Chapter 64: Assassination

Three days later, the day of the emperor's blessing arrived.

Emperor Yujing rode on a dragon chariot driven by six horses, and the dragon pattern on the body was inlaid with gold, silver, jade, gems and pearls, showing the royal noble and luxurious style.

Behind him were three luxury carriages driven by four handsome horses, carrying important officials of the first and second grades.

The left and right sides were escorted by the generals of the left and right guards, followed by Long Yuan who was the deputy general and eunuch of the forbidden army.

On the periphery of these escort officers were teams of cavalry and foot soldiers of the forbidden army, each of which was led by a general.

Tianyin Temple is built by the first emperor of Yuguo, built on the mountain, the ancient rock is grand, the pine covers the sun, the canyon is quiet, the clouds and mist are misty, the wide steps go straight to the peak, the natural landscape is magical, the style is unique.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Emperor Yujing and his ministers got out of the car, and stepped up the steps with the support of the generals and the forbidden army, and walked towards Tianyin Temple.

Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the end of the mountain, and the elders of Tianyin Temple led two thousand disciples to greet them at the door.

I saw a compassionate old monk with a white beard walking forward, bending down to Emperor Yujing and saying, "Amitabha, old man Yuanchen see the emperor!" ”

Emperor Yujing hurriedly held the arm of Yuan Chen, the abbot of Tianyin Temple, and said: "Abbot don't be formal, I obey the will of heaven and come to pray for the blessings of all people, the auspicious time has come, I am afraid that I will miss the time, let's go directly to the Temple of Heaven to incense!" ”

Abbot Yuanchen glanced at Emperor Yujing, his expression was slightly sluggish, but he quickly returned to his senses, he stretched out his right arm and made a gesture of please, "Your Majesty, please!" ”

Everyone followed the abbot into the temple, turned around the large and small courtyards, and came directly to the perennial blessing of the Temple of Heaven, this Temple of Heaven is located at the highest end of the temple, in the middle is a huge tripod, called the Qingtian Ding, the sandalwood lit during the prayer is inserted into the tripod.

The officials stood ten meters away from the Heavenly Peak, and the generals of the forbidden army and more than a dozen forbidden army masters surrounded the position within one meter of the Heavenly Peak to protect the safety of Emperor Yujing in close quarters, and the rest of the troops were all surrounded by the outside of the Temple of Heaven.

Abbot Yuanchen first swept the dust for Emperor Yujing and various officials, and then poured holy water, and finally the blessing began.

Emperor Yujing lit three two-foot-long sandalwood sticks with a candle, bowed to heaven and earth, and said a bunch of auspicious words that are often said to pray for blessings, and then after the officials knelt three times and bowed nine times, Emperor Yujing inserted the sandalwood into the Tianding.

This is the end of the prayer.

Suddenly, the generals of the forbidden army and the masters of the forbidden army who were surrounding Qingtianding suddenly felt dizzy on their foreheads, their hands and feet were weak, and they fainted to the ground.

Emperor Yujing reacted in the same way, shaking his body and holding on to the edge of the Heavenly Peak.

The ministers were dumbfounded, but before they could react, on the high platform of more than ten meters at the top of the Temple of Heaven, eight black-clothed people held sharp swords and fell from the sky at great speed, and the blades of the swords pointed directly at the head of Emperor Yujing.

"Sneer......" All eight sharp swords were firmly pierced into the body of Emperor Yujing, Emperor Yujing's eyes widened, blood was spitting from his mouth, and he fell to the ground and died on the spot.

"Escort, escort, there are assassins!" At this time, the officials shouted in a panic and fled to the outside of the Temple of Heaven, and no one dared to step forward.

The eight black-clothed men looked at the forbidden army rushing in from the outside world, and at the same time pulled out the sharp sword inserted into the body of Emperor Yujing, like a phantom flying towards the top of the Temple of Heaven and fleeing.

"Whoa!" With a bang, a huge golden wire net fell from the sky, and then all eight masked black-clothed men fell to the ground and closed in the net. No amount of strength could cut through the golden wire with a sharp sword.

Immediately afterwards, the generals and masters of the forbidden army who had fainted on the ground all stood up, holding swords and surrounding the eight black-clothed people in the golden wire net.

"Haha, a bold traitor, you dare to attack the emperor, today is your end!" Liu Ning, the general of the Left Guard, sneered with a knife.

The eight black-clothed people in Fengying struggled to look at each other a few times, and then looked at Emperor Yujing lying on the ground, and were instantly disappointed, their eyes turned red, that Emperor Yujing was fake!

Several ministers wiped their sweat and came to the black-clothed man surrounded by the forbidden army again, looking at Emperor Yujing lying on the ground, they were really a little confused.

"Ministers, this emperor is pretending to be in order to lead out today's traitors." Wang Kai, the general of the right guard, explained proudly.

"Dog Emperor, you brutally killed loyal ministers, and one day there will be retribution!" A man in black shouted.

Liu Ning stepped forward and kicked the man in black, and said sharply: "Come on, escort him out for me!" ”

"Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, the two forbidden soldiers escorted out the man in black who had just shouted. Liu Ning put the knife on the neck of the man in black, and the man in black didn't even blink his eyes.

Hearing only a "bang", blood burst out, and the head of the man in black fell to the ground. The ministers hid their faces and retreated, trembling with fear.

At this time, a man in black in the net shouted to the sky, "Master, let's go first, let's go meet General Yin!" ”

With that, all the men in black bit the poison between their teeth and died instantly.

Wang Kai glanced at the seven dead people, grinned, and said, "The emperor is really wise, he has long expected such a thing." Actually put ecstasy in sandalwood, thinking we are fools? ”

Yin Yi did arrange for Feng Ying to put a large dose of ecstasy in the sandalwood, just in time to stun the guards at the incense time, but unfortunately they had already had a fortification and replaced all the sandalwood mixed with the medicine.

Suddenly, all the soldiers on the Temple of Heaven bowed back one after another, and a majestic middle-aged man dressed in an auspicious cloud dragon robe walked over.

Everyone immediately knelt down and said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Emperor Yujing did not shout the word "flat", but walked directly in front of the dead man in black.

His brows furrowed high, clouds covered his cheeks, and Yin Zhongguo's appearance appeared in his mind again, causing him to feel uncomfortable for a while.

After a long time, Emperor Yujing said: "Everyone get up!" Come on, drag these people out and bury them, Buddhism is a quiet place, not suitable for blood! ”

"Yes!"

Then more than a dozen forbidden soldiers came up and dragged the man in black out, and cleaned up the bloodstains.

Abbot Yuanchen had been standing not far from Qingtianding, and Emperor Yujing walked over to him and said, "Today's incident has frightened the abbot!" ”

Abbot Yuanchen sighed lowly, in fact, he knew that the emperor was fake from the beginning, Abbot Yuanchen put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful, may the dead rest in peace!" ”

Emperor Yujing lowered his eyes and said, "Since you are here, then I will burn incense and pray for the people of Yuguo again!" ”

Abbot Yuanchen nodded, "Your Majesty, please!" ”

As a result, all the forbidden troops withdrew to the outside of the Temple of Heaven, and the ministers and generals of the forbidden army stood back in their original positions.

Emperor Yujing took three sandalwood sticks and lit them again, recited a few words of prayer in his heart, and then inserted the sandalwood into the Qingtian Ding.

Suddenly, Emperor Yujing suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing above his head. He looked up and saw a black figure at the top of the Temple of Heaven falling rapidly. Emperor Yujing was a little panicked, he saw a pair of beautiful eyes, and there was a blue hand-painted lotus pattern in the corner of his eyes.

"Escort, escort, there are assassins!" Liu Ning, the general of the Left Guard, hurriedly shouted.
