Chapter 119: The Dust Has Settled
No one noticed that there was a glint in the woman's eyes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If it is really as His Highness said, the Emperor Taishang is too conceited, and now he actually lets himself get close to him so easily, could it be that this is the opportunity given to her by God?
Seeing that the woman in front of him didn't move, Gonggong Shen gave him a look, and someone immediately stepped forward, pulled "Yunshu" up, and pushed it in front of the emperor.
"It's best for the eldest princess not to toast and not eat and drink, the emperor's patience is limited."
A gleam crossed Gonggong's eyes, the woman took a deep breath, and then slowly sat down in front of the Emperor, learning from the appearance of those doctors on weekdays, and put her cold fingers on the pulse of the Emperor.
Her eyes were deep, but the corner of her eye fell on the bamboo forest outside, as if there were a few black shadows crossing, and the corners of the woman's mouth had already hooked a shallow arc.
"Princess, how's it going?"
Seeing that "Yun Shu" had not moved for a long time, Gonggong couldn't help but ask, but at this time, there was a burst of exclamations outside.
"There are assassins! Escort-"
Assassin?!
The Emperor Taishang and the Grand Duke were all startled, and were about to make a move, but they didn't want the eyes of the woman in front of them to change instantly, and they pulled out a dagger from their sleeves between the fire and light stones.
"Emperor Tai Beware!"
The guard behind him immediately shouted, but this woman was so close to the Emperor, she understood that victory or defeat was in this move, her eyes exuded endless chill, and she was about to send the dagger in her hand into the chest of the man who was slightly stunned.
"You, you're not Gongsun Shu?!"
The emperor's face was extremely gloomy, but the well-trained woman in front of her had already pulled out the dagger on the heart of the princess, and attacked the emperor again.
A series of explosions rang out outside, and the ground shook violently.
Hearing a tearing sound, the dagger in the woman's hand slashed through the sleeve of the emperor, and the blood stained his luxurious robe, and in the next second, the guards behind him had already rushed forward and quickly entangled with the woman.
I only heard a bang, there were countless black-clothed people breaking into the door, and there were constant wails and the sound of weapons colliding in his ears, the Emperor Taishang only felt that the wound on his arm was extremely hot, the sweat of the bean size had slipped from his forehead, and the vision in front of him gradually blurred, and several masters of the Wu family descended to his side from the sky and supported him behind him.
"Escort—"
"Want to go?!"
No one noticed that in the bamboo forest, a cold long arrow was already aimed at the man who was being guarded in the house. The endless killing intent was all gathered on this poisoned arrow, and the tight bowstring suddenly loosened.
I saw a silver light breaking through the air, penetrating the paper window, and hitting the heart of the emperor!
"Hmm-" The man was shocked, and looked back at the cold arrow inserted in his body at this moment in disbelief, and the masters of the Wu family around him were suddenly shocked, "The Emperor!" ”
At this moment, the entire small building has fallen into a fierce battle.
The two elders of the Wu family stood out and came to the side of the emperor, took out a pack of powder from their sleeves and smashed it on the ground, and in an instant, the thick white smoke flew around, blurring everyone's eyes.
"Chase!"
This team of killers followed the blood on the ground closely and came to the depths of the bamboo forest.
The woman at the head was wounded, but she didn't dare to forget the mission she was shouldering today.
"The Emperor Taishang received an arrow, and he must not be able to go too far! Split the hunt! ”
"Yes!"
……
Boundless pain came from behind, and the man on the couch woke up faintly.
The line of sight gradually became clear, and a surprised voice immediately came from his ears, "The Emperor is awake!" ”
Two embarrassed elders of the Wu family surrounded him, and the man on the couch slowly turned his head, but his brows frowned, "What about the assassin?" ”
"......" The elders of the Wu family glanced at each other, and this appearance made the Emperor Taishang immediately recall everything.
There was an unfamiliar curtain above his head, and he slowly raised his hand, not wanting to be in the next second, but his eyes were full of horror.
"This—This is ......"
The originally smooth and powerful hands were actually covered with a little fine lines at this moment, and he seemed to see his original withered palms, and sat up in shock.
"Your Majesty, be careful! I still have a wound on my shoulder......"
didn't want him to move, a wisp of silver immediately made the Emperor Taishang's pupils shrink, and a little bad premonition appeared in his heart, "Mirror? I want a mirror! ”
The eyes of the elders of the Wu family were full of hesitation, but they also understood that the matter could not be hidden for long.
A vague bronze mirror was handed to the Emperor Taishang's hand, the originally young face had actually floated with the vicissitudes of time at this moment, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes and the dull skin, the original black hair was already half silver white at the moment, and the old face made the Emperor think that he seemed to be in a dream.
The two elders of the Wu family immediately knelt down, "Emperor Qi, this elixir of immortality is still unstable, and now the Emperor Taishang is seriously injured, so he will consume part of his life, I believe that after recuperating from the external injury, with more conditioning, he will definitely be able to restore the original effect." ”
However, the man's movements trembled slightly, and his gaze slowly fell on his arm, the wound that had been bandaged.
In the frightened eyes of the Wu family elders, they ripped open the bandages as if they were crazy, revealing the knife wounds that had not completely stopped the bleeding.
The skin around him had long lost its youthful vitality, and the dull complexion was frighteningly familiar and dry, which made the emperor's heart instantly rise with infinite fear.
"Elixir of life...... No, it won't...... What about children? I want blood......"
Elder Wu raised his head hesitantly, "Back to the emperor's words, all the boys ...... They were all left in the small building, and at this moment, the small building has been captured by those people......"
What the?!
"Where's my father-in-law?"
“…… Participate in the father-in-law, in order to protect the emperor...... Already ......"
Yes, how did he forget that it was he who pushed the slave who had been with him all his life out to block the knife......
A cold smile appeared on the man's face, and he soon understood that he had fallen into Feng Ling's trap.
Gongsun Shu is fake! They will plan as they do, just to let the dead follow all the way to find their own place, this move, they are making a mistake!
"Hahaha, hahahaha......"
The man on the couch actually heard a burst of angry laughter, and his eyes were endlessly cold, "Pass the order, use all the troops, I, you must make them pay!" ”
At this moment, on the battlefield in Jiangnan.
"General, these Wu family's dead army is too strong, although the armor outside can resist their poisonous powder, but ......"
The general looked at the soldier's scarred appearance, and his eyes were full of solemnity.
Looking at the battle-filled sky ahead, His Majesty's elite army was defending against the Emperor's army in front, and the gradually receding defense line made the general feel unprecedented pressure.
No matter how they train on weekdays, in the end, the Lotus Kingdom has been calm for so many years.
And behind the Emperor Taishang is the support of the entire Wu family, their soldiers are ruthless, most of them are killers, in comparison, their army is indeed much inferior.
If it weren't for these weapons designed by Gu Gongzi, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long.
"We must hold on to this city, if even this place is captured...... the general turned his head and looked at this area that had long been an empty city, and his mood became more and more solemn.
Further back is the hinterland of the Lotus Kingdom, dotted with the most prosperous towns of all the Lotus Kingdom, and it is hard to imagine how the Lotus Kingdom would change dramatically if the flames of war were allowed to spread to that area.
The people have been comfortable for too long, but they are afraid that they will not be able to withstand such changes and wars.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard an earth-shattering noise, and the ground shook violently, and the general was shocked in his heart, thinking that it was a sneak attack by the emperor's army, so he immediately pulled out the long sword on his waist and rushed out, not wanting to, everything in front of him had made him speechless with surprise.
I saw that the house next to the city wall had been blasted open with a big hole, and the dust flying in the sky was blurring his sight.
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
Below, a man's cough was heard in the thick smoke, and the general turned his head in shock, only to see Gu Xunfang's hand holding a flaming wooden stick to meet him, his face full of ecstasy. "It worked! It worked! Hahaha......"
"Gu, Gu Gongzi? It's ......"
The movement here had made all the soldiers poke their heads out, no one knew what was happening, and there was a strong smell of sulfur in the air.
"General! Ben Gongzi succeeded, and we will definitely win this battle! ”
Looking at the other party's confident appearance, a flash of light crossed the general's eyes, and he quickly greeted him from the city wall.
"Gu Gongzi didn't make a powerful weapon?"
Don't...... That collapsed house is Gu Gongzi's masterpiece?
After the smoke cleared, everyone finally saw clearly the strange giant iron cylinder placed in the corner, which was still billowing smoke.
"This—This is ......"
The general stretched out his hand, and was about to touch the fort, which was taller than a man, when a scorching heat immediately made him withdraw his hand.
"General, quickly, gather all the blacksmiths at once, with this cannonball, as much as the Emperor's army comes, we can bomb it down!"
Gu Xunfang's tone was indescribably excited, he had been researching this extremely lethal weapon, before, Yun Shu's prescription gave him such inspiration, he added sulfur and other flammable stone mines, and finally made this explosive cannonball, as long as these cannonballs were installed on the city wall, the army of the Emperor Taishang would not even want to step into the city gate half a step!
No matter how much poison they have in their hands, it is useless! Gu Xunfang seemed to have seen that the dust had settled on this battle......
