Prostitution

"Your Majesty, let the thunder run, it may rain today." Finally, amidst the terrifying silence, Yuan Cheng spoke loudly.

Outside the main hall, the Shenwu Square is bright and bright, like a sign of rain.

The emperor breathed a little, and looked straight at King Huai Jing who was blatantly lying in the hall. He still had that gentle appearance, and he didn't overdo it in the slightest, but the look in his eyes was unprecedentedly domineering, which made him tremble involuntarily.

Even the handsome attendant at the entrance of the main hall dared to stare at him unabashedly, with a hint of sinisterness in his eyes.

"You..." the emperor took a deep breath and calmed down his trembling voice, "what are you trying to do to mislead me and the officials!"

The emperor finally realized that King Huai Jing's motives were suspicious, but after all he had little experience and lacked decisiveness in his actions. He questioned like this, was it not giving King Huai Jing a chance to continue to stir things up.

The king of Anling's heart was moved by the side of the hall, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, King Huaijing is making trouble in the court and clearly plotting wrongdoing. He should be sent to death row immediately."

"Yes, where is Luke! Tai Ju, Han Qi!" The emperor came to his senses immediately, and called out to the imperial army to arrest him again, but the guards outside the hall were unmoved even though Shicai was there. Commander and left and right guards.

Even though the emperor's heart was hanging like a thorn in Anling's back, the figure that was supposed to appear never appeared, as if there was no living person except in the palace.

In such a situation, if someone can't see clearly and can't guess, I'm afraid it's really stupid.Facing the iron-clad fact that the Forbidden Army has been fully controlled by King Huai Jing, all the officials, even though they have thousands of thoughts, are silent and docile, not daring to reveal anything.

"Your Majesty, King Anling, don't worry. I'm a reasonable person, and I don't like to give up halfway." Yuan Cheng made a shallow bow, looked around, and said, "My lords, don't look like you have a knife on your neck. , The matter has come to this point, whether it is wronged or not, and whether it should be right or not, we will only know when we explain it clearly."

He walked up to the five elders and bowed deeply, "I am a late student, although this day comes late, I will not let down the loyalty of my seniors."

The emperor was standing in front of the imperial case in a daze, and King Anling had unknowingly stood in front of the steps, half-opening his hands in a gesture of escort, watching Yuan Cheng's every move with vigilant eyes.

"It's all wrong...it's all wrong..." the emperor murmured, his eyes full of sadness, none of the ministers and ministers who lived above the temple dared to stand up and criticize King Huai Jing for him and the court.

King Anling heard the emperor's whisper and looked back. The emperor's mournful expression made him burst into anger immediately, "You, you are all Dakang's ministers. You have inherited the emperor's majesty, but you don't say a word when you see traitors making trouble. Do you still have the heart of a servant!"

The officials were indifferent, and no one ever looked up.

King Anling looked around, and was so angry that he shook his sleeves and stamped on the ground.

But these generous words hit Yuan Cheng's heart every word, he glanced around lightly, and a sneer appeared on his lips, which was really a bit frightening.

This feeling and this scene are just like that moment, the same golden palace, what kind of mood should Qi Mingsu, who is twelve years old, face the Zhong family's bullying and the courtiers' struggle.

The five old men probably recalled what they felt in the past, their chapped lips moved slightly, and their eyes were full of mourning.

"My lord, where did the wrong come from and who is wronged? If there is no real evidence, I'm afraid I won't be convinced. You will be convicted of the crime you committed today." At this time, Qu Tongyin stood up.

Yuan Cheng raised his eyebrows, took a look at the sound, took out a yellow cloth from his bosom, and handed it to Master Wen Xin.

Everyone looked forward to it, not knowing what King Huai Jing would come up with.The emperor's uncle and nephew locked eyes even more.

Lord Wen Xin opened the yellow cloth, and his whole body trembled immediately, "This, this is, the blood edict written by the late emperor..." He suddenly turned around and knelt down facing the outside of the hall, "Your Majesty, the old minister deserves death..."

The four people from the side only glanced at the yellow cloth, and they all knelt outside the hall like thousands of arrows, and their voices sounded like weeping blood, "I wait... I have a heavy trust... I deserve death..."

Qu Tongyin here is not as prudent as usual, seeing this situation, he said rashly, "I'm afraid you are kneeling in the wrong direction."

Master Wen Xin stood up on his knees when he heard the words, his eyes were straight and his eyes were wide, his voice was a little hoarse, but his voice was awe-inspiring, "I will not kneel down and steal the country!"

The emperor on the jade steps took a step back by the jealous look in his eyes, and everyone couldn't help tensing up.Qu Tongyin clicked to the end, and stood back silently.

Hearing Master Wen Xin tell,

"Back then Taiwei Zhongwu took over the young emperor and regent, and was domineering in all directions, but he was not ambitious enough. He demanded the lives of his relatives and forced us to support him as the new king. He secretly eradicated dissidents. Loyal and traitors are all shot to death." Lord Wen Xin held up the bloody edict in his hands, and waved his arms to the officials, "This bloody edict written by Emperor Qi himself is iron-clad evidence of crime!"

The ministers who pushed the deaf to be dumb and wise and safe, looked at each other and exchanged glances one after another, and their hearts were already shaken.

"Master Wen, take care, and Wansheng will take care of it from now on."

In a soft voice, Yuan Cheng took the blood edict from Lord Wenxin's hand with both hands, and turned to look at the historian, "Master Wang Yuwang traveled westward on a crane, and Lord Qian has been writing the book, please read the book in your hand The third page of internal history."

The master Qian was named, so he hurriedly turned the internal history to the third page, "Da Qi Lingjie was in the second year, the emperor was young, and he was weak in politics, so he imitated the virtue of Yao, Shun and Yu's abdication, and passed it on to Taiwei Zhongwu. Wu Ren, three speeches Don’t let it go, respectfully accept it, establish a new Dakang, and take the righteousness of the prosperity of the people in the year of Kang. Emperor Zhongwu, the emperor is humble, benevolent and loving..." Master Qian’s voice became smaller and smaller, and finally closed the books, ashamed of himself .

"Nonsense..." The five old men looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed.

"After Mr. Wang resigned...it was ordered by the first emperor to rewrite it, and the next official had to follow..." Mr. Qian covered his face and said that he didn't ask himself.

Now there is a lot of discussion, accusing Master Qian of being a historian in vain, but they still dare not speak loudly about Zhong Wu's immoral behavior, and only sigh at each other with disgusted expressions.

"It's all your one-sided words... If the records in the history books are false, can you take your own words as the truth?" The emperor yelled, and there was still a chance in his heart, "You say, you said that the father persecuted them, but they are all standing here alive , it is clearly you who instigated..."

"Your Majesty," Yuan Cheng's face darkened, and his eyes were as cold as frost to see the emperor, "to this day, I still call you "Emperor" because you are not as ruthless as him, and you still have a heart of benevolence and righteousness. , can tell right from wrong. Growing up together in this deep palace, I don’t need to go into details about how your father treats you princes. He regards the world as his own and holds power alone. He has never planned for you. Many The facts are all evidence of his numerous crimes, but you dare not admit it and defend it with all your strength, are you going to face the criticism of the world?"

The emperor was stunned, and his heart was pierced by these words.The indulgence and enjoyment of the first half of his life had already destroyed the heart of his family and country, and his ambitions had disappeared without a trace in the gentle village.All I can think of at this moment is the neglect and alienation of the past.The proclamation affixed with the seal and the personal testimonies of the victims are all convincing words. The world that has been handed down to him is so full of holes, but he wants to pay the debts of his father who has no fault?

After all, King Anling had experienced vicissitudes in his life, but he was not so easily shaken. He sighed heavily, looked at the emperor, his eyes were extremely firm, and tried to encourage the depressed emperor, "Your Majesty, don't be fooled by his rhetoric. He said it so grandly, It's just to cover up his disobedience. These so-called ministers of the former Qi were really persecuted by the former emperor, how they came back from the dead, the emperor's words are right, it is definitely King Huaijing's intention to persuade them!"

The emperor was really encouraged by these words, and the desolation in his eyes suddenly subsided.

Yuan Cheng stared at him disappointedly and shook his head, "Are you so uninitiated? If that's the case," he walked to the front of the Golden Palace and faced all the officials, "I can only confess. Master Wen and the others didn't come back from the dead. Theirs is mine. Just not killing them all."

The crowd gasped, and raised their heads one after another, but seeing that he was completely expressionless, he downplayed the tragedy of Miemen, so as not to make the drums in their hearts beat harder, and their faces looked miserable.

"Sin..." The five old ministers were filled with grief and indignation for a moment.The dead cannot be brought back to life, eight years of suffering have passed away, but so what if the grievances are revealed.

"Maybe some people don't believe it and think that I fabricated it." Yuan Cheng turned to look at his uncle and nephew, "It's okay, you believe it if you like."

The emperor and King Anling were shocked and dumbfounded, but Yuan Cheng seemed to have exhausted his patience. He strode up to the doctor Yushi, picked up his official uniform collar and took him to the center of the golden hall.

Doctor Yushi staggered to his feet, his eyes suddenly went dark, a piece of bright yellow silk cloth, full of black characters, it was the color of dried blood, and he could still smell a trace of blood in a trance.This is the blood edict just now, with a vermilion seal on the lower left, several inscriptions and blood fingerprints on the bottom.

Others may be confused and have not yet awakened, but Doctor Yushi can no longer pretend to be confused.King Huai Jing's frank statement just now was undoubtedly telling him that it was also from King Huai Jing's hand that he appeared at Yushitai for no reason before and presented him with the memorial of the late emperor himself.Today's release has been planned for a long time!

Doctor Yushi stared at Xuezhao, and suddenly he was five years old, and his back was a bit bent.

"Whether the former Qi's jade seal is forged or not, I ask the censor who ranks three to identify it for you." The voice was cold, and the blood edict was spread in his hand.

After speaking, Eunuch Zhao, who was originally standing in front of the golden screen on the side of the hall, hurried to Yuan Cheng's side, and handed him the secret files of jade seals from past dynasties that should be kept in the forbidden pavilion of the palace.

Amidst the astonishment of everyone, Eunuch Zhao slowly returned to his original position.

"Zhao Qin, how dare you..." The emperor turned pale with shock. He never thought that even the old eunuch who served two generations of kings would be bribed.

But I heard, "Your Majesty, this old slave is working as the supervisor of the medicated food room in the Daqi Division. When the first emperor burned the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the old slave delivered the medicated food and was lucky to survive. I still have lingering fears when I think about it. The young emperor died when he was young. I have been terrified for decades, and I only hope that one day I will say it myself, and I can do my best to avenge the wrongdoing of the young emperor, the queen mother, and hundreds of innocent palace people."

"Fart..." Even King Anling panicked now, cursing without choice.

"Master Yushi," Yuan Cheng raised his voice suddenly, "can you tell the truth?"

"Yes, it's true..." Lord Yu Shi stammered.

"louder please!"

"It's true, it's absolutely true that it's the jade seal used by Emperor Qi!" Lord Yu Shi roared as if resigned to his fate.

Yuan Cheng nodded in satisfaction, and looked around the audience, "Do you have any objections, my lords?"

Unsurprisingly, all the ministers of the court were waiting and watching, and none of them dared to be the first to say a word of approval.

Yuan Cheng was not disappointed, he narrowed his gaze, glanced at Qi Mingxiu, and led Dr. Yushi a few steps away.

Qi Mingxiu received the cue, took out two jade pendants from his bosom, and held them up in front of his body with the lanyard. The jade pendants collided with each other, making a clear sound, hitting the tense heartstrings of all the officials one by one.

"By the way, Lord Yushi also recognizes these two jade pendants." Yuan Cheng stood still.

Lord Yushi dragged his feet slowly, flipping through the secret file, page after page, finally he looked up at the two jade pendants, and muttered, "Qingluan...Zifeng..."

Baiguan stared at the two jade pendants swaying in mid-air, warm and transparent, with phoenix rings entwined gracefully, as if faintly lingering with purple air.

Qingluan and Zifeng are rarely seen, but everyone in the world has heard of them.Legend has it that in the first year of Daqi's founding, auspiciousness descended from the sky, and the auspicious thing happened to fall on the Shenwu Square of the Imperial Palace, leaving a big hole.But in the big pit, there is a purple blue jade that is only four inches square.Later, the ancestor emperor of Daqi widely issued notices to recruit skilled craftsmen from all over the world. It took more than ten years to divide the Ziqing jade into two, and carved two unparalleled jade pendants, Qingluan and Zifeng.

Since the appearance of auspicious omens, Daqi has been enjoying good weather and peace in the past 50 years.

It can still be seen that the color of a stone brick in the center of Shenwu Square is newer than the others.

In the last years of Daqi, a fire broke out in the palace, and it is said that Qingluan and Zifeng were also burned down.

But now, the two are in the hands of a young man, and the young man's expression is stern, revealing an arrogance that looks down on everything.

Thinking back when Emperor Qi and the Young Emperor were alive, they used to wear Qingluan every day, and the five former Qi veteran officials recognized it, their sunken eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Yes, the second prince..." Suddenly, Eunuch Zhao said a nonsensical sentence in the hall, and he was so sad that he shed tears.

Yuan Cheng's tone was unhurried, with a hint of sadness, "Do you think God has eyes? The fire in the Hall of Mental Cultivation did not burn out the former Da Qi. The second prince who was still in his infancy is now standing in front of him. In front of you, there is a unique token in your hand."

The hall was silent.

King Anling's wrinkled and tense face suddenly let go, and he looked up to the sky and laughed.

This group of officials who see the wind and turn the rudder are not completely cowardly and hateful, but they know the way of being an official best. There is no certainty in the direction of the wind, so they are not willing to turn the rudder easily.

"King Huaijing, your plot to usurp the throne is too sloppy. You treat it like a kid playing house, just forge a seal and lure a few people to make things happen? It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, I advise you to stop as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the news spreads to the frontiers, even if you help a puppet onto the Dragon Throne, you may not be able to do it for a moment." He said, turning his head and looking at the emperor.

This was said to the emperor, and the emperor understood that the 50 troops stationed on the frontier were the most powerful backing.

So far, King Huai Jing's purpose is clearly visible. Exposing Zhong Wu's evil deeds is the introduction, and his real purpose is to help establish a new king.

The officials who kept silent can be regarded as fully comprehended, and they tacitly understood each other.However, even if the evidence is overwhelming, waiting and watching is still their best policy. An army of 50 is enough to turn things around. If they turn their backs at this moment, they will definitely end badly in the future.

After hearing this, Yuan Cheng raised his eyebrows and frowned, a little helpless.He should have realized that it was a waste of time to reason with these people.

Here, Qu Tongyin knew that it was time to make a clear stand, and was about to speak, but someone ran in outside the hall.

It was Wang Ningwei, his behavior was incompatible with the solemn palace, his whole body was so active, he glanced at the jade pendant in Qi Mingxiu's hand, snatched the secret file, and looked at each other several times, as if he saw some incredible monster, his expression was messed up It was an exaggeration, he strode up to King Anling, holding up a secret document to record a page of Qingluan and Zifeng, but the attitude of the next criminal looked very respectful,

"The king of Anling has been fond of antiques for decades. It is conceivable that he has studied them deeply. The documents and objects are all there. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that they are the real green luan and purple phoenix. But these two rare treasures are not in today's world. In the imperial palace, only in the hands of Queen Qi's heirs."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly turned to face all the officials, "If these evidences are forged, do you have the ability to forge one? Your lords not only know it well, but you should be blind. It has long since lost the character of an official and the integrity of a person!"

Wang Ningwei, who had always hated the officialdom, including the bad style of keeping one's pocket and salary, was filled with righteous indignation at the foot of the outer wall of the hall, and jumped out to uphold justice with a sense of righteousness.Perhaps in his heart, this officialdom and even this dynasty need to reform the old and reform.

It's a pity that there are only a few people who can listen to the words of a fifth-rank petty official.

"I believe what King Huai Jing said, and pay homage to the second prince." Qu Tongyin turned his head and looked at Xu Jingyun, stepped out of the queue, both kneeled ten steps away from Qi Mingxiu, kowtowed to the ground to show his submission.

Then add Wang Ningwei and five veteran officials, and four or five officials can be seen successively going out to worship.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the emperor panicked, and anxiously called King Anling in a low voice, "Uncle Emperor, what should I do..."

"Your Majesty, be safe," King Anling replied softly, turned to look at the courtiers kneeling in the distance, and said with a contemptuous smile, "Those of you who mistaken your master, be careful! Second ministers are not easy to do."

Suddenly, an old but energetic voice came from outside the hall, "This old man welcomes the new king of Qi."

Er'er saw Qu Yangguan, the former minister of rites, stepping into the Golden Palace with a hearty spirit and a steady pace, bowing his knees to Qi Mingxiu.

Qi Mingxiu recognized the person who once took him in, and hurriedly helped him up, "Please rise, old gentleman, please rise, everyone. I will never forget the kindness of today."

King Anling saw that even Quyangguan, who had resigned from office for several years, came to help, no matter how disdainful he was, he began to feel a little uneasy, but he tried to keep calm on his face, and snorted coldly, "You gang of thieves, You have been thinking about this day for many years. You are loyal or traitorous. What happened 20 years ago is based on your arrogance, but today, you are the rebellious officials and thieves. People in the world!"

Hearing the words at Quyangguan, he could not see the color of kindness, and his whole body was full of loyalty, "The wind never ends, and the showers never end all day. Right and wrong have their own opinions. Empress Qi is the heir, fortunately, the heavens will not perish. .”

After he finished speaking, he paused and took a look. The courtiers were almost insensitive, and their hearts were as cold as winter.Up to now, two hours have passed, if he can be persuaded, it will be early.

He looked at Yuan Cheng, and Yuan Cheng was also looking at him, with a very obvious impatient expression.

Qu Lao hesitated, and shook his head invisibly, unless it was absolutely necessary, using force was definitely not a good idea.

But Yuancheng's patience and restraint were reaching the limit, his whole body seemed to be crawling with thousands of ants, and he was so annoyed that he was almost on the verge of getting angry.

Elder Qu still tried his best to persuade him, "If you don't believe the old man's words, you can go to the mansion to see what happened. Empress Qi secretly sent the second prince out of the palace to be watched over by Prime Minister Yuan. The emperor forced Master Yuan and his wife to die, and the remaining prince was hidden in a secret room in the mansion by the old man."

"My minister can testify." Seeing that his father had revealed the secrets, Qu Tongyin immediately told him that he couldn't care less about weighing the pros and cons.

The emperor looked at Qu Tongyin with a slightly lowered face in horror, his mind was in chaos.He suddenly realized that this confidant didn't just turn against him today, but he was counted on him early!

Hearing that the Qu family father and son had revealed another crime committed by Zhong Wu, some people whispered and began to approach the group of people at the gate of the hall intermittently.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, King Anling hurriedly scolded loudly, with blue veins on his forehead, "Liu Bi, Yuan De, Huang Zhong, you, you, and you are all relatives of the emperor, and you also want to be with these thieves." Is it?" King Anling had no time to reprimand Qu Tongyin in his desperation.

Distant relatives of the Zhong family bear the reputation of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and under heavy pressure, they have to take a stand.In this way, the officials who had secretly given and accepted him in private also made a choice at this moment.

With a single word, King Anling received more than a dozen people, and he was very proud.

Hundreds of courtiers in the Golden Palace stood in three waves, and a large part in the middle was determined to see the wall to the end.

So far, Yuan Cheng's patience has been completely exhausted.

With an icy face, he raised his voice in the hall, "It seems that no matter how much slander and good talk is in front of you, it is nonsense. In this case, put aside the word "reasonable" for now, and just treat me as if I am today. It’s just to force the palace.”

Before the words fell, Luke entered the hall when he heard the clanking of armor.

Yuan Cheng didn't look back, his eyes were like arrows, and he stared coldly ahead, "Surround Fengtian Temple, if you can't tell who deserves to be wronged and who deserves to die today, don't even try to leave."

Luke nodded, and waved his hand towards Shenwu Square. Immediately, the sound of golden leather rang out, and in the blink of an eye, the imperial guards with their swords in their hands surrounded the golden palace.

Ever since the emperor repeatedly summoned the Forbidden Army to no avail, the fact that the Forbidden Army has been controlled has been tacitly understood.But no one thought that King Huai Jing would really dare to use the imperial army.This is an undeniable coercion, how many courtiers' lives he dares to block, the future history books will definitely not escape.

Obviously, the emperor's uncles and nephews were also unexpected.

Everyone was in a state of panic, and the wait-and-see officials began to feel insecure, and all moved closer to the entrance of the main hall.

"King Huaijing, if you do this, you will be scolded by future generations. Your so-called morality is just empty words! No one really believes it!" Anling King was a little panicked, and retreated behind the ten or so people, next to the emperor.

The emperor was trembling even for breathing, the fear in his eyes seemed to be full of regret, and he said in a weak voice, "Yuan Cheng, you will not do something rebellious and immoral. Let's talk about what you want."

Yuan Cheng clicked his tongue lightly, his face full of ridicule without hiding it.

Right at the point where his teeth were cold, this group of people typically don't cry when they don't see the coffin.The distant water cannot save the nearby fire, and when life is hanging by a thread, it is better to count on the 50 army, and it is better to lie low and ask for peace.He should have done this earlier.

"What I want is very simple, a piece of paper for the position of Zen, and an edict of guilt. Whose country should be returned to whom, and whoever has been wronged will be rehabilitated." Yuan Cheng said lightly, and suddenly there was another muffled sound from the sky. He smiled, "There is no rain today, so it's not thunder, but..."

At this time, the imperial guard rushed into the palace and reported, "My lord, one hundred thousand soldiers and horses have arrived one after another. Now they are assembled five miles outside the city. The vanguard has almost broken the city by throwing thunder and cannons. Please order me, do you want to enter the city?"

Yuan Cheng's thick eyebrows twitched, and he waved his hands with a smile, "Hold on first."

He looked at the panic-stricken group on the opposite side, and his smile became more and more unscrupulous, "The soldiers and horses from the five states have arrived, but they are not here to rescue you."

The emperor staggered and fell to the front of the steps, his expression extremely gloomy.The 'loyal ministers' escorting around should be pale.They had always planned in their minds that the news of the changes in the capital would soon spread to the neighboring cities, and troops would come to help them soon.But now the only and most likely way out was blocked, and it was really a dead end.

At this time, there was the faint sound of sword fighting outside the main hall, and a large group of forbidden troops gradually appeared in Shenwu Square, and the enemy and the enemy were facing each other.

"My lord, it's Tai Ju, the left guard. I transferred him away before, maybe I heard something..." Luke replied in a low voice.

"How many people does he have?" Yuan Cheng frowned slightly.

"About [-]%. But some of us are guarding the key points of the palace, and we can't adjust all of them for a while. In case of accidents, it's better to fight quickly."

While speaking, seeing that the wind was falling, Luke made a gesture, and the imperial guards around the Golden Palace drew their swords and charged into the battle.

Tai Ju's more than a thousand forbidden troops have all gathered, and there are still seven or eight hundred of them fighting so far.However, the imperial guards guarding Shenwu Square and Fengtian Temple were only about [-] people. When Luke and his party rushed to Shenwu Square after hearing the news, Tai Ju's faction had already broken into Fengtian Temple through two side doors, protecting the emperor and others in the formation.

But because Qi Mingxiu and Yuan Cheng were still stranded in the palace, those courtiers who surrendered did not dare to hide outside the palace, so they could only separate and huddle together.

Fengtian Temple was surrounded again.

The two sides confront each other.

"Your Majesty, the guards are late." Tai Ju knelt and kowtowed.

The emperor was quite frightened, he gritted his teeth and pursed his lips so white that he couldn't speak a word.The biggest scene he has ever experienced in his life was the one time he led dozens of soldiers to his second brother's mansion to be an important person. He had seen blood and bloody knives, but he had never seen hundreds of people covered in silver. The scene where Jia is stained red with blood, dripping blood.

King Anling lived up to the battlefield, and the smell of blood seemed to let him find his true nature. Before that, his dispirited look was swept away, and he snatched a blood knife from the hands of the imperial army, and laid it by his side, becoming full of confidence again, "Tai Ju, you Where did you come from? You can know the situation outside the palace."

Tai Ju lowered his eyebrows and replied pleasingly, "I just came back from outside the palace. Luke asked me, the left guard of the imperial army, to transfer to the most remote Nanling Garden today. I knew there must be a ghost. Something happened, I took the opportunity to go out of the palace to check, only a bunch of jumping clowns were running around in the city, and there was no movement outside the city."

"What's the matter with the explosion?" King Anling asked.

"I think it was caused by a fire in several wineries by the river."

King Anling turned around, put his arms around the emperor's shoulders, and laughed loudly, "Your Majesty, you heard, all the [-] troops, the cannon fire that destroyed the city, it's all because of King Huaijing's treachery and trickery!"

The emperor's expression was in a trance, and he didn't seem to be getting any better. There were many dangers in just two hours, and it was really difficult to calm down the shock to him quickly.

Yuan Cheng turned his head and glanced at the gradually increasing number of forbidden troops outside the palace. He had nothing to fear, "Just treat me as an envoy to deceive you, but with these few people, can you escape from the palace?"

King Anling raised his saber, and immediately a row of blades were aimed at Yuan Cheng in unison.Whether it is war or peace does not need to be stated clearly.

As a member of the Zhong clan and a second official, he may not end up better than Sangguo.The nobles of Tianhuang are still prisoners, so why bother to think about it.As long as he escaped from the palace, even if he was left alone, the world would still be the Zhong family's world, and King Anling still cared about his status as one of the top ten thousand people.

The plan was gradually induced. This morning, Yuancheng had never been distracted for a moment. When the end was coming to an end, he suddenly thought of Wen Wuyu, but the flash of thought made his heart jump for no reason, like a fist. The blunt sword pierces the atrium, it doesn't hurt, it gets stuck in the heart and can't get out and can't get in.

He shook his head, raised his spirits and ordered, "Send your lords to a safe place to hide first."

Such a sentence made the officials at the scene feel as if they had received an amnesty, and immediately scattered like birds and beasts, rushing anxiously to the gate of the main hall.

No matter how majestic the golden gate of Fengtian Temple is, it is not enough to accommodate 80 to [-] people to come out side by side. A bunch of people crowded left and right in an unreasonable manner, and sometimes people fell and shouted.

Yuan Cheng stood in the hall, surrounded by people avoiding him. Unexpectedly, these people were so greedy for life and afraid of death, they immediately thought of Mr. Wen Xin, who was old and frail.

Master Wen, who was originally behind him, was pushed to the end of the crowd.

Yuan Cheng sighed badly, and was about to step forward when Qi Mingxiu yelled to be careful.He hurriedly turned his head, only to see a flash of cold light, and a sleeve arrow pierced straight at his chest.

Yuan Cheng dodged sideways, and with a groan, the three-inch long arrow body was completely nailed into the gold-encrusted stone pillar ten feet away.

The crowd gradually dispersed, but Master Wen Xin stayed where he was, and three people on the other side were shot and fell to the ground.

Yuan Cheng's heart sank, and he hurriedly pushed away the remaining people, wanting to help but not able to, his hands were at a loss, "Master Wen..."

Master Wen Xin's eyes didn't blink, his eyes became hollow and unfocused before his image was printed, they were lightly covered by eyelids, and his body fell forward.

Yuan Cheng quickly opened his hands, he was young and strong enough, but he couldn't support an old man, so he fell to the ground together.At this moment, it was as if a thunderbolt exploded in his ears, shaking him blind.

After being dazed for a moment, he came to his senses. A chill ran down his spine and he put his hand under Mr. Wen's nose.It's just that what the fingers feel is a moment-to-moment stiffness.

He couldn't believe it, so he took Master Wen's pulse again.After waiting for a while, the touch under his fingertips was as blank as his expression at the moment.

He blinked and looked at Qi Mingxiu, as if asking for help.

Qi Mingxiu approached the first half and knelt down, also felt his pulse with his fingers, and finally shook his head solemnly.

Yuan Cheng finally gave up and looked straight at the blood-red arrow sticking out of Master Wen Xin's chest.

The imperial guards lined up in a fan shape, encircling him in the middle.

"My lord..." Luke whispered, waiting for his order.

Yuan Cheng raised his eyes, Lian Qi, Ming Xiu, Lu Ke, even the emperor in the corner of the hall, everyone looked at him.A hole was pierced through the bottom of his heart by these gazes, a bottomless hole, staring at him non-stop.
