Uncle Nine

Chapter 262 You Are Crazy, She Is Just A Child
Shen Xing froze on the spot in astonishment.

"Who is it?" Shen Hao sternly shouted, "Come—" Before he could yell out, he saw the leader man in black with a knife in his hand.The moment the blood splashed, Shen Hao fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Long bloodstains ran across the entire face, and the face was covered with blood.

With his eyes open, he lay there in a state of unrepentant death.

I have done too many evil things for others, and now I am dead, and I don't know whose hands I died in.

"Brother!" Shen Xing shouted heart-piercingly.

Looking up, he saw that Xu Fu was also hacked to the ground with a knife.

She looked at the man in black who was approaching in horror, and the iron chain around her waist made it impossible for her to move and escape.She thought, maybe it was her brother's retribution, so she and her younger sister would all die under someone else's knife.

After all, it is owed, and the sins done still need to be repaid.

"Who are you? Who are you? Help—" She widened her eyes in horror, only felt a chill on the back of her neck, and lost consciousness.The man in black covered her mouth and nose with a veil, perhaps giving her some medicine to make her fall asleep in the shortest possible time.

Shen Hao had the key of the iron chain on his body, took out the key, and untied the iron chain tied around Shen Xing's waist.

Before the guards of the Shen residence arrived, the man in black led Shen Xing and disappeared into the night.

That shrill cry startled the birds in the capital, there were countless jackdaws, and their shrill voices were heard.

The death of a senior official of the third rank in Beijing died in his own mansion. Naturally, this matter soon fell on the head of the mansion. Rumors were spread overnight, and people in the capital were panicked.However, Ye Guangyao was already preparing to lead troops into the city, and Xie Yun stationed tens of thousands of Xie's troops outside the city, so these things can only be regarded as insignificant things compared with the affairs of the world.

Royal Palace.

"Your majesty?" Shunzi entered the imperial study, screaming, "The big thing is not good, then, that General Ye Guangyao was about to lead his troops into the city, but was blocked by the guards, seeing that the guards were about to fail." The city gate is closed, look at this—"

Zhao Lu was sitting on the dragon chair, discussing with Liang Yiru.

Hearing these words, he immediately jumped up, "What are you talking about? Ye Guangyao? Is he planning to rebel?"

Shunzi knelt there, trembling all over, "Your Majesty, the city gate is about to lose its hold. Ye Guangyao has already fought with the guards, and he is about to enter the city. Your Majesty, please order the reinforcements to rush to the city gate." Stop it!"

Liang Yiru frowned, "Ye Guangyao has turned his back."

"Where's Xie Yun?" Zhao Lu asked.

Shunzi almost cried, "The Xie family's army is stationed outside the city, not moving at all. If it's not watching, it's—" The word accomplice doesn't dare to talk nonsense, Shunzi is just a eunuch, although he grew up with the emperor, but He didn't dare to mention the word "rebellion" casually, otherwise he would be beheaded.

"Your Majesty, let's go and have a look!" Liang Yiru said, "I'm afraid that Ye Guangyao has conspired with King Mao, so it's no wonder that the foreign ministers wait and see. Since ancient times, success in kings and defeat in the past is only a blink of an eye. "

Zhao Lu got up and went out, but just halfway there, he heard Guo Sheng's sad news.

"Your Majesty!" Guo Sheng knelt in front of Zhao Lu, "The Prince Regent's Mansion raised troops to encircle the palace. Now the sharpshooters have surrounded the palace. The square gate will be captured soon. Please move quickly to a safe place. Stay away."

"What did you say?" Zhao Lu gritted his teeth, "You let me move? I am the emperor, and there are disorderly officials and thieves outside, how can I be afraid of them."

"Your Majesty, safety comes first, dragon body comes first." Shunzi cried.

Zhao Lu walked forward with a flick of his sleeves, "I want to see what kind of face these two are. They all covet my dragon chair, who has the ability to sit on it." He then went to the gate of the palace to take a look What kind of face is this Dongfang Xu, and what kind of face is this King Mao Zhao Yu using to face the ancestors of the Zhao family.

Ye Guangyao rebelled, Mao Wang Zhao Yu cooperated with the outside, let his hidden guards open the city gate, and let Ye Guangyao's army enter the city.

Dongfang Xu was dressed in a white robe, riding a tall horse and standing under the palace gate. The sharpshooter held a bow and crossbow, and the guards were beaten to pieces with random arrows.The moment the city gate opened, Dongfang Xu rode his horse into the palace and ordered the sharpshooters to guard the four sides of the palace gate to prevent Ye Guangyao from attacking.

"Dongfang Xu!" Before Zhao Lu arrived at the gate of the palace, Dongfang Xu was already standing at the entrance of the palace.

Behind him, the Archers held bows and crossbows, and their cold arrows aimed at Zhao Lu and the others.

"Long live the emperor." Dongfang Xu smiled gently, followed by a big salute, "Report to the emperor, Mao Wang Zhao Yu rebelled, and my father disappeared and never returned. The only way to resist is the grass-roots army led by the grass-roots. Please rest assured, the grass-people will definitely He will protect the emperor Zhou Quan, and will never be called a traitor or a thief, and will not hurt the emperor at all."

"Break into the palace by yourself and shoot and kill my guards, isn't it considered a traitor?" Zhao Lu said coldly.

Dongfang Xu stood up with a smile, "The grassroots had no choice but to make such a bad plan. These dead bodyguards should be considered to be loyal to the emperor in advance." After speaking, he walked forward slowly, his white robe was not at all The color of blood.The scholar is dressed in white, with a gentle smile in the haze.It was clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing, yet it made people feel the urge to let their guard down.

He smiled so harmlessly, with such sincerity, it was very easy for people to ignore the evil intentions buried under the excellent skin.

"Stop!" Liang Yiru shouted, "Don't be rude to the emperor."

Dongfang Xu nodded, "That's natural, the emperor is the emperor after all, how dare the grassroots go beyond the rules. It's just that the war is about to start, and Ye Guangyao's army is about to surround the palace. Please wait at the gate of the palace. Let's teach Mao Wang a lesson." See the emperor's demeanor."

"You!" Guo Sheng gritted his teeth.

Zhao Lu looked coldly at the sharpshooter behind Dongfang Xu, the cold arrows were on the string.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Lu said, "Shunzi, go to Ci'an Palace and let the guards protect the Queen Mother."

"Your Majesty, I would like to go with you." Liang Yiru saluted.

"Zunzuo." Zhao Lu walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

On the high gate of the palace, looking at the thick smoke billowing not far away, it is the smoke of gunpowder coming from horses.The dust was flying up, indicating that the world of Dayan was shaken, and the dispute between the court and court finally broke out.

16 years of peace, in exchange for today's fighting and massacre.

The baptism of blood will make the brilliance of Dayan Dynasty even more unstoppable.

Ye Guangyao led the army. Zhao Yu sat on his horse and looked up at Zhao Lu who was standing on the palace wall with cold eyes. "My lord, I have been waiting for a long time. I came to the Qing emperor's side, and King Qin rescued him."

"Is that how the emperor rescued you?" Zhao Lu sneered, "I didn't let anyone come to rescue you." After speaking, he glanced at Dongfang Xu beside him. The fish and meat can only be slaughtered.

"Dongfang Xu, you are so brave, you dare to rebel." Zhao Yu scolded, "Hurry up and let the emperor go."

Dongfang Xu smiled, and his white robe fluttered, "Prince Mao can really beat you up. It is clear that you rebelled first, so why do you want to blame me instead? I killed the guards at the gate of the imperial city? Or, today? I, Dongfang Xu, personally dispatched this Ye family army? Lord Mao, are you a three-year-old child when you become emperor?"

Sun Qi clenched the cold sword in his hand, and glanced at Ye Guangyao behind him. Ye Guangyao raised his hand, and the Ye family army immediately surrounded the entire palace.It's just that they didn't dare to act rashly. After all, the emperor is still in the hands of Dongfang Xu, and the power of the Shenshe Army cannot be underestimated.The Shenjian Army hit a hundred shots and hit a hundred shots, and Ye Guangyao didn't want to lose so many manpower in vain.

Coupled with Xie Yun guarding outside the city, even with the help of various forces, it is impossible to get the news so quickly and come to rescue him.So Zhao Yu still has time, the key is that on the other side of Daizhou, Utopia has not yet captured Daizhou.

Waiting for Utopia to capture Daizhou and drive straight in, it won't be too late to break into the palace by myself.

"Dongfang Xu, this king will give you a day to think about it, let the emperor go quickly, and surrender. You'd better think clearly, fighting against this king will only lead to death." Zhao Yu sternly shouted.

Dongfang Xu bowed to Zhao Lu, "Your Majesty, this way please."

Zhao Lu walked away, and the Shenjian Army took control of the entire palace, and the outside of Qianning Palace was heavily defended.

The resplendent and resplendent Golden Temple was empty.

Dressed in white, Dongfang Xu climbed up the steps and walked slowly towards the Golden Palace.One step at a time, three steps at a time, this is a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and it is the path that every emperor must walk.High above, the world is respected.

He has no official rank, no title, so it is impossible for him to get into the Golden Luan Hall.

He has never been able to understand, since Dongfang Yue wants to train him, why is he still unwilling to give him an official position?Is it because you feel incompetent?Or is he just a sword?

A murderous sword, regardless of name, does not need a higher status.

Standing in the empty golden palace, the jade pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes towered majestically. He walked forward slowly and gently touched the dragon patterns on the jade pillars.The lifelike dragon pattern seems to herald his upcoming leaping life.

Taking a deep breath, Dongfang Xu raised his eyes to look at the high red gold dragon chair, which is exclusive to the emperor.

The jade bridge climbs up the steps, and the dragon chair is close at hand.

In the past, he had to live on his back, but now he is only one step away from the dragon chair.

Fate is ridiculous.

"You want to be emperor that much?" Liang Yiru stood outside the Golden Palace, looking straight at him coldly.

Dongfang Xu stood on the jade bridge, slowly turned around and looked at Liang Yiru in front of him, smiling as gently as ever, "Who doesn't want to be the emperor? The emperor is the lord of the world, he can do whatever he wants, and he can have whatever he wants, isn't it? okay?"

"That's just the common people's foolish opinion. Why do you even think so?" Liang Yiru stepped forward, "Do you know what you need to do to be a good emperor? He reviews the papers day and night, does everything personally, and takes the world as his own responsibility. The people are the sky. Have you achieved it? If you can’t do it, do you still expect to be able to sit on the dragon chair and be the master of the world?"

Dongfang Xu's eyes were slightly cold, "You know a lot, but unfortunately, you are about to die."

"A scholar should die for his confidant, be loyal to the emperor, and do his best for the people. This is the way of a courtier. Unfortunately, you can't be a king, and you can't be a courtier. This is why you don't even have an official title until now. Dongfang The sooner I saw your ambition, so I don't want you to come into contact with the court at all." Liang Yiru sneered, "Compared to Dongfang Yue, you are really far behind. As far as facts are concerned, you are not as good as him at all."

"Hmph, so what? In the end, isn't he crazy and has nothing?" Dongfang Xu dismissed it.

Liang Yiru smiled wryly, "Did he make you, or you made him? It's hard for anyone to say until it comes to fruition." He glanced at the empty Golden Palace, "Dongfang Xu, you should actually feel sad for yourself , you didn’t realize that you didn’t get what you wanted in the end? Do you know why?”

Dongfang Xu's eyes were ruthless, and he thought of Xia Yu who had gone far away in his mind. He suddenly flew in front of Liang Yiru, and grabbed Liang Yiru's neck with his hand, "Do you know Xia Yu's whereabouts?"

"I don't know." Liang Yiru didn't hide or dodge.

With a slight force on the hand on the neck, Liang Yiru began to suffocate.

But Liang Yiru never said anything else, and Dongfang Xu had nothing to do with him.

"You can kill me, but if you don't know, you don't know." Liang Yiru panted, clutching his aching neck.

Dongfang Xu narrowed his dangerous eyes, "You want to die for her, but you don't weigh yourself. Besides, are you worthy? Is it worth it? There is Zhao Shuo by her side, so what do you think of yourself compared to Zhao Shuo? "

Liang Yiru sneered, "Then you know that you are compared with Prince Rui, so what? Prince Rui can fight to the death for her, can you give up the country for her, can you? This is the reason why you can only die alone in the end. Because you only have yourself in your eyes, and you are so selfish that you can’t tolerate anyone’s existence. Moreover, you can’t afford it and you can’t afford it. You’re afraid of losing, afraid of having nothing.”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Dongfang Xu gritted his teeth.

"Haven't you heard a saying? No fear is strong, the benevolent is invincible." Liang Yiru let out a long breath, turned and left.

"The benevolent is invincible?" Dongfang Xu suddenly smiled, with a sarcasm, "Liang Yiru, let me see what your so-called benevolent invincible looks like."

Outside the Jinluan Hall, Guan Yun threw a sack on the ground, there were signs of wriggling inside, and there was a low-pitched whimpering sound, probably a person.

Liang Yiru paused, frowning and staring at the sack.He thought secretly in his heart: Dongfang Xu is not a casual person, so he must have something to think about.Turning his head to look at Dongfang Xu, feeling faintly uneasy.

"Liang Yiru, didn't you say that the benevolent is invincible? Then let me ask you, is knowing kindness and repaying it counted as benevolence?" Dongfang Xu walked slowly to the sack.

"What do you want to say?" Liang Yiru took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Yun Guan quickly opened the sack, and Shen Xing, who was tied up in a big way, appeared in the sack with a few bruises on his face, probably from a bump.Shen Xing's mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth, so he couldn't make a sound at all.

"Shen Xing?" Liang Yiru was about to go over, but Guan Yun grabbed Shen Xing's throat with three fingers.

"Don't come here." Dongfang Xu said slowly, with a jade-like face and a gentle smile, "I was afraid that if I was not careful, I would strangle her to death."

"You're crazy, she's just a child." Liang Yiru scolded coldly.

Dongfang Xu looked at him innocently, "Child? Once a war breaks out, who cares about the old, the weak, women and children. Children are the same, they must die as individuals." He sighed softly and got up, "Liang Yiru, you owe me a favor."

Liang Yiru frowned puzzled.

"I avenged you and killed Shen Hao. Isn't this a kindness?" Dongfang Xu smiled, "You have been in Daizhou for so long, and he chased and killed you all the way, shouldn't he deserve to die?"

Liang Yiru looked at Shen Xing who was in tears, "Shen Hao can't live for his own crimes, he really deserves to die, but the state owns the state law, he is a third-rank official anyway, it's not your turn to lynch. What is Shen Xing doing? You let her go, she is just a child, and has nothing to do with us, the world or anything."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Liang Shaofu's thinking is too simple." Dongfang Xu's well-manicured fingertips slowly slid across Shen Xing's delicate cheeks, making Shen Xing's tears fall even more.Dongfang Xu said with a smile, "Shen Hao is corrupt, perverts the law, plots wrongdoing, and wants to join forces with King Mao, which is really treasonous. If the emperor blames him, he won't have enough heads to lose."

He looked at Liang Yiru with a slight smile, "You don't know what Zhulian Jiuzu is? King Mao conspired against him, and Shen Hao followed, which is undoubtedly a capital crime. Then this girl should also belong to the Nine Clans, and she will also be a member of the Nine Clans at that time." Death. Since it is the same to die sooner or later, there is no difference in death now."

"Wait!" Liang Yiru shouted, "You let her go, you can do whatever you want."

Dongfang Xu chuckled twice, "Shaofu Liang really has a kind heart, but I forgot, if it wasn't for this girl, you would have died several times. After all, she is also your savior."

Liang Yiru nodded, "That's right, she is kind to me, she is my savior, and I can't leave her alone. Dongfang Xu, what are you going to do? Tell me straight, don't threaten me with Shen Xing again."

"It's very simple, one life for one life." Dongfang Xu glanced at the carved dragon on the jade pillar with a smile, and suddenly broke off the dragon's claws, his eyes were ruthless, "I give you two choices, either she dies, or The emperor is dead."

"What did you say?" Liang Yiru's eyes widened, "You want me to kill the king?"

Shen Xing kept shaking her head, her tears dripped down, she didn't know what it meant.If you kill the emperor, then no one will be able to live. Shen Xing still understands such a simple truth.

She wanted to struggle, but she was so weak and tied up that she couldn't move at all.

"The emperor trusts you, so it's easy for you to do it." Dongfang Xu smiled, "Or, you can make yourself bigger and sacrifice this little girl. Anyway, it's all human life, and it's the same if you change your life. "

Liang Yiru looked at Shen Xing in disbelief, one was the emperor, the other was his savior, Shen Xing was so kind, how could he bear to take Shen Xing's life.Without Shen Xing, Liang Yiru would have died long ago.

It was Shen Xing who ran to Prince Rui's mansion to ask for help that Liang Yiru is today.

People can't forget their roots, and the kindness of dripping water should be repaid by springs, let alone the kindness of saving lives.

In the sleeves, five fingers curled into fists.

Looking up, it was Dongfang Xu's indifferent smile.

"Let me think about it." Liang Yiru stared at the tearful Shen Xing.

"Okay, you must give me the answer before sunset." Dongfang Xu nodded, "You go back to the emperor first, this girl will be fine in my hands for the time being. If you dare to betray me, tell the emperor about it, this girl will die Undoubtedly. And, he will die a terrible death."

Liang Yiru walked towards Shen Xing slowly, of course he knew that he was incapable of taking her away.Dongfang Xu's martial arts skills are extremely high, and Liang Yiru is completely incapable of saving Shen Xing.

With a soft sigh, he tore off the cloth from Shen Xing's mouth, and Liang Yiru wiped away Shen Xing's tears with a wry smile, "Don't worry, brother Liang won't leave you alone. If your sister Xia knew, she would definitely try her best to save you, but she -"

Shen Xing shook his head and cried even more fiercely, "Brother Liang, leave me alone. My brother is dead. Even if I survive, I don't know what else to do. Brother Liang, you can't kill the emperor. After the emperor is dead, you and Xia My sister will be implicated. Leave me alone and don't be used by him."

Liang Yiru smiled and nodded, stroking Shen Xing's bangs, "It's okay, brother Liang knows it himself, don't give up, brother Liang won't give up on you either. Do you understand?"

"Brother Liang." Shen Xing lowered his eyes and burst into tears.

"Silly girl, it's okay." Liang Yiru whispered softly, "With Brother Liang here, nothing will happen. You forgot, your sister Xia is very capable, and your brother Liang and sister Xia are brothers, so naturally they will not be inferior to you. She. Don't you think so?"

Shen Xing nodded fiercely.

"I'll think it over carefully, and I'll give you the answer before sunset." Liang Yiru got up, glanced at Shen Xing, and then walked out in strides.

It's great that Xia Yu left, otherwise Liang Yiru would definitely agree if Xia Yu fell into Dongfang Xu's hands.Not to mention the emperor, even the heavenly king Laozi, he would not hesitate.

With a wry smile and walking down the steps in front of the Jinluan Hall, Liang Yiru looked up at the sky, feeling a little disturbed.

How to save Shen Xing?

It is absolutely impossible to kill the emperor.

But watching Shen Xing die, he absolutely couldn't do it.

Walking slowly in the palace full of marksmen, Liang Yiru suddenly felt very helpless.There is absolutely nothing to say about the emperor, Dongfang Xu is a man of his word, and he is cruel and ruthless, and he was taught by Dongfang Yue.Since ancient times, the emperor has been suspicious. Even if Liang Yiru treated each other honestly, he would inevitably attract suspicion. Not only would he not be able to save Shen Xing, but he might even be in danger.

How can this be good?

Taking a deep breath, Liang Yiru sat under the rockery in the Imperial Garden, sitting quietly, not knowing where to start.It would be great if Xia Yu was here at this time.This girl Xia Yu is used to being quick-witted, so she must be able to come up with a good solution.

It's a pity - now I don't know where I went.

He took out the letter from his waist, pinched it in his palm and stroked it gently with his fingertips, as if there was still a breath that belonged to her.

"I met a difficulty, but I didn't dare to tell the emperor, so I thought of her, didn't I?" A clear and low voice came from behind the rockery.

Liang Yiru stood up suddenly, his brows were dull, "Who? Who's there?"

After the sound fell, he quietly put the letter in his hand into his sleeve.

There were small footsteps coming from behind the rockery, accompanied by the slight impact of the armor on his body, shaking step by step.When he came into Liang Yiru's sight, Liang Yiru was stunned, "Why are you?"

"Why can't it be me?" She smiled.

Hearing this, Liang Yiru suddenly lowered his head and smiled, "Fortunately it's you."

Yes, luckily.

In his sleeve, he clenched the letter even more tightly, feeling a little cold in his heart: Fortunately, I have you.

With a sigh, Fang Ying quickly entered the Buddhist hall, "Empress Dowager, something serious has happened. King Mao rebelled and surrounded the palace, and the Prince Regent's Palace has already controlled the entire palace. Now the two armies are facing each other, and the war is imminent."

Opening his eyes quickly, the wooden fish in his hand stopped, and the Empress Dowager Bao Yao lowered her eyes slightly, "King Mao Zhao Yu?"
