In addition, the Tianlang Dynasty has such a profound foundation, and King Zhou Cheng is not worried that it will be annexed by the Zhao Dynasty and others after the matter is completed. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. This is a truth that everyone knows.
Only those who understand the true meaning of imperial power and hegemony are the real heroes, and in Xingtian's view, King Zhou Cheng is indeed qualified to become a hero, and he is also the one who can truly threaten King Zhou Lie.
In the Imperial City of the Sirius Dynasty, King Zhou Lie was sitting on the throne at the moment, holding a secret report in his hand.
During this period of time, various things made King Zhou Lie anxious, but they were nothing compared to the secret report in his hand. After a long time, a burst of sharp Qi came out from King Zhou Lie's palm, and he directly took this secret report.
The secret report was torn into pieces.
"I'm eating everything in, I'm eating everything in. I didn't expect that my third brother would dare to betray me. It really surprised me. He was obedient on the surface, but he was secretly playing tricks and tricks. He actually wanted to impeach me with the ministers, and even talked with the big brother.
There is contact with the Zhao Dynasty, but if he thinks that he can get his wish, then he underestimates my younger brother!"
King Zhou Lie's eyes were cold at this moment. The royal family has no true feelings since ancient times, especially between brothers. Sometimes they are like life and death enemies. After all, only brothers are qualified to compete for imperial power. Throughout the ages, there have been too many examples of killing brothers and fathers to seize power.
In the face of imperial power and hegemony, brotherly love is insignificant.
"Come here, let me investigate. I want to see what step Zhou Cheng has taken. Also, during this period, the whereabouts of Xing Tian and his gang have become a mystery and cannot be captured at all. I think they are probably the same as Zhou Cheng."
Relatedly, the four thousand elites I sent out are all missing. If Xing Tian alone can kill people, it is absolutely impossible to escape my eyes and ears. Someone must be helping him. If Zhou Cheng helps him
, of course you can hide it from my eyes and ears!" King Zhou Lie directly called his guards and issued the order.
It has to be said that King Zhou Lie's power in the Tianlang Dynasty is unparalleled. Soon, all kinds of information were gathered back, many of which were valuable. After all, no matter how strict things are, they cannot be completely kept secret. There is no airtight in this world.
wall.
Looking at the intelligence collected by his men, King Zhou Lie looked ferocious and filled with murderous intent.
"As expected, it's my third brother. He actually colluded with more than 60% of the officials in the DPRK. Okay, very good. Since he has no brotherly feelings for me, I won't talk about any more feelings of brotherhood!"
King Zhou Lie looked ferocious, but he was thinking carefully. He was by no means a fool. It was obvious that King Zhou Cheng was able to take action at this critical moment. It was obvious that he had been operating for many years and had only recently surfaced. Especially since the other party was acting secretly and had already occupied the territory.
If he takes the initiative, next time he goes to court, King Cheng of Zhou may really unite his ministers and impeach him if he ascends to the throne.
He did not expect that the current situation would be so critical. If he lost his power, it would be completely over. King Zhou Lie knew that his third brother could tolerate it for so many years and was definitely not a kind person. If the other party was in power, how could he tolerate it?
Kill yourself? In this history, among all the princes who were seized of power by their brothers, which one ended up well?
Even if King Zhou Lie is a warrior in the extraordinary realm, he cannot rely on force to control the imperial power. Not to mention that King Zhou Cheng has many martial arts masters under his command, but there are also three protectors of the country in the Tianlang Dynasty. It is said that they were the emperor half a century ago.
They are masters in the fairyland. Now they cannot leave the seclusion and study profound martial arts. Only the dynasty and the country will take action when they are in real danger. However, these three protectors do not care about the royal heirs. If many ministers in the government and the public oppose them, they will be troubled.
There is no benefit in leaving the Lord Protector. The three Lord Protectors will only turn to the ministers and those pedantic scholar-bureaucrats. When the time comes, they will not be able to do anything extraordinary, otherwise they will dig their own graves.
Therefore, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and the noise must be minimized.
Thinking of this, King Zhou Lie had a strong murderous look in his eyes. He seemed to have made a decision, and then summoned the two killers he had secretly trained for many years.
These two killers have extremely high cultivation levels and have been selected and trained strictly since childhood. They have no names. They exist only to help King Zhou Lie kill people. It is said that there is no one in the world that the two of them cannot kill.
Now that King Zhou Cheng's power has been established, it is impossible to suppress him. King Zhou Lie knows this very clearly. There is only one way for him to do this, and that is to let King Zhou Cheng die unexpectedly.
As long as King Zhou Cheng dies, all the previous preparations made by the other party will disappear. Those ministers and scholar-bureaucrats who opposed him will have no leaders and will not be able to make any waves.
This is King Zhou Lie's style of doing things. There is only one word for his enemies, and that is to kill, even if the opponent is his own brother.
In King Zhou Cheng's palace, on the seventh night, King Zhou Cheng, who had not shown his face for seven days, appeared again. Although he looked very tired, he was very energetic, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Obviously, his plan is going well.
"I have secretly attracted more than 60% of the civil and military ministers in the court. In addition to those who have long been dissatisfied with Zhou Lie's behavior, I have a great chance of success this time. Speaking of which, I also have to thank you two, especially Xing
Young Master, I heard that this time my brother Zhou Lie became so angry that he sent troops to attack the Zhao Dynasty despite everyone's dissuasion. It was because he suffered a big loss at your hands. It seems that a hero is born in a young man. I'd like to toast you and do it first as a token of respect.
!”
In a hall, maids kept going back and forth, a large round table was filled with all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and King Zhou Cheng, dressed in a golden crown and brocade robe, was talking and laughing to Xing Tian and toasting.
It has to be said that King Zhou Cheng's attitude is very attractive to people. If he were such a polite and virtuous corporal, if he were an ordinary warrior, he would immediately repay his favor and become loyal to him. However, Xingtian is not an ordinary warrior. Half a step to the extraordinary realm is already half a foot.
Having stepped into the extraordinary realm, extraordinary and transcendent, how could Xing Tian be so easily impressed. Besides, Zhou Chengwang only used some small means to make himself grateful this time, and his motives may not be pure.
It was just a superficial matter, and Xing Tian knew how to deal with it, but he raised his glass and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is well prepared, so I will congratulate you here on gaining power. When you ascend the throne, you can also negotiate peace with the Zhao Dynasty."
Stop fighting."
"That's natural!" King Zhou Cheng drank the wine in his glass and sat down.
In addition to Xing Tian and Linglong, there were also several confidants of King Zhou Cheng who attended this banquet, and the atmosphere was quite enjoyable.
At this time, a confidant of King Zhou Cheng stood up and toasted: "Your Majesty is a talented man and has great plans. Everything is ready this time. All we need is the east wind. We only need the east wind in three days. When the prince ascends to the throne and gives a shout, he can seize King Zhou Lie's power."
Daquan, we will follow the prince and we will be willing to die if we can see the prince ascend the throne. I will give you a toast and congratulate the prince on assuming the power!"
After the confidant finished speaking, he drank up the wine in the glass. King Zhou Cheng's face was glowing red and he kept saying hello while drinking and eating. During this process, maids kept serving exquisite dishes.
But at this moment, Xing Tian felt something was wrong, and a sense of crisis arose in his heart.
Suddenly, a maid carrying a plate of exquisite dishes walked over, and suddenly hit the plate in her hand towards King Zhou Cheng, with several gleaming daggers mixed in. In an instant, she was in front of King Zhou Cheng. Everyone present was shocked.
He was a master of martial arts, but he reacted immediately. King Zhou Cheng looked calm and held the wine glass motionless. However, several of his confidants stood in front of King Zhou Cheng, blocking the daggers and acting as human beings at the same time.
The other two immediately used their martial arts skills to attack the maid.
There is no doubt that the movements of these three people are coherent, and they are all above the Aperture Realm. It is impossible for ordinary assassins to successfully assassinate them.
But obviously, those who came this time were not ordinary assassins.
The assassin disguised as a maid was extremely skilled in martial arts. In the blink of an eye, he fought dozens of moves with King Zhou Lie's two confidants, but completely suppressed the two of them. They didn't even have the chance to shout loudly or call for help.
.
The three of them were fighting together, but King Zhou Cheng was still as steady as a mountain and seemed not afraid at all. Xingtian and Linglong on the other side did not make any moves. Linglong absolutely trusted Xingtian, but Xingtian was fully confident in his own strength.
In his opinion, although the female assassin was highly skilled, if it were him, he would be able to subdue her with only two or three moves.
King Zhou Cheng naturally had his own ability to remain calm. After all, King Zhou Cheng was a master of the Life Extension Realm, and he had been in a high position for a long time. If he acted panicked in front of his subordinates, it would definitely be disrespectful and even less dignified.
So no matter what, King Zhou Cheng would behave extremely calmly, not to mention that there was still a confidant protecting him at this moment.
It can be said that this maid disguised herself very cleverly. If she had not chosen the wrong time to take action, she might even have hurt King Zhou Cheng. But now, she is afraid that she has no chance. Because soon a large group of guards rushed in from outside, and some of the guards rushed in.
Around King Zhou Cheng, the other group surrounded the assassin. These guards were all carefully selected elites, and their cultivation levels were in the tough and soft realm. Even if the opponent had three heads and six arms, it would be impossible for him to hurt King Zhou Cheng again.
This rightful lord.
The situation seemed to be under control quickly.
From the beginning to the end, Xing Tian did not take action. He knew that he did not need to take the lead. If King Zhou Cheng was assassinated so easily, he would have died eight hundred times ago. Therefore, the current situation was all within Xing Tian's expectation.
among.
But secretly, the sense of danger in Xing Tian's heart still hadn't gone away. It seemed that things were not that simple. However, Xing Tian was on guard while he asked the sky with his fingers. After several hexagrams, Xing Tian shouted that it was not good.
At the same time, something happened that everyone had not expected and could not even imagine.
The confidant who stood in the way of King Zhou Cheng at the beginning suddenly took action and stabbed King Zhou Lie into the heart with the dagger in his hand. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! Mobile phone
