Wu Yanling was so furious that every inch of her body seemed to be filled with gunpowder. Hundreds of days and nights of hatred, deception, unwillingness, and humiliation were ignited at this moment.
The two people embracing each other were immersed in the sadness of separation and were unaware of it.
After a while, Jiang Hongwen whispered: "Songyin, I have to go."
Shi Songyin felt like he was being struck by lightning, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Go ahead and be careful. I'll wait for you and Qing Guan to come back."
"rest assured!"
Jiang Hongwen let go of his hand, glanced across her smooth face, and kissed her lips without hesitation, then turned around and strode away.
Loosening his arms, Shi Songyin stroked his heart and took two steps after him. Until the slender figure disappeared, he covered his face and burst into tears.
She didn't notice at all that a person rushed out from under the big tree a few feet away, the dagger in his hand flashing coldly, and stabbing straight at him.
"ah-"
Jiang Hongwen felt a chill on his back, turned around and ran wildly.
Many years later, Jiang Hongyan recalled this scene, and his heart was still filled with unstoppable pain.
He saw the woman he loved, like a broken leaf, slowly floating on the ground, with blood on her plain white dress like the sun.
But the crazy woman still held the dagger in both hands and stabbed the fallen leaf fiercely.
One knife, two knifes...
Blood-colored, sharp needles pricked Jiang Hongwen's eyes. He began to run quickly, pulled out the long sword behind him, and threw it out with all his strength.
"Ba"
The dagger fell to the ground, and Wu Yanling's hands fell at the same time. Wu Yanling rolled on the ground several times in pain, and then fainted.
Everyone who came after hearing the news was shocked by this tragic scene.
Jiang Hongwen violently picked up Shi Songyin, who was lying in a pool of blood, and shouted sternly, "Songyin, Songyin... Qian Fu... Qian Fu, save her, save her quickly..."
Qian Fu staggered over and rushed towards Shi Songyin's pulse with three fingers. His expression changed and he shouted: "Quick, Master Qi, get the person in quickly, quick, quick, quick... call Cao Zi'ang... quick!" "
At dusk, the wind blew violently.
The five gates of the palace are heavily guarded by the imperial guards. The fifth military camp took the lead and rushed from the garrison to the capital early, quickly occupying the east, south, west and north gates of the capital.
In this way, two barriers were formed in the capital, keeping the prince out of the capital.
The wind is roaring!
The prince led the troops of the Golden Armor and Shenji Battalion to the city and formed a confrontation with the fifth military camp.
Zhao Jingyan was riding on the horse, looking up at the high city wall, her eyes narrowed, as deep as the black sea, with hidden murderous intent.
"Prince, let's attack the city!" Gao Xiaofeng stood behind him wearing armor.
"Wait a minute!" Zhao Jingyan said in a cold tone.
Ever since he could remember, this imperial city had been like an old man, standing firm despite the wind and rain.
It hasn't changed in a hundred years.
Everyone in this city is his people. The moment he put on the prince's clothes and stepped into the imperial city, he swore in his heart that he would create a prosperous age so that thousands of his people would have food to eat, clothing to wear, the elderly to be taken care of, and the young to be educated. .
And now—
When the two armies confront Lei, there will be casualties, and his heart is bleeding.
Gao Xiaofeng saw the prince's expression and whispered: "Prince, choose the lesser of two powers. This is not the time for women to be merciful."
Zhao Jingyan closed her eyes, looked back at him, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not going to attack. Firstly, I'm waiting for news about Hongwen and the Three Thousand Battalion. Secondly..."
"What's the second thing?"
"Secondly, we have relatives in this city. Weining Hou Zhenming is not an upright person. He entered the capital before us, I'm afraid..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person pressing down on the city wall, Zhao Jingyan. Gao Xiaofeng looked up, anger gushing out of his eyes.
The visitor was Gao Min, Gao Xiaofeng's sister, the crown princess appointed by the late emperor. She was wearing a water-red Suzhou embroidery, a hundred flowers, purple and gold, and was pushed to the city wall, with tears streaming down her face.
Gao Xiaofeng was furious and yelled, "You are really a despicable person."
When Gao Min saw the two people on the horse at the foot of the city, his face lit up and he cried out sadly: "Brother, Prince, please save me, please save me!"
Zhao Jingyan said angrily: "Zhen Ming, what do you mean?"
Zhen Ming raised her head and smiled, "This is a generous gift for you, Crown Prince. If we attack the city, she will die."
"Prince, I don't want to die. I'm so young and I can't die. Please save me and tell them to retreat, retreat..."
"Prince, did you hear that? Your woman is telling you to stand down."
Zhao Jingyan narrowed her eyes slightly, but the cold light was shining on the high wall, and her voice was faint, "Xiao Feng, what would I do if it were you?"
Gao Xiaofeng stretched out his hand to touch the sword, feeling unbearable pain in his heart. He felt his limbs on one side and the imperial power on the other, but he had no way out.
If the skin is gone, how will the hair be attached
If the prince cannot ascend the throne, let alone Gao Min, the entire Gao family will be dead.
"Prince, if it were me, I would attack the city."
Zhao Jingyan looked back at him, feeling a twinge of guilt in her heart.
He only met Gao Min once, and he didn't even see clearly what she looked like. Without this difficulty, she would have been his righteous wife.
He would promise her and her family a lifetime of prosperity, and would give her and her family unlimited power, but he would never touch her. This was what he had planned all along.
But now...
He sighed softly, this is the price paid for glory and power. I'm sorry, Miss Gao.
Zhao Jingyan reached out and patted Gao Xiaofeng on the shoulder, "I feel guilty towards her, but I will never feel guilty towards the Gao family, don't worry."
Gao Xiaofeng had tears in his eyes, moved his lips, and choked with sobs: "The Gao family swears to follow the prince to the death."
Zhao Jingyan nodded, drew his sword out of its sheath with a clang, and shouted two words - attack the city!
Crying... cursing... fighting... the sounds reached my ears.
A woman's cry of grief and anger could be faintly heard from the city wall: "Prince, save me...save me..."
This sound was quickly drowned in the numerous voices, and no one heard it.
Zhao Jingyan looked up, like a lonely viewer. This kind of fighting is even worse than in the army.
The sword is raised, the head falls, either you die or I die, simple and cruel.
The winner can be famous throughout history and have a successful career; the loser can only go to the King of Hell to complain about his pain.
The changes of history and the change of dynasty and power have always been a battle of fighting and fighting for one's life. This was never what he wanted.
All he wants is his father's smile, his mother's love, his brother's concern... and his lover's caress.
The night becomes darker and darker.
Lines of quiet sword light cut through the sky, making a killing sound.
kill!
kill!
kill!
inside the house.
Qian Fu and Cao Ziang were in a hurry.
He was stabbed three times, all fatal, with only a faint breath. The woman on the bed is the young lady's best friend and the woman Qi Ye loves most. They knew very well that if this person could not be rescued, they would not be able to explain it to the young lady and Master Qi.
Outside the house, Jiang Hongwen stood with his hands behind his back, motionless for a long time. His slender back was filled with sadness, which made people unable to bear to look at him.
"Master Qi, it's time to go, there's a killing outside." The guard's voice sounded from behind again.
Jiang Hongwen listened intently to the movements in the room and closed his eyes in pain.
If he hadn't suggested coming to Qingfu, if he hadn't relented and brought Wu Yanling with him... wouldn't everything be different
Is it fate
None of the women Jiang Qiye liked met a happy end.
Two lines of tears fell, and Jiang Hongwen suddenly remembered that cold moon night, when he stood under the osmanthus tree and the fairy-like woman came quietly.
"Are you crying? Don't be sad. Everything will be fine."
Jiang Hongwen raised his head sadly, feeling as if he had been drenched by heavy rain.
On the one hand, Songyin's life or death is unknown, and on the other hand, the current situation is urgent. The Fifth Army Camp has already started an uprising. If they don't lobby King Kang of the Three Thousand Battalion, then Tinglin and others...
Lover, brother, family, country, world, does he have a choice
"Lao Qi, my ancestor will guard her for you."
Jiang Hongwen slowly looked back, looked at his ancestor with bloodshot eyes, and sniffed hard. "Ancestor, my grandson has a heartfelt request. If she...can survive...please agree to our marriage."
The ancestor closed his eyes for half a breath, then opened his eyes, with a slight light in his eyes, and said: "I promise you."
Jiang Hongwen took a deep breath, knelt down, kowtowed three times to his ancestors, and strode away. After taking a few steps, he stamped his feet, turned around, and glanced at Jiang Hongyan, who was huddled behind the crowd.
"That woman saved her life. If there is anything wrong with Songyin, I will retaliate with tooth for tooth and blood for blood. Anyone who stops me, Lao Qi, will be my enemy, with such a sword!"
The long sword broke with a sound, and everyone's heart skipped a beat. At the same time, a thought came to their mind. The man in front of them was not jokingly called the Living King of Hell in the capital, but the real King of Hell.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the lights are brightly lit.
King Lao Su was sitting on the dragon chair, looking very powerful. The wise king and the noble concubine sat on both sides. Next, all the second-rank officials took their seats in the first place.
Compared with the fighting outside, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was peaceful at the moment, and there was even music and dance of silk and bamboo. However, this sound sounded like a reminder to everyone.
Because just after half a cup of tea, Zhang Yunlong, the commander of the Imperial Guard, had his head chopped off with a knife, and blood spattered on the spot. The one wielding the sword was Ma Yiwen, deputy commander of the Imperial Guard.
They don't know who will be next, but no one here can escape.
King Lao Su raised his glass and signaled to everyone.
Everyone remained motionless, with contemptuous smiles on their faces.
King Lao Su sneered when he saw that these people looked loyal and patriotic. It seems that killing one Zhang Yunlong is not enough, but the heads of several loyal ministers are needed to shock him enough.
"Gao Shangshu, the king's cabinet, prepare an edict. As long as you draft a move, I will protect you, and the Wang family will be rich forever."
Gao Mingtao raised his head and denounced each other angrily, "I have read the Four Books and Five Classics, and I know the way of a monarch and a minister, and the way of a human being. Today, I would rather imitate the stone cabinet and die, than help the evildoer. Your Majesty, please give up that intention." Old King Su high-fived him again and again, "Gao Shangshu is indeed a loyal minister! Do you think that this king will let you have the same pleasure as Mr. Shige! Hahahaha... Someone, chop off Gao Shangshu's fingers one by one until Until he agrees to prepare the edict."
