Lin'an Mansion, the eastern foot of Phoenix Mountain, the palace is inside.

The flat brick masonry, about 100 feet high, completely separates the secular from the temple.

The courtiers of the Son of Heaven who were entrenched in high positions in the palace also seemed to be cut off by this high wall, and they endlessly issued one decree after another from the city gate all year round, ruling the world, but they never showed compassion for the people.

The suffering of the world is learned from the heavens, but the palace is gone.

The galloping horse approached a hundred meters away from the palace gate, and the soldiers guarding the palace had already been waiting for the battle, as if facing a great enemy. The spear stood upright, like a row of sharp thorns, waiting for me, a man who did not know the height of the sky, and rushed to the imperial city.

"Phew!"

Thirty meters from the city gate, I reined in the horse's rope and turned over and dismounted.

A group of soldiers came forward to surround me, and one of them flashed his sword and shouted, "Who is so bold as to dare to trespass on Ouchi." ”

I said, "I want to see the emperor!"

"Presumptuous!" he yelled at me almost reflexively, and scolded me sharply, "Ninety-five Supreme, how can you be a flat-headed common man who can see you when you say it?! Get out!"

If you don't see it, you can see it.

For the sake of Xiao Yue, I can be crushed to pieces, and how can I be afraid to break into the palace once.

"Zheng!"

Kuro's sword was unsheathed, and the brilliant gems glittered in the sunlight.

The soldier was suddenly stunned, he stared at the short sword in my hand, as if he had been struck by lightning, he shook his wit violently, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

A group of soldiers looked at each other, their faces were dazed, but they didn't dare to hesitate for half a minute, they knelt on the ground one after another, and shouted to me, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Even if I have been a martial arts alliance leader for such a long time, I have never seen such a formation.

A group of unattainable guards of the Imperial City in armor actually kowtowed to me in unison, and the mountain shouted long live.

I was so frightened by them that my mind went blank and I didn't know what to do. I said, "You, you don't have to be so polite. ”

The soldier who knelt on the ground first raised his head, stared at the Jiulang sword, and said sneeringly, "Seeing the Son of Heaven wearing a sword, it is like a saint coming in person." The small ones don't dare to make times. With that, he stood up cautiously and looked at Jiurou Sword with a respectful face.

"Do you mean this sword?" I asked, holding up the Kurou sword.

Before the group of people could all stand up, when they saw me raise the Jiulang sword, their faces changed suddenly, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground again. I put away my swords again, and they stood up cautiously again, looking terrified.

I thought it was amusement for a moment, and I raised the Jiurou sword again and again, and a group of people knelt down and stood up in front of me, and after a few times, they were exhausted. A soldier begged for mercy again and again, "My lord, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, so let's spare us." ”

I said, "Take me to the emperor!"

The soldier hurriedly shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't dare." The adults also ask to inform the name, and the villain will report according to the rules, and the lord will ask the saint for instructions. ”

I didn't

thought that it was so troublesome to meet the emperor. I was worried about Xiaoyue, but I had to ask the man and say, "I'm sorry for you." ”

2、

Lin'an Mansion Song Dynasty Palace, palaces and pavilions, row upon row, red walls and golden tiles, this is the unique majesty of the royal family.

The eunuch hurriedly ran from the deep palace and told the soldiers guarding the door that there was a decree in the saint to pass on the decree of the Marquis of Ji Dan Bingqin Palace.

The eunuch led the way, and the soldiers followed, all the way to the outside of the Qinzheng Palace.

The pink-faced and high-pitched eunuch said to me indifferently, "You wait here. With that, he walked into the temple.

"Your Majesty, Ji Danbing is outside the palace. ”

"Pass him in. ”

After a while, the eunuch came out again with broken steps, and said to me, "Go in." ”

As I was about to enter the door, he suddenly reached out and stopped me. I asked, "What else?"

He slapped his palms and said, "Leave the blade behind." ”

I was so disgusted by this man that I pushed him away and strode in. He hurriedly followed, shouting sharply, "Bold maniac, dare to bring a murder weapon to the driver." Come on, come on!"

By the time he caught up with me, I was already standing in front of Zhao Gou. He put pen to paper, I don't know what was written, and when he saw me breaking in, he couldn't help but look up.

Next to the table, a graceful figure stood one by one, wearing a long red skirt and swinging without wind. She smiled at me, as soft as water, that was Lou Qin, who once made me miss and rely on, and now she has accompanied the king and become the emperor's woman.

No, I was wrong. She has always been the emperor's woman.

Zhao Gou waved his hand at the eunuch and said, "Go down." ”

The eunuch hesitated slightly, but he didn't dare to disobey Zhao Gou's will, so he quickly nodded and slowly retreated.

Lou Qin walked quickly to my side, stroked my face with her slender hand, and said softly, "It seems that I have lost a lot of weight." I'm afraid I've suffered a lot. ”

At that moment, a strong feeling of soreness rushed from my heart to the tip of my nose. Her words were like a soft knife that cut the last trace of strength in my heart.

Tears almost swept away my eyes.

Zhao Gou coughed lightly twice, revealing a hint of displeasure. Lou Qin turned his head and glared at him, he smiled and said, "Uh, that soup is a little salty." ”

I endured the bitterness in my heart and said to Lou Qin, "I'm fine." Don't worry about me. ”

Lou Qin was stunned, smiled faintly, and said, "I've grown up." ”

I'm afraid that if I continue to talk to Lou Qin, I really can't help but cry. I hurriedly turned my head and said to Zhao Gou, "Your Majesty, I want to ask you for something." ”

Zhao Gou put down the pen casually, his face was light and light, and he didn't seem to take me seriously. He said, "Let's talk about it first." ”

I said, "I want to beg you to let someone go." She should still be in prison in Dali Temple. ”

"Should it?" Zhao Gou smiled disdainfully and said, "You ask."

Before I do, I should get things straight. ”

I said, "I don't have time to look for it, and I don't have the ability to go to the prison of Dali Temple." ”

Zhao Gou said, "You tell me what is the name of the person you are talking about. ”

I said, "Her name is Satsuki." ”

"Xiaoyue!" Lou Qin exclaimed, "What's wrong with her? Why is she in prison in Dali Temple?"

I said, "Two months ago, she assassinated Qin Hui"

"Smack!"

As soon as I spoke, Zhao Gou trembled, his arm touched the paperweight on the table, and the paperweight fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.

The panic passed in an instant, and Zhao Gou regained his composure, but his expression looked much more gloomy than before. He said, "Do you know that assassinating the prime minister of the dynasty is a capital crime!"

I said, "I know. But you're the emperor!"

Zhao Gou's expression was even more gloomy, and he said coldly, "Just because I am the emperor, I can't accommodate the thief." ”

I said "She's not a thief, she's just"

Zhao Gou took out a volume from a large stack of chapters, slowly unfolded it, and said, "Xiao Yingru secretly funded the Shuangdaomen, colluded with the world, and cultivated power for him. Rebellion is a heinous and grave crime!"

I hurriedly explained, "He didn't know, and Satsuki didn't know." ”

Lou Qin also helped me explain, "I have seen that woman Xiaoyue before, and she is quite familiar, her heart is not in the government and the opposition, and it is impossible for her to have any ambitions. ”

Zhao Gou frowned and looked at Lou Qin, but his voice was very soft, "You don't know the reason at all, so don't worry about it." ”

This sentence seemed to anger Lou Qin, she snorted and said, "I just have to take care of it, you just tell me, do you want to let it go or not?"

Zhao Gou slowly closed the concerto, waved his hand, threw the recital fold in front of me, and said, "Take a look." I can actually call the shots about this?"

Lou Qin grabbed me and picked up the fold, she held her palm, read it, and suddenly frowned, as if she had found something wrong, turned the fold over and over again for a long time, and asked, "You haven't approved?"

Zhao Gou glanced at me, hesitated for a moment, but still sighed, and said, "Chop first and then play, what is there to approve?"

Lou Qin's hand was thumped, and I felt a chill inexplicably.

I could see that the moment the two people in front of me looked at each other, there was a deep helplessness. But I still refused to give up, I knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Zhao Gou like worshiping a god, I begged him, "You let Xiaoyue go, just watch me help you for your sake"

"Shut up!" Zhao Gou got up in a panic, he winked at me, and said, "I, when have I been helped by you." You don't talk nonsense. With that, he gave me another look.

I glanced at Lou Qin, my heart was bright, and I said more firmly and loudly, "I was in Fengzhu Town outside Lin'an City"

"I, I've decided

Give it a try!" Zhao Gou hurriedly interrupted me, the panic on his face even greater.

Lou Qin squinted at Zhao Gou and asked, "What the hell is in your heart, is there something hidden from me?"

I sneered. Seeing Lou Qin is really the weakness of his chest.

Zhao Gou walked up to Lou Qin with a smile, put his arm around her shoulders, and said with a smile, "How could I hide it from you." I have no reservations before you. ”

Lou Qin glanced at him and said, "I'm too lazy to ask you." She turned around and helped me up again, saying, "Don't worry about Xiaoyue's affairs, there will definitely be a way." ”

I nodded heavily. Thinking of Xiao Yue in my heart, I felt a deep sense of guilt. But now I have no other way but to wait, I can only hope that Xiaoyue can come back safely, and then I will take her away and leave these rights and wrongs forever.

Stay away from all these distractions!

I said to Zhao Gou, "I don't want this martial arts alliance leader." ”

"What?!You say it again!" Zhao Gou's face suddenly turned gloomy, he stared at me deadly, his eyes were like knives, those were a pair of eyes that wanted to kill. My heart froze, but I still said word by word, "This martial arts alliance master, I don't want it anymore!"

Zhao Gou's cheeks twitched twice, and he said heavily, "I'm not sure!"

I had made up my mind, and I had never been so adamant in my life. Whether he is allowed or not, is it a matter of what I care about?

I said, "I can't be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance." I've brought too much disaster to this world. ”

Zhao Gou turned his back, pondered for a moment, and said softly, "Qin'er, can you let me talk to him alone?"

Lou Qin frowned, I could see the worry on her face, her mouth just opened, but she slowly closed it without making a sound. I want to ask her what's wrong?" she shook her head slowly, patted me on the shoulder, and turned around and walked out of the Qinzheng Palace.

In the huge palace, there was silence.

I looked at Zhao Gou's back and inexplicably felt a wave of fear.

He is the emperor who rules the world. The bright yellow robe is embroidered with the pattern of the dragon soaring in the sea, symbolizing his supreme authority of wealth and power.

"Do you know, why do I want you to be the leader of this martial arts alliance?" Zhao Gou's voice was low and powerful, giving people a sense of shock and intimidation without anger.

I said, "I don't know." ”

Zhao Gou sighed, this breath was long and gentle, revealing the emperor's helplessness.

Why is he helpless?

Is there a corner of the world that his power cannot touch?

He said, "This river and lake have never been under my control. ”

I didn't know how to answer, but looking at his back, I suddenly realized that I had never known this man. And at this moment, he became completely different from the domineering Zhao Gou I had seen before.

I listened to him quietly.

He said, "In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin people surrounded Tokyo. At that time, I was ordered by the emperor to be the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and led the soldiers and horses of Hebei to raise troops and serve as kings. vast

An army of 100,000 rushed to Tokyo. I led an army of 2,000 vanguards, but before I was halfway there, I received an urgent report from the rear, saying that the 100,000-strong army had run away with less than 20,000. Do you understand my anger and helplessness?"

The question was loud and full of anger. I shook my head slowly. He turned his back as if he saw me, and said, "Of course you don't understand." I had no choice but to move to the Daimyo's Mansion and to Dongping Mansion. In the second year of Jingkang, Tokyo was broken by the Jinren. In the following year, in order to support the Great Song Dynasty, I had to rely on the people of the rivers and lakes. These people helped me expel the Jin people, and I ascended to the throne again with the support of the Taizu lineage. However, those hateful Jianghu people never put me in their eyes, they believed that they were meritorious, some asked me for money, some asked me for officials, and even those monks asked me to canonize them as Zen orthodoxy, and that hateful Bai Jingxing......"

Bai Jingxing!

When I heard the name, my heart trembled. Because, I heard full of hatred in Zhao Gou's gritted teeth.

I said, "Bai Jingxing has always asked the major sects not to oppose the imperial court, he, he has done a good job." ”

Zhao Gou turned around suddenly, his eyes were like torches, and he said, "Okay?!!, where is it good?!, relying on his strong martial arts, he regards the palace wall as nothing, and walks on the wall, coming and going freely. I had fun with my concubines at night, and he would lie on the roof and drink, but I didn't know it...... It's just, it's blasphemous!"

This is indeed what Bai Jingxing did.

I said, "At least he kept the river, and I made a mess of it." ”

Zhao Gou laughed and said, "You did a good job." If Bai Jingxing could be like you, he wouldn't be dead. ”

What does this mean?

I was bewildered and shocked. What he meant by his words was that Bai Jingxing's death was not an accident?!

I suddenly remembered Bai Jingxing's abnormal behavior on the night of Lu You's wedding. Could it all be for a reason?

Zhao Gou's eyes lit up and said, "Not bad." I wanted him to die. When he handed over the joint recitals of the various sects to me, I said that unless there is no alliance leader in this river and lake, there can be no rivers and lakes outside the government and the opposition. Unexpectedly, he committed suicide. But I'm happy with the result. ”

My mind was already blank. Thinking of the scene of Bai Jingxing's death, I have been faintly confused for many years, with his martial arts, even if he is drunk, he will not fall off the roof. Even if you fall, you can't choke on your own vomit. It's kind of weird.

Now, it all makes sense.

Before I knew it, I was clenching my fists. I said, "You forced Bai Jingxing to death!"

"But, why do you want me to be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance?!" I continued to ask.

Zhao Gou sighed and said, "Because...... I can trust you. ”

Trust me?!

He doesn't even trust Bai Jingxing, how can he trust me?!

I'm no longer the ignorant teenager I'm looking at.

I sneered

"You don't trust me." You think you can control me. Therefore, you sent Liu Wufeng to control me at all times, and sent so many guards to monitor me in the Wulin League, and ......"

I pondered for a moment, but still said the name heavily, "Su Hongsleeve!"

Zhao Gou was stunned, a trace of killing intent flashed, and he said to me coldly, "How do you know?"

Sure enough!

Zhao Gou lowered his head and laughed, he pointed to my nose, and said with a smile, "Ji Danbing, Ji Danbing!" I thought you didn't understand anything, I thought you could be used by me and become a powerful assistant for me to control the rivers and lakes...... Ha ha...... I really underestimated you. ”

I said, "Not an assistant...... It's a chess piece!"

Zhao Gou was stunned, smiled even more happily, and said, "Not bad, not bad." But I still need you. As long as you promise me to continue to be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, I will give you everything you want. ”

I said, "I don't want anything." I can't do anything, I'm just going to make a mess of the rivers and lakes. ”

Zhao Gou smiled and said, "What I want is chaos! The more chaotic the rivers and lakes, the more stable my heart will be." If they were united, I wouldn't be able to sleep. Do you understand?"

I said, "But the world has rebelled!"

Zhao Gou waved his hand and said, "I already know this. That's why Gao Meng deliberately leaked the news to you, so that you could force them to show up before they were fully prepared, so as to uproot this group of people. You're doing a great job!"

Gao Meng!

It turned out that he was also a royal man.

I felt even more bitter in my heart, and I began to laugh at myself incessantly, laughing at myself for being such a fool, self-righteous and planning everything, and in the end I didn't know that I was also a piece on someone else's chessboard.

Even the best brother I have always trusted is actually with Chen Boyang, openly helping me, but secretly only thinking about how to pull me down from the seat of the leader of the martial arts alliance.

This is too complicated.

I kept shaking my head and I said, "I'm leaving." I don't want it, I don't want anything anymore. ”

Zhao Gou's eyes were cold, and he was very threatening, and said heavily, "You don't want anything, including that woman!"

Moon!

I felt bitter in my heart. I said, "I'm going to take Satsuki away, and I beg you to let Satsuki go." ”

Zhao Gou said, "How can you have both fish and bear's paws?!"

"Then I have to fight with my life to break into Dali Temple once!" I don't ask him anymore, and he is no longer worth asking for at this moment. I stared at him coldly and said, "If you can't escape from the rivers and lakes with your loved ones, then I will go with her to Huangquan Road to find peace!"
