Endgame (below)(1/2)
The little prince was frightened in the chaos of war and could not find Bei at all, so he could only hold Chang Geng's hand tightly.
The two armies were in chaos, and all civil and military officials fled in scattered. The emperor was scattered on the ground in a mess. When the man dispersed, his targets were concentrated. The assassins who had just deliberately messed up the water rushed towards Chang Geng and the prince.
Before coming, Lord Fang told him that he was "Be sure to kill King Yan. If you have the chance, don't let the prince go."
When the assassins saw that the two targets were gathered together, they were just making a special trip to make it convenient for them!
An arrow flew over the prince's head. The prince was dragged by Chang Geng like a puppy, and he couldn't even scream. He was so scared that he sobbed silently.
Suddenly, someone reached out to wipe away the tears on his face. The prince saw through his hazy eyes that the Fourth Emperor uncle wiped his tears, and after raising his hand, he showed a black iron wrist buckle. The silk in the sleeve that popped out instantly broke open a wrist. The King of Yan snatched the assassin's knife, and the hilt of the knife turned, and the "dingdang" broke out a path in one go.
"When I was as old as the prince, I was besieged by a group of hungry wolves outside the Peking University Pass." Chang Geng said in a very steady voice, "At that time, there was no one around, and I only had a knife for children in the countryside to play with - the one who chased me was not ordinary wild wolves, but barbarians raised them by their own methods, specially used to kill people. They were very big and taller than me when they stood up."
King Yan has always been known for his outstanding appearance. Both the enemies and friends have to admit this. Unlike most noble sons of the noble families who have been in the capital since childhood, he has little glitz, but he is also different from poor scholars or soldiers with military backgrounds. He has no coldness or bandit spirit. He looks very quiet, but he is not as calm as the ancient Buddha of Master Mingran. He is like a stone statue of a fierce god placing into a temple - it is awe-intimidating and full of silence. Many people secretly learn from King Yan's calm and elegant accent, and it is difficult for others to associate him with the hungry wolf pack outside the frontier no matter what.
The little prince was stunned.
At this time, two assassins rushed over one after another, one slashed at the little prince in Chang Geng's hand, intending to force him to retreat, and the other sealed his retreat from behind.
Chang Geng sneered softly.
How could a child who grew up playing swords with the iron puppet of the Hou Mansion beside him who had been young and would retreat in front of such an opponent?
Chang Geng crossed the sword in the assassin's hand. The opponent was shocked and could not withdraw the sword. The sharp blade in his hand suddenly collapsed. He blocked his chest with both hands, and was "breaked with one knife" by the King of Yan.
Then Chang Geng kept flying three steps forward, and used the power of turning around to swing out the blade. He scared the pursuer to take two steps back and hit the tip of a long spear that rushed up to the Imperial Gun.
The little prince had never even seen killing chickens, let alone killing people? He was frightened immediately and closed his eyes tightly. But even so, he was still furious by the bloody smell coming to his face and wanted to vomit, and shouted in a slight voice: "The Fourth Emperor..."
"There is nothing to be afraid of." Chang Geng said lightly, "People who are really capable are either on the front line or are already wrapped in corpses. The remaining group of cowards and do not have the ability to kill the enemy can only scare the children - are you still a child?"
The prince thought aggrievedly: "I am."
Chang Geng seemed to know what he was thinking, and the corners of his mouth bent slightly.
"It's still a child," he thought, "it's not going to be soon."
At this moment, the Imperial Guard who was rushing towards him with a gun shouted: "Prince! Your Highness the Crown Prince! Come here!"
The little prince instinctively wanted to follow him, but Chang Geng pulled the back shirt with a scabbard and took it back.
The prince's staggering steps had not yet stood firm, and his face was splattered with blood. The man who was shouting was split into two in a blink of an eye, and a heavy army rushed out from somewhere-
At this time, Li Feng, who was held hostage, finally found that the people escorted him were not going to the palace, but running towards a place where no one was. He jumped hard in his heart, and an incredible guess arose, and immediately turned his head and asked, "What's going on? Fang Qing, where do you want to take me?"
Fang Qin kept walking, neither kneeling nor bowing, and said loudly: "I will report to Your Majesty, I will submit a copy."
Li Feng couldn't believe it: "What did you say? Stop! I said let you stop!"
No one paid attention to him, and the two fake guards set up the emperor's dragon body one left and one right, forcibly taking him away.
"I want to participate in the current dynasty Prince Yan Li Min," Fang Qinwu said word by word, "He colluded with unscrupulous merchants, and sold official positions and titles to the point of shamelessness. This was a serious crime. He was born as a son and had no filial piety towards the former emperor. Instead, in order to win over the morale of the army, he often stayed overnight in the marquis's mansion. After inheriting the title, he still called him "adopted father". This was a serious crime of hiding evil intentions and no father or king..."
If Li Feng didn't understand what was going on, he might have been stunned by his brain. He was shocked and immediately shouted: "Fang Qin, what are you going to do!"
Fang Qin said loudly: "Your Majesty, now we have set up many ambushings, just waiting for the rebellious minister to be executed. Although I am incompetent, I am willing to imitate my ancestors. If I am treacherous ministers cannot control them, I will swear to clear the king's side with death!"
Before he finished speaking, a group of followers immediately agreed, "It is like a treacherous minister who is unable to control me, I swear to clear the king's side with death!"
Li Feng was dumbfounded. When he looked around, he saw strange faces everywhere. The pseudo-immunist soldiers wearing armor surrounded him. The familiar faces in the hall were now more and more strange. They all seemed to be ghosts wearing human skins, with green faces and fangs ready to rush towards him.
This is the monarch and his subjects.
Was this the same thing when Emperor Wu was in power?
Is this the same thing when the Yuan and the late emperors were in power?
Li Feng knew that he might not be as good as Emperor Wu's life of expanding territory. Is it even the father who he had been secretly dissatisfied in his heart?
He could not accept this anyway.
But it seems that it is true that it cannot be accepted, because when Yuan and the late emperor were in power, there were no foreign enemies siege the capital, and there were no waves of rebels thinking about pulling him off the throne of the Golden Luan.
At this moment, Li Feng didn't have time to have too much anger or fear, and he felt a big slap slapped him in the sky. It had been more than 3,000 days and nights since he succeeded to the throne. He had never had a rest overnight and ran around day and night. Now it seems that it is all in vain. Instead, it is not as good as the coward of the late emperor who was sleeping in the pile of women all day long and sad about spring and autumn.
He watched his self-esteem crack inch and disappear in front of the cold-looking rebels.
"Okay..." Li Feng was trembling all over, "You are so... so brave!"
Fang Qin lowered his head and did not go to contact him. At this point, Fang Qin knew that he was no longer able to pretend to be loyal ministers and good generals: "The emperor forgives his crimes, but Li Min covers the sky with one hand, and ignores his ancestors, and he is worried about the country. He has no other way. He has made such a bad decision. He deserves to die. However, now the thief is rampant and his party forces are spread throughout the territory. When the Yan King dies, these people will have to make a rebellion. Please make a decision early and clean up and investigate thoroughly."
Li Feng gritted his teeth and said, "You still threaten me?"
Fang Qin knelt on the ground with a slight look on his face and said, "I dare not. I know that the emperor was frightened and was uneasy. I have already prepared the decree and asked Your Majesty to take a look."
After saying that, someone next to him immediately held an imperial edict in both hands. Sure enough, he analyzed it in detail, and everything was covered, and only the jade seal was stamped.
Li Feng shook away the two men who were holding him, suddenly stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the collar of the man holding the imperial edict, and then shoved him hard-
In a rage, Li Feng completely forgot his lame leg that had not been able to recover. He didn't stand firmly and the person he pushed did not move at all. He fell to the side first.
Under the bright world, there was a circle of Daliang people around him, but no one helped him. The real family and the fake imperial guards watched the emperor fall into an angry butt, and he was indifferent with contempt.
At this moment, a man who looked like an imperial guard ran over, probably a fake guy. This man looked at Li Feng first, then turned to Fang Qin and said, "Sir, the traitor has been killed!"
Li Feng's legs were completely lost. He sat on the ground with ridiculous movements, and a few words burst out from his teeth: "Where is the prince?"
The fake guard first glanced at Fang Qin, and after getting approval, he said to Li Feng carefully: "The prince... the prince was attacked by the assassin... uh, please forgive me first."
Li Feng's mind buzzed and exploded.
His chest felt cold. When he came to his senses, a mouthful of blood was already coughing out. Li Feng sat on the ground, watching the sticky and black blood flow down his fingertips, and thought in a daze: "Why am I so embarrassed?"
Fang Qin's hesitant look flashed, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to help Li Feng, but he still didn't touch him. He stretched out half of his hand and shrank back. The hesitation and unbearable tide on his face faded away. He said coldly: "The emperor is not the only prince, even if the third prince is still young, and his highness is diligent and studious, smart and kind. Please take care of the country and the country, and put the important things in front of him first!"
After saying that, he grabbed the "Imperial Imperial" held by his subordinates with one hand and entrusted it to Li Feng: "Please take a look!"
Li Feng waved his hand and beat the "fake imperial edict" in Fang Qin's hand to the side: "You are dreaming!"
Fang Qin silently wiped his face, who was being sucked by the fake imperial edict, kept kneeling, leaned forward slightly, sighed lightly, and whispered in a very gentle tone: "Your Majesty, your dragon body is in our hands, even if there are hundreds of thousands outside... Even if Beidaying comes, no one dares to move. You can give this imperial edict today, and you can give it even if you don't give it - what's wrong with the eldest son of the emperor? I heard that he is gentle and restrained and has a royal style, and is different from the wild spy of Yan Wang, who has unknown origin. This is the demeanor that my Daliang royal family should have. Don't you think?"
Li Feng's chest was so painful that he felt like he fell into an ice cave, and his heart was cold. He took a few breaths and sneered: "Then what? My dear friends will definitely not wait for me to settle the score. Then what are you going to do to put me in? House arrest? Or kill me directly? The queen is delicate and ignorant, the eldest prince's mother's family is full of death, helpless, and she is born a good material to be a puppet... It turns out that she has a good plan!"
Fang Qin shook his head without comment: "Otherwise, the emperor? The prince was unfortunately killed, and the traitor Li Min was already killed... Oh, of course, if you are willing, you can issue an edict to pass the throne on the third prince. But the third prince is too young and has not even entered school yet. Wouldn't you be kidding your ancestors like this?"
There may be thousands of ethics and rituals on a person, which seems to be tied up as solid as a solid person, but in fact it is not that strong. As long as you put your shame down, you will step beyond the line. In the future, you will be shameless and have no more taboos.
At least Fang Qin himself did not expect that one day he would say such words without changing his expression.
Just as he was slightly distracted, the ground suddenly trembled, and everyone became nervous for a moment - this kind of neat footsteps was obviously only available with a well-trained team. Judging from the tremor, there were at least heavy armor among them!
Could it be Beidaying?
Fang Qin's heart skipped a beat. They didn't have this extraneous line in their plan, so it might have changed! He made a quick decision and waved his hand, and several minions rushed to hold Li Feng: "I'm sorry, the emperor has escorted us all the way."
Several fake guards surrounded Li Feng from front to back and left to back, and retreated in the other direction with him. Unexpectedly, just after turning a corner, the person who opened the way suddenly stopped - there was a team of guards waiting for a long time in front!
How did they get out?
No...it's nothing to get out. Although it's a little faster than expected, once the palace hears the wind, the guards will immediately come out, which is really easy to suppress the situation.
The question is how did they find them?
Fang Qin was stunned for a moment, turned around, glanced around, and found that the spy who had just run to repay "The King of Yan and the Prince are both dead" was gone.
There are traitors!
The footsteps behind them gradually approached. When they looked again, it turned out that what forced them to panic was not heavy armor at all, but just a bunch of iron golems pulled out from someone's house!
Fang Qin broke out in a cold sweat and suddenly came to his senses, knowing that they were in someone else's trap.
However, since things were over, he could not allow him to think carefully. He grabbed Li Feng, pressed his sword against the emperor's fragile dragon neck, and shouted: "Who dares to move!"
The emperor was a precious item, and no one wanted to be a reputation as an indirect regicide, and the imperial guards stopped for a moment.
Fang Qin never dreamed that he would be so rebellious. He was stunned for a moment. His throat was dry and he gasped violently for a few times. Before he could come up with any countermeasures from the muddy mind, the messy imperial guards finally arrived half a beat. At the same time, a panic of eagles came from outside the Nine Gate. It was the eagle from Beidaying who was requesting to pass the air-banning network!
With a "thump" sound beside him, a gangster was so scared that he knelt down.
Fang Qin bit his teeth hard and said to Emperor Longan: "Please order them to withdraw."
Li Feng was embarrassed and sneered: "Dream."
At this moment, a feather arrow suddenly shot from behind, just brushing against Fang Qin's shoulder. Although it did not cause any substantial damage, the scorching pain broke the string in Fang Qin's mind in the moment when the skin was blooming.
The delicate balance was broken.
Li Feng saw the opportunity and pushed him hard, and was about to rush out immediately.
However, the lame leg held him back again. As soon as Li Feng took a step, his feet became soft and he staggered out uncontrollably. At the same time, Fang Qin was shocked and raised his sword and chased him, instinctively sending the sword in his hand forward-
Li Feng twitched violently, and thrust like a dying fish. Fang Qin's face was pale, and subconsciously let go of his hand holding the sword, took three steps in a row, and stared at the sword that Li Feng was stuck behind him as if he saw a ghost.
The guards who were originally afraid of being attacked were in trouble.
Suddenly, Li Feng heard a childish voice crying a little torn through countless traitors and pierced into his ears. He raised his head with difficulty and saw the little prince running towards him while calling "Father". Not far behind him, King Yan - his fourth brother, stood there with a lot of hair. When facing his gaze, King Yan stopped, put his hands behind his back, and looked back at the embarrassing emperor with his unique quiet gaze.
The imperial guards and the imperial guards rushed up in a mess and quickly dealt with the stupid traitors. Li Feng was carried out. The leader of the imperial guards who rushed over shouted and ran to invite the imperial physician, but they all knew it well, so it would be useless to ask for it.
The little prince lay on him and cried at a loss.
Li Feng really wanted to touch his delicate little son, but before he could gather strength, a hand fell on the prince's shoulder. King Yan stood aside silently, comfortingly gently stroked the prince's shoulder and neck. Everyone seemed to be a pair of sad and warm uncles and nephews, only Li Feng felt that he understood the threat implicitly in King Yan's gestures.
Li Feng stared at Yan Wang's calm eyes, remembering the resentful words of his mother who died early many years ago - those barbarians are monsters, and the small wild species born are also ominous things that harm the country and the people.
To be continued...
