When Hu Qingyan received the news, in the Ming Palace, Mo Bai was also shocked, and stood up directly: "Qu Guochang is dead?" Are you sure? ”

The people of Yuqing Mountain stared clearly, and there was a cry in Qu Guochang's mansion, and after the guards at the door entered, they immediately went straight to the palace without stopping. Now it seems that Zhang Bangli withdrew people ahead of schedule, not to pick a pick, but to make arrangements for doing it. Lu Xunyi nodded.

"Then you can't be wrong, can you figure out how Zhang Bangli killed Qu Guochang?" Mo Bai asked.

"It's not clear, Zhang Bangli warned before that people from Yuqingshan were not allowed to enter the Guogong Mansion. Therefore, the people of Yuqingshan have been staring outside, and they don't know the situation in the house. However, it can be determined that all the people sent by Zhang Bangli to the periphery of the Qu Guo Mansion have been withdrawn, and none of them have been left, and this matter should have been done by people inside the Qu Guo Mansion, and it seems that Zhang Bangli buried the nail in the Qu Guo Mansion a long time ago. Lu Xunyi said in a deep voice.

Mo Bai's eyes flickered, and he nodded: "I was still a little worried that Zhang Bangli would not do things properly, so I arranged for people from Yuqingshan to keep an eye on them in case of accidents." Now it seems that this person is not without ability, Qu Guochang, as one of the four auxiliary ministers, not only has internal guards around him, but also has a forbidden army to guard the door of the mansion, it is not easy to kill him, and it is even more difficult to get rid of him silently. Zhang Bangli was able to get rid of him easily......"

Speaking of this, Mo Bai glanced at Lu Xunyi, and said in a deep tone: "The situation in our Ming Wangfu is better now than before, but the whole palace must not have an arrogant mentality, whether it is a warlord, a banner barbarian, or a dynasty, the forces that can stand out in this troubled era are not ordinary people, if we let down our vigilance, I am afraid that sooner or later the ship will capsize." ”

When Lu Xunyi heard this, his expression was slightly condensed, and he completely agreed with Mo Bai's opinion.

To be honest, Zhang Bangli's shot this time really impressed him.

For a long time, Lu Xunyi's evaluation of Zhang Bangli was not high.

Because Zhang Bangli has a lot of dealings with the Ming Wangfu, from the original Ming Wang's departure, to the Ming Wang's appearance in Mingzhu, and then to the Ming Wang's return to Beijing, many things, Zhang Bangli rarely took advantage of their Ming Wangfu.

In addition, it was with the assistance of Zhang Bangli that the first emperor brought the dynasty to the point where it is today, so the Ming Wangfu has not been in awe of Zhang Bangli for a long time.

But after this incident, it had to remind him that the power of the dynasty was indeed unfathomable.

At least in this capital, the Ming Wangfu should be more and more cautious.

Mo Bai pondered for a moment, and suddenly stood up: "I'll go to the palace." ”

"Now in the palace?" Lu Xunyi's face immediately changed.

"Well, if I don't take a trip, Zhang Bangli is afraid that it will be in danger!" Mo Bai nodded, looked in the direction of Miyagi, and said in a deep voice: "This person is still very useful, he must be saved, in addition, Qu Guochang's death, what will happen to Lao Jiu, it is really difficult to say, there can be no problems at this juncture, I must go in person." ”

"What if the new monarch has the heart of the fish to die and the net is broken?" After Zhang Bangli's incident, Lu Xunyi was really cautious, shook his head and objected: "His Royal Highness entered the palace at this time, but he put himself in danger, and his subordinates objected to this matter. ”

Mo Bai was slightly silent, and then shook his head: "The danger is there, but when it is time to break in, it is still necessary to break through, now that the dynasty is no longer Lao Jiu's alone, since I have intervened, I must be able to bear it, and I must let people like Hu Qingyan see it, I dare to carry the attitude." If you want to wear a crown, it must become its weight, and the more times like this, the more we must stand up and carry things. Otherwise, in their eyes, what is the difference between me and Lao Jiu? ”

When Lu Xunyi heard this, he looked at the figure in front of him, but he didn't persuade again, but he hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates ask to go together!" ”

Mo Bai just smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "The sky of the dynasty should be topped by this king, if the king does not resist it, then the sky of the Ming Wangfu will have to be topped by you!" ”

Lu Xunyi was stunned.

The inky white figure flashed and disappeared.

Lu Xunyi chased out two steps, and then stood in place, looking into the distance, and did not move for a long time.

Inside the Imperial Study.

When the bookcase was turned over, all kinds of things were in a mess.

Lao Jiu sat on the dragon chair with messy hair, his breath was heavy, his face was full of anger, he was holding a cold and shining Qingfeng long sword in both hands, and his eyes were shining fiercely at Zhang Bangli, who was kneeling on the ground and his forehead touched the ground.

Hu Qingyan and King De did not kneel, but they stood on the side, and they didn't even dare to come out.

Especially King De, who was one step ahead, the cold sweat on his forehead was still sliding down at the moment.

He and Hu Qingyan's previous worries were not wrong, Qu Guochang's death did make the already unwilling Lao Jiu completely explode.

Just now he came in, and only then did he open his mouth to admonish, and he was almost directly slashed by Lao Jiu, who was already mad with anger, with a cold sword, if it weren't for the real person sitting in the corner futon who reacted quickly and shot at Lao Jiu's sword.

Seeing this situation, King De's face was pale, and he dared to persuade him for half a sentence.

But even if the real person made a move, Lao Jiu, who was very crazy, didn't care about it, and loudly scolded the real person, today he will either help him kill the traitors and thieves, or let this ** minister and thief kill the king.

Then he directly ordered the guards to pull King De out and cut him, fortunately, Hu Qingyan and Zhang Bangli arrived in time, otherwise I am afraid that King De will be dead on the spot.

Lao Jiu, who was already mad above, finally cleared up his mind after hearing that Zhang Bangli took the initiative to admit that Qu Guochang was killed by him, and no longer cared about King De, but stared at Zhang Bangli, and there was no movement for a long time.

King De, who was almost alive, recovered from his fright for a while, and looked at Zhang Bangli who was kneeling down at this moment, and a look of surprise finally appeared in his eyes, and his eyes slowly moved sideways to look at Hu Qingyan.

Hu Qingyan was conscious, turned his eyes to look at him, and then nodded slightly, indicating that this was the case.

King De's eyes suddenly showed surprise, it was really not King Ming who did it?

After a moment, he raised his eyes and looked carefully at Lao Jiu, who was sitting on the dragon chair with a sword in both hands, and a burst of happiness suddenly rose in his heart, and he only muttered silently: "Fortunately, it's not King Ming, fortunately, it's not King Ming." ”

Not only him, but Hu Qingyan beside him remembered that when he came in just now, King De, who was already hanging by a thread, and His Majesty, whose eyes were red and seemed to be eating people, were also in the heart of the lingering palpitations.

Lao Jiu's fury was even more fierce than he expected before, if it weren't for Zhang Bangli jumping out, it would be delusional to want to rely on persuasion today, I am afraid that the only way to do it is to have another palace change that rebels against the king.

Although he has made this preparation, but it is not a last resort, why would he want to be like this, throughout the ages, there have been several courtiers who rebelled against the monarch in front of him, and they have had a good end?

After the palpitations in the hearts of the two calmed down a little, they looked at Zhang Bangli, who was kneeling on the ground and silent, and had a headache again.

Thinking in his heart, if this matter was really done by Zhang Bangli, then judging from His Majesty's anger at the moment, Zhang Bangli's fate was almost predictable.

The four major auxiliary governments, Qu Guochang is already dead, if another Zhang Bangli dies......

No matter what their respective positions are, after all, a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox hits, which makes the hearts of the two very heavy.

But is there any way to stand up and defend Zhang Bangli?

I'm afraid it won't work, not wanting to be implicated is one thing, but more importantly, they really don't want to go that far with Your Majesty, if they can use Zhang Bangli's head to calm Your Majesty's anger, then it's ...... That's all there is to it.

Suddenly, Lao Jiu's voice sounded in the dead hall: "You just said that you killed Qu Guogong?" You tell me, is what you say true or false? ”

This voice was cold and irrepressible with a murderous aura rising and falling, which made several people in the hall feel a chill down their spines in an instant.

Zhang Bangli knelt on the ground, his back was soaked, who in this world can really survive without fear of death?

Zhang Bangli was silent for a moment, his body shook slightly, first kowtowed three times, and then slowly straightened his back, but he didn't dare to look at Lao Jiu, only said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to bully the king, Qu Guogong was indeed killed by the minister." ”

Lao Jiu's eyes were even more fierce, but he asked again: "Then who gave you the courage?" ”

"This matter was operated by the minister, and no one else interfered." Zhang Bangli replied.

"Huh!" Lao Jiu sneered, suddenly stood up, took three steps and made two steps, ran in front of Zhang Bangli, raised the sword in his hand and slashed at his head.

The real person's pupils contracted, but he finally closed his eyes.

On the other side, Hu Qingyan and King De's eyes widened instantly, and the two were ready to stop interceding for Zhang Bangli, but at this moment, seeing that Lao Jiu didn't ask this matter clearly, saying that if he kills, he will kill people, but the two of them can't sit idly by.

This matter is not clear, and now Zhang Bangli is killed, what is the matter.

His Majesty obviously still believes that King Ming did this, killed Zhang Bangli, he still insists on seeking revenge from King Ming, what will they do when the time comes, won't Zhang Bangli die in vain?

The two of them had no choice, they rushed up almost at the same time, Hu Qingyan was old, and he had just gone through a serious illness, and wanted to block His Majesty's sword-holding hand, but Lao Jiu just shook his shoulders and threw him out.

He could only take advantage of the situation to kneel on the ground, hug Lao Jiu's legs, and wail loudly: "Your Majesty is angry, angry!" ”

Or King De used some, hugged Lao Jiu's waist and pushed him back.

But Lao Jiu had already red eyes, and at this time, he didn't care who you were, and shouted fiercely: "You are presumptuous, and you still don't let me go?" ”

In the anger in his heart, he shouted angrily, and the sword in his hand suddenly stabbed towards King De, who was hugging his waist in front of him.

Seeing that something was wrong, King De was almost frightened, and subconsciously let go, and retreated to the side with a roll.

Hu Qingyan, who was holding Lao Jiu's leg on the other side, saw that His Majesty was already crazy, and he really dared to kill him, but his pupils shrank, and he immediately let go of his hand and hurriedly retreated.

Lao Jiu was not restrained, and immediately recognized Zhang Bangli again, and said that the sword in his hand would be cut.

At this time, everyone saw that Qu Guochang's death had completely collapsed His Majesty.

What ambition, what forbearance in the future, His Majesty has no hope, he is completely desperate, only the long-suppressed anger needs to be released.

He has already made up his mind to break the net, what is the overall situation of the country, what is the banner barbarian warlord, he only wants to express the resentment in his heart, and even the final victory or defeat, he does not care.

Everyone watched as his sword slashed towards Zhang Bangli's head, Zhang Bangli stared at the attacking sword, and Lao Jiu, who was red and only had killing intent behind the sword, did not hide or dodge, and at this last moment, the fear in his eyes faded.

I only slowly closed my eyes and prepared to die, but I still had regrets in my heart after all.

But after a long while, he didn't feel the sword attack, and he was suddenly in a trance.

I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart, could it be that this is already dead, why doesn't it hurt at all?

His eyelids jumped slightly, and he opened his eyes carefully, but he felt that it was dark in front of him, and when he raised his head slightly, he saw a figure standing in front of him.

Looking left and right, I saw that Qu Guochang and King De were sweating profusely, staring at them in front of them in a daze.

Zhang Bangli's expression was stunned, and he suddenly reacted, and hurriedly looked at the figure in front of him again, and his eyes were suddenly shocked.

King Ming!

Mo Bai grabbed the blade of the sword with his empty hand, his eyes calmly stared at Lao Jiu, who was slowly returning to his senses in front of him, his arm shook slightly, Lao Jiu only felt that his arm was numb, and the hilt of the sword came out of his hand.

"Stagger!"

There was a clash of gold and iron, and the sword turned into a streamer of light and flew directly into the scabbard hanging on the wall.

"You ......" Lao Jiu came back to his senses, and suddenly his anger reappeared, and he was about to attack when he pointed at Mo Bai.

Mo Bai ignored him, waved his hand directly, and a strong wind wrinkled, rushing straight to Zhang Bangli, who was kneeling behind him.

Zhang Bangli's whole person suddenly flew up, landed on the right side, and knelt down beside Hu Qingyan and King De.

Mo Bai stomped his feet again, the ground shook, and the bookcase he turned over stood up again.

Mo Bai lowered his head again, glanced at all kinds of things that were in a mess, and finally didn't pay attention to it, but asked: "Chief Zhang is the minister of the first emperor's own order, and His Majesty has not yet ascended the throne, so he wants to kill such an important minister, isn't it?" ”

When Lao Jiu heard this, he suddenly laughed out loud, and then pointed at Mo Bai with his hand: "King Ming, don't think that I don't know, the death of Duke Qu is inseparable from you, I have already tolerated you so much, you are not satisfied, okay, I will die with you today." ”

"I also heard that Qu Guochang died just now, so I immediately entered the palace, this matter has nothing to do with me, if you want to kill him, I will kill him as early as that day, why wait until today?" Mo Bai shook his head.

"Hugh has to quibble, don't think I don't know, a few days ago, you went into the palace to see Zhang Bangli, and then he killed Qu Guogong, what, aren't you not afraid of heaven and earth, how dare you do it, are you afraid?" Lao Jiu asked angrily.

As soon as these words came out, Hu Qingyan and King De's faces changed slightly at the same time, they were in a hurry before, and they really didn't expect this stubble.

At this time, as soon as Lao Jiu mentioned it, they immediately remembered that it was true that not long ago, King Ming deliberately went to find Zhang Bangli, and now Zhang Bangli killed Qu Guochang, can these two things be related?

The two of them glanced at each other, and their eyes sank, knowing that they were in trouble.

But at this moment, I only heard Mo Bai say: "I'm afraid? Then you tell me, what am I afraid of? ”

"What are you afraid of? King Ming, you can hide it from a few of them, you can't hide it, you pushed this matter to Zhang Bangli, you don't want them to be cold to your actions, right? Speaking of this, Lao Jiu suddenly looked at Hu Qingyan and King De angrily.
