"No, Prince Hexuan, please calm down. I know you are very worried because the princess has been exposed and caught." Long Chenhao's bloodshot eyes looked towards the abyss hanging beneath his feet, and the roar of a strong wind like a beast filled his ears.
While shouting, his light purple clothes rustled in the wind, and his elegant figure seemed to be swept into the abyss by the cold wind at any time. His body hanging on the cliff did not dare to move at all, "Prince Hexuan, we
, we can go rescue the princess."
"On you? What ability do you have to save people?" He Xuan tightened his grip on Long Chenhao's neck. Long Chenhao's red face turned the color of pig liver, and he tried desperately to tighten the grip on his neck with both hands.
Using his hands, he struggled to squeeze out a few words from the throat that was about to be severed, "I can save you, let go, let me go..."
"Are you really going to strangle him to death?" A calm and cold voice sounded. Sima Heng did not look at the two of them from beginning to end. He just stood on an exposed rock on the edge of the cliff and stared at the tower in the distance.
The magnificent palace.
The splendid palace there seems to be covered with a layer of silver under the sunlight. Looking from a distance, it seems that you can see the light reflected by the glazed tiles, as bright as her eyes. Her eyes are always smooth.
Wulan, strong and unyielding, calm and unyielding, and like the boundless sky and the vast galaxy, the starry eyes only create ripples of brilliance for one person.
But, that lucky person is not him...
"He is useless, what's the use of keeping him?" He Xuan's eyes and whole body exuded fierce murderous aura, and he was about to cut off Long Chenhao's neck and throw him into the abyss. Long Chenhao's brain was suffocated.
, his vision went dark, and the aura of death enveloped him. His survival instinct made him look at Sima Heng and said with difficulty before he passed out: "I can, there are people in my court, the prime minister is my person, and the Ministry of War is also my person. At night,
, there will be soldiers attacking the city gate, you, will you kill me..."
"He can't die now." Sima Heng still looked indifferent. He didn't even look at Long Chenhao and He Xuan. He just withdrew his gaze looking into the distance, turned around and walked towards the palace. Before entering the palace, he looked coldly.
He dropped a sentence, "Tonight is not a peaceful night."
The three people present are very clear about what will happen tonight. Regardless of whether they take the initiative to attack or not, the one in the palace will not sit still and wait for death. He will only strike first. They face two choices, one is to seize the opportunity, and the other is to
Be prepared to face a large number of officers and soldiers rushing up the mountain.
"The Pavilion Master is right, we should work together to deal with foreign enemies instead of killing each other." Long Chenhao looked at He Xuan with pleading eyes, tears streaming down his face, and he looked like a coward who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
He Xuan was disgusted.
He Xuan's eyes were full of disgust, and with a wave of his big palm, Long Chenhao flew three feet away behind him like a kite with its string broken. He Xuan's force was not too strong. Fortunately, there was thick snow on the ground.
After flying and falling, Long Chenhao was not seriously injured, but suffered severe pain in his neck. He lay on the ground, panting desperately like a dead dog.
The night falls, and the sky shows a deep gray-blue color, casting an oppressive haze over the mountains. Under the snow-white cover, the trees, flowers, and grass draw an arc that splits the night.
A white silver line extends from one end of the mountain to the other.
However, at the foot of the cliff, in the palace in the distance, the lights were brilliant and the lanterns were intertwined. It looked like singing and dancing to bring peace. All the civil and military officials had already brought their families to the palace for the banquet.
The palace was lively and festive, and the streets of Kyoto outside the palace were crowded with people, and the flow was endless. It was very lively. Although the woman tied high in the imperial city attracted the attention of the people who passed by, after nightfall, no people dared to approach the imperial city.
The night was bleak and hazy. As the night progressed, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets and more and more Forbidden Forces. The air seemed to be filled with the smell of bloodshed. Before the storm came, the people went home under the orders of the Forbidden Forces. .
The hustle and bustle on the street suddenly disappeared, and only a large number of imperial troops walked solemnly in the streets and alleys. The imperial city was heavily fortified and the security was strengthened. The temporary solemnity outside the palace formed a sharp contrast with the joyful atmosphere inside the palace.
There is no rain or snow tonight. Although there are no crescent moon or stars, there are hundreds to thousands of hanging lamps floating in the sky above the palace, illuminating the banquet venue in the Royal Garden as bright as day. Plum blossoms are in full bloom all around, and there is a faint fragrance in the air. Snowflakes are dotted with delicate plum blossoms, like a girl's delicate red lips, which are even more charming and charming under the light of the lamp stack.
"My dear friends, do you know why Prime Minister Han has not arrived for so long?" It had been a while since the banquet started, but the Prime Minister of a country still failed to attend the banquet. Long Chen also glanced at the empty seats on the lower right and asked the officials.
"Returning to the emperor, none of the ministers have seen Prime Minister Han since the early court." All the officials shouted in unison, with great momentum. The prime minister never appeared. This was the doubt in the hearts of all the officials.
Of course, half of the people were doubtful, and half were frightened and uneasy. For example, Liu Bu Shangshu, who had been tense and frightened since the early morning court meeting, sent someone to see Prime Minister Han when he found out that he was not present. Let’s go to the Prime Minister’s Office to find out.
But the result was that Prime Minister Han was missing. The people in the mansion searched everywhere but could not find Prime Minister Han. They only saw ashes on the brazier in the study, letters and unburned clothes.
The officials of the six ministries couldn't tell whether they were more excited or frightened. Prime Minister Han was missing, which meant that Prime Minister Han was by the side of the fourth prince at this time. He had the talisman to mobilize troops and the fourth prince had a jade seal. He wanted to attack the city with a large army. question.
But, does their emperor really know nothing?
"I have been leading the army on the battlefield for half a year. All major affairs in the country are supervised by the prime minister and all your dear ministers. Tonight's banquet is to celebrate the continuous expansion of our dynasty's territory. Prime Minister Han will definitely not miss the banquet without hesitation." Long Chen also let go. With the cup in his hand, he ordered to Haiqi: "Haiqi, send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Haiqi followed the order and retreated. At least half of the officials at the banquet below began to break out in cold sweats, their faces were ugly, and they looked uneasy. The other half of the officials held up their cups and toasted to Long Chenyi who was sitting on the dragon chair. The words are always complimentary, words like regaining mountains and rivers, dividing territories, and unifying the world.
It was rare for Long Chen to be less cold-hearted than before. Whenever he made a toast, he would drink it all with his arms raised, and his wanton yet majestic laughter would come from time to time. The officials were shocked and even more excited.
In all these years, the officials have never seen Long Yan so happy. One can imagine how happy the emperor is to regain Lianyun this time...
Not long after, countless rays of light passed over the palace, and those countless rays of light bloomed into dazzling fireworks in the sky. After bursts of crackling sounds, the fireworks were like shooting stars, sliding across the sky, and some were like parachutes, flying high in the sky. Colorful colors are scattered down, like stars shining in the sky, and the beauty is startling.
At this time, it was already midnight, and countless black shadows were wandering in the streets and alleys of Kyoto, just like ghosts in the dark night, silently following behind the Imperial Guards, until a group of Imperial Guards came to patrol.
At the entrance of the alley, a cold wind blew, carrying an unknown smell.
"Everyone, be careful, there is an ambush." The deputy commander of the Forbidden Army noticed it immediately, and immediately covered his mouth and nose, becoming highly alert. At this time, a thick fog and yellowish smoke filled the head of the Forbidden Army, instantly covering everyone's sight.
.
In the yellow mist, the Forbidden Army all fell to the ground before they could resist. The deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, Jian Jian, was on guard all around, and when the smoke appeared, he immediately emitted the signal hidden in his sleeve.
But even in such a timely manner, Jian Jian still didn't have time to send the signal out. Just when he was about to open the signal tube, he was knocked away by a force of his palm, and then he was stunned by the smoke.
"Hurry up and change the clothes of the Forbidden Army." Dozens of men in black poured out from the other end of the alley. They immediately took off the clothes of the unconscious Forbidden Army and put them on themselves, leaving a few people behind to deal with the unconscious Forbidden Army.
