Tread thousands of dust

Shu Qiyun yelled directly at Xiao Qian: "Xiao Qian, you connived Shu Renlu to seal the city and seize the palace for the purpose of treason, and now you dare to stop the prince, aren't you afraid of death?"

Xiao Qian rode on his horse and said disdainfully: "His Royal Highness, you have been the crown prince for so many years, but it is a pity that you can't become the emperor. You must feel a pity in your heart?"

"You dare to say such bastard words!" Shu Qiyun felt angrily, and directly drew his sword to chop at Xiao Qian.

Naturally, Xiao Qian is not a freelancer. Although his martial arts can't keep up with Shu Qiyun, he has a lot of actual combat, which is more or less better than Shu Qiyun's experience.

Fighting started quickly in front of the city gate, a group of people got up and fell down again, but Shu Qiyun's side still couldn't gain the upper hand, Shu Qiyun was suppressed by Xiao Qian little by little, and he couldn't even give Xiao Qian a blow.

Just when he thought he was going to be cut by Xiao Qian, a long sword hilt entered from outside, blocking Xiao Qian's knife.

Xun Can stopped in front of him.

Shu Qiyun took a few breaths, then remembered Xun Can's injury, he said anxiously:

"A Can!"

Xiao Qian said with a smile: "Xun Can, Xun Can, you are such a good dog. I underestimated you. The people I sent just now are already the best soldiers, and they didn't kill you."

Drenched in blood, Xun Can also laughed: "You should give this title to yourself. Even if you listen to Shu Renlu, General Xiao seems really desperate."

Xiao Qian withdrew his smile and said angrily in a cold voice: "When you expelled me from the Shadow Vine Army, you probably didn't expect that I would be here today, right? Let me tell you, these are all given to me by King Wei Bin! I just want you to let Xun Can Look, what if I, Xiao Qian, are not in the Yingteng Army, now even the Yongfu Army is mine!"

Blood was surging in Xun Can's chest, and he really didn't want to talk anymore.

Behind him, Shu Qiyun kept tugging on Xun Can's sleeves, and he silently stood beside Xun Can.

"Acan, I'm with you."

Xun Can nodded speechlessly, and Xiao Qian smiled again: "If I can kill you all together, His Royal Highness King Wei Bin will definitely reward me."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Qian raised his long saber, and at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of the city gate being knocked open behind him!

A large group of men in black jumped in from the city gate, ran in from the knocked open city gate, and came out from various places... It was all-pervasive, just like the night half a year ago, there were so many The man in black just broke into the palace.

Xiao Qian suddenly felt a wave of fear, he raised his saber to slash at Xun Can, Shu Qiyun and Xun Can also raised their swords together.

Xun Can was originally worried that he would die under Xiao Qian's knife, but when he opened his eyes again, a long sword had been inserted into Xiao Qian's chest.

Then he fell down unwillingly with his eyes open.

Behind Xiao Qian stood a man in black. The man drew out his long sword, then took off his black cloth mask, knelt down and said:

"The secret guards of the Wenyu League came late to save me, and I hope the general will forgive me."

Xun Can was taken aback: "...Pei Zhixu?"

Shu Qiyun was also surprised: "Didn't you follow Mo Fengyi back to Pan Xiaotai?"

Pei Zhixu said lightly: "Yes, my subordinates have been lurking inside and outside the imperial city to protect General Xun's safety."

Xun Can felt a little pain from the wound, and he couldn't stand anymore.

"Mo Fengyi... want you to stay and protect me?"

Pei Zhixu responded: "This subordinate is only staying in the imperial city at the order of the lord, but the general's news is very secretive, and the subordinate doesn't know much about it. For the past six months, the subordinate can only stay outside the city...so now Closing the city, the subordinates will be late."

Xun Can snorted coldly, touching the wound on his face.

"No...you can go."

But Shu Qiyun refused: "Ah Can, now is not the time to be arrogant, Pei Zhixu, how many people do you have here, can you take us to the military camp outside the city safely?"

Xun Can tried to speak out: "Your Highness...I don't want to be with him..."

Shu Qiyun directly stopped him: "A Can, there must be pursuers outside the city, don't you want to save Father and the others?"

Now Xun Can stopped talking.

Pei Zhixu said in a low voice: "Back to His Royal Highness, the hidden guards of the Wenyu League can now gather 700 people, and most of the pursuers outside the city have been cleared by us. Your Highness and the general can leave the city safely."

Shu Qiyun finally felt relieved.

"Then I'll go there first. Ah Can, you stay here and rest first, I'll bring troops to pick you up later."

Xun Can had no reason to refute at all, he watched with a gloomy expression as someone bandaged and cleaned his wound.

Shu Qiyun rode a horse and rushed to the barracks with Pei Zhixu.

Shu Qiyun asked as he walked: "Could it be that you have been in the imperial city for more than half a year? Did Mo Fengyi never let you go back?"

Pei Zhixu said in a deep voice: "The lord did not give me any other orders, but only told me to protect General Xun in an emergency."

"A critical time?" Shu Qiyun sneered, "He hurt Ah Can like that, and still wants to protect him?"

Pei Zhixu said helplessly: "Leader... he didn't mean it."

Shu Qiyun just smiled: "Then will he come back? Ah Can's injury is almost healed."

Pei Zhixu worried: "Didn't General Xun only suffer from flesh wounds? How could he recuperate for so long?"

Shu Qiyun lowered her eyes, but said: "A Can's constitution is such that it is difficult to heal from injuries."

Pei Zhixu knew that he didn't want to say more, so he also remained silent.

Royal Palace.

Shu Renlu was dressed in military attire and held a long sword. Behind him were thousands of troops. He stepped up the long steps step by step.

Xiang Qianrong and Ying Chaosheng were standing at the top of the long steps, they looked at each other, and then clenched their swords tightly.

Standing in front of them, Shu Renlu sneered: "It's up to you? Do you think this can stop my army?"

Xiang Qianrong said indifferently: "Looking back now, you may still have a way out."

Shu Renlu laughed endlessly: "Turn back? Look at the people behind me, can I turn back? Have you ever given me a chance to turn back?"

Xiang Qianrong said again: "His Royal Highness Wei Bin, if you want to break into the Quansheng Temple now, you really have no chance of turning back."

Shu Renlu roared angrily: "I'm telling you Xiang Qianrong! No one can stop me now! Do you think Shu Qiyun can bring troops to rescue you? Xun Can is dead! It is impossible for Shu Qiyun to go out of the city to find the Yingteng Army! I will be The future emperor! If you bow your head and surrender now, I promise to let you live!"

Xiang Qianrong treated each other coldly, and Ying Chaosheng didn't want to talk nonsense: "Then, Your Highness, it seems that we have nothing to talk about."

The two sides fought, but they didn't please.

Shu Hanxu sat quietly on the dragon chair, he couldn't see what was going on outside, and he didn't want to.

Shu Renlu was fighting happily when he suddenly turned around and saw the banner of the Yingteng Army!

"how is this possible......"

Shu Qiyun rode a horse and galloped into the imperial city, behind him were also countless soldiers.

Shu Qiyun got off the horse, and also stepped up the long steps step by step.

"Brother Huang, you can't win, stop it."

Shu Renlu stood panting with blood all over his body, and he said in disbelief with red eyes: "How could you be alive...bring soldiers to the palace..."

Shu Qiyun said indifferently: "Brother Emperor, the Yingteng Army is far stronger than the Yongfu Army, you have no chance of winning."

"Don't be ridiculous! Do you think I will believe you! I will either die or win today, there is no other possibility."

Shu Qiyun's eyes were cold, and he said silently: "Then there is no other way."

Countless Beiyi soldiers were fighting in their most revered palace. They all wore the same military uniform, but unfortunately they could still be distinguished. Just like this, one fell down and the other stepped on his corpse and stood up again. Blood was sprayed on the ground. The palace has long steps, and it can no longer be washed clean.

In the end, Shu Renlu was escorted to Shu Hanxu with injuries all over his body.

Shu Hanxu said wearily: "Why?"

Shu Renlu didn't even want to lift his head, he looked at the delicate blankets and patterns on the ground.

"I want to be emperor, what is the reason?"

Shu Hanxu signaled others to go down, Shu Qiyun was worried at first, but Shu Hanxu said it was fine.

Naturally, Xiang Qianrong and Ying Chaosheng also came out, and Xiang Qianrong saw Xun Can who was supported by Pei Zhixu at a glance.

"What's wrong with you? Are you seriously injured?"

Xun Can shook his head: "It was bandaged, and it's much better now."

Xiang Qianrong's eyes turned to his side: "Aren't you Mo Fengyi's subordinate? Why are you here?"

Before Pei Zhixu could speak, Xun Can said silently, "It's nothing, he helped me and the crown prince get out of the city."

Xiang Qianrong was baffled.

Suddenly there was a thunderstorm in the sky, and light rain started to fall into the ground.

Shu Renlu was untied, but he couldn't even get up, so he could only sit on his knees.

"Father... Should I still call you Father?"

Shu Hanxu sighed: "You know?"

"Oh." Shu Renlu snorted coldly, "After so many years, I thought it was because of how bad I was that you didn't like me...It turns out that no matter how good I am, it's useless...You never Without my son..."

Shu Hanxu got up from the dragon chair, came down slowly and said: "My child...Actually, you shouldn't be like this...It's my fault, I shouldn't let you be my son. "

"That's right...you really shouldn't recognize me as your son...but do you know what's wrong? It's my identity that only the world recognizes...but you never However, you only gave me a title, but you didn't give me the same love..." Shu Renlu had tears in his eyes, blood all over his body, he looked sad and hideous, but also fragile.

Shu Hanxu sighed: "If I knew this, I should have sent you out and let you live an ordinary life. At least I didn't have to have so many distracting thoughts, so I wasted my life."

"Father! I have called you your father for the rest of your life! Is the child really wrong? Shouldn't I expect to be treated equally by you? I know that I have made many mistakes. I embezzled the treasury, and I stole weapons. I bullied Caichen...you never scolded me, I thought you were really partial to me...later I realized that this is laissez-faire, you want the world to see Look, look at what I, the eldest son of the emperor, look like... you want to let the world know that I am not worthy of being an emperor!" Shu Hanxu roared heartbroken, he felt his throat filled with fishy blood , the physical injury was almost unconscious, but he suddenly enjoyed a moment of pleasure.

Shu Hanxu put his hand on his head, and he said slowly: "Originally, you could enjoy the glory for the rest of your life, but why did you have such a treacherous heart?"

"You should ask yourself this." Shu Renlu looked up at the Ninth Five-Year Lord with tears in his eyes. He now feels that this father is very strange, as if he has never been strange, "Why did you give me this ambition? qualification, and cut off my chance to realize it?"

"Even if you are my son, look at what you have done these years, are you worthy of my dragon chair!" Shu Hanxu sternly said, "If you are benevolent, filial, loyal and dedicated to serving the country, why are you here now? You Will you go down this road of no return?"

Shu Renlu smiled wryly and shook his head, he never knew this possibility, in fact, he also thought about it.He thought that if he was serious about serving the country and the people like Shu Qiyun, it's ridiculous to say that he used to think so, but he didn't know when he discovered that even if he made a mistake, his father didn't seem to be wrong. care.

So it was like this, he tried and made mistakes again and again, and his father forgave him again and again, or turned a blind eye again and again, until now, according to what Shu Hanxu said, he has embarked on a road of no return.

It's not that Shu Renlu hasn't imagined another possibility, but it seems that there is no such possibility.

Shu Renlu asked indifferently: "Father... I don't know if you still remember, I was only ten years old at that time, and my second brother and I went hunting with you... The second brother shot A deer, but I was injured and almost broke my leg...but you didn't ask me about my injury at all, you just rewarded the second brother happily...probably from that time Let's get started, I wonder why you don't care about me..."

Shu Hanxu sighed: "My child...you shouldn't be like this."

"But it's already like this!" Shu Renlu burst into tears, and he didn't care about anything, "What are you going to do to compensate me! Why didn't your mother tell me when she died! Why do you treat me better than an outsider! Mo Feng different from him Why!"

"Your mother is also wrong... But I have no other way, I can only do this."

Shu Renlu smiled and nodded in a trance, feeling inexplicably ridiculous: "Yes...you are all forced to do this, you all have difficulties and reasons...so I am not important at all, I shouldn't have existed..."

Shu Hanxu's heart is not as hard as it was when he was young, he still wants to reach out to touch Shu Renlu's head and pat him on the shoulder.

"Not...uh!"

Shu Hanxu watched helplessly as Shu Renlu, who was originally weak, suddenly jumped up. He did not know what was in his hand, and stabbed fiercely into Shu Hanxu's chest.

Only after Shu Hanxu sensed it did he realize that it was a silver needle, probably poisoned.

"Father... This is the last time I will call you Father. There will be no such chance in the future." Shu Renlu's palm was already empty, and he found himself trembling uncontrollably, "I'm afraid you didn't expect that I still have Hidden weapon... I originally prepared this poisonous needle for myself... But I am not reconciled... I am not reconciled to dying like this! Why should I forgive you! Why should I bear all this by myself!"

"Father...let your son accompany you."

Shu Hanxu kept looking at him so deeply, and finally smiled suddenly, then lost his strength and fell to the ground.

The thunder outside the window made Shu Renlu's heart palpitate, and he twitched several times.

Shu Qiyun and the others knocked on the door for a long time but there was no movement, and finally it was worth breaking in without following the order.

Shu Qiyun's eyes widened immediately, his expression full of fear: "Father!"

Shu Qiyun rushed up to help Shu Hanxu up.

Shu Renlu smiled brightly.

Xun Can and Xiang Qianrong Ying Chaosheng watched this scene in disbelief, and Xun Can was helped to stand in front of Shu Renlu.

"what have you done?"

Shu Renlu just asked: "Are you here to kill me?"

Xun Can looked at him with dim eyes, without any emotion.

Shu Qiyun could no longer detect Shu Hanxu's breath, his eyes were filled with tears, and finally burst out.

"Father! Shu Renlu, I must kill you!"

After saying that, Xun Can drew his sword and pointed it at Shu Renlu.

The man just raised his face and smiled lightly: "Xun Can, don't you ever think about becoming an emperor? Didn't Shu Chen draw that puppet after killing Shu Qiyun?"

After saying that, Xun Can raised his sword and dropped it, cutting his throat.

Shu Qiyun's eyes were red: "I should have done it."

Xun Can said indifferently: "After all, we are brothers. Your Highness cannot fight each other. The last general should do it for you."

The rain outside the hall is getting heavier.

Xun Can covered his wound and knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor has passed away, and the traitor Shu Renlu has been killed on the spot. Please also invite His Royal Highness to ascend the throne!"

Shu Qiyun was surprised: "What did you say?"

Xiang Qianrong and Ying Chaosheng also knelt down immediately.

"Please also invite His Royal Highness to ascend the throne!"

Shu Qiyun's mood was fluctuating and he couldn't tell what it was like.

He didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

There was still a little chill in Pan Xiaotai.

Ling Ziming was originally very peaceful and healthy, but after a night of heavy rain, the road surface of Pan Xiaotai was slippery, so she stumbled for no apparent reason.

Therefore, not only was it extremely difficult for this child to be born, but she almost died.

Mo Fengyi pretended to be calm at the door, but in fact he felt his legs were trembling.

The midwife came in and out, running back and forth, making him dizzy and even more upset.

Mo Feng asked impatiently: "What's going on inside?"

A midwife trembled and said: "Although the girl is normally fit for childbearing...but her uterus is thin and weak, and she was frightened...it's hard to say... "

Mo Feng said fiercely: "I don't care what happens to the child, I only want my sister to be fine!"

"Yes yes yes! We will try our best!"

"Do what you can, nothing will happen!" Mo Fengyi wished he could rush in to see what was going on.

Fortunately, he heard the baby crying later, and when he entered, Ling Ziming was about to fall into a light sleep.

Mo Fengyi smiled lightly: "Are you tired? Go to sleep, I will tell them not to come in."

Ling Ziming said weakly: "Have you seen the child?"

"Not yet, I was taken out by the nanny." Mo Fengyi curled his lips, "It made you feel so uncomfortable, what do I think he is doing?"

Ling Ziming smiled helplessly: "It's a boy... Don't you want a daughter..."

"Who said I don't want a daughter anymore?" Mo Fengyi said displeasedly, "My son is not well-bred and naughty, how can I have a daughter?"

Ling Ziming really felt that he was not satisfied, so he simply said: "I'm tired, you go out too."

Mo Fengyi tucked her in the quilt and said, "Okay, I'll wake you up later to eat something."

Ling Ziming closed her eyes obediently.

Mo Fengyi went out and closed the door, and turned around to see Gongsun Songli's bright smiling face.

Mo Fengyi just nodded his head and smiled copiously before going out. Gongsun Songli was still wondering why he was unhappy.

When Mo Feng entered the main hall, a dark guard in black knelt down to him, holding an envelope in his hand.

"Eight hundred miles from the imperial city, hurry up, please accept it from the lord."

Mo Fengyi took the envelope and opened it indifferently, his eyes trembling violently.

"The emperor... died?"

The dark guard lowered his head and did not dare to lift it up: "Yes... the imperial city only released the news today, and Pan Xiaotai is the first to receive the news now."

"Shu Renlu intended to rebel, and he was killed on the spot..." Mo Fengyi looked at the black and white words in his hand, why did he feel so unreal, "So is the crown prince succeeding to the throne? Pei Zhixu... There is no need to stay in the imperial city, let him come back."

The dark guard said in a low voice: "Yes, Mr. Changmao also asked his subordinates to inform the leader that the dark guards of the imperial city of the Wenyu League have also suffered a lot in assisting His Royal Highness to destroy the rebels, but the detailed situation needs to be reported after he returns. Report to the lord."

"Assist Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Mo Fengyi made a rough idea in his mind. He asked Pei Zhixu to stay and protect Xun Can. I'm afraid Xun Can needed help at that time.

"Understood, let's go down."

The dark guard disappeared quickly, and Mo Fengyi put the letter on the oil lamp, watching it burn slowly.
