Spirit of the Phoenix: 134. Weakness
Li Yanxiu led three hundred elites to ambush outside the Xuanwu Gate. At the moment of life and death, everyone's expressions were heavy, and the surrounding was silent, even a needle could be heard falling on the ground.
Tai'an was caught in the "Saint Ancestor's Instructions", and the meat was hidden in Li Yanxiu's arms.
All she could hear were his slightly heavy breathing under tension.
Hot sweat permeated his body little by little, while Li Yanxiu lowered his head apologetically, and unbuttoned his neckline with one hand, letting the cool night breeze penetrate into his chest.
The thin book was kept away from the sweat under the cool wind, and she was comfortable under his meticulous care, and she was never polluted by sweat.
"Wait a little longer..." His tone was forbearing and guilt filled, "Tonight is a matter of life and death, so you can stay in my arms. When this matter is over, you and I will never have to separate again, and everything will be smooth. Just trust me."
Ten years ago, there was a choice between him and her between Jiangshan and Qingyi, but it was obvious that he had a mistake and gave up on her.
And he missed her life, so what's the current tenderness and consideration?
Tai'an lowered his head. The decision to die together had already been firmly made, but at this moment the pain in her chest was so intense and real that it burned her to death.
The sky is getting darker, dusk is approaching, the light rain that has been pattering all day is gradually getting heavier, and the two princes, accompanied by Xiyue altar, are riding tall horses, and enter the palace from Xuanwumen to attend the banquet in high spirits.
More than a thousand personal guards of the two princes were stopped and waited outside the Xuanwu Gate as usual. However, the Imperial Forest Army subordinate to Li Yanxiu suddenly lowered the city gate at this time, and trapped the two of them in a urn inside the square wall to catch the turtle.
The city gate fell, Li Yanxiu appeared from the wall, personally took the bow and shot the first arrow, aiming at the eyebrow of his biological brother. Nervously, he missed a single blow, and then he drove his horse forward, drew out the knife at his waist, and fought with the Li brothers.
Tai'an clenched his fists tightly in Li Yanxiu's arms, vaguely unable to tell whether he was hoping for success or failure in his heart. Fearing that he would fail, he would be killed by the two Li brothers at this moment; fearing that he would succeed, the person who killed him became her who was heartbroken and desperate.
She didn't struggle for too long.
The sound of the rain and the bells, amidst the roar of the golden soldiers, was extraordinarily magnificent. She closed her eyes, and clearly heard the sound of the long knife in his hand blocking the impact of the fight, and also heard the muffled sound of the sharp blade piercing the flesh one after another.
But beside her, he didn't even shake his body, sitting firmly on the saddle.
The victory has been decided. Tai'an opened his eyes, and saw that within the time of two cups of tea, he killed the two brothers in a flash.
And he felt her gaze, lowered his head and poured out tenderness: "Tai'an, wait a little longer. Soon, everything will be over."
It's going to be over soon...will be over.
The biggest threat has been eliminated. Li Yanxiu's ten years of keeping quiet has finally paid off.
The rain poured down at night, and his arched chest and back shielded her from the rain. He rode a horse in the rain, and the horse's hooves splashed waves like water, rippling on the bluestone bricks of Yongxiang.
The Xuanwu Gate fell, and the Imperial Forest Army rebelled. The Emperor Li Chongyou by the Taiye Pool heard the news and came, but he only had time to cut off Li Yanxiu, who was dressed in cold armor, in front of the Qingliang Hall.
There are two guards behind Li Yanxiu, one on the left and one on the right, holding the heads of his elder brother and younger brother. The emperor's footsteps stopped abruptly, and when he was about to speak, he tasted the rust of iron in his mouth.
Sure enough, he is his second son who never disappoints.
The childhood sweetheart lover can abandon the old love without thinking about it. Brothers with deep brotherhood can also be beheaded without hesitation.
What's more, his father who is in the way?
Li Chongyou looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, his eyes were about to split again, he gritted his teeth and said to Li Yanxiu: "You should get rid of your brother, do you need to sit in this country? If you want to go to the Golden Temple today, unless you personally kill your father , stepping on my dead body.”
Not yet, not yet. Tai'an huddled tightly in Li Yanxiu's arms, pricking up his ears to listen to the voices outside the palace.
Tonight, a banquet was held by the Taiye Pool. In order to prevent the guards from colliding with the concubines in the inner palace, the emperor only stayed with eunuchs capable of martial arts to accompany him.
Li Yanxiu didn't take Li Chongyou seriously at all, and the Imperial Forest Army stepped forward layer by layer, taking down the chief supervisors in front of the emperor one by one, and said calmly: "Father is old, and he should enjoy the family relationship early, why bother to be greedy?" Power. In my opinion, the feng shui of Zhaoyang Palace is very suitable for recuperation, so why don't you just move out tonight if you are the father."
After the emperor's mocking laughter, there was the sound of close combat. Tai quietly listened to Li Yanxiu beside him calmly, meeting his aging father.
The emperor's roar, accompanied by the tumbling candlesticks and flames in Qingliang Hall, became the last struggle of the trapped beast before it was captured.
Not yet...why not yet. By this time, Tai'an's mood had also changed from calmness to endless anxiety.
She saw that Li Chongyou's arm was scratched by Li Yanxiu, and the guards of the Royal Forest Army rushed forward and pinned the former emperor to the ground. She also saw someone screaming at the tsunami, bowing to Li Yanxiu in Qingliang Hall, and covering him with a bright yellow cloak.
Her eyes were filled with yellow, and the rainstorm stopped vaguely. The general beside him gave auspicious words of welcome at the right time, and he laughed haha, raised his arms proudly, and called for the guards to send Li Chongyou to Zhaoyang Palace .
Everything went so smoothly, Li Yanxiu's enthronement as the new emperor was almost a certainty.
She counted silently in her heart, exhausted all her patience, and quietly waited for the final news.
The rain stopped.
Suddenly there was a commotion in the distance, as if a guard came running out of breath, bowing his head and whispering to Li Yanxiu.
There was a very surprised expression on his face, his brows were high, his thin lips were slightly parted, and he opened his mouth and said: "But I heard wrong? How could King Ding..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
At this time, when he heard the word "Ding Wang", Tai'an, who had been hiding in the book, suddenly jumped up, spun around in the air, and turned himself into a conical tube from the front thick to the back. , rolled into an extremely thin and extremely long paper arrow, taking advantage of the moment Li Yanxiu was distracted by speaking, it slammed out from his open skirt and poked straight at the center of his eyebrows!
Without mercy, the paper arrow was so fast that it was determined to kill him.
Li Yanxiu was startled, subconsciously leaned back, dodged the attack of the paper arrow at the last moment, but fell to the ground.
Tai'an in the air did not take advantage of the situation to attack, but flew around and turned into a paper man with long arms, tightly hugging the lampstand in Qingliang Hall, and hit Li Yanxiu again with the tip.
He swung the lamp stand away with a "ding", and only then did he realize what she wanted to do, and he couldn't help but roared angrily: "Tai'an, are you crazy?"
The lampstand fell and failed to hurt him. But the lamp oil spilled from the lampstand and splashed all over him.
She didn't say a word, her pale complexion expressed her attitude clearly, and before he got up, she flew into the hall again and came out with another lampstand in her arms.
Time and time again, she threw the lampstand over like a child losing her temper, and he swung it away again.
After the initial shock, the guards beside him also saw the clues and shouted, "Don't be surprised, saint, this must be a witchcraft set by the Supreme Emperor to harm you!"
Some of the guards bent their bows, aiming their arrows at Tai'an who was struggling to carry the lampstand.
Her ridiculous figure is like Jingwei who fills the sea. She knows that she is doing something impossible, but she clenches her teeth and refuses to give up.
"Do it!" she roared, "Let your guards do it! You've been alone for a long time, and at this point, you still have to play some dramas of family and country love?"
However, he somehow felt that the current scene was a bit ridiculous, and he burst out laughing because of her half-toned killing situation, and shook his head helplessly: "Taian...has already died once, how can he be more scheming than he is?" No?"
"You live on my blood, how can you kill me?"
He didn't guard against her because she was ridiculously weak in his eyes.
