There was a loud noise, and the door of the courtyard was blown away. A large group of Yulin guards and garrison troops rushed in and surrounded everyone in the courtyard. Their spears were bright and their armor was cold.
The Taoist priests were horrified and huddled together as they watched the sharp and sharp spear heads pointed at them.
"Sir!" Gong Yangyue rushed in from outside the door. When he saw Xue Poye, he said happily: "You are fine. That's great. The Holy One is thinking about you and has personally led his troops to encircle and suppress the rebels."
Xue Poye was startled at first, and then immediately moved. Although Xiao Shitou was the emperor, he came in person regardless of the danger. This sentiment was touching.
"Master...Master...!" The little emperor's anxious voice sounded, and there was a sound of armor scraping. Guarded by more than a dozen iron-armored Yulins, the little emperor came in from the door, wearing a dragon robe, and glanced sharply.
He moved and landed on Xue Poye. Seeing that he was safe and sound, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his forehead regardless of his dignity and said happily: "Master, you're fine."
Behind the young emperor, there followed a small group of courtiers, including Mo Yi, the Minister of Punishment, and Wei Shantai, the governor of Kyoto.
Xue Poye was about to step forward to pay homage when he suddenly thought of the Green Lady and Han Changbang. These two people were now the turtles in the jar. Without a miracle, they would never be able to escape.
"Come here, betray the party!" Gong Yangyue gave the order, and all Yulin raised their knives and rushed forward.
Xue Poye gritted his teeth and whispered to Han Changbang: "Quick, hold me!"
The voice was so soft that only Han Changbang and Lu Niangzi heard it, but they didn't understand what he meant for a moment. When Xue Poye saw that the Yulin guards were about to rush forward, maybe Han Changbang and Lu Niangzi would both die under Yulin's sword, he whispered
Then he said: "I... the hostage!"
Han Changbang finally reacted. At the moment when Yu Linwei rushed over, he saw him using the last remaining strength to quickly take action, pinching Xue Poye's neck, and then ducked behind Xue Poye and said in a deep voice: "Who?
If he comes up, I will kill him!"
Only then did the green lady realize that Xue Poye was willing to be a hostage and wanted to escort Han Changbang out. She was so surprised that she hurriedly stood behind Han Changbang to prevent anyone from attacking him.
Han Changbang is at the end of his strength, and under the siege of these elite Yulin, he will never be able to sustain it for long.
"stop!"
The most panicked person was the little emperor. When he saw Xue Poye being captured, he was more anxious than anyone else and immediately stopped the Yulin Guards' attack.
The Yulin Guards were all Xue Poye's subordinates, not to mention that everyone knew about the relationship between Xue Houye and the young emperor. As soon as the order was given, they hurriedly stopped.
Qin Wuhen frowned and looked at Xue Poye with a strange look. He was a top martial artist. He was well aware of Xue Poye's tricks, but what could he say at this time?
In everyone's eyes, although Han Changbang was injured, his god-like martial arts in mid-air had already made people fear this warrior from the bottom of their bones. Therefore, even in the hands of Han Changbang, Han Changbang was able to capture
Mr. Xue, it is reasonable and reasonable, not a miracle.
"What do you want to do?" The little emperor looked at Han Changbang with a stern expression: "I want you to let him go."
Han Changbang said calmly: "Make a way and let us go...otherwise, I want this person to die with us!"
The little emperor shouted coldly: "How dare you!"
"Then try it!"
"Traitor!" the little emperor sneered: "If my master loses one of his heads, I will kill all of you rebels."
Although he was young, the murderous intent in his eyes could chill anyone's heart.
"Your Majesty...!" The green lady looked at the familiar little stone and hesitated to speak. Thinking that they used to get along well together, but now they are facing each other with swords, she couldn't help but look very sad.
When the little emperor first came in, he recognized the green lady in Taoist robes. Although he was surprised, seeing her desperately guarding Han Changbang, with his intelligence and wisdom, he quickly understood the meaning and sneered: "It's my fault."
I used to treat you as my master's wife... You actually colluded with me to rebel and harm my master. Master, you are right, the human heart is invisible!"
The green lady heard the little emperor's cold voice, and she obviously regarded herself as an enemy. She became even more sad and said slowly: "Little Shitou, I still want to call you this. Do you know who informed you that Mr. Xue is trapped here? And
Who informed you that a large amount of official silver has been hoarded here?"
The little emperor frowned: "Master Wei is the only one who knows this news, and he reported it to me."
The green lady sighed: "I was the one who informed Mr. Wei, and the person who asked me to inform was Mr. Han."
The little emperor was a little confused, and several ministers behind him were also very confused and talked in low voices.
They couldn't figure out the key for a while. After all, Han Changbang was Qinglianzhao's former chief helmsman, and Qinglianzhao was the court's mortal enemy. How could he help the court?
Han Changbang felt relieved and sneered: "There's no need to tell them so much. I'm not passing the news on to them just to help them...!" The voice suddenly said: "Get out of my way!"
Xue Poye didn't speak from beginning to end, and he really didn't know what to say. Looking at the anger and worry in the little emperor's eyes, he felt very uncomfortable, but he was also very moved.
Although Xiao Shitou's identity has changed, his feelings for him are still strong.
The little emperor saw Han Changbang's right hand clasped around Xue Poye's neck like an iron hoop, and his finger was pressed against Xue Poye's throat like a dagger. With just a little force, this eight-path warrior could definitely kill Xue Poye in an instant.
Die Xue Poye.
"I can let you go, but... you must let the master go!" the little emperor said coldly.
Qin Wuhen finally said: "Your Majesty, Han Changbang is a serious problem for the imperial court. If we let him escape today... there will be endless troubles. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
The little emperor swept away the other people in the courtyard, from Xuanyang, Yang Yao, and Zuo Zixuan on the ground, and said calmly: "With Eunuch Qin here, even if we escape a retired old man, I'm afraid he won't do any harm to the imperial court.
There is no threat. But the master is extremely important to the safety of my great Chu... Eunuch Qin, do you think I shouldn't save the master?"
Qin Wuhen said calmly: "Your Majesty, if this person escapes today, he may not be a big threat for a few years, but if he can survive five or six years... he will be the biggest threat to the imperial court."
The little emperor sneered and said: "Five or six years later... that will happen in the future." He said to Han Changbang: "Let my master go, you can leave now."
Han Changbang shook his head: "No, I can't trust you... When we leave here and are safe, we will naturally let him go."
The little emperor frowned. At this time, a person came out from the side, but it was You Shaoqing. He said something to the little emperor. The little emperor finally nodded and said: "Okay, they say Han Changbang is a man who keeps his promises, so I will
I believe you." With a wave of his hand, the Yulin guards immediately moved out of the way.
Han Changbang glanced at Yang Yao who was standing aside, and was about to say something, but Xue Poye had already spoken: "Director Han, the Lord has shown mercy. If you want to use me to blackmail the Lord again, even if I die, then I will
I beg the Holy Spirit to refuse.”
Han Changbang understood what Xue Poye meant. He could let himself go, but he could never let anyone else go.
Han Changbang and the Green Lady looked at each other and said, "Okay!"
He grabbed Xue Poye's throat and led the green lady slowly along the way out of the way.
"Master!" the little emperor suddenly said: "I am waiting for you in the palace... Don't worry, as long as he dares to hurt you even a hair, I guarantee that none of Qinglianzhao's rebellious people will be able to live in the world!"
His words were cold and murderous.
Xue Poye sighed and said, "I have remembered the words of the Holy One!" Immediately, under Han Changbang's "hostage", the three of them were about to leave. Everyone considered Xue Poye's safety and did not dare to stop them.
…
After the three people went out, they grabbed two horses. Han Changbang and Xue Poye rode one horse together, and the green lady followed behind. They galloped around the Wanxian Temple like flying, and soon left the Taoist temple and headed straight for the Chaomen Gate.
Go away.
Han Changbang had already let go of his hand at this time and said calmly: "Xue Poye...should I thank you?" His figure was swaying slightly. He had been trying his best to hold on, but at this time, his internal organs were injured and he was already a little unable to hold on.
live.
Xue Poye smiled bitterly and said, "You saved my life, and this is what I give you in return."
The two fast horses quickly galloped to the city gate. The city gate had been closed. When the gatekeepers saw the two horses galloping towards them, they rushed forward to surround them.
He said: "Open the city gate quickly, I have business to do!"
The captain of the city gate saw the sign and recognized it as the badge of the General Guards of Yulin. This was a big shot. Now he was the leader in Kyoto and he did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly asked people to open the city gate. Xue Poye and the other three rushed out in an instant and left.
Kyoto.
After leaving Kyoto City, Han Changbang finally couldn't hold on any longer and spit out a mouthful of blood and sprayed it on Xue Poye's body.
Xue Poye hurriedly grabbed Han Changbang's hand and said in a deep voice: "Let's find a hidden place first. Just hold on."
Han Changbang leaned against Xue Poye involuntarily, and said with a wry smile: "Xuan Yang... is really powerful... all the Xuanwu walls I cultivated were pierced by him... they were all pierced by him...!"
He still couldn't forget the battle just now.
Along the way, the green lady led the way, looking for some difficult roads to intersperse. I don’t know how long we walked. The green lady turned over and dismounted and said: "Helmsman, in order to prevent the officers and soldiers from tracking us, we have to abandon the horse."
Xue Poye nodded. The Green Lady has been around the world all year round, so she must have the ability to resist tracking.
After getting off the horse, Xue Poye carried Han Changbang, who was already very weak, and followed the green lady back. After walking for half an hour, he turned and headed south.
It was almost dawn at this time, and although the sky and the earth were still shrouded in darkness, the road could be vaguely seen.
Xue Poye followed the green lady and looked at the strong and vigorous green lady in front of her. He saw that although she was wearing a Taoist robe, her curvy figure was not concealed by the Taoist robe when she walked. She sighed.
I thought to myself: "Perhaps this is the woman who has been truly loyal to Qinglian Zhao all this time?"
Now Yang Yao will definitely fall into the hands of the imperial court and meet a tragic end. As for Han Changbang, it is obvious that he will not be the chief helmsman of Qinglianzhao again. Qinglianzhao's future is bleak.
The belief that Green Lady has always adhered to may have begun to waver after several blows.
Xue Poye spoke from his heart. From his infatuation with Lady Green's body to the feelings he developed when getting along with her, this woman has now occupied a place in his heart, so he doesn't want Lady Green to really put her mind on Qinglian.
Photo on.
After all, Qinglianzhao will die sooner or later.
Ever since Xue Poye learned that the leadership of Qinglianzhao was a group of people with extremely selfish desires, he had already made plans for the future of the country for the little emperor. This time bomb hidden in the Great Chu Kingdom must be removed.
Seeing that Xue Poye didn't speak, Lady Green couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
Xue Poye followed her, smiled faintly, and said: "I'm thinking... in your heart, who is more important to you, me or Qinglianzhao!"
The green lady paused for a moment, bit her lip, turned her head, and in the haze, her beautiful face was a little helpless, and said softly: "What about you? Qinglianzhao or the imperial court, in your heart, which one is more important?
What’s more important?”
Xue Poye said calmly: "I think I have given you the answer."
The green lady frowned slightly, but she quickly understood the meaning of his words.
Yes, today in the critical moment, Xue Poye willingly acted as a hostage and protected Han Changbang and himself from coming out. He has done his best to benevolent and righteous.
The Green Lady knew Xue Poye's martial arts skills. Although he was not a top master in martial arts, Han Changbang, who had been seriously injured, would have been absolutely impossible to restrain Xue Poye if he hadn't been able to catch him.
The green lady sighed quietly and said: "For Qinglianzhao, I can die, for you, I... can also die!"
Seeing that what she said was extremely solemn and sincere, Xue Poye couldn't help but smile slightly.
After passing through a forest and crossing a small river, I saw a small village appearing in front of me in the dawn light.
There are only about twenty households in the small village, and the faint sound of cockcrow can be heard.
The green lady led Xue Poye into the village from the back of the village very familiarly. When he arrived at a thatched house, he opened the house and went in. Xue Poye followed immediately and closed the door behind him.
The room was very simple. Apart from a table and two broken small chairs, there was only a small wooden bed. The bed was covered with straw and a worn sheet was spread on it. It was very simple.
Xue Poye put Han Changbang who had fallen asleep on the bed. The green lady had already scooped out water and cleaned the blood on Han Changbang's body. Then she walked to the table and looked at Xue Poye who was standing by the bed and staring outside.
, said softly: "You...are you injured?"
Xue Poye did not look back, shook his head and said: "No. How is he?"
The green lady said: "Although his breath is unstable, there is no danger to his life."
Xue Poye nodded and suddenly said: "How do you know this place?"
"This is the place that Chief Han is looking for. Leng Yanyun was brought here after he was rescued last time."
"Oh!" Xue Poye walked to the table, sat down on the shabby chair, stared at the green lady, and asked: "Qinglianzhao is now a mess, and the future is slim. What are you going to do in the future?"
The green lady looked sad, glanced at the sleeping Han Changbang, and said softly: "Yang Yao was captured, and Chief Han also said that once this matter is over, he will never ask about Qinglianzhao again... I'm afraid Qinglian
Zhaori will be led by Leng Yanyun in the future."
"Continue to die?" Xue Poye smiled bitterly and said: "The chrysanthemum boy is dead, the lotus boy is dead, the peach blossom boy is now alive and dead, and those dead brothers...how many more people are going to die?"
The green lady said nothing.
"Even today, I don't understand what the value of their deaths is." Xue Poye shook his head and said: "In the past hundred years, Qinglianzhao seems to have gone on and on, but except for the dead, has the Great Chu court declined at all?"
"Are you speaking for the court?" Green Lady frowned.
Xue Poye said sternly: "I just want you to understand that the national power of Dachu is still there and the court is stable... Even if Qinglianzhao can continue to survive, it can only continue to die. Chief Han, Yang Yao, still
With Qinglianzhao as the helmsman for nearly a hundred years, there must be many people with extraordinary talents among them, but in the end, they are reduced to withered bones, and the Liu family is still sitting firmly in the country!"
Lady Green knew that Xue Poye's words were true, but she didn't know what to say.
"The common people want a good life. As for whether the country is Chu or Shu, they don't care." Xue Poye said calmly: "A real hero, in troubled times, may want to unify the country and establish a stable regime.
, to prevent the world from strife and causing the common people to fall into dire straits. However, these are not troubled times. If Qinglianzhao wants to stir up strife, is it for the people or harming the people?"
"Do you want Qinglianzhao to give up the restoration of the country?"
"Restore the country?" A hint of contempt flashed deep in Xue Poye's eyes: "Restore the Meng family's Later Shu Kingdom? Where are the descendants of the Meng family now, I'm afraid even you don't know? To restore the country, this Qinglian Zhao
The chief helmsman also changed his surname to Meng?" He sighed, stood up, and said: "That's all, you are smarter than me, you have some sense, and you will understand better than me. You take good care of him, I will go back first."
"You...are you leaving?" The green lady said with a look of reluctance on her face.
Xue Poye looked at Lady Green, with a tired look on her beautiful face, smiled and said softly: "You know, I always have you in my heart. If you figure it out, I will wait for you in Kyoto."
"But...!" Mrs. Green said with some worry: "If Yang Yao is arrested, your identity will be leaked. If the court knows that you are Qinglianzhao...!"
Xue Poye smiled bitterly and said, "I can't just disappear inexplicably."
"You...!" The green lady bit her lip, as if she had made a great determination: "Let's fly far away, take Captain Han with us, and no longer ask about the rights and wrongs of the world, we will go far...!" She couldn't help but say
He came over, hugged Xue Poye, and said with a hint of sob in his voice: "Don't go back, if you go back... it will be very dangerous!"
Being able to put down Qinglianzhao and fly away with him, he obviously has an important position in the heart of the green lady.
Shitou is waiting for me in Beijing. Regardless of whether he knows about my relationship with Qinglianzhao or not, I have to give him an explanation... He has just ascended the throne and everything is unstable. I can't leave him like this...!"
He kissed the green lady gently on her forehead and said softly: "Just like I can't leave you, no matter whether you will come back to me in the end or not, I will always think of you, miss you, and treat you as mine."
The fairy daughter in my heart!"
Gently letting go of his hand, Xue Poye stretched out his hand and gently touched the smooth face of the green lady, smiling like a spring breeze, finally turned around and pushed the door open.
The green lady ran to the window and watched Xue Poye's figure disappear into the dawn.
Behind him came Han Changbang's sigh: "Lotus Boy, he can help us today, and he can be considered a man who values love and justice... You go with him...!"
Han Changbang, who was originally sleeping, suddenly woke up.
The green lady did not look back, tears fell from the corners of her eyes: "Chief rudder, will anything happen to him when he returns to the capital?"
"Maybe...!" Han Changbang said softly: "Ji people have their own destiny!" dd
