Chapter 43: The Dark Forces
I believe that not only Xu Xianyang himself was confused, but also other people who heard his accusations were also confused.
After Xiao Rui learned about it, he didn't speak for a long time.
In the end, he gave a thumbs up, or his own father was clever, and he was sentenced to exile at most for corruption, which recruited rebels and attempted to rebel against the death penalty, no wonder Emperor Xia was slow to do it, it turned out that he was holding a knife in his hand, and he was not panicked.
But in the same way, Xiao Rui was curious, who was the traitor Xu Xianyang recruiting?
You don't need to inquire about it, just go out and go around, and you'll hear everything.
It is said that reliable news came from the Jinyi Guard, and among the disciples that Xu Xianyang recruited, there were subordinates of the former rebel Night King, and the roadmap and plan of the rebel preparing to infiltrate the palace to assassinate the Xia Emperor were found in the Xu Mansion.
The Night King of the Rebel Thief, this name jumped into Xiao Rui's eyes.
However, when it comes to the Night King, it seems to be a taboo for the older ones to avoid talking about it, which makes Xiao Rui curious like a cat scratching in his heart. So he asked Gao Quan to inquire.
The content was quickly checked.
The Night King, the second son of Emperor Xiaowen, is the second brother of the current Xia Emperor.
At that time, Emperor Xiaowen blossomed and bore fruit everywhere, and there were many heirs, resulting in a large age disparity. And Emperor Xiaowen held the throne to sixty and six, the crown prince was nearly fifty, and he had been the prince for thirty years, and he almost gave up the throne, he was afraid that he would not be able to live his father.
The crown prince of the year is no longer fighting, and the night king who is forty years old wants to fight.
He served as the envoy of Ludong Jiedu, commanding an army of 100,000 in the world, and he was the most elite army in Great Xia at that time.
In this way, the Night King rebelled.
All the way to the capital.
And Emperor Xiaowen, who learned of the situation, was so frightened that he fell unconscious, and even forgot to take out the tiger talisman to assign the general. The crown prince also has no ability to hold power, and the other princes are also in chaos. At this time, Xiao Ying, who is still the prince of the current Xia Emperor, went out and persuaded the patrol battalion to defend the capital with the power of his tongue, and made an agreement to hold on for two days, and he went out of the city alone and went to the northwest camp fifty miles northwest of the capital, where there were 40,000 troops defending the land of Gyeonggi, and persuaded the commander to enter the king of Jingqin without a tiger talisman, and attacked the night king from behind and rescued the capital.
The Night King fled back to Ludong, and after Emperor Xiaowen woke up, he ordered the Xia Emperor to lead the northwest camp and exterminate the Night King.
And this process lasted for several years, until Emperor Xia ascended the throne and became emperor, and the rebel Night King disappeared.
But after all, it was the prince who sought power and usurped the throne, so Emperor Xia issued an order to prohibit people from discussing it privately, so they didn't dare to discuss it without permission.
It's just that I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still people active in the Night King of Rebels, it's really... It's fake!
Xiao Rui highly doubted that it was not Emperor Xia's trick to deliberately find a reason to rectify Xu Xianyang, how could the Night King's subordinates persist for so long and still think of rebellion?
The head show is funny.
It is estimated that Xu Xianyang will be even more confused.
To Xiao Rui's surprise, Xu Xianyang, who was stunned, really pleaded guilty, admitted the big crime of intending to rebel, and sentenced the queen to be decided, and it was not lonely to go to Huangquan with his son. Emperor Xia was merciful and did not sit with his family, but exiled him for three thousand miles.
"..."
Xiao Rui was a little confused, and he couldn't care about the pleasant ding-dong prompt in his mind, prompting him that the task was completed, and the advent value was +80.
Why did Xu Xianyang admit such a big crime? Xiao Rui couldn't figure it out.
And Jia Xu told Xiao Rui that he suspected that the traitor was true, and the Night King's subordinates were resurrected. Moreover, Jia Xu also investigated and learned that the Night King of the year was just missing, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive, so it was not impossible for him to continue to plot the throne and recruit rebel subordinates.
"People in their seventies, still thinking about the throne?" Xiao Rui couldn't help but want to complain.
Jia Xu sighed: "This may be an obsession." ”
Soon, Xiao Rui was overjoyed by the prompt on the system page.
"Arrival: 90/100"
"Haha... System, give me another task, let me make up enough points. Xiao Rui shouted excitedly.
"Ding Dong..."
Who knows, the system actually made a prompt sound.
Xiao Rui blinked, it was the first time he had seen such an intimate system.
He quickly skimmed through the system in his mind, and saw:
"Name: Xiao Rui
Identity: The seventh prince of the Great Xia Kingdom
Talents: Does the status of a time-traveler count? No, then no
Advent: 90/100
New mission released: Find the Night King Xiao Heding, complete the mission advent value +10, the mission fails, the host can try the experiment of how long the heart can live out of the body! Duration: 20 days. ”
Xiao Rui rolled his eyes and almost fainted.
It's early, this dog's day system, just like the bullies that once did.
Looking for the Night King? Is this forcing yourself to stumble on the path of the traitor?
But the task has been issued, Xiao Rui doesn't want to die, so he can only bite the bullet and go ahead.
He found Jia Xu.
"Your Highness, seeing that your face is not very good, is there anything important?" Jia Xu said with concern.
Xiao Rui said weakly: "Sir, I want to find the Night King, what do you think?" ”
“……”
Jia Xu blinked his eyes, and only after a while did he ask, "Your Highness, are you sleepwalking?" ”
"Hey, it's hard to put into words." Xiao Rui arched his hand and said, "Mr. Trouble helped me come up with ideas, I don't have any ideas at all." ”
After Jia Xu groaned, he said, "If you want to find the Night King, the difficulty is no less than taking chestnuts from the fire. After all, he has been hidden for so long and has not been discovered, how can we find him easily? But..."
After a pause, Jia Xu thought of someone and continued: "But Xu Xianyang pleaded guilty, why did he confess?" This is an infamy for the ages, and he must know something, so his heart is like ashes. You can use him as a breakthrough and ask. ”
"Good!" Xiao Rui didn't have an idea, so he could only take one step at a time.
After Gao Quan inquired, he learned that Xu Xianyang was still on death row in Dongchang and had not yet been handed over to the Criminal Department. It just so happened that Xiao Rui had some friendship with Father-in-law Wei, and prepared some "thin gifts" to visit him.
"Your Highness wants to see Xu Xianyang?" Grandpa Wei warmly entertained Xiao Rui, but when he heard his request, he was obviously stunned for a moment.
Xiao Ruigang wanted to find an excuse to explain, but he didn't expect that Grandpa Wei had already made up the reason for him: "Your Highness wants to beat the water dogs?" His Royal Highness was indeed righteous and made both the father and son of the Xu family accept the punishment of the law. ”
Xiao Rui hurriedly nodded.
Wei Gong said fairly: "Leave this matter to me, and I will send His Highness to death row now." Does Your Highness still need whips? ”
Whip your sister!
I'm not here to abuse people.
"No, no, the verbal whipping can knock his soul even more." Xiao Rui said with a smile.
Grandpa Wei gave a thumbs up in admiration, "Your Highness is Your Highness, and the grade is not comparable to villains." ”
In this way, Xiao Rui entered the death row of Dongchang and met Xu Xianyang, and Father-in-law Wei took away the guards in the prison.
Looking at Xu Xianyang sitting cross-legged in the haystack in the prison, his gray hair was messy, and he was wearing a very dirty white prison uniform, which was like two extremes of power in the past.
"Your Highness the Seventh, are you here to laugh at me?" Xu Xianyang raised his head, his face was neither angry nor sad, and asked.
