Chapter 222: Xue Lu, It's Innocent to Die!
Jin Yiwei, this night, is destined to shock the entire imperial city.
A few days after His Majesty the Emperor of the Chixiao Kingdom issued an order to set up the 'Jinyi Guard', the Jinyi Guard killed the 'Xue Lu', the commander of the city guards......
Jinyiwei's actions also frightened many people in the imperial city.
These people are almost all people who have had a holiday with Duan Lingtian.
The residence of the Three Princes.
"Smack!"
In the building in the middle of the lake, the third prince, who had just heard the report from his subordinates, had an extremely gloomy face, and the wine glass in his hand was smashed by him.
Some of the young talents present couldn't help but tremble.
"Everyone, let's disperse today, and meet again next time. ”
The third prince took a deep breath and opened his mouth to send off the guests.
After all the young talents present left, the eyes of the third prince flashed, and the cold light was awe-inspiring, "Since I am already like fire and water with him, I don't need to be polite to him, I will definitely extinguish his arrogance...... You go and prepare, tomorrow morning, I will enter the palace to meet my father!"
"Yes. ”
The subordinate was commanded to depart.
"Duan Lingtian, do you really think that with a small contribution, you can be unscrupulous? I want to see how my father will punish you!"
The voice of the third prince seemed to come from under the Nine Shadows, and it was extremely cold.
The Mansion of the Five Princes.
In the pavilion, the white-eyed old man respectfully reported to the five princes what was spreading outside.
"What? That Ling Tian actually killed Xue Lu with his brocade guards?"
The fifth prince was also taken aback, and his face immediately sank, "He really has no scruples and is crazy!"
"Your Highness, I heard that the person who made the attack was a brocade guard under him, and that brocade guard should be the existence of the 'Yuan Infant Realm Ninefold'. ”
The white-eyed old man was also a little jealous when he spoke.
It seems that Shenweihou is still worried about his friendship with Duan Rufeng back then...... Unexpectedly, he was so generous that he also sent a ninefold martial artist of the Yuanying Realm to Duan Lingtian to drive. ”
The eyes of the fifth prince flashed with coldness, and his tone was depressed and low.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
The white-eyed old man asked.
"Hmph, I don't have to do anything now. Early tomorrow morning, I will enter the palace to meet my father, this time Ling Tian is too bold, even the commander of the city guard army dares to kill ...... Tomorrow, my father will definitely remove him from his position as the 'Commander of the Jinyi Guard'!"
The fifth prince waved his sleeves, and his voice was indifferent.
"Your Highness is wise. ”
The white-eyed old man nodded.
Prime Minister's Office.
Gu Youting sat at the stone table in the front yard, quietly savoring the fragrant tea.
Soon, a hurried figure roared in, and said respectfully: "Xiangye, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, 'Duan Lingtian', took his Jinyi Guard, and killed the leader of the City Guard, 'Xue Lu'!"
"Xue Lu?"
Gu Youting raised his eyebrows, "It's just a reckless man...... However, this Xue Lu's father is not simple. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)"
In muttering to himself, a trace of cold luster flashed in Gu Youting's eyes.
The next day, as soon as Duan Lingtian came to the Jinyi Guard's foothold, he was summoned into the palace.
It was still that glorious palace, Duan Lingtian stepped into it and found that in the palace, in addition to the emperor sitting on the throne of Jinluan and the prime minister 'Gu Youting' standing on the side, there were two people standing on the side.
These two people, Duan Lingtian is no stranger.
Three princes, five princes!
Although he guessed that the emperor should have summoned him to the palace for last night's incident, he didn't expect that the three princes and the five princes, who were competing with each other on weekdays, were now tacitly 'united' together for him.
It seems that his face is quite big.
"I've seen Your Majesty. ”
Duan Lingtian looked at the emperor and nodded slightly.
"Presumptuous!"
The faces of the third prince and the fifth prince changed drastically, and they scolded.
"Presumptuous?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the two of them and smiled faintly, "Two princes, but I don't know how I am presumptuous?"
"Duan Lingtian, when you see His Majesty the Emperor, you don't kneel, isn't this presumptuous?"
The third prince said in a deep voice.
"Seeing His Majesty the Emperor, not kneeling is a great crime of disrespect! Duan Lingtian, do you know the guilt?"
The five princes also followed.
Faced with the words of the two, Duan Lingtian ignored them, and instead looked at the emperor.
"Alright, you brothers, shut up. ”
The Emperor spoke.
"Father!"
The third prince and the fifth prince were stunned for a moment, and looked at the emperor with a puzzled expression.
The emperor said lightly: "I have promised Commander Duan that if he sees me in the future, he can avoid kneeling...... You two, there's no need to make a fuss. ”
Skip the kneeling?
The pupils of the third prince and the fifth prince shrank, and their faces were shocked.
They didn't expect that their father, the Emperor, would treat Duan Ling Tian so kindly......
However, thinking of what Duan Lingtian had done yesterday, they must have it in their hearts.
In their opinion, just yesterday's events were enough to make Duan Ling Tian fall from heaven to hell, and he would never be able to turn over!
"Okay, now that Commander Duan has arrived, what do you two have to say?"
The emperor looked at the third prince and the fifth prince and asked lightly.
"Father, this Ling Tian has been valued by you, and he was even canonized by you as the 'Commander of the Jinyi Guard', he should have set an example and served my royal family...... Who knows, yesterday evening, he actually broke into the camp of the city guards and killed the commander 'Xue Lu'!"
The third prince looked angry, "Father, Commander Xue Lu is the pillar of the country, but he died in the hands of this ignorant child, I hope that Father Emperor will uphold justice for Commander Xue Lu!"
"Yes, Father, Duan Lingtian killed Xue Lu's commander, the crime was extremely heinous, and the son hoped that his father would remove him from his position as the 'Commander of the Jinyi Guard' and punish him heavily, so as to set an example. ”
The five princes also cooperated in asking for help.
From beginning to end, Duan Lingtian had a calm face, and he didn't seem to take the matter in front of him to heart at all.
In fact, he really didn't take what was in front of him to heart.
For him, it's just a farce!
"Commander Duan, what's going on?"
The emperor's gaze fell on Duan Lingtian's body.
Seeing the emperor's calm gaze, Duan Lingtian understood that the emperor definitely didn't just know about it, it was estimated that he already knew about it last night, and now he was just acting in front of the third prince and the fifth prince.
The emperor's gaze seemed to be mixed with a hint of meaning.
Duan Ling Tian saw through what this hint of meaning meant, and the emperor wanted him to give a step......
Although, it was impossible for the emperor to punish him for the antidote pill that only he could refine.
But the emperor is the emperor after all, with supreme majesty, and now, the emperor needs a step down.
"Your Majesty. ”
Duan Lingtian gave the emperor a clear look, and said slowly: "The gap between me and Xue Lu is all because of his son 'Xue Lang', presumably Your Majesty has also heard of it...... However, Your Majesty, you don't know that nearly five months ago, on my way out of the Imperial City with the Red Jiao Army and heading to the Northwest Frontier, there was a man who wanted to kill me!"
"It is conceivable that if that person succeeds, I will not be able to cooperate with the border army and the Chijiao army to capture the 'Southern Barbarian City' and raise the prestige of my Chixiao Kingdom!"
Duan Ling Tian spoke.
"And such a thing?"
The emperor's face sank, "Do you know who that person is?"
Duan Lingtian nodded, "That's exactly what I'm going to talk about...... That person, a member of the City Guards, was ordered by Xue Lu, the commander of the City Guards, to infiltrate the Red Jiao Army, intending to intercept me and avenge him!"
"Nonsense!"
"Tell the truth!"
The third prince and the fifth prince spoke almost at the same time.
It's just that, under the emperor's majestic gaze, the two closed their mouths.
You continue. ”
The Emperor looked at Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian nodded, "Your Majesty, I know that the two princes suspect that what I said is false...... But this matter, yesterday in the camp of the city guards, was personally admitted by the commander 'Xue Lu'. I didn't want to do anything to him, I just wanted to ask him for a 'shock fee', shouldn't it be an exaggeration?"
However, Xue Lu did not appreciate it and threatened to kill me and my Jinyi guards...... Thousands of soldiers in the city guard camp had heard all this, and if the two princes didn't believe it, they could go and investigate. ”
Duan Lingtian said that later, he looked at the third prince and the fifth prince.
The latter's face sank.
Duan Lingtian continued: "In the end, in order to protect myself, I can only let my Jinyi guards preemptively kill Xue Lu...... Otherwise, it will only be me and a group of brocade guards under me who will die, and please ask Your Majesty to be clear. ”
The Emperor nodded.
That's when it happened.
"Father!"
A voice like a silver bell came, and immediately you could see a shadow of the country and the city, surrounded by two palace maids, and walked in quickly.
This is a girl, the girl has a peerless appearance, just one glance, people can't help but get lost in it.
"Princess Baguio. ”
Duan Lingtian was a little surprised, he didn't expect to see Princess Baguio here.
"Baguio, you're in such a hurry...... But what's the urgency?"
When the emperor saw Princess Baguio, his face showed a hint of kindness, which he did not have when facing the third prince and the fifth prince.
It is enough to show how much he loves this little daughter.
"Father, I heard that you want to punish Commander Duan, right? Father, can you not punish Commander Duan, he will not kill people for no reason. ”
Princess Baguio said a little breathlessly.
For a moment, everyone present was stunned.
No one thought that Princess Baguio came in such a hurry to intercede for Duan Lingtian.
The faces of the third prince and the fifth prince were extremely gloomy.
As for the emperor, he took a deep look at Duan Lingtian, he was from the past, and he could see that his daughter should have a 'secret promise' to this young man of the same age.
Otherwise, they would not have forcibly entered this 'Golden Luan Palace'.
"Baguio, who said that the father emperor was going to punish Commander Duan?"
The emperor shook his head and smiled, "Commander Duan has just explained, he is not wrong in this matter, it is the fault of the commander of the city's guards, 'Xue Lu'...... Xue Lu, it's more than innocent to die!"
Hearing the emperor's words, the third prince and the fifth prince knew that they had come in vain today.
When Princess Baguio heard the emperor's words, her pretty face turned crimson, she didn't expect that she would come in a hurry, and it would be such a result.
It turned out that even if she didn't come, Duan Lingtian would be fine.
For a moment, she was a little embarrassed.
"You two!"
The emperor's gaze quickly shifted to the third prince and the fifth prince, and said coldly: "Next time, don't bother me again until the matter is investigated!"
