Chapter 440: Demonstrations
"Lord Wang, the emperor is here!" The guard next to Tang Mingxuan reminded carefully.
Tang Mingxuan frowned, he just came back and came over, is it a demonstration? Thought I couldn't do anything to you, did I? Tang Mingxuan sneered in his heart.
"I'll spare your dog's life this time, if you can't do anything next time, I don't think you will come back!" Tang Mingxuan said viciously to Ah Huo.
"Yes...... It's ......" Ah Huo crawled on the ground, only promised, and there was no longer the cold and pressing of that day.
When Xue Tianao entered the hall, Tang Mingxuan was sitting in the hall drinking tea, looking careless.
"Mingxuan participated in the emperor, I don't know what the emperor is looking for Mingxuan?" Tang Mingxuan put down the tea in his hand and pretended to participate.
Xue Tianao smiled coldly, yes, pretending to be very similar, but sooner or later, you old fox will show his tail.
"Hehe, Mingxuan is really good at laughing. I came to see if my courtiers needed something to come? Xue Tianao naturally declared that he was the master of this fertile land.
"The emperor said this a little estranged, Ming Xuan just thought it because he was worried about the emperor's body." Tang Mingxuan raised his eyebrows.
"Worried? Hehe, Mingxuan, I really don't know that you're worried about me? Xue Tianao sat in the upper hall very casually, playing with the cup of tea that Tang Mingxuan had just drunk in his hand.
"Yes, we are brothers, otherwise why does the emperor always like the things that his brother likes, and even the tea that his brother has drunk." Tang Mingxuan's implication was very simple, that is, he Xue Tianao had taken the Tang family's country.
"Presumptuous!" Xue Tianao threw away the cup in his hand, and with a bang, the cup shattered, and the tea splashed everywhere, so frightened that the servants fell to the ground one after another, only Tang Mingxuan stood neither humble nor arrogant.
Tang Mingxuan smiled coldly, and raised his eyebrows wickedly, "Your Majesty, is it wrong for my brother?" β
"Mingxuan, if you have other ideas, you should know that your ending is the same as that cup of tea, the jade is burned!" Xue Tianao stood in front of Tang Mingxuan, his eyes burning, as if he wanted to devour him.
"Thoughts? The idea of the subordinate brother is nothing more than the peace of the country and the people! Tang Mingxuan said coldly.
"Very good, attend tonight's peace banquet on time!" Xue Tianao turned his back to Tang Mingxuan, and his words were extremely cold.
"Brother must be on time!" Tang Mingxuan bent down to receive his life.
Xue Tianao smiled coldly, he must let Tang Mingxuan see his position clearly, and he didn't want to compete with him, because he was not worthy, and even Tang Siqi was not qualified!
Tang Siqi and his entourage have also arrived in the capital of Wei. Looking at this once familiar scene, Tang Siqi felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that he would never return here, but now he has come back.
"Let's find a place to live first!" Tang Siqi looked at Shopkeeper Chen and said.
Shopkeeper Chen knew Tang Siqi's identity and was not surprised by his current reaction, so he found an inn according to Tang Siqi's arrangement and placed Xiao Wanyao well.
"What are you going to do now?" Shopkeeper Chen asked.
What to do? Tang Siqi didn't think about what to do, so he could only take one step at a time.
"Shopkeeper Chen, you take care of Yu'er first, and I'll go and investigate the situation first." Tang Siqi looked at Xiao Wanyao on the bed and said lightly.
Shopkeeper Chen nodded, it was his duty to take care of the sick, not to mention that he admired Xiao Wanyao a woman.
Out of the inn, Tang Siqi went straight to the palace. He is too familiar here, but he can't enter the palace, and it is estimated that his former henchmen have been replaced by Xue Tianao! So how can he bring Xiao Wanyao into this palace, the most important thing is that he doesn't want others to find out about his Tang Siqi's existence!
At the gate of the city, Tang Siqi was wearing a straw hat and lowered his head, he didn't want to meet acquaintances here.
"I heard that the saint has only returned to the palace, just like the prince is demonstrating......" said a tea seller next to him.
"Demonstrations? Why? The other chimed in.
"You don't even know that? The emperor's throne is the ...... of the Tang family."
Tang Siqi sneered, hehe, Tang Mingxuan, do you think that if you betrayed me, you would be able to ascend to the throne of God Emperor? Hehe, what a fool's dream. Tang Siqi couldn't help but sneer.
"How about that?"
"How? You're stupid! It must be to let the prince stay obediently, and it is best not to have different intentions. The tea seller said sarcastically.
"Uh...... So tonight's Christmas Eve is also a demonstration feast? The man finally paused.
The tea seller nodded, then put his finger to his lips and motioned for him to say no more.
When Tang Siqi heard about the peace banquet, he suddenly had a plan in his heart, since he couldn't take Xiao Wanyao into the palace to see him, then tempt him out of the palace, Xue Tianao's feelings for Xiao Wanyao, Tang Siqi knew it.
Everything is ready and only owes Dongfeng, Tang Siqi returned to the inn, told the shopkeeper Chen of his thoughts, and asked the shopkeeper Chen to cooperate.
Tang Siqi was only responsible for luring Xue Tianao to the inn, while Shopkeeper Chen was responsible for Xue Tianao to rescue Xiao Wanyao.
The night came as scheduled, and the palace was bustling with activity.
Xue Tianao sat in the highest position, followed by Tang Mingxuan and Zhao Muqing...... Sit in order of position.
Xue Tianao looked at Tang Mingxuan coldly, he wanted him to see clearly who the rivers and mountains of Wei belonged to tonight! His Xue Tianao's territory is not yet the turn of others to dictate.
Tang Mingxuan squinted his eyes and looked around, tonight's peace banquet, maybe he was destined to be unsafe. I didn't kill him last time in southern Xinjiang, so let's end his life tonight!
Tang Mingxuan kept turning the Buddha beads in his hand, he had arranged killers before coming here today, and the killers this time were all carefully selected by him, and they were definitely much more lethal than the last time.
When everyone was almost drunk, Tang Mingxuan would send out a signal to wipe out Xue Tianao's forces.
"Thank you, ministers, for making me very happy." Xue Tianao picked up a glass of wine and said with a smile, and then drank the wine down.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live...... The ministers also raised their wine glasses and toasted Xue Tianao one after another.
Drink, drink, all drunk, haha, Tang Mingxuan was happy in his heart.
At this time, Tang Siqi also came to the scene, although he couldn't come openly, it was not difficult for him to sneak in.
Seeing Xue Tian arrogantly sitting in the hall, his heart was full of ridicule, and Tang Mingxuan on the other side seemed to be indifferent to such a banquet, he knew his younger brother too well, he must have planned some conspiracy.
At the banquet, singing and dancing were so unhappy. All the dancing girls are as beautiful as flowers, light as swallows, dancing in the hall with music. Everyone enjoyed the dance with a smile on their faces.
"Come on...... Come on, drink, drink together. Xue Tianao picked up the wine glass again and motioned to his father-in-law to fill it for everyone.
"This feast is extraordinary for me, I have to deal with some people, they are lawless and ambitious!" When he said this, Xue Tianao's eyes stared at Tang Mingxuan, holding the wine glass in his hand. His purpose in doing this was to make an example of him, to make him Tang Mingxuan know that he couldn't touch him, but he didn't want to touch him.
Hearing this, the civil and military officials began to discuss one after another. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, "What the hell is going on?" β
And those loyal to Tang Mingxuan remained silent, and they all knew about tonight's actions.
Suddenly, Xue Tianao slammed the cup in his hand to the ground and slapped the table angrily, "Bring me the official book!" β
Soon, the guards with knives brought Wang Zhuo, the secretary of the ministry, up.
"You? Pretty good, huh? What did you do with me on your back? Xue Tianao stepped forward and gave Wang Zhuo a kick directly, he was most unaccustomed to this kind of eating inside and outside of the steak.
Wang Zhuo was prostrate at Xue Tianao's feet, but his eyes looked at Tang Mingxuan, "Weichen doesn't know!" β
"Don't know? Hmph, where did you get your residence in the east of Chang'an City? With that little money in the court, can you afford to buy such a big mansion? The dΓ©cor is comparable to my dormitory! β
"I ...... I ......" Wang Zhuo was speechless, "I didn't feel sorry for His Majesty, but I still hope that His Majesty will see it." β
"That's enough, I know! Someone will put me in prison, and tomorrow I will personally behead me! All of his family were exiled......"
When Wang Zhuo heard this, his heart was already cold, and he called out loudly: "Lord Wang, you save me, save my family......"
Tang Mingxuan didn't hear it at all, he drank a little wine by himself, and his indifferent eyes didn't have any sympathy at all. It wasn't his family who killed, so why should he sympathize, not to mention that he didn't recognize his six relatives!
Tang Siqi raised his eyebrows, hehe, sure enough, Tang Mingxuan was still like this, indifferent, indifferent, and without any human feelings.
Seeing that Xue Tianao had no intention of stopping, he had to uproot Tang Mingxuan's people, Tang Mingxuan couldn't sit still, he really wanted to rush up and give Xue Tianao two knives.
Tang Siqi knew that if he continued to develop like this, it would be impossible to let Xue Tianao leave. He had to hurry up and get Xue Tianao's attention and interrupt the battle.
Suddenly, a black shadow broke through the crowd and went straight to Xue Tianao, and Xue Tianao's whole body stiffened. Allowed to be held hostage by the black shadow, this dagger is very familiar to him, it was a gift he gave to Xiao Wanyao that day, and it was attacked by Fanbang.
"Who are you? Do you have a relationship with Xiao Wanyao? Xue Tianao asked in a low voice.
Tang Siqi sneered, "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that she is in my hands!" β
"On what basis should I believe?"
"Believe it or not! It's your only chance......"
"Protect the emperor, the archers are waiting for ......," Zhao Muqing shouted. After a while, the archers were in place.
"You can't escape!" Xue Tianao stared at Tang Siqi coldly, as if he didn't believe that Xiao Wanyao was in his hands.
"I don't need to run away, and you can't find her!" Tang Siqi sneered, he knew Xue Tianao too well, and Xiao Wanyao was his dead end.
Sure enough, Xue Tianao immediately asked Zhao Muqing to stop.
"I believe you, how can I find her?" Xue Tianao's eyes flashed slightly, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.
"City Gate Inn...... After saying that, Tang Siqi held Xue Tianao hostage at the gate, "Believe me, I'll go with me." β
"Keep up...... Protecting the Emperor's ......"
At this moment, Tang Mingxuan frowned, a touch of coldness crossed his eyes, what the hell is going on? Why did a man in black suddenly appear? He sneaked into the palace and was not found, which shows that this person must not be an idle person.
Out of the city gate, Tang Siqi's dagger was released. In a blink of an eye, Tang Siqi also disappeared, and from a long distance, Xue Tianao vaguely heard a voice, "Remember, City Gate Inn." β
Under the empty sky, Xue Tianao looked so helpless, he still couldn't let go of her after all, was she really in the City Gate Inn? Who is that dark shadow, and why didn't you take me there? Is it another trap? Or is this qiΔ all arranged by Tang Mingxuan? But the dagger, he won't get it. Wan Yao understands that even if he dies, he will not give up the dagger. So she's definitely here!
