Chapter 38: The Death of Prince Shotoku
In, the war is still going on, and it is said that this battle has been fought for nearly half a month, and there is still no winner or loser? Well, it's really not the author who is dragging the show (really?). The main reason is that the Taira Shogun doesn't know why, but he hasn't shown up, and except for the cheerful fight of the Emperor's Army and the Peace Family, the other forces are all cold-eyed and mentally encouraged every day.
And after seeing this situation, the Emperor's army and the pacifist were very clever to stop the large-scale war, and turned it into a small fight of dozens or hundreds of people every day. Well, in fact, although Kusunoki Masari and others suppressed the Taira family, but because Taira Kiyomori was in Kusunoki Masari and others were overwhelmed, suddenly a general and elite raided them, and the unprepared Kusunoki Masari and others didn't want to expose their true strength at this time, after all, compared to the Hei family in front of them, other forces that watched the show obviously needed more attention. So, under the push of the boat, they directly withdrew their troops.
The Heike main camp, Kiso Yoshinaka and Hosokawa Masamoto, as usual, ran over to congratulate them, and by the way, they ate and drank, and went back very chic. This attitude obviously made the students of the Pingjiao Sutra, who have always been known for their calmness, angry.
"Uncle! These two guys are just too much! It's better for us to ......" Pingjiao Jing roared angrily, but he held back his words halfway through. Well, just now I yelled in such a hurry, in fact, the Heikyo Sutra is very clear that if you turn against the Kiso family and the Hosokawa family at this time, even with the help of the Heishomon, the Heike family will not see the sun tomorrow.
"Hehe, Jiaojing, your recent qi cultivation kung fu is not good~ Come here, let's have a drink first~" Ping Qingsheng smiled and handed over a bowl of wine.
"Alas! I really don't know how long this boring war will last, and how can other forces be idle while we waste time? Ping Jiaojing sat next to Ping Qingsheng, took the wine bowl handed over by Ping Qingsheng casually, and dried it in one bite, obviously, he is in a very, very bad mood now.
"Don't rush...... No matter how the times change, the forces here in will always be the strongest, so no matter how the other forces are aligned, they will not be the opponents of the last ruler. Ping Kiyomori said lightly, Well, that's right, because most of the forces that ruled were eliminated because of internal chaos.
And now, if other forces dare to take advantage of this opportunity to attack, they will definitely be killed by the joint efforts of several other idle daimyos. The land of is not something that ordinary people can touch!
"Alas......" Hei Jiaojing sighed, and he didn't know if he was sighing that the Hei family had once again gone to a point of no return, or if Taira Kiyomori had too much confidence in Ping Jiangmen.
To be honest, although Heikyo was indeed excited about the arrival of Heishomon at first, it was only after he said that he had taken refuge in the Great Snake that that mood had already changed to worry, and the fact was indeed going in the direction of his fears, and the Heike family once again went to the opposite side of the whole of humanity. Although both Ping Qingsheng and Ping Jiangmen emphasized that they were just using the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes. It's just that...... Is the Eight Miscellaneous Snake so easy to use? And are other strong people so easy to fool?
Kamiyama, in the face of the Snow Maiden's worries, Yaki just explained with a charming smile, "Snow Maiden, don't worry, I have expected these things a long time ago, and I also sent people to those places early, you don't think that after I only sent Heishomen alone to to make ghosts, I completely ignored those humans, right?" Yaqi's tone of voice was so gentle, I really couldn't tell that this girl was actually the number one devil in this book.
Well, if she did appear like this, I'm afraid most of humanity would willingly fall under her pomegranate skirt. Women, there has never been a way to overthrow the country, only to bring disaster to the country......
"Really? Lord? The Snow Girl looked at Yaki in surprise and asked, apparently she had no idea that Yaki had left a hand.
"Of course it's true, how could I lie to my Xiaoxue?" Yaqi suddenly didn't know what spell he used, and suddenly floated in front of the Snow Girl, looked at the Snow Girl in an unusually coquettish tone and said, all of a sudden, the Snow Girl was blushing.
"Tsk, you're so cute......" Yaki laughed, and then kissed Snow Girl's little mouth.
"Lord ......" The Snow Girl was suddenly softened by Yaqi's attack, leaning on Yaqi's arms and letting her do it, okay, this girl turned out to be Lala. Maybe that's why Tamamo is reluctant to work under Yagi?
Okay, let's not mention this guy with a problematic surname orientation, back to the issue.
Just when the war situation here in was gradually shrinking, and there was less and less trouble, an earth-shattering event suddenly happened! Well, it's really a big deal, because Prince Shotoku is dead......
In other words, everyone will die, even cultivators, although there have always been rumors of immortality among cultivators, but that is only relative to ordinary people. To put it bluntly, a cultivator's lifespan is just a little longer than that of ordinary people.
But...... Prince Shotoku obviously didn't die of natural causes, because there was no guy here who crossed over before he died, you must know that the old man who was lying on the hospital bed half dead could suddenly become vigorous.
Kyoto assessment room.
"Yagi! It must be the ghost of the Eight Snakes! You must know that Susanoo and Emperor Jimmu are brothers, and the Yachi Orochi will naturally not let go of the royal family! Not to mention Prince Shotoku?! Emperor Suiko shouted angrily. The delicate face even became distorted with anger.
"This ...... Not necessarily, maybe someone from the Hei family did it......" Next to Gen Yoritomo is obviously unwilling to let the contradictions that finally erupt return to the body of the Eight Miscellaneous Orochi, even if Emperor Tuiko is telling the truth.
"Humph! Do you think the Heike have that strength?! Sakagami Tamura Maro glanced at Minamoto Yorichao disdainfully and said, and immediately let Minamoto Yorichao swallow all the words that followed.
Well, in fact, as Sakaue Tamura Maro said, they can't think of any other suspects other than Yachi's big snake. You must know that Emperor Suiko and Prince Shotoku themselves are very powerful cultivators, and just in case, Sakagami Tamura Maro and Kusunoki Masasari have always taken turns protecting Prince Shotoku.
It's not that Sakagami Tamura Maro is making a big fuss, in fact, in this era, almost all the strong people are doing the same thing, and all day long, this group of bosses has at least one of their strongest people around them to protect themselves. There is no way, there are too many strong people in this world, and one person ...... I really don't have much sense of security, after all, they are not the dream evil kid, and they have the strength of perverts.
And even if it's a dream evil kid, there are countless strong people around him all day long, although ...... Ahem...... The purpose is not to protect ......
On the day of the accident, it was because the two of them had gone out to fight at the Peace House, and Prince Shotoku was alone in the inner room to check the recent information. Well, how do you say it? Originally, Prince Shotoku had always been on the front line to watch the battle, but the facts of the current battle were nothing to look at, so Prince Shotoku ran back by himself. Who would have thought that just such a careless mistake would make a big mistake.
In the short time of half a pillar of incense, when Emperor Suiko reacted, he had already found that Prince Shotoku was not by his side, and he immediately became anxious. It's not that this girl's reaction is sensitive, it's just that in this era, the strong are just a sense of crisis.
Tragically, when they finally found Prince Shotoku, the most virtuous monarch was already lying in a pool of blood, with an unusually shocked face on his face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although it is said that the Heike family does not have that strength, it does not mean that others do not, if you know the whereabouts of Prince Shotoku......" Ashikaga Son's words instantly shocked everyone, this is too much, doesn't this mean that everyone is suspicious? After all, it is still very easy for these people to know the whereabouts of Prince Shotoku, and in this way, even if Prince Shotoku is very strong, it is still very simple for all the forces here to kill Prince Shotoku quietly.
"Not bad! It's possible! You must know that Prince Shotoku's face was full of shock, or rather...... I can't believe it. If the other party is a demon beast or someone else, then Prince Shotoku can't have this expression. Only familiar people! That's it! Yamana said as soon as he recovered from his shock.
With a "......", everyone suddenly glanced at Emperor Tuiko, but immediately lowered their heads. Well, if you say that, it is clear that Emperor Suiko is the most suspicious, because there is no one here who is more familiar with Prince Shotoku than her. But if it's true, then I'm afraid it has nothing to do with Yagi, it's just a battle within the royal family, this kind of thing...... Ahem...... There have been many since ancient times.
If this is the case, Sakaue Tamura Maro is disappointed, but he can't say anything, after all, they are just royalists, and they are protecting the emperor and not the crown prince. And the Ashikaga Honshi, they are naturally happy that the royal family has its own problems.
"Yes, I'm naturally suspicious, but it's not something I ......did," Emperor Suiko recovered from his rage and said lightly, his flat tone didn't seem to have the slightest effect to convince others, but it inexplicably made everyone believe it.
"He is worthy of being a wise man on the same level as Prince Shotoku." Everyone thought to themselves at the same time.
Well, is this the natural aura of the emperor? One sentence is so convincing?? (To be continued.) )
