Chapter nine hundred and forty-four: soldiers are not bloody
The Gap Technique traveled with the wind and sent him quietly to Fengluan Palace. The moment the technique dissipated, Xiao Qianye's foot slipped and he was surprised to find that he was on the beam. If he hadn't adjusted his balance in time,
, he almost fell down and fell in front of everyone!
There was no time to scold King Chi. He immediately steadied his steps. The sword spirit drew sword energy around his body to hide his aura. The palace maid and eunuch below knelt on the ground. The more nervous and incoherent they became, unable to explain the bizarre situation just now.
What happened was described clearly. The more the emperor listened, the more impatient he became. He waved his hand and ordered everyone to be sent to the Ministry of Justice for strict interrogation. The frightened slaves cried and begged for mercy, while Guo Youan and Prince Xian had different expressions.
After thinking about it, they all suspected that the other party had done this, but they couldn't figure out the cause and effect from the unbelievable situation in front of them. After the same silence, one of them simply pulled up a chair and sat down, not forgetting to be nice and angry at the same time.
He comforted the furious emperor.
Xiao Qianye carefully observed everyone in the palace. After the slaves who cried until they were exhausted were taken away, the entire Fengluan Palace fell into a strange tranquility. The guards' expressions were different, and they kept looking at each other with care and concern.
They exchanged glances.
Guo Youan personally handed the emperor a cup of warm tea, and his sharp eyes finally revealed the murderous intent that had been hidden for many years. The emperor was furious and took it without raising his head. Just when he was about to drink it all, Prince Xian didn't
He pressed the emperor's wrist calmly and reminded lightly: "Your Majesty, since the assassin has come, don't touch anything in the palace now to avoid fraud."
The emperor raised his eyes dullly. He was his uncle after all. He nodded obediently and put down the tea cup. Guo Youan smiled calmly and immediately called his men to make a pot of new tea. The two assistant ministers looked at each other and smiled.
Pretendingly, he began to check everything in Fengluan Palace. It was not until they accidentally got together again that Guo Youan finally couldn't restrain his suspicion for so many years and asked quietly: "The whereabouts of the Empress Dowager are unknown, will the prince be worried?"
Prince Xian obviously did not pay attention to such a straightforward statement, but asked calmly: "The Queen Mother is the beauty selected by the Prime Minister for the late Emperor. Her whereabouts are unknown, shouldn't you be worried?"
"Hmph." Guo You'an snorted with disdain. He suddenly became interested and took down the wooden niche on the shelf and handed it over. He explained with unfinished meaning, "I specially ordered someone to develop this kind of pill for the Empress Dowager. Just a little bit is enough."
It can make a woman drunken and dreamy, but this drug needs to be taken by a man to feel happy, otherwise the fire will lose its fuel and the pain will be doubled. Alas, it is a pity that she is the late emperor's favorite concubine, which man dares to touch it? Haha."
Prince Xian's eyes were still cold, and only a smile that no one could understand appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he sarcastically said: "Prime Minister, why don't you keep this good medicine for yourself? After all, you are getting stronger and you still have a lot of fun years to enjoy."
Woolen cloth."
There was an invisible deepness in the eyes of both of them. Now that they had spoken, there was no need for pretentious acting. Prince Xian turned his head slightly and saw the guard carrying the new tea taking out the long robe in his hand as he approached the emperor.
The sword, the bright sword light and sword shadow shot out from every corner of Fengluan Palace at this moment. Guo Youan chuckled and held Prince Xian's wrist, watching the emperor's head roll directly to his feet, bloody
The smell filled the entire palace within seconds.
Guo Youan let out a long sigh of relief. He never expected that things would develop so smoothly. The slits in his narrowed eyes like an old fox rose with ecstasy. Even his usual calm tone was out of tune for a moment: "Your Majesty is really courageous. He knows that there are
Are you cheating, or are you willing to take the risk to accompany the emperor for the sake of the emperor’s safety?”
Prince Xian was calmer than he thought. He didn't even shake off the hand that was grabbing him hard. His eyes looked at the other person momentarily, as if he could see through everything, and asked in an almost indifferent tone: "
The emperor is your great-grandson, do you really want to kill him?"
"Great-grandson?" Guo You'an murmured these two words, eliciting a sarcastic smile, "The prince is really ridiculous. Since ancient times, the emperor's family has been ruthless. Didn't you also kill your own brother and try to force the late emperor to pass the throne to you? If it weren't for my chess
What a clever move. Now the world has long fallen into the hands of the prince. At this time, are we talking about family ties? It's ridiculous and crazy."
There was an indescribable look in Prince Xian's eyes, and he suddenly smiled: "If we talk about killing people, it was the Prime Minister who killed my mother, concubine, and eldest brother first, and then I killed your daughter and grandson by any means necessary."
Guo Youan's eyes suddenly opened, and the atmosphere suddenly condensed. When the truth that he had been suspicious of for many years was finally revealed calmly from the other party's mouth, even the prime minister of the three dynasties, who had made countless achievements, still shuddered for a moment. Prince Xian said unnecessarily
Turning his head, he even raised his hand to grab his hair, and continued with his lips and teeth lightly clasped together: "If the Prime Minister must settle this old score, two lives will be equal to two lives, right? But what about the death of my father?"
Who should blame it? There have been rumors over the years that I forced the late emperor to death in order to fight for power, but what is the reality? I am afraid that only the prime minister who was guarding the bed back then really knows everything, right?"
Guo Youan let go of his hand, and the turbulent emotions just now disappeared quickly, and he replied nonchalantly: "That's two lives versus three lives. I still owe the prince one life."
"Is it really just a life?" Prince Xian looked at him with hostile eyes, his eyes even more filled with sadness than before. Guo You paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered a name that had long been forgotten in the dust, and his eyes suddenly opened.
There was a kind of disdain and cynicism in it, and a playful ridicule, "The prince wants to ask about Lieutenant Lu, right? If he hadn't sent you to Fan Yang privately back then, you would have been reunited with your mother-in-law and eldest brother. Humph, I
I didn't bother to argue with him at first, but he was so ignorant that he dared to propose to the late emperor that he should be crown prince. He must die."
The look in Prince Xian's eyes slowly calmed down, and he finally closed his eyes silently. The traces of sadness seeped into the memories of the past, bit by bit, and no one could complain.
"Isn't it time for the prince to confess his relationship with the Empress Dowager?" Guo Youan broke the silence, with a playful smile on his lips, "She is your father's favorite concubine. The prince is really lawless and committed immoral incest.
Things?"
"Are you the lawless person?" Prince Xian did not answer his question. Guo Youan laughed loudly, glanced at him and replied calmly: "From now on, I am the law and I am heaven."
"Even the sky in Dunhuang is the prime minister's sky?" For some reason, Prince Xian suddenly changed the subject. Guo Youan looked at him again as if he had just woken up from a dream, and added, "Dunhuang is nothing. What I want is the vast territory of the Central Plains.
If you can exchange a small Dunhuang for the entire Central Plains, what's wrong with losing that piece of sky? Wen Zhaoqin is a wooden fish head. As long as he is a little smarter, I would still cherish his talent and be willing to keep him under my command. It's a pity that he is stubborn.
Ling, I can only give up on him and choose the more obedient Lei Gongmo."
Prince Xian was unhurried and unhurried, as if he was deliberately tempting Guo Youan to tell the truth: "Lei Gongmo's ability is far different from Wen Zhaoqin's. Even if the Prime Minister's ally Huihe Khan does not invade, there are still the Western Regions outside Dunhuang who are eyeing him.
If the country’s borders are not peaceful, how can the Central Plains be peaceful?”
The excited Guo Youan sneered disdainfully: "That is what Huihe Khan should be concerned about. I only agreed to cede Dunhuang to him, but I didn't agree to help him defend against the countries in the Western Regions. If he hadn't introduced me to me
I don’t want to give him this fat piece of Dunhuang after Shanhaiji.”
Disdainful laughter flowed out of Prince Xian's mouth without concealment. He held his forehead, and from the first low chuckle, he couldn't help laughing loudly at the end, which made the proud veterans of the three dynasties in front of him slightly startled.
Just turning his head slightly, his expression suddenly changed drastically - on the diagonal of the main hall, the frightened emperor was jumped directly to the beam by a strange man carrying clothes, and the killers he carefully arranged were already dead.
He fell down in another place. The bloody scene outlined by the bright swords and sword shadows just now was actually his men who were killed by this man!
What's going on? He just saw the emperor's head rolling to his feet! He saw the killers completing the task perfectly with a lightning-fast offensive!
Guo Youan took a breath of cold air and hurriedly lowered his head to look for it. All the scenes of victory had disappeared. A bloody human head stared with disbelieving eyes. Before he could even utter a exclamation, his throat had been cut by a sword.
Where is the emperor? This is clearly the guard who took action just now!
Looking more closely, Guo Youan finally saw the strange man opposite him - short white hair, holding a sword spirit. He was the man with the "arrogance of the gods" that he mentioned in his mouth. Who was he? He had already killed the guards of Fengluan Palace last night.
All of them were replaced, just waiting to bring the emperor and Prince Xian here today to catch them all, and then blame everything on the assassin. Why did a stranger suddenly appear and save the emperor at the critical moment?
He had never believed in ghosts and gods, but the moment the man across from him jumped back to the ground with the emperor, he really felt some wonderful power sweeping through the entire Fengluan Palace like invisible waves.
He could even feel the shocked gazes of the civil and military officials by the lake looking in this direction, as if they could clearly hear the conversation between the two from a long distance away.
At this moment, Guo You'an, who had been strategizing step by step for decades and holding the emperors of the three dynasties in the palm of his hand, was startled and realized that he had made a fatal mistake - he actually told everything in his own words and sent himself to the prison with his own hands.
guillotine!
The situation suddenly changed in just an instant. The next moment, the Lekong Sword was accurately pressed against Guo Youan's throat. The golden thread in Xiao Qianye's palm climbed up Guo Youan's body like a dense net. Almost at the same time,
A strange light shattered the window from outside the palace and blocked the two of them. Xiao Qianye turned his wrist continuously and rushed out to push back the killers who were trying to break into the savior. Then his sword technique quietly changed, and he gave a sharp rebuke to the outside.
The lake formed a solid barrier and trapped everyone inside!
