40. The siege of Taiji Palace
Shi Yuanji's expression was a little gloomy and said, "I understand, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it." Although the news from Hanoi is a bit urgent, it is better to take your time. ”
"In some time, I'll send the beggars to the edge of Hanoi and slowly make contact with the claws, and you're ready. ”
Li Laiheng quickly ate a piece of braised pork and said proudly: "Master, don't worry, I have brought 10,000 people and secretly stationed them in Feng Ho a hundred miles away." ”
"It seems that the Eight Pillars Kingdom has softened?" Li Laiheng suddenly thought of this question and asked it, and got Shi Yuanji's nod in response.
"The head of the Dugu family, Dugu has just been to me, and he has begun to show goodwill. Shi Yuanji said.
Li Laiheng clapped happily: "That's good, I can't wait." When will our beggar army drive to Hanoi and fight with the claws. ”
"Prince Bailong is not easy to mess with, whether we mortals can win against him or not depends on the guy in his hand and the courage in his heart. ”
Shi Yuanji smiled and said, "You haven't seen Prince Bailong, how do you know that he is not easy to mess with?"
Li Laiheng said with a smile: "Master, you are so powerful, the opponent who can make you take it seriously is definitely not easy to mess with." ”
"By the way, how is Yuan Rang's research?
Hearing this, Shi Yuanji's face suddenly fell. Seeing this, Li Laiheng immediately guessed something, frowned and said:
"Master, it can't be that something happened to Yuan Gongzi, right?"
Shi Yuanji simply recounted the matter, and also said the matter of Dugu Xin's defection to the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, and his depression could not be covered, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became depressed.
Li Laiheng listened, his expression was serious and solemn, and after thinking about it, he didn't say a word after a long time.
Shi Yuanji looked at him suspiciously, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, my Senior Brother Yuan will not die, and no one will harm him for the time being." What's more, Jing Mu Qian and they are still secretly protecting. ”
Li Laiheng's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in horror: "Master, you are wrong. Because of this, Yuan Rang is now dangerous. ”
"King Yan and you are now incompatible, no matter who Yuan Rang is assassinated by, he will not give up. ”
"Why?" Shi Yuanji was puzzled.
Li Laiheng slapped his thigh and said anxiously: "Why did the Emperor of Heavenly Mandate send Dugu Xin to assassinate Yuan Rang? Isn't it for fun? Isn't it just for you to take the initiative to turn against the royal family and the Eight Pillars Kingdom?"
"Now, King Yan is roasted on the fire by the Emperor of Heavenly Mandate, even if he doesn't want to kill Yuan Rang, he has to kill him. ”
After saying this, Shi Yuanji was dumbfounded, and immediately understood what Li Laiheng meant, but he couldn't accept it very much in his heart.
He still doesn't believe that people's hearts can be so bad.
"Master, where is he now? "Li Laiheng, what do you care about so much?" Picking up Shi Yuanji, he walked towards the outside of the restaurant.
The two hurriedly came to Chengyun Pavilion, Shi Yuanji's steps were a little staggering, and he always had some bad premonitions.
When they opened the door, but they didn't see a figure, the two looked at each other, speechless for a while, Shi Yuanji really began to panic in his heart.
"The bed is still hot, so I will look for it separately. Li Laiheng walked to the side of the bed, touched the quilt, and immediately came up with an idea.
Shi Yuanji nodded, sensing the mana fluctuations around him, and immediately set off, walking towards the place where the mana fluctuations were the most disordered and powerful.
"Could it be that the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny has removed Jing Muqian's protection here? he will do this, hehe, I really underestimated his downline. ”
"If you want people to kill people in Chengyun Pavilion without knowing it, only a natural disaster master can do it, which natural disaster will King Yan send to do this?"
"Forget it, I don't know them either, and after seeing them, I'll just go on a killing spree. ”
Thinking so, Shi Yuanji came to a rockery and saw a surprising scene.
Xiao Tao was disheveled, her face was frightened, and she was lying on the rockery weakly, with blood on her neck, and she had already died miserably. And before she died, it was clear that she was being bullied.
Yuan Rang was lying not far from Xiao Tao, his expression was both unwilling and sad, and in his chest, a large hole penetrated his chest and became his fatal wound.
Shi Yuanji knelt on the ground with a thud, panting, his eyes straightened, and he kept blaming himself in his heart.
He regretted that he had not perceived the danger and that he was still believing in those scheming careerists. Li Laiheng just listened to his relay, and deduced the development of the matter, why did he realize it so late?
A cold snort sounded behind him, followed by a pretentious sound of surprise, and someone said in an extremely exaggerated tone, half sarcastically and half questioning:
"Oh, I said that you are such a human-faced and beast-hearted fellow!"
"I love other people's goodness, and if I can't take it, I use it. actually bullied Xiao Tao in front of Yuan Rang, and killed them in order to seal his mouth. ”
"I never imagined that you were such a person!"
Shi Yuanji looked back and saw Yu Wentai with an exaggerated expression.
He sneered disdainfully and slowly stood up, a hideous smile on the corner of his mouth, which made Yu Wentai shudder.
"The things I asked Yuwenli to send to your Yuwen family don't seem to have any effect?"
"You actually used such indiscriminate means to harm my senior brother, and you still want to involve me?"
"Your Yuwen family is really killing yourself. ”
After that, Shi Yuanji looked at Yuwentai as if he was looking at a dead person.
Yu Wentai was initially shocked by Shi Yuanji's momentum, but then he came back to his senses, then looked at the people behind him, and retorted eagerly:
"You don't need to be so arrogant. There is justice in everything, and you have committed such a great crime, and you still want to be gracious?"
"You don't need to have a relationship with my Yuwen family, my Yuwentai is jealous and hateful, and when I see a villain like you, I am inseparable from you!"
"If I hadn't bumped into you, you might have destroyed your body and fled. It's a good thing that I came just in time to prevent wicked people like you from getting away with it!"
Behind him, a kind of Tai student dressed in green gold responded one after another, angrily accusing Shi Yuanji of killing people.
"So you're such a wicked person!"
"I don't know my heart. ”
"If you take the name of the Marquis of the Overlap, it's great?"
After the visual impact of blood, Shi Yuanji had already calmed down. A few words of cynicism could no longer anger him, and he looked at these students with a smile, and said with a smile:
"King Yan asked you to bring me something, just say it. But I want to say ugly things in front of me, your Yuwen family doesn't cooperate with me, then don't blame me. ”
"This is chosen by your Yuwen family itself. ”
"And you, just ordinary students, standing behind Yuwentai, pretending, who to show it?"
Shi Yuanji looked at Yu Wentai expressionlessly, which made him shudder. He suddenly discovered that King Yan might have calculated on him, and he had become a tool he used to achieve his goals.
But what is this purpose, King Yan did not explain.
No, it's not that King Yan didn't explain, Yuwentai thought of this, and he regretted it very much.
He had always felt that the Eight Pillars Kingdom and the Hedong royal family were united, but now it seemed that King Yan, an old immortal, was actually playing with him in applause.
Dozens of catchers got the news from nowhere, holding iron rulers and shackles engraved with dragon patterns, and hurried here.
Xiang Shi Yuanji, who was the leader, bowed his hand and said solemnly: "Chonghehou, we received a report that you killed someone because of adultery, so we want to arrest you, and I hope you will be forgiven." ”
Shi Yuanji's face was smiling, he stretched out his hands and held them flat, stood in front of the catcher and said, "Okay, I want to see who caused this matter." ”
The leader of the catcher is also clever, and his subordinates were about to put shackles on Shi Yuanji, but they were stopped by him.
"Master Hou, we are just acting impartially, don't worry. If it wasn't you, you would be cleared. ”
Shi Yuanji immediately understood, smiled and said, "Okay, let's go now." ”
Li Laiheng watched from afar, thought about it, and without saying a word, immediately ran out of the city.
He understands that now, no one can be trusted.
Under the leadership of Yu Kuai, Shi Yuanji was taken under the walls of the imperial palace.
He was not surprised at all, because it was King Yan himself standing in front of him.
"Overlap Hou, don't come unharmed. King Yan greeted with a smile.
If it weren't for the fact that Shi Yuanji was surrounded by a group of catchers, everyone would think that this was a friendly meeting between the elders and the juniors.
"Come on, Reunion Hou, we have a lot to say to you, I hope you don't refuse. ”
You are so arrogant, Shi Yuanji held back his anger and tried to put a smile on his face.
"Okay, I'll see what you have to say?"
In the Taiji Palace, the representative of the Eight Pillars Kingdom sat firmly on the left, and the teammates of King Yan in the Hedong royal family sat firmly on the right. They stared at Shi Yuanji, who was brought in by King Yan, and they wanted to kill him with their eyes.
"Hehou coincides, I'll tell you the truth, now, as long as you are honest and soft, we can spare you from dying, otherwise ......"
Dugu Long has not been taken seriously for a long time, Dugu Long has been separated from him, and Dugu Xin does not know where to go. The entire Dugu family has become a retinue driven by others from the head of the Eight Pillars Kingdom.
He is unwilling, and always hopes to save a game and let Dugu Yao understand that he is the mainstay of the Dugu family.
Now that Yuan Rang has been killed, it is no longer possible for the Marquis to reconcile with them, and he needs to stand up and act as the face of the Eight Pillars National Clan.
As he expected, when he was the first to stand up, the representatives of the Eight Pillars Nation glared at him. He suddenly felt like he was being watched, and smiled contentedly.
Not being jealous is a mediocre talent, Dugulong has always felt so, and now the Eight Pillars National Clan is so angry with him, which makes him feel that he has meaning.
King Yan didn't have Dugulong's inexplicable thoughts, he said very directly: "Dugulong is right, Master Hou, you are so bold that you actually raped and killed the banshee, and also killed Yuan Rang, the Yuan family will not give up with you." ”
