Jing Ling was dumbfounded, unable to move for a long time.
"...catch...catch him!" The crowd finally regained their consciousness at this moment, and shouted in frightened anger: "Catch him!"
The soldiers rushed forward, and the surroundings were in chaos. In the background of the sky full of beacon smoke, Jing Ling saw Xie Yun turn around and smile at him.
——Xie Yun is no longer the soft and beautiful young man in white clothes Shengxue in his memory, but this smile is filled with a little regret, and there is a bit of youthful escape and complacency, as if he is also very proud of the perfect performance just now .
Immediately afterwards, he opened his arms, like a falling white bird, and fell on his back to the plain!
Jing Ling shouted, "Xie Yun!"
He rushed to the side of the pile of walls, but saw the white figure disappear into the billowing black smoke in a flash.
At the same time, on the battlefield, Shan Chao turned his horse's head amid Li Jingye's loud voice, and galloped away against the flood-like flow of people!
boom!
Smoke and dust rose everywhere, Xie Yun fell to the ground, and spears immediately fell from all directions. Xie Yun stood up, raised his arms, and snatched away a soldier's spear, whistling and spinning like flowing clouds and flowing water, screaming and falling when the strong wind came, and everyone fell backwards with blood spurting from their mouths and noses.
"Give Way-"
The black horse tore two bloody waves in the sea of people. Shan Chao pulled the reins fiercely, and the horse roared and raised its head. Then, as the horse's hooves stomped back to the ground, Shan Chao leaned over and grabbed Xie Yun's waist, and volleyed On horseback!
"Let you wait for me in the restaurant..."
Xie Yun threw the spear conveniently, only to hear Shan Chao's deep voice piercing his chest, covering the surrounding fights: "Why are you gone when I went back to look for you?"
Xie Yun didn't answer for a long time, the horse under his crotch was galloping like lightning, and the battlefield with flying loess flew past him. After a long time, he spoke gently: "The emperor is imprisoned in the Zichen Palace. If you go now, there is still time to catch up with the empress." .”

The inside and outside of the imperial city were filled with cavalry from the Xiaoqi Battalion. When the news came that Yu Wenhu had been captured alive, there was an explosion inside and outside the palace gate. It just so happened that the Beiya imperial guards who hadn't waited for Xie Yun outside the city gate were extremely anxious. They followed King Qin's vanguard to attack, and in the extreme chaos, they confusedly surrendered.
After all, Beiya has been loyal to Tianhou for a long time. Although Xie Yun has been under confinement during this period, this elite imperial army has been suppressed repeatedly, but it has not yet reached the point of standing out against Tianhou. Now they met the Xiaoqi battalion who had a lot of old grudges, and they were already fighting again, so Ma Xin and the others did not stop doing anything, went into the Beiya arsenal, brought out firearms and hand crossbows, and imitated the Huaihua general next door to fight King Qin. Under the banner, he rushed into the imperial city in one go.
The Xiaoqiying battalion fought against the fine soldiers and strong horses of Beiya, and at the same time fought against the mighty King Qin's army. In addition, the people's hearts were already scattered, and the army was soon defeated. The palace gate finally collapsed after several blows.
"kill!"
The city was full of flames of war, thick smoke covered the sun, and the huge imperial city immediately turned into a field of blood and fire. Shan Chao led his army into the Daming Palace and went straight to the Zichen Palace. A bodyguard rushed out in front of him trying to stop him, but Shan Chao had no fear, so he rode his horse directly into it, and beheaded seven or eight enemy soldiers as soon as he met him. Down!
Xie Yun grabbed the armor on Shan Chao's back, and when he saw the blood rushing towards his face, he turned to avoid it.
Unexpectedly, his movement was so large that even Shan Chao, who was fighting, could feel it, and immediately hit his horse and yelled: "Drive!"
The rather humane horse suddenly sped up and rushed out of the battle formation like lightning. Hundreds of cavalry rushed up behind him, and the ground was slightly shaken by the shouts of killing and the impact of the swordsmen.
Xie Yun asked sensitively: "What's wrong?"
"I'm used to rushing on the battlefield, I forgot you were behind." Shan Chao said coldly, and before Xie Yun could answer, he rushed up the steps with his men and horses!
Bang!
The tightly closed palace door was torn apart, and the door bolt flew out in a whirling motion, knocking down the marble screen. Several prime ministers in the hall stood up in shock at the same time, but saw a general outside the hall gate getting off his horse, his vigorous figure against the light, striding into the Zichen Hall.
Zhang Wenguan stood tightly in front of the sick bed, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Rebel...rebel! Dare to kill the king?! I will fight with you!"
A few prime ministers with gray beards responded generously, but the next moment, the general stopped in the hall, showing a stern and handsome face, kneeling on one knee: "Chen Shanchao came late to save you, Your Majesty forgive me."
The hall fell into a momentary silence, and the emperor poked his head out from behind Zhang Wenguan tremblingly. In just over a month, he became haggard and aged a lot. After a long time, he uttered a trembling and hoarse choked voice: "Shan Qing is worthy of me!"
Several prime ministers cried bitterly.
"Inform the Duke of England that Shengjia is safe and sound, and send a thousand soldiers to guard the Zichen Palace."
"Where is the Queen of Heaven? Protect King Zhou and King Ji, and block Danfeng Gate!"
"It is strictly forbidden to disturb the people and plunder the palace, and those who violate it will be executed!"
Military orders were issued to the Zichen Palace one after another, and the emperor finally felt relieved, and ordered all civil and military officials to come to escort him, and was tremblingly supported by the prime minister himself to lean against the couch, took a few sips of medicine, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the corner of the hall behind Shan Chao There was a person standing there leisurely with arms folded.
The emperor became suspicious: "Who is there?"
Xie Yunshi walked out abruptly, bowed his body, and said with a smile: "See Your Majesty."
"—You! Why are you here!" After a few crisp bangs, the emperor overturned the pill and said angrily, "Shan Qing, Shan Qing! Come and drag this traitor out, come and..."
Shan Chao glared at the calm Xie Yun, took half a step forward, and blocked him behind him.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Commander Xie has long since abandoned the dark and turned to the bright. During this time, he has been imprisoned in the palace by the Queen of Heaven. Just now at Mingde Gate, Commander Xie risked his life to help King Qin open the city gate. I can only rush to rescue him in time." drive..."
The emperor was still dubious, his eyes were full of vigilance, but Xie Yun just smiled and said nothing, his eyes fell on Shan Chao's solid back.
"Great general!" At this moment, the soldiers rushed in from outside the hall and shouted: "Two thousand rebels guarding the Queen of Heaven are coming here!"
Everyone in the hall was terrified, and the emperor's wrinkled face suddenly turned into ashes.
"It's okay." Xie Yun suddenly said in a deep voice: "The elite imperial army of the Beiya is guarding outside the hall at the moment, and the hundreds of cavalry brought by General Shan are enough to delay the rebellion for a while. Right now, most of the imperial city outside Under the control of King Qin's army, as long as the British Duke's reinforcements arrive in time, they will be able to wipe out the chaotic party, so don't panic."
He paused, turned around and walked outside the hall: "General Shan is in the hall to personally protect the holy car, and wait for the minister to command the soldiers to fight..."
With a soft snap, Shan Chao grabbed Xie Yun's wrist.
Xie Yun frowned slightly, but saw Shan Chao drew out the Shang Fang sword from his waist, and knelt down on one knee facing the emperor on the sick bed: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven killed Zhongliang, swallows pecked at the emperor's grandson, imprisoned the emperor, and plotted to endanger the country; If you don’t cut the weeds and get rid of the roots, I’m afraid your Majesty will cause endless harm. I’m going to die now, and I’m willing to use Shang Fang’s sword to kill the Queen of Heaven outside the palace, please make an order!”
Every word was resounding, and everyone in the hall was moved.
The sound of killing came from far and near, and fierce fighting sounded outside the hall. The impact of weapons and the neighing of horses came from all directions into the magnificent Zichen Hall. The emperor took a few breaths, but to his surprise, he didn't agree immediately, but shook his head slowly: "Not busy. I want to... order the crown prince first."
After a few plops, the prime ministers all knelt on the ground, and Xie Yun's expression changed slightly behind Shan Chao.
"My son, Li Xian, is handsome in appearance and beautiful in talent. He is honored by the ceremony and obedient to the public opinion. I would like to tell the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country that I will bestow a book of treasures and make him the crown prince. He will be in the East Palace..."
The emperor coughed again and again, Zhang Wenguan took a few steps on his knees and said sadly: "Your Majesty!"
The emperor waved his hand:
"General Shan Chao of Huaihua, noble character, loyal and loyal, rescued him from danger several times, and made great contributions to our country and society in the Tang Dynasty. Now he is specially granted the title of Ping Wang with a different surname, and he is also the supervisor of the palace. Arrive at the Xuanwu Gate and set up camps on the left and right, here you go!"
—Even Shan Chao was a little taken aback, King Ping
He actually became a king with a different surname
However, after the momentary daze, there was a deep sense of self-mockery—if he grew up in the capital, he would probably have a worthless prince's hat right now.
However, if the emperor knew his life experience at this juncture, he might not be overjoyed to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but would turn pale with fright, and then try to get rid of this huge hidden danger of himself.
"Your Majesty," Shan Chao lowered his head deeply, his eyes fell on the dark gold brick in front of him calmly, and said, "I can't accept the order."
The emperor wondered: "Why?"
"The only thing I want in my life is to go back to Mobei. The wealth and honor in Chang'an are fleeting. After this incident, please allow me to untie my sword and become an official. I will be very grateful." After finishing speaking, Shan Chao kowtowed neatly.
Now he became the emperor in a daze: "I originally wanted to love Qing to assist the government, but love... love Qing, why is this?!"
"Shan Chao's life experience is secretive, and he tried to usurp power in vain. Your majesty still dares to appoint him as the assistant king with a different surname. Don't you want this country?!"
Everyone looked back at the same time, only to see Tianhou push open the crumbling palace door, the luxurious palace skirt was covered with blood, and the last guard beside her had an arrow stuck in his back, and suddenly fell down spurting blood!
Footsteps boomed on the steps outside Zichen Hall, Ma Xin, Wu Ting and others rushed in murderously, shouting: "Your Majesty, be careful!" "Commander, be careful!"
Everyone stood up in shock, the emperor's eyebrows jumped violently a few times, and before he could make a sound, he saw a magnificent cold light from the golden palace, and it was Shang Fang's sword clanging out of its sheath.
Shan Chao's movements were so fast that he could hardly be seen clearly, only his afterimage was left in front of everyone's eyes, and then he appeared in front of Tianhou!
— This sword is actually very dangerous, because the emperor has not ordered to kill the Queen of Heaven, and Shan Chao's move is arbitrarily and recklessly, which is no different from disrespect.
However, no one could react at that moment, even Tianhou herself could only feel the cold light coming down from her head, and it was close in front of her eyes in an instant—
Bang!
The sound of gold and stone clashing was deafening and echoed for a long time.
The sword's edge was an inch in front of Tianhou's eyebrows, and Shan Chao's movements stopped. Following his gaze, Shang Fang's sword was stopped by a blood-stained steel knife, and the person holding the knife was Xie Yun.
When the blood splattered five steps, Xie Yun grabbed Ma Xin's saber and strode forward, blocking the fatal sword!
"..." Shan Chao stared deeply at Xie Yun with his eagle-like gaze, and asked in a low voice with a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Why?"
