Wolf boy

At the gate of the palace, seeing that Zong Shuo had already opened the city gate, he whistled, and Wu Hao, who had long been hiding beside a rockery, let out a long hiss, and immediately jumped towards Zong Shuo.

It was not possible to enter the palace on horseback, so after Zong Shuo got off the horse, Wu Zai was taken away by the eunuch of the Sima Jian. Qian Jiwei came to kill the horse with a knife. After all, this is a thousand-mile horse, which is said to be able to cross the cliff The more Zong Shuo was told to ride away on horseback, the worse it would be.

But just as they were about to make a move, those thousands of machine guards became poisonous. Their meals were provided by the eunuchs. Unexpectedly, with all precautions, they failed to guard against the eunuchs in the palace.

As everyone knows, whether it's Ren Tu who kills without blinking an eye, or a doctor who has practiced medicine for many years, who can surpass these inconspicuous eunuchs who have been living in the dark palace all the year round with such insidious methods?

Seeing that something was wrong, Wu Hao broke free from the rein and ran away. It listened to the sound with its ears upright, and finally hid behind a rockery. After waiting for a long time, it finally heard Zong Shuo's whistle, so it immediately jumped forward.

When the bat heard this, he was annoyed, and his subordinates were even more merciless.He never thought that even Zong Shuo, who had escaped the protection of the Kelie people, was extremely powerful. Most people couldn't get close to him when he swung that red-tasseled spear, and even the arrows were thrown away. Leap left!

If he was told to jump out of the palace gate, he would surely escape under a fast horse.

So, he shouted loudly, and all the thousands of machine guards immediately cast a large fine iron net from the top of the city, and headed towards Zong Shuo to cover it. If the net fell correctly, the people in the net would be pierced by random guns immediately.

The battle-tested Wuzhao is no stranger to the net. Before Zong Shuo gave an order, it slid towards the edge of the net on a short horse. It is easy to get rid of the heavy iron net.On the contrary, the iron net caused Zong Shuo to pick it up, and "Hu Lie Lie" flung it at the people who cast the net around him. During the swing of the iron net, the spikes on the net pierced through the chests of many thousands of machine guards.

Because it is not allowed to wear heavy armor when entering the palace, Zong Shuo suffered some skin injuries under the siege, but fortunately he was used to rushing in the enemy army, and the number of enemies and us was very different. You can get out of trouble by swinging the gun up.

Just when Zong Shuo was leaping out of the city gate, Bat Ting yelled, and landed on the gate of the city swinging his two knives, using his unique skills, determined to keep this person behind!

Bat Ting has been the leader of Qianji Guards for many years, and his ability is not weak. He really stopped Zong Shuo at that moment.

The assassination has been prepared for a long time. Apart from hidden weapons and iron nets and traps, there are many other means. They mobilized all the troops, a total of 120, and received the task of killing the last person since the establishment of this force. Chengping Wang Helian Zongshuo.

Zong Shuo is not fond of fighting. He knows the taboo when rushing to kill the enemy, that is, not to stop. Once he stops, he will be dragged to death on the spot alone.So Zong Shuo, pursued by his two sabers, rode his horse forward. Before the horse's hooves leaped, he turned around and returned his carbine, piercing the bat's shoulder blade in an instant, and swung the handle of the gun. He was thrown into the city.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one to dispatch the crowd, Zong Shuo leaped up in Wuzhi, leaping high into the air and out of the encirclement circle of the crowd. The royal robe was pulled in his hand and "swish, swish", and it wrapped around the sharp blades in all directions.

Just out of the palace, but also out of the imperial city.

Zong Shuo rode his horse and headed straight for the gate of the outer city. The outer city was so high that no horse could jump over it.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, he heard someone blowing the chant of grassland talents at the gate. Zong Shuo looked up, and sure enough, everyone had arrived!

I saw that at the gate of the city, it was no longer the imperial soldiers guarding the original city, but Xing Wu and Xiao Ran, and there was Hu'er Zhahe leading a group of Kelie behind him.

The Kelie people were not allowed to enter the Central Plains, but only because the chief Kelie was leaving that day, Zong Shuo made a request, hoping to keep thirty Kelie warriors behind, so he could dispatch them.Only 30 people were left, and Patriarch Kelei agreed.

But this group of Kled is no longer the ordinary Kled who were randomly selected by the clan to find people, but the group of truly brave and good fighters in the clan. There was no one among them, but when he heard that he was going to stay and help Zong Shuo, he said nothing and did not follow his tribe back to Keteqin, which he was thinking about day and night.

After all, Zong Shuo has treated him well all these years, which can be regarded as a kind of kindness, and he has to repay it.

Therefore, when Zong Shuo and A Tong left Zhaocheng, all Ke Lie followed closely behind. Fortunately, scouts helped to hide their whereabouts. At the time of crisis, they were led by Xing Wu and occupied the outer city gate.

A group of Kelie took off all kinds of disguises on their bodies and rushed forward fiercely. The team of 30 people gave a meal to the thousands of Qianjiwei who were chasing up.

In the grassland, they had seen Huangma and Klie fight before, they were not a single-handed enemy, Zong Shuo was already difficult enough to deal with, and now they rushed forward with such a small group of Klie, they secretly thought it was bad.

But Qian Jiwei couldn't complete the task, and he would die if he went back, so it might as well be a fight.

Looking back, the bat that Zong Shuo had pierced through his shoulder blades was chasing after him, hastily wrapped in white bandages.He didn't come by himself, he also brought a team of men in heavy armor.

When the person in the lead saw Xiao Ran and the others in front of him, his expression immediately twisted and he gave a strange laugh.

"Long time no see, it's really a narrow road for enemies, the city defense battalion obeys orders! Suppress the traitors for me, leave no one behind, and cut the corpses apart!"

The person who came was the second prince He Lianjie who became disabled in Zhaocheng at the border. He was soon appointed by the emperor to be in charge of the city defense camp, but because he was already disabled, there was a lot of resistance.

Now that resentment and hatred meet, his eyes are already red, not to mention the father's order, even if it is against the order, he will strip these people alive today!

Zong Shuo's secret way is bad, the city defense battalion guards inside and outside the capital, there are as many as [-] people, and they also have heavy crossbows and city bows, so it is not suitable for direct hostility.

"Evacuate quickly."

Zong Shuo yelled in Kelie language, but no one understood, but Kelie people understood, even Xiao Ran and Xing Wu, who always get along with Hu'er, also understood, so everyone shot a feint and rode their horses retreat.

Helianjie yelled at the top of his voice, "Chasing! Kill me, and those who have meritorious deeds will be made princes of ten thousand households."

Bat Ting also supports the wounded body and leads others to chase after him.

In this way, there were chasing soldiers behind, and the other half of the city defense battalion stationed outside the city stopped in front, and this small team of thirty or so people was in danger.

……

In Yunzhong Temple, in a quiet Zen room, the young man was sleeping soundly on the couch. The autumn leaves outside the house fell all over the ground, and even fell on the shoulders of the one-armed monk sitting cross-legged on the stone platform outside the house. superior.

The monk listened to the temple bell ringing again, and calculated silently, the boy in the house had slept for four days, and the man had been gone for four days, but so far there is no news.

"Amitabha"

The monk closed his eyes again and sat quietly.

Inside the house, Ah Tong didn't sleep well and was very tired, and his dreams were always grotesque, and he couldn't reach the sky or the ground.But he knew that it was nothingness, but he couldn't wake up. It seemed that there was a scent around the tip of his nose all the time, making him feel dizzy and unable to think about anything else.

However, the more he sinks, the more uneasy he feels in his heart. His beastly intuition is admonishing himself, as if something is happening.

What's the matter?I don't know, Ah Tong was in a daze, subconsciously looking for Zong Shuo.

What about Zong Shuo?I'm a little cold, why doesn't he hug me?

The sleeping boy frowned, his fingertips trembling slightly.

Thin yellow fallen leaves floated from the window to the side of the couch, and fell on the bright Gawu on the young man's chest, and the relics in it glowed warmly and softly.

When the monks recite the scriptures every seven days, all the monks of the temple gather in the tower, accompanied by the heavy and erratic temple bell, slowly singing in a low voice.

The sleeping boy kept moving his ears, becoming more and more unsteady. The Buddhist thoughts of those eminent monks seemed to be right next to his ears, "buzzing" non-stop, like waves of endless waves. He listened carefully, but couldn't quite hear it. Understand.

"..."

Ah Tong could only distinguish the tone, "Hum Banzarasat..."

Amid anxiety and intolerance, Ah Tong felt as if he was sinking at the bottom of the water, but he couldn't break through the waves, and he was so oppressed that it was suffocating. Surrounded by a vague and indistinct world in the mirror, surrounded and engulfed.

After a while, Ah Tong saw a light getting closer and closer in the bursts of Sanskrit.When he arrived in front of his eyes, Ah Tong yelled in a daze, "Great monk!"

With such kind eyebrows, kind eyes, and a harmonious appearance, isn't it just the holy monk who has already sat on the top of the mountain?

Ah Tong was wondering, did he also melt away and go to accompany the great monk?How could this work? He still had his family and Zong Shuo, so how could he be willing to do so.

But Zong Shuo was gone, and he couldn't find him.

The great monk was slowly lighting up in the mantra, and Ah Tong asked, "Master, have you seen Zong Shuo? I'm looking for him."

But the master just smiled and didn't speak, as if he didn't really exist, Ah Tong felt his body getting heavier and heavier.In the end, he saw the velvety monk raised his arm and pointed at himself.

Then, the Sanskrit sounds around him changed from weak to strong, and a sound, "Hum", suddenly rang in his ears. Ah Tong felt cold all over, shivered, and opened his eyes instantly.

But after opening his eyes, there was no great monk in front of him, only the gradually subdued Sanskrit sound, and the monks had already recited a Vajrasattva hundred-syllable mantra to the end.

Ah Tong was a carp, but his head was a little dizzy, and he paused for a while before he recovered.

"Zong Shuo? Zong Shuo!"

No one answered, the Zen room was empty and quiet, only the sound of falling leaves.Looking up, there was half of the purple incense still burning on the table.

Ah Tong opened the door abruptly, and just as he was about to find someone, he saw a handsome one-armed monk sitting cross-legged in front of the house, with autumn leaves brushing his robes.

Ah Tong didn't dare to make a fuss, and didn't know what to call him, so he asked in a low voice, "Well, I, I'm looking for Zong Shuo, have you seen him?"

The monk didn't speak, and Ah Tong scratched his head and used his poor vocabulary to describe it.

"That's right, a man as tall as a door frame. He's good-looking and strong."

"Amitabha, he is gone."

"What?" Ah Tong's heart tightened, it's too bad, Zong Shuo went to the palace by himself!It was so dangerous there, how could he go by himself.

Ah Tong became anxious, and immediately started to talk.

"How long has he been gone?"

"Four days."

"!" Ah Tong couldn't believe it, his ears and tails came out in an instant, but he didn't care about anything, and immediately ran down the mountain.

"Wait a minute," Monk Liansheng looked at Ah Tong for a long time, then he saw the pair of wolf ears and the wolf tail on his back, and then he realized why Zong Shuo put the boy in Yunzhong Temple, and told himself to send him back in five days Home.

"You should think about it and go to Longtan and Tiger's Den."

Ah Tong doesn't care about that!He froze his tail and was about to run, but the monk grabbed him, and Ah Tong was startled. Although the monk had one arm, he was very strong.

Ah Tong's eyes were a little red, "Let go, I have to go find him." He wanted to protect Zong Shuo.

The monk looked into the young man's persistent eyes, as if he saw himself who climbed out of the mountain of corpses and blood and used his life to vindicate the emperor.

Finally, he sighed, "Let's go, after leaving the mountain, go northward from the boundary stone, and we will arrive in a short distance."

Ah Tong nodded indiscriminately and turned around, but saw that the monk still did not let go, he frowned at the monk, and saw him hesitate to say something.

"Your vision, take it away for now."

Only then did Ah Tong suddenly realize that he was really dizzy.

The monk saw that the boy raised his hand and pressed his head, and then he returned to normal, then he let go of his hand, jumped down from the cliff, and disappeared after a few swings.

Liansheng stared at the mountain stream that could not be seen for a while, and was stunned for a while, and finally, he recited a Buddha's name.

"Amitabha, the karma in this world requires him to practice alone."

It's just that the foggy mountain stream can't see the turbulent wind and clouds in Kyoto.

He Liantao knelt at the old emperor's feet, his head was broken, and blood flowed from the center of his eyebrows, but this made the emperor even more determined to kill.

The benevolence of his son and woman, if he doesn't get rid of Zong Shuo's future troubles for him, he will be overthrown in the future.

Hearing the sound of fighting gradually moving away from the palace wall, Heliantao calmed down instead. He looked up at the stubborn monarch and paranoid old man in front of him.

The success or failure of a country, the success or failure of a family, the life and death of the people, all of them are under the pressure of this person.

Only a small part of him is his father, the vast majority is an iron-blooded and ruthless emperor.

As he grows older, he gradually understands the past, and gradually understands the killing and ambition.

Helian Tao's eyes gradually calmed down, and then gradually deepened.

As Zong Shuo said in his letter, taking history as a mirror, the people are water, and the king is a boat. When the boat deviates from the direction, then the water will ruthlessly capsize, the country's regime will change, and a new dynasty will emerge.

The weather outside the pill room was gloomy, and all the resplendent decorations in the pill room were overshadowed.It was the time when King Heingcheng was strangled, and everyone in the palace was ordered to hide in their respective halls, and even the alchemy room stopped the fire.

It's autumn and winter, the house with the fire stopped, the gold and bronze utensils in the room are all cold, making people's hairs gradually stand up.

The old emperor exhausted his overdrawn physical strength from taking the pill, and once the effect of the medicine wore off, he felt a little drowsy. Just as he was about to tell the supervisor beside him to take the pill, he remembered that the man bumped his head against the Panlong pillar of the Golden Palace , dead.

Right now there are no servants at hand, so He Liantao is going to send Helian Tao who is kneeling on the ground.

It's just that when the old emperor opened his eyes, he saw that the person kneeling on the ground had stood up at some point, and at this moment dared to look down at his old and ugly self.

"Presumptuous! You, uh!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw this son, who was usually the most gentle and weak-tempered, suddenly stretched out his hands and strangled his neck fiercely.

He never knew that this son had such great strength and such a ruthless face. He was strangled tightly, but he stared at the person in front of him with a gleam in his eyes. Before he was about to die, he re-recognized this person.

This man is not his own son, but a new, competent, desirable king!

Until the end, the old man's face turned red and he died. He didn't die in peace, he closed his eyes.

As the beating of the heart in the hand stopped, the surrounding became even more silent. No hidden guards or attendants showed up, and no angry reprimands or obstructions appeared.

He Liantao still did not let go of his clenched hands, the sky outside the house was thick with clouds, causing the room to alternate between light and dark, and it reflected on his face from time to time, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.

Heliantao kept telling himself that what he strangled to death was not his father, but an incompetent king.

The common people are confused, and survival is difficult. At this moment, the water droplets of all the people finally merged into a huge wave in their own hands, capsizing the old boat that was decaying and lingering. A new era is coming.

Finally, he let go of his trembling hands from excessive force, his legs were stiff, and he walked out of the alchemy room step by step, standing in front of everyone.

"Royal father, pass away."

Everyone glanced at each other, then knelt down at the same time, shouting long live.

"The new emperor ascends the throne, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Come here, pass on my edict that the soldiers in the city defense camp must no longer be instigated by traitors to hunt down and kill His Royal Highness King Pingcheng."

Immediately, Helian Tao raised his head again and shouted loudly, "Those who disobey the order will be executed!"
