Chapter 19: Betrayal?

Fu Jingshan is dead, and so is the murderer.

Many people were stunned by this change, and they couldn't react for a long time.

How can they say that death is death?

They can't accept this fact.

The whole tent was silent, and it was almost audible that a pin had fallen.

Only Fu Chengwen, who had been out of the situation, muttered and asked, "What's the matter?" Who do you say...... Who died? ”

He was held back by the crowd and couldn't see what was going on inside, but, listening to their conversation, he knew it wasn't a good thing.

Fu Chengwen's heart was panicked and afraid, a pair of feet were rooted on the ground, and he couldn't take a step at all, and he also had a faint guess in his heart, but he was afraid to hear the answer, but he had to ask out loud.

His words broke the silence in the big tent, and most of the people slowly came back to their senses, and their eyes fell on him.

Subsequently, all the people surrounding Fu Jingshan's body silently made a way, and then knelt aside, obviously letting Fu Chengwen pass.

This kind of thing, it is impossible to hide it from Fu Chengwen, after all, he is already an adult, and even he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Before Fu Chengwen stepped forward, he saw his father lying on the ground, with a dagger in his chest, and the clothes on his body were soaked in blood, and his body did not move. His eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he instantly rushed forward, knelt in front of Fu Jingshan's corpse, and cried, crying and pushing him hard, crying in his mouth:

"Dad, what's wrong with you, Dad, wake up, if you die, what will your son do? Someone bullied his son, who avenged his son...... Dad, open your eyes and look at your son......"

Fu Chengwen was like a child who hadn't grown up, crying with a handful of snot and tears, how could he still have the image of the prince who was invincible before?

Seeing this, many courtiers and generals couldn't help but forget his previous evil deeds, and they suddenly felt sad and shed tears with him.

Sad, Fu Jingshan's death is fake, but it is more of a worry about his future.

Without Fu Jingshan, the backbone and pillar, can Da Zhou make a comeback? What does the future hold for them?

Even those who originally planned to take refuge in the imperial court, after seeing the tragic situation of Meng Yongshan, they couldn't help but retreat-

Who knows what it will be like when they take refuge in the past? It may be like Meng Yongshan, who was abused and used by Dayan, and had to implicate his family.

Therefore, those careful thoughts were dispelled.

However, what kind of virtue is this Fu Chengwen, they all know very well, they really can't believe a useless straw bag, and they can't put their net worth on him.

They all began to worry about their future.

"Who the hell killed my father?" Fu Chengwen raised his head crying, he looked around viciously, and asked with a cruel face: "There are so many of you, can't you protect my father?" It's all useless rubbish, rubbish! ”

The people who were targeted by him all lowered their heads with a weak heart, but immediately, they felt a little uncomfortable, in this case, how could they save people? Immortals can't do it! It wasn't they who asked His Majesty to support Meng Yongshan, how could they be blamed? couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied, but for the sake of the dead Fu Jingshan, no one was willing to refute him at this time.

"It was Meng Yongshan who killed His Majesty." After Gao Ping finished speaking calmly, he looked at Fu Chengwen, who was looking at him viciously, and suddenly knelt on one knee and continued: "The subordinates are incompetent, they have not protected His Majesty, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish him!" ”

"Punishment? Of course I'm going to punish you! If you hadn't been derelict in your duty to put this inside and outside stuff, how would my father have died? I'm going to let you bury my father!" ”

Gao Ping's words successfully pulled all the hatred on himself, or rather, he took all the responsibility, and also let Fu Chengwen stare at him, using him as a tool to kill his father and enemies and vent his anger.

Fu Chengwen is not too stupid, at least he knows that the culprit who killed his father is Dayan, but he can't deal with Dayan, so he can only find a scapegoat to vent his hatred and anger.

And Gao Ping is the unlucky ghost.

"Come on, immediately drag Gao Ping down to me and put him to death!" Fu Chengwen immediately ordered.

Gao Ping didn't seem surprised by this, knelt on the ground, and didn't say a word.

He didn't defend himself, and he looked like he was about to be killed, but others couldn't stand it, especially Shi Lengyu.

Originally, she was a little soft-hearted because Fu Chengwen suddenly lost her father, but now when she heard Fu Chengwen's words, her heart hardened again, and she was even angry with a feeling of anger and disgust, and she couldn't wait to give him a knife directly.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the emotion in her heart, stood up, and said in a loud voice, "I don't agree!" ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on her, she continued to say coldly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you really can't accept this order. ”

Fu Chengwen has long lost his admiration for Shi Lengyu, seeing that she swept his face, he was immediately annoyed and angry, he was originally afraid in his heart, afraid that after his father's death, these courtiers would put themselves in their eyes, he was eager to establish his prestige in front of everyone, so he chose to kill Gao Ping to establish his authority.

First, Gao Ping has always been a loner, and he is not good friends with anyone, and no one will intercede for him; Second, Gao Ping's identity is not bad, and he also has the ability, and killing him has a deterrent effect; Third, he has an old grudge against Gao Ping, and Gao Ping is very disrespectful to him on weekdays. So, he chose him to sharpen his knife.

Wait for his established prestige and ascend the throne as the emperor, see who dares to say that he is a straw bag and an idiot, he is quite proud of his own move, how can he allow others to destroy it?

Immediately said gloomily: "General Shi, this is an order from His Highness, no one can disobey it!" Do you want to disobey, or do you have enough to live and want to die with him? ”

Shi Lengyu was unmoved in the face of his threat, and said lightly: "Even if it is the emperor, it is indispensable to convince people with reason, and you can't force orders, let alone your Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Fu Chengwen's expression became more and more gloomy, and the sadness in his heart was diluted, leaving only anger and shame.

Shi Lengyu ignored his face and continued: "The last general just has a question to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to condemn him, then all of us present are guilty, because we have all neglected our duties and failed to protect His Majesty, so that His Majesty was victimized by spies." How can General Gao be blamed alone? ”

Fu Chengwen's face was ugly, and he wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start.

"In addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in the back just now, and he may not have seen it clearly, after His Majesty was killed, it was General Gao who was the first to find out, and he killed the murderer at the first time to avenge His Majesty, how to say, he also has more credit than all of us, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only not reward him, but instead blame General Gao? This is inevitably too ridiculous, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to be the one who will take revenge? Shi Lengyu was a little excited, and his tone became more and more unpolite.

Originally, Fu Jingshan's actions had made her feel cold, but this Fu Chengwen couldn't support the wall.

Such a lord, she is not willing to be loyal no matter what.

"Shi Lengyu, you are bold!" Fu Chengwen was annoyed and angry, stretched out his hand and pointed at her and said, "Is this your attitude towards Prince Ben?" You won't be afraid that I will punish you nine clans! ”

Shi Lengyu sneered and said: "I'm alone, I have no family for a long time, if you want to kill, you can kill it, as long as you have that ability." However, if you do this, the Great Zhou will definitely be destroyed in your hands? I have no reason to continue to be loyal to you and to the Great Zhou, so please forgive me for not accompanying me in the future. ”

She has 2,000 soldiers under her hands, and she is even friendly with the Red Lotus Army, Fu Chengwen is an empty prince, and it is a fantasy to want to move herself. She is not as obviously powerful as Gao Ping, but she stupidly lets him slaughter.

She is dying, and she has to die a worthy death, how could she die at the hands of such a straw bag and shameless people?

Fu Chengwen was so angry that his face turned red, and he clenched his fists and scolded her angrily: "Shi Lengyu, do you want to betray the Great Zhou, betray the White Lotus Society, and betray the prince?" You will not be afraid of retribution in the future. As a White Lotus Cultist, what will happen if you become a traitor, you should know best? ”

Shi Lengyu said: "You don't have to use this kind of words to press me!" Fu Chengwen, you are just the son of the head of the White Lotus Society, not the head of the White Lotus Society, and you can't replace the White Lotus Society. Even if I betray you and Da Zhou, it will not conflict with my beliefs. I only live for the beliefs and ideals in my heart, even if I can't enter the White Lotus Pure Land after death, I don't care at all, it's a big deal, I can't do things under people like you. ”

"You ......" Fu Chengwen was angry, angry, and hateful, he just wanted to immediately cut Shi Lengyu with a thousand knives, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, since you want to die, then I will fulfill you, come and take down this traitor, and execute him with Gao Ping!" ”

Unfortunately, no one listened to him, and the soldiers who were guarding him were completely unmoved by his orders.

He didn't even instruct these people.

Of the four or five thousand people under Fu Jingshan's command, two thousand are soldiers under Shi Lengyu, and more than a thousand are soldiers under Gao Ping, and the rest are patchwork together, each with its own generals.

It's just that the soldiers under Shi Lengyu and Gao Ping account for more than two-thirds of all Fu Jingshan's soldiers, and as long as they join forces, no one dares to attack them.

Fu Chengwen couldn't see the situation clearly, thinking that as long as he was a soldier of the Great Zhou, he would only obey his own orders, after all, he was the crown prince of the Great Zhou, the future emperor, who would he listen to if he didn't listen to his orders?

"Comeβ€”come quicklyβ€”you're all deaf, haven't you heard the order of this prince?" Fu Chengwen saw that the soldiers were unmoved, so anxious that he jumped to his feet, yelling and shouting, just like a monkey jumping up and down, how could he have the majesty of a prince? made the ministers present feel disdainful.

Only the old minister surnamed Li, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his hands high, looked into the sky, and cried bitterly with tears on his face: "Your Majesty, open your eyes and see, as soon as you leave, no one will put His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in their eyes?" They have lived up to your expectations and trust in them! How can you be willing to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suffer alone in this world? Please open your eyes and see! They all reversed ......"

Lao Chen, surnamed Li, is the father of the crown princess Li and Fu Chengwen's father-in-law. He has always been better to his son-in-law than his daughter, and he usually loves Fu Chengwen sincerely, and he doesn't care about his daughter's life or death, he only sternly admonishes his daughter to serve the prince and be filial to the emperor and queen, and it is precisely because of such a father that the Li family is so weak.

Hearing Li Lao's words, Shi Lengyu was not only indifferent, but even sarcastically said: "Since you said that we are opposed, if we don't obey your wishes, wouldn't we be too sorry for you?" From now on, all the soldiers under my command will break away from the Great Zhou and never die for the Great Zhou. Now you're satisfied, right? ”

After speaking, she looked at Gao Ping, who was still kneeling on the ground, and asked, "General Gao, what do you mean?" Do you want to continue to make senseless sacrifices, or do you want to leave Da Zhou like me? I know that you are loyal to Da Zhou, but you also have to see your future lord, is it worth your life? ”

Gao Ping finally spoke: "Your Majesty saved me before, I can't be sorry for him!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Fu Chengwen's expression was relieved, and then he looked at Shi Lengyu, who had changed his face slightly, with contempt, and said sneeringly: "Shi Lengyu, have you seen it?" He would rather be a dog by my side, fight and kill, than break away from Da Zhou, I don't think you will waste your efforts, not everyone is a traitor to Da Zhou like you......"

Before the words fell, he saw Gao Ling suddenly stand up and said: "However, what I owe to His Majesty has already been repaid, and now that he has died, we have both cleared, and I don't need to sell my life to his son anymore." ”
