powerful!

The opponent is really too strong!

The sword that he thought would kill him was nothing more than a simple ax in Ding Baiying's eyes.

Is it a joke to be the successor of the Qi family sword?

With one slash, the Xiuchun Dao was cut off, ending the battle in an instant.

really.

The next moment, Ding Baiying raised the long knife and placed it across Shen Lian's throat.

A few inches away, the cold air on the blade had cut Shen Lian's neck open, and a few traces of blood flowed out.

Ding Baiying had unspeakable contempt on her face and laughed coldly.

"Master Shen, do you want to continue fighting?"

Shen Lian gasped and could no longer speak.

"Since Mr. Shen doesn't want to fight..."

She tilted her head and looked at the gold on the table: "One thousand taels of gold, a hundred thousand taels of silver."

"Master Shen, are you going to keep your life, or are you taking the money and pawning your life to Heshengkui from now on?"

Shen Lian looked at the other party intently.

He got it all.

Understand the intentions of Ding Baiying and Lu Wenzhao outside.

As expected, he couldn't bear it anymore and forced himself to take a stand.

If you don't take sides today, your life will stay here forever.

If you express your stance, you can pawn your life for one hundred thousand taels of silver and leave here alive.

One thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Who is standing behind them?

Such a big deal?

Shen Lian took a deep breath and looked at the other person's contemptuous expression. For some reason, a rush of blood rushed to the top of his head.

"Ding Baiying, you can kill him if you want. What's the harm in leaving Shen's head here?"

"If you ask me to be your master's dog, Shen will never agree!"

A strange color flashed in Ding Baiying's eyes, which was quite surprising.

"Huh? Master Shen, you do have some backbone, but I want to see if your neck is as strong as your words!"

With that said, Ding Baiying used the force of his sword to completely defeat Shen Lian.

Seeing that death was imminent, Shen Lian closed his eyes helplessly.

That’s all.

I have been refining this life, which can be considered a complete liberation.

"Hahaha……"

Unexpectedly, the expected owl leader did not happen.

Shen Lian only felt a hearty laugh coming from his ears.

"Shen Lian, Shen Lian, you are made of steel and iron, and you are full of loyalty!"

"But are you loyal to the eunuchs or to me, the Ming Dynasty?"

Shen Lian opened his eyes and listened to the unusually familiar voice in his ears. When he looked closer, his whole body was shaken.

But I met the half-brother of the current emperor Zhu Youxiao.

The dignified King Xin Zhu Youjian walked out of the back hall.

He was dressed smartly as a scholar in white, holding a folding fan in his hand, but he was full of nobility but could not hide it no matter what.

Zhu Youjian, who was fifteen years old and already looked like an adult, even had a downy beard, walked all the way to Shen Lian with steady steps.

Shen Lian was completely dumbfounded and stared at the other party blankly.

When the rest of the people in the room, including Ding Baiying, saw King Xin appear, they hurriedly threw down their weapons and knelt down on the ground.

"See His Highness King Xin!"

Zhu Youjian was too lazy to pay attention to them, and still looked at Shen Lian, as if waiting for the other party's reaction.

However, Shen Lian couldn't calm down in shock.

Believe in the king!

The boss behind Lu Wenzhao turned out to be King Xin, Emperor Tianqi’s favorite brother!

Doesn't it mean that King Xin was also involved in the assassination of Queen Zhang?

In the past two years, the death of the dragon son and the dragon girl in the palace at an early age is also related to you, Zhu Youjian?

Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian, what on earth are you planning!

Thinking of King Xin's ambition, Shen Lian trembled all over and couldn't believe it.

Seeing that this person was still in a daze, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but frown.

Bang!

The door panel of Heshengkui has been broken into.

Lu Wenzhao obviously heard the noise and rushed into the lobby, ran a few steps and knelt down on one knee.

"I, Jin Yiwei, the envoy to the town and governor, Lu Wenzhao, are here to see His Highness King Xin."

Zhu Youjian smiled coldly, but said nothing, and glanced at Shen Lian.

The meaning is obvious.

Lu Wenzhao, this person was recommended by you.

Now it's like being stupid, tell me what to do.

Lu Wenzhao was going crazy.

What can I do?

Promise that everything will be fine, otherwise you will definitely die.

Things have come to this point, what do you think we should do?

He was still kneeling on one knee, pulling Shen Lian beside him, and cursed angrily.

"Brother, why are you standing still while riding a horse? You haven't come to see His Highness King Xin yet!"

"Your Highness is generous and has spared your life. Do you really want to die under my brother's sword?"

No matter what, Lu Wenzhao was a man who valued love and righteousness and always remembered Shen Lian's life-saving grace.

He was asked to chop Shen Lian, but he couldn't do it after all.

Shen Lian just opened his mouth: "I...I..."

He understands.

This kneeling will completely turn him into a traitor and a traitor, and completely tie the lives of the nine clans together.

Zhu Youjian could see the great hesitation in Shen Lian's heart and laughed loudly.

"Shen Lian, Xiao Wang has been observing you for several years and knows who you are."

"Although you are in the stinking quagmire of Jinyiwei, you have always maintained a kind heart and are unwilling to harm innocent people."

"Even if he was promoted to the left town of Fusi with thousands of households and had great power, he never harmed anyone in vain."

"Xiao Wang is deeply impressed by your humanity. I came here specifically to see you. Don't blame your brother Lu Wenzhao. Xiao Wang wanted to give you a try, but he turned out to be so loyal!"

Cold sweat poured down Shen Lian's face again.

He understood that if he had just taken the money to buy his life, he would probably be dead and would never be able to get out of here alive.

only……

damn it.

Just because you have taken a liking to my honest and honest boy, you want to tie me up to join the rebellion?

How can there be such truth!

Do honest people deserve to die?

Shen Lian was unmoved and still hesitant.

Zhu Youjian sighed, knowing that he had to use his ultimate move.

He simply started to improve his acting skills, imitating Liu Bei of the Shu Han Dynasty, and his eyes became red.

He held up the stunned Shen Lian's hands, his voice choked with sobs.

"Shen Lian, you are a step older than Xiao Wang. How about Xiao Wang calling you Brother Shen?"

"Brother Shen, the world is in chaos now, and the people are in dire straits. Outside there are slaves from Liaodong who invade the borders, and inside there are eunuchs who are causing trouble in the court."

"The vast mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty are about to be destroyed. Xiao Wang witnessed it with his own eyes. He sighed all day long and was extremely worried!"

"In desperation, I finally made up my mind to use my life to turn the tide and support the building from falling!"

Zhu Youjian even raised his hands when he talked about the depth of love.

"I want to be our Ming Dynasty's white jade pillar holding up the sky and bridging the sea's purple golden beam! I want to imitate Qu Yuan, and I will never regret it even if I die nine times!"

"Brother Shen, can't you...can't you help me?"
