Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 345: Kill people and punish the heart, never causing future troubles
  The East Pavilion is located to the west of Huangji Hall and to the east of Fengxian Hall. It has always been the place where the emperor held small court meetings. Now, it is where Zhu Youxiao was imprisoned.

The sky has begun to darken, the clouds are over the city, and the black clouds condensed in the sky seem to be within reach.

Crack, clack, clack.
  Big water drops fell from the sky, landed on the ground, and fell on the eaves and green tiles.

On the eaves outside the East Pavilion Hall, water drops continued to fall from high places and hit the granite floor.

Tick, tick, tick! ! !
  The sound of water droplets hitting the ground made Zhu Youxiao, who was lying on the jade couch, extremely agitated - Why didn't Yang Changsi, Tian Ergeng and others come?
  I am living like a year now! ! !

Extremely painful! ! !

With a cry, Zhu Youxiao sat up from the jade couch, put on his clothes and wanted to see what was going on outside.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?"

As soon as Zhu Youxiao lifted the curtain, he heard a gloomy voice coming from behind the jade screen.

Goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body, and Zhu Youxiao was so frightened that he lost his soul.

Turning his head, he stared intently at the dark figure sitting on the chair. With the shadow of the moon coming through the window, Zhu Youxiao could vaguely see clearly that it was Wang Tigan, who was wearing armor and holding a sharp sword.

"I want to show my respect," Zhu Youxiao subconsciously covered his stomach with begging in his tone.

"The weather is cold and gloomy. The outgoing barrel is on the side of the screen. Your Majesty does not need to go out." Wang Tigan stood up and moved his thumb slightly. The long sword in his hand was exposed, and the cold light shone on it.

"I want to go out and get some fresh air!" Zhu Youxiao wanted to insist.

"After nearly midnight, your Majesty will be able to enter and leave the palace as he pleases early tomorrow morning." Wang Tigan stepped forward and walked three steps away from Zhu Youxiao without showing any mercy.

Looking down and seeing the sword on Wang Tiqian's waist, Zhu Youxiao swallowed subconsciously - he shouldn't dare to kill the king, right?
  "I" Zhu Youxiao planned to give it a try, and as he said this, he stretched out his hand towards the palace door.

bass!
  The next second, Wang Tiqian had already pulled out the long sword from his waist.
  kill! ! ! !
  At this moment, not only Zhu Youxiao, but also Wang Tiqian heard the faint killing cry outside the palace.

"Rescue soldiers are here!"

Zhu Youxiao knew that Tian Ergeng was here!
  With a creak, Zhu Youxiao ignored Wang Tiqian's threat, stretched out his hand to open the palace door, and then stepped out of the palace.

"Come here, take your Majesty to the inner room of the main hall." The moment Zhu Youxiao opened the door, Wang Tigan gave the order: "You are not allowed to come out without my order!"

As soon as Zhu Youxiao left the hall, two armored soldiers on the left and one on the right came forward to pick him up at the entrance of the hall.

"Yes!" After receiving Wang Tiqian's order, two armored soldiers escorted Zhu Youxiao toward the inner room.

"If things fail," Wang Tiqian stopped the two of them, "I will leave your Majesty with dignity!"

Decent! ! ? ?
  That means killing yourself?
  Hearing Wang Tiqian's order, which was like his last words, Zhu Youxiao was in despair and was horrified: "Let me go, I don't want to go to the inner room, I will go back to the palace, let me go."

The killing cries were getting closer and closer.

Ignoring Zhu Youxiao's cry, Wang Tigan turned his head and stood at the door with his sword in hand.

The moonlight was dim, and the raindrops almost formed lines in the sky.

Heavy raindrops fell on the ground, on his armor, and on Wang Tigan's face.

The rain tonight is a little chilling.

Bang bang bang, the sound of clashing swords, guns, swords and halberds was particularly loud in the rainy night.

"Hold the palace gate! I'd rather die than retreat!" Wang Tigan gave the order, and dozens of feather forest guards stepped forward and surrounded the palace gate.

"Kill all the bandits and rescue the emperor." Tian Ergeng took the lead, chopped down an armored soldier in front of him, rushed into the East Pavilion, and looked at Wang Tiqian standing at the door of the palace: "Hey, Liaodong soldiers, except Wang Qi's side Those are considered strong, but the rest are just fine!"

Looking at the extremely ferocious Tian Ergen and the corpse at his feet, Wang Tigan's eyebrows twitched as he stood on the top of the steps.

Most of the Yulin Guards sent by Wang Qi to Wang Tiqian were to replace the original manpower, and the new soldiers transferred from Liaodong were not only obedient and reliable, but did not have strong combat effectiveness.

After all, the elites around Wang Qi who have fought in hundreds of battles are only one in a hundred, who have truly fought on the flesh-and-blood battlefield. One hundred out of ten thousand people will be worthy of the sky, and they are rare.

Most of the people around Tian Ergen who came from the Jinyi Guards and Yulin Guards were old soldiers. Except for the fierce soldiers from Liaodong around Wang Qi, they were all stronger than other opponents!

It didn't take long for Tian Ergeng, who was covered in blood, to stand in front of Wang Tiqian.

Wiping the bloody long knife on his body, Tian Ergen walked forward with a sinister smile and looked at Wang Tigan: "My lord, we have met before, give me the emperor, and I will also give you a tomb for every festival in the future. Here’s a toast!”

"The Duke of Qi will be back soon. It's not certain who pours wine on whose grave!" Wang Tiqian knew that he was no match for Tian Ergen, but for the entrustment of the Duke of Qi and the hope deep in his heart, Wang Tiqian still stepped forward, thinking Want to compete with Tian Ergeng.

"Hey, just to make you give up, Wang Qi has been hacked to death by me a long time ago and will never come back," Tian Ergeng smiled arrogantly and walked up the steps step by step with a knife.

The heavy rain blurred Wang Tiqian's vision, but he held the sword in his hand tighter.

"Kill!!!" Wang Tiqian, who had been a slave all his life, suddenly roared and slashed towards Tian Ergen without fear of life or death.

boom!
  The next moment, Wang Tiqian's body flew out directly.

"Seeking death!" Tian Ergen raised his knife and moved forward towards Wang Tiqian who fell on the ground, wanting to hit him with another blow.

The Duke of Qi has arrived! ! !

A singing voice came floating in the air.

Mixed with the pouring rain, Tian Ergen felt that he had heard wrongly, and turned around in confusion.

Wang Tiqian, who fell on the ground, also struggled to get up and looked towards the east pavilion gate.

In an instant, the killing shouts in the entire hall stopped, and they looked at the door of the East Pavilion.

Not long after, a group of armored soldiers arrived and surrounded the entire courtyard.

"Not dead?" Even if Tian Ergeng's reaction was slow, he still knew who was coming, and he would turn around and flee in a panic.

"Commander Tian, ​​don't leave in a hurry," Wang Qi's voice came, carrying the greetings between friends.

Following Wang Qi's words, a pair of armored soldiers came forward and took Tian Ergeng, Kong Zuoliang and others into custody.

"Please come out, Your Majesty," Wang Qi led everyone into the hall.

Among them were thirteen congressmen, dozens of civil and military officials, as well as nearly ordinary people and scholars, all standing in the hall at this moment.

There was a creak, and with everyone watching, the emperor in military uniform was invited out by the armored soldiers.

"I'll bow before you." Subconsciously, everyone in the palace knelt down and bowed when they saw the emperor.

"Your Majesty, we meet again after many days and it is like this. I am very sorry." Wang Qi stood upright and looked at Zhu Youxiao.

This sentence also interrupted everyone's kneeling movements.

For a moment, everyone looked at the emperor, wanting to know what the emperor's attitude would be like when facing such a domineering minister.

"You" looked at the white gauze on Wang Qi's chest. Zhu Youxiao knew that Wang Qi was injured. Maybe Wang Qi, who was full of anger and carelessness, would really cut himself off: "I heard that Aiqing was injured. I was very worried. , stayed up all night.”

"One or two of the traitors are just traitors. Yang Changsi, Zhang Shenyan and others have already been chopped down by me," Wang Qi stretched out his hands full of blood and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

"Haha." Zhu Youxiao almost bit his lower lip to bleed to suppress the fear in his heart: "As long as Aiqing is fine, I am relieved." Looking at the mutual dialogue between the monarch and the minister, the rest of the people in the palace It's all silence, the kind of silence in which the world view has been subverted - it turns out that it can be so easy to talk to the emperor as an equal, is it so normal?

Subconsciously, the people standing behind Wang Qi slowly straightened their knees and straightened their waists. When they looked at Zhu Youxiao, they were no longer dodging or shrinking, but looking straight at him. .

Opposite Wang Qi, Zhu Youxiao's heart was bleeding and roaring.

Dead, all dead, all the loyal ministers who wanted to rescue him were dead. From now on, he would really have to live under the control of this demon.

I'm going to fight him!

Fight with him! ! !

Zhu Youxiao wanted to pounce on Wang Qi, who was three steps away, bite him to death, tear him into pieces, and dig out his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs to see what color they were.
  wild ambition!

ungrateful!

However, I don't know why, no matter how crazy Zhu Youxiao's heart is and how overwhelming his hatred is, his feet seem to be growing on the ground and cannot move at all.

"Your Majesty," Wang Qi's voice came from afar, right in front of you, yet seemingly far away.

"Wang Aiqing," Zhu Youxiao subconsciously changed his words and turned around, breathing heavily.

"I have one more thing to trouble Your Majesty." Wang Qi waved his hand, and armored soldiers took Tian Ergen and Kong Zuoliang up. At this moment, both of them were tied up and pressed to their knees on the ground, moaning. The cry seemed to be begging for mercy, but also seemed to be cursing: "They broke into the palace without permission and should die according to the law. I think that in order to scare Xiao Xiao, Your Majesty should kill them personally!"

Wang Qi spoke with a smile. That kind of warm smile should have warmed people's hearts, but to Zhu Youxiao and everyone in the hall, it sounded so crazy and so crazy.
  Murder and kill!
  This makes me cut myself off from all loyal ministers in the world!

If Zhu Youxiao really takes action against Tian Ergen and others, what will the loyal people in the north and south of the country and Kyushu feel? Will the people of the world still recognize me as the emperor?

Zhu Youxiao subconsciously waved his hand and refused: "Ai Qing is joking, how can I do it? I am the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the emperor, I can't."

"Your Majesty, don't you? I can ask someone to teach you," Wang Qi's eyes were slightly focused, without any smile, and he turned to the silent figure next to Zhu Youxiao who was ignored: "Xiao Guizi, come and teach the emperor. .”

"As you command, Duke Guo," Xiao Guizi, who had been standing next to Zhu Youxiao, bowed and stood up after hearing Wang Qi's words.

That expression and movement were so natural.

"Xiao Guizi, you?" Zhu Youxiao suddenly woke up, his eyes were about to burst, and a wave of despair and horror emerged from the bottom of his heart, rushing straight from the soles of his feet to his brain, making people almost suffocated!

The trustworthy Xiao Guizi beside him, almost the only one he could trust in times of despair, was actually the undercover agent sent by Wang Qi to him?

So who around you is worthy of trust?

Xiao Guizi ignored Zhu Youxiao's anger and surprise, took the knife handed over by the armored soldier, walked directly to Kong Zuoliang, looked down at the former imperial captain who was kneeling on the ground, shaking like chaff, with a look in his eyes. A hint of contempt.

Hold the knife, then lower your shoulders and aim the tip of the knife at the target's heart.

Kong Zuoliang's trembling and whining struggles became the only sounds in the hall at this time.

Hey!
  Xiao Guizi grinned, suddenly exerted force, and stabbed forward!
  puff!
  It was as if the tip of the knife had directly broken through the fat and muscle groups, and reached the heart without any hindrance.

laugh!
  The heart is much softer than ordinary muscle or fat, and when the blade passes through it, there is almost no feeling of blockage.

The white knife went in and the red knife came out. For a moment, I didn't feel any pain.

When everyone looked at it again, Kong Zuoliang had already drooped his head and could not die anymore.

Xiao Guizi held the bloody dagger in his hand, stood up slowly, and then turned to look at Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, have you learned it?" Wang Qi spoke again.

Inside the main hall, it was extremely quiet.

Outside the main hall, it was windy and rainy.

The silence that hung in the air was suffocating.

"My dear, I really can't!"

Click, click, click, Zhu Youxiao took a few steps back, and didn't stop until he was on top of the armored soldier.

"Mr. Qi, it doesn't have to be like this, right?" Sun Chengzong, who was standing behind Wang Qi, couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to try to persuade him.

Tonight's rebellion has been completely suppressed. Wang Qi went on a killing spree outside Donghua Gate today, which has frightened everyone and killed so many people that Sun Chengzong felt that enough was enough.

It's shocking enough.

"If Your Majesty doesn't take action, this matter will never be finished!" Wang Qi did not go to see Sun Chengzong, but stared at Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, kill Tian Ergen, and you can go back to Qianqing Palace to sleep, Queen Both the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince are waiting for His Majesty."

I heard Wang Qi talking about the Queen and the Crown Prince.

Zhu Youxiao's last psychological defense collapsed.

This man is the devil!
  Not only Zhu Youxiao, but everyone in the palace knew at this moment that they should never go against Wang Qi and Wang Qi in this life.

He will make your life worse than death.

He manipulates people's hearts and is as cunning as a demon.

"Give me a knife!" Finally, Zhu Youxiao raised his head and looked at Wang Qi.

As soon as he finished speaking, an armored soldier stepped forward and handed the dagger to Zhu Youxiao.

Weighing the dagger lightly, Zhu Youxiao walked slowly towards Tian Ergeng.

The distance was less than ten steps, walking very slowly, very slowly.

At this moment, Tian Ergeng saw Kong Zuoliang dying next to him, and was frightened out of his mind. If it weren't for the armored soldiers holding him down, Tian Ergen would just want to run back and far away from here. Will come back again.

Woohoo! ! !
  Tian Ergen looked at Zhu Youxiao, who had already approached him, with pleading in his eyes.

Zhu Youxiao was like a zombie at the moment. He ignored Tian Ergen's gaze, slowly squatted down, put his left hand on Tian Ergen's shoulder, and held the dagger in his other hand, gently aiming it at Tian Ergen's heart.

All the ministers in the palace quietly watched the emperor's movements today.

Sun Chengzong had closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look anymore.

next second.

Puff.

There was a faint sound in the hall.

Then there were several sounds in succession, and there was no hesitation.

Pfft, pfft! ! !
  Wang Qi stood not far from Zhu Youxiao, looking at the emperor, and frantically inserted the dagger in his hand into Tian Ergen's chest.

The blood has spread from his feet and flowed outside the palace.

Finally, Wang Qi's voice sounded: "His Majesty, please come back to the palace."
