Chapter 178: Barbarian Invasion

It has been a month since the Seven Great Returns to the Void to assassinate the second prince, and thanks to the insects of the Emperor Fu Tieniu, the corpse has been properly disposed of, and there have been no serious consequences such as plague. Except for the player who later committed suicide causing a bit of trouble, everything else was calm.

The rest of the people in the capital didn't even find out that the prince sent someone to assassinate the second prince, and on the surface, it seemed that today's capital was another peaceful day, except for another quarrel in the court over the affairs of the barbarians.

A few days ago, the proposal to make peace with the barbarians was opposed by King Zhaoyang with his real name. This bigwig, who has not been in court for more than ten years, in front of all the ministers of civil and military affairs, whipped the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who proposed to make peace to his face.

Not only was his face swollen, but his teeth were gone.

Although he had already been mentally prepared, the prince also specially arranged for a Shangshu to be the first bird, but when he saw the picture of blood splashing, he was still shocked. Beat a Shangshu above the court, and no one dared to say half a word.

Even the guards in charge of guarding the palace only worshiped the majesty of King Zhaoyang, and didn't even look at the beaten Rite Shangshu.

King Zhaoyang's power and martial arts made the prince feel powerless. The reason why he sent the Seven Great Masters to assassinate him was because he knew that King Zhaoyang would no longer be able to control the situation as soon as he came out.

The only thing that relieved the crown prince was that King Zhaoyang did not show his support for the second prince to succeed to the throne above the court. Because of this, the crown prince is still the crown prince, but the second prince is no longer the second prince before.

The prince sent someone to assassinate the second prince, and the seven masters who returned to the void never returned. The so-called impermeable wall in the world can hide this from the common people, but it cannot hide from a few well-informed ministers in the DPRK.

The prince slept with a few women at night and dropped a few teacups

This matter can't be said on the bright side, but everyone knows in their hearts that the strength shown by the second prince is stronger than everyone imagined.

Let the seven return realms have no return, and the only one in the capital who can use this kind of power is Zhaoyang Palace. Although I don't know why King Zhaoyang didn't make it clear that the second prince was on the throne, his attitude seemed to be obvious.

In this way, shouldn't it be time to change the allegiance of a master?

The second prince did not act aggressively, but comforted the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who was swollen from his face. This gesture seemed even more successful in the eyes of others, making the ministers on the prince's side look like ashes.

In the past few days, the second prince is fighting for those ministers who were originally neutral or have left the scene little by little, and little by little they are eating away at the prince's power. The second prince didn't dare to be too anxious, for fear that others would see that King Zhaoyang actually did not support him as emperor.

The more bottomless you are, the more you have to show your calmness, so that more people can misjudge the situation and then become your own help. When the second prince completely stabilizes his power, they won't be able to run away even if they know the truth.

And as time passed, the situation on the barbarian's side became more and more severe. was killed as a messenger, and was made into a public enemy of players by Xu Lin's killing order, and it can be said that it is very difficult to live these days.

Players are not afraid of death, and they will not tell you anything about decency. In order to complete the task, this group of people can really use any means. What sneaks into assassinations, disguises and set fires, these are trifles.

The more ruthless local tyrant players went directly to the Kongsang faction to buy poison, and then went down to the well in the barbarian village, and died a large piece.

This trick is a desperate plan, although a large number of rewards have been swiped, but I also got a task hint, saying that this is harmful to heaven and harmony, and a small amount of sin value has been generated. This judgment is probably that the barbarians have done too much evil, so directly poisoning a village is only a small warning of evil, and there is no sanction.

But what about red names for players?

There is only one counterweight to the player's slaughter of the village - the poison is too expensive, and it is sold in limited quantities. The kind of poison that can download the well to poison a village of people is very expensive, each one costs thousands of taels of silver, that is, a thousand yuan, and ordinary people really can't spend so much to do a task.

The amount of this poison is still very small, after all, there are few people who use it on weekdays.

As a result, after poisoning the two villages, the players ran out of medicine, and the barbarians officially sent troops. This army is dispatched, and the players are killed and wounded heavily. Of course, the barbarian soldiers are not masters, they are strong men who have practiced a few simple moves, but they are trained regular troops, and there are quite a lot of them.

Set two traps, and the player is quite uncomfortable.

Although players are not afraid of death, there are not many players who can revive with a thousand pieces each time. If you don't spend money on resurrection, the player's strength will drop significantly.

The barbarians officially sent troops, but the soldiers of Tiannan Province were a little slow to react. After all, it had been mixed up for several years, and suddenly there was no power to fight back, and Tiannan Province directly fell to a county seat.

After the five thousand barbarian soldiers entered the city, if they wanted to vent their mouths, they had to slaughter the city to retaliate. But after entering the city, I found that the county town that had been beaten down did not know when there was not even a single common man, and it was completely an empty city.

Immediately after, flames erupted from various locations in the county, and the entire county was already filled with fire-starters. Although it was not as exaggerated as the Samadhi True Fire, it was also a thick smoke that made these barbarian soldiers scream.

In a panic, these barbarian soldiers wanted to withdraw from the county along the original road, but they were killed by Mo Xiong with a thousand of his own soldiers. These 1,000 people fought with the momentum of 10,000 people, and the 5,000 barbarian soldiers only ran away at most a hundred, and the others were all cut off and placed as Jingguan.

Mo Xiong is a shadow son arranged by the second prince, promising to protect the people of Tiannan Province from the barbarians. When the second prince gains power, the help he can provide in Tiannan Province will be even greater, and he will just take advantage of the carelessness of the barbarians to fight a big victory.

Standing in front of this Jingguan, Mo Xiong sighed.

The soldiers next to him asked, "Why is the general sighing, we have won a big battle." ”

"Because, although we have won the battle, we cannot report our military merits to your brothers. On the contrary, I would like to tell the court that we have fought a great defeat. Hundreds of defenders in this county town were killed and wounded, and tens of thousands of people were also slaughtered by barbarians. ”

"But, we won!" The young soldier didn't understand why.

"Because my master needs the news of the barbarian invasion to spread, I want to make He Tianhua, the governor of Tiannan Province, a sinner for the ages, and the prince who recommended He Tianhua anxious, and then pull the prince down from the position of the prison country."

"It's a reversal of black and white!" The young pro-soldier said in surprise.

Mo Xiong sighed again, he was also helpless. He's just a military man and doesn't like this kind of machination. But the second prince gave him the opportunity to make contributions, so he could only act according to the plan of the second prince.

After thinking about it, the young soldier said again: "However, His Royal Highness seems to have a good heart. In fact, he didn't need us to do anything at all, and directly let the barbarians slaughter the city, isn't that more realistic? ”

Mo Xiong was stunned, then smiled and said, "Yes, we followed the right master this time." So, cheer me up, this battle has just begun. ”
