"His Royal Highness the Ten Princes. "Your Highness the Tenth Prince, you have come at a very timely time. "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life. ”

............

When the ministers saw that it was Wen Yanzheng and knew that they were saved, they knelt down on their knees from the bottom of their hearts to express their gratitude to the Ten Princes.

Wen Yan was very useful to the words of the ministers, smiled and pressed his hands weakly, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be polite, please get up quickly. Today, the four emperor brothers held a banquet here, in fact, they wanted to take you as hostages, trying to force their father to abdicate and do great rebellion. As soon as the king learned the news, he rushed to the rescue, but fortunately he came in time, and the adults were frightened. ”

"What, the Four Princes are so bold!" "I have long known that the Four Princes have evil intentions, but I don't want to really dare to rebel. "The fourth prince is afraid that he has lost his mind and is crazy, and he has such a nonsensical dream. ”

............

When the ministers heard the news, they were very shocked, and immediately talked about it, and used all their vulgar words to curse the fourth prince, Wen Yanlie.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be excited, this king will enter the palace and enter the king. It's just that I want to temporarily wronged the ministers and take refuge here, and I will leave my own soldiers to protect me from harming you again. What do you think, adults?" Wen Yan was calming the crowd and telling his plan.

"Just do what His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince wants. "We listen to you, Your Highness. "Your Highness, just rest assured, we will not become a worry for Your Highness." ”

............

Wen Yanzheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, this king will enter the palace, and your lords will wait here for this king to come back." After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the gate of Yihong Courtyard without hesitation.

Out of the gate, Wen Yanzheng did not leave directly, but stood on the stone bridge, silent, as if thinking about something.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the corpses lying in the street gradually became puffy and pale under the rain. Several large rats emerged from the gutter, their heads swinging from side to side, looking around alertly. When they found the bodies on the street, they rushed over in a hurry. Secretly pick up the severed fingers, ears and other parts, and gnaw them.

It's been a long time since I've eaten so well, and the rats get carried away and don't care where the food comes from. After a hearty meal, the greedy rats dragged the larger stumps back to the cave for storage. The rats worked together and dragged with difficulty, and although the speed was slow, it was not long before they reached the edge of the ditch.

Suddenly, the rats' bodies convulsed inexplicably, twitching constantly, and their two long front teeth shook incessantly with their heads. After a few breaths, the rat's shaking gradually slowed down, and then it lay on the ground on all fours and died. The soldier who was sorting out the corpse next to him walked to the edge of the ditch, saw the dead mouse under his feet, cursed secretly, and kicked the mouse into the ditch with a random kick, and then the dead mouse was washed away along the blood in the ditch.

Ye Guanlan put the spear behind his back, took the oil-paper umbrella from the hands of the Ten Princes' personal soldiers, walked onto the stone bridge, stood behind Wen Yanzheng, and held it open for him.

"Your Highness, there is something unclear about your subordinates, and I hope Your Highness will solve your doubts. ”

Wen Yan was looking at the end of the street, did not look back, and said lightly: "What's the matter?"

Ye Guanlan said: "Your Highness, since the ministers have been saved, it is better to let them go back to their homes, why continue to let them stay here, isn't it more dangerous?"

Wen Yanzheng suddenly chuckled, turned his head, glanced at Ye Guanlan deeply, and said, "Master Yemen, make the best use of your talents and make the best use of your resources." These ministers and four emperor brothers can't use it, so this king will borrow flowers and offer Buddha, isn't it also a wonderful thing. ”

"Offering Buddha?" Ye Guanlan was puzzled and asked, "I don't know where the Buddha Your Highness said?"

Wen Yanzheng didn't answer, but looked at the south with great excitement and expectation.

Ye Guanlan followed Wen Yanzheng's gaze, the south is where the imperial city is located, who is the Buddha, naturally there is no need to say more, and he vaguely guessed in his heart at the moment. He continued: "Your Highness, when will we leave?"

As soon as the words were asked, there was a rapid "da-da" sound at the end of the street, and a horse and a man were galloping in the rain, and they had come to the door of Yihong Courtyard in a short time. Immediately, a soldier skillfully turned over and dismounted, walked to Wen Yanzheng, knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists, and said, "Your Highness, the Guangde Gate has been broken." ”

Wen Yan nodded, as if he was a little surprised, and said, "Oh? It's faster than I thought." He turned to Ye Guanlan and said, "Master Yemen, leave your disciples here to protect the minister, take the others and let's go." ”

"Yes!" Ye Guanlan immediately ordered.

Soon, Wen Yanzheng and his party left Yihong Courtyard in a mighty manner and disappeared on the way to Guangdemen.

..................

Outside the Changning Palace, an old eunuch of sixty or seventy years old held a brightly colored snow fox skin shawl in his hand, and staggered out of the Changning Palace. In front of him was a man in his forties. The man wore a purple and gold crown of double dragon beads, a five-clawed golden dragon robe printed with the sun and moon coat of arms, and a pair of jade boots.

The sword-like eyebrows flew obliquely into a few strands of black hair under the corner of his sideburns, and with the majesty of a god and the innate nobility of his body, the whole person emitted a kind of king aura that shocked the world. The man stood in front of the door of Changning Palace, stunned as he watched the pouring rain.

The old eunuch slowly walked behind the man, put a thick and warm shawl on the man's shoulder, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, it is raining quite heavily outside, and it is damp and cold. It's better to go back to the temple to rest early, and it's important to take care of the dragon's body. ”

Since this man has been made His Majesty, there is no doubt that he must be Wen Daiyu, the emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. If Liu Buxiu and the others are here, I am afraid they will be surprised. At this time, Wen Daiyu's face was ruddy, his breath was even, and he looked like he was dying soon.

Wen Daiyu tightened the snow fox shawl to his body with both hands, closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and said, "Emperor Lao, the sooner I die, the more I can feel the warmth of father and son in this world." I'm afraid my two princes are now rushing to my knees in front of my dragon coffin to wipe their tears. ”

The old eunuch, who was called the emperor, grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and his face was furrowed, like a walnut shell, and said leisurely: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the old slave only cares about His Majesty, and the old slave doesn't have the heart to take care of other things." ”

Wen Daiyu smiled, turned his face to look at the emperor, and scolded: "You old guy, you are still the same flamboyant tongue after so many years." ”

The emperor smiled, leaned over, stepped aside, and did not refute silently.

Wen Daiyu put away his smile, looked at Di'anmen in the distance, his voice gradually became cold, and asked, "Emperor Lao, who do you say will arrive first?"

The emperor arched his body, the coldness in his eyes seemed to be able to freeze the rain curtain, touched his ears with his hand, and asked calmly: "Your Majesty, the old slave is old, and he has some ears behind his ears. I don't know who Your Majesty is asking will die first?"

When Wen Daiyu heard this, his body shook suddenly, and then he quickly returned to normal.

"The life and death of the royal family is so insignificant from your mouth. ”

"Your Majesty, don't forget that you are standing here and sighing. The emperor paused, and said in an aggravated tone, "Because you are the last one to survive." ”

Wen Daiyu's pupils shrank, obviously the last reminder of the emperor touched him a lot. His expression suddenly darkened, and he seemed to age by more than ten years in an instant. Wen Daiyu turned around slowly, no longer looking at the rain scene, and said a little weakly: "I'm tired, I want to rest." ”

As he spoke, he stepped into the Changning Palace, followed by the emperor.

..................

Liu Buxiu, who left Guangde Gate, did not dare to delay for a moment, and the wind under his feet passed through Antai Gate, Noon Gate, and Shenwu Gate in turn. Along the way, the four princes Wen Yanlie and others were not found, but they fell in front of the door one by one, and the miserable guards proved that they had come.

Seeing these soldiers who died tragically, Liu Buxiu and the others did not dare to stay and continued to march towards Di'anmen.

Not long after walking through the Shenwu Gate, he heard the sonorous sound of sparse swords colliding from the Di'an Gate in front of him. Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts were overjoyed, knowing that they had finally caught up. Don't say much at the moment, take three steps and make two steps, and rush to the ground.

When Liu Buxiu and the others came to Di'anmen, they saw the dead soldiers of the four princes and the evil warriors attacking Di'anmen. The corpses dressed by the forbidden army at the gate have been piled up more than one person high, and only a dozen or so of the remaining forbidden soldiers are struggling to support themselves by the narrowness of Di'anmen, but they are obviously exhausted by oil and lamps, and they are only supported by a single faith.

The fourth prince didn't seem to be in a hurry, turning the jade wrench on his thumb, and there was a calmness on his face that he was holding the chance of victory. When he heard the chaotic footsteps behind him, he just turned his head and glanced at it, not caring at all, and continued to watch his men slaughter the remaining forbidden troops like a playful slaughter. Beside the four princes, there are two people, a man and a woman, the male is the sworn enemy of Wanshiwu and others, the goat poplar steward, and the female is the top brand of Yihong Courtyard with all kinds of charms.

Liu Fang heard the screams of the forbidden army under the Di'an Gate, and couldn't bear it, so she stabbed Liu with her elbow and begged: "Brother, save them." ”

Liu Buxiu shook his head and sighed: "They are already mortal people, and they can't be saved." When the people saw such an act of playing with human life, their hearts were already filled with anger, and they drew their weapons one after another, waiting for orders.

Steward Yang originally looked calm and did not panic because of the arrival of Liu Buxiu and others, but when his eyes swept to Zheng Da and Yao Yu, his face suddenly became a little strange, and he said in a strange manner: "Who is here in my Dao, it turns out to be the head of the Qianji Sect and his wife, and they are both commanding the loss without injustice." ”

When Zheng Da saw Steward Yang, a nameless fire rose in his heart, and he said angrily: "Yang Baoqiang! How could you become an evil martial artist for your dignified generation of gambling kings? Back then, you and I exterminated the evil martial arts together, and you also told me that your parents were killed by the evil martial arts, and you hated to drink their blood and eat their flesh, why did you fall to the point of cultivating evil today?"

In the face of Zheng Da's questioning, Steward Yang did not look remorseful at all, but said hatefully: "Since that battle, I have lost all my skills. But I don't want to be the so-called righteous person I helped back then, and when my martial arts were exhausted, he humiliated my wife to death in front of me, and she still had my unborn child in her womb. You ask me why?!"

Steward Yang smiled miserably, snorted coldly, and said loudly: "What bullshit, what evil alliance, it's really ridiculous." Only strength and power are the immutable laws of this world, and can you give me these? I begged my grandfather to ask my grandmother for help, and what did I get?

Steward Yang looked up to the sky and shouted: "You teach me how to mourn!"
