Chapter 667: Yellow Sparrow
Li Fengniang never thought that the night in Lin'an would be so long, so long that she couldn't wait to rush to the Yuanyou armillary sphere and beat the louder drum with her own hands, so as to drive the time faster.
Zuo Yu, Left Foot, and even most of the Prince's Mansion guards had already gathered together when it was getting dark, and when Zuo Yu and Left Foot brothers found her, Li Fengniang just let out a heavy hum and let them go.
Now more than an hour has passed, and there is still no news or movement at all, whether the minister is dead or alive, her whole heart is in chaos, and the whole person is restless.
From time to time, he and Zhu Ye'er anxiously looked in the direction of Guanquanfang, and in the corridor, a figure was walking briskly towards the prince's study.
Li Fengniang, who watched this scene, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately chased after Zhu Ye'er, and when she walked to the door, she heard the man saluting the prince and saying: "Lin'an Mansion has sentenced Qian Xiangzu to see His Royal Highness the Prince." β
Li Fengniang at the door was stunned, Qian Xiangzu ......? People from the Qian family, what are you doing here at this time?
"What's the matter?" When the prince's voice sounded, Li Fengniang walked straight in with Zhu Ye'er without saying hello.
After saluting Li Fengniang, she glanced at the prince with some embarrassment, and followed the prince's words: It's okay, just say it bluntly.
Qian Xiangzu said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Crown Princess, believe in the Wangfu...... The conflict has arisen and is murderous. β
"Really?" The prince was taken aback, and after quickly glancing at Li Fengniang, he got up from behind the desk and went around to Qian Xiangzu to confirm.
"Yes, after the first shout of killing sounded in the Xinwang Mansion, the minister immediately ran over to play the prince." Qian Xiangzu said respectfully.
Qian Xiangzu is also the queen of the Qian family, but compared to the Qian Jingzhen family, which is very close to the Emperor and the royal family, they are already ordinary in Lin'an, and the only sense of superiority is only their second-ranked surname.
"How is Ye Qing?" Li Fengniang ignored the prince's somewhat surprised expression, frowned and asked hurriedly.
Qian Xiangzu didn't even have the courage to look up at Li Fengniang, he lowered his head and replied: "I can't know the details for the time being, but ...... The forces in the area around Guanquanfang are obviously extremely complex. And...... Today, from Wulin Gate and other city gates, there are also a lot of people pouring in, these people at night, also sneaked into Guanquanfang, it is not clear who secretly sent these people. β
"What about the Imperial City Division?" Li Fengniang asked.
The prince stood aside, looked at Qian Xiangzu for a while, and looked at Li Fengniang for a while, so he picked up a cup of tea and put it in Li Fengniang's hand, just like when there were no outsiders, he poured tea and water for Li Fengniang.
"Li Heng, the commander of the Imperial City Division, is also there, and the ministers are ...... When he came out of Guanquanfang, he was stopped by Li Heng, but after the minister revealed his identity, he let the minister walk out of Guanquanfang. Qian Xiangzu replied respectfully.
Qian Xiangzu was able to become a general judge of Lin'an, in addition to thanking the prefect Xiao Zhen for his recommendation, but also thanks to the promotion of the prince.
Although Qian Xiangzu didn't know the inside story, through some clues, as well as the relationship between him and Ye Qing in the same year, including some hints from Xiao Zhen, he still more or less noticed that he could be reused by the prefect of Lin'an and the crown prince, and he should have a great relationship with Ye Qing.
In the Xinwang Mansion in Guanquanfang, with Jia She's whistle that pierced the night sky, the entire Xinwang Mansion instantly became filled with murderous intent, and it was as if it had entered the cold winter wax moon, and a compelling killing intent made people shudder.
And as King Xin took a step forward, he pointed at Ye Qing and scolded angrily: "Ye Qing, you are not caught yet!" In an instant, around the palace, there were screams and shouts of killing that made people's scalps tingle.
And almost at the same time, Zhang Dadao, Lu Zujian and others, who were originally standing at the door, were suddenly rushed in from the outside, and they were hit on the carpet in the hall like a rolling gourd, rolling around.
"Ye Qing, just be caught, this king can ...... his father." When King Xin stepped forward again, Ye Qing swept the umbrella that was originally on the ground in his hand and swept Song Qian who rushed towards him with his backhand.
Jia Shi also protected Ye Qing again while Song Qian pounced on Ye Qing, the oil-paper umbrella was tightly held in Ye Qing's hand, after avoiding Song Qian, he once again slid his palm over the folded umbrella surface, grabbed the tip of the umbrella and stabbed it back hard, only to see King Xin, who was very close to him, screamed in pain, and the cat began to stagger backwards.
Jia Shi caught Song Qian's counterattack for Ye Qing, so that Ye Qing had time to step again and chase after King Xin, who couldn't stop staggering back before the soldiers at the door rushed in, almost at the same time as the sound of the soldiers behind him drawing their knives out of their sheaths sounded, Ye Qing grabbed King Xin's shoulder, and blocked King Xin's body in front of him, and a pitch-black dagger was impressively against the neck of King Xin's Zhao Xuan.
"Stand down." Ye Qing snorted coldly.
"Presumptuous! Ye Qing, you are a rebellion, you dare to openly kidnap King Xin! Shi Hao stomped on the ground with the cane in his hand, stood up from the chair and said angrily.
Ye Qing didn't even look at Shi Hao, he kept staring at the soldiers who rushed in with murderous eyes, and said coldly: "I know that you are all people who believe in the king, if you want to believe in the king and fall, and want to lose both, you might as well take another step forward and try." β
"Ye Qing, you dare!" The crutches in Shi Hao's hand knocked on the carpet angrily: "Come on, take down Ye Qing and hand it over to the Emperor Taishang for disposal." β
"Wei Guogong, so you don't care about the life of the king of the letter?" Ye Qing couldn't help but retreat, and Jia Shi and Song Qian had also separated, standing beside Ye Qing and vigilantly retreating together.
Shi Hao, who was originally old, turned out to be numb in his legs and feet at this moment, pressing Ye Qing step by step with a cane, and his cloudy eyes were full of hideousness and weirdness: "The old man doesn't believe that you Ye Qing dares to kill King Xin......." β
"Really?" Ye Qing's field knife on Zhao Xuan's neck was slightly forced, and a trace of bright red blood instantly flowed down from King Xin's slightly raised neck: "Wei Guogong might as well take a step forward and try again!" β
"Do you think the old man won't dare?" The hideous meaning in Shi Hao's cloudy old eyes was even stronger.
And King Xin, who was being held hostage, immediately shouted after feeling a slight pain in his neck and the blade of the dagger loosening a little: "Wei Guogong stop." β
As King Xin screamed, Ye Qing first laughed, and then said lightly behind King Xin: "Hasn't King Xin seen it until now?" Wei Guogong has been using you all along, and the reason why you were able to be recalled to Lin'an in less than three years from Kuizhou Road is naturally indispensable for Wei Guogong to speak for you in front of the Emperor. But do you think that by doing this, Wei Guogong is really seeking justice and seeking justice for you? Don't forget, when Jiankang was in the middle of Jiankang, the one who made waves behind us, promoted the Jiankang incident and then caused death, but it was Shi Miyuan, the grandson of Wei Guogong. β
"Ye Qing, what do you mean by that?" Shi Hao turned his head to look at the outside of the hall, and now the sound of fighting outside was getting stronger and stronger, and it was getting closer and closer to them.
"What does it mean, Wei Guogong himself is not clear? It's nothing more than Wei Guogong, you want to catch it all and leave no hidden dangers. Shi Miyuan betrayed King Xin in Jiankang and had a grudge with King Xin, but now if King Xin is allowed to gain the favor of the Holy Lord and the Emperor Taishang again because of my Ye Qing, it is naturally what Wei Guogong does not want to see, so if he can take today's opportunity to get rid of me Ye Qing, and also remove a big trouble for Shi Miyuan above the court in the future, presumably Wei Guogong must be willing to do it, right? Ye Qing at this moment is obviously much more than what he said just now.
"It's nonsense, how can the old man kill King Xin because of you?" Wei Guogong Shi Hao's crutches hit the ground to express his indignation in his heart that he had been wronged by Ye Qing.
"Then Wei Guogong admits that the reason why he came to the palace today is entirely because he has murderous intentions against me Ye Qing?" Ye Qing's rhetorical question made Shi Hao suddenly startled, and only then did he realize that he had fallen into Ye Qing's words trap, just like he had just forced Ye Qing to say those two words.
Zhao Xuan, the king of letters, looked at Wei Guogong's old face that suddenly changed his expression, and blurted out: "Wei Guogong, you ...... What Ye Qing said is true? You don't really want to get out with me, do you? I...... Didn't you say that the original grievances were written off? β
"King Xin, how dare the old man have murderous intentions towards you? Old man...... The old man is all scaring Ye Qing, betting that Ye Qing will not dare to do anything to you, doesn't he know, if you are worried about your life, how can the Emperor Taishang ....... Shi Hao only found out at this time that Ye Qing had begun to show weakness since he entered the palace, not because he had given up resisting, but because he had been paralyzing himself, just like he had been secretly observing him all these years.
"How could King Xin not know that the Emperor Taishang had murderous intentions towards me Ye Qing? How could King Xin not know that if I could still see the Emperor Taishang in the Storm Pavilion, it would ...... Does that mean you've failed? Therefore, such a good opportunity to extinguish the king of letters, the opportunity to blame Ye Qing, and a great opportunity to clear the way for Shi Miyuan to clear the way to the court in the future, Wei Guogong, who has been an official all his life, obviously will not give up, right? Ye Qing was now in the hall and could not retreat, and the fighting at the entrance of the hall was getting louder and louder.
King Xin has obviously reacted, Ye Qing is not completely ignorant, everything today, obviously Ye Qing is clear, even including what is the purpose of inviting him to the palace, in fact, when he was at the gate of the palace, Ye Qing was already completely clear.
"You know I'm going to kill you?" Shin asked.
"It's still not clear to King Xin, you, like me, are just a chess piece in the hands of Wei Guogong, and you, after killing me, will also be killed by Wei Guogong, and this matter will naturally be blamed on my head, as for Wei Guogong, he can tell the Emperor Taishang that it was the old minister's negligence and failed to protect King Xin, so he fell for Ye Qing's thief, please ask the Emperor Taishang to punish the old minister." Ye Qing learned from Shi Hao to speak with emotion, and continued: "But will the Emperor Taishang punish Wei Guogong for this?" Obviously not, after all, Wei Guogong is afraid that he also knows that his limit is approaching, so he wants to clear all the ......obstacles of the court for his grandson before he dies. β
Ye Qing's words seemed to be saying to King Xin alone, but the soldiers in the hall, the disheveled Zhang Dadao, Lu Zujian and others were dumbfounded, they couldn't imagine that the alliance between Wei Guogong and King Xin was actually left by Wei Guogong.
And with Ye Qing's words, Shi Hao, who was still a little nervous, became calm at the moment, his old body gradually straightened up, and the crutches in his hand were lifted in his hand like a sharp sword.
"Ye Qing, the old man underestimated you, it seems that Tang Si's death back then was not unjust, but it's a pity...... Such a good person can't be used by me. King Xin, don't blame the old man for being ruthless, the Shi family wants to continue and glorify the ancestors, so they have to make this decision, the old man is old, all the hopes of the Shi family are on my grandson, so the old man ...... In my lifetime, I naturally want to clear all obstacles for my grandson. Jiankang, because of you Ye Qing, Shi Miyuan lost the connections and interests accumulated by my Shi family for many years in Jiangdong, King Xin was deposed, Princess Xin did not know where to go, these grievances King Xin must be with the two of you, yes, and the Han family has to make a break, so I am also thinking about you Ye Qing. Shi Hao didn't care about the sound of the battle that was already close at hand, and his demeanor was much calmer than just now.

"I'm all dead, what are you thinking about me?" Ye Qing sneered, casually glanced at the door of the hall, Li Heng, Po Li San, Zhao Qi'er, Zuo Yu, and Left Foot, I don't know if I can withstand the alliance between Shi Hao and King Xin, or that Zhao Gou secretly acquiesced to the strength of King Xin's palace front division.
"So, does Wei Guogong really mean to kill Zhao Xuan?" King Xin was a little confused at this time, and suddenly had some doubts about whether he was recalled for revenge when he returned to Lin'an this time, or was he used as a chess piece, and after being stunned, he looked at Shi Hao and asked, "Wei Guogong, is this your idea, or is it ...... Or was it my father's idea? β
Shi Hao turned his head and glanced at Zhang Dadao and the others behind him, and finally fixed his eyes on Song Qian's body, and said lightly: "Song Qian, the glory and wealth, and the high-ranking officials are right in front of you, what the old man can do for you has already been done, and now ...... It's up to you to have the ability. β
"Yes, Duke Wei." Song Qian nodded expressionlessly, and there was an extra knife in his hand in an instant, and before Zhang Dadao could react, the knife light had already passed through Zhang Dadao's neck.
With Zhang Dadao before he died, he didn't even shout for help, and when he slowly fell, Shi Hao turned his head to look at King Xin and said: "King Xin, it's not important now, but King Xin can rest assured that the Emperor Taishang will definitely bury you." β
"Shi Hao, you ......." King Xin was shocked, looking at the corners of Shi Hao's mouth covered by his white beard, the sneer that gradually emerged, and shouted in disbelief.
Not far away, Zhang Dadao's dead eyes were lying in a pool of blood at the moment, looking at him blankly, as if he was begging for help.
"This is naturally the will of the Emperor." After Shi Hao told King Xin unmistakably, the crutches that Shi Hao had originally held on the ground flew up like lightning, and just when Ye Qing wanted to pull King Xin to dodge, like a poisonous snake, he instantly stabbed King Xin in the chest.
"it...... Jia Shi jumped out of the window! Ye Qing pushed the King of Faith in front of him towards Shi Hao, and then hurriedly followed Jia Shi to the window next to him.
