"No problem, we'll start making arrangements right away." The rickety old man agreed.
Spying on information is what they are good at, and the snakes and rats in Dazan Village are one of their spies.
Old Qingtang King nodded, and when he was about to leave and return to the side hall, he suddenly remembered something and stopped and said: "I remember that the clay head of the ghost king of Yama seems to have been sent to the house by Batu.
Are you from here?"
"Yes, that's him."
When King Lao Qingtang met with Batu, the rickety old man was hiding in the dark to guard him, so he naturally knew about this.
"It seems that the third child has really been busy in the past few days since he returned to the royal city. Even the commander of the patrol camp was bribed by him. I don't know how many other nobles and generals were bribed by him... It's really a good trick.
Yes, you are worthy of being mine."
Old Qingtang King grinned.
It's just that this smile looks very weird and sinister, making it hard to tell whether he is really happy or angry.
"It would be good for the third child to bribe more people now. When I take away his body, those people he bribed will become my supporters. But Batu is a person who must not be kept. His role as
The commander of the patrol battalion has a very special position, and I also need to scare the monkeys and scare the people who have been bribed by the third child, so that they will be more honest and not cause trouble at the critical moment before I get a new life! The most important thing now is to ensure that I
If you can successfully seize the body, nothing can go wrong."
"Shall we kill him?" The rickety old man volunteered.
"No." Old Qingtang King pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You don't need to do anything, let the people sitting in the side hall kill him. I want to take this opportunity to see who else among them,
It’s double-minded.”
The rickety old man didn't say anything. He cupped his hands and slowly retreated to the darkness in the corner of the room, quickly becoming one with it.
So, when the old King Qingtang returned to the side hall, he was alone.
Everyone in the side hall, except Qin Shaoyou, was a little shocked and surprised.
But the old King Qingtang didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask. They could only bury this question deep in their hearts.
Just at this time, a servant reported that Batu, the commander of the Northern Patrol Battalion, had arrived.
It stands to reason that among the Sifang patrol camps, the Yamen of the northern patrol camp is closest to Beicheng District.
But now, the commanders of the three patrol battalions in the southeast and west were already sitting in the side hall, and Batu arrived belatedly.
Given Old Qingtang King's suspicious character, it would be strange not to make any guesses about him.
However, the old King Qingtang did not show any dissatisfaction and just asked his servants to bring Batu over.
Before Batu entered the mansion, he saw soldiers from three other patrol battalions who had already completed the defense around the Seventh Prince's Mansion. He knew that he was the last to arrive, so as soon as he entered the side hall, he knelt on the ground and shouted
guilty.
"Your Majesty, I am too late to save you. I will be punished by death..."
The old King Qingtang looked at him with squinted eyes and asked in a cold voice: "Why are you so late?"
Batu was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't dare to raise his head, pressed his forehead to the ground, and replied in a trembling voice: "After receiving the news of the attack on the palace, I quickly drove past, but I encountered someone on the way.
Several waves of interference from ghosts hitting the wall hindered the speed..."
The old King Qingtang was already suspicious of him, but now that he saw his trembling appearance, his doubts became more intense. He suddenly spoke, interrupting Batu's defense, and asked: "What horse are you riding?"
"ah?"
Batu was stunned, obviously not expecting that the 'Seventh Prince' would care about what horse he was riding at this time.
Although he couldn't figure out why, he didn't dare to reveal it, so he could only say hesitantly: "It's just... it's just an ordinary war horse in the army."
The old Qingtang King's face sank and he shouted sternly: "Ask the generals and commanders here, which one is not riding a good horse or a BMW? You are riding an ordinary war horse. No wonder you can't break through ghosts and walls. No wonder you are the last to arrive!"
If you ride an ordinary war horse, you are not qualified to be the commander of this patrol battalion! Someone, please strip off his official robe and chop off his head!"
Batu was dumbfounded.
I'm riding an ordinary war horse. Shouldn't you praise me for my integrity and the unity of my officers and soldiers? Why do you want to kill my head? Strip me of my official robes?
Not only him, but in the side hall, except for Qin Shaoyou, the city guards, the generals and commanders of the patrol camp were all shocked. They couldn't understand why the 'Seventh Prince', who had always been gentle before, suddenly got rid of something.
Ma Er violently killed people?
Only Qin Shaoyou understands that riding a horse is just an excuse.
Even without a war horse, Old Qingtang King would have ordered someone to kill Batu just because he entered the side hall with his left foot first.
After all, Old Qingtang King had already concluded that Batu had been bribed by Haibulu, and wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and use Batu's death to frighten Haibulu's group so that they would not dare to mess around for the time being.
So if he is put at night, Batu will undoubtedly die.
Although he knew the intention of the old Qingtang King, Qin Shaoyou did not take action rashly.
Like the other generals and commanders in the side hall, he looked surprised and looked like he didn't understand why the 'Seventh Prince' would issue such an order.
"Batu colluded with the demons, causing evil spirits to cause trouble in the palace! If you don't hurry up and take him down with me, what are you waiting for?"
As the old Qingtang King roared again, Qin Shaoyou's expression suddenly dawned, he jumped up from his chair and pounced on Batu.
When they entered the house, their weapons were taken away. Although there were still a lot of weapons and equipment hidden in Qin Shaoyou's body that had not been found, he could not take them out and use them at this time. He just released his blood energy and turned it into
An air blade struck Batu who was kneeling on the ground.
At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Batu, I didn't expect that you would collude with the demons and attempt to murder the king. Today I will clean up the patrol camp and kill you, the traitor!"
At this moment, Batu was still in shock, and question marks emerged one after another in his head: Am I colluding with the demon? Am I trying to murder the seventh prince? How come I don’t know about these things?
He didn't expect that someone would actually attack him.
Batu, who was unaware for a moment, failed to dodge Qin Shaoyou's air blade and was slashed in the back.
As blood spattered out, Batu came to his senses and immediately controlled his muscles to close the wound to stop the bleeding.
Immediately afterwards, Batu turned around with a roar, separated Qin Shaoyou's offensive, and at the same time raised his foot to kick him away.
Of course, this is the result of Qin Shaoyou deliberately concealing his strength.
After all, the real leader of Dazan only has a sixth-grade cultivation level. Even if he has improved recently, it is still very difficult to defeat Batu, a fifth-grade warrior in a head-to-head encounter.
"Your Majesty, I have never done any of these things."
After kicking Qin Shaoyou away, Batu turned around and roared angrily at the old Qingtang King, looking like a madman.
However, this scene did not scare the old King Qingtang. He asked coldly: "Are you accusing me of slandering you? You should know what you have done!"
At the same time, Old Qingtang King shouted at the other two patrol battalion commanders and several city guard generals: "What are you waiting for? Either kill him with me, or help him kill me, make a decision quickly!"
Hearing this, the other two patrol battalion commanders and several city guard generals did not dare to hesitate any longer and rushed towards Batu in succession.
Seeing this scene, Batu understood that he might have to confess here today.
He also became fierce, gritted his teeth, and flew towards the old Qingtang King.
"Since you won't let me live, then die with me!"
Batu roared with a ferocious expression, as if he wanted to die with the old Qingtang King.
But he doesn't really want to die together.
In Batu's eyes, the 'Seventh Prince' smelled strongly of medicine and was obviously seriously injured.
With such a close distance, Batu was confident that he could capture the 'Seventh Prince' and use him as a hostage to escape.
When the time comes, whether it is taking the 'Seventh Prince' to join the Third Prince, or killing the 'Seventh Prince' and going up the mountain to become a bandit, there will be too many ways to survive.
