Wu Mei, Li Hong, Li Xian, Li Zhe and many court officials turned around and looked behind them involuntarily when they heard the nervous female voice.
At this moment, Fang Muqing was seen holding a thunderbolt in his arms, looking nervous and panicked. He was holding a fire stick with bright and uncertain flames. He looked at Li Xian who had lost an arm and said firmly.
Not far away from Fang Muqing, Bai Chun was also holding a sky thunder in his arms, which he had obviously snatched from Fang Muqing's hand just now. At this moment, the other hand was holding a Yan-wing crossbow, aiming at Fang Muqing. green.
"Bai Chun put down the crossbow." Wu Mei said hurriedly as she saw the two women standing not far apart and looking at each other, like a drowning person getting a raft to escape.
In this way, she no longer has to watch Li Hong and Li Xian brothers fight each other, and she no longer has to watch Li Xian suffer. The heart-rending scream just now seemed to be caught in the pit of her heart. The pain in her buttocks had never happened before, and she didn't want to experience it again.
"Yes, Queen." Without any hesitation, Bai Chun quickly put down the crossbow in his hand, and then quickly handed the Tianlei in his arms to Mang Zhong and took him away.
"You hand Tian Lei to Bai Chun, and I guarantee that you and Li Xian will leave here." Wu Mei didn't wait for Li Hong to speak, looked at the flickering flames, and said again.
At this moment, Fang Muqing saw everyone looking at her, and for some reason, her heart became more at ease. She glanced sadly at her husband who was missing an arm, and a string of tears instantly fell from her beautiful eyes. It flowed out and wetted the whole cheek.
Then he showed a miserable smile, looked at Wu Mei and shook his head: "Mother, I'm sorry, I don't want your promise, what I want is the promise of the emperor brother." Fang Muqing tightened the fire seal in his hand and said firmly .
Wu Mei slowly turned her head to look at Li Hong, including all the courtiers, royal family members, and foreign envoys in the main hall, all looked at Li Hong.
At this time, everyone knew that neither the unconscious majesty nor the empress was as useful as Li Hong's words.
Nowadays, although this is a top priority related to the stability of the Tang Dynasty, it is also a brotherly grudge between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Pei Li Xian.
"Okay, as long as you hand over the sky thunder to me, I will never hurt you again." Li Hong threw the horizontal knife in his hand to Wang Lou and looked at Fang Muqing and said.
"You have to let him go." Fang Muqing looked at Li Hong and shook his head firmly.
"Tell me all your conditions." Just as Li Hong was about to move forward, he saw Fang Muqing, who was holding Tianlei and was nervous, take two steps back in a hurry.
"Don't come over." Fang Muqing was afraid of Li Hong from the bottom of his heart.
As the saying goes, bystanders know better than anyone else how smart and cunning Li Hong is. Her husband Li Xian has laid plans at all levels, from Jiangnan to Yunzhong, from Luoyang to Chang'an, but he has never been able to fight against Li Hong. Zhongzhan has the upper hand.
If he hadn't seen his father being shot and killed by Bai Chun, and then grabbed a thunderbolt and held it in his arms, my husband would have faced another tidal defeat today.
"The world is so big that there isn't much room for you. Li Xian was so smart that he was confused all his life. The connections he could use have now been destroyed. He used all the remnants of Tubo and Turks that he could use. Even if you want him to leave alone, with his current virtue, how far can he go alone if there is no one around to take care of him? How about I not kill him and punish you? "Li Hongting? He stepped down, looked at Fang Muqing and said.
"Leave me alone, light the thunder, and let them bury you and me together. This Tang Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of you, Li Hong, and you are the eternal sinner of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Xian stood up from the ground and looked at Li Hong fiercely, roared.
Fang Muqing looked at Li Xian who stood up, his face a little better than before, but the white gauze wrapped around his shoulders had now turned scarlet.
"Don't come over either!" Fang Muqing screamed, looking at Li Xian who was about to walk towards her, she suddenly stopped her.
After Li Xian heard Fang Muqing's words, he was about to speed up and rush towards Fang Muqing when he felt pain in his shoulder, and Li Hong's hateful face appeared next to him.
Looking at Fang Muqing's appearance, Li Hong felt that his guess was correct. Fang Muqing wanted to die to save Li Xian's life.
It's hard to see that Fang Muqing, a weak and gentle man, is so affectionate and righteous that he is willing to die in order for Li Xian to survive.
Looking at Li Xian being held by Li Hong, Fang Muqing's face flashed with deep worry. However, seeing that Li Xian was not restrained by Li Hong, but only holding him back to prevent him from coming forward, Fang Muqing said: " I believe you promised me, but... I have a condition. As long as you agree, I will hand over Tianlei to you immediately. "
"I can agree to you no matter what the conditions are, but the other people here are innocent. Li Xian came for me. Can you let all these people go out now? I will stay here." Li Hong didn't know that Fang Muqing Hulu What kind of medicine was being sold there, and I was afraid that she would not be able to control it. If her hand shook and ignited the thunder that day, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Don't listen to him. Lao Wu has always been cunning and scheming. If you listen to him, we will all die here." Li Xian yelled again.
"Bang!" In front of Fang Muqing, Li Hong was not polite at all and hit Li Xian on the cheek.
"Ah." Wu Mei and Fang Muqing exclaimed at the same time.
As for Li Xian, who has one arm, it is difficult for him to control the balance of his body. Even with both arms, he would probably be knocked down when faced with Li Hong's slap, not to mention that he only has one arm at this time. .
Then the whole person suddenly fell to the ground, and his cheeks instantly became swollen.
"If it weren't for you, how could the royal family have such scandals! You have destroyed the harmony of the royal family again and again, making everyone in the world see the royal family's jokes. Now, you have to rely on a woman to save your life. How can you still Why are you talking nonsense?" Li Hong bent down and grabbed Li Xian's chest, pulled him up from the ground like a dog, and shouted sternly.
"Don't hit him again, or I will light this thunder now." Fang Muqing saw his cheeks swelling rapidly, and said hurriedly: "I promise you, I can let these people leave now."
"No... no, you were fooled by Mu Qing." Li Xian's mouth was swollen and it was quite difficult to speak. Even Fang Muqing couldn't hear clearly what he said.
"Okay, as long as you let these people leave, I, Li Hong, will do whatever you want!" Li Hong's eyes were sincere and powerful as he looked at Fang Muqing and said coldly.
Fang Muqing looked at everyone, and then nodded, agreeing with the others to leave the main hall.
"Your Highness, why don't you let me..." Officials such as Pei Xingjian, Shangguan Yi, Cui Yuanzong, Li Qiao, Di Renjie, etc. could not bear Li Hong's personal danger and wanted to replace Li Hong and become Fang Muqing's hostage.
Even Wu Mei had a worried look on her face at the moment, her lips moved but she didn't say anything.
"Are you worthy?" Li Hong looked at Shangguan Yi and others and said coldly.
"but… ."
"Get out." Li Hong said impatiently.
Then the courtiers surrounded Wu Mei, carried Li Zhi, who had been unconscious, and slowly walked out of the main hall.
As everyone left slowly, Bai Chun still stood there motionless. Even if Wu Mei called her, she acted as if she couldn't hear him and stood there motionless.
Wu Mei walked to the door and was a little surprised why Bai Chun didn't come out? Did she think that Li Hong had no way to escape
But when Wu Mei, prompted by Di Renjie, looked at the door and saw Fang Xianzhong's body still lying prone, and coupled with Di Renjie's guess, Wu Mei suddenly understood Bai Chun's intention.
So I had to sigh helplessly, what a sin.
But Li Hong looked at Bai Chun strangely, wondering why she chose not to go out, but in his opinion, Bai Chun probably wanted to accompany him.
But what surprised him was that just after everyone filed out, Fang Muqing looked at the empty hall, and then focused on Bai Chun.
"You are very smart, you actually know what I am thinking." Fang Muqing said sadly as tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Here you go." Bai Chun turned over and took out the Yan-wing crossbow, placed it on the table next to the bed not far from Fang Muqing, and then stood aside motionless and said: " Kill to pay for life, debt to pay for money, now can you return the thunder in your hand to His Highness? "
"Why did you kill my father? Although he is guilty, you shouldn't kill him!" Fang Muqing looked at the Yan-winged Crossbow, then looked at Bai Chun, who had a dull expression, and murmured.
"He's going to rush in, and I'm going to stop him." Bai Chun never spoke much, and even now, he still said concisely.
While the two women were talking, especially when Bai Chun placed the Yan-wing crossbow on the table, Li Hong's eyes slowly moved from the Yan-wing crossbow to the thin mattress on the sleeping couch. The mattress was damp, and the hidden compartment where the thunder was hidden was also damp.
Li Hong's expression became a little confused, and he couldn't help but look at the door behind him, and his mother refused to leave.
Besides Wang Lou and others, beside the queen mother, there was also Li Dan, who she thought wanted to exercise her mind, who was actually among them. At this time, the hem of her robe was still stained with moisture.
Li Hong looked at Li Dan's robe, then at the hidden compartment, and then locked his eyes on Tianlei in Fang Muqing's arms.
Unlike the sky mines prepared for Cui Zhibian and others' battleships, the sky mines in Taiyi City were very strictly waterproofed. The sky mine leads here were still not waterproofed.
Therefore, the sky thunder in Fang Muqing's hand may be difficult to ignite if it has wet marks.
After thinking of this, a sneer appeared at the corner of Li Hong's mouth. He ignored Fang Muqing's wary eyes and warnings, pushed Li Xian away who was blocking him, and strode towards Fang Muqing.
"Li Hong, what are you going to do?" Wu Mei saw Li Hong suddenly walking towards Fang Muqing, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit, refusing to listen to others' attempts to stop him, so in desperation, she followed him into the hall. He stopped and looked at Li Hong and shouted.
