The scorching sun was in the sky, shining on the dripping blood on the steps of the sky, it seemed that it would soon be baked to dryness, but the white throat on the corpse was so scorching that people's eyeballs became hard and cold. All the courtiers in front of the Zichen Palace froze and closed their mouths.

Looking up, they saw above the steps of the sky, the man in the purple robe was standing tall against the sun, with one hand behind his back, and the other holding the sleeve in front of the golden jade belt around his waist, his phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, and his eyes were exposed. A bit of a treacherous smile.

Nine years of ups and downs in the officialdom, polished by knives and stones, they suddenly realized that a literati has grown into a thunderbolt, a mighty force, just standing there, looking down from a high place, can make people speechless.

Up to this moment, their suspicion of Lu Shiqing's intentions has gradually changed from suspicion to certainty.

But it's useless to be sure. As early as an hour ago, someone noticed that the defense of the Daming Palace was not right. Several generals rushed to notify the three major battalions of the Beijing Army to warn them. .

Lu Shiqing came prepared, not only emptied the entire imperial palace, but also made arrangements for the three major battalions of the Beijing Army. As for the temporary reinforcements sent to other places in Chang'an due to the war, the talisman to dispatch them is in the hands of the saint.

The war was in turmoil, and the saints were all soldiers, and they were not willing to hand over the soldier talisman to anyone. Now he is trapped in Zichen Palace, his life and death are unknown, unless he crosses the Jinwu Guard and breaks in, it will be useless at all. But the military generals have all gone to support the army, and none of them will return. Most of the people present are unarmed and weak civil servants, and the remaining few princes and grandchildren are also unbearable people like Zheng Pei. How can they break in.

In the dead silence, Lu Shiqing looked at the corpse under his feet, and said calmly: "The sun is shining, if you all want to lie down and rest like Young Supervisor Zhu, Lu will be satisfied."

When he said this, he made it clear what he meant by rebellion.

An old minister named Xu Fabai spoke first, pointing his index finger at him tremblingly: "Lu Shilang, you...do you know what you are doing!"

Lu Shiqing bent his lips and smiled: "Don't bother Sun Shizhong to remind you, Lu is very clear."

This Sun Shizhong was his former immediate boss in the province, and although he hadn't formally paid homage to him, he was considered his teacher.

Sun Lao's face turned red when he heard the words: "No matter how inappropriate or negligent the sage is, Da Zhou can only be named Zheng. How can you allow yourself to sneak in when the country is in danger! Great rebellion... Great rebellion... It's useless to me Nian treats you like a grandson!"

As he spoke, he staggered forward, pulled out the cross knife from the waist of a guard directly in front, and slashed forward.

The Jinwu guards on all sides immediately drew their swords to stop him, Lu Shiqing frowned imperceptibly, and a stone in his palm shot out, hitting Old Sun's knee.

The man who was already unsteady in his steps fell to the ground with his knees limp, and the knife that had stabbed him in the heart was missed.

The people below who didn't know the inside story immediately scolded.

Those who helped people helped people, those who cursed cursed, and those who were afraid and afraid stayed at the end of the crowd.

Lu Shiqing turned a deaf ear, turned his ears slightly, and heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance, until the sound got closer and closer, then stretched out two fingers, put them together and pressed down, signaling that all disobedient ones would be killed.

The Jinwu Guard got the order, drew the horizontal knife out of its sheath in his hand, arranged a triangular formation and rushed down the sky steps, but the next moment, he heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing coming from the entrance of the palace road.

The ultimate move was in front of them, everyone looked back in astonishment, and saw the man in the black armor galloping up, throwing a long spear in his left hand, blocking the horizontal knife in front of an old minister's heart, and shouted in a deep voice: "Stand back!"

It's Zheng Zhuo. There are also thousands of Da Zhou soldiers who came to the rescue.

Only then did the courtiers realize that the Sixth Highness had not been under the Heavenly Order.

Everyone seemed to be pardoned, and with tears in their eyes, they hurriedly retreated and ran to hide behind the reinforcements. Lu Shiqing made another "kill" gesture, and the moment he pressed down his fingers, his eyes collided with Zheng Zhuo who was galloping on the horse. After a glance, they calmly separated from each other.

With the sword in hand, the two sides instantly killed each other. And Zheng Zhuo is like a sharp axe, rushing to the sky steps in the blink of an eye.

Lu Shiqing was guarded by the Jinwu guards, and said coldly: "Archer."

A Jinwu Guard holding a heavy arrow stepped forward, aimed the arrow at Zheng Zhuo's heart, bent his knees and pulled the string, the bow became a full moon, and the next moment, the arrow pierced the void.

The courtiers hiding behind watching the battle shouted in unison, "His Royal Highness, be careful—!"

Hearing the sound, Zheng Zhuo turned slightly to one side, narrowly avoiding the vital point, the heavy arrow brushed past his right arm, bringing up a trail of white and red flesh.

The veteran who couldn't help being frightened burst into tears: "Your Highness, come back quickly!"

The courtiers who were usually not optimistic about Zheng Zhuo were completely convinced by this arrow.

Zheng Zhuo didn't retreat, and continued to kill with his left hand firmly holding the saber.

His right hand was already useless.

Lu Shiqing smiled faintly, and suddenly turned around and retreated into the main hall. When he came out again, he had a dagger in his hand, which was separated from his crown and hat, the half-dead Emperor Huining.

He said softly: "If Your Highness is one foot closer to me, the knife in my hand will be one inch closer to His Majesty."

Zheng Zhuo reined in the horse, the horse's hooves were raised high and then fell heavily.

Everyone around was shocked: "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Huining's beard and hair were scattered, his face was pale, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak well. He only uttered a few random words for a long time, probably scolding Lu Shiqing.

Lu Shiqing grabbed the back of his neck with one hand, and grabbed the dagger with the other, without any fear, he said calmly: "Your Highness, tell your people to rest."

Zheng Zhuo stopped all the soldiers, remained silent for a while, and finally spoke, saying concisely: "Conditions." He was asking him the conditions for releasing Emperor Huining.

Lu Shiqing also answered crisply: "Let people out of the city." The implication was that he was allowed to retreat completely and leave Chang'an City safely.

The two sides faced each other silently for a while, Zheng Zhuo stared at Emperor Huining's eyes full of fear, moved away for a long time, and ordered: "Let Minister Lu leave the city safely."

Lu Shiqing picked up Emperor Huining, got on his horse, and galloped towards the gate of the palace under the protection of a group of Jinwu guards.

Zheng Zhuo followed closely behind, keeping a distance of thirty feet from him.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the side rode their horses and said, "Your Highness, don't you need arrows?"

His face darkened: "If something happens to hurt His Majesty, will you be responsible for it?"

The soldiers fell silent for a moment.

You chased me all the way, and the two parties didn't stop until they reached the Golden Light Gate of Chang'an City.

Lu Shiqing reined in his horse and turned around, threw Emperor Huining to his opponent, and then turned his horse's head and galloped westward. At the same time, a hundred fine riders sent by Yuan Yizhi to meet him suddenly rushed out from the crossing , Stopped the soldiers and horses on Zheng Zhuo's side who wanted to go forward and pursue them.

A cavalryman followed Lu Shiqing and heard him ask: "Is the county lord safe?"

"Don't worry Lu Shilang, according to your instructions, the county lord, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu have all been escorted out of the city half an hour ago."

He said "yes", whipped his whip, and never looked back from the beginning to the end.

Zheng Zhuo, who was blocked by the cavalry over there, looked straight at his receding back.

Last night, Zheng Zhuo sat opposite Lu Shiqing at the Zhongshu Provincial Yamen, and heard him say: "Ah Zhuo, the sage is determined to wipe out the roots of the Yuan family. The Yuan family has no way out, and neither do I."

He nodded when he heard the words, and said after a long silence: "Then rebel. Let's rebel together."

Lu Shiqing shook his head: "The Lu family and the Yuan family have no way out, but you still have."

He asked what it meant.

At that time, the surroundings were silent except for the dripping sound. Lu Shiqing replied with a smile: "Whether it's rebellion or regicide, I can do it, but you can't. It's enough for me to splash this dirty mud. I don't care when A sycophant who has been infamous for thousands of years, but you have to be a Ming emperor who will go down in history."

Hearing the words, he suddenly jumped up, gritted his teeth and shouted at him: "Lu Zishu!"

Lu Shiqing raised his eyes and said, "What? You think it's too boring to be enthroned in the future without an old friend or confidant? But you also have to think about me. I've been in the court for you for so many years, and I can't be clean for a day. Now is the time I have lived the days of idle clouds and wild cranes. If you want to repay me, remember that after you ascended the throne, you tore up the notices on the streets to arrest prisoners, and just faked my death. play."

He snorted coldly and reprimanded him: "You have a good idea. If I really become the throne, the first thing I will do is to expiate your crimes, rectify your name, and bring you back to the court to serve as the order of Zhongshu."

Lu Shiqing smiled: "It's better to go fishing than to be a Zhongshuling. You don't know, Cixian doesn't like Chang'an. When everything is settled, I want to take her back to Luoyang to live in seclusion." Speaking of this, it is rare for a person who has always been indifferent to reveal a few words. Looking forward to it, he emphasized, "I've thought about it for a long time."

Zheng Zhuo finally choked, had nothing to say, and sighed for a long while: "Why do I have such a vile friend like you."

"It's not bad, if you come to Luoyang someday, I'll take care of your wine."

"You brewed it yourself? Afraid of being poisoned to death, you still won't come." After he finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.

Lu Shiqing scrambled behind him and said: "Then tomorrow will be our last meeting, remember to act well, and act vigorously."

Then this is the last side.

Zheng Zhuo sat on the horse, his eyes passed through countless soldiers and horses and moving heads, and fell on Lu Shiqing who was leaving in the dust.

The splashed mud stained his robe, but he ignored it and ignored it.

He loves a clean person so much, but he said that he doesn't care about being criticized by others, and he will leave a bad smell for thousands of years, just to leave the shining light in his eyes, the future Mingjun of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Zheng Zhuo, Zheng Zhuo, you have to be sorry.

There was a noisy sound in his ears, and Emperor Huining, who was thrown off his horse by Lu Shiqing, finally came to Zheng Zhuo with the help of his soldiers, and he whispered to his son with trembling hands: "Liulang, Liulang...my soldier talisman is hidden in the heart of the pillow In the box...you go and get it, go and get it quickly, and kill that thief for me, kill him!"

When he said this, he didn't even look at the **** wound on his son's arm.

Zheng Zhuo stared at him indifferently, until the suspicious look in his eyes turned, and then he smiled with his lips together: "I will obey the holy order." After saying that, he turned his horse's head and galloped towards Daming Palace.

Before entering the city gate, he reined in his horse, turned around again, took a hard look in the direction of the back road behind him, and saw that Lu Shiqing was no longer at the end of the official road.

He blinked, and said silently: The world is far away, so cherish it.

Didn't have time to say last night.
