King Huainan smiled and said: "The traitorous ministers are so arrogant, if the first emperor knows, I don't know how he will feel." His face sank, and he said: "Your Majesty, Hu Bowen suddenly retracted his confession today, it can be seen that Sima Lan's hands and feet are all over the sky, and even the criminal department is at his mercy. ”

Yuan Laoshangshu knew that there would be something big today, and said hurriedly: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid there is a big misunderstanding here." Lord Wang, you and Zhenguo Gong are both loyal to the country, and Hu Bowen's case will be strictly interrogated when you go back. Today is a sacrificial ceremony, so it's really hard to delay. Xiang Lingxu Palm taught: "Lingxu Palm, can't you find the rites?" ”

The Spirit Void Palm Sect bowed slightly, but did not speak.

Yuan Lao Shangshu wanted to say more, but King Huainan had already raised his hand and said, "Old Shangshu doesn't need to say much. If the traitor is not eliminated today, my great Chu will never have peace. He shouted: "Li Yuanxin, don't capture the rebellious Sima father and son!" ”

Many ministers present didn't know who the "Li Yuanxin" in the mouth of King Huainan was, and they were a little puzzled, but they saw a person rushing out from under the sacrificial platform, pulling out the saber at his waist, and shouting: "The traitorous minister is in chaos in the country, listen to my military order, and immediately take down the traitor Xiao Zhang!" At the sound of an order, the guards under the sacrificial platform all raised their spears and faced the sacrificial platform.

The ministers were all shocked, and the king of Huainan changed his face drastically, staring at the shouting person.

The shouting man led a group of soldiers to rush forward, and said in a deep voice: "Don't move, everyone, Xiao Zhang's conspiracy to rebel, chaos and thieves, everyone will be punished." Holding the knife and rushing to the high platform, the blade pointed forward, and it was actually pointed at Xiao Zhang, the king of Huainan.

The ministers were in an uproar, and the king of Huainan was also stunned, almost thinking that there was something wrong with his ears.

At this time, someone realized that "Li Yuanxin" was the captain of the mausoleum guard, responsible for commanding three hundred mausoleum guards, and now there are hundreds of mausoleum guards on the side of the sacrificial platform, either holding spears or short knives, and have surrounded the sacrificial platform.

King Huainan said angrily: "Li Yuanxin, do you want to rebel?" ”

At this time, Qi Ning also understood that the king of Huainan had obviously bought Li Yuanxin before, after all, the mausoleum guards guarded the imperial mausoleum all the year round, and almost no one paid attention to it, and no one would deliberately woo these three hundred people.

But the current situation is obviously an accident, King Huainan wanted the tomb guards to arrest Sima's father and son, but he didn't expect that this Li Yuanxin would actually aim the blade at himself.

Qi Ning also frowned, and his heart was slightly cold.

In fact, he had already guessed that the king of Huainan would be in trouble today, and he must be prepared, and the guards guarding the tomb suddenly attacked, Qi Ning was really not too surprised, but Li Yuanxin pointed the blade at the king of Huainan, which really surprised Qi Ning, and instantly guessed in his heart that Li Yuanxin was only afraid that he had been bought by the Sima family.

The king of Huainan thought that he had a plan, but he fell into the trap laid by Sima Lan, and this Sima Lan had quietly counted the king of Huainan in it, and he was really cunning.

Qi Ning has been on guard against the appearance of the shadow mouse in his heart, the gray crow gave a conclusive clue, the target of the shadow mouse is in the imperial tomb, and it is very likely that he has infiltrated the imperial tomb, he doesn't know whether the group of shadow rats is mixed in the crowd, or hidden somewhere in the imperial tomb, but look at today's situation, the shadow mouse must be responsible for the killing move.

King Huainan reprimanded Li Yuanxin for rebellion, but Li Yuanxin smiled disdainfully and said loudly: "King Huainan, the old prince is loyal and good, and has made great contributions to my Great Chu, you claim to be the concubine of Emperor Taizu, and you have always been dissatisfied with the emperor's accession to the throne and want to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne." Today you are going to frame the old man, trying to get rid of the old man, so that it is convenient to control the government, sinister intentions, although I am a lowly pawn, but I also despise it, how can I be at your mercy, to harm the old man here. The long knife moved, and said sharply: "Your Majesty, Xiao Zhang is plotting to usurp the throne, and his crime should be punished. ”

The ministers were terrified, no one was a fool, everyone saw this scene in front of them, everyone could see that the tomb guards that the King of Huainan relied on had now become a blade that hurt him, and his heart was cold, secretly thinking about the plan of the King of Huainan today, but it was all calculated by Sima Lan, and Sima Lan's methods were so spicy that they were really good.

Under the sun, the blade was cold, and Qi Ning was slightly empty, and the shadow mouse mixed with it would suddenly attack, and he had already moved to Long Tai's side and protected him in front of him.

Long Tai saw it in his eyes, and his heart was moved, and when he saw that King Huainan's face was pale, he frowned and said, "Li Yuanxin, you step back first." ”

Li Yuanxin had no intention of retreating, but took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the heart of the King of Huainan is clearly revealed, and it cannot be taken lightly, and the emperor is also asked to decree that the traitor will be killed." His eyes were full of murderous intent, and the hand holding the knife was even more protruding.

Su Yu was already panicked at this time, and said hurriedly: "Li ..... Li Yuanxin, the emperor ordered you to step down, you ..... Don't you hear, you..... Do you really want to rebel? "He has always been very close to the king of Huainan, if the king of Huainan is really taken down as a chaotic minister and thief today, then the Su family will be implicated next, although Su Yu is terrified, but he also knows that at this time, the king of Huainan must not be beaten into a chaotic thief.

Although Li Yuanxin was only a mere captain, at this time he was full of murderous intent, and said in a deep voice: "Although the villain is lowly, he also knows how to hoe and defend the country, even if he is convicted of this, as long as he can be loyal to Da Chu, he will have no regrets even if he dies." ”

He was righteous and strict, and he looked generous, but everyone understood that if it weren't for someone behind him, Li Yuanxin wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous here, even if he had ten guts.

The corners of King Huainan's eyes twitched, his eyes were like knives, and he sneered: "Okay, Li Yuanxin, you help the abuse, and you want to die, so it's no wonder that this king is the king." He shouted violently: "If you don't do it yet, when will you wait?" ”

As soon as his words fell, Qi Ning heard a burst of movement, just for a moment, he saw a figure floating towards Li Yuanxin, Li Yuanxin obviously also noticed that there was a situation, turned his head to look over, and saw that a figure was approaching in front of him, knowing that something was wrong, he raised his hand and was about to swing the knife, at this moment, the light flashed, and a sharp sword had stabbed Li Yuanxin's throat like a poisonous snake, Li Yuanxin didn't have time to react at all, and the sharp arrow had already penetrated his throat.

This change was very sudden, but the ministers had already seen it at this time, and the figure that suddenly made a move was actually a Taoist priest wearing a gray Taoist robe.

Almost at the same time, more than a dozen Taoist priests surrounding the sacrificial platform had already shot at the same time, jumped on the railing, and several people rushed straight towards Sima's father and son.

Qi Ning instantly understood that the group of shadow rats had indeed sneaked in, but they were all pretending to be Taoist priests from Dragon and Tiger Mountain.

The Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain are all wide robes and big sleeves, and it is not difficult to hide weapons in the wide robes.

These shadow rats moved quickly, made decisive moves, and the three Taoist priests who rushed towards Sima and his son were extremely coordinated, and the tacit understanding was very good, Sima Changshen's face sank, he had already turned around, kicked his feet back, and had kicked Sima Lan's wheelchair away, widening the distance between him and the assassin, but he was already bullying forward, meeting an assassin who pounced, his arm probed, and a palm bypassed the single knife in the assassin's hand, and slapped the assassin's chest.

The speed of his attack was not necessarily fast, and it even gave people a soft feeling, but when the palm touched the assassin's chest, the assassin's whole body was already flying backwards, blood spurting wildly.

Li Yuanxin was killed in an instant, and the guards under his command were stunned for a moment, but they reacted instantly, shouted in unison, and rushed towards the group of Taoist priests with guns and knives.

A group of Taoist priests suddenly made a mess, most of the Taoist priests were frightened, but the shadow mouse pretending to be a Taoist priest was simply neat, some people went directly to deal with Sima's father and son, and some people blocked the guards from rushing over, and the ministers panicked, and shouted one after another: "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor." ”

Qi Ning was beside the emperor, mobilizing internal force, but at this time, he heard a strong wind behind him, and immediately turned back, but saw a figure floating around, as light as a swallow, but holding a chain-like weapon in his hand, Qi Ning was afraid that the emperor would lose, so he stretched out his hand and pulled the little emperor, and turned behind the emperor, and at this moment the chain in the assassin's hand had already attacked directly.

Qi Ning saw clearly that there was a hook-like thing at the top of the chain, glowing with black light, like a scorpion's tail, and his heart sank, secretly wondering if the assassin in front of him was a red scorpion?

The assassin in front of him was dressed in a Taoist robe, his face looked pale, and his appearance was not amazing, but his shot was really sharp, saying that it was too late and that was fast, and in the blink of an eye, the hook had reached Qi Ning's chest, Qi Ning saw that the hook was glowing with black light, and knew that it was coated with poison nine times out of ten, with the help of Tang Nuo, he had already used the cold bead to turn blood, and he was not invaded by poison, and he really had no fear of poison, and his feet slipped, and his body was crooked, just dodging.

It's just that the scorpion hook is like having eyes, Qi Ning dodged it, the assassin's hand trembled slightly, and the scorpion hook followed, hooking towards Qi Ning again.

Qi Ning stepped out, like a ghost, dodged again, the hook hooked again, and was about to shake his hand at this moment, but Qi Ning had already reached out, and he had already grabbed the scorpion hook between the lightning and flint, and for a moment when he grabbed the scorpion hook, the assassin's eyes showed a look of joy, but Qi Ning grabbed the scorpion hook, his eyes were like knives, staring at the assassin.

The two sides of the scorpion hook were pulled, the middle was straight, Qi Ning held the scorpion hook, his hand was cold, the whole scorpion hook was in the sun, shining black, but at this time, he saw that the assassin was holding the scorpion hook and was wearing black gloves on his hand, I don't know what material it was made of, but Qi Ning immediately understood that the person was wearing gloves, which must be for anti-poison.

Sima Changshen shot and injured one person, but the other two assassins were killed by one left and one right, so that they were all single knives, the sword light was magnificent, Sima Changshen's body was dodging, but he was also very agile, and many people saw at this time that this Sima Changshen also had an extremely clever martial arts, and he was not chaotic when he encountered the enemy.

At this time, the king of Huainan had already retreated to the edge of the incense case, standing beside the Lingxu Sect, but Su Yu and Qian Raoshun, the secretary of the criminal department, held their heads and hid under the white marble railing, Yuan Laoshangshu looked shocked, and stood on the ground, as if he couldn't move.

It's just that the target of that group of people at the moment is obviously not the courtiers, and everyone can see that it is aimed at Sima and his son.
