Chapter 778: Inside Story
"How are you doing in the palace?"
Xu Rui seemed to have doubts in his heart, and asked.
Zhengyu still nodded, and said calmly: "The Holy Throne, King Su ascends the throne, everything is fine!" ”
Xu Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his eyes paused on Zhengyu, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and let out a long sigh of relief, and his nervous face instantly relaxed.
"As long as there is nothing in the palace, although the situation outside is chaotic, as long as the palace is stable, our backbone is still there, and other incidents can be solved slowly."
Hearing Xu Rui say this, Li Kuang on the side was shocked.
Although there was no flaw in the words of the eunuch Zhengyu, Xu Rui would believe it so easily still made him not expect, could it be that there were still many entanglements between the two that he didn't know?
But despite this, he still felt that there were too many doubts behind these words, such as what does it mean to be safe in the palace? It has become a pot of porridge outside, and Xu Rui has just asserted that the palace has been out of control, where is it okay?
With such obvious doubts, why would Xu Rui believe it so easily?
Just when it was strange, Xu Rui had already untied the armor and the big hat he had just put on and handed them to Qin Fei, Qin Fei nodded silently, and immediately led his own soldiers to retreat.
Seeing this scene, Li Kuang was even more surprised in his heart, Xu Rui took off his armor and waved back his own soldiers, which proved with practical actions that he had completely believed Zhengyu's words.
You must know how precious the time is right now, going to the camp of the Apocalypse Guard even a second late may cause immeasurable losses, not to mention that looking at Xu Rui's meaning, he doesn't seem to plan to go to the camp of the Apocalypse Guard again?
Li Kuang's heart tightened, and he was about to remind him.
Xu Rui said suddenly: "My father-in-law must have come here to pass on the decree, right?" ”
Zhengyu nodded: "Exactly, His Royal Highness King Su has first ascended to the Great Treasure, and the first will is to pass on to the Hou Ye." ”
"Oh?"
Xu Rui showed a flattered look, and said to the red-robed eunuch and the forbidden army behind Zhengyu: "Since this is the case, then please withdraw a few steps, I am ready to take the order!" ”
As soon as these words came out, before Zhengyu could speak, the red-robed eunuch behind him said with a smile: "Master Hou misunderstood, this time what I want to pass on is not a secret decree, but a holy decree that is clearly issued." ”
"Mingfa's holy decree?"
Xu Rui was slightly stunned.
Zhengyu also smiled and said: "Yes, Master Hou, the current situation is special, and the slaves and maids are also thinking about letting the saint issue a secret decree first to stabilize the current situation, but the new monarch does not want you to be wronged, and says that he must issue a holy decree in everything, saying that it is the only way to treat you with the courtesy of a countryman. ”
As he spoke, Zhengyu smiled and took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Xu Rui.
"Flawed!"
Li Kuang shouted in his heart.
Looking at the out-of-control situation outside, coupled with the fact that the King of Liao and the entire civil official group are stepping up their attack on the palace, the palace obviously has no spare strength to clean up the mess, how can it be possible to get the clear intention drafted by the cabinet?
Thinking of this, Li Kuang was about to open his mouth to remind, but he didn't expect Xu Rui to nod and say: "Since this is the case, then there is no need to avoid it, please announce the decree of the father-in-law!" ”
Li Kuang suddenly looked at Xu Rui, his brows furrowed deeply, while Zhengyu and the red-robed eunuchs behind him, as well as the forbidden army, were obviously relieved.
Zhengyu slowly took out the holy decree, slowly unfolded it, and then took a deep breath, and said aloud under the attention of everyone: "The holy edict is located in His Royal Highness King Su, which has aroused the anger of King Yu.
King Yu had already bribed Prince Bao and Wang Shun to join forces to control the palace ban, and after seeing the edict of succession, he was furious and killed the monarch with his own hands.
At the same time, Huang Zhengyuan secretly infiltrated the palace, attacked and seriously injured His Royal Highness King Su, and lured King Yu to slaughter his brother with his own hands and steal the throne.
At present, King Yu has completely controlled the south study, succeeded to the throne, the king of Liao did not know the inside story, and still stepped up the attack, and the troops went to the periphery of the south study, hoping that the marquis would make a decision quickly! ”
No one thought that Zhengyu was holding the holy decree, but instead of reading out the content he had drafted with his own hands, he made the terrifying scene that happened in Nan Shu's room public at a very fast speed.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they all froze in place, looking at Zhengyu in amazement, especially Li Kuang, who had always doubted him, opened his mouth wide, as if he was in a dream and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Boy, Lord Huang has long suspected that you have different intentions, but I didn't expect you to dare to really betray Your Highness!"
The red-robed eunuch behind Zhengyu was the first to come back to his senses, exclaimed, and immediately pulled out the short knife on his waist and stabbed Zhengyu in the back of the heart.
Everyone came back to their senses when they heard the exclamation, but the turn came too quickly, and everyone hadn't reacted yet, only Li Kuang's face changed, and the waist knife instantly shot out, blocking the red-robed eunuch and Zhengyu between him, blocking his way.
However, instead of being surprised, the red-robed eunuch had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and when he turned around, he actually killed Xu Rui.
In order to protect Zhengyu, Li Kuang had already given up his position, and he didn't expect that the red-robed eunuch was still a first-class master who was deeply hidden.
He took Xu Rui as his first target from the beginning, and the attack on Zhengyu was just a false shot, and after Li Kuang was calculated, no one could stop him, so he could only watch as he slashed at Xu Rui's chest.
"Die!"
The red-robed eunuch had already killed in front of Xu Rui in the blink of an eye, and he shouted fiercely, adding three more points to the strength in his hand.
Seeing that Xu Rui was about to be in a different place, at this critical moment, he only heard a "pop" gunshot, and the head of the red-robed eunuch was instantly torn apart, his body fell soft, and blood was sprinkled everywhere.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, only then did they see Xu Rui gently blowing on the muzzle of the smoking pistol, and then kicked away the corpse with only half of his head contemptuously.
The forbidden soldiers who escorted Zhengyu and the red-robed eunuchs to deliver the decree were suddenly shocked, and hurriedly pulled out their waist knives and killed Xu Rui.
"Someone!"
Li Kuang shouted, and a team of Jinyi guards equipped with repeating crossbows immediately poured into the living room, and as soon as the machine spring sounded, deadly crossbow arrows flew out, and the remaining forbidden troops were all shot in an instant.
"Boom !!"
At the same time, a series of grenades exploded outside Liu's mansion, followed by a dense burst of submachine guns.
The forbidden army that was ambushed outside the Liu Mansion and secretly prepared to bloody the Liu Mansion was caught off guard by the personal soldiers led by Qin Fei before they had time to make a move.
In the face of the combination of submachine guns and grenades, the forbidden army, which was only equipped with waist knives, had no power to fight back, but they were all eradicated in a moment, and there was not even the slightest decent resistance in the whole process.
In the living room, hearing the explosions and gunshots outside, Li Kuang immediately understood that he was afraid that he had already made arrangements, and looked at Xu Rui in a daze.
In fact, as early as when Zhengyu entered the door, Xu Rui's keen perception noticed that a large number of people were approaching outside, and then gave Qin Fei a look by removing his armor, asking him to get ready to dispose of the people outside.
In order to create enough preparation time for Qin Fei, Xu Rui and Zhengyu gossiped for a long time.
Seeing that Xu Rui had already controlled the situation, Zheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Huang Zhengyuan is really insidious, it seems that he doesn't believe the slave's words at all, and he wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the Hou Ye from the beginning, so on the surface, he pretends to support the slave and maid to go out of the palace to pass the decree."
It was also the slave who was reckless, and did not discover this person's sinister intentions at the beginning, and did not notice that a large group of people were following behind him until he left the palace.
But at that time, the slave maid was already surrounded by Huang Zhengyuan's eyeliner, so he had to secretly give you a look after seeing Hou Ye, but fortunately, Hou Ye was already prepared to crush Huang Zhengyuan's conspiracy. ”
Xu Rui smiled bitterly and said: "Where did you come from, I also saw your eyes and found out that it was wrong, if you want to say that it is fortunate, it is also fortunate that you are clever enough to cooperate with me to delay for a while, so that Huang Zhengyuan's people who are ambushed outside can be solved so smoothly." ”
Saying that, Xu Rui patted Zhengyu's shoulder and said: "Huang Zhengyuan is a champion from this background, and his talent is outstanding, and he has been able to take charge of the household controlled by the King of Liao in the past few years, which is enough to see that his mind is delicate and the Shen Mansion is extremely deep, and it is very rare for you to sneak out of the palace under his nose, so you don't have to blame yourself for this matter." ”
"Master Hou is serious."
Zhengyu said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, there is a good chance that Huang Zhengyuan is determined to deal with you, and the forbidden army at the gate is probably only responsible for keeping an eye on the slaves and maids, and then there should be more people who come to take Hou Ye's life." ”
Xu Rui nodded and said, "Don't worry, since you already know Huang Zhengyuan's plan, then Ben Hou has his own way to deal with him, you first tell me everything that happened in the palace." ”
"Wait, wait, what's going on?"
Li Kuang listened to the conversation between the two, and the doubts in his heart became more and more, so he couldn't help but interrupt the two and asked loudly.
Zhengyu looked at Li Kuang, didn't know his details, and didn't say much.
Xu Rui explained: "Zhengyu is Hu Miao's godson, and in order to find out the cause of Hu Miao's death, he conspired with me, and he risked his life to lie dormant in the celebrant prison to listen to information. ”
"You've also started to bury dark chess in the palace?!"
Li Kuang was stunned again when he heard this.
"Time is running out for now, and we'll talk about that later."
Xu Rui nodded, turned around and said, "Zhengyu, what you just said is true?" ”
mentioned the situation in the palace, Zhengyu's face sank instantly, and he carefully recounted the scenes that happened in the south study.
Hearing that King Yu actually killed his brother for the throne, and that Emperor Hongwei and King Su had died tragically at his hands, Li Kuang's heart was suddenly furious.
"Rebels and thieves! This is a rebel and a thief! ”
He shouted loudly and slapped the case, as if he wanted to swallow King Yu alive.
Xu Rui didn't react much on the surface, but he also set off a monstrous wave in his heart.
He never thought that King Yu would really kill King Su, who grew up together, and even did it himself, and today the scene when the three of them were separated in King Yu's Mansion is still vivid, and it will be separated forever in just a few hours.
For a long time, King Su has been King Yu's strongest backing and staunchest supporter, Xu Rui really can't imagine what kind of grief and despair King Su will be when he sees King Yu holding a dagger into his heart?
recalled the last sentence that King Su said to himself: "Wait for this matter, ask Tiange and Brother Xu if they are not drunk and will not return!" ”
Xu Rui's heart suddenly seemed to be cut off, and it hurt deeply.
"I said that if I don't get drunk, I won't return, but you guy ran away first......"
Xu Rui said in a daze, and he didn't know who he was talking to, and tears blurred his vision in an instant.
But now is not the time to be sad, there are too many things waiting for Xu Rui to do, and many of them are King Su's wishes and unfinished business, King Su is gone, these things are left to Xu Rui, and they have become wordless entrustment.
Xu Rui came back to his senses, wiped away the tears that were about to fall, shook his head, and his face suddenly became very grim.
"Da Wei is hopeless, let's go......"
"What?"
Li Kuang, who was furious, heard this, his anger disappeared instantly, and he looked at Xu Rui in shock.
