Chapter 237 Deliberately stirring up trouble
Baili Yeqing curled the corner of his mouth on the right, with a full evil smile, and his eyes were also very provocative, obviously deliberately provoking trouble.
But at this moment, except for Yan Xiaowei and Rong Xiu, almost everyone was standing behind him, so no one could see his face.
Yan Xiaowei saw his villainous face, grinded his teeth fiercely, and his little face turned red under the fierce north wind.
As soon as he said this, it was like a thunderclap on the ground, and everyone present exploded in an instant, and all kinds of speculations rose from the ground, like a swarm of bees rushing out of the hornet's nest, and the sound kept surging, as if he wanted to crush Rong Xiu to death with this kind of denunciation.
The old ministers led by Lin Cheng and others were even more shocked to tie up their hands, staring at each other with their beards: "What? His Majesty...... Your Majesty, he died? ”
A man immediately came out and denied it: "Alas, what nonsense! You are cursing the emperor and will be imprisoned! The emperor is obviously doing well, and he will deal with the twists and turns yesterday! Hugh is talking nonsense! ”
"I'm not talking nonsense, it's obvious that His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness said that General Rong assassinated the emperor, and also, tampered with the edict!"
After that, the eyes of everyone present looked at Rong Xiu in shock, as if he was a sinner who plotted rebellion and killed Bai Liying, angry and vigilant!
The Praetorian Guards, who were originally following behind Baili Yeqing with spears, were more like they had received someone's secret orders, and they quickly scattered in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded Rong Xiu and Yan Xiaoyi in the middle.
Yan Xiaowei frowned, her heart was already surging in an instant, her eyes swept hurriedly in the Praetorian Guards surrounding the two of them, and the sharp spears were extremely dazzling.
"What are you doing here?"
Baili Yeqing listened, took a step forward with his negative hand, and his fingers didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he kept playing with Peiyu on his waist: "What are you doing?" Don't you know what to do? ”
He tilted his head slightly, glanced at the Praetorian Guard, and shouted, "What are you waiting for?" Quickly take down these thieves and sinners for this temple! ”
After receiving his order, the Praetorian Guards had no scruples, and rushed over one by one with their spears.
Seeing this, Rong Xiu stretched out his hand to protect Yan Xiaoyun behind him, his brows furrowed: "Who dares to come over?" ”
His voice wasn't loud, at least not noticeable in the noisy crowd. However, the faint anger in his words and the calm and cold expression on his face were stunned to bluff these Praetorian Guards who shouted and shouted to kill.
I don't know who it started, but one by one they stopped with their spears.
Seeing this, Baili Yeqing angrily took a few steps ahead, and knocked the little guy who was in the way next to him backwards.
"You dogs, this hall will let you take him down! Why don't you dare to move? Take it down for me, or you will all go to heaven and prison for Your Highness!" ”
He was almost angry, and his already iron-blue face and red eyes looked even more irritable.
However, when those Praetorian Guards received his order and their eyes fell on Rong Xiu's cold gaze again, they still couldn't help but tremble.
Although the person in front of him is not very old, he is the young general Rong Xiao who commands the million-strong army of the Baili Dynasty, and he went to the battlefield to kill the enemy when he was more than ten years old, even though he only has a long sword in his hand now, and he is dragging an oil bottle behind him, but he is famous, and it is really difficult to start.
As long as he was swept away by his cold eyes, his body couldn't help but tremble, how could this be good?
Baili Yeqing saw that his successive orders were all taken as wind in his ears by this group of "useless things", and he was almost angry for a while: "What's the matter with you group of cowardly mice?" Didn't you hear what His Highness just said? The little general Rong in front of you is no longer the hero who galloped across the battlefield in the past to promote the national prestige of our Baili country! His Royal Highness's eyeliner in the Heart Cultivation Hall clearly saw him punch his father in the chest, and his father's already assassinated heart was bleeding immediately! But this thief actually had the audacity to hide the news that his father had died, and secretly changed his father's edict! ”
The more he made up, the more energetic he became, and all the people around him were blinded by his remarks and led the nose away.
Looking at Rong Xiu's gaze, it was as if there was no room for sand in his eyes, and the crowd was angry for a while!
"There is such a thing! How unreasonable! ”
"Why don't you take down this thief and avenge the emperor!"
Seeing that the voice was getting louder and louder, and the crowd was getting more and more angry, Baili Yeqing didn't seem to be enough, and continued to add fuel and vinegar from the side.
"Everyone was deceived by his upright appearance on weekdays, their Rong family has heavy troops, and they clearly want to usurp the throne and play the entire hundred miles of rivers and mountains in the palm of their hands! Don't be fooled by his appearance and rhetoric! ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a chorus from the crowd.
"That is, their Rong family has almost ninety percent of the ten percent of our Hundred Miles Country's troops, and they have already threatened the emperor's rights. The emperor gave trust and trust to the elders of their Rong family, but their Rong family was simply using the emperor's trust to seek benefits for themselves! ”
Another person also chimed in: "That is, I have long seen that their Rong family is not pleasing to the eye!" Now that their Rong family dares to do such a rebellious thing as murdering the emperor, it is really unbearable! If it weren't for the wisdom of the Fifth Highness and the early discovery of their horses' feet, it is estimated that it won't be long before their Rong family will attack you and me! This hundred miles of country is also going to change its surname to Rong! ”
An individual has obviously been brainwashed by Baili Yeqing's alarmist framing, and wants to pounce on Rong Xiu and the Rong family to shreds every minute.
There are people who were instigated by Baili Yesu, there are also people who follow the trend, and there are people who are usually jealous of the Rong family, who have a big business, and hold a grudge and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.
Yan Xiaowei looked at the Praetorian Guards around her and shouted at these words, as if she was facing a great enemy!
What to do, what to do?
This Baili Ye Qing has already called out the famous people among the civil and military officials of the entire Baili Dynasty, I am afraid that even if the Rong family has a strong army in their hands, it will not be easy to retreat.
Now there are only two people in this Heart Cultivation Palace, Rong Xiu and her, but to face such a group of people who are eyeing each other, it is simply a grasshopper shaking the tree. It's always the two of them who are lucky enough to escape from these people, and they have to bear the charge of rebellious ministers and thieves!
Not only Rong Xiu can't bear this, but she can't bear it either!
What's more, Bai Liying is no longer there. If the disputes in the palace really get more and more intense, then in the end it will only be the people of Li who will suffer in the end.
What can those who worry about their livelihood every day do?
Thinking that those hard-working and simple people might be ruled by a cunning fox like Baili Yeqing in the future, Yan Xiaoyi's heart sank!
This kind of thing must not happen!
Seeing that the spear of the previous bold Praetorian Guard stretched out in front of Rong Xiu, and was about to poke into Rong Xiu's chest, she endured and endured, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Enough!" Who dares to touch him try! ”
The Praetorian Guard had always thought that Yan Xiaowei was just a little woman hiding behind Rong Xiu at best, but he didn't expect that she would dare to come up and speak, and he was stunned for a while.
Over there, Baili Ye Qing saw that his people surrounded Rong Xiu and Yan Xiaoyi, and felt that the victory was in his hands for a while, and he couldn't help but sarcastically say to Rong Xiu: "Yo hey, the dignified little general Rong actually asked a woman to speak for you at a critical moment, really, tsk, lose our man's face!" Your Highness is ashamed of you! ”
Rong Xiu took Yan Xiaoyi, who poked her head out, behind her and protected her tightly.
Then, his heroic eyebrows were raised, and he looked at Baili Yeqing outside the crowd for a long time, his voice was not high, but it was calm and powerful.
"Your Royal Highness Fifth just said that you sent the eyeliner that lurked in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and watched me smash the emperor's old wound with a punch and assassinate the emperor. Then Rong is about to ask, since your people saw what I did, why didn't they come out to stop Rong at that time? The person who can lurk in the Heart Cultivation Hall and make me not even aware of it must be a martial artist, right? If he makes a move, can Rong still 'plot against the emperor'? ”
His head tilted slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Seeing this scene and letting things develop, if I, Rong, am really the thief who assassinated the emperor, wouldn't the Fifth Highness be an accomplice?" ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone present suddenly felt that this matter was not as simple as Baili Yeqing said. Indeed, this is unreasonable! If the people of the Fifth Highness really saw Rong Xiu's murder, why didn't they stop it on the spot, and arrest Rong Xiu, but let him commit the murder, and then bring the ministers over?
If the suspected murderer of the emperor is arrested, he can be arrested as early as when Rong cultivates the murderer. Now there is no basis for comment, who can believe Rong Xiu who is the murderer of the emperor just by saying with his mouth?
Everyone looked at Baili Yeqing's gaze, and they added a little suspicion.
Baili Yeqing was keenly aware of the change in the crowd's gaze, and he was furious, and the green tendons on his forehead and neck jumped suddenly: "Don't you believe what His Highness said?" Who is Rong Xiu, he is a general, no matter how powerful the eyeliner sent by His Royal Highness is, can he compare to his strength? If he rashly goes up to stop him, I'm afraid that not only will it not stop him from committing murder, but it will expose his identity and be killed! ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the crowd changed slightly.
Yan Xiaowei sneered in her heart, these people are just a wallgrass! Surely you can't count on them!
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, and her voice was undisguised with sarcasm: "So, Your Highness is saying that your informant is afraid that he is in danger, so he watched the emperor be killed?" ”
Baili Yeqing subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but after thinking about it, if he shook his head, wouldn't it be like he didn't save people when it was obviously possible? But if you nod your head, it's not appropriate.
He couldn't help but look at the little woman who looked at him coldly and spoke softly, and her eyes narrowed dangerously.
