On Phoenix Mountain, the fire caused by the explosion in the wine warehouse continued to burn.
Lu Xiaoyou walked through the imperial garden, threw away the knife in his hand, touched a few on the ground, and washed away the blood on his hands with sand.
Seeing an opportunity, he ran to the goldfish pond at the foot of Phoenix Mountain and met a group of Imperial Guard soldiers who were fetching water.
"Let me do it."
Lu Xiaoyou grabbed a bucket and poured a bucket of water into the pool. Before the other party could react, Lu Xiaoyou strode towards the wine warehouse with the bucket in hand.
He was actually injured.
The injury was not caused during the fight outside Funing Hall, but because he accidentally took the wrong path when evacuating. Because of the blood stains on his body, the guards suspected him, and he was hit by an arrow in his waist.
He has been bandaged and can hold on until he leaves the palace near the wine warehouse.
At this time, less than two hours had passed since Lu Xiaoyou entered the palace city.
Before setting off, he was really nervous.
But after taking action, what he did was very simple. He entered the palace from the main gate of Li, blew up the Wende Hall, set explosives to detonate in the Star View Pavilion, jumped down and killed the guards, and finally evacuated.
If you had not gone the wrong way, it would not be difficult to evacuate. After all, that fool King Zhong said something at that time——
"Yes, Pang Xie killed my father, you go and hunt down the traitor."
Compared with the battle to seize the sword gate, Lu Xiaoyou followed Yang and ran through the dangerous path for three whole days, which was much simpler.
But this time some brothers inevitably died. Two hundred people entered the palace, and I don’t know how many went back...
As Lu Xiaoyou walked, he turned his head and looked around from time to time, but he didn't see his companion.
Everyone dispersed and walked away. He went around a little longer and was delayed because of bandaging his wounds, so he was at the end.
Finally, not far ahead was the still-burning wine warehouse. He turned to the right and followed the palace wall to find another passage that was created when the wine warehouse exploded.
As I walked, many footprints gradually appeared on the ground.
Lu Xiaoyou wiped away a few footprints with his foot and smiled.
Come to think of it, everyone ran away...
"puff!"
A sharp arrow shot through Lu Xiaoyou's thigh.
He groaned, fell to the ground, stood up and wanted to run away.
It was too late, and more than a dozen guards sprang out from the darkness, swooped up, and held him down.
Lu Xiaoyou was still struggling, but he received a heavy blow on his head and passed out...
"I actually caught one!"
"I just said they escaped from here..."
~~
"Wow."
A bucket of water was thrown down.
Lu Xiaoyou opened his eyes again and found that he had been tied up.
"Are you from Li Xia?" someone asked directly.
Lu Xiaoyou's head was stepped on, and he only saw a pair of boots, and responded: "You are so brave, you dare to take the right Xiaowei..."
"Huh? Let's put it this way, I am Jia Xiang's man, do you understand? Where is Li Xia?"
"I don't know what you are talking about." Lu Xiaoyou said, "Who is Li Xia?"
"It's funny. More than a hundred people have escaped from here, and you still want to pretend to be ignorant? What do you want to do when you enter the palace?"
Lu Xiaoyou didn't answer.
"Well!"
A sharp pain shot through my leg.
"Say or not? You choose to be punished or to be rich and powerful."
"You...his...mother..." Lu Xiaoyou gritted his teeth and said, "Go...die..."
"Say or not?"
Lu Xiaoyou heard this person's tone and concluded that the other person didn't know that the emperor was dead.
His face turned ferocious due to the severe pain, but there was still a trace of pride hidden in his eyes.
The commander-in-chief can even kill the emperor...
~~
Qibao Mountain.
"Control, approved, one hundred and sixty-seven people."
Gao Nianfeng was stunned for a moment, turned to look in the direction of Miyagi, and murmured: "Thirty-six brothers are gone?"
"Wait a little longer?"
"It's three o'clock in the middle of the night? Let's wait until the third hour of the day."
Gao Nianfeng sat down cross-legged under a tree, still feeling frightened...
When he rushed into Funing Palace tonight, he only heard Li Xia shout loudly, and then he backed out as soon as Zhao Fu spoke.
The emperor is dead, but not even he knows how.
When making the plan, Li Xia never said what he wanted him to do after arriving at Funing Hall.
This matter was not left to any one of the two hundred people.
Before departure, what Li Xia talked about the most was how to evacuate——
"Remember, move quickly. You are all wearing the same armor and are rushing to put out the fire..."
"Commander, tell me how to kill the emperor?"
"If you can't kill, you will be timid. All you need to do after entering the palace is do this. Don't be nervous. It's just like fighting in normal times."
"But such a big thing...Commander, let us go and kill him? If we can kill an emperor, it's worth it even if two hundred of us get involved!"
"No need. Don't say this again. You take the emperor too seriously. We need to use people sitting on the throne to do things. This emperor refuses to solve the problem for us, so we have to change it. It's that simple. Important
The word "doing something" refers to resisting the invaders and defending the homeland. Then, who will do it?
There are more than 100,000 soldiers in Sichuan and Sichuan, but I can only bring 800 to Lin'an, and only 200 of the 800 enter the palace. How precious is that? There will be losses in this trip. It does not mean that the lives of any of them are not as important as the emperor.
In my eyes, each of their lives is much more important than the emperor who refuses to solve the problem.
But in order to solve the problem, we have to take risks, which is why we have to make sacrifices. What we should consider is to try to reduce the sacrifices as much as possible... Don’t you understand? Let’s put it this way, Zhao Yun is a piece of shit, I have arranged so many plans,
Some of them are for him, most of them are for returning to Shu to guard, do you understand?"
Gao Nianfeng actually didn't understand it yet.
Even now, after he had come out of the palace, he still didn't understand.
But he still recalled Li Xia's words from time to time.
Words come second. The attitude Li Xia showed when he said this... not only towards Gao Nianfeng, but towards everyone, even the people of the world, was one of the reasons why he was willing to follow Li Xia.
Thinking of this, Gao Nian Feng took a dead branch and threw it at a few soldiers.
"Tell me, why are you willing to follow the commander-in-chief to kill the emperor?"
"Because he is a commander-in-chief. I don't mean the official commander-in-chief... I mean the person he is. The commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief... Well, I can't explain it, but the commander-in-chief is different from others."
"If you ask me...I have sworn a long time ago that the Marshal can do anything. I believe in him. In the past two years, there have been so many things that I can't handle just thinking about it, and he doesn't even frown. The Marshal treats me well.
I'm fine again."
Gao Nianfeng looked at these people, smiled, and said: "Do you know? Before we set off, Mr. Yang had something to say...Whether we succeed or fail tonight, we just need to see what kind of people the commander has under his command.
What kind of civil servants and generals does Zhao Yun have!"
"That's not right. The commander-in-chief has the ability. How can we compare to those noble people?"
Gao Nianfeng clapped his knees and was about to agree, but then he thought of the knife that cut off Pang Xie, and Lu Xiaoyou's leap from the Star Viewing Pavilion...
Faintly, he understood what Li Xia meant.
"Those of us who work together are more worthy than the Dog Emperor."
~~
In the night, a carriage was galloping from outside Lin'an City towards Qingbo Gate.
On the opposite road, a knight rode to greet him.
"Eunxiang!"
"explain!"
"Caught one of Li Xia's men."
"Did you recruit?"
"He is being tried. He will definitely be brought out."
"What's the intelligence inside the palace?"
"Still exploring..."
There was another sound of hoofbeats ahead, and a fast horse came hurriedly.
"Hurry! I've found out how to repay my kindness. It's a big deal...a big deal..."
~~
In Funing Hall, the crying continued for a long time.
"Check! Check carefully!"
"Block the news! No one is allowed to move around, anyone who knows..."
"Right Prime Minister! The blockade can't be blocked." Ye Mengding shouted: "Don't forget, the fire on Phoenix Mountain has not stopped yet. If the fire is not controlled, Right Prime Minister will let the entire palace city be reduced to ashes?!"
Many people in the palace were surprised.
Surprised by Ye Mengding's sudden change of attitude.
Just now on the stage of Fengxian, he was afraid to plead guilty, and kept saying "brother Shenfu" in his ears. At this time, calling him "right prime minister" seemed polite, but his tone was too harsh.
"Your Majesty, this..."
"The mountains have collapsed and we can no longer hide it. The most important thing now is to stabilize the country!" Ye Mengding shouted again.
The tears in Cheng Yuanfeng's eyes did not stop, but she could not answer Ye Mengding's words.
He sighed imperceptibly and looked at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu was sitting on the ground hugging his knees like a child, with only one pair of eyes exposed as he stared blankly at Zhao Yun's body.
He seemed to be frightened.
"Dare I ask, Your Highness...really...Pang Xie committed regicide?"
Zhao Yu nodded.
Cheng Yuanfeng looked concerned, but then asked: "Is Your Highness okay?"
"Right Prime Minister!" Ye Mengding cut off Cheng Yuanfeng's words.
Zhao Yu was startled and buried his whole face.
Ye Mengding burst into tears, wiping his tears and said: "Right Prime Minister, it would be better for us and the foreign ministers not to disturb Your Majesty here? Can you let someone... take care of Your Majesty?"
Cheng Yuanfeng closed her eyes and raised her hands in grief.
The two of them made arrangements to go elsewhere to talk privately.
When turning around, Cheng Yuanfeng suddenly squinted his eyes, looked at Yuan, and hesitated for a moment.
He saw a bowl.
An old white porcelain bowl. Strangely, there is no pattern on the bowl.
Not like the things in the palace.
The bowl was empty, except for a little red mark on the edge...
Just as Cheng Yuanfeng was about to go over and take a closer look, Ye Mengding had already pulled his sleeve.
"Your right, please."
"Ye Gong, Ye Gong..."
"Who does the right minister think directed Pang Xie to conspire against him?"
"What do Mr. Ye think?"
Ye Mengding stroked his beard for a long time and said in a low voice: "Is it possible... that Jia Xiang wants to establish a clan... like the family of the prefect Zhao in Lin'an..."
Cheng Yuanfeng wiped her tears with her sleeves and remained silent for a long time.
With the tacit understanding between the two of them, there are too many things that don't need to be discussed in detail.
What each other can do for each other and what they can do together can be known with just one look.
Cheng Yuanfeng understood that if some things were a little confused, they would be over.
Don't worry about the many doubts, support the loyal king, defeat Jia Sidao, and still stand in the court in the future.
But, is it worthy of His Majesty’s kindness?
After thinking this, Cheng Yuanfeng took a few steps, turned around, and suddenly asked: "Can you tell me the truth? Tonight, Li Xiazhen only told Jia Sidao that he wanted to harm you? How did he know?"
"Just tell Prime Minister Jia that he may have a plan."
"Otherwise, he didn't say anything else?"
"No more words."
"Where is Li Xia?"
"I don't know." Ye Mengding's eyes were open and he reminded: "Shouldn't the Right Prime Minister pay attention to where Mr. Jia is?"
"You and I both know that this was definitely not Jia Sidao's hand. What have you done in order to be loyal to the king and succeed to the throne?"
"You are serious! You and I have known each other for many years. Could it be that..."
"Then what about Your Majesty..."
"Please right prime minister, please put the overall situation of the country first!" Ye Mengding's tone was filled with displeasure.
Cheng Yuanfeng closed his eyes and hesitated.
What he hopes to do as prime minister this time is to do more practical things for the people.
I didn't expect it to be so difficult.
After a thousand thoughts and dilemmas, it finally turned into a long sigh...
~~
Funing Hall.
There were bursts of mourning and misery.
Zhao Fu secretly raised his eyes, and with tears in his eyes, watched Cheng Yuanfeng leave, and watched the servants busy...
Then, he turned his eyes and looked at the bowl on the imperial table...
In the peripheral vision, Zhao Yun was slowly put down on the imperial couch.
Someone came forward and helped Zhao Yu up.
The situation between falling and standing seems to symbolize something...
~~
And just outside the palace, someone whispered in Zhao Yumin's ears.
"..."
"Oh, before the crown prince is established, how can the throne be determined?"
"The key is...who is behind the collapse of the mountain?"
