It is difficult to draw bones when painting people or tigers. Knowing people and their faces but not their hearts.
The most difficult thing to understand in this world is the human heart.
Human hearts are fickle and capricious.
Even your closest relatives may not be reliable in the face of adversity, hardship, and major issues of right and wrong. Many times, the people we know least are often our closest relatives.
My relatives have been getting along for a long time, and they all think they understand each other very well. But precisely because of this, we did not take this matter seriously, and we did not study our relatives seriously. Only when hardships and disasters strike can family love in the world be truly tested.
Sheng Lingren has two sons, one is his biological son Sheng Zhiqiang, and the other is his adopted son Sheng Moming. Because of their blood relationship, Sheng Ling still believed more in his eldest son and biological son Sheng Zhiqiang. But in terms of ability, Sheng Lingren had to admit that young Sheng was inexplicably hundreds of times stronger than his brother. For this reason, people in Sheng Ling still had to use Sheng inexplicable for many things, because Sheng Zhiqiang was simply unable to take on many things.
For example, if the Guan Yin case had been handled by the more cautious Sheng Moming, there might not have been so many loopholes left. Even if there is a flaw, Sheng Momi will definitely let the clues end with Xue Qianhe, and will never let the flames burn his temple. But Sheng Lingren also knew that his adopted son Sheng had an inexplicable strong sense of justice, and he would probably not do anything against his will that was against the moral principles of the world. Sheng Lingren had no choice but to ask his eldest son Sheng Zhiqiang to handle the matter, but instead he got into trouble.
Knowing people well and assigning them well is the way to success. Knowing people but not being good at them is a recipe for disaster.
Sheng Lingren clearly knew that his adopted son disagreed with him on many issues of right and wrong, but he still had to use him. Because he still felt that his adopted son, no matter what, was much more reliable than outsiders like Skeleton Sword Qin Gang. Sheng Lingren always used Qin Gang, but he never trusted him. Because Sheng Lingren knew that there had been a relationship between Qin Gang and Xiao Yurong, and this had always been a heartache that could never be eliminated in their hearts.
Wang Jinghao's imperial guards and many righteous masters in the world have surrounded the Sheng Ling people. Even if the guardian and the master and servant rebel, it is just a scabies disease and nothing to worry about. But what no one expected was that half of the imperial guardsmen were spies placed by the temple in the imperial court. They suddenly rebelled, and it seemed to immediately turn into a mutiny with extremely significant impact in the palace.
Those royal forest guards who were not spies were suddenly killed by the spies around them in an instant, and the ones who remained were all temple disciples with the word "holy" on their heads.
"Haha!" Sheng Lingren laughed loudly. No wonder he just said confidently, "You think you really won," but it turned out that he was already confident.
The imperial guards mutiny, how big a deal is this for the royal family?
Even the soldiers around the royal family can no longer believe it. So, how can there be any safety in the palace?
When the Royal Forest Army turned back, the only martial arts heroes left beside King Xiao were the Xiaoyao Clan, Tang Clan, Emei Sect, Kunlun Sect, and Mushroom Lin. Although these people are highly skilled in martial arts, at this time, the Imperial Palace Forbidden Army suddenly mutinied, but there are still thousands of them. Let dozens of their masters face off against thousands of Forbidden Army, but they can only defeat four hands with two fists, and the heroes are outnumbered by the number of people.
What's more, in the temple, there are also martial arts masters such as Sheng Lingren, masters and servants, and protectors. The most difficult thing for King Xiao is that the emperor is still in the hands of Sheng Lingren. Not only are their numbers far inferior to Sheng Lingren's, they have already lost three points in terms of momentum, and they have also been restrained.
"What? My lord, if you still don't put down your weapons, then you will be captured without mercy." Sheng Lingren grabbed a knife from his subordinates, then held the emperor's neck to threaten Xiao Wangdao.
"You treacherous ministers and traitors, please don't harm the emperor." Prince Xiao said and took the lead in throwing down his weapon.
All the martial arts heroes now looked up to Prince Xiao, and they were indeed worried about the emperor's safety, so they also put down their weapons.
"Haha!" Sheng Lingren had the upper hand, and seemed to have accomplished something great, so he naturally laughed even more arrogantly.
"Congratulations, dad! Finally, he has fulfilled his wish and dominated the martial arts world." At this moment, a group of people suddenly rushed in front of Sheng Lingren and congratulated him immediately. The leader was actually his eldest son Sheng Zhiqiang, and later he also There are Yulin sect Shen Lingyu and her daughter, Skeleton Sword Qin Gang and Xiao Yurong among them.
They didn't know that Sheng Lingren had such a trick before, because this counterinsurgency plan had already been implemented when the Sheng Zhiqiang brothers were still young. Therefore, they never thought that the Sheng Ling people could actually win. Therefore, when the Sheng Ling people were surrounded by heavy troops, they never showed up for fear of being involved in the fire.
Compared with Sheng's obvious stance of not supporting his father, Sheng Zhiqiang is obviously much more cunning. In fact, he has been waiting and watching, sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and tigers.
"My child, where have you been? You came just in time to help me arrest all these so-called palace ministers and heroes. However, the edict was issued to the world, saying that on this day, when the emperor thought he was unable to inherit the throne, he declared You and I, Sheng Ling Ren, will be together. From now on, the world belongs to you and me, father and son. Haha!"
As Sheng Lingren spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the adopted son Sheng Moming in the opponent's formation, and then sighed: "Father now knows that it is better for father and son to be biological. Those white-eyed wolves who have not been raised well must not be spared lightly." Got him."
Sheng Zhiqiang has always been at odds with his younger brother Sheng, so he naturally understands the meaning of his words.
When Sheng Lingren saw Shen Lingyu and her daughter, he remembered that his senior sister Mei Yun had arrived, so he pointed at her and asked, "Master Shen, what's going on?"
"It was the slave family's poor planning and the insufficient power of the Yuanxin Pill, so they lost control of her at the critical moment. However, without the help of the Master, I am afraid that the Lord will not be able to severely damage these warriors!" Shen Lingyu expected that Sheng Lingren would still return. Not knowing the relationship, he explained calmly.
Sheng Lingren really didn't know the mystery, so he believed her for the time being. After all, he now had the upper hand and seemed to have victory within sight. Moreover, the two elders of the Tang clan were indeed injured by people from the Emei sect just now. Without the help of the Emei sect, he might not have been able to reach the palace at all.
"Okay then! I will trust you for the time being." Sheng Lingren said, and then directed Sheng Zhiqiang to hand over the weapons of King Xiao and others.
"Wait a minute!" Sheng Zhiqiang was about to follow the order, but suddenly heard Prince Xiao shouting to stop him.
"Why, does the prince have anything to say?" Sheng Lingren asked with a slight smile.
"Lord Sheng, I think there are only so many cards that you can use. Although you have shown your trump card, I haven't revealed my trump card yet! Don't you, Lord Sheng, don't want to see it?" Xiao Although the prince had lost his weapon, it was only for the safety of the emperor, but it was not a true surrender.
"Okay! I just want to see what other tricks you can do?" Although Sheng Lingren's voice was loud, he had lost some confidence.
When Prince Xiao heard this, he suddenly clapped his hands twice, and there was a "squeak" sound. The door of Jinluan Palace opened immediately, and two people walked out first. One of them was Princess Zhu Zhizhi of Qingying, and the other looked like a general. dress up.
"General Lu Xiao, the guard of the capital, is here. The rebels and thieves will be captured without letting go of the Holy Lord." General Lu Xiao pulled out his sword, pointed it at Sheng Ling and shouted loudly.
At this time, countless soldiers and horses suddenly came out around the Jinluan Palace. They were many times more than the thousands of rebels before. There were tens of thousands of people. Even on the roofs and eaves of the Jinluan Palace and other palaces, there were also people buried on the eaves. There are many ambush archers.
There were originally only a few thousand guardsmen in the palace, and only a small half of them were temple disciples. After a mutiny, the number of temple warriors left behind was only about a thousand at most. But these thousands of imperial guards were immediately surrounded by General Lu Xiao's tens of thousands of capital guards, and naturally they seemed so weak.
If these thousands of rebels have to deal with dozens of martial arts masters, they may still be able to win with their numbers. But facing an army ten times their size, and with many martial arts masters to help them, how can they still have a chance to win?
"Put down your weapons, and I will spare your life. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy." Lu Xiao is a veteran on the battlefield, his voice is murderous, and he is very prestigious in the army. Although those Yulin rebels were actually minions of the temple, most of them had been in the army for a long time and were still a little afraid of General Lu Xiao.
When the rebels took a look, they found that all the palace gates had been blocked, and there was no chance of breaking out. So some of the timid ones took the lead in surrendering with their weapons released. One person took the lead, and the others suddenly felt timid, so they all laid down their weapons and surrendered.
In an instant, only a few dozen die-hard elements were left following Sheng Ling from the originally very powerful rebel army. Among them were Sheng Zhiqiang, Protector, Master and Servant, Qin Gang, and Xiao Rong. Even Shen Lingyu's mother and daughter. They all surrendered.
"Dad! I will help you, my dear, to break out of the siege first, and then look for opportunities to make a comeback." Sheng Zhiqiang said impassionedly to his father.
"Okay! Dad, go ahead, and you will follow. With the Emperor in our hands, they don't dare to mess around." Almost all of Sheng Lingren's rebel forces suddenly surrendered, and he seemed to be alone for a while. He was lamenting that he was the only one closest to his son at this time, when suddenly a palm force came from behind. His already injured body was unable to support him, and he fell forward two feet, then spat out a mouthful of blood. I can't even get up.
When everyone saw, the person who attacked Sheng Lingren from behind was actually his most trusted eldest son, Sheng Zhiqiang.
When the protector and the master and servant met, they didn't understand the situation for a while and asked: "Master, what are you..."
However, before the two of them finished asking, Sheng Zhiqiang suddenly grabbed the Tianling Gai, and then the sound of skulls breaking was heard in their ears. Their eyes suddenly went dark, and they all fell to the ground dead.
"I have already punished the rebellious ministers and traitors. Anyone who refuses to surrender will be punished by death."
Sheng Zhiqiang loudly reprimanded the last dozens of rebels, and then immediately knelt down to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty is frightened. I have captured the rebels. I will leave it to you."
Everyone was a little confused, and no one could react. One moment, Sheng Lingren was the most loyal rebel follower, and the next moment, he suddenly became a hero in countering the rebellion. No one can get used to this kind of 180-degree turn.
