Chapter 539: The Last Struggle

Chapter 539 The Final Struggle Gao Changgong nodded lightly and did not speak.

Liu Zhong didn't care, cleaned up his mood slightly, and then said: "Lord Wang, it's all because Liu is negligent in discipline, so that his nephew Zhang Mingkang can develop a proud and arrogant stubborn temperament, and he even collided with the little prince a few months ago. Liu came here to ask the prince for his guilt, and hoped that the prince could raise his noble hand for the sake of Kang'er's young and ignorant! ”

"Chapter name?" Gao Changgong frowned when he heard this, and said with some doubts: "Is there such a thing? But this king did not know it. ”

Liu Zhong also pretended not to know when Gao Changgong didn't know, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hidden displeasure in his heart, but the smile on his face did not decrease by half, and said sincerely: "Lord Wang, although Kang'er is a little stubborn, but his nature is not bad, Liu can guarantee that he will be strictly disciplined after he goes back, and he will not let him make trouble for no reason, and I hope that the prince will forgive the rudeness of the ignorant juniors in the face of the Lunatic Worship Sect, and the Lunatic Worship Sect is grateful." ”

As he spoke, Liu Zhong clasped his fists and saluted Gao Changgong. His words were polite, but they were not respectful or fearful.

Gao Changgong frowned, there was a faint suspicion between Liu Zhong's words, how could he not hear the dissatisfaction, his humble and gentle temper, and he was slightly uncomfortable with Liu Zhong's arrogance, but his self-cultivation was excellent, he was not angry, and still said gently: "Your Excellency, this king doesn't need to lie to you, this king really doesn't know about this." ”

"This-" Liu Zhong suddenly furrowed his brows, and his expression was still a little unbelieving.

Gao Changgong raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked sideways at Ling Xiaoyun, who understood, and hurriedly approached Gao Changgong and said softly: "Lord Wang, last year, Zhang Mingkang once assassinated the little prince, but was seriously injured and captured by the little prince, and now he is imprisoned in the prison in the mansion. ”

"Is that so?" Gao Changgong's brows suddenly tightened a little more, his face became gloomy in an instant, his eyes looked at Liu Zhong with majestic eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Liu Zhong, your grandson is so bold, he dares to commit a crime and assassinate a member of the imperial court, is it really a bully for this king?" ”

Gao Changgong's tone was not high, and his tone was very peaceful, but everyone felt that their hearts suddenly tightened, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to become stiff and suppressed in an instant.

Originally, looking at the generous gifts brought by Liu Zhong and the huge power of the Lunatic Cult, although Gao Changgong didn't like Liu Zhong, he was polite, but now that he heard that the Lunatic Cult had assassinated his only son, Gao Changgong was immediately furious.

You must know that although Gao Changgong is a prince and powerful, no one in the Gao royal family, brothers and uncles really treats him as a relative, only the Zheng family and Gao are the closest people to him, how can he allow someone to hurt his relatives?

Residence and movement, raising and moving qi, Gao Changgong has been on the battlefield for more than ten years, with hundreds of thousands of male soldiers under his command, and he has his own majestic kingly spirit, although his martial arts are not as good as Liu Zhong, but the awe-inspiring and inviolable momentum on his body made Liu Zhong's face stiff, and his heart was slightly cold.

"Hehe", Liu Zhong laughed dryly, trying to ease the somewhat stiff and awkward atmosphere. You have assassinated someone else's beloved son, how can you expect others to have a kind attitude? This matter has been dealt with by himself, and Liu Zhong's confidence has been weakened a little.

After a pause, Liu Zhong said with a smile on his face: "Lord Wang, my Moon Worship Sect does not mean to be enemies with the Lord and the Little Prince, Zhang Ming is young and knowledgeable, but he was instigated by the traitor to act so recklessly, fortunately, it was not a big mistake, he was also heavily punished, can the Lord raise his noble hand and let him live." The kindness of the prince, in the next inscription, I will repay the Moon Worship Sect in the future! ”

As he spoke, Liu Zhong stood up and respectfully saluted Gao Chang. Whether it is the salutation, or the demeanor, it is much more sincere and humble than Fang Cai.

"Humph!" Gao Changgong snorted coldly, looked at Liu Zhong indifferently and said: "Your Excellency doesn't need to say anything, since people are captured by children, he decides how to deal with freedom, and this king doesn't want to interfere." After a pause, Gao Changgong waved his hand and said, "This king still has important matters, and he is out of company." Xiao Yun, send off! ”

With that, Gao Changgong stood up and wanted to walk to the back hall. His attitude is very clear, that is, he will not let people go.

"Lord Wang, please stay!" Liu Zhong hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

Gao Changgong stopped and said without looking back: "What, is there anything else with Your Excellency?" ”

Gao Changgong's arrogant and indifferent attitude made Liu Zhong very angry, but he didn't dare to be angry at this time, not to mention that there were thousands of elite soldiers in this palace, and the masters were like clouds, even if Liu Zhong killed Gao Changgong, he didn't have the confidence to retreat, and killing Gao Changgong could only be a complete break with Xingxing, which not only violated the original intention, but also caused a crazy counterattack by hundreds of thousands of Xingxing's army, and the consequences were unimaginable.

Taking a deep breath and forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Liu Zhong arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, although my Moon Worship Sect is a sect of the rivers and lakes, it still has some influence in the north, if the prince does not give up, I am willing to help the prince and dominate the rivers and mountains!" ”

Gao Changgong was silent for a long time, and his calm and gentle voice sounded again: "Your Excellency's meaning is known to this king, if you want to have a good name, go and find my son happy." Walk slowly, don't send! With that, Gao Changgong walked towards the back hall without the slightest hesitation.

Liu Zhong wanted to say something more, but Ling Xiaoyun had already taken a step forward and said lightly: "Mr. Liu, please!" ”

Looking at the back of Gao Changgong, who disappeared behind the screen accompanied by Lu Hanyue, his eyes flickered and stared at Ling Xiaoyun in front of him with a serious and indifferent face, Liu Zhong's fists in his sleeves tightened, and his body couldn't help but exude a trace of murderous aura.

Feeling the compelling aura on Liu Zhong's body, Ling Xiaoyun was like a thorn in his back, as if he was being targeted by a cobra, and his breathing couldn't help but stagnate slightly, but he used the true qi in his body, forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Mr. Liu, the special envoys of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Heavenly Fairy and Poppy, have arrived in Qingzhou three days ago. ”

Liu Zhong was stunned for a moment, looked at Ling Xiaoyun with some surprise, and was about to open his mouth to ask, but the latter spoke again: "Mr. Liu, please!" ”

Liu Zhong glanced at Ling Xiaoyun deeply, and suddenly asked, "What is your relationship with the Heavenly Dao Sect?" ”

Ling Xiaoyun's face changed suddenly, but he quickly regained his composure, and quietly looked at Liu Zhongdao: "I have nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao Sect, why did Mr. Liu say this?" ”

"Oh?" The light in Liu Zhong's eyes flashed a few times, and he nodded lightly and said, "Please tell the little prince that he is happy, and the old man will visit him another day and say goodbye!" With that, Liu Zhong waved his sleeves and strode towards the outside of the living room.

"Sir, please stay!" Ling Xiaoyun hurriedly stopped Liu Zhong and said, "You forgot the Chixiao Sword!" ”

"This is a gift to the prince, how can I take it back?" Liu Zhong didn't look back, waved his hand, his clothes were lightly raised, and soon disappeared from Ling Xiaoyun's sight.

Ling Xiaoyun looked at the splendid Emperor Dao Sword Chi Xiao on Xiao Ji, frowned lightly and shook his head. Although the things are good, they are not easy to take, and he is destined to be entangled with the Lunatic Cult, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing he can't predict.

Just when Gao Changgong met Liu Zhong, an uninvited guest also came to Gao Yanzong's bedroom in the Jinyang Palace.

The person who came was white-faced and beardless, looked like he was in his early forties, and his complexion was ruddy, but his eyes were weather-beaten, and there were occasional flashes of essence between opening and closing, which made his whole person look sharp and aggressive, and he was incompatible with the eunuch uniform on his body.

"Are you really sure that you will successfully assassinate Gao Changgong and help me dominate the country?" The small eyes on Gao Yanzong's fat face were as wide as bull's eyes, staring at the old man opposite with burning eyes, his voice was very low, and his tone was full of eagerness and deep suspicion.

This person, who claimed to be the Supreme Elder of the Lunatic Sect, Zhang Song, suddenly appeared in front of him, although he showed the tokens of the Lunatic Cult, but Gao Yanzong was still very suspicious of his intentions. His emotions about the Lunatic Cult are very mixed. In the past, it was the Lunatic Cult that sent him to the top, and it was the Lunatic Cult that pushed him to the bottom, and now they appeared in front of them again, bluntly saying that they wanted to assassinate Gao Changgong and help them dominate the country, but what were their intentions?

Zhang Song raised his eyebrows, looked straight at Gao Yanzong and said, "Why, the emperor doesn't believe in the strength of my Moon Worship Sect?" ”

"Do you know how many elite soldiers and fierce generals there are in this Jinyang City, and how many Gao Changgong's cronies are in this palace?" Although Gao Yanzong did not answer, he obviously had doubts and did not have much confidence in what Zhang Song said.

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Song couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Although there are elite soldiers and strong generals under Gao Changgong, the so-called open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, the old man has his own way to kill him, but he wants the emperor to help." ”

Gao Yanzong's brows furrowed tightly when he heard this, his fat body was buried deep in the chair, the expression on his face was constantly changing, and his heart struggled violently.

Although Gao Yanzong is the emperor, but he is not worthy of the name, Mo said that the city is Chinese and a hundred officials, even the palace eunuchs in this palace, he can command very few, deep in the palace, like a bird and beast imprisoned in a cage, how can there be half a point of happiness.

Thinking of how noble his blood was, but now he had to grovel in front of Gao Yanzong's lowly race, beg for perfection, and be at his mercy, Gao Yanzong was furious, but when he thought of the terrible devil who was happy, he trembled with fear and broke out in a cold sweat. In the past few months, he has been living like a year, suffering a lot, wanting to resist, but he doesn't dare.

Just when Gao Yanzong wanted to give up the struggle completely, Zhang Song suddenly came to him, and his heart that was about to fall silent couldn't help but roll. Success or defeat is in this move, whether it is advance or retreat, Gao Yanzong can't help but fall into confusion and hesitation.

Gao Yanzong knew very well that once things failed, there was only one ending waiting for him, and it was impossible for Xing to let him go again; However, if the thing succeeds, he will not only be able to be ashamed, but also sit on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the scenery will be infinite from now on.

Seeing that Gao Yanzong's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he couldn't make a decision, a touch of disdain flashed on Zhang Song's face, and he spoke again: "Your Majesty, I can't hide it, my Moon Worship Sect and Happy Hatred are as deep as the sea, and I don't die, although I was lucky to escape last time, it was because it was only my Moon Worship Sect disciple Sun who did it, and my skills were not enough for the old man." This time, the old man came in person, don't say that he is happy, even if it is three or five, the old man will not have to kill him! As if to increase Gao Yanzong's confidence, as soon as Zhang Song's voice fell, his body suddenly exuded a terrifying momentum.

Gao Yanzong was shocked, looked at Zhang Song in shock, was stunned for a long time, his narrow eyes finally burst out with two fierce rays of light, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Everything is according to the old man's orders, I will kill Gao Changgong's father and son!" ”
