Chapter 157: The Side of Laziness
So far, the victory celebration has gone well. The faces of the civil and military officials were full of joy, but Ju Liang, the general of the scattered cavalry, looked preoccupied.
Ju Chong, who was standing on the right side of the prime minister's golden chair, hurriedly came to his side and asked why.
"Big brother, my eyelids have been jumping, I'm afraid we're about to get into a catastrophe. β
Ju Chong glanced sideways at Xiao Zhen on the golden chair, and said in a low voice: "You first figure out the occasion, don't talk nonsense, this ceremony can't tolerate the slightest mistake." β
"I'm afraid that after my premonition, I won't even die. Ju Liang bowed his body and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, "Although the relationship between the Prime Minister and his brothers is not very harmonious, but on the day we sent out the invitation, his fourth brother Yuyi should have arrived, and his two eldest brothers and third brothers, who were far away in Chilu Autonomous Prefecture, did not even send a reply to express their congratulations, which is really unusual." β
"It turns out that you are afraid that the Prime Minister will blame you, so let me explain it to you. Ju Chong touched the beard on his cheeks, and felt that what Ju Liang said was reasonable, so he leaned into Lu Zhen's ear and repeated it.
After hearing this, Fu Zhen locked his deep eyebrows, clenched the armrest, and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
Presumably, they were still haunted by the incident back then, so they deliberately did not come.
Before the coup d'Γ©tat, the four brothers had made a pact that whoever attacked the palace first would be the prime minister, and the other two agreed except for the unexpected, who had declared that he had no interest in it.
But no one expected that this was an expedient measure made by the three brothers in order to contain each other in the future, the third brother was brave and brave, and it was best to control it, and he was the right candidate for the deputy village master, and the fourth brother was born with a backbone, and he coveted the position of the head of the blood shadow village for a long time, if he was made the prime minister, he was afraid that his ambitions would be greater in the future, so the position of the prime minister naturally fell on his head.
These words were told to him separately by the first to attack the palace. It is to let him understand that in terms of strength, their brothers are by no means fierce opponents, and he can have the right and status he has now all thanks to his royal brother.
It would be a good thing that they didn't come, and then he would still be worried that there would be no excuse to punish them? Over the years, he had turned a blind eye to the many evil deeds of the Blood Shadow Troupe, and the people had been resentful for a long time, and it had been unfavorable to him for a long time, and when he was worried about it day and night, these substitutes for the dead came to the door of their own accord.
In the face of the righteousness of being tied with his hands behind his back, in fact, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he had to show a majestic appearance, and he slapped the chair handle with both hands and stood up, and shouted angrily: "Gomer! Are you going to rebel? Let my fourth brother go." β
With that, the people scattered in terror and fled, and the guards quickly surrounded the entire central square, all weapons aimed at the armored General Gomer.
Who knew that Gomel was not afraid at all, kicked the righteous in front of the evil spirit, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and said: "The Blood Shadow Regiment has done a lot of evil, and this general rebelled for the people, what's wrong?" Then he took out a holy decree full of the crimes of the Blood Shadow Regiment and handed it to Xiao Zhen through Ju Liang's hand.
"Second brother, save me!" "Second brother, save me!" Fuyi, whose face was covered with blood, broke free from the rope and hugged Yuzhen's thigh, "The eldest brother and the third brother were killed, you must avenge them!"
After he helped up the rebellion, he learned the causes and consequences of the battle in the Valley of Blood Shadow, and he blamed his own carelessness to give the other party a chance, and he had to stay calm and find out who was behind this matter......
A bright red dagger pierced from behind his back, and his stunned gaze swept over the splatters of blood.
"Second brother...... You ......"
Before the words fell, Xiao Zhen stabbed him in the chest several times, completely killing him.
"The fourth brother has repaid the sins he committed, and from now on there will be no more names in the world as 'Blood Shadow Troupe', I am willing to kill my relatives for the sake of the country, it is already atonement, and now it is your turn. Fu Zhen wiped the blood stains on the dagger with a handkerchief, and said without raising his head, "General Gomer, you trespassed on the victory celebration, falsely proclaimed the holy decree, and called the king's army without permission, the evidence of the three crimes is conclusive, no matter which one is a capital crime, come on! β
Hearing the sound of iron weapons clashing, the guards were all knocked down five paces away from Gomer, and Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan held swords in front of him.
"Don't think that if you find this rabble, you can go against me, it's just a few more people to accompany the funeral. Facing the two people who suddenly rushed out of the crowd, Xiao Lie was a little stunned, but quickly regained his composure, "Your Majesty, now it's your turn to come forward in person, Your Majesty?"
He shouted several times, but no one answered Jin Jiaone, and he suddenly felt very uncomfortable, could it be that Gomer still had a back hand? Thinking about it, I am afraid that now that the king's army has surrounded the entire city of Gara, such a grim situation makes him unable to care about the courtesy of the king's courtiers.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, Xiao Zhen was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, and her dilated pupils gradually lost the last bit of reason: "No...... This can't be, it's not His Majesty the King at all!"
"You traitors, where are you hiding His Majesty, hand me over quickly!" turned around and drew his sword from his belt, becoming extremely irritable, for he had seen the most hated person in his life, Ban Renji.
Only Ju Chong and Ju Liang are willing to protect him and deal with this person with him.
"You are right, King Xuanhuang is arrogant and lascivious by nature, and he is indeed not worthy of inheriting the throne. Ban Renji, who was dressed in light-colored cloth, slowly walked out of the army, holding a young man in a phoenix feather uniform in his left hand, "Let me introduce you to the twenty-eighth king of the Gara Kingdom, King Xuanye. β
When Youna and Ling Wenxuan, who were mixed in the crowd, saw that person, they exclaimed in unison.
"Oh my God, isn't this Xuan Wenyan? It's him!" Yu Na hurriedly told the curious people what they had known about, she was only interested in Ban Renji's writings, and never doubted the identity of the shopkeeper.
After listening to her explanation, these people who were not scared away by the surprise attack of the king's army were even more looking forward to the next development, she touched her head and smiled at Ling Wenxuan, but the other party had to smack her tongue helplessly.
After all, their original plan was to let Mu Yunxi, Liu Yuhan, and Jiang Jianfei help General Gomer, and the others covered the evacuation of the people.
Now I only hope that this Ban Renjie can grasp the measure, and don't waste his hard work.
The sound of the battle between the king's army and the guards in front of him sounded in Ban Renji's ears, and he closed his eyes tightly, recalling all the past events of the past thirty years, his wife and children who had fallen in a pool of blood, his burning home, and the precious collection that had been destroyed by human hands......
For the sake of this country, he was burdened with infamy and lost everything, but it was all worth it, and now the exiled royal brother has regained the throne, and he can comfort the souls of those who have died in heaven.
Soon the country will be back on track under the leadership of a new generation of kings, and he will return to his original position, witnessing the retribution of those once invincible warrior groups get their due, just as the blood of countless unjust souls has tasted by the Warrior Blade, and one day he will taste it.
"It's definitely not good to feel like all the cards in your hand are useless. Ban Renji hunched over and approached the bloody face of the bluster.
Ju Chong and Ju Liang saw that Ban Renzhen was going to be unfavorable to the prime minister, and they wanted to resist, but they were helplessly subdued by Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan, the blade of the sword was on their necks, unable to move, and all the guards were also killed by the king's army.
Who knew that Na Yuzhen raised her eyes and glanced at Ban Renji, and laughed wildly.
"What are you laughing at?" Ban Renjie motioned to Jiang Zhifei behind Fu Zhen to tie his hands tightly.
"Do you think that if your 'yellow finch' destroys my 'praying mantis', you will be able to do everything without worry?" Yu Zhen suppressed her smile and bowed her head and said, "My brothers are just a few delicious 'cicadas' to me. β
"You'd better not play tricks on me, or I'll make your death ugly. As soon as Ban Renji's words fell, King Xuanye personally walked in front of Jin Jiao and bowed.
"Brother Wang, you and I haven't seen each other for many years, why don't you greet each other in person?"
King Xuanye ordered the guards on the left and right to pull up the curtains, and a man wearing a pale mask and wearing an imperial costume leaned sideways on the back of the chair, motionless. At his behest, the guards removed their masks, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.
This person was undoubtedly the King of Xuanhuang of the Gara Kingdom, and at this time his lips were purple and he had completely stopped breathing.
With a wail, Xuanye Wang Qingjing's violent hands grabbed Xiao Zhen's collar: "You dare to kill the king and murder my brother Wang! What else can be explained for such a great crime? Tell me quickly, where are you hiding the crown of courage?"
Unexpectedly, Na Xiaozhen still kept smiling bitterly: "I just said, there is still an 'eagle' behind the 'Yellow Sparrow', you don't believe it, Your Majesty the King didn't kill me." β
Seeing that he was so arrogant, King Xuanye directly drew his long sword to kill Xiao Zhen, but was blocked by Liu Yuhan and Jiang Jianfei with a joint swing of the sword.
"What do you want to do? Shouldn't such a thief be cut with a thousand knives?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, if it is as he says, I am afraid that the murderer is someone else. After speaking, Mu Yunxi picked up the white mask that fell to the ground, and when he turned over the back of the mask, a line of small but extremely familiar words once again attracted his attention.
He disguises his laziness with a mask of indifference.
Thousands of thoughts condensed in Mu Yunxi's heart, and he interlocked his fingers with his hands, carrying out complex logical reasoning.
His Majesty's death is so similar to that priest, they are all wearing strange masks, and the text on the back must be some kind of hint of the murderer, when the priest died, the murderer stole the Ring of Miracles, and when the king died, the crown of courage was also missing, considering the strict security environment around the ceremony, it was difficult for the murderer to escape from the scene of the crime in the first place, based on the previous murder, he deduced that the murderer was likely to be their acquaintance, so ......
Hearing only the crisp sound of snapping his fingers, Mu Yunxi suddenly opened his mouth, leaned into Ban Renji's ear and whispered a few words, and the other party nodded and understood.
After the guards called Ling Wenxuan, You Na, Lan Lingxiang, and Xian Cheng who were mixed in the crowd, Mu Yunxi cleared his throat and announced loudly to everyone: "The murderer of His Majesty the King is among us. β
