Chapter 167: Thunder's Fury
The horse's hooves galloped, and the army of the Gong clan moved forward slowly, and suddenly a voice came from behind: "Xingping Jun stays." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xingping Jun was stunned, the emperor pulled the reins, and the chariot stopped. The army of tens of thousands of princes immediately stopped moving.
Seeing Xue Qian riding a war horse, Xingping Jun showed a puzzled look: "Stop Benjun, what's the matter?"
"Fourth, the fate of the fourth son is on the verge of death." Xue Qian didn't have time to dismount and salute, and panted to Xingping Jun to explain his intentions.
As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate uproar, and more than a dozen elderly feudal monarchs suddenly became angry.
"How can this be reasonable, when Benjun saw that the fourth prince had not arrived today, he knew that the situation had changed. I didn't expect it to be as I guessed."
"As soon as the envoys of Wei arrived in Xindu, the king hurriedly told me to withdraw my troops, if I was worthy of it, why bother."
"Xingpingjun, is this the promise you made to Anyangjun who was still cold in the bones?"
"If Zhao Chong really dares to kill the fourth son, Benjun will fight to get justice even if his family is ruined. Even if my Zhao Kingdom perishes, even if you forget the life and death of the past, this monarch alone will take revenge."
"Zhao Chong has suppressed us and other clans over the years, if it weren't for your promise from Xingping Jun back then, how could we let him get his wish."
"In the past, there were 600,000 princely troops, and he really thought that he could withdraw it? As long as we wait for the fiefdom to exist, why worry about having no soldiers, no food, and no one."
"If the king kills the four princes, this monarch is willing to raise troops."
"While we are still alive, let's settle an account for Anyangjun back then."
Looking at the more than a dozen feudal monarchs who were angry, Xingping Jun secretly became angry. A good Zhao Chong patted his chest in front of him and said that Zhao Wuming would be killed. As a result, as soon as he walked on the front foot, there came from behind: "Everyone, the matter is not clear, don't speculate randomly."
"Guess? Are you going to wait for me to be blind? Zhao Chong hurriedly ransomed Handan from the Wei State, and secretly transferred the forbidden army to come, for fear that I would withdraw the army one day later. It is true that there are only 300,000 elites in my clan, but if you want to fight to break the net, it is not difficult to urgently extract more than 100,000 young and strong people from the fiefdom." One of the feudal monarchs almost roared, and then the other feudal monarchs also stared at Xingping Jun with angry faces.
"Enough". Xingpingjun snorted violently, and suddenly quieted down: "After listening to the reason, it's not too late to talk about it."
"Just when the king returned to the palace, he ordered his father to hold a banquet outside the city of Handan to entertain the soldiers of the Handan garrison. At the same time, let the forbidden army take over the defense and lock the gates of Handan, and now the palace is full of forbidden soldiers and horses. The father speculated that the king's move was to kill the fourth son." Xue Qian explained to the feudal monarchs.
When the feudal lords heard the two words of speculation, they breathed a sigh of relief: "Just by speculating, you are in a hurry to come here, is there something wrong."
"It's speculation, but with the current situation. If it weren't for the king killing the four princes, why would he make such a big formation." Xue Qian asked them rhetorically.
The feudal monarchs fell into deep thought, and Xingping Jun looked around: "The situation is unknown, but I can't wait for it." Benjun proposes that you write back to the fiefdom and let the people in the fiefdom be ready to raise troops. At the same time, he led the army and returned to Handan to wait and see. If the king is really killing the fourth prince, enter the palace immediately."
"Just according to the words of Xingping Jun". The feudal lords nodded slowly, and then the chariot turned around, and the front army of the army turned into a rear army and galloped away in the direction of Handan.
The sound of dense footsteps at the north gate of Handan came, and Xue Li and Zhao Yu looked over at the same time.
Xingpingjun saluted Zhao Yu on the chariot: "Prince, what is the situation?"
"The news just came that the queen mother had escorted the fourth brother to meet his father. But I am afraid that the king will forcibly kill the fourth brother, so please ask all uncles and uncles to enter the palace immediately." Zhao Yu explained to Xin Pingjun and the others.
The feudal monarchs were furious: "How can this be reasonable, Xingping Jun and I will enter the palace immediately, if not, I am afraid that I will face Anyang Jun under Jiuquan without a word."
"Everyone, wait, now that the soldiers of the forbidden army have controlled Handan and even the palace, they can't enter with your tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. The fourth prince has the grace of life to the soldiers of the Handan garrison, and this favor has to be repaid. It is better to let the soldiers of the Handan garrison escort you to the gate of the palace." Xue Li proposed to the feudal monarchs.
The feudal lords glanced at Xue Li gratefully: "There is Lao Guowei."
"Don't dare". Xue Li hurriedly humbled himself, and then looked at Xue Qian: "Qian'er, for your father's order, you immediately lead the soldiers of the Handan garrison to escort all the feudal monarchs to the gate of the palace." Then wait outside the door, and do not make a move."
"Do as my father commands." Xue Qian heard the order and immediately ran to the soldiers of the Handan garrison who had already assembled in front.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu subconsciously wanted to follow, but was stopped by Xue Li: "The king ordered the prince to reward the soldiers here, and the prince should not go."
"This? ……“。 Zhao Yu showed a puzzled look.
Xingpingjun instantly understood what Xue Li meant, and looked at Zhao Yu: "This matter is enough for me, and the prince's peace of mind is here."
"Well, just according to my uncle's words." Zhao Yu thought about it, and then nodded and saluted Xingpingjun.
Xingping Jun felt that time was pressing, and he didn't say much here, and looked at the feudal monarchs: "Enter the palace."
As soon as the words fell, the emperor waved his whip. The feudal lords galloped towards the palace under the escort of their own soldiers and horses and the defenders of Handan.
……
In the royal palace, the carriage stopped outside a large hall. Hundreds of soldiers stood on both sides of the stairs, their swords dazzling in the sunlight.
The soldiers of the forbidden army looked solemn, as if there was boundless killing intent about to spread.
The carriage door was opened, and the queen and Zhao Wuming got out of the carriage, ignoring the hundreds of forbidden army soldiers and walked directly to the main hall.
Stepping on the steps, it was as if a huge heart was beating violently, and one loud bang after another sounded in everyone's heart.
Stepping into the main hall, Zhao Chong's face sank like water, and his eyes looked directly at Zhao Wuming.
The killing intent spread, and the soldiers of the forbidden army standing on both sides of the hall seemed to be infected. Subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and immediately unsheathed it after just waiting for an order.
Zhao Wuming thought of the movement along the way, and how did he not know that he was now wandering in the ghost gate. Then he looked up at Zhao Chong, and asked loudly without saluting: "I don't know why the king summoned me here?"
"This is a place to discuss government affairs, please return to the Queen." Zhao Chong did not reply, but looked at the queen who was standing beside Zhao Wuming.
It's come to this, how can you easily return. The queen saluted Zhao Chong: "The king ......."
"This is the place of the council, and the woman is not allowed to enter. Tell the widow's will, and send the queen out." Without waiting for the queen to continue, Zhao Chong immediately issued an order to the soldiers of the forbidden army standing on both sides.
The soldiers of the forbidden army bowed: "Obey the order."
"You dare". Seeing several soldiers of the forbidden army coming without saying anything, the queen was furious, but these forbidden soldiers were not afraid. Directly drag the queen out of the palace. Then the door slammed shut.
Zhao Wuming was furious when he saw this, and asked Zhao Chong: "The king has done this, where is the queen?"
"The Queen? Dare to do bad things. If the widow first punishes you, a rebel, it is not impossible to depose the queen." Thinking of the queen's actions today, Zhao Chong almost roared.
The soldiers of the forbidden army on the left and right sides of the hall couldn't help but pull out their swords an inch.
How could Zhao Wuming, who had experienced the battlefield, be intimidated by this momentum, it seemed that he had to be too naïve before, and when he thought of this, he asked loudly: "Why did King Zhao go to such great lengths to put himself to death?"
"Why should the widow tell you when you are dead? Go to the nine springs and ask An Yangjun face to face, if everything is clear. Why should there be no one to bother here?" When Zhao Chong mentioned the three words of An Yangjun, the killing intent became a little stronger.
Seeing that Zhao Chong had no intention of explaining, Zhao Wuming asked him the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time: "Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, why does King Zhao regard loneliness as an enemy." Let the lonely in ten years, life is better than death".
"Life is better than death?". Zhao Chong repeated in a low voice, and suddenly a trace of unbearability rose in his heart, after all, the person in front of him was his own son. But when he thought of An Yangjun and the Gong family, he immediately had a great killing intent: "Is the life of a mere son comparable to the country in the hands of a widow?"
As soon as the words fell, he didn't wait for Zhao Wuming to speak. As if thinking of something, Zhao Chong suddenly became angry and scolded the soldiers of the forbidden army in the palace: "Punish this rebel for the widow."
"Obey". Suddenly, the sound of drawing a sword sounded, but at that moment the door was kicked open. A large number of soldiers poured into the main hall, and at the same time, the sound of swords and soldiers outside the hall also came in.
A sword with a handle was clamped on the neck of the forbidden soldiers, and countless soldiers in red clothes and red armor surrounded more than a dozen feudal monarchs and walked menacingly.
Zhao Chong's heart trembled suddenly, and he looked at those feudal monarchs in disbelief: "You, you ......."
"The king wants to ask, why did we break through the many defenses of the forbidden army and come here?" Xingpingjun's voice resounded through the hall.
The sound of swords and soldiers outside the hall stopped abruptly, and the forbidden army and the soldiers of the prince in the palace confronted each other.
Zhao Chong's lips moved, but he couldn't say a word for a while.
Dozens of feudal monarchs turned pale, and their eyes looked directly at Zhao Chong.
Zhao Chong was like falling into an ice cave for a moment, and the scene of secretly killing An Yangjun in Anyangjun's big tent in the past was so similar. It's just that after he killed An Yangjun at the beginning, he was surrounded by these people who came to hear the news.
"Wang, Zhao Chong, do you still want to stage that scene from the past?" A feudal monarch couldn't help but ask loudly.
The rest of the feudal monarchs couldn't help it, and instantly looked at Xingpingjun, and their anger gradually spread: "Xingpingjun, is this what you promised in Anyangjun's big tent?" If it weren't for you back then, how could he Zhao Chong live to this day."
"The king, please give the old minister, an explanation." Xing Pingjun was also very annoyed when he heard these questions. looked at Zhao Chong and asked him.
Zhao Chong looked around at these feudal monarchs and shouted at them: "The widow has a clear conscience, the widow is the king, why should the widow explain."
"Since you don't care about the country of Zhao, why do we want to protect the territory as a branch. If you want to kill the fourth son, we will burn it here. Today, I want to take a look, but there is still the next Xingping Jun to save your life, but there is also the next Anyang Jun to save Zhao Guo." As soon as the words fell, all the feudal monarchs stepped forward in unison.
"You, you ......". Seeing that they were aggressive, Zhao Chong's blood surged up for a while, and he fainted directly.
