Uncle Nine

Chapter 264 Who is in charge of this world?
"Father?" Dongfang Xu seemed a little at a loss, and looked very flustered. Perhaps it was the shadow of his youth that had been lingering in his heart, so he created such a frightened state of mind.He was afraid of Dongfang Yue, and he was afraid of Dongfang Yue's punching and kicking, which was ruthless.

Dongfang Yue flicked his sleeves and sat angrily, "It's just trash."

Little did he know, Dongfang Xu's eyebrows were lowered, and his whole body's energy was concentrated in his palms.Black mist rose from the palm of his hand, Dongfang Xu suddenly raised his lips and sneered, no matter who it is, whoever blocks his way today will die.

With a palm strike, it hit Dongfang Yue's back.

Before it was too late, Zhao Shuo cast a sideways glance at Dongfang Xu. How could Dongfang Yue be an ordinary person?The vigor of the whole body was quickly shaken away, and before Dongfang Xu approached, he had already bounced back.

Turning around coldly, the sleeves of his clothes fluttered, and he shouted coldly out of thin air, "Dongfang Xu, you are so brave!"

Dongfang Xu flew up, kicked at the beam and pillar, and waved his palms again.

"Evil animal, don't forget that I taught you all your martial arts." Dongfang Yue greeted him with raised palms.

Zhao Shuo frowned, "Be careful, his palms are poisonous."

Dongfang Yue had already received Dongfang Xu's palm, and with a loud noise, Dongfang Xu was shaken out of the window, rolled down the steps, and landed in the courtyard.A mouthful of blood spewed out, but he sneered and looked at Dongfang Yue who was standing at the door of the dormitory, "This palm is specially prepared for the adoptive father."

"You bastard." Dongfang Yue was about to take a step, but poisonous gas emerged from his body.Staring fiercely at the yard, Dongfang Xu tried to get up, "You use snake venom to practice poison palm just to deal with me?"

"That's right." Dongfang Xu wiped the blood from his lips, "I know my foster father never takes me seriously, so I won't guard against my poisonous palm. I endure the pain of being bitten by the snake venom just to Wait until today. Yifu, there is no cure for this poison, you lost."

Dongfang Yue spat out a mouthful of dirty blood, but still stood still, "Little bastard, I really did not raise you for nothing, you are worthy of being my adopted son Dongfang Yue. Have you won me, have you won Prince Rui Zhao Shuo? As long as I give you an order After a few seconds, the sharpshooters outside will turn around and attack you. How sure do you think you are, that you can get out alive?" Blood was dripping from the corner of your mouth, and your eyes were dim, "Now, you still feel Is it easy to usurp the throne?"

"Then there is no need for foster father to worry about it." Dongfang Xu clutched his aching shoulder, Dongfang Yue's inner strength was strong enough to break his shoulder blades.The severe pain caused cold sweat to break out from his forehead, "Father, take care of yourself!"

After the sound fell, Dongfang Xu suddenly flew out of the palace wall and galloped away.

"You did it on purpose, otherwise with your martial arts, Dongfang Xu wouldn't be able to catch your palm at all. You didn't use all your strength, but he ruthlessly killed you. It's really ridiculous." Zhao Shuo looked at it suspiciously. Dongfang Yue held the black mist in his palm, "I never thought that the regent, who kills without batting an eye, would have a day of mercy."

Dongfang Yue sneered, "Sure enough, it's a fox. You can't hide anything from your eyes. After more than ten years of nurturing, even a dog should have feelings. Everyone knows that the regent is cruel, but after all, the regent is a human being. It's not a god or a demon. If you have flesh and blood, you are destined to suffer pain. Now I want to understand a lot, and some people and certain things are really created by me."

Zhao Shuo was unmoved, "Death is death. Now that you have figured it out, can you bring the dead back to life? Or can you change the past?"

"I'll give you an explanation, and I won't embarrass you." Dongfang stepped forward and walked out.Black mist lingered in the palm, and a poison shuttled through the body, entangled with the flesh and blood.

Black blood gushed out from the corner of his lips. It's not that he didn't know that Dongfang Xu's palm was poisonous, but if he didn't take this palm, no one would give up.Taking a palm can save a lot of trouble.

"Dongfang Xu ran away?" Yue Baiyi frowned, "Dongfang Yue let him go on purpose?" During the fight just now, Yue Baiyi took a look.People with martial arts can naturally understand that Dongfang Yue can clearly dodge that palm, but he still received it impartially.

Zhao Shuo returned to the palace, his eyes dark and deep, "Everyone has something they want to protect. He can't keep the world, he can't keep his daughter, so he can only use Dongfang Xu to make up for the debt in his heart. No matter who it is , if he can pay back a little bit, he feels comfortable in his heart. It has nothing to do with the true feelings of good and evil, but just feels comfortable."

Yue Baiyi didn't expect that Zhao Shuo could see Dongfang Yue so clearly.

"Then what is Dongfang Yue going to do now?" Yue Baiyi frowned in confusion.

"Go and plead guilty to the emperor." Zhao Shuo tightly clenched the cup with his knuckle-knuckle hands.

If Dongfang Xu doesn't rebel, how can Dongfang Yue relieve the emperor?Speaking of it, it can be regarded as well-intentioned. Although it is more than ten years late, there is hope anyway.It's better to work hard than to do nothing.

If you fight for it, you may still have your life, but if you let it go, you will surely die.

The truth was exactly as Zhao Shuo expected, Dongfang Yue dragged his exhausted body and went to Qianning Palace in person to release Emperor Zhao Lu from the confinement.

Kneeling in front of Zhao Lu, Dongfang Yue lowered his eyes and bowed his head. Because he was poisoned, his complexion was frighteningly livid and his lips were purple. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

"Prince Regent?" Zhao Lu was obviously also stunned. Dongfang Yue was insane that day, but now he is sober.And it doesn't look right, as if poisoned, "What's wrong with the Regent?"

"The old minister has done it to himself, and is no different from others." Dongfang Yue spread out his palm slightly, "Dongfang Xu's palm is poisonous, and when the old minister was fighting with him, he accidentally got poisoned. I'm afraid his life will not be long, after all, doom is inevitable. "

Zhao Lu glanced at Shunzi, and Shunzi quickly stepped forward to help Dongfang Yue, "The Regent, get up quickly, this damned Dongfang Xu is really rebellious, even his adoptive father will not be spared."

"Shunzi, go get the imperial doctor, hurry up!" Zhao Lu said.

"Yes!" Shunzi ran out quickly.

Dongfang Yue smiled wryly, his body trembling slightly, "Your Majesty, now that King Mao is arrogant outside the palace, it's better to use tactics. Since the Emperor has already summoned an imperial doctor for the old minister, I wonder if it is possible to wrong the Emperor and pretend—"

Zhao Lu frowned, staring at Dongfang Yue thoughtfully, "The regent means—"

"If the emperor dies, the world will be in chaos. If the emperor dies in the hands of Dongfang Xu, then King Mao will be able to break into the palace even more unscrupulously. The minister's sharpshooter army is already ready and can obey the emperor's orders at any time." Dongfang Yue only Feeling that the vision is becoming more and more blurred, "What is the emperor's opinion?"

When the sound fell, Dongfang Yue fell headlong to the ground.

"Regent? Dongfangyue? Dongfangyue!" Zhao Lu shouted.

It can be seen that Dongfang Yue was really poisoned.

It is indeed because of his strong internal energy that he can last until now.

The imperial doctor came in a hurry, and the people outside didn't know what happened to Qianning Palace, they only knew that the imperial doctor was desperately rushing inside, and those who didn't know what happened inside thought that something happened to the emperor.

"Then?" Zhao Lu asked.

The imperial doctor saluted, "Show the emperor, the regent has been poisoned, if he hadn't used his inner strength to protect his heart, the poison has already attacked the heart at this moment, and there is no way to recover."

"The regent can't die, what's going on now?" Zhao Lu left the side hall slowly with a dark face.

The imperial doctor followed closely, "Now, I have used all my life's knowledge to control the poison of the regent king, but the poison will not be cleared for a while. Although the regent king has deep internal strength, after all, he is getting older. , sooner or later, the body will not be able to bear it. If this continues, I can't predict what will happen."

Zhao Lu paused, "I won't die in a while, right?"

"That's not going to happen." The imperial doctor bowed his head.

"That's good." Zhao Lu frowned, "Spread the news that I was poisoned and died, understand?"

The imperial doctor plopped on his knees, "I dare not!"

"I told you to dare, you have to dare." Zhao Lu said with cold eyes, "You must know it in the whole palace."

"Yes!" The imperial doctor got up and retreated dripping with sweat.

Shunzi stepped forward, "Your Majesty? Since the Regent has fought against Dongfang Xu, then Dongfang Xu—doesn't know where he is now?"

"Tell Guo Sheng to disperse the hidden guards. If you meet Dongfang Xu, don't stop him. If he wants to escape, just let him go. If he leaves the palace, teach others to follow. Remember not to allow him to get close to King Mao's camp, otherwise he will be killed without mercy. .” Zhao Lu stood with his hands behind his back.

Shun Zi was stunned, "What does the emperor mean, let Dongfang Xu go?"

"Just do it, I don't want to have another dispute with Dongfang Yue for the time being. The King Mao's army has to let the Shenjian Army come forward. Understand?" Zhao Lu gave Shunzi a cold look.

Shunzi nodded, "I understand!"

"By the way, go to the Empress Dowager's place to report a funeral." Zhao Lu lowered his eyes.

Shunzi saluted and stepped back hastily.

Not far away, Liang Yiru stood peacefully, and when he saw Zhao Lu, he quickly bowed and saluted, "See the emperor."

"Where did you go?" Zhao Lu asked with a smile.

Liang Yiru sighed softly, "I had a conversation with Dongfang Xu before."

"Oh, what do you think?" Zhao Lu walked slowly in the corridor.

"Unbearable to be reused, there is no doubt that you will lose." Liang Yiru only had eight words.

Hearing this, Zhao Lulang laughed twice, and glanced at Liang Yiru, "As expected of my second brother, he really knows people with his eyes. This Dongfang Xu is more than ruthless and lacks in strategy, even Dongfang Yue can't look down on him, let alone you."

"It's just a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death. It's hard to become a big weapon." Liang Yiru smiled lowly.

"That's true." Zhao Lu smiled, "However, being greedy for life and fearing death naturally has the benefits of being greedy for life and fearing death. You can be a cruel official, not a virtuous minister. Despicable people have their own despicable skills, and sometimes they are extremely useful. He stared at Liang Yiru meaningfully, "For example, he can kill people with a knife. Second brother, what do you think?"

Liang Yiru smiled nonchalantly, "That's true, but it depends on the knife, whether you are willing to kill people. Otherwise, there is nothing to borrow."

After the sound fell, Zhao Lu nodded in satisfaction, "This statement is true, my second brother can always give me a satisfactory answer."

Stepping into the bedroom, Zhao Lu sat down with a flick of his sleeves, "Sit down and talk to me."

Liang Yiru didn't try to shirk, and sat down as he said.Now I can still sit and talk, maybe after this time, only the monarch and his ministers are different, and they have their own plans.It doesn't matter if you sigh or sigh, it's just a fact.

"Before dark, the news that I was poisoned will spread out soon." Zhao Lu glanced at Liang Yiru, "Maybe it will implicate you."

Liang Yiru nodded, "I am willing to devote myself to the emperor until I die."

"Very good." Zhao Lu poured a glass of water slowly, and pushed it to Liang Yiru, "When things are done, I will definitely reward you a lot."

Liang Yiru got up and paid homage, "Your Majesty is so kind, I will live up to your majesty's great trust and swear to be loyal to the Emperor." The moment he knelt down at Zhao Lu's feet, Liang Yiru already understood that he and Zhao Lu could no longer call each other like brothers and sisters like before. .Even if there is still affection, the king will be the king after all, and the minister will be the minister after all.The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

With an order, Guo Sheng sent Liang Yiru to death row.

This seemed to create an illusion to the outside world, that is, the emperor was dead and was poisoned to death by Liang Yiru.I think it is also Dongfang Xu's credit. After all, the emperor didn't kill Dongfang Xu, and no one in the Magic Archer knows that Dongfang Xu has already fled.

"I have wronged Young Master Liang." Guo Sheng stood outside the prison.

Liang Yiru smiled, "There is no other way to follow the power in a hurry. The emperor is wise, as a subject, he should do his best."

Guo Sheng cupped his fists and left.

In the cold death cell, it was empty.Liang Yiru looked around, but he was thinking about what Xia Yu was thinking that day in the fourth prison.This girl is kind-hearted, although she usually likes to mess around, she never does anything that hurts others.Even if it is cheating and abducting, it is also true to keep in mind that stealing has its own way.

"Ayu." He murmured to himself, dressed in prison clothes, sitting on the wooden bed in a sense of loss, staring straight ahead.In my mind, it was all about Xia Yu.The traces of the past, the laughter and cursing of each other.After thinking about it, he laughed out loud.

No wonder she stayed in the prison for so long, it turns out that this is the pure land on earth.

It is so quiet that people have no distractions, have enough personal time, think about what they should think about, and people who can't be forgotten.

At that time, Xia Yu, did he ever think about him?

Low eyebrow wry smile, probably not!

He took out the letter from his sleeve, the letter he carried with him.I heard from people in the house that Xia Yu visited after he left and saw the coffin he prepared, so he must know that he went to Daizhou to investigate the Huamanlou incident that day, and he was determined to die.So, she left such a letter.

She can't write, and she can't read. She only draws hands clasping left and right on the pale white paper.From the very beginning, she regarded him as a brother and had nothing else to think about.

"I never wanted to be your brother, I never wanted to." Liang Yiru stared at the painting in his hand, "If I were a general, I would only want to enter your heart if I were to attack cities and villages. You are prosperous in this life. Unfortunately, there is no chance. I can’t do it for you. Even if I write, someone has already painted the prosperity for you. If there is an afterlife, would you be willing to have a chance with me? I really—”

The moment she raised her head, tears rolled down from her eyes, slowly rolled down her cheeks, and dripped onto the drawing paper, blurring countless ink colors.

Carefully put away the drawing paper, put it close to his heart, and from now on, there will be no news of her again.Xia Yu is such an intelligent woman, since she knows his thoughts, she will never give him a chance to pester her again.Even though she knew that he would not pester her, she would never give it another chance.

Years have passed, and this life will last forever.

From then on, he was his Young Master Liang, and she lived her life in the rivers and lakes.

With drooping eyes, besides the love and hatred of this life, there is also the prosperity of the prosperous age.

The news of the emperor's sudden death was spread out of the palace walls artificially, and there were footsteps in King Mao's camp.

Zhao Yu frowned and sat in the tent, "What, sudden death?"

Sun Qi nodded, "This is how the spies reported it. They said it was a sudden death, but the imperial doctor diagnosed it as poisoning. Moreover, Liang Yiru was also sent to death row. The queen mother is now in the emperor's palace. It is conceivable that this matter True."

"It looks like Dongfang Xu did it. It's just that Liang Yiru, why would he obey?" Zhao Yu frowned.

Sun Qi said with a smile, "Your Majesty forgot, Liang Yiru and others boasted of their friendship, so Dongfang Xu must have caught him. Didn't the Shen family just die a Minister of the Ministry of Justice? But the Minister of the Ministry of Justice does not have a younger sister Is it? When Liang Yiru was in trouble that day, he couldn't do without the help of this younger sister."

"That's right, sister Shen Hao's body was not found." Only then did Zhao Yu remember.

"That's fine, save worry and trouble, let Dongfang Xu finish it all by himself." Sun Qi raised his eyebrows coldly, "My lord, since the emperor is dead, it means that Dongfang Xu has become a sinner through the ages. There is no need to charge us with this crime." carrying it."

Zhao Yu looked up at the cloudy sky, "Unexpectedly, you don't have to wait until dark to have such a good show. The night is long and dreamy, and this king doesn't like incidents." Looking at Ye Guangyao who was wearing a battle armor, Zhao Yu smiled Laughing, "General Ye, now is the time for revenge. Zhao Shuo is in Qingwu Palace. As long as we break into the palace, Zhao Shuo's life will be at your disposal."

Ye Guangyao frowned, and clenched the cold sword in his hand, "Zhao Shuo!"

"Rectify immediately, and enter the palace immediately." Zhao Yu narrowed his dangerous eyes, "This time, this king will solve everyone at once. This Great Yan Dynasty is mine."

As soon as the order was given, the crowd became excited in an instant.

A large number of troops broke into the palace and fought fiercely with the Archers.The guards also joined in, the palace was raging with flames, and fighting continued outside the palace.With the bow and crossbow of the Shenzhou Army in hand, all arrows are fired.Mao Wang's army came crushed by the wheel of the battle, the eyes were desolate, and there were sergeants who died tragically everywhere.

The Empress Dowager Bao Yao was waiting in the Qianning Palace, she was just a pawn, the emperor asked her to come here just to increase King Mao's trust in the emperor's sudden death.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, King Mao's army has breached the west gate, and seeing that the east gate is about to fail." Wu En came back in a hurry.But the emperor was still here, and no one dared to scream in panic, so they stood aside tremblingly and waited.

"What are you panicking about?" Zhao Lu sneered, "Follow me to the Golden Luan Hall and wait! I want to see how capable my uncle is, and whether he can really drag me off this red golden dragon chair."

After speaking, Zhao Lu walked out.

"The Empress Dowager?" Fang Ying stepped forward to help the Empress Dowager Bao Yao.

The Empress Dowager Bao Yao sighed softly, "Let's go and have a look." If something happened to the emperor, she, the empress dowager, would be able to do it.But just now, the appearance of the emperor clearly has a plan in mind, and he doesn't have the slightest appearance of a subjugated king.

Was it a bluff, or was it well prepared?

God knows!
Empress Dowager Bao Yao paused, "Is there no movement at Qingwu Palace?"

Fang Ying shook her head, "Empress Dowager, Prince Rui may not be able to protect himself now."

"You are wrong." The Empress Dowager Bao Yao suddenly smiled, "Who is Zhao Shuo, how can he be slaughtered. He can create the current emperor, so he can control everything. It is said that heroes come out of troubled times, but real heroes He can shape the situation. Zhao Shuo is such a person."

After fighting for so many years, how could she not know Zhao Shuo's nature?
If you don't move, you must have a big plan.

In the empty golden palace, there are no civil and military officials adoring the king, only jade pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes.Dressed in a dragon robe, stepping on the sapphire stone steps, he walked up to his golden palace.

Zhao Lu turned around and looked at the palace surrounded by flames and gunpowder. His eyes were broken, and the sound of fighting resounded throughout the world.

"Mother, is the palace change 16 years ago as tragic as it is today?" Zhao Lu asked, "I almost don't remember it."

"Yes." The Empress Dowager Bao Yao stood beside Zhao Lu, and when she looked back, she was so unbearable, "At that time, you were still young, and the queen mother protected you in the palace, so naturally you didn't see it. I have lived through such a tragic scene. The flames of war, fighting for the ninety-five positions. But there is only one emperor, and there is only one king in the world. The queen mother desperately let you sit on the throne and become the king of the world. I have never regretted it Pass!"

At the end, the Empress Dowager Bao Yao spoke in a dark tone, lowering her eyes and sighing softly.

When I was young, no matter what I did, I didn't care about the consequences, and only wanted to achieve my goals.But when I got older, I suddenly realized that I had done so many mistakes and I was sorry to so many people.

If you feel ashamed, even if you spend all the wealth and glory in the world, you can't make up for it.

The past can only pass, never go back.

Walking up the Yuqiao and sitting on his dragon chair, Zhao Lu straightened his expression, just waiting for the traitors to come in.Empress Dowager Bao Yao sat aside, turned her head to look at her son, and suddenly felt that everything had changed.

Zhao Lu is no longer that timid and cowardly puppet king, since when has he been quietly growing up?
Bao Yao suddenly felt that she couldn't understand the people around her more and more, especially Zhao Lu, and couldn't figure it out.It has to be said that it is the credit of Zhao Shuo.The emperor became indifferent and decisive, is it good or bad?
The gate of the palace was quickly breached, and King Mao's army drove straight in.

There was a fierce battle with the sharpshooter and the guards in the narrow palace road, fighting naked and blood staining the palace wall.

From ancient times to the present, every palace change will lead to wanton slaughter and inevitable death.

Finally, Guo Sheng retreated into the Golden Palace covered in blood, his hands trembling even after killing him.In front of Hengjian, his icy eyes watched a large number of guards pouring into the Golden Palace. Seeing the guards surrounding him inside and out, Guo Sheng yelled, "Your Majesty, there are traitors among the guards."

"Wrong, these are not traitors. Tomorrow's history books are meticulously written, and they are all teachers of justice." Mao Wang Zhao Yu walked in from behind the crowd.

The night was as dark as ink, and heavy snow fell, as if it wanted to cover up all the blood and ugliness.

Shaking the snowflakes off his shoulders, Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Lu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and the Queen Mother Bao Yao with a smile, "Actually, I also guessed that the emperor put it on as a cover, and the purpose was to let the Archers die with me. It's a pity , the emperor seems to have exalted the strength of the Divine Archer Army. No matter how good the Divine Archer Army is, they could not arrive in full force, and it would be too presumptuous for such a small force to compete against this king's army."

Zhao Lu was neither humble nor overbearing, neither angry nor sad, "Didn't the emperor say he came to serve the king? Now that I am here, I am safe, and the emperor can step down."

Zhao Yu laughed ironically, and the laughter was so piercing, "Zhen? Do you still think you are the emperor? Now the entire palace is under my control, and everyone's life and death are up to me, including you! Zhao Lu!"

"Presumptuous!" Zhao Lu scolded coldly, "Is the emperor trying to usurp the throne?"

"The facts are in front of you, Zhao Lu, why are you still putting on airs? Do you really think you are still the emperor? I might as well tell you that from today onwards, you are nothing. You are just my prisoner. I should inherit it." Zhao Yu's eyes were tearing apart.
