Chapter 191: The Honor of Ninety-five, right in front of you
In the Yin and Yang Division, the green lanterns trembled, and Taibu shuddered.
There is such a heavy smell of blood, is this... Elder Canglong?
At Li Qi Teahouse, Li Shabai coughed twice, took a deep breath and said, "Another third-grade cultivator has died."
He Fang said: "Do you know who he is?"
Li Shabai did not answer, but turned to Han Chen and said, "Doctor Han, go back to the Yin and Yang Division with Miss He."
Han Chen looked surprised and said: "Is Taibu dead? Is he really dead?"
Li Shabai shook his head: "Go quickly, something big will happen in the capital."
Han Chen said to Chang Decai: "Brother Chang, you might as well come with us to the Yin and Yang Division for temporary shelter."
Chang Decai shook his head: "You just go, I'll wait for my master, and I have to keep an eye on this girl!"
There is another thing that is not said, he has to go back to Zhonglang Courtyard regularly to feed each other with Yang Wu.
Shi Shuangliu asked: "When will Brother Xu come back?"
Chang Decai smiled and said: "Who can say for sure? You can't ask too much about the master's affairs."
…
Xu Zhiqiong walked around dozens of times in Yuyao Palace without saying a word.
Liang Yuyao asked the prince: "Why did this guy lose his mind and go crazy? He went from morning to dusk for a whole day, and the hearts of those girls were distracted."
Didn't they disperse? We rarely see men in Yuyao Palace, but now a man is wandering around in the palace, and he keeps wandering around like this.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at him, their burning eyes never leaving her for a moment.
Hundreds of pairs of consciences are facing each other, and the heartbeats are ups and downs with excitement.
When night fell, Xu Zhiqiong spoke: "Princess, if a large army invades the palace, how long can the Yuyao Palace sustain it?"
Liang Yuyao's face turned pale: "Where did this army come from?"
"I'm worried that King Huai is coming."
The assassin entered King Huai's courtyard, and the second elder also entered King Huai's courtyard. With a little inference, he knew what King Huai was going to do.
If a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, he is likely to be like his son and prepare to rebel.
Liang Yuming's scheming is very terrifying, and his plan is so meticulous that it is impeccable. Assuming that King Huai is more scheming than his son, once the palace is invaded, how long can the Yuyao Palace last?
"If we can't last even half an hour, let's leave the palace immediately to hide from the disaster!"
Is it possible for King Huai to break into the palace?
possible!
Both the prince and the princess were aware of their uncle's ambitions.
Liang Yuyao slapped the table and gritted her teeth and said, "I want to see if King Huai has the courage. Come on, let's go out to avoid disaster!"
The prince said angrily: "If you avoid disaster, you will avoid disaster. Why are you so grand?"
Unable to hide even if they wanted to, the two came to Donghua Gate, but the guards stationed there did not allow them to leave the palace.
Liang Yuyao became anxious, and in the Donghua Gate, she tore and beat the commander of the imperial army.
But it was useless. The imperial army received the imperial decree and the prince and Princess Yuyao were not allowed to leave the palace.
…
It was late at night, and in the Canglong Hall, Liang Jixiong was very anxious: "Elder Shengde has been here for a whole day, why haven't I heard any reply?"
Looking at the impatient Liang Jixiong, Liang Gongping looked helpless: "Elder Shengwei, please be patient. I have already sent someone to inquire."
While they were talking, a Canglong guard came to report: "Elder Shengde is now at Prince Huai's mansion, drinking with Prince Huai."
To drink?
Liang Jixiong lowered his eyes and said, "But you are still drinking with this traitor? After drinking, are you going to do something important together?"
"Be patient, be patient, be patient! Explain everything clearly at the wine table, wouldn't it be much better than fighting with swords?" Liang Gongping asked Canglong Wei again, "What else can you find out?"
"There are many people on the street, and there is a crazy rumor that the emperor will give way to King Huai."
Liang Gongping said angrily: "You are talking nonsense. If anyone spreads rumors and causes trouble, arrest him immediately without any delay!"
Liang Jixiong said in surprise: "Elder Shengci, when you were arresting the common people, you didn't say you should be patient?"
Liang Gongping pursed his lips and said: "This matter cannot be delayed. A few rumors may seem insignificant, but they are crucial to the safety of the country!"
Liang Jixiong said: "But it is more important than dealing with King Huai?"
Liang Gongping smacked his lips and said, "You don't know the power of this rumor."
"Rumors started because of King Huai. Once King Huai is dealt with, the rumors will naturally stop!"
Liang Gongping didn't know how to answer for a moment, and suddenly remembered the popular theory of two minds among Confucian scholars: "According to a fool, King Huai should be dealt with first, and then the rumors should be stopped. According to a wise person, the rumors should be stopped first.
It would be safer to deal with King Huai!"
"You still have the time to talk about this nonsense!" Liang Jixiong sighed repeatedly.
"A group of common people came to the Ascetic Workshop to ask for help. They said that their family members worked as laborers for the Ascetic Workshop. After going to Ponuyuan, there was no news at all!"
Liang Jixiong was shocked: "What happened?"
Liang Gongping waved his hands and said: "When did this happen? Why do you care about labor? Send people first to arrest those who spread rumors!"
Liang Jixiong said in astonishment: "As long as we suppress the rumors, will the world be at peace?"
The two were arguing, and then they heard the Canglong Guard report: "The Emperor is here."
Liang Gongping frowned and said, "He's here now, but what is he going to do?"
Liang Jixiong said: "Can we still block it? Your Majesty, please come in quickly!"
Emperor Zhaoxing walked into the hall, followed by bachelors from the Hanlin Academy, who read, lectured and compiled historians.
Seeing everyone in the Hanlin Academy, Liang Gongping's heart tightened.
Especially when he saw the historian's compilation, Liang Gongping was sweating. He hated the historian the most in his life.
Emperor Zhaoxing looked at the two elders and suddenly knelt on the ground.
The two elders were so shocked that they could not help him up, so they could only kneel with Emperor Zhaoxing.
Liang Gongping asked: "Your Majesty, why is this happening?"
Emperor Zhaoxing said: "My virtue is weak and my ability is fresh. Now I am willing to give up the throne to Xiankang. Please bear witness from the two elders!"
To bear witness?
Witnessing at this time?
Isn't this considered forced uterus?
Liang Gongping trembled and saw that the historian took out a pen and paper and had already started recording. He quickly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the rumors in the market!"
Emperor Zhaoxing shook his head and said: "This is not a rumor, this is what I say from the bottom of my heart. I am a great propagandist and have put life and death aside for a long time. However, I only have one son, Yuyang, but I cannot let him die at the hands of Xiankang."
Liang Jixiong was speechless.
The historian is still recording word for word.
Liang Gongping tried to find the entrance to He Xini: "The prince was assassinated. It cannot be said that this matter must be related to Xiankang. Elder Shengde has gone to Prince Huai's Mansion to investigate the matter and will give an explanation to His Majesty soon!"
Emperor Zhaoxing looked at Liang Gongping with a confused expression: "Elder Shengde went to find Xiankang. Do you want to punish Xiankang, or do you want to join forces with Xiankang to kill me?"
Liang Gongping looked horrified: "How could your Majesty say such things? Elder Shengde went here because of..."
Emperor Zhaoxing turned to look at the historian and said slowly: "Elder Shengci, please speak more slowly, I'm afraid the historian won't be able to record it well."
"This, why is this..." Liang Gongping lowered his head and secretly looked at the historian.
He really wanted to step forward and snatch the historian's pen away and tear up the paper in his hand!
Liang Jixiong said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I will go to Prince Huai's Mansion immediately to capture Xiankang and give an explanation to Your Majesty."
Liang Jixiong stood up to leave, and Liang Gongping quickly followed him.
You went and captured King Huai, and you became a loyal minister.
what should I do?
I am here to accompany the emperor, listen to his sarcastic remarks, but am I treated as a buffoon by the historian?
One day when I become a star official, I can't even lift my head when I open the history book of Daxuan.
"I'll go with you. This is a major matter for the clan, and the three of us have to handle it together."
Emperor Zhaoxing sighed and said: "I am waiting for news in the palace with my wife and children. If the three elders and Xiankang cannot tolerate me, I am willing to die. I sincerely ask the elders to allow my children a way to live!"
Liang Jixiong and Liang Gongping didn't dare to delay for a moment. If they didn't leave, they would become King Huai's accomplices.
Elder Canglong never brought an entourage with him when he went out. The two of them walked quickly and soon arrived at Prince Huai's Mansion. Just as the guard boy was about to go in to pass the news, he was entangled by Liang Jixiong using the eighth-grade python technique, and he was strangled and fainted.
The two of them drove the Canglong Baqi all the way into the main courtyard. The guards and servants all stood there with their heads down, motionless.
When they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, they saw King Huai still having a drink with Liang Shilu, and dozens of dancers wearing tulles dancing gracefully.
The two walked into the main hall and looked at King Huai.
King Huai seemed not to notice the two of them, and toasted Liang Shilu a glass of wine first. Liang Shilu raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Liang Jixiong and Liang Gongping felt more and more strange the more they looked at it.
Liang Gongping ordered the dancer to step back, but the dancer just danced and didn't respond.
He originally wanted to use the power of Dragon Fury, a ninth-grade skill, to forcefully interrupt the singing and dancing, but he saw Liang Shilu in front of him, so doing so would probably cause him loss of face.
Liang Jixiong walked up to King Huai and Liang Shilu, looked at them for a moment, and exclaimed: "These are puppets!"
Liang Gongping was just astonished when he suddenly saw the main hall door closed and the dancers each holding long swords rushing towards them.
"King Huai" drew his sword and stood up, "Liang Shilu" also stood up, and nearly a hundred "people" in the main hall surrounded Liang Jixiong and Liang Gongping.
These are not people, they are all puppets. This is a great gift from Ye Ansheng, the master of the ascetic workshop, to King Huai.
But even if they are puppets, they can support Liang Jixiong and Liang Gongping for a while.
Even though Ye Ansheng is only in the fourth grade, this set of puppets is the hard work of the entire ascetic workshop's skilled craftsmen over the years.
No matter which sect you belong to or how high your cultivation level is, unless you have a body of copper skin and iron bones like the Golden Silkworm, you should not compete with the well-prepared Mohist hard steel.
Liang Jixiong concentrated on fighting, but Liang Gongping was worried about another thing.
Where did Liang Shilu go?
Did he join forces with King Huai to rebel, or...
He smelled a trace of blood in the hall.
Could it be that……
impossible……
King Huai dared to kill Elder Shengde?
…
In the ascetic workshop, four hundred craftsmen have gathered, each with their own weapons, waiting for Ye Ansheng's order.
Ye Ansheng was in the secret room at this moment, drank a large bowl of wine, saluted King Huai and said: "Master, this disciple is leaving now!"
King Huai nodded: "Be more careful in this battle. If you encounter a strong enemy, don't fight with strength. Just try your best to delay the fight for me!"
Ye Ansheng said: "Master, don't worry, the disciples have been waiting day and night, and finally today, in the battle of Donghua Gate, the disciples will definitely come out on top for the master!"
Ye Ansheng led the craftsmen to Donghua Gate.
King Huai passed through the yin and yang magic circle and arrived outside Gongchen Gate.
Sixteen Onmyojis arranged the formation and sent over ten fierce generals and five hundred soldiers.
In every aspect, King Huai was more prepared than Liang Yuming, but he was not as calm as Liang Yuming.
Covered by the magic circle, the soldiers in front of Gongchen Gate could not see King Huai and his soldiers.
But King Huai saw it clearly.
Looking at the guard in front of Gongchen Gate, his hands were cold and his throat was feeling tight.
He conceived countless times, raised troops in front of the palace, marched all the way to the inner court, killed Liang Xianhong, took his head, walked to Daqing Hall (the main hall of Daxuan Palace), and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
Now that the dragon throne was only a short distance away, he felt that all this was not real.
Was it too hasty? Should we plan more carefully?
Gongsun Wen said from the side: "Your Majesty, after entering the palace, you must first kill the faint king. You must not be merciful!"
King Huai nodded.
"I will go to the Forbidden Army camp first. Your Majesty must kill the faint king and the prince before dawn, otherwise I may not be able to hold on!"
Gongsun Wen left the magic circle.
Hua Chenghui raised his spear as the vanguard, waiting for King Huai's order.
King Huai took a sip of wine and issued an order in a low voice: "Enter the army into the palace and kill the foolish king!"
