The wind blows in the wild, and the dust fills the sky.

Lingzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are cliffs that cannot be climbed to the north, a steep slope to the south, and the Mongolian cavalry in Hetao. Lead troops to patrol in case the Mongolian cavalry raids.

When Zhang Jinzhong came back from inspections outside, Shi Jifang, the deputy envoy, saw that he came back alone, so he couldn't help being a little curious, and asked, "Why did the commander-in-chief go to the inspection alone today? Why don't you bring more people?"

"I just walked around in the woods, what are you doing with so many people?" Zhang Jinzhong said a little unnaturally, with a somewhat perfunctory tone in his tone, and went back to his room without waiting for Shi Jifang to reply.

Looking at his back, Shi Jifang couldn't help frowning, thoughtfully, this piece of Jizhong was a bit weird, obviously, the uncomfortable expression on Zhang Jinzhong's face was seen by him, something must have happened.

Shi Jifang was suspicious, but since the other party had no intention of telling him, it was not a military matter, but he also followed up in the house. At this time, Ningxia Town had fallen and was occupied by Boba. Shi Jifang wanted to attack Ningxia Town I told you, Zhang Jinzhong's face changed when he heard the words: "The Ningxia army hastily sent troops to stop the Hetao cavalry. It doesn't seem very good. If the Mongols take the opportunity to attack..."

"Master Chief Soldier may be over-worrying. Bobai's anti-military equipment is a group of slaves kept in private, forming a Cangtou army. There are as many as 5000 rebels under his command, and less than [-]. All you need to do is recruit from the Ningxia Army. Ten thousand people will be drawn from the central government, and the subordinates will personally lead the troops, and they will definitely take back Ningxia Town." Shi Jifang said with a serious face, very disapproving, but kept staring at Zhang Jinzhong to see his reaction.

Zhang Jinzhong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There is no rush... I have already asked the emperor for instructions, and there will be a decree in a few days, don't act rashly, wait a few more days, everything will be done according to the emperor's wishes."

Shi Jifang was very annoyed when he heard him say this, and seemed unwilling, but Zhang Jinzhong had made up his mind, and he didn't want to say more, so he turned around and left.

After Zhang Jinzhong waited for him to leave, he staggered, walked to the back room, and sat down on the chair, with a look of pain in his eyes, heartbroken, and then he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.

Shi Jifang felt that Zhang Jinzhong's whereabouts were really suspicious, so he sent someone to watch him overnight.In the early morning of the second day, someone came to report to him that the commander-in-chief went out early in the morning and went for a walk in the west forest.

Shi Jifang's heart moved, and he quietly asked someone to prepare a horse to follow.

In the dense forest on the west side of the river, there are endless bushes. Zhang Jinzhong got off his horse, looked at the opposite person coldly, and said impatiently: "What are you thinking? I have already said it yesterday. Even if I die, I will die." If you won’t betray the imperial court, don’t send letters to me, or don’t blame me for being rude.”

The person on the opposite side heard a young man in Tatar costume, about 30 or [-] years old, and said unceremoniously: "Why is Zhang Zongbing angry with me? If he is really loyal to the emperor and patriotic, he will not come to the appointment today."

Zhang Jinzhong's eyes were shattered, and he said in a low voice: "What else do you want! I have suppressed the matter of the Imperial Army for you, and I will never do anything to betray Daming again."

"My father wants you to make an alliance with us, and give up the Ningxia army."

"impossible!"

Bo Yun smiled and said: "Lord Chief Soldier, don't talk so badly. After all, you and we are destined. You were captured by the Mongolian cavalry and you can survive until now thanks to my father's plea. If this matter is known to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason must be clearer than me.”

Hearing this, Zhang Jinzhong's whole body turned cold, his face was livid, he was hesitating, when suddenly there was the sound of dead branches being trampled on behind him, Zhang Jinzhong trembled, and turned around and shouted: "Who!"

Shi Jifang retreated quickly, dodging left and right with great difficulty, filled with horror, he did not expect that Zhang Jinzhong would collude with the Tatars.In order to follow Zhang Jinzhong, the horse was stopped by him a hundred miles away, and he could not escape.Zhang Jinzhong's eyes flickered with murderous intent, and he chopped down with a flick of the long knife, killing him.

"You..." Shi Jifang looked at him in shock, and slumped to the side. Zhang Jinzhong was expressionless, and quickly dropped the sword in his hand. It took a long time to calm down. He took a few deep breaths, but his hands still trembled uncontrollably.

"It seems that the commander-in-chief has made a decision! I'll go back and report to my father." Bo Yun laughed loudly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye after getting on his horse.

Zhang Jinzhong's face was full of grief, he didn't know what to think for a moment, tears were pouring down his face, and he didn't have time to deal with Shi Jifang's body.Then there was a sound of horseshoes coming from far and near, Zhang Jinzhong quickly calmed down, looked up, and was shocked, it was Shi Jifang's banner official, Shi Jin.

Shi Jin jumped off his horse, saw Shi Jifang's body, narrowed his eyes, and lost his voice: "My lord!"

When everyone saw the bloody knife, they all looked at each other in blank dismay. Shi Jin growled, "May I ask why the Chief Soldier killed Fushi Shi?"

Zhang Jinzhong's eyes were cold, and he said calmly: "Shi Jifang colluded with the Tatar rebels. I have been aware of him for some time. Today, I finally caught this flirt. He intended to attack me and was killed by him."

Shi Jin's eyes were full of disbelief, he clenched his fists tightly, and said: "Master Shi is an official ordered by the court, why did the commander-in-chief want to kill him? Everyone knows that Master Shi is a strict and upright man, and he has no intention of collaborating with the enemy and treason."

"I saw him talking with Bobai's adopted son Boyun with my own eyes. When they fought just now, Zhao Zhao wanted to put me to death, so he killed him by mistake. If he hadn't stopped him, I would have killed Naboyun If you take it down, how can you let him escape."

If Shi Jifang is dead and no one else knows about it, Shi Jin doesn't really believe Zhang Jinzhong's words, he just thinks that he hates Shi Jifang, thinking that Shi Jifang sent people to watch Zhang Jinzhong in recent days, I'm afraid there is something shameful It was only when the other party found out about the matter that he killed him, but Shi Jin didn't think about collaborating with the enemy and treason. It is true that Zhang Jinzhong is now a high-ranking official, and he is quite a big official.

When Shi Jifang entered the woods, he couldn't wait for his subordinates, so he once asked Shi Jinruo to take people in to find him if he didn't come out in a quarter of an hour.

Shi Jin stared at Zhang Jinzhong for several days without seeing anything strange, so he was surprised and kept his eyes on him even more closely.

At night, the silver light is everywhere, the wind pierces the clear bamboo, and there is a rustling sound.

At this time, the first moon is white and the wind is clear, and this place is a golden building and jade palace. Zhu Yijun, wearing a ribbon around his waist, walked unhurriedly to the Huangji Hall. As if standing in the clouds.

Huangji Hall, also known as Jinluan Hall, is covered with golden glazed tiles, shining brightly.Below is the gold brick floor, as flat as a mirror, smooth and delicate, as if sprinkled with a layer of water, giving off a dim light.

Although the golden light is brighter than the moonlight, people still seem to be standing in the clouds.

Zhu Yijun raised his eyes, and saw the handsome young man sitting on the gold-painted and carved dragon chair with a vague smile on his lips. He was wearing a yellow robe, and the bottom panel was a eight-treasure standing water skirt that was split left and right.

Regardless of his figure and appearance, they were all exactly the same as him, just like his own shadow, and what he was wearing were exactly Zhu Yijun's clothes.

"The color of the robe is bright yellow, the leader is all azure with golden borders, embroidered with nine golden dragons, arranged in twelve chapters, with five-color clouds in between, one front and back dragons on the collar, one dragon on the left and right sides and one front dragon on the lapel, and one dragon on the sleeve end , the lower part of the eight-treasure standing water skirt is left and right."

This is the emperor's court dress.

Zhu Yijun's face darkened, but he still held his breath. There was an old eunuch standing beside the dragon chair. It was Eunuch Lu.This scene is very similar to him and Feng Bao back then.

At this moment, he already understood why the empress dowagers of the two palaces disappeared.

"You are the son of King Jing? It has changed a lot."

Zhu Yijun's tone was sarcasm, and Prince Jing lowered his head and did not reply.

"Leaving the fief without authorization and entering the capital privately, even if I have a heart to protect each other, it's a pity that your mind is not pure, I'm afraid it's..."

King Jing's son raised his head and interrupted him: "I'm afraid we will die."

"good."

King Jing's son had a strong waist and a fierce look in his eyes. He said sharply, "Since you know the law, why do you still want to break the law? Even if I intend to save your life, I cannot let you step out of the Emperor's Hall today."

They wanted Li Daitao to be stiff and use King Jing's son to pretend to be him. Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "You should recognize your identity. No matter what method you use, if you look similar, you are not me after all. If you imitate even more, you will be imitating me. It pales in comparison."

The son of the Southern King sneered: "I was ordered by the heavens, and I was ordered by the first emperor, so why should the emperor imitate you today."

He glanced at Zhu Yijun out of the corner of his eye, very disappointed.Suddenly he sighed, and murmured: "I really don't understand, I don't want to be a good little prince, but I want to go to Beijing to die, what is this for?"

Zhu Yijun finally couldn't help laughing loudly: "I don't understand, how did you come up with such absurd things?" He said, looking at the old eunuch with cold eyes, and said: "I didn't expect that even you I also participated in it, the empress treats you well, the eunuchs are really guinea pigs, they are greedy."

Lu Fang trembled, feeling more guilty, and said in a low voice: "I didn't want to do this, but there are too many unsatisfactory things in the world."

Zhu Yijun sneered, looked at the dim lights behind the main hall, the dim light in the hole, he obviously didn't pay attention to them, and said: "Since I'm already standing here, why should the uncle hide? With people?"

For a moment, the candlelight flickered behind the main hall, followed by a burst of heroic laughter, King Jing walked out of the hall, walking like a dragon or a tiger, with an air of calm and prestige in his actions.

He walked up to the dragon chair, he looked out of the ordinary, he was not inferior to others, and he had the demeanor of an emperor.King Jing's son got up consciously, King Jing stroked the dragon's head, he was not in a hurry to sit down, and said: "There are some things I didn't want to say, but I really can't help it."

Zhu Yijun said, "Say it."

"Do you know when I started planning this?"

King Jing didn't need Zhu Yijun to reply, he said to himself: "It has already started before your father ascended the throne."

He was radiant, sitting on the dragon chair, dignified and majestic, as if he was already a wise and mighty emperor, and said with a smile: "Your father can't be the emperor, and now even you can't sit firmly in this position. Do you know why?"

Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows: "Say it."

The King of Jing looked directly at Zhu Yijun, and said coldly, "Because the throne was supposed to belong to the lineage of King Jinghuai, and your father and son took over the position. The dignified descendant of the surname Zhu was actually controlled by eunuchs. , Playing with the applause, a woman hangs down the curtain on my Ming Dynasty government, it is simply ridiculous."

"I have asked someone to kill you many times, but I didn't expect..."

Zhu Yijun interrupted him: "I didn't expect that I'm not dead, but I can still stand here and talk to you."

"Yes, but that's all. I have already surrounded the Huangji Hall, and I can take you down with just one order, and your guard commander is watching the sword in Qianqing Palace."

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "Sure enough, you have internal support in the palace. You are not afraid that if you stretch your hands too far, you will be struck by lightning sooner or later."

King Jing didn't take it seriously, propped his chin with one hand, sighed intentionally, and said, "I'm afraid you won't see that day. Manager Lu, take this person down quickly."

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "You're being careless. If it wasn't for certain things, how could I come here?"

At this time, four people appeared behind Zhu Yijun. The height of these four people was less than three feet, and they were exactly the same in figure, appearance, clothing and decoration.

Especially their faces, with their small eyes, big noses, protruding heads and deflated mouths, are indescribably ridiculous.

The sword was one foot and seven inches long, the blue light was flickering, and the cold air was overwhelming. Three people used double swords, and one person used a single sword. Can't open it.

The four brothers were born in the same birth. Although they are not tall, the four brothers share the same mind. The four of them joined hands to display their family's hand-crafted Flying Fish Seven Star Sword. There are not many people who can't rank first, and can break their ranks.

Not only are they strange swordsmanship, but they are even more withdrawn. Unexpectedly, they were placed in the palace by Luo and became Zhu Yijun's personal guards.

Zhu Yijun said: "Kill!"

The brilliance of the seven swords flowed, and the stars flickered, immediately covering King Jing and his son.

Prince Jing's son waved his hands and said in a low voice, "Broken."

The screams came out, and suddenly, a sword light danced obliquely, the sword wind pierced the wind, the dragon cut it, and stabbed over like lightning.

The sword lights all over the sky intersected, and suddenly there were four sounds of "ding, ding, ding, ding", sparks splashed everywhere, and all the sword lights all over the sky suddenly disappeared.

The swords of the Yu family brothers have all been broken, and all the members of the Yu family brothers have fallen down.

The sword was in the hands of a man in white, with snow-white clothes, a pale face, and cold eyes, and the aura of the sword was overwhelming.

Zhu Yijun's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "If you are really the Lord of Baiyun City, I still have some difficulties. If you are not, then there is no need to hold back."

'Ye Gucheng' sneered and said: "If your majesty knows that I am not Ye Gucheng, you can recognize the flying fairy I just recruited."

Zhu Yijun said: "You are extremely fast, even the Lord Baiyun can't match you. It's a pity that you don't need a sword, it's better to have two swords. It seems that sword skills are more like sword dance, which is far worse than him."

There was a smile in Zhu Yijun's voice, because he already knew who the person in front of him was, the long-dead Aunt Gongsun.

Seeing that Zhu Yijun had guessed her identity, Aunt Gongsun turned pale, cold sweat broke out on the tip of her nose, and she gripped the hilt of her sword tightly.Zhu Yijun's eyes were as cold as a pool, and he was not angry but arrogant, and said: "I am ordered by the heavens, how dare you act rashly?"

King Jing's son saw Aunt Gongsun's hesitation, and said: "Gongsun Lan, this is the end, if you don't kill him, he will kill you."

Aunt Gongsun's face turned blue and white, and finally stomped her feet, took out two swords from behind, and swung them over.

The wind blows in from the window, the moonlight shines in from the window, the wind is as cold as the moon.

However, at this moment, a person suddenly flew in from the window.

His agility is faster than the wind and lighter than the moonlight, but his weight in the rivers and lakes is heavier than Mount Tai.

He blocked Aunt Gongsun's sword, and there was no sword in the world that he couldn't block except Ximen Chuuxue.

"Lu Xiaofeng!" Aunt Gongsun breathed out.At this moment, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Standing here, not only did she not dare to laugh as usual, she couldn't even laugh, and her breathing became lighter.The majesty of heaven is hard to offend, and the majesty of the nine-fold emperor is something that martial arts heroes like them can lightly offend.

Behind Lu Xiaofeng were two people, Zhu Xixiao and Wei Ziyun.

King Jing raised his head, and was surrounded on all sides as he said, but it was not the private soldiers of Prince Jing's mansion, but the Jinyiwei of Beizhen Fusi. Also almost like a net.

There are not only knife nets, but also spear forests and sword mountains.

The golden arms reflect the bright moon, the cold shines on the iron clothes, and the majesty and evil spirit in the Forbidden City is definitely beyond anyone's imagination.

They don't practice swords, so naturally they don't go to see swords.

King Jing's expression changed, and after a long silence, he said coldly, "Nephew, don't you want to save your two mothers?"

Zhu Yijun's face suddenly changed, becoming indescribably terrifying.

Hearing this, Wei Ziyun took a step forward, frowned, and said, "Your Majesty, King Jing is extremely cunning, so he must not be trusted. Now he is at the end of his rope, and there are very few soldiers left under him. Now that the Empress Dowager is threatening him, the Emperor has to prevent him from delaying his troops. , so as to prevent him from escaping and leave behind to contact the soldiers and horses outside the city."

"Nian Zaitong is of the blood of the late emperor, first put this person in the prison and execute him at dawn."

Zhu Yijun didn't move, but Prince Jing felt an indescribable pressure, like an invisible mountain, which made his pupils shrink, his muscles tensed, his gaze became sharper, sharper than a sword, as if he already had a sword in his hand sword.

Prince Jing's son slumped on the ground, unable to recover for a moment.

At this time, the first moon is white and the wind is clear, and this place is a golden tower and jade tower,

Qianqing Palace, that is, the top of the Forbidden City, of course, is also the top of Qianqing Palace.The hall is tens of feet high, and the ridge of the roof is covered with glazed tiles that are not slippery. It is difficult to go up to the sky.What's more, it was the emperor's bedroom, the place where he received courtiers and officials on weekdays. The guards were so strict that there was no other place in the world that could compare with it.

At this time, the light of the stars and the moon faded, and all the brilliance of the sky and the earth had concentrated on the two swords.

Their blades have not even touched, but they have already started to change continuously. People move very slowly, but their blades change very quickly, because they have changed as they wish before they even make a move.

Twenty changes passed in an instant.

At this moment, this is the last sword, the sword that decides the outcome.

It's just that Ye Gucheng didn't have time to fully use the most overbearing sword.Ximen Chuuxue was the fastest sword, and it was already attacking his chest, and Ye Gucheng's sword that pierced his throat had deviated.

At this last moment, Ximen Chuuxue's sword also slowed down, and was about to take back this deadly killer.

Too bad it's too late.

Ye Gucheng knew that all the joy and good things in his life would end in an instant.

Now his life is about to end, under Ximen Chuuxue's sword!

Dawn has come, but the world seems to be colder and darker.

At this moment, a strange figure suddenly flashed across the Qianqing Palace. His movements were extremely fast, and he moved like a ghost, as if a twilight had just emerged, cold, hazy, and mysterious!

This white figure was extremely fast, took the opportunity to stun Ye Gucheng, and flashed outside the Forbidden City in an instant, and disappeared when everyone recovered.

The bright moon has disappeared, and the starlight has also disappeared, disappearing in the first dawn in the east!
