Chapter 353: Stirring up the muddy waters
Although the scene was controlled by the Imperial Guards, they avoided the trouble and immediately escorted the emperor and the officials to Rongyuan.
Yan Mu was left behind by the large army because of his unstraight legs and feet. He walked through the alley alone, and the moonlight pulled his shadow very long.
There was a rustling sound behind him, and Yan Mu pulled the corner of his mouth and continued to walk slowly.
When he walked to a fork in front, he disappeared at an extremely fast speed. The person following him hurriedly followed him and arrived at the fork in the road. Before he could see clearly, the next moment, a knife had hit the neck of the visitor.
Yan Mu's overly cold face appeared behind the person who came, "Your Highness, have you followed me all the way, what have you discovered?"
This person is the King of England Leng Yuxian!
His face flashed with astonishment, and then he sneered, "Why should I call you the Seventh Prince, Yan Shuai or Zhenbei?"
"Whatever you like."
"It's better to..."
The next moment, Leng Yuxian suddenly separated Yan Mu's hand, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand turned around, and the sharp blade stabbed towards Yan Mu. Yan Mu was moving faster, and he almost didn't see his figure avoiding the sword. The knife in his hand cut across Leng Yuxian's neck.
The two of them trembled close together for dozens of rounds, unable to hurt each other a minute, and then slowly opened the distance and separated by a few steps.
But this is the people of the King of England chasing him. More than a dozen soldiers wearing armor were all fierce and they were obviously masters.
A fierce look flashed in King Ying's eyes, and he pulled the corners of his mouth. Then, the next moment, dark shadows gathered in the dark. He looked at one place and saw arrows with cold light facing him.
He is the prey to be caught!
"I am worthy of being the King of Zhenbei. I underestimate you." Leng Yuxian snorted coldly.
Yan Mu raised his hand, and the next moment, the man in black in the dark quickly wiped away the traces as if the tide was ebbing.
Leng Yuxian was silent for a moment, and raised his hand to let his subordinates retreat.
"Do you know why I followed you?"
Yan Mu turned around and continued to walk slowly out the alley, "What did Your Highness Xu Ying see?"
Leng Yuxian looked at the person walking in front of him. He was obviously a prisoner and a cripple man, but he could stir up a storm, which made him frightened.
"I saw you approaching the prince."
“See only this?
"You have an arrow in your hand."
"so what?"
"That arrow penetrated into the prince's chest."
Yan Mu looked at Leng Yuxian with his head, "I promise you never saw this scene."
Leng Yuxian narrowed his eyes, "You want to say it's not you?"
"I think I'm doing it very secretly and it's impossible for anyone to see it."
Leng Yuxian's pupils shrank suddenly, "It's you!"
"I told you."|
"Why are you telling me that you are not afraid that I will report you?"
Yan Mu stopped and laughed softly, "Your Highness the King of Ying grabbed 10,000 stones of grain from Yuzhou. To put it in a small matter, it is just that Your Highness sympathizes with the soldiers and does things out of order. But to put it in a big way, Your Highness robs grain and ignores military discipline. What is your intention? Then just talk about it as casually as some people who want to defeat Your Highness."
"so what?"
"The prince was assassinated and the battle for the throne began, and some people would bite His Highness to death even more crazily. Instead of being mermaid meat, it is better to be fish meat from others, what do you think?"
"Is your purpose of killing the prince..."
"Help Your Highness the King of England seize the throne!"
In Rongyuan, Yan Mu walked in and stood behind all the civil and military officials, but saw them bowing their heads, as if they were sad about the death of the prince, but in fact they were all fighting against Xiaojiu.
When the crown prince dies, who killed it? What is the purpose? When the crown prince is gone, who can become the new crown prince? What is the emperor thinking? Who can regain the position of crown prince? The prince behind that prince is the strongest?
The death of the prince was aroused by one stone, and the undercurrent of the Northern Jin court began to surge.
Yan Mu lowered his eyes and wanted to escape from Beijin. The water was too clear, and only muddy water could cover people's eyes and ears.
The emperor has nine sons. In addition to the dead, there are now the fourth prince, King Rui, King Qing, King Sixth Prince, King Ying, and the ninth prince, and these five sons.
The principle is that if you have a title of a king, it means you have lost the qualification to fight for the throne, but now that the prince is dead, everything can be restarted.
All of them are in Rongyuan, and their hearts are probably bubbled.
At this time, the emperor came and just lost his eldest son. He seemed to have grown a lot, and his eyes were still red.
"Brother, you died so miserably! Can't you see you again? God, you are so cruel!"
Before the emperor could sit down, the ninth prince, who was standing at the end, suddenly howled, looking distraught. Fortunately, the servant next to him was holding it, otherwise he would have softened to the ground.
"Brother, how can you bear to ask your father to send a black-haired man to send a black-haired man? My younger brother is often taught by you. Scenes come to my mind here, and I feel that the world is lost and everything is sad. I really want to go with you..."
"Then let's go together!" The emperor spoke.
The ninth prince cried so much that he didn't hear the emperor's words, "Ah?"
The emperor looked at Jiu's son and sneered: "Don't you want to go with your elder brother?"
"My son is so sad..."
"Then let's go together to save your elder brother from being alone."
The ninth prince was stupid. Seeing that his father didn't seem to be joking, he was so scared that he burped, "Son minister...Son minister lost his composure!"
At that moment, he quickly retreated.
With the ninth prince setting an example, others dared not perform the scene of brotherly love again. The scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to show off.
After a long time, the leader of the Imperial Guard came forward and reported: "Your Majesty, you have caught the assassin!"
The emperor's pupils shrank: "Bring the person up!"
Captured?
Leng Yuxian frowned, and couldn't help but look at Yan Mu behind him. Seeing that he lowered his eyes, he looked calm and had no panic.
Could he have any arrangements?
He was soon taken down at this moment, but to everyone's surprise, he was a thin and weak scholar who was pushed forward by the Imperial Guards and seemed to be in a steadily walking.
When the emperor saw the scholar, his face sank.
"Is this the murderer you caught?"
Zhao An, the commander of the Imperial Guard, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, when we found him, he was holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and confessed to shooting the prince."
The scholar was pushed to kneel on the ground, and the emperor looked at him.
"You really shot the prince?"
The scholar lowered his head and shrank and did not speak.
"Doesn't you want your tongue to be cut off if you don't speak?" The emperor shouted angrily.
This sound made the scholar shudder, then slowly raised his head, swallowed a saliva, and nodded, "Yes, I shot it."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials below were gasping for a while.
It's really this scholar!
But just the murderer was caught?
Why do you think it's too simple?
"Why?" the emperor asked again.
The scholar took a deep breath and said, "I shoot casually, and whoever I shoot is the one I can only say that the prince is unlucky."
The emperor narrowed his eyes, "What a casual ejaculation, someone came..."
"Your Majesty, I want to cry for justice for the prince!"
"What?"
Since the murderer is crying for the murderer?
This... the ridiculous thing in the world!
The scholar kowtowed to the emperor, "The students are students who should have participated in the autumn examination this year. They only took our academic records because the Yuzhou garrison was empty and occupied, which made us unable to participate in the autumn examination. Twelve students came to Beijing to file a lawsuit, but they did not want to be chased by them. Now I am the only one left. I hate the court and the officials to protect each other, so I went to this extreme!"
