouldn't he be the emperor himself.

Most of the soldiers and horses in the world have obeyed him, and the prestige of the court is also very high. If he wants to succeed to the throne, even if the crown prince is still alive, I am afraid he will not be able to fight him.

It's just a moment, such a simple thought, and there is a deep suspicion among the two monarchs and ministers.

However, he was very deep in the city, and he didn't let Li Xuan see a little of his thoughts, so he just walked up to Yu Chaoen and kicked him to the ground:

"I treat you well, you are arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, I remember your past merits, and I forgive them one by one. Unexpectedly, it is really a crime to let you covet the throne, which is really a crime to punish the nine clans. ”

After speaking, he showed unbearable feelings: "Alas, it's okay." Remembering that you served me with all your heart, and I didn't want to be angry with your people, I left you a whole corpse and gave you to kill yourself. All other rebels will be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Meng Haiyuan stood aside, listening to this, he only felt that this punishment was too light, not only did he not punish the Nine Clans, but he also gave him suicide, didn't encourage others to follow suit? This is not a good thing for the management of the forbidden army in the future.

He didn't know that Li Yu had his own plans.

Since Taishi Gong wrote "Historical Records", the more virtuous the monarch, the more he cares about the reputation he has left to future generations. Li Yu is no exception, since the rebellion has been quelled, as long as Yu Chaoen is dead, this matter will be completely over, as for whether he is Ling Chi or cannon, it doesn't matter. On the contrary, it gave the reputation of a benevolent monarch who committed suicide. It is not so much that some people in the wild history say that he treated the virtuous ministers harshly and forced King Mu and Zheng Guogong to rebel.

Li Yu raised his head and said to the soldiers with open arms: "It is precisely because of the loyal army that the foundation of my Tang Dynasty will not be destroyed." Today, in terms of meritorious deeds, all the soldiers who participated in the counterinsurgency will be promoted to one level. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they all knelt down in unison: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

In a long night, the buildings of the Taiji Palace, mostly wooden structures, a fire ignited, illuminating all parts of the palace, fortunately, the distance between the palaces is large, so as not to let the entire Taiji Palace branch be wiped out.

After the counterinsurgency soldiers cleared the entire palace of rebels, they helped the water dragon team extinguish the fire and put the wounded in place, and then began to deal with the bloodstains, bones and remains of the body, and clean up the burned palace.

Since the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Taiji Palace has not had such a tragic scene. The corpses piled up, and the cleansed blood flowed into the back garden, staining the entire Lake Aoba into Lake Akaba.

However, after the sun rises, Chang'an will be a busy day again.

In the Linzhao Palace, the people led by Ma Xuewen also left after cleaning up all the rebels.

Li Xuan propped his head and sat alone at the table in a daze.

Yan Zhen took a bowl of qi-replenishing decoction, walked over and said: "Your Highness is also tired today, drink a bowl of decoction to replenish qi and blood, hurry up and rest, if you consume it again, beware that your body can't support it." I knew the technique of opening the formation a long time ago, and now I even know the location of the entrance. Everything is in order, and there is no rush for the rest of the matter. Your Highness, don't spend it......"

Li Xuan was motionless, still thinking quietly.

"Your Highness is thinking about Li Bingshizi's affairs? This time, Yu Chaoen didn't succeed, and your planning was in vain. ”

He smiled wryly: "Don't worry, it's still a long time." And after knowing that King Xiang privately led the troops of the three states, I have a new plan, which is more secure than the previous one. Now I'm just waiting for one person to return to Beijing......"

"Jingle Bell...... Jingle ...... Jingle ...... Jingle ......"

A black-haired mule carrying a white-clothed scribe shook and shook to the entrance of the "Mingde Gate" in Chang'an City.

The mule's pace seemed to be much more leisurely than that of an ordinary horse.

The owner of this mule, with his hands and swords, is also filled with a lazy wind. On a chic white dark striped bamboo leaf robe, there is a listless face. Even though his eyebrows were black, his eyes were bright, and his pupils were dark and light purple, it was difficult to hide his lazy appearance.

Seeing that the gate was closed, there were still people on duty on the city tower, and there were some other flat-headed people at the gate, he whispered and wondered: "But from Chinese New Year's Eve to Shangyuan Festival, there is no curfew? Why did you lock the city gate again today? It seems that you have to wait here for an hour." ”

He took the mule, found a secluded place, turned over, patted the black mule's head gently, and said, "After a day and a night's journey, I am also sleepy, and you are also sleepy, so let's sleep here for a while." ”

The mule seemed to understand human speech, and obediently curled up in a ball, and fell asleep on the grass with his eyes closed.

The white-robed scribe also rested on the mule's back, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"When you can sleep, sleep more...... I don't know what trouble Li Bing has caused again, let me clean up the aftermath......"

-- At the end of the fourth volume --
