CHAPTER XXXVI
Lan Jing took Zhong Mou and Zhong Hua back to the Carnival Dynasty was just one day after Lan Qiong left, Mu Jinshen sent people to guard the way Lan Jing came back, he just hoped that Lan Jing could go back earlier, and there was no need to waste time in the palace again. After waiting for a short time, Yan Yi saw Lan Jing coming over on horseback, Yan Yi waved his long whip, and the horse under his crotch rushed forward, Lan Jing saw the person coming and tightened the reins and stopped the fast horse.
Yan Yi immediately told Lan Jing about the investigation and punishment of the crown prince and the second prince's corruption, Lan Jing frowned, he didn't expect that he had spent some time outside, and Xi'er had come to this point. He naturally returned to his heart like an arrow, and the four of them immediately whipped and rushed towards Tengxiao Kingdom, hoping to take a shortcut to catch up with Lan Qiong's soldiers and horses.
The Jingyuan of the Six Princes' Mansion was originally a small two-story high-rise building that caught fire and collapsed all at once, causing a lot of movement in the entire Yunxiao Street. The secret guard who went to check hid in the dark and saw the prince's soldiers and horses holding out three corpses wrapped in straw mats, and the secret guard secretly followed. A few little soldiers in the back secretly discussed: "These six princesses are really tough, they set fire to the entire Jingyuan, and poured oil everywhere, this fire can't be extinguished, so they can only wait for it to burn by itself, and the house collapses in the end." ”
Another soldier said, "Yes, yes, the house has collapsed, and the prince wants us to go in and dig people, and my hands are burned." But it's really three people burned like this, it's all black, and you can't see it······" The dark guard clenched the sword in his hand, gritted his teeth, and went back to the dining pavilion.
As soon as Steward Wu saw the secret guard coming back, he immediately rushed up and grabbed him and said, "Have you found it?" The princess is fine! Steward Wu and the others had expectations and fear in their eyes, they were afraid to hear the news they didn't want to hear.
The dark guard glanced at the rest of the dark guards who were staring at him, and he sighed slightly and said, "The body of the princess has been carried out. And I heard that those soldiers meant that the princess refused to be arrested by the crown prince, and she didn't want people to occupy the Six Princes' Mansion, so she burned down the Jing Garden, and she stayed inside and didn't come out······" The dark guard couldn't go on as he spoke, and there was a faint sobbing sound from the group.
The six princes have never been thin to their subordinates, and the six princesses are even more pleasant after entering the mansion. Until this juncture, the princess also placed everyone in a safe place and guarded the Six Princes' Mansion by herself. When Steward Wu heard that the sixth princess burned Jingyuan by herself, he suddenly quieted down, he wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye, and he secretly decided that he must wait until the sixth prince came back, and he must watch the sixth prince kill the madman the prince.
The soldiers guarding the palace saw the billowing black smoke and fire outside the palace and felt that something was wrong, and immediately rushed into the palace to report to the emperor. The emperor frowned and said, "What direction?" "The palace people who reported this report were embarrassed and said the Six Princes' Mansion. Si Kouqing rushed out of the palace in front of the emperor at once, and as soon as he went out, he saw billowing black smoke and skyrocketing fire. This is not the Six Princes' Mansion or somewhere, even the palace can see such a fire, how big the fire is in the Six Princes' Mansion. His eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he was desperate to rush out of the palace.
Si Kou Zhan immediately sent someone to stop him and pull him back. Si Kouqing completely lost his bearing and dignity this time, fell to the ground, his eyes were red and tearful, he looked at his father standing in front of him and said, "Father, please, just let me out, I have to wait until what happened to my sister." ”
Although Si Kouzhan was infinitely worried in his heart, as the emperor who was more important as a courtier, he strongly refused. Si Kouqing looked at his tough father, he knew that his father only had the emperor in his heart at this moment, he yelled with red eyes: "Si Kouqing's family hasn't paid much for the royal family!" Now I don't even care if my sister lives or dies! ”
The whole court fell into a deathly silence, Si Kouzhan couldn't imagine that his two words would say such a rebellious thing at this time, he slapped it, and the crisp slap pulled back everyone's thoughts, and the emperor shouted: "Si Kouzhan, don't beat the child!" Si Kouqing realized that he had said the wrong thing this time, so he lowered his head and didn't raise his head, and a "buzzing" sound echoed in his head. Si Kou Zhan's slap is indeed not light. Si Kouchen slowly knelt down in front of his father and said, "The child also wants to go and see his sister, brother is right!" There was still stubbornness in his eyes.
Si Kouzhan was about to faint from his two sons at this time, his hands trembled, and the emperor was afraid that Si Kouzhan would beat another child, so he immediately ran down and said, "Someone sent someone out to find out what happened in the Six Princes' Mansion!" Hurry up, two children, I know you are worried about Xiaoxi's safety, so I will send someone to investigate. ”
Si Kouzhan was also very worried about his daughter, but in front of state affairs, family affairs were all in the back row, he asked the emperor for guilt, and the emperor waved his hand and said: "No need, what your son said is right, Si Kou's family has paid enough for the royal family." ”
The Si Kou family has paid for the royal family for several generations, and the ancestors don't know how many generals have been produced, but the Si Kou family is also smart enough to understand that the king is like a tiger, and always hand over power after making full contributions, and never let the emperor be suspicious, which is why the Si Kou family has been able to prosper and be trusted by the emperors of many dynasties.
Si Kouqing said in a low voice: "Father, the child is wrong. The emperor was reckless. After speaking, Si Kouqing automatically walked outside the hall, and Si Kouchen immediately followed the pace of the second brother. Si Kou Zhan looked at the backs of the two children, he couldn't help but feel desolate, and he felt guilty in his heart, but the people of Si Kou's family were always involuntarily more. The emperor also shook his head, the more he was in a high position, the more helpless he was, Si Kou Zhan carried the glory of the Si Kou family for several generations on his shoulders, so that he had to ignore the small family before anything.
The news of the death of the sixth princess flew everywhere as if she had grown wings, and Silver Frost and Yanqi, who were ready to go in the suburbs, suddenly received this news from their subordinates. Both of them were surprised, Yinshuang couldn't care about the princess's explanation at this time, and immediately wanted to take someone back to the palace, but Yanqi stopped him, and the two couldn't wait to see each other.
Yinshuang grabbed Yanqi's collar and said, "The princess is not your master, you don't care, but she is my master, I have to go back." Yan Qi's eyes were a little red, his voice was a little choked, he grabbed Yinshuang's shoulder and said, "If you go back now, you will let the princess sacrifice in vain!" The voice gritted its teeth and held back the overflowing tears.
Yinshuang still didn't want to deal with it, Yanqi had no choice but to say in a low voice in Yinshuang's ear: "The princess is my palace master, and I am more heartbroken than you." Now the most important thing is to complete the requirements of the palace master. Yinshuang looked at Yanqi in shock, not many people knew that Si Kouxi was the palace master of Bihai Palace, Yinshuang was stunned when she heard it, Yanqi couldn't help but shed a tear after all. Silver Frost didn't act impulsively anymore.
One of the soldiers rushed over and said, "All the prince's soldiers and horses have gone to the palace." ”
Yan Qi wiped away a tear with his fingertips, and gave an order to let everyone go in the direction of the palace. Yinshuang really didn't want to live up to the princess's entrustment, and everyone was ready to go in the direction of the palace.
Si Kouxi and his party had been in a coma for a long time in the Bihai Palace, and Shao Cangshu did an examination and found that the wounds of the three people had been poisoned by the frontier. It is a must for frontier people to use poison, and Shao Cangshu has a headache when he looks at these poisons. If these poisons are hit alone, there will not be much of a problem, but if they are all on one person, it is ****, and people who cannot detoxify for more than a day and a night will die.
When the people of Bihai Palace saw that it was actually the palace master who brought it up, they immediately sent the best doctor and the most abundant herbs in. Shao Cangshu said that he was able to unravel these poisons, and Siqing asked the people from Bihai Palace who were guarding the side, "Can we go down?" The people from Bihai Palace shook their heads and said, "If you can't go down, you must unlock the gossip array under the mountains and forests." But the only people who can unlock the Bagua Array are the Palace Master, the Fourth Floor Lord, and the Twelve Pavilion Masters, but now they are not there. ”
Siqing frowned and said, "None of you go down?" The people from Bihai Palace nodded and said, "We have always performed our own duties, and those who stay in Bihai Palace only need to do their own things in the palace." Siqing couldn't help it, so he didn't ask any more. He walked back to his senior brother and said, "Senior brother, what should we do now, we can't go down, there are ······ in the palace"
Sibei shook his head and said: "Everything in the world has its own certainty, and if you can't go down, you won't go down." Siqing didn't say anything more, they turned their heads to look at Si Kouxi, who was still lying unconscious, and Siqing said softly: "Senior brother, these six princesses are much more ruthless than we imagined. Sibei looked at his junior brother and said: "You can't say that, everyone has their own reasons for standing on their own standpoint, and it is not someone else who can judge everything with a word." If the six princesses don't do it this time, then the crown prince himself will not get the throne in the future, and he will do the same, it is better for this to happen when he is in his fledgling. ”
Lan Jing took Zhong Hua and Zhong Mou all the way to the dust, because there were few people, so their speed was faster than Lan Qiong, so they also quickly caught up with Lan Qiong. Lan Qiong didn't expect her brother to come so quickly, and she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw it.
Lan Qiong saw the sixth brother's hurried appearance, and the tiredness on the sixth brother's face, he rode on the horse and said, "Sixth brother, should we rest on the spot?" Qi Shu also saw Lan Jing's appearance and echoed: "Prince, why don't you take a break, the investigation of the crown prince and the second prince is within the princess's budget, and there shouldn't be any big deals." Lan Jing shook his head and said, "You don't know the prince, he won't sit back and wait after something like this happens, I don't feel right lately, I have to go back immediately." Lan Qiong touched his nose and wondered when the sixth brother would believe in such a thing, but he didn't say much.
Lan Jing and Lan Qiong's group of people are getting closer and closer to Tengxiao Country, and all what happened in Tengxiao Country has reached Lan Jing's ears, and they don't believe that Si Kouxi will die at all. Because of such news, they were eager to put on their wings and rush back immediately.
With the army affecting the speed after all, they decisively chose the general to lead the army, and their group immediately rushed back to Tengxiao Kingdom. The crown prince and his entourage have made the entire Tengxiao Kingdom panic, and they have already forced into the palace. The emperor stood where the courtiers went to court, looking at his son, who was fighting with him, and he sneered: "Lan Xiao, you really want the throne so much!" ”
Lan Xiao smiled and said: "Father, this throne was originally mine, but now you actually want to give it to others, I just prevent my own things from being handed over to others, and I don't have the ability to hold it firm!" The emperor looked at the son in front of him, he knew his ambition from the beginning, after He Yi's death, he had been thinking about leaving the crown prince to Lan Jing, but thinking that Lan Jing was now helpless, the crown prince might cause him too much trouble, so he gave the crown prince to Lan Xiao.
The emperor doesn't want to say more to a person who doesn't know what to turn back to, even if he looks at his previous corruption and bribery, he will not leave him the position of prince again, even if he gives an explanation to the people of the world, he will not let go of his son. Not to mention that he was now intent on rebellion, he waved his hand to signal Si Kou Zhan.
Si Kou Zhan shouted: "Prepare for war!" All the remaining soldiers drew their swords and faced them. Lan Xiao snorted coldly, looking at the number of soldiers in front of him: "Father, it seems that you don't even want to say a word to me." Okay, then don't blame your son, your precious son Lan Jing is not here now! ”
A group of black-clothed masked people flew out of the wall, blocking the emperor. Lan Xiao and the emperor were shocked, and none of them knew the origin of this group of people.
Lan Xiao didn't want someone to ruin his good deeds now, and an accident might happen if he delayed it for an extra second. Lan Xiao pointed his sword at them and said, "If you don't want to die, let me leave." Yan Qi covered his face and snorted coldly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if you want to kill the Holy Master, pass our level first." Lan Xiao really thought it was extremely funny, there were only a hundred of them in total, how could they stop him, he wanted to ask the identity of the person who came.
Yan Qi didn't want to reveal his identity, and Bihai Palace has always adhered to the attitude of not involving royal matters. But there seemed to be someone around the prince who recognized them, and Yan Qi wondered why someone would recognize him, only someone in the rivers and lakes would recognize him so quickly, could it be that the prince colluded with the people in the rivers and lakes.
But at this moment, no one should pay attention to this matter anymore.
The people of the Blood Lotus Sect were eager to kill the people of Bihai Palace, and they quickly instigated Lan Xiao to do it. Between their moves, Yan Qi recognized it, it was a member of the Blood Lotus Sect, and Silver Frost naturally recognized it as well. There was a hot fight below, and the whole square was shouting and killing. The civil official was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, but he just looked at the emperor and his party who were at a disadvantage, and wept in his heart and wanted to finish. As long as it was the generals led by Si Kou Zhan, their armor was stained with blood, and with the help of Yanqi Yinshuang and his party, Si Kou Zhan actually lasted until the arrival of Lan Jing and his party.
Lan Jing saw the devastated Six Kings Mansion when he galloped towards the palace, and the fear in his heart was even worse, Lan Qiong looked at the sixth brother who stopped the horse, and just wanted to speak, but Lan Jing didn't give him a chance at all, so he rode his horse and ran in the direction of the palace, and everyone followed.
When they arrived at the square, they found that it was already a mess, Lan Xiao was the first to notice Lan Jing rushing in, he quickly grabbed the emperor, a sword across the emperor's neck, and shouted: "Lan Jing, I forgive you for not daring to come!" Lan Jing looked at his father who was being held hostage, he dismounted with red eyes, drew his sword and pointed at Lan Xiao and said, "Lan Xiao, he is also your father!" ”
Lan Xiao looked at his father, who was held hostage by himself and had white hair on his sideburns, and snorted coldly: "Does he treat me as his son!" In his heart, you are his son! Everyone saw that the emperor was abducted, and immediately changed their postures, and pointed at Lan Xiao with their swords. Lan Xiao looked at his few remaining subordinates, and saw Lan Jing coming to the rescue, knowing that maybe he didn't have much chance of winning at this moment, but he didn't want everyone to have a good time.
Lan Xiao's face suddenly turned hideous, and he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Lan Jing, you have gone back to see the Six Princes' Mansion, you know that the Six Princesses are dead!" Si Kou's family and Lan Jing and his party all looked at Lan Xiao in disbelief, Lan Jing never believed Lan Xiao's words, he roared angrily: "Impossible! Lan Xiao just likes to see Lan Jing's uncontrollable fear, like the way he lost his mother back then, he waved his hand to his subordinates, and the three straw mats were thrown on the ground, Lan Xiao smiled and said: "Look for yourself, I also deliberately dug up your princess's body, but unfortunately it was all burned." Oh, by the way, there's this on the corpse. After saying that, he threw a piece of jade pendant on the ground. Everyone recognizes that this is a pair of phoenix pendants with Lan Jing, Si Kouxi has always regarded this jade pendant as a treasure and will not lose it.
Lan Jing couldn't believe it, he slowly stepped forward, but suddenly one leg was weak, and he fell directly to one knee on the ground. Lan Qiong immediately wanted to go up and help her sixth brother up, but Lan Jing was pale and bloodless, and her eyes were red, as if there was a fire gathered inside. Lan Xiao felt very happy when he saw Lan Jing who was embarrassed at this time, and he didn't forget to continue to stimulate him, and he made a "tsk" sound in his mouth. "It's a couple, then I think I should tell you how she died. She burned her own herself, saying that even if she died, she wouldn't let me occupy the Six Kings' Mansion, and she wouldn't let me arrest her to threaten you! Hey, Lan Jing, you're really a good wife, she died because of you. ”
Lan Jing couldn't listen to it anymore, even if he was dragging a weak leg, he rushed forward to kill Lan Xiao, Lan Xiao shouted, pushed the emperor away, and met Lan Jing's attack. Lan Jing's move is fatal, where is it that a person like Lan Xiao can resist, Lan Xiao grabbed the emperor who fell to the side and asked him to be a shield, Lan Jing took care of his father, and it was inevitable that he would be restrained. Lan Xiao seized the opportunity and stabbed Lan Jing with a sword. Lan Jing wanted to dodge, but a leg that couldn't move made him unable to dodge.
None of the people who were fighting in the distance had a chance to rush over and watch the sword stab at Lan Jing. When they thought that everything was helpless, a man in a yellow battle robe stood in front of Lan Jing, and the sword stabbed straight at him. Lan Jing looked at his father who was blocking the arrows for him, and immediately raised the sword in his hand and swung it at Lan Xiao.
Lan Xiao split up on this head, and this battle ended with the death of the prince and the serious injury of the emperor. The war of rebellion ended in such a tragic end.
