Chapter 475: Difficult to enter the royal court
|||->-> Feng Jiubao's movements are fast.
It's incredibly fast, and he was taken aback by him when he was so fast that he was nine years old. He never thought that the strength of this Feng Jiubao was far from being as simple as the upper four gates.
His secret weapon is very fast and lethal, and when it is shot, it is like a rain of arrows.
But there is one person who is faster than him, stronger than him.
The moment Lu Jiu moved, he moved, and the sword light passed, and all the hidden weapons were shocked and paused, unloaded their strength, suddenly paused in mid-air, and then fell to the ground with a crackle.
Lu Jiu made a move for only a moment, and he missed Feng Jiubao and broke the tendons of his hands.
Lu Jiuqiang put the sword into the sheath with a bang, and walked behind Guan Jiunian with his head held high, looking at Feng Jiubao proudly.
Feng Jiubao's face was covered with sweat, his hands were hanging down, and he stared at Lu Jiu with a pant: "Time lag knife, are you ...... Yan Shiyi's apprentice?"
Lu Jiu didn't answer him, he was like a mute, he only did what Guan Jiu asked him to do, and didn't care about anything else. This person is usually his superior, he is submissive, conscientious, he will do whatever he commands, never ask for reasons, and he will always do things properly.
Because he doesn't talk much, Feng Jiubao likes him very much. Feng Jiubao thought about cultivating him as a successor, but he never mentioned those things about himself and the second master, because he knew that telling Lu Jiu in advance about this kind of thing might harm Lu Jiu and himself.
It's just that he never thought that after nine years of confinement, he would have been cultivated as his successor.
"Hey....... Guan Jiunian sighed: "Why are you bothering here? You should know that this is all in vain. ”
"yes. Feng Jiubao said: "I know, this thing can't be done." It's just that I didn't expect it, I thought I was hiding deep enough, Lu Jiu hid deeper than me, hehe. I thought that no one knew about my kung fu, but I didn't expect that Lu Jiu's kung fu was higher than me. ”
Guan Jiunian looked at him and was a little sad: "Coincidentally, you and I, as well as Lu Jiu, all have a 'nine' in our names, which may be ...... Fate, right?"
"Of course, it's fate. Feng Jiubao said: "Prince, kill me, Feng Jiubao chose the wrong path, and he died unjustly." ”
Guan Jiunian stared at Feng Jiubao: "I want to tell you that I will be a qualified king." ”
Feng Jiubao nodded, wanting to give it up, only to remember that his hands had been abolished.
"Under Feng Jiubao and Jiuquan, I wish the crown prince a smooth ascension to the throne and blessings in all directions. ”
Guan Jiunian nodded, glanced at Lu Jiu, Lu Jiu's hand rose and fell, Feng Jiubao's throat showed a thin knife mark, his eyes widened, he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and said with difficulty: "Sinner...... Collar...... Die....... ”
Then lay on the ground, motionless.
Guan Jiunian looked at him lying on the ground sadly: "I used to treat you as a brother." ”
Guan Jiunian sighed, stood up, and walked a few steps: "Lu Jiu." ”
"In. ”
"Kill all four of them. ”
The four people who were kneeling were already frightened and kowtowed.
"Prince, we don't know what Mr. Feng does!"
"Ask the prince to spare his life, beg the prince to spare his life!"
Lu Jiu's knife was fast, and in an instant, the four people were already lying in a pool of blood.
Guan Jiunian said: "Let's go, time is pressing, we have to go to work." ”
Li Huachen drank
It was a little too much, he returned to the hotel drunk, someone waited for him to wash, and then fell down on the bed, and a maid took off his coat for him and asked him to cover the quilt.
I don't know how long I slept, but I heard someone knocking on the door, and I was very anxious.
Li Huachen got up uncomfortably, walked to the door slowly, and said depressedly: "It's coming, who's so annoying." ”
"Lao Jiu, it's me, open the door!"
Li Huachen opened the door: "Second brother, what's wrong?"
The crown prince Li Zhun, the seventh master Li Liang, Da Hei, Jiang Jian and others were all at the door with serious expressions. The prince said eagerly: "Something happened to Nanban, we have to go back quickly." ”
"What's wrong?"
Li Liang said: "The lord of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom has died, and the five people in the Eight Pictures have come to seize power together with the second master, Guan Jiuyang, and now the Southern Barbarian Kingdom has been split into two groups, and the situation is very dangerous." ”
Li Zhun said: "I called my father, he asked us to go back overnight, and he will come to intervene in the affairs of the Southern Barbarian Country." ”
Li Huachen was stunned: "Wait, wait, who do you say is dead?"
"King Nanban, Guan Daqian!" the prince said eagerly.
Li Huachen said: "What about Guan Ju and Guan Yan?"
Li Zhun's eyes widened: "You really don't want beauties, do you care about them at this time?"
Li Huachen suddenly became energetic: "We have signed a treaty with them, how can we leave at this time?"
Li Liang felt that Li Huachen was simply talking in a dream: "Lao Jiu, the situation here is no longer beyond your control. Now the envoys of various countries are standing still and hiding far away, you are their uncle, stay, you may be considered a supporter of the princelings, it is very dangerous!"
Li Huachen pinched his chin and thought about it: "I want to stay." ”
"Nonsense!" Li Zhun said angrily: "When is this? Do you still think this is the northern country? You can mess around as you want? This is the southern barbarian country, and your princely status is not used here." There are really swords and soldiers, and no one can be found to reason when they are killed. ”
Li Huachen shook his head: "I signed, and I have to fulfill my oath." I have to go and see, you go first, Jiang Lian, you stay with me. ”
"Yes. ”
Li Zhun stomped his feet angrily: "Lao Jiu, do you really think that you are the savior? Do you think you can keep your father-in-law? Who are the people who hold the real power in the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, who is in the same party with whom, who has the initiative, and who may do it, do you know all of this? What is the use of you staying?"
Li Huachen grabbed his clothes and put them on, pushed the door and went out: "I'll go to the Nanban Royal Court now, and Jiang Lian will follow." Second brother, seventh brother, you go back first, it's too dangerous here, you can't all stay here. If I hang here, tell my dad that I don't have to take revenge. ”
"You ....... ”
Li Liang thought for a while: "Prince, what do you think?"
Li Zhun said: "It is my father's will to go back, and we can't resist the will." ”
"Alright, let's go back first. Lao Jiu has many ways, and he will protect himself. Ordinary people shouldn't dare to touch him, after all, he is the prince of our northern country. ”
Neither Li Liang nor Li Zhun wanted to stay.
They all know how cruel and dangerous this struggle is. Li Huachen is a good prince of the northern kingdom, and now he is also the titular uncle of the Nanban. However, when those people start a struggle for supreme power, they will definitely take all their chances.
When the time comes, just find a scapegoat, and then go to communicate with the northern country, the wood is already in the boat, and things will not be easy to do.
Li Huachen took Jiang with him
When he hurried to the royal court, martial law was already under martial law, and the two groups of people confronted each other nervously.
They were all brightly armoured, and their swords and spears were unsheathed, but no one quarreled, they all just stared at each other, and no one moved.
Li Huachen walked here, and immediately a group of people stopped Li Huachen: "Stop, what are you doing?"
Jiang Jian said: "Are you blind? This is the son-in-law of the prince of your Southern Barbarian Kingdom, the Ninth Highness of the Northern Warring States, Li Huachen!"
One said coldly: "Now that the royal court is discussing major matters, no outsiders are allowed to enter!"
Another person said angrily: "Nonsense! His Royal Highness the Ninth is the son-in-law of my Southern Barbarian Country, and he has already issued a document to announce to the world, he is also one of the members of the royal court of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, what is your identity, dare to stop it?"
"Hmph, although it is announced today, it is only an engagement ceremony, and before the official wedding, he is not the son-in-law of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. And even if he is a son-in-law, he is also a foreigner, a native of the North, and the internal affairs of the Southern Barbarian Country, he has no right to participate, no right to speak, and no identity to participate in politics!"
"Whether His Royal Highness the Ninth has an identity or not, whether he has the right or not, it is not up to you to decide! Your Highness the Nine, please come with me, I will see who dares to stop it today!"
Shao Huohai, one of the captains of the Inner Court Guard, was furious: "Bi Zhanyuan!
Bi Zhanyuanlong, who was also one of the captains of the Inner Court Guard, said: "Shao Huohai, are you afraid that after His Royal Highness the Ninth enters in, he will assist the prince in suppressing the rebellion?"
Shao Huohai said: "Now who is the rebel and who is the suppression, it has not yet been decided!"
Bi Zhanyuan said: "I am ordered by the prince to lead the security defense of the inner court!"
Shao Huohai said: "I am ordered by the king to lead the security and defense of the inner court!"
"The king has passed away, and now only the crown prince has ordered the southern kingdom!"
"I didn't see the king's body, I only listened to the second master's orders!"
"Shao Huohai, you are forcing the palace to rebel!"
Bi Zhanyuan said: "Wrong! I am setting things right and insisting on the mission delivered by the first king!"
"Someone! Take down Shao Huohai, and if you dare to stop it, you will be dealt with as a rebellion, and you will be killed!"
"Brothers!" Shao Huohai drew his knife: "The time has come to be loyal to the monarch and the country, follow me to kill the rebels!"
"Hey, hey, okay, okay, okay, don't call the number, I drank too much and my head hurts. Li Huachen said on the side: "Don't quarrel between the two of you, in short, I want to go in, but you won't let me, right?"
Bi Zhanyuan said: "Your Highness the Ninth rest assured, since I, Bi Zhanyuan, dare to stand here, I am not afraid of him." Today is the blood-stained royal court, and I will send you in too. ”
Li Huachen understood. This Bi Zhanyuan is his own person, in other words, he is a princeling, and he followed his father-in-law, and that Shao Huohai is obviously the second master's person, and the second master himself is probably here to force the palace to seize power.
There is now a stalemate inside and outside, and the situation is unclear.
There are two situations, one is that they are evenly matched, so they are in the stalemate stage, and no one dares to act rashly; the other is that his father-in-law is about to be unable to hold on, and the other party thinks that he is in a safe position to win, and is not in a hurry to make a move, and wants to force the princelings to obey.
Bi Zhanyuan knew that he could put pressure on the Second Master Party, so he would do his best to escort him in, and of course Shao Huohai also knew that after he went in, it would definitely be unfavorable to the Second Master Party, so he would definitely not let himself in.
In the morning, he was still welcomed in as a distinguished guest, and now he wants to go in, but he has to be in the shadow of swords and swords, this is the royal court.
