Bright moon out of Tianshan

Qi Jia looked up at her monarch, and suddenly knelt down on one knee, with a calm face, and said solemnly: "I don't want to discuss the merits of the monarch. As long as your majesty is happy, I have no objection."

Zhao Yuancai stared at him, smiled, and said, "Why did you say that the reinforcements from all walks of life have not arrived?"

Qi Jia said: "There are small groups of Eastern Qi troops making troubles in various places, deliberately preventing our Zhao Guo soldiers from coming, and it is delayed day by day. So the reinforcements are delayed. If your majesty is worried, I want to break out of the city and go to check it in detail. As soon as I leave, there is no one trustworthy around His Majesty, so I can't rest assured."

Zhao Yuancai waved his hand and said, "I'm such a big man, and I'm not a weak scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken. Don't worry, just be careful of your own safety." Qi Jia agreed, and hurried out of the palace with a group of guards and go.

The emperor walked slowly to the gate of Chenghua Hall, and looked out from a high position.Night had already fallen, and a large number of guards stood outside the door, just like usual.However, he suddenly felt that today's Taiyuan City and the Imperial Palace were strangely peaceful, with an ambiguous and unspeakable atmosphere.

Zhao Yuancai faintly panicked in his heart, looked around, but suddenly saw Xiao Jian standing in the open space not far from the gate of the palace, without the bronze mask bestowed by the emperor, staring at himself blankly, with a bright and elegant face, and clear and gentle eyes.Since he was in the water prison in Luzhou, because he was afraid of the cold, in the late spring, he also wrapped a thick scarlet cloak embroidered with a black phoenix pattern, and his soft long hair was blown gently in the night wind. flicking.

The two were silent for a moment, Zhao Yuancai said, "Xiaoxiao, how are you?"

Xiao Jian said: "I was able to get up yesterday. Seeing that His Majesty is busy, he didn't come to disturb you."

Zhao Yuancai stretched out a hand to him and called, "Come here."

Xiao Jian followed his advice and walked up the steps to his side, and put his hand in his palm.Zhao Yuancai said: "I've been sick for the past two days, have you done nothing wrong?"

Xiao Jian said, "It's done."

Zhao Yuancai said, "What are you doing again?"

Xiao Jian smiled and said nothing, Zhao Yuancai sighed and said, "Today, Taiyuan City and the Imperial Palace are so quiet, what's the matter?"

Xiao Jian said: "There are [-] soldiers of Eastern Qi under the ground of Taiyuan City. They didn't die in the battle, but fell into a trick and were buried alive. I think there is a lot of resentment, and they should be infiltrated."

Zhao Yuancai put his arms around his waist and said, "Are you blaming me? They've already hit the door of the house, what can I do?"

Xiao Jian said: "No. Your Majesty doesn't need to do anything. In a war between two countries, casualties are inevitable. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. No one needs to blame anyone."

Zhao Yuancai turned his face to look carefully, and said, "Your complexion is not very good, why are your hands so cold?"

Xiao Jian said: "Because I'm nervous." As soon as he finished speaking, several fireworks and rockets suddenly rose from all over the Zhao Kingdom's palace, and exploded crackling in the air. Dreamlike.

Zhao Yuancai turned his head and stared blankly at the bustling sky, and said in a deep voice: "It's not a festival, what kind of fireworks are set off? Who did this? Xiaoxiao, who did this?!"

Xiao Jian looked at him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the second batch of soldiers from Dong Qi entered the city through the tunnel. The fireworks are the signal, and now they have surrounded the palace."

Zhao Yuancai was shocked all over, stopped talking, and chuckled after a while, and said: "Are you lying to me? If it is true, why did you run to my side now, are you not afraid that I will kill you? The tunnel is well sealed Yes, how did they get in? Xiaoxiao, you must be lying to me."

Xiao Jian said: "Your Majesty, even if you want to kill me, you have to wait for me to speak clearly before you kill. Now that the matter is up to now, I don't want to hide it from you. The authentic blueprint is in the underground palace of the Royal Study Room. Me, she is the head of the Ecstasy Hall of the Fourth Hall of Jiangnan Five Great Halls. She is good at detecting various organs. No matter how secret the hidden things are, they cannot escape her eyes. I hid the blueprints and letters in the tail feathers of the feather arrows. The arrow hit the third prince. I once learned stone carving in the Taiyuan quarry, and re-carved a jade seal and put it on the dragon's head, so the door of the secret passage has been opened, and now they... have really entered the city."

He spoke slowly, and Zhao Yuancai listened silently. His tall figure exuded a cold air. After he finished speaking, he suddenly burst into laughter: "I believe it! You can do this completely! So you are I'm pretending to be sick! When I'm pretending to be sick, I don't delay in doing any bad things! My little beauty, it's lucky that I still send someone to greet you every day! Hahaha, Lord, I really got screwed this time!" His voice Miserably, like crazy, like crazy, but in the words are endless disappointment and pain, helplessness and sadness.

Xiao Jian looked at him intently, and said: "Your Majesty, I reminded you in the letter to Dong Qi that the third prince will definitely treat the prisoners of war well, and treat everyone in your Majesty's harem well, including the queen and princes, and of course... "He bit his lip, but suddenly stopped, and did not continue.

Zhao Yuancai understood. She glanced at him coldly, then turned her eyes elsewhere, and slowly swept across her magnificent and magnificent palace, and the splendid Taiyuan City in the night. Became a cloud?This is rich and ordinary, but how can it be transcendent?

Zhao Yuancai smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a loud voice: "I am honored as the Ninth Five-Year Lord, but I gave away the hundred-year foundation of my ancestors. I am ashamed of my ancestors! What face is there to survive in the world? Xiaoxiao, You underestimate me too much!" Tears welled up in Xiao Jian's eyes, he lowered his head and said nothing.

At this time, the faint sounds of handing over weapons came from around the palace, accompanied by shouts and screams, it seemed that the [-] imperial guards guarding the imperial city had started a battle with the Eastern Qi soldiers, and then the voices got closer and closer, gradually approaching Chenghua Hall surrounded them.

Zhao Yuancai listened quietly, but Xiao Jian looked up at him again, and then said: "Your Majesty, let them stop resisting. Three thousand soldiers are no match for fifty thousand soldiers. They will only hurt innocent people."

Zhao Yuancai said: "It is their duty to protect the monarch, and it is an honor to die!" Seeing the soldiers of Dongqi break through the defense lines everywhere, groups rushed in, surrounded by a round-faced boy in green and a man in black. Under the leadership of the leader, they surrounded Chenghua Hall in groups, but they dared not move forward from a distance. They just stretched their bows and arrows, and the arrows pointed at Zhao Yuancai and dozens of guards under the steps.Tens of thousands of people surrounded these dozens of people, and if they wanted to break through, it was absolutely impossible.If Xiao Jian is taken as a hostage, according to Xiao Jian's temper, he will take the initiative to crash and die under his knife.Zhao Yuancai quickly thought about several possibilities and despaired.

The young man in green is Shen Huanhuan, the leader of the Jiangnan Five Halls, and the man in black is Zhong Ruota's deputy, Yao Zhuzhi. When Shen Huanhuan saw Xiao Jian, he asked, "Xiao Jian, where is Xiao Xuefei?"

Xiao Jian glanced sideways at Zhao Yuancai, but did not answer him, Zhao Yuancai said coldly: "You mean Linglong, she was killed by me!"

Shen Huanhuan's face froze, he was always calm, but his hands shook slightly, and he slowly raised the light blue scimitar in his hand, murderous aura emanated from his body, like a tiger ready to go, and then he made a serious move He wanted to rush out, but he heard someone behind him say: "Wait a minute."

The soldiers moved out of the way, and a group of people came in. The leader was Gao Huai, and beside him were Lin Zaichun, Hou Tianxiang, Nie Shihuan, He Mian, the five heavenly kings, and even Xiumei, Ari Silan and others who came from Luoyang. Ding Wuxia.

When Xiao Jian saw his brother-in-law, he smiled at him. Gao Huai looked around Xiao Jian's face, then turned to Zhao Yuancai's face, and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor of Zhao, if you can submit to our dynasty, you should do so as a favor." Treat each other like princes and princes."

Zhao Yuancai sneered: "Bullshit! Is the meeting of a prince as good as my own being the emperor? What kind of disobedient marquis do you want to make me, like Liu Ziyu, the emperor of Southern Shu, who bowed his head and professed his ministers? die!"

Gao Huai said in his heart: "In this case, I will not be polite." Looking at Xiao Jian who was beside him, he signaled with his eyes: "Come here, come quickly and come to me!"

Xiao Jian's gesture to him seemed to have disappeared, but Zhao Yuancai saw it clearly, and suddenly tightened his grip on Xiao Jian's hand, and said with a smile, "Xiao Xiao, His Royal Highness the Third Prince asked you to go there! Are you going?"

Xiao Jian trembled slightly, raised his head after a while, looked at Zhao Yuancai and forced a smile, but remained silent.Zhao Yuancai stared at his delicate and beautiful face, and said: "Very good! Even if you want to go, I will not let you go! Come with me!" Xiao Jian staggered all the way into the Chenghua Palace.

Gao Huai's face changed drastically, and he said in a low voice: "Go into the palace!" The soldiers of the Eastern Qi Dynasty fired arrows at once, and dozens of guards of Zhao Kingdom struggled to resist under the chaos of arrows, and fell to the ground and died.

The lamps and candles in the hall are bright and magnificent.Zhao Yuancai dragged Xiao Jian to the dragon chair placed in the center above, and pushed Xiao Jian to sit on it. With great force, Xiao Jian was thrown into severe pain all over his body, unable to move.Seeing that Zhao Yuancai actually took out a wine jug inlaid with gold and jade from the hidden compartment of the desk next to the wall behind the dragon chair, then picked up the two wine glasses on the desk, poured two glasses of wine and brought them over.

Xiao Jian raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this for?"

Zhao Yuancai put the wine on the dragon table beside him, and looked at him affectionately, his eyes were strange and extraordinary, and it was difficult to distinguish between sorrow and joy: "Xiao Xiao, I never knew what your heart is made of, it is as hard as iron. You tell me, what is your heart made of? I want a heart like this too, I really want it, tell me!"

Xiao Jian wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. After a while, he said: "Your Majesty, I am from Dongqi. My dream since childhood was to defend my family and country, and sweep the world for Dongqi. But I have no choice but to bear the reputation of being a second minister. I am despised, and almost have nowhere to serve the country. So I can no longer be a second official, I want to clear the reputation of my Xiao family, win a place for my family in Dongqi, and live in an upright manner. But I am really sorry for you. You You can do whatever you want! Today I will listen to you!"

People from Eastern Qi rushed into the hall, but they didn't dare to come forward, they could only watch from a distance, when they heard Xiao Jian's words, they all fell silent.

Ding Wuxia tentatively took a step forward, but Zhao Yuancai turned his head, and glanced coldly at the group of people who were staring at the throne under the throne. Suddenly, he drew his saber out of its sheath, slashed out, and brushed against Xiao Jian's head, his hairband broke. His long hair fell down, and with the slight wind of his saber, Gao Huai and Lin Zaichun gasped at the same time, almost rushed forward, but forcibly restrained their figures.Then Zhao Yuancai put the knife on his neck, and said coldly: "Whoever takes a step forward, blood will splatter on the spot!"

Gao Huai reached out his hand to block Ding Wuxia, and said in a low voice, "Don't move rashly!" He looked at the two of them intently.

Zhao Yuancai laughed, his smile was extremely desolate, he put the long knife behind his back with his backhand, and reached out to pick up the two glasses of wine: "Come on Xiaoxiao, this is the cup of wine between you and me in this life, let's drink it together, I won't forgive you At this moment when I, Zhao Yuancai, ruined my country and family, I swear by the ancestors of my Zhao family that in the next life, the next life, and thousands of lives, I will definitely entangle with you to the end, and I will never die!"
