Chapter 41: Killing

"Haha, haha!" Li Jing let out a long series of laughter, he felt that Zeng Yiling's words were very ridiculous, and tears of laughter flowed out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zeng Yiling looked at him coldly and did not speak.

Li Jing stood up slowly, his body shook a little, he looked at Zeng Yiling fixedly, still holding his sixth son in his hand, with anger in his mouth, and said: "When Xu Wen killed the eldest son of Emperor Wu, how should this account be calculated?" ”

"So the Xu family has paid a painful price, and today, the Li family also has to pay the price, he is just the beginning." Zeng Yiling pointed at Li Congjia with her finger, looking very calm, it seemed that she had expected such a day, so when this day happened, she was very calm.

Li Jing laughed again, Zeng Yiling pointed a dagger at him, and said, "I won't let you die so easily." ”

"What do you want?" Li Jing's lips trembled for a while, the most poisonous woman's heart, what did she want to do with herself? The thought of dying at the hands of a woman made Li Jing feel extremely sad in his heart.

"One knife at a time, cut your skin, a thousand cuts." Zeng Yiling said, the language was so vicious, but the tone was very relaxed, and there was a smile on his face.

Li Jing sipped and said, "Son of Heaven, naturally there is a way for the Son of Heaven to die, if you are like this, are you not afraid of heaven condemning crimes?" ”

Zeng Yiling laughed and said, "If you talk about blame, for so many years, I have trembled, and it has long been the most torturous punishment. If Heaven sends a sin, what sin could be more tormenting than this? ”

Li Jing sighed and said, "You haven't answered my question just now, Yang Lian, is he the old prince of the previous dynasty?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the door behind her was pushed open, first Queen Zhong appeared, only to see her full of tears, when she saw Li Congjia in her husband's hand, she was even more stunned, a pair of phoenix eyes were round, and suddenly pounced, and said: "Son, wake up, wake up, wake up!" ”

Subsequently, Li Hongji appeared with a few guards, Li Hongji was also very helpless, the queen mother suddenly came, she knew what happened, so she questioned Li Hongji. For the queen mother, Li Hongji has deep feelings, and he is at a loss for a while, and he doesn't know what to do.

However, Queen Zhong's eyes were vicious, and she saw another mystery behind the imperial study at a glance, so she hurried over. Li Hongji had no choice but to lead people to catch up.

"King Yan, what are you doing here? Is the throne so attractive to you? Look, he's your sixth brother, and now, dead! He's dead! Empress Zhong cried loudly as she cried, her fingers caressing Li Congjia's face.

Li Congjia's cheeks were full of blood, Queen Zhong touched it, and her white fingers were soon covered with blood, she didn't care, she touched her son's cheek for a while, she looked at Zeng Yiling with an indifferent face, squinted her eyes and looked at it for a while.

"Is that you?" Empress Zhong gritted her teeth.

"Yes, it's me." Zeng Yiling replied.

Empress Zhong suddenly snatched a long knife from the waist of the guard behind her and pounced towards Zeng Yiling. But where is she Zeng Yiling's opponent? Zeng Yiling was on the side of her body, and the dagger in her hand quickly stabbed out, hitting Queen Zhong's neck, and then, the dagger stabbed forward, and the long knife in Queen Zhong's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Li Hongji reacted at this time, his face changed greatly, and he shouted: "You dare to kill my mother? As he spoke, Li Hongji was about to step forward and pounce.

Chen Keyan was behind him and hurriedly shouted, "King Yan! As he spoke, he grabbed him.

"What, you're going to stop me?" Li Hongji was pulled by him and stumbled, almost fell, turned around, and stared at Chen Keyan.

Chen Keyan still didn't let go of his hand, just nodded at him, as if he had a deep meaning.

Li Hongji's breathing became short, and he glanced back at his mother, and saw that she had fallen in a pool of blood, and occasionally moved a few times, Zeng Yiling's methods were too vicious, and it could be described as a fatal move, leaving no trace at all. He suddenly understood what Chen Keyan meant. But what is the difference between such an act and killing her with your own hands?

Li Hongji hesitated for a moment, there was more and more blood on the ground, and when he turned around, Li Jing took a few steps forward, hugged her, and cried bitterly.

"You!" Li Hongji shouted, with a fierce intent in his eyes.

"Isn't that exactly what you want? You don't have to do it, you don't have to bear the charge of killing the king and killing your mother, so that you can ascend to the throne with dignity. Zeng Yiling laughed.

Li Hongji was stunned, he had thought so in his heart, at least on his father's side, he thought so, but he still wanted to keep his mother's life, but now the development of things has exceeded his imagination, and there are too many people who have died.

Zeng Yiling looked at him coldly, raised the dagger again, and said, "There is another most important person, do you want to kill him?" ”

Li Hongji's face turned red, he was silent for a long time, suddenly stepped forward, pushed Li Jing away, picked up Empress Zhong's body, and then left quickly.

"No!" Li Jing fled quickly.

Zeng Yiling walked out unhurriedly, there was a strong smell of blood in this room, which was really uncomfortable. Zeng Yiling chased out of the secret room, in the imperial study, Li Jingda, the king of Hubei, was watching all this dumbfounded, the reason why he took refuge in King Yan was that he suddenly found that the situation was very favorable to Li Hongji, so he chose to take refuge.

Li Jingda felt that in this case, King Yan would definitely kill the king, but he couldn't imagine that His Majesty still came out of the secret room, could it be that King Yan couldn't bear it? But if King Yan can't bear it, even if he ascends the throne as the emperor, will his life be better in the future? Li Jingda hesitated, and at this time, Zeng Yiling also rushed out.

At this time, the situation was very delicate, Li Jingda swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he really didn't know what to say. Li Hongji held the body of the queen mother, looking at the blood gushing out, he could even feel that the body temperature of the queen mother was dropping.

"Are you satisfied? Is this the result you want? Li Jing was very angry and scolded loudly, and his voice echoed in the imperial study.

Li Hongji smiled bitterly, what else could he do?

Li Jingda pursed his chapped lips, not knowing what to do for a while.

At this moment, hurried and chaotic footsteps sounded, and a man broke in in a hurry, and behind him, more than a dozen henchmen and soldiers.

"King Yan, something is wrong." The person who came was Chen Dongshen, and he looked anxious.

Li Hongji raised his head, looked at him with scattered eyes, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"King Yan, Zhou Ye suddenly rebelled and killed his younger brother, and Zhu Lingyun was also killed." Chen Dongshen said.

Li Hongji stood up abruptly when he heard this, walked quickly in front of Chen Dongshen, grabbed him, and said, "What did you say?" ”

"Yan Wang ......" Chen Dongshen reiterated again, and he could feel the anger in Li Hongji's heart being ignited at this moment.

"Dog thief, eat inside and out!" Li Hongji shouted angrily.

Chen Dongshen stammered: "King Yan, what should I do now?" ”

Li Hongji glanced back at Zeng Yiling, suddenly pulled out his long knife, walked over step by step, and asked, "You must know what's going on, right?" ”

"What do you want to know?" Zeng Yiling asked.

"Zhou Ye, is he your person?" Li Hongji asked.

Zeng Yiling was secretly wary, laughed, and said, "It seems that you are not very stupid. ”

Li Hongji suddenly realized that if Zhou Ye was really their person, then what about Yang Lian, wasn't he already dead? Why does Zhou Ye still play for him? If not, who is the main messenger behind the scenes?

Without waiting for him to understand, Chen Keyan hurriedly walked in and said, "King Yan, there are a large number of soldiers rushing towards this side!" ”

"Who is it?" Li Hongji hurriedly asked.

"Look at their costumes, they're not the Praetorian Guards." Chen Keyan replied.

Li Hongji hesitated slightly, glanced at Zeng Yiling hatefully, and ordered Chen Keyan to monitor her, and he rushed out of the imperial study with Chen Dongshen and others. In the palace city, there was already chaos at this time, and the palace maids and eunuchs carried small bags containing gold and silver, and they cried and shouted to find their way to escape.

After Li Hongji led the troops out, because he did not understand the situation, he had to send people to guard the key pass first, and at the same time let people investigate what happened. Soon, news came that after Zhou Ye killed Zhu Lingyun, he opened the city gate, and Fu Yanqing, Qian Wenfeng's father and son, as well as Liu Yanzhen's department, and the generals of the palace of King Wu of Qi poured into the city.

This made Li Hongji a little surprised, although these people have some relationships, how can they join forces? Especially Fu Yanqing, since he arrived in Jinling, he has been very low-key, often closed, and has a very sparse relationship with Jinling's dignitaries. The same is true for Qian Wenfeng, and the most important thing is that Qian Wenfeng also said that he supported him some time ago, but now it seems that he is mixed with the generals of the Qi Wangfu and the Wuhou Mansion, and he is obviously not here to help him.

"How many of them are there?" Li Hongji asked.

Soon the soldiers counted the approximate number of soldiers, and there were about 300 soldiers and horses in this group of improvised soldiers. This number is not large, and Li Hongji quickly made arrangements and ordered Chen Dongshen to lead his troops to block the attack. Chen Dongshen took the order and left. Li Hongji stared at his departing back, feeling a little bad in his heart.

The key is Zhou Ye's betrayal, which makes him feel very uneasy. Zhou Ye was an important person in the assassination of Yang Lian, and even he betrayed, so is Yang Lian really dead? Again, what about Guo Rong? After ambushing Yang Lian, there has been no news of him.

Li Hongji hurried back, he needed to master a hostage with enough weight to save his life. Since Zhou Ye killed Zhou Hongzuo, the father and daughter of the King of Qi he guarded must be safe and sound, so he can only survive if he controls his father.

In the imperial study, the atmosphere was very dull, and the smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger, which made people very suffocating.

Chen Keyan looked at Li Jing unhurriedly and did not speak.

Li Jing sat on the ground, surrounded by Gao Ze, who was stained with blood.

Zeng Yiling kept looking at Li Jing and wanted to kill him, but there were several crossbowmen who kept holding bows and crossbows, and if Zeng Yiling made a move, ten thousand arrows would be fired at once, killing Zeng Yiling. Zeng Yiling knew that things were still under control, so she was not in a hurry.

Li Hongji raised his head, looked at him with scattered eyes, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"King Yan, Zhou Ye suddenly rebelled and killed his younger brother, and Zhu Lingyun was also killed." Chen Dongshen said.

Li Hongji stood up abruptly when he heard this, walked quickly in front of Chen Dongshen, grabbed him, and said, "What did you say?" ”

Chen Keyan looked at Li Jing unhurriedly and did not speak.
