Emperor Zhou stood in front of the sacrificial tripod, the guards on the side handed the fire fold, and the emperor lit the sacrificial text, threw it into the tripod filled with incense ash, and then prayed to the heavens sincerely.

Zhao Yan also closed his eyes, but Zhao Ye's face was very stiff, his breathing began to speed up, he watched the lit sacrificial text being thrown into the ding, and suddenly ran down quickly, until he ran to a place he thought was safe.

His strange behavior made everyone pay attention, and the hundred officials below looked at him in puzzlement, and Emperor Zhou and Zhao Yan above also turned their heads and looked at him in surprise.

However, what he expected did not happen, as wisps of green smoke drifted up, the explosion that was supposed to sound at this time did not sound!

"The third prince has a mad attack, arrest him and lock him up, don't affect the procedure of sacrificing to the sky!" Emperor Zhou said indifferently.

Zhao Ye raised his eyes to look at the indifference in his father's eyes, the pity in his second brother's eyes, as if he was already a dead man at this time, he didn't know where the problem was for the time being, but he didn't do more than this!

The coldness and hatred in Zhao Ye's eyes became more and more intense, his foot stepped on a switch on the stone steps, and suddenly five or six stone slabs above the sacrifice sky exploded, and dozens of black-clothed people rushed out of it, they held sharp blades with cold light in their hands, and killed Emperor Zhou and Zhao Yan!

When Zhao Ye was building the sacrifice to the sky, he found an opportunity to change the original drawings, first buried it in the sacrifice tripod, in the original plan, Emperor Zhou lit the sacrifice, * should have exploded, and returned to heaven with this great emperor, but now it is quiet, he didn't understand whether this plan had been discovered long ago or there was a mistake, but now there is no point in pursuing those things!

The black-clothed man who had been hiding under the sacrificial sky half a month ago jumped up and attacked Emperor Zhou and the three princes, but there were only eight guards on the altar, no one would have thought that the assassin would rush out from under the altar!

"Escort!" Zhao Yan shouted, he had no weapons on him, so he had to use his flesh and blood to protect Emperor Zhou behind him!

Zhao Ling and the others below also reacted and hurriedly rushed towards the altar.

The powerful murderous aura formed by these black-clothed masters lingered around, but Emperor Zhou's face did not change, but his eyes became more and more cold as he looked at his son below.

At this time, the eight guards surrounded Emperor Zhou and Zhao Yan in front of him, and pulled out their knives towards the attacking black-clothed man.

These people under Zhao Ye are all the top masters he has cultivated in recent years, if these people attack together, no one will be able to resist in a short period of time, but to his surprise, these eight guards do not seem to be ordinary guards, their martial arts have reached the point of reaching the peak, even if it is his people besieging together, but under the strict protection of the eight people, it is not leaky, so that the black-clothed assassin can not find any opportunity!

Who the hell are these people!

And Zhao Ling, who reacted at this time, had already rushed up with someone!

If there is no one below to rescue Emperor Zhou before he arrives, then his plan will be in vain!

Could it be that he has been seen through from the beginning, and his plan has fallen into the eyes of his father naked from the beginning? He has worked hard for so long, is it still just a joke in his eyes in the end? A touch of indignation rose in Zhao Ye's heart, could it be that he had no way to defeat him no matter what, no matter what he did, he could only be a chess piece pinched by him?

He was not reconciled! Really unwilling!

Zhao Ye killed a guard located on the stone steps, snatched the knife from his hand, and waved the knife to look at Zhao Ling who rushed up!

"You can't lose! I'm not going to lose! Zhao Ye shouted and attacked Zhao Ling.

Since the night of Su Xuan's tragic death, Zhao Ling has always wanted to kill Zhao Ye to avenge her, and now this opportunity has finally come! Zhao Ling's eyes flashed with cold light and murderous aura, and he said to Zhao Qian: "You take someone up to rescue the driver, just hand over Zhao Ye to me!" ”

Zhao Qian naturally knew what his brother was thinking, nodded and said to the guards behind him, "Everyone come with me!" ”

In the handover, the blades in Zhao Ling and Zhao Ye's hands collided fiercely, with the strength to split the other party in half, their eyes were full of hatred, and they glared at each other angrily.

Zhao Ling shouted coldly: "Zhao Ye, your death time has arrived!" When Su Xuan died, I didn't be able to kill you with my own hands, now let's see what tricks you have! ”

"Just let the horses come!" Zhao Ye sneered, "I'm going to kill all of you, all of you, and all the people who are responsible for me!" ”

The two fought more than a dozen moves, both with the determination to kill each other, but Zhao Ye's strength was not as strong as Zhao Ling after all, and after a few moves, he was kicked down by Zhao Ling.

Zhao Ye rolled down the white world, and after stopping, he covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Zhao Ling with an oozing smile. Zhao Ling jumped down in a few steps, raised his sword and slashed at Zhao Ye, but at this time, his arm was grabbed, he raised his eyes, looked at the King of Chu and asked puzzledly, "Father?" ”

King Chu glanced at Zhao Ye with lowered eyes, and said lightly: "Even if he has committed an unforgivable sin, he is still a prince, and he should be handed over to His Majesty to deal with!" ”

After the King of Chu finished speaking, he made a look, and the guards dragged Zhao Ye down.

Zhao Ye's face was unwilling to fail, but there was no fear of failure, he may have expected failure, but being able to challenge his father's authority on this occasion still made his heart feel hearty, even if it was death, it would not die so quietly, even if it was death, it would be planted in your heart!

Zhao Ling gritted his teeth, put away the surging murderous aura, raised his eyes and looked towards the altar, only to see Emperor Zhou and Zhao Yan slowly walking down the altar under the escort of Zhao Qian and those guards, while the black-clothed killers behind them were being slaughtered and cleaned up.

They walked down slowly, and behind them, the blood was slowly flowing down.

Zhao Ling put away his sword, stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty has the protection of God, the chaotic ministers and thieves must not hurt Your Majesty in the slightest, the second prince has been taken down, waiting for Your Majesty to fall!" ”

Emperor Zhou's expressionless face finally loosened a little, he glanced at Zhao Ling, and said lightly: "Good job!" What about Qiyang Gong! ”

Zhao Ling's attention was all focused on the altar, completely forgetting about this person, he looked back, but he didn't see the figure of Changsun Hu, and immediately called someone to inquire about this person's whereabouts!

Qi Guifei greeted her worriedly, her face was still pale because of Fang Cai's assassination, she held Emperor Zhou's arm, and asked softly, "Your Majesty is safe and sound, right?" ”

"I'm fine! How dare a few clowns who jump off the beam hurt me in the slightest! Emperor Zhou said coldly, he glanced at the officials of the Ministry of Rites who had been stunned, "It's just a little episode, let's move on to the next step!" ”

"Yes!" The Ministry of Rites officials recovered and hurried to the next step!

Although the incident of the three princes intending to kill the monarch and kill their father cast a lingering shadow on the sacrifice of the heavens, Emperor Zhou did not seem to be affected, and the following process was still completed in an orderly manner!

He is still the majestic and unshakable emperor of the Great Zhou!

Anyone who dares to challenge his imperial power will die, including his own son!

After all the processes of the sacrifice to the heavens were completed, it was already in the afternoon, Zhao Ling walked to Emperor Zhou's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, Duke Qiyang has taken advantage of the assassination of the third prince to escape down the mountain in chaos!" However, several other members of the eldest grandson's family did not run away and were arrested! ”

"I don't want to keep him on this mountain!" Emperor Zhou said lightly, "He has always been disobedient to me, thinking that I have all the gifts I have given him today, and that he is better than me, so I will give him this opportunity to prove whether he is better than me!" Don't care about the whereabouts of the eldest grandson, tell the second child to act according to the previous plan! Moreover, once the eldest grandson is in trouble, all the people of the eldest grandson's family will be killed! ”

"Yes!"

After the end of the Zen sacrifice, Emperor Zhou and the ministers in the palace feasted.

Singing and dancing, Emperor Zhou and the hundred officials drank freely, as if the assassination during the day did not exist at all. The ministers surrendered to the feet of His Majesty, no longer mentioned the accidents of the day, and enjoyed this universal celebration with everyone!

Everyone has a happy smile on their faces, their mouths are praising His Majesty's merits, the sound of silk and bamboo is pleasant, the willow waist of the dancing girl is hired, and it is also a prosperous scene!

Zhao Yan and Zhao Ling had already changed into battle robes, and their solemn faces looked incompatible with the lively scene inside.

A real war is about to begin, and they do not dare to slack off in the slightest.

"Who are those eight people on the altar of Your Majesty?" Zhao Ling asked.

"The third brother has His Majesty's eyes and ears by his side, so the third brother's every move, the father has long known, but the third brother still thinks that his plan is seamless!" Zhao Yan sighed slightly, "He buried * in the sacrificial ding, and wanted to blow up his father to death, but the * inside had already been dropped by his most trusted henchman, and his father asked him to come here to build the altar, and he took everything in his hands from the beginning, and his father said that he gave the third brother a chance, but the third brother never got rid of the fate of being a chess piece!" I only knew about the eight guards last night, and my father asked me to replace the guards on the altar with them, and I knew that my father had made sufficient preparations! These eight people are the top masters found by their father from the rivers and lakes, and they were all figures in various sects a few years ago, but now they are willing to work under their father! ”

"Chess pieces......" Zhao Ling smiled self-deprecatingly, "Actually, why don't we?" ”
