Don’t Be a Kept Man

Shen Miaoping silently retracted his gaze, only feeling the sudden pain of his head. Since Xie Yanping was guarding the city gate, it means that Xie Yuzhi is still in the palace and the situation is not optimistic. Otherwise, there will be no more people left behind to guard the gate, with most of the soldiers. Go to the palace for support.

The city gate opened, and soldiers came out to collect the remaining weapons and the corpses of their companions. Shen Miaoping bowed and walked away quietly, dragging the corpse of a dead Jin soldier into the woods under the cover of night.

It was the first time that Shen Miaoping touched a person to death. The other person still had some residual warmth on his body, an arrow in his chest and abdomen, the wound was soaked white by rain, his armor was slippery and greasy, I don't know if it was blood or something else.

"Sorry... offended..."

He hurriedly removed his armor, and then quickly exchanged the clothes of the two. Shen Miaoping put on his helmet, picked up a knife from the ground, wiped two muds on his face, and quietly mixed into the Jin soldiers' team.

He learned from others. He picked up the corpse of a Jin soldier from the ground and put it on the cart under the city wall. Shen Miaoping moved very slowly and deliberately dropped the others for half a step. He saw no one noticed himself, and his figure flashed. , Passing through the city gate hidden into the side street.

Ordinary patrolling of the street is still good. At least Shen Miaoping knows where there are small roads and can catch up with Xie Yanping’s team in the shortest time. The street is now empty, and the people keep the door closed, even the most lively Pingkang Fang The lights were also dazzling, some shops did not even have time to close the doors, and the goods were scattered all over the place, as if they were looted. The prosperous Shengjing has now become a dead city.

Xie Yanping’s team moved quickly, but because of the fierce battle just now, there was no formation. Some people were injured and faintly fell some distance. Shen Miaoping ran very fast, hiding sideways at the corner of the alley, waiting for them to run. After passing, follow the tail of the team, and then slowly speed up and mix into the crowd.

Prince Li obviously had been planning for a long time. The private soldiers under his support were all strong and capable of one-stop ten. Some loyal generals led their troops to guard the Suzaku Gate and blocked their attack with difficulty, but the situation in the imperial city was still unacceptable. Optimistic, far more tragic than the fight outside the city wall, there are palace ladies and eunuchs who flee to save their lives, and there is chaos.

The sky gradually brightened, and the rain gradually stopped. After a night of fighting, most of the soldiers on Xie Yuzhi’s side had been damaged. Sun Tong stepped up the stone steps with sticky feet. He took the next step and stepped into the council hall with a grim expression. Li: "Please abdicate your majesty!"

The emperor was dressed in a uniform, and the sword in his hand was dripping with blood, and his murderous aura was full: "Do you dare to speak wild words in front of me?"

Xie Yuzhi's eyes were cold, his side face was covered with dry blood, and the silver armor on his body was soaked in blood so that no color was visible. He held the long sword in his hand and guarded the emperor in the middle, with an imposing manner and a cold voice. Said: "Rebellious officials and thieves, everyone gets punishable--"

Although Sun Tong had the upper hand, his expression was not so good. According to his original idea, he should have already captured the imperial city at this time, but Xie Yuzhi just took so little people to spend the night, and Prince Li has not yet entered. In the imperial city, even though the opponent is now at the end of the crossbow, he dare not rashly kill himself to damage his troops.

Sun Tong took a few steps forward again: "General Xie, you are a rare talent. Why bother to pay your life for an unrelated person? It's better to abandon your life. I promise you will be as good as ever. Wouldn't it be a pity to break here? Up."

The third son Xie Pingzhi was also familiar with martial arts. He was forced by Chang Guogong to go into battle. When he saw that the situation was wrong, he wanted to abandon his soldiers and escape. Finally, he was cut by Sun Tong with a sword.

Xie Yuzhi looked at him coldly, without saying a word, and the sarcasm was full. Sun Tong was annoyed by what he looked at. He swung his sword and cut off the candlestick on the side. The tip of the sword pointed at the emperor and said cruelly: "Kill me! Who can take it? I won’t forget the heads of Emperor Dog and Xie Yuzhi’s Xiangshang, he would have done a great job!"

As soon as his voice fell, he heard a loud and deafening noise from the outside. Everyone jumped in shock. It didn't take long for him to hear a sound of killing approaching. Sun Tong looked out in horror, but saw that Xie Yanping had led the troops. Came to support, the opponent rode on the horse, carrying an object in his hand, and hurled it along, unbiasedly, just at Sun Tong's feet. He fixed his eyes and found that it was a **** head.

Xie Yanping said loudly to everyone: "The betrayal prince is dead, the first level is here, you surrender at a constant speed, and you will not kill if you drop troops!"

The soldiers behind Sun Tong were in an uproar upon hearing the words. The emperor stepped forward when he saw this, and looked around the audience with majestic eyes: "I know that you are bewitched by others. Now I will give you a chance to lay down the sword and surrender. Lie Zong swears that the soldiers will not kill!"

Xie Yuzhi's eyes swept across the people on the opposite side one by one, many of them were from the old Xie family. He put the long sword into the sheath to show his attitude, and then stood back to the emperor's side, saying in a solemn voice: kill--!"

"Dang Cang" sounded softly. I don't know whose weapon fell to the ground first. It was like an omen. Then one after another people threw the weapon in their hands. Sun Tong looked around, his eyes were distraught: "You Are you crazy?! Quickly pick up all the weapons for me! Pick them up! I told you to pick them up! You can't believe what they say! Can't believe it!"

He was crazy, kicking over several surrendered soldiers around him. In the end, he didn't feel enough. If he was extremely angry, he would start to chop people. At this moment, the sharp sound of an arrow piercing the air suddenly sounded, and everyone just listened. There was a muffled sound, Sun Tong's figure suddenly stiffened, he staggered back two steps, and finally fell straight to the ground, his eyes widened, a feather arrow stuck in his throat, and his tail trembling slightly.

Everyone followed and saw Xie Yuzhi's bow hitting the string, but this time the arrow pointed at those traitors who had not thrown away their weapons. They were startled, and they clearly felt the murderous intent from the opponent, and they couldn't help but panic. The faces looked at each other.

Xie Yuzhi's stringed finger loosened, and the arrow tip flashed with cold light, silently oppressing people's hearts, and finally there was another crying sound. The remaining traitors threw their weapons in their hands and knelt directly in shock, and bowed their heads to the emperor. "Your Majesty be merciful! Your Majesty be merciful!"

He only said that the soldiers would not kill, but he did not say impunity. The emperor raised his hand to indicate that someone soon dragged them down, waiting for them either with a hundred spine rods or being exiled for thousands of miles. It was not a good ending.

Shen Miaoping was in the crowd outside. He looked at Xie Yuzhi from a distance, and finally tugged at the corner of his mouth, showing a difficult smile, and his nerves that had been tense for a long time finally relaxed. He just followed Xie Yanping into the Vermilion Bird Gate and hid all the way to the east. He was almost kicked by someone. It was extremely dangerous, but fortunately.

Fortunately he caught up...

Both of them are alive, he can still call each other a second master, and he can jump off the other's feet with anger, and listen to Xie Yuzhi and call himself a little bastard.

Shen Miaoping was extremely tired. He only felt that he didn't even have the strength to stand up. His elbows and knees were also hot and painful. He was leaning against the handrail behind him, and just about to take a breath, he suddenly heard a horse hiss in his ears, subconsciously. When I saw it, I saw a long figure turning over on horseback neatly, with a whip in his hand, galloping away from the palace gate.

Although Shen Miaoping didn't see the opponent's face clearly, he knew that the man's eight achievements were Xie Yuzhi. Because Chang Guogong jumped angrily behind, he just yelled: "Insane! It's the opposite! You dare to grab your Laozi's mount!" !"

Shen Miaoping laughed abruptly when he heard the words, and suddenly knew what Xie Yuzhi was going to do, so the original thought to rest was gone. What if the other party thought he was going to marry a wife.

Inside and outside the imperial city, every few steps you can see the corpses, there are court ladies, some eunuchs, some soldiers, and some people. The bluestone floor has been splashed with water several times, and the redness in the cracks is still dark. , Everyone is busy endlessly, and no one cares about that figure riding a fast horse.

The Changguo Palace was searched, and all the masters who had ambushed in advance were also beheaded. The tall buildings remained the same, and the water pavilions were silent, and there was no popularity. Xie Yuzhi was already exhausted after a night of **** battle. He turned over and got off his horse, fell to the ground with soft legs, got up from the ground with support, and limped in.

The Qufeng Courtyard was in a mess, but Xie Yuzhi had no time to take care of it. He opened the secret compartment of the mechanism and entered the crypt. Unexpectedly, he found that people had gone to the building. Although the floor tiles under the bed had been covered up, some prying marks could still be seen.

The hanging heart fell back to its original place in an instant, and Shen Miaoping should have left.

Just run away...

Just run away...

It means that Shen Miaoping was not caught by the people who came to search. He is so smart and should find a safe place to shelter. After a few days, the news of annihilating the rebel ministers will come out.

However, Xie Yuzhi thought again that the Liao army outside has not been completely wiped out, so it is better to take someone to find him back, and put it under the eyelids to be at ease. Close the crypt again, and Xie Yuzhi walked out with a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he caught a glimpse of a figure sitting in the corner of the wall and was stunned.

The other party seemed to be aware of the footsteps behind him, and subconsciously raised his head to look at Xie Yuzhi. The man's handsome face was full of dust and mud, but it did not prevent Xie Yuzhi from recognizing him.

"Shen Miaoping..."

Xie Yuzhi helped the door frame and slowly leaned over, staring at him intently. He has forgotten how long he has not called out these three words with his first name and last name. It may be one day, maybe ten days, but one of them has passed. Feeling for many years.

"I didn't go."

Shen Miaoping was tired and couldn't stand up anymore. He leaned against the wall and tilted his head to look at Xie Yuzhi. In a tone of pride, he repeated it again aloud: "I didn't go."

Shen Miaoping, who is greedy for life and fear of death, did not leave. He himself felt that this was a very incredible and unimaginable thing.

Xie Yuzhi's throat moved and couldn't say a word. Finally, Shen Miaoping stood up from the ground, smiled and held him in his arms, just like countless nights before, and stretched his hand down his back.

"It's okay, we are all fine."

"I will not leave, nor will I marry a wife. I will stay with you for the rest of my life."

After the torrential rain last night, a thick layer of leaves has accumulated on the ground. The sycamore in the courtyard gently shakes its branches and quietly drops the last leaf, symbolizing the coming of winter and the coming of spring.
