Dolgon took the brocade in Xiao Yan's hand, unfolded it, and silently read it. I saw www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion that his face was getting more and more solemn, and when he arrived, his face was already full of sadness. After a while, he put down the brocade and ordered in a loud voice: "Set off and return to Beijing." ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole army was in an uproar, and the adjutant hurriedly said: "Erbeile, we have come here thousands of miles away, and we have lost our troops and lost our generals, but we have not built a large number of achievements, so will we go back?"

Dolgon said with a dark face: "Pass my order, on the way back, give me a lot of looting, money, food, women, you can rob as much as you can." If you resist, you will be killed!"

When the adjutant heard this, he was reassured. He knew that this soldier was a hard soldier to march and fight, and that it was this kind of plundering errand that he usually looked forward to. Therefore, Dorgon gave this order, and the soldiers' complaints and discontents would surely subside. So he began to arrange and ordered the heralds to pass the order, and sure enough, after a short time, the whole army cheered, and everyone smiled.

Xiao Bei wanted to step forward to stop it, but Zhang Zhinan stopped him and said: "Most of the people have already abandoned the village and fled along the way, and the Qing army can't do much evil." Let them go. Xiao Bei thought that this was right, so he let the Qing army step forward and drag away the dead and wounded, and then retreated like a tide.

After an hour, the Qing army finally retreated cleanly, and the vast wilderness was empty, and the birds were silent, only the cold wind blew the clothes of the three people, and made the sound of hunting.

Xiao Bei looked at Xiao Yan, puzzled in his heart, his brows tightened, and after a long time, he hesitated and said, "I...... I've seen you. ”

Xiao Yan smiled: "I've seen you too." ”

Xiao Bei thought about it again and said, "You ...... Saved me, when I was very young. ”

Xiao Yan was still smiling and said, "Yes, I saved you, when you were young." ”

After saying this, the two were silent, and after a while, Xiao Bei spoke again: "What about Min Shi? ”

"It's good, but she doesn't want to see you, but maybe it won't be long before she cries and shouts to come to you. Xiao Yan blinked.

"You...... Is it the person from the Sword Roaring Palace...... What are you here for?" Xiao Xiao continued to ask.

"I'm from the Sword Scream Palace, but even the Palace Master of the Sword Screaming Palace doesn't know the true purpose of my visit. Xiao Yan suddenly stood up straight, with a solemn expression on his face, and said in a sincere tone, "I give you a piece of advice, no matter what happens in the future, you can only grasp the present, and never try to change what has happened." ”

"In the future...... Now...... What do you mean, where are you from?" Xiao said urgently.

"You'll find out soon. Xiao Yan turned around and made a gesture to leave.

"Wait!" Zhang Zhinan, who had been watching coldly and not saying a word just now, suddenly said, "Where did the Qing Decree in your hand come from? But in just one hour, you can't go back and forth between the two countries in Qingming, is it possible that you can't do witchcraft?"

"This thing...... It was already on me. Xiao Yan hesitated slightly, but still replied. Then he didn't delay any longer, and his body turned into a cloud of black smoke and drifted away.

Xiao Jie and Zhang Zhinan each had their own hearts, stood on the wilderness, and did not leave for a long time. Suddenly, there was a sound of tapping in the distance, and the two followed the sound, only to see a white colt running back and forth in the mountains not far away, it was estimated that it was the Qing army war horse that had escaped in fright just now, and now the owner left, and it could not find a home, so it ran around like a headless fly.

Xiao Bei looked at it for a while, and if he realized, he heard Zhang Zhinan say: "Let's go!" Then the two jumped up, climbed over the Great Wall, and walked towards Beijing.

——————————————————————————

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the tenth day of the lunar month, Chenshi, the Forbidden City, above the Jinluan Palace.

Chongzhen sat high on the dragon chair, his face pale and haggard. Under his knees, Princess Changping sat on a small chair, with a pair of big eyes, looking east and west, obviously in good spirits.

Hundreds of civil and military officials were lined up on both sides, and in the center stood Xiao Jie and Hong Yan.

Chongzhen made a gesture to the old eunuch beside him and said, "Father-in-law, let's make an announcement!"

Father-in-law Naping made a gesture, held a brocade in his hand, walked to the throne, coughed, and said, "The holy decree has arrived!" The civil and military forces of the whole dynasty bowed down, and the wild goose understood, and as soon as Xiao was cheap, the two also knelt on the hall together. That Ping is fair: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Hongmeng Sword Sect's eldest disciple Hongyan, when the Bingzi Rebellion occurred, regardless of his own safety, saved the lives of Queen Zhou and many county lords. Later, he rescued the emperor and Princess Changping in the tunnel of the hunting palace, and made great contributions, and now I am named the saint of the dynasty to protect the country, and the official is the same as the second grade. With that, he smiled, handed the holy decree to Hong Yan, and said, "Holy Maiden, congratulations." ”

Hong Yan smiled, stepped forward to take the holy decree, and said in a soft voice: "Thank you, Lord Longen!"

Gonggong Ping then took out another holy decree and read it: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: When the Bingzi Rebellion occurred, Wudang rebelled against Li Daoyi and connected with King Jing internally, and he was a thief outside, intending to rebel. Fortunately, Lu Guanzhong, the third disciple of the Hongmeng Sword Sect, was witty and decisive, took the lead bravely, thwarted the rebel conspiracy, protected the emperor and Princess Changping, and made the culprits Li Daoyi and Zhu Xuan ambushed. The emperor's holy grace is vast, and the disposition is as follows: Lu Tongtian, the head of the Xichuan Gongyi family, was awarded the title of Marquis, and the title of the saint is protected. Lu Guanzhong was awarded the title of viscount, and his title was loyal and brave. And give marriage to the daughters of the King of Qin, Haoyue and Lu Guanzhong, hoping that the two families will be good for eternity and have a long blessing. King Jing was unforgivable for his involvement in the rebellion, and he was now reduced to a commoner and was not allowed to enter the ancestral hall after his death. The rest of the people will not be held accountable. ”

At this time, Lu Guanzhong and Lu Tongtian were not present, Haoyue stepped forward, Ying Ying bowed, took the holy decree, her face was flushed, and she said shyly: "Thank you...... Lord Ron. ”

Then Father-in-law Ping turned to Xiao Cheap and said: "Xiao Bei, as the emperor's imperial guard, actually neglected his duties and left his post without permission, causing the emperor to be in danger, and you should have been punished for dereliction of duty, but you taught two good apprentices." Even if your merits and demerits are offset, the official is in his original position. ”

Xiao Bei didn't defend either, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

"There is also Jiang Xuan, the chief soldier of Datong, who bravely killed the enemy, and with 10,000 Datong defenders, resisted the invasion of 100,000 Qing soldiers, and his achievements were covered by a thousand years. Pinggong continued.

"Hahaha, the bird's nest and the black magpie, the court is full of altars. Fortunately, I have nothing to worry about, otherwise I would have knelt on the ground like you and suffered such a bird breath, I was afraid that I would vomit blood and die on the spot. Xiao Bei's ears came from Zhang Zhinan's mocking voice.

"Alas, don't say it, it's good that Hongyan has been crowned a saintess who protects the country, otherwise I would have left a long time ago. Xiao Bei complained.

"Okay, now the reward has been completed, you are flat, there is something to play, and there is nothing to retreat. Chongzhen said.

At this moment, Lu Biao suddenly walked out of the queue, took a deep look at Chongzhen, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen still has important things to report." ”

After this difficulty, Chongzhen has already become a frightened bird, and when he heard the report of something important, he was worried and said, "What is the matter with Aiqing?"

Lu Biao said loudly: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, under the guidance of the Hongyan Fairy, three traitors were recently caught in Gyeonggi. ”

"Hongyan...... Rebel ...... Hearing this, Xiao Bei somehow felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Hongyan, but saw that Hongyan's face was as usual, but his eyelashes fluttered from time to time, as if he was hiding his inner emotions.

"Oh, bring it up and take a look. Chongzhen said happily.

Lu Biao stood up straight, waved his hand to the door, and six brocade guards walked in with three prisoners with their hair and chains.

Xiao Bei looked at it, and a chill descended from the top of his head to his heart.

I saw that these three people were Luo Tiansheng, Guan Chuang.

and Sanlin'er.

The three of them were salivating at the corners of their mouths, looking like crazy, struggling desperately, until the iron chains on their bodies clanged, their big mouths opened, and their white dangling teeth bit at the brocade guard beside them from time to time. The brocade guard's hands were already covered with tooth marks, and blood flowed. But he didn't dare to show cowardice in front of the emperor, so he gritted his teeth and occasionally dodged.

Chongzhen Qi said: "These three people are obviously crazy, how can they be traitors to the party?"

Lu Biao arched his hand and said: "Yesterday, the Hongyan Fairy suddenly came to the Jinyi Wei Mansion and said that she had captured the three brains of the Golden Tiger Head Army, namely the original leader Sanlin'er, the flying insect Luo Tiansheng, and the water and fire to pass through. I wondered in my heart, just because the two of them were trapped in the Heavenly Prison, and Sanlin'er was trapped in a huge block of ice, which should also be buried in the Royal Ice Cellar at that time. But since the fairy spoke, I didn't dare to ignore it, so I picked up my hands and went to the place where the fairy Hongyan pointed out, and when we arrived, we found that the three had been tied together. Luo Guan and the others were bitten by Sanlin'er and were covered in blood, but they were conscious at the time, and at this moment, somehow, they also launched a madness. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura as if from the Nine Hells suddenly descended from the top of the hall, and everyone's hearts seemed to have an ice blade inserted into it, making people tremble.

Before everyone could react, suddenly a red light flashed in front of them, and a man in blue appeared on the main hall, this person was surrounded by scarlet qi, and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes, staring at the wild goose.

The man's voice was as cold as ice, and he said, "Brother and sister, did you do this?"

Hong Yan slowly got up, faced the man, and said in a calm tone: "These three people are all rebels of the imperial court, although you are my husband and brother, but the law is not merciful, I have the responsibility to report it." ”

The man was Zhang Zhinan, his body was full of red qi rolling, like a volcano lurking underground, and said: "You once said that corpse insects can be transmitted through saliva, and once they attack, there is no cure. Now that Uncle Luo and Uncle Guan were bitten by my uncle, did you do it on purpose?"

Xiao Bei's body trembled, and he hurriedly protected Hongyan, and stammered, "Big brother, presumably...... Hong Yan had previously used the parasitic spirit manifestation to dissolve the corpse insects in Sanlin'er's body...... Hence this kind of bite...... Maybe it's fine. ”

Hong Yan shook his head and said, "This corpse insect is already all over Sanlin'er's body, and I have no power to return to the sky. This Luo Guan and the two will definitely end up like Sanlin'er. But these two people are important criminals of the imperial court, and it is not a pity to die. ”

Zhang Zhinan was silent for a moment, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Okay, good! I did a lot of calculations, but I didn't expect to be stabbed in the back by the most trusted person." Hongyan, what is the purpose of your move? "Later, I was already gritting my teeth.

Hong Yan pretended to be panicked, retreated sharply, leaned against Chongzhen's side, and said: "Your Majesty, this person is Zhang Zhinan, the head of the Golden Tiger Head Army, and he is my husband and brother, because I killed my relatives in righteousness, and now I want to hurt me, please make the emperor the master for me!"

Xiao Bei said in a trembling voice: "Sister Yan, why are you like this?"

Hong Yan hesitated slightly in his eyes, but then said in his heart: "I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" So he was ruthless, bit his lip and said: "Who is your sister Yan? You and I did not perform the courtesy of Zhou Gong, so we have no real name." You colluded with the traitorous party and intended to rebel, and I have long since ceased to be your husband. Now that I am the saint who protects the country, I want to only look forward to the emperor. With that, he snuggled up to Chongzhen.

When Xiao Bei heard this, he was like a thunderbolt, like a mourner, and his feet involuntarily took two steps back, muttering: "There is no real name...... Nominal...... The oath of the mountains and the sea between the two of us, the promise of life and death...... How can you ...... So ruthless......" As he spoke, two lines of tears dripped from his eyes, his knees weakened, and he knelt down to Hongyan.

Hong Yan almost bit his lip to blood, but his face was still expressionless, and he said, "You just wag your tail to the emperor now, it's too late." The mistake has been forged and is irreparable. After that, I couldn't help but redden.

Seeing this, Chongzhen said loudly: "The Jinyi Guard Forbidden Army is together, take down these two rebels for me!"

As the words fell, countless soldiers poured in from outside the hall, and dense guards appeared on both sides of the hall in an instant. Everyone was armed with swords and rushed towards Zhang Zhinan and Xiao Bei.

Zhang Zhinan shouted angrily: "Demon girl, I will let you ambush today!" With that, a burst of anger burst out from all over his body, rushing the swarming soldiers to pieces, and then his body suddenly rose and slashed towards the wild goose with one palm.

only heard the sound of "boom", a purple lightning appeared out of thin air, colliding with Zhang Zhinan, Zhang Zhinan was taken aback, his body fell, and he saw Xiao Bei with a miserable face, and his body trembled in front of him.

Zhang Zhi was in a hurry, and said: "Brother Yi, such a ruthless and unrighteous woman who has lost her conscience is still worth your hard work for her?"

Xiao Bei's lips trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Yi, I beg you...... Let go of the wild goose......"

Zhang Zhinan was only so angry that his chest was tight, but seeing that there were more and more soldiers, Xiao Zhi refused to let him take another step, knowing that he was helpless to take Hongyan today. So there was a long howl, his body shook, and in the blink of an eye, a path was opened among the soldiers, and he was gone without a trace.

The rest of the soldiers saw that Zhang Zhi was unable to go away, while Xiao Zhi stood on the spot. So they stepped forward one after another, and used their halberds against Xiao Bei's body, Xiao Bei had no intention of resisting, and let the soldiers do it.

Hongyan said softly to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, this Xiao Jie is Zhang Zhinan's brother, Zhang Zhinan will definitely come to the rescue, it is better for us to take Xiao Cheap down first, and set up a net to lure Zhang Zhiyan into the trap within the prison." ”

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Okay, good, just according to what the fairy said." After that, he waved his hand and said, "Take Xiao Bei down, put him in a prison, and guard him strictly." ”

The soldiers got the order, held Xiao Cheap with their swords, and pushed Xiao Cheap out. Xiao Bei's face was like ashes, and he followed in a daze.

Those brocade guards then also escorted Sanlin'er and the other three down. But looking at the faces of these brocade guards, they seem to be squeezing their eyebrows, and they are also quite crazy.

Wang Yangming lowered his head, hiding at the end of the hundred officials, his face was as quiet as an ancient well, and after a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Finally, the time has come, and this great catastrophe is about to really begin. He said to himself.

"Chongzhen Tribulation" is over.
