As soon as Shao Yan finished speaking, the originally bustling hall suddenly became eerily quiet. The generals who were drinking happily could no longer sit still and lowered their heads to their chests. They did not dare to use
Looking at Shao Yan, he quietly squinted at the King of Golden Guns opposite him, eager to get his 'protection'. The King of Golden Guns was indeed a **** lake. He first pretended to be surprised, and then smiled at those people.
The general said: "Don't be nervous, the emperor is joking with us."
Shao Yan admired his cunning and followed suit: "Jin Aiqing is right. I just wanted to make a joke with you just now. The purpose was to test your determination. I didn't expect that everyone here tonight would be...
I like heroes who are calm and peaceful. With your presence in the Donglin country, the restoration of the country is just around the corner. Come, let me pay a toast to all the heroes."
The generals were stunned for a moment. The Golden Gun King took the lead in raising his glass and said: "Brothers, the Emperor toasts you a drink. It is a kind of affirmation for you. Anyone who refuses to drink is cheating. I, the Golden Gun King, are the first."
Don’t let him go, come and drink”
Everyone then picked up the wine glass. Shao Yan put the wine glass to his mouth and did not actually drink it. Instead, he quietly paid attention to the movements of the King of Golden Guns. He saw that the guy winked at his generals from time to time, as if to convey something to them.
Task
Shao Yan knew that they were going to attack him soon, so he secretly touched Zhang Huaide with his arm. Zhang Huaide's mind was spinning very fast, so he grabbed an empty plate in front of him while everyone was not paying attention.
After receiving the signal from Shao Yan, be ready to respond to the enemy at any time
"Your Majesty, it is an honor for all of us that you can come to Qixian this time." The Golden Gun King patted his chest and said with great ambition, "You don't know something, but my brothers have been looking forward to your coming for a long time."
Yes, I fell into your trap this time. Shao Yan said coldly: "But before I came here, I heard that some people had already turned against them. I don't know if it's true?"
The King of Golden Gun tried his best to cover it up and said: "Where is it? Those are all the nonsense of those villains with bad intentions. What kind of person I, the King of Golden Gun, am, God knows, the earth knows, and the Emperor knows."
Shao Yan nodded and said: "I hope it is a villain who is causing trouble. If we put aside the relationship between monarch and minister, you and I are still sworn brothers. I should call you big brother. The reason why I leave Qixian County to you to take care of
, that’s because I can trust you. I always thought that I would never misjudge the wrong person in my life, but I’m afraid there will be an exception this time.”
"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean."
"I wonder if the Gun King still remembers the soldier whose eyes were gouged out just now?" Shao Yan did not allow him to answer, and said directly: "Before this, I have been wondering, how big a deal it is for a subordinate to collide with his superior.
, as for being subjected to such severe torture? Later I found out that all this was caused by that basket of hair. If I guessed correctly, you had accepted the Chu army’s adaptation two days ago, and that basket of hair
It was exactly what you men left behind when they shaved their heads, and I happened to see it, so you got angry and punished the soldier severely."
The King of the Golden Gun's face instantly darkened, thinking that this emperor is not simple. His only weakness is that he attaches too much importance to friendship. If not, how could I have deceived him?
Shao Yan added: "And the expansion of troops you are referring to is actually a small force that merged with the Chu army. It is not a people recruited from among the people. On the contrary, the executioners who massacred Yangzhuang are hiding in your team."
"
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, the Golden Gun King immediately showed a cunning face, clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful, wonderful, the best emperor is the best emperor, he is really well-deserved, you are absolutely right, my current
I am the conquest general of the Chu State. As long as I have your trump card in my hand, I will be indispensable for the kings, generals and ministers in the future."
"You are shameless." Zhang Huaide spat at him angrily and cursed: "King of the Golden Gun, King of the Golden Gun, you have really wasted the emperor's hard work on you. We thought that when we got here, we were at our own home.
, I didn’t expect you to be such a despicable person who goes back on your word.”
The King of Golden Guns laughed loudly and said: "You can scold me all you want, but you will soon become my prisoners." As he spoke, he held an empty glass tightly in his right hand, and with a sudden force, the glass clicked.
torn apart
Shao Yan knew that this was his signal, so he and Zhang Huaide pushed down the entire dining table as quickly as possible. With a 'bang' sound, the wine and delicacies suddenly spilled all over the floor, but they saw several pieces of food lying on the wooden shelf under the table.
The gleaming weapons were obviously prepared for this Hongmen Banquet.
The generals took off their hats in unison, revealing a typical Qing Dynasty braid. Without saying a word, they immediately reached out to draw their swords. Zhang Huaide picked up the empty plate in his hand and smashed it, hitting one of the generals in the face.
The man screamed in pain, and at the same time, the four masters slashed at several other generals with their swords at lightning speed...
The hall was surrounded by rebel soldiers. When the King of the Golden Gun gave the order, they immediately rushed over with their swords drawn. The fifty guards brought by Shao Yan overturned other tables one after another, then picked up the guys and rushed towards them...
Seeing the fierceness of the opponent's approach, the Golden Gun King feared that it would be difficult to deal with him. He retreated while shouting: "Come here, catch them. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."
'Bang, bang -' The door was kicked open, and more than a hundred rebel soldiers poured in from outside. Seeing this, Shao Yan quickly ordered everyone to break out. Unfortunately, several openings leading to the outside world had been blocked.
The rebels were blocked, and Shao Yan had no choice but to lead his men in a fierce fight with the rebels, trying to find a way out. However, as the number of rebels continued to increase, Donglin soldiers gradually felt that they were unable to do what they wanted.
The King of Golden Guns wielded his sword and launched a fierce attack on Shao Yan. Under the protection of the four masters, Shao Yan escaped his pursuit several times.
Without blinking, in a short while, his hands and face were covered with the blood of his former comrades.
After several fierce battles, the fifty warriors around Shao Yan were killed and injured. In the end, only a dozen were left. Zhang Huaide's body was also scarred. Although the four masters were good at martial arts, there were too many rebels.
, it is difficult for them to find the breakthrough point
"Your Majesty, stop making unnecessary resistance, you can't get out today." At this time, the King of the Golden Gun retreated behind the rebels, stood at the top and said arrogantly: "For the sake of our friendship as brothers,
Brother, I advise you to surrender. The situation in the Donglin Kingdom is over and it won’t last long. Don’t expect any great restoration of the country.”
Shao Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with such a villain, so he snorted and said: "King of the Golden Gun, I can tell you clearly that even if we can't get out today, we will never be captured without mercy. You'd better make a good deal with us first.
Prepare to be buried with me, otherwise it will not be honorable in the underworld."
"Hahaha..." The Golden Gun King laughed: "Your Majesty, you are on the verge of death, but you are still so funny, I really admire you."
Shao Yan sneered and said: "I am no longer your emperor, and I cannot be as high as you, a brother who is a seller and seeks glory."
Zhang Huaide rolled his eyes at the King of the Golden Gun and said fiercely: "King of the Golden Gun, has your conscience been eaten by a dog? If the emperor hadn't helped you, would you be where you are today?"
The Golden Gun King laughed heartily: "It's really ridiculous. Qixian County was originally Daliang's territory. I just changed it slightly. As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to roost. Since your country cannot provide me with an official position suitable for me, then I will choose another official position."
What's the crime in surrendering to another country?"
Shao Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Who can say such shameless words so brilliantly. Apart from you, the King of Golden Guns, I'm afraid there will be no other person in the world today. To be honest, let's talk about what you just said.
"A good bird chooses a tree to roost in." Comparing yourself to an animal is simply an insult to an animal. People like you are worse than an animal at all."
The King of the Golden Gun was so angry that his face was throbbing with veins, and he said angrily: "Your Majesty, General Qinling asked Wei Chen to invite you back no matter what. I hope you and your subordinates will put down their weapons, lest the swords become blind and hurt you."
Today, it’s this Qinling again. Damn it, the Princess of Changle always calls this old guy ‘Uncle Qin’, and all the Chu troops are afraid of him. It seems that this guy named Qin is indeed a person. Just thinking about it, Shao Yan
Suddenly I heard the sound of swords clashing outside the door.
After a while, a rebel soldier hurried to the King of the Golden Gun and said: "Master Jin, it's not good. Chang Yixiao led a large group of troops to attack the city. They threatened to see the emperor, and now they have reached the camp.
outside"
Shao Yan was overjoyed and thought to himself, no wonder he hasn't heard from this guy for so long. It turns out that he has arrived in Changqing City a long time ago.
The Golden Gun King was furious: "Fan Tong, didn't I tell you that no one can be allowed into the city without my permission?"
"But--"
"Stop being a coward, hurry up, send more troops from the rear camp, no matter what, we must drive Chang Yixiao out of the city."
"yes"
After the soldiers left, the King of Golden Gun showed a ferocious face and shouted sternly: "Come here, arrest all of them"
Faced with the heavy siege of the rebels, Shao Yan could not help but lead the remaining people to break out of the encirclement. In order to protect the emperor, more than a dozen warriors finally fell into a pool of blood. In the blink of an eye, only Zhang Huaide and the four major figures were left beside Shao Yan.
Master, seeing the rebels continue to shrink the encirclement, Shao Yan and others could only retreat step by step. Chang Yixiao outside the camp was also unable to fight in because there were too many rebels.
At this critical moment, an old woman's cry was heard outside the door, "My son, the king of guns, please save me quickly."
The King of Golden Guns suddenly raised his head, only to see a young girl holding a knife and holding an old woman hostage. She calmly crossed the threshold and walked in. The woman was over fifty years old, with gray hair, a little hunched back, and a very serious look on her face.
Frustrated, the girl was none other than Xiang Hongyu’s sister Mu Ying
Shao Yan was startled, but he heard Mu Ying bite her lips and said coldly: "King of the Golden Gun, your mother is in my hands. If you don't want anything to happen to her, let the emperor go immediately."
The King of Golden Guns said angrily: "You, who are you? You used an old man to threaten me. It's really despicable."
Mu Ying snorted coldly: "No matter how despicable you are, you are not despicable. The emperor treats you well, but you take advantage of the emperor's trust in you and use these despicable methods."
"What do you want?" King of the Golden Gun said as he asked his men to withdraw, for fear that something bad would happen to his mother.
"I don't want to repeat your boring question again." Mu Ying frowned and said angrily: "As long as you let the emperor go, I promise not to hurt your mother."
