Chapter 708 Fate

The sun was setting in the west, and sunlight poured into the imperial study through the open window. Shining on the rice paper on the desk, a line of words was written in thick ink on the rice paper, which was quite sloppy, but the pen was extremely powerful.

With the heart of awe, with a cowardly state of show, with the will of self-improvement to train the body, not moving like a mountain, moving like thunder, with a positive fit, to win.

This line makes perfect sense, but there is another sentence that takes a sharp turn for the worse.

This is how it should be in the next life.

This is how it should be in the next life!

Reading between the lines is despair and desolation.

Emperor Li Chengde, who had written this line, sat on the chair dejectedly, looking at the slanting sun outside the window in a daze. Outside the window, there was suddenly a row of blue-shirted swordsmen in the morning, standing motionless outside like nails. With his back to the direction of the imperial study, the hilt of the knife reflected one after another in the slanting sun.

I don't know how long he sat there, Li Chengde tore the rice paper into pieces, then stood up, carefully sorted out his clothes, and walked out slowly.

"Miki, I'm going to ask to see His Royal Highness King Yan."

"Your Majesty......"

Miki, the eunuch of the imperial study standing at the door of the imperial study, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you can't go today. ”

"Why?"

Li Chengde asked.

"I heard that there are many rebels in the city today who colluded with the traitor Li Shimin's assassins and infiltrated the Tiance General's Mansion to try to assassinate His Royal Highness King Yan. It is said that there were also assassins who had entered the Imperial City, and the people of the Military Inspectorate had already placed martial law in the Imperial City...... Your Majesty, you have also seen that there are many elites of His Royal Highness King Yan's personal sword guard camp outside, and these people were specially transferred by King Yan to protect Your Highness. ”

Li Chengde's face changed greatly, and he looked at Miki incredulously: "Why don't I know about such a big thing?" ”

He had always thought that the elite of the sword guard battalion outside was here to imprison him. Since the last time Emperor Li Yuan came to the imperial study, he had been panicking. Especially when King Yan came to tell him the emperor's intentions, he was a little more angry and unwilling in panic. He thought that he would be sanctioned by King Yan because of this, but he didn't expect that the appearance of the elite of the Sword Guard Battalion today was because of King Yan's assassination!

"Just now, Lord Nie Duo of the Sword Guard Battalion came, and after leaving the Sword Guard, he rushed to the Imperial City. It is said that the assassin's martial arts were so good that he actually injured His Royal Highness King Yan...... Moreover, it seems that he still wants to be rude to the emperor. ”

"I'm going to see King Yan!"

Li Chengde's heart moved, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "King Yan is the pillar of the Tang Dynasty, I don't feel at ease." ”

"Your Majesty, let's stay in the imperial study."

Miki hung his head and said, "King Yan is fine, but the assassin who assassinated the Emperor Taishang has still been caught, and it is said that some people have also infiltrated the palace...... It's not good for you to go out at this time. ”

"The Emperor...... Is there something going on? ”

"The slave doesn't know."

Miki raised his head and glanced at the emperor and said, "But it is said that it is the head of the military guard who personally led people into the imperial palace, and it has been half an hour. ”

"That's ......"

Li Chengde walked back to the desk and sat down, glanced at Miki and said, "You ask people to inquire more, if you catch it at this moment, if I go to the Tiance General's Mansion again, I will also go to the Imperial City to see the Emperor." ”

"The slave obeys."

Miki answered, turned to look in the direction of the imperial city, his eyes fluttering, and there was a trace of deep worry and uneasiness hidden in it. He didn't notice that the corners of Li Chengde's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was enduring something, and seemed to be frightened by something. His eyes wandered, and his fingers trembled slightly.

In front of the Imperial City Dormitory, the Yongdao is in the middle.

There stood a eunuch with a knife without a scabbard in his arms. The blade is bright and narrow, and the handle is decorated with a string of tassels, and this person's knife looks like a different kind of beauty under the slanting sun. Behind him, at the door of the dormitory, stood a row of more than two dozen warriors in silver armor, each holding a Mo sword in his hand.

"Slave maid please give the head of the stall a hello."

Ni Huatian leaned over slightly and said with a smile: "I don't know what the big stall is doing here?" ”

"Ask to see the Emperor."

Ye Huaisleeve replied lightly.

"It's really unfortunate, the Emperor Taishang is slightly unwell today, and he doesn't see any guests, please go back to the stall."

"You seem to be well-informed."

Ye Huaisleeve glanced at Ni Huatian, the corners of his mouth curled and said: "I only returned to the Military Inspectorate early this morning to act as the head of the big stall, you know so quickly, and ......"

Ye Huaichong pointed to the knife in Ni Huatian's arms, and then pointed to the two dozen silver-armored guards standing at the door of the dormitory: "It seems that your nose is also very smart, could it be that you smell something?" ”

"The smell of blood."

Ni Huatian nodded and said: "Although the Emperor Taishang lives here, I don't know how many people in the city are the courtiers of the Emperor, and it is really difficult to know about things outside Chang'an City, but how can things in Chang'an City be hidden?" What's more, the smell of blood today is too strong, no matter how high the palace wall is, it can't stop the smell, and as soon as you walk in...... The blood flowed down into the courtyard. ”

"You think you can stop me?"

Ye Huaisleeve said with a smile.

"I can't stop it for too long...... But unless you transfer troops, I can still stop these people from your military inspection department for a while. ”

"The Emperor is not in the house, is he?"

Ye Huaichong suddenly asked, and his tone changed slightly: "Do you want to drag me...... Is there a secret passage in the dormitory? ”

Ni Huatian's face changed, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "It's not good that women are too smart...... Gotta die! ”

With that, he drew his sword.

……

……

Ye Huaisleeve didn't pay attention to him at all but turned around and left, and the twelve black robes behind her immediately rushed towards Ni Huatian.

"Stop her!"

Ni Huatian shouted sharply, and then jumped up. The twenty or so silver-armored guards behind him immediately rushed over with Mo swords, this was one of the few guards under Li Yuan now, and everyone had excellent martial arts. The iron armor leaves made a rattling sound as they ran, and the Mo knife shimmered with a cold and faint light in the remnant sun.

Ni Huatian crossed over the heads of the twelve black robes and slashed at Ye Huai's back. But the knife had just fallen, and four iron hammers had already stabbed him in front of him. Ni Huatian turned his wrist, and the blade spun out a snowy circle, breaking all the four iron drills, and then forced back the two black robes that had retreated back to him with a knife, and he was about to rush forward but found that there were two people in front of him. No matter where you look, there are two people in the way.

"Plum Blossom Array?"

Ni Huatian's face moved slightly, and his eyes became awe-inspiring.

"It's a pity, there are too few of you, even if you can stop me, can you stop the twenty-four silver armor?"

"Kill the woman!"

Ni Huatian shouted loudly, and then slashed at the black robe in front of him.

Twenty-four silver-armored guards rushed forward with Mo swords, six black-robed soldiers formed a plum blossom array to block Ni Huatian, and six people stood in a row with iron hammers in front of those silver armor. Six against twenty-four, iron drill against Mo knife, it seems that no matter how you look at it, the military guards do not have the slightest advantage.

But as a result, three of the six black-robed soldiers were killed, and the twenty-four silver-armored guards were all wiped out! You must know that these twenty-four people are Li Yuan's personal guards, and they are veterans of a hundred battles selected from the Tang Army! Those six black robes, relying on an iron hammer that looked far more slender and fragile than Mo Dao, killed twenty-four people in a row!

These twenty-four people were carefully selected, and so were the twelve black robes. For the importance of martial arts people, Li Xian is far higher than Li Yuan. And the Military Inspection Department, all of them are good at the rivers and lakes!

In just five minutes, the battle was over.

There were twenty-four more dead corpses on the ground, and the remaining three black robes didn't take a look at Ni Huatian and other comrades who were still fighting, and rushed towards the dormitory quickly, led by one person who kicked open the door, and the three minifigures searched carefully and carefully, and the room was ...... It's true that there is no one. When the three of them turned around and ran out, there were six more corpses on the ground, and the six black robes that stopped Ni Huatian were all dead, and Ni Huatian disappeared!

The three black-robed men looked at each other, and a hint of surprise and shock flashed in their eyes.

These twelve people are the personal twelve guards of the head of the military inspection department, and the strength of hand-to-hand combat martial arts is a first-class good hand on the rivers and lakes. The twenty-four silver-armored guards were naturally all masters, but they were killed by the six black-robed guards within five minutes. At about the same time, Ni Huatian killed six black robes.

The remaining three black-robed people rushed out all the way, and when they came out of the imperial city, they met Nie Duo, who came with more than 100 blue-shirted swordsmen, and Ye Chuanyun, who was soaked in blood in white.

The three black-robed generals said it again, and everyone was shocked.

"Where's the big stall?"

Nie Duo glanced at Ye Chuanyun and said, "We haven't met her all the way, where can we go?" ”

After asking this sentence, without waiting for Ye Chuanyun to answer, Nie Duo's face couldn't help but change.

"Miyagi!"

He pointed to the Taiji Palace behind him: "It can only be Miyagi." ”

……

……

"Miki!"

Li Chengde walked to the door of the imperial study and shouted again, and the eunuch Miki, who was standing outside the door, pushed open the door and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”

"I'm not at ease, I still want to go to the General's Mansion to have a look."

"Your Majesty......"

Miki glanced at Li Chengde in embarrassment: "It's too chaotic outside, assassins are being hunted everywhere in the city, who knows where the assassins are hiding?" Your Majesty's golden body, let's wait for news in the imperial study. The slave will send someone to the General's Mansion to see the situation and report back to you immediately. ”

Li Chengde sighed and said, "You still think I am the emperor?" ”

Miki was stunned, lowered his head and stopped talking.

"You come in, I wrote a letter, you sent someone to send it to the palace of the general of Tiance, since I can't go in person, but I can't be rude. King Yan is the pillar of the country, and he is also the emperor's uncle, so I can't help but ask. ”

"Whoa"

Miki answered and walked into the imperial study. As soon as he entered the door, his eyes suddenly went dark, and a black shadow flashed like lightning, and a knife pierced Miki's throat, and after the blade entered the body, it spun violently, and with a poof, Miki's neck bone shattered, and a stream of blood spurted out of the major artery like an arrow, splashing the black shadow on the opposite side.

"Drag him in, change his clothes, I'm going out."

With a creak, the door to the study slammed shut. The person sitting in the chair said coldly, but it was not Li Chengde.

This person has white hair, his face is full of wrinkles, and his face can hardly hide his tiredness and a little panic, but his eyes are exceptionally bright.

It's Li Yuan!

The bookshelf next to the desk seems to be a little strange, and if you look sideways, you will see a dark hole. Although it is low, it can accommodate a person to crawl in and out.

The one who killed Miki was a stout man, but he was still wearing a bright red dress. But the most striking thing is not his clothes but his bald head, shaved with a golden eagle pierced on the top of his head, this eagle is lifelike, and in the setting sun it really looks like it is about to spread its wings and fly high.

"Whoa!"

The bald man answered, dragging Miki's body in and stripping off his clothes. Li Yuan got up, took off his clothes and changed them into Miki's, glanced at Li Chengde and said, "If I get out of Chang'an City, I will go to Xiangyang...... Would you like to come with me? ”

Li Chengde's body was shocked, and he said cowardly: "Grandson...... Can't. ”

"That's it!"

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Qingniu, let's go." ”

The bald head took off his outer clothes, revealing a forbidden army uniform: "Your Majesty walks in front, don't raise your head." ”

The man called Qingniu instructed, Li Yuan nodded, and then walked to the door and opened the door, as the door opened, the sunlight spread in little by little from the crack in the door, stabbing people's eyes a little painful. Li Yuan rubbed his eyes to adjust to the light, but he couldn't take the next step.

Outside the door, a woman dressed in purple stood there, her dress swinging in the wind, graceful.

"This secret passage is not good."

The woman outside the door said in a flat tone.

"It's really not good!"

Li Yuan nodded and said seriously: "Yang Guang is an idiot, how can there be a secret passage that only leads to the Imperial City's dormitory and the imperial study?" You can't even go straight out of the city! Only an idiot like Yang Guang would do such an idiotic thing! There is almost no difference between this secret passage and none. ”

"Lifecount"

The woman in purple suddenly smiled, the corners of her mouth raised, and she was exceptionally beautiful.
