Chapter 761: Murder with a Knife (I)
The White Lotus Sect assassins inside naturally couldn't be frightened by Bai Rail's bluffing words, and the person in charge immediately shouted inside: "You all give me a step back, whoever dares to step forward and try to come in, be careful that we will hurt Prince Jing with a tremor on our hands."

After a pause, he said in a loud voice: "Also, come and talk to someone who can call the shots, don't mention those useless ones to me, do what I want, otherwise we will also kill King Jing." When he said this, he also put the knife on King Jing's neck a little harder, and whispered: "You come ......."
At this time, King Jing was already so frightened that he was not possessed, and he only shivered under the control of that person, and he didn't dare to disobey when he told him, and after the knife on his neck was a little far away, he raised his voice as much as possible and shouted: "Bai Changshi, can Bai Changshi be outside?" ”
"The minister is here......" Hearing King Jing call himself, Bai Liang didn't dare to refuse, and then took the risk to come to the palace gate and said, "Please also ask the prince to command." ”
"You...... Do as he wills, or Lone's life will not be saved. King Jing said helplessly. He is just a powerless vassal king, who has never been out of the fiefdom of Dalian since he was a child, and what knowledge can he have, let alone what storms he has experienced, so tonight's change really scared him, so he could only listen to the other party's arrangement to speak.
Bai Rail, as the chief of the palace, is also a talented person who has been scientifically examined, coupled with the experience over the years, he is much stronger than King Jing in terms of mind and judgment. However, after all, he was just a courtier, and when the prince was held hostage, he naturally did not dare to gamble with the other party's life, even if he knew that those assassins could not listen to the words, he could only agree: "The minister obeys." ”
When the White Lotus Sect inside heard this, they were overjoyed, and the person at the head glanced at King Jing under their control, and showed a smug smile, and then spoke again: "It's best that you can be the master and think like this." Now, you withdraw everyone and get out of the way to let us leave the palace, as long as we leave this place, we will ensure the safety of King Jing. As he said this, the corners of his mouth turned upward, and a sinister smile filled him.
"No!" White Rail immediately vetoed this request. He is not a fool, how can he not know what the result will be if he does what the other party says. In that case, not only will the safety of the prince not be guaranteed, but these murderers will also escape, which is not acceptable to them.
"Now Lao Tzu is not discussing with you, but ordering, my words are the words of King Jing, if you refuse to agree, King Jing is dead, the responsibility lies with you, it was you who killed him!" The people inside continued to put pressure on Bai Rail, which was not only said to Bai Rail, but also to the other guards outside, which would make the palace guards outside also feel jealous.
Sure enough, after hearing him say this, Bai Rail immediately hesitated. Although he knew that once the other party got out, it would only be more unfavorable to the prince, but in the current situation, he seemed to have only one way to follow his wishes.
"Why, won't you say yes? Do you want your prince to give you an order in person? As he spoke, he looked at King Jing again and motioned for him to give an order according to his own wishes.
Although King Jing has never seen much of the world, he is not stupid, and naturally understands what kind of situation he will encounter once they hold him hostage and leave the palace, so this time he also hesitated, and did not immediately speak according to the other party's wishes. But the White Lotus Sect thief didn't have the patience, and when he saw him hesitate so much, he immediately strangled him with a blade on his delicate neck, and suddenly, a wisp of blood flowed out with a tingling pain, which made King Jing's entire body tremble violently again, and he even fell to the ground softly.
As a vassal king of the imperial court, King Jing has never suffered such hardships. Driven by fear and pain, even though he knew that saying this was just to quench his thirst, he had no choice but to speak: "Bai Changshi, do you really want to see this king die here?" ”
"Minister......" Bai Liang stood there very entangled, and couldn't make up his mind for a while.
At the same time, the surrounding palace guards and subordinates stood there nervously one by one, even if they had the heart to save the prince, under such circumstances, they did not dare to take any action, they could only look at the dormitory helplessly, waiting for the final result.
Among all of them, Zhou Jiao, the commander of the royal guards, was the most nervous and anxious. As the leader of the security guards of the entire palace, it is a great dereliction of duty to let these thieves break in, and if the prince really has any mistakes in the future, let alone his head, even the lives of his whole family may have to be buried by the prince!
Although Zhou Jiao had the intention to hold these thieves to atone for his crimes, he was the most powerless one at this time, so he could only stand there anxiously, watching the situation become serious step by step, or worsen......
"General Zhou." At this time, Zhou Jiao, who was spontaneously stunned, heard a greeting from beside him, which made him come back to his senses slightly, and turned his head to see that it was Yang Zhen, the brocade guard who had been staying in the palace for a long time.
Although he was extremely restless at this moment, he still didn't dare to offend Yang Zhen, so he nodded and said, "I don't know what Lord Yang has to say?" ”
"The current situation is quite bad, if it drags on like this, it will not only be a good thing for you, the general, but also for the entire Jingwang Mansion. I'm afraid that the other yamen in the city will soon arrive, and we must rescue the prince before they arrive. Yang Zhen said with a serious expression.
"Rescue the prince...... How easy is that? Zhou Jiao smiled bitterly, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that they will not even be able to keep these assassins, let alone rescue the prince.
"Do you really believe their nonsense, General Zhou? I dare to guarantee that once they leave, I am afraid that there will be only one fate for the prince! Yang Zhen said with a solemn expression.
Zhou Ji was silent, in fact, he knew this, but no matter who it was, he didn't dare to bet on the safety of the prince because of this.
"At this time, there is only one way that may be able to keep the prince safe, and that is to take advantage of their attention to the front, and my people attack from behind." Yang Zhen's eyes stared at Zhou Jie's face: "General Zhou, do you think there is another more secure way now?" ”
"I'm ......" Zhou Jiao opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
"General Zhou, are there any other portals or passages to enter this dormitory?" Seeing that the other party was so hesitant, Yang Zhen simply didn't ask for his opinion, but asked him such a question directly.
"I don't know this, only the chamberlain here in the dormitory knows." As he spoke, he pointed to a yellow door not far away who was standing there in a daze with a frightened face: "That person should know about other portals...... It wasn't until he said that he realized that he had made a choice at this moment.
Yang Zhen nodded, and said to Zhou Jiao again: "General Zhou, before my people go in, I hope you will delay a little longer outside and try to attract their attention, please!" As soon as he spoke, he walked towards the yellow door.
At this time, the white track in front of the palace gate was already a little unbearable, after all, he was just a courtier, in front of the prince's safety, in front of the prince's order, how could he withstand the pressure?
"Everyone step back ......" Finally, Bai Changshi gave this order that he was most unwilling to do.
All the White Lotus Sect disciples inside the door showed smug smiles, although today's action was full of variables and twists and turns, but the final result was completely under their control. It was still dark now, and as long as they left the palace, they would have a way to get rid of the pursuit of these palace guards with limited abilities.
But at this time, the accident appeared again, and only one person said loudly outside: "Bai Changshi, we can't fall for their schemes, once they really let them go, they will only be unfavorable to the prince......"
"General Zhou, why don't you do what you want?" Bai Liang didn't expect that Zhou Jiao, a guy who has always been low-key, would come to such a hand at this time. But obviously, because those guards were his subordinates, after hearing his words, everyone did not retreat according to Bai Liang's intentions, and still hesitantly gathered outside the door, holding weapons to the door.
"What? Do you really want to see your prince die here? As soon as they saw their sudden change of hexagram, those White Lotus Sect disciples were immediately annoyed, and the person at the head pushed King Jing to the door again, signaling him to hurry up and give an order.
King Jing hesitated slightly, but still said in a trembling voice: "General Zhou, hurry up and lead people to withdraw according to Bai Changshi's wishes, do you really want to kill the Lone King?" ”
"The prince forgives the sin, the minister just didn't want the prince to have something to do, so he disobeyed the prince's order!" Zhou Jiao also let go of his hands and feet at this time, even though he was a little stunned in his heart, he responded loudly: "Only here, in front of our eyes, do they dare not hurt you, Lord Wang." But once you leave this place, it's different. ”
"Huh?" Bai Liang glanced at Zhou Jiao in some surprise, when did this guy have such courage to dare to speak like this?
The head of the White Lotus Sect inside the door laughed angrily when he heard this: "It seems that I don't give you some color, you don't know that we are powerful." As he spoke, his wrist shook suddenly, and another blood mark was drawn against King Jing's neck, and then he said sharply: "Listen to me, these few of us are just a few cheap lives, even if they die, as long as they can pull King Jing, it will be worth it." Don't try to delay any longer, we'll break up in half! ”
His words were accompanied by a miserable scream from King Jing, which suddenly made the faces of everyone outside change again, this time, even Zhou Jiao didn't dare to answer, and the courage he had finally mustered up poured out again.
And the few White Lotus Sect disciples in the palace also showed smug expressions at this moment, knowing that soon, they would be able to go out.
When everyone turned their attention to the door, they didn't realize that behind them, a secret door had quietly opened......
