People in the banquet hall began to drink and mingle. You toasted me a drink, and I drank with you, enjoying the food, talking and laughing.
Soon, everyone’s true nature as businessmen slowly emerged. How could such a good business gathering opportunity be wasted?
So we got up and walked around to communicate, strike up conversations and get acquainted. You are a buddy, I am a brother, you are good to me, business is mutually beneficial, and there are many people who have initially reached a verbal cooperation intention.
At this time, a businessman from the Western Regions wearing a brocade robe approached Li Xiao with a wine cup. Everyone thought he was here to toast, so no one paid attention.
While Li Xiao was drinking wine in a depressed manner, the businessman in brocade robes bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, Prince Yu!"
Li Xiao turned around, raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am a businessman from the Chengjie tribe, and I am here to present a treasure to His Highness," the merchant in brocade robes smiled and took out an exquisite wooden box, "Hope."
"Oh? Open it," Li Xiao looked at the gorgeous wooden box, his curiosity aroused.
"What I dedicate to His Highness is..." The brocade-robed merchant slowly placed his hand on the wooden box, and a cold light suddenly shot out of his eyes, "Eternal rest!"
Before he finished speaking, the merchant in brocade robes pulled out a dagger as thin as a cicada's wings from the box like a magic trick, and held it upside down in his hand. As soon as the cold light appeared, the sharp edge of the dagger pierced Li Xiao hard.
abdomen.
The next moment, the music on the stage stopped, the dancer's dance also stopped, and the banquet outside the venue also stopped.
"Hahahaha!" The merchant in brocade robes laughed loudly as soon as he succeeded in the attack. He clasped his fist towards Zhang Peng and knelt down on one knee. "Prince Yu of Daxia has been killed by me. Lord Junma, you are lucky to have lived up to your fate!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience held their breath.
Beiting County Ma Zhangpeng actually sent an assassin to assassinate King Yu of Daxia! Beiting is going to openly rebel!
"King Assassin is killing him! Guards! Guards!" Only then did Li Xiao's chamberlain react, his face already turning pale, "Kill this beast!"
Hearing the ear-piercing screams of the chamberlain, a group of personal guards placed outside the banquet hall by Li Xiao immediately broke in and saw King Yu lying in a pool of blood. The businessman in brocade robes was holding a murder weapon and facing Zhang Junma with his fists and half-kneeling.
.
Zhang Peng showed a shocked expression for the first time, and immediately jumped up: "You are talking nonsense, I don't know you at all!"
"Zhang Pengjunma? You actually want to turn your back on me?" The merchant in brocade robes stood up again, with a panic expression on his face. He turned around and pointed at the soldiers of Prince Yu who were surrounding him, and shouted, "My assassination this time is...
You have planned it with Zhang Junma, Prince Xerxes, the Second Elder Xue Yantuo and the Grand Councilor of Khotan, but now you are going to cross the river and burn down the bridge!"
"Coax," everyone in the audience was shocked. Regardless of whether they were drunk or overcrowded, everyone cheered up and started talking one after another.
"What, these four forces are going to unite to deal with Daxia?"
"Together, they are indeed a force that can overturn the world!"
"Have Zhang Junma and the second elder been acting just now?"
"It's a pity that Prince Yu died at such a young age."
"You, why are you biting me!" Elder Xue Yantuo couldn't sit still. He pointed angrily at the brocade-robed merchant and asked.
"Second Elder, you have turned your back on me. Our Chengji tribe has always been loyal to you," the merchant in brocade robes seemed to be very anxious and at a loss.
The second elder Xue Yantuo was confused by the question. After thinking for a long time, he never thought that among the many tribes of Xue Yantuo, there was one called the Chengjie tribe!
"If you dare to bite randomly again, I, I will kill you!" Elder Xue Yantuo didn't know how to explain, so he had to draw his scimitar and threaten.
The Prime Minister of Khotan, who has been silent and has no sense of his presence, is also speechless at this moment... I have been so low-key, how can I still lie down?
"That's nonsense. When did we ever conspire to assassinate His Royal Highness Prince Yu!" He had to speak out, but speaking out seemed to deepen the misunderstanding again!
Xerxes's mind was buzzing. Prince Yu of Great Xia, whom he had bragged about just now, died like this? And the assassin also claimed that he was the mastermind? What kind of absurdity is this?
"Impossible. My prince has just been in Beiting for three days. He has been in my house the whole time. He has no time to plot! Don't slander anyone." Old Henis suddenly woke up from alcohol. He didn't care whether Li Xiao died or not.
, but if Xerxes was killed because of this, his sin would be great.
Seeing such a tragic situation, Latis had already screamed and hid behind Zhang Peng.
"You, you! I hate it, I hate that I shouldn't be seeking the skin of a tiger!"
Seeing that King Yu's personal guards were about to surround the Jinpao merchant, the Jinpao merchant's eyes were splitting as he looked at Zhang Peng and others angrily, with a look of determination on his face, and finally he laughed, very miserably: "Have mercy on me.
The elites of the Chengjie tribe have all gone as dead soldiers to assassinate court officials today. They must have gone there forever, hahahaha, how can I face my ancestors?"
After saying this, the merchant in brocade robes stabbed the dagger deeply into his belly and committed suicide.
At this time, Feng Yuxi appeared. He squeezed out from the crowd and saw King Yu's blood staining the carpet. His face turned red and white. Then he pointed at Zhang Peng and shouted: "Zhang Jun
Horse, since you want to kill it, why not kill it completely, I am here too, let’s do it!”
At this moment, Zhang Peng's heart felt as if he had been trampled by ten thousand alpacas. It was the first time that he was framed without regard for his life. This guy's acting skills were so good. If the person he framed was not Zhang Peng, Zhang Peng would
They all want to award him an Oscar statuette.
Having said that, Zhang Peng was unable to argue at this moment: "Shilang Feng, I said that I really don't know this assassin. Do you believe it?"
Feng Yuxi was furious: "Did Junma Zhang deceive me into being an old fool?"
The chamberlain knelt beside Li Xiao's body, grief-stricken. He pointed at Zhang Peng and started shouting: "You traitor! You have been deliberately friendly with His Highness these past few days, just to deceive His Highness's trust, and then take the opportunity to assassinate His Highness! Feng
Minister, you can't let this traitor go!"
"You all joined forces, and you were so unnoticed that the spies of my court didn't even notice it!" Feng Yuxi stared at Zhang Peng, his brain running rapidly, "Zhang Junma, you have been pretending to be crazy for the past four years, is it possible?
Are you secretly forming an alliance with the three of them? It's a great way to build a plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly!"
What the hell is this? Mr. Feng, your ability to make up your mind is too strong, right? Can you still get stuck with such a far-fetched splicing?
"You can secretly make friends with the dignitaries of various countries while traveling around the countries in the Western Regions through your ridiculous behavior of spending a lot of time and drinking."
The more Feng Yuxi talked, the more pictures he got, "If you use the mysterious world behind you to keep in touch with you, you can naturally make it difficult for people to notice. The recent rapid development of Beiting is not a moment of luck at all, but your relationship with
The springs of Tianxiahui’s four years of profound achievements are pouring out!”
Zhang Peng wanted to interject, but couldn't. Feng Yuxi paused for a moment and continued to spit: "You have almost eliminated the imperial court's eyeliners in the Beiting Army, but you didn't expect that there is another Zhao family member."
His direct descendants have been lurking in a low profile, and he seems to have reported the rapid progress of Beiting to the imperial court, and the imperial court wanted to distinguish the authenticity, so we came to announce the decree!"
"Shilang Feng, please listen to my explanation!" Zhang Peng was already dumbfounded.
"You still want to quibble?" Feng Yuxi roared angrily, "You gathered businessmen from the Western Regions and the heads of other three parties under the guise of an investment conference. It is basically your swearing-in conference, and King Yu and I are your best choices for raising troops to sacrifice the flag.
, yes or no?”
Zhang Peng let out a long sigh: "Shilang Feng, this is what your court officials are thinking... Is this how you see our Beiting?"
