Chapter 22: The Assassination Succeeds
Early the next morning, Baili Wuji took Xu Shouren to meet Gao Congxue, the king of Nanping.
At this time, there were already five of the most powerful people in Jingnan sitting in the palace hall, and the extra one was Gao Baorong, the prince of the world.
It seems that the king is ready for the transfer of power.
Let Xu Shouren wait outside the door.
Baili Wuji entered the roll call loudly.
"The subordinate Gyeongju Jinglu envoy Baili Wuji visited the king."
After entering, after Baili Wuji finished the salute, he listened to the high congratulatory above: "Baili Jing slightly exempts the courtesy, sit down." ”
"King Xie." Baili Wuji immediately greeted everyone present and sat down at the end.
"This king understands the intention of the envoy of the Hundred Miles Sutra, and this king does not allow it to borrow the Tao."
As soon as Gao Congzhi came up, he directly blocked the road.
Baili Wuji smiled when he heard this.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at the people seated.
Gao Congyu was staring at himself.
Gao Congchen bowed his head slightly and played with the teacup in his hand.
Gao Baorong looked at his father with a happy face.
Sun Guangxian was eye-level, expressionless.
Liang Zhen closed his eyes and rested.
Baili Wuji opened his mouth and said softly.
"King, what if your subordinates have to borrow?"
People who hold the lives and deaths of others in their hands have natural dignity in their speech and demeanor, even if it is a light word, it is enough.
The words are not shocking, and they are endless.
As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked, even Liang Zhen was no exception.
The lobby was filled with shouts.
"Bold"
"Bastard."
"You want to rebel?"
……。
Gao Congyu waved his hand, and the hall fell silent.
Baili Wuji smiled and said nothing.
Gao Congzhi stared at Baili Wuji for a long time, and suddenly looked up and smiled.
After laughing, he said: "The Hundred Miles Sutra is a little more courageous and majestic. ”
Baili Wuji gave a light salute and replied: "The king is kind and generous." ”
But seeing that Gao Congxue's face changed instantly, he said with a deep face: "Aren't you afraid that this king will take you down now and cut off your head for the following crimes?" ”
Baili Wuji said abruptly: "The king understands in his heart that he just told the truth, and the heads of his subordinates are definitely not as important as the land of the king's three states." ”
The truth is not good, but you can't help but listen to it, you have to listen to it.
Gao Congzhi continued to ask: "Aren't you afraid that this king will cut off your grain route when you go south?" ”
Baili Wuji replied lightly: "The army is everywhere, and there is grain everywhere. It is impossible for the king to destroy his foundation and make the act of cutting off his arms and feeding the eagle. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a voice of rebuke again.
"Bold, you dare to threaten the king?"
"It's too presumptuous, it's too presumptuous."
……。
This is really heavy, even Gao Congzhi didn't expect Baili Wuji to dare to fight-for-tat at this time, the meaning of Wuji's words is very clear, you cut off my grain road, I will solve it on the spot, where is not the granary of my army in Nanping.
But it's also a truth, and the truth is always not good.
Gao Congyu waved his hand again, and the hall was quiet again.
Gao Congzhi thought for a while and asked again: "If you attack Chu successfully, what is the benefit of Nanping?" Where do you want to put Jingnan? ”
Baili Wuji gave another salute and replied: "Gyeongju started in Jingnan and was ruled by the king. If you cooperate, you will benefit both, and if you divide you, you have me, and I have you. If the attack on Chu is successful, the king will still be the king, and Baili Wuji will still be Baili Wuji. As for the benefits, the king imagined that from Gyeongju to Chu, the siege of Jingnan on all sides would be less threatening from Shu and Chu. Furthermore, if the attack on Chu is successful, within two years, my father will return the entire territory of Guizhou to the king, and at the same time send the Padang iron ore and the armory workshop to the king. ”
After staring at Baili Wuji for a long time, Gao Congzhi waved his hand and said, "This king is approved, go ahead." ”
Baili Wuji got up and saluted slightly: "The king is wise." ”
Bow and retreat.
No matter how shocked you are, the king actually allowed it?
Baili Wuji Shi Shiran walked out of the meeting hall, and he and Xu Shouren were about to leave one after the other.
Only a few steps forward, I suddenly heard Xu Shouren shouting urgently behind him, "Da Lang be careful." ”
Baili Wuji turned around in astonishment, and subconsciously, his body folded slightly to the right.
I felt a shock to the left side of my body, and my consciousness gradually blurred.
"Is it an assassination?"
At the moment of falling, he seemed to see a green shirt, and shouted softly: "Yun'er......." ”
Crash down.
Xu Shouren almost rushed to the ground and hugged him in his arms in the moment.
Hysterically shouted: "There are assassins ......." ”
At the same time, the palace guards shouted, "There is a ...... to kill guests." "Quickly melon, run, and surround the entire palace.
Xu Shouren was following Baili Wuji at that time, and only took three steps when he inadvertently saw a bright light flashing in front of him, and then reacted to an assassin and hurriedly shouted, but it was too late to block Baili Wuji, and the assassin had already shot a crossbow arrow.
The crossbow bolt pierced the chest, and the blood poured into it.
Xu Shouren cried and hugged Wuji, whose eyes were closed, at this time, he no longer pretended to be that Sven's fan, tears were intertwined, and he wanted to replace him with his body, but he couldn't do anything, his heart was sad, angry, resentful, and he had mixed feelings, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and shout angrily.
"Ah......h
If Gyeongju has no leader, many people's dreams will be extinguished. How many of the dead will lose their dignity and will gradually be forgotten.
Fuzhong Gao Congzhen, Liang Zhen and others also rushed out when they heard the sound, and surrounded Wuji to prevent him from being hurt again.
In an instant, the palace was crowded with people, and the bright and dark guards all appeared to search for the assassin. A large number of royal soldiers blocked the gate of the hall to protect the king.
Soon, the royal army took control of the situation.
And the high congregation in the hall also walked out of the council hall.
Gao Congzhi first walked to the half-squatting Xu Shouren, and when he saw the Baili Wuji in his arms with a crossbow arrow, his face was shocked.
He immediately ordered the medical workers to be sent for treatment.
After a short rest, several medical workers arrived.
Carried Baili Wuji into a side room on the left side and began treatment.
At this time, everyone's emotions were slowly calmed down and they began to think.
Nanping Wang Gao Congzhi issued a series of orders.
No one present is allowed to divulge a word to the outside world.
The assassin of Gangneung Province blocked the whole city to arrest the assassins.
The palace guards blocked the palace and strictly forbade the leakage of the news of Baili Wuji's assassination.
On the march, Sima Gao mobilized Dingnan to guard the palace.
The capital commanded all the Jingnan Army under Gao Baorong to prepare for battle. and sent a powerful force to advance fifty miles in the direction of Guizhou.
……。
Half an hour had passed, and the five returned to the council hall again.
The medical worker came to report that the crossbow arrow pierced between the left shoulder blade and the atrium of Baili Wuji, and there was no injury to the vital point, so his life was worry-free. Now the arrow has been pulled out, but the wounded person has lost too much blood, so he is still in a coma.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, except for one of them, of course.
After calming down, everyone began to think about the incident.
Gao Congzhen secretly thought in his heart, fortunately, it would be good to save his life, otherwise he wouldn't know how to explain to Rong'er.
Sun Guangxian secretly thought in his heart that this would not be the king's doing. If the king intended to kill him, Baili Wuji would have been dead by now.
