Under the protection of everyone, the emperor retreated to the apse of the Hall of Light, and after taking his seat, Yingren had already asked with concern: "Father, how are you?" ”

An Guogong also retreated with the emperor, knelt down and said: "The ministers are incompetent, let the saint be frightened, the sin deserves death, I implore the saint to surrender!" The generals who followed immediately knelt on the ground, looking frightened.

Although the emperor's expression was still calm, there was still anger in his eyes that could not be concealed, and such an assassination event occurred at today's state banquet, which greatly damaged the emperor's face.

"Where is Zhao Xuan?" The Emperor finally asked in a cold voice.

Zhao Xuan, the Qing of Honglu Temple, also came to the apse by ghost, until this moment, his mind was blank, and everything that happened in the hall was now that he couldn't figure out what was going on.

The emperor called him by name, he didn't even hear it clearly, An Guogong had already turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Xuan!" ”

Zhao Xuan finally woke up at this moment, "ah", and then saw that everyone's eyes were fixed on him, a spirit, looked up and saw that the emperor's eyes were staring at his face very gloomy, and he shuddered, and finally understood that the catastrophe was coming, his whole body was soft, and he said in a trembling voice: "Shengshang, Weichen...... Wechen ......! At this moment, not only was his white and chubby face already sweating like rain, but his body was already in cold sweat, and he couldn't speak for a while.

The emperor was expressionless, and said lightly: "These assassins, you brought them into the palace?" ”

Zhao Xuan's fat body was like a lump of meat piled on the ground, and his soul was scattered: "Holy Lord, Weichen...... Weichen deserves death, but ...... But Wechen didn't know that they were assassins, Wechen ......! ”

The emperor leaned back in his chair and said coldly, "I came to ask you, do you want to assassinate me, or do you want to assassinate Mahazang?" Or do you want me and Mahazang to die in the temple? ”

Zhao Xuan's forehead was pressed against the ground, and he trembled: "Holy ...... Holy Lord, Wechen...... Wechen didn't dare to ......! ”

"I know you don't dare, I want to know, who gave you the guts?" The emperor's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Who did you instruct to do such a disobedient thing?" ”

Zhao Xuan said: "Holy Lord, Weichen...... Although Weichen has selfish intentions, he ...... But I would never dare to go against the grain so much. He knew that his life was in danger, so he could only say: "Weichen wants to get ...... after this state banquet received the joy of the saints, so when the Xiliang mission had not yet arrived in the capital, they were thinking about how to organize this state banquet. The head of the acrobatic team is called Chang Yi, he first met Weichen's housekeeper, and then the housekeeper introduced him to Weichen, Weichen...... Wechen didn't want to come into contact with these people, but ...... But he sent three hundred taels of silver, and Wei Chen was fascinated for a while, so he met him, and was bewitched by his words, and promised to arrange for his acrobatic team to enter the palace to perform skills...... Wechen only thought that they wanted to use this opportunity to get the holy reward, but they never thought that they had bad intentions, it was Wechen who was negligent, but ...... But Wechen has no disobedience, the saint, the wechen are guilty, ask the saint to spare his life......! ”

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "Three hundred taels of silver, you can buy my Great Qin Honglu Temple, Zhao Xuan, your life seems to be worthless!" He looked at An Guogong and asked, "An Guogong, what Zhao Xuan said, is it true or false?" ”

An Guo said fairly: "Holy Lord, the old minister didn't dare to speak falsely, but now, the old minister thought that Zhao Xuan didn't dare to deceive the king and hide it!" ”

"What Weichen said, every sentence is true!" Zhao Xuan saw what this meant, and there was still a glimmer of life, and hurriedly said: "Weichen was deceived by those assassins, and he will never dare to be disobedient!" ”

The emperor did not look at him, and continued to ask An Guogong: "An Guogong, the assassin carried out the assassination, he was careful and prepared, according to your opinion, who has such the courage to dare to plan this assassination?" ”

An Guo said: "Shengshang, the old minister thinks that the target of this assassination may not be Shengshang, but Xiliang Mahazang. ”

"I think so." The emperor bowed slightly: "What is the purpose of assassinating Mahazang?" ”

"Stop the peace from succeeding!" An Guogong immediately said: "Mahazang is an envoy of Western Liang, and the purpose of coming here this time is to negotiate peace with my Great Qin. The saint is wise, and the peace negotiation with the Western Liang has been successful, but at this time, someone assassinated Mahazang at the state banquet, and the purpose was naturally to destroy the peace. If Mahazang dies in the Temple of Light, no matter who kills him, the Xiliang people only think that it was my Great Qin, and the peace between the two countries can no longer be reached, no matter what problems arise on the side of the Xiliang people, their prince dies in my Great Qin, they will never give up, and the smoke of the two countries will only rise again! ”

The emperor bowed his head and said: "What the prince said is extremely true, it seems that someone is trying to sabotage the peace between the two countries. Wei Yi groaned and asked, "In your opinion, who wants to sabotage the peace between the two countries?" ”

An Guogong also thought about it, and then said cautiously: "Holy Lord, although the old minister does not dare to speculate, the first thing that comes to the old minister's mind is the Heavenly Gate Dao!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ting, Lin Yuanfang, and several generals next to him also bowed slightly, and it was Shen Keqiu, who had always been in opposition to An Guogong, and this time he couldn't help but nod.

"Tianmen Dao?"

"Exactly!" An Guo said: "The imperial court army is besieging the Tianmen Daoists in Jianghuai, and the Tianmen Demon Dao wants to fight against my Great Qin Imperial Court, but it is undoubtedly a mantis arm blocking the car and killing itself." Once a peace agreement is reached with the Xiliang people, and the imperial court makes every effort to suppress Tianmen Dao, then with the bravery of my Great Qin soldiers, it is only an overnight matter that Tianmen Dao is destroyed. After a pause, seeing that the emperor was thoughtful, he continued: "The Tianmen Demon Dao naturally understands this trick, and this time he is planning to assassinate Mahazang, once it succeeds, my Great Qin will face the pressure of the Xiliang people, and the Tianmen Demon Dao thinks that he has a chance to breathe!" ”

Zhou Ting immediately said: "Holy Lord, what An Guogong said is extremely true. Today's assassination, the assassin's assassination technique is very weird, full of smoke, these witchcraft, only Tianmen Dao people like to use the most! ”

Lin Yuanfang wasted no time in saying: "Holy Lord, the demon of Tianmen is good at demon law, and today it is the demon law that is causing trouble, such a demon sect evil way, it must be eliminated!" ”

The emperor stroked his beard, and at this moment, he saw a sound of footsteps, Lin Yuanfang heard the sound of footsteps, the number of people was no less than ten, and he knew that it could never be an assassin, but he screamed, got up and stepped forward, protected in front of the emperor, opened his arms, and shouted: "Protect the saint!" ”

I saw that the person who came was the Han King Yingping and his party, Yingping was in front, Xuanyuan Shao also followed, Yingping knelt on the ground, and blamed himself: "The son's son is not well guarded, so that the father is frightened, and the crime deserves death!" ”

Xuanyuan Shao has also knelt down: "The minister is in charge of the palace guards, he can't protect everything, and the guilt is not forgiven, so I implore the saint to surrender!" ”

The emperor had already asked, "Yingping, how is the situation in Mahazang?" ”

"Back to my father, Mahazang has suffered some minor injuries, and it is fine!" Yingping replied: "Of the seven assassins, five have been killed, and the remaining two have been captured!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Mahazo does not die, then the purpose of the assassins this time has not been achieved, and the relationship between the two countries is not irreparable.

The Emperor raised his hand and said, "Get up, all of you." Xiang Xuanyuan Shao said: "You can't blame this incident, these assassins are very cunning and well-planned, you are not guilty today, but you have merit, if it weren't for your arrow, I may no longer be alive!" ”

Xuanyuan Shao immediately said: "The Holy Lord is blessed by the sky, God blesses it, and the evil demon clown must not hurt the Holy One." ”

The emperor stood up, walked slowly to Xuanyuan Shao's side, reached out and took out an arrow from Xuanyuan Shao's quiver box, and said with a smile: "I have Xuanyuan Shao, every evil turns into auspiciousness, Xuanyuan Shao has arrows, and the world is invincible!" ”

Lin Yuanfang was about to echo a few words, but suddenly saw the emperor flick his backhand, and the arrow in his hand "poofed" and was inserted into the back of Zhao Xuan's neck from Honglu Temple.

This time it was really sudden, no one could have imagined that when the emperor was smiling and gentle, he suddenly made a move, and the shot was even faster, his backhand was full of strength, and the arrow penetrated Zhao Xuan's neck.

Xuanyuan Shao's arrows are naturally not ordinary arrows, the arrow cluster is sharp, the arrow shaft is hard, the sharp arrow cluster came out of Zhao Xuan's throat, his eyes bulged violently, his two hands raised to cover his throat, and under the horrified eyes of everyone, he fell to the ground, making a "cooing" sound in his throat, and his body twitched twice, and then he stopped moving.

Everyone was chilled.

The emperor fought in the south and the north, although his hands were full of blood, but since he ascended the throne, he has not personally killed people for a long, long time, although the emperor is still decisive in killing, and there are not a few ministers who have been killed, but over the years, he can be killed by the emperor himself, and there is only Zhao Xuan, the emperor's heart is ruthless, and the shot is more ruthless.

Killing Zhao Xuan, the emperor's expression was still calm, and he said in a deep voice: "Spread my will, immediately send someone to raid Zhao Xuan's mansion, and all his family members will be put on death row, and three days later, Qiu Junhao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, will personally supervise and behead him, and immediately hand over the two assassins to the Criminal Department, interrogated overnight, and when I wake up tomorrow, the Criminal Department will need to report the origin of the assassin to me, otherwise Qiu Junhao will carry his head into the palace!" He looked at Zhou Ting and said, "Zhou Ting, the envoys of Xiliang are frightened, you go to offer condolences on my behalf and tell them that I will give them an explanation!" ”

Zhou Ting respectfully agreed.

At this moment, a general priest hurriedly entered, knelt far on the ground, and exclaimed: "Qi Song Sheng, something is wrong!" ”

King Han had already stood up, his sword eyebrows tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't make a fuss, what's wrong?" ”

"The envoys of Xiliang are about to leave the palace, and they said that they will leave Luo'anjing and return to Xiliang tonight!" The general said cautiously.

The emperor frowned, and said that Zhou Ting had already bowed his hand and said: "Holy Lord, the minister will go and persuade the envoy of Xiliang now!" ”

……

……

Mahazang's wrist was wrapped by a long rope, leaving scars, fortunately it was only a flesh injury, not a wound to the muscles and bones, the smoke on the temple has not completely dispersed, the temple door has been opened at this time, the guards have checked many ministers who fell to the ground, and found that they are still breathing, it seems that although the smoke is poisonous, it does not kill people, but only makes people unconscious.

The corpse has been carried out of the main hall, and the frightened ministers did not dare to stay in the hall at this time, but they did not dare to leave the palace, they were all in the square outside the hall, one by one, they were frightened, gathered together to talk, naturally they were all unbelievable about tonight's events, many people were already angrily scolding Zhao Xuan, and they all put the responsibility on Zhao Xuan, and some people had already gathered together to discuss, and Zhao Xuan would be impeached immediately, but they didn't know that Zhao Xuan, the emperor of Honglu Temple, had died at this time.

Mahazang, who had always behaved with a rough personality before, was very calm this time, but Gusa Heiyun, the great ceremonial official of Xiliang who had been calm before, was furious, and when he walked out of the main hall with Mahazang, he had already pointed at the ministers of Daqin, and said sharply: "You Qin people actually designed to frame my Prince Xiliang like this, such despicable behavior, my Daxiliang will definitely not tolerate it." Then he said to Mahazang: "Your Royal Highness, let's set off tonight and return to Xiliang immediately!" ”

Mahazang was noncommittal, just clenched his hands into fists, his face was expressionless, and walked down the jade steps, looking at it, he wanted to leave the palace now, the ministers saw this, looked at each other, but two courtiers hurriedly stepped forward to stop, and arched his hand and said: "Prince Maha, there is another reason for this matter, please be calm and don't be impatient, I will wait ......!" Before they could finish speaking, the Mahazang Tiger opened his eyes angrily and said sharply, "Get out of the way!" ”

The ministers glanced at each other, and saw that the Maha Tibetans were tall and majestic, and they really didn't dare to stop them for a while, so they could only dodge, and the Mahazang strode forward, and the Gusa Black Cloud followed closely behind, and the two went down the jade steps, followed the jade avenue, and strode forward, and walked very decisively, and the courtiers looked at each other, knowing that a stab tonight was a big thing.
