It was said that it was too late, but it was faster than that of Fu Tingye's arrow.
Everyone was so frightened by this arrow that they almost lost their souls, because the arrow... shot straight in the direction of the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother!" At the critical moment, Zi Wan jumped in front of the Queen Mother. In an instant, the arrow sank into the ground... The ground under her feet was buzzing.
It turned out that he didn't want to shoot the Queen Mother, but just shot the arrow as a warning
Zheng Shuwen was so angry that she trembled all over: "My dear Fu Tingye, I must make you look good!"
And within a second or two of this interruption, the hot air balloon had risen to a distance of half a person's height. Fu Tingye was guarding inside. The guards in the front row were hesitant. Although he had no arrows in his hand, he still had enough. No deterrent.
Some bold ones approached, but before their hands even touched the edge of the hot air balloon, they were blocked by a sword light. A closer look revealed that Fu Tingye already had a long sword in his hand.
"It seems that there are quite a lot of people who are not afraid of death." Fu Tingye shouted coldly and swept the sword light again. The two guards who fell in response were instantly killed.
Dead people...
Finally, I saw blood.
In an instant, no one came forward.
"Waste! They are all waste!" Zheng Shuwen shouted from behind: "Come on! There are so many people who can't even deal with one Fu Tingye, so what's the use of keeping you here! What's the use!"
The guards were ashamed and once again mustered up the courage to charge.
It’s just...it seems like it’s not high enough!
The hot air balloon has risen slowly, beyond the reachable distance.
Li Jingnan came to Hua Qingxue happily: "Escaped! Finally escaped!"
Hua Qingxue was also very happy and couldn't help but stretched out her arms to hold him in her arms: "So you suffered so much in the palace and were imprisoned in the imperial study."
At such a young age, it is not easy to shoulder the responsibility of the emperor, and now he has to be imprisoned by his own mother.
Is this something he can bear
When Li Jingnan heard what she said, his happy smile suddenly dimmed: "It's okay, it's okay. Didn't you come to save me? Now, no one can imprison me..."
This was something he was hesitant to say.
Hua Qingxue naturally knew his worries, so she reached out and patted his back: "No, no." She whispered, this comforting word was more like anesthetizing herself.
Fu Tingye would not do such a thing, probably not...
The two of them seemed to be reunited after a long absence, and they were so happy that they only saw each other, completely forgetting that there were two other people in the hot air balloon.
"Cough cough cough cough." Xiaodouzi suddenly coughed and tried hard to divert the two people's attention.
"Xiaodouzi, why are you so arrogant!" Li Jingnan cursed, then he reluctantly let go of Hua Qingxue and glared at Xiaodouzi: "If I had known you were so annoying, I wouldn't have taken you with me."
Xiaodouzi lowered his head aggrievedly, not daring to say another word. The atmosphere was a little strange.
Hua Qingxue was the first to encounter Fu Tingye's angry eyes, as well as the sudden coldness around her body.
"General, are you... uncomfortable?" Hua Qingxue pretended not to understand, looking innocent.
Fu Tingye suddenly came over, impartially, and squeezed between the two of them, but ignored Hua Qingxue and looked at Li Jingnan: "Actually, we are not out of danger yet. Your mother can still catch people."
"Ah?" Li Jingnan was slightly startled: "What can I do?"
Fu Tingye motioned downwards and asked Li Jingnan to see for himself.
The railing for carrying people in the hot air balloon was a bit high, and Li Jingnan was not tall enough to see below, so he stopped.
Xiaodouzi understood and quickly came over to serve as a human bench. Li Jingnan stepped on his back and stood up, finally being able to see what was going on below.
It didn't matter what he saw, but he was shocked.
In the open space below, all the guards with swords were withdrawn and replaced by archers. They knelt on the ground densely, and the direction of the arrow looked like a hot air balloon.
"This..." Li Jingnan gritted his teeth.
Indeed, Zheng Shuwen should have sent archers a long time ago, but just now she was so angry that she thought the guards could catch someone, but she didn't want them to escape.
But at this moment, the hot air balloon has not risen to a certain height, and is still within the range of the archer.
"This..." Li Jingnan's face instantly turned pale: "..."
Hua Qingxue looked at it and took a breath. When she came here, she had already exchanged blows with the archers when she passed Prince Ning's Mansion. Prince Ning naturally did not send archers to shoot them to avoid suspicion, and Xiao Han couldn't shoot them. It was just a murder by a dummy, but the Queen Mother had enough reasons.
They held the emperor hostage, and it was natural for the palace guards to shoot the rebels.
It's just Li Jingnan... If Li Jingnan is always shot after the chaos...
Hua Qingxue didn't dare to imagine the consequences, but she couldn't make up her mind, so she subconsciously looked at Fu Tingye.
Every time he faced a desperate situation, he always found a way.
"Your Majesty, what do you think we should do now?" Fu Tingye ignored Hua Qingxue's eyes, and his aura suddenly darkened.
Li Jingnan was still standing on Xiaodouzi's back, but did not answer Fu Tingye.
"Queen Mother! Are you executing me as well?" Li Jingnan asked loudly.
Zheng Shuwen stood among a group of guards holding shields, with a cold face and cold eyes: "Your Majesty, are you questioning mother? When you followed them, did you ever think that you would put your mother in such a dilemma? situation?"
She was angry, very angry.
Fu Tingye dared to shoot arrows to scare her, and his son also helped him shoot his own bodyguard.
A biological son is not as good as someone else’s adopted son.
This made her feel sad from the bottom of her heart as a mother.
"Mother, I have no intention of going against you. I am doing this all for the sake of Daqi and a better country in the future. I always remember my father's instructions before his death. Don't you want me to fulfill my father's last wish?"
"..." Zheng Shuwen fell silent, and Li Jingnan suddenly mentioned his father... that man... It had been a long, long time since he had remembered what it was like to be a queen in the past.
Haha... isn't that man obsessed with witchcraft and Taoism all day long
As a queen and the majestic lord of the Sixth Palace, the number of times I saw him throughout the year was less than a fraction of that of a Taoist priest.
The whole country was silent and the court officials tried their best to remonstrate, but they could not shake the late emperor's consciousness at all.
It can be said that that period of time was the most lonely and lonely time for Zheng Shuwen. If it were not for the company of that person...
If not...
Zheng Shuwen thought of this, and her thoughts were instantly interrupted by Zi Wan's reminder.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is deliberately delaying this matter. They have raised the level again. If they delay it any longer, they will exceed the range of the archers."
What? !
Zheng Shuwen immediately became vigilant, looking at the huge foreign object in the distance and Fu Tingye, who was looking down at her from above, and decisively issued an order: "Everyone listens to the order and prepares..."
"Queen Mother..." Li Jingnan didn't expect that the Queen Mother would actually give an order, and was surprised. But the next moment, he was suddenly held from behind. Not only that, a cold light flashed before his eyes, and a long sword was already at his throat.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. In a desperate situation, this is what a humble minister can do." Fu Tingye explained to Li Jingnan in a suppressed voice, and then, using force on his wrist, half of Li Jingnan's body was stretched out.
The situation above was clearly seen by those below.
"Ah! Queen Mother, look!" Zi Wan was so frightened that all the blood drained from her face, and she covered her mouth in panic.
When Zheng Shuwen saw this, she was not panicked, but said coldly: "Look, the ambition of the wolf is finally revealed. Why can't my son understand the painstaking efforts of his mother?"
"Mother." Li Jingnan saw Zheng Shuwen's thin figure stagnant in the wind in the distant sky, and called out helplessly.
That mother-in-law sound contains too much emotion.
Compassion, admiration, admiration and worry made Zheng Shuwen's heart soften all of a sudden.
She clenched her palms unconsciously, and her long nails dug into the flesh, but she didn't even know it.
"Queen Mother!" Zi Wan knelt on the ground with a thud: "Queen Mother, please save the Emperor."
Zheng Shuwen's body was trembling because of her anger, and she was swaying in the wind: "Why don't I want to save him... But..."
The cold sword in Fu Tingye's hand lowered Li Jingnan's neck: "The Queen Mother, I am not willing to hurt the emperor. As long as the Queen Mother does not order the arrow to be released, I will ensure the emperor's safety."
"Fu Tingye!" Zheng Shuwen could no longer control the raging anger in her heart and cursed: "What good will this do to you? It will only hurt both sides. If there is even half a point of difference between the emperor and the emperor, I will take your life, and the one beside you." Woman, do you think I dare not do this?"
Fu Tingye's eyes were wild and narrowed slightly: "Of course the Queen Mother dares, but the Emperor..."
As he spoke, the sharp sword in his hand moved half an inch. In an instant, bright and dark red blood dripped down the tip of the sword, and the warm snow dropped on the ground in front of the Queen Mother.
It was like a huge irony that immediately struck the Queen Mother's heart. She stared closely at the blood solidifying on the floor, and her heart stopped for three seconds.
"Queen Mother, Fu Tingye really knows how to take action, otherwise... you should take back your life, right?" Zi Yuan rushed up and grabbed the Queen Mother's legs to persuade her.
The Queen Mother hit the ground with her backhand: "Trash! You are trash too!"
In fact, what Zi Wan said was not what she was thinking. The words "trash" were not so much scolding her as scolding herself.
waste! Zheng Shuwen is really a waste!
"Queen Mother, this..." The leader of the archer guards asked for orders.
Zheng Shuwen suddenly closed her eyes and uttered two words through gritted teeth: "Withdraw troops."
"This..." The leader seemed a little stunned, but still obeyed the order.
In a split second, all the archers who were ready retreated.
The people on the hot air balloon also breathed a sigh of relief.
Hua Qingxue stepped forward, pulled Fu Tingye and Li Jingnan away, and quickly checked Li Jingnan's injuries: "Li Jingnan, are you okay?"
There was no blood on Li Jingnan's face, but he pretended to look at her calmly and shook his head: "It's okay. I know that the general also acts according to the situation and adopts expedient measures."
Hua Qingxue frowned slightly, and she felt distressed by the sudden indifference and alienation from Li Jingnan.
Fu Tingye stood aside and stared at the two of them silently, and said lightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."
