Chapter 40: The royal court is murderous

Since the Empress Dowager invited the old valley lord of Bingzu Gu Mu from Gabu Lake Ranch to the royal court, the de facto command of the royal dragoon has been handed over to this old man with a kind face.

Wang Fei is the king, and Hou Fei is the queen, and there is an old man Mu in the empire.......

The songs sung by the children of Shuijing Valley Fort quickly swept the entire northern territory like a prairie spark.

The entire royal court is clear in their hearts, and the fact that the Bingzu Valley controls the three main forces of the empire cannot be changed, especially the rout of the former commander Tuoba Tianyang who buried half of the dragoons in Luomazhou, which is not only a great reputation for the god of war for the prince of Shenguang, but also the last straw that crushes the heart of the clan's relatives and nobles.

"The world is difficult to peace, and the most difficult thing is the human heart. If you settle your heart, you will be able to live your life, and you won't even feel bitter. This is what the old queen mother said to the thrush after drinking the wild tea of Shenxiu Feng in the bowl, of course, Mrs. Tuoba, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, did not listen to it in her heart.

As for whether Mrs. Tuoba brought the words or not, the old queen mother was in no mood to care, there were too many people eating idle meals on the grassland, and there were always some who should be damned.

In the year of wind and rain, there is not enough cattle and sheep to eat.

The most poisonous old woman's heart, between the wind and clouds, the princes bowed their heads.

On the temple, there are people who help the people through the country, there are people who do their best, there are people who interfere in politics and chaos in the country, and there are naturally people who are in charge of the jackals. Just in the days when the lord of Mu Laogu was listening to the wind and rain in the royal capital, a thrilling but hastily ending assassination case made the old queen mother really angry, Bingzu Valley claimed to be the killer holy land of Beihu, who would have thought that the killer's ancestor was almost assassinated in the royal court capital, which is a big joke in the world.

The lord of Mu Laogu calculated that someone was unhappy, so he closed the door to thank the guests, and he was too lazy to care about the affairs of the temple.

Things in the world are difficult for people with hearts, mountains can't come, and people pass. The apprentice Huan Tan personally built the small building in Liuxi, surrounded by lakes for dozens of miles, and there is only a three-story small building in the middle, standing in the lake, connecting with only a single wooden bridge on the shore.

Huan Tan has been lonely since childhood, the memory of childhood is only accompanied by the teacher day and night, whenever the wind and snow are full, Mu Lao Gu Lord always takes him to Hantan to fish, and the idea of building the Liuxi small building is also derived from the memory of the master and apprentice in the middle of the night, after October in the north, the capital will usher in the first snowfall, when he wants to accompany the master to fish in the snow, so he hired someone to build this Liuxi small building. However, it was through the passage between the small lake and the water system outside that the assassins in the capital dug through the small lake and the outside that they dived in the dark and touched the assassins of the small building in the middle of the night.......

The guards of the Great General's Mansion of Huan Tan were notified to come to deal with the aftermath, and when the chief housekeeper saw the ten faceless corpses lined up, a heart hanging in his throat was finally put down, and she thought of the master's figure like a demon god, and she was heartbroken.

The news of the assassination of the old valley lord of the ancestral valley spread quickly in the royal capital like a hurricane transit, and for a while everyone in the royal capital was in danger, if this thing was done, it would be fine, now stealing chickens is not a loss of rice, and then you have to face the anger of the old queen mother, and what is even more terrifying is the commander of the ghost cowardly army Huan Tan, no one wants to face the butcher's knife of the great demon god Huan Tan, the demon god is killed in a tough battle, and the heads are piled up.

The lord of Mu Lao Gu did not show up from beginning to end, but he ordered the news of the assassination to be postponed for a day and a night before being released.

Since the Queen Mother threw the hot potato into his hands, if she didn't send a pillow to those who wanted to doze off, I am afraid that she would not be able to get out of this Liuxi Xiaozhu.

Xiqiang Baijia is flying and domineering, entrenched in the northeast of the grassland, listening to the propaganda or not listening to the tune, the armor soldiers in the clan are all known as the enemy of 100 people, and they are not defeated by the great demon god Huan Tan hard-fronted, exterminating and slaughtering the city. Speaking of which, if it weren't for Huantan's slaughter of the Xiqiang tribe, I am afraid it would not have led to the death of the rabbit and fox of the Motuo tribe, and the betrayal of the empire came together with the prince of Shenguang, and it was the main force of the 40,000 king's account dragoon army that was killed in the battle of Luomazhou.

Just after September this year, a cold wind brought a storm and snow, and the capital was covered with a thick layer of snow overnight, with verandahs and eaves and corners, red walls and white tiles.

The assassination of Liuxi Xiaozhu led to the eighteen heads of the Tuoba clan and the Yelu clan, and that night there was a wail in the court of the two major noble clans in the empire for a hundred years, and the helmsmen of the older generation withered and fell.

And Mu Lao Gu Lord is overnight into the palace to resign, who would have thought that the usual legs and feet are inconvenient and the old eyes of the queen mother, at this time the hands and feet neatly walked down to help the old valley master, officially the tiger talisman of the Wang Account Dragoon was given to him, and the generalissimo of the empire was given the command of the three armies, ten miles of long streets, the guard of honor was slow, and the two old men in the armor helped each other until they were sent back to Liuxi Xiaozhu, and asked them to recuperate with peace of mind.

Before the news of the Imperial assassination case reached Youyun City and the camp of the Ghost Cowardly Army, the golden scroll that the lord of the country had conferred on the lord of Mu Laogu as the generalissimo of the empire had already spread to all directions.

When General Huan Tan and Murong Yanran received two pieces of news almost at the same time, they both remembered the words of their mentor when they left the valley, the day of the meeting of the three armies, the day of the decisive battle between the empire and the Shenguang Dynasty, so the ghost cowardly army changed its combat style, and suddenly turned the gun to snipe Liu Zhilun's department with all his might, of course, Huan Tan was coldly harvesting the heads of the soldiers on the eastern front of Shenguang, but the thoughts in his mind had already flown to the capital, and he had already sent a team of 5,000 elite horsemen to rush back to the royal capital last night. How can he be worthy of his nickname of the demon god.

After Cui Hanzhang and Lian Haichao dressed up, they went to Zimo and practiced Hongchen at dusk, who never thought that they would be sold as two-legged sheep halfway, both of them were people with clear minds, so they naturally sold them into Benlei City by mistake, and after entering the city, they found a gap and slipped away.

The news that Beihu Bingsheng was given the title of generalissimo of the three armies also shocked Cui Hanzhang, who had just infiltrated Benlei City, and he personally heard the words of King Pingkang who admired him very much, and witnessed the frustration of the Lingwu Marquis of Gabu Lake in the fiasco of the battle of Gabu Lake and could not be rescued, which made him admit that he was terrified when facing this person, and this person's ascension to the throne was probably not the blessing of divine light.

After entering the city, the two of them went out day and night, contacting the people who entered the city in batches, and never thought that more than half of the internal losses should be lost, Cui Hanzhang had thought that the situation in the twelve states of Youyun was grim, but after a few days of lurking, he still felt pressure.

Tonight, he ambushed and attacked a team of Ben Thunder swordsmen, and learned that three days later, the five major surnames and the Xinghai Department were going to hold an alliance in Liuluan City, and Marshal Murong Yanran would also be present at that time, and it seemed that it was going to determine the forces of the rivers and lakes in the twelve states of Youyun.

After the two looked at each other, they understood the surprise from each other's eyes, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if it weren't for the 100,000 iron horsemen of Youyun City, I am afraid that none of the five major surnames would sell Murong Yanran's face, pinch their noses and welcome back the Xinghai Department that had been driven out of the twelve states with their own hands, and it was on an equal footing with them, which was even more embarrassing than eating.

"It's rare for these old immortals to sit together, and I went to find trouble one by one, and cut them all." Even the sea tide is full of banditry, and there is no trace of the temperament of a family.

"If Murong Yanran dies, the Twelve Prefectures of Youyun will definitely fall into extreme chaos, the five major surnames and the Xinghai Department will fight to the death first, and we will reap the profits, wouldn't it be better?" Cui Hanzhang listened to his words and did not object, but just analyzed a more labor-saving strategy.

"General Cui, don't underestimate Murong Yanran, I have heard Senior Sister Tiange mention that this handsome woman from the Bingzu Valley is extremely skilled and wise. Be careful not to fight the snake and not die, but to be bitten by the snake, she has 100,000 iron horses in her hand, and there is no place for you and me to hide in the twelve states of Youyun with an order. Although Lian Haichao was murderous, he was sober-minded and was not led astray by Hanzhang.

"The best success of the assassination, if it doesn't work, sow discord between her and the five surnames, you must know that the five surnames have been the head snake for a hundred years, and now they are suppressed by the transit dragon, they must be afraid and hateful in their hearts, who is not worried about becoming the second Liuluan City Lianjia? The six surnames can become the five surnames, why can't they become the four major surnames and the three surnames? ”

"How much do you want to kill with a single curlium knife? If the Twelve Prefectures of Youyun are made into an iron bucket by Murong Yanran, do you still have a chance? The exterior is impregnable, and the fortress must of course be breached from the inside. ”

Cui Hanzhang knew that Lian Haichao's mind was only on the family feud, and he didn't dare or wanted to make a mortal enmity with the Beihu military, so he cut off the possibility of rebuilding the Lian family in Beihu in the future, and automatically blocked the initiators behind the revenge of the extermination.

But he just wants to uncover this scar in a bloody way, so that even Haichao can face the facts, he can't avoid the military commander Murong Yanran for the revenge of his family, what can he do if he just kills a few principals with the five surnames? At best, the five surnames and the Xinghai Department are just competing for wild dogs and vultures, and sharing the remains of dead corpses.

Lian Haichao's face was pale and red, his eyes were angry, etc., even though he had a thousand hatreds, he couldn't vent them, the two confronted each other silently, the air was filled with solemnity, and no one dared to approach for a while.

The rapid ascension of Beihu Bingsheng was unexpected, not only disrupting the layout process of the war between the two countries, but also making the situation in the twelve states of Youyun more urgent.

"Poor and anxious. We can't afford to be ambiguous in our outlaws. The Twelve States Star Sea Department will meet this field, and I have made up my mind. ”

Cui Hanzhang didn't give him too much time to think, and directly had a showdown with him.

The autumn wind on the grassland rose, with the cold air of the far north, the night was lonely and lonely, and the two thin figures were greatly elongated under the base of the wall.

Although they have been together for a long time, the two have not made friends, and now facing the threshold of action, Cui Hanzhang does not mind picking out with him, if the Tao is different, they will not conspire with each other, and they will follow their own wills. If the hatred of the family and the country can't make him sober up and can't recognize that the Lian family is already an abandoned son of Beihu, then this person will not be able to become a big deal after all.

This former proud son of the Lian family was pressed step by step, helplessly lowered his head high, and the moment he lowered his head, it seemed that his spirit and spirit had been emptied, and his clothes swayed in the elongated figure, and he was even more depressed in the night wind......

This night was full of murderous machines, and the time of the fifth watch had passed, and the mist was filled in the streets and alleys of Liuluan City, and the cold air hit people.

The elders of the twelve states of Youyun are very clear that the annual cold wave goes south from the extreme north, and first passes through the royal court, so there is snow in October. However, the twelve states of Youyun originated from the barrier of the royal capital, and naturally the white dew was early, and the cold dew was late, and the mist of this night was unusually cold.

The wind rolls cold, the clouds are twilight, the snow is clear, and the river smoke washes away the wicker light. This year's king not only has a snow scene, but also a red scene in the snow.

The five thousand ghost cowardly soldiers first pulled out the ranch manor with two national surnames, and where they passed, the chickens and dogs were not left. Entering the city at midnight and heading straight to the two mansions, except for the fierce resistance encountered in the inner courtyard, it was too late for the other areas to see the ghosts and cowardly army flags, let alone have the courage to step forward to stop them.

It is precisely because of the great military exploits of the two founding surnames of Yelu and Tuoba that they are extremely graceful, and they are honored to guard the east and west sides of the royal capital and serve the Golden Palace. The three hundred Yelu heads on the back of the ghost cowardly army horses were bloodied all the way, traversing the east and west, leaving a strange scene in the snow.

The eldest son of the Tuoba clan was placed on the stone lion at will after being beheaded, and this unique snow red wonder was set against the blood lion of the Tuoba clan, which was rare for a hundred years.

After all, generations of martial artists, there are many dead soldiers in the clan, and they resist desperately to delay the attack of the ghost cowardly army, and buy precious time for the transfer of the old and young in the clan.

After the ghost cowardly army slaughtered more than 600 people of the two races, they lined up in a rowing outside the small gate of Liuxi, the streets and alleys, the birds were silent, and the sergeants and war horses were waiting for the dawn.

In the two great kingdoms of Yelu and Tuoba, there were headless corpses everywhere, leaving only a dozen old and young women and children crying, wailing and crying loudly through the cold snowy night.......

The next day, the first light of the morning, the snow refracted brighter, but the most dazzling thing was the red snow between the two mansions, which was extremely cold and gorgeous, which made the subjects of the royal capital shiver, perhaps because of the cold weather after the snow, but the tragedy of the two great surnames almost wiped out really shocked the royal capital, and the wall of the east and west streets was crowded with people watching the excitement, but no one dared to enter the house, so they could only squeeze their heads and stretch their necks to worry......

If the royal family and clan blood are cut off, how can the country be entrusted? The demon god Huan Tan never cared about this, so what did he have to do with it?

When the news reached the royal court, the young master vomited blood, looked up to the sky and cried out, and fell headlong on the bed. The inner court was in a mess, and before the medical officer arrived, the lord of the kingdom woke up slowly, and the evil was born to the side of the guts, and the uncontrollable blood and qi surged, and he pulled out his sword and went straight to the palace of the royal court........

Dark clouds give birth to four fields, and the fog locks the sky.

The murderous aura of the royal capital was permeating, and the air was so heavy that it was even more oppressive than before the snow.......

The oppressive atmosphere was mixed with the cold wave moving south, and it swept through the twelve states of Youyun overnight.

Liuluan City did not begin to dissipate until the sun was three poles, the well-arranged venue, the flag was unfurled, the garrison guard was tight inside and loose outside, the outer guard held a gun and a bow, the tail of the quiver was like a white snow cluster, and the children of the family were calm and calm, and the sword was hung from the waist.

There are all kinds of people who come in from all over the world to see the excitement, there are martial arts people who want to make a name for themselves, there are businessmen who come to do business, and there are also people of all ethnic groups living in the local area, people are talking to each other, all pointing and talking......

Murong Yanran in the mist is particularly charming, wearing a red shirt, with a graceful demeanor, a light red dress draped in a gauze shawl, and a gold-rimmed brocade belt tied horizontally around her slender waist, which highlights her proud curves from her slender waist to her breasts and hips.

"Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow; Forced to notice it, the scorching fufu out of the waves............"

A pair of peach blossom eyes are like two clear springs, and the beings in the venue are upside down and confused. Coupled with her jade-like snow-white skin, her whole person is like a lot of delicate and blooming flowers, full of bright light, frequent smiles, and gestures, all of which make people have a strong and irresistible impulse. If Cui Mingwei is beautiful in the bones, as bright as the spring sun, then Murong Yanran is beautiful and cold, with peach blossom eyes and flying willow eyebrows, if she is about to leave.

The helmsmen of the five surnames are already ancient and old, and every time they sweep their eyes over this handsome woman who has brought disaster to the country and the people, they can't help but lose their minds for a short time, and they feel that if they are twenty years younger, they will try to hold the beauty desperately, and they will fight the white jade bed.

However, the young Junyan among the five surnames was not full of excitement, tired of the red and willow green, but when he saw this famous Marshal Murong of the three armies, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

The desire to conquer is like the most powerful aphrodisiac, and the psychology of people who provoke is unbearable.

Today, one by one, the jade crown is tied with hair, the posture is heroic, the head is straight, like a colorful cockfight, there is a meaningful smile on the corner of the mouth, and the sense of urgency on the face cannot be concealed, they all want to show their style, if they can win the favor of Murong Yanran, and from then on step into the core circle of imperial power, not to mention the combination of wealth and color, wouldn't it be happy!

These pickled and obscene thoughts, Murong Yanran is not surprised, what man in this world is not overshadowed in front of the senior brother? She didn't waste a single bit of her mind on needless people........

Cui Hanzhang had learned her magic power to charm all living beings, and she was afraid of attracting the attention of others, so she naturally didn't dare to look too much, and after looking around the audience, she deduced the situation later in her heart.

At this time, the red makeup was better than the armament, and he looked at the audience with a smile, only a pair of eyebrows rose from time to time, inadvertently revealing a little sorrow.

According to the plan, later on, Lian Haichao will be the main attacker, and all the roads should be instructed to assassinate Murong Yanran with all their might.

Lian Haichao's life is destined to be a big trouble.

When the cold light of the Kun Gong knife appeared, the five surnames and the helmsmen of the Xinghai Department all smiled, thinking that the heroes and heroes of the twelve states would gather in Liuluan City and set up a huge battle, and they couldn't hold you, the remnant of the family, so they just found a piece of tofu and killed them.

Lian Haichao wore a hat to cover half of his face, but his burly arms waved cold light, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and in an instant, the severed limbs and stumps flew in the field, and the hot blood splattered onto the steps of the main seat, and even splashed on the faces of the onlookers, which was really terrifying.

Everyone here is old and sophisticated, squinting the corners of their eyes to communicate, and their hearts are shocked that this fish has slipped through the net, and in just a few months, their skills have become more sophisticated. This son can't stay, if it becomes a climate in the future, the children of the five surnames have no one to resist the opponent. But it's none of his business, since he is looking for Murong Yanran desperately, let's take a look at the excitement.

After killing the guards of the Star Sea Department in front of him, Lian Haichao did not encounter too many snipers, and took the opportunity to deceive himself into Murong Yanran's personal guards.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh". Following Lian Haichao's figure to Murong Yanran, there were also crossbow arrows from all directions, and the cold light of the arrows flashed, all of which were smeared with poison, and blood sealed their throats.

"It's good to come!" I saw Murong Yanran slap the table, waved it up and down as a shield in his hand, blocked the crossbow arrow and smashed it towards Lian Haichao, and at the same time, the figure came first like a ghost, caught up with the table, and hit the table with a palm, only to see a complete handprint sunken down the table, and the force penetrated through, hitting Lian Haichao directly, and Xinghai Kuigang also took the opportunity to smash Lian Haichao's back with a punch.

Murong Yanran woke up early in the morning and was restless, she didn't feel it without feeling the killing intent in the cold wave, but what puzzled her was that this murderous intent was faintly from the northern royal capital.

At this time, although she knew that the assassin was a remnant of the family, in her eyes he was just a dead man, so she was ruthless and wanted to kill with one blow.

Lian Haichao was worthy of the ruthless role, bent over and arched his back, raised the big dragon on his back to resist Yan Hengshan's heavy punch, and used his strength to accelerate a knife to slash at Murong Yanran, slashing the table with an indestructible knife, and directly hitting Murong Yanran's hand and wrist,

"Boom." The crisp sound reached the human ear, and the cold iron arm guard was directly cut off, and the rebound force shook Lian Haichao's mouth numbly, and he could no longer suppress the back injury, and spurted out a mouthful of blood and sprinkled it on the Kun Gong knife.

"Marshal!" The other guards saw Murong Yanran's arm hanging down, blood flowing down the arm, dripping to the ground, and they knew that after the two of them fought hard just now, they were both injured and all rushed up.

At this time, dozens of masked assassins flashed out of the crowd, and between the attacks, they advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, not at all like a reckless person in the rivers and lakes. This group of people stopped the guards who wanted to come forward to rescue them, and some people even waited for the opportunity to step forward, resulting in Murong Yanran's life.

"The five surnames are immortal, who gave you the courage to watch the excitement. If Marshal Murong makes a mistake, he is not afraid of being raided and exterminated? Seeing that he was entangled by the assassins who came out and couldn't rescue the commander, the head of the guard was anxious and scolded directly.

"The thief Hugh's murderer, Ben Thunder Sword Helian Dongming is here." Seeing that the situation is critical, there are naturally young talents to help at the critical moment.

Seeing that Helian's family was so shameless, after the other talents were unwilling, they drew their swords to help, and before they arrived, they came first, "With me Xia Mingyi here, who would dare to hurt Miss Murong." ”

"Dugu Yuan will not let go of any thief who dares to hurt Miss Murong."

None of these bastards stood to pee. If you don't make any effort to work, you will be invited to take credit at a critical moment, the five surnames are inherited in an orderly manner, and the older generations present are full of relief.

Cui Hanzhang felt embarrassed to see it, but the young talent with a thick skin like the Youyun City Wall naturally did not stick to these subtleties.

Cui Hanzhang estimated that it was difficult to make contributions to these two waves of manpower, and there were obviously hidden guards around, just after the tide was killed, there were pro-soldiers and guards quietly leaving, and it was estimated that there were heavy soldiers in ambush outside the city, if the embroidered fox was not fully grasped, he naturally did not dare to take the risk, presumably to lead the snake out of the hole, and then catch it all.

At the beginning of the year, the embroidered fox and the saint fought in front of the battle, you come and I are not lively, and the soldiers are used to plot tricks before the battle, although they are hostile, but the saint also praises this Beihu handsome.

Cui Hanzhang saw it with his own eyes, and he always sighed that women are not as good as men, and at today's event, both sides have their own ghosts. Since he came to Liuluan City, he definitely didn't have the idea of stealing his life, he just wanted to launch a fatal blow at a critical moment.

Taking advantage of the chaos, he killed a secret outpost, changed into a guard's clothes, and prepared to sneak into Murong Yanran's personal camp first, waiting for an opportunity.

The corners of Murong Yanran's mouth rose slightly, indescribably charming. Looking at the sword light and sword shadow in the field, he tidied up his clothes neatly, and pressed his left hand very covertly, suppressing the secret guard of Bingzu Valley who was stealthy and secret.

Others don't know the alchemy of Bingzu Valley, but the fight just now really made Lian Haichao's heart tremble, it seems that the rumors of the Great Wheel Temple's body refining are true, and there are opponents in the north.

Since his debut, he has never seen anyone who can resist the Kun Gong knife with his bare hands, even though Murong Yanran wears cold iron arm guards, but even Haichao specializes in the hard skills of the outside family of Dalun Temple, and since he was a child, he has been helped by different people to refine the body and build a foundation, relying on divine weapons, and he can't even take down the little girl.

This matter is categorically difficult to be good, and it also makes him dare not underestimate the world's heroes......
