———————

Deep in the palace, the stream flows, the night is as cold as frost, covered with pavilions and towers, solemn and cold.

As Duke Huo raised his long sword, the three hundred cavalrymen tightened the reins at the same time, hung their horses, and looked around with their eyes.

The palace is quiet.

It should be like this when it is late at night, but tonight is different. The left minister forced the palace to seek power. This night should be like fourteen years ago, with blood flowing into a river of fighting and blood. How could it be so quiet?

A trace of ominousness arose in my heart, gradually becoming thicker, and together with this vast night, it pressed on the heart of Duke Huo.

Inadvertently, his brows were squeezing, as if two steel knives were entangled.

Strong and easy to break...

For some reason, Duke Huo suddenly remembered this sentence. It was also what a Taoist priest said to him that although his cultivation level was far inferior to that of the man who took Yun'er away, he was from an authentic Taoist sect.

Just when Duke Huo was in a trance, there was a loud shout of killing from all directions, and the flames ignited, reflecting Duke Huo's simple face.

With a long knife on the ground, Duke Huo was calm and looked up at the height of the attic.

The handsome man walked out slowly, his eyes facing each other, smiled faintly at the left, and then bowed.

He did not bow to Duke Huo, but to the man walking out of the building.

He is wearing a five-clawed dragon robe, a ninety-nine-bead crown, a tall crown, a dragon walking and a tiger walking, and a majestic spirit. He is the monarch of Liuguo, Li Jing, today.

Lord?

Duke Huo was slightly stunned, then inserted his long sword in front of the horse and bowed with his fists.

"Well, please?"

It was silent, and I don’t know how long it took, but an inexplicable sigh came.

"I am very good to ask Duke Hongfu, but I don't know why... why is Duke rebelling?"

Upon hearing this, Duke Huo's arms trembled, and a cold light flashed in his lower eyes.

He finally knew what Zuo Xiang’s trump card was in this game.

It was not to instigate the rebel army to force the palace to Liujun, nor to occupy the palace and fight him in the capital, but to deceive him into the palace like this, and to advise Liujun that he wanted to rebel and kill him with the hands of Liujun.

True is both false and false. Everything before, dispatching troops and bribing military generals is just a trick. What he wants is just a reason to let Lord Liu kill me.

In a blink of an eye, Duke Huo figured out everything, but still felt a little strange.

Everyone knows the loyalty of Duke Huo, and today's affairs are not unexplainable. It would be too much for the Left Prime Minister to participate in the report of the emperor and kill him by relying on these things.

He looked deeply at the man with a smile on his face on the pavilion. Duke Huo turned over and got off the horse, knelt on one knee, and said with his fists.

"Don't listen to the words of the traitor. I'm not allowed to go to the palace tonight, but I heard that someone was going to rebel, and saw more than 10,000 people attacking the city. Then I came to rescue the emperor and hoped that the emperor would clearly observe."

"Who wants to rebel?"

Li Jing's voice seemed to have a little strangeness, but it was also a bit ridiculous.

He clenched his fists and slowly raised his head. Duke Huo's eyes shot towards the left, saying word by word.

"Report to the emperor, the person who wants to rebel is the important minister of the king and the left prime minister of the current dynasty. This man colluded with military generals from the foreign government to form cliques for personal gain, and caused trouble to the court. He wanted to seek evil deeds, but he hoped that the king would stay away from villains, be close to the virtuous and thoroughly investigate the left prime minister."

"So, is the Duke coming tonight for the Left Prime Minister?"

“That’s right.”

"But want to clear your side?"

Upon hearing this, Duke Huo was stunned and then fell silent.

The so-called purging the king has been an excuse for rebellion since ancient times. As soon as the king said this, he had already shown that he trusted the left prime minister more than himself.

Fourteen years ago, it was Duke Huo who, with his own strength, who entered the palace to protect the reign of Liu Kingdom and supported Li Yu to ascend the throne. He was also a high-ranking minister, with no distinction between reputation and power. Duke Huo was good at fighting, but was not good at intrigue. I don’t know when, but the emperor gradually became distant from him, and even promoted a young man to compete with him, which is now the left prime minister who is below one person and above ten thousand people.

The corners of his mouth were bitter, and Duke Huo took a deep breath, said without rushing or slowing down.

"The loyalty of the minister is to be seen by heaven and earth. It is better to send a fast horse to explore the city. If the Wei ministers expected, the men who colluded with the left will definitely attack the city."

Hearing this, the king on the pavilion glanced at the calm man beside him, pondering, speechless for a long time.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to use my superiors to guarantee it!"

Seeing that Lord Liu hesitating, Duke Huo bowed deeply and said loudly.

But before Liu Jun could speak, the sound of horse hooves came from far and near. Everyone looked at him. The person who came was a Jinwu Medical School official with blood all over his body. His armor was crooked, and it was obvious that he had just had a big battle.

Seeing this, Duke Huo breathed a sigh of relief, but in a blink of an eye, something unexpected happened.

When the school official saw him, his face changed drastically. He hung his war horse, rolled down from his saddle, and bowed to Liujun.

"Your Majesty, Duke Huo colluded with the official army of the foreign government and wanted to rebel!"

The words came out, and the three hundred Huo Mansion guards looked at the school official angrily, but they didn't know how to defend themselves. Instead, Duke Huo gradually calmed down and looked at the long sword at his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Bold, the Duke of the State is loyal to the emperor and serve the country, how can he rebel?"

The one who spoke was Zuo Xiang, with an indignant look on his face.

"Reported to the Lord Zuo Prime Minister, the Duke of the State sent someone to pass on an order that there was a change in the city and ordered us to open the city gate to welcome reinforcements. General Wang was suspicious and ordered us to close the city gate. Unexpectedly, the rebels attacked the city in large numbers. I hope the Lord and Lord Zuo Prime Minister will clearly understand!"

After the words came, Huo Guogong trembled violently and subconsciously held the long sword. A cold light appeared on the shaky back of the knife. Before he could get up, a long sword stabbed from the side and pierced his right chest.

The Huo family's sword technique is the thirteenth style of the long rainbow without traces, so how could Duke Huo not recognize it?

He stood up suddenly, raised his sword with his backhand, and one arm flew high. Duke Huo looked at the pale-faced man in disbelief, and was silent for a while, and asked in a low voice.

"Miss, why is this?"

"Is it possible that the prince can't remember the 39th village in the Southern Wilderness?"

Under the night, the man with broken arms looked ferocious and hatred. No more calm as he was as a confidant general of Duke Huo. The next moment, he waved the remaining arm and pointed it straight at Duke Huo, shouting loudly.

"I am a general of Huo State's Duke. I have been deceived by him for many years and am well aware of his unjust intentions. Today I will serve the country with death and make my ambition clear!"

After saying that, he sneered repeatedly, his face twitched, and he opened his mouth and spit out a bloody object, but he died of biting his tongue.

"The Thirty-Nine Villages in the Southern Wilderness... It turns out that the children who lived at the gate of our mansion were descendants of the Thirty-Nine Villages who were slaughtered by me."

He murmured, the moonlight was cold, and it was sprinkled on the old man standing straight with a long knife. The broken knife on his chest was shocking, and blood flowed out, but he had no time to care.

The south of Dakuang is called the Southern Wilderness. The people there are not educated and often invade the border areas of Dakuang. The thirteen princes of Dakuang took turns to send troops to fight, but the southern Wilderness was dangerous, poor mountains and rivers were bad, and the miasma was heavy. If the army went deep into the hinterland, they would inevitably end up with a crushing defeat. However, the young and strong Duke Huo did not believe this evil at that time, and led the Huo family army to fight against the Southern Wilderness. They first broke the four sons and lost their two sons, and returned with a crushing defeat. In grief and anger, all the cities and villages they passed by were ordered by Duke Huo to slaughter men and women in the Guang clan to act as military prostitutes... But unexpectedly, the cause and effect planted at that time would be repaid today.

A four or five-year-old boy from the Southern Wilderness could not come to Liuguo from the Southern Wilderness to secretly help him...

Looking up at the high shelf, the gentle and elegant handsome man in the wind, for the first time in more than ten years, Duke Huo felt a strong chill in his heart.

The king did not know, the ministers of the Liu Kingdom did not know, and the people of the people did not know, but he knew clearly that all of this was set up by that person. Thirty years ago, he had turned his attention to himself and buried this chess piece that had lasted for thirty years. Thirty years later, he appeared in the Liujing Palace and looked down on his "treacherous minister" as the left prime minister. He did not take action, did not use swords and guns, and defeated himself without any blood...

Thirty years ago, he still looked like a young man after thirty years... Who is this man who controls the government of Liu Kingdom like a monster, and why did he get involved in Liu Kingdom?

One by one, a group of doubts surged into his mind, but at this moment, he had no time to think about it anymore.

If the star falls, he will lose. He will never be able to overcome the prophecy that accompanied him throughout his life. From the moment he stepped into the palace, the Liu Kingdom military god who made countless contributions in the battles and battles in the south and north were already defeated, completely defeated and had no power to fight back.

In a vague sense that all this was just the beginning, and it kicked off with his own defeat, but he didn't know what the final outcome would be.

"Master, what else do you have to say?"

The long quietness was broken, and Liujun looked at Duke Huo in shock and angrily, his chest undulating.

"There is nothing to say."

Holding a long sword in his hand, Duke Huo bowed and said, the next moment, he raised his head and looked at the left, with his long sword tapping the ground, his eyebrows as if he was twisted by a knife.

"It's just that there are monsters in the country who deceive the king and do not know the superiors, and secretly commits a treacherous plan, which makes me Huo Chen bear the crime of being absent from the ministers for the ages, but the ministers are unable to eliminate it, and bear the grace of the emperors of the three generations."

A few desolate voices echoed up and down the palace as he was old, and everyone who heard it was sad, but everything was confirmed that Duke Huo wanted to rebel, and even if he felt sympathy, he could do nothing.

In the surprised gaze of Liujun, Duke Huo turned over and attacked the air with a long sword, and his cold eyes scanned the Yulin Army slowly surrounding him from all directions.

"Tonight, who wants to go with you?"

With his horse riding his sword, Duke Huo looked at the man with a faint expression on the attic and shouted in a deep voice.

After a brief silence, three hundred guards threw their helmets and pulled their swords at the same time, pointing straight to the pavilion.

"I wish to go with you!"

In the blink of an eye, the three hundred iron cavalry were like a gust of fire, following the person they had been loyal to for the rest of their lives and rushed towards the nearly ten thousand Yulin Army.

......

On the giant python, An Bochen was stunned, and Sima Jin on the other side was also stunned.

No one expected that in just one night, Duke Huo would become a treacherous minister who intended to rebel.

After a stick of incense, the three hundred people had been sold halfway.

After three incense sticks, only more than seventy iron cavalry remained.

One hour later, there were only ten personal guards following Duke Huo...

......

It was blue and dawn was approaching. The fierce battle in the palace was not over. The old man holding a long sword fought hard. Every step he took would always add ten scars, but he was still a hundred steps away from the pavilion.

Behind him, three hundred personal guards lay quietly in a pool of blood, wide open their eyes and looked at the dawn that suddenly appeared, with unwilling expression on their faces.

"A hero of a general has been withered forever. If a peerless general like Duke Huo wants to kill him, at least ten thousand people will be buried with him."

Looking at the tragic battle against ten thousand in the bronze mirror, Sima Jin said with a touch of his heart, but suddenly remembered something and hurriedly looked at An Bochen.
