Luo Junyao's eyes lit up, and she looked at Subuka with extremely passionate eyes. However, she still remembered to be more low-key, holding the wine glass and lowering her head slightly, so that the big glass wine cup was in front of her.
The other people in the hall couldn't help but take a breath. The timid ones averted their eyes in fear, while the brave ones looked intently at the head on the tray.
That person didn't look like a pure Central Plains person or a Qi people, his appearance was very obvious that he was a mixture of the two ethnic groups.
He looks young, only in his mid-twenties.
At this time, everyone only saw a bloodless pale face and eyes that were still wide open.
The envoys who came to pay tribute had a look of panic on their faces. They were just ordered to deliver tributes and maintain a relationship with the Qi people, and did not want to get involved in the internal fighting of the Qi people.
But the atmosphere in the hall at this time was obviously not suitable for them to say anything.
"General Right, what's going on?" Ji Xu suddenly chuckled, stood up and said, "It's such a happy day, who are you going to kill? How unlucky is it?"
Xu Buhe raised his voice and said: "General Zuo is serious. We are not those poor and fastidious people in the Central Plains. Seeing red on a happy day is a good sign. What's more... this person took advantage of the king's banquet today with guests from various ministries to intend to rebel.
, I naturally can’t let him live any longer!”
Everyone in the main hall was in an uproar.
Ji Xu's face also darkened, "Oh? Rebellion and rebellion? That really deserves to be killed. But... I think this person is a member of the Queen Mother, right? I wonder what the Queen Mother thinks?"
Everyone looked at Bai Jingrong. Not only the people within the Qi tribe, but also outsiders like them had heard rumors that King Qi and the Queen Mother were not getting along.
Bai Jingrong's expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly: "Since I am the Queen Mother of the Qi people, it is natural that the stability of all Qi people is important. I will never tolerate such a bastard who intends to conspire against you! A-Zhan, what do you think?"
Hearing what the Queen Mother said, the Qi nobles who were a little excited at first calmed down and looked at Ji Zhan one after another.
After all, the Queen Mother is just a foreign woman who married into the Qi people, and the Bai family army can be regarded as her dowry.
As long as the Queen Mother does not favor her own people, what they want to see is the King's attitude.
After all, he is the king of the Qi tribe, and most of the people in the hands of the Queen Mother will belong to the king in the future. They can tolerate King Qi being half of the Central Plains blood, but if he still favors the Central Plains people, then they can't tolerate it.
Already.
Ji Zhan suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Jingrong, only to see Bai Jingrong looking at him with a smile.
Ji Zhan gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at the woman in front of him.
Of course she won't tolerate it, because they are his people!
That person was not a rebellious person, but one of the few middle- and high-level young generals he had inserted into the Bai family army.
Today he asked Subga to take the opportunity to take control of the Bai family army. This man was ordered to be an internal response. Now Subga has brought his head up. You can imagine what is going on.
Ji Zhan suddenly turned his head to look at the queen sitting on the other side of him. The queen was sitting with a calm expression and her eyes lowered, as if she didn't know he was looking at her.
"A Zhan?" Bai Jingrong's voice came to mind, and she said softly: "Why are you dazed? Everyone is still waiting for you. General You can make a decisive decision to save our Qi people from a disaster. Speaking of which, I should also thank General You.
That’s right. Your Majesty should also give more rewards to General Right, right?”
Ji Zhan calmed down, quickly glanced at the entire hall, lowered his eyes and said calmly: "What the Queen Mother said is right, but I have met this person several times before, and he seemed calm, so why do you suddenly want to rebel?
With a small lieutenant like him, even if he wants to rebel, how likely is it to succeed?"
"What does the king mean?" Bai Jingrong asked.
Ji Zhan said: "I'm afraid there is someone more powerful behind the scenes, right? General You really shouldn't have killed someone so hastily."
There was no trace of guilt on Subhe's face. He said calmly: "I was impulsive. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Ji Zhan's eyes darkened and he said: "It's useless to talk about it now. General Right, you have worked hard tonight. General Zuo."
"I'm here." Ji Xu stepped forward and said respectfully.
Ji Zhan said: "Since such a thing has happened, we must investigate in detail and give an explanation to the Qi people. You will investigate this matter thoroughly. The Bai family army will not take any action without my order. As for the two generals Wu and Wu...
…”
Ji Zhan's eyes fell on Wu Ye and Wu Jun. After a moment of pause, he said, "Let's stay in the palace for now."
There was no change on Wu Jun's face. Even if such a serious thing happened, he seemed not to care.
Wu Ye was obviously not so easy to deal with. He turned the ring on his hand and sneered: "What do you mean, Your Majesty? You want us to be placed under house arrest?"
Ji Zhan said coldly: "What? General Wu Ye really wants to rebel?"
Wu Ye jumped up and said with a sneer: "Rebellion is what the king said about rebellion? Who doesn't know that General You is the father of the queen? We were drinking wine normally, General You didn't come for a long time, but now he suddenly raised his head and started talking.
The family army rebelled? In recent years, we have made great contributions to the Qi people's life and death. What? Now that the king has successfully ascended the throne, is he trying to kill the donkey? "
"Besides..." Wu Ye glanced at the head with disdain and said, "I also heard that this person seems to be very close to the king, and the king is willing to spend a lot of money!"
"Wu Ye! You are so presumptuous!" Ji Zhan was furious and scolded sternly.
There was silence in the main hall, and the minds of everyone present were racing, guessing what was going on tonight?
Is the Bai family army really going to rebel? Or is it because the king, now that he has become the king of Qi, does not like the fact that his mother controls the Bai family army and wants to get rid of him?
What Wu Ye said seemed to make sense. After all, if the Bai family army really wanted to rebel tonight, it would be unreasonable for the two chief generals of the Bai family army to be sitting in the palace.
On the contrary, it’s His Majesty’s side…
But His Majesty's expression at this time didn't look like he was happy.
If it were acting, this city would be too deep.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wu Ye did not give in and said loudly: "Kill the king if he wants to, and scrape if he wants! Why bother with these articles?"
Ji Zhan sneered and said: "Okay, I will do as you wish. Come on! Capture Wu Ye!"
The guards outside the hall had already rushed in when they heard the sudden change in the hall, but they all stood guard around the hall.
Upon hearing Ji Zhan's order at this time, he naturally responded without hesitation. Several guards with weapons walked up to Wu Ye and said in a deep voice: "General Wu, please follow us."
Wu Ye stood up suddenly and raised his hand to pull out the knife from his waist.
But before his hands touched the handle of the knife, several knives were placed on his neck.
Luo Junyao, who was sitting next to him, got up early and took Bai Ning to hide under a pillar on the side.
Ji Zhan did not order anyone around Wu Ye to be arrested, so the guards ignored her and just surrounded Wu Ye.
Ji Xu had always disliked Wu Ye, but when he saw Wu Ye being taken down by the guards, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
He glanced at Bai Jingrong with some meaningful eyes, raised his hands and said to Ji Zhan: "Your Majesty is wise. What happened to the Bai family army, Your Majesty just wants to find out the truth. General Wu's reaction is too much. Could it be that he has a guilty conscience?"
?”
Wu Ye gritted his teeth and said, "General Zuo is really good at spewing blood!"
Ji Zhan looked at Bai Jingrong again, this time his eyes were a little more provocative, and he said calmly: "Mother, what do you think we should do?"
"Wu Ye has been with me for decades, so I naturally believe that he will never rebel." Bai Jingrong said: "But A Zhan doesn't believe it after thinking about it. If you want to find out, just check it out. It's just that Wu Ye is also considered to be against the Qi people.
You have meritorious service. You are so rude to him, which will definitely chill the hearts of the meritorious officials. Right General, don’t you think so?"
Ji Zhan's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and his eyes fell firmly on Subhe.
He is Subuka's son-in-law, and he wants to know why Subuka betrayed him!
Subhe seemed not to have seen his eyes, and laughed loudly: "What the Queen Mother said is true. If the King and the Queen Mother can trust me, why not leave this matter to me? I don't know what?"
Ji Xu frowned and said, "Your Majesty has already said, leave this matter to me."
The two of them looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes that they were determined to win.
This is not just a matter of thoroughly investigating whether the Bai Family Army has rebelled. It is no longer appropriate for the Bai Family Army to survive until now. They can take the opportunity to annex the Bai Family Army.
Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two generals, a Qi official came forward to persuade him.
If there is any matter, we can talk about it later. The guests are all here at the moment. It would really be an embarrassment for the Qi people to make such a fuss.
At this moment, a young man who looked like a guard suddenly came in from outside. Without looking at the situation in the palace, he walked quickly towards Ji Zhan who was sitting on the main seat.
The young man walked up to Ji Zhan, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Ji Zhan's expression suddenly changed and he looked at the young man with sharp eyes.
The young man nodded, his expression equally solemn.
Ji Zhan suddenly looked back at Bai Jingrong, gritted his teeth and said, "Mother!"
His reaction was so great that even people who were not in the right state could see it. Did the conflict between King Qi and the Queen Mother not even bother to cover up in front of the guests?
What did the Queen Mother do to make King Qi so angry?
Ji Zhan was indeed very angry, he was almost dying of anger.
She actually secretly transferred people into the palace. At this time, she didn't know how many of her own people were in the palace, and how many of Bai Jingrong's people were there!
Ji Zhan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Ji Zhan took a deep breath and suddenly reached out for the golden cup on his right hand that committed the crime.
The gold cup was not the wine glass Ji Zhan drank from, so Ji Zhan's movement seemed a bit abrupt.
Some people held their breath secretly: Could it be that King Qi was mad and wanted to use it to hit the Queen Mother?
However, Ji Zhan's hand did not touch the golden lamp. The queen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly came over and stretched out her hands to wrap around Ji Zhan's arm.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Ji Zhan angrily wanted to throw away the queen's hand, but found that the queen's seemingly comforting movement secretly used a lot of strength. If he didn't get up and use force, he wouldn't be able to get rid of her at all.
"you!"
The queen raised her head and looked at him with her eyes, which were calm and cold, making Ji Zhan's heart feel cold.
Ji Zhan was so angry that he no longer cared about dignity and said sternly: "We won't catch these thieves yet!"
After that, he added: "General Zuo, Subhe colluded with the Queen Mother to rebel, capture him quickly!"
The hall exploded in an instant.
The guards immediately drew their swords and rushed towards the people in the palace. They were obviously prepared in advance, and everyone's whereabouts and goals were very clear.
Some of the guests who were frightened by this sudden change screamed, some were stunned, and some also drew their weapons and joined the melee.
Ji Xu and Subhe were in confrontation, and neither could do anything to the other.
Wu Ye, who had just been surrounded by people, also took the opportunity to break out of the siege of the guards. After all, he was the commander of an army and was not weak in strength. He had the power to kill everyone in a moment.
Not only that, he also turned to Wu Jun who was sitting and drinking and shouted: "Wu Jun, if you still stand by and watch, we will all die here today!"
Wu Jun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, threw the wine glass in his hand behind him, and finally stood up.
The palace, which had been a place of peaceful singing and dancing not long ago, had now become a battlefield.
The sound of weapons clashing and fighting could also be heard outside the hall.
Ji Zhan stood up and pushed the queen away, angrily yelling: "Bitch!"
The queen sneered, and with a flash of cold light, she took out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed Ji Zhan.
Ji Zhan was startled and quickly kicked the queen away, "Are you crazy?!"
Even so, there was still a bloody mark on his arm from the queen's dagger.
The queen gritted her teeth and said with hatred: "I, Subu, have supported you in every possible way, but you have harmed my children and made me unable to have children in this life! Ji Zhan, then you should die too!"
"What?" Ji Zhan was shocked and angry.
Bai Jingrong sat calmly in her seat and watched this scene, as if the chaos in front of her didn't affect her at all.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, it did not affect Bai Jingrong. Several waves of people who wanted to attack Bai Jingrong fell to the ground within three steps of her.
Two men in black appeared quietly in front of her desk, one on the left and the other on the right blocking all those who tried to get close.
And there was a music player sitting quietly behind her.
Ji Zhan turned to look at Bai Jingrong with hatred on his face. Bai Jingrong put down the wine glass in his hand and said softly: "A Zhan, mother told you a long time ago, don't make me angry."
Ji Zhan sneered and said: "Mom, you are very capable! But don't think that you have a guaranteed chance of winning. We still don't know who will win tonight!"
Bai Jingrong smiled and said: "Let's wait and see, A-Zhan, my mother is old, and she can't bear anyone disobeying me the most."
While speaking, Ji Zhan quickly retreated behind several men who looked like guards, and at the same time glanced at Qu Fang warily.
Qu Fang ignored him and still sat quietly drinking. At this time, he did not notice the chaos in the hall at all.
"Ah Fang, look, I won this time." Bai Jingrong turned around and said to Qu Fang with a smile.
Qu Fang glanced around and said, "It seems that you have indeed won, but Ji Xu may not be convinced by you. He is a member of the royal family of the Qi clan and has a large number of troops, so he is equally qualified to ascend the throne."
The heirs of the former King Qi are naturally the best heirs to the throne, but if the royal power falls away and there is no suitable person to take up the big job, the Qi royal family does not mind someone else taking his place.
Bai Jingrong's biggest weakness is that she only has two sons.
Ji Zhan turned against her, and Ji Rong was not suitable to inherit the throne.
Bai Jingrong glanced at Ji Xu who was fighting with Subu He, "Just don't let him get out alive." It happened that almost all the royal family and nobles of the Qi tribe gathered here tonight, and anyone who disobeyed her would die!
"A Fang, now I win." Bai Jingrong said: "Please help me capture A Zhan, be careful not to hurt him."
Qu Fang glanced at the other side and said, "The people around him are all top-notch experts."
Since Ji Zhan knew that his mother had a top expert, how could he not be on guard against this?
Therefore, Ji Zhan himself has gathered many masters around him over the years. Even if they are not at the same level as Qufang, sometimes quantity can make up for the lack of quality.
Sure enough, when Qu Fang looked over, two guards had already protected Ji Zhan and retreated to the other end of the hall.
The other two people stepped forward and blocked Qu Fang's way.
Luo Junyao took Bai Ning to avoid the melee, and finally slipped near Bai Jingrong.
"Empress!"
Bai Jingrong glanced at her with a smile and said softly: "This palace is very dangerous. Don't run around and stay nearby." She did not let Luo Junyao and Bai Ning come to her, and Luo Junyao didn't seem to know her.
Without any scruples, he gave her a sweet smile, nodded and said, "Yes, your Majesty. Your Majesty, you must be careful."
Bai Jingrong smiled sweetly and said, "Just watch over there and see how I won tonight."
