Ling Tian couldn't help but curse when he heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer. The long sword in his hand flashed rapidly. In an instant, it had cut through Shen Cun's hands and ankles, cutting open Shen Cun's tendons and then grabbed Shen Cun with one hand.
On the back of Shen Cun's neck, a purple aura surged, suppressing all the boiling internal energy in Shen Cun's body, making it impossible for Shen Cun to make any counterattack.
Carrying Shen Cun, the figure landed on the top of a house. More than a dozen fast horses had already arrived in front of him.
Seeing Ling Tian, the knights on the more than ten fast horses immediately became alert. Their original running speed had slowed down as they entered the town, and now they had almost stopped running. It seemed that they were already planning to fight tooth and nail.
"Looking at the aura around you, you should be of the Taoist lineage. Although His Majesty said that he wanted to receive food from Buddhism and Taoism, he still respects Taoism. Is it possible that you, a Taoist, are already so greedy that you have to do such disrespectful things just to receive food?
…”
Among the knights, a middle-aged man in official uniform rode out and looked at Ling Tian with a sharp gaze.
A trace of heart-stopping aura dissipated with the middle-aged man's words.
This is also a master, and moreover, a Confucian master.
A look of doubt flashed in Ling Tian's eyes. He was not surprised at all that Confucianism took action against the emperor. In later generations, in his time, Confucianism had already been stripped of its luster and was listed as one of the most important Chinese families along with the aristocratic families.
The main culprit for the collapse of the empire.
At this moment, when he saw that the emperor was actually being guarded by Confucian people, and that he still refused to leave when he had to fight for his life, as if he wanted to follow the emperor until death, Ling Tian felt that
Get weird.
"Do you believe me when I say I was implicated? This bastard insists on framing the killing of Prince Ning and the killing of the Emperor on me..."
Ling Tian shook his hands and picked up Shen Cun and shook him toward the knight below.
He needs reputation very much. At this moment, if he takes action directly and kills the protected one among the knights, or even does nothing and lets the guys who have followed behind kill these knights, I guess it will be very difficult.
The rumor that he killed the emperor will soon spread throughout the nine states, and by then, his reputation will increase at a terrifying speed.
However, at this moment, the guys who were chasing him were also looking at him eagerly, with terrifying murderous intent and an even more terrifying aura sealing off all the space around him.
There is no doubt that after these guys kill the emperor, he will be the next one to kill.
Unfortunately, Ling Tian could tell that he alone could not escape the joint encirclement and suppression of the group of guys who were chasing him.
"You are Lin Tian, Lin Tian from Fuwei Escort Agency..."
Suddenly, the protected one among the knights, who should be Zhu Houzhao, spoke.
"Speaking of which, I would like to be grateful to you. If you hadn't raised the banner of killing the emperor's uncle and forced my good ministers to take action in advance, I'm afraid that by the time I discovered their true power, I wouldn't have had the slightest chance of survival.
there is none left……"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Ling Tian with a wry smile and said.
Ling Tian looked back at Zhu Houzhao. Ling Tian didn't understand the latter too well. In fact, up to now, Ling Tian didn't fully understand what happened to Zhu Houzhao and Confucianism.
The only thing Ling Tian can tell now is that there seems to be a conflict between Zhu Houzhao and the Confucian disciples in the court. Some Confucian disciples want to kill Zhu Houzhao. If we look at history, according to the normal trajectory, Zhu Houzhao should indeed die.
After King Ning's rebellion.
So, does this count as changing history?...
A thought came to Ling Tian's mind, but he quickly wiped it away. They were not out of danger yet.
"I said it was unintentional, do you believe it..."
Ling Tian looked at Zhu Houzhao and spoke again.
At this moment, Ling Tian really felt speechless. He just wanted to gain some fame. It happened that Lin Zhenyuan was a member of King Ning, and he really took action against Fuwei Escort Agency, so he used King Ning to
Make a name for your target.
He never thought about participating in the battle between the emperor and the Confucianists.
Even when he first discovered this, he allowed the Confucians to use his name to kill Prince Ning and the Emperor. Unfortunately, this Confucian was too pursuing perfection in his work and refused to give him any freedom.
"Whether intentional or not, we are all in the same boat now. I, Wang Yangming, also asked Mr. Lin to assist in escorting His Majesty out..."
The middle-aged man in official uniform who had spoken to Ling Tian before spoke again. As he spoke, he gave Ling Tian a fierce fist. Then, his figure jumped up from the horse and landed beside Ling Tian.
, looking at the people chasing after them and slowly surrounding them.
"Master Su, since you have retired and returned to your hometown, why bother to get involved in this muddy water? Aren't you afraid that you will not be safe in the evening... Even if I, Wang Yangming, sacrifice my life today, I will protect your majesty from trouble. By then, the Ming Dynasty will be worth millions."
The army is sweeping in. You are a sinner of Bailu Academy and a sinner of Confucianism..."
A cold voice shouted from Wang Yangming's mouth. His eyes were fixed on the crowd surrounding him, especially the old man at the front.
And as Wang Yangming shouted, below, the knights who had no intention of turning around and fighting were already guarding Zhu Houzhao and were ready to continue running away at any time.
Ling Tian's cheeks twitched slightly, but Wang Yangming didn't give him a chance to respond, but directly pulled him to confront the guys who were chasing him.
"Protect the emperor and you may get...glory, a glory known to the whole world..."
Ling Tian's cheek twitched, and then he spoke loudly.
At this time, he was still thinking about killing the emperor to gain fame. Ling Tian was definitely mentally ill. In order to survive, he could only cooperate with Zhu Houzhao's people, especially the guy next to him, Wang Yangming, a saint of the generation.
If history hadn't made a mess because of his butterfly wings being flapped, this guy should never have died here, then they still have a great chance in this battle.
However, although there was no other choice, Ling Tian still hoped to gain more fame.
"I swear to the ancestors of the Wang family that as long as you can protect His Majesty's safety, the imperial court will spread your reputation to every corner of the Ming Dynasty and ensure that everyone knows it..."
Wang Yangming turned around and glanced at Ling Tian speechlessly. He had a good reputation among the people in the world. How could Wang Yangming, a man who is known for his unity of knowledge and action, not know this? However, the extent of Ling Tian's good reputation still surprised him. However,
At this time, Wang Yangming would never refuse any request from Ling Tian, not to mention that Ling Tian really protected the emperor. With Wang Yangming's character, he would repay the favor.
As for becoming famous, for Wang Yangming and the Ming Dynasty, it was definitely a free and easy way to repay him.
