Xiao Zuoshi carried out light exercises, sneaked between the roofs, and crossed to the roof of Yanfu Palace. The moonlight was dim in the dark, but no one found Xiao Zuo on the top of Yanfu Palace.

Xiao Zuo stood on the top of Yanfu Palace, picked up a tile, and was about to lean over to observe the situation in the palace, but suddenly a majestic voice came from the palace: "Friends on the roof, since you are here, why bother to be sneaky and dare not show people." ”

Xiao Zuo's heart sank, he didn't expect the thieves in the palace to be so vigilant, he was already very careful, but he was still discovered.

Now that it was discovered, Xiao Zuo didn't twist, removed the tiles and jumped off the roof. Anyway, in his plan, he used his identity as an assassin to confuse the thieves in the palace, so as to take the opportunity to rescue Zhao Kuangyin.

Entering the hall, due to the dim candlelight, Xiao Zuo could only see a vague figure standing next to the bookshelf dressed in black like himself, and on the chair next to him was Zhao Kuangyin.

The distance between Xiao Zuo and the mysterious man was more than twenty steps away, and after he landed and stood still, he was about to speak, but he didn't want the mysterious man to speak first: "Who are you?"

Xiao Zuo smiled slightly and said, "Like Your Excellency, he is a person who has come to find Emperor Song's bad luck." ”

The mysterious man wears a mask and can't see the expression on his face clearly. I saw him hesitate for a moment and said: "I advise you to leave as soon as possible, now that there are more and more forbidden troops outside the palace, there will be no chance to escape if it is late." ”

"Your Excellency is a master of art and boldness, and he hijacked Emperor Song alone, and I am deeply admired. Your Excellency is calm in the face of such a situation, so what are you afraid of?" "What do you want?"

Xiao Zuo sighed and said: "Your Excellency has made such a big move, at this moment, the entire palace is heavily guarded, as if facing a great enemy, and more than 1,000 sergeants of the Japanese army in front of the palace have said that Yanfu Palace is surrounded by groups, and it is difficult to escape from it, shouldn't Your Excellency, as the initiator, be responsible for this matter?"

The mysterious man frowned, "Since my friend can sneak into Yanfu Palace without being discovered, he can be regarded as a master, I don't think those sergeants outside can stop you." ”

Xiao Zuo shook his head and sneered: "Your Excellency is too high, as the so-called two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, no matter how high a person's strength is, it is difficult to be a thousand troops, and at this moment, the sword under the Jin King Zhao Guangyi's hand is already on guard, and it is difficult to escape to the sky." ”

"And what do you want?" asked the mysterious man in a deep voice.

"Since you caused this trouble, of course you will solve it, and now your life is all on your side. ”

Xiao Zuo's plan is very simple, first rely on this mysterious master, and then find out his intention to kidnap Zhao Kuangyin, find an opportunity to fight back and rescue Zhao Kuangyin.

The mysterious man took a deep look at Xiao Zuo, and then said: "A certain act is above board, since it has affected you, he will not stand idly by, you stay here and wait for a while, and after a certain and this Song Emperor have negotiated the conditions, he will take you out, and a certain will ensure that you will get out of the way." ”

"That's fine. With that, Xiao Zuo strode towards the mysterious man, and when he walked to the mysterious man, he lifted the mask on his face and said, "In order to show sincerity, I will show your true face below." ”

The reason why Xiao Zuo did this was to initially gain the trust of the mysterious person so as to lay a good foundation for his future actions, and secondly, to reassure Zhao Kuangyin. Of course, he also has a little selfishness, that is, he hopes that his volunteering can impress Zhao Kuangyin and earn more political capital for himself.

Sure enough, Zhao Kuangyin saw that it was Xiao Zuo, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, but in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the mysterious person and causing trouble for Xiao Zuo to save himself, he inadvertently covered up this hint of joy in the past.

The mysterious man was noncommittal, and said lightly: "You can rest assured, you can wait here for a while." ”

Xiao Zuo nodded, and then found a place to sit down. The mysterious man also ignored him, turned his gaze to Zhao Kuangyin and said, "How is Your Majesty thinking about it?"

Zhao Kuangyin was clicked on the acupoint, unable to move, his face was full of anger, and said: "I have been a horse for half my life, what kind of danger has not been experienced, do you think that you can make me succumb with this thief?"

The majesty and dignity of the emperor made Zhao Kuangyin never think of succumbing to the coercion of others. He has experienced many ups and downs in half his life, and he has never compromised in front of his opponents. What's more, the thief in front of him is just a powerless and powerless reckless man, and Zhao Kuangyin has not regarded him as an opponent in his eyes. "Isn't Your Majesty afraid of death?"

The mysterious man said coldly. He did not believe that a man who became an emperor would give up his life easily. For the emperor, death does not only mean the loss of life, but also the monstrous power and unique supreme status.

Since ancient times, emperors should have been afraid of death, they are nostalgic for the power and honor of the world, and death is more fearful to them than ordinary people.

"Death?" Zhao Kuangyin suddenly burst out laughing, "I have fought in all directions, and I have already put life and death aside, besides, do you have the courage to kill me?"

Zhao Kuangyin didn't squint, staring coldly at the mysterious man, the two eyes collided, and the mysterious man's eyes faintly dodged.

Although Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts are not as powerful as those of a mysterious person, as a king, the arrogance of the world, and the powerful aura exuded by it is not something that ordinary people can withstand.

In addition, for thousands of years, the ideology of Confucianism, loyalty and patriotism has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and most people will inevitably bow their heads when facing the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to kill you, it's just that Your Majesty, as the king of a country, Shu has died at your hands, so why embarrass a woman. ”

Zhao Kuangyin sneered and said, "What I did, why do I need to explain it to you." ”

"Your Majesty is determined to refuse to let go of Madame Blossom?" the mysterious man's face turned pale, obviously killing him.

"Wishful thinking!"

"In that case, then so-and-so is offended. I don't know if Your Majesty has ever tried to appear naked in front of his courtiers at a glance? ”

As he spoke, the mysterious man lifted Zhao Kuangyin's shirt and walked towards the palace gate, taking off the dragon robe on Zhao Kuangyin's body as he walked.

Zhao Kuangyin was ashamed and angry, and scolded: "You thief, I will punish your nine clans and cut your body to pieces!"

The mysterious man was unmoved, and continued to walk ahead with Zhao Kuangyin, "I don't have the Nine Clans, I'm the only one, as for the broken corpses, I think Your Majesty should think about how to show the majesty of the emperor in front of your courtiers before that."

"You" Zhao Kuangyin almost fainted. As an emperor, the most important thing is to show your prestige and authority as an emperor all the time. He didn't dare to imagine how humiliating it would be for him to stand naked in front of his courtiers and soldiers. It was even worse than killing him.

If this really happens, the consequences will be extremely serious, and the emperor will no longer have dignity and confidence to rule this huge empire.

This plan was too ruthless, and Zhao Kuangyin's heart began to shake as the dragon robe slipped off his body. Will you succumb to the coercion of the thief, or will you suffer the unbearable humiliation?

"Your Majesty, as long as I open this door in front of me and then take off your profane garments, then you will have no chance. ”

"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you. Zhao Kuangyin, who has always been calm and calm, no longer has the majesty of the past, he roared hysterically, but he didn't dare to be too loud, for fear of alarming the soldiers outside the door and exposing his ugliness in advance.

Xiao Zuo had been watching the scene in front of him with great interest, he forced a smile, but in his heart he thought about what reason should be used to stop the mysterious man's behavior.

Stripped naked an emperor and put it in front of his subjects, Xiao Zuo's first thought was not Zhao Kuangyin's embarrassment, but a possible earthquake that followed.

Zhao Kuangyin recorded in the history books is not a cruel and murderous person. When he mutinied in Chenqiao, he was bloodless, and only killed one Han Tong to complete the change of dynasty. But this does not mean that Zhao Kuangyin at this moment can be generous enough to treat what he showed naked in front of others as if it had never happened.

The emperor's face sometimes needs to be filled with human life, and the majesty of the Son of Heaven sometimes needs blood to cast. If Zhao Kuangyin really walked out naked like this, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the more than 1,000 soldiers outside.

Zhao Kuangyin is bound to kill all the people who have witnessed his ** in order to preserve his dignity as an emperor. Of course, he would not directly order the execution of so many people, but he could design a trap for these people to die, such as dying on the battlefield, which would be a good choice for him.

Xiao Zuo didn't dare to bet that Zhao Kuangyin wouldn't do that, after all, it was more than a thousand living lives, and he couldn't bear it, so he resolutely stood up and said something to stop him: "Heroes can't be!"

"Why not?" asked the mysterious man, turning his face and frowning.

"Your Excellency, can you bear to let more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers outside cry out and die unjustly?"

"What do you mean by this?" In the eyes of the mysterious man, this was at most just a humiliation for Zhao Kuangyin, and he didn't think about it at all.

"If you really let Emperor Song go out like this, this is bringing destruction to the lives of those innocent people, do you think the emperor can tolerate his ugly deeds to become the talk of the town?" Xiao Zuo said coldly: "Although we are reckless people, we can't do such harmful things." Can you bear to see so many innocent lives die in vain because of your own selfishness?"

Xiao Zuo's voice was frustrated, his words were sonorous and powerful, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring, the mysterious man heard Xiao Zuo say this, patted his head, and suddenly came to his senses, he didn't think that he almost caused a catastrophe for a while, he glanced at Xiao Zuo gratefully, and said: "Thanks to your reminder, little brother, otherwise I will have a big disaster today, and even if I die, I will have no face to see the teacher under Jiuquan." ”

Xiao Zuo smiled slightly, "Fortunately, the reaction is immediate, otherwise the consequences don't depend on imagination." ”

After the mysterious man dispelled the idea of humiliating Zhao Kuangyin, he picked up the dragon robe on the ground and put it back on for Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin watched the mysterious man dress himself, and a hanging heart finally let go. He had been hesitating, thinking about giving in to the threat of the thief, but the thought of the other party using such a shameless method to force him to submit made him angry.

In the end, he was ready to "meet frankly" with his courtiers, and had already planned that if he was safe, he would kill all those present. Of course, the thief in front of him, if he doesn't kill three thousand knives, it is difficult to vent the anger in his heart.

Fortunately, at a critical time, Xiao Zuo stood up to prevent all this from happening. Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but peek at Xiao Zuo, who was expressionless, and liked his wit and bravery more and more.
