The Fierce Illegitimate Miss: 173 Finale

lnmao.org, the fastest update of concubine will be the latest chapter!

The towering palace gate slowly closed behind her, and Yu Linglong's carriage walked unhurriedly along the long palace road, crushing countless petals scattered on the ground. Kia Wu Linglang

At the moment, the spring is just right, but Yu Linglong is not in the mood to appreciate the charming scenery outside. She sits in the carriage, thinking about the current situation.

Wang Xu hasn't been back to the house for several days. He just sends people to deliver letters to her every day to tell her the latest trends of the prince. As early as when she and King Xu began to plan to push the prince against the prince, King Xu arranged the most capable secret guard to monitor the prince's actions for twelve hours. They know that if people like the prince raise the flag to rebel, they will definitely be fully prepared, and there are still many officials who support the prince in the court. With the prince's actions, it is possible that many people will support the prince. Action.

Looking at it right now, King Xu did take the lead and did enough preparations, but the prince’s power was deeply entrenched. Although the queen temporarily lost power, there is still Taifu Gan outside. If they act carelessly, It may still give the Prince a chance to comeback.

Thinking of this, Yu Linglong lifted a gap in the car curtain, looking at the endless flowers and trees beside the palace road, her face gradually became serious.

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent. Now they must go all out to defeat the prince in one fell swoop.

Yu Linglong was thinking about it, and suddenly saw a carriage coming from the opposite side. Seeing the direction of the carriage, it was obviously coming towards her.

Yu Linglong frowned slightly. This is the palace road. Even the assassin sent by the prince could not choose to do something here. Thinking about this, she was relieved and ordered the coachman to park the car and wait there.

The carriage drove to her and stopped as expected. Then, Yu Linglong saw a familiar figure hurriedly get off the car and walked towards her.

"Wang Hao, I finally found you..."

Shi Huiru complexion was crimson, and he was short of breath. She only wore an ordinary bamboo-blue cloud goose fine brocade dress on her body. She also casually pulled a bun on her head, apparently leaving the door in a hurry.

Yu Linglong nodded, stretched her hand and got into the carriage.

Seeing Shi Huiru in such a hurry, obviously something happened.

The maid lowered the curtain, and the carriage started slowly again.

Looking at Shi Huiru looking cramped and anxious, Yu Linglong asked calmly: "What's the matter?"

Just now, Shi Huiru was still panting and anxious, but when she saw her, she didn't seem to dare to speak directly. He just lowered his head and said: "I went to the Xu Palace to look for you just now. The next person said you are in the palace. I will rush. Come out to welcome you, I also know it is too abrupt, but I... I really have no other way now..."

When Shi Huiru had never hesitated like this before, she seemed to be uncomfortable with her words. Seeing her embarrassed look, Yu Linglong vaguely guessed a bit, and then slowed down and said, "Nothing, you said Well, if I can help, I won’t stand idly by."

Shi Huiru took a deep breath, and suddenly reached out and squeezed Yu Linglong's hands, and said in a low voice and hastily: "Princess, please help me, please help him!"

It's so warm outside, but her hands are cold, and her palms are full of cold sweat. They seem to be unable to grasp Yu Linglong's hands because they are slippery and greasy. Shi Hui is like tears in her eyes, and she intermittently said: "Wang Hao, I know this. I shouldn’t beg you for this, and I know that you are also very embarrassed, but besides you, I really don’t know who else can help me......"

Yu Linglong took out her veil and wiped away the teardrops on her face, with a rare gentle tone: "Don't worry, speak slowly."

Shi Huiru settled down, and then said: "It's... it's Big Brother Yang... I don't know where the news was released, saying that Big Brother Yang is a member of His Royal Highness, and that His Highness rebels, Big Brother Yang also has a share. Big Brother Yang was taken away! But when the Yang family went to Jing Zhaoyin to ask, he realized that Big Brother Yang was not in Jing Zhaoyin's prison. The Yang family took a lot of effort to realize that it was... The eldest brother took it away and was locked in a very secret place. The Yang family was so anxious that they wanted to find King Xu but couldn't find it. Yun Zheng knew that I had a good relationship with you, so he came to me and wanted you to—— "

Looking at Yu Linglong's calm face, Shi Huiru hurriedly said: "No, no, not to let you go. Yun Zheng said that he just wanted to ask for help, as long as he knew the situation of Brother Yang."

Yu Linglong asked indifferently: "Are they sure that the prince sent someone to arrest Yang Shizi?"

Shi Huiru took out a small piece of jade from his cuff, and said in a low voice: "This is the news brought by Brother Yang. This piece of jade was brought with him. I...I will never admit it. "

Speaking of the end, Shi Huiru's head was already low, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito.

Yu Linglong glanced at that piece of jade, and said: "Since you are sure that you are right, then I will ask the prince, and I will notify you if I have news."

Shi Huiru raised her head in surprise, her round face full of excitement: "Really? Then...thank you so much!"

After finishing speaking, she seemed to have something to say, and after hesitating for a while, she said: "One more thing... Yun Zheng said that the Yang family did support His Royal Highness before, perhaps because of her relationship with the Prince. His Royal Highness walked too close, that's why it aroused suspicion from others and made Big Brother Yang also tired. But this time seeing His Royal Highness raise his troops, the Yang family regretted it and wanted to ask you to intercede with King Xu. Draw a clear line with His Royal Highness."

Yu Linglong frowned slightly and said, "Chang Tinghou can tell the emperor himself about this matter. I believe the emperor will believe his words."

Seeing Yu Linglong's reluctance to intervene, Shi Hui hurriedly said: "Wang Hao, the Yang family really wants to part ways with the prince. Yun Zheng said that they have evidence of the prince's conspiracy in their hands, which can be handed over to him. Lord Xu."

Yu Linglong moved in her heart and said, "What evidence is it?"

Shi Huiru shook her head and said: "I asked Yunzheng, but she refused to tell me, only that she wanted to tell you personally, she is now waiting for you in my other courtyard."

Yu Linglong pondered for a moment, and said: "Okay, let's go there together."

If there is evidence of the prince’s rebellion, then the situation will become more favorable, and the slogan of the prince’s so-called Qingjun side will be self-defeating.

Seeing Yu Linglong's promise, Shi Hui smiled like tears, holding Yu Linglong's hand gratefully: "It's great that you are willing to go!"

Yu Linglong ordered the coachman to change his way, and then looked back at Shi Huiru and smiled, and said: "Quickly wipe your face, see how you cry."

Shi Huiru smiled embarrassedly, quickly pulled out the veil, and carefully wiped away the tears on his face.

The Shi family’s other courtyard was located in a remote location, and it took more than half an hour before they finally arrived.

Shi Huiru got out of the carriage first, and went to open the gate in person to see if there was no one on the left and right, before taking Yu Linglong into the yard.

She said: "You saw Yunzheng in a while, but you have to comfort her, you don’t know, she was terrified, she told me not to be discovered by others, and I sent all the people. Now, don’t worry, no one here will know."

As soon as she walked into this quiet yard, Yu Linglong felt that something was wrong. Shi Huiru said that all the people had been driven out by her, but she always felt that there seemed to be a few pairs of eyes in the dark, secretly. Look at them.

Opening the door of the room, Shi Hui smiled apologetically, and said: "No one has lived here for a long time. Although there are people cleaning, I always feel chilly, princess, you come in first."

Yu Linglong walked into the room, but found that there was no shadow of Yang Yunzheng in the room. The room was empty, only a few tables and chairs covered with white cloth were placed on the ground.

Seeing her suspicious eyes, Shi Huiru walked towards the west wall and said: "This matter is too important. Although I have sent all the people away, I still don’t worry, so I hid Yunzheng in the secret room. Inside. Princess, come here."

Yu Linglong stepped forward, and saw Shi Huiru lift up a landscape painting on the wall, revealing the turntable inside, twisting it two turns to the left and three turns to the right. The original smooth wall suddenly cracked. A black gap can only allow one person to enter.

Shi Huiru stretched out her hand to Yu Linglong and said, "Come, take my hand, it's dark inside."

Yu Linglong was a little uneasy in her heart. She frowned and said, "You tell her to come out."

From the moment she entered this Shi family courtyard, she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell. The first thing she felt was that she couldn't enter easily on this dark wall.

This keen sense of danger has saved her many times. This time, she decided to follow her instincts.

Seeing that she refused to come in, Shi Huiru thought she was afraid of the dark, so she didn't force it, and said: "Okay, you are here waiting for me."

After finishing speaking, Shi Huiru entered the wall. Yu Linglong could hear her dull footsteps, and they passed along the gap, drifting away.

It seemed that it was only seven or eight steps away, and Shi Huiru's surprised cry suddenly came from the wall: "Yun Zheng, what's the matter with you!?"

Despite the thick walls, Shi Huiru's voice still sounds sharp and frightened: "Yunzheng, Yunzheng!"

Yu Linglong was sensitively aware of the accident, she rushed into the wall and said in a deep voice: "Huiru, come out first, hurry up!"

Shi Huiru's voice was a little bit crying, and said: "Yunzheng fell on the ground, as if he was injured... or poisoned... I, I can't pull her..."

Yu Linglong quickly scanned a circle of empty rooms. Obviously, it is not suitable to stay here for long. With Shi Huiru’s character, she would not leave Yang Yunzheng alone in the dark room. Yu Linglong was a little helpless, so she had to walk into the dark room quickly. .

There was no candlelight in the dark room, and Yu Linglong could only rely on a little light from outside, and saw two figures on the ground, one was Shi Huiru, desperately pulling a soft figure, trying to move towards the door.

As soon as Yu Linglong was about to step up to help, she heard a clatter, the gap behind her quickly closed, and the dark room plunged into pitch black.

This sudden change obviously surprised Shi Huiru. There was a messy sound in the darkness, as if she had put Yang Yunzhen on the ground and stumbled in the direction of Yu Linglong.

"This...what is going on? Why is the door closed!?"

Yu Linglong came over in a short-term surprise, and immediately recovered. She took two steps back and touched the wall that should have been cracked from memory, only to find that there was a tight fit, without any cracks at all, not to mention. Went out.

It seems that someone has been guarding the outside. When he saw Yu Linglong entering the dark room, he immediately activated the mechanism and closed the dark room.

The voice of Shi Huiru in the dark was full of horror: "Where are you... where are you?"

Yu Linglong stretched out her hand in the direction of the sound, fumbled and grabbed Shi Huiru's arm, and said in a deep voice, "I am here."

Like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, Shi Huiru grabbed Yu Linglong's hand and tremblingly said: "Which, what is going on?"

Yu Linglong shook her head, and then remembered that Shi Huiru couldn't see her movements at the moment, so she took out the purse that King Xu had given her, took out a fire fold, and blew it, so that she could see the surrounding situation clearly.

In the jumping flames, Shi Huiru’s face was full of fear. Even the coming of light did not relieve her tension in the slightest.

"What's wrong? Why did the door close? What do we do now..."

Yu Linglong patted her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, think about it, there should be a mechanism for going out."

After speaking, she walked to Yang Yunzheng's side, leaned over and turned her face.

Shi Hui said nervously: "I just touched her face and hands are cold, she... is she dead?"

Yu Linglong paused for a moment while looking at the tightly closed face under the firelight.

As she expected, this dark room is really a trap.

Taking the dust in her hands, Yu Linglong stood up and said: "Yes, she is indeed dead."

Shi Hui screamed, and her petite body slid weakly from the wall to the ground.

Although her courage is not small, she is after all just a young lady who has no power to bind a chicken. Now she is in a big change, and she stays in an airtight dark room with a dead body. At this moment, she Even if you can't faint, even if you are bold.

Yu Linglong looked at Shi Huiru and said calmly: "It's just that she is not Yang Yunzheng."

Shi Hui was shocked and looked at the corpse on the ground subconsciously: "This... how is this possible?"

There was no candle in the dark room just now, and she was preconceived again, thinking that the woman lying on the ground was Yang Yunzheng, but now looking like this, she found that the corpse was just a strange woman in Yang Yunzheng clothes. , She didn't even know it.

Shi Huiru is not a fool. She immediately understood the cause and effect of this incident. She raised her head to look at Yu Linglong, her expression on her face was both sad and painful: "She...she actually lied to me...I am still tired. You..."

The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and she couldn't help crying loudly.

Being so deceived by a good friend is really not something an ordinary person can bear. Yang Yunzheng used her with a lie to get her to fool Yu Linglong here. The purpose is obvious, that is, to want their lives.

It seems that Yang Yunzheng is right in at least one thing, that is, the Yang family is loyal to the prince.

If you can get rid of Princess Xu, Yu Linglong, for the prince, then it must be a great achievement for the Yang family.

And Shi Huiru naively listened to Yang Yunzheng's words, and even told Yang Yunzheng the secret of how her dark room was opened and closed, but she ended up being locked up here with Yu Linglong.

Betrayed by the person I love and my most trusted friend, the pain of such a moment of Shi Hui can be imagined.

Yu Linglong looked at her distraught and said in a deep voice: "It's not the time to cry. Think about it, how can you get out of here?"

Shi Huiru came back to her senses, reached out her hand and wiped the tears on her face, held on to the wall with her hand to stand up, and said: "I remember..."

As soon as her hand touched the wall, she quickly retracted: "Why is it so hot?"

Yu Linglong's heart sank, she immediately stretched out her palms to interview the wall and tested the temperature. Shi Hui was right, the wall that was still cold just now became extremely hot, and the temperature in the dull and small dark room kept constant. The elevation of the ground is almost becoming more and more unbearable.

Even if it is as calm as a jade and exquisite, I can't help but burst into a rough sentence: "Damn!"

Yang Yunzheng is not enough to lock them in a dark room, and burn them to death!

Sweat beads came out on Shi Huiru's forehead. I don't know if it was hot or scared. She looked at Yu Linglong, her eyes full of guilt: "I blame you for your burden..."

Yu Linglong clenched her fist tightly and said: "Don't talk about it, just think about it, is there any agency that can get out!?"

Shi Hui was determined, and walked quickly to the direction of the entrance. While looking on the wall, he said: "Yes! I remember my father said that there is a button in this secret room—"

Yu Linglong immediately walked to her and held the Huozhezi for her. The two of them endured the higher and higher temperature, searching quickly on the dark wall.

After a while, Shi Huiru let out a cheer: "Here!"

Yu Linglong handed the Huozhezi over, and saw a thumb-sized iron button embedded on the wall on the right, glowing with grey light under the firelight.

Shi Hui can’t wait to reach out and press it, who knows that as soon as she touches the button, she shrinks back in pain: "It’s hot—"

The fire outside has been burning this wall. The button has been baked for a long time, and the temperature is naturally not low.

Yu Linglong quickly pulled off the hairpin ring from her head, and reached out to dial the button on the wall. Who knew that the button was very smooth. Although the hairpin was hard, it was not big enough to make it strong.

Except for jewelry, there are no more tools available on both of them.

Yu Linglong suddenly thought of the dagger in her purse, and immediately took it out, but the size of the dagger's handle happened to be a circle larger than the button, and the button was embedded in the wall. The dagger was completely useless.

Shi Hui endured the pain in her hands, tore off half of her sleeves, wrapped her fingers in a hurry, and slammed down on the button!

In the sultry air, a scorching smell of fabric burning suddenly rose. The temperature is so high that it must have burned through the thin cloth in an instant, the fingers of Shi Huiru...

Yu Linglong was surprised: "Huiru--"

Before the voice fell, I saw that the button sank, and a gap was opened in the wall, and the long-lost light was immediately thrown into the dark room.

Although they have not been locked in for a long time, in the eyes of both of them, they almost have passed through the ghost gate.

But before they could cheer their success, they were shocked by the sight in front of them.

The room that was still empty just now, at this moment, there are flames everywhere, burning crackling, obviously, Yang Yunzheng was afraid that the dark room would not be able to trap them, and even lit the whole other courtyard!

In this way, even if Yu Linglong and Shi Huiru escaped from the dark room, they would not be able to escape the fire outside!

Although it was sultry in the dark room just now, there was always no open flame, but when they came out, they were almost immediately plunged into a sea of ​​fire. The flames were like poisonous snakes, rushing towards them, licking their clothes. Skirts and hair tips, the ground was full of greasy kerosene, and there was nowhere to go.

Shi Huiru clutched her burnt finger tightly, crying desperately: "What should I do? What should we do!?"

Yu Linglong gritted her teeth and quickly tore her skirt into two pieces. One piece was stuffed into Shi Huiru. One piece was waved by herself and slapped against the flames attacking them frantically, and said loudly: "Go!"

She was never a person who gave up lightly. Even if she couldn't escape, she would never be able to wait for death here!

Seems to be inspired by Yu Linglong's courage, Shi Huiru stood up, followed Yu Linglong's appearance, waved the dress in his hand, and ran towards the door of the room.

Just a few steps, but it is the distance between life and death.

The fire seemed to be frightened by their boldness, but after a while, it rushed toward them more fiercely. The clothing on Yu Linglong's hands caught fire quickly and was burnt to ashes in an instant, Shi Huiru It wasn't much better there, the flames on the fabric burned more and more until it was so hot that she had to throw it away.

The door of the room is right in front of you, and the two of them guarded their heads and faces, and rushed quickly one after the other.

It seemed that he was unwilling to let them go. As the flames expanded, the door beam on his head made a loud and earth-shattering noise, with sparks flying around, pressing straight down on their heads.

Yu Linglong ran in the front, unable to hide, she was about to be hit by the heavy door beam, but at this moment, a huge force suddenly came from her back, directly hitting her and flying. Out of the door, escaped the thunderous blow.

Even though she escaped the disaster, Yu Linglong's heart sank suddenly. She turned around quickly and saw the burning door beam at a glance.

She guessed right, it was Shi Huiru behind her, pushing her out with all her strength, saving her life, but also losing her chance of escape.

Looking at the motionless body under the door beam, Yu Linglong suffered a lot of heartache. Regardless that the door beam was still burning, she immediately kicked the door beam out, pulling Shi Huiru out of the room, who did not know his life or death. , Carried it into the yard.

The house was burning violently, but the courtyard made of bluestone bricks was extremely cool. The evening sun had lost its temperature and fell on the two gray-headed women in the middle of the courtyard.

Shi Huiru’s face was stained with gray and black smoke and dust. She was not injured. Her clothes were burnt to pieces and there was no obvious trauma. However, the corners of her mouth were bleeding constantly. Daomenliang was hitting her back, obviously causing her to suffer a very serious internal injury.

Yu Linglong hugged Shi Huiru's head tightly, and her voice was rarely trembling: "Huiru, Huiru! You wake up!"

For a long time, Shi Huiru opened his eyes with difficulty, and the scattered pupils condensed for a long time before seeing Yu Linglong's face clearly.

"Are you...are you okay?"

When she opened her eyes, the first sentence was to ask her own safety. Yu Linglong's throat was choked a little: "I'm fine. What do you think?"

Shi Huiru moved slightly, but her beautiful face was instantly distorted with pain: "It hurts...it hurts..."

Every time she said a word, a stream of blood poured out and fell on her clothes.

Looking at her almost unable to breathe in pain, Yu Linglong pressed her lips tightly.

What a squeamish woman Huiru used to be, even if she accidentally stabbed her finger with an embroidery needle, she still complained for several days, but now, in order to save her, she suffered such a serious injury...

Yu Linglong carefully carried Shi Huiru on her back, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I will take you home."

Stay steady as much as possible, Yu Linglong walked out of the gate, glanced at the carriage lying on the ground outside, and walked towards the setting sun without looking back.

Yang Yunzheng is indeed a delicate woman, she will do her best, even the carriage and coachman outside.

The setting sun gradually sank to the horizon, the cold night, and the water gently covered Yu Linglong's figure.

With her small head hung by Yu Linglong's temple, Shi Huiru seemed to have no strength at all. Her voice rang in Yu Linglong's ears, as thin as a gossamer.

"Linglong...Can I call you Linglong again...Actually, I miss the days before..."

Yu Linglong bit her lip desperately, resisting the pain in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "Well, don't talk, save effort."

Shi Huiru tugged the corners of her mouth with difficulty, trying to show a faint smile, but was twitched by the pain in her body, she whispered: "Linglong, listen to me, if I die, you... Don't blame him..."

Hearing Shi Huiru's words, Yu Linglong couldn't help feeling a bit of anger in her voice: "You still have to protect him now!?"

Hearing Yu Linglong's angry tone, Shi Hui coughed violently and suddenly coughed a few times. Yu Linglong only felt her shoulders hot, and a damp liquid flowed down her shoulders. She knew that it was the blood that Shi Huiru vomited.

Forcibly suppressing the indignation, Yu Linglong said in a deep voice: "Okay, I promise you that."

The stiff body behind her relaxed, Shi Huiru leaned on her shoulders, her feeble voice was somewhat dull: "Linglong, no one knows what I want for him better than you... You You know, I really like him... I used to think that if I could be his wife, even if only for one day, I would be willing to give my life... But now, I am dying, but I will see him for the last time. Not anymore..."

Yu Linglong held back the choking in her throat and whispered: "Don't worry, you won't die, I won't let you die!"

Shi Huiru laughed softly, her voice resounding in Yu Linglong's ears, like a dying butterfly flapping its fragile wings.

"Linglong, I'm stupid enough, why are you stupid than me? I know, I'm going to die...cough cough..."

The wet liquid on her shoulders was cold and hot, and hot and cold. Yu Linglong hardly dared to look back. She couldn't imagine how much blood was flowing out of Shi Huiru's body, and she didn't know she could still How long to hold on.

The setting sun is like blood, dragging Yu Linglong's figure long, and the sky is already dark.

Shi Huiru leaned on Yu Linglong's back. Yu Linglong only felt that her body was getting heavier and heavier, but her voice was getting softer and lighter, floating intermittently in the cold evening breeze in the spring night.

"...Linglong, I once heard a saying that called the deep love of life... When I heard it, I thought, can I be considered affectionate for him? If so, he treats me like this, How long can I live?"

Yu Linglong gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "I promise, as long as you live, you will live a long time, live happily, and live better than anyone else! Shi Huiru, you support me! Hold on to death!"

Shi Huiru's icy face was pressed against Yu Linglong's neck, it was as cold as the snow in the twelfth month of winter, how could it not be warm.

"Linglong...I'm so tired...I want to sleep for a while..."

Looking at the city gate looming in the darkness in the distance, Yu Linglong lifted Shi Huiru's body up and said: "Huiru, don't sleep, I will sing for you."

Shi Huiru has a low voice and a faint smile: "I have known you for so long, and I have never heard you sing... well... I won't sleep, you sing, I will listen carefully... "

The evening breeze is rising, Yu Linglong sings softly:

Your eyes will laugh and bend into a bridge, but I will never reach the end.

It feels like you are coming, it is the whistling of the wind, and the longing is a bitter medicine, it is so hard, every minute and every second.

I can't find it, I can't make it, what you call the beauty of the future, I don't want anything, do you know, if you understand me this second.

I want to see, I'm looking for, the so-called beauty of love, I firmly rely on, hold tightly, not dare to miss a single bit, I hope you see...

Her voice drifted in the night, as if it could travel far and far.

Shi Huiru whispered: "Linglong, what kind of song is this, I have never heard of it..."

Yu Linglong said: "This is the song of my hometown. It's far, far away."

Shi Hui smiled softly and said softly: "It's so nice..."

Her voice disappeared into the night sky, and there was no more text.

Yu Linglong only felt that Shi Huiru’s body sank, as if she could no longer hold her back, she could no longer hold Shi Huiru, she tried her best to hold Shi Huiru, although Shi Huiru no longer had a sound, no more movements , No more breath.

"Huiru, we will be home soon..."

Yu Linglong no longer knows what time it is, what place it is, or how long time has passed, she just walks mechanically, carrying Shi Huiru in a fixed posture, her feet are blank. The destination moves forward.

The subconscious action brought her back to the Xu Palace. When she walked to the gate of the Xu Palace, Ye, it was completely dark.

The red lacquered gate of the palace looks so strict, Yu Linglong only feels cold all over, and she doesn't even have the strength to shout.

A slender figure walked towards her, and she stared at the visitor in a daze. At this moment, she almost thought she was dreaming.

The colorful falling English fell on the thin shoulders of the visitor, exuding a rosy fragrance in the middle of the night, and it seemed that even the **** smell all over her was diminished a lot.

In the darkness, Ling'er's eyes looked extraordinarily bright. He looked at her firmly and said softly: "Wang Hao, the slave and maidservant are back."

……

Every time there is chaos, the people in the capital are panicked. Every day before it gets dark, every family closes their doors and windows for fear of being encumbered by the insurgents outside.

The number of the prince’s army was not large. After occupying the Chaoyang Gate, King Xu immediately deployed his troops. The most elite troops were responsible for guarding the palace. The others were divided into two parts. One part guards the other gates of the capital, and the other To encircle the Chaoyangmen and the Prince's Mansion controlled by the Prince's forces.

The imperial court is also in turmoil. Civil officials quarrel in the imperial hall every day. Some support the prince, some support King Xu, and some remain neutral. The generals mostly stood still, but they were also closely observing the situation. Some military commanders who were loyal to the prince mobilized their forces to support the prince, causing the situation in the capital to become more and more unstable, and even more rebellious soldiers took the opportunity to robbery and robbed the area, causing many people to gather in the area.

I don't know when, the common people gradually had rumors against the prince. Some people say that the prince has long been rebellious. The last time he asked the emperor to issue a tax reduction order, he wanted to win over the hearts of the people and prepare for his future rebellion. Others said that the prince had been the prince for many years, although he was benevolent and filial, but privately right. The emperor complained in every possible way, and his brothers on foot were cruel and harmed. Even his wife, the princess, was dismissed for dissuading him from being too cruel and irritating the prince. This kind of infidelity to his father, yes. If the brothers are unrighteous and those who are unkind to their wives, if they truly become emperors, the people will suffer a lot. Some people say that the rioters who looted the people’s homes were actually instructed by the prince to go. Raising gold and silver for his own rebellion, and secondly, to disturb the people's unrest, the current situation is turbulent, and to gain an excuse for his own rebellion.

Of course, these words were spread by the Dragon Tiger Gang according to Yu Linglong's orders. However, this rumor spread quickly at a speed that even Yu Linglong hadn't expected, and soon spread to everybody in the streets and alleys of the capital.

The result is obvious. The prince’s image of benevolence and filial piety for many years has been completely subverted. He has become an out-and-out tyrant among the people, a villain who is inferior to animals and animals, and an unfaithful and unfilial beast. Such a person is naturally no one wants to support, let alone help.

Most of the prince’s pro-military officers are the children of wealthy families of officials in the capital. At the beginning, they joined the pro-military army to fight for a future, but now they have become a chaotic party. The relatives of these people have been scolded by public opinion. He immediately used various methods to order his children to leave the Prince’s army. Although the Prince occupied Chaoyang Gate, he was surrounded by King Xu’s troops outside, and the army’s heart was shaken. Even deserters disappeared every day. This made it difficult for the prince to ride a tiger. Dilemma.

More terrible things are still to come. Those officials, generals, military guards, and guards who were loyal to the prince were assassinated in a short period of time. The prince’s wings trained for many years, in less than ten days The inside was cut to pieces.

The crown prince believed that this was King Xu’s secretly engaging in ghosts, and he was furious, but he didn’t know that those highly skilled personal guards were indeed killed by the guards sent by King Xu, but there were many officials. The general was killed by the killer Yu Linglong cultivated on the Stone Mountain.

Although the slaves were young and didn’t spend a long time in martial arts, many of them were talented and intelligent, and they were willing to practice martial arts. The harsh environment on the stone mountain can make people feel free. These slaves are almost spiritual Like children, they practice hard day and night and strive for diligence, so one year of practice is worth ten years for others. According to their specialties, Gong Cheng and Lei Shi used their strengths to make up for their weaknesses and divided them into groups of three or five to maximize their strengths, both offensive and defensive, which greatly increased their lethality.

And they are young, but they have also become an advantage for people to underestimate the enemy. These killers lie in ambush on the only way to the target, attacking it with great speed, usually without waiting for the opponent to react, they have already lost their lives.

The crown prince’s cronies are becoming fewer and fewer, and his military strength is also falling sharply. As his reputation is getting worse, the slogan of "pure the emperor's side" when he raises troops has become so funny.

Just imagine, how can a person who doesn't even respect his own father, and a person who doesn't even care about his own wife, how can he think for the people and the community?

At this time, although he occupies the Chaoyang Gate, one of the fortresses in the capital, he is like an isolated island in the sea, without any support. Looking around, the surrounding people betrayed their relatives, and even the counselors who have followed him for many years have begun. Secretly made up his own little calculation.

On his side is Dao Jing Ming who has been unswervingly supporting him. Regarding the difficulties in front of him, Dao Jing Ming believes that it is the test of the prince from the heavens. The so-called success will be difficult without experiencing these hardships. How is it possible to grow into a good emperor? That dragon chair is not so easy to sit on.

If it hadn’t been for the guidance and help of Dao Jing Ming, the prince would probably not be able to hold on to the present. After recognizing that all the people around him were untrustworthy, the prince was relieved. He relied more and more on Dao Jing Ming, and more and more. Believe what he said.

Now that you have chosen this path, stick to it!

Become a king, or lose!

The only thing he didn’t understand was that public opinion was now completely leaning towards King Xu, and he still had the strongest force to guard the capital, but King Xu only ordered heavy troops to surround Chaoyang Gate, but did not order an attack. They seem to have adopted the most conservative strategy.

The prince didn't know the true intention of King Xu's move, but Yu Linglong, who had been watching this throne game from a distance, guessed the purpose of King Xu at a glance.

The crown prince rebelled. It was the crown prince's fault first, but if King Xu took the opportunity to defeat the prince in one fell swoop, then those who did not care about brotherhood would become King Xu.

The King Xu ordered people to surround the Chaoyang Gate. One was to control the prince’s actions so that he could not take any further actions; the other was to give the prince time to think. If he still insists on raising troops, then King Xu will defend him. For the safety of the emperor and the people in the capital, he took action to solve the prince. In this way, King Xu would put himself in a position of last resort, and the longer the delay, the worse the situation would be for the prince.

This is what the old saying goes, a soldier who can't fight without fighting.

In this duel, from the very beginning, the prince was doomed to fail.

If the prince is smart enough, he will choose to surrender to King Xu when he finds that he is surrounded by heavy siege, but Yu Linglong knows that the prince will never give up. He waited too long for this day, even if he knew that the dragon chair was surrounded by sharp knives and sharp blades, he would not hesitate to go forward.

This is the temptation of power. Even if people know that they are hopeless, they will fly to their fate like a moth to the fire.

……

The situation on the prince's side is not good, and his attendants naturally have no good life.

The Changting Hou Mansion is highly powerful, and naturally bears the brunt. The emperor has issued an edict to inform the world and abolished the prince's position. The party feathers around the prince immediately became a bird and beast. The Changting Hou Mansion has a close relationship with the prince, although he has not followed publicly. The prince, Chang Ting Hou, was ordered by the emperor to recuperate at home.

This is not a good signal. How could Chang Ting Hou, who had been in the court for many years, didn’t understand. The entire Yang family immediately faced a major enemy and moved around, trying to borrow the past relationship to exonerate Chang Ting Hou’s mansion. .

Chang Ting Hou can't go out, so this matter can only be handed over to Mrs. Chang Ting Hou, Yang Huanian and Yang Yunzheng. Yang Yunzheng is very busy these days when he goes out early and returns late, visiting people who are close to him.

On this day, Yang Yunzheng went to another hospital on the outskirts of Beijing, and did not return to the capital until dusk.

In recent days, there has been a chaos in the city, and everyone is in danger. Although it is not dark at the moment, there are no people on the bustling streets in the past. Every house is closed and there is no sound.

The carriage turned into a remote alley, and the sparkling voice echoed in the depths of the alley. On this cool breezy night, it sounded an uncomfortable feeling.

Yang Yunzheng gave the maidservant a few words, and the maid lifted the curtains, and raised her voice to the coachman, guards, and women outside: "Miss said, it’s getting late, hurry up and wait for the house, Thank you for your hot shochu."

The people who were blown all the way by the wind couldn't help but lifted their spirits and said in unison: "Yes, slaves (slaves), etc. Thank you, Miss San."

After these few words, the deserted alley seemed to have gained a lot of popularity. The women who followed the carriage shrank their necks, and accelerated their pace with the speed of the carriage.

The setting sun finally sank completely, and the entire capital city was suddenly shrouded in a gray sky, and the night suddenly added a bit of chill.

As soon as I was about to pass through the alley, a dozen black figures suddenly flew down from the roofs on both sides of the road, and quickly approached Yang Yunzheng's carriage.

The guards immediately stood in battle, putting their hands on the handle of the knife, and the one who led the head raised his voice and said, "Who is coming? This is the carriage of the third lady of the Changting Hou Mansion, but you can't move it! Not happy— —"

His threatening words stopped abruptly before he finished.

The sharp blade came through the air, piercing the muscles and splitting the bones. In an instant, the head of the head of the guard flew high into the sky, sprinkling countless drops of blood.

The coachman and women screamed in fright, but before their screams disappeared, the ghostly shadows just disappeared, leaving only the corpses all over the floor.

In just a blink of an eye, the corpses of a few guards who were still alive have spread all over the place, and the evening breeze is full of a strong smell of blood, which makes people feel nauseous.

The faces of the coachman and the women were splattered with blood, and they looked at each other, and they saw the fear in each other's eyes.

The shadows just now, were they humans or ghosts? How come up and kill people without saying a word? What is their purpose, is it just to kill these irrelevant guards?

The women's hands firmly grasped the carriage so that their trembling bodies would not fall down.

The night has dimmed a bit again, and the surroundings are so silent that no one can be seen.

If it weren't for the terrible corpses on the ground, they almost thought the shadows just now were just their own hallucinations.

I don’t know how long it took before Yang Yunzheng’s voice sounded in the carriage, apparently trying to keep calm: "Hurry up!"

A word awakened them, and the coachman hurriedly picked up the reins, and the frightened voice screamed: "Drive! Drive!"

Though the terrible shadows disappeared, they don't know when they will appear. The guards in the Hou Mansion have all died, and they have to flee this nightmare place.

The horse seemed to be infected by their fearful emotions, and ran quickly to the empty street. Those women had to run as hard as they could to barely keep up with the speed of the carriage.

Seeing this familiar street, everyone's mood is slightly stabilized. There will always be no sneak attacks here, right?

However, they are obviously too optimistic.

The horse pulling the cart has been running for a day, obviously exhausted. After running for a long time like a sprint just now, it was already out of breath and slowed down unknowingly.

Walking past a pawnshop with a closed door, a few black figures suddenly flew down on the roof. This time, before the women yelled out, several corpses had fallen down beside the car.

As before, these figures are as ghostly as ghosts, and there is no sound at all. They arrive like lightning, and leave when they kill someone.

Just now there were women who talked about laughing, and this time they didn't even have a trace of breath.

The coachman was so scared that he didn't need to urge Yang Yunzheng this time. The leather whip in his hand was waving desperately, and he whipped the cart horse until his hip was covered with blood. If not seeing, whipping desperately.

In the violent whipping of the coachman, the tired horse speeded up again and dashed towards the direction of the Changting Hou Mansion.

In the carriage, the maid was so scared that she wanted to cry without tears, but Yang Yunzheng looked out in a panic. At this moment, she didn't care about the etiquette of the ladies. She stretched out her hand and raised the car curtain, her eyes staring stubbornly. The movement outside.

The night is getting darker and deeper, and she can't see anything at all, but she dare not put down the curtain, as if she can only protect herself from assassinations like those guards and women. .

At this moment, she saw an erratic figure flashing in the dark sky, and suddenly screamed hoarsely: "Here! He is here again!"

When the coachman heard this urging sound, he was almost frightened, and he swung his whip faster, as if this would be able to shake off the terrible shadow.

The figure did not seem to be affected by the speed of the carriage at all, and fell on the roof of the carriage in a flash. Yang Yunzhen could not see the movements outside, only heard the scream of the coachman from the door: "Ah--"

The sound seemed to rise from the ground. Before the remnant sound ended, it flew farther and farther. With the sound of a rotten watermelon falling to the ground, the screams of the coachman stopped abruptly.

Apparently, the black shadow threw the coachman away and fell to his death hard.

The frightened horse didn't even realize that the coachman had disappeared, and ran wildly on the street in pain. The carriage bumped violently, almost throwing Yang Yunzheng and the maid out of the carriage.

Yang Yunzhen can only desperately grasp the frame of the car to stabilize her body, she screamed at the maid: "Go! Go outside!"

The scared maid's face also clung to the frame of the car. Hearing Yang Yunzheng's order, she immediately shook her head in fear: "No...no! Miss, you can spare the maidservant... The maidservant really doesn't dare ……"

Yang Yunzheng gritted his teeth and kicked the maid violently, but even so, the maid did not dare to stretch out his head to see the situation.

The maid didn't dare, and Yang Yunzheng didn't dare. The two were sitting in a horse-drawn carriage drawn by a frightened horse. Even though the horse-drawn carriage overturned them, they didn't dare to go out at all.

The horse ran aimlessly on the street, ran to a corner, and the horse turned abruptly. It was because of inertia that the horse-drawn carriage broke away from the shaft and rolled over to the ground.

Yang Yunzheng and the maid were thrown out of the carriage. They didn't care about rubbing the sore spots on their bodies, and they ran over to the street, screaming, "Help! Help--"

On the empty street, the two of them screamed in sorrow and horror in the night sky, but no one came out to check.

In this world, who would dare to come out to be nosy, don't you want your head?

Yang Yunzheng carried the cumbersome skirt corners, and ran forward desperately. She couldn't see the surrounding streets or know where she was. The huge fear made her run desperately, but she didn't know. Where is your purpose?

Suddenly there was a whistling whistle in the darkness, Yang Yunzheng couldn't hold back his steps, and slammed into the maid who was running in front of her.

A few drops of warm and viscous liquid splashed on her face, with a **** smell of vomiting, Yang Yunzheng opened his mouth wide, unable to even scream, and watched the maid fall softly. In front of myself.

A heavy arrow more than half a meter long pierced the maid’s chest, and the tremendous strength made her look like a pool of flesh and blood. Yang Yunzhen didn’t need to look at it to know that her maid must have been caught in an instant. Shot dead.

Looking at the **** corpse in front of her, Yang Yunzhen didn't even have the strength to run this time. Her legs were soft and she slumped on the ground.

Now, she is alone.

Changting Hou Mansion seemed to be far away, she didn't know how to get there, and in the endless darkness all around, there were countless pairs of cold eyes staring at her.

It feels like she has become a fragile little beast, surrounded by hungry wolves, she has nowhere to escape, and she has no power to escape.

It wasn't until the dark shadows gathered in a circle and slowly approached her that Yang Yunzheng raised his head in horror and watched them approach step by step.

Did they finally come to kill her? Did she die here like those guards, women, coachmen, and maids?

Without waiting for her to scream, she received a heavy blow in the back of the head. She rolled her eyes and fainted on the ground.

When she woke up again, she found that she was already in a place similar to a prison, surrounded by iron railings on all sides. There were no windows and no lights. The only light source was the room. A blazing fire.

The fire is right under her feet. And she was also awakened by the scorching temperature.

Yang Yunzheng twisted her body in horror, but found that her hands were tightly tied together, and she was hung high on the beam of the house, and she couldn't escape.

She raised her head helplessly and looked around, but through the railing opposite to her, she saw a figure that was so familiar.

"Brother! Brother!" Yang Yunzheng struggled desperately, his sharp voice almost changed the tone of fright, "Brother, help me!"

Yang Huanian was obviously knocked out. Amidst Yang Yunzheng's sorrowful cry, he finally came to his senses. When he saw Yang Yunzheng like this, he immediately rushed towards her: "Yunzheng, why are you here? Here?"

Seeing his relatives, Yang Yunzheng burst into tears: "Brother, save me, I'm so scared!"

Yang Huanian's hands clung to the railing tightly, and the seemingly strong railing fell off after only a few swings by him.

Yang Huanian didn't think much about it, and ran to Yang Yunzheng quickly, but just less than one meter away from Yang Yunzheng, he stopped for a lifetime.

Yang Yunzheng looked at him in surprise and shouted: "Brother, what's the matter with you, come and help me untie the rope!"

Yang Huanian raised his hands, and by the light of the fire, he saw that his wrists and ankles were tied with thin iron chains. This length just made him walk one step away from Yang Yunzheng. local.

It was such a short distance, but he couldn't touch Yang Yunzheng at all, let alone save her.

Yang Huanian tried desperately to pull the iron chain on his hand, but although the iron chain looked thin, it was extremely strong. He tried his best to pull it for a long time, but the iron chain didn't even change its shape.

The flames under my feet rose from time to time, licking Yang Yunzheng's feet. Yang Yunzheng was painful and scared, and cried: "Brother, save me...I'm so scared..."

Looking at his sister suffering right in front of him, Yang Huanian was heartbroken, but unable to do anything. He tried to calm his emotions and said: "Yunzheng, don't be afraid, I will find a way and I will save you soon— —"

Before the voice fell, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, with an ice cave-like coldness: "Yang Huanian, do you really think so?"

The brothers and sisters looked in the direction of the sound in surprise. In the bright fire, a woman in a black robe slowly walked over. Obsidian eyes glanced at them coldly, stabbing them involuntarily. The witty shivered.

Looking at this woman, Yang Huanian stopped the needless tearing in his hand, and called in a deep voice: "Princess Xu."

Ling'er picked up a heavy grandmaster's chair and placed it behind Yu Linglong. Seeing Ling'er's light lifting movements, Yang Huanian's heart was shocked.

It's just a seemingly ordinary maid, but there is such a great strength, this princess Xu is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger.

Yu Linglong sat steadily on the Grand Master's chair, as if she hadn't heard Yang Yunzheng's sharp and miserable cry, her eyes only looked at Yang Huanian, and she said faintly: "Yang Shizi, long time no see."

Yang Huanian involuntarily clenched the iron chain in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Princess Xu, what do you want to do when you brought us here?"

Yu Linglong smiled coldly, and said calmly: "You ask me what I want to do? Why don't you ask, what did your good sister do?"

Yang Huanian looked at Yang Yunzheng questioningly. Yang Yunzheng was so frightened that her face was full of tears, and she no longer looked like a solid and generous person. She trembled and said: "Brother, I...I know wrong Now, I shouldn’t listen to His Royal Highness... But don’t you like her? She died and it’s nothing... His Royal Highness said, as long as we kill Princess Xu for him, he will never forget our Yang family’s support in the future. Work..."

She spoke incoherently, Yang Huanian couldn't understand it, but there was an ominous premonition in her heart.

He turned his head abruptly, looked at Yu Linglong, and said loudly: "Princess Xu, what did my sister do wrong? Why are you doing this to her?"

Yu Linglong's eyes finally fell on Yang Yunzheng. She looked at Yang Yunzheng who was panicked and said: "Why don't you tell your brother, what did you do?"

Yang Yunzheng glanced at Yu Linglong timidly. She did not expect that Yu Linglong could escape unscathed from the self-confident trap she set up.

However, Shi Huiru died...

Yang Yunzheng is not a fool. Of course, she knows that Yu Linglong has put on such a position, clearly that she wants to avenge Shi Huiru.

Yang Yunzheng cried to Yang Huanian: "Brother, I really know that I was wrong! You help me beg Princess Xu, as long as you let me go, let me do anything..."

Yu Linglong interrupted her coldly: "As long as you can make Shi Huiru come alive, I can let you go."

Her voice is not loud, but it sounds like a thunderbolt in Yang Huanian's ears: "What did you say? Shi Huiru...Miss Shijia is dead!?"

Hearing his surprised voice, Yu Linglong couldn't help but clenched her fingers tightly, and her voice became colder unknowingly: "Yes."

She knew that all these lies were Yang Yunzheng deceiving Shi Huiru. Yang Huanian didn’t know it. At the beginning, Yang Huanian was willing to make a portrait for Shi Huiru, which shows that he is not a heartless person, and since then, she can also vaguely feel it. , The relationship between Yang Huanian and Shi Huiru has undergone subtle changes.

If they continue to develop like this, they may not really be together, but none of this is possible, because Shi Huiru is already dead.

Seeing Yang Huanian’s instantly pale face, Yang Yunzheng cried: "Brother, what's the matter with you? Don't you dislike her? She...she is dead, no one will bother you anymore..."

Yang Huanian turned his head abruptly, his always gentle and elegant face with a bit of unfamiliar ferociousness, and said angrily: "Shut up!"

The long figure swayed slightly in the flames. Yang Huanian was obviously overwhelmed by this sudden news. He grabbed his hair with both hands desperately and cried out in pain: "How come!? How come..."

Yu Linglong said coldly: "Your sister said that you were taken away by King Xu. I beg Hui Ru to come to me and intercede for you. She deceived Hui Ru and me to another hospital on the outskirts of Beijing, and then let go. A fire, I want to burn the two of us together."

Yang Huanian suddenly raised his head and looked at Yang Yunzheng: "What she said is true?"

I have never seen Yang Huanian's excitement. Yang Yunzheng was so scared that his face changed, and he trembled and said, "I...I really know that I was wrong. His Royal Highness made me..."

She was frightened back by Yang Huanian’s sudden actions. Yang Huanian stood up quickly and was about to hit her with his hand. However, her violent movements were tightly chained by chains, and his face was distorted with anger and loudly. Scolded: "Yang Yunzheng, why are you so stupid!?"

Yang Yunzheng cried loudly: "I was wrong! I was really wrong! I don't dare anymore! Princess Xu, please let me go! I'm scared... I'm so scared..." /

Looking at Yang Yunzheng’s tearful and communicating face, Yu Linglong whispered: “When you shut us in the secret room and set fire outside, have you ever wondered if Huiru and I would be afraid? "

Looking at Yu Linglong's unmoved pretty face, Yang Yunzheng finally realized that the woman in front of him would not be soft-hearted.

A huge fear surged in her heart. She looked down at Yang Huanian, who was close to her, and shouted desperately: "Brother, you plead for me! I don't want to die, I don't want to die! Doesn't Shi Huiru like you very much? She and Princess Xu are good friends, you beg for me—"

Yu Linglong was furious, suddenly got up from the chair, pointed at Yang Yunzheng and said, "Stop her mouth for me!"

Ling'er raised her hand and accurately bounced a nucleus into Yang Yunzheng's mouth. Yang Yunzheng was immediately blocked and could no longer speak.

Yu Linglong looked at Yang Yunzheng being hung in the air, and scolded: "You still have the face to say!? Huiru regarded you as her good friend, but you killed her, and now you still want Plead in her name!?"

Yang Huanian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly knelt down towards Yu Linglong.

This unexpected behavior stopped Yu Linglong's scolding. She lowered her eyes and looked at the seven-foot man who was kneeling in front of her, and a feeling of pity suddenly surged in her heart.

This feeling has nothing to do with the Yang brothers and sisters. What Yu Linglong thinks at the moment is Shi Huiru, who has not passed the first seven days of death.

Huiru, if you have spirit in the sky, just open your eyes and have a look. This is your good friend, and this is the love you have never forgotten.

Will you regret it, because you once loved such a man?

Yang Huanian lowered his head and said softly: "Princess Xu, I beg you, let the Yunzheng go, she was confused for a while and did something wrong... Miss Shi is dead, I am also very sad, but human Dead can’t come back to life. You can’t kill another person for the sake of a dead person. As long as you are willing to fly the Yunzheng, I promise that she will never go out of the gate of Yang Mansion in the future, and I guarantee that she--"

"Okay," Yu Linglong interrupted his assurance coldly, "To me, she is already a dead person. And you are no different from a dead person."

After saying this, Yu Linglong no longer bothered to look at Yang Huanian, and reached out to make a gesture in the dark.

As her gesture fell, there was a sudden sound of mechanism turning in the room. Yang Yunzhen only felt that his body sank suddenly and fell straight toward the flame!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Yang Yunzheng, her body twisted more violently, but her struggle was completely in vain. A little closer to the fire on the ground.

The embroidered shoes on my feet were ignited by the flames, and they burst into flames. The corners of Yang Yunzheng's skirts were scorched. The flames became bigger and bigger, and the small underground prison was suddenly filled with the burning smell of clothing.

Yang Yunzheng struggled in pain, but the thick hemp rope on her wrist restrained her mercilessly, making her unable to escape from the fire.

Seeing Yang Yunzheng's pain, Yang Huanian suddenly stood up from the ground, ignoring the iron chain on his wrist, and desperately stretched his hand in the direction of Yang Yunzheng: "Yunzheng, Yunzheng! You hold it up! Hold on!"

After that, he turned to Yu Linglong, and said hurriedly: "Wang Hao, please open your favor! Yun Zheng knows that she is wrong, you let her go--"

Looking at Yang Yunzheng who was struggling in the flames, Yu Linglong said quietly: "Since she knew she was wrong, then she should pay the price for what she did."

Life is irreversible. Blessing is like death, then Yang Yunzheng must give his life to his life!

The ink-colored eyes squinted coldly, Yu Linglong glanced at Ling'er beside her, Ling'er understood, lifted her little hand, and a silver light flew out, piercing directly at an inconspicuous person on the beam. Keg.

A golden-yellow sticky object rushed out, and a drop of nothing left was poured on Yang Yunzheng’s body, immediately covering her body with a layer of greasy oil, and those surrounding her The little flame of Yang Yunzheng's body instantly expanded dozens of times when it encountered these kerosene, like a hideous monster, swallowing Yang Yunzheng's body completely.

"No!" The chain on Yang Huanian's body was suddenly straight. He tried his best to reach out to Yang Yunzheng who had turned into a ball of fire. It seemed that this would be able to rescue his sister from the sea of ​​fire, but those But the iron chain fastened him firmly. He could only watch Yang Yunzheng being burned to death from a distance of a step away.

The dungeon was full of the smell of burnt human flesh, Yang Yunzheng's screaming screams gradually fainted, and finally disappeared. The beauty who was still alive and fragrant just now turned into a burnt black. Even his face was burned beyond recognition.

Yang Huanian slumped to the ground, his eyes staring at the dead body of Yang Yunzheng who was still hanging in the air, his eyes dull and desperate.

His sister, died in front of him in a miserable way.

The remorse in his heart is like a poisonous snake, biting his heart. If he can sort out his emotions earlier and accept or reject Shi Huiru completely, perhaps Shi Huiru will not be affected by his cautious attitude. The hope for him led to being used by Yang Yunzheng. If he could discover Yang Yunzheng's strangeness earlier, perhaps Shi Huiru would not fall into Yang Yunzheng's trap, and then everything at this moment would not happen.

But in this world, there has never been an if.

He didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of him. He is a man, but he bears unshirkable responsibility for the death of these two women.

The fire gradually extinguished, and the dungeon was plunged into a dim, dim light, Yu Linglong slowly got up, the black hosta on her head exuding a cold and moist light.

"Huiru, before dying, beg me not to kill you, I promised her."

Looking down at the man who seemed to be ten years old in an instant, Yu Linglong said coldly: "But this does not mean that I will let you go. Do you know why I let you watch Yang Yunzheng burned to death? ? I want you to die."

In the darkness, the iron chain on Yang Huanian made a crisp clicking sound and slipped from him, but Yang Huanian didn't seem to realize that his body had been freed, so he still sat on the ground blankly.

The person who loved him most was killed by his sister, and his sister died because of it. From now on, he will live in regret and pain.

Looking at the lifeless man one last time, Yu Linglong turned around and left the dungeon decisively.

……

On this day, Yu Linglong took Ling'er out of the Ruyi Gambling House and walked outside Baihua Lane.

No matter what kind of world it is, the business of brothels and gambling houses is always exceptionally good. Even though the city is in chaos, business is still prosperous in Baihua Lane, and there are not few people coming and going.

When I walked out of Baihua Lane, the street seemed much deserted, and the pedestrians on the road looked like they were hurrying, obviously unwilling to stay outside.

Walking to the corner, Yu Linglong was about to turn, but she was suddenly hit hard by a figure flying over. Before Yu Linglong could react, she heard Ling'er scream: "Who!? "

Seeing that someone hit Yu Linglong, Linger immediately subconsciously shot. In the future, the person kicked and flew away. Accompanied by a string of women's painful cries, the person who hit Yu Linglong has fallen into the corner.

Yu Linglong was a little surprised. She knew that Ling'er's skill was no better than before, but she didn't expect Ling'er to move so fast now, so fast that she didn't even have time to see the face of the person.

As the woman fell to the ground, a person who looked like a maid came out from the alley and rushed directly to the woman who was kicked against the wall. There was a bit of crying in her voice: "Master, master, how are you!" ?"

The maid turned her head immediately and screamed at Yu Linglong and Ling'er: "You are so brave, even my master dare to kick, don't you want to die?"

Yu Linglong raised her eyebrows. In her impression, no one had dared to talk to herself like this for a long time.

Ling'er refused to suffer even more. She stepped forward and scolded the maid. She was ready to do it before she could say a few words, but was drunk by Yu Linglong.

It’s not that Yu Linglong was afraid of the little maid, but she saw the figure of the woman curled up against the wall in pain, she always felt a little familiar, so she told Ling'er: "Go and see what that person hurts. Place."

Ling'er glared at the little maid, then stepped forward and turned the kicked woman over. As soon as she saw the woman's face, Yu Linglong couldn't help but frowned slightly: "Why are you?"

The woman who was kicked by Ling'er turned out to be Princess Zhou who hadn't seen her for a long time.

As soon as Princess Zhou saw Yu Linglong, she forgot to feel the pain, so she hurriedly hid back and stopped until her back touched the wall.

Yu Linglong looked up at the depths of the alley, and found no other figures, so she said, "Why are you here?"

The world is so chaotic, why Princess Zhou only took a little maid and ran up and down the street, wouldn't she be afraid of danger?

The princess Zhou's face was pale, obviously painful enough. Seeing Yu Linglong recognized herself, she couldn't help but her eyes flashed, lowered her head, and whispered: "Nine younger siblings, you...you don't tell my prince... "

Yu Linglong gave a faint hum, and Zhou Wangfei said in a low voice: "The royal city is very chaotic. I am not allowed to go out. I was feeling uncomfortable in the palace, so I secretly ran out...No, no, I just thought Go home to visit your parents..."

Looking at the flickering look of Princess Zhou, Yu Linglong realized that Princess Zhou was lying.

If you want to come, if you just visit your parents, then what she was doing so fast just now, like that, it's obvious that she's escaping from something.

It's just that what is the purpose of Princess Zhou's coming out, and who is it to avoid? It has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't care.

Concubine Zhou couldn't make it up by herself, so she raised her head to look at Yu Linglong, and quickly changed the subject: "Nine brothers and sisters, why are you here?"

Yu Linglong did not answer her question. She looked down at Princess Zhou's leg and said faintly: "You are injured."

Ling'er's strength was not small, and she treated Princess Zhou as an assassin, so she would not be merciful. With this kick, Princess Zhou hit the wall. At this moment, Princess Zhou's calf was bleeding a lot. The rompers were also soaked.

Concubine Zhou shrank her feet subconsciously, but sizzled with pain and did not dare to move.

Yu Linglong nodded to Ling'er: "Take her to the nearby medical clinic."

Hearing Yu Linglong's words, Zhou Wangfei moved her lips a few times, but after all she did not say anything to refuse Yu Linglong's kindness.

The little maid heard that Princess Zhou was called Yu Linglong's nine siblings, so she no longer dared to contradict her. Two pairs of masters and servants went out of the alley and walked outside.

Fortunately, there is a hospital not far away. Linger entered the door carrying Princess Zhou on his back, and greeted: "Come on, someone here is injured!"

Ling'er's arrogant voice made people know that they were not small, the doctor inside quickly picked up the gown and ran to greet him, and said: "Come in, carry people over there--"

As soon as the doctor looked up, he saw Yu Linglong who was the last to enter the door.

When Yu Linglong saw the doctor, she couldn't help but frowned. What day is it and how did she meet people she knew everywhere?

The doctor in front of me is the one who found out that Mrs. Yu had been poisoned at first, and one of the members of the Qinglian Sect, Mr. Huang.

When Mr. Huang saw Yu Linglong, he immediately bowed, his expression could not hide his excitement: "Subordinates, see the saint!"

As soon as I heard this name, Yu Linglong couldn't help but her head was big, but Mr. Huang was still surprised, and he bowed and gave up his seat, while hurriedly said: "Holy girl, how are you doing these days? Times..."

He raised his eyes and looked around, lowering his voice: "The leader said, you were taken away by King Xu to save us. Your great kindness, Qinglian Sect, thousands of people, don’t die Dare to forget."

Yu Linglong heard him say more and more outrageous, and couldn't help but interrupt him: "I am not a saint!"

Mr. Huang realized his gaffe, he quickly glanced at the master servant of Princess Zhou over there, and whispered: "Yes, the subordinate was abrupt... Please forgive me."

Yu Linglong tightened her lips, she didn’t want to spend any more time. She knew that for people like Mr. Huang, who is full of deep-rooted Qinglian doctrines, no matter how she explains or denies, he will agree She is the sage Qinglian.

Yu Linglong stood in the center of the medical hall, Linger stood by, and the master and servant obviously didn't intend to stay for a long time. Mr. Huang didn't dare to neglect, he personally inspected Zhou Wangfei's injuries, and confirmed that it was only a slight injury to the calf and no major physical problems, so he truthfully reported it to Yu Linglong.

Of course, from beginning to end, he dared not mention the topic of Qinglian religion and the saint again.

Seeing that Princess Zhou was okay, Yu Linglong didn't want to stay longer, and asked Ling'er to leave a few silver coins for diagnosis and treatment, so she left the hospital.

As for Princess Zhou's matter, she was not interested in inquiring, and sending the injured Princess Zhou to the hospital was already doing her best.

But she didn't know that this seemingly ordinary episode almost caused her a fatal disaster.

Three days later, Yu Linglong's carriage left the corner of the Xu Palace, and it was surrounded by a large group of people who came out from nowhere.

"It's her! This is her car!" An angry voice sounded from the crowd. With this voice, Yu Linglong suddenly felt that the carriage swayed a few times, as if being pushed vigorously.

"The Demon Girl, get out!"

"Wonderful girl! Harmful!"

"The vixen who harmed the country and the people, go to death!"

The voice of the overwhelming voice seemed to crush Yu Linglong's carriage, Ling'er's face sank, and she whispered: "Wang Hao, go out and have a look."

Yu Linglong stretched out her hand and stopped Ling'er's movements.

Countless hands stretched out, desperately pushing the carriage, and the thin curtain shook violently, making people's eyes dizzy. Looking around, there were dense angry faces, men and women. , The old man, the child, and everyone's faces were full of hatred and hatred, as if they wished that Yu Linglong could be pulled out of the carriage immediately and torn to pieces.

In the distance, more people rushed over, and it seemed that the news spread quickly. More and more people knew that Yu Linglong was the sage of the Qinglian Sect, the demon girl who was hated by countless people.

With such feelings, Yu Linglong can understand how many people Qinglian taught have given up their parents, wives and children, given up family business, and only devoted themselves to deep mountain practice. Although they made such a decision, they are From the eyes of their relatives, the Qinglian Sect is the demonic sect that took away their relatives. How can they not hate or be angry?

She can understand the emotions of the people, but this does not mean that she will make herself a scapegoat for Qinglian Sect.

More and more hands stretched out to her carriage, and the carriage swayed more severely. If this continued, the carriage would soon be overthrown by the crowd.

At that time, both she and Ling'er will have nowhere to hide.

The situation outside is critical, but Yu Linglong is not afraid. She has seen scenes greater than this and experienced times more dangerous than this. What she has to consider is how to minimize the loss without letting it go I was hurt.

Although it happened so suddenly, she knew very well that the person who exposed her identity as the saint of the Qinglian Church was Princess Zhou.

She has no time to think about the psychology of Princess Zhou who has promoted her identity. The most important thing at this moment is how to rush out of these excited crowds.

She doesn't want to hurt these innocent people, these people are just being used by others.

Suddenly there was a clicking sound from outside the carriage, Ling'er probed out and took a look, and said: "Wang Hao, the carriage is cracked."

If this continues, the carriage will really be torn apart by the crowd.

Yu Linglong was thinking about countermeasures in the carriage, but did not notice that on the other side of the street, a vigorous horse carrying a pine-green figure was slowly passing by.

Seeing the noisy situation here, Gan Lin frowned. Just about to ride away, he heard the follower's surprised voice: "Hey, isn't that the carriage of the Xu Palace?"

Gan Lin was startled, and immediately looked over here, and saw that golden bells fell on the four corners of the carriage, and it made a crisp jingle under the push of the crowd. Such a carriage could only be for the master of the palace. Ride.

Wang Xu has not returned from the foreign supervisory battle, so the only people in this carriage are......

Gan Lin Gu didn't think much about it, and the horse whip in his hand squeezed the horse buttocks fiercely and rushed towards the carriage.

At this moment, hundreds of people are yelling: "The Demon Cult Demon Girl, get out and die!"

Looking at the crumbling carriage in the crowd, Gan Lin was very worried and couldn't help but cried out: "Stop! She is not a demon, she is not!"

But his voice was immediately drowned in the angry screams of everyone, and he couldn't even hear him.

The crowd pushed each other, his mount couldn't get in at all, Gan Lin pushed away and pulled the hand of his entourage, and squeezed towards the carriage.

Linglong, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!

He didn’t know where his strength came from. He just pushed hard to push away the bustling crowd around him and got in from the crowd. In the struggle, the jade crown on his head fell down and was crushed by the crowd. He was torn in a mess, sweat and dust all over his body, but he really squeezed into the crowd and reached the side of the carriage.

Trying to push away the countless pairs of hands that stretched out to the carriage, Gan Lin climbed into the carriage and exclaimed out of breath: "Stop your hands!"

No one listens to him, his voice is in the hundreds of angry screams, like a drop of water into the sea, without a trace, you can't hear it at all.

Gan Lin was alone, unable to deal with these angry people at all. He was thinking about Yu Linglong, and he didn't think much about it, so he opened the curtain of the car.

"Linglong, are you okay?"

Yu Linglong was sitting in the carriage, only frowned slightly when she saw him embarrassed: "Why are you here?"

Gan Lin said anxiously: "I'll save you!"

Yu Linglong's pretty face sank, save her? This kid is really overwhelming.

At this moment, seeing Gan Lin climb into the carriage, the situation outside suddenly changed.

Most of these people are ordinary people. There is no leader. In the face of Yu Linglong’s carriage, they only used pushing and yelling to vent their anger, but did not take any further action, but they saw Gan Lindi. One climbed into the carriage and lifted the curtain to reveal the true face of the so-called demon girl inside. The anger of everyone finally reached a critical point.

Immediately someone climbed up to the carriage like a rain shower, and reached out to catch Yu Linglong, shouting: "Witch, you made my family ruined, I want to kill you!"

Gan Lin was shocked, and quickly reached out to touch the man's hand and shouted: "You misunderstood! She is not a demon, she is—"

Ling'er obviously does not have the patience of Gan Lin, and she has the heart to explain to people blinded by hatred that her purpose is only one, that is: whoever dares to hurt the princess must die!

Seeing Ling'er drew out the short sword in her hand, Yu Linglong immediately reached out and held her hand.

Ling'er turned her head, her face was puzzled and surprised: "Wang Hao!?"

Everyone rushed into the carriage. Isn’t the princess still willing to do it? This is not the style of the princess at all!

Yu Linglong lifted her foot and kicked the person who climbed into the carriage gently and skillfully, and said in a deep voice, "Do you want me and the prince to bear the charge of injustice and killing innocent people!?" /

Hearing these words, Ling'er gave an initiation, and immediately understood Yu Linglong's intentions.

Yu Linglong has never been a person who is good at tolerance, but today facing so many misunderstandings of the common people, facing such a dangerous situation, she has been holding back her hands, not because of her timidity, but because, Her identity is Princess Xu.

In this sensitive period, if Yu Linglong does something, even if it only hurts a single citizen, it will have a huge impact on King Xu. The prince is bound to seize this matter and make a big fuss about King Xu. The popular sentiments that were easy to win over were completely dissipated.

Don’t even think about it, but the ambassador behind this incident is probably the Prince. Only he can calculate people's minds so finely. He knows that with Yu Linglong's temperament, the common people will definitely not be bullied. Therefore, as Yu Linglong is a demon girl, he gathers hundreds of people and surrounds Yu. The exquisite carriage provoked trouble. In this way, Yu Linglong would be unable to bear to resist, and the prince could use Concubine Xu to beat the civilians as an excuse to destroy King Xu’s reputation.

This is a battle for people's hearts. The enthusiastic people are like a large grassland full of weeds. It only takes a little spark to ignite a raging fire.

Whoever provokes this spark will fail.

So Yu Linglong chose silence and patience.

After fighting with the prince for so long, Yu Linglong has already determined the prince's routine. Because of this, she can't be fooled.

It is not easy to hold back one's temper, especially for people like Yu Linglong, but tolerance is also an offensive method.

Understanding Yu Linglong's intentions, Ling'er couldn't help but clenched the dagger in her hand. She looked at more and more people coming up outside, her voice could not help but feel a little anxious: "Wang Hao, are we just like this? Wait any longer?"

Yu Linglong's eyes sank, and she answered Ling'er's words with action.

A sudden kick kicked Ganlin from the carriage, and was falling onto the crowd closest to them. People subconsciously dodge the body of the rain falling from the sky, and the crowded crowd finally had a small Loose.

Yu Linglong seized the opportunity, grabbing the short sword from Ling'er, and slamming it on the horse's hip.

The horse pulling the cart was caught off guard. After suffering a heavy blow, the man stood up in pain and let out a long, miserable hiss.

The frightened horse suddenly exerted its strength and rushed out into the crowd. The crowd shunned it and was knocked out of the way. The horse rushed out of the way.

Before people could react, the horse had already rushed out of the crowd and galloped across the street.

How could a person's feet catch up with a frightened horse? Seeing the carriage galloping away, people didn't even react for a while.

It wasn't until Yu Linglong's carriage disappeared across the street that people came back to their senses, and suddenly became even more angry.

So many people surrounded the two women, and they escaped! ?

I don't know who shouted: "Report to the officer! Let the government catch the demon girl!"

One sentence reminded everyone, everyone immediately shouted, "Yes! Go to the official, go to the official!"

Gan Lin got up from the ground in embarrassment, but heard such words, saw the crowd walking towards Jing Zhaoyin Yamen in a rush, and suddenly raised her heart when she saw Yu Linglong escape from the danger and let go.

Looking at the crowd going away, Gan Lin stomped fiercely, and ordered to find his entourage after hard work: "Go find Dad——"

After saying three words, he suddenly stopped. Because of the prince's rebellion, people close to the prince were ordered to ban their feet, and Mrs. Gan was also placed under house arrest, and he couldn't do anything at all.

Gan Lin gritted his teeth and jerked back on his horse.

The entourage hurriedly followed up: "My son, where are we going?"

Gan Lin grabbed his horse's belly and said: "Enter the palace! I'm going to beg my aunt!"

Tao Fu Gan couldn't see the emperor, but the queen was in the palace. Although he knew that the queen was also implicated because of the prince, at this moment Gan Lin really didn't know whom to ask for, except for the queen.

He can't just watch Yu Linglong be in danger, he must do his best to protect her!

……

The carriage rushed out of the crowd and quickly ran out of the city. Yu Linglong and Ling'er had to try their best to grasp the wooden frame of the carriage to barely maintain their balance and not to be thrown off by the rushing carriage.

I don't know how long it took before the exhausted horse fell to the ground, panting heavily, too tired to stand up.

The carriage finally stopped. It was already far away from the capital, surrounded by dense woods, so you couldn't see the outside world.

Ling'er quickly got out of the car and reached out to help Yu Linglong: "Wang Hao, you come down first--"

Before the words fell, a whistle suddenly sounded in the woods, and then, there were countless rustling sounds from the trees that had been silent just now, and they quickly approached them.

Yu Linglong was startled, and the hand that had just been placed in Ling'er's hand tightened immediately, and Ling'er pulled back into the carriage. She looked up and saw countless figures flashing in the dense leaves. Move closer to them in a circle.

Dangerous!

Yu Linglong looked down at the frothy horse, and drew out the blood-stained dagger on the horse's buttocks. The horse twitched with pain and subconsciously thought. Struggling to get up.

Before the horse stood up from the ground, a long arrow flew out of the bushes and shot straight into the horse’s head. The seriously injured horse fell down without a grunt. The ground doesn't move.

Yu Linglong's heart is tight, the enemy actually has an archer!

She immediately pulled Ling'er into the carriage, and the curtains were lowered, and another cluster of arrows followed, nailing them to the shaft of the carriage where they were just standing, and the tail of the arrow was trembling slightly, making people look at it. Can't help shuddering.

This is the wilderness. The horse pulling the cart died again. There were only two of them, but they were trapped in a circle.

Although Ling'er was superb, she was still pale with fright at the situation. Yu Linglong stood up the small case in the carriage without saying a word, blocked the door, and pulled Ling'er to sit. In the middle of the car, try to stay as far away from the wall as possible.

She just finished the arrangement, she heard one after another of arrows coming from all around, and the sound of whooshes kept hitting the carriage, and it was shot on the carriage.

Rao is that this carriage has a thick wooden wall, but it is still shot through numerous small holes by arrows. Yu Linglong and Ling'er are sitting tightly in the carriage, surrounded by densely shining arrows, more and more. , Almost tore the carriage apart.

With a clang, a sharp arrow came in through the gap in the desk of the car door, flew over Yu Linglong's shoulder, and plunged straight into the wooden wall behind the car.

Ling'er drew out the arrow and stood up awkwardly: "The princess, the servants are going to fight with them!"

Yu Linglong pulled Ling'er back, and said solemnly: "Now is not the time to be brave, sit down!"

Ling'er held a long arrow in her hand, and her voice changed anxiously: "Wang Hao, should we just wait like this? If this goes on, the carriage will sooner or later--"

Ling'er stopped talking, but she couldn't understand what she meant. They just stayed in the carriage like this, just waiting to die.

Yu Linglong listened to the movement outside and said, "Sooner or later, their arrows will finish shooting."

A word to remind Ling'er, Ling'er grabbed the arrow in her hand and pressed her lips tightly.

Yu Linglong took the arrow from her hand and observed it carefully. The arrow was well-made and sharp. Although there was no sign, Yu Linglong could tell at a glance that it was an arrow made by the government.

This also confirmed her suspicion that the person who chased her was indeed sent by the prince.

It seems that she still underestimated the prince. She thought that the prince just wanted to instigate the people to surround her carriage, but now it seems that the prince’s envoy was a serial strategy. If Yu Linglong did not harm the innocent people, then she would only Can choose to escape from the siege of the people and take shelter temporarily. But the prince had arranged manpower to follow all the way, once he found that Yu Linglong had stopped, he immediately started to take her life.

Yu Linglong's skill is well-known, and there is another martial arts expert like Linger around him. The prince is afraid that they will escape from birth, so he arranges so many archers and wants to shoot them alive.

With such an encircled circle of arrows like migratory locusts, even if Yu Linglong and Ling'er had two pairs of wings, they couldn't escape at all.

There were more and more arrows shot on the carriage, almost covering the walls of the carriage. Although Yu Linglong was bold and calm, she couldn't help but clenched Ling'er's hand when she saw this situation.

She didn't know the situation outside. If the prince really arranged enough archers, then once the carriage was split by an arrow, she and Ling'er would no longer have a hiding place.

I don't know how long it took, the arrow rain finally gradually decreased, and the surroundings returned to silence.

Yu Linglong covered Ling'er's mouth and motioned her not to say anything, while she listened carefully to the surrounding movement.

The archer’s arrows shouldn’t be shot out. The enemy might just want to check whether the two masters and servants have been silent and motionless for so long, whether they have been shot to death.

If this is the case, soon someone will approach the carriage, and then they will have a chance to escape.

Sure enough, as expected by Yu Linglong, there was a rustle of footsteps in the bushes, apparently walking towards the carriage.

Yu Linglong, like a big enemy, couldn't help but clenched the short sword in her hand. She listened to the movement outside with all her concentration, ready to make a move.

She heard the man approaching the carriage, and saw a hand stretched out from behind the desk, as if trying to push away the table blocking the door to see what was inside the carriage.

Just when the case was pushed aside, Yu Linglong stabbed the dagger out, and the man outside immediately let out a cry of pain, but before Yu Linglong could see where the man was injured, she heard it. The arrow rain that had just subsided became dense again.

The person who pushed the case away made a cry of fear again, but this time it was not Yu Linglong who hurt him, but his companion, who mercilessly shot a sharp arrow into his body.

Yu Linglong's heart sank. She wanted to hold that person as a hostage or shield to block the locust-like arrows, but now it seems that those people want their lives, even if they sacrifice their lives. Life is also not hesitated.

If this is the case, it would be even more difficult to escape from here.

What's more terrible is that the shield case at the door was almost pushed open by the man. Now the door of the car is completely open, and it can't stop the rain of flying arrows.

At this critical juncture, a huge commotion suddenly sounded outside. Before Yu Linglong and Ling'er could react, a figure fell from the sky and landed at the door of their carriage, immediately blocking part of the flying arrows.

Yu Linglong and Ling'er looked at each other. Before saying anything, they heard the screams one after another in mid-air, and one figure after another fell from the sky onto the carriage, but within a short time, the carriage door was corpses. The blockade was tight, and immediately solved the crisis between Yu Linglong and Ling'er.

Ling'er boldly looked out from the gap in the car wall. Yu Linglong only saw a cyan figure flying quickly in the air, and heard Ling'er's surprise cry: "Brother Feng, is that you!" ?"

Yu Linglong frowned, Feng Xuanyuan? why did he come here?

However, this is obviously not the right time to think about this issue. Feng Xuanyuan’s sudden arrival attracted most of the enemy’s attention. Feng Xuanyuan's figure went.

Feng Xuanyuan has a quick body shape. Although he was in the rain of arrows, he still swiftly avoided the arrow clusters that were shot at him. From time to time, he pulled out the archers hidden in the bushes and threw them to the carriage to block the arrows for Yu Linglong.

Seeing that Feng Xuanyuan was alone, Linger turned her head and said to Yu Linglong: "Wang Hao, the servant girl, go out and help Brother Feng."

Yu Linglong took a deep look at Ling'er, paused, and nodded in agreement: "Be careful."

Ling'er replied yes, then pushed a few corpses away and flew out.

As soon as Ling'er went out, there were a few more screams in the bushes. After being forced to hide in the car for so long by the rain of arrows, Ling'er was obviously holding back. Enemies were all killed, and several archers were killed in a blink of an eye.

Although there are two masters, Feng Xuanyuan and Ling'er, there are hundreds of archers sent by the prince. Even if Feng Xuanyuan and Ling'er can be ten, they still can't completely block the enemy's offensive.

Just when many archers were aiming towards the sky and repeatedly firing bows and arrows that could not catch up with Feng Xuanyuan and Ling'er in vain, someone suddenly shouted: "Turn the direction and shoot the carriage!"

The archers immediately woke up and aimed their bows and arrows at the carriage again. As long as they completed the task of killing Yu Linglong, they could retreat all over. There was no need to play hide-and-seek with Feng Xuanyuan and Ling'er.

Seeing a large cluster of arrows flying towards the dilapidated carriage, Ling'er exclaimed, and subconsciously flew towards the carriage, as if she wanted to block the lightning-fast arrows with her body.

It was said that it was too late and it was fast. Before Ling'er's figure landed on the carriage, Feng Xuanyuan suddenly jumped over and pulled Ling'er from the air abruptly, avoiding a few flying arrows.

With just such a move, Feng Xuanyuan's figure exposed a large gap, and a sharp arrow flew out unexpectedly and deeply pierced Feng Xuanyuan's right chest.

Feng Xuanyuan let out a muffled hum, and before his feet landed on the carriage, he drew a long arrow from the hedgehog-like corpses at the door of the carriage, and waved back without looking at it, suddenly in the woods. There was a scream, apparently stabbed by an arrow.

When Ling'er saw the arrow on Feng Xuanyuan's body, she suddenly exclaimed. She hurriedly pushed away the corpse, pushed Feng Xuanyuan into the carriage, followed by herself, and quickly blocked the door of the car with the corpse.

In the carriage, Ling'er looked at the arrow on Feng Xuanyuan with tears in her eyes, reaching out to pull it out, but she really didn't dare, and she burst into tears: "Brother Feng, what can I do with this..."

Feng Xuanyuan didn't seem to notice the injuries on his body at all. From the moment he got into the carriage, his sight stayed on Yu Linglong's body, and he didn't leave for a moment.

Yu Linglong glanced at him coldly and said, "Why are you here?"

Feng Xuanyuan paused before saying: "I heard you are in danger."

Yu Linglong looked away, no matter how powerful Feng Xuanyuan was, it was impossible to guess the trap set by the prince for her. That is to say, Feng Xuanyuan had heard that the people knew of her identity as the saint of Qinglian, thinking To besiege her, Feng Xuanyuan followed all the way, but unfortunately fell into the circle of archers with them.

Looking at Yu Linglong's indifferent face, Feng Xuanyuan's lips made a familiar evil smile, and he whispered: "Yu'er, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't see you yet."

Yu Linglong frowned slightly, Feng Xuanyuan was still thinking about all this mess.

Ling'er was extremely worried and cried: "Brother Feng, what do you think, is it painful? You... why are you so stupid... woo woo..."

Feng Xuanyuan smiled faintly, as if he didn't feel the pain at all, he glanced at Linger and sighed: "Silly girl, why are you crying, I won't die, your princess...cough cough... …Not to die..."

Perhaps in a hurry, Feng Xuanyuan coughed suddenly, and with the violent coughing, a serpentine blood ran from the corner of his mouth, which was shocking on his pale face.

Yu Linglong just glanced at it and knew that he had hurt his lungs, she couldn't help but frowned slightly, and said: "Don't talk anymore, be careful of hurting your body."

Just a cold sentence, Feng Xuanyuan suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, with an unconcealable surprise in his eyes: "Yu'er, do you care about me?"

Yu Linglong listened carefully to the movement outside, her face was cold, and she didn't pay attention to Feng Xuanyuan at all.

The look in Feng's eyes gradually dimmed, and a helpless, bitter smile appeared at the corner of Feng Xuanyuan's mouth, and said softly: "You still refuse to forgive me."

Yu Linglong didn't even glance at him, and said coldly: "There is nothing to forgive or not forgive. There has never been any relationship between you and me."

Looking at her expressionless pretty face deeply, Feng Xuanyuan's voice gradually lowered: "Yes...from the beginning, it was my wishful thinking."

He doesn’t even know when he started to be like this. The iceberg-like beautiful woman in front of him always affects his heart, even if he is watching the world, even if he is arrogant, But with a look in her eyes and a word, she will be defeated and defeated.

But she belongs to someone else.

In her eyes, he was just an irrelevant person after all.

Feng Xuanyuan's voice is getting lower and lower, and with every word of his, the blood in his mouth is constantly pouring out.

"Yu'er, I always can't control myself, I want to do many things for you, maybe only in this way, you may be moved by me, even if only a little..."

Ling'er held Feng Xuanyuan's slowly falling body, crying to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said: "Brother Feng, you...you don't say any more..."

Feng Xuanyuan didn't seem to hear her, but still said to himself: "Sometimes I even think, if you are willing to stay by my side, I would rather give up my status as the leader and be an ordinary person... Maybe Only in this way, I won’t think about it, I won’t have so many worries, I can protect you like him... Hehe, he protects you so well, even if I want to do something, I don’t have a chance. ...If not today..."

Yu Linglong suddenly stretched out her hand to cover Feng Xuanyuan's gray lips.

This action made Feng Xuanyuan and Ling'er stunned together, Feng Xuanyuan struggled to lift his upper body, but was pushed down by Yu Linglong, Yu Linglong listened to the outside voice vigilantly, and said solemnly: "Don't speak !"

Outside the carriage is still a shower of arrows, the carriage that has been shot torn apart is already crumbling, and it may break at any time and place, but in the sound of these swish arrows and the cracking of the wood, An unfamiliar voice is rapidly expanding.

It was the rapid sound of horses' hoofs, the shouts of soldiers, swept over with a wind-like whistling.

Ling'er's face with teardrops suddenly rises in huge ecstasy: "Princess, someone is coming!"

The galloping army came in an instant. They could hear the crisp sound of the trees being stepped on, the crisp sound of the weapons smashing and killing, and the arrow rain outside suddenly became sparsely scattered. Instead, it was those The footsteps of the archers fleeing.

The well-trained soldiers, like cutting melons and vegetables, ruthlessly chased down the archers to death, a familiar and anxious voice sounded in midair, no longer the calmness of the past: "Linglong, Linglong! Where are you? !?"

Hearing the call of this voice, Yu Linglong stood up suddenly, kicked the corpse away from the door, and jumped out of the carriage.

Without waiting for her to settle down, a black figure flew swiftly from the air and hugged her tightly into her arms, as if holding a lost treasure.

The familiar mint scent came from the nose, and his worried voice was in his ear: "I am still worried that I will be late...How are you, are you injured?"

Subconsciously surrounding King Xu's waist, Yu Linglong's nerves tense for a long time, and finally relax the moment he sees him.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

She knew that with him, she was really safe.

Yu Linglong raised her eyes to look around, and saw that the surrounding trees were scattered all over the place. The grass was covered with blood and corpses lying on the ground. Bows and arrows were scattered everywhere, and there were several remnants. Fleeing far away, behind them, the dark guards are chasing.

Yu Linglong leaned on King Xu’s chest and whispered: "Why are you here?"

The handsome face of King Xu sank, obviously suppressing his huge anger: "The news of the dark guard was sent late. When I found out that the prince had secretly mobilized a group of archers, I realized that he wanted to be right. You are not good... Fortunately, you are fine."

The big hand holding her tightly, King Xu seems to have forgotten that there are countless subordinates around him, he just hugged her in his arms and looked at her face carefully: "Are you scared? Blame me, I'm late..."

Yu Linglong felt a strange move in her heart. She leaned in the arms of King Xu and said softly: "It's fine if you come."

At this time, Ling'er had cleaned the door of the carriage and carried Feng Xuanyuan out of the carriage.

Seeing Feng Xuanyuan, King Xu's sword brows wrinkled slightly, and his thin lips suddenly became a line.

Feng Xuanyuan stroked his chest with one hand and supported the cowl with the other. Standing in front of the carriage, he stared at Wang Xu coldly.

Feng Xuanyuan faintly met King Xu's murderous eyes, with a wicked smile on the corners of his lips, and whispered: "This time, I'm here first."

Yu Linglong felt that King Xu held her big hand tighter, and the atmosphere that had just become relaxed, suddenly became serious again.

Wang Xu said in a deep voice: "This is the last time."

Feng Xuanyuan's gaze slowly moved to Yu Linglong's body, his voice floating in the forest wind, looking so desperate.

"Yu'er, you won't come to me, will you?"

Yu Linglong replied decisively: "Yes, in this life and this life, you should not be wishful thinking!"

The king Xu raised his sword eyebrows and looked at Feng Xuanyuan’s eyes full of anger: "Feng Xuanyuan, have you harmed her not enough? In this life, as long as I am alive, I will never let him You step closer to her!"

Lastly glanced at Yu Linglong, who was cold and frosty, Feng Xuanyuan smiled dismal, pushed Ling'er's hand away, turned around slowly, and walked away.

Ling'er stared at Feng Xuanyuan's back in a daze, her eyes filled with tears, but she suddenly wiped away the tears, as if she was afraid that the tears would blur her vision towards Feng Xuanyuan.

It wasn't until Feng Xuanyuan staggered to the edge of the woods that Linger seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly turned around and knelt down to Yu Linglong.

"The princess, the servant girl... the servant girl wants to beg you..."

Looking at Ling'er hesitating and stopping, Yu Linglong faintly guessed something, she sighed, and asked gently: "You speak."

Ling'er lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look at Yu Linglong's eyes, she whispered: "Wang Hao, Brother Feng is badly injured, and the slave and maidservant are very afraid...I'm afraid that something will happen to him..."

She said faster and faster, as if she was afraid that Yu Linglong would interrupt her, she said hurriedly: "Please, let the slave and maidservant take care of Brother Feng!"

Yu Linglong looked at Ling'er's sad expression and nodded gently: "Okay, you go."

As if not believing in her ears, Ling'er suddenly raised her head and looked at Yu Linglong: "Wang Hao, slave and maidservant maybe... maybe just..."

Yu Linglong said: "I understand, if you want, just follow him all the time."

Ling'er bit her lip and kowtowed her head deeply, with a cry in her voice: "Wang Hao, the slave and maid are sorry for you, and the slave and maid are really sorry for you!"

Yu Linglong cast her gaze into the distance. Outside the forest, Feng Xuanyuan's figure appeared from time to time.

"Go ahead."

In the end, he kowtowed to Yu Linglong, Ling'er stood up, tapped his feet lightly, and chased in the direction where Feng Xuanyuan was leaving.

Looking at the bird-like figure of Ling'er, Yu Linglong sighed slightly.

If Feng Xuanyuan can make Ling'er happy, maybe it's not a bad thing.

The always silent King Xu seemed to understand her feelings and gently embraced her shoulders, and said softly, "They will be fine, don't worry."

Yu Linglong retracted her thoughts and whispered: "In the capital...I wonder what's going on now?"

Thinking of the prince, Xu Wang Jun's face was covered with a deep anger, and said: "This time, he is determined not to escape!"

If it is said that the king Xu has always adopted a policy of being gentle with the prince before, then this time the prince's action on Yu Linglong is touching the bottom line of the king.

Waiting for him will be a storm.

……

Gan Lin has been kneeling outside the temple for more than half a day.

No matter how he begged to be in charge of the father-in-law, the father-in-law had only one sentence: "The emperor has a decree, and the empress is unwell. She is taking care of her and no one can see her."

After being rejected countless times, Gan Lin had an inexplicable premonition in his heart.

In the palace, something important seems to have happened.

He guessed right. At this moment, in Fengyang Palace, which had been deserted for many days, something that had been in the dust for many years was slowly being revealed.

Concubine Wu Zhao wore a moon-white brocade, with only two plain silver hairpins on her head, and no cosmetics on her face, which made her very helpless and pitiful. At this moment, she knelt on the ground, her delicate shoulders trembling tremblingly, and she cried bitterly, covering her face: "...The emperor, the concubine really doesn't know what's going on. The concubine just thought that she hadn't seen the queen sister for a long time. I got up early in the morning to greet the Queen’s sister, who knows that when the Queen’s sister saw the concubine, she seemed to be frightened and talked nonsense... The emperor, the concubine was wronged, and the concubine even said something. I haven’t had time to talk to the Queen’s sister..."

Concubine Wu Zhao knelt on the ground and cried very pitifully. The emperor's long eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he glanced at the imperial physician standing beside him, and the imperial physician hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Enjoy the emperor, the empress empress is a convulsion. The minister has prescribed a prescription, and after taking the medicine and resting for a few days, he will be relieved."

There is no expression on the emperor's face, it has always been faint, as if listening to a matter of no concern.

Secretly glanced at the emperor’s face, Concubine Wu Zhao walked forward and whispered: "The emperor, the concubine has something to say, I don’t know whether to say it or not..."

The emperor looked at Concubine Wu Zhao and said in a deep voice: "Speak!"

Concubine Wu Zhao said softly: "After the Queen's sister fell ill, she said a lot of strange things, what if my palace kills you? Not only will this palace kill you, but the son of this palace will kill your son... The emperor, the concubines also knew that the queen sister was talking nonsense after being frightened, but the concubines were really scared..."

Looking at the emperor’s frowning frown, Concubine Wu Zhao took out her veil and wiped her face, and said in a mournful voice: "His Royal Highness...Oh no, it’s the grand prince, the grand prince, the concubines and others. The sisters were very worried. The concubine watched the prince grow up, but he did not expect him to do such a thing. The concubine was afraid, would the prince act on other princes..."

Concubine Wu Zhao seemed to be more frightened as she spoke, stretched her hand to grab the hem of the dragon robe, and said sadly: "The emperor! The concubine and King Qi are only the emperor, please, the emperor, protect our mother and son and other princes. Come on!"

The emperor snorted heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Bring all the people who are waiting for the queen!"

Concubine Wu Zhao lowered her head in fear, hiding the joy in her eyes.

As long as the emperor’s suspicion is aroused, then the queen is a dead tree, just a light push can completely push her off the queen’s throne!

Several palace ladies and eunuchs walked in, bowed their heads, fell to the ground together, and said with a trembling: "The servant (minion) please please the emperor."

The emperor's voice echoed in the empty palace of Fengyang Palace, with a severe chill: "What did the queen say? Which prince is she going to kill this time!?"

Hearing the stern voice of the emperor, the maidservants and eunuchs were so scared that they fell to the ground and did not dare to lift their heads: "The servant (minion) does not know, please forgive the emperor!"

Concubine Wu Zhao rolled her eyes, and suddenly burst into tears, crying to the ground: "The emperor! You don't have to ask any more. The concubine knows that the queen sister has always disliked the concubine, and the queen sister is sick this time, too. Your concubine is harmed! Please punish your concubine, your concubine never dared to make the queen angry anymore!"

This trick was ingeniously practical. Seeing Concubine Wu Zhao’s miserable appearance, the emperor was really angry. He patted the armrest and said angrily: "Let her think in secret, she dare to pretend to be sick? Nonsense? Who do you want to tell the gibberish? I want to see, what else can she do to harm people!"

The emperor was furious, and everyone in the palace hurriedly knelt down, only to hear the emperor say: "Come on, pull the queen out for me, I will interrogate myself!"

Seeing that the emperor was really angry, a maid dressed up as a grandmother hurriedly stepped forward and begged: "Please forgive me, the emperor! The empress is really sick, she can't stand the toss! The emperor--"

Concubine Wu Zhao immediately pointed to the grandmother and said angrily: "Bold! How dare you not even listen to the emperor's words? Who gave you such courage!?"

The implication of these words is very obvious. This mother helped the queen to speak and even dared to refute the emperor. Of course, she was relying on the queen's power.

The mother was so scared that she kowtows her head again and again: "The concubine Zhao, the maidservant convicts! Just begging the emperor to be merciful, wait for the mother to be safe, and then ask the mother..."

Her forehead desperately touched the ground, gurgling blood flowed out, and the mother cried: "The lady has lost a lot of weight these days, she has lost a lot of weight, and her body has completely collapsed. She really can't stand the emperor. Interrogation..."

Concubine Wu Zhao turned to the emperor, pretending to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said in a sad voice: "The emperor, the concubines also know that they shouldn't provoke the queen now, but if you don't ask about it every day, the concubines can't let go... …The concubines are nothing but worry about the princes...If something goes wrong with them, the emperor, it would be too late to regret then!"

Seeing the appearance of Concubine Wu Zhao fanning the flames, the mother gritted her teeth and said: "The emperor, Concubine Zhao, if it's just because of this, then the emperor and concubine Zhao don't have to worry. Not Empress Zhao and Prince Qi."

Concubine Wu Zhao immediately grabbed the handle in the words and asked: "Who is that talking about?"

Even if it wasn't to kill Concubine Zhao and King Qi, the emperor still had seven other princes. No matter who the queen was going to kill, they were all ten fingers connected to the heart.

The mother didn't speak any more, she just kept kowtow desperately, as if she didn't dare to say it to death.

I remembered that the prince was still making trouble in the capital, and the queen was not honest in the harem. The emperor couldn't help being angry from his gall. With a wave of his sleeve, the tea cup on the table suddenly fell.

"Say! Who is she going to kill!"

The mother was so scared that she couldn't help shaking, and said hurriedly: "This...this..."

Seeing the grandmother, still dare not say, the emperor directly ordered: "Come on, pull this old thing out and beat it to death!"

The guards outside the palace gate agreed in unison, and they went into the hall to pull the mother. Now she was scared to death, and immediately shouted: "The emperor is forgiving! The slave and the maid just say this! Just say!"

The emperor waved his hand, and the guards put down the maid, and only listened to the maid trembling and saying: "I beg the emperor to forgive the slave and maid’s death..."

I couldn't hear the emperor's promise, but the mother didn't dare not to say it, she said quickly: "The person who said in the mouth of the empress is Empress Ling Gui... and Prince Xu..."

The emperor’s complexion suddenly turned blue, and even his voice changed: "What did you say?"

The mother hurriedly said: "This morning, the empress did not get up, so the concubine Zhao concubine came to the palace to greet her. Seeing that the empress did not wake up, she thought it was her sickness, so she went to the bed to visit. Who knows this? I was terrified of the empress, in fact...actually..."

The mother swallowed with difficulty, and continued: "In fact, the empress saw Empress Zhao concubine as the concubine Ling, and thought it was the imperial concubine who came to claim her life, so she was frightened like this."

The emperor suppressed the excitement and asked in a deep voice: "Why is she afraid of Concubine Ling, say!"

The mother lay down on the ground, not daring to look at the emperor’s angry face, and tremblingly said: “When the imperial concubine and the empress dominated the harem, the empress was very jealous. At that time, the epidemic was prevalent in the capital, and the empress ordered the coat of arms People, secretly stuffed the old clothes of the people who died of the plague into the clothes of the noble concubine and empress. After a while, the noble concubine and the empress became infected with the epidemic. The empress used this as an excuse to seal the noble concubine and empress’s residence, and no one was allowed to visit. , Let alone the imperial concubine and the emperor..."

The emperor became more frightened as he heard it, he stood up quickly, kicked the case in front of him, and said angrily: "This poisonous woman!"

Concubine Wu Zhao hurriedly knelt down and cried: "The emperor calms down, don't get angry!"

She couldn't help wiping her tears, and said in a mournful voice: "I didn't expect that the concubine sister was so unreliable... At the beginning, the concubines were also surprised. Why did the concubine sister never go out of the palace, so she would catch the epidemic? …Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

For the emperor who just learned the truth, the cries of Concubine Wu Zhao's cries are no different than a catalyst. The always calm and kind emperor was furious with anger, and shouted: "Come on! Put the queen into the cold palace! I want to Abolish this poisonous woman!"

Hearing these words, Concubine Wu Zhao's heart rose with great joy, but on the surface, she cried more miserably: "The emperor, you have to think twice..."

The emperor said angrily: "Think twice? Think twice, my concubine and prince will be killed by her!"

Concubine Wu Zhao pretended not to dare to say any more, but she lay down on the ground and wept bitterly.

In the inner palace, the queen slowly opened her eyes listening to the noise outside.

Really, is she going to be a dead end?

Her son became a waste prince and was conquered by the emperor and King Xu, and she in the harem will also become a waste.

She seems to have seen her end. In the near future, her son will be captured by King Xu, and she will be guilty of this. In the cold palace, she has only two choices: bad wine or Bai Ling.

There was a bitter smile on her pale face. Whatever after a lifetime of glory, and what about a lifetime, she is still going to return to the loess after all.

Close her eyes lightly, she said in a voice that only she could hear: "Ling Qinghe, the emperor is avenging you, this time, are you happy?"

Outside the palace, the voice of the emperor and the cries of Concubine Wu Zhao and others seemed to be more and more distant, but she fell into a long sleep.

The burden of a lifetime was finally let go at this moment.

The truth that had been hidden for many years finally surfaced. For the instigator, it might not be a relief.

……

At this moment, the prince did not know that his mother was on the verge of death, and he was being overwhelmed by the situation in front of him.

The army that had been surrounding the Chaoyang Gate, but was still standing still, suddenly began an offensive without warning. The Prince's army was already distracted, and the remaining soldiers had already lost their vigilance under the situation that King Xu had been standing still for a long time. , And King Xu suddenly mobilized nine battalions and twelve guards in one day, and launched an attack on Chaoyangmen mercilessly.

The prince’s army was caught off guard, and within half a day, the prince was defeated. Under the protection of more than a dozen personal guards, the prince disguised himself as a commoner and fled the capital hastily.

In the hot summer, the prince and the others fled for more than a dozen miles, and it became unbearably hot. Seeing that there were no chasing soldiers behind, they stopped and took a rest at a tea stand on the side of the road.

There was a rag on the bamboo pole, and the right was used as a pergola. The prince and the guards sat on the dilapidated low stool and drank the extremely bitter herbal tea. This situation was truly distressing.

However, the few rural talents sitting on the table next door are shaking the pu fan and talking freely about state affairs. Of course, the prince’s rebellion is a hot topic nowadays.

"...How well did the emperor treat the prince? The reward for the prince was the first reward for anything good. In that year, the Southern Barbarian riots, General Zhenyuan quelled the rebellion. The prince had neither money nor effort, but the emperor Having said that, General Zhenyuan was recommended by the prince. General Zhenyuan’s meritorious service is the prince’s credit and rewarded the prince’s mansion with a full one hundred thousand taels of gold! But now, look at it, the prince actually has to fight against him! What an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"

"You don’t understand it. The so-called habitual son is like killing a son. The emperor is so good to the prince. Only then will he grow his appetite more and more. Giving gold is not enough. !"

Several talents nodded and sighed: "It's really a lack of human heart!"

Someone said: "A good prince doesn’t do it, he has to rebel. This dude knows what war is called? I heard that Prince Xu only used a little force to defeat the prince. From now on. , Can be regarded as having a good life!"

A talented person said in a busy way: "You said, this prince is down, who will be the new crown prince?"

Someone immediately laughed and said: "Does this need to be asked? It must be His Royal Highness. The emperor has treated King Xu very much in recent years. This time, King Xu has done a good job in rebelling against him. Who will not stand him?"

"It would be great if it was Prince Xu. Prince Xu loves the people like a son, but he doesn't want to be like the prince, with one thing on the surface and one behind the other!"

"The downfall of the prince is a great thing for us people!"

These talented talents spoke happily, scolding the crown prince thoroughly and holding Xu Wang like a phoenix in the sky. Obviously, it was joyful.

The prince’s guards couldn’t hold back and stood up: "His Royal Highness, go down and slaughter these ignorant people!"

I glanced at the gray-faced prince, and Dao Chang Jingming on the side shouted in a low voice: "Sit down!"

The guard grabbed the hilt of the knife in his hand and sat down angrily.

Although he was fleeing, Dao Chang Jingming still wore a robes and looked calm and relaxed. He whispered to the prince: "In the Kang-Qian rebellion, tens of thousands of soldiers forced the palace, and Emperor Wu was forced to flee the capital. , There are only two little eunuchs around..."

Speaking of the past, the prince's eyes moved, and the light reunited.

Dao Master Jingming continued: "When Emperor Wu was at his worst, he couldn't fill his stomach and fed his hunger with stubble roots, but in the end he still achieved hegemony and became a generation of famous emperors. Your Royal Highness, the temporary difficulties are nothing, wait for them to come. If you think about today’s difficulties, you will surely feel that this is the test of the heavens for you, allowing you to experience becoming the emperor of the ages!"

Hearing the words of Daoist Jingming's encouragement, the prince took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Daoist, I will do my best to make a comeback!"

Even if he is an anti-thief that everyone despise, what if he is an unscrupulous rebellious son, as long as he can board the supreme dragon chair, these histories will be rewritten by him one by one. Later generations will praise his great cause, praise his fortitude, and he will be famous for generations to come!

And he knew that once this road was taken, he could never turn back, either succeed or die. This is the price paid to be an emperor.

A guard looked in the direction behind him vigilantly, and whispered: "Your Majesty, it looks like someone is catching up."

The prince stood up and said: "Go!"

Everyone got on their horses and raised their whips, and the road suddenly became dusty, and they began their next escape journey.

No one noticed that Jing Mingdao was at the end, quietly using a dagger to leave a strange-shaped trace on the shelf of the pergola.

Not long after, a group of people in black riding a dark horse galloped over. When they saw the mark on the shelf, someone immediately said: "Commander, there is a mark here."

The headed person looked up at the sky, then at the panic-stricken tea tent shopkeeper, and raised his whip towards the setting sun.

"Chasing!"

Hundreds of people in black chased in the direction of the prince's escape like a storm that swept the night, and disappeared in a flash, leaving a few talented people and the tea shed shopkeeper looking at each other.

Who are these people and why do they look so terrible? Is it possible for those who were chased by them to escape?

……

The night sky was as if splashed with ink, and it was so dark that it was disturbingly dark. There were no stars in the sky, and the mountains and forests were full of dark and unknown shadows, which made weird calls from time to time.

The prince and his team were exhausted and walked toward the mountain road. The more they went up, the steeper the mountain was. They had to get off their horses, trying to identify the direction in the dark, and climbing up with their feelings.

Even they themselves don't know where is their destination.

Walking to a flat place with a slightly slower terrain, Jing Ming said: "His Royal Highness, rest here for one night, and it won't be too late tomorrow."

The prince had already exhausted his energy, and only nodded, and took the lead to sit down.

On the opposite side is the endless night, a guard tentatively threw a stone over there, but there was a silly rolling sound, from near to far, as if it had fallen into a deep place.

Dao Chang Jingming said in a deep voice: "Be careful, everyone, there is a cliff over there."

Everyone was horrified and horrified, they couldn't help but leaned in the direction of the mountain and gathered together.

The mountains in the summer night were very cold. They were afraid of being discovered by the chasing soldiers, but they didn't dare to set the lights.

The prince sits alone on a rock, not knowing what he is thinking.

Dao Master Jingming distributed dry food among the crowd, and finally walked to the prince and handed him a piece of dry food.

"His Royal Highness, have something to eat."

The prince took the dry food. Based on the feeling in his hand, he knew that it was a dry and hard cake. He had no appetite and couldn't eat it anymore.

Holding dry food in his hand, the prince’s eyes looked even more bleak in the dark night. He began to miss the rich life in the past, and even for a moment, he doubted the purpose of his rebellion. He was a distinguished prince. Ah, what if you don't become the emperor? How can it not be that the cold wind is blowing on the dark mountain at this moment, eating such hard-to-swallow pancakes!

But the next moment, he immediately denied his idea, he chose this path himself, then he must bear the consequences.

What's more, before the last minute, he is not a loser!

Suppressing myself enough, the prince brought the crude cake in his hand to his mouth, and just about to start eating, he heard an exclamation from the guards.

The prince looked up, but found that at some point, a group of black figures had gathered around them, silently surrounding them. In the darkness, these figures seemed to be ghosts, exuding bursts of biting chill.

"Who!?" The cake in the hands of the prince suddenly fell to the ground. He stood up quickly, and subconsciously grabbed the Dao Jing Ming beside him. At this time, it seemed that only Dao Jing Ming was his greatest support. .

But he grabbed an empty space. Dao Master Jingming didn't know when he had left him and disappeared into the darkness.

The prince's hands were hanging in the air, and a loneliness that had never been felt before suddenly surged in his heart.

Someone blew the torch light up, lit the torch, and the wind whizzed past the cliff, and the prince finally saw the people who came.

The figure in the black robe seemed to be completely integrated into the darkness, with only a handsome face like a sword, staring at him coldly.

"Yu Lieyang, you are finally here."

At the moment when he saw King Xu, the prince's heart calmed down. The escape day and night has made him exhausted. When he saw King Xu, the first thought in his mind turned out to be: He never has to run away. Up.

Wang Xu took the secret guards and took a step closer to him, shrinking the encircling circle tighter.

"You should go now."

The prince smiled bitterly and took a few steps forward: "Well, you take me to see the father, and I will personally plead with him."

In the darkness, Wang Xu looked at him quietly, but did not answer his words.

An unknown premonition suddenly rose in the prince's heart. He suddenly increased his tone and said: "Why, don't you dare?"

Under the fire, King Xu's eyes were piercing, and he looked at the prince steadily.

"You are not qualified."

Hearing these extremely cold words, the prince's legs suddenly softened.

He is not qualified?

What does King Xu's words mean, do they mean that he is not qualified to see the emperor again, or is he not qualified to live anymore?

Wang Xu shook the edict in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor has a purpose. Anyone who sees the dead prince and his party will be killed!"

The feeling of weakness in the prince's legs became more pronounced, making him almost unable to stand, and he had to squat on the ground, barely supporting his body.

"Impossible...impossible! It must be you who preached the imperial decree! Father cannot kill me! This is absolutely impossible!"

Looking condescendingly at the prince’s desperate and horrified face, King Xu said coldly: "You are no longer the prince, and the father no longer recognizes you as his son. Your current identity is just a chaos and a rebel. Thieves, everyone gets punishable!"

The prince collapsed on the ground with a face full of disbelief. How could it be possible that the father loved him so much, how could he be ordered to kill him! ?

He never thought that he would have such a day. He never thought that he would fail, and he never thought that he would die after failure. He is the prince, the eldest son of the emperor, and the benevolence that the people have said for many years. Prince Germany, his future should be soaring into the sky, going straight into the sky, how could he die here! ?

Looking up at King Xu, who was approaching him, the prince’s voice made a deep begging: "Nine brothers... You take me to see the father, I don’t want to die... You’ve always been kind, you won’t Kill me, right?"

He sent people to assassinate King Xu so many times without any resistance. This time his life fell in the hands of King Xu, and King Xu would definitely spare him!

Looking down at the crown prince’s face with a trace of hope, King Xu said coldly: “I’m just too kind to let you assassinate me again and again, and now I still have a delicate life! "

His voice echoed on the edge of the cliff, with echoes: "You said, how could I let you go?!"

The prince shook his head desperately, and said in pity: "Ninth brother, I promise, as long as you let me go, I will not harm you again! Look at me now, how could there be a chance to harm you? Please forgive me, you treat me as a dog, please raise your hand!"

The big hand of King Xu suddenly clenched, and angrily said: "Yu Liehua! You are the prince, even if you die, you should have a little dignity! Look at what you look like now!? I really lost my father. Face!"

I didn't seem to hear King Xu's scolding, and the prince cried desperately: "I don't want to die! I won't die! The Taoist master said that my fate is the nine-five-year-old, and I will become the emperor!"

With his sharp hissing, Daoist Jingming walked out from behind King Xu and walked in front of the prince.

Seeing Dao Master Jing Ming, the prince's howling stopped abruptly. He pointed his finger at Dao Master Jing Ming, his face was incredulous: "You...you... are you in a group with him?" "

Dao Jingming smiled slightly, gave a gift to the prince, and said: "Pan Dao forgot to tell His Royal Highness. The popular name of Pang Dao Wang Jing is the personal guard of Lord Xu."

Wang Jing?

Hearing this familiar name, the prince thundered.

Wang Jing, Wang Jing! He was one of the guards who followed King Xu to Shangyuan Kingdom, and he was the most loyal person to King Xu!

Hands clenched into fists, the prince looked up to the sky and smiled: "Ha, ha ha! Heaven is going to kill me, no matter what, no matter what!"

After all, the prince actually got up from the ground, rushed straight through the crowd, and plunged into the cliff!

No one was surprised that he was struggling to survive the moment before, but he chose to commit suicide the next moment. King Xu knows the prince too well. In this life, the prince is arrogant and brilliant, but he has calculated the hearts of most of his life, but in the end he can't see the person he trusts most.

The true identity of Taoist Jingming is tantamount to the last straw, crushing the prince and completely destroying his spiritual support.

A scream from a distance came from the bottom of the mountain, and finally disappeared into the endless darkness, leaving only a lingering sound.

Looking at the dark night sky, King Xu said in a deep voice: "Go back and start playing the emperor, and the prince will kill himself in fear of sin, and fall off the cliff with no bones left."

Turning around and walking down the cliff, King Xu only felt relaxed for a while. This long-lasting decisive battle was finally over.

At this moment, he has only one feeling, and that is to go home like an arrow.

The matter is over, it's time for him to go home.

Home is such a warm word. It not only represents the warm and bright room, the exquisite and delicious meals, but also represents that there is a person waiting for himself in a permanent and unchanging posture.

He knows that no matter what happens, she will always be waiting for him, waiting for him to come home.

[Ending]

On an isolated island in the East China Sea, the water is clear and white, the water is green and the mountains are green, and the woods are full of the chirping sounds of birds, and the fresh sea breeze is gently blowing in and blowing. Thousands of flowers are blooming, and falling flowers are colorful.

Yu Linglong is dressed in a peach blossom cloud misty shirt, sitting on a swing gently swaying, the gold-inlaid Dongzhu earrings on the sideburns trembling with the swing of the swing, making her water eyes particularly agile .

Looking at the huge house in front of him, Yu Linglong's mouth smiled slightly: "When did you arrange it? I don't even know."

Wang Xu stretched out his hand to push the swing, and smiled: "Naturally can't let you know, otherwise, how would you come?"

Yu Linglong couldn't help pursing her pink lips, her delicate eyebrows and her eyes could not hide a smile: "I thought you were really just going to take me to see the sea on a big boat. I didn't expect to come to this place. ."

This is really a big surprise. After staying for a few days, she was completely fascinated by the beautiful scenery here and never wanted to leave.

Stopping the swing, King Xu gently hugged her from behind, and whispered in her ear: "How do you like it?"

Yu Linglong closed her eyes, feeling the warm feeling of the bright sun falling on her face, and said softly: "It would be nice if I could live here for the rest of my life."

Xu Wang chuckled and hugged her from the swing: "If you like it, then you will live here for the rest of your life."

Fenquan lightly punched the shoulder of King Xu, and Yu Linglong smiled and said, "How is it possible? Could it be that you just let go of things in the capital like this?"

Putting her on a cool stone bench, King Xu said: "You don't know yet, the father has already appointed the fifth brother as the prince."

Yu Linglong was startled and couldn't help but blurt out and asked: "Why isn't it you?"

Wang Xu smiled faintly: "Because I don't want to be an emperor, I just want to be with you."

Holding her soft waist, he gently pressed her forehead: "Being an emperor will have a lot of unfreedom, and you will have to be a concubine... I promised you that you won't be a little wronged ."

Yu Linglong's heart seemed to be immersed in hot water, and it became soft and warm. She hugged King Xu with her backhand, leaned on his shoulders, and said softly: "Okay, you don't become an emperor, neither will I To be queens, we will live our fairy life on this island."

Under the flower tree, the two leaned on each other, in front of the boundless blue water, the fragrant petals were scattered on the stone tables and chairs, and on their shoulders. The lapels of their clothes were as beautiful as pictures. .

Plain, warm, happy, beautiful, this is the life they want.
