Shen Lin had no father since he was a child, and his mother also passed away five years ago. He has never married a wife, so the mansion is usually clean. After Su's house was burned down, Su Jingci has always lived in Shen's mansion.

Before dawn, Xing Ye hurried to Shen Lin's residence, and saw Shen Lin standing at the door of his house, like a wooden makeup.

"I came as soon as I received the letter, Yun Yuni?" Xing Ye asked as he got off the carriage. He hadn't slept soundly these days, and he was a bit haggard at the moment, "Did Feng Bailu go to the city gate too?"

Shen Lin nodded first, and then said: "Yunyu has already left."

Xing Ye was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent.

Yu Jia went outside the city yesterday, and he must be entering the city today, Feng Bailu rushed there with obvious purpose.

He is going to kill the king!

"The Nanfu army has at least 15 people." Xing Ye was worried and helpless, so he could only sigh: "Yunyu's trip is too dangerous. It's a pity that you and I can only lift a pen, but we can't help you at all." on him."

The sons of Daliang's aristocratic families all practiced the six arts, and Su Jingci was naturally the best among them. He was excellent in riding and shooting, and could afford a sword. It's just that he didn't like to wield swords and guns on weekdays, but Shen Lin and Xing Ye were different.

A bastard from a poor family, a concubine from a high family, put all his attention on studying, and never got on a horse while hunting!

Shen Lin clenched his fists, he clenched his teeth, and said decisively: "How long have you waited to look forward to the current Daliang. As soon as the war in the north began to dawn, he, Qiao Zihan, sold Daliang in a blink of an eye! Let the barbarians beat him Lingyang Pass! I, Shen Lin, do not recognize such an emperor. If Your Majesty wins today, I will still be Liang Chen. If Your Majesty loses one by one."

"Daliang is dead!"

Xing Ye lowered his eyes and sighed softly. After a while, he asked, "It seems that you have already made plans?"

Shen Lin didn't answer, but asked instead: "The military general died in battle, what about the civil servants?"

Xing Ye was startled, but without waiting for him to answer, Shen Lin said loudly: "A loyal minister died for the country!"

If Ming Wanzhao died in front of the city gate today, Daliang would be no different from a subjugated country!

In Chengming Pavilion, the sky was bright, Bai Tan turned off the lights, and Qiao Zihan, who hadn't slept all night, suddenly said hoarsely: "How long has Feng Bailu been gone?"

Bai Tan held the handkerchief, wiped the candlestick, lowered his eyes and said: "It's been more than half an hour."

Qiao Zihan let out an "ah", lost his mind, looked outside the door frequently, and drank the slightly cold tea in one gulp.

Bai Tan walked to him with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, and refilled a cup in the cup.

At the gate of the city, the fighting is in full swing.

As soon as Ming Wanzhao entered the gate, the heavy city gate closed again. The Nanfu army who had been guarding here for a long time released arrows, and the arrows fell like fine rain. Covering himself in front of him, he shook his wrists and used his thick cloak to roll down the flying arrows. At the same time, someone suddenly shouted loudly: "Guard! Open the city gate!"

Suddenly, someone in the Nanfu army slashed at his own people with a knife, and the situation became chaotic. Before the Nanfu army entered the city, Jiang Zhou summoned spies from five cities near Yijing. People killed the city gate guards and mixed in.

Jiang Zhou was standing on the top of the city gate, while the spies below had rushed to Ming Wanzhao's side. The Nanfu army was caught off guard and was thrown into disarray for a while, but after all, the opponent had a large number of people, and Ming Wanzhao knew it well. , Feng Bailu will soon regroup.

"Kill Ming Wanzhao!" Feng Bailu said in a high voice, at the same time, he rode his horse and raised his knife and went straight towards Ming Wanzhao, like a cornered beast.

Just kill him!Great things can happen today!

The Nanfu army who had calmed down rushed forward.

In the melee, Ming Wanzhao fought and retreated, he just had to delay until Lu Yunchuan entered the city!

The sounds of fighting at the gate of the city kept coming and going, and the secret agents in Lingxi were outnumbered after all. Jiang Zhou was quick on his feet, rushed down the gate tower and shouted at the top of his voice, "Protect Your Majesty!"

At the same time, a loud roar sounded outside the city gate: "Kill __!"

It was Lu Yunchuan's Xifu army who had attacked the city gate.

The Xifu army didn't bring too many tools for attacking the city this time, so they mainly used flying claws to climb up the city wall. Lu Yunchuan rushed to the front, carrying a heavy knife on his back, holding flying claws and kicking on the city wall, like flying over a wall.

As the rolling stone fell, Lu Yunchuan kicked his toes against the wall and swung out with his flying claws. After avoiding it, he jumped up a few steps.

In the city, Feng Bailu's eyes were already red-eyed, and he rushed to Ming Wanzhao, and slashed down with a knife. The knife has been raised again.

"Die!"

Ming Wanzhao's expression froze, and he yanked the reins, Wu Yuxue neighed, and suddenly raised his front hooves, dodging Feng Bailu's stab at the horse's leg.

Inside and outside the walls, they are also fighting for time.

The outcome depends on whether Feng Bailu kills the king first, or Lu Yunchuan enters the city first!

The Nanfu army was cornered and fought back frantically. For a while, Lu Yunchuan was stuck on the city wall and couldn't get off the wall. Ming Wanzhao, who hadn't recovered from his body, was also struggling to resist. During the struggle, a group of people suddenly appeared in the distance. The horse rushed forward, like a sharp knife without any explanation, it plunged into the Nanfu army surrounding Ming Wanzhao, tearing a hole in it.

Su Jingci saw Ming Wanzhao who had been forced under the city gate at a glance, immediately rode his horse and rushed forward, holding a sword in his hand and said: "Mr. Su Jingci, it's too late for help!"

All of a sudden, there were several passionate climaxes all around.

"Zheng Silian, a student of Taixue, it's too late for help!"

"Yin Yong, a student of Taixue, came too late to rescue him!"

"Tai Xue student..."

It was too late to call for help, the young students who had not yet entered the court as officials came, they rode horses on a rampage, did not know strategy, did not know the art of war, they all killed each other with sword and horse.

Ming Wanzhao was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "It's just in time!"

Su Jingci raised his sword to block another knife from Feng Bailu for Ming Wanzhao, and was almost knocked off his horse. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Don't love to fight! Open the city gate! Open the city gate to welcome the army into the city!"

Ming Wanzhao was firmly guarded at the center by the spies from Lingxi and the sudden arrival of soldiers from the Sufu army. They knew that they were no match for the Nanfu army, so they chose the only and safest way. Ban Zhao, there is hope of victory!

Ming Wanzhao saw Feng Bailu fighting desperately, his eyes were slightly red, he clenched the hilt of his sword tightly, and just about to make a move, he saw a rope coming down from the city wall behind him, followed by a second rope. Throwing from the city wall, Lu Yunchuan descended along the rope, as if falling from the sky.

The Xifu army rushed to the city gate.

As soon as Lu Yunchuan landed, the heavy knife was also held in his hand. In the shadow of the sword, he hurriedly glanced at Ming Wanzhao, seeing that he was still fully bearded, so he was relieved, and then went straight to Feng Bailu who was rushing forward without any hesitation. Going forward, he smashed down with the knife, and the back of the knife immediately hit the horse's leg.

The steed wailed and collapsed, Feng Bailu couldn't retreat, rolled twice on the ground in embarrassment, and before he could get up on the ground, the sharp blade touched the back of his neck.

Feng Bailu's scalp went numb, and his heart sank completely.

The Xifu army passed by over the wall, and the city gate was soon opened again. The armored Xifu army poured into the city like a torrent. Seeing Feng Bailu's defeat, the Nanfu army was immediately defeated. They had no more fighting intentions and retreated one after another. , like loose sand.

Victory is decided.

"You Jin!" Lu Yunchuan called out, and then ordered: "Chase!"

You Jin replied yes, and immediately rode his horse and led his troops to chase after him.

Ming Wanzhao's heartstrings that had always been tense finally relaxed a little. He got off his horse and went to see the injured Taixue students in person. Led by Su Jingci, the students got off their horses and knelt down, shouting long live.

Ming Wanzhao leaned over himself, helped Su Jingci up, and said with a smile, "You did a good job."

The two looked at each other, and Su Jingci smiled as if relieved, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Gentlemen, please get up, I will write down what I did today." Ming Wanzhao went to help the other students, and the students who were still passionate just now looked at each other in blank dismay, got up hastily, and some even had the same hands and feet.

After soothing, Ming Wanzhao raised his head and looked around his eyes, the warm light fell on the bloody corpse, and the strong smell of blood lingered.

The emperor's fur cloak had long been thrown away. He was dressed in a moon-white arrow suit, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the bloody road paved for the country, and was fascinated for a while.

carve.

One by one, the sacrifice was too tragic, but fortunately, they survived

Lu Yunchuan stepped on Feng Bailu's back with one foot, and was studying where to cut the knife. Seeing Ming Wanzhao walking slowly, he bent his eyes and smiled, "Fortunately, it's not a disgrace."

After a while, he said silently with his mouth again: "Don't forget to reward."

He glanced at him with raised eyebrows, then looked down at Feng Bailu, who was lost in spirit, and said softly: "Grand Su is kind to you, and I have never treated you badly." Feng Bailu remained silent, his whole body was stiff. He knew early on that if he failed, it must be an abyss.

But he still hasn't fought!

Ming Wanzhao understood that it was nothing more than lack of greed, he looked at Lu Yunchuan and said, "There is no need to interrogate."

There is no need for a trial, collaborating with the enemy, treason, and rebellion are all serious crimes against the nine clans!

Lu Yunchuan understood, Wu Chihan's blade wiped across Feng Bailu's neck in an instant, then moved his foot away, carried the blood-stained blade behind his back, and said, "There's only one left."

Ming Wanzhao's eyebrows and eyes were light, "The turtle in the urn cannot escape."

As soon as Feng Bailu died, the Nanfu army immediately retreated to the palace, but the Chengming Pavilion was quiet as before.

Qiao Zihan couldn't wait any longer, and within a quarter of an hour, the look of madness and anxiety in his eyes would increase. Finally, he stood up abruptly, and said with a serious face: "Order, get the horse ready, I'm going to go in person." Take a look at the city gate."

Bai Tan didn't move this time, he stood there, smiled slightly, and said, "No need."

Qiao Zihan turned his head suddenly, his eyes were as sinister as a poisonous snake, he just said "you", and then stopped suddenly, his expression was a little stiff.

"Did you find it? It's almost time." Bai Tan said with a smile, picked up the empty teacup from the table and played with it in his hand, "So there is no need to go, whether or not His Majesty enters the palace safely today, you will die undoubtedly."

Qiao Zihan sat back paralyzed, wishing to curl up, his chest and abdomen were burning like fire, as if his internal organs were about to be melted, the poison was silent before, but once it happened, it was extremely unbearable.

"You poisoned...!" Qiao Zihan's face twisted, staring at Bai Tan's smiling face.

"That's right, I put the poison on." Bai Tan said something to himself, then raised his eyes and looked at him with a smile, "You have to blame yourself, you have no one to blame."

In the past, the mountains and rivers of Daliang were crumbling, as if they could not stand the wind and rain, and they might collapse at any time. Bai Tan had no hope for Ming Wanzhao and Daliang. justice.

The further he walked, the more he saw. It was true that the building would collapse, but someone used their flesh and blood to hold on to the unbearable mountains and rivers.

"You shouldn't lure foreign enemies in." Bai Tan continued, throwing the teacup in his hand to the ground, his tone became more and more cold: "You shouldn't force Lao Su to death, you want to be emperor, are you worthy? Before entering the palace I knew what path I was going to take, whether it was killing the king or seizing power, if that old guy Anxi could do it, I would naturally be able to do it too! But I don’t do it for anything else, I just want to stand in this mountain and river At that time, as far as the eye could see, everything was peaceful and happy, but what about you—”

Bai Tan let out a roar, he leaned over suddenly, clutched the corner of Qiao Zihan's clothes, met those eyes of hatred and sarcasm, and laughed softly, "Do you know why it's so easy for me to poison you?" ? Your Majesty’s daily food and drink, there are people who test poison, but you are not here, Bailu and Qi Lingyun are not here, do you think there is anyone in this palace or court who is willing to do things for you?"

The reason why we only started today is because Qi Lingyun was not easy to fool before, he was too cautious, while Qiao Zihan was conceited and extremely arrogant, thinking that he had the chance to win, otherwise he would not have left Bai Tan because he wanted to compete with Ming Wanzhao. This hidden danger is around.

Qiao Zihan's eyes were about to burst, but when he opened his mouth, he vomited dirty blood, which dripped on the brocade robe, and he couldn't speak a word, only some unclear syllables.

This poison has been dormant for a long time, but when it explodes, it is extremely violent.

He regretted that he hadn't killed this eunuch earlier!Qiao Zihan never expected that he would fall into the hands of an eunuch!

Bai Tan withdrew his hand contemptuously, took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood stained on his fingertips little by little, and said with lowered eyes: "Go at ease, this world is not where you should stay."

Qiao Zihan sat on the chair with his eyes wide open and took his last breath.

Bai Tan didn't even look at him, and raised his voice: "Come here."

The two young eunuchs who were waiting outside came in with lowered eyes, they were horrified when they saw the corpse behind the case.

"Drag the corpse to the gate of the palace." Bai Tan ordered in a low voice, "Tell the Nanfu army on duty that the traitor has been executed, whether to die or surrender, you can decide for yourself."

He is betting.

If Ming Wanzhao can pass the test of Feng Bailu, there will be hope for Ming Liang's country, if not...

Bai Tan dropped the veil expressionlessly, thinking to himself, that's also destiny, so you have to admit it.

The Nanfu army retreated all the way to the palace gate. When You Jin led the army to catch up to the palace gate, he had already received a lot of surrendered soldiers, and the rest of the Nanfu army was also demoralized. In addition, Bai Tan ordered Qiao Zihan's corpse to be captured. Throwing it in front of the palace gate, the Nanfu army who had fled here completely lost their fighting spirit when they saw it.

Even the master is dead, what else is there to fight?

When Ming Wanzhao's royal driver arrived at the palace gate in his previous life, all civil and military officials had already heard the news and waited on the palace road. They had heard the emperor's triumphant return, and even heard that the emperor exchanged himself for the courtiers and family members before the battle, and they knelt down in unison. The palace road, shouted long live, welcome the emperor back to the palace.

It was Duke Rongsu of Lingxi who personally escorted His Majesty back to the palace. He sat in His Majesty's carriage and escorted him, which can be said to be conscientious.
