On the day of the funeral of King Heishui Old Khan.

Wan Yan Naqi stood in the crowd dressed in sackcloth and plain clothes, watching coldly as the great wizard of Qima was like a grandiose clown, singing and dancing around Wang Mound and beating the divine drum in his hand.

A group of people who were invited to be in charge of the mourning knelt on the ground in snow-white filial piety clothes, howling loudly, obviously this funeral was insignificant to them, but they were the saddest among all of them, and the heart-rending cry was a hundred times more sad than their own dead family.

What a hypocrisy!

Wan Yan Naqi's dark eyes had a lot more disgust for them, and he turned his eyes slightly to see Wan Yan Zhun Tai.

He knelt closest to the mound, and the mourners were behind him.

The top of the tomb has been covered, and there are people around to fill the grave with earth.

Just a moment ago, he also witnessed the scene of his mother's concubine being escorted by several people and forcibly pouring mercury into her five orifices to bleed to death.

In the eyes of others, the lowly concubine was allowed to be in the same tomb with the king, what a beautiful and glorious it was, but Wanyan Zhuntai realized that this was God's punishment for him! His mother died a bad death in order to cover up the crime for him, and he never forgot the moment before, when his mother fell to the ground and struggled due to the extreme pain of her body, and finally quieted down when she died, staring at him quietly with those eyes full of blood and tears.

At that moment, Wanyan Juntai's ears seemed to sound his mother's voice full of bone-eroding pain - "Wu'er, you must sit on the supreme position, so Eji did not die in vain." ”

He knelt like that, did not cry, did not speak, just quietly lowered his head, watching the yellow sand texture of the soil little by little cover the top of the tomb, until the traces of the tomb were completely buried, and only a golden tablet stood in front of him.

Wan Yan's eyes fell on the fists that were placed on his knees, blue and white from clenching so tightly.

At this moment, Wanyan Zhuntai's eyes were glowing with scarlet light due to extreme hatred, and he wished to crush the Wanyan Naqi who was standing quietly in the center of the minister behind him.

But he also knew that he had to be calm, and he had to wait for the moment when the Qur'ans came to his aid, and only by successfully obtaining the throne of the Khan could he rightfully have the power of life and death for everyone.

At this time, Wanyan Zhuntai was still dreaming of the Guran people coming to help him obtain the throne of the Khan, but he didn't know that a catastrophe was quietly approaching.

After the funeral, the hall was full of black water ministers dressed in plain clothes, and they still gathered together today to belong to the next Khan.

After a short heated discussion, Wan Yan Naqi and Wan Yan Zhun Tai stepped in.

Both of them had a grim look on their faces, and they walked to the forefront of all the ministers.

Another slightly older man stepped forward, he was the official of the black water, coughed lightly, and the whole hall immediately fell silent.

"The old Khan king goes first, there are both foreign enemies in the Gulan in front of him, and there are homeless people who take the opportunity to disturb the law and discipline of Heishui, as the so-called king is the foundation of governing the country, the country cannot be without a king for a day, in order to resist foreign enemies, I Heishui Sheji, we still have to choose an heir from the two princes as soon as possible."

The ministers seconded.

One of them said with a neutral attitude: "However, the two princes are both outstanding among the dragons and phoenixes, and it is really difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser, how should this heir choose?" ”

After finishing the words, there were immediately people who supported Yan Zhuntai and said indignantly: "What do you mean by what you say, you wall grass?" The old Khan King clearly left a message to let the second prince inherit the throne, do you want to disobey the order of the old Khan King? ”

"After all, it's an oracle, there is no edict, who knows if it's true or not? How do you do it? ”

"You damn rough man! The little concubine obviously proved that the old Khan King was passed on by oral message, and now the little concubines have been martyred by the old Khan King, such sincerity and sincerity, you dare to suspect that the little concubine is lying! ”

"Having said that, who dares to guarantee that the concubine is not partial?"

"You! Dare to insult the old Khan king and the little concubine, Lao Tzu will kill you! ”

Someone was angry, and the two groups of people with clear factions were about to make a move, and the government hall suddenly became a pot of porridge.

At this time, Wan Yan, who had not spoken, flashed in his eyes, and said coldly: "Since this is the case, it is better to recommend and serve the public with less!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole government hall immediately fell silent.

Everyone silently agreed with the decision.

Even Wanyan Zhuntai was very surprised, staring at Wanyan Naqi with an indifferent face with wide eyes, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, after all, with his Wanyan Naqi's prestige among the ministers, it was really difficult to win himself.

Although I don't understand what kind of fame Wanyan Naqi has made, it makes Wanyan Zhuntai, who just bet all his bets on the Gulan people, naively rekindle hope.

Yanguan cleared his throat again and said in a deep voice: "The voting begins, please raise your hand if you agree with the second prince to inherit the throne!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Zhuntai raised his hand behind him.

The official glanced around, and said, "If you agree to the third prince inheriting the throne, please raise your hand!" ”

Only a few people behind Wan Yan Naqi raised their hands, which was a drop in the bucket compared to the people who supported Wan Yan Zhun Tai just now.

In the matter of the amount of hands, Wanyan Juntai was an overwhelming victory.

Seeing everything in his eyes, Wanyan Juntai's expression gradually revealed great excitement, as if he was already victorious.

However, Rao is like this, and there are still two-thirds of the ministers who have not taken a position, that is, it is still not certain who the throne belongs to.

At this moment, even the speaker didn't know what to say, and stayed in place at a loss.

"What? Didn't you hear what you just said? Wanyan Zhuntai had a wolf-like sinister and vicious light in his eyes, and glanced at the ministers who did not take a stand one by one, as if he had put himself at the pinnacle of power.

At this time, an elderly minister stood up without fear of power, glanced at Yan Zhuntai and said: "It's not that I didn't hear what I just said clearly, but I just have a question I want to ask the second prince in front of everyone!" Second Prince, you said that the old Khan King was seriously ill and died violently, why did we hear some incredible rumors? ”

"What's the rumor, what's the big deal?" Wanyan Juntai is still arrogant.

The old minister stared at him meaningfully, and his sonorous and powerful voice was like a stone thrown on the ground, slamming on everyone's hearts: "The death of the old Khan King is all because of you, the second prince!" You were captured that day, because you were greedy for life and afraid of death, and you were deceived by the Qur'an people and gave birth to wolf ambitions, so you sneaked into the palace with the Qur'an thieves, forced the old Khan to hand over the seal, and put the old Khan in the dungeon, humiliated and tortured in every way, the old Khan was humiliated and ended up in anger! ”

At this time, except for those who did not take a stand, the rest of the people showed surprise, and then the entire government hall exploded.

Wan Yan Naqi stared coldly at Wan Yan Zhun Tai's face that had become a little flustered and weird, and suddenly grinned the corners of his mouth and laughed silently.

"You talk nonsense! You're slandering me! How dare you slander the prince! Although the words are powerful, Wanyan Zhuntai's confidence in speaking is seriously insufficient, because he was greatly frightened, his eyes were at a loss, but he still denied it.

It took a long time to regain his strength, his eyes glared angrily, his face was covered with dark clouds, and he looked like a demon who wanted to eat people: "If you scorn the prince without evidence, I can cut off your head now!" ”

After saying that, you have to draw the knife.

The old minister's eyes suddenly became fierce, and before he could pull out the knife, he said: "The second prince is too worried, it's not without evidence!" We already have direct evidence that you plotted to kill the old Khan! ”

Turning around and shouting outside, "Bring people up!" ”

Wanyan Zhuntai's hand with the knife froze, and his face suddenly became a lot more pale, and his heart was pounding.

Immediately afterwards, a person with a big tie was pushed into the political hall, as if he had found a savior as he walked, his eyes locked on Wanyan Juntai, and he shouted heartbreakingly: "The second prince save me!" Second Prince......"

All eyes were on him.

Wanyan Juntai raised his head mechanically, and the moment he saw that person clearly, his face was like ashes.

"The second prince won't not know him, right?" The old minister looked a little proud, looked around and said, "I'm afraid there is no one present who doesn't know him, right?" ”

There was silence in the hall, and everyone was silent.

It was Wanyan Zhuntai's personal attendant who was pushed into the hall, and he clearly knew everything about Wanyan Zhuntai, including how he returned to Heishui from the hands of the Gulans and sneaked into the palace, how he colluded with the Gulans, and how he tortured Wanyan Yilib to death.

All this, except for Wanyan Zhuntai himself, the only thing that knows most is the attendant in front of him!

I didn't expect to miss this biggest threat!

"Say what you said to me here!" The old minister was condescending.

The attendant's face was frightened, he glanced at everyone, waited for a while, and after seeing that Yan Zhuntai had no intention of saving himself, he swallowed his saliva violently, and finally gritted his teeth and told the truth how he sneaked into the palace, how he colluded with the Qur'an, and how he tortured the old Khan King in order to get the seal.

The ministers in the hall gasped when they heard this, and looked at Wanyan Zhuntai with incredible eyes, not understanding why this favorite son of the old Khan King was so ruthless, not only ruined the life of the old Khan King, but also ruined his own back road.

"What a second prince who colluded with foreign thieves and usurped the throne!" The old minister roared.

"Second Prince, this ...... What's going on here? What collusion with the Qur'ans? What patricide usurped? Didn't you say that it was the old Khan king who passed on the throne? Among the people who supported him, some people began to ask nervously, lest what the attendant said was true, if that was the case, Wanyan Zhuntai would die alone, and I was afraid that those of them who supported him in inheriting the throne would not end well.

Wanyan Zhuntai only felt that the top of his head began to dizzy, his chest was tight and short of breath, he almost couldn't even stand, his hands were subconsciously clenched into fists, and his palms were already covered with cold sweat.

However, soon, Wanyan Zhuntai laughed again, forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and said: "It's true that he is my attendant, but what evidence do you have to say that what he said must be true?" This reminds me that I have a dog around me who eats inside and out, and I really didn't expect to dare to contempt the master with the rebels! ”

"Second prince, don't be angry yet!" Lao Chen seemed to have thought that he would be so quibble, and his expression changed from anger to lightheartedness, "Is it contempt, as long as we find the seal, the truth will be revealed!" ”

Anyway, give the others a look.

The people who got the hint rushed up and surrounded Wanyan Zhuntai.

"What do you want to do? Rebellion? Wanyan Juntai glared angrily.

The old minister said: "The second prince doesn't have to be nervous, if the truth is revealed, a search of the second prince's body and mansion will be clear!" With such a precious thing as the seal, the second prince must have hidden it a lot, right? ”

"Bold! As I said, I haven't seen the seal! How can it be on me? ”

The old minister ignored his sophistry, and clenched his fists and said, "Please forgive me for being rude!" ”

After the words were finished, everyone resisted despite Yan Zhuntai's anger and searched up.

But in the blink of an eye, someone felt something out of Wanyan Zhuntai's arms, and if you looked closely, it was the tiger stripe bronze talisman.

"It's a seal! It's a seal! ”

After shouting excitedly, he handed the seal to the old minister.

The old minister looked at the seal in his hand, and then looked at Wanyan Zhuntai with confusion written on his face: "Second prince, the evidence is conclusive!" Do you have anything else to say? ”

At this time, the minister who supported Wanyan Juntai to inherit the throne collapsed to the ground as if he heard the bad news.

"It's not me, it's not me! I didn't take this seal at all! It's a complete face! Wanyan Zhuntai turned to Wanyan Naqi, who had been silent, angrily, and roared: "It's you! You're hurting me! The seal was obviously taken away by you, how could it be with me! ”

Wan Yan Naqi's eyes were dark, and he recalled the words of that day - instead of letting the matter of Wan Yan Zhun Tai's father kill spread out of our mouths, it is better to let others be more convincing.

So he secretly released the news that Wan Yan Zhun Tai killed his father and usurped the throne, colluded with foreign thieves, and ordered his own dark forces to take Wan Yan Zhun Tai's personal attendant.

Wanyan Naqi knew that this old minister had always been at odds with Wanyan Zhuntai, so he deliberately used a plan to release the attendants, so that after listening to the shocking rumors that Yan Zhuntai had killed his father and usurped the throne, he happened to meet the attendants who were running to the second prince's mansion in embarrassment.

Of course, the old minister could not let go of this opportunity.

When the attendant was captured, Wan Yan Naqi watched coldly not far away.

As for the seal, it was actually placed by the concubine's personal maid.

The maid had suffered the anger of the concubine earlier, and had already taken refuge in him and became one of his secret powers, and today under the pretext of changing clothes to bid farewell to her mother, she quietly put the seal into Wanyan Zhuntai's arms.

All of this seems to have been facilitated by Wan Yan Naqi, but it has nothing to do with him.

"Second brother is really unreasonable, how can he blame me because he can't return to the weather?" Wanyan Naqi looked like he had been greatly wronged.

At this time, the direction of the wind in the government hall has completely changed, and all the ministers have quietly stood behind Wan Yan Naqi and accused Wan Yan Zhun Tai.

"You ...... You guys! Wanyan Juntai was furious, angry and anxious, and his whole face turned red.

At this time, Wu Wei staggered in and shouted, "Oh no! The Qur'an called! The Qur'an is coming to attack the city! ”

"What?!" The house was shocked.

Wu Wei looked flustered, and said in a trembling voice: "Now the city is full of Gulan people, and I see that the firearms vehicles of the Gulan people are also approaching Heilan City." ”

As soon as the words came out, the ministers were suddenly confused.

Wanyan Zhuntai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he didn't hide it, and looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "The Gulan people are here!" The sweat seat is mine! You damn things, wait to go to hell! ”

Wanyan Naqi frowned, and said coldly: "First take down this bold fanatic who killed his father and usurped the throne and colluded with the Gurans, and wait for his fate!" ”

Wanyan Zhuntai was startled and struggled: "Who dares!" Lao Tzu will be the king of black sweat soon, who dares to disrespect me and I will kill him......"

Rao has a tough attitude, but no one listens to the words of a traitorous thief.

Seeing that Yan Zhuntai was escorted away, the old minister Fang who was deeply frowning worriedly rushed to Yan Naqi and hugged his fist: "Third prince, now that my strength in Heishui is empty, and the Western Dynasty army has been completely defeated, it is when no one is available, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold it, how should this be?" ”

Wan Yan Naqi looked out of the political hall, his eyes were solemn, and his voice was firm: "If you can't defend it, you have to defend it, and explain that everyone in the city, regardless of men, women, old and young, must be ready to resist foreign enemies at any time!" ”

"You mean...... the old minister was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked, and the practice of all the people being soldiers was obviously ready to burn the jade.

Seeing that he didn't move, Wan Yan Naqi finally glanced at his side, and said without doubt: "Do as I say!" Send someone to another city to bring people to help, and the others, come with me! ”

With that, one of them walked out first.

The others looked at each other, although they didn't know what they wanted to do, but they had to follow.

At this time, on the sand plain hundreds of miles away from Heilan City, a woman with a haggard face fainted in the sand sea due to physical exhaustion.

Not far from her, the yellow sand buries the blue embroidery bag woven by green silk to reveal half of the tassels, the wind blows, the yellow sand blows away, and a beautifully embroidered kite jumps into view on the embroidery bag......
