Long Live The Emperor! Chapter 13: Death together
The guards didn't wait for the Ninth Princess, and silently cleaned up the five corpses.
Eunuch Mei found a wheelchair and went back to the palace with the chief executive to heal his injuries. The two fought against the seventh prince, both of them were seriously injured. The life of a high-strength person is really hard. At the level of the chief executive, even if he has three limbs, he can still stay awake.
He wanted to accuse Eunuch Mei of a few words. You blind bastard, you watched the Seventh Prince for two years, that's how you see it?
But when he got to the point of his mouth, he still didn't say it. It was useless to say it. Looking at Eunuch Mei's severed hand, I'm afraid he really didn't know it.
The chief executive sighed softly. After reading the Buddhist scriptures for more than two years, he was still able to act like this. What kind of obsession was hidden in his heart.
In all fairness, the Seven Highnesses are truly a monster of a generation, but their fate is not good. It's a pity.
The hustle and bustle quiets down.
The bloodstains in front of the palace gate were also cleaned.
Xia Ji looked at the sky, Xiao Su should be back, so he didn't leave, waiting by the cold palace gate.
Not long after, a bronze carriage appeared in the distance. The carriage slowly ran over Xuechen, crossed the white-covered long bridge, and stopped in front of Xia Ji.
The wooden window was opened, revealing Xia Xiaosu's face. When she saw her brother in front of the palace, her face changed with fright. She hurriedly shouted "Stop", and then jumped off the carriage with her long skirt on her face. He looked around nervously, and when he saw that there was no one around the palace, he said softly, "Brother, get on the carriage quickly, and I'll take you back to the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion."
Xia Ji did not move.
Xia Xiaosu was in a hurry. She grabbed her brother's hand and was about to pull him back into the car, but she didn't pull him. Instead, Xia Ji pulled him back.
Xia Ji took out the tiger talisman, seal of authority, and imperial decree from his arms, "I am now guarding the imperial capital, and I have been awarded the title of Marshal of the World's Armed Forces."
Xia Xiaosu had a question mark on her face, and accepted the imperial decree suspiciously.
The decree is true, and it is written clearly and plainly.
Xia Ji said again: "The prince is dead, the aliens are too fierce, so the prince fled with the royal family."
The amount of information was too large, and Xia Xiaosu was stunned on the spot.
Xia Ji continued, "There are still more than two days for the ghost party to attack the city."
Xia Xiaosu dared not believe the truth: "Can't the prince's army of 100,000 be able to stop him?"
"All dead."
After saying these three words, Xia Ji seized the opportunity to direct the general and said with a smile, "A while ago you boasted that the prince was covered in golden armor and went out to the border, to make that immortal cause, tell me, are you right? Poisonous milk?"
Xia Xiaosu looked at the toe of the shoe and quibble: "I'm not!"
"The prince is obviously in a good situation, why did he die?"
"Oh, brother, don't talk about this..." Xia Xiaosu bit her lip, leaned over, and said softly, "Let's run away, don't do it, the Marshal of the world's army and horses, run to the south... "
Xia Jidao: "They went to the south."
Xia Xiaosu: "It's really impossible to flee eastward. We flee overseas and live in seclusion until we die of old age."
Xia Ji suddenly said: "Mother was killed by someone."
Xia Xiaosu was silent for a while, her eyes suddenly turned red, "Who?"
"I don't know yet." Xia Ji said, "Tomorrow, I will take you to the east."
"How about you?"
"Xiao Su, brother may be a little stronger than you think, this city may not be unstoppable." Xia Ji looked up at the flying snow in the sky, and said quietly, "Brother has too many things to go to. I do, so my brother can't leave, and I don't want to leave to be a ground mouse and cover my face."
Xia Xiaosu: "Do you want to be a hero to save this imperial city?"
Xia Ji smiled: "No."
Xia Xiaosu curiously said, "That's..."
Xia Ji stroked his sister's long soft hair, and said softly, "My brother just thinks it's the aliens who should run away. Well, tomorrow morning, my brother will arrange for you to leave the imperial city and go to the east side. city."
Xia Xiaosu suddenly said: "No!"
This time, it was Xia Ji's turn to be stunned.
Xia Xiaosu smiled and said, "I just think that since those aliens will run away, why should I leave?"
Xia Ji also laughed.
The younger sister didn't even see her performance just now, so she trusted herself, or rather it was a life-and-death sharing rather than trust.
You go, I go.
You stay, I stay.
You are born, I am born.
If you die, I will follow.
He did not persuade him any more, and simply replied: "Then keep it, and see how my brother retreats from the enemy."
Xia Xiaosu wanted to spit out "Bragging about you", but the words turned into "I will stand on the city wall and watch with my own eyes how my brother defeats those alien races".
At that time, she will bring a cold dagger. When her brother dies, she immediately commits suicide. Then, when she goes to Huangquan, she will not be lonely on the road, and she will be able to take her brother to the army.
Look, let you brag, blow it to death? !
My brother would have been stunned on the spot, unable to refute.
Thinking of her brother's embarrassed appearance, Xia Xiaosu couldn't help laughing.
...
Xia Ji held the imperial decree to guard the imperial city, plus he was the prince, and soon took control of the palace.
Originally, I was still a little unconvinced, but the story of how the seventh prince crushed the chief executive had long since been passed on by the three hundred guards, and those who were unconvinced did so.
The soldiers that Hu Fu can mobilize have long been in the imperial city. There are 50,000 people in total. The general at the head is also a stubborn old general named Deng Jue. The seal of Marshal Ma", asked the general to come to the palace to see him.
Taking advantage of the spare time in the middle, he went directly to the new pavilion of the royal family's collection of scriptures. Although the emperor took away a lot of books, there were still a lot of books left. This is part of it.
There are also private bookstores in the homes of some other great dignitaries. These great dignitaries have also gone south with the royal family, but the books obviously cannot be removed, which is another part.
As for the books of various factions in the imperial capital Jianghu family, in order not to cause turmoil, Xia Ji did not plan to move them for the time being.
He turned on the lamp and stopped and walked in the attic of the library. He would take out every book and read it, turning it page by page, and reciting it to extract skill beads.
For this temporary master of the palace, who may only be able to serve for a few days, the palace maids and eunuchs leading the way and the guards on duty are full of confusion, and the alien races are coming to the city, what other books do you read?
But invisibly, Xia Ji's calmness also affected them.
In the middle of the night, the snow turned mad and gradually overwhelmed his calf. Xia Ji put down a book in his hand and carefully realized the extra green skill bead in his mind. Most of these exercises are skills. The name is really not worth mentioning. After thinking for a while, he grabbed the book on the other side, and just at this moment, the eunuch's shrill news came from far away.
"General Deng Jue is here."
The sound goes from far to near.
Soon, the door of the bookstore was opened.
Xia Ji pressed his fingers back on the book he was about to pull out, turned around, and looked calmly at the old general who had just opened the door.
The general was still wearing his armor, and apparently he had never returned home. His eyes were like falcons, and he was looking at the young man in the house.
If he remembered correctly, the seventh prince was only seventeen, right?
Xia Ji raised the tiger talisman and said loudly, "General Deng, please come in. The situation is urgent, so my Highness will not invite you to drink tea."
Deng Jue said solemnly, "What kind of tea do you want to drink with your head hanging on your waist?"
He walked into the bookstore, closed the door with his backhand, and glanced at the books in the bookstore.
Before the war, start reading?
What is this prince going to do?
When Xia Ji saw him coming in, he didn't say much greeting, and said directly: "The alien race has broken through the seal of the wolf, killed the prince and his army of 100,000, and now goes straight to the imperial city, you can arrive in three days, general. What do you think?"
Deng Jue glanced at the thin-skinned and tender-fleshed prince, and he probably guessed in his heart that this was a ghost left by the royal family, but this prince is known as a Buddha, and at this time, he was so indifferent, not ready to flee in a hurry He couldn't help looking straight at him, and then he smiled: "Do you want the seventh prince to listen to the truth or lie?"
"How about a lie?"
"Everything is subject to the prince."
"How about the truth?"
"The minister will defend the imperial capital, the minister will not die, and the emperor will not be broken."
"What are you going to do?"
Deng Jue was a little surprised, but he still explained his plan exactly, Xia Ji also kept some skill beads in his mind ~IndoMTL.com~ Although he didn't digest these tactics, he had his own skills. The knowledge before crossing, so he can also ask a few words at the possible flaws in Deng Jue's plan, "If the enemy is like this, what should you do?" The two talked in a candlelit night and stopped after discussing for two full hours, which was considered to complete the defense plan.
After the old general finished talking, he was still a little unfinished. Usually he was so nagging that even his subordinates would endure dozing off to listen to him, but he didn't expect this prince to be able to fit into his own rhythm.
Xia Ji said, "General Deng, let's go down."
"Yes."
"By the way, my Highness wants you to defend the imperial city. If the imperial city is broken, you will die here. Although the tiger talisman is in the hands of my highness, my highness will not interfere with your use of troops. Ask me specifically."
Deng Jue said: "Seventh prince, rest assured, this old man would rather die in the imperial city than run away, and he will not spoil the character of this life, but... this old man has one more thing to ask for."
"What's the matter?"
Deng Jue took a deep breath and said loudly: "I want to ask the seventh prince to stay until the last moment. If I feel that I can't hold it any longer, the prince will leave the imperial capital through the east gate. Now the prince is morale, if the prince leaves, then the soldiers Morale will plummet!"
Xia Ji asked back, "Why should I leave?"
Deng Jue was stunned: "Aren't you going?"
"No", Xia Ji shook his head and said calmly, "Do you have any questions?"
Deng Jue was completely stunned. This was completely different from what he thought. It was not until the young prince turned around to read again that he suddenly became alert. Wording: "Marshal, then... the old man has retired."
