Chapter 604: The Assassin Appears
just immediately ordered the eunuch and the palace maid standing aside to clean up the table in front of Zhang Renzhi, and asked someone to bring Wang Yangming a pot of wine again.
Because of what Wang Yangming just said, the emperor also specially told him that the wine they drink today is a wine that has been treasured in the wine cellar of the deep palace for forty years, if the former cannot be drunk, the emperor is not reluctant, but don't waste the wine.
Although Wang Yangming's performance was to make a smiling appearance, his etiquette was still extremely decent, and there was nothing to overcome.
Moreover, this kind of invisible competition on the wine table has always been based on their own ability, even if Zhang Renzhi has a lot of anger in his heart, he must forcibly swallow this loss, otherwise he can only find a chance to return Wang Yangming's hand.
However, as the so-called Seeing the Subtle Knowledge, although Xing Tianze has not had any reaction since he sat down, he has been secretly observing Zhang Renzhi all along.
And from what he had heard about Zhang Renzhi's methods in Jiangbei before, and his current performance, it can be seen that the latter is actually not so brainless as he seems on the surface, and can tolerate such rude offenses as Wang Yangming, so he can only say that he can really bear it.
In Xing Tianze's cognition, those ruthless characters who lick blood from the knife may not necessarily be terrible, but people like Zhang Renzhi who can endure must be the most terrifying.
Because when a person is most likely to make mistakes, it must be when he is angry, but if Zhang Renzhi does not have any impulses, but maintains a calm posture anytime and anywhere, then doesn't it seem too impeccable?
However, at this time, the emperor suddenly slowly raised the wine glass in his hand, saying that the sun is shining today, it is rare, Zhang Renzhi and Liu Jin and Wang Yangming are all in the capital, so he set up a banquet here for everyone to come to the banquet.
In addition, there is another point worth celebrating, that is, the five princes not only asked the inside to deal with the affairs of the DPRK and China, not to mention being so tired, but also worked tirelessly to gather the Black Iron Alliance to serve under the account, and also uprooted the entire evil Heavenly Hell Organization with his own strength, which can really be regarded as a great contribution.
Xing Tianze frowned at the first time when he heard this, because he really didn't expect the emperor to bring this matter to the table.
Although from the bright side, this is a great contribution made by the five princes, but it also proves from another angle that the strength in the hands of the emperor has encountered serious oppression?
But tomorrow will soon understand the reason, the emperor is in disguise to tell Zhang Renzhi and Liu Jin how serious the current situation in the capital is.
And the Xing Tianze they are going to face is much more powerful than ever.
Liu Jin smiled at Xing Tianze, raised the wine glass in his hand and congratulated him, congratulating the fifth prince for making such and such a contribution, and he was in the state of Xingzhao, which was really favored by God.
As long as Xing Tianze is in one day, then other countries such as Qingcang Kingdom and Fuyang Kingdom are destined not to raise troops to invade the land of Xingzhao Kingdom, and the people can enjoy a peaceful life forever.
In this regard, Xing Tianze only replied to Liu Jin lightly, and praised Miao, in front of the emperor, he didn't dare to make the slightest mistake, after all, the emperor's majesty is not something that ordinary people can offend.
However, after a glass of wine, the emperor clapped his hands, and immediately more than a dozen dancing girls slowly came to the middle of the crowd, dancing to the songs played by more than ten maids.
At this moment, Zhang Renzhi looked at Wang Yangming again and asked why the Wang family had been stationed in the eastern part of the country for the Xingzhao Kingdom for many years, why did it suddenly enter the capital now, and what was the so-called matter?
Although Zhang Renzhi's words were very light-hearted, they were full of extremely serious murderous meanings, which were nothing more than to imply that the place where Wang Yangming should be at this time was in the territory of Dongzhou.
Dare to run back to the capital without any holy decree from the emperor, in more serious words, Wang Yangming committed the crime of dereliction of duty and betrayed the emperor's trust.
However, Wang Yangming drank a glass of wine unhurriedly before slowly answering them: It is true that the Wang family is stationed in Dongzhou, but it is his father's responsibility to lead the troops.
He, Wang Yangming, does not have any official position except for being born in this family, so in a strict sense, he can be regarded as a free body.
Although the Wang family enjoys the privilege of hereditary succession, unless his father is unwell and can no longer fulfill his responsibilities, he will immediately return to Dongzhou.
As he spoke, Wang Yangming suddenly paused, and only after glancing at Zhang Renzhi coldly did he re-open his words, although he was the son of the Wang family, he had never been to the capital.
If he hadn't taken advantage of the free time to play around in the past few years, when he took over his father's duties, I am afraid that he would not be able to see the prosperity of the capital in his life.
Zhang Renzhi then let out a cold snort, turned his head to look at the side, but the emperor held a glass of wine to Wang Yangming with a smile on his face.
Just when Wang Yangming thanked His Majesty the Emperor and looked up to drink, but among the maids, a figure suddenly appeared, and then a cold light flashed, and a sharp dagger appeared in the woman's hand.
When the tip of the dagger had already touched Wang Yangming's neck, he only needed to move a little further forward to directly end his life.
This dagger was directly stunned in this position, and no matter how hard this woman tried, it was impossible to advance a single inch, because Xing Tianze had already held this person's arm tightly at this time.
Liu Jin reacted quickly, threw away the wine glass he was holding in his hand, and supported the table with his other hand, and then the whole person climbed over to the emperor, and opened his hands to protect the latter's secret room behind him.
While his eyes were vigilant and he glanced at these dancing maids, Liu Jin shouted loudly, and the guards came over to protect the emperor immediately, and an assassin appeared.
The dancing girls let out a scream and then crouched in place under the reprimand of a large number of guards, not daring to move.
At this time, Wang Yangming also slapped the whole person on the table, and after sliding a distance of five or six steps, he threw out his wine glass with a flick of his wrist and smashed the dagger from the hand of the maid.
Just when the woman was about to touch out a weapon from her waist again, Xing Tianze waved it violently, and the internal force that burst out of her other hand directly shocked her upside down and fell heavily to the ground.
Blood immediately flowed from the corners of the woman's mouth, and at a glance she lost her life.
Suddenly, Zhang Renzhi suddenly stood up from the ground, pointed at Xing Tianze, and reprimanded sharply, since the murderer has been captured, why didn't he leave a living mouth?
Xing Tianze glanced at Zhang Renzhi coldly, and directly answered coldly whether the latter was blind, this person was poisoned and died at a glance.
