Chapter 389: Assassin Kills
Pi Lou walked out of the tent and disappeared into the night, Zhao Junsheng came out of the shadows and saw his back in the distance, he slowly withdrew his gaze and moved to the tent.
The oil lamp in the tent illuminated Tuobatao's figure on the tent wall, and the shadow walked around the tent with a sword in hand.
Zhao Junsheng stared at this shadow with murderous intent, he knew very well that it had become inevitable for Tuoba Tao to kill him, if Tuoba Tao had an army in his hand that could be commanded at this time, he would have attacked him a long time ago, even if there were only a few thousand people, this person would have the courage to do it.
What Zhao Junsheng is worried about is that if he kills Tuoba Tao, what will be the situation in this world? Will the Rouran people be difficult to control? Will the Northern Wei Dynasty be in chaos in the world? Will the course of history change completely?
Zhao Junsheng suddenly was in a trance, I don't know how long it took, he came back to his senses, and scolded himself in his heart: Fuck, are you so confused, what are you doing so much? People want to rob your woman, rob a Wan Yutong, and want to snatch Mulan again, and kill you! Your damn is still here worrying about the country and the people, and your brain is sick!
Zhao Junsheng's heart was crossed, and he didn't care about anything else, "What's the matter, this world is chaotic and doesn't mess with Lao Tzu, whoever wants to rob Mulan with Lao Tzu, whoever wants to kill Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will kill him first, even if he is the emperor!"
Zhao Junsheng's eyes gradually became firmer, the killing intent re-condensed, his right hand was slowly raised, and in an instant, two embroidery needles shot into the necks of the two internal guards at the door of the handsome tent like lightning.
His embroidery needle, a secret weapon, had perfected the fire, and he strode over, passing directly in front of the two Ouchi guards and approaching the handsome tent, who seemed to be unaware of it, standing motionless.
Tuoba Tao felt that there was suddenly one more person in the tent, turned around and looked, and saw that it was Zhao Junsheng, and immediately asked with a smile: "Why did Qing come so quickly?" What about Pyloquin? ”
Zhao Junsheng didn't answer, he deceived himself like a ghost, Tuoba Tao was shocked, and was about to open his mouth to shout for escort, but Zhao Junsheng didn't give him a chance, and with a "sonorous" sound, the war knife was unsheathed.
A black shadow instantly blocked in front of Tuoba Tao, Zhao Junsheng was unstoppable, God blocked and killed God, Buddha blocked and killed Buddha!
A cold light flashed, and the secret guard in front of Tuoba Tao was split in half, and the sword on Tuoba Tao's waist was only half drawn, and the arm that drew the sword was cut off.
Tuoba Tao opened his mouth in pain and was about to scream, but before he could scream, his eyes straightened, and he gradually lost his lustre, blood suddenly splattered from his neck, and his head slipped off.
Zhao Junsheng flexibly tore off the cloak on the corpse to catch the head that had not yet landed, wrapped the cloak, turned around and left with the head, and Tuoba Tao's headless corpse fell to the ground with a pop at this time.
Zhao Junsheng rushed all the way down the mountain, and returned to the camp by ghostly means avoiding several checkpoints along the way, he dug a pit in a no-man's land, buried his head, filled in the soil and then leveled it, and then slowly returned to the tooth tent.
After sitting on Mazha for a while and drinking a few sips of water, Zhao Junsheng's mood gradually calmed down, after all, it is not a trivial matter for the assassin king to kill the driver, and no one can still act like a person who is okay after doing this.
At this time, the voice of the soldiers came from outside the tent: "Du Tong, the first commander of Pi Lou is here!" ”
Zhao Junsheng collected some emotions, rubbed his face and got up and walked out of the tent, "Commander Pi Lou, but His Majesty has summoned?" ”
"Exactly, please General Zhao and this commander go, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time!"
"Commander Lao Pilou has personally made a trip, please!"
The two soon went up the mountain together and came to the tent, and Pi Lou first said to the Ouchi guard on the left: "Go and report to Your Majesty, just say that General Zhao has arrived, and wait for Your Majesty to summon you!" ”
The guards standing guard were unresponsive.
Piloujin was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the guard's eyes, but the guard still did not react, and with a push of his hand, the guard fell backwards and fell to the ground with a thud.
Pylo was shocked, and immediately walked up to the guard on the right and pushed it, and fell to the ground with the same thud.
His face changed drastically, and he immediately ran into the tent, Zhao Junsheng stood at the door and didn't enter, and soon there was a loud cry from Pi Loujin in the tent: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty······ Someone, someone, Your Majesty has died! ”
Zhao Junsheng walked in when he heard the shout, walked in front of the headless corpses of the secret guard and Tuoba Tao who were split in half, and exclaimed, "What's going on? Commander Pilou, why is this happening? Didn't you say that Your Majesty would come to see you at the end of the edict? Your Majesty is ······?"
Pyrugin cried: "I ······ I don't know, Your Majesty was fine before I was ordered to find you, and it was less than a cup of tea······"
The cry of Pyrugin called the surrounding guards and ministers, and the news spread quickly, and all the ministers and generals on the mountain rushed over, and the whole tent was crowded.
The ministers and guards were all mourned, as if the sky had fallen.
Under the questioning of Cui Hao, Kou Qianzhi and Tuobana, Pi Lou first recounted the incident in detail again.
There is no doubt that the emperor was assassinated, and even the head was taken.
Who has the ability and motivation to assassinate the emperor here and now?
The ministers were not even willing to think inwardly about the identity of the Assassins, and agreed that the Assassins were sent by the Rouran, and that the Rouran had a tradition of using the heads of enemy chieftains as drinking vessels.
The ministers cried in the tent, and Zhao Junsheng quietly retreated back to the camp at the foot of the mountain and instructed Li Bao: "Go and call the eagle envoy!" ”
"Yes!"
A pro-soldier quickly walked in and clenched his fists: "What does the general command?" ”
"Send a message to Cao Jiao Feiying, and ask him to tell King Yongchang the news that the emperor was stabbed to death, and ask King Yongchang to come as quickly as possible!"
"Yes!" The eagle envoy turned and walked out of the tent, and it wasn't long before an eagle flew into the night sky toward the east.
When Zhao Junsheng returned to the tent on the mountain, the ministers were noisy in the tent.
King Tuobana of Gaochang said loudly: "This matter is full of strangeness, the assassin came to assassinate His Majesty, and he was able to do it silently, without alarming any guards, this is almost impossible, the defense of the mountain and the mountain is deployed by the king himself, and no one by the king himself can sneak to the mountain to assassinate without alarming the guards, the assassin must be an internal person!" ”
Taishi made Zhang Yuan so anxious that he wanted to jump to his feet: "I said King Gaochang, it's all at this juncture, why can't you change your suspicious problem?" Do you have to make our internal people panic, and you have to make the ministers, colleagues, lieutenant generals and colonels suspicious of each other? ”
Tuobana scanned everyone's faces with a suspicious gaze, "This king is just judging things by facts!" ”
Cui Hao stood up and said: "King Gaochang, this is not the time to suspect anyone, no matter who you suspect, you should doubt yourself first, all the guards on and off the mountain are arranged by you, should we suspect that you put the assassin on the mountain?" ”
"You ······"
The champion general An Jie immediately played a round: "The prince is angry, the last general thinks that Cui Taichang is not suspicious of you, if it is usual, it is just that, we are in Mobei now, we can't mess up internally, we can't give Rouran people a chance, even if you have a suspicion, please don't say it yet!" The two most important questions before us today: First, the country cannot be left without a king for a day, who should be appointed as the emperor? Second, now that the emperor has been assassinated, the crusade against the Rouran people cannot be carried out, and all soldiers and horses should be recalled immediately. Also, does the King of Yongchang of the Eastern Route Army want to send someone to inform ······?"
As soon as these two questions were raised, everyone was silent, and the stakes were so high that no one dared to speak easily, especially when it came to the question of the person who would succeed them.
There was no sound in the tent, and when Dazai Tsuneei saw this, he said: "Colleagues, we can't do it if we don't speak, the issue of succession to the throne is unavoidable!" The sooner the prince is appointed, the sooner the world will settle down, and try not to give the surrounding enemy countries a chance! ”
After his words fell, Taishi Ling Zhang Yuan immediately said: "Okay, since this issue is on the table, this official will talk about his thoughts!" Your Majesty now has two princesses and a prince, the prince Huang is less than a year old, too young to deal with national affairs, the official thinks that the heir to the throne should be chosen from His Majesty's brothers, King Leping is heroic and mighty, shrewd and capable, even Emperor Taizong values him very much, if King Leping ascends the throne as the emperor, it should be the blessing of my Great Wei! ”
Yijue stood up and objected: "No, the Murong clan of the Leping royal mother clan is too powerful, if King Leping is allowed to ascend the throne as the emperor, it will not only be a blessing for my Great Wei, but a disaster!" The official thinks that King Le'an is the most suitable, and King Le'an is in Mobei, just send someone to hurry over to inform him, and King Le'an can quickly rush back to the throne! ”
Gaochang Wang Tuoba sneered: "What is your reason for this? According to what you say, King Le'an is not suitable, his mother Mrs. Murong is the princess of Beiyan, if King Le'an is allowed to ascend the throne, I am afraid that it will be even more unfavorable to my Great Wei! ”
Zhao Junsheng saw that these ministers were arguing, he felt the need to stand up and show his existence, you must know that the only more than 3,000 people here are under his command, if he gives an order, these princes and ministers will have to fall to the ground.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are here to discuss who will inherit the throne, but the candidates for discussion are not here, do you know if they are willing to ascend the throne and take the lead?"
"Besides, all of you and the others add up to don't represent the imperial court, there are still a large group of ministers and ministers in Pingcheng, if you and others agree on who to recommend to inherit the unification, what if the ministers in Pingcheng are not willing to be the ministers?"
Zhao Junsheng's official position is not high, and he has just been named General Longxiang, but he has 3,000 elite horsemen under him, and he is the only armed force in this Huangyan Mountain.
Even the unruly clan prince like Tuoba is not going to offend Zhao Junsheng too much at this moment.
Among the ministers present, only Kou Qianzhi had a slightly better relationship with him, and Kou Qianzhi asked: "What about the general's opinion?" ”
