One glass of poisonous wine would kill Li Xiuyuan.
If this can be done, it would be too disrespectful. He is not a foolish and loyal person.
The world will become like this. Not to mention the chaos caused by ghosts, gods and evil spirits, the fundamental reason is still because of the corruption of the court and the complaints and lamentations of the people. It is this resentment that breeds many evil spirits that harm people.
Therefore, Li Xiuyuan was very dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty from the bottom of his heart. If the dynasty had not been determined and the fate was hard to change, how could he be willing to serve the Song Dynasty.
Cutting off the imperial edict and overturning Yujiu now shows his attitude.
When Zuo Qianhu saw Li Xiuyuan coming, he held the sword tightly and whispered anxiously: "Quickly, escort Mr. Zhao out of Ruyifang, and the others will follow me to capture Mr. Li..."
Immediately, the imperial guards around him took Zhao Yong down, who was lying on the ground, and then the imperial guards who poured into Ruyifang came straight towards him with long spears in hand.
But at this moment, Li Xiuyuan's long sword had already arrived.
He took a big step, sword light flashed, and headed straight for Zuo Qianhu.
Zuo Qianhu was shocked and hurriedly waved his sword to block it.
"Keng~!"
There was a sound of gold and iron clashing, and the long knife in his hand immediately broke into two sections.
Feeling that the sword was broken, Zuo Qianhu almost subconsciously rolled to the side to avoid it. He had already keenly sensed a crisis approaching, and his avoidance was almost out of instinct.
"Tsk~!"
A hideous gash instantly appeared on his arm, and blood splattered.
"What a fast sword." Zuo Qianhu stepped back repeatedly. He gritted his teeth and hurriedly tore off his clothes and wrapped them around his arms to prevent the blood from flowing.
No matter how hard he mobilized his inner strength, it would be useless to treat such wounds.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Yes, you are wary of me. It is indeed impossible to kill you with one or two swords. Your martial arts are not bad, and they are all trained through life and death fights. Just now I was holding on to my will."
I will deal with you with the determination to kill. If it weren’t for the sharpness of Tai’a sword, I wouldn’t have it.
How easy it is to hurt you."
A sword is a powerful weapon, which has great advantages for people with strong martial arts skills.
This is especially evident in the life and death struggle.
"Master Li, it's useless to talk more. If you really want to go against the imperial court, you can only offend me because of your humble position today. Let's go together." Zuo Qianhu endured the pain. He didn't dare to ask for help, and immediately summoned his subordinates to prepare to work together to get it.
Exit Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan smiled softly, and did not choose to fight alone. He signaled, and soldiers immediately poured out from all directions in Ruyi Square. Although there were not many people, the impact of less than a hundred people fighting in this small place was not very big.
, enough to fight for quite a long time.
And after a long battle, his goal was achieved.
"Master Li, there are two thousand men and horses outside. You don't have a hundred men, so why let them risk their lives together? If Master Li can plead guilty, the capital will be spared another fight and killing today." Zuo Qianhu said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Zuo Qianhu, your vision is too low to see the world clearly. You may have led the troops here out of loyalty, which is admirable, but your loyalty is not as good as mine."
What I have to do is not worth mentioning. I know what I did today was a mistake.
Since then, some innocent people will inevitably die because of me, but even so, I have to do some things."
"In the past, I only had to work for the common people and the world wholeheartedly, and I could be upright, noble, and respected by others. But then I understood that such persistence can't go far, because some things will never be accomplished without making some sacrifices.
, just like the emperor of Han Dynasty cooked a rabbit to death and cooked a dog, laying the foundation for
The Han Dynasty had a four-hundred-year foundation. The revolution of the Xuanwu Gate by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ushered in the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, and Taizu Huangpao of the Song Dynasty came to establish the present-day Song Dynasty."
"Some roads must be paved with blood. I did not do such a thing today for my own life, but for the sake of the world. Of course, using justice to suppress others is always a bit high-sounding and appears hypocritical and cunning, but it doesn't matter. What I did
There is no need for the world to understand, because all causes
I will be responsible for all the retribution and criticism from the world, as long as one less harm is done to the world, it will be enough."
After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he closed his eyes and waved his hand: "Kill them back."
"Death." After giving the order, Wu Xiang was furious and struck out with the iron stick he carried. He was extremely powerful and had astonishing power. With one swing of his stick, the imperial guards who rushed up immediately fell to pieces like harvesting rice.
An iron rod weighing hundreds of kilograms was swung in his hand, but everyone he encountered was either seriously injured and fell to the ground or was immediately knocked to death.
In the narrow corridor and hall, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and screams were repeated. Those Imperial Guards who had never seen blood turned pale with fear when they saw such a fierce man going crazy. They subconsciously stepped back in fear.
"Don't retreat, don't retreat at all, come with me." Zuo Qianhu shouted loudly. He held a knife in both hands and ran towards Li Xiuyuan.
He had participated in the battle to defend the city in Jinling City, and he knew how terrifying the martial arts of these fierce men was, but he was a person who received the emperor's order, how could he retreat in the face of the battle and retreat without a fight?
"Zuo Qianhu, this kind of court is not worth your life for. Why don't you step down and remain useful so that you can do more good things for the people in the future?" A big sword came and forced Zuo Qianhu back, but it was
Yan Chixia said as if she hated him for not fighting.
Zuo Qianhu shouted: "I can't distinguish between right and wrong, and I don't want to. I only know how to fulfill my duties and serve the court. Other things are what the adults think about and have nothing to do with me. Today, His Majesty has ordered Li to die."
Sir, since you have accepted your humble duty, you must do it well."
After saying that, he went up to kill him with a knife.
Yan Chixia didn't want to kill him, so she fought with swords and swords for more than ten times but couldn't decide the outcome.
"The scholar is right, you are just a fool. The Hu Meiren he killed was a Taoist fox fairy, and the official he killed was a demon in disguise. His current situation is all the centipede's plan. He wanted to send the saint back to his throne.
Take back the divine power and turn this world into a monster with no innocence and no hope.
World, let alone killing a few people, even if he wants to kill tens of thousands of people, I will accompany him to kill him. If the court succeeds, everyone will regret it in the future."
Yan Chixia yelled that he was not confused, even though he knew that Li Xiuyuan's move was wrong, she still had to accompany him.
Because this world cannot bear the price of failure, and at the same time he understands the scholar's mood, how could he be willing to start a war in the capital and kill so many innocent people.
"How can humans be confused with monsters?" Zuo Qianhu shouted: "Master Li's actions today are rebellion. What's the difference between him and Li Liangjin, the king of the Nine Mountains?"
"Fart, if he wants to rebel, why would he stay in the capital? He just wants to take a dragon colt and leave. Can you keep him? His army is in Yangzhou, why should he stay in the capital alone and put himself in danger?" Yan Chi
Xia scolded angrily.
Zuo Qianhu had a wound on his hand. After a fight, he was forcefully beaten back. His chest felt tight and he spat out a mouthful of blood, but he was hit hard by Yan Chixia's sword.
"Your martial arts skills are similar to Xia Houwu's. You are no match for me. Why don't you admit defeat?" Yan Chixia looked at him and said again.
"Serve the country, even if you die, you will have no regrets." Zuo Qianhu gritted his teeth and roared, and came at him again with a knife.
Li Xiuyuan, who was standing with a sword and sitting in the middle, said: "Yan Chixia, get out of the way. Although Zuo Qianhu is foolish and loyal, he is also loyal and courageous. You are a Taoist and the cause of killing Zhongliang is too serious, so let's let him go."
Let me bear the burden of this murder."
Yan Chixia was stunned for a moment, only to see Li Xiuyuan's figure approaching.
A sword slashed down from a high position, without any fancy, only the strength of the days of practicing martial arts condensed on it, powerful and heavy, as fast as lightning.
Zuo Qianhu fought with Yan Chixia for a long time and was seriously injured. At this moment, when he was struck by a sword, his reaction was half a beat too slow.
He felt a cold light flash before his eyes, and he subconsciously covered his neck. Blood spurted out like spring water, his eyes widened, and all the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he fell to his knees directly on the ground.
Lost.
He had already lost to Master Li once in Jinling City, and he lost again this time.
He had no resentment or anger, because he knew that his choice to stay and fight would only lead to this, and he was already prepared to die in battle.
"Li, Mr. Li... I will trouble you because of my humble family..." Zuo Qianhu said with the last bit of strength, his voice was hoarse and weak.
Li Xiuyuan stood with his sword in hand. He did not look at him. Instead, he looked at the Imperial Guards outside Ruyi Square who were pushing back, and said, "Don't worry, I'm sorry for the sword attack today."
"Many...thank you."
After Zuo Qianhu uttered these two words, his head drooped, and the hands covering his neck fell weakly, allowing the blood to gush out from the wound.
"Hey, why is this necessary?" Yan Chixia sighed.
As soon as Zuo Qianhu died, the momentum of the imperial army collapsed instantly. There were warriors like Wu Xiang wielding iron rods and sweeping across the area. Together with other soldiers checking for deficiencies and stabilizing the formation, the three to four hundred people who rushed in before were gone.
In this way, he was easily knocked out of Ruyifang directly.
At this moment, Zhao Yong, who was escorted out by the Forbidden Army, heard the sound of shouting and killing inside, and said a little madly: "Come on, get to me quickly, kill that Li Xiuyuan, kill him, rush in...
..."
"My lord, be careful."
Suddenly, General Yaksha Xu Bao's eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly jumped down from his horse, and slashed forward with the flashing Mo Dao in his hand.
A flying spear broke with a clang.
The spear that was cut into two sections spattered, and when it fell to the ground, the bluestone bricks exploded and sank deeply into the soil.
"What a terrifying strength."
General Yaksha Xu Bao felt his hands were numb and his heart was full of shock.
With a glance from the corner of his eye, he saw the Imperial Guards in front of Ruyifang falling to pieces, but a nine-foot tall man wearing iron armor and holding an iron rod was beating them all the way. Everyone he passed fell on their backs, and he casually grabbed a spear and threw it
It was like a crossbow shot from a bed, penetrating seven or eight people before it lost its accuracy and plunged deeply into the ground.
And the way he looked covered in blood was as if evil had come to the world and he had the courage of a tiger.
If you see someone who is timid, you will die if you encounter him.
"Wu Xiang, the powerful general..." Xu Bao narrowed his eyes and recognized this person. He was the powerful general who had recently been granted the title of a powerful official.
"It is said that this man guarded the city gate by himself during the battle of Jinling City, stopped thousands of elite enemy troops from charging into the city, and raised a bronze lion outside the Zichen Palace. The officials were exclaimed for his supernatural power, so he has
He has gained the reputation of a powerful general, but he never expected that the strength of this man is so impressive.
Afraid."
He is known as General Yaksha, and his mother is a Yaksha from the overseas Yaksha Kingdom. He has had the strength to tear apart tigers and leopards since he was a child, but compared to this, he is still inferior.
Zhao Yong was so shocked that he narrowly escaped death that he collapsed on the ground, his face was pale and bloodless, and his crotch was wet.
If Xu Baomo's knife hadn't stopped him just now, Zhao Yong would have been stabbed through the chest like a gourd.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to break into Ruyifang with this person." Xu Bao looked at the retreating Imperial Army and couldn't help but hesitate.
