"Okay, the little man will go with Lord Lu." Wang Jien replied, knowing in his heart that he must get the edict before Lu Duan, otherwise all his efforts will be in vain.
With that said, Lu Duan walked out of the hall and walked in the direction of Zhongshu Province, followed closely by Wang Jien. Later, a few adults also wanted to see what was going on and planned to go along with them. Who would have thought that immediately after Lu Duan and Wang Jien walked out of the hall, several forbidden troops came to guard the door. At this time, a burly seven-foot man stood in front of the door and drank: "Before the new emperor succeeds to the throne, there will be no new emperor." No one is allowed to enter or exit the hall without permission!" This person was Li Jilong, the general of the Song Dynasty and Empress Li's brother.
"General Li, what do you mean?" a courtier asked.
"Please bear with me, everyone. Since the turmoil in Li and Tang Dynasties, the people have suffered, and there has been turmoil everywhere. Taizu is mighty and powerful, and the emperor has unified the Central Plains. Since I have won the trust of the late emperor, he has given me the power to dispatch troops and generals. We must protect the foundation of the Song Dynasty." Li Jilong looked at Empress Li and replied, "Now that the late emperor has passed away, I have been ordered by the empress to keep it here. Unless ordered by the new emperor today, I will never let it go. No one can come in or out of here." This is obvious. Today's new emperor must confirm his accession to the throne, otherwise no one will be allowed out. Several adults also looked out and saw that the main hall had been surrounded by heavy soldiers, so they had no choice but to walk back to the main hall angrily.
Lu Duan walked slowly in front, followed closely by Wang Jien. Wang Jien and his elder brother were both born in troubled times. They had entered the palace since the reign of Emperor Shizong Chai Rong of Zhou Dynasty, and later acquired martial arts by chance. Although he was a eunuch, he also accompanied Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Emperor Zhao Guangyi on their campaigns in the north and south. Naturally, he has a strong body and can walk as fast as flying. He is different from Lu Duan, who is over sixty years old and has a round figure. Seeing Lu Duan wandering around like this, he felt anxious. Twenty-two years ago, it was he who watched with his own eyes how Zhao Guangyi became the emperor step by step, and it was he who helped Zhao Guangyi pass on the throne at the most critical moment. Twenty-two years later, he planned to stage the "sound of ax and shadow of candle" scene again.
Wang Jien kept urging: "Master Lu, please hurry up. The ministers in the main hall are still waiting?!"
Lu Duan said: "Okay, I will speed up my pace now." He walked a little faster as a symbol. After walking for a while, he was out of breath and slowed down again. He smiled and said: "I am old now. Please bear with me, Prince." one time". Wang Jien felt hateful and angry, and then he thought: Why do I have to wait for this old guy? I will go there first, find the edict, and then I can go back to the hall. What does the speed of his life and death have to do with me? Then he said: "Well, Mr. Lu, you don't remember the specific location. I will go and look for it first. If I find it, I will come to look for you. If I can't find it, I will wait for you to come and search together. "
Lu Duan gasped and said, "This is the only way to go. It's no wonder that I'm old and incompetent, but it's actually hurting the prince."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Wang Jien said, and he immediately used Qinggong. In a flash, he arrived at Zhongshu Province, entered the courtyard of Zhongshu Province, and went straight to the imperial edict pavilion.
There were two guards outside the imperial edict pavilion. When they saw Wang Jien, they lowered their heads to signal. Wang Jien had no time to take care of these two people and nodded perfunctorily. He just wanted to find the imperial edict quickly and strode into the imperial edict pavilion. As soon as you enter the Zhaoshu Pavilion, you will see a set of mahogany tables and chairs. Behind the tables and chairs is a large bookcase. The bookcase has hundreds of drawers, and different documents are placed inside. Wang Jien muttered as he searched: "What's the third time?" A fourth cabinet, when will I find so many cabinets?!" Even so, Wang Jien was still flipping through drawers one by one, thinking that since it is an edict, it must be gorgeous and gorgeous, and it must be different from ordinary documents and letters. .
While Wang Jien was looking for it, he heard a "bang!" As the light in the room gradually dimmed, Wang Jien looked back and saw that the door of the imperial edict pavilion had been closed. Wang Jien hurriedly walked out of the door, only to find that the door was locked. Looking out through the crack in the door, he saw Lu Duanzheng standing there with a smile, and he took out a bag from his arms very proudly. The golden cloth was rolled up and said: "Thank you so much, Eunuch Wang, I have found the edict. Today, I am deeply honored to have the Edict Pavilion pass by Eunuch Wang, so I ask Eunuch Wang to stay here for a while until I complete my official duties. , come and drink and sing with you again." Only then did Wang Jien realize that he had been tricked, and shouted: "You Lu Duan! The edict has been on you from the beginning. Do you think such a broken door lock is like trapping me! "
Wang Jien used his inner strength with both hands, and struck the hinges on the two doors with his palms. The two palms flew towards the two doors like breaking bamboo! Just two "bang bang" sounds were heard, and the two door panels and the locks were thrown at Lu Duan, who was standing opposite. Seeing the door flying towards him quickly, Lu Duan also retreated in a panic. Suddenly, a guard stood in front of Lu Duan and waved a golden light in his hand upwards. The two doors were in pieces and scattered to the side.
The guard slowly put down the sword in his hand, turned around and asked, "Master Lu, are you okay?"
Lu Duan bowed his head and thanked him: "It turns out to be Li Zhentian, the owner of Manor Li! Thank you for the rescue. I'm fine."
Seeing that Lu Duan was not hit, Wang Jien was very angry and strode out the door. As soon as one foot stepped out of the threshold, a cold air filled his body when he landed, instantly turning Wang Jien into a humanoid ice sculpture. The shadow of the sword pierced Wang Jien's chest and heart. However, when the sword pierced the ice and hit Wang Jien's body, he saw a blue sword bending like a bow string. The "bow string" reached an extreme arc and then bounced away. The person holding the sword felt the reaction force of the sword, and jumped back with the force of the sword. When he landed, he staggered back a few steps. Thoughts: This Wang Jien's golden bell is indeed powerful, even the Sichuan Sword at this moment did not cause any harm to him at all.
I saw Li Zhentian jumping up with a big knife in both hands, and slashing hard at Wang Jien's left shoulder from top to bottom. The knife hit his shoulder. Wang Jien felt like a thousand-jin object fell down, shattering all the ice on his body. . Wang Jien suffered this attack and knelt on the ground with one knee. Countless cracks spread out from the rocks that landed on the ground. Even after practicing this golden bell, my shoulders still felt as if they had been hit hard with an iron rod, and they were extremely hot. Wang Jien shouted loudly and stood up suddenly, sending all the ice chips flying from his body. Li Zhentian felt a powerful force sweeping towards him. He flew out with his sword, then spun around a few times in the air, then landed on the ground with his sword alone, stabilizing his figure.
Wang Jien yelled at Lu Duan angrily: "I said, Lu Duan, how dare you come with me alone? It turns out you were prepared in advance!" Then he turned to look at Liu Zhan who was holding the Kechuan sword and said, "Liu Zhan, I haven't found you yet, but here you are. Today you join forces with Lu Duan to kill the imperial officials in an attempt to usurp the throne. This is a capital crime."
Liu Zhan replied: "Lord Lu, there is an edict left by the Holy One, which establishes Prince Zhao Heng as emperor. How can you plan to usurp the throne? But you, the prince, have the intention to snatch the edict, and you have ulterior motives."
Wang Jien didn't want to waste words with Liu Zhan, so he rushed directly towards Lu Duan. Li Zhentian, who was standing beside him, held a knife in his right hand and slashed directly at Wang Jien's stomach. Wang Jien took advantage of the situation and directly grasped the blade with his left hand, and directly grasped Li Zhentian's right wrist holding the knife with his other hand. Li Zhentian had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and was very confident in his strength, but Wang Jien was surprised that he couldn't move the hand he clamped. Wang Jien twisted Li Zhentian's wrist with his right hand. Li Zhentian's wrist hurt and the handle of the knife fell out of his hand. Wang Jien let go of his right hand and slapped Li Zhentian's chest with his backhand. Li Zhentian was unable to resist, so he had to accept the palm and flew back with a powerful impact. After walking several meters away, he pressed his feet hard on the ground before slowly stopping. Wang Jien held the blade of the Sky-breaking Knife with his left hand, threw it upward, lifted it into the air, caught the handle of the knife with his right hand, turned around and threw it towards where Li Zhentian was. The knife flew straight towards Li Zhentian. Li Zhentian hurriedly dodged when he saw this. The knife passed by Li Zhentian and went straight into the wall. It was a black and gold sword with only the handle outside. Wang Jien ignored Li Zhentian and reached out to grab Lu Duan again.
When he was about to catch Lu Duan, he saw that the entire left arm had turned into ice and could not be handled. Liu Zhan kicked Wang Jien in the chest again, and Wang Jien took two steps back. Liu Zhan winked at Lu Duan. Lu Duan understood and knew that he could only get in the way here, so he hurriedly ran towards the door. Wang Jien shouted: "Want to run?" He used his internal force to shatter the ice on his left arm, and flew towards the door. Suddenly, a foot-wide ice wall blocked Wang Jien's face, and Liu Zhan swung his sword at Wang Jien's face. Go, Wang Jien leaned back to avoid the sword, and reached out to grab Liu Zhan's sword-holding hand, but Liu Zhan had already retracted his hand, and slapped Wang Jien in the face with his left hand, although this slap did nothing to Wang Jien. It worked, but after receiving this slap, Wang Jien felt humiliated and became even more angry. He jumped up and kicked towards Liu Zhan. Liu Zhan immediately dodged to the side to avoid the kick. Wang Jien stood firm on the ground and rushed towards Liu Zhan. Liu Zhan moved forward to meet the enemy, exchanged fists and kicks with Wang Jien, and then retreated. At this moment, Wang Jien and Liu Zhan looked at each other. Wang Jien was so angry that he wished he were a tiger and tore the man in front of him alive.
At this time, Li Zhentian had pulled out the knife, stood behind Liu Zhan and said: "Brother Liu, today, you and I will join hands to kill this eunuch."
Liu Zhan did not look back and said: "Zhentian, go and protect Mr. Lu as he goes to the main hall. There will definitely be someone blocking you at the entrance of the main hall. Time is urgent. You must escort Mr. Lu back to the main hall! Just leave it to me."
"But, can you deal with him alone?"
Liu Zhan looked at Wang Jien warily and said, "Okay, don't worry. I promised you, now it's time to settle the grudge with Wang Jien."
"Okay, be careful."
With that said, Li Zhentian walked over to Mr. Lu. Just as Wang Jien was about to stop him, a sword edge stood in front of him, sending out bursts of cold air.
Liu Zhan said with a smile: "Wang Jien, let's have a good talk!"
