The murderer was none other than Lu Fan, the commander of Zuojinwu Guard.

He stood on the tower, looked at Lin Datong and everyone below, and shouted: "Commander Lin, the palace is now under the control of King Gaoyang. He is a civilized and military man with great ambitions and is a member of the royal family. He was originally a member of the royal family twenty years ago.

, he should ascend the throne. Now he is just following God's will and regaining the great treasure. Isn't it better than that His Majesty who only knows how to cultivate immortals and ask questions all day long and ignores the government affairs?"

Lin Datong said angrily: "Lu Fan, you deceived the emperor and ignored your superiors. Your majesty and the court entrusted so many people to you, but you did this kind of thing. Ask yourself, how is this kind of behavior different from that of an animal?"

Lu Fan laughed loudly, "When the emperor ascended the throne, the methods he used were not clever. He only allowed the state officials to set fires but not the people to light lamps?"

Lin Datong: "As the Forbidden Army, we maintain the order of the court, the safety of the palace, and the safety of His Majesty, instead of using the Forbidden Army as a tool to satisfy our own selfish desires."

Lu Fandao: "Commander Lin and all my colleagues downstairs, for the sake of being brothers, I would like to advise you: Go back and have a good sleep. When the sun comes up and everything has settled, your Majesty's surname will still be Zhu."

, it’s just a different person, do whatever you want, I’ll just pretend that what happened today never happened.”

Lin Datong: "Evil! Damn words!"

Lu Fandao: "Commander Lin, don't be stubborn. You know the defense of the palace better than I do. Let alone two thousand of you, even if you come with thirty-five thousand, we can still defend it."

He waved his hand, and hundreds of people lined up their bows and arrows at the crenellations of the city tower, aiming at everyone.

The rebels were in high positions and had strong security, as well as archers. As long as Lu Fan gave the order, after several rounds of arrow rain, not a few people would be able to survive.

This is what worries Lin Datong.

So he has been trying to reason and use his prestige in the Forbidden Army to persuade those people not to make mistakes with him. "Brothers upstairs, listen, by the order of the emperor, whoever kills Lu Fan tonight will be promoted to Zuojinwu Guard

General, whoever opens the city gate will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver, and whoever enters the palace to serve the king will be promoted to the third rank!"

Lu Fan said: "It's useless. These are the brothers I personally brought out. How can they be deceived by you? I'll count to three. If Commander Lin doesn't retreat, we'll have to fight each other!" He immediately gave the order, "Archers,

Prepare!"

The long bow is like the moon.

Lu Fan said: "One!"

Zhao Xing said to Lin Datong, "General Lin, sometimes it's useless to be reasonable."

"So what works?"

Zhao Xingdao: "The fist and the knife in the hand are more convincing!"

Lu Fan said: "Two!"

Before Lu Fan could say anything for the third time, Zhao Xing jumped into the air. The tower over three feet high seemed to him like walking on flat ground. One moment, it was not far downstairs. The next moment, it was already above Lu Fan.

Lu Fan pointed at Zhao Xing and was about to order the arrow to be fired, but the next moment, a cold light flashed, and he felt his whole head flying up, and getting further and further away from the standing body.

When a person falls to the ground, his head falls to the ground.

The person who landed was Zhao Xing.

The one whose head fell to the ground was Lu Fan.

Zhao Xingna cut off Lu Fan's head with a volley of his sword, flew more than ten feet high, and fell heavily to the ground.

Not only the people upstairs, but also Lin Datong and the Imperial Guards were deeply shocked by this scene.

A three-foot-tall tower.

Lu Fan, who was heavily guarded by troops, was just gone?

The impact of this sword directly exceeded their knowledge of martial arts.

When several of Lu Fan's soldiers saw their boss being killed, they instinctively wanted to avenge him and surrounded Zhao Xing.

On Zhao Xing's long sword, a green light suddenly appeared, and when the sword was struck out, a rumble was heard.

The entire Donghua Gate tower was cut in half and collapsed.

Everyone was stunned and motionless, thinking to themselves, is this really human?

Zhao Xingdao: "If you want to be rich and prosperous, you have to ask the knife in my hand whether I agree or not!"

After Lu Fan died, no one dared to give orders, and none of them dared to shoot arrows, and they were even less sure that they could block Zhao Xing's shocking sword.

Zhao Xingdao: "Put down your weapons, go back, take a nap, wait until daybreak and everything settles, just pretend that nothing happened."

Wow!

Several people put down their weapons.

They believed that if they really dared to resist, Zhao Xing's knife would kill everyone present!

With the leader in charge, the rest of the rebels also laid down their weapons.

With a creak, the Donghua Gate opened.

Upon seeing this, Lin Datong ordered the execution team to join the city defense and arrest all Zuo Jinwu's guards who had unloaded their equipment.

King Qin's troops finally gained control of the city gate.

Now is just the first step, the real difficulty is yet to come.

The emperor and the prince are hiding in the underground palace, their life or death uncertain.

The Queen Mother, the Queen is still in the hands of King Gaoyang, and her life or death is unknown.

Xinglian brought Lu Fan's personal guards to Lin Datong, "Sir, how should we deal with these people?"

"Kill them all."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than twenty people's heads fell to the ground.

After controlling the Donghua Gate, there are still many Lu Fan's people in the palace. The current plan is to strike while the iron is hot and work hard to capture those people and welcome the Holy Emperor out of the underground palace.

Lin Datong said, "Captain Zhao, I have to trouble you to take action."

Zhao Xingdao: "Please also ask Commander Lin to select thirty martial arts masters. I will come up with a solution from the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

There are many masters recruited from the Jianghu in the Forbidden Army. After the Jianghu New Deal, the major yamen of the imperial court established a talent transfer mechanism with the various sects in the Jianghu. Young disciples from various sects are regularly transported to the capital every year. Among them, the Forbidden Army also

Recruited a lot of people.

Lin Datong selected thirty people to form a rescue suicide squad with Zhao Xing, and headed towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The Meridian Gate had long been closed. Zhao Xing and others directly used Qinggong to eliminate the rebels guarding the Meridian Gate and arrived outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Li Juefei blocked their way with one man and one sword.

…

Song Jingang came to the side hall.

The situation in the entire side hall suddenly changed.

Xue Yingxiong trembled and shrank back, as if he was a little afraid of Song Jingang.

Prince Zhu Yan has never met Song Jingang, but after this person came in, the strong aura exuded from his body also made him feel a sense of oppression. This person's identity is not simple!

The Ming Emperor's performance was the most unexpected.

Although they had not seen each other for more than twenty years, the emperor recognized Song Jingang at a glance. He turned his head slightly, looking a little panicked.

This made Zhu Yan very curious.

Even under the threat of King Gaoyang, His Majesty showed no unnecessary expression other than anger and disdain. However, after appearing in the underground palace, he showed some fear and retreat. Zhu Yan's eyes fell on Fan Xiaodao, and it happened that Fan Xiaodao also

He looked over and shook his head slightly at him.

The emperor is always superior.

Except tonight.

Song Jingang came to the emperor and sat opposite him without waiting for him to speak.

Song Jingang said: "In total, we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years."

"Twenty-two years and three months."

Song Jingang said: "Tonight, I'm here to give Zhiyue an explanation."

Hearing Li Zhiyue's name, everyone present became nervous. The name of Concubine Changle was a taboo in front of the emperor. For more than 20 years, no one had dared to mention it in front of him, but Song Jinjiang not only mentioned it, but also

We must raise troops to investigate the crime.

But no one present felt it was inappropriate.

Song Jingang has this qualification.

However, the emperor didn't seem to think so. He said slowly: "I am not wrong."

Song Jingang asked: "You are right, is it Zhiyue who is wrong?"

The emperor said: "She did it first."

Song Jingang said: "If you hadn't forced her and poisoned her and the child in her belly, what would she have done? When she married you, how did you promise me? After her accident, what did you do?

How did you force her to death step by step? As the saying goes, a tiger cannot eat its venom. Zhu Cong, if you do this, are you still considered a human being? Are you worthy of being the king of a country? "

He is probably the first person in the dynasty to address the emperor by his first name in person.

The emperor said: "At that time, my path of cultivation was smooth, and attaining Taoism and becoming an immortal was just around the corner. If it weren't for her, she destroyed my foundation, moved my Taoist heart, and caused me to have trouble getting rid of my inner demons for twenty years.
