The old man of Longmu saw that his junior brother died under the sword, his heart was surprised, it was beyond measure, this turtle water martial arts is strong, experienced, holding a steel shield, since few people can hurt him, unexpectedly he was killed by a goshawk.

He shouted violently, clenched the copper hammer with both hands, and made a move "Long River Sunset" and smashed it into the face of the goshawk. The goshawk dodged and stabbed out the long sword, and the old man of Longmu felt the cold and gloomy air, and hurriedly turned over and retreated, snorting to the ground, and the trees behind him fell in response.

At this moment, two more people attacked the goshawk, it was the other two masters of the Huayi faction, known as Tiger Kill and Phoenix Slaughter, the two of them held iron rods, danced in a circle, and rolled towards the goshawk like countless whirlpools. Goshawk smiled: "Huayi faction has a lot of masters!" swept out the two swords, and the two did not dare to meet his blades, so they had to change their tricks.

Goshawk saw that someone was eyeing Zhao Sheng, if he was slightly entangled, Zhao Sheng would definitely die. At this juncture, he is no longer greedy for the joy of fighting, the internal force on the sword, in an instant sixteen swords stabbed, such as a storm of lightning, meteor fire shower, it is with the ghost fall long sword, so that the meteor swordsmanship, in an instant the sword wind forest, the sword light horizontal, the dragon wood, tiger kill, Feng Tu three people blades immediately broken, Long Mu face was bruised, blood oozing, tiger killing, Feng Tu wall on the sword, wounds into the bone, the rest of the other thirteen people were stabbed to death on the spot.

Long Mu was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, and shouted: "This thief's blade is powerful! Today for the time being" The words did not fall, his body was like a quagmire, and his gestures were doubly difficult, he took a closer look, and saw that the goshawk's arm was half open, and he used his strength in the air, and he didn't know what kind of wonderful martial arts he made, and the other two junior disciples also suffered from this, and he was even more shocked and speechless. The goshawk bullied closer, lit the acupoints of the three masters such as Long Mu, used his skills, moved the long sword again, and killed several people.

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps in the distance, and countless guards rushed like a tide, all of them were strong in martial arts, and the assassins were already flustered, seeing this reversal, they knew that they could not escape, so they threw down their blades and raised their hands high.

Zhao Sheng shouted, "Tie them up, hurry, hurry!" The guards did as they were told, and the heavy hands beat the assassins to the flesh, and then tied them tightly with ropes. Zhao Sheng looked at the guards and shouted angrily: "Why didn't you come before? If it weren't for Brother Goshawk here, my life would have been gone." ”

The guard headed by him is called Kang Cheng, and his martial arts are strong, not inferior to Wu Ling, Zhao Feng and others. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang said that he received a secret letter that an assassin wants to assassinate the emperor, and he asked us to arrange a strategy. ”

Zhao Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "What about Zhang Axe Mountain, let him come to see me!"

Kang Cheng shook his head and said, "Master Zhang, he said that he had something important, and he left in a hurry, and his deeds were very suspicious. We don't know where he went. ”

Zhao Sheng was like ice water on his head in an instant, his body was cold, and he said in a trembling voice: "What are you talking about? You mean that Zhang Axe Mountain colluded with assassins?"

The goshawk remembered Zhang Axeshan's previous words and deeds, and it really showed clues, but he had a deep friendship with Zhang Axe Mountain, and he was never suspicious. He walked up to Long Mu and asked, "Long Mu, but Zhang Axe Mountain led you into the palace?"

Long Mu sneered and said, "Who are you and my Long Mu? I can't keep up with you in martial arts, and if I am caught by you, the big deal is death, where is there any reason to betray my friends?"

Goshawk laughed and said, "Brother doesn't have a lot of brains, you said that Brother Zhang is your friend, so how can he have nothing to do with it?"

Long Mu was speechless for a moment, gritted his teeth and glared, and then stopped talking. The goshawk interrogated again, and the Assassins were silent, apparently putting life and death on the line. The goshawk was respectful and said: "If it is a dispute between the rivers and lakes, you are such a tough and tough man, I, the goshawk, want to climb and make friends with you." But the current situation is different, but you can't be spared. ”

Zhao Sheng was grateful to the goshawk for his kindness, although he hated the assassin, but in order to please the goshawk, he said loudly: "Escort them all down, take care of them, and no punishment will be allowed." I'm going to interrogate them. After thinking about it, he said: "Qing Guard, Niu Guard, you give the order to go down, let Kong Wudu, Zhang Sui Tang, Yue Yuanli, Hei Dala, Mao Jingyuan, Qiu Haojiao, Li Tingyu and them come to see me quickly." Brother Goshawk, I bother you to temporarily take over the position of Zhang Axe Mountain, and Qu Cai will be a guard by my side. ”

Goshawk nodded, and thought to himself, "Since I saved his life, I can't leave him for the time being." This matter not only involves Zhao Sheng, but also concerns the safety of Li Tingyu and Bing Han. ”

Zhao Sheng came to the main hall, and more guards came, and the ministers of the palace had already gathered, and for a while it was crowded and bustling, that is, there were peerless masters coming, and for a while, Zhao Sheng would never be hurt. At this time, Concubine Xin and Empress De walked into the palace, and when Concubine Xin saw Zhao Sheng, tears poured down her eyes, crying: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you not injured?"

Zhao Sheng has a deep affection for Qiu Xin, and is very fond of her, no matter how indulgent he is, he always loves her as before, seeing her like this, he was very moved, and hugged her into his arms, the two talked warmly for a while, Qiu Xin grinned and gradually reassured. Empress De also said: "The emperor is blessed by the heavens, and after this difficulty, there will be blessings." The tone was joyful, but far less enthusiastic and fierce than Qiu Xin's.

Goshawk thought to himself: "This Queen De has grown up a lot, and she doesn't mind much when she sees her husband doting on others." ”

Zhao Sheng turned to look at the ministers in the palace, but he didn't see the figures of Kong Wuyun and Hei Dara, and asked loudly: "What about the chief military division?

I saw a general kneeling on the ground, looking frightened, and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Kong, Lord Hei and Commander Zhang, they led the army of the Tu tribe before, holding the emperor's gold medal, saying that there is an urgent military situation, and they have already gone out of the city. ”

Zhao Sheng was shocked, his body shook, and he almost fell to the ground. Zhao Sheng stabilized his body, sat on the dragon chair, and muttered: "Kong Wu Dun he rebelled against me? Is he behind this matter?" In the past three years, although he has been wary of Kong Wu Dun everywhere, he has always relied on his ingenuity, and Kong Wu Dun has strategized and commanded Ruo Ding, which also made Zhao Sheng's army have abundant grain and grass, money and wealth, and conquer countless cities. Zhao Sheng didn't expect him to betray him, showing no mercy, his heart was empty and at a loss at this time.

Zhang Sui Tang was in charge of military intelligence in the city, ordered a little people, and said: "Your Majesty, Kong Wuxuan took away 50,000 Tu troops. Now there are still about 100,000 soldiers in the city, but you want to send troops to chase him and capture him?"

Zhao Sheng pondered the situation, shook his head and said: "He is as strategic as a demon, it is difficult to guess, if we rush out, we will be defeated by him." He looked around, and he didn't know who was a traitor and who was a loyal servant among the people, and he was really troubled and suspicious.

After a while, he secretly thought: "Li Tingyu has just come here, and he must not collude with Kong Wu Dun in an instant, Mao Jingyuan has always been not on good terms with Kong Wu Dun, and there is no suspicion, and Brother Goshawk saved my life, and his martial arts are unparalleled in the world, I should be able to trust these three people." So he let these people stay, and the rest waved away. Li Tingyu and Goshawk insisted on letting Xue Binghan listen, and Zhao Sheng did not refuse.

Zhao Sheng frowned and asked, "Then why did Kong Wuxuan do this? I tolerated him everywhere and didn't have any disrespect, did he do it half a point?"

Mao Jingyuan said: "Your Majesty, this person must have benefited from the benefits of the people, so he intended to betray, he led the army, and he had already defected to the Yuan people at this moment." ”

Zhao Sheng shook his head and said: "He defected to the Tartars, can it be better than here? Our current situation is not bad, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the strong enemy has been defeated repeatedly, what did he want when he went to the Tartars?"

Li Tingyu said: "Snow Trail Chief, what do you think?"

Xue Binghan said: "He must have a two-handed strategy, once he succeeds in assassinating the emperor, he will find a scapegoat, frame this person, and then set up a new king, so as to remove obstacles, he can have great power in his hands, and there will be no obstacles." Second, if he could not succeed, he led his army to flee to preserve his power, and he hid in the dense forest, waiting to see what happened, and he might not necessarily defect to the Tartars, maybe he would occupy the mountains and establish himself as king. ”

When Zhao Sheng heard her say this, his heart gradually became clearer, and he said happily: "What the Taoist chief said is clear, he is really smart, but you can tell me, he wants to set up a new king, who is it?"

Xue Binghan thought for a moment and said: "The emperor has always had prestige and worshiped by everyone, if he randomly finds someone to install on the throne, it will be difficult to convince the people." I'm afraid that I will find the son of either the queen and Concubine Xin to be crowned. And among these two, Qiu Haojiao, the son of Concubine Xin, can control the stone cow, and his military achievements are the most important, in my opinion, if he succeeds, he will definitely force Concubine Xin to let her child succeed to the throne. ”

Zhao Sheng's body shook and asked, "Dao Chief, do you mean that my beloved concubine is also a fellow party of Kong Wuxuan?"

Xue Binghan shook her head and said: "The emperor must not be suspicious, Concubine Xin must be an innocent person, but her background is important, so she is involved." The emperor could pretend to know and press the Assassins separately, and the Assassins thought that if someone opened his mouth to confess, he would be angry, and he would open his mouth when he was angry, so as to find out the truth. ”

Zhao Sheng was overjoyed and said: "Dao Chang's clever plan, clever plan, I, Zhao Sheng, have always neglected Dao Chang, and when I think about it at this moment, I really regret it." In the future, if the Taoist is willing to help me, wouldn't it be much stronger than the insidious and fickle Empty Enlightenment?"

Xue Bing said coldly: "The old lady also wanted to run away, but taking into account the overall situation, I will help you stabilize the situation first." But he said: "The emperor promoted me to be a woman and became a staff officer for the expedition to the east, so why slack off?"

Everyone discussed for a while, and they all felt that it was not appropriate to purge and investigate at this moment, but to wait and see, Zhao Sheng settled down a little, so he found Kang Cheng again, promoted him to the commander of the inner palace guards, and sent him to interrogate the assassin. After waiting for a long time, Kang Cheng returned and said: "Your Majesty, everything is just as the snow road chief said, that Kong Wuyun really wants to set up another son of Concubine Xin as the emperor." ”

Zhao Sheng gritted his teeth and said angrily: "He first wants to harm me, and then wants to use my beloved son, it is really hateful!" At this moment, it was getting late, he ordered Li Tingyu to temporarily take the post of empty Wudu, and Xue Binghan assisted him, and issued a new decree tomorrow to stabilize the general situation, and when the arrangements were made, he ordered everyone to leave. Just worried that there would be remnants of assassins, he let the goshawk sleep in the palace just in case. (To be continued.) )
