Chen Shi

The news of Cui Jiao's assassination of Chen Zhi quickly reached Cui Yan's ears, and immediately left behind the old officials who had agreed to fight at night with lights, and rushed back to Qianqing Palace.

In front of the palace gate, Chen Zhi was worrying about holding his clothes and trousers that had been stabbed several times.The palace lantern under the porch swayed in dim light, falling on the coagulated blood stains on the rags, clusters of thick black and red, indicating the tragedy of the crime.

Cui Yan's throat tightened, and she slowed down her pace.

No matter in front of him or behind his back, this person always has thousands of ways to bruise himself all over his body.Even if there is a secret law to heal the wound, what about the pain of the sharp knife piercing the flesh?It's a pity to have a hole in your clothes, but don't you care if you have a hole in your body?

There is a kind of person who, even if he doesn't make a sound, the aura around him will be beating gongs and drums.

As soon as Chen Zhi raised his head, he saw Cui Yan walking "comfortably" and "slowly": "It's just in time, I have something to tell you. Zhang Quan has hidden an army of [-] outside, and he may come back to seek revenge on you."

Cui Yan said calmly, "How many times have you been stabbed in the stomach by Cui Jiao?"

"..." Chen Zhi asked suspiciously, "Are you asking, have I been stabbed by Cui Jiao a few times, or do you want me to count how many times I was stabbed by Cui Jiao?"

Cui Yan walked to him and sat down, unbuttoned his clothes to check the wound, it was still white and tender.

Chen Zhi stared at the thumb that was groping again and again, clung to his belly and refused to move, and couldn't help but said: "It's fine if you touch it a little bit, if you touch it any more, you'll be bald."

Cui Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "Why didn't you complain when Cui Jiao stabbed you?"

"Do you think I don't want to complain? She complains more than I do, I can't complain about her!" Chen Zhi sighed.

Cui Yan said: "Her father asked me to save her life before he died, and the price was the power of Taiyuan City. I agreed. Now it seems that this business has lost money."

"Isn't her father your father?"

"Looking at each other and hating each other, why bother to mention the relationship that he and I don't want to admit."

Chen Zhi couldn't help but pat his head.

Cui Yan squinted: "What is your expression?"

"Caring."

"Compared to you who don't even change your face when you cut flesh and stab a knife, my past experience should be nothing." Cui Yan paused, and asked the doubt buried in her heart for a long time that she didn't dare to touch, "In those years, Yang Zhongju didn't dare to touch it." What did it do to you?"

What did Yang Zhongju do to him?

Delicious food and drink to serve, parents and mothers to worry about, except for not giving power, everything else that can be given.A lot of age, but also a bachelor.He once suspected that Yang Zhongju might pamper himself as a kind of entertainment.

"Well, this..." Chen Zhi scratched his head thinking about Wenya's words, "I don't care much about reading, um..."

"Don't say any more." Seeing how hard he was squeezing, Cui Yan thoughtfully interrupted him, "I see." Chen Zhi spoke implicitly, but his stammering tone revealed every little bit of hardship.

I also know that Yang Zhongju at that time refused to let him study.In daily life, it can be seen that the palace guards stole the dragon robe unscrupulously, which must be slack and contemptuous.Coupled with his indifference to his body, he did not know how much he had suffered.

Cui Yan said: "When did your master accept you?"

At the mention of nothing, Chen Zhi became vigilant: "When I was a teenager."

Cui Yan said: "You are not yet 20 years old."

The old fairy who pretended to be tender felt a little ashamed: "Oh. Then it will be earlier."

Cui Yan said: "The master of Shangyang Temple has great powers, have you never thought about asking him to help you?"

"Well, my master is born out of this world, so I don't care about such mundane things."

Cui Yan touched his face distressedly.After finally having a backer, but finding that backer is not reliable, I must have felt even more disappointed at that time.He asked, "Why did your master accept you?"

Chen Zhi thought that his previous remarks had exposed his flaws, and he was being tortured, so he became more cautious: "Master... he is more casual, and he thinks that I have a good eye, and I don't know why. Why are you asking this?"

Cui Yan said, "I know why your master is."

"Why?"

"Closing eyes."

"...Don't come here! The first time we met, you gave me a knife. Is this called closing eyes?"

Cui Yan said: "Of course. If it doesn't suit your eyes, I won't do it myself." He suddenly went to look through Chen Zhi's clothes, "Where did Cui Jiao stab you? Does it matter?"

Chen Zhi patted his white belly: "Don't worry, there is no trace left."

It feels really good.

Cui Yan felt a little addicted: "Is there any hindrance in the future?"

"No... What do you mean it will hinder you in the future?" Chen Zhi thought it was a bit strange to say these words.

Cui Yan smiled and said, "Well, it will be in the future."

The two sat in front of the door and blew the breeze for a while before returning to the house to eat.When it was almost Haishi, Cui Yan finally remembered that there were still a group of people waiting for her to go back in the Yizheng Hall. Chen Zhi asked worriedly, "What about Zhang Quan?"

Cui Yan took the cloak that Chen Zhi handed over, and said with a sneer: "There is no one who is not pardoned, and the King of the Southwest is not worth mentioning." Zhang Quan, Gao Delai and the like, he never paid attention to.In the beginning, it was just to test Chen Zhi.

After leaving Qianqing Palace, thinking of Cui Jiao, he frowned in disgust: "Where's Cui Jiao?"

Immediately, a black armored soldier stepped forward: "It has been sent back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Cui Yan said coldly: "Send her to reunite with her parents."

Not long after the peaceful days, Zhang Quan finally jumped into the public's field of vision again.When he came back, he brought not only the [-] soldiers and horses he hid, but also part of the Southwest Army that collapsed after the death of the King of Southwest, totaling more than [-] troops.

Although he was not as good as the Southwest King, Zhang Quan was better than the Southwest King in a little bit - he was fighting in front of the gate of the capital with real swords and guns, rather than a illusory dark cloud above his head.

Fifty thousand soldiers and horses lined up.The defenders of the capital stood at the top of the city and looked down. There was a mass of human heads, and there was no end in sight. Occasionally, they met the eyes of the soldiers in the front row, and they could see murderous intent from them.

This time it's real, it's really going to invade the capital.

The ministers and common people who thought they had escaped began to howl again, and Chen Zhi had to hold another court meeting.

The first time you are born, the second time you are acquainted, it is still the old routine of crying and moving the capital.

Chen Zhi was very worried about their memory. How long had it been before Cui Yan's declaration of "I want to move to Fengdu" was forgotten?He corrected his posture and waited for the person next to him to go crazy.

Unexpectedly, Cui Yan didn't follow the rules: "It's too late to move the capital, I have a better proposal."

All the ministers expressed their willingness to hear the details.

Cui Yan said with a waned look: "Since you all think that we are bound to lose, then let's surrender."

"..."

Everyone who participated in the court meeting felt that they were dreaming, and this dream began since the sacrifice to heaven.

Suddenly, the Southwest King turned into a cloud and rushed in; suddenly, the Southwest King was inexplicably killed by his own people; suddenly, Zhang Quan stood on the opposite side; Yan suddenly relented and said she was going to surrender.

The situation developed so fast that people were caught off guard.

Is this a war of heroes fighting for hegemony? Why is it even more erratic than staged?

They looked at Chen Zhi who was sitting in a daze on the dragon chair, and felt relieved: Fortunately, the emperor is still the one who cannot be supported.

Cui Yan asked the military division to draft a letter of surrender, stamp it with a jade seal, and send it to the enemy camp.

Chen Zhi, who was watching the whole process, touched his chin and said, "Why is the jade seal stamped instead of your private seal?"

Cui Yan smiled and said, "My private seal is only for you." After speaking, a lip print was stamped on Chen Zhi's forehead.

Chen Zhi said, "Does my face look like a book?"

Cui Yan sighed: "Conquering you is much more difficult than besieging a city."

"Honestly, how do you plan to deal with Zhang Quan?"

"Why did you clean him up?"

"...Otherwise, why do you keep him? Think carefully, if you fall into his hands, with his usual shameless style, it is very likely that you will die!" There will be no good end for himself, he retreated to the door while talking, but was still grabbed by Cui Yan.

Cui Yan hugged his waist, and deliberately rubbed his slightly red earlobe with her lips: "Who do you want to let die?"

Chen Zhi confessed: "Let him."

"Let him?" Cui Yan was still very dissatisfied with the answer, and suddenly attacked his bottom with one hand.

Chen Zhi suddenly jumped up screaming like a cat with fury fur, covered his face with his face flushed, and stared at him in disbelief: "You you you... Where are you pinching? There is something wrong with you!"

Cui Yan sneered and said, "I just want you to see my methods of killing people."

Chen Zhi looked at him bitterly for a long time, and found that his fierce eyes of "persuading others to be kind" really couldn't do anything to his thick skin, so he clutched his little darling and ran away in a hurry.

Zhang Quan, who accepted the surrender letter, was happy for a while, then calmed down.Fifty thousand soldiers and horses are a lot for ordinary people, but for Cui Yan who is known as the "Heavenly Master", it may not be an invincible number.

In this battle, he had come here with the determination to win or be benevolent, but Cui Yan's showing weakness made him even more suspicious.

He convened his cronies to discuss it, and unanimously decided that it was okay to surrender, and he sent Chen Yingke's head along with Cui Yan and Cui Jiao!

It is conceivable what kind of turmoil this receipt will cause in the court.

Walking on the road, Chen Zhi felt that everyone looked at him in layers: above, the head to be given away; below, the body that no one wanted.

The royalist faction headed by Yin Shangong immediately went to the palace to persuade Cui Yan that even if a person dies, he must die dignifiedly and must not suffer such humiliation.

Cui Yan called Chen Zhi over and asked his opinion.

Chen Zhi grasped the key to another question: "Where is Cui Jiao?"

……

Grass is growing on the grave.

Cui Yan touched her lips: "Choose a few beautiful ladies from noble families to replace them."

Chen Zhi said: "Since you have decided to sacrifice yourself, I have nothing to say."

Yin Monkey and the others were shocked.

Yin Shangong said: "Your Majesty! Death is more important than Mount Tai, and some are lighter than a feather. A villain like Zhang Quan who is so rebellious, even if we send your head to him, he may go back on his word. We must not fall for it."

Chen Zhi said: "Don't worry, with Cui Tianshi's good looks...ahem...wisdom and courage, he will definitely be able to solve it easily! Right?"

Cui Yan said with a smile: "Isn't Your Majesty worried that I'm exhausted?"

The relaxed atmosphere of the conversation between the two did not look like someone who was going to die.Yin Shangong and the others looked at each other, and couldn't help asking: "I wonder if the two of you already have a countermeasure?"

Chen Zhi said honestly, "Really not."

Yin Shangong said: "Then why...is your Majesty not nervous at all?"

Chen Zhi looked at Cui Yan, and said sincerely, sincerely, and sincerely, "Because I believe in the Celestial Master."

Do not wear flattery.

Cui Yan, who was so comforted, finally decided to reveal a little information: "The total number of my black-armored soldiers abroad should be 20. Among them, [-] were broken up and hidden in Taiyuan."

Chen Zhi was dumbfounded when he heard that: "That, that time, the King of Southwest invaded Taiyuan..."

Cui Yan smiled and said: "Naturally, I let the water go. Only by getting rid of Shan Bushe, can we concentrate on dealing with the Southwest King. The [-] soldiers and horses can coordinate with the capital and attack back and forth. Unfortunately, the arrangement was wasted."

Chen Zhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking that it was a very happy thing that the King of Southwest died so quickly - because he kept his ignorance.

"However, there is no need to go to great lengths to deal with Zhang Quan."

"What do you want?"

"Keep teasing him."

It is said to tease Zhang Quan, but in fact, even civil and military officials are entertained.Because after Zhang Quan's request was made, Cui Yan quickly repented and said that she would not surrender.

Zhang Quan was so furious that he personally led a thousand cavalry to start a scolding battle under the city.

After scolding like this all afternoon, at night, the siege finally began.

The black armored soldiers stood at the top of the city, smashing rocks and trees, and finally smashed people down.

Zhang Quan had fought so many battles, but this was the first time he encountered someone who hit someone.After some investigation, I found out that these are the prisoners who were killed by Qiuhou Wen. Because of the fall of the capital, they have not been executed for a long time. Now they are giving their lives to the cause of defending the city.

Zhang Quan was so angry: "Continue to attack! Tell the people in the city that if they don't hand over Chen Yingke's head, after the city is broken, I will massacre the city!"

Chen Zhi's head was quickly packed into a wooden box and sent outside the city. After many inspections, it was sent to Zhang Quan.Although Chen Zhi didn't have much contact with him, deep down in his heart, he always hated him.Not only because Cui Yan looked at him differently, but also because he had the supreme status since he was born.

Now, seeing this agile head lying in the wooden box with a gray face, Zhang Quan felt a secret joy in his heart.He pinched that lifeless face, as if feeling the feeling when Cui Yan pinched him.

Dead for a while, less tactile than a young and energetic maiden.

Zhang Quan withdrew his fingers contemptuously: "What does Cui Yan mean?"

The envoy who sent the head said: "The Heavenly Master said, the head will be delivered, please keep the promise, General Zhang, and don't massacre the city."

Zhang Quan sneered and said, "It's easy to say! Since you don't want to be massacred, then surrender early!"

The envoy said: "I will reply to the Heavenly Master as soon as possible."

Not long after, Cui Yan expressed her intention to surrender again.This time he surrendered with full sincerity. Not only did he hang a white flag on the top of the city, but he also simply opened the city gate. His frank appearance seemed to have really admitted defeat.

Although Zhang Quan was reckless, after suffering so many losses, he finally learned a little bit.He listened to a few staff members and sent thousands of people in first.About half an hour later, someone replied that there was no ambush inside.

Zhang Quan was still worried, and sent another 1 people in, and they were still safe and sound.The first few thousand people who went in had already entered the palace, and all the way was unimpeded.

The staff suggested that Zhang Quan bring another 2 people in and leave [-] outside the city to support him.

Zhang Quan thought it was good, and led his troops into the capital mightily.

The shops along the street were all closed, and there were no people on the road, but there were still some noises in the houses, and occasionally dogs barking could be heard.

Revisiting the old place, my mood changed drastically.At that time, he was still following Gao Delai, playing tricks heartlessly, but now he returned, even though he had an army of [-], he was alone.

He suddenly thought of Cui Jiao.

That poor man who is as beautiful as a fairy but whose life is thinner than paper.It's not that I don't like it, but no matter how much I like it, it can't compare with my own life.Cui Yan's younger sister is also blind, how could he be with her all the time?

However, after he captures the imperial palace, he can take her into his house, where the golden house hides her beauty.

And her brother...

Thinking of Cui Yan, Zhang Quan's heart beat violently.One side is hate, the other side is itching.Such a beautiful and powerful man, I don't know how wonderful it will be when he is pressed under him.

After thinking about everyone, he finally thought of his bad wife.

I don't know how many lifetimes of blessings she has cultivated to be able to marry herself, live in a daze, and become a queen after living.

Zhang Quan couldn't help laughing out loud.

"General, what do you think that is?"

A cry interrupted his thoughts.

Zhang Quan followed his gaze and saw a man with long hair standing on the top of a tall tower.

Even though his face was blurred from a distance, he immediately recognized him as Cui Yan.

Not by face, but by intuition.

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

Zhang Quan realized that something was wrong, and immediately turned his horse's head, preparing to escape.

It's too late.

Not far from the street is the Temple of Heaven.

As Cui Yan threw down a command flag, several white lights rushed out from the Temple of Heaven and shot towards Zhang Quan's direction.

At the same time, [-] black armored soldiers had crossed the Taihang Mountains and gathered towards the capital.

A big game of catching a turtle in a urn quietly started.

Some people don't believe in God, some people don't believe in destiny, and some people like Zhang Quan don't believe in evil.Before seeing those illusory white lights scattering his soldiers and horses, he always felt that Cui Yan's reputation as a celestial master was exaggerated.

Turning beans into soldiers, turning stone into gold... are all tricks to deceive people.

However, when he really realized his insignificance, it was too late.

Cui Yan rushed down from the top of the tower, snatched a knife from other soldiers, and flew towards him.

Zhang Quan jumped off his horse in a panic and hid in the circle surrounded by his cronies.Cui Yan brandished the knife in her hand, beheaded the two people in the front row, and took his head.A series of movements were flowing, elegant and calm, but he couldn't appreciate them at all.Zhang Quan only felt that every knife he swung freely seemed to be chopped on his neck, without entering the flesh, he already felt the killing intent.

Seeing him approaching, Zhang Quan yelled: "Cui Yan, do you dare to challenge me one-on-one?"

This question is really ridiculous.

He was the one hiding in the crowd from beginning to end, and now he still asks others if they dare to single out.

Cui Yan took up a saber flower and split the two people standing in front of Zhang Quan.

Zhang Quan drew out his long knife to block.

Cui Yan's knife is the most common soldier's knife, but Zhang Quan's is a steel knife made by famous masters and tailored to the individual.But at the moment of the confrontation, the knife in Zhang Quan's hand was cut through a hole.

This cut was not a loss to the knife, but a fighting spirit.

From the moment Cui Yan made a move, Zhang Quan's mentality was broken.

But at this time, he has no way to retreat, no way to avoid, so he can only bite the bullet and rush forward.

It's two swords intersecting again.

Cui Yan stared at him colder than Daofeng: "Why do you have to struggle to the death?"

"It's unknown who is dying!" Zhang Quan pressed the knife with his palm and pushed it forward. Cui Yan used a skillful force to release the remaining force from the knife and slashed at Zhang Quan's neck with his backhand.

His knife skills are clean and neat, without any extra tricks, but every move is deadly.

Zhang Quan tried his best to escape, but his feet slipped and he fell backwards.

Cui Yan seized the opportunity, took advantage of the victory to pursue, soared into the air, and slashed down on the head.

At this time, Zhang Quan, who was supposed to be weightless, suddenly shook his sleeves, and a handful of medicinal powder was thrown up all over the sky.

Cui Yan realized that it was not good, and had already inhaled a little. The familiar smell of crisp and numbness could only remind him of one person——

Damn Jiang Yi.

If it's a general drug, he doesn't have to take it seriously, but Jiang Yi...

Cui Yan turned around and left.

How could Zhang Quan, who had finally seen the dawn of victory, let him go, turned around and chased after him.The black armored soldiers and Zhang Quan's cronies, who were guarding their one-on-one fair duel, rushed forward when they saw this, and the scene was chaotic.

Chen Zhi, who used the invisibility talisman to fish in the troubled waters of the crowd, was squeezed to one side, almost got stabbed several times, and moved to the edge of the battlefield after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, when Cui Yan suddenly yelled: "Idiot!"

His voice was not loud, and it was extremely weak amidst the yelling, but it was enough for Chen Zhi who was always paying attention to him.

Chen Zhi immediately squeezed back.

As soon as she got close to Cui Yan, before she had time to show her body, she was hugged and kissed her face.

Chen Zhi wanted to let go, but the other party had pried open his mouth familiarly, stuck his tongue in, and then a huge suction force aroused the dragon energy that had been silent for a long time in his body, and attracted him with an irresistible force...

What is the picture of kissing a person with an invisibility symbol?

Although the picture is beautiful, the scene is too intense, and the people around have no time and energy to care about it. They can only protect two people and move to the edge of the battlefield.

Zhang Quan finally realized that this is a good opportunity to escape, no longer obsessed with chasing and killing Cui Yan, and under the protection of his cronies, he fought and retreated.
