The figure warned urgently, and while he was speaking, the person had already stepped forward.
The sharp arrow flew in the direction of Emperor Qingming. Han Yan, the commander of the Jingshi Guard, raised his sword to break it. However, the figure beat him one step ahead and used himself as a shield to rush straight towards the cold arrow!
The sharp and cold arrow sank into the flesh and blood of the young man's shoulder.
Ji Xiu's eyes trembled slightly.
The man frowned in pain and raised his hand to pull out the arrow, but before he could make any move, he fell to the ground.
Wu Chao looked at the young man who fell to the ground.
The situation is chaotic, and others may only think that this person is taking a risk to save others, but if you analyze the situation carefully, this behavior of the other party is completely meaningless.
And if it's not a show, it can only mean that there is something wrong with the other person's mind and eyes.
But who is this young man?
At this time, the man in black who was hiding on the roof missed an arrow and was exposed. When he saw the police guard chasing him, he jumped down and ran away.
The Forbidden Army also arrived, and the situation was quickly brought under control.
These dozen or so men in black all had a strong killing intent, and their every move was aimed at fighting for their lives. As a result, during the fight between the two sides, most of them died on the spot or were seriously injured and fell to the ground with unknown fate.
There is only one sane person alive——
"Tell me, who ordered you?"
The Duke of Zhen Guo restrained the man in black's arms with one hand and clasped them firmly behind his back. He held a sword across the other's neck with one hand and asked in a deep voice.
The man in black was caught by him and could not move at all. The cloth on his face was also torn off, revealing an ordinary face. At this time, he just gritted his teeth and said nothing.
At this time, a security guard inspecting the assassin's body said: "Your Majesty, it's the Purple Star Sect!"
Emperor Qingming's eyes suddenly turned cold.
The expressions of everyone around him also changed.
Especially several older civil servants——
The Purple Star Sect was founded by the remnants of the previous dynasty. It has become more and more rampant in recent years. It is said that it has also found the orthodox bloodline of the previous dynasty's royal family. It secretly preaches among the people to restore the previous dynasty, which is extremely harmful to the people's hearts... Therefore, it is tabooed by His Majesty today.
.
But usually he just creates rumors about troubles among the people, but this time he actually sneaked into the palace to assassinate the Holy Emperor!
Seeing that his identity was exposed, the man in black who was captured by the Duke of Zhen opened his mouth. He raised his red eyes and stared in the direction of Emperor Qingming. He gritted his teeth and said, "Today should have been the day for your death as a fool!"
Emperor Qingming slowly clenched his fingers and looked at Han Yan aside.
Han Yan pointed the Feiyun knife at the opponent and said in a cold voice: "How did you sneak into the palace? Do you have any colleagues in the party to respond? Recruit them quickly and truthfully!"
"What kind of allies? What kind of internal support is needed? It's just God's will! God wants to destroy this hypocrite, the Dog Emperor!" The man in black looked at him with contempt and hatred: "Now the people in the world are in dire straits? It's all thanks to this foolish king! Such evil deeds?
God will punish him!"
Listening to these insults and curses, Emperor Qingming's eyes darkened little by little.
Everyone around also had different expressions.
This means there are too many people.
If everyone hadn't listened to these fatal words together, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to leave here today with my tongue...
"Did you also arrest my grandson?!" Duke Zhen Guo had no time to pay attention and asked in a steady voice.
Mingshi disappeared suddenly? The more he searched, the more he felt that the human traces were very heavy? And this group of assassins suddenly appeared in the palace. These two things happened within one day. He would not believe it if they said they were not related!
"So what?"
There was a sarcastic smile in the eyes of the man in black: "This religion never kills innocent people! If Duke Zhen Guo had not rescued this dog emperor from me tonight, Sun Shang would have had a glimmer of hope... But Duke Zhen Guo doesn't care
If we don't care about this, then we can only use Lingsun's head to pay for the life of this dog emperor!"
Duke Zhen Guo's face darkened. His subordinates suddenly used force and broke one of the opponent's arms: "Tell me where he is!"
The man in black's voice was trembling with pain: "He's dead!"
Wu Chao's eyes moved.
wrong……
On the one hand, the other party said, "There was still a glimmer of hope", but on the other hand, he firmly said, "It is already dead," which is clearly contradictory.
Rather than incoherent nonsense? He is more inclined to think that the other party wants to use this to save his life from the Duke of Zhen, or even make a deal with the Duke of Zhen at the cost of his own life——
However, in front of the emperor, he could only use verbal hints and inducements, but could not express them clearly.
But I'm afraid the Duke is now overwhelmed by worry? He may not be able to understand it in time.
At this time, a man dressed as a follower came to Wu Chao's side.
"Master..."
The attendant whispered something.
Wu Chao nodded slightly.
"I'm asking you for the last time, where is my grandson?" Duke Zhen Guo said word by word.
"Anyone who associates with the faint king will not end well! The dog emperor has done his own evil and will not survive... It seems that the restoration of our dynasty is just around the corner!"
Hearing this answer that was not what the question was asked, and looking at the man in black who was captured by him, Duke Zhenguo thought of something and calmed down a little.
However, the words of the man in black seemed to have completely angered Emperor Qing Ming: "Having admitted that he is a member of the Purple Star Sect, Han Yan——hasn't punished him on the spot as a warning to others!"
"yes!"
The Duke of Zhenguo immediately said: "Your Majesty, please leave this person to the ministers for questioning for the time being!"
Han Yan's Feiyun Sword was already in front of the man in black. When he heard Duke Zhen Guo's words, he hesitated for a moment, but then it still penetrated the heart of the man in black.
As the commander of the Imperial Guard, the person who knows the most secrets of the emperor is naturally the person who understands the emperor best.
Sensing that the body of the person in his hand suddenly became stiff, Lord Zhen Guo's pupils narrowed.
He looked straight at Han Yan.
Han Yan silently avoided the murderous gaze, withdrew the knife, took a step back, cupped his hand and apologized: "It's because the official knife is a little faster, I hope the general won't blame you."
The Duke of Zhen retracted his gaze and loosened his grip on the man in black. Following the sound of the corpse falling to the ground, there was a "crack" sound, and the sword in the old man's hand returned to the scabbard on his waist with the cold wind.
The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment, and several officials secretly exchanged subtle glances.
"The Duke does not know -" Emperor Qingming spoke, his expression returned to normal, as if the person who was angered just now had never existed. He was talking about this at this time, and his tone could be said to be gentle: "These
A member of the Purple Star Cult, he is always extremely tough-talking
, there was never any truth in his mouth, only disobedient, disrespectful and instigating words. The government had arrested these remnants many times before, but no useful clues were ever found during interrogation. What this person just said was obviously intended to disturb the Duke of the State.
Don’t fall for the trap.”
The Duke of Zhen lowered his eyes.
It is true that I am afraid that he will fall into a trap.
But in order to prevent him from "falling into the trap", he was not even given the opportunity to trace the whereabouts of his grandson - was this also for his sake?
