…
Yan Qi's clothes were in tatters, so he randomly picked up the soldiers' clothes and wore them.
Wearing a mask again.
At first glance, he looks like a little soldier.
He had another mischievous idea and rushed to the door of death.
The Gate of Death is halfway up the mountain.
The old emperor came to the scene in person and was directing the soldiers to cut mountains and stones.
Zhao Yulin, Gao Shangtian, and Dong Chun all looked solemn.
Next to them, there were the Eight Sage Kings, Yang Ke, and Zhang Yongwu standing with their hands behind their backs, looking gloating about their misfortune.
Yan Qi asked the soldier beside him: "Where is the miracle doctor Hua Yihua?"
Xiao Bing said: "Don't you know? Hua Yi fainted from crying and has been sent down the mountain to rest."
Yan Qi felt heartbroken when he heard this.
This little girl is so kind to me.
Yan Qi did not show up immediately.
He wanted to see the ugly faces of the Eight Wise Kings and others.
…
For seven days and seven nights, the old emperor kept fighting on the front line.
When I was sleepy, I just built a temporary shelter and took a rest.
Gao Shangtian, Zhao Yulin, Dong Chun and others changed shifts, commanding the troops to dig out the rocks.
However, manual excavation of rocks cannot be achieved overnight.
In seven days, one hundred meters were dug.
This is already the limit.
The soldiers were panting from exhaustion.
The longer time passes, the slimmer the hope.
The old emperor's eyes were red, and he stood in front of death's door. His voice was hoarse and his breath was dying, and he asked Gao Shangtian: "Is there any progress?"
Gao Shangtian frowned deeply, shook his head, forced out a smile, and comforted the old emperor: "The door to death will be opened soon. Don't worry, Your Majesty, Lord Yan will be fine."
The old emperor lamented: "Are you still lying to me, thinking that I am a three-year-old child? It seems that this door of death cannot be opened. Why are you so stupid? I wonder, thousands of soldiers, Can’t dig a cave?”
Gao Shangtian was very ashamed.
Zhao Yulin explained: "Your Majesty, the design of Bagua Qimen is not linear, but curved. The stone gate has collapsed and you can't see the map, so you can only dig it out as a whole. This is equivalent to moving a mountain and talking about it."
How easy. "
When the old emperor heard this, his eyes turned red and he sighed: "No, no, no, Yan Qi is definitely fine. Jiren have their destiny."
"Brother Emperor, you are still comforting yourself."
The Eighth Sage King walked up angrily, unable to hide the joy in his eyes, but deliberately pretending to be sad: "Brother Emperor, you are not only comforting yourself, you are also deceiving yourself. Seven days have passed now, and Yan Qi is here If you don’t eat or drink water for seven days, you will be dead long ago, can you still live?”
"However, the imperial brother insisted on having his own way and made so many soldiers work hard without rest for seven days and seven nights. Isn't this...isn't this abusing the soldiers?"
When the old emperor heard this, he felt like a heavy stone was pressing down on him, and even his breathing became rapid.
Yang Ke also said: "Your Majesty, the Eight Wise Kings are right. If you don't drink water for three days, you will definitely die. If you don't eat for seven days, you will definitely die. Now, seven days have passed. Even if Yan Qi was not killed by Ye Biluo, he would definitely die. I'm going to die of thirst or starvation, how can I possibly survive?"
Zhang Yongwu said: "What Prime Minister Yang and the Eight Wise Kings said is absolutely true. Your Majesty, I am a military general. You should speak straightforwardly and don't mince words."
"Actually, Yan Qi cannot starve to death, nor can he die of thirst. But after Yan Qi rolls into the door of death, there is no possibility for him to survive."
"Your Majesty, you don't know. Who is Ye Biluo? He is the leader of Dark Night Hall and the top killer. Ye Biluo's martial arts is several levels stronger than Yan Qi. It can be said that Ye Biluo killed Yan Qi , It’s like squeezing an ant to death. So why should the soldiers bother to work hard to cut mountains and stones? This is all useless work, so don’t do it.”
The words of the Eight Sages, Yang Ke, and Zhang Yongwu were like stabbing the old emperor's heart several times.
The old emperor was heartbroken and bleeding.
His red eyes swept over the Eight Sages, Yang Ke, and Zhang Yongwu. Finally, he settled on the door of death. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die! Even if Yan Qi died in the cave, and his body must be found."
The Eight Wise Kings sneered: "It wastes troops and money, why bother?"
The old emperor angrily said: "What does it mean to waste the army and lose money? Yan Qi stabilized the country and made great contributions to China. I found Yan Qi's body and kept it in the national collection."
"What, a state funeral?"
Hearing this, the Eighth Sage King raised his eyebrows: "How can that be done? Why should Yan Qi hold a state funeral..."
The old emperor gritted his teeth and said with sadness and determination in his voice: "This matter cannot be changed and no one can doubt it."
When the Eight Wise Kings heard this, they were very angry.
Yan Qi was moved.
The old emperor was really interested in himself.
He actually wanted to give himself a state funeral.
A state funeral is the supreme treatment.
Except for the emperor, the Eight Wise Kings, and the prince, no one can enjoy such an honor.
…
The Eighth Sage King sneered: "Your Majesty, when Yan Qi is in danger, Dong Chun bears an unshirkable responsibility. Dong Chun should be dismissed from his post immediately and held accountable strictly."
"What?"
When the old emperor heard this, he was immediately excited.
The Eight Wise King's eyes were cold and stern: "If Dong Chun had planned everything properly, how could he have allowed Ye Biluo to escape and ascend to heaven? Or was it because of his lack of experience in commanding battles that the emperor was in danger and Yan Qi was killed? How can such a serious crime of dereliction of duty not be investigated? "
"I think Dong Chun should be dismissed from his post immediately and sent to the military department for qualitative accountability. How can such a mediocre official occupy the magpie's nest and affect Dahua's military strength?"
The old emperor's teeth were itching with hatred.
No one can refute the words of the Eight Wise Kings.
Dong Chun felt very ashamed: "I failed to kill all the killers of Dark Night Hall, which caused Master Yan to be in danger. I have a great responsibility, and the pain in my heart is unbearable. I... I would rather exchange my life for Master Yan's life, and I am also here." No matter what. It’s a pity that time can’t go back.”
"Your Majesty, the Eight Wise Kings, there is no need to be dismissed. I will resign voluntarily and accept the punishment of the military. Then I will commit suicide and apologize to Lord Yan."
"However, before I resign and commit suicide, please allow me to command the troops, dig the cave, and find Lord Yan's body. This way, I can feel at ease and give an explanation to the emperor."
After that, he cried bitterly.
Unable to maintain self-control.
Yan Qi was moved after hearing this.
As expected, Dong Chun was not in vain, he was a loyal man.
However, he did not see the sinister intentions of the Eight Wise Kings.
To force you to step down at this time is to seize power, isn't it?
Zhao Yulin was anxious: "What is General Dong doing? Eight Sage Kings, Prime Minister Yang, General Zhang, you underestimate Master Yan too much. You said you died of thirst, starved to death, or were killed by Ye Biluo. That's all nonsense. , are all lies and fart words."
"Is Mr. Yan an ordinary person? He is a god-like existence. He can definitely turn misfortunes into good fortune and turn disasters into good fortune. What we have to do now is not to hold people accountable, but to work together to dig open the stone door and welcome Mr. Yan back."
He waved to the brothers of the Nine Gate Army: "Brothers, I know that we have struggled for seven days and seven nights and are exhausted, but are you willing to dig mountains and dig holes with me now to rescue Lord Yan?"
"Yes, we are willing."
The crowd roared.
Zhao Yulin bowed her hands and said, "Thank you brothers. Now, we will start digging mountains and cutting rocks. We will not stop until we rescue Mr. Yan."
"Rescue Mr. Yan, rescue Mr. Yan..."
The brothers of the Nine Gate Army spoke in unison and were in high spirits.
When Dong Chun saw this, he felt ashamed.
He only knows how to blame himself, but he does not have the domineering and persistence of Zhao Yulin.
Compared with Zhao Yulin, she pales in comparison.
