287. 287 Assassination

Entering the palace, the two of them first rested in the Yunhua Hall where the princess lived before, according to Yun Aotian, because of his longing for the girl, he would often go to the Yunhua Palace to walk, as if he could still see the shadow of Yun Chengcheng back then, and hear her coquettish laughter to relieve the pain of missing.

After entering the Yunhua Palace, Lin Ling'er retreated, and quietly knelt in Mu Jiuxiao's ear and said:

"What did Nangong Jue mean when he first entered the palace? Isn't it right that I bring my own subordinates with me? ”

Mu Jiuxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked to the gate of the palace to look at the palace, at this moment, probably the entire palace was busy preparing for today's dinner, and he couldn't see anything abnormal.

But Nangong Jue's words were really suspicious, he had already said something inconsequential more than once, and his demeanor was as if he knew something, but Yun Aotian was warm and kind to Lin Ling'er or him, as if he knew something at all.

Unless......

Nangong Jue knew something, but he didn't tell Yun Aotian, which meant ......

Mu Jiuxiao suddenly realized something, but he didn't move, just said to Lin Ling'er who walked to him:

"Nangong is definitely fighting with me because of you, it's not enough to be ashamed."

With that, he pulled her body again and said seriously,

"You just have to remember that you must stay close to me tonight, and don't let go of my hand, because someone will answer us."

She nodded vigorously, then hugged him tightly.

She didn't ask him, what if he failed? But I have already made up my mind in my heart, once I fail......

During the day, the two accompanied Yun Aotian to enjoy the flowers and play chess, had dinner together at noon, rested separately in the afternoon, and when the sun set in the west, the farewell dinner kicked off in a high-profile manner in front of the Zhengyang Hall of the palace.

Jeongyang Hall is the place where the Daegu royal palace usually discusses politics in the morning, and in front of the palace is a rectangular square, and the five-clawed flying dragon carved from white jade is spread in the center of the steps in front of the palace, symbolizing the supremacy of royal power.

Around the square, there are nine white jade pillars, which are engraved with the nine sons of the dragon, the bloody jeathers, the greedy gluttony, and the music-loving prison cows...... All of them are lifelike, while sighing at the realism, they can't help but be intimidating, giving people a strong sense of oppression, I'm afraid that only a king can control these nine divine beasts.

A 30-foot square stage was set up in the center of the square, with a red carpet on it, and various musical instruments and musicians on the left and right were already in place, just waiting for the lord to give an order.

Yun Aotian naturally occupies the upper seat, on his right hand side are the queen and two princes, as well as several favored concubines, and on the left hand side are the princess and the concubine, Yun Chengcheng and Mu Jiuxiao's status in his heart can be seen.

The two sides are sorted backwards in turn, and it is Nangong Qingfeng and several other favored ministers, and Nangong Jue is not present.

At this time, the sun had completely disappeared behind the western mountain, and the eunuch said in a loud voice:

"Palm Lamp - Music - "

Under the order, the fire candles in front of the Zhengyang Hall were lit one after another, illuminating the square like day, and the musicians on the stage played a cheerful tune, accompanied by beautiful music, Yun Aotian said:

"Today for the king of Hades and the princess, although the lonely is reluctant, but rest assured that the princess will be handed over to the king of Hades, I hope that your husband and wife will be harmonious and reconciled, and they will grow old. Come, all the ministers toast together, wishing the Hades King and the princess a smooth journey! ”

As he spoke, he raised his glass and drank with the crowd, and the whole palace was filled with joy.

At the whole dinner, everyone and the Hades King pushed the cup and exchanged lamps, everyone looked at Yun Aotian's face, and knew the status of the Hades in his heart, and furthermore, he wanted to win over the Hades King, or he had already spied on the Hades King's intentions for Daegu, or the two had reached some kind of consensus, for example, the two countries would not invade each other, each other would be allies, if there was a foreign enemy, they could jointly send troops to resist, if Daegu and Wani united, I am afraid that no one in the world could be defeated, which also corresponded to Yun Aotian's original promise to Mu Jiuxiao and his relatives. A qiē seems to be in his grasp.

After all, the lord of the country is the lord of the country, maybe in front of Jiangshan Sheji, his daughter's happiness is only secondary, he didn't expect that Mu Jiuxiao and his daughter would be so affectionate, but this can only show that his original decision was correct, he really didn't see the wrong person, Mu Jiuxiao is not only a good general, but also a good ally.

"Come, bring the Persian dance maiden sent by Hades and dance for everyone!"

Yun Aotian drank a lot, and when he was happy, he specially ordered someone to call the Persian dance maids, these women were deeply liked by him, and they were called up to show everyone at this time, which also highlighted how much he cherished the friendship with Mu Jiuxiao.

Twenty Persian dance girls came to the stage along with the music, their short tops only covering the chest, and below them were narrow skirts of light gauze, and the shorts inside were looming, so sexy that they instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Lin Ling'er and Mu Jiuxiao looked at each other and smiled, their hands were tightly clasped together under the table, this time should be the weakest time for everyone's psychology, taking advantage of this time, Mu Jiuxiao and Lin Ling'er walked hand in hand in front of Yun Aotian.

"Father, daughter and Hades have a cup of toast to their father, may their father be happy forever."

Lin Ling'er said sweetly,

"This farewell, I don't know when we can see each other, my father has to think about his daughter, think about his daughter, and don't forget his daughter!"

She learned from Yun Aocheng's coquettish appearance on weekdays, pulled Yun Aotian's sleeve, shook and shook, and made Yun Aotian like it.

"I also salute the lord of the country with a cup below, and I hope that the lord of the country will ......"

Mu Jiuxiao said, raised his glass and bowed his head, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly had an extra dagger in his hand, which stabbed straight into Yun Aotian's chest.

When Yun Aotian reacted, Mu Jiuxiao had already pulled out the dagger and went around behind him, one arm grabbed his neck from behind, and the other hand pressed the dagger just now against his throat.

Mu Jiuxiao's movements were completed in one go, and the queen sitting next to Yun Aotian felt that it was just a blink of an eye, and this qiē happened unbelievably.

"Ah......h

It was only then that she hugged her head and screamed like crazy, and when everyone heard the scream, they turned their attention away from the Persian Dancing Afternoon Girl, and when they saw the scene that happened to Yun Aotian, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

In the past few days, Mu Jiuxiao and the lord of the country have been talking and laughing, it seems that they are so harmonious and harmonious, today is the last day, no one thought that he would actually hold the Son of Heaven hostage.

What's even more amazing is the princess, not only did she not help her father, but she stood by Mu Jiuxiao's side, holding his clothes tightly, and the two of them were like conjoined babies.

Yun Aotian looked at his daughter, he couldn't count it, his daughter would betray him!

The bright yellow dragon robe was stained red by the gurgling blood gushing out of his chest, and the pain of the wound was probably far less than the pain of being betrayed by the person he loved the most.

His eyes were red, and he pointed at Lin Ling'er with blood, and his voice trembled:

"Allure, you...... You're actually ...... Betraying his father? ”

Lin Ling'er looked at the former high-ranking lord who was about to die in the hands of his enemies today, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart.

Her eyes were red, she had emphasized to Mu Jiuxiao countless times that nothing was more important than life, but at this moment, although she looked at the dying person so pitiful, she no longer had the courage to let Mu Jiuxiao let him go.

Maybe from the moment she hid the dagger in her sleeve pocket, from the moment she secretly handed the dagger to Mu Jiuxiao under the table, the scene in front of her was destined to happen, but she would still be heartbroken if she faced this bloody scene.

At this time, everyone rose up, and Nangong Jue led the palace guards to quickly arrive at the scene, but there were a large number of people, which was completely unexpected by Mu Jiuxiao, as expected, Nangong Jue and Nangong Qingfeng had already prepared, so could it be that Cloud Fall City was in their hands?

However, it was not suitable to think about these at this time, Mu Jiuxiao sneered and said:

"All back down to this king, this king has a few words to say to the lord of the country, after speaking, this king will return Yun Aotian to you!"

It was still Nangong Qingfeng who had been on the battlefield for a long time, he took the case, looked at Mu Jiuxiao with gloomy eyes, and said:

"Bold Hades, do you know what you're doing? Do you dare to hold the lord hostage, do you want to usurp the throne? ”

Mu Jiuxiao glanced at him coldly:

"Nangong Qingfeng, I'm afraid you already expected that there would be today, so why bother asking?"

His words made Yun Aotian's eyes widen and look at Nangong Qingfeng, and his bloody hands stretched out to him:

"Prime Minister Nangong...... Breeze...... Save me...... Help me......"

He and Nangong Qingfeng from acquaintance to conspiracy, more than 20 years have passed, when the two conspired to kill Tuoba Chong because of their different purposes, after that, the two got along like walking on thin ice, no one dared to offend anyone's interests, Mingli, Yun Aotian is the lord of the country, secretly, the strength of the two is comparable, and it is precisely because of this that the two can be peaceful for many years.

Now, I'm afraid that only Nangong Qingfeng has the ability to save him, he looks at Nangong Qingfeng like a life-saving straw, expecting him to lend a helping hand.

But Nangong Qingfeng just looked at Mu Jiuxiao and sneered, just because of what he said just now, since each other's minds are clear, he no longer needs to pretend in front of Mu Jiuxiao, but in front of the courtiers, he must play the role of his loyal minister.

He looked at Yun Aotian nervously and said in fear:

"Lord, don't worry, Wechen will never let Mu Jiuxiao succeed, Wechen will definitely capture Mu Jiuxiao alive and let the lord of the country deal with it personally!"

This side appeased Yun Aotian, he waved his hand and shouted,

"Come on, surround the two of them, if anyone can capture Mu Jiuxiao and Yun Chengcheng alive, reward ten thousand taels of gold!"

As soon as these words came out, Nangong bore the brunt of the attack, and the Praetorian Guards led by him moved instantly, surging from all around the square to the center.

At the same time, all the subordinates brought by Mu Jiuxiao, including the twenty Persian dance maidens, also approached them from all directions, protecting the two of them and Yun Aotian in an instant.

In the large square, two circular human walls were formed, and Mu Jiuxiao and Lin Ling'er became the center of the circle, temporarily isolated from the outside world.

"Withdraw!"

Mu Jiuxiao gave an order, everyone faced outward, and began to cover their retreat, the next person is just as Nangong Jue said, it is not a subordinate, whether male or female, they are all strong and strong, these people are Mu Jiuxiao's dead soldiers, and their task is to cover their retreat with death.

Yun Aotian's face turned pale from excessive blood loss, and he still wanted to make a final struggle:

"Allure...... Why are you doing that? Where is my father sorry for you, you are going to betray your father like this......"

Lin Ling'er nervously followed Mu Jiuxiao to retreat, and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, lord, I'm not your daughter."

As she spoke, she silently tore off her mask......
