C197

In the morning of the second day of the sixth month of the first quarter of the year (908), the Son of Heaven of Changan, Cheng Fugui, with eight hundred imperial guards, had already arrived at the Lintong Pass. Along the way, flags were fluttering on both sides of the road. The embroidered belts were swaying in the wind, and the imposing manner they gave off was quite spectacular. General Ye led the way, right in the middle of the group, straight to the team of the Son of Heaven that was in front.

Very quickly, Ye Wuhai approached the Heavenly Emperor, then he jumped down from the horse and bowed to the True Dragon Tian Zi who was on the white horse: "This subject, Ye Wuhai, has come late. Please forgive me."

"Hahaha!" General Ye, if it wasn't for the fact that our spirit and physique are strong, do you think we would be able to come here Hunt House to hunt? "

"The emperor is used to staying in the palace. Now that he's out at the palace, it's natural that he'll feel a sense of novelty."

"That's right!" General Ye. It is said that one cannot overcome the cold when placed on high. I have already felt that it is too difficult, too difficult, to be able to stabilize the throne of the Emperor. "

Hearing the words that the Emperor was worrying about, Ye Wuhai was just about to say something when he suddenly saw someone reporting, "Your majesty, the capital city's commandant, Li Jun, is asking for an audience."

Hearing this news, the Son of Heaven immediately realized that there must be a military aircraft in the capital. He immediately ordered, "Please enter, Lieutenant Li."

After a while, Li Jun Lei Li walked into the palace with big strides. When he saw the Son of Heaven, he couldn't wait and said: "Your majesty, Marshal Zhu has sent a subordinate to ask Your majesty to immediately draft a summoning letter and send General Yang Neng to suppress and defend Six Pang Mountain."

"Oh! It's this. " The Son of Heaven stood up and said, "Actually, I met General Yang on Tongjing Avenue. On account of his meritorious service to the south, I have already sent word for him to settle down in the capital. "Isn't it a bit too hasty for him to go and take revenge for Bei Mu's disturbance at the Six Pang Mountain area?" In truth, those words were just an excuse by the Son of Heaven, Cheng Fugui. When did he ever meet General Yang? It was just that he already knew that Yang Neng had moved a [Class] Grandmaster back to the capital.

"Your majesty," Li Jun said as she looked at the Son of Heaven with unease, "The Prime Minister Chen and General Yang have a close relationship, and the Emperor is not in the capital right now. If the Emperor does not immediately order Yang Neng to go to the distant town, Six Paths, the Emperor will not be able to return to the capital."

The Son of Heaven's eyes lit up when he heard that. He said, "What? Do they dare to rebel?"

"Your majesty, Marshal Zhu sent me here to warn the emperor not to be careless."

At this time, Ye Wuhai, who had been listening at the side, couldn't help but stand up and walk towards the Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, Lieutenant Li's words are true. For people like Chen Tian, the Emperor must be on guard. "

"Oh? You think so too? " The Son of Heaven turned to look at Ye Wuhai. Therefore, Ye Wuhai continued to explain: "Actually, Chen Tian's actions are still unfathomable. I keep thinking that this person has evil intentions, that there are a lot of things that are planned by him behind the scenes, and it's just that I'm unable to find any clues about him."

"Hm!" Since the two of you have reminded me of this, I shall let it pass in the future. "Alright, I will immediately write the edict and order General Yang to guard the six plates, so as to not have anything to do with Chen Tian."

Therefore, the Son of Heaven wrote the edict on the spot and stamped it with the Imperial Jade Seal of the Son of Heaven, telling Lieutenant Li to send it to the capital as soon as possible. At this point, with the sudden worries, the Son of Heaven could finally relax and go hunting.

The next morning, June 3rd. The sky was bright. The Son of Heaven led a group of imperial guards and galloped through the vast fields of Hunt House, chasing after a herd of wild animals in front of them. Several arrows shot out and several deer fell to the ground, dead. A group of flying horse swept past, and a few imperial guards stooped down to carry their prey onto the back of a horse.

At this time, the Son of Heaven was still in front of them. He pulled his bow, nocked an arrow, and with a swoosh, another black-furred wild boar fell to the ground. Seeing this, the Son of Heaven was overjoyed. He once again nocked his bow, nocked an arrow, and looked for his next prey. Suddenly, the Son of Heaven noticed a monkey crawling and fleeing between the branches of a field of fire ahead. The Son of Heaven was overjoyed. He aimed and shot. In the blink of an eye, however, the cunning monkey had shot up a branch, the arrow sticking straight into the tree.

Everyone could see clearly, and they could not help but be surprised. They all gathered around the Son of Heaven who had stopped in front of his horse. Tang Song Prefecture laughed and said, "Your majesty, you're just a bit short of an arrow."

"That's right!" Cheng Fugui could not help but nod his head, "However, the slightest mistake would cause a thousand miles of difference."

"Your majesty, let me do it." He saw Dong Jianye, the Grand Marshal of the Hussars, standing on the left side of the Son of Heaven, drawing the string of an arrow and shooting it at the Mi Hou, who was still jumping —

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, they saw the arrow pierce through the Mi Hou, but this time, the arrow missed, only passing through his side. When he looked at the monkey again, it was already long gone.

"Ha!" and let it escape again. " The Son of Heaven could not help but laugh. "People say that foxes are cunning, but monkeys are also very cunning. They are simply smarter than humans!"

"Your Majesty is right." Liu Dehua, who was standing beside, couldn't help but say, "In such a big Hunt House, I'm afraid only this monkey would be able to escape one of the Emperor's arrows."

"No matter how crafty it is, we must catch it today. "Come, follow me." After the Son of Heaven had finished speaking, he led the group to the forest. Very soon, the group of people began to search the forest, causing all the birds and beasts to scatter in panic. Unknowingly, everyone had already entered the depths of the forest. However, they couldn't even find the shadow of a monkey. They only occasionally shot a few pheasants and ravens.

As the Son of Heaven walked slowly along the forest path, he heard several screams behind him. The Son of Heaven turned to look and saw that several of the knights had been killed by arrows. In a state of panic, a wild monkey flew down from the tree branches. In a split-second, it jumped behind Dong Jianye and Tang Song Prefecture's mounts, and they both died without a sound.

"Catch that wild monkey and shoot!" Fire the arrows! " Liu Dehua commanded the imperial guards at the back of the carriage. Suddenly, several sharp arrows shot out, all flying towards the wild monkey. Surprisingly, however, the wild monkey began to move around, grabbing several arrows and throwing them at the soldiers. Suddenly, the soldiers cried out in succession as they were shot and killed.

"AHH!" "Your majesty, leave quickly. There's an assassin, this is the Taihang wild monkey!" "Left-footed knight Chang You," Zang Ke Xing shouted as he pulled up the emperor's carriage and was about to retreat. At this moment, the wild monkey had already shed its monkey skin, nocked an arrow, and shot it into the throat of Zork!

"Ah!..." The Son of Heaven was alarmed. He looked around and saw that there was not a single bodyguard around him. At this moment, the Son of Heaven knew that he had met a powerful opponent and was unable to escape. He steeled his heart and asked sternly, "Who are you? Why are you disguised as a wild monkey to assassinate me? "

"Hahaha …" The assassin, who was dressed in black, laughed loudly. "You don't even know who I am? Well, I can make you understand. I am Zhao Gaoyun, known as the 'Taihang Wild Monkey' and 'General Double Hook'! "

"Ah?!" You are the Taihang Mountain Bandits! "

"Humph!" You're smart! However, the day of your death has come. " After Zhao Gaoyun finished speaking, he raised the "Little Li Flying Arrow" again and aimed it at the Son of Heaven Cheng Fugui who was on the white horse.

At this moment, the Son of Heaven knew that death was imminent. He helplessly closed his eyes. He only regretted that he shouldn't have come here to hunt, but who would have thought that there would still be people in the world that wanted to put him, the emperor, to death! However, from the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to accept defeat! He was the king of a country. Could it be that in this place, in this generation's Heavenly Son hunting forest, he had handed his life over to a bandit? No! He didn't want to die peacefully like this, he still had countless things to do. Rivers and mountains and beauties were so nostalgic, he should take another look.

Thinking of this, the Son of Heaven suddenly opened his eyes. Coincidentally, just as Zhao Gaoyun was about to raise his arrow, a large condor with black feathers shot out! The ground fell from the sky and continuously smashed into Zhao Gaoyun's head and the "Little Li Flying Arrow". Suddenly, Zhao Gaoyun became flustered by the sudden appearance of the object that had descended from the sky. He threw even the "Little Li Flying Arrow" to the ground!

With such a great opportunity, the Son of Heaven was extremely decisive and galloped away on his horse …

The key to life and death, misfortune, and success or failure, was just a moment; if one failed to grasp the key to fate, there would be no good result. The Son of Heaven, Cheng Fugui, was destined not to die. In the moment of life and death, he had endured "Life and death are decided by fate, wealth is given to the heavens!" The blessing of the heavens, accurately grasping this foreign opportunity, retrieved a life that should not have died.

He had to start from the beginning.

Instead of letting Ye Wuhai accompany them, the Son of Heaven had him patrol the Villa, intending to have him accompany them for the hunt another day. Thus, after Ye Wuhai led a group of soldiers to patrol the four sentries one by one, he led the rest of the soldiers towards the vast wilderness deep within the Villa.

"General Ye," Vice General Song Yuanming said as he sat in the saddle, "Today, the Emperor is hunting. It seems that they have already entered the forest. Otherwise, why can't I see them? "

"General Song, look —" Ye Wuhai pointed to the forest in front of them and said, "They must be there."

When Song Yuanming heard this, he looked over and saw a group of birds flying out in panic in the sky of the forest. Seeing this, Song Yuanming immediately took out his bow and arrows, and said: "They are in the dark, while we are fighting in the light, let's see who will reap the greatest rewards!" As he said this, Song Yuanming shot an arrow towards a approaching goose.

"Good archery!" General Song is truly a godly archer. " Ye Wuhai could not help but praise.

"General Ye speaks! Same here! Today, it's time for us to see the general show his hand. Don't you think so? " Song Yuanming shouted. All the soldiers around could not help but respond; they wanted to experience the archery of the general. Unable to endure the crowd's shouting, Ye Wuhai took down the bow and arrows, and laughed: "Alright! I'll shoot an arrow for you all on the spot. However, there's nothing to shoot at right now. "

When everyone heard this, they looked up and down the sky, but they couldn't see any birds or beasts. "General Ye, there is an old locust tree in front of us, just shoot its trunk."

At this time, the deputy general Qin Hanjun could not help but laugh: "General Song you actually had such a bad idea, to let General Ye shoot such a big dead target, how can you see through the true abilities of General Ye?"

"Cough!" That's true! " Song Yuanming thought for a while and said, "How about this? Let's continue hunting for a living target."

"Alright!" Ye Wuhai then pushed the situation and said: "Continue — —"

Thus, this group of people increased their speed. Before he could launch another shot, he heard Qin Hanjun shouting, "Look, it's a hare!" "A hare!"

At this time, Ye Wuhai, who was in the middle of the crowd, also noticed that there were a few grey yellow wild rabbits in the field running away. Therefore, he quickly nocked an arrow and aimed at a rabbit. "Whiz ~ ~" He shot an arrow.

"Oh — shot! "It's hit!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"General Ye," Song Yuanming caught up to Ye Wuhai and said, "There are still a few rabbits left. You and I will shoot two more. "

It couldn't be said that the two of them nocked their bows almost at the same time, aiming at the target in front of them. "Whoosh!" "Whiz!" Two arrows. Two rabbits were hit by the arrows and fell from the sky. At the same time, another wave of cheers came from behind them. Amidst the cheers, a few arrows landed around the two dead rabbits. Thus, a few flying horse s flew over and stooped down to pick up the hare that was shot with an arrow.

"General Ye is indeed good at archery! is truly comparable to Li Guang and Zhao Zilong back then. "

"General Song, actually, this level of archery is far inferior to that of a single person."

"Oh? Who is this person? " Song Yuanming was puzzled and asked.

"You should know that there's a person known as' General Double Hook 'in Taihang Mountains village!"

"Oh, you're talking about that 'Taihang Wild Monkey', Zhao Gaoyun. I've heard of him!"

"That's right." Ye Wuhai continued to speak: "This person's physique is short and dauntless, he carries a Ruyi Twin hooks, he is valiant and dexterous like an ape, his lightness skills are excellent, he is comparable to one of the" Seven Chivalry of the Central Plains "," Emei Fei "; not only that, he also has a unique skill, which is his archery skill. This person was capable of piercing through trees with every stride and being extremely accurate in every aspect. His archery skills were similar to that of the Three Kingdoms' famous general Zhao Zilong, which was why he called himself Zhao Gaoyun. It was just that although he was capable, it was a pity that he was a Taihang Mountain Bandits. "If we can take him back and make him work for the imperial government, he is indeed a great talent."

"General Ye, don't have any illusions about this kind of people. It was easy to change, but hard to change one's nature. A bandit is a bandit, why would they submit to the imperial government? "

"People can change. Good, can get worse; bad, can get better. Actually, the Taihang Mountain Bandits that they talked about, was only helping the poor to get rid of violence and safety. It was just that they did not walk the right path, so the imperial government should help them cultivate peace. "

"That's true!" Song Yuanming pondered and said, "Didn't the Son of Heaven enlist a gang of bandits before? There are indeed less cases of bandits in this world."

"It's a pity that just as those bandits wanted to turn evil around, most of them died tragically under Aliye Ku'er's sword. Otherwise, they will definitely be completely loyal to the imperial government. "

"Ouch!" General Ye, you and I only care about talking, the soldiers chased after them and left. "

"Hahaha!" Soldiers were lucky enough to hunt once and were lost in thought. Alright, I'll let them have a good time today. Let's see if we can catch any more of these big prey. "

"Alright!" Song Yuanming replied as he followed Ye Wuhai's horse and galloped forward.

In the middle of the line, a huge object came staggering through the air. It was a giant condor, and Ye Wuhai and Song Yuanming almost noticed it at the same time. So, the two of them nocked their bows and nocked their arrows, "Sou!" "Whiz!" With two sounds, the giant condor was struck by an arrow and fell into the forest …

At the same time, the soldiers who were chasing in all directions saw that the eagle had been shot down, and they cheered once more as they headed towards the dense forest to find their prey.

However, none of them had expected that this bird would save the Son of Heaven in such an emergency. Although it was two arrows and one condor, it unwittingly turned into a "double condor with one arrow". This was why people with great fortune were able to return to life upon death. If you ask why this is the case, someone will say that it requires saving God, God. In fact, if one sees through this "God" and "God," they are not in heaven or in the minds of men, but in the sum total of the various universal connections and relationships on earth and on earth, which is a subjective and objective synthesis factor. It is this interaction and reaction of universal connection and relation that determines the fortune of life and death. Ultimately, they are nothing more than "reactions of matter". For example, "murder and robbery", "two cars colliding", "air accident", "mine accident", "earthquake", "tsunami", "fire" and other natural disasters are all just "material reactions"; but this "material reactions", human beings can save, dissolve or even control, but some people just dare to take the risk of "going against the will of the world". The so-called "God" and "God" were the general connections and relations between people who should not die. They were subjective and objective comprehensive factors that would inevitably open the eyes and save people from danger!

As the Son of Heaven was about to flee the forest, he saw the soldiers who had come to hunt. With his signature light right in front of his eyes, he could finally escape danger and, with his own vigilance and his presence as an outsider, he was able to grasp his fate in time, using what he now referred to as "master, objective factors". This was what it meant by "not only the heavens are fearless, but also all sorts of lucky chances."

"Catch the assassin!" The Son of Heaven shouted at the soldiers who had just entered the forest.

As for the two deputy Generals under Ye Wuhai's command, Qin Hanjun and Qi Liangchen were surprised when they heard the Son of Heaven calling for help, and immediately led their men to help. When they passed the Son of Heaven behind them, they saw a black warrior with short sleeves coming at them. He was also holding a "Little Li Flying Arrow". He must be chasing the Son of Heaven.

"Quickly capture him!" Qin Hanjun called out to his men while brandishing his spear to meet them. In the blink of an eye, the group of officers and soldiers had surrounded the small, black-clad assassin to the point that not even a drop of water could leak out.

"AHH!" So it's the Taihang Mountain Bandits! " Qi Liangchen, the deputy general, had recognized the assassin and was about to take his trump card for the head. However, Zhao Gaoyun's body was short and nimble, she dodged to the side to dodge the mace, and just as she was about to shoot, Qin Hanjun's spear just happened to arrive in time, instantly knocking Zhao Gaoyun's "Little Li Feiyu Arrow" away. At the same time, the surrounding cavalrymen had already notched their bows, taking advantage of this chaos to shoot arrows at Zhao Gaoyun's legs and back.

At this time, the "Taihang Wild Monkey", Zhao Gaoyun, was no longer able to use his mighty and light skills; if he wanted to run, it would be even harder to escape! He felt his head break out in cold sweat and his legs go limp. Before he could draw the arrow from his leg, many of the soldiers had already dismounted and captured him.

"Bring him back to the palace, I want to interrogate him myself." The Son of Heaven, Cheng Fugui, shouted angrily.

Thus, all the generals escorted Zhao Gaoyun out of the forest. Coincidentally, Ye Wuhai and Song Yuanming arrived just in time. Seeing this, Ye Wuhai was shocked, "Who is the Emperor taking under arrest?"

"Who?" The Son of Heaven had a pained look on his face as he said, "It's an assassin!"

"Ah?!" Assassin? " Ye Wuhai was surprised, when he looked carefully at the black clad warrior, he realised that it was Taihang Mountain Bandits Zhao Gaoyun.

"Sigh!" I really did not expect that I would almost lose my life during this hunt, which was why I caught this wild monkey. What a loss! I will definitely chop him into a thousand pieces. "

"What is it? "Could it be that the imperial personal guards of the emperor are all …"

"They were all martyred. It was I who took back one of their lives. It is all thanks to your soldiers who managed to arrive in time to capture this madman in pursuit of me. "Alright, since this troop of soldiers has done well to protect the king, we shall take them all in as the king's servants." The deputy general Qin Hanjun and Qi Liangchen are the hussar general and the car-rider general who are by my side, respectively. "

"Thank you, your majesty!" The surrounding officers all expressed their gratitude in unison.

"Also," the Son of Heaven remembered something, and said, "I was able to save my life because of that large eagle that was shot at. May I know who this eagle-shooting hero is? "

"Reporting to the Emperor," Song Yuanming immediately replied, "This subject and the General Ye both shot at the same time."

"Good!" If all of you have rendered meritorious service to the emperor, I will naturally reward all of you. "However, the king's soldiers who have died in the forest, please bury them properly and set up the tombstone for them. I will always remember them." "

Just then, Ye Wuhai looked at Zhao Gaoyun, and asked the Son of Heaven: "Your majesty, how should we deal with this assassin?"

"I want to use his blood to pay tribute to the fallen heroes!"

"Your Majesty," Ye Wuhai stepped forward again and said, "This subject has something that I wish to discuss with Your Majesty.

"Ye Wuhai, don't pretend to be righteous," Zhao Gaoyun suddenly shouted from the side. "You stole everything that others love, and tricked Xiaofeng into leaving. "Now that I have fallen into your hands, if you want to kill me or scrape me, I will leave it to you. Don't cry like a cat and try to be merciful."

"Bastard, you still dare to talk back!" Qi Liangchen couldn't help but give Zhao Gaoyun a slap.

"Forget it!" The Son of Heaven stopped her, "Just as General Ye said. Bring the assassin back first and wait. "

Thus, Qin Hanjun and Qi Liangchen led the soldiers to lead Zhao Gaoyun, who and Song Yuanming accompanied Tian Zi as they slowly moved forward. As they were walking, the Son of Heaven couldn't help but sigh, "I never thought that there would be so many people in the world who would want to put me to death. Whether it is in court or in the wild, there is always a hidden danger. Is This Emperor that unpopular? "

"Your Majesty," Ye Wuhai said guiltily, "It was this subject who failed his duty to look favorably upon the Villa, allowing the bandits to infiltrate. "Your Majesty, please punish me!"

"Ai!" It's not your fault! It's not that our army is useless, but that the assassin is too crafty. " The Son of Heaven stopped and said, "Not to mention you, even I and the personal guards of the imperial army were fooled by a wild monkey."

"The emperor means …" Ye Wuhai was puzzled, and asked suspiciously.

"My personal guards and I will hunt down this wild monkey in the jungle, and it is disguised as an assassin!"

"Oh!" Ye Wuhai and Song Yuanming were deeply surprised. No wonder they did not notice any outsiders entering and exiting the Hunt House, it turned out that the assassin was extremely cunning, disguising as a wild monkey to sneak into the villa was truly unexpected. This "Taihang Wild Monkey", Zhao Gaoyun was truly bold, daring to come here alone to assassinate the Emperor.

"Your majesty," Song Yuanming could not help but say, "This subject will definitely torture him severely when I return. Let's see just who ordered him to do so."

"Alright then!"

"Speak!" Who sent you? Who sent you a letter from Taihang Mountains? "What is your Taihang Village up to?"

"Hm!" "The unruly subject, the thief, is the false king, and it is everyone's responsibility to punish him, so why would anyone order him to do so?"

"Humph!" "Even now, you're still so stubborn. Use your torture methods on me." Song Yuanming ordered angrily.

"Ah — ah — ah —"

Like an arrow, six days passed in a flash! Today was already the ninth of June, the Lishan's Emperor Palace.

"Yeletin! If you want to go to Taihang and convince Ruan Nanshan to submit to the imperial government, do you have any confidence? "

"This subject does not dare say that I have absolute confidence, but no matter what, this subject should take the risk. Therefore, during this period of time, this subject asks that the Emperor not kill Zhao Gaoyun for the time being.

"Alright then!" Cheng Fugui nodded.

It was at this moment that Song Yuanming stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, this Gao surnamed would rather die than confess to a crime in just a few days."

"Forget it!" Cheng Fugui did not mind, and said: "Actually, even if he is unwilling to admit it, we still know who ordered him to do so. Presumably, the General Song also knew that since Zhao Gaoyun was a member of the Taihang Village, who else could he be assigned to? So, Yeletin has to go to Taihang Mountains to persuade Clan Master Ruan Nanshan. "

"Ah?!" Song Yuanming looked at Ye Wuhai in surprise and turned to the Son of Heaven and said: "Your Majesty, Taihang Village is a lair of tigers and wolves, wouldn't it be a disaster if General Ye went forward? "I thought there must be a spy in the imperial court. Otherwise, how could the Taihang Mountains have known about the Emperor's hunt so soon?"

"General Song doesn't need to worry," Cheng Fugui smiled and said. "No matter what, Yeletin is still the son-in-law of the Patriarch of Ruan Village. We have already agreed that Yeletin and Ruan Xiaofeng will go together, and we presume that there will not be any great danger. "

Hearing that, Song Yuanming did not say anything, but he was still worried for General Ye.

At this time, the Son of Heaven asked: "When does Yeletin plan to leave?"

"Return to the Emperor, this subject will leave immediately tomorrow!"

"Good!" Yeletin will go there without worry, we will wait for your good news. "
