As for his brothers, they did not come out to stop him, because this was Zhu Houyi's own choice. After all, except Qing Jun, everyone else was in an employment relationship and had no obligation or responsibility to stop any of Zhu Houyi's actions.
"Little imperial doctor, I believe in you, and I also believe that you can escort all the king's men out of the wing."
All the words seemed to have been said. There was no longer any desire for life in Zhu Houyi's eyes. Instead, he looked towards death calmly. He thrust the dagger towards his throat with his right hand. Looking at that decisive movement, Su Xuan With a thought in his heart, he suddenly had another idea, so he directly grabbed the arm that Zhu Houyi committed suicide.
"Your Majesty!"
King Xun Zhu Houyi's closed eyes opened again with doubt. The blocking force coming from his hand made him understand what Su Xuan meant.
"What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, I can't guarantee that I can escort your brothers out, so why don't you trust me and leave it to me? Why don't we go out and discuss it with His Majesty?"
Su Xuan winked at Zhu Houyi. Both of them were smart people, and sometimes they could understand each other's meaning with just one look. Zhu Houyi put down the dagger in his hand, and Su Xuan used his own gestures to communicate with King Xun. The latter could only rely on his own understanding to understand Su Xuan's words.
"Is it time for half a cup of tea?"
Han Diao Si carefully considered the time, turned around and reported to Empress Zhu Zhirui: "Report to Your Majesty, it's already half a cup of tea."
"I can't hear any sound inside. There's no sound at all. Manager Han, look, how is Su Xuan?"
Han Diao Si relied on his special internal power to detect the aura of the people in the governor's mansion, but the result was not as good as Zhu Zhirui imagined. He only heard Han Diao Si say solemnly: "Reporting to your Majesty, inside the mansion, it is still sixteen The number of people has neither increased nor decreased..."
"What a good Su Xuan. I have already wasted nearly an hour of my time. There is no need to wait any longer. I have been working hard for a long time, then failed again, and finally exhausted. The soldiers of the Royal Forest Army have been waiting outside for so long, so they should complete their mission as soon as possible. , let the brothers go back and rest!"
The empress waved her hand and ordered loudly: "Huang Xuan!"
"The general is here!"
A royal guard in purple-gold armor quickly ran up and knelt respectfully in front of Zhu Zhirui. The latter pointed towards the governor's mansion and said slowly: "Huang Xuan, I'll give you half a stick of incense to break through." Isn’t this a difficult thing to do in this small courtyard?”
Huang Xuan did not accept the order directly. Although he was a member of the Royal Forest Army, he could not express much respect for the emperor who was like a young boy. It was just a level of repression due to his position.
"Your Majesty, half a stick of incense is enough time!"
"Then go! Huang Xuan, I'm waiting for your good news!" After Zhu Zhirui made all the arrangements, she sat on her sedan chair again, quietly waiting for the show to begin. Huang, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, Xuan stood up directly and swung the sword at his waist towards him, his white cloak flying in the cold wind.
Huang Xuan pointed his arm upward and shouted loudly: "Crossbowman! Get ready! Three!"
The wind seemed to have sensed the majestic momentum and unparalleled killing intent of the imperial guards, and was blowing towards the courtyard of the governor's mansion. As long as the repeating crossbow triggered the mechanism, it would penetrate a two-man person within a hundred steps. The tree trunk is hugged tightly, and once it is helped by the wind, it is even more powerful!
"two!"
In the Imperial Forest Army at the rear, the fingers of the crossbowmen have been firmly placed on the mechanism. As long as the commander gives an order, almost hundreds of arrows will be shot towards the governor's mansion at the same time. As long as there are no hidden objects inside, Living creatures underground will be stabbed by pure steel arrows. Even for a first-level warrior, it is somewhat laborious to find them.
Moreover, when this kind of repeating crossbow is designed, it is never just a one-time damage, but one wave after another, almost two breaths apart. In fact, the last wave of arrow rain has not yet arrived, and the next wave has not yet arrived. Waves of arrow rain followed, again and again. A first-level warrior must have a certain defensive magic weapon with him, otherwise he will be exhausted.
Huang Xuan took a deep breath and was about to use his powerful inner strength to tell his brothers, and by the way, also tell the enemies in the courtyard of the mansion to be prepared to face the anger of the Imperial Guards!
But before that word was spoken, the sandalwood door of the governor's mansion slowly opened with a creak. Huang Xuan straightened his arms. The crossbowmen at the back of the team just put their fingers on the mechanism and were not in a hurry to fire. Huang Xuan stabbed with his left hand, pulled out the sharp sword from his waist, and pointed in the direction of the sandalwood door. The silver-armored forest guards in front raised the spears they held in their hands.
The sandalwood door slowly opened until the appearance inside was completely visible.
Su Xuan and King Xun Zhu Houyi stood opposite each other, with only an arm's length between them. However, there was a short sword at the junction between the two. Zhu Houyi was already limp and just relied on Su Xuan's hand. On the hundred-refined short sword, the rough palm slowly fell on the hilt.
Su Xuan's eyes were like a bitch, and he had several horrific injuries on his body. A wound went straight from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, and there were several more cuts on his arms. Blood was oozing out of the corners of Su Xuan's mouth, and his face was pale. , but obviously, the result at the scene was that Su Xuan won, as evidenced by the dagger inserted into Zhu Houyi's heart.
Of course, King Xun slowly put his other hand on Su Xuan's shoulder and gave a miserable smile. Finally, he even spurted out a mouthful of blood. Then he turned his head and glanced at the imperial guards outside, landing on the empress Zhu Zhirui. On the body, the latter's eyes were a little bit unbearable, but they still had mostly cold expressions.
"Little bastard, you won after all..."
Zhu Houyi seemed to have exhausted all his strength and finally said these words. Then his head lowered and rested on Su Xuan's forward body. His lips seemed to be moving to say something, but Zhu Zhirui's side All he could hear was the words that he finally won, lingering in his ears.
"Did you win?"
After finally seeing her uncle die in front of her, Zhu Zhirui's emotions were very complicated, and she didn't know what she felt for a while.
"The mission is accomplished, Your Majesty..."
Su Xuan's weak voice came out, but Zhu Zhirui had no mind to pay attention to Su Xuan now. She seemed to have been drained of all the energy in her body. She continued to do it slowly, her eyebrows lowered, and Know what to think.
