The county horse is a medicine jar

Stared at by so many strange eyes, General Lin did not respond for a long time, and the fourth prince was a little impatient. He pushed He Qin into Zhang Heng's hands, and a question hit the pain in General Lin's heart: "At this time, Lin The general is still hesitating, can you be worthy of those thousands of Habayashi soldiers who were killed by your foolish loyalty?"

Zhang Heng stood beside He Qin silently, with one hand resting on He Qin's shoulder, seemingly supporting him, but in fact the other hand was holding a dagger hidden in the sleeve, and it was pressing against He Qin's back.

General Lin has been looking at He Qin worriedly, and he naturally noticed Zhang Heng's small movements. His chest heaved violently and his expression was uncertain.

Fortunately, Lin Sishen kept holding his arm firmly so that he would not make a big mistake due to impulsiveness.

After a stalemate like this for a while, the old emperor, who had been watching the show, finally spoke. He was not too angry at the fourth prince's act of inciting General Lin to rebel, but asked calmly, "Fourth, what are you doing?" Is that enough?"

The fourth prince ignored the old emperor at all, he glanced at Lin Sishen coldly, he could see that General Lin was not going to make a move, and he said something strangely: "Hmph, indecision is hard to make a big weapon."

After finishing speaking, the fourth prince flicked his sleeves fiercely, and Zhang Heng on the side seemed to have received an order. He smiled ironically at General Lin, and the dagger in his sleeve pierced He Qin's back viciously.

Mei Xiang, who was controlled by Li Luo, was the closest and she could see the most clearly. When her complexion turned pale, she exclaimed: "No..."

In the midst of this lightning, a figure flashed past Mei Xiang's eyes, only bringing a burst of oncoming awe, followed by the sharp sound of weapons colliding.

Before everyone could react, Li Luo, who had been quietly staring at Zhang Heng, finally made a move. At the critical moment, she drew her sword and stabbed between the two without hesitation. The sword pierced He Qin's clothes. , barely brushed against his skin, and blocked the sharp blade on his head impartially.

Zhang Heng's expression changed in an instant, and before Li Luo could make another move, he pulled his hand away, buttoned his sleeve slightly with his fingertips, and shot a cold arrow quickly, straight at Li Luo's face.

The instant reaction didn't even have time to stop thinking, Zhang Heng thought that Li Luo was going to attack him next, subconsciously he acted first, and the first move was a killer move.

However, Li Luo seemed to have been prepared for this long ago. She tilted her head to avoid Zhang Heng's cold arrow. The cold arrow brushed past her shoulder.

Seeing that Li Luo dodged the cold arrow, Zhang Heng finally reacted, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he said anxiously: "Li Luo, don't forget that we are..."

It's a pity that before he finished speaking, Li Luo's icy face flashed in front of his eyes, and then he felt a sharp pain in his chest, he lowered his head in disbelief, and before he could see clearly, the long sword disappeared It was pulled out from his chest mercilessly, and a spout of blood splashed on his face.

"Brothers and sisters..."

The remaining two words were finally spat out from his mouth, together with a large mouthful of blood, Zhang Heng clutched his chest and staggered two steps and fell to the ground weakly. He struggled to sit up, and threw a call for help to the Fourth Prince. Gaze: "Your Highness...help me."

But how could the fourth prince save him? The fourth prince backed away at the first moment, and finally stopped after retreating a long way. He frowned and glanced at Zhang Heng who was twitching on the ground, and looked at Zhang Heng in confusion. Li Luo.

The blood on Zhang Heng's chest had already soaked his clothes, but the long sword in Li Luo's hand was not stained with blood at all. She stood there expressionless and let Mei Xiang rush to her side to help He Qin up. He staggered and ran towards General Lin.

Zhang Heng couldn't figure out why Li Luo would kill him, and Li Luo became more and more trusting and close to him after being with him day and night these days: "You, why are you..."

"It is a pity."

Li Luo looked down at Zhang Heng, who was full of shock and panic, and lifted his thin lips coldly: "If it wasn't for the temptation just now that made you show off, I almost believed the story you told me."

"Try?"

At this moment, Zhang Heng understood that it was too late for remorse. Although Li Luo stopped him from killing He Qin just now, in fact, he didn't intend to do anything to him at all. He just wanted to try him one last time, but he subconsciously slapped Li Luo. Dead hand.Previously, he used bitter tricks to get Li Luo to trust him, but because of this flaw, he made a fatal mistake.

"I have to admit, your acting is really good, I thought..."

Under Zhang Heng's unreconciled gaze, Li Luo lowered her eyebrows and eyes. No one could see her expression clearly at this time. She swung the sword and slowly sheathed it. The moment it settled down, it completely stopped beating, but it's a pity that no matter how wide-eyed he was, he couldn't hear Li Luo's last words clearly.

"I am no longer a wandering rootless person."

Li Luo's sudden betrayal made the fourth prince suddenly understand everything. If Li Luo had doubts from the beginning and did not fully trust Zhang Heng, then how could she really kill Shen Qingwan.

Could it be... This is a trap set by Shen Qingwan instigated by Li Luo?

Thinking that Shen Qingwan might be watching everything in the dark, and the fourth prince is no longer as calm and confident as before, he secretly rejoiced, but fortunately, he has been deliberately avoiding Li Luo's secret deployment, and he is not like That idiot of the second brother didn't leave any way for himself to retreat.

Thinking of this, the fourth prince did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered in a cold voice: "Do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden change in the imperial army guarding the old emperor. Some people rushed straight to the old emperor, and some turned around and stabbed the colleague next to him who was about to rescue him. In an instant, the imperial army was in chaos. , the fourth prince had already arranged the manpower to take the opportunity to hold the old emperor hostage.

As soon as they succeeded, those people didn't entangle with the imperial army anymore, they dragged the old emperor to the side of the fourth prince.

With the knife resting on his neck, the old emperor finally showed a trace of panic. He hunched over and looked up at the fourth prince, angrily angrily said: "Fourth, you are so brave."

The fourth prince's move was beyond everyone's expectations. From the day the old emperor transferred the commander of the Imperial Army, he began to take advantage of the replacement of the Imperial Army to insert his own people in order to leave a way out for himself as a last resort. .

Originally, he planned to lead the civil and military officials to force the old emperor to pass on to him on the grounds of the emperor's immorality, so that he could gain a good name without abolishing a soldier.If it wasn't for that damned Zhang Duan who came out to take the place of the old emperor, if it wasn't for General Lin's indecision and hesitation, if it wasn't for the thought that Shen Qingwan might be hiding in the dark, he wouldn't have taken this risky move.

Holding his father hostage and forcing him to write an imperial edict to abdicate, even if he won the throne, it would be unfair in the eyes of the world.

But he doesn't care about that much now, as long as he can win the throne, he can get rid of these insiders one by one, and one day no one will know that he has done such a treacherous thing.

The fourth prince glanced at the old emperor proudly, and found that he was trembling, and immediately couldn't help mocking: "Father, I didn't expect you to have a day of fear."

After speaking, the fourth prince quickly turned his head to look at General Lin, who was about to move, and then clapped his hands and said with a smile: "General Lin, since you are so loyal to your father, surely you will not disregard his life?"

General Lin took a step forward, waved his arms and said, "Fourth prince, even if you hold His Majesty hostage, as long as I, Habayashi Wei, are here, you will not be able to walk out of the gate of the palace today!"

The fourth prince almost laughed out loud when he heard the words: "General Lin is too naive, do you really think that this king can only win the throne by relying on your Habayashi Guard?"

General Lin testified, and Lin Sishen on the side grabbed his arm and reminded in a low voice: "From the day the rebels entered the capital, the defenders from all over the country must have rushed to the capital day and night to rescue them. You and the Fourth Prince are in collusion, and the Fourth Prince only needs to hold His Majesty hostage for a while, and everything will be settled once they arrive."

General Lin's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "So, doesn't that mean that this shameless guy has succeeded? If we don't do anything, when the troops from all walks of life come, even the Habayashi Guards won't be able to stop them for long."

Lin Sishen smiled faintly, and she glanced at the old emperor held hostage by the fourth prince from a distance, her expression was a bit bitter and gloomy: "Father, please be safe, we don't need to do anything, we just need to sit here and watch the show."

Just when everyone didn't know what to do, a little eunuch hurriedly walked out of Fengyi Palace, and walked straight to the fourth prince. Originally, the imperial army wanted to stop him, but the fourth prince looked at him, and they had no choice but to Let people go.

The little eunuch hurried up to the fourth prince, respectfully offered the edict he was holding in his arms with both hands, and said flatteringly: "Your Highness, this is an edict drafted according to your instructions."

The fourth prince took the edict and opened it, nodded in satisfaction, then rolled his eyes at the little eunuch and asked, "Where's Yuxi?"

Hearing this, the little eunuch carefully took out the jade seal from his sleeve, only to see some blood stains on the corner of the jade seal, the little eunuch caught a glimpse of panic from the corner of his eye and hurriedly wiped it off with his sleeve before sending it to the fourth prince.

"very good."

The imperial edict and the jade seal were in hand, and the fourth prince was very satisfied. He impatiently handed the imperial edict and jade seal to the old emperor: "Father, the imperial edict and the servants have drawn up the imperial edict for you, so please trouble your old man to put the seal on it." Print it."

The old emperor snorted angrily, and turned his head to look without even looking at it. The fourth prince was not in a hurry or annoyed when he saw this, he leisurely played with the jade seal, and the enthusiasm in his eyes was not concealed at all: "If that's the case, then Let my son share your worries on your behalf."

After finishing speaking, the fourth prince will hold the imperial edict and cover the jade seal heavily. On the red and yellow imperial edict, the words "Designed by Heaven and Longevity and Eternal Prosperity" appear on the red and yellow imperial edict, surrounded by a lifelike and majestic five-clawed dragon pattern .

Everything seemed to be settled, the fourth prince suddenly held up the imperial edict, he looked around arrogantly, everyone he saw was dejected and did not dare to speak, he couldn't restrain the ecstasy in his heart and laughed loudly, then provocatively said : "Everything is settled, Wan'er, why don't you show up yet?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked around in a daze, not knowing what the fourth prince had gone crazy, but Lin Sishen raised her head, holding her breath and slowly scanning every corner, she didn't know what she was looking forward to Still afraid, the hand holding General Lin was trembling all the time.

The silence seemed so lengthy, and no one knew how long it had passed, and everyone didn't even know what they were waiting for.Until a slight smile came into my ears with the wind, that laughter was like the sound of a misty valley, and like a clear spring coming out of a mountain, it was so sweet and quiet.
