Chapter 199: Face to Face (Part II)
King Rui rushed to the inner hall of the Hunting Palace in time, rescued Mu Qing from Huo Pei'an's sword, looked at Mu Qing expressionlessly and helped her up, and asked, "Are you okay?" ā
Mu Qing shook his head weakly and frowned, "Why did His Highness come?" ā
"I saw the signal sent to me by Master Hu, and I knew that something was going on in the Hunting Palace, so I rushed back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info King Rui said coldly, looking at his white cheeks, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly. But soon King Rui pulled his emotions back, he raised his eyes and looked around, and confirmed: "Has the emperor already left?" ā
"Your Highness, rest assured, the emperor has left safely." Mu Qing replied, and then couldn't help but cough a few times.
King Rui's deep eyes looked directly at Huo Pei'an, his voice was like ice, and he didn't even have any feelings, and said: "Huo Pei'an, you dare to do such a rebellious thing, if you are caught now, and hand over the antidote, maybe this king can let you return to the capital alive!" ā
"Hahahahaha, do you think I'm a three-year-old? If you return to the capital alive, in the end, you will not still die, what is the difference between dying early and dying late! I'm fighting to the death now, maybe there's still a chance to win! ā
Mu Qing covered his chest with his palms and sneered, "Win?!" You are simply dreaming, the emperor has escaped from the hunting palace, and the reinforcements are about to arrive, do you still think you have a chance of winning?"
"Even if Liang Yinhao successfully escapes, what if I arrange for the Qingbei Army in the capital to quietly deal with him!" Huo Pei'an said coldly, "As for the two of you, I can kill you now, and then say to the outside world that King Rui rebelled, failed to kill the king, and was finally exterminated by the Qingbei army led by me." ā
King Rui's eyes narrowed, his gaze was as cold as a sword, and he said, "It's despicable." The emperor already has the heart to spare you once, but he didn't expect that he didn't cherish it, but he wanted to embark on this road of no return! ā
"If you don't give it a go, how do you know who the final winner is?" Huo Pei'an had a wicked smile on his face, "I won once eight years ago, and this time, I am also the final winner!" Besides, do you really think that Liang Yinhao is kind enough to let me go? He's just afraid that I'll push me up, and then shake out all the shady things he did back then. ā
King Rui snorted coldly, looked at Huo Pei'an with great disdain, and said coldly: "Hmph, eight years ago, you jointly framed Yun Xiang for rebellion and brutalized Zhongliang, and now it has reached the point of dog eating dog, which is really ridiculous. ā
"You got it?!" Huo Pei'an was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "You already know that Liang Yinhao also had a share in the things back then?" Now that you already know, you can come back as if nothing happened? Willing to stay by Liang Yinhao's side and make cattle and horses for him?! ā
"I never do things for anyone, I do things for the country, for the thousands of dawn people!" King Rui raised his head and said, the expression on his face did not change much.
"Hahaha, I see! I understand! Huo Pei'an laughed wantonly, "It's so high-sounding, in the final analysis, it's not for the sake of the throne." The reason why you did everything possible to return to the capital, return to Liang Yinhao, and endure the humiliation is to one day retry the old case eight years ago and pull Liang Yinhao off the throne with your own hands. ā
King Rui looked straight ahead and was silent.
Mu Qing looked at King Rui slightly with her peripheral vision, and she saw his firmness in her eyes. In the end, she smiled with relief, and then said to Huo Pei'an: "You don't have to do the dying struggle anymore, the general trend has gone, and it is time for you to have to admit defeat." ā
"Failure?! Even if I lose today, I'm going to kill all of you here, and I want you all to bury me!" Huo Pei'an had obviously entered a state of madness, his eyes were red, and he pointed at King Rui and scolded angrily, "Especially you! Liang Yinhuan! Why are you like a bed bug that you can't beat? In terms of this, we have obviously defeated you, but I didn't expect you to come back step by step, and also united with the cult Lingshan Gang to frame me and harm me to this point. It's all because of you, because of you! ā
Rui Wang knew that Huo Pei'an was almost no different from a madman now. Some people are particularly vulnerable in the face of complete failure, and once he can't face his own failure, it will either be laissez-faire or crazy, and Huo Pei'an obviously belongs to the latter. He attaches too much importance to fame and fortune, and he can't let go of the resentment and hatred in his heart, so the final result can only be madness.
King Rui sighed helplessly and said, "What if you kill us?" Why don't you think about it, in fact, you have been doing it wrong all along. ā
"Wrong? What's wrong with me?! Some people are destined to sacrifice others for what they want, some people are just destined to be sacrificed, and where am I wrong? Huo Pei'an was still trapped in his own obsession and couldn't extricate himself. Suddenly, he changed his words and said with a wicked smile: "But.... Maybe I should let you live and let you go to the capital. I want to see how far you will fight with that ungrateful thing of Liang Yinhao in the future! ā
Mu Qing whispered behind King Rui: "Huo Pei'an is crazy now, it doesn't make sense for you to reason with him." While the situation is still in our favor, let's take him down quickly! ā
King Rui nodded, feeling that what Mu Qing said was reasonable, and now at such a critical time, he really didn't have to argue with him more. So, King Rui raised the long sword in his hand again, up to Huo Pei'an. Rui Wang has practiced martial arts since he was a child, although he is not a martial arts master, but the kung fu of capturing a three-legged cat like Huo Pei'an is more than enough.
However, except for King Rui and Mu Qing, Huo Pei'an did not show a particularly panicked and frightened look at this time, but for some reason showed a trace of confidence, mixed with an indescribable weirdness.
Just when Mu Qing felt that something was wrong, King Rui beside him suddenly loosened his fingers, and the long sword fell to the ground. Immediately, King Rui collapsed weakly to the ground, Mu Qing hurriedly squatted down to help him, and asked worriedly, "How are you?" ā
"I felt like I didn't have any strength in my body, as if my whole body was hurting." Liang Yinhuan said with difficulty, as if it was a little difficult to breathe.
Mu Qing's heart sank, King Rui's state at this time was exactly the same as everyone outside, and he couldn't use his strength in pain, obviously King Rui had also been hit by the poison that Huo Pei'an realized.
Huo Pei'an let out a hideous and terrifying smile again, and said viciously: "Hahahahaha! Aren't you going to kill me? Didn't you say I lost? I'm going to see who loses first this time! (To be continued.) )
