Chapter 69: The Slaughterhouse
There is the altar in front, and it seems that Qi Shanxing and Dou Jiatian's enthronement ceremony stopped at the step of sacrificing to the sky. Bai Muye looked at the chaos in front of him, but calmed down.
According to the general trend of history, they will be destroyed by Li Shimin sooner or later in the future, and it is the right thing to solve the current crisis!
The altar is located in the innermost part of the Wanchun Palace, which is the place where the summer king sacrifices to the sky during the major festival, and this enthronement ceremony is naturally no exception.
Dou Jiatian, who should have been standing on the altar at this moment, was the new king, and he should recite prayers to the sky. But now, his shadow could not be seen on the high altar at all, and from a distance, the other two figures occupied the magpie's nest, which was extremely eye-catching.
One is surprisingly fat, the other is frighteningly tall, the two of them come and go with a sword, and the battle has reached a fever pitch.
It is Qi Shanxing and Liu Heimin!
The two fought and scolded each other, and neither side refused to show weakness.
"Liu Heimin! I saw the wolf ambition of you dog thief! You are trying to usurp the throne while King Xia is away! β
"Fart! I'm King Qin! You are the usurper of the country! β
"King Xia is dying, who are you diligent? Less excuses! β
"King Xia is not here, but the queen is still alive! It makes no sense for you to imprison her in the palace, but you take the initiative to support the new king! β
"Nonsense! Empress Cao is dead, what's wrong with me supporting a new king? I'm so anxious, just to prevent you Liu Heimin from taking advantage of the fire to rob! β
"You dog, in order to exonerate yourself, you can even say like Empress Cao is dead?"
Qi Shanxing's fat body itself is a burden, and he is so tired and out of breath at the moment, he is not paying attention, and Liu Heimin has taken the lead.
The tall and tall Liu Heimin raised his long sword and quickly pressed it against Qi Shanxing's throat.
Qi Shanxing glared, gasping for breath, while defending: "Empress Cao got the plague yesterday, and I am afraid that it will spread in the city, so I asked Xie Hong Xie to send the assassin out of the city to raise ......."
Liu Heimin's face was full of disdain - this was originally Bai Muye's strategy, he couldn't imagine that Qi Shanxing's stupidity was taken seriously, didn't he realize that everything was a scam until this moment?
He looked smug and said lazily: "Don't worry about it, Empress Cao is safe and sound!" β
Qi Shanxing said confidently: "I saw Empress Cao's corpse with my own eyes yesterday, and you still don't believe it?" Assassin Shi Xie Hong took people out of the city, and he was not healed at all, but directly buried alive! Empress Cao was already seriously ill and couldn't live long, so why not set up a new monarch to prevent foreign enemies from taking advantage of the fire to rob him? β
Seeing that he had a nose and eyes as he spoke, Liu Heimin was also confused.
Could it be that Bai Muye lied to me? Or is something wrong in between?
Qi Shanxing was pressed against the throat, and there was a cold sweat on his head, he was really afraid that Liu Heimin would be the result at any time, so he hurriedly continued: "I don't believe you asked the palace maid and eunuch on duty last night, several people have seen it...... That's right! You go to find Empress Cao's personal palace maid! She cried the saddest last night! β
Wanchun Palace is in chaos like this at the moment, where to find any personal palace maids, but Liu Heimin still believes Qi Shanxing's words.
Empress Cao died?
Isn't the Xia Kingdom no longer a person who has no master?
Now that I have killed Qi Shanxing, I have the support of the Turks behind me, who else dares me to fight?
I thought that there was still a big trouble with Empress Cao, and the hundred officials would not sincerely support me, but now, ...... This Zhouzhou, and even the entire Xia Kingdom, are all my Liu Heimin's!
Qi Shanxing saw that his eyes were flickering, thinking that he had shaken King Qin's mind, so he continued to lobby: "General Liu, let the new monarch succeed to the throne, and you and I will assist ...... together."
Before he could finish speaking, he choked back into his stomach.
He only felt a chill in his neck, and it turned out that Liu Heimin's sword loosened forward and stabbed him directly through his throat.
"Qi Servant Shooting, Liu will take over from you and take charge of the entire Xia Kingdom, how about it?"
"It's just that Liu will not be as secretive as you, I will personally take over the throne of King Xia!"
"If you weren't so cowardly, if you didn't talk about the reputation of the three outlines and five constants on the surface, how could I still have a day when Liu Heimin would be in charge?"
"Thank youβ"
After speaking, Liu Heimin laughed arrogantly!
Qi Shanxing's unwilling eyes widened, and he fell to the ground with a bang, staining the altar with blood.
Bai Muye and the others were under the altar, and they couldn't hear what the two people above were talking about at all, and since Liu Heimin had his back to them, Bai Muye couldn't read his lips, so he could only be anxious. Then, I saw Liu Heimin suddenly attack and stab Qi Shanxing to death with a sword!
With a flurry of sucking around him, Bai Muye was in a trance.
Qi Shan Xing...... He's dead?
No way!
Liu Heimin: Didn't you say that you would only come to stop the ceremony?
Qi Shanxing is my target, why did you kill him first?
Besides, Qi Shanxing hasn't surrendered to King Qin yet, how can he just die?
He saw Liu Heimin cut off the head of the dead Qi Shanxing with a sword, and scarlet blood splattered all over the ground. He raised the hideous head of Qi Shanxing and raised it towards the soldiers who were still fighting under the altar!
"Stopβ"
"Liu was ordered to solicit good deeds! Now that the traitor and thief are dead, you will not be caught obediently! β
"If you read that you are all obeying people's orders, you will spare your life! If you don't lay down your arms yet, hurry up and return to General Ben! β
When the Xia Jun below saw Qi Shanxing's head, he lost his backbone when he landed, and when he heard Liu Heimin say this, he hesitantly put down his sword soldiers.
The scene gradually quieted down, and all the soldiers under Qi Shanxing looked depressed.
But for some reason, two Turkic soldiers glanced at each other, and suddenly attacked, and slashed to death a Xia soldier closest to them!
Then, as if triggering some kind of mechanism, all the Turkic soldiers swung their knives and slashed at the Xia soldiers, and the Xia soldiers present were unarmed and immediately became lambs to be slaughtered.
"Runβ"
"We've already laid down our weapons, so why kill us?"
"Liu Heimin! You unbelieving dog-"
In an instant, the huge Wanchun Palace became a slaughterhouse, the morale of the army had long been dissipated, and the eyes of every soldier of the Xia Kingdom were full of despair. They scurried around, and even if they tried to resist and picked up their swords, they were immediately hacked to death by the ensuing swords.
These Turkic soldiers are like crazy demons, and they will cut people when they see them! Even some innocent palace people who didn't have time to escape were killed by them!
Bai Muye twisted his eyebrows and looked at Liu Heimin, who was on the high platform, his hand holding Qi Shanxing's head had already hung down, and his expression changed from arrogant to dazed. He raised the long knife slightly several times and put it down again, obviously caught off guard by this situation!
"Get out of here!"
Bai Muye saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly beckoned the few people he brought to withdraw. Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, he bumped into Xie Hong, who was slightly embarrassed.
He didn't know where his head had gone, a few strands of hair were wet and sticking to his face, and there were even two bruises on his cheeks.
