Sword Soul. Qianlong

31

The next day and night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

Jin Wang Li Hao led a thousand guards in armor and spears to the south of the palace, outside the majestic Danfeng Gate.

At this time, there was a faint sound of drums not far away, indicating that it was midnight.

Under Li Hao's anxious eyes, the heavy door of Danfengmen finally opened quietly.

Inside the palace gate, a guard of one hundred guards stood in two rows at the door. The leader was quite familiar. He was Li Hao's confidant of the commander's uncle. When he saw Li Hao, he immediately bowed down and bowed down: "His Royal Highness, Commander-in-Chief I have led people to control the Hanyuan Palace, and the special order will come to welcome you."

Li Hao almost laughed out loud on the spot when he heard the words, and secretly praised himself that his uncle's mobility is really good, he is really a good help for him, and it is not in vain that his mother and concubine have supported him both openly and secretly.

Li Hao reservedly coughed lightly, and then, led by the team of imperial guards, walked towards the Hanyuan Hall.

Seeing that it was only a few dozen steps away from the gate of Hanyuan Palace, there was a sudden sound of killing around him. At the same time, at least thousands of guards with strong bows and crossbows, or with bright white blades poured out from the surrounding darkness, and took Li Hao He surrounded him with a thousand personal guards.

Li Hao only looked at the familiar attire, and recognized that the hundreds of guards in the front were the elites of the Strong Crossbow Battalion who were directly assigned by Emperor Shengyuan, and his face changed involuntarily.Shocked, he turned his head to look at his uncle's confidant, but saw that the other party had already drawn out his long sword and was facing him with a sharp blade.

Up to now, no matter how stupid Li Hao is, he still understands that he has fallen into the trick of inviting the king into the urn, and has become the turtle in the urn.

While looking around in panic, I also secretly wondered in my heart, why did my plan leak out when my plan was flawless?

Moreover, according to the report from the scouts, the old guy was already terminally ill and insane, so who arranged such an ingenious trick to trick him into being fooled?

Li Hao was startled and uncertain when he suddenly saw several archers from the strong crossbow battalion in front of him parting ways, and then a figure like Zhilan Yushu, Shi Shiran, was walking towards him. The third younger brother, Qin Wang Li Yan, who is so angry.

Behind Li Yan was a black-clothed boy with a long sword and a stern face. He was the one who single-handedly rescued Li Yan in the Prince Jin's mansion that day.

Li Hao stared in horror at his third younger brother who had a rosy complexion and walked steadily, and said in a broken voice, "You, you are not poisoned?"

Li Yan curled his lips into a smile, but there was no smile in his dark eyes: "If this king hadn't pretended to be in a coma due to poisoning, how could you rest assured that you would collude with Commander Liu to plot rebellion and force the palace?—Take it down!"

Seeing the disparity in strength between the two sides, Li Hao knew that the situation was over, and when the ground was ashen, he slumped to the ground, kowtowing to Li Yan and begging for mercy.

Unmoved, Li Yan waved his right hand.

A team of imperial guards immediately stepped forward, captured Li Hao, and escorted him to Emperor Shengyuan's dormitory to await his punishment.

Li Yan watched him being escorted away by the imperial guards in embarrassment, and he was completely relieved just now, feeling that everything had settled in his heart.

He turned his head to look at Baili Tusu, a look of relaxation finally appeared on his handsome face that had been solemn for many days: "Tu Su, I succeeded."

Baili Tusu stared at his obviously thin and handsome face, feeling mixed emotions in his heart, and remained silent for a long time.

Li Yan knew where his knot was. He stretched out his hand to hold his hand, and said softly, "It's all over. Tu Su, I promise you, I will cherish it by myself in the future, and never put myself in danger again."

Baili Tusu looked back at him, his eyes were both helpless and affectionate, and there was also a bit of indescribable distress.

Even though I know that Yi Ze's decision to use tactics is the most correct, but when I think of him, in order to paralyze his opponents, put his own life and death aside, deliberately take risks and drink poisonous wine, I still can't help but feel heartbroken. ah.

five days ago.

Baili Tusu brought Li Yan, who was poisoned and unconscious, back to Prince Qin's mansion. Not long after, a group of imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital came and prescribed a bunch of antidote for him, but with little effect.

Baili Tusu heard the noisy quarrels of the imperial doctors coming from the outside, and looked at Li Yan, who was unconscious from the poisonous poison, and felt heartbroken. He had never hated himself so much at this moment. powerless.

From the beginning to the end, his only wish was to protect the one he cherished with the three-foot green sword in his hand.

However, even though he had a sword in his hand, he still couldn't protect himself completely, and he could only watch him hovering on the edge of life and death.It hurts so much but there is nothing to do, allowing self-blame and regret to gnaw away at his heart like thousands of poisonous insects.

If he was strong enough, he wouldn't have been seriously injured and comatose within five days after helping the master to cross the catastrophe, and it took more than ten days of cultivation to recover.In this way, he can go down the mountain as soon as possible, and help the barbarian in the capital, instead of letting him fall into danger, isolated and helpless... and finally lie here dying.

Baili Tu Su was blaming himself and secretly hating himself, when he suddenly saw the eyelashes of the person on the bed flicker, and then slowly opened his eyes.

Baili Tusu was overjoyed immediately, and couldn't help but whispered: "Yi..."

As soon as the word "Ze" came to his lips, Li Yan silently mouthed to him to signal silence.

Baili Tusu reacted so quickly, he immediately fell silent when he saw this.

Li Yan blinked, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "How long have I been in a coma?"

"It's already midnight." Baili Tusu stared at his cheeks that were still slightly bright red, and said in a low voice, "Yize, you are poisoned..."

"It doesn't matter. I have the power of Ganmu and Dracaena in my body, and I have already started to detoxify myself. The mortal poison will kill me." Li Yan said in a low voice, "I want to come another day, Ganmu and Dracaena It can force all the toxins out of the body."

It was precisely because he knew this that he drank the highly poisoned wine at the night banquet in Prince Jin's Mansion with peace of mind.

Baili Tusu heard that a hanging heart finally let go, but Li Yan asked in a low voice: "How is Elder Ziyin?"

Baili Tusu also replied in a low voice: "Master has successfully crossed the tribulation and cultivated into a fairy body."

Li Yan said in a low voice, "It's so good", and said: "Don't say anything about my waking up. You ask people to dismiss the imperial doctor. After they leave, I will explain it to you in detail."

It's easy to dismiss the imperial doctors. Those gray-bearded imperial doctors had been arguing for half the night and the whole morning, and they were already exhausted. Baili Tusu told the attendants to invite the imperial doctors into the living room to serve tea and rest , and those people left together.

Only when there was no one around, Li Yan finally revealed his plan to Baili Tusu.

After Baili Tusu listened silently, the expression on his face gradually changed from initial shock to sullenness, and he said, "You deliberately drank poisonous wine at the night banquet, and you did not hesitate to put yourself in danger. The purpose is to make King Jin lose vigilance against you. , lead people to force the palace, so as to use the plan to bring him down?"

Li Yan nodded and said: "Liu Yide, the commander of the imperial army, is Li Hao's uncle. My scouts found out that they had secretly exchanged letters. If I fell from poisoning, no matter how fearful he was, he would definitely be unable to resist cooperating with Liu Yide to force the palace. That man Time is running out and this may be my only chance."

——Only when he saw him collapsed from poisoning with his own eyes, would his incompetent elder brother put aside his worries and plan rebelliously to force the palace.

Baili Tusu felt a surge of anger, and couldn't help but said, "Then have you ever thought about what if the other party refuses to take the bait?"

"That would at least make him guilty of murdering his brother. Although that person is extremely hypocritical, he loves to talk about loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, and he loves face. As long as I come forward to expose Li Hao's crimes, he will definitely do it." Dispose of it." Li Yan said with a smile, "Why not do it in exchange for the greatest benefit at the smallest cost?"

"You..." Baili Tusu was seldom angry, but now Li Yan was so angry that he could hardly speak, and said after a long time, "Just for this, you are willing to risk your life?! If I came half a step late last night , I'm afraid... do you know how sad I would be if you died?!"

Thinking of the scene where Li Yan was drenched in blood last night and half-kneeling weakly on the ground, Baili Tusu still felt terrified and couldn't help being afraid.

"I'm sorry, I won't do it again." Li Yan looked away guiltily, not daring to look at Baili Tusu, "I thought I could get away safely with my own strength, but I didn't expect Li Hao to ask for blood The third person in Luwei. Tu Su, fortunately you came in time, otherwise..."

Baili Tusu: "........."

He was still a little annoyed, but since Li Yan had said so, he couldn't continue to criticize him.

However, as long as he thought that Yi Ze would not hesitate to drink poisoned wine, injure himself, and put himself in danger for a possible chance of winning, he felt angry.

Li Yan naturally saw why he was angry, so he stretched out his hand and held Baili Tusu with one hand, staring at him and saying, "Tu Su, don't be angry. I promise you that no matter what you do in the future, you will talk to him in advance." You discuss it and never make decisions on your own, okay?"

Baili Tusu looked at his slightly apologetic gentle eyes, no matter how much anger was in his heart, he could only sigh, "That's all."

As soon as these two words were uttered, Li Yan showed a smile, then lifted the quilt and half sat up, unexpectedly getting up and getting out of bed.

Baili Tusu was taken aback, and quickly reached out to support his shoulder and said, "Yize, what are you going to do?"

"I'm fine. Tu Su, please use the teleportation technique, and accompany me into the palace to face the saint, and report the King Jin's plot to force the palace."
