In the hearts of the courtiers, Xie Zhao has always been an image of an elegant scholar.Seeing him furious and frightened and angry now, the nearby officials stopped talking for a moment and looked over in puzzlement.

Pei Shaonan glanced at Ruan Ping who was in a state of embarrassment, ignoring the apprehensive eyes around him, put his hand on Xie Zhao's arm, and stopped him in a low voice: "Xie Zhao, don't act rashly."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xie Zhao also knew that he should calm down.

But after taking a few deep breaths, he still opened his eyes and shook Pei Shaonan's hand away.He turned his head and glanced at Pei Shaonan, which made Pei Shaonan dumbfounded for a moment.

Xie Zhao's voice was dry: "How can I calm down at this time?"

Pei Shaonan didn't speak anymore.

Xie Zhao turned his head, grabbed Ruan Ping's wrist, and said word by word: "...Ruan Ping, take me to see the Holy One."

The guards chasing after Ruan Ping saw that Xie Zhao was holding Ruan Ping and did not let go, and looked a little annoyed.

One of them smiled awkwardly, and stepped forward to pull Ruan Ping: "This Ruan Ping is crazy, thank you sir, don't listen to his nonsense. People from the Hall of Martial Heroes sent a message just now, saying that they want to take Ruan Ping back earlier. Please thank you for raising your hand and letting Ruan Ping go, so that I can take Ruan Ping back to return."

Xie Zhao didn't let go of Ruan Ping's hand.

He exerted force in his hands, and Ruan Ping had already been pulled up from the ground by him and brought behind him.Xie Zhao stood in front of Ruan Ping, looked coldly at the guards in front of him, and smiled sarcastically: "Who delivered the news? Is it Eunuch Chen or the Holy One? Who sent the news, you two tell Xie Zhao to listen."

That's what the guard said to block Xie Zhao, how could he expect Xie Zhao to ask such a question?

He was naturally speechless.

Worried about how to take Ruan Ping away, the guard didn't think of a reason, but he heard Xie Zhaohu let go of Ruan Ping's hand and took a step forward.

"This lord wants to take Ruan Ping to the Hall of Martial Heroes. As a censor, I have no reason to stop him."

Xie Zhao stretched his brows and eyes, and approached the guards, his pretty brows and eyes were colder than the cold moon outside, but the smile on his lips was light.He rolled up his sleeves, and said politely: "It's just that I happen to have something to see the Holy Majesty, if I go with my lord, it should be fine, right?"

It's strange to say that Xie Zhao was clearly angry just now, but the guards were not very scared; but now Xie Zhao restrained all his temper and looked smilingly, the guards touched his cold eyes, but they were not afraid. I felt a chill rising from under my feet, and goosebumps gradually appeared on my back.

He panicked all of a sudden, and said in a low voice, "This... this... Your Majesty didn't summon you..."

Xie Zhao stared at him closely, with a distant and cold smile on his lips.

"But I have something important to report, and I must see the Holy One now." His voice did not fluctuate, his tone was heavy and heavy, and he pressed on step by step: "This is a top priority, if it is delayed, my lord may be implicated in the whole family. "

The guard looked at him like this, and fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Just when he was stared at by Xie Zhao and was about to collapse, he suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from outside the door.The sound attracted the attention of the officials, thinking that it was the holy car coming in person, all the officials stopped talking for a moment and looked out together.

However, everyone soon discovered that the person they were waiting for was not Qin Houde's holy driver, but a group of Jinwu guards who were neatly dressed and wore long swords.

Seeing that Xie Zhao's gaze also moved away, the guard couldn't hold back a long breath.

He secretly patted his chest, thinking: In the past, he looked at Mr. Xie's hippie smiling face and easy-going talkative appearance, why does he look so pervasive today?

Xie Zhao could no longer care what the little guard in front of him was thinking.

At the end of the line of sight, the golden guards in crimson robes blocked the entrance of the hall with cold faces.Xie Zhao believed that the leader was Cui Boxiu, the current Zuo Jinwu guard.

Obviously it was the time for the birthday banquet to start, but the emperor didn't come, but a group of majestic Jinwu guards wearing long swords came. What does this mean?Everyone let the wild guesses grow wildly in their hearts, and they couldn't say anything for a while.

It was Lin Ying who stood up first.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials frowned into a "Chuan", he looked directly at Cui Boxiu, and asked in a deep voice: "Master Cui, dare to ask what happened? Why did the Jinwu Guard appear here in such a costume, and the Holy Majesty is now here?" Where is it?"

The relationship between Lin Ying and Cui Boxiu is not bad, and it can even be said that they are somewhat friendly.

So Cui Boxiu stared at him for a long while, before replying with a sigh: "Things may be worse than everyone imagined—the Longevity Banquet for the Holy Majesty tonight seems to be impossible."

His eyes were sharp: "Someone is messing things up."

As soon as Cui Boxiu said this, the front hall suddenly fell into a dead silence.

After this brief suffocating silence, another burst of commotion broke out in the hall.Some of the officials didn't hold their wine glasses steady, some dropped their chopsticks, and some couldn't even sit still, so they jumped up from their seats in a hurry, with panic and anxiety on their faces.

"This is the Holy Majesty's Longevity Banquet, how could it not be possible? It's extremely absurd, extremely absurd!"

"Which person has the guts of a bear and a leopard, and dares to make trouble in this day? How dare he make trouble in the emperor's place! Who is this person?!"

"It's from Beiyan...? No, no, with the Xie family army guarding Yanding, it is absolutely impossible for Beiyan's people to quietly transport soldiers and horses to the capital! - Not from Beiyan, and Who is it?"

"Is Your Majesty safe now? Which ignorant idiot ruined today's Longevity Banquet!"

"Master Cui, is it safe for me to wait in the palace? Is the capital still safe now? I...my family is still in the mansion, are they all right?"

There were so many voices that Cui Boxiu's face turned black.

As soon as he raised his hand, the Jinwu guards behind him scattered in a row, all of them expressionless and condensed.The Jinwu guards in crimson robes blocked the entrance of the hall, and for a moment it was impossible to tell whether these Jinwu guards were here to protect the courtiers or to watch over the prisoners.

The moonlight is cold, the sword shines with a clear glow, and the atmosphere is chilling.

Cui Boxiu looked at the courtiers who had calmed down again with satisfaction, avoided Lin Ying's seemingly probing gaze, and said the name of that daring madman to the courtiers with a heavy face.

"—It's King Cheng."

Cui Boxiu looked at everyone's stunned looks, raised his voice, and said in deep pain: "King Cheng is a traitor. Together with the former minister of the Ministry of War, Jia Yongshao, he privately recruited soldiers and raised soldiers, and built weapons privately in Quzhou. Jin Wuwei has received the news that King Cheng has brought The soldiers broke through the city and entered!"

Breaking into the city—?

These words shocked everyone in the hall.

Pei Shaonan's fingertips trembled, and he couldn't believe what he heard.He subconsciously walked around the crowd, and when he found that he still hadn't found someone, his pupils shrank and his face turned pale.

... cheated.

There are only these three words in Pei Shaonan's mind for a while.

He gritted his teeth and didn't say a word. When he saw Pei Shulin standing next to Lin Ying not far away, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw that although he looked nervous, he was still safe and sound.

You still have time.

Even though his heart was not peaceful, Pei Shaonan still forced himself to calm down.He glanced at Xie Zhao, who was propping himself up on the table beside him to make himself stand firmly, and murmured in a low voice, "There's still time... There's still time... Don't panic, there's still time."

What's left?

Under the long sleeves, Pei Shaonan clenched his fists, pursed his dry lips, and said to himself: Pei Shaonan, you still have time.Time to protect those people.

For your family, for Xie Zhao, you must not fall down.

Absolutely not.

When he heard that King Cheng had rebelled, Xie Zhao was already in a state of confusion.

He couldn't believe it: "How is it possible...How could King Cheng do such a thing? Even if he has soldiers and horses, his chances of winning are not very high...Is he fighting with death?"

Fighting each other with death... At what point do people go to fight each other with death?

In the blink of an eye, an idea seemed to flash through his mind.

But Xie Zhao didn't have time to think about it.

Thinking of Qin Houde who didn't know what was going on, Xie Zhao quickly walked to the gate of the hall, he faced Cui Boxiu's expressionless face fearlessly, and said under the other's scrutinizing eyes: "Master Cui, Xie Zhao has something important to go to see His Majesty, Please let Master Cui go."

Cui Boxiu shook his head: "The Holy Majesty ordered everyone to stay in the hall and not move around."

He looked at Xie Zhao: "Master Xie, I'm sorry. As long as the imperial decree has not arrived, otherwise even you can't take a step out of the palace now."

Xie Zhao was tall and tall, and he didn't retreat in the slightest after hearing this.

His complexion was as frosty and as cool as an autumn moon, staring at Cui Boxiu stubbornly at this moment, and said slowly: "What if I must go out?"

It's really not good.

Cui Boxiu touched the roof of his tongue with the tip of his tongue, a bit of dissatisfaction appeared on his plain face.

In the silence, he stretched out his hand to grasp the hilt of the sword. Before everyone in the hall could react, he saw that the three-foot Qingfeng had been unsheathed and was now pressing against Xie Zhao's fair and slender neck. Touched Xie Zhao's skin, but still left a thin line of blood on it.

Cui Boxiu looked at Xie Zhao with deep eyes: "Before the matter is resolved, if someone takes a step inside the palace—"

He sneered: "Crime, accomplice, treason, thief, crime, kill, don't, discuss!"

There was a slight pain in the neck.

Xie Zhao looked down at the long sword on his neck, but saw that the sword was as clear as snow, clearly reflecting his eyebrows and eyes.

This was a face that Xie Zhao was familiar with and had never been timid.

Before Xie Zhao could speak, other people in the hall reacted greatly when they saw Cui Boxiu's actions.

"Cui Boxiu, what are you doing, quickly put down your sword!"

Lin Ying shouted angrily: "That's how you left the Jinwu Guard? Your sword was not aimed at the rebels, but at your own people? How dare you!"

Pei Shulin also looked over nervously, fearing that Cui Boxiu's hand would shake and Xie Zhao would die.

He licked his lips, and persuaded: "Master Cui, if you have something to say, put down the sword first."

Several ministers followed suit.

Cui Boxiu snorted coldly, and as soon as he retracted the long sword into the scabbard, Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows, and in this tense atmosphere, he actually bent his lips into a smile.

Although the handsome and elegant civil servant has a slender figure, his momentum is astonishing.

He said: "But I must go out tonight—I can't rest easy without the Holy Majesty."

I just don't know what is good or bad!

How could Cui Boxiu tolerate such a fledgling boy like Xie Zhao to provoke him again and again, he saw Xie Zhao's mocking eyes, and suddenly a burst of anger arose in his heart.

"Xie Zhao, you are courting death!"

Cui Boxiu let out a loud shout, and drew the sharp blade out of its sheath again, this time with killing intent straight to Xie Zhao's chest!

Xie Zhao is over

Some people could not bear to close their eyes.

Xie Zhao was unarmed, how could he compare to the Zuo Jinwu Guard holding a long sword?Who would have thought that the only son of the Xie family, Xie Zhao, who was supposed to have a bright future, would die here!

The sword light was sharp, and it attacked Xie Zhao with a firm intention to kill!

Everyone thought that Xie Zhao was about to splatter blood on the spot, but they didn't expect an accident to happen in the next moment.

I saw that Xie Zhao, who was still standing there just now, had softened his body and fell into the arms of the person behind him.

Pei Shaonan, who had stunned the bamboo horse neatly, hugged Xie Zhao in his arms, and covered the bloodstains on Xie Zhao's neck with a clean handkerchief with his lowered eyes, his movements were gentle and gentle.

After doing this, the young man who had always acted in a low-key manner in the imperial court raised his eyes, revealing a handsome and gentle face.

Facing Cui Boxiu's eyes, the official minister with pale lips and deep eyes quietly embraced the person in his arms, nodded at Zuo Jinwuwei and said, "Thank you, sir, for worrying about your majesty, you must be anxious. I hope Cui lord will not forgive you."

After a pause, he assured in a soft voice: "Don't worry, no one here will step out of the palace until the matter is over—including Mr. Xie."
