"That's it..." The false emperor felt like he was enlightened.
Let's just say that he lost inexplicably. He had clearly planned it well, but suddenly he turned against Yu Chong, and the good situation fell into despair in an instant.
Xu San! It turns out to be her!
Has she had this dream a long time ago, so she always makes plans in advance? No wonder she always has the upper hand.
It's a pity that he woke up too late and things have reached this point.
The more the false emperor thinks about it, the more he hates it. No matter what the final outcome of the dream is, the two daughters of the Xu family are just playthings in his hands. Their prosperity and wealth are his gifts. They are alive thanks to his tolerance!
Just such a little bug that looked up to him, now wants to climb on his head, intending to dominate his destiny.
It’s so hateful!
"Your Majesty?" Yu Manqing's voice sounded.
"What time is it?" The false emperor regained his thoughts.
"It's almost Yin time."
The false emperor nodded and struggled to stand up.
They had rested for two hours and it was time to set off.
Yu Manqing supported him and asked worriedly: "You are still burning, why don't you rest for an hour more?"
The false emperor shook his head: "There is no time, just hold on a little longer."
Yu Manqing stopped talking and helped him mount his horse.
The team set off again, heading towards their destination under the darkness of night.
Chai Qi, who was hiding in the bushes, immediately reported their whereabouts.
After receiving the news, Yan Ling arranged the next pursuit.
Just chasing and escaping like this, the false emperor became more and more embarrassed, gritted his teeth and finally reached his destination.
Red Forest Valley.
There is a maple forest in this valley. It is autumn now, and the red leaves are spreading all over the ground, like a red carpet soaked with blood.
The false emperor looked at this maple forest, and his heart was filled with all kinds of violent emotions. There was the sadness of being at the end of the road, the resentment of being forced to a dead end, and the unwillingness to know the truth.
Why couldn't he wake up earlier? In the dream, after he pacified Dongjiang, his reputation reached its peak. If he woke up early and killed those disobedient people before the Yan clan got up, then he would
We can revive the Great Zhou Dynasty and achieve great things!
It happened that he woke up so late and couldn't do anything.
And all of this is thanks to Xu San!
In the Forbidden Army column, a captain observed the terrain, put his finger to his lips, and made a few bird calls.
After a while, the same sound came from the forest, as if other birds were echoing it.
After receiving the response, the captain turned around and said a few words. The leading general nodded and came over to report to the puppet emperor: "Your Majesty, everything is as usual."
The false emperor took out a breath and winked at Yu Manqing.
Yu Manqing understood and leaned towards him.
When the two came close to each other, she suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
After shouting, she grabbed the pseudo-emperor's arm and started crying: "It's not good, your majesty fainted. Where is the imperial doctor?"
The scene suddenly became chaotic. The servants came around in a panic. The general turned and shouted: "Military doctor! Call the military doctor quickly!"
The guards set up a temporary tent, and military doctors came over for treatment. From time to time, they would bring bloody water or cloth stained with blood, like the puppet emperor's open wound.
Yu Manqing sat at the door of the tent, nervously staring at what was going on inside, wiping tears from time to time.
There are various signs that make people feel that the pseudo-emperor's injuries are getting worse and he may be in trouble.
Time passed little by little, the team was still unable to set off, and the camp was filled with a tense and sad atmosphere.
When it got dark, Yu Manqing entered the tent.
The false emperor had changed into the clothes of the imperial guard and was now leaning on the camp bed. Although his face was pale, he was in good spirits.
"His Majesty!"
The false emperor raised his head and asked her: "How are they? Are they ready?"
Yu Manqing nodded: "Ready."
Her expression was heavy, with thousands of emotions in her eyes, and she hesitated to speak while looking at the false emperor.
The false emperor noticed it: "What's wrong?"
Yu Manqing held his hand, leaned forward slowly, and said softly: "Being able to die with Your Majesty is probably my only comfort in this life."
When a person is about to die, his feelings become real.
The false emperor looked at the woman who accompanied him to death with all kinds of feelings in his heart. In the dream, Yu Manqing also followed him. If it weren't for her persuasion, Yu Chong would not have fallen to him. But he did not fulfill his promise. This woman and
The Yu family disappeared together. After that, he never thought of her again.
He sighed softly and reached out to stroke her hair.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then warnings sounded throughout the camp: "Attack on the camp! Someone is attacking the camp!"
The false emperor was overjoyed and stood up despite his injuries: "I took the bait!"
…
The Black Iron Guards rushed into the camp.
The Imperial Guard immediately surrounded them, formed a formation and started fighting.
This scene was common in the past few days and everyone is familiar with it, but it is obviously different today.
The Black Iron Guards didn't just bite a piece of meat and leave, they gathered into a sharp knife and stabbed it hard into the heart of the camp.
Yan Ling personally led the men, and they killed them all the way. Whoever stood in his way would be killed.
"Escort! Escort!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the Imperial Guards shouted loudly.
More forbidden troops rushed over, trying to block the charge of the Black Iron Guards.
At this time, a hail of arrows shot out from the bushes, led by Xu Yin.
In terms of numbers, the Forbidden Army was only a lot larger. However, the atmosphere was bleak, and the opponent's actions were too fast, and they were suppressed by a wave of arrows, which made the Xuantie Guards open a hole.
"All soldiers!" the commander shouted loudly to boost morale, "The false emperor is doing the wrong thing, everyone will find it and kill him! Today we will eliminate harm for the people! Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Xuantiewei shouted in unison, slashing at them mercilessly with swords and guns in their hands.
The momentum of the Forbidden Army was suppressed, and Wei Jun took the opportunity to shout: "Brothers of the Forbidden Army, the puppet emperor has betrayed all his relatives and is desperate. We all have a father and a mother, so why bother to accompany him to death? My young lady promises that as long as you surrender, today only the chief culprit will be killed, and the remaining culprits will be killed."
Don’t ask if you surrender your weapons!”
The Xu family guards echoed loudly: "Disarm without asking! Disarm without asking!"
On one side, they were killing like wolves and tigers, while on the other side, they were disarming and indifferent. The formation of the imperial army was in chaos for a moment.
The general of the Forbidden Army looked bad and shouted loudly: "Don't listen to them to shake the morale of the army. How can traitors who conspire to rebel have credibility? If you believe them, you will be the next to die. If you kill them, we will have a chance...
…”
Before he finished speaking, a crossbow arrow narrowly passed through his ear with a "whoosh" sound.
The Forbidden Army general hurriedly avoided and was forced to shut up. The guards of the Xu family burst into laughter.
Taking advantage of this time, Xuantiewei rushed to the tent.
The general of the Forbidden Army was anxious and shouted: "Stop them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another round of arrows, and the imperial army was forced to retreat. Xuantiewei took the opportunity to rush in.
The temporary tent was not big, and the Black Iron Guard swept it over like a breeze. Under the blade of the knife, the tent door was split open, and the torch clearly illuminated the scene inside.
Everyone was stunned.
It was completely empty, there was no false emperor at all.
After a short silence, a gloomy voice sounded: "Yan Er, have you come all the way here to pay my respects?"
