The commander of the imperial army led nearly a thousand people to resist stubbornly, but they were powerless and retreated steadily.Rao is the crown prince, he never thought that King Yu could send troops from Shanzhou to surround them.

King Yu's soldiers are local troops, guarded by the governor, unless there is an order from the central government to transfer the army, it is absolutely impossible to transfer them away.

"Where did King Yu get the Tiger Talisman?" The crown prince muttered to himself, but there was no chance for him to think so much at the moment, he bowed his body and braved the rain of arrows and ran back to the hall, "Quick! Close the palace door——"

Only then did everyone wake up from a dream, civil and military officials, regardless of etiquette, got into this small hall one after another, thinking that this cramped space would give them a glimmer of hope for survival.

……

"Second brother!" Si He didn't care to dodge, and growled, "Take dad away—"

"Now that the situation is like this, where can I take Dad—" Si Yan grabbed Si He's collar and hurriedly said: "It's you, what a hero you are still here, hurry up and enter the palace!"

"Second brother!" Si He said in a deep voice: "The palace gate will be in chaos later, you take your father and escape from the apse to take advantage of the chaos, there will be two guards to protect your safety, and walk south along Wanlin Mountain , is Luojia Village, Qi Shu will wait for you there."

"What about you?" Si Yan frowned, "What do you mean? What exactly do you want to do!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Si He had already waved his sleeves and strode out.Just in time for the archers under the palace gate to stop their bows, Si He walked up to the palace gate alone.

At his feet was Lu Yu and his army of tens of thousands of people. There was a black crowd, and the torches were gradually lit, spreading to the end of the road ahead.

"Si He——" Lu Yu sat astride the horse, wearing black armor and holding a long sword, and said loudly: "Quickly open the palace gate! Please don't die!"

Si He sneered, and swung the scroll away abruptly, only to see him flying in plain clothes, and in a moment, five blue-spotted white tigers with bloody mouths scrambled to fly out of the scroll. The door jumped down, rushed towards the crowd of archers, and started biting and devouring in a rampage.

All of a sudden, there were endless screams, and although the soldiers ran to the rear in a hurry, their throats were still bitten off by the tiger, and the gushing blood stained the open space in front of the palace gate, tearing apart tens of thousands of soldiers. It opened a hole, which was worse than the rain of arrows from the archers before.

"What is this..." Lu Yu said in a panic, "It's a magician—siege the city! Hurry up and attack the city!"

The reason why he was able to go forward today without fear, although a large part of the reason is that Emperor Jing did not bring enough troops when he went on a tour, and part of the reason is that he knew that Guang Baiyou, the Master Master, was ill and was bedridden. Accompanied by Emperor Jing.

But he never dreamed that today's magician is not Guangbai, but the person he thinks the two have nothing to do with each other.

——Si He.

It was Si He!

It turned out to be Si He!

"Si Yan! Take dad away!" Si He gritted his teeth, dripping sweat dripping down his forehead and into his collar. His skills are still immature and cannot support him and Lu Yu. Even these few fierce tigers have consumed a lot of his energy.

All he can do is scare Lu Yu and buy Si Yan more time to escape.

"Then I...then I'll take Emperor Jing to go too!" Si Yan woke up like a dream, everything about Si He today was far beyond what he could bear, he even thought he was still dreaming.

"You can't take it with you!" Si He gritted his teeth and said, "Emperor Jing is weak and seriously ill, and can't stand running around." He took a deep breath, and almost said in a low voice: "Take dad away quickly, and go to rescue the soldiers. OK! Let me say it one last time, let's go!"

The commander of the imperial army must protect the safety of the royal family in the palace and is not allowed to leave without permission. Si Yan is loyal and his martial arts is still above the majority, so he is the best candidate.

Si Yan was suddenly pushed by Si He, gritted his teeth, turned around and ran towards the hall.

Now he shoulders not only the Si family, but also the entire great commitment.

"Lu Yu, don't you surrender yet?" Si He resisted his fatigue, curled his mouth slightly, waved his clothes, and sat down cross-legged, "What chance do you think you have of winning?"

***

The news that Si He was a magician spread into the hall somehow, and everyone began to rejoice.

"It's Mr. Si's second son! Young Master Si is Mr. Sorcerer!"

"Great! Chengguo is saved! Master Shushi is here!"

"God has eyes!"

However, there were also some other voices that mixed into the entire court.

"Since this young master is a magician, why didn't he repel these rebels earlier, causing us to be in fear for so long!"

"That's right! Master Magician is looking at us as a joke, and he wants to be Chengguo's savior at the last moment?"

Surrounded by the crowd, Si Pingchuan remained expressionless.

It seemed that all of this had nothing to do with him, and the object of discussion seemed to be someone else's son.

"Father—" Si Yan pushed through the crowd and said loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone!" After being pushed away by him, everyone began to talk about Si He and Cheng Guo enthusiastically, except for a few who noticed Si Yan. The same Si Pingchuan walked towards the apse, but was surrounded by the hope of surviving, and had no time to pay attention to his Si Pingchuan.

……

"This is Master Sorcerer!"

"It's actually possible to see the magician!" The soldiers of the palace gate whispered to each other in fear.

To them, magicians are like gods that cannot be profane.

They actually want to compete with the master magician, and they are overwhelmed by their power to shake the big tree.

"It's just a few beasts, dare to confront me?" Lu Yu laughed, but gradually lost confidence in his heart.

Four fierce tigers were still no match for a ten thousand general, but Lu Yu also suffered heavy casualties.Not only were there many casualties, but the morale of the army also began to slacken.

He knew very well that if this continued, there would be obstacles to today's actions, so Si He must be eradicated immediately.

Never hesitate.

"Archer, shoot me an arrow—" he yelled frantically, "Whoever takes Si He's head will be rewarded with a title, rewarded!"

Si He was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Lu Yu had already gone crazy to such a point, a desperate situation would drive people to a dead end, not only Lu Yu, but also him.

Fight today, unless he dies.

Otherwise, Lu Yu would never even think of stepping into the gate of Yongyang Palace.

In an instant, there was a scuffle in front of Yongyang Palace. Tigers, wolves, wild leopards, lions and an army of ten thousand people were entangled together. Only the screams and roars were intertwined into the miserable drums in front of the palace. All over the field, frightened birds circled above the blue sky.

When he put the last strokes on the scroll, Si He secretly felt that this might be the last moment of his life.

His heart palpitations were severe, and he suddenly felt that his soul was about to separate from this broken body, and a big hand was heavily dragging his soul out of this broken body.

Si He's pupils began to slack, and the thick stubble of sweat on his back soaked his clothes. He even felt that if he said another word, he might fall straight down.

But he cannot fall.

In today's situation, he is Dae Seung's only hope.

"Lu Yu——you deserve to die today!" He stood up suddenly and shouted to the sky. A bow appeared in his left hand. go.

However, only Si He knew that he was holding on to this broken body to finish all the rest.

"Ji Wanghuai..." His pupils have been dilated, everything around him has become a blurred shadow in his eyes, and he saw Ji Wanghuai reaching out to him again in a trance.

He murmured, his body swayed, and he was about to fall down.

At this moment, an arrow broke through Qingyun and pierced his chest fiercely.

Pain has become a luxury at this moment.

Because he only felt that he was above the clouds, without any pain or perception.

The only regret is that he has not had time to say that sentence to Ji Wanghuai.

"Ji Wanghuai, I miss you very much..."

我 很想 你.

Miss you very much.

If there is an afterlife, I will treat you well, love you well, and accompany you well.

Don't be brave, don't be stupid, don't let you worry about it.

……

However, the rest of the words have been blown away by the mountain wind and become the lonely clouds in the mountains.

***

Everyone under the palace gate saw a black shadow flying towards him, passing Si He and disappearing into the forest.

Before everyone came back to their senses, Lu Yu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "God help me! God help me—all soldiers obey orders! Follow me to attack the city—"

His order announced that the reign of Emperor Chengguo Jing had passed, and it would be replaced by a brand new reign title.

Thousands of troops and horses are like a rushing river. Wherever they go, soldiers throw away their helmets and armor one after another, and they have no choice but to open the gate of the palace.

The faces of everyone in the hall were ashen. Hope came so quickly, but despair followed.

All this is just for a moment.

"Master Sorcerer lost?"

"Impossible, how could the magician lose!" Everyone was in disbelief.

A minister suddenly realized: "Yes! Could it be that this magician has betrayed!"

"You actually betrayed! This Sihe deserves to be struck by lightning!" A minister cursed viciously, "I will die!"

"That's right! It's a terrible death!" Someone said in a strange way: "In my opinion, he is just a dandy, and even becoming a magician can't change his temperament of greed for life and fear of death."

The object of their complaints began to shift to Si He's head, as if the reason for their overthrow of the country was all because of Si He's appearance.Lu Yu, on the other hand, is an insignificant little character.

People are often like this. When looking up to a strong person, the first thing they hope is that the other party will give everything. Because the other party is strong, it seems that they should bear the responsibility that should not belong to them.

"Father! King Yu is attacking! He is attacking!" The crown prince scrambled and ran to Emperor Jing's side, crying bitterly: "It's my servant's fault that I didn't keep your promise. ah!"

Emperor Jing didn't speak, and he was speechless.

He just closed his upper eyes deeply, and a tear trail slowly flowed down his old face and disappeared into the gray temples.

……

The news of King Yu's siege was finally brought back to the palace by Si Yan, and the Crown Princess Si Lu ignored the beautiful clothes and hairpins, and ran all the way to the Queen's Fengqi Palace with her hair loose.

"Where is the empress! I want to see the empress!" She ignored the guards outside the door and struggled to crawl into the hall: "Empress, please send troops to save the prince, save Emperor Jing, and save Si He!"

Si He——

Her youngest brother, who she watched grow up step by step.

Is it just dead?

Si He is not married yet, and has no heirs yet, so he just left his parents to play alone?

And the prince, and his husband.

She hasn't had time to tell the prince that she has good news. Could it be that her child will never be born, and will never be able to see this vast world?

"The princess is in such a mess today." With this coquettish smile, a woman dressed in a phoenix crown walked out of the hall like stars holding the moon.

"Oh~ No, it should not be the Crown Princess." Xie Ying smiled, "Miss Si, I heard you want to see the Queen?"

Si Lu was in a daze, just opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"Then tell me, what exactly is it that you want to see Ben Gong?" Xie Ying smiled and said arrogantly.

"Where's the queen!" Si Lu panicked, "You—you—" She was so angry that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"Oh, I'm confused. I think this Miss Si is talking about the current queen mother?" Xie Ying smiled slightly, turned her body slightly, and a woman in a fine attire came out of the palace slowly. .

Si Lu slowly raised his eyes, and when he saw the woman's face, his heart sank heavily.

This woman is none other than King Yu's biological mother—Concubine Xi.

"Miss Si." Concubine Xi smiled lightly, "Today you broke the rules by trespassing on Fengqi Palace. Seeing your dusty appearance, why don't you go to the prison with that crazy woman in the palace to have a rest."
