Chapter 158: Assassination
Qinghe looked at Zhang Sui's almost crazy demeanor, sighed, and said: "The experience of the emperor is indeed sad, this palace promises you, he will become the prince of the palace one day, and when he ascends to the throne of the prince, it is also the time when the emperor realizes his wish." The palace will exhort the prince and the king of Qi to agree, not only let the emperor stand in front of the eight dragons, but also announce to the world that the emperor will not only be the current son's teacher in the future, but also the future king of Qi's teacher. ”
Zhang Sui turned around, knelt down excitedly to the Qinghe clan, and said, "Thank you, princess." ”
"Don't fight, everyone knows, the position of deputy general of the city defense has extraordinary significance for each of you. However, there is only one position, which can only be filled by one person. Just when Zhang Sui and the Qinghe clan reached a unity, the angry voice of the King of Qi swirled in the main hall.
Qinghe nodded at Zhang Sui, who raised his head, and pointed at King Qi, meaning that King Qi was angry, don't be bored now, hurry up and sit down.
Zhang Sui cast a grateful glance at the Qinghe clan, and sat upright, looking through the curtain and looking at the main hall.
At this time, Qi Jing, the third prince of Qi, Yang Feng, the prime minister, and Li Yi, the chief lieutenant, stood side by side, and Cheng Wen and Cheng Wu knelt aside.
Qi Jing, who was originally red-faced, Yang Feng and Li Yi were silent at the moment.
King Qi looked down at the three of them, changed his tone, and said, "Seriously, the widow has never been as happy as today. ”
"If it was before, the people who could put forward a suitable position for this position must be the prime minister and the captain."
"But today, your third son actually found such an outstanding martial artist for the widow."
King Qi smiled and said to Yang Feng and Li Yi: "Young people, you need encouragement to be motivated. I think that back then, before the widow was established as the son, every praise from his father could make the widow full of confidence and motivation. ”
Yang Feng and Li Yi glanced at each other, and Yang Feng said: "When the great general Tian Dan went to the border to fight against Zhao State, he once mentioned a suitable candidate. Now that the general is victorious, king, should we take the general's opinion into account? ”
King Qi's face suddenly became a little ugly, and he suppressed his roar: "Enough! What is the relationship between the general's victory and the deputy general of the city defense? When the general returned to Linzi, the widow had his own reward. Don't talk about it, the matter of city defense ends here, and Cheng Wen, the king of Tiwu, is the captain of the guard and serves as the deputy general of the city government. ”
Yang Feng and Li Yi sighed slightly, but still lowered their heads.
Qi Jing's face showed a look of joy, and he hurriedly kicked Cheng Wen's ass not far in front of him with his foot.
Cheng Wen understood, prostrated on the ground, and said loudly: "King Xie, the minister Cheng Wen must do his best to repay the hard work of the third prince and the king of Qi." ”
King Qi was very happy and said to his ministers: "Go and bring the identity token of the deputy general of the city defense." ”
The minister answered, turned around and disappeared into the main hall.
King Qi gently patted his thigh with his right hand, and pointed at Cheng Wu next to Cheng Wen: "Cheng Weiwei, you said just now, how old is Brother Ling?" What kind of cultivation is coming? ”
Cheng Wen said respectfully: "Brother Cheng Wu, there are two ten-year-old ones this year, and he is a lower-level martial artist. ”
"Yes, very good." King Qi nodded and praised: "Cheng Weiwei came to this council hall with Brother Ling, presumably your two brothers have a very good relationship." In the future, as long as he becomes a talent like you, the widow will reuse him. ”
Qi Jing was ecstatic.
Cheng Wen and Cheng Wu bowed respectfully once, and said loudly, "King Xie." ”
Prime Minister Yang Feng and Captain Li Yi both looked a little ugly.
King Qi's words mean that in the future, he will deprive all sides of power and promote the power of the third prince, Qi Jing.
The two couldn't help but have some doubts, could it be that King Qi was preparing to establish a son?
After a while, the ministers came to the vicinity of King Qi with a jade box.
King Qi personally took the jade box, stood up, stepped off the dragon chair, and walked towards Cheng Wen.
Seeing that he had reached the position of ten steps, Tian Ji hurriedly stood up and said: "Great King, according to the law of my Great Qi, the king rewards or appoints courtiers, unless there are great achievers, for the safety of the king, they must not come within ten steps. ”
A trace of impatience flashed in King Qi's eyes when he looked at Tian Ji, but he still stopped, beckoned to the ministers, and said, "You come here, give the identity token of the deputy general of the city government to Cheng Weiwei." ”
"Oh, my lord." The minister replied respectfully and stepped forward.
Zhang Sui sat up straighter, his body slightly straightened, and his eyes stared at Cheng Wen.
In the main hall, seeing that King Qi was about to turn around, a loud shout came out of Cheng Wen's mouth: "Do it!" ”
A dagger that flashed with cold light flashed away, and it was killed in front of King Qi in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Sui's pupils shrank slightly, could it be that King Qi really wanted to die in Huangquan today?
"Poof!"
A long sword appeared strangely and was in front of King Qi. The dagger stabbed into the sword, and the flames flew everywhere.
In front of King Qi, an old man in gorgeous clothes suddenly appeared.
Cheng Wen wiped his hands on his waist, held a dagger in each hand, and said to Cheng Wu while rushing to kill the old man in Huafu: "Xiao Wu, kill the King of Qi!" ”
Cheng Wu also held two daggers in both hands and rushed towards King Qi.
King Qi was so frightened that he hurriedly ran towards the dragon chair, shouting and shouting, "Help!" ”
In the main hall, it suddenly became a pot of porridge!
No one thought that under their noses, such a thing as assassination would happen!
Qi Jing was stunned and collapsed directly to the ground.
Tian Ji and a cadre of generals, all holding weapons in their hands, killed Cheng Wen and Cheng Wu.
Outside the council chamber, there was a roar, and the sound was endless.
Zhang Sui turned his head and saw that Qinghe's expression had not changed much, and he gradually had an idea in his heart.
Standing up, Zhang Sui patted his clothes.
Qinghe said with a smile: "Where are you going, Emperor?" ”
"Help." Zhang Sui said expressionlessly.
The Qinghe clan nodded and said, "This palace is waiting for the emperor to be fast." ”
Zhang Sui walked to the curtain, and in the main hall, Cheng Wen was completely blocked by the old man in Chinese clothes.
Nishang said: "Master, this old man's aura is so deeply hidden, Nishang didn't even notice his existence before. ”
Zhang Sui did not respond to Nishang's reply, but just lifted the curtain, wiped his hands around his waist, and put an extra gold-inlaid longbow and a feather arrow in his hand.
Cheng Wu killed in front of the King of Qi, and the ministers blocked in front of the King of Qi in a panic, and were stabbed in the chest by Cheng Wu with a dagger, killing him on the spot.
And King Qi took this opportunity to get under the dragon chair.
Cheng Wu kicked away the dead ministers, and was just about to rush up to kill the King of Qi, when Tian Ji and other generals had already rushed up to surround Cheng Wu.
Outside the main hall, hundreds of guards wearing golden armor rushed up and surrounded Cheng Wen.
Zhang Sui stood at the curtain, watching Cheng Wen and Cheng Wu under the siege of everyone, blood dripping in the blink of an eye, and a sense of powerlessness was born in his heart for the first time.
No matter how powerful a warrior is, when facing a siege ten times that of a warrior or an army, or a hundred times the siege, he can only hate on the spot.
Zhang Sui held the bow in his right hand, took the arrow in his left hand, the bowstring was full, and the arrow pointed directly at Cheng Wen.
"King Qi, you faint and weak dog thief! You are not qualified to sit in the position of King of Qi, the third prince is the master of my Great Qi! ”
Cheng Wen, who was covered in blood, was stunned and roared.
With the assistance of dozens of guards, the old man in Huafu cut off Cheng Wen's right leg with a sword!
Cheng Wen let out a miserable scream, but the movements in his hands continued.
Even with only one foot, his figure slowed down a lot, but he was still able to shuttle back and forth surrounded by guards.
The guards died under his dagger, and immediately a guard was added.
Zhang Sui sighed, and the five fingers of his left hand were loosened.
A wolf howl resounded throughout the hall.
Cheng Wen's figure, who was leaping towards a guard with one leg and stabbing him in the chest with a dagger, stopped abruptly.
In the center of his back, a bowl-sized hole was bubbling with blood pouring out.
"Kill!"
Seeing this, the guards stabbed Cheng Wen's body with dozens of spears.
Zhang Sui turned his gaze to the other side, and Cheng Wu was slashed off by a middle-aged general.
The assassination came suddenly, but it also failed even more quickly.
The civil and military officials of the Qi Kingdom in the main hall wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads one by one.
The guards retreated from the hall like a tidal wave.
Dozens of palace maids appeared in the main hall, dragging away the corpses and cleaning the bloodstains.
Zhang Sui stood outside the curtain, motionless.
King Qi sat on the dragon chair, his eyes full of panic.
