Chapter Forty-Nine: Assassinating the King of Qin
The whole celebration banquet was quite lively, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless during the banquet, and everyone spoke happily and felt happy.
However, it can be seen carefully that the scene is not what it looks like on the outside, everyone has a little Jiujiu in their hearts, and they are just perfunctory greetings with each other, and the singing and dancing are not fake, but inadvertently the banquet has also been divided into two factions.
A group of ministers led by Duguyu maintained the sunny and hearty King Qin.
And the group of people led by Yu Wenhuan maintained the prince who was a little feminine and silent.
On the throne of the gold lacquer carved dragon at the top of the hall, the emperor sits on it, holding a wine glass in his hand, and from time to time gestures to the ministers who are toasting below, and the surface looks like a picture of looking at the world.
It's just that everyone here knows that his control over this empire has become weaker and weaker, and the power is basically in the hands of His Royal Highness's crown prince and King Qin.
Under the throne, the sleeves of the dancers fluttered; The bell rings the chime, the music is melodious, and the sandalwood lit on the pillar is full of smoke.
Deep in the palace, behind the singing and dancing is already in danger. Everyone on the field knows that the position decided now will ultimately determine his and his family's status and glory in the future.
Of course, it may be that the catastrophe will never be recovered and disappear, but a few of the authorities can see clearly, and they all firmly believe that their choice is the right one! And the other party's choice is wrong.
Who is the most sober person in the field? Of course, Yuesheng was born, Yuesheng never said a word from beginning to end, and someone came to toast and smiled slightly, just taste it. watched this farce with cold eyes.
Yuesheng had no intention of getting involved in this war that didn't belong to him, and he came here just to solve his father's grievances.
When you can have a showdown with these four families, the greater the right to speak, the greater the possibility of solving the problem.
The three major families in front of them are now in civil strife, but they can find a way to use their strength to solve one first, such as the Yuwen family. If the family collapses, the crown prince will lose his right-hand man.
If the crown prince collapses, the king of Qin will inevitably ascend to the throne and monopolize the power, if he can talk to the king of Qin, it will inevitably be much easier than talking to the emperor and the prince, after all, even the life of the king of Qin was saved by him Li Yuesheng.
If you have a plan in your heart, you will have a choice in your heart, but Yuesheng doesn't want to expose herself too early and make herself a target.
So in the eyes of everyone, what they see is that King Qin has been showing favor to Yuesheng, and Yuesheng doesn't seem to appreciate it very much. Just a faint response.
Because Yuesheng did not have an obvious position, the prince and Nayu Wenhuan did not embarrass Yuesheng, they respected each other like guests, and the relationship was not bad.
On the eve of the end of the banquet, a middle-aged man in the prince's camp, who was a little drunk, stood up and asked His Majesty the Emperor for instructions:
"Weichen Zhu Yong is willing to dance a sword for His Majesty to help the wine."
The emperor Lao'er was already a little dizzy in the persuasion of the old ministers. The court agreed, and asked the guards to prepare a good sword for him.
That Zhu Yong took the sword and danced in court, that Zhu Yong was also very handsome, his long shirt was fluttering, and his swordsmanship was also extremely exquisite, quite a bit of everyone's demeanor, Yuesheng and Yue'e also nodded.
At this time, the King of Qin turned his head and introduced to the two Yuesheng:
"This person is the commander of the East Palace, superb swordsmanship, originally a ranger, was recruited by Yu Wenhuan, and later recommended to the prince, and soon was appointed as the commander of the East Palace, known as the first sword in the capital."
Yuesheng listened to King Qin's introduction while looking at Zhou Yong who was dancing with a sword, and everyone next to him applauded, all of them were impressed by Zhou Yong's superb swordsmanship.
"The swordsmanship is a good swordsmanship, but it's a pity that it's not used on the right path, King Qin, pay attention, this person's swordsmanship and sword qi seem to be free, but the real sword qi target is against you!"
King Qin was startled when he heard this, did they dare to assassinate him in the wine banquet? The King of Qin hurriedly looked around, looking for something that could be used as a weapon, as it was forbidden to carry weapons at the banquet.
Even Yuesheng and Yue'e's long swords and short knives were handed over to the guards outside the door.
However, Yue'e still has a fish intestine sword hidden in her sleeve, but this situation is not suitable for taking it out now.
Yuesheng watched King Qin's performance, so he patted him on the shoulder to show not to be nervous.
King Qin looked at Yuesheng's breezy expression, and even relieved himself. But Ren Ran was nervously guarded.
Yuesheng turned his head and explained to Yue'e, asking her to pay attention to protecting King Qin. And Yuesheng himself secretly operated the Ninety-Nine Returning Yuan Technique, and his eyes were always staring at the direction of Zhou Yong's sword head.
As Yuesheng expected, when Zhou Yongjian Qi danced, his pace began to shift in the direction of King Qin. Not surprisingly, within five steps, King Qin was covered by his sword qi.
In the blink of an eye, the five-step distance had arrived, and Zhou Yong saw that King Qin was already within the range of his sword qi, so he immediately adjusted his posture and jumped high, and the sword light pointed to it was King Qin.
It was too late to say that it was fast, Zhou Yong's long sword was less than two feet away from King Qin, and everyone around couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it, with the power of Zhou Yong's sword, he could definitely take the life of King Qin.
Just when everyone thought that King Qin was in a catastrophe. Yuesheng had already pinched the handprint of the word Linzi and went to that week.
I saw that Zhou Yong looked at the long sword and was about to stab into King Qin, but saw Yuesheng next to King Qin raise his hands, and Zhou Yong suddenly fell backwards as if he had encountered a heavy blow, falling directly from the air to the ground, and then took a few steps back, fell to the ground, and spurted a mouthful of blood from his mouth. His eyes stared at Yuesheng next to King Qin.
There are words in the mouth:
"Why are you blocking me, why?"
At this time, the surrounding people reacted and immediately shouted:
"Guards! Escort!"
“……”
Soon a group of guards with long swords rushed into the hall, and Zhou Yong struggled to stand up, but before he could stand still, he fell to the ground again.
The surrounding guards ran forward and surrounded him.
After such a fuss, the drowsy emperor in the palace also woke up and slapped the table.
"Bold, presumptuous!"
"Arrest him for me, investigate it strictly, you must find out to me to see who instructed, if someone instructs, no matter who he is, I will never tolerate it."
After speaking, the emperor Lao'er glanced at the prince and Na Yu Wenhuan.
A group of long swords were aimed at Zhu Yong, and the two guards stepped forward to capture him, and wanted to take him away, but at this time, Zhu Yong took a breath and instantly shot and hit the guards next to him.
As soon as the guard fell to the ground, Zhu Yong took the opportunity to snatch the long sword and rushed towards the King of Qin. Blood was spilled all over the ground.
"Stupid!"
"Stubborn!
"Incorrigible, unforgivable!"
The emperor Lao'er was furious, slapped the table angrily, and scolded angrily in his mouth.
After such a fuss, the banquet instantly lost the slightest atmosphere, and the two factions were hostile to each other. If everyone has weapons in their hands, they will probably be able to fight.
"Scattered! Go back and reflect on me. ”
After the emperor finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, leaving two factions of people to stand on the spot.
Yuesheng walked out with Yue'e in his arms, arched his hand to everyone, and said with a smile:
"Everyone, Xiaosheng will take the first step!"
After speaking, he took Yue'e and strode towards the outside of the hall, and when everyone saw Yuesheng and the two leaving, they immediately snorted a few times, and left the banquet hall.
