The sound of uniform footsteps was sonorous and powerful, shaking the heartstrings of everyone present.
Close!
When the torches lit up the night sky in front of His Highness Shen Xin, Wang Mang and the others also saw Li Mu and Zhen Mi.
If you want to climb the Shenxin Palace, you have to climb the twenty-eight steps.
At this moment, Li Mu and Zhen Mi were standing at the end of the twenty-eight steps, waiting for them.
When Ma Su saw the couple, his expression changed from pain to regret. When Ma Su saw the cold knife in Li Mu's hand, his eyelids began to beat uncontrollably.
It turns out that Lu Bu did not make a false report. It turns out that His Majesty's words, "Today, unless I die, I wonder who can take the queen away!" was not a bluff.
It seems that His Majesty tonight is determined to protect the Queen with death in retribution.
The black-armored guards behind him began to retreat to both sides!
Li Mu held Zhen Mi's hand tightly and was looking down at Wang Mang's party.
At this moment, Wang Mang was also looking up at Li Mu and Zhen Mi.
At this moment, she has understood Li Mu's determination to protect her, so Zhen Mi has nothing to fear.
Her heart has a destination, and whether it is the place of birth or death, she will accompany Li Mu there.
Therefore, at this moment, Zhen Mi looked at Wang Mang with fearless eyes.
There was silence everywhere, and all eyes were focused on the monarch and his ministers.
Wang Mang did not choose to climb the steps, but just stood at the foot of the steps and looked up at Li Mu without blinking.
While looking up, Wang Mang took the lead to break the silence and said to Li Mu: "Your Majesty, you don't really think that you can stop me from taking away the queen by raising a knife, do you?"
His eyes were contemptuous, and even his tone was laced with contempt.
At the same time as Wang Mang said these words, several sneers suddenly sounded from behind him.
This ridicule was led by Liang Fang and assisted by several black armored guards.
"Of course not!" Listening to the sneers below, Li Mu admitted generously to Wang Mang.
This admission aroused Wang Mang's posthumous ridicule.
Under this ridicule, Li Mu continued: "Since the general can't do it, I can also tell the general clearly that the knife in my hand is not enough to prevent the general from entering the palace. That's the case -
" After speaking condescendingly to Wang Mang, Li Mu suddenly shouted to Wang Mang at the foot of the stairs: "In that case, what are you waiting for, general? Just lead the troops and attack!"
As Li Mu shouted, the laughter in the audience suddenly stopped!
Is it possible that His Majesty has lost his temper and gone crazy? How could he shout such mindless words to their general?
Are you still going to attack? Is his formation worthy?
This majesty is really able to put his face on the line. With his one-man-sword-striking posture, even if the general sends anyone up, he can press his majesty to the ground and rub him, let alone attack.
"how?"
Just when Liang Fang was about to laugh out loud again, Li Mu turned on his crazy mode again.
"What? Is the general afraid?"
What? The general is afraid?
Hearing Li Mu's words, Liang Fang really couldn't bear it anymore.
Just when he was about to laugh out loud, Li Mu's next words made him shut up completely.
Not only is his mouth closed, but his eyes are also wide open.
"It seems that the general is really afraid that the queen and I will commit suicide in front of the general? In fact, I am not afraid to tell you, general, that this is my plan! Because this is the only way I can go.
"
Under Liang Fang's increasingly widened eyes, Li Mu suddenly raised a knife and put it on his neck. Not only Li Mu, but also Zhen Mi next to Li Mu suddenly took out a gleaming dagger from his sleeve and put it on his neck.
On that snow-white neck.
"His Majesty!"
But seeing Li Mu and Zhen Mi making such dangerous moves, Pang Juan was frightened and stepped forward.
Just as he took a step forward, Bai Qi grabbed him behind him.
The wind was so high tonight that Wang Mang was as silent as a cicada behind him.
Whether a person really has the courage to hang himself can be seen from his eyes and behavior.
It was precisely because of this that Liang Fang knew that Li Mu and Zhen Mi were not trying to scare General Wang Mang.
No one knows better than him the consequences of Li Mu hanging himself.
Tonight, all of Yecheng
Everyone knew that Wang Mang wanted to take the queen to the Tingwei Mansion.
If, tonight, your Majesty and the Queen hang themselves in front of the General and them, then they are the ones who forced the Emperor to death, and then they will surely attract the whole world to attack...
Liang Fang no longer dared to think about it anymore because he was completely frightened.
I don't know why, after things evolved into a situation where His Majesty was threatening death, Ma Su's originally tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed.
This relaxation came for no reason, not even he could understand.
But this is the fact.
Could it be said that Your Majesty really has grasped the General's seven inches? His Majesty understands his importance to the General.
However, judging from the determination shown by the General at that time in the General's Mansion, the General obviously expected that His Majesty would use such a move.
Since it has been expected, the general must have a way to deal with it.
But now it seems that not only did the general have no way to deal with it, but he himself seemed to be shocked by His Majesty's hand.
Why?
The current situation is clearly contrary to the determination of the General in the General's Mansion.
Moreover, Ma Su carefully discovered that since the confrontation between the General and His Majesty, the General only spoke to His Majesty once, and His Majesty did the rest.
Why is this?
Wang Mang talked little, and Li Mu also noticed.
Not only did he discover this, he also discovered that Wang Mang's determination to capture Zhen Mi didn't seem that strong.
At this moment, like Ma Su, he was also deeply immersed in all kinds of confusion.
Everything that happened today was full of coincidences that were neither coincidence nor weird.
If he hadn't discovered those eyes in the crowd during the previous confrontation with Wang Mang, even as a man of two generations, he would not associate what happened that day with the word conspiracy.
Thinking of this, he looked at Wang Mang who was still standing at the foot of the steps without saying a word.
Li Mu felt that Wang Mang's behavior was really confusing.
What was supposed to be a fierce confrontation with Wang Mang suddenly turned into Li Mu singing alone.
I have to say, Wang Mang I was frightened by him, even if I beat him to death, I wouldn't believe him.
Just when Li Mu and Ma Su were finding it increasingly difficult to understand Wang Mang's thoughts, Wang Mang finally took action.
I saw him squinting his eyes with a mixture of light and dark, and stepped onto the steps step by step.
After stepping onto the steps, Wang Mang suddenly raised his eyes and said to Li Mu: "Your Majesty is the king, and I am the minister! Today, I want to take a knife and kill myself as a minister? If this spreads out, even if I am not a rebellious minister, I will let your majesty sit down."
The identity of this rebellious minister is confirmed. It’s just..."
After saying this to Li Mu, Wang Mang continued: "It's just that I have to do something when I come here. Even if I end up in such a rebellious position, I have to do it. I hope your Majesty will forgive you."
What's the meaning?
What did Wang Mang mean when he said this to him?
Could it be that he and Zhen Mi really wanted to receive lunch boxes today?
Although Li Mu did have this all-or-nothing intention, he actually still had some luck in mind.
Now this remaining bit of luck was shattered by Wang Mang himself, and Li Mu couldn't help but look at Zhen Mi beside him.
Seeing this, he was suddenly shocked!
Because she saw the determination towards him in Zhen Mi's firm eyes.
"Wang Mang!"
It was as if he had received some huge stimulus.
Li Mu shouted angrily and snatched the dagger from Zhen Mi's hand with his backhand.
Then, with Zhen Mi's shocked and even horrified expression, she raised the knife and pierced her abdomen.
"His Majesty……"
But seeing this situation, Zhen Mi immediately burst into tears.
It was also under Zhen Mi's loud crying that Li Mu's eyes were revealed and he glared angrily at the audience. Wang Mang shouted loudly again: "Wang Mang, the dragon has reverse scales, and you will die if you touch it! The phoenix has a weak neck, and the offender will die! I am today
I’m just going to ask you once, and I’m only asking you once, if the queen really has it, can I make up for it by stabbing myself?"
"General!"
But after listening to what Li Mu said and seeing blood oozing from Li Mu's lower abdomen, Liang Fang and Ma Su were so frightened that they hurriedly rushed to Wang Mang.
"General, please think twice and please consider the overall situation and stop forcing Your Majesty."
"Ma Di is right, General, we really can't force His Majesty like this anymore."
