94, the killing intent from the Sword Emperor
Jade Tang Palace.
Above the court in the early morning.
Tang Wang Longyan, who had finished watching the recital, was furious and threw the recital in his hand to the ground.
"Dare to kidnap the princess of our country, and want to ransom people in Hanzhou, the Demon Sect is really a lion's mouth!"
The bamboo slips were smashed to pieces, causing a commotion and panic among the ministers under the court.
"Even Her Royal Highness the princess can't protect it, what's the use of the soldiers I want to guard in Changling?"
King Tang slapped his palm on the dragon chair, and looked at Chen Yanbei, who was carrying a long knife below: "Where is Meng Wei dead?" ”
"Your Majesty is angry. ”
Prime Minister Liu Ce walked out and said comfortingly: "The Demon Sect has coveted Hanzhou for a long time, and it will do whatever it takes to seize Hanzhou, and the ministers are also angry. Please also ask Your Majesty to put out your anger for the time being, and don't get angry. ”
Tang Wang snorted coldly: "Now that the war in Hanzhou is tight, and Bijun has been taken away by the Demon Sect again, how can I not be angry." ”
After that, he asked Chen Yanbei again, "Chen Yanbei, where is Meng Wei now?
Chen Yanbei said with a flat face: "Your Majesty, Meng Wei drank with the Demon Sect Leader last night, drunk in Huixuan Pavilion, and was sent back to the barracks by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I am afraid that he has not woken up at this moment." ”
King Tang groaned: "You are the only one who comes back?"
"Yes. ”
Chen Yanbei bowed: "At present, only Weichen rushed back overnight and informed His Majesty of this matter as soon as possible." ”
King Tang held his forehead with one hand and let out a long sigh: "Meng Wei, this reckless man, I have already reminded him that if he drinks and makes a mistake, he should rub his sharp spirit." ”
"Your Majesty is right. ”
For Meng Wei, Chen Yanbei is also helpless.
If Meng Wei hadn't been drunk last night and stayed sober, he would have been able to at least confront the Demon Sect Master head-on with his strength.
can ensure Li Bijun's safety to a large extent.
It can also delay for a period of time and create a chance for Li Bijun to escape.
But alas, it backfired.
I didn't expect that Xiao Buyu and the others would trespass on Huixuan Pavilion.
King Tang tried his best to calm his anger, looked at Liu Ce and said, "What do you think about Bijun?"
Liu Ce said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Demon Sect is full of tricks, and the crimes we have committed over the years are too numerous to mention, even if we cut Hanzhou into love with it, the Demon Sect will probably not let Her Royal Highness the Princess go." ”
"Besides......"
Liu Ce wanted to speak and stopped.
King Tang's expression was grim: "What's more?"
Liu Ce's face tightened and said: "Besides, there are many cunning and lustful people in the Demon Sect, Her Royal Highness the Princess has now fallen into the hands of this group of demons, which is equivalent to entering the mouth of the tiger, I am afraid that I will ......"
"Weichen is really worried about what happened to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
Liu Ce's face was not provoked.
The words were not complete, but everyone present understood the meaning of Liu Ce's words.
"Your Majesty. ”
An elderly lieutenant stepped out of the ranks and spoke.
"Her Royal Highness the princess was captured by the Demon Sect, and she must have suffered a lot. Weichen is willing to lead troops to Hanzhou to recapture Her Royal Highness as soon as possible. ”
"Captain Xu, you are confused. ”
Liu Ce said in a deep voice: "Don't you know what strength the Demon Sect has? With your little man, you don't want to save people, but to give them away!"
Xu Taiwei glared at Liu Ce, and then said to King Tang: "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess was raised by Weichen, and Weichen must not let her suffer any grievances outside!"
"Even if the hope is slim, Weichen is willing to go to the soup and beg His Majesty for permission. ”
"A handful of old bones, I don't know whether I live or die. ”
Seeing that Taiwei Xu insisted on this, Liu Ce muttered secretly.
"Alright. ”
King Tang opened his mouth and said: "Taiwei Xu, you have always taken good care of Bijun, as if you were your own daughter, I am deeply grateful. But you still have something to do, and you can't leave the Imperial Capital. Regarding the candidate for this army, I have my own plans, and Her Royal Highness the princess must also return to the palace safely. ”
"Your Majesty, listen to the old minister. ”
Liu Ce opened his mouth and said: "If Your Majesty wants to exchange Hanzhou for Her Royal Highness the Princess, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Prime Minister Liu, what do you mean by this?"
King Tang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Liu Ce condescendingly.
Xu Taiwei and other ministers also focused their eyes on Liu Ce.
Liu Ce sighed and said: "The Demon Sect dares to hold Her Royal Highness the princess hostage and blackmail Her Majesty to give up Hanzhou, it must be because you know Your Majesty's love for Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
"Forgive the old minister's courage to say it, even if Your Majesty redeems Her Royal Highness the Princess with Hanzhou as the Demon Sect wishes, it is difficult to guarantee that the Demon Sect will repeat its old tricks in the future, and once again threaten Her Royal Highness the Princess, or a certain prince, so that Your Majesty will cede the land and redeem people, and even ask for the Jade Tang River. ”
Liu Ce said in an accentuated tone: "So the old minister thinks that this approach is really inappropriate, and the old minister can't agree with it." ”
When Tang Wang heard this, he rubbed his temples with one hand and fell into deep thought.
Liu Ce's words are indeed reasonable.
Food for thought.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Prime Minister Liu Cheng said is reasonable, we must not condone the arrogance of the Demon Sect and cut out of Hanzhou. ”
Some ministers echoed Liu Ce's statement.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter must not fulfill the wish of the Demon Sect. ”
"We must not give up Hanzhou. ”
Taiwei Xu glanced at several ministers who seconded the proposal, and said with trembling hands: "You ...... You don't care about the life and death of the princess, do you still have her as a princess in your eyes?"
"Captain Xu, don't I want to rescue the princess?"
"The masters of the Demon Sect are like clouds, and the three holy lands are all retreating, not daring to attack. ”
"Some time ago, according to the front-line battle report, the more than 60,000 troops of the Black Sword Royal Court all surrendered to the demon sect under the demon flame, and they were in the same stream as the demon sect, and this power alone should not be underestimated. What if we cede the land and give up Hanzhou, and the Demon Sect finally betrays its word and refuses to release people?"
"Have you thought about it?"
"Alas, Captain Xu, this is not child's play......"
The ministers sighed.
Listening to these remarks, Xu Taiwei was speechless for a while, so he had to bow down to the king of Tang with a plop.
"I beg Your Majesty to take Her Royal Highness the princess back to the palace, she is your own flesh and blood! ”
"Shut up!"
Listening to the chirping of the court, Tang Wang was a little impatient, and he only felt restless in his heart.
Seeing that King Tang was furious, the ministers hurriedly silenced one by one.
"Chen Yanbei, you say. ”
King Tang turned his gaze and sought Chen Yanbei's opinion.
"Should I give up Hanzhou?"
Chen Yanbei said calmly: "If you want to forcibly recapture Her Royal Highness the Princess, this is tantamount to pronouncing the death sentence of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the Demon Sect will definitely kill the killer and not let me wait for my wish." ”
"And what do you mean?"
King Tang muttered: "Do you want to change people?"
Chen Yanbei confessed: "If you lose Hanzhou, you still have a chance to regain it, and if you lose Her Royal Highness the Princess, everything will not be able to return to the sky." ”
"The Demon Sect Leader once said that he would not embarrass Her Royal Highness the Princess, let alone hurt her in the slightest. ”
Understanding the meaning of Chen Yanbei's words, King Tang became even more determined in the idea of cutting the land.
The ministers below also pondered.
Some people agreed with Chen Yanbei's words and agreed to change them back to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Some people also think that Tang Wang's love for children is more important than feelings.
"Hmph, the Demon Sect Master, the big devil, has never been a good person, how can you believe his words?
"Who knows if you've colluded with the Demon Sect Master?"
Liu Ce sneered again and again, and sneered at Chen Yanbei's belief in the Demon Sect Master's words.
He even suspected that Chen Yanbei and the Demon Sect Leader were in cahoots to seek benefits.
After all, the head of the Great Inner was slaughtered by the Demon Sect, why could Chen Yanbei survive unharmed?
"You're questioning me?"
Chen Yanbei's eyes were like knives, staring straight at Liu Ce.
A killing intent emanated from Chen Yanbei's body, rippling out, making Liu Ce's face change.
