Chapter 192: Killing with a Knife
After getting the elixir, the trouble of Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, began. On the night when he pretended to send off the king of Huainan, several strange things happened in his mansion in a row......
Since he followed the advice of Changsun Gong, taking the elixir of life is against the sky, and he must fast for 100 days before that. At that moment, he didn't immediately take this pill, and he had to find an auspicious day to start fasting for a hundred days, and Liu Fa didn't plan to waste the previous few days. After returning to his palace, he was tired of being with the two beauties of Zhao Guo, and after sleeping until midnight, he woke up and found that the two beauties were no longer by his side.
Liu Fa called the waiter who was guarding the door, but no one answered after shouting for a long time. At this time, the king of Changsha was still in a dream, and he opened the door vaguely, and saw that the entire palace was shrouded in a thick fog. The fog was so thick and terrible that I couldn't see anything but snow white.
At first, Liu Fa really thought that he was still in a dream, but now he continued to walk out in a daze. However, after walking a few steps, he tripped over a soft object under his feet. The pain of falling his body when he fell to the ground made Liu Fa realize that this was not a dream, and what made him even more creepy was that after Liu Fa fell to the ground, he saw that it was a corpse with a different body that was about to trip......
Liu Fa, who was frightened, immediately shouted at the top of his throat, but until he shouted and vomited blood, he didn't see the guards and chamberlains coming. Liu Fa, who was out of guts, couldn't find his bedroom, which was originally behind him, but after falling, Liu An couldn't distinguish the direction when he got up. After running like a headless fly for a while, I don't know what I bumped into, and after a sharp pain in my head, I don't know anything.
When Liu Fa woke up, it was already the next morning, he was on the bed in his bedroom, and the two beauties who had been accompanying him were nowhere to be seen. The first thing I saw was the doctor in his house and the minister of state, Zhiyang, the eldest grandson......
If it weren't for the headache with vertigo, Liu Fa would have thought that what he encountered last night was just a dream. After seeing his Royal Highness wake up, Changsun Gong swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and said, "Your Highness...... You...... What happened last night? You've made such a big fuss......"
"What's going on? You ask the king? Eldest Sun Gong, are you talking about human words! "If it weren't for the headache now, now Liu Fa would have jumped up and slapped Changsun Gong? After covering his head and humming for a long time, he said to the frightened Zhiyang Hou: "This king asks you, what happened last night?" Where are those two beauties? Also, what about the dead body outside the door? Is it someone who wants to assassinate the king? ”
"Your Highness, you really can't remember anything?" Seeing that his Royal Highness was looking at him with a confused expression, Changsun Gong said what he saw when he rushed over in the morning......
Before dawn, the prime minister of Changsha was woken up by his subordinates. said that there was a Taishou from the capital outside who asked to see him, and Changsun Gong, who was holding his stomach and getting up, asked his subordinates to call the people who asked to see him in. If there is nothing important to shake the country's foundation, he will personally beat this Taishou out with a stick.
This Taishou came with two captains who patrolled the city, and the three of them were sweating profusely, and after seeing the Prime Minister, they didn't have time to salute, so the Taishou said in a panic: "Your Excellency, something big happened in the palace." Some soldiers patrolling the city saw that the palace was shrouded in fog, and the guards guarding the gate had their heads cut off. I successively sent two teams of more than 100 people into the house to check, and both teams of people were mud cows into the sea and generally went and never returned. The lower officials were afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Changsha would have an accident in the palace, so he dared to disturb the dream of the Prime Minister......"
I heard that something happened to the palace, and Changsun Gong didn't feel sleepy anymore. At the moment, he didn't have time to change his official uniform, so he put on a cloak and hurried to the palace. At this time, the palace was surrounded by the officials and soldiers who guarded the yamen, but these officials and soldiers were all afraid. They emboldened each other, but as soon as there was a disturbance in the palace, they were afraid that they would run away.
At this time, Changsun Gong didn't have the heart to pay attention to these officers and soldiers. He looked at the Changsha Palace, which was shrouded in thick fog, and his heart began to tremble. This strange fog only appeared inside the palace, and there was no sign of fog outside the palace. From time to time, strange sounds sounded in the mist.
All the fame of Changsun Gong is pinned on the body of Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, if Liu Fa has three long and two short, the first person to carry the black pot is him, the minister of Changsha. At the moment, Changsun Gong couldn't take care of much, and ordered Taishou to organize people to enter the mansion again to investigate. No matter how much it costs, you must find out whether His Royal Highness the King of Changsha is alive or dead. But if there is a glimmer of hope, we must rescue this highness.
Originally, these soldiers had already broken their courage, but there must be brave men under the heavy reward. The Prime Minister paid a hundred gold, and finally gathered twenty soldiers who were not afraid of death and rushed into the palace.
I waited for an hour, but I didn't see the twenty soldiers come out. Just when the eldest grandson Gong and others were impatient, preparing for the fourth wave of people to enter the palace. The dawn broke in the east, and the sky slowly brightened. Strange to say, the dense fog in the palace dissipated in an instant after seeing the sunlight. Changsun Gong and everyone watched as the mist quickly dispersed at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing an extraordinary Changsha palace inside.
After the fog cleared at dawn, the gloomy aura inside was swept away, and it didn't look so terrible. At the moment, under the support of a group of officials and soldiers, the eldest grandson Gong and the capital Taishou entered the palace. When I came in, I saw a miserable situation like purgatory on earth......
The whole palace was full of dead people, most of whom were killed by the sword. There are also some people who can't see the cause of death on the surface, but according to the explanations of the people who came in with them, these people have broken their livers and gallbladders, and they were all scared to death. The whole palace is full of dead people, and the strangest thing is the treasure house of the palace. This is the place where the King of Huainan collected his private treasures, and all of Liu An's treasures will be hidden in this place.
Almost all of the people who died here were fresh faces, and in addition to the two beauties sent by Zhao Guo, there were more than thirty corpses that Changsun Gong had never seen before. Moreover, most of these people are monks, and when they die, they still hold all kinds of strange-looking magic weapons in their hands. What's even more strange is the two beauties, the two of them have also changed into monks, and one of them has a bronze sword engraved with runes in his hand.
The cause of death of these people was killing each other, and judging from the scene, thirty-six people went into the treasure house, and none of them went out, and all died at the hands of others......
Fortunately, the princess fell out with Liu An because of Zhao Guomei's affairs, and took several princes and princesses back to her parents' home. Only then did he get away with it. However, when looking for Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, he wasted a little effort. originally thought that such a big scene, His Royal Highness the King of Changsha would not escape death, but after taking a turn in the house, he found Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, who was still in a coma, under a corridor. Judging from the injury on his head, this highness crashed into the pillar of the cloister and knocked himself unconscious.
There are no living people in the palace except for Liu Fa, thinking of the brothers of the king of Changsha who like to recruit monks as guests, Changsun Gong imagined in his heart that His Royal Highness the king of Changsha could not do it behind his back and also recruited monks from all over the world, and the tragedy in the palace was done by His Royal Highness himself, according to the two beauties who died in the treasure house, you can lean on the side of the flower case, but the temper of this highness is too big. Isn't it just that my wife steals people? As for making such a big commotion?
Liu An, the king of Changsha, was mixed up, but he was not stupid, and he heard Changsun Gong tell that he was dead in the palace. He guessed what was going on, no wonder his face had been torn that night, and Xiao Liu Xi, the king of Huainan, still wanted to give this elixir to himself, it was rare that he was so young that he already knew what it meant to kill with a knife......
At the same time, in a town thirty miles away from the capital of Changsha, Xiao Liu Xi heard the announcement that he had sent to Changsha City to work in detail. At that moment, he sighed softly and said, "It's so big, it seems that the road behind is not easy to walk......
