"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Xu Lishan stood in front of Xiao Yan, drew out the sword at his waist and put on a defensive posture, "Who gave you the courage to trespass into the Hall of Liangyi? Get out, my lord!"

Compared to Xu Lishan's anger, Xiao Yanzhi's attitude can be called calm, but when a person who always smiles and exudes a gentle aura suddenly becomes fierce in silence, the knife-like eyes can make people tremble three times .

Xiao Yanzhi stared at the general, then asked coldly: "Are you Xu Liqian's second card?"

The general snorted coldly, and instead of answering Xiao Yanzhi's question, he waved his hands and shouted: "Take them down!"

"Yes!" The soldiers following the general immediately walked into the imperial study with their spears in hand, but suddenly a large number of tiles fell from the top of their heads, causing them to back away in shock.

Xu Ren led three people and jumped off the roof, and the five personal guards who secretly protected the emperor fell down steadily.At the same time, shouts of beating and killing came from outside the imperial study room. It was the rest of the people protecting Xiao Yanzhi and the emperor fighting with the left and right guards outside. There were about twenty people.

Xiao Yanzhi looked left and right for a while, and then saw a pair of bows and arrows hung by the emperor on the wall.

Staring at the pair of bows and arrows, Xiao Yanzhi patted Xu Lishan on the shoulder, and said, "Jump out of the window and go to Xuanwumen Urn City to find Jiang Shan."

After speaking, Xiao Yanzhi turned around and took down the bow and arrow on the wall, and said to the frightened imperial doctors in a cold voice: "The things here have nothing to do with you, do what you should do, whether you want to get out alive or die. Get out, you decide."

The imperial physicians were stunned, then looked at each other in blank dismay, then saw Xiao Yanzhi who had started to draw the bow and set the arrow, and then began to treat the emperor again.

Xu Lishan didn't listen to Xiao Yanzhi's words and left immediately, instead he looked at Xiao Yanzhi worriedly and said, "Brother Emperor, I'll stay here, you go to rescue the soldiers."

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Xu Lishan and smiled, and asked, "Did you forget that my leg is still injured?"

Xu Lishan was startled, then gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Then brother wait for me! Be sure to hold on!"

Before the words were finished, Xu Lishan jumped onto the couch where the emperor was lying, he didn't care if it was the next crime, he kicked open the window behind the couch and jumped out.

Xu Ren raised his hand and wiped the tip of his nose, then rolled up his sleeves and said to Xiao Yanzhi, "My lord, give me an order."

Xiao Yanzhi sneered, and said: "Anyone who trespasses in the Hall of Liangyi will be killed without mercy!"

The captain of the emperor's personal guards blinked, then turned to Xiao Yanzhi and asked, "My lord, do you want to keep alive?"

Xiao Yanzhi looked at the general with disdain, and said, "Do you think you can get anything out of his mouth?"

Now he wants to know who gave the medicine in the emperor's tea. The imperial doctor probably said that the medicine could cause the emperor's heart disease. In other words, the person who gave the medicine must know that the emperor has a heart disease, but this Apart from the imperial physician from the imperial medical office, him, Xu Lishan, Pei Ze, Zhao Kang and the emperor himself, who else knew the insider?

Hearing Xiao Yanzhi's words, the captain of the emperor's personal guards and Xu Ren looked at each other, and then the two of them drew their swords and grabbed a chair, and attacked the left and right guards together.

Xiao Yanzhi hesitated for a while while holding the bow and arrow, but he still let go of the hand pulling the string, and the sharp arrow flew out of the string, and pierced into the head of a Weiwei soldier impartially.

Seeing the man's head pierced by a sharp arrow and then crashing to the ground, Xu Ren turned to look at Xiao Yanzhi in shock.

The king of Shu is so good at archery?

Xiao Yanzhi's gaze was still focused on the fallen man, specifically the blood gushing out of the man's head with the arrow stuck in it.

Xu Ren noticed Xiao Yanzhi's inappropriateness almost immediately, and hurriedly took a step sideways to block Xiao Yanzhi's sight.

"Please stand there and don't move, the subordinates must not let them get close to the prince."

Unexpectedly, just as Xu Ren finished speaking, someone broke through the defense line outside the house, broke in through the window, and happened to appear beside Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi took out an arrow from the quiver and stuck it out with his backhand. He didn't care where the arrow was inserted into the man, and then he added a kick to kick the man out again.

"Xu Ren, you should concentrate."

"...Yes." Xu Ren turned around and walked back, and then jumped out of the broken window angrily, "Damn it, why not jump through the window if you have a door? If you smash the window of the imperial study, you are ready to take it." Come and accompany me!"

Xiao Yanzhi took a deep breath, stood still at his place, but was always vigilant, as long as there was an enemy coming out from any direction, Xiao Yanzhi would immediately shoot him an arrow, and the arrow and arrow could accurately hit him. Pierce the opponent's head.

However, compared with the total number of left and right guards dispatched, there are still too few people on their side. When both sides only have masters left to fight, the situation will be deadlocked. There are more people on their side, and there are not many arrows left in the quiver.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head and asked the imperial physicians, "How is the father's condition?"

The imperial doctors wiped off their cold sweat when they heard this, and said without confidence: "I will definitely do my best!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi's heart sank, and seeing the emperor's gray face, Xiao Yanzhi gritted his teeth and stood upright.

"My lord! Please leave the imperial study!" Xu Ren suddenly retreated to the imperial study, looking a little embarrassed because of the bloodstains on his body.

Although it is not impossible to win, Xu Ren wants to ensure Xiao Yanzhi's [-]% safety.

"I won't leave," the emperor is still lying here, where do you want him to go? "It will be fine until King Qi arrives."

Xu Ren stared at Xiao Yanzhi, hesitating again and again, and asked reluctantly, "What if... King Qi doesn't come?"

Although people were sent to the sixteen guards to move rescuers just now, judging from the distance, if Jiang Shan's Yubayashi guards can't come to rescue them in time, then the other sixteen guards will also be too late.But isn't this a great opportunity to eliminate all political enemies?

Xiao Yan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, for the first time in this day.

"If you don't come, don't come." After saying that, Xiao Yanzhi dragged the wheelchair to the front of the emperor and several imperial physicians, and then sat firmly on it, "If you can't hold it anymore, you can go."

Xu Ren said in shock: "Does the lord want our lord to kill his subordinates? The subordinates understand why our lord and you see each other right, and you are the same kind of people in your bones!"

I still remember that when they fought around with their lord, their lord was also like this, the more critical the moment, the more relaxed he looked, it was right to say that he looked like he had given up on himself, and it seemed that he had the chance to win. That's right, it makes people confused. This kind of life-gambling approach makes them have to follow desperately.

"Really?" Xiao Yanzhi tilted his head and smiled, "It's good to know about this at this time. Thank you."

Xu Ren rolled his eyes to the sky, and said: "If the lord can think about the way to solve the siege, then the subordinates will definitely kneel down and thank the lord!"

After the words fell, Xu Ren rushed out again.

The sound of beating and killing outside didn't stop for a moment, but Xiao Yanzhi could hear the imperial physicians behind him gradually holding their breath, as if they didn't dare to make a sound.

Xiao Yanzhi's hands resting on the armrests of the wheelchair couldn't stop shaking, even if he clenched his fists tightly, he couldn't stop the trembling.

He knew why the imperial doctors held their breath in fear, he wanted to turn around and ask for confirmation, but he didn't dare.

A man covered in blood suddenly jumped in through the window beside the couch, his murderous look made the imperial doctors suddenly scream in panic, and fled away from the couch.

"Shu King, I'm so sorry!" The general jumped off the steps, raised the knife in his hand, and slashed at Xiao Yanzhi's head.

However, Xiao Yanzhi remained motionless in the wheelchair.

"My lord!"

"Your Highness!"

Amid the exclamation of everyone, a sharp arrow pierced through the air, pierced the general's heart with force, continued to move forward with blood, and finally nailed to the opposite window frame with a loud sound.

"Brother Huang!" Xu Lishan ran out from behind Jiang Shan, entered the imperial study through the window again, grabbed Xiao Yanzhi's shoulder and pulled him over, but froze the moment he saw Xiao Yanzhi's expression clearly.

Xu Lishan froze and didn't dare to look back at the motionless emperor on the couch, he only asked Xiao Yanzhi with a trembling voice, "Brother, why are you crying?"

Xiao Yanzhi slowly raised his head to look at Xu Lishan, and raised a smiling face, as if he didn't notice the tears on his face, nor did he hear Xu Lishan's question.

"Imperial Brother, I will leave this place to you and Jiang Shan."

"Brother Huang, what are you going to do?" Xiao Yanzhi's smile was too bright, and his voice was too steady, especially the unbroken tears gushing from his eyes, which made Xu Lishan a little scared.

"Don't do anything," Xiao Yanzhi still laughed and cried, "I'll go back as soon as I go. Since Jiang Shan has brought the Habayashi guards, the left and right guards are nothing to be afraid of. For the time being, you will lead the sixteen guards, except for the Jinwu guards. Check around as usual, and the rest of the people will find an excuse to arrange with Habayashi Wei, so as not to have such a situation as the left and right guards, and then...arrange the matter of the father."

After speaking, Xiao Yanzhi stood up, called Xu Ren, and then walked towards the gate of the imperial study.

"Wait!" Xu Lishan grabbed Xiao Yanzhi's arm, "Jiang Shan is enough here, I will go with you wherever Brother Huang is going."

"No need," Xiao Yanzhi smiled lightly, "It is enough for you to bring Jiang Shan back. Next, you can do what a benevolent emperor should do, and leave the rest to me."

He and Xu Liqian are endless!

Xu Lishan still didn't dare to let go.

"Good boy," Xiao Yanzhi smiled again, "I'm just going to meet a woman, and I won't go desperate for anyone just yet."

woman?Are you going to see Concubine Yun Shu?

Xu Lishan looked at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously: "Brother Huang, you have to promise that you will not put yourself in danger. Brother Pei will definitely not want to see Brother Huang get hurt."

At this time, Xu Lishan also had to move out of Pei Ze, so that Xiao Yanzhi would have some scruples.

He will also feel sad for his father's death, but he is still different from Xiao Yanzhi. There is a true father-son relationship between Zhi and his father, and there is still a layer of alienation between him and his father, which is why he is afraid of Xiao Yanzhi's plain reaction.

Xiao Yanzhi's eyes flashed, then he nodded and said, "I know, don't worry."

"Then...then, brother, you can go." Xu Lishan finally let go of Xiao Yanzhi's hand, and then raised his voice to tell Xu Ren, "Xu Ren, take your people to protect the King of Shu."

"Yes!" Xu Ren replied, and then followed Xiao Yanzhi into the harem with a dozen people with him.

Jiang Wan was standing there quietly in front of the Ganlu Gate leading from the Zhong Dynasty to the harem, when he saw Xiao Yanzhi leading a group of men approaching aggressively, Jiang Wan immediately rushed up to meet him.

"Your Highness, how is Your Majesty's situation? Where's Shan'er?"

Xiao Yanzhi looked at Jiang Wan, and said, "Concubine Jiang, let's go back to Ziwei Hall."

Xu Liqian probably only got the help of the left and right Weiwei, so he only let the left and right Weiwei go straight to the Liangyi Hall, probably because he wanted to kill the emperor with Xu Lishan by surprise after poisoning him, and then he could control the entire palace. Therefore, in this huge imperial palace, only the Hall of Liangyi was in chaos, and the other places were quiet. The maids and eunuchs probably ran away after hearing the wind, and there was no telling how many people were left in the normally lively harem. .

But he ran away, now he has no time to take care of these things, it's better than staying in the palace and becoming Xu Liqian's blindfold.

Surprised by Xiao Yanzhi's indifference, Jiang Wan guessed that the situation in Liangyi Hall might not be very good: "Where are you going, Your Highness?"

Xiao Yanzhi's eyes turned cold, and he said, "This shouldn't be something Jiang Guifei asked."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yanzhi made a mistake and strode away. Xu Ren and the others ignored Jiang Wan and followed Xiao Yanzhi firmly.

There was a dull pain somewhere in the calf, probably because too much walking involved the ungrown bone, but this pain was the best refreshment for Xiao Yanzhi at this time.

Pushing open the gate of Zhaoqing Palace, Xiao Yanzhi strode towards Concubine Yun Shu who was sitting in the courtyard doing embroidery, and without warning, grabbed Concubine Yun Shu's neck and lifted her up.

"Where is Xu Liqian?"

Concubine Yun Shu was so frightened that her face turned pale instantly, and the feeling that her feet couldn't touch the ground made Concubine Yun Shu panic even more.

"I-I don't know!"

Since she was imprisoned here by His Majesty, she has never contacted Qian'er again. She heard that Qian'er escaped from Chang'an, what did she do now to anger His Majesty?

"You don't know?" Xiao Yanzhi glared at Concubine Yun Shu viciously, "You are the mother and concubine who helped him plan his great cause, such a smart and capable insider, would he let him go? I don't like being rough on women. Come on, tell me, where is Xu Liqian?!"

"I...cough...I really don't know anything! Zhao and Zhaoqing Halls are surrounded by His Majesty's personal guards...I...I don't know..."

Xiao Yanzhi smiled, and said coldly: "Then there is no other way. Xu Ren, tie up this woman and hang her on the tower of Zhuquemen!"

"Ah?" Xu Ren was stunned, and he read Xiao Yanzhi's words again before he understood the content of the words, and responded in surprise, "Yes! You guys, hurry up!"

Hang people on the tower?Although the daily sun in this season is not as hot as in midsummer, it must be unbearable for three or four hours, let alone a delicate woman.Sure enough, it would be horrifying to see gentle people who get angry once they get angry. Even they may not be able to remember to use such a torture method immediately.

Concubine Yun Shu was stunned, and she came back to her senses when her hands were pinched behind her back, and she exclaimed: "You, why do you deal with me?! Do you have an order from His Majesty? Oral orders? Imperial decrees? I To see His Majesty!"

Hearing Concubine Yun Shu mention the emperor, Xiao Yanzhi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a low voice: "You will probably see the emperor soon. Take it away!"

Xiao Yanzhi, Xu Ren and the others came to the Suzaku Gate in the southernmost part of the palace. After climbing up the tower together, they watched Xu Ren and the others deftly set up the wooden frame, and then hung Concubine Yun Shu on it.

"Xiao Yanzhi! Xiao Yanzhi, you can't treat me like this! Let me go!" Concubine Yun Shu, who was hanging in the air, shouted hoarsely.

Xiao Yanzhi stood aside with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "Then Concubine Yun Shu, come and tell me, how should I treat my mother who killed my father and enemy?"

"You kill..." Concubine Yun Shu was startled, and stared at Xiao Yanzhi dumbfounded, "You...what did you say?"

Xiao Yanzhi looked away, looked at the straight Zhuque Street, and said, "You should wait to ask your son about this matter!"

Xiao Yanzhi said to Xu Ren beside him: "Arrange people to guard here, and anyone who is not Xu Liqian will be killed on the spot."

"Yes, my lord!" Xu Ren straightened his back involuntarily.

After standing on the top of the city tower and looking into the distance for a long while, Xiao Yanzhi turned around and walked back: "Go and see what is going on with King Qi."

"Yes!" After arranging five people to stand guard on the tower, Xu Ren followed Xiao Yan with the rest of the people. After halfway through the stone steps of the tower, Xu Ren suddenly looked down at Xiao Yanzhi's calf. , and then said, "My lord, do I need...do I need my subordinates to carry you?"

"No need." Xiao Yanzhi refused without thinking.

"But your leg, my lord..." Why did he see that the hem of King Shu's clothes was stained with blood?

"It's okay," Xiao Yanzhi said in a low voice, "It hurts a little on the leg, but other places will not hurt so much."

Xu Ren blinked blankly.

What does the King of Shu mean by this?other places?Is there any other pain in King Shu?

When Xiao Yanzhi brought people back to the Hall of Liangyi, the hundreds of people from the left and right guards had all turned into corpses, and fell in disorder on the ground of the Hall of Liangyi. The blood gushing out from these bodies blackened the Hall of Liangyi slate floor.

"Brother Huang!" Seeing Xiao Yanzhi's appearance, Xu Lishan rushed to meet him, "Brother Huang, why have you been away for so long? Are you okay?"

Xiao Yanzhi smiled, and asked without answering, "How is the arrangement going?"

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi didn't want to say anything, Xu Lishan didn't ask anymore, and directly answered Xiao Yanzhi's question: "The affairs of the sixteen guards have been arranged, and Jiang Shan has already taken the token to transfer people, but father Huang...I'm wondering if I should hide it from Xu Liqian."

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi took a deep breath, then lifted his feet, and walked slowly into the imperial study.

In the imperial study, the emperor was still lying on the couch by the window, perhaps because of the chaotic situation, Zhao Kang couldn't find anything else, so he found a white cloak that the emperor had left in the imperial study and covered the emperor. At this moment, Zhao Kang and the palace maid next to the emperor were kneeling and crying by the couch, seeing Xiao Yanzhi approaching, they got up quickly and moved out of their seats.

Xiao Yanzhi's pace slowed down a bit, and he slowly approached the side of the couch, then sat sideways on the side of the couch, raised his hand to lift the cloak to have a look at the emperor's face, but after lifting his hand for a long time, he finally let go again. down.

"Master Zhao, does the emperor have a will to stay?"

"Have."

Zhao Kang wiped away the tears on his face, moved a chair under a certain beam, and then stood on the chair, holding a long wooden stick in his hand, and finally hid it on the beam. The rectangular wooden box get down.

Getting off the chair, Zhao Kang picked up the wooden box and handed it to Xiao Yanzhi.

"Your Majesty's last decree has been written long ago." Zhao Kang began to cry again after speaking.

Xiao Yanzhi took the wooden box and opened it calmly, only to find that there were two imperial edicts inside.After Xiao Yanzhi opened the two imperial edicts and read them through, he threw them to Xu Lishan.

Xu Lishan also opened the two imperial decrees to have a look, one of them was the imperial decree to pass on the throne, the throne was naturally passed on to Xu Lishan, but the second imperial decree was beyond Xu Lishan's expectation, it was actually intended to pass on the throne to Xiao Yanzhi. Relegation to the imperial decree of the common people.

Xu Lishan looked incredible.

"How could the father..."

Xiao Yanzhi smiled, and said, "Father understands me. Lord Zhao, let someone ring the bell. Xu Liqian must be more anxious to read the imperial edict tomorrow morning. Finish the battle before the funeral."

Xu Lishan clenched the two imperial edicts in his hands, nodded and said, "Okay, we'll end all of this before Father's funeral."

After hesitating for a while, Xu Lishan said again: "Brother Huang, I will arrange things with Jiang Shan together in the palace. Brother Huang, do you want to go back to Prince Wucheng's mansion to rest first? Brother Huang's leg injury..."

As soon as the news of the father's death spread, the palace should be in a state of chaos. Apart from strengthening defenses to protect Yuxi's safety and their own lives, they had nothing else to do, not even the need to investigate spies. In this period, it is easy to kill whoever is not pleasing to the eye, how can I have the energy to check them one by one?As for the daily government affairs of the various government offices, I can't even take care of them. I don't know who will be able to ascend the throne alive in the end, so what kind of government affairs do I care about!

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi looked down at his legs, only to find that the corner of his clothes was stained with blood.

Looking at the emperor on the couch again, Xiao Yanzhi sighed, "Then I'll go back to Prince Wucheng's residence first."

He didn't really want to stay with the silent emperor.

He didn't dare to let Xiao Yanzhi walk again, and he was also afraid that walking too slowly would cause accidents along the way. Xu Ren finally carried Xiao Yanzhi on his back and walked over the wall, and returned to Wucheng Palace with the sound of the funeral bell. A group of people fell from the sky and fell directly into the front yard. At that time, the nurses were so frightened that they showed their weapons one after another.

"Tsk! What are you long eyes for? Put away all your weapons!" There was a fight in the palace for no reason, and now Xu Ren had a headache when he saw the weapons.

When Dong Gui came out from the inside, he saw the blood on Xu Ren and the others from a distance, and his heart froze, but when he walked up to Xu Ren, he asked in a low voice: "Did something happen in the palace? That bell...was real?"

Xu Ren replied in a low voice: "Nonsense, who dares to knock fakes?"

Donggui hurriedly looked at Xiao Yanzhi's face, but no expression of grief could be seen on Xiao Yanzhi's face.

Xiao Chunyue also ran out from inside, rushed to Xiao Yanzhi without saying a word, opened her arms and hugged Xiao Yanzhi tightly.

She didn't understand the bell, but she was just wondering what kind of bell was ringing at noon, and only after asking Donggui did she know that it was the bell for the emperor's funeral.And the emperor is Yan Zhi's biological father, Yan Zhi must be very sad when his biological father dies, right?

Xiao Yanzhi was stunned, and asked with a smile: "Sister, what's the matter?"

But before the words fell, tears fell unpreparedly again, and that indifferent voice instantly became choked up.

Xiao Yanzhi slowly stretched out his hands to hug Xiao Chunyue back, buried his face so that people could not see his expression clearly, but the uncontrollable dull crying still came out intermittently, which made people feel distressed.

In the front yard of Prince Wucheng's mansion, there was no other sound except the faint crying.
