"Yuanyou! Kill him!"

Chu Xiaoyun felt a strong sense of oppression from the young man in front of him, and he immediately made a decision - he must get rid of this person!

Lu Yuanyou tapped his toes lightly, and jumped onto the stone forest. The sharp light on the tip of his sword was as cold as the moonlight. The thick internal force in his body shook his robe, his eyes were full of killing intent, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Xie Yan.

Xie Yan raised his spear and stopped the sword.

He rode a horse among the many soldiers around Chu Xiaoyun, and he entered a deserted place, where the long sword crossed, blood splattered everywhere.

Chu Xiaoyun was so frightened that he backed away again and again. This face and this kind of aura all made him connect with the prince back then, especially... when the East Palace was on fire, he accompanied the emperor to search all over the East Palace, but there was nothing. Find the child's body!

His heart was beating faster and faster, and the words that had been lingering on his lips for a long time were finally said by him: "You are..."

He never had the chance to say the word "Prince's orphan". The spear pierced his chest. He opened his mouth, and glaring blood overflowed from his mouth.

The blood gushing from his chest splashed all over Xie Yan's body. Under the bleak moonlight, Xie Yan's handsome and icy face was stained with a few strands of blood, making him as ruthless as a coming Shura.

Chu Xiaoyun's eyes widened, and what appeared in front of him was that gentle but domineering figure.

Brother Huang, is this the retribution I got for helping the evildoer?

Regret and unwillingness flashed across his eyes, and finally fell into dead silence.

The surrounding voices disappeared for a moment, and then Eunuch Li shouted excitedly.

"The traitor Chu Xiaoyun is dead!" The family skills he had passed down around the emperor for many years came into play at this time, and his high-pitched voice could be heard by several palaces in the surrounding area, "Why don't you surrender quickly? "

Following Eunuch Li's stern shout, those guards who resisted tenaciously were overjoyed and spread the good news from mouth to mouth: "The traitor Chu Xiaoyun is dead!"

These words resounded throughout the imperial city.

Lu Yuanyou put away his long sword, and glanced at Xie Yan with deep eyes: "I didn't expect such a powerful young man to be hidden by Pei Anlin's side."

"It's a pity..." He raised his long sword slowly, his body stiffened, "You met me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he attacked Xie Yan again.

This blow was very light, completely different from the previous two moves, Xie Yan easily dealt with it.

The next moment, a cold light flashed across the corner of his eye, and Xie Yanjun's face turned cold: Not good!

I saw Lu Yuanyou went straight to the emperor with the force of Xie Yan's attack.

"Protect the emperor!" Eunuch Li's face changed drastically, and he staggered towards the emperor, trying to block the sword with his body.

But one person was faster than him——Xie Yan's tall body blocked the emperor tightly behind him, and the long sword pierced his chest.

Lu Yuanyou took a deep look at him, and when the guards surrounded him, he drew his sword and left.

"withdraw!"

With a wave of Lu Yuanyou's hand, the besieging Shu soldiers receded like a tide.

Xie Yan fell to the ground, his handsome face was no longer pale, the emperor was greatly moved, he helped him up himself, and glared at Eunuch Li, who came a step late: "Call all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital immediately! If you can't cure me My saviors, I want them to come and see you!"

Eunuch Li responded repeatedly, seeing the emperor ordered the guards around him to carefully carry Xie Yan away, he wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and immediately headed towards the Tai Hospital.

A quarter of an hour later, Pei Anlin led a large team of imperial troops to the imperial city. Regardless of the hastily retreating Shu army, he led his troops to search the imperial city to make sure that there were no more rebels. Then he led a few subordinates to the Tai Chi Hall to return to their orders.

"My minister is late, please punish me by the emperor."

Wearing armor, Pei Anlin knelt on the ground, and the subordinates behind him also knelt down, and there was a loud noise in the hall.

Seeing the beads of sweat on Pei Anlin's face and the redness that hadn't faded in time, the emperor put away the scolding that came to his lips in an instant.

He knew well that the reason why the imperial city was besieged this time was because he didn't trust Pei Anlin and sent a large number of forbidden troops to the East and West Battalions, which gave the King of Shu an opportunity.

If all the responsibilities were shifted to Pei Anlin now, it would not only provoke criticism, but also chill Pei Anlin's heart. Although he did not trust Pei Anlin, he had to admit that among all generals, the Pei family was the most trustworthy.

"Okay." The emperor snorted coldly, "You were the one who sent Xie Yan. He saved me, and you have a share of the credit. If the merits and demerits are equal, I don't care about your failure this time."

Hearing this, Pei Anlin kowtowed heavily to the emperor twice, expressing his gratitude beyond words: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness!"

Seeing that there was no trace of the banquet in the hall, Pei Anlin was puzzled: "Where is the banquet?"

When mentioning this matter, tears welled up in the emperor's eyes: "Xie Yan is a good boy, in order to save me, he even blocked the sword with his body! If it wasn't for him, I'm afraid I would have been decapitated long ago!"

The emperor was very grateful for Xie Yan who sacrificed his life to save him, and was also very touched that he could save himself in a critical moment. Most of the anger in his stomach disappeared, and he patted the desk excitedly: "Xie Yan is a talented man! But worthy of reuse!"

Pei Anlin's face remained calm: "It's his honor to be able to block the sword for the emperor."

"What are you talking about?" The emperor glared at him, slapped the desk angrily and scolded, "There were so many people at that time, and he was the only one who was willing to block the sword for me! With such a great kindness, when he wakes up, I will definitely Reward him well!"

"And this rescue, he deserves the most credit." The emperor squinted at Pei Anlin, "Does General Pei have any objections?"

Pei Anlin immediately replied: "I have no objection, but Xie Yan is too young, even if the emperor wants to give him a reward, he needs to carefully consider it, otherwise the Yushitai..."

The unfinished meaning in the words, the emperor knows better than anyone else.

"I know all about it." He waved his hand, "Go and see Xie Yan, I have already sent people to send the best medicinal materials and imperial physicians there."

"Yes." Pei Anlin took the order and left.

In the Tai Chi Hall, only the emperor was left.

He recalled all the thrills just now, and patted his chest with lingering fear.

At this time, Eunuch Li walked in with small steps: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu..."

"The King of Shu conspired to rebel, and Concubine Shu unfortunately died under the rebellion." The emperor said indifferently, "You know what to do with the rest."

The hairs on Eunuch Li's back stood up, and he replied cautiously: "The old slave will do it now."

"Do it cleanly and don't leave any traces." The emperor said sadly, "It's not unreasonable for the rebellious soldiers to enter the imperial city and accidentally burn down a palace or two."

Hearing this, Eunuch Li lowered his head even lower.

Who would have thought that Concubine Shu, who was most favored by the emperor, would end up in such a fate?

……

In a side hall, all the palace officials were in a hurry, several imperial physicians were leaning against the pillars in the hall as if mourning, not daring to listen to the movement from the other side of the bed.

Imperial Doctor Zheng Xiao of the Imperial Hospital is old enough to know his destiny. He has a few strands of white hair on his temples, and he feels the pulse of Xie Yan deeply.

Looking at his pulse, his frown gradually relaxed.

"Emperor Doctor Xiao, if you can't even cure him, I'm afraid the few of us will go with him." The younger doctors had a bitter face, eager to shake Xie Yan who was in a coma.

Xiao Yuan was caressing his beautiful beard, and said slowly: "You don't have to worry about your life for the time being."

Hearing this, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, including Pei Anlin who rushed over.

He walked in with strides, and the sound of armor rubbing against each other was astonishingly loud, quickly making everyone in the hall aware of his existence.

"General Pei..."

A palace maid saluted first, but feeling the bloody aura on Pei Anlin's body, she almost fell to the ground.

Most of the others looked at Pei Anlin in this way, but Xiao Yuan was the only one who showed his first smiling face today when he saw him.

"General Pei is here." Xiao Yuan stood up and wanted to salute him.

Pei Anlin strode forward, stopped his movement, and said softly: "Xiao Yuanzheng doesn't need to be polite, I was ordered to visit Xie Yan, how is his injury?"

"It's nothing serious." Xiao Yuan said rightly, "However, his injury is very serious, and he still needs to rest for a while."

As he spoke, he was pulled into a corner by Pei Anlin.

"Although Xie Yan has been working in Pei's residence, he is my most promising subordinate." Pei Anlin said in a low voice, "Now that he has done a great job in saving his family, it is the best opportunity for promotion. The injury is more serious."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanzheng suddenly realized.

If someone else asked him, he would definitely not pay attention to it, but the person in front of him was General Pei who saved the lives of his whole family.

But after hesitating for a moment, he nodded: "Don't worry, I know everything."

"His injury is extremely dangerous. It is only because he has mastered his own kung fu and has the inner strength to protect his heart veins that he can breathe." Xiao Yuanzheng looked serious and his voice became louder, "I can only act according to the situation. , and ask General Pei to prepare for the worst."

As soon as these words came out, all the imperial doctors in the hall were in awe.

The pale face of those who couldn't do enough work, feared that they would be buried with Xie Yan, but those experienced old imperial doctors smelled an unusual smell from it.

But one is Yuan Zheng, the other is General Pei, no one dares to express their doubts at this time.

What's more, Xie Yan on the bed was unconscious, the white gauze on his chest was wrapped around and around, and the overflowing blood could still be seen, no matter who saw it, he looked like he was dying.

"If I catch Lu Yuanyou, he will pay for it with his life!"

Pei Anlin slammed heavily on the table, only to see that the table was torn apart in an instant, no one in the hall dared to speak for a while, only Xie Yan's weak breathing was left.

This news spread to Tai Chi Hall at the same time.

The emperor was so moved that he immediately wrote down an imperial decree.

After the edict was sent to Pei's house, the Shu army led by Lu Yuanyou returned to a valley in Yanshan to recuperate.

He slowly wiped the sword in his hand, recalling the danger of tonight, his face was gloomy.

"General, shall we go home?"

Hearing this, a sneering smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yuanyou's mouth: "Of course I want to go back."

The smile disappeared for a moment, he waved his hand, and walked to the river alone, and the guards around him immediately followed.

"Tomorrow morning, you go to the city to inquire about the news. I want to know his injury."
