Eunuch Gao stared at the Queen Mother's residence not far away, with rising flames printed in his pupils.
The garden carefully tended by the palace maids was the first to light up the fire. The withered petals swirled under the heat wave and were swallowed up towards the palace.
Eunuch Gao didn't know the specific connection between Empress Wu and Yang Sijian, and he didn't care about the grudges that happened in the hospital. At this moment, there was only a sense of relief in his heart.
No longer need to worry every day, worry about being used, worry about being abandoned, worry about not being able to maintain this incomplete and humble life...
At this moment, he, the eunuch, could hold up his chest and say loudly: "Your Majesty, your evil will finally be rewarded!"
But soon Eunuch Gao hid aside.
Because a large number of people came quickly from the front hall, led by the majestic sage Li Hong.
He looked at the fire burning in Changshengyuan and his expression changed: "Empress!"
After Li Hong dealt with the rebels who were attached to Empress Wu, he immediately rushed to the harem.
Not only must he catch Yang Sijian, the murderer who was once his teacher and made him feel extremely guilty, but is now as crazy as a demon, he must also rescue the kidnapped Empress Wu.
Li Hong also had hesitation in his heart.
If Yang Sijian is allowed to commit the crime, he will be able to solve the problem once and for all and completely eliminate the shadow that hangs above his head.
But after a brief hesitation, the saint came anyway.
Perhaps in the process of fighting for power, Empress Wu had long forgotten the family relationship between mother and son, but Li Hong still remembered the scene when Empress Wu personally coaxed him out of fear when he was a child...
That is his mother after all!
Li Hong looked to the left and right and said eagerly: "Can you put out the fire? Can you still rescue the Queen Mother?"
At first, everyone thought that the saint was just showing off, after all, the first two emperors of the Tang Dynasty were so pure and filial.
But looking at Li Hong's anxious expression, I gradually understood that this one was different from those two in terms of filial piety.
But now that the fire has been ignited, the Imperial Guards really don't dare to break in. Going in will be in vain.
Yang Zaiwei, who was following behind, frowned, but Jia Sibo stopped him in advance and shook his head slightly.
Being soft-hearted for a moment will lead to endless disasters. This kind of thing cannot be done.
At this moment, an eagle screamed from the sky, and a figure flashed in front of him.
The imperial army was shocked at first, and then relaxed, because the person who came was none other than the Dinghai Shenzhen, the pillar of the Tang Dynasty.
When he arrived, everything was fine.
Li Hong was even more overjoyed: "Yuanfang!"
"His Majesty!"
Li Yan saluted, and his body was rarely stained with blood.
He arrived in a hurry. In order to save time, he did not enter Luoyang, but entered directly from the outer city in the north. Then he completed his mission of eradicating evil and killed all the thieves who were preparing to invade the palace from Xuanwu Gate: "The thieves in Yuanbi City
Having been dealt with by me, Yang Sijian's followers can no longer do evil."
Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the fire again, his lips trembling slightly.
Li Yan took the initiative and said: "How can the Queen Mother of the Tang Dynasty be harmed by thieves? Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will come as soon as I go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and rushed towards the Changsheng Courtyard with lightning speed, disappearing in the fire in an instant.
Although his martial arts skills were peerless, Li Yan did not rely too much on the power of this flame. He closed his breath early and maintained the supply of oxygen through internal circulation, and then searched for the whereabouts of Yang Sijian and Empress Wu.
What he just said to Li Hong was sincere. Empress Wu indeed deserved retribution, but she was not killed by Yang Sijian.
Just as the children of the Wu family should be killed, there must be a crime, an imperial edict endorsed, and killing first and then reporting, rather than killing indiscriminately. This is all to maintain order.
Yang Sijian was a destroyer of order. He had already harmed many people. If he had died together with the empress dowager before his death, he would have achieved what he wanted. Before his death, he had seriously damaged the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yan won't let him succeed.
Facts have proved that it was not too late, because there was smoke and dust outside, and when we actually came to the messy temple, there was no burning fire inside, but instead there were two people fighting each other.
Empress Wu's hair was disheveled, and she no longer had the dignified posture of her previous high bun, which prevented Yang Sijian from lighting the final torch.
Yang Sijian was shocked and angry. He really underestimated the ruthlessness of this bitch. In addition, the servants who bribed him had already left in a hurry. Instead, he was at a disadvantage. He screamed: "Twitch! Witch! You are already powerful.
Everything is lost, and there is no hope for me, so why are you still struggling? Ahem! Die! Die together!"
Empress Wu, however, did not speak at all to avoid being choked by the smoke coming in from the outside. She kept her eyes firmly on her chest and punched and kicked Yang Sijian with all her strength.
If he had not been in a healthy period before being poisoned, a weak old eunuch like Yang Sijian would have been beaten to the ground by Empress Wu.
But now she is no longer the energetic and tireless power-seeking machine she used to be. Yang Sijian is also in a state of hysterical madness. He grabs her hair desperately and pulls it down in large fistfuls. He soon regains his senses.
The status of a monk in a temple.
Empress Wu gritted her teeth and continued to attack the opponent's heart. Seeing that she was about to win, she turned her eyes and saw a heroic figure standing not far away. She suddenly turned pale in horror and blurted out: "You are here to kill me.
of?"
On the contrary, Yang Sijian did not see Li Yan at all. Taking advantage of Empress Wu's negligence, he kicked her hard and choked the Queen Mother's neck.
It wasn't until this moment that he noticed a third person appeared in the hall. After taking a closer look, he also shouted: "Li Yuanfang!!"
Without saying a word, Li Yan slashed out with his sword and cut off Yang Sijian's right hand through the air.
While Yang Sijian was holding his broken wrist and wailing miserably, Empress Wu gasped for air, inhaled the smoke and dust, and coughed violently.
Li Yan looked down at the two people on the ground, pointed at Empress Wu, making her unconscious, then fell on Yang Sijian, and said calmly: "Your son Yang Guangxian originally had a chance of being exiled to Lingnan and saving his life, but now he has completely lost it."
I hope I will be killed by the crowd together with you!"
Yang Sijian showed great pain when he heard this: "Chang Gong... Chang Gong... why can you find him... He is my last hope... ah ah ah ah..."
Li Yan observed his expression and nodded slightly: "It seems that after you had this son, you did not cultivate any other successors. The former power of 'Zuoming' has ended here and has finally been completely eliminated!"
Only then did Yang Sijian realize that the other party was still trying to trick him at this juncture. Under the excitement, the blood on his wrist surged out. The double impact of his body and soul made his eyes full of hysteria: "Li Yuanfang, you
Don't be complacent, you are Changsun Wuji's disciple, I know this secret, ahem..."
"I want to see your Majesty! I want to see your Majesty! Has anyone heard that I am his father-in-law, my daughter is the queen, he will listen to me, he must listen to me!"
"Li Yuanfang, I want to reveal your true face to the public! Cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
Li Yan looked at this crazy old man, thinking of those who died because of him, and his eyes showed deep hatred: "In the past, thousands of people were murdered by the Changsun family. It was you who falsely conveyed the imperial edict and deceived Pu Zhengen for your own selfish desires.
"
"The great disaster in Guanzhong later caused countless casualties. It was also a man-made disaster caused by you and Empress Wu joining forces to seize power and deliberately ignoring the disaster!"
"Yang Sijian, you have been despicable and hypocritical in your life, harming others and yourself, and have been full of evil. Only now you die, you are really being advantaged!"
Yang Sijian was choked by the smoke and coughed violently. He fell on the ground and twisted a few times. He seemed to have regained some consciousness and grinned: "Li Yuanfang, you don't dare to take me out and let the third division review me, right?"
"But it's useless. Even if no one knows your origins, you and your master are still very powerful... No, you are more powerful than your master!"
"No emperor can tolerate a person with your prestige and such a young age. Even if His Majesty trusts you now, what will happen? Changsun Wuji remained low-key and obedient in the Zhenguan Dynasty, and later he became a powerful official who evaded the imperial power?
One day, today's saints will also become suspicious of you, and then they will become more and more suspicious of you, and finally it will come to the point where you are fighting to the death..."
"Li Yuanfang, you will not end well! You will not end well!"
Li Yan listened calmly: "The resentment that goes deep into the bone marrow seems to be mine without a doubt, but there is one thing I want to tell you to make your death less pleasant! In fact, I am not a human being..."
Yang Sijian was stunned: "You are not a human, are you a ghost?"
After being questioned for so long, Li Yan finally admitted on his own initiative: "I came to the world from outside the world. I came here to assist the saint. I rule the world and make the world peaceful. Now that my achievements have been completed, it's time to return to the world!"
If anyone had said this, Yang Sijian would have scorned him, but looking at the man standing in the rising flames and thinking of what this man had done, the originally frail saint suddenly regained his health, and his eyes suddenly revealed
Deep fear: "Then I...I..."
Li Yan nodded: "And you will never be reincarnated!"
As soon as the words fell, the sword struck down, and the head of a dead man flew up.
[Buzai Wuming (effective)]
[Yang Sijian’s highest attribute is wisdom, and he successfully extracted 1 wisdom attribute point]
Taking Yang Sijian's head in his hand, Li Yan reached out and pulled off a curtain and came to Empress Wu.
The most famous legendary woman in history has also reached the end of her life. Thinking of the unavoidable excitement when she first saw the Second Saint in the Zichen Palace, Li Yan also felt as if he was in another world.
Feeling severe pain all over her body and feeling dazed, Empress Wu found herself being taken outside by someone.
Thinking of Helan Minzhi's Bloody Tathagata falling down, and this man standing in front of her and cutting off the Buddha statue, she groaned: "Why can't you be used by me?"
Vaguely, the man replied: "You can ask the people's hearts and the common people!"
