"The last general, Zhang Xiao, came to support on the order of General Song."
The person coming is the deputy general of the Song family army.
The people behind him were all wearing military uniforms.
Zhang Xiao's eyes fell on Shen Zhixi who was behind many secret guards. Even though she was wearing a Taoist robe, it could be seen that she was a woman and that she was being protected by secret guards. This proved that she was the person they were looking for. Seeing her Nothing happened, Zhang Xiao was very angry.
"Is it Song Lianzhou or Old General Song." Shen Zhixi came from behind.
But whether it was Song Lianzhou or General Song, they all explained one thing, that is, the Song family army did not listen to the call and go to the border.
On the surface, General Song had led his troops and left, but in fact, he was lurking in secret and did not go far.
Shen Zhixi turned around and looked in the direction of the palace in the distance.
"Song Lianzhou, unfortunately I was worried that you would die in the palace, so I specially sent a team to rescue you."
But it turned out that she and Song Lianzhou both wanted to go together.
*
royal palace.
In the morning, Song Lianzhou had been decreed to enter the palace.
It was said that the third prince was ill, and the queen was so worried that she fell ill and wanted him to come to the palace to accompany him.
After entering the palace, I realized that everything was false.
It happened so fast, and the imperial edict was issued so quickly. Before the spies in the palace had time to deliver the news to the uncle's house, he had already been summoned to the palace.
He only sat in the queen's palace for a while before he fainted.
When I woke up again, it was already dark.
Moreover, he was tied to a shelf in the imperial garden with iron ropes. Also tied to his side was the third prince who was also his nephew.
In the pavilion opposite, Emperor Zhao Yanchen sat leisurely holding a wine glass.
Song Qingyu, the sister of the current empress, was kneeling at his feet like a dog. Upon closer inspection, there were several bright red slap marks on her cheeks.
Seeing that he was awake, Zhao Yanchen kicked Song Qingyu.
Song Qingyu subconsciously turned back to look at the pond in the Imperial Garden. When he saw Song Lianzhou who had woken up, he burst into tears.
"Go, the game has begun." Zhao Yanchen smiled cruelly, a bit like Xie Zhang, "Your son or your brother can only live one, who do you choose?"
The kneeling man trembled all over and stood up tremblingly. Every step was extremely heavy.
When he walked to Song Lianzhou, tears were already streaming down his face.
There are two eunuchs standing by the pool. Once she chooses the person who survives, they will immediately put the chosen person down, and the other one will be shot by random arrows.
"Brother." Song Qingyu's voice was trembling.
Hearing her call him, Song Lianzhou frowned, his eyes filled with distress. How could he not hate seeing his sister being so humiliated?
"Don't...don't blame sister. He is the flesh that fell from her body. I can't watch him die."
Song Qingyu slowly raised his hand and pointed at his son who was still sleeping, but he could not make a decision.
"I'm sorry." She didn't dare to look into Song Lianzhou's eyes, she just lowered her eyes and apologized, "Actually, you don't blame me, right? You are my biological brother. I understand you. It's really a life and death situation. If you sacrifice, you can make me If he lives, or if I let my father live, you won't hesitate, right?"
The slap mark on her face was redder than the color of her lips.
And the way Song Lianzhou looked at her was really without any blame at all.
If it really comes to that moment, he will definitely sacrifice his life for the one he loves.
However, the current situation is different.
Even if he died, the emperor might not let the third prince go, but the dozens of bows and arrows mounted behind the pavilion were indeed a threat.
No matter what happens next, there must be a choice now.
"I know you won't blame me, but I still feel guilty for not choosing you at this moment, Adi, this is the only choice I can make."
After finishing her words, she pointed at the third prince with more determination, "I choose him, I want to save him!"
Zhao Yanchen in the pavilion raised his hand with a playful smile.
The eunuchs standing by the pool immediately understood and used the keys to unlock the chains that locked the third prince of Shan. They put him down and took him away far away.
At the same time, the archers drew their bows and prepared to shoot sharp arrows.
Song Qingyu rushed forward and hugged Song Lianzhou, while putting a hairpin in his hand, "Brother, you have to get out alive."
Immediately, he pushed Song Lianzhou into the pool with all his strength.
The arrows behind her also flew at the same moment, all aimed at her back.
Originally, Zhao Yanchen had planned for her to die here with Song Lianzhou, so whatever decision he made just now was meaningless.
After Song Lianzhou dies, Zhao Yanchen may be able to say that he coerced the third prince to try to kill the king and ascend to the throne. In any case, he can always explain Song Lianzhou and her death as reasonable.
All the misfortunes of the Song family are all her fault.
It was because she didn't know people well and had to marry Zhao Yanchen that she now harmed the entire Song family.
She was willing to die to apologize, but Song Lianzhou could escape.
He is good at water and can hold his breath for a long time in the water. When he uses the hairpin to pry open the iron rope and comes out from the water, he will definitely be able to escape from the Imperial Garden with his kung fu.
Come to think of it, there are people outside to support him.
"I'm sorry, it's all my sister's fault."
Before he finished speaking, countless arrows came quickly.
At the moment of lightning, a stone came out of the air from the left and hit the back of her knees, causing her feet to collapse and she fell to the ground.
Therefore, those flying sharp arrows were shot into the air and flew far away into the ground on the other side of the pool.
She turned around hurriedly and saw many people rushing in from the west side of the Royal Garden. The leader was even more familiar to her.
"Wei Hong?"
At the same time, a group of people suddenly came to the archer's place behind the pavilion.
Look carefully, isn't that His Highness King Jing who has been foolish for many years?
Zhao Yanchen frowned and stood up, dropping the wine glass in his hand. He looked at King Jing and his lips trembled, "Okay, you've been hiding it really well for so many years!"
The venerable king was fighting with his men and had no time to respond to him.
He kicked away the wine glass at his feet, rolled his sleeves angrily, and hid towards the east exit of the Royal Garden under the cover of the people beside him.
"Your Majesty, I offended you by taking action at the critical moment. Please forgive me."
Wei Hong quickly came over and helped Song Qingyu up.
Before he could take a breath, another arrow was shot. He pulled the queen to dodge, and when he looked back, he saw that the guards outside the imperial garden came over upon noticing the movement, and even set off cigarette smoke to summon the imperial guards.
In the water, Song Lianzhou, who was tied to a wooden frame, pried open the chains on his wrists at extremely fast speeds.
After escaping, immediately jump out of the water.
"Master!" Seeing that Song Lianzhou was fine, Wei Hong grinned.
But the smile didn't last long, and was interrupted again by a flying arrow.
Together with Song Lianzhou, he hid Song Qingyu behind a hidden rockery, and then continued fighting with everyone around the rockery.
When the imperial guards saw Xin Yan, they all surrounded him.
The 20,000 Imperial Guards seemed a bit difficult to break through.
Even if Song Lianzhou and others were highly skilled in martial arts, they would still be unable to withstand the force of the sea of people, not to mention that the opponent also had bows, arrows, hidden weapons, and even prepared artillery.
"Young Master, let's work together to break through to the west. We may not be able to break through, but at least we can keep the Young Master and His Highness Prince Jing out of trouble."
Wei Hong's intention was to sacrifice everyone to send Song Lianzhou and King Jing out.
"Don't talk nonsense." Song Lianzhou immediately refused and glanced at him coldly, "Don't you want to go out alive to see Miss Yang?"
Miss Yang, Yang Xinyue.
Wei Hong was stunned for a moment, as if he was surprised that his young master actually knew about him and Miss Yang.
"You are indeed a great lover." King Jing smiled and said to Song Lianzhou: "It's now, what kind of lady are you still thinking about? Tell me, are you also thinking about your Miss Shen? "
Thinking about it, Song Lianzhou frowned, of course he missed her.
Think about how she is now, whether she is in danger, and whether she is out of trouble.
No matter what, she will always be in his heart.
"You shouldn't have come." He replied to the king.
If King Jing dies, who else will be reliable on the throne in the future?
"I know what you mean, but Song Lianzhou, the throne is important, but the friendship between you and me is also very important. Besides, everyone is working hard to solve the chaos. Look at everyone who fought bloody battles with us. If you want me to cower and hide safely, and then step on their bones to sit on the throne, do you think I can sit at ease?"
They were talking, but the moves in their hands never stopped for a moment.
It's just that the manpower gap is too great, and they have been forced into a corner and surrounded.
"Hold on, the army will be here soon!"
As Song Lianzhou fell with a loud voice, many teams wearing military uniforms and armors rushed in from outside the imperial garden. The number was even larger than the imperial guards in the palace.
It's just that the military uniform he wears is particularly unfamiliar.
Not the Song family army.
Moreover, the Song family army may have just arrived outside the city at this moment.
But regardless of whether it is an army, judging from the situation, they are here to support.
Soon, the tide of the battle was turned.
One of the army lieutenant generals came towards Song Lianzhou and others from a distance, nodded and clasped his fists.
"Liu Ming, the last general, came to support us on the order of Miss Shen."
