last time

Chapter 143
Standing in front of the hall, Wu Xiuting lightly tapped his arm with his fingertips, and then slowly opened his eyes in response to the chaotic sound of footsteps approaching.

Ye Ji tightened the reins, and met Wu Xiuting's eyes when he turned around.Ye Ji tilted her head slightly, glanced at the people around him, and couldn't help laughing.

"You know these people can't stop me." Ye Ji rubbed her wrist, she looked at Wu Xiuting and said, "If you have to fight, you are not my opponent."

Wu Xiuting looked down at Ye Ji, and said: "General Ye's prestige is far-reaching, I know I'm not as good as General Ye, so I just tried my best to stop her at this time."

"Where's my sister?" Ye Ji raised her voice and asked.

Wu Xiuting frowned and said, "The general is too impatient."

Ye Ji gritted her teeth and said in a bitter voice, "I knew I shouldn't talk nonsense with you!"

Ye Jifei stepped on the horse, and rushed up the steps with a knife in hand. Wu Xiuting originally wanted to spend more time with her to buy some time, but he didn't expect Ye Ji to be so impatient. He slowly backed away, letting the people around him Stop Ye Ji.

Wu Xiuting had already moved Yan Yingzhen and Xu Zheng according to Yan Chengxuan's instructions. As for Lan Pin and Chu Shiyu, he had never been involved.Wu Xiuting got into the hall, and the inside was full of soldiers with bows and arrows. He sighed deeply and said, "Shooting arrows!"

Ye Ji had sensed something was wrong a long time ago, she turned around and hid behind the pillar as a temporary barrier, she shouted sharply: "Hide!"

After staying with Ye Ji for a long time, these people were very clever, and they all found something that could be used as a cover to hide. Ye Ji poked his head out to look, and motioned for them to follow him and gather towards the gate of the palace.

Ye Ji was very fast, using the blind spot to reach the gate of the hall in a very short time, she raised her eyes to look at the torn window paper, and then kicked open the gate, Wu Xiuting's sword had already arrived beside Ye Ji , taking advantage of her figure, he slammed the blade sideways forcefully.

Ye Ji clenched his wrist, and suddenly folded it backwards.Although Wu Xiuting is the Minister of the Ministry of War, he has not experienced a few real gun battles. It is said that Ye Ji is strong, but no one has said that she is so strong.

Wu Xiuting felt that his arm was about to break, he leaned back, Ye Ji frowned, pushed him away in disgust, kicked off the sword in Wu Xiuting's hand, the silver light of Yangyue's blade suddenly appeared, and it lay horizontally like this on his neck.

"Stop all of them!" Ye Ji took down Wu Xiuting easily, and it was not unexpected. She said that Wu Xiuting was not her opponent, so it was not a lie.

Everyone stopped what they were doing, and Ye Ji grabbed Wu Xiuting's collar and pulled it back, holding the tiger's mouth on the back of his neck tightly.Ye Ji whispered in his ear: "Wu Shilang, have you thought it through? Tell me where my sister is, or I will kill you."

Wu Xiuting snorted softly: "You already knew Lan Bin wasn't here?"

"The palace is so big and I'm not stupid." Ye Ji didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and said, "You are here to confuse the public, and I will accompany you in this play, so you can just stay here."

Ye Ji pushed Wu Xiuting away violently, stepped on his shoulder and pressed him to the ground, Wu Xiuting's hand was stuck behind Ye Ji, he frowned and tried to break free, but he said in a hoarse voice: "General Ye has Find it yourself!"

"I do have the ability!" Ye Ji lowered her voice, she bent slightly, and said, "Wu Shilang, please accompany me for a while first."

Ye Ji picked up the two arrows on the ground and stabbed them hard into Wu Xiuting's calf. Wu Xiuting almost went crazy due to the sudden pain, Ye Ji broke the arrow feathers, Wu Xiuting gritted his teeth and stared at Ye Ji.

The garrison wanted to help Wu Xiuting, but was forced by his screams and couldn't take a step. They could only watch the blood soak their clothes and make a ball on the ground.

"Don't look at me like that." Ye Ji stared at the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Your legs won't be disabled, you just can't stand up temporarily."

"Ye Ji!" Wu Xiuting shouted sharply.

Ye Ji glanced at him: "Carry it, go to the holy hall."

***
The pilgrimage hall is the most solemn place.The deep palace and high-rise buildings enter Ziqing, and the gold is made of dragons and embroidered couplets.The land of luxury in the world, there is only emptiness behind it, and the towers and halls are built on the clouds. It was originally what the hearts of the people wanted, but they never wanted to come into view again, but they were all broken dreams.

It seems that I just came here to play for a while, this is the jade palace of the Han Dynasty described in the text, ethereal and illusory, never real.

Li Yunchuan stepped into the hall, only to see a person sitting alone on the high hall.Emperor Chongwen was wearing a crimson gold silk dragon-pattern court dress full of court beads, with a jade belt around his waist, and the beads were hanging down to cover half of the monarch's face.

Li Xunchuan was a little dazed.He vaguely remembered the day when Emperor Chongwen came to the throne, the banners fluttered, the rituals and music rang together, accompanied by three solemn bells and drums, the young emperor lifted his robe and stepped up the ranks, walking steadily step by step, Li Yuchuan stood on the square, Perhaps he was the only one who noticed the faint trembling of the monarch hiding under the dragon robe.

That wasn't timidity or fear, it was the tacit feeling of Li Yuchuan and the monarch.

The monarch finally stood on the high-level white jade, looked at Li Yuchuan who was not yet a champion, and finally held the dragon seal in both hands to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth. It was on that day that Emperor Chongwen began to drift away from the past.

Li Xunchuan bowed down like before, but this time the monarch did not let him lie down without courtesy, but just called out softly when he got up: "Ah Xun..."

Emperor Chongwen always called him "Chi Yue".Li Xunchuan listened to his words and walked from the stage in front of the palace to the side of the emperor. He walked very cautiously step by step, and also got closer and closer. Only then did Li Xunchuan realize that the emperor's complexion was no longer as simple as pale.

"Your Majesty..." Li Yanchuan said in a trembling voice, "I'm late..."

"Why did you come?" Emperor Chongwen said coldly.

Li Xunchuan didn't answer, but Emperor Chongwen said: "Yan Chengxuan will definitely not let you out alive, I'm just a trap here, why bother taking risks?"

"Chen..." Li Yanchuan looked down at the monarch, and said, "If you don't come, you won't be considered as His Majesty's brother..."

"Brother?" Emperor Chongwen smiled slightly when he heard the words, nodded his head belatedly, and said, "Yes, we are brothers..."

Li Xunchuan frowned tightly.

Emperor Chongwen was still leaning on the armrest of the dragon chair just now, now he stretched out his hand to Li Yuchuan, asking him to come to his side.

Li Xunchuan knelt down halfway, and he held the monarch's hand tightly. The coldness was like ice and snow that was about to melt, and he could melt it with a little force.This is a cold illness.

"Your Majesty..." Li Yanchuan raised his eyes to look at the haggard expression of the monarch, and said softly, "The cold disease is obviously almost cured, why did it become like this?"

There was a layer of mist in Emperor Chongwen's eyes, he couldn't see Li Yanchuan very much, so he could only get closer, Li Yanchuan touched his knuckle fingers, and said: "Your Majesty, where is Yan Chengxuan, the minister will definitely kill him." Let him go and protect His Majesty!"

Emperor Chongwen shook his head lightly when he heard the words, he sighed deeply, and said softly, "Ah, I'm very happy when you come back, but if you don't come, I will be even happier."

"What are you talking about?" Li Yanchuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, since I am back, I will definitely not let Your Majesty fall into danger again..."

"Ah..." Emperor Chongwen's breathing became more and more difficult. He squeezed Li Yanchuan's hand and said, "Listen to me, I know you don't want to stay in Gaodu, you want to go back to Beili... you can now Go back, don't stay here anymore, you go..."

Li Xunchuan sneered: "I am your champion, how could I leave now?"

"I, I don't have much time..." Emperor Chongwen looked at Li Yuchuan, and said after a long time: "I'm sorry for you for many things. Before his death, the father confessed that you don't want your achievements to be overwhelming, and you must protect the Chu family. It was originally a joke, but it was hard for you to accompany me to be silly for a while..."

Li Xunchuan wanted to speak, but Chu Shiyu pinched his wrist, and continued: "I know that I am getting farther and farther away from you, and I don't expect to be able to go back to the past, but Ah Xun, you must live well and live well. live on..."

"What are you talking about?" Li Yanchuan looked at Chu Shiyu and said, "Why do I want to live, am I here to save you? You follow me, and I will take you out of here..."

The monarch smiled helplessly with tears in his eyes and said, "I can't go..."

Li Xunchuan shook his head, he stood up and held the monarch's shoulder, intending to carry him away from the pilgrimage hall.Chu Shiyu forcefully opened his hand. He didn't have much strength left. He lost his strength after several pulls and fell to the ground. The bead shook and made a crisp sound. The things were thrown aside.

Chu Shiyu took off the jade hairpin that tied his hair, and his black hair fell behind him like a waterfall, making his face even more pale and terrifying.

"Your Majesty!" Li Yanchuan supported his arm, and could only pull the monarch's body onto his shoulder.

"Ah..." Chu Shiyu pulled the front of his chest, and said in a deep voice: "This cold disease can't be cured, and I can't leave here again. But you can, I don't care what Yan Chengxuan wants to do." What, I can't control what purpose he has, the concubine Lan and the imperial concubine were taken away by him, he just wants me to die here with you, listen to me, you leave Gaodu, go to Beili..."

Li Xunchuan supported his body.

"I know you...you like Zhuo Ran, she, since she is the princess of the former court, there will be many people staring at her, you protect her well, take her back to Beili to live a good life, don't worry about Zhongqu...they Just let them do whatever you want, I've really had enough of this kind of life!"

Li Xunchuan frowned slightly: "Xiaqiu... is she?"

"It's absolutely true..." Chu Shiyu grabbed Li Yuchuan, stared into his eyes and said, "I can't use her, and I don't want to kill her, so I let go..."

He turned back slowly, looking at the dragon chair.Although it is noble and elegant, all you can hear when you sit on it are screams of pain, and the chair is full of blood when you touch it, which is extremely gloomy.

"It's really enough..." Chu Shiyu shook his head mockingly, he smiled and said, "It's ok, I'm just an idler, and now this torture can be regarded as a relief..."

"Your Majesty," Li Yanchuan said anxiously, "The little prince, Concubine Lan and the imperial concubine all need His Majesty, you, you hold on, I will take you away!"

"Ah!" Emperor Chongwen yelled sharply, and then couldn't help coughing twice. Seeing this, Li Xunchuan hurriedly followed his back, but it was useless.Chu Shiyu covered his lips with blood seeping from between the fingers, Li Xunchuan took out a handkerchief and tried to wipe it off, but it couldn't be wiped clean, and there was more and more blood.

The bright red hurt Li Yuchuan's eyes, and the monarch seemed not to give up until he vomited all the blood. He bent down and lay on the ground for a long time, unable to recover.Li Xunchuan wiped his face, covering all the unbearable wetness into his sleeves.

"Your Majesty..." Li Yanchuan's throat choked up, and he couldn't say anything else.

Chu Shiyu smiled miserably at the scarlet, leaning on Li Yuchuan's shoulder, but couldn't help sliding down.

Li Xunchuan clutched his wrist, Chu Shiyu didn't feel any pain, but was very cold, starting from his internal organs, Li Xunchuan couldn't help him, he just called over and over again: "Your Majesty..."

"That's enough, Ayu..." Chu Shiyu held the disgusting blood rust in his mouth, his eyes couldn't reach the real place, he couldn't see clearly what was in front of him, and he didn't know what covered his eyes like a layer of frost.

"I said... I can't get out." Chu Shiyu said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, but I still ruined your original dream after all, Ah Yu, you hate me..."

Li Yuchuan shook his head: "I have never hated His Majesty..."

"..." Chu Shiyu smiled, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth into the dragon robe, he didn't know why he was so calm.Obviously, what happened after death, the name after death, everything is bleak.

Who is Emperor Chongwen?

Forget it, he can't control these things now, he just wants to leave this hell-like place quickly.Even if he has something that many people in this world have not had.

"Your Majesty..." Li Yanchuan clenched his lower lip. He moved closer to Chu Shiyu, and heard him say in a hoarse voice: "Yingchou stays in a humble place at night, blowing into the sea to be free [1]..."

Emperor Chongwen smiled lightly, and then said nothing again.

The strong wind suddenly rushed open the closed palace door, and there was a lot of noise from the intruders. Li Xunchuan slowly closed his eyes in the icy cold.

Before Ye Ji arrived at the pilgrimage hall, she met Tian Wuruo and Fu Sisi on the way.Yan Chengxuan arranged most of the people in the imperial city, and now they were fighting together, the piled up corpses blocked the way, Ye Ji frowned slightly, still thinking about how to go forward to help them, she heard a certain eunuch He rushed out like crazy and mixed into the crowd.

He rushed towards the outside without fear of death, and shouted hoarsely: "Your Majesty is dead!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and then continued to immerse themselves in the tearing, turning a deaf ear.Ye Ji's heart sank, she rode her horse up to the eunuch, and pulled off his skirt: "Say it again!"

"Your Majesty..." The eunuch looked very old, he was tearful and said hoarsely, "Your Majesty has passed away..."

Ye Ji let go of him, quickly gripped the horse's belly, and walked alone through the crowd to the temple.From a distance, she saw the person who strode out from the gate of the palace. The wind burned his whole body into flames, forcing him to step back step by step, and no one dared to move forward.

Li Xunchuan clenched evil, his eyes showed emotions that others could not understand, just like this, Li Xunchuan's steps were full of brute force.Ye Ji speeded up.

"It was the Governor who killed His Majesty!" The garrison shouted angrily, "Take him down!"

But he didn't dare to move a step.

"Where is Yan Chengxuan?"

Li Xunchuan asked in a deep voice.

He raised his eyes to look at the dark head, and whimpered viciously in response to the roar of the strong wind. He walked down the high steps without any intention of retreating.When he came out, he closed the palace door, shutting the coldness within a square inch, and faced a more terrifying situation alone.

Evil did not see any blood, just retreated while blocking the shining long sword, Li Xunchuan asked sharply again: "Where is Yan Chengxuan?!"

He is not afraid of these people, he has never been afraid of them.The indifference he had never shown in Gaodu was stimulated by the blood to his original appearance, and then he killed all directions, and his indomitable momentum overwhelmed the fragile barrier of these people.

There was a complete uproar in the palace.Armors and swords scrambled, Wu Xiuting still had strength left, he broke free from the man who bound him, reached out to touch the sword, and ran up to the pilgrimage hall with great effort, but he couldn't use his legs and fell to the ground after a few steps.

Zhushi bypassed the crowd, and Wu Song dragged Zhushi's reins around the imperial city.The Zhushi road was like a broken bamboo, Wu Song was not afraid, he searched for Yan Yingzhen and Xu Zheng everywhere in the swift wind, but he never found them.

Wu Song stroked Zhushi's mane, and was led by Zhushi to run towards the main hall.

Ye Ji didn't get off her horse, but raised Yangyue even higher, and shouted at Li Xunchuan, "Ah Xun!"

Li Xunchuan moved his hands when he heard the sound, and there was no one alive wherever the evil went. Ye Ji approached towards Li Xunchuan, and followed Li Xunchuan's aura to directly kill these people.

Li Xunchuan wiped the blood from his face, and when he heard the palace door was opened, he turned around and looked behind him, Ye Ji got off his horse and came to Li Xunchuan's side.

"Yan Chengxuan!" Li Yanchuan gritted his teeth and said.

"Sister!" Ye Ji's pupils shrank suddenly.

Yan Chengxuan didn't do anything excessive, he just tied Ye Lanyi, put the knife across her neck by the way, and pushed her into the public.

Yan Chengxuan looked down at Li Yuchuan, and smiled softly: "Just now, the governor was obviously almost heartbroken, but now he is so vicious?"

"Yan Chengxuan, you let my sister go!" Ye Ji shouted.

"Miss Lan Concubine..." Yan Chengxuan pressed close to her ear, and said in a voice that Ye Ji could hear, "Your sister seems to care about you very much, do you want to catch up on the old days?"

Ye Lan covered her eyes with the broken hair on her forehead, Ye Ji couldn't see her expression clearly, but she saw tears on her cheeks.Ye Lanyi couldn't stand still. She looked at Ye Ji and said softly, "Ye Ji... let's go..."

"Sister!" Ye Ji said urgently, she wanted to step forward but was grabbed by Li Xunchuan's wrist.

Li Yanchuan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Yan Chengxuan, you'd better think carefully, otherwise I will definitely kill you!"

"Kill me?" Yan Chengxuan smiled and began to sigh. He looked at Li Yuchuan and said, "Let's see if you have the ability, governor?"

With a slight force on his wrist, a bloodstain was left on Ye Lanyi's neck.

"elder sister!"

"Wait!" Li Yanchuan shouted.

"Wait a minute, I haven't seen you for a few days, it seems that Er Shao Yan has forgotten that this person is still there."
