422 Defeated
"Okay, very good, Lao Jiu, I really underestimated you!!"
Rong Lan looked up at King Yu fiercely, looking at Lao Jiu, who had never been taken to heart by him in the past, and Ah Yin, who was expressionless beside him, everything suddenly became clear. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Why did there be a thunder crossbow in his mansion, why Xie Yiliu was able to mobilize the guards in his mansion to intercept Xue Rou, why did everything he did seem to have fallen into someone else's calculations, and why did he come to this point......
It turned out to be because of him!
King of Chongqing!
He hates it!
"Rong Yan!!"
Rong Lan shouted loudly, his face was distorted and twitched, the hatred in his eyes was stronger than ever, he thought that he was fighting step by step, fighting with King Fu, fighting with King Qing, reining in the Xie family, clamping down on the Xiao family, and even secretly plotting to kill the Chu Emperor, he guarded against everyone, calculated everyone, and thought that the throne belonged to him, but in the end, he only missed the King of Yu, and missed the ninth brother who seemed to him to have a tendon and even didn't know how to plan at all!
At the beginning, he was cut to the throne for a woman and demoted to the king of the county, he took the initiative to hand over the military power in his hands, closed the door, he never invited merit and favor in front of the Chu Emperor, he did not even participate in any power struggle, everyone thought that he was fascinated by beauty and lost his mind, and even he thought that he had no desire to fight for the throne.
But he didn't expect that he had never given up fighting for the throne at all, he was manipulating everything in secret, placing all the people around him, secretly plotting, if he didn't make a move, he would take his life as soon as he made a move!
"I'll kill you!!"
Rong Lan roared like a trapped beast, and suddenly raised his sword and killed in the direction of Rong Yan, but he was not Rong Yan's opponent at all, he just killed in front of Rong Yan, and after only a few moves, he was kicked out by Rong Yan in the heart, and his arm that was penetrated by the arrow before had already been soaked in blood.
The people around hurriedly surrounded Rong Lan, holding a sword at Rong Yan with a pale face, and Rong Yan just stood there and said with a cold face: "Third brother, you and I are my own brother, I don't want to kill you, but it is a capital crime for you to force the palace to rebel today, if you are lost, now kneel down and beg my father for mercy, I will definitely do my brotherly friendship and beg my father to leave you a whole corpse." ”
"Brother? Hahahaha...... I'm blind, I think you're a brother! will be deceived by the illusion you have done all these years! Rong Lan said angrily, after saying that, he didn't stop at all, he held his sword and went forward to kill, the only thing he wanted to do at this time was to drag Rong Yan to die together!
The forbidden troops surrounding King Xuan had already begun to panic, and everyone was in danger, and Lu Qingping, who originally thought that the overall situation had been decided, had already been decided.
His hand holding the sword was no longer firm, but faintly trembling, he fought desperately, he wanted to escape, as long as he escaped, he would have a chance to live, but in the face of the surrounding army, the forbidden army around him was vulnerable, and the entire Imperial Forest Garden was like a one-sided slaughter, and most of the people of the forbidden army died in a moment.
Lu Qingping desperately fought towards the periphery, when he looked up and saw King Qing and others standing not far away, he saw Rong Jing standing outside the crowd at a glance, his eyes showed extreme surprise, gritted his teeth and quickly blocked the people around him, and jumped to Rong Jing's side with an arrow, grabbed Rong Jing's neck and dragged him to his side, and said angrily: "Stop!" Stop it! If you dare to take a step forward, I will kill King Ling!" ”
Emperor Chu looked up and saw Rong Jing who was held hostage by Lu Qingping, and his face suddenly gloomy: "Let King Ling go, otherwise I will break your corpses into ten thousand pieces!" ”
Lu Qingping looked up to the sky and laughed: "Ten thousand broken corpses? Come on, Your Majesty's ruthless ministers have already seen it, and it's a big deal that the ministers dragged King Ling to be buried together! ”
"You dare!"
Emperor Chu's face was full of iron, who knew that Lu Qingping pressed the long sword in his hand towards Rong Jing's neck, and a terrifying blood mark instantly appeared on it, reflecting his white excessive skin, and the overflowing blood red dazzling.
"Stop!!" Emperor Chu shouted, and said with gloomy eyes: "What do you want?" ”
Lu Qingping sneered: "Let them put down their weapons and get out of the way, and let me and King Xuan leave, otherwise I will kill King Ling immediately!" ”
Emperor Chu's face was ruthless, Lu Qingping and King Xuan forced the palace to rebel, he would never let them go, but if he killed these two people desperately, Rong Jing would definitely die. He looked up at Rong Jing's indifferent face, as well as the blood marks on his neck, and suddenly the scene in front of the palace gate suddenly appeared in his mind, the woman's resolute indifference on the neck of the horizontal sword.
"Is it worth exchanging my life for his life?"
The cold and lingering words that seemed to be dead as if they were still in their ears...... He had never understood the woman's feelings for him as well as he did that time, she could die for him, she could give up everything, but he turned his back on her!
Emperor Chu closed his eyes suddenly, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were bloody, and he gritted his teeth at everyone and said, "Let them go!" ”
Rong Yan, who had always been calm, suddenly changed his face, he arranged so much, and even did not hesitate to expose Ah Yin and Xie Yiliu, in order to completely get rid of King Xuan, once King Xuan died, the people he arranged earlier would be able to take over most of the power in King Xuan's hands, and as long as the follow-up went well, he could not only get rid of King Xuan, but even get rid of King Qing and King Fu in one fell swoop.
But once King Xuan escapes today and gives King Xuan a chance, many of the previous things will be exposed, and once Emperor Chu learns about it, he will suspect him, and although King Xuan will be punished for his crimes, he will not be able to escape!
His face changed and he glanced at Ah Yin, and Ah Yin instantly understood what he meant, King Xuan must not stay! He left from King Yu unconsciously, blended into the chaos, and quietly approached where Lu Qingping was.
Rong Xun, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but take the lead in speaking: "Father, you can't let them go!" King Xuan and Lu Qingping have wolf ambitions, if they let them go, there will definitely be chaos in the future! ”
"Yes, father, you can't let them go, King Xuan's heart of rebellion has risen, and letting them go is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain! There is going to be hell to pay! Rong Zhi also spoke, although he still hasn't figured out how this happened, but he knows that King Xuan must not be let go.
Rong Lan thought that he would be dead, but he didn't expect to be able to turn around, and after hearing the words of the two of them, he suddenly said with a mocking face: "What, eldest brother, fourth brother, would you rather let Thirteen accompany me to the funeral for the sake of my life?" Father, this is the one you have chosen? Look at them, what's the difference between them and me? ”
Emperor Chu's face suddenly sank, he looked at Rong Zhi and Rong Xun gloomily, that look suddenly startled the two of them, the two hurriedly took a half step back, Rong Zhi said even more urgently: "Father, the son doesn't mean this, Thirteen is my own brother, how can the son harm him, don't be deceived by him, the father and the emperor don't be deceived by him, he obviously wants to provoke the relationship between us!" ”
"Shut up!"
Emperor Chu scolded angrily, Rong Zhi and Rong Xun hurriedly took two steps back, not daring to make another sound, while Emperor Chu turned to look at Rong Lan with a frosty face and said, "You let King Ling go, I let you go!" ”
Lu Qingping suddenly sneered: "Your Majesty, the minister has been with you for more than 20 years, I'm afraid no one in this world knows you better than the minister, do you think I will believe it?" I'm afraid that as soon as I release King Ling, I will be pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows immediately! ”
The expression on his face was cold, the blade of the sword was close to Rong Jing's neck, and he said sharply: "You immediately order everyone to withdraw from the Imperial Forest Garden, let me and King Xuan and the others leave the palace, and when they are in a safe place, I will naturally release King Ling!" If Your Majesty doesn't want to, then I have to be sorry! ”
Emperor Chu's face changed suddenly, and his gloomy color was even worse, he looked at Rong Jing, and only after a while did he grit his teeth and say, "Everyone retreat, let them leave!" ”
"Father! Can't let them go!! ”
"Your Majesty, don't let the tiger go back to the mountain!"
King Qing, King Fu, and all the courtiers shouted in unison, and those who were guarding the camp were also wandering with their swords raised, not knowing whether to retreat or continue to advance. Seeing this, Emperor Chu waved his hand and said angrily: "I said, let them go!" ”
He looked at Lu Qingping and said angrily: "Without my permission, no one is allowed to do anything, if King Ling is injured in the slightest, I want all of you heads!" ”
Those people were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated and made way out, while Lu Qingping laughed, King Xuan also stepped forward quickly, and the two of them took the rest of the forbidden army to hold King Ling hostage and retreated towards the outside of the Imperial Forest Garden step by step, just as they were about to leave, a sharp arrow suddenly shot towards Lu Qingping, Lu Qingping suddenly shouted, and grasped the arrow, but before he could come back to his senses, Ah Yin, who had already been quietly approaching behind him, suddenly attacked him quickly.
The cold light in the man's hand pointed directly at his chest, he wanted to turn around but it was too late, Lu Qingping suddenly became ruthless, and the long sword in his hand swung towards Rong Jing: "Since you let me die, then King Ling will bury me with me!" ”
Everyone was taken aback, no one expected that someone would make a move against Lu Qingping at this time, let alone that King Ling would make an undoubtedly suicidal move with such disregard for his life.
Emperor Chu suddenly exclaimed, "Jing'er! ”
The sword slashed straight through Rong Jing's arm, blood splashed everywhere, and the dagger of the person behind Lu Qingping was mercilessly inserted into his vest, the long sword in Lu Qingping's hand shook, and almost slipped to the ground, he frantically turned around and slashed towards the person who attacked behind him, and saw that Ah Yin quickly retreated into the crowd.
Lu Qingping looked at Rong Yan and Ah Yin not far away, and then looked at Rong Jing in front of him, the color of madness flashed in front of him, and he laughed angrily: "Emperor Chu, I really shouldn't believe you, you are as despicable and ruthless as back then, you don't even want King Ling's life in order to kill me!" ”
He looked up at Emperor Chu from afar, his face was full of madness, and he turned his eyes to look at Rong Jing and hissed: "King Ling, have you seen it, Emperor Chu doesn't care about your life at all, do you want to know how he sat on this throne, do you want to know what your identity is?!" ”
"Shut up! Lu Qingping, I told you to shut up!! Emperor Chu's expression changed greatly.
Lu Qingping laughed and said, "Your Majesty, Emperor Chu, what do you dare not let people know?" Are you afraid that King Ling will know what happened back then, afraid that he will know how you used his mother to sit on the throne back then, afraid that he will know that his mother is not Concubine Yun at all, afraid that he will know how you gave your mother to ...... back then Flutter! ”
Before Lu Qingping finished speaking, a long sword pierced through his neck mercilessly, his eyes widened suddenly, all the words in his mouth were shattered, everyone looked at his mouth and jaws, but they didn't hear what he said last, but Rong Jing, who was closest to him, clearly heard the two words that were broken in his mouth before he died.
First! Emperor!
……
Rong Jing's face suddenly seemed to be covered with frost, his thin lips were cold, his whole face was a little pale, but the eyes in the paleness were dark and weird, and the gloomy aura on his body was shrouded in the side, he clenched his fists so that he could not help but kill Emperor Chu.
And everyone around was shocked by Lu Qingping's words.
King Ling's mother is Concubine Yun, as early as when she gave birth to King Ling, she died prematurely, although King Ling was the thirteenth prince, but before the age of seven, he never appeared in the court or even in the palace, at that time, Emperor Chu said to the outside world, because he was weak and went out to recuperate, but now that I think about it, there are flaws everywhere.
When Concubine Yun was pregnant, she was born prematurely, and no one had ever seen the child after she was born, and even the midwives and even the imperial doctors at that time were implicated because of Concubine Yun's death, and none of them survived.
It's not that no one has doubted it, after all, Rong Jing's appearance is too gorgeous, and he is not at all like Emperor Chu and the dignified and demure Concubine Yun, but Emperor Chu said that no one in the court dared to question it, even if there were occasional doubters, they never dared to raise it in person.
But Lu Qingping's words before his death just now gave them a dull stick, King Ling was not the son of Concubine Yun at all, and Emperor Chu used his mother to ascend to the throne back then......
Those courtiers who were not in Beijing in the early years were still full of doubts, but those who were older, and even experienced the bloody incident more than 20 years ago, all changed color, because they suddenly remembered a person, although they had never seen their faces with their own eyes, but they once shocked the world, almost wiped out the Southern Chu dynasty, and finally hated the women of Southern Chu!
Duke Yu and Yan Hou gasped, and Xiao Qingcang's gaze at Rong Jing was also full of horror.
Emperor Chu didn't look at these people's expressions, he just looked at Rong Jing, but saw that although his face was cold, there was no other color, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and looked at the person who killed Lu Qingping with a sword just now, only to find that the person was actually Xie Chen.
Xie Chen was also shocked by Lu Qingping's words, he remembered a rumor many years ago, when he and Lu Qingping had just met, Lu Qingping had told him after he was drunk that Sima Wencheng did not die in that bloody battle, he didn't care at the time, he just thought it was him talking nonsense, and now when he saw the expression of Emperor Chu, he was shocked that there was really another hidden story.
He suddenly sensed the way out, so he did not hesitate to kill Lu Qingping, because only if he dies, only if the secrets he knows are not exposed, can he live and save the Xie family.
Xie Chen knelt down without hesitation, and said loudly to Emperor Chu: "Your Majesty, King Xuan and Lu Qingping's wolf ambitions have long been rebellious, Lu Qingping even secretly hid things to slander Your Majesty, the minister entered the palace with them for this reason, the purpose is to take advantage of the chaos to rescue Your Majesty, now Your Majesty's auspicious nature, King Xuan and Lu Qingping's rebellion has been revealed, where their families are, the minister has already mastered it, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, the minister will definitely be able to wipe them out!" ”
After Xie Chen finished speaking, he kowtowed a few times, and then said solemnly: "Please also ask Your Majesty to order that King Xuan and Lu Qingping's relatives be arrested immediately, in case there is a change, Weichen is willing to take someone to go and make meritorious contributions!" ”
Everyone was stunned by Xie Chen's words, but Rong Lan looked at Xie Chen with blood-red eyes, trembling with anger: "Xie Chen! Shame on you!! (To be continued.) )
