The one who had just shouted was Si Baokun, the commander of Ouchi. After seeing the eldest grandson coming out of Chengdu, he raised his hand and pointed, and the God-killing arrows in the hands of many guards were aimed at him.
The eldest grandson Chengdu looked at Zhao Xianlong and asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what is going on? Did the old minister do something wrong?"
Zhao Xianlong waved his hand, and someone immediately carried the four corpses over.
Although these four people all wore grimace masks on their faces, Changsun Chengdu still recognized them at a glance. They were his four missing disciples.
Zhao Xianlong said: "Changsun Chengdu, you don't know these people, right? You colluded with the people of the Ghost King Sect to attack my king's consort. Isn't this treason?"
At this point, Changsun Chengdu could no longer think about how the Four Diamonds fell into the hands of Zhao Xianlong, and said with an aggrieved look: "Your Majesty, I really don't know what is going on.
Maybe these four villains did it secretly, or maybe someone deliberately framed it.
In any case, the old minister’s loyalty to the kingdom is evident and he would never do such a rebellious thing.”
"Whether it is rebellion or not, we have to investigate first."
Zhao Xianlong shouted sternly, "Come here, take down Changsun Chengdu for me!"
"Father, wait a moment!"
At this time, the prince Zhao Yu hurriedly walked out and said to Zhao Xianlong: "Father, the imperial master is really wronged. I can guarantee that the imperial master will never rebel."
A sneer appeared on Zhao Xianlong's lips. If Qin Haodong hadn't helped him find out their secret, he would have been deceived by the acting skills of the father and son in front of him.
However, being cuckolded must not be made public, otherwise it will become a scandal to the entire kingdom.
He shouted sternly: "Zhao Yu, as a prince, you show up at a minister's mansion late at night. What do you want?"
According to the regulations of the Xuanwu Kingdom, neither the prince nor the princess is allowed to get too close to his ministers before he succeeds to the throne, otherwise he will be regarded as forming a clique for personal gain and intending to rebel!
Zhao Yu usually relied on Wu Yueniang's favor and was used to being arrogant and domineering, doing whatever he wanted. How could he consider this?
At this time, Zhao Xianlong pointed it out in public, and he said at a loss: "I...I...I just came to discuss some issues with the Imperial Master!"
"Are you discussing how to seize my throne?" Zhao Xianlong shouted sharply, "Get out of the way quickly."
Although the surrounding imperial guards had no expression on their faces, they were quite shocked in their hearts. In the past, Zhao Xianlong was very fond of this prince, but this was the first time he was so strict like today.
Changsun Chengdu has been watching from the side. He has already determined that Zhao Xianlong has made up his mind to attack him today.
Seeing that Zhao Yu's intercession was of no use, he reached out and took out a jade bottle from his pocket and said: "Your Majesty, I am absolutely loyal to the Xuanwu Kingdom. I refine tonics for you every month."
What he was holding in his hand was the antidote to the bone-attached maggot. He used to give Zhao Xianlong one pill every month, but now he didn't care too much and just used it as his trump card.
Zhao Xianlong smiled coldly, reached out and took out the small glass bottle, threw it away.
The eldest grandson Chengdu reached out to catch the glass bottle. When he saw the maggots wriggling inside, his expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! There is no cure for maggots attached to bones."
Zhao Xianlong sneered and said: "Isn't it just a poisonous insect? My prince's consort is a miracle doctor. There is no disease that he can't cure."
Only then did the eldest grandson Chengdu understand why Zhao Xianlong dared to mobilize troops to come to question him tonight. It turned out that the poisonous insect in his body had been eliminated.
He gritted his teeth and said, "It's that damn boy again. If I had known, I should have killed him myself!"
But after looking around, I didn't see Qin Haodong's
shadow.
Zhao Xianlong shouted sternly: "The eldest grandson Chengdu intends to rebel. Let me capture him. If he resists, he will be shot on the spot immediately!"
A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the eldest grandson Chengdu, knowing that things could not get better today. He reached out to grab Zhao Yu and pinched his neck with one hand, "Zhao Xianlong, don't forget that your son is still in my hands."
Zhao Yu shouted in horror: "Master, what are you doing? Release me quickly. Father, save me quickly, father."
The expressions of Si Baokun, Shangguan Qiong and others also changed drastically. Now that the prince has become a hostage, they may be restrained if they take action.
But to everyone's expectation, Zhao Xianlong did not panic at all. Instead, he said coldly: "Traitor, if you have the ability, kill one and show me!"
He knew very well that Changsun Chengdu was bluffing, Zhao Yu was obviously a scoundrel, and he didn't care whether he lived or died.
The eldest grandson Chengdu was a little confused. Zhao Yu was Zhao Xianlong's only son and the heir to the Xuanwu Kingdom. Why didn't he care at all?
Could it be said that the matter has been exposed?
Thinking of this, he shook his head again. Only he and Wu Yueniang knew about this matter, and there was no way the news would leak out.
But Zhao Xianlong didn't care about Zhao Yu's life or death, but he would not take action no matter what, because this was his biological son.
At this time, Zhao Xianlong was heard shouting again: "Prince Zhao Yu, together with the rebel eldest son Chengdu, poisoned me with the intention of treason, and shot him with me."
After hearing this order, Shangguan Qiong and others were stunned, and they didn't understand what was going on for a while.
Hearing this death order, the eldest son Chengdu's heart sank suddenly. It seemed that Zhao Xianlong knew Zhao Yu's secret, otherwise he would not have killed his son anyway.
At this point, there was nothing he could do but throw the boat back. He threw Zhao Yu back into the room, then jumped towards Zhao Xianlong.
According to Changsun Chengdu's idea, as long as Zhao Xianlong is killed, Zhao Yu can directly inherit the throne. Even if there is opposition from other ministers, he can slowly suppress it with his own strength.
Although this will cause serious damage to the vitality of the Xuanwu Kingdom, there is no other way now but to take the risk.
He was a master of the Mahayana period. Even though flying was prohibited in the imperial city, he was still as fast as lightning, rushing towards Zhao Xianlong.
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow quickly!"
After coming back to his senses, Si Baokun immediately gave orders to his archers, and suddenly a dense rain of arrows shot towards Changsun Chengdu like raindrops.
It's just that his speed was too fast, and most of the God-killing arrows failed. Only a handful of them hit the target, but these arrows were knocked away by him very casually.
On a roof 800 meters away, Qin Haodong had a state-of-the-art anti-material sniper rifle in front of him. At this time, he was observing everything happening in the Imperial Prefecture through the scope.
Seeing Changsun Chengdu's performance, he couldn't help but secretly shake his head. It seemed that these God-killing arrows were indeed useless against the masters of the Mahayana period. He could only place his hope on the big guy in front of him.
He did not go to the door with Zhao Xianlong, but hid here secretly in order to find a suitable opportunity to take action.
"Protect the King."
Seeing that the God-killing Arrow failed to work, Si Baokun and Shangguan Qiong stood in front of Zhao Xianlong.
It's a pity that they were loyal but not strong enough. They were shot away by Changsun Chengdu in an instant, and they hardly played any role in blocking them.
"Zhao Xianlong, suffer death!"
The eldest grandson Chengdu jumped up in the air and slammed down with a palm carrying wind and thunder.
At this moment, the distance between the two people was too close. Even the archers did not dare to shoot arrows for fear of accidentally hurting the king.
Zhao Xianlong looked calm, and there was even a flash of excitement in his eyes, and he raised his hand as well.
He struck out with a palm.
Having just broken through to the Mahayana stage, he also wanted to test his own cultivation level.
There was only a loud bang as the two masters of the Mahayana stage dueled with an earth-shattering momentum. After the two palms collided, they set off a tornado-like wave of air, causing the surrounding imperial guards to retreat one after another.
Changsun Chengdu thought that he would kill Zhao Xianlong with one strike. Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to kill Zhao Xianlong, he was shocked and took seven or eight steps back.
Although Zhao Xianlong flew backwards in the air and was at a disadvantage in the fight, it was obvious that the difference between him and him was not much.
The eldest grandson Chengdu stopped and shouted with surprise: "You have also reached the Mahayana stage?"
Zhao Xianlong said proudly: "How is it? You didn't expect it, did you?"
Changsun Chengdu shouted coldly: "So what? You are still no match for me."
After saying that, he rushed over again, and the two of them fought together.
The duel between Mahayana masters could only be watched by others. Although Zhao Xianlong brought thousands of imperial guards, none of them could help.
After fighting for more than ten rounds, the palms of the two people touched each other again.
After all, Zhao Xianlong had just entered the Mahayana period, and was still a little weaker than Changsun Chengdu in terms of cultivation. He suffered some hidden losses in this confrontation. He flew back tens of meters in the air, his chest felt hot, and he almost vomited after a mouthful of old blood.
come out.
Although Si Baokun suffered some internal injuries, he kept watching eagerly from the side. After seizing this opportunity, he ordered me to shoot arrows again.
Immediately, the imperial guards present fired thousands of arrows, and countless god-killing arrows shot towards the eldest grandson Chengdu with a sharp sound of piercing the air.
"Break it for me!"
The eldest grandson Chengdu shouted loudly, and the momentum of his whole body exploded to the top, knocking down the God-killing arrow that was shot.
But at this moment, a loud bang was heard in the night sky, followed by a golden bullet that broke Changsun Chengdu's body-protecting energy and shot directly through his right chest.
He was preparing to attack Zhao Xianlong again, but he was accidentally injured.
"What is this?"
The eldest grandson Chengdu spat out a large mouthful of blood. He looked at the injury on his chest and then looked around. He didn't understand where his injury came from.
Zhao Xianlong was far away from him, so it was impossible for him to attack him, and all the God-killing arrows of these imperial guards were knocked away by him. What kind of hidden weapon hurt him?
But now he no longer has time to think so much. The bullet that just shot completely penetrated his right chest, and his inner body was severely injured. He could only wait for death if he stayed here, and he had to leave as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he was about to leave as soon as he moved his feet, but how could Zhao Xianlong give him this opportunity?
Although he didn't know how Qin Haodong did it, nor how the blood hole in Changsun Chengdu's chest appeared, the other party was indeed seriously injured.
Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, he punched out with both fists, and the shadow of his fists filled the sky instantly drowned Changsun Chengdu.
This time the situation was completely reversed. After being seriously injured, Changsun Chengdu was no match at all and was beaten back and forth.
Qin Haodong nodded with satisfaction. It was indeed the most advanced anti-material sniper rifle. Not only did it have a long range, but it was also powerful. The sniper rifle bullets refined by the Xuanyin Gathering Furnace were also very powerful and successfully broke through Changsun Chengdu's body-protecting weapon.
gas.
Of course, this is because his soul is strong enough to lock onto Changsun Chengdu's body while moving quickly. Otherwise, no matter how good his marksmanship is, he will not be able to hit the target.
Changsun Chengdu didn't know this. He finally seized an opportunity and slapped Zhao Xianlong again. He flew up high and tried to escape quickly with the force of the counterattack.
Everything was planned perfectly, but in mid-air, another loud bang was heard, followed by a sharp pain in both legs, and both knees were shattered.
