Chapter 230: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

ps: Today's fourth update, can you ask for a reward to book all. I originally wanted to write Kun Xing as a serious injury, but after thinking about it, forget it, if you abuse it again, someone should abandon the book!

Princess Kunxing closed her eyes, waiting for the sword to arrive, but she couldn't help but have an angular smile in her mind, if there is an afterlife, I will not be a princess again!

A cold wind hit his neck, and then he heard a "ding" sound, Kun Xing felt a chill in his waist and abdomen, opened his eyes to look, and saw a sword inserted in his waist and abdomen, but the hilt of the sword was not in his father's hand.

When I looked up, I saw a man rushing in with a roar and pushing his father to the ground.

"Chen Yue!" Kun Xing suddenly became excited, and an excited smile appeared on his face.

"Kunxing!" Chen Yue took Kun Xing in his arms and looked at the sword stuck in her waist and abdomen in horror. It's still too late!

Ignoring Li Banghua's questioning, Chen Yue walked briskly in the palace, he wanted to find Princess Kunxing's bedroom and escape from the palace with her. But the inner palace is so big, where can he easily find it if he is not familiar with the terrain?

When Chen Yue grabbed a little palace maid and forced Kunxing's palace to ask, Li Banghua finally understood Chen Yue's purpose, and couldn't help but stand up his beard in anger, pointing at Chen Yue's nose and scolding.

He thought that Chen Yue entered the palace to save the emperor, but he didn't expect that in order to save Princess Kunxing, when would he still think about his children's personal affairs, Li Banghua felt that he was blind.

Unwilling to follow Chen Yue anymore, Li Banghua turned around and left, heading towards the Qianqing Palace.

From the little palace maid forced out of Kunxing's residence Shouning Palace, Chen Yue ran over quickly, and the moment he ran into the palace door, he saw Chongzhen swinging the sword in his hand at Kunxing, and in shock, he pulled out his crossbow and raised his hand to shoot, and the crossbow arrow was nailed to the spine of the falling sword, and the huge impact made Chongzhen unable to hold the hilt, and the sword fell down with the arrow, but he didn't expect to hurt Kunxing.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt much!" Kun Xing lay in Chen Yue's arms and said weakly, but his voice was full of happiness.

When Chen Yue trembled and looked at the sword, he was surprised to see that there was not much blood flowing out, and when he looked closely, he saw that the sword pierced Kun Xing's clothes, and the tip was stuck in the ground, but it didn't really hurt Kun Xing.

"Hahaha...... Chen Yue laughed, grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out, "It's okay, it's okay, it's not hurt." As he spoke, he helped Kun Xing up.

Seeing that he was not pierced by the sword, Kun Xing couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed, and then found that his father was sitting on the ground, looking at himself and Chen Yue blankly.

"Yikes!" Kun Xing exclaimed and hurriedly stepped forward to help Chongzhen.

"Hello, you're good!" Chongzhen sat on the ground and said to Chen Yue coldly, and was pushed to the ground by the courtiers, making him feel extremely humiliated.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, when I saw that you were going to kill Princess Kunxing, I couldn't help but make a move. Besides, tiger venom still doesn't eat children, how can you bear to attack your own daughter! Chen Yue held back his anger and asked, if he was one step late, maybe Kun Xing would have lost his fragrance.

"If I don't kill her, will I let her be humiliated by the thieves? She is the daughter of the emperor, so she naturally wants to use death to maintain the royal face! Thinking of the dead queen concubine, as well as the young Princess Zhaoren, Chongzhen suddenly became angry.

"Are you Chen Yue still not my courtier? If so, pick up your sword and kill Kun Xing and I! When the Ming Dynasty is dead, let me and my daughter be martyred for it! ”

Looking at Chongzhen, who was in a frenzy, Chen Yue could only shake his head helplessly.

"I won't kill the princess, and I won't kill you. Besides, the Ming Dynasty may not die! Chen Yue could see that Chongzhen had already saved his will to die, so he could only say it with good words.

"The Ming Dynasty will not die, of course it will not die, even if I die, my son will be able to escape from Beijing and go to Nanjing to ascend the throne. He will bring his soldiers north to avenge me! Chongzhen laughed.

"Your Majesty, there are thousands of elite soldiers outside the palace, who can protect you and the princess from the encirclement!" Time was urgent, Chen Yue didn't want to take any more mushrooms, and yelled at Chongzhen.

"Ahh Chongzhen was taken aback by Chen Yue, and then his consciousness recovered, "You said that you still have thousands of elite soldiers outside the palace!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, when the minister came, he brought 3,000 elite soldiers, of which 1,500 cavalry were guarding outside the Daming Gate, and he would definitely be able to take Your Majesty out of Beijing." Although he knew that it was very difficult to rescue Chongzhen, Chen Yue couldn't help but try, this is a gamble, if he wins the bet and can escape from Beijing safely, his future will be bright from now on, and he has made such a great contribution, and Kunxing's affairs will be barrier-free.

Although hundreds of thousands of troops are now besieging the city, the city is extremely broken at the moment, and the situation is the most chaotic, and it is not impossible for him to escape with elite cavalry.

Listening to Chen Yue's confident words, Chongzhen was like a drowning man grasping the last straw, although he had the will to die, but it was only a helpless choice under despair. If he can escape from Beijing and make a comeback, he naturally doesn't want to let it go easily!

"You, are you sure?" Chongzhen asked with a trembling voice.

"Hundreds of thousands of enemy troops are besieging the city, and it is certainly impossible to say that there is complete certainty. I know that Your Majesty has already made a will to die, and if you fail, you will continue to seek death. Chen Yue's words were so choked that Chongzhen choked. When has it been, and it is still so inked!

"Let's go!" Chongzhen stomped his foot and took the lead to walk outside, Wang Chengen following closely behind him.

Chen Yue followed behind with Kun Xing.

"Wait, we're going to save the queen mother!" Kun Xing shouted eagerly.

"Don't say it, let's go!" Chongzhen paused, and continued to walk forward without looking back.

"Princess, queen, she's already ......" Wang Chengen's eyes were red, and he choked up and couldn't speak.

Kun Xing suddenly understood, and two lines of tears rolled down from his snow-white cheeks.

The group walked into the Qianqing Palace, and saw Li Banghua sitting outside the palace gate in tears, and when he saw Chongzhen coming, Li Banghua got up in surprise and knelt to give Chongzhen a salute.

"Get out of the palace quickly, don't be polite!" Chongzhen said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, we can't just run away like this!" Chen Yue suddenly stopped.

"How?" Chongzhen looked at Chen Yue suspiciously.

"If we flee like this, the thieves will inevitably search the city and send a large number of pursuers. So Your Majesty, someone has to fake your death for you, thinking that the golden cicada is a plan to get out of its shell. In this way, even if we escape, the thieves will never care about a small army that escapes. Chen Yue said.

"Great idea!" Li Banghua was overjoyed and exclaimed.

"But, who can fake my death, and where can I find a suitable stand-in?" Chongzhen understood and frowned.

"Your Majesty, when the country was broken, you were heartbroken and intended to die to martyr the Ming Dynasty, so you set yourself on fire in the dormitory. So all it takes is a man's corpse! ”

"But how can the thieves identify the dead as me?" Chongzhen asked suspiciously.

"It's very simple, there is only one man in this inner palace, even if the body is charred, you can guess from the male characteristics that it is you, if there is another personal person to die with, the thief will no longer suspect it." Chen Yue said, looking at Wang Chengen.

"The old minister is willing to die for His Majesty!" Li Banghua took off his official uniform as he spoke, "Please take off your dragon robe and change into ordinary clothes." ”

"Old slave, old slave is willing to hang himself in front of the Qianqing Palace!" Wang Chengen hesitated, knelt on the ground and said resolutely.

"Okay, good ......" Chongzhen's voice choked and he could barely speak, looking at his loyal courtiers and servants.

Li Banghua put on Chongzhen's dragon robe, climbed on the dragon boots, and resolutely walked towards the palace.

"Chen Yue, can you think of another way?" Looking at the aged Li Banghua, Princess Kunxing pulled Chen Yue's shirt and begged.

"The Ming will remember their sacrifices." Chen Yue shook his head, it's not that he is ruthless, he really can't think of a good way, only in this way can he divert the thief's idea, if the thief knows that he saved Chongzhen, it will not be so easy to leave.

A white silk hung on the beam in the hall, Wang Chengen finally kowtowed to Chongzhen, resolutely got up, stood on the stool, stretched his neck into the white silk, and gently kicked the wooden stool under his feet, and the whole person hung on the white silk.

A flame kindled lightly, and ignited the tent in the temple, and the flames burned rapidly, sweeping the dragon bed into it. In the midst of the raging flames, an old figure laughed.
