Chapter 377: The Unfilial Son (Part II)
At this time, Liu Jing's sword blade stabbed at King Zhao was blocked by another sword, and it was An Tai, the close guard of Liu Ying, King of Song Huai.
King Zhao waved his sword and turned around, the Huaiwang sword in his hand was extremely hard and sharp, and suddenly there was a "click", Liu Jing's long sword had been truncated in the middle of the Huaiwang sword.
Seeing this, Ling Fei immediately shouted, "Someone! Capture the Assassins! But there was no answer at the end of the tomb.
An Tai stabbed Ling Fei straight into the depths of the tomb with his sword, and said, "Lord Ling, those guards outside have already been knocked out by me. Instead of counting on them, ask for more blessings! ”
King Zhao took advantage of the situation to snatch the remnant sword in Liu Jing's hand, and instantly put the remnant sword on Liu Jing's neck. The blade crossed the placket of his robe, leaving a shallow trail of blood on his cold skin.
Liu Jing felt the temperature of his blood, but the pain was not in the skin, but straight into the atrium - Shu'er, in such a critical situation, you put the extremely sharp Huaiwang sword on my neck, and it didn't hurt me in the slightest, but today, the person I have always mistaken for my biological father used an ordinary residual sword to cut me......
Don't he know if he is my real father or not?
Amusing! How could he not know?
He is just like his vicious and shameless old lady, imprisoning me in the position of the king of Song and securing this corner of the world for him! In this way, he can extend the claws of the Song State to the Zhao State.
If I don't kill him today, he will kill me sooner or later, and then return to the Song Kingdom with Zhao, Chen, and Shu, who are already in his pocket...... At that time, his great achievements will be even more appalling than those of King Wu of Song. And I'm just an outcast in his hands!
Under the dim candle shadow of the tomb, Liu Jing looked coldly at King Zhao, who had a terrifying face, white clothes and white hair, and asked, "King Song Huai, what am I to you?" ”
King Zhao's voice was gentle: "Jing'er, you are a talented and courageous young man, and you are a well-deserved King of Song."
But you shouldn't be wrong again and again.
Kill me, do you think the princess of Zhao Guo will easily hand over Zhao Guo to you? Kill me, and there will be a bloody battle between Zhao and Song. And today's Zhao State is no longer the weak Zhao State of the past. The bloody battle between Zhao and Song will only lose both.
If I kill you, the Song Kingdom will collapse overnight, and civil strife will break out. I don't want the Song State to become the Chu State of twenty years ago.
Kill me, you have your reasons.
Kill you, I also have my reasons.
But for the sake of the thousands of people and all living beings in Zhao and Song, the personal grievances between you and me should be endured.
Jing'er, I'm going back to Zhao. Hello for yourself.
Listen to the words of the Father - don't cut down Chu. ”
The remnant sword fell to the ground, and outside the mausoleum, King Zhao and Antai had galloped away on horseback.

Heavy snow covered the long reed street of Zhao Guoping, Liang Ninghe Palace.
A long trail of footprints on the snow showed the hurricity of the man who was running and jumping.
At that time, Duguqing, the princess of Zhao Kingdom, was listening to the new pianist Mrs. Liu playing exquisite dance music in Xiaoxiang Garden, and the private guard suddenly came to report that His Royal Highness King Zhao had returned to the palace.
As a result, there was a long series of footprints on the long street, which went straight to King Zhao's bedroom.
Behind the screen, Su Rui saw that Princess Zhao Guo was gone, so she asked the master of the dance class Li with a narrow face: "You said, recently, the princess loves our lady's piano skills so much, and she comes to listen to music almost every day, why don't you let His Royal Highness, who is recuperating from bed, also come to listen to it?" Maybe Your Highness will be able to listen comfortably and heal from your illness? ”
Class Master Li shook his head and smiled: "Our princess is probably jealous, and she can't see a woman who is younger and more beautiful than her and more talented than her." So on this long reed street, everything is good, that is, the Xiaoxiangyuan dancers carefully selected by our princess, and they can't take out all their appearances. As for your Mrs. Liu, although she was disfigured in the Pingliang fire, she can play the piano with one hand, so naturally she can't take it out. In fact, the princess and Her Royal Highness are on an equal footing, and whoever your wife is favored is the same. ”
Su Rui waved his hand and whispered in the ear of Class Master Li: "How can this be the same?" King Zhao is a hero, my wife is amazingly talented and gorgeous......"
Class Master Li hid his face and smiled, and also said in a low voice: "Granny Su, you're not old and confused, are you?" I just said that your wife has disfigured her appearance, even if His Highness summons her, what will happen? Besides, your wife is a widow, Your Highness has not yet married a wife, there are so many young and beautiful women in the world, since Your Highness is a hero, why does your wife fall in love with you? ”
Su Rui turned his head to look at the pianist who was still stroking the qin wearing a veil and a hat, "hummed", and muttered: "Then King Zhao doesn't have a terrible face, a head full of white hair, and a body full of injuries?" Who knows what hidden disease he has, he hasn't married for many years, what a monster! Whether he is worthy of my wife or not has to be said separately! ”
Class Master Li glared at Su Rui: "You dare to talk to me about these words!" Your mouth is sharper than the knife next door! Be careful that one day your own knife cuts your own neck! ”
At this time, as soon as Xiaoqu stopped, Mrs. Liu looked up at Li Banzhu and said, "Princess Dugu holds the Zhao Guohu talisman in her hand, and the real power in her hands is greater than that of His Royal Highness King Zhao. Now that Zhao is standing side by side with Song and Chu, what is there to be jealous of the princess of Zhao? Dancers show people with dance, and their figure is more important than their appearance, and the dancers screened by the princess are all impeccable. She was just a dutiful choice, so what does it have to do with 'jealousy'? ”
Class Master Li smiled: "Mrs. Liu is too kind-hearted, so she naturally doesn't understand what 'jealousy' is. Maybe the princess is competitive, looks and talented, and wants to be the first in Zhao Kingdom? ”
Mrs. Liu shook her head, looked at Su Rui again, and said, "Maybe King Zhao has been sick for several months, but it's just a pretense, and he is probably not in the palace at all." Even if the princess wants me to play the piano for King Zhao, what is the use of not finding King Zhao? ”
Su Rui sighed: "You said that the pair of brothers and sisters of the Dugu clan really responded to the surname 'Dugu', but one did not marry, the other did not marry, and did not set up a nephew as a prince, after a hundred years of the two of them, what should Zhao Guo do?" ”
Mrs. Liu smiled lightly: "I was also a hundred years old at that time, how could I know?" ”
At this time, the girl Tingting, who had passed the cardamom years, walked around the screen lightly, knelt down beside Mrs. Liu, held her arm, and said with a smile: "Fengfeng was still alive at that time, Fengfeng will know." ”
……
There was a sound of quarrel in the dormitory, and Duguqing stopped and stood quietly in the winter night without wind and snow.
"Antai invited herself to kill that bastard boy!"
"Shut up. I won't allow this, and you won't mention it again! ”
"I didn't kill him that day, because we were in the Song Realm and in the Jade Capital! But now that we're back, I'm the first one to condone him! ”
"I've made it clear. The power of the Song king is in the hands of him alone, if he dies, the Song State will only become the Chu State of the Seven Kings of the year. And there were still seven kings in the Chu State back then, and now what is there in the Song State? It's just a military general he single-handedly raised! ”
"But he bit like a mad dog, harming the King of Qi and His Highness! On that day in the tomb of King Wu, he had already laid an ambush, waiting for His Highness to enter the urn! If he hadn't wanted too many people to know about this, he might have come up with what kind of battle he would have to take to capture us! His murderous intent has risen, and he can't stay there! ”
"Antey! Do you remember what he was like when he was a kid? I thought that even if I had the heart, you wouldn't have the heart to kill him. ”
"But Your Highness! He murdered the King of Qi! King Qi is your own son, but he is not! Antai can't bear to watch His Highness swallow his personal enmity for the sake of all the people in the world! ”
"Shut up. I'll say it again, I don't allow this to happen, and you don't want to mention it again! ”
After a moment of surprise, Princess Zhao, who was still standing outside the hall, left here gently and slowly.
Back in her dormitory, she called a personal guard, one of the most trusted of all the personal guards her father and grandfather had left her.
"What does the princess command?"
"I want Liu Jing, the king of Song...... Die. You go and quietly kill the King of Song. If he doesn't die, you won't come back. ”
The private guard saluted: "The subordinates obey." ”
He turned around and pushed the door, only to hear Princess Zhao Guo say, "Wait." You can't go in person, and if you're captured, you'll think you've been sent by Your Highness. ”
The private guard said: "If your subordinates are captured, they will immediately cut off themselves, and they will not betray the princess or Zhao Guo." ”
"I naturally believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to do this. But just in case, we can't get our hands dirty. Princess Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "You go to Chu State." I heard that there is a 'Black Wind Dart Bureau' in Miaoyan City of Chu State, which specializes in killing people and setting fires. On the eve of the disaster of the Seven Kings of Chu State, King You of Chu died of alcoholism, in fact, it is very likely that this 'Black Wind Dart Game' is the handiwork. Not only do they have a lot of experts and do things cleanly, but as long as they take money, they will keep their promises and will never say who their customers are. No matter how much money you spend, you go and invite someone from the 'Black Wind Dart Bureau' to assassinate Liu Jing, the king of Song. ”
