Chapter 343: Desperate Confrontation!
Although the scene has been controlled by the Praetorian Guards, to avoid any more chaos, he escorted the emperor and the hundred officials to the Banyan Garden.
Yan Du was left behind by the large army because of his weak legs and feet, and he walked through the alley alone, and the moonlight stretched his shadow for a long, long time.
There was a little movement behind him, and the corners of Yan Dui's mouth twitched, and he continued to walk unhurriedly.
When he walked to a fork in front, he dodged and disappeared at a very fast speed, and the people who followed him hurriedly followed, and when he came to the fork in the road, he didn't have time to see clearly, and in the next moment a knife had reached the neck of the person who came.
Yan Dui's overly cold face appeared behind the visitor, "Your Royal Highness, you have followed me all the way, what have you discovered?"
This person is none other than the King of England, Cold Rain Hail!
A look of astonishment flashed on his face, and then he sneered, "Should this king call you His Royal Highness the Seventh or Yan Shuai or the King of Zhenbei?"
"Whatever you like. ”
"It's still ......"
The next moment, Leng Yufei violently separated Yan Dui's hand, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand was turned, and the sharp blade stabbed towards Yan Dui. And Yan Dui moved faster, barely seeing that his figure had avoided the sword, and the knife in his hand slashed through Leng Yu's neck.
The two trembled in close proximity for dozens of rounds, unable to hurt each other for a single minute, and then slowly widened the distance and separated themselves a few steps away.
Remember https://m in a second.
But this is the king's people chasing after him, more than a dozen soldiers in armor, all of them are imposing, and they are masters at a glance.
The king's eyes flashed with cruelty, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then in the next moment, a dark shadow moved in the dark, and he looked towards one place, only to see arrows with a cold light facing him.
He's the prey that caught him!
"You are worthy of being the king of Zhenbei, this king has underestimated you. Leng Yufei snorted coldly.
Yan Du raised his hand, and in the next moment, the man in black in the dark quickly erased his traces like a receding tide.
Leng Yufei was silent for a moment, and raised his hand to make his subordinates retreat.
"Do you know why I'm following you?"
Yan Du turned around and continued to walk slowly towards the alley, "His Royal Highness King Xu Ying saw something." ”
Leng Yufei looked at the person walking in front, obviously he was a prisoner, and he was a lame man, but he could stir up a storm and make him tremble.
"I see you approaching the Prince. ”
"See only this?
"You have an arrow in your hand. ”
"So what?"
The arrow plunged into the prince's chest. ”
Yan Du glanced sideways at Leng Yuhai, "I promise you never saw this scene. ”
Leng Yuhail squinted, "You want to say it's not you?"
"I think I'm doing it so secretively that no one can see it. ”
Leng Yuhail's pupils shrank suddenly, "Sure enough, it's you!"
"I told you. ”
"Why did you tell me that you weren't afraid that I would report you?"
Yan Du stopped and laughed lowly, "His Royal Highness the King of England snatched 10,000 stone grain from Yuzhou, this matter is small to say, but His Royal Highness is sympathetic to the soldiers and does things out of line, but to put it on a big scale, His Royal Highness grabbed food, disregarded military discipline in vain, and what his intentions are, then he will say casually with some people who want to bring down His Highness." ”
"So what?"
"The crown prince was assassinated, and the battle for the heir began, and some people would even bite His Highness to death like crazy. It's better to fish than to be fished, you say?"
"You killed the prince, is the purpose ......?"
"Help His Royal Highness take the throne!"
Banyan Garden, after Yan Duan entered, he stood behind the civil and military officials, but he saw that they all lowered their heads, as if they were sad about the death of the prince, but in fact, they were all fighting Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.
When the crown prince is dead, who killed him? What is the purpose? When the prince is gone, who can become the new prince? What is the emperor thinking? Who can sit back on the crown prince among the princes and princes? The power behind the prince is the hardest?
The death of the crown prince can be described as a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and the undercurrent of the Beijin court began to surge.
Yan Dusk lowered his eyes, wanting to escape from Beijin, the water was too clear, only muddy water could hide people's ears and eyes.
The emperor has nine sons, in addition to the dead, there are now four princes, King Rui, five princes, King Qing, six princes, eight princes, King Ying, and nine princes, these five sons.
The principle is that if you are crowned king, you will lose the qualification to fight for the succession, but now that the crown prince is dead, everything can be restarted.
Several of them are in the Banyan Garden, and their hearts are probably bubbling.
At this time, the emperor came, and he had just lost his eldest son, and he seemed to have aged a lot, and his eyes were still red.
"Big brother, you died so miserably! Brother will never see you again, God, you are so ruthless!"
Before the emperor sat down, the Nine Emperors standing at the end suddenly howled, looking grief-stricken, and he had to be supported by the little guy next to him, otherwise he would have softened to the ground.
"Big brother, you let your father send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, how can you bear it! My younger brother is often taught by you, and the scenes here come to mind, only to feel that the world is discolored, and all things are sad together, I really want to go with you......"
"Then let's go together!" said the emperor.
The Nine Emperor Princes cried so much that they didn't hear the emperor's words, "Huh?"
The emperor looked at the ninth son and sneered: "Aren't you going with your eldest brother?"
"My son is so sad......"
"Then let's go together, so that your eldest brother will not be alone. ”
The Nine Emperors were stupid, seeing that their father didn't seem to be joking, they couldn't help but burp in fright, "Erchen...... Erchen gaffes!"
At that moment, he quickly retreated.
There are Nine Emperor Princes who set an example, and others dare not perform the drama of brotherhood anymore. The scene fell silent, and the big guy lowered his head, and he didn't dare to come out.
After a long while, the leader of the Praetorian Guard came forward and reported: "Your Majesty, the assassin has been caught!"
The emperor's pupils shrank: "Bring people up!"
Caught?
Leng Yufei frowned, and couldn't help but glance at Yan Dui behind him, seeing that he lowered his eyes, looking calm, and there was no trace of panic.
Could it be that he still has an arrangement?
Soon he was brought down at this moment, but to everyone's surprise, he was a thin and weak scholar, pushed forward by the Praetorian Guards, and he didn't walk very steadily.
When the emperor saw this scholar, his face couldn't help but sink.
"This is the murderer you caught?"
Zhao An, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, when we found him, he still had a bow and arrow in his hand, and he confessed to shooting the prince. ”
The scholar was pushed to his knees, and the emperor looked at him.
"Did you really shoot the prince?"
The scholar lowered his head and shrunk without speaking.
"If you don't speak, do you want to have your tongue cut out?" the emperor shouted angrily.
This sound made the scholar shudder, then slowly raised his head, swallowed a mouthful of saliva first, and then nodded, "Yes, I shot it." ”
As soon as these words came out, the hundreds of officials below gasped again and again.
It's really this scholar!
But that's how the murderer was caught?
Why do you think it's too simplistic?
"Why?" the emperor asked again.
The scholar took a deep breath and said, "I shoot casually, whoever I shoot is whoever I shoot, I can only say that the prince is unlucky." ”
The emperor squinted, "What a casual shot, someone ...... come"
"Your Majesty, I want to cry out for the crown prince!"
"What?"
Since the murderer cries out for the person he killed?
This...... Slippery world!
The scholar kowtowed to the emperor, "The student is the student who was supposed to participate in the Autumn Festival this year, but because the Yuzhou garrison ate empty salaries, it took up our school status, so we could not participate in the Autumn Festival." I waited for twelve students to come to Beijing to sue the emperor, but I didn't want to be hunted down by them, and now I am the only one left, I hate the court, I hate the protection of officials and officials, so I went to this extreme!"
"The students are wronged! The students' classmates are complaining! The countless young people in Yuzhou who have been taken up are wronged! The prince is also wronged!"
