who?Who is this?

However, Li Mingji did not give Kou Xiao a chance to catch his breath, he raised his longbow high and aimed at Kou Xiao's eyebrows.

He even had the leisure to comfort the little princess in his arms: "Jiaojiao, close your eyes."

Shu Yao obediently closed her eyes.

"Where are our people? Where are people?" Kou Xiao pulled out the saber at his waist, his voice hoarse like crazy, "Stop him! Grab Your Majesty! Shoot the arrow!"

No one responded.

The archers on the eaves had, at some point, become dead souls under the knife.

Their people are only a few hundred soldiers in Wenxitang.

Xie Hong and the others were the first to realize that they were about to capture Emperor Yong alive who was writing the imperial decree.Yin Fu quickly stopped in front of Emperor Yong, Xie Hong raised his arms and was about to strike, when an arrow flew from behind, brushing his sleeve and flying straight past.

It was Xie Yanzhou.

Xie Hong said coldly: "Get out of the way!"

"Grandfather!" Xie Yanzhou pleaded with a little more gaze, "Don't be confused!"

He fought with the soldiers sent by Xie Hong.

With Xie Yanzhou's help, the soldiers brought by Li Mingji quickly rushed into Wenxitang, fighting against the soldiers brought by Xie Hong, while covering Emperor Yong's evacuation.

This group of soldiers was well-trained and powerful, and the people brought by Xie Hong and Kou Xiao quickly gained the upper hand.Li Mingji put down his bow and arrow, and walked forward holding the reins. His horse's hooves stepped over a corpse. It was the dead Kou Xiao, and the arrow pierced his eyes.

Shu Yao also smelled the smell of blood, and heard the sound of horse's hooves trampling over bones.Li Mingji covered it with callused hands, and said in a low voice, "Don't look."

Shu Yao thought to herself that she had dreamed before, and she had seen crueler scenes than this one, and she was one of them, after experiencing that kind of near-death despair, this kind of scene was nothing at all.

Moreover, Li Mingji was by her side, and they had brought so many people here, the chances of winning were sure, she was not afraid.

Corpses were lying around at his feet, Xie Hong picked up a long knife and fought with the soldiers. Zheng Lian, Lu Ye and others had been restrained, and the surviving officials were all rescued.

Dozens of soldiers guarded Emperor Yong, Li Mingji let go of Shu Yao's eyes, got off his horse, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for the late rescue."

Shu Yao also called her uncle, "Are you okay?"

Emperor Yong shook his head: "You guys came in time."

He knew that the second prince's army was in the outer city, so Emperor Yong pretended to cooperate and was delaying the time.These people just want him to compromise, and will not hurt his life. As long as the delay is long enough, the passive situation can be reversed.

Unexpectedly, the amulet for protecting Shu Yao earlier would come in handy here.The arrival of Shu Yao and Li Mingji prevented more casualties.

Looking at the officials buried under the rain of arrows, Emperor Yong's eyes flashed with regret, and he ordered Yin Fu: "Check how many people died, appease their relatives, and give them a grand burial."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xie Hong was holding a long knife, with wounds all over, panting heavily.He was old a long time ago, not the mighty general who used to be a hundred, but an old man who struggled to lift a knife.

He wiped off the blood on his face, inserted the long knife into the ground, and supported his exhausted body.

Xie Yanzhou looked at his grandfather, then at Emperor Yong, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Yong calmly said: "Take it."

"do not move!"

Xie Hong raised his knife, "Your Majesty, I still have a few last words to say."

Countless pairs of eyes fell on him, familiar and unfamiliar, Xie Hong laughed, "I, Xie Hong, have fought south and north and made great contributions to the Yong Dynasty. My father and my elder brother all died in battle." battlefield……"

"It's not what it used to be, Mr. Xie."

Emperor Yong interrupted him.

"Your children, your clansmen, were born with the flesh and blood of the people of the Yong Dynasty. Relying on your honor back then, you can't help but resist a little. Even if I want to change the law, you have to force me to compromise."

"Do you know how much salary and military pay the treasury spends every year to support your people? How many talented candidates failed the exams, and how many useless official positions were added to the court? All the soldiers you brought are enjoying Dayong's A generous salary, but can they keep Dayong's country?"

These words seem to be familiar, he had a quarrel with Xie Yanzhou a few days ago, and Xie Yanzhou also mentioned it.Even his young grandson understands the truth, but can't he see clearly?
No, how could he not see clearly.He just refused to admit that the current aristocratic family is no longer that batch of model celebrities, and he thought that the aristocratic family cultivated talents needed by the society...

Xie Hong closed his eyes.

The long knife pierced his body, and he chose to end his life in this way.

"grandfather--!"

With a trembling voice, Xie Yanzhou knelt in front of Xie Hong's corpse.

Shu Yao bit her lip, feeling a little uncomfortable.She whispered to Li Mingji: "Old General Xie is the most stubborn person I have ever met."

Li Mingji didn't comment, just squeezed her hand lightly where no one could see, his eyes were indifferent.Xie Hong chose to kill himself instead of going to prison to wait for punishment. Isn't it a manifestation of evading the facts?

Emperor Yong couldn't bear to turn his head away, and said lightly: "Take everyone away."

……

As night fell, the Qionglin Banquet also came to an end.

Some young masters and young ladies who had already attended the banquet were complaining: "What the hell is going on in there, when can we leave?"

During the day, officers and soldiers blocked Qionglin Garden for no reason, saying that His Majesty ordered that no one should leave, so they had to wait silently.As a result, it was already dark, and the officers and soldiers changed a group, but there was no intention of changing.

Finally, a man dressed as a servant cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, calm down, there are assassins in Qionglin Garden and they are investigating. Please follow the arrangement and stay in the wing room temporarily. Your Majesty said that if the investigation is completed tonight, Tomorrow morning, you will be able to let the nobles leave."

Someone recognized the person who sent the message, it was Yin Fu, a celebrity beside His Majesty, so he put away his complaints and reluctantly waited for the arrangement.

A group of soldiers was quietly invited in.

In Wenxitang, Princess Jiayi and Shu Yao huddled together on the same couch, listening to her talk about the thrills of the day.She looked at Shu Yao suspiciously: "You really led the troops to rescue the father from the palace? But didn't you say that your princess mansion was also surrounded? How did you get out?"

Shu Yao didn't tell her about the secret way, and said solemnly: "Over the wall! My guards can fly over the wall, and he took me over the wall."

Princess Jiayi: "It's fine if he climbs over the wall, didn't you fall and squat?"

Shu Yao was so angry that she rushed towards her, pressed her on the couch, scratched her armpit, "Yuanyuan, just say something nice."

The two played around for a while, when they heard the sound of footsteps outside the window, the door creaked open.Shu Yao raised her head vigilantly, the expression on her face turned into surprise: "Second cousin?"
