Volume II Chang'an Raging Fire Chapter 101 October Chang'an (4)
Li Mao burned incense in the heavy rain, worshiping heaven and earth, worshiping ancestors, and worshiping the people three times. He pulled out the sword dragon abyss, sweeping away the haze, showing the majesty of the emperor.
He turned around and faced the kings, princes, generals, and officials of civil and military affairs. Haohan said, "Now the northwest plague is rampant, and the evil spirits of the nine netherworld are coming. The nine provinces are in their lives and death. I have ordered the emperor and the ministers. I should wipe out all the evil spirits, pardon the world, return the innocence of the nine provinces, and correct the vastness of the world!"
After saying that, the eunuch presented a glass of golden cup of wine. He raised his glass to the world and the people, and said, "Drink this glass of wine, the emperor and the ministers, and beat the drum to march!"
"My emperor's dignity!" The ministers knelt down and kowtowed.
Li Mao held the wine glass, his hands trembled slightly. He felt cruel and raised his head to drink the wine. "Cough cough cough..."
As soon as the wine was poisoned, he covered his neck and coughed violently. "Ph!" The wine glass fell to the ground, and he fell to the ground. "This wine, this wine..." He was hoarse and twitched constantly on the ground.
"Emperor!" The eunuch was heartbroken and hurriedly knelt down and helped him: "Imperial Doctor, please pass it on to the Imperial Doctor!"
The ministers were panicked.
Li Mao covered his throat, "Geeh..." Blood spilled out of the corners of his mouth, his eyes turned red, and he struggled to look at Lin Xiaofeng and the prince, wanting to say something, but he died before he could speak.
"Father!" the prince yelled and rushed to the altar.
Lin Xiaofeng immediately jumped onto the altar and glanced at Li Mao's bloody eyes, "This is..." a sign of infection with the plague, "This wine is poisonous!"
"Father! Father, wake up!" The prince lay in front of Li Mao's body and cried loudly.
"Geeh..." Another strange sound came from Li Mao's throat.
"He wants the corpse to change, Prince, go quickly!" Lin Xiaofeng picked up Li Ye, grabbed Longyuan Sword, ran out of the Luzhu Platform, and shouted: "The emperor is infected with the virus, everyone leave quickly!"
"Emperor! Emperor!" The ministers did not retreat, but instead rushed to the altar.
"Can't go! He has been infected with the epidemic! You can't go!" Lin Xiaofeng tried his best to stop it, but the ministers were immersed in the pain of the emperor's death, so how could they still dissuade them?
"Roar!" Li Mao suddenly got up from the ground, hugged the eunuch beside him and bit him.
"The emperor is resurrected! The emperor is resurrected!" Someone shouted, and the ministers rushed to the altar even more crazily.
"Teacher Lin, let's go quickly! The emperor has a noble status and cannot kill him. The plague will only continue to spread!" In the chaos, a jade hand grabbed Lin Xiaofeng's wrist. When Chad saw that it was Li Xi, the princess of Xiliang.
"You are..." Lin Xiaofeng also felt that the woman in front of him seemed to be acquaintance.
"It doesn't matter who I am. We must quickly let the guards block the altar, otherwise Chang'an will be the next Liangcheng!" Li Xi pulled Lin Xiaofeng and galloped outside the deer-cutting platform.
Cai Youji led a group of imperial guards into the deer-cutting platform.
"Commander Cai, the emperor has been infected with the plague and should not enter again. You should guard the altar and cut off the spread of the plague!" Lin Xiaofeng stopped Cai Youji and the imperial guards.
Cai Youji shook his head slowly: "Even if he is infected with the epidemic, he is still the emperor. I must go and save him!"
"Folkful loyal!"
"This is fate." Cai Youji glanced at Long Yuan in Lin Xiaofeng's hand and the prince beside him, bowed his waist and fist and bowed: "There are a few fast horses outside, and Mr. Lin can take it himself, so His Royal Highness will entrust him to Mr. Lin." After that, he led the guards around Lin Xiaofeng and rushed to the deer-cutting platform.
Lin Xiaofeng cursed inwardly and rushed out of the door with Li Xi first. He took a horse and was about to leave, but Li Xi was indifferent.
"Princess, get on the horse!"
"I still have a mission that has not been completed, so I must stay in Chang'an." Li Xi shook his head, his eyes bold and firm, so heroic and so beautiful.
"Then the princess takes care of herself!" Lin Xiaofeng bowed slightly to Li Xi and rode his horse towards Ximen.
Li Xi stroked the rain stains on his face, looked out of Chang'an City, and sighed regretfully: "Yan Yunting, your 100,000 taels will probably be difficult to pay back again in this life..."
...
After Lin Xiaofeng walked for a while, Li Wei led a team of fully armed guards to the deer-cutting platform. At this time, the fighting and screaming on the altar had been completely overwhelmed.
"Stop." Li Wei made a move to stop moving forward.
"His Royal Highness Yu, the battle in the altar is hot, why don't we--"
"Do you need your advice for me when doing things?" Li Wei said, looking at the altar where the fighting was sneering: "The people who come to worship today are all old ministers of the elder brother. These old stubborn people naturally die as much as possible... So wait a little longer, when they are almost infected, we will go in and get rid of the disease with justification."
"His Royal Highness Yu." A man in black robe wearing a bronze beast's face came from the rain outside the altar.
Li Wei said proudly: "After today, you should call me His Majesty the Emperor."
"But I just received a bad news." The man in black robe said in a deep voice: "Your nephew, the crown prince of the current dynasty, has been taken away by Lin Xiaofeng. He must have left the north gate now."
"What!" Li Wei was shocked, "I have come so quickly, but I still let them escape. Mom, I knew that this scholar came to Chang'an not just to teach the prince!"
"He also took away the Emperor's Sword Dragon Abyss. In this way, the imperial seal is probably on them."
"It's outrageous, then why don't you chase me!"
"Don't worry, King Yu, everything is in my control. Your Highness's most important thing is to deal with the people in Taichung who are cutting deer. Don't let the people in the world hold the handle and say that you murder your brother and usurp power and seize the throne."
"Why do you need to teach me when doing things? Go and recover Longyuan and the imperial seal quickly. If it is done, I... Oh no, after I ascend the throne, I will be appointed as the national teacher!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The man in black robe thanked him, left a look of contempt, turned around and walked away on the rain.
...
...
At Xicheng Wharf, due to heavy rains for several days, the water level of the Huangjiang River has spread across the cordon, and countless cargo ships are placed side by side in safe havens.
Yan Yunting stood at the bow of a cargo ship holding a sword, looking tightly at the direction of the west city. As the sky gradually became brighter, an extremely unknown sign gradually climbed into his heart.
"Mr. Lin is planning, you don't have to worry too much. It's still a long time before noon." Ning Ruowei walked onto the bow of the boat with an umbrella and took the initiative to shelter Yan Yunting from the wind and rain.
Yan Yunting shook his head and said, "It's not until noon. If he still has a future before dawn, you can take the boat and leave first."
"You won't leave?"
"I will feel even more uneasy after leaving."
As the wind and rain are swaying, the darkness is dispelled by the morning light, and the heaven and earth are gradually reflected.
"Dadada..." A sound of horse hooves suddenly came from afar. Lin Xiaofeng took the prince and galloped towards the dock in the morning light.
"These scholars have never disappointed people in their work." Yan Yunting smiled and waved to Lin Xiaofeng.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaofeng shouted loudly: "Down the ship quickly! Down the ship quickly!"
