Chapter 71 Destiny
When the assassination occurred, Deng Yi was passing by the Taifu Mansion.
After arriving in Zhongshan County, Xiao Xun also established the Taifu Mansion, but he has not stepped in yet.
When passing by, the official in front of the car asked to stop and show him.
Deng Yi lifted the curtain of the car and took a look.
The mansion is even more luxurious than the capital. Although the owner has never been here, the gate is open, the door is full of people, and there are soldiers and guards outside the gate, and people are constantly coming in and out. Judging from the actions of handing over the famous post, they are guests coming to visit, and everything is like the Taifu Mansion in the capital.
"Taifu." The official said, "The prince said that everything was arranged according to the Taifu Mansion in the capital. If you go in and take a look, the furniture is almost the same."
Deng Yi wanted to laugh a little, but then put away his smile and said, "How can that be the same?"
Although he didn't go back to the Taifu Mansion in the capital, there was at least an old lady in the mansion, even if it was a home.
Now?
"The prince has been asking for information about the old lady." The official saw his face and whispered, "but there has never been any. I don't know if he was killed in the fire or arrested."
He said hurriedly again.
"But don't worry, if the court threatens the old lady, the prince will do his best to save the old lady."
Deng Yi smiled and said, "No, there is no need."
No need? The officials were shocked. A villain like Deng Yi could even ignore his own mother for the sake of power...
Deng Yi looked at the official and naturally knew what he was thinking, but there was no need to explain to him.
The fire may have really burned him to death, but it won't hurt his mother.
If the mother is arrested, she will not be pushed out to threaten her.
Others don’t know him, but Chu Zhao doesn’t know yet? He has given up his mother once, so he can naturally give up his second time. It is useless to use my mother to threaten him.
That girl wouldn't do such a thing.
Deng Yi lowered his gaze, no longer interested in seeing the Taifu Mansion put down the curtain. At this moment, several servants who had just nodded and bowed to the doorman to deliver famous letters and gift lists suddenly pulled out a spear from the gift box under his feet and stabbed Deng Yi's carriage.
Deng Yi saw a meteor-like light from the corner of his eyes. He instinctively leaned back, and the spear slid across the tip of his nose and nailed it to the carriage with a bang.
The next moment, there was a flash in front of me, and with a bang, the entire car burst.
"Taifu--"
"There are assassins--"
The grand Taifu Mansion fell into chaos in an instant. The people on the street screamed and scattered, and countless soldiers rushed from all directions.
Ground vibration.
......
......
When Xiao Xun arrived, there were already prevention and control on the streets.
The carriage was scattered on the ground, and the frightened horses had been killed by the soldiers. The corpses of more than a dozen people were scattered among the carriage and horse corpses.
Among them are Deng Yi's guards, and the assassin.
Xiao Xun looked at the person sitting on the steps outside the Taifu Mansion who could hardly recognize him, and asked worriedly: "Taifu, are you okay?"
Deng Yi's face was covered with blood and fireworks, his clothes were messy, and his arm was unnaturally bent.
Several doctors were wiping the package around him.
"Fortunately, my guards pounced on me to block the fatal attack for me." Deng Yi said, "just broke his arm."
"The county town is so tight that an assassin actually committed the murder!" Ning Kun shouted in a deep voice, "What is the identity of an assassin?"
The Bingwei stepped forward and dragged the three bodies over: "They have already sent troops to investigate with their famous posts from the Zhang family in Jicheng."
Xiao Xun said: "This identity must be fake."
Ning Kun thought it was not necessarily true, and couldn't help but whisper: "Criminal, I remember Lin and Zhang are in love..."
Xiao Xun glanced at him and said, "Let's talk about it after verification." He shouted to the officials around him in a deep voice, "No matter what the identity of the assassin was found, he would be punished as a rebellious person, and the clan was executed!"
The officials agreed in unison.
"Trial tutor." Xiao Xun looked at Deng Yi again, "Are you going back to the county government or to go back to the mansion to recuperate?"
He knew that Deng Yi was not interested in the Taifu Mansion, so he asked.
Deng Yi said: "It's the same everywhere. Since you are here, just go home."
Xiao Xun nodded, and the officials hurriedly asked someone to pick up the sedan chair and helped Deng Yi to sit on it. Teams of soldiers rushed into the mansion first. There were already soldiers in the mansion, and there were only seven or eight outsiders except for the servants of the Taifu Mansion.
They knelt in the corner with trembling trembling and were guarded by the soldiers.
Seeing Deng Yi and his group come in, some people couldn't help but shout, "Taifu, we are wronged." Others also shouted, "Taifu, we are not accomplices."
They knelt on their knees and kowtowed.
Deng Yi looked at him as if he didn't hear him.
Xiao Xun was attracted to see it.
"I was the one who had been waiting in the gatehouse to see the Grand Tutor." The guard said hurriedly.
When the three people who assassinated Deng Yi appeared, some people had already sat in the gatehouse of the Taifu Mansion. After the assassination, they were taken care of.
Xiao Xun withdrew his gaze and turned to Ning Kun and ordered: "These people are also investigated. Also, the guards of the Taifu Mansion doubled..."
As he spoke, he felt the light from the corner of his eyes slowed down, and saw the people on the kneeling rolling on the ground like balls...
Everything seemed to be slow, but it was soon. The seven or eight people broke away from the guards of the soldiers in an instant, and rushed towards them like an eagle spreading its wings.
"Your Highness, be careful--"
"Your Highness——"
Xiao Xun felt his mind buzzing, his vision became shaking, and there were people everywhere, as if he wanted to isolate him from the world.
But with a puff, an official in front of him was stabbed through the neck with a knife.
Xiao Xun was pulled back to this world in an instant. He smelled a strong smell of blood and saw the tip of the knife with a cold light.
assassin.
These assassins came to him!
The previous assassination of Deng Yi was just bait.
When the Taifu is assassinated, he will come to visit him no matter what.
As long as he appears and approaches him, they can assassinate.
Another puff sound, as if a wall was blocking his body. Xiao Xun saw blood splashing behind the wall.
Tieying only waved a sword in his hand, from top to horizontal and then to obliquely slashed down, but three assassins were killed.
He pressed against Xiao Xun tightly, protected Xiao Xun tightly, and stretched his arm, and the long sword fell into the heart of another rushing assassin, who fell to the ground with a kneeling.
All this happened in the moment. Neither Ning Kun's face was still focused on listening to his words, while his other half was twisted and shocked.
Xiao Xun was in a mess and felt extremely at ease. Even if these assassins were elusive, Tieying would be safe.
But as soon as the thought flashed, a corpse on the ground suddenly slid and winded up like a snake, instantly sticking to Tieying.
Another slight sound, Xiao Xun saw an iron rod penetrated from Tieying's neck...
His gaze became slow again. As Tieying slowly knelt down, Tieying seemed to want to look back at him, but his neck was nailed by an iron chisel and could not move, and finally disappeared in front of him...
"Don't move."
A cold voice sounded in my ears and a cold touch came from my neck. Xiao Xun shivered and returned to the world.
In the blink of an eye, the world turns into hell.
There were corpses around him, and he seemed to be standing in a blood pool.
Ning Kun fell to the ground, not knowing whether it was death or alive, Deng Yi was also overturned and threw him on the ground, and was crushed by a soft sedan chair. Some of the officials fell to the ground and some crawled around the ground, layer by layer of soldiers and guards-
But it's like encountering a barrier that cannot get close to it.
This barrier is him.
"Let go of the prince—" the generals shouted angrily.
Xiao Xun heard a chuckle, and from the corner of his eyes he saw a smooth chin. When he was about to look again, his shoulders were hurt and the iron chisel penetrated. The pain came unexpectedly. Xiao Xun burst into tears and screamed in pain, and the person was hunched over.
Valley
"Retreat, back." Bagao's voice paused word by word, responding to Xiao Xun's scream.
The approaching soldiers seemed to be bounced away by invisible airbags and retreated.
At the same time, Xiao Xun was also pulled back by the other party - behind him was the hall of the Taifu Mansion, and he quickly retreated.
"You can't escape-"
"Snatch it quickly-"
The generals and soldiers rushed over again.
"If you dare to come in, I will kill him." The male voice shouted, then raised his foot and pounded the door.
The world seemed to be quiet for a moment.
Xiao Xun saw clearly that the person who was holding him was not a woman this time. The flash of thought made Xiao Xun extremely embarrassed and angry. Why was he kidnapped again?
This is a young man, taller than him and thinner than him, his face is a little gray. It is obvious that he has been pretending, but he still can't stop his familiarity.
Flying eyebrows and eyes, high nose bridge...
"Where did I see you?" Xiao Xun blurted out in pain.
The man in front of him smiled: "I? I have seen the prince's hero save the beauty with my own eyes."
The hero saved the beauty, Xiao Xun was slightly stunned, and the next moment, a female voice seemed to ring in his ears, "I don't have to worry about even if I drown, this is me and-"
"Ajiu!" Xiao Xun said.
Xie Yan smiled: "The prince still remembers me? As expected, I am outstanding and everyone can remember it."
Maybe he didn't remember him, Xiao Xun looked at him: "Is Chu Zhao asking you to kill me?"
Xie Yanlai raised his eyebrows: "I have another name, Xie Yanlai."
Xie Yan came! Xiao Xun was surprised. It turned out that he was Xie Yan came!
Of course he knew Xie Yanlai, and he knew before that Xie Yanfang's brothers were, but that was the case and didn't care. He was unified as a child of the Xie family, and Xie's family just stared at Xie Yanfang.
But the past two years are different, especially the Xie family's son captured the King of Xiliang alive.
This is not something that can be done by the surname Xie, but because of him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I noticed, this person appeared in front of him-
Xiao Xun lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the iron rod that was pressing against his neck.
"Is Xie Yanfang asked you to come?" he said, and said again, "Young Master Xie, do you know that if you kill me, you will never be able to escape."
Xie Yan came and said nothing.
Xiao Xun turned his head slightly and looked at him: "Mr. Xie, I think with your current merits, you can have your own future."
Xie Yan came to laugh, laughing a little sarcastically.
"Ajiu——" Xiao Xun said.
As soon as he spoke, Xiao Xun felt a pain in his neck, and the next moment he was stagnant. He lowered his eyes and saw the iron rod that penetrated his neck, and blood fell on the gorgeous royal robe one by one.
It's so strange, was he killed?
How is that possible?
How could he be killed like this?
That's not how he died!
Xiao Xun's vision became blurred and became extremely clear. He clearly saw that he ascended the throne in a dragon robe. All the ministers bowed in the hall, and Deng Yi was also among them.
He scolded the rebel Xie in the court.
He returned to the harem, and Chu Zhao threw himself into his arms and looked reliant.
This is his destiny!
Xie Yanfang had never approached him, let alone Xie Yan, who was nothing!
He shouldn't have died like this.
This is not his fate!
how so?
He must be dreaming.
Xiao Xun slid down against Xie Yanlai's body and fell to the ground. His consciousness gradually became blurred, and the sounds in his ears were also far and near.
"Don't call me Ajiu. You guys are so annoyed that they are all day long and guessing the benefits."
"In your heart, there is no worldly things that are not subject to conditions and seek benefits. Is it just what I want to do and what should I do?"
Xie Yanlai frowned and said, looking at Xiao Xun who was kneeling on the ground.
"You are almost ready to fight for power and profit. People in the world should not be so unlucky. They live in pain and die in pain."
He stood a step, and Xiao Xun, who had lost his support, plunged to the ground, motionless, and blood spread under him.
Xie Yanlai looked quietly for a moment, withdrew her gaze and walked around the hall.
He is more familiar with the living room of the Taifu Mansion than Deng Yi. These days, they have come and go in and out to deliver gifts through various identities, and then placed the place they prepared...
He reached out to explore the porcelain bottle on the shelf, and his fingers were dyed black.
He looked at the table, chairs and benches again, and his eyes were filled with oil.
He looked at the bricks on the ground again, and the black and gray spread.
Actually, I didn’t expect to meet Deng Yi today, but they have been waiting for today.
Xie Yanlai took out a fire squeak from his arms, stood in front of the wide screen, looked inside the room, and raised the fuse.
The choking smell of smoke spread in the hall, mixed with the sound of thunder.
"Let go of the prince—"
"What do you want?"
"Whatever you want is just mentioned-"
The officials outside the hall were shouting loudly that the soldiers surrounded the place without any traffic, and the soldiers outside were also surrounding the Taifu Mansion, the street, the half of the city, and the entire city.
An official standing under the steps sniffed: "What's the smell?"
He subconsciously looked up ahead, with a loud bang in his ears, and fire in front of him soared into the sky, and the heat waves rushed towards him, and the official screamed and fell backwards.
Deng Yi was being held by a soldier to retreat to avoid affecting Xiao Xun. At this moment, he looked back and saw the fire flashing on his face, and the house in front of him was engulfed by the fire, burning and shattering—
Just like he had been in the study of the Taifu Mansion in the capital.
......
......
Two farmers in a deserted field outside the city looked at the fireworks rising in the city. The fireworks were far away from them and didn't look very scary, but their faces turned red as if they were close to them and were burned by fire.
One grabbed the hoe and rushed towards the city, while the other grabbed him tightly.
"What are you doing!" he shouted, "Go away."
The farmer who was pulled down whispered in a silence: "What should I do if my master? I am the master--"
"Don't forget my master's instructions!" The farmer who pulled him shouted in a low voice, his eyes red, "What are we going to do!"
The farmer was pulled and bleeding was about to fall into his eyes: "That little master, little master, little master he--"
"Don't let me die in vain-" the farmer who was pulling him shouted, "Go--"
The two turned around and rushed towards the distance.
"Xiao Xun is dead—"
"Xiao Xun is dead—"
......
......
The news of Xiao Xun's death spread almost instantly. As soon as the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion had time to help the second prince to the army, before the opportunity to go to various places to report the new king, the imperial army rushed from four directions like a tide.
I don’t know if it was because of the influence of the Han County family, or if Xiao Xun died, he felt that the situation was hopeless. Many families and even officials from the prefectures and counties turned against each other. In less than a month, the court’s troops were unstoppable and approached Zhongshan County.
