"Can you escape?" Li Xuanba had long been wary of Xue Ju's breakthrough, so as soon as he saw his movements, he immediately drew his sword and attacked. [with _ dream]ā .

"Boom!" Cold light emerged, a rainbow light soared out, and Li Xuanba's whole person was as fast as a tiger and leopard, his toes touched the ground, and an astonishing impact speed erupted.

Seeing the afterimage, Li Xuanba leaned over and rushed out, stabbing with his sword.

Xue Ju's internal strength couldn't be raised, only ordinary physical functions remained, and about thirty percent of his skills remained, and his speed naturally slowed down.

As soon as he rushed out four or five steps, he sensed a cold light locking onto his back, and if he didn't dodge, he would inevitably be killed by a sword piercing his back after three steps.

Xue Ju had a lot of hatred in his eyes, but he had no choice but to dodge sideways, and at the same time shouted: "Someone, there are assassins!" ”

In the past, Xue Ju, the overlord of Western Qin, roared, like a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, and he could definitely be heard a hundred zhang away, but today's shout was worse than the screams of ordinary strong men, the middle qi was insufficient, and the fabric of this camp tent was soundproof, so his voice penetrated out and did not spread far.

The guards outside had all been put down in advance, dead or unconscious, and there was silence.

The guards in charge of the patrol were transferred and consciously did not arrive in time, so they did not notice anything unusual here.

In order to cooperate with this action, Ye Yao of the Heavenly Pavilion used the power of the sect and the inner ghosts placed in Xue Ju's camp to respond, so that such a scene could be achieved, otherwise, it would be impossible for the two of them to reach the princes and kings quietly without being at the top of their martial arts.

At this moment, Ye Yao also held the sword tightly, paid attention to the situation inside the tent, made up the knife and stabbed at any time, and listened to the situation outside.

"Dangdang!"

At this time, Xue Ju took out a saber and fought hard with Li Xuanba, but his strength was very great, and after a few moves, he was stabbed by Li Xuanba three times, and he was scarred.

Xue Ju showed a look of despair on his face, he originally intended to fight for the world, and he had just defeated Li Tangjun, but he didn't expect to capsize in the gutter here, and he was calculated by the hidden door.

"Lao Tzu is not convinced, Lao Tzu should have the throne, you are thieves, the real three indiscriminate methods, you have the ability to let Li Yuan fight with Lao Tzu head-on!"

"You poisoned more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians, and you are more than innocent!" Li Xuanba was unmoved, cold and abnormal, and his skills also entered the level of innate qi, and the sword was mixed with Senhan sword qi, and finally, he broke the horizontal knife in Xue Ju's hand, and cut off Xue Ju's head with a sword.

"Poof!"

The head rolled on the ground, blood sprayed, and a generation of princes and kings died.

"Without further ado, leave immediately!" Ye Yao was worried that Chi would change, and he would be encircled and suppressed by the army, and no matter how high his martial arts were, there would be danger.

Li Xuanba nodded and said: "Wait for me to pour lamp oil, light a fire, and destroy the corpse!" ”

He acted decisively, not wanting people to find out that Xue Ju was killed, but to destroy the evidence here, increase the unknowability of Xue Ju's death, and make the enemy fearful.

Ye Yao was not restrained, let him do it, and in a moment, a fire broke out in the tent, and a lot of lamp oil was poured on Xue Ju's body, wrapped in a lot of cotton cloth, and the fire would soon burn black, difficult to identify.

The two left quickly, and the sentry had already been figured out, so they kept dodging the patrolling guards and guards and withdrew to the outside of the camp.

When the fire of the king's account rushed up, the surrounding guards found out and rushed over to put out the fire, shouting anxiously, and there was chaos.

……

The next day, all the people of the Western Qin army were panicked, because the Western Qin Emperor stayed overnight, the king's tent suddenly caught fire and was burned to death, and the matter was too funny and mysterious.

Xue Rengao hurried back with his guards, and when he learned of this result, he was both angry and happy, and he was angry that the dignified Emperor of Western Qin died in such an unknown way in one night, which must have been done by the assassins sent by the Tang Army. The good thing is that he can succeed to the throne, no longer subject to discipline, and can grasp the power of Western Qin.

Xue Rengao shouted coldly: "Investigate, let Dali Siqing immediately investigate this matter thoroughly, it must be that night that there was an assassination at this moment, and the guards outside the tent were assassinated, which is the evidence." ”

Hao Zhan analyzed: "To be able to sneak into the king's account and plot to kill His Majesty without knowing it, in addition to the assassin's extremely high martial arts, there must be a conspiracy. ”

A big general said: "Quickly summon the chief of the guard and the chief of the patrol who were on duty that night to come and cooperate with the investigation." ”

As a result, after an intensive investigation, it was found that there were two captains on duty that night, one was the chief of the guard who was responsible for patrolling the nearby sentry posts, and the other was the chief of the guard who was responsible for the deployment of the second layer of defense in the king's account, and they had disappeared.

"Sure enough, there are traitors!" Xue Rengao's face was pale, if this kind of thing happened once, it was possible that it would happen a second time, so he had to thoroughly investigate the loyalty of the Praetorian Guards and the background of the captains and generals, just in case.

Hao Zhan persuaded: "Your Highness, the matter of attacking Daxing City should be reconsidered, now that Your Majesty suddenly died violently, it will have a great impact on the morale of the army, and if you fight against the expedition, I am afraid that it will be fluctuating." ”

Xue Rengao nodded, although his personality is reckless, he is not stupid, and he can also distinguish good words, at this time, it is difficult to win if he marches again, it is better to take a step back, first succeed to the throne and grasp the power, do a wave of the army to the east, and fight with the Tang army.

The Western Qin army withdrew to Changwu City in Beidi County, where Xue Rengao stayed and anxious some civil and military officials to discuss the succession.

Since Xue Ju is such a sister-in-law and holds part of the military power, it is logical for him to ascend the throne as the emperor.

Xue Rengao told Xue Ju to be the martial emperor, and wanted to send Xue Ju's charred body back to Tianshui County, and then bury it in the scenery.

Although when Xue Ju was in power, he respected Chu Liang, the great Confucian in the northwest, and took him wherever he went, and served as a staff member with the army, but Xue Rengao was conceited and did not take this kind of old scholar doctor to heart, and when he saw that he took the initiative to ask Ying, he sent him to do it.

Chu Liang knows Xue Rengao's talent and temperament very well, he doesn't even have the general ability of his father Xue Ju, he is young and vigorous, hot-headed, and the next attack on Jingzhao County will definitely be defeated by the Tang army, follow him on the expedition, and it is likely that he will die in the chaos.
