Chapter 286: Bloodless Capture of King Wei
In the Daliang Palace, when the beauties began to dance again, King Wei actually had seven or eight points of wine. The wine from Zhao is really too reluctant. In the face of countless compliments and beautiful women, it is difficult not to get drunk.
It's said to be snowing outside, but what does it matter? The burning charcoal in the main hall was warm, and King Wei was only wearing a single coat, and he didn't feel cold at all. If he hadn't been drunk before dawn, he would have led these courtiers who had been drinking with him all night to enjoy the snow outside. Now, perhaps the only worry is that the snow will be too small to enjoy the scenery!
Although it was already the middle of the night, the atmosphere in the hall was warm. The ministers were disheveled, toasting and laughing with each other, and they were all a little dissolute. Everyone knows that King Wei actually likes this scene the most. So at the banquet, there is no need to worry about anything at all. It's rare for everyone to relax, and there is no restraint between those monarchs and ministers, so some outrageous behaviors are not excessive at all.
A few old and dignified courtiers couldn't help but secretly shake their heads and sigh. The scene in front of them couldn't help but remind them of the long night drink of the kings who destroyed the country, such as Ji and Xu, and the wine pond meat forest. But no one dared to say anything more at this time. After all, everyone understands the truth that a companion is like a tiger. Who knows if King Wei, who is laughing and mingling with his courtiers at this time, will turn his face because of a word! So it's wisest to go with the flow and giggle with everyone.
The lights in the Daliang Palace are bright, there are groups of beauties, and the enchantress dances. Dancing clothes, nostalgic sideburns. The king of Wei hugged left and right, a rich and prosperous scene in the gentle township.
At this time, there seemed to be a faint sound from outside the palace. It was like a huge rolling thunder swept through the streets of Wangcheng, and even the wine cups placed on several cases trembled slightly.
There were a few ministers who were still sober, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised. They looked at each other, not understanding what was happening. It stands to reason that it is already early winter, and even if it snows at this time, there will be no more thunder! But when I heard this booming sound, it was clearly like a dull rolling thunder. Most of the others don't notice anything at all. The sound of singing and dancing music in the main hall, as well as all kinds of noisy sounds, it was difficult to hear the movement outside the hall. What's more, everyone from King Wei down has already drunk almost everything. The so-called drunken life dreams of death, but that's it.
If the King of Wei and his ministers knew that this was the most enjoyable wine they had ever drunk, but it was also the last parting wine, I wonder how they would have felt? However, none of this matters anymore. This bitter taste may only be left for them to slowly reminisce about in the long years to come.
A moment later, the door of the main hall, which had been closed, was suddenly pushed open, and someone stumbled in. The wind outside the door mixed with snowflakes carried boundless coldness to this brilliantly lit feast. When everyone raised their heads in shock, they didn't react yet. I had already heard the screams of the guards who had run in to report the news.
"Great, great...... Big things are wrong! There was a cavalry from an unknown place that entered the palace gate, and everyone outside was killed......
King Wei reclined on the splendid couch behind a few cases, slowly tasting the wine that the woman in his arms fed to his mouth. Suddenly, he saw someone running in in a panic and shouting wildly, and in a drunken daz, he couldn't hear what was being shouted. However, the anger in his heart could no longer be endured. Before anyone else could say anything, he squirted out the wine in his mouth, helped the beauty who was serving him to stand up, pointed at the unlucky guy who was kneeling down the stairs with his finger, and shouted angrily.
"Who let you in? Someone! Drag him out and hack him to death...... How unreasonable! It's getting more and more unruly. ”
The entire hall fell silent for a moment, and everyone from the ministers to the attendants, including the beauties, dancers, and pianists, was stunned, and their faces slowly turned from surprise to pale fear. Their fear was naturally not because King Wei was angry, but because of the news they had just heard with their own ears. Originally, some people were skeptical, thinking that what they had just seen and heard was an illusion. But then the guard spoke out loud again, and they were completely frightened.
"King! The king spares his life! Come on...... Run! The enemy is in! They have already rushed into the palace gate, and they will soon enter the main hall...... King!"
This time everyone heard very clearly and clearly. Although there are still some people who simply don't believe that this will happen. But in this silence, the sound of a huge mountain and tsunami outside could already be heard, and some people couldn't help but turn their heads to see that outside the open door of the main hall was black, as if a huge beast was opening its bloody mouth and would soon swallow everyone here.
"What do you say? What kills in...... The widow is here! Who dares to mess around? Where is the sword, where is the widow's sword......!"
King Wei still didn't hear too clearly, he staggered a few steps, and drew his long sword from the trembling attendant's hand. The beauties who were still around him screamed in fright, and they fled far away in fright, lest they be accidentally injured.
"Huh! Is your sword powerful? So how many people can you kill? ”
In the midst of the panic, a mocking voice came from outside the temple door. Then, surrounded by the light of the sword, a pair of combat boots stepped on the threshold of the main hall, and the young and upright figure wiped the blood on the boots on the blanket by the way, and then raised his head, his eyes passed through the crowd, and he looked at the sword-wielding King Wei with a smile.
A fierce murderous aura rushed to his face. The ministers got up in amazement, and they all ran to the side of King Wei in a hurry. Several cases in the main hall overturned, cups and plates were in disarray, and they were in chaos. In such a dangerous time, no one cares about face and identity. Lives matter!
If, in such a situation, who does not understand what is happening, it is simply an idiot. King Wei is finally sober! His eyes widened, and he pushed away the attendants who had hurried over to protect him, pointed his sword at the young man at the door, and asked angrily.
"Bold! What are you? He is also worthy to rebuke the widow!"
"Oh, so...... You are the King of Wei? Hehe! In Xia Chu Jiangmian, I came from Zhao to meet the king, what etiquette do I need? ”
King Zhao, who stood tall with a confident smile, made a joke in a teasing tone. The more than 100 soldiers who followed up around him couldn't help but almost laugh. It's so enjoyable to fight with such a king! Except for the hard work of the long journey, the rest is like a joke, and it is easy to win! All the way to the palace of the Great Liang Palace, there were no casualties of a single soldier. It's a miracle anyway.
King Wei's face was wonderful. In an instant, it changed from burgundy to sauce purple, and from sauce purple to pale...... Under the huge gap in his heart, he didn't even notice that the sword in his hand fell to the ground. He muttered something in his mouth, looking completely lost.
"Chu Jiangmian...... You are Chu Jiangmian? But this is the big beam, not Dragon City. How did you end up here? How is this possible...... Not really! This is absolutely not true!"
Not only King Wei, but hundreds of pairs of eyes beside him were staring directly at the indifferent young man. If it weren't for such a tense situation, they would have thought that they would worship when they saw the legendary figures. In fact, looking at those fierce warriors and the murderous sword light, there are indeed many people who want to kneel on the ground and kowtow and beg for mercy.
Even if these Wei ministers no longer wanted to believe it, they had to sadly find that all of them had become prisoners of King Zhao and his army. Not only that, listening to the sounds of the roaring outside, it is likely that not only this palace, but even the entire palace and even the Daliang City outside have been controlled by the Zhao army, right?
Throughout the ages, whenever a king has been conquered, the first to suffer are the people of the palace and all the important ministers. Because the enemy army needs to kill people, and these people are the best candidates. Therefore, when the people in the palace saw those flickering cold rays and unrecognizable armorers, their cold hairs stood on end, and they all felt a cold chill in their necks.
However, their worst fears did not happen. I saw that King Zhao waved his hand, and the soldiers scattered to guard, and he walked over with an indifferent expression. The boots made a heart-stirring sound as they stepped on the palace. Everywhere he went, everyone retreated on both sides, bowing their heads one after another, and no one dared to look up.
"From tonight onwards, the Wei State will cease to exist...... Hehe! Is there anything else to say, King? ”
There was silence, a dead silence. The words that this young man said casually, mixed with the sound of wind and thunder, decided the fate of a great country of princes for hundreds of years. The bodies of all the ministers trembled like dead leaves in the wind, and some people wanted to jump out and reprimand them loudly, but the sharp blade was on the back of their necks, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they were afraid that their heads would fall to the ground immediately.
"Chu Jiangmian! You don't have such power! The territory of the Great Wei Dynasty was given by Zhou Tianzi himself, and the Danshu iron coupon is still there, and you are a small prince, ....... ”
"The land of Wei will be taken back by the Son of Heaven immediately...... With such a vast mountain and river, there should be a new owner!"
"Chu Jiangmian...... Thou hast slain my son, and then thou hast come to plunder the land...... You, you, you...... It's too much of a deception!"
"King Wei, if I were you, I wouldn't be talking such useless nonsense now. Let's think about the future of the royal family. Still, don't worry. I'm not an innocent person. Just promise me a small condition that will minimize human casualties. Then, you and everyone here are still guaranteed for the future. ”
King Wei stared at the other party's eyes with complicated emotions, and he felt that Chu Jiangmian, who was several years apart from him, was a real old fox!
