Chapter 236: The Killer Emerges
"Thank you, His Royal Highness King Qi! I can't repay King Qi's great kindness, and I ask His Royal Highness King Qi to go back to Loulan Palace with me to discuss again! "King Loulan knew that Mo Jingli was a person who did not like to kill, and his temperament was kind to the people.
"Thank you, King Loulan!" Mo Jingli followed King Loulan to the palace of Loulan after a few polite words, Mo Jingli ordered someone to bring Ge Cheng's corpse over, King Loulan looked at Ge Cheng's corpse for a long time, his face looked very bad but he didn't cry.
After some thinking, King Loulan finally made a major decision, and the old face was resolute: "King Qi, I am willing to submit to the emperor and hand over the talisman, but I also ask King Qi to promise me that I can do it, and don't let down the innocent people of Loulan!"
King Loulan finally handed over the talisman to King Qi, and as soon as Loulan's talisman was handed over, he knew the consequences he would face after that. Once he handed over the talisman, then he was no longer the king of Loulan, and he could no longer be the lord of Loulan City.
Tian Yao was a little surprised by King Loulan's move, she didn't expect King Loulan to take out the talisman so quickly, she thought that it would take a lot of effort to get the talisman, but this saved them a lot of effort.
Mo Jingli pursed his lips and looked at the talisman he was looking forward to, with a faint surprise and heaviness in his heart, he untied all the green jade pendants on his waist, and slowly spoke: "I promise you!" This jade pendant is a token of this king, you take it, and someone will naturally place you in the frontier! ”
"I also counted Ge Cheng's wish!" Mo Jingli exchanged the jade pendant to the king of Loulan, the king of Loulan took the jade pendant and was a little moved, when he thought of Ge Cheng's death, although he was uncomfortable in his heart, he was helpless, after all, Ge Cheng committed a heinous crime.
"Thank you, His Royal Highness King Qi, for your kindness!" King Loulan glanced at him gratefully and took the jade pendant, and then said, "His Royal Highness King Qi must have worked hard from afar, why don't you follow me into Loulan Palace, and I will set up a banquet for King Qi to catch the wind and wash the dust!" ”
"Thank you King Loulan for that!" Mo Jingli had a polite conversation with King Loulan, and King Loulan arranged a banquet to entertain a few people, and Mo Jing was indeed a little hard away from them after a long journey, and it was obviously a lot more comfortable at the banquet arranged by King Loulan.
At the banquet, there were singing and dancing, and there were many local delicacies in Loulan City, and after some greetings, Mo Jingli got the talisman and completed the mission and was ready to leave: "Thank you King Loulan for this hospitality, if it's okay, then we have to go back!"
"Since that's the case, then I won't do much to keep it, I wish His Royal Highness King Qi a smooth journey!" King Loulan and his wife stood aside, a smile of relief appeared on their faces, since he was impressed by Mo Jingli's ability to arrange troops, he still had admiration for such talents.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when Mo Jingli and the others turned around, the team of guards behind King Loulan suddenly became assassins, and the assassins carried their swords and secretly attacked King Loulan and his family when Mo Jingli and the others turned around.
"Ahh Mother, I'm afraid, save me! A child was frightened by this scene, and couldn't help crying, King Loulan didn't seem to expect this, pulling his wife's room to escape left and right but still couldn't escape the doom, Mo Jingli was attracted by the child's cry, turned around and found that there was an assassin, so he took Dong Qing to help.
Mo Jingli captured an assassin, but found out that this person was the emperor's secret guard, how could the emperor's secret guard appear here? Mo Jingli frowned and looked at the injured assassin in front of him in confusion, and already had some guesses in his heart, but he still said coldly again in disbelief: "I know that you are the emperor's secret guard, you don't have to hide it from me, and tell me why you are here?"
The secret guard looked at Mo Jingli with a hint of resentment in his eyes, and finally when Dong Qing held the sword on his neck, he slowly opened his mouth to tell Mo Jingli the truth: "According to the emperor's secret order, after King Qi gets the talisman, his subordinates can take the head of King Loulan!"
"Damn! If you lie and deceive this king, this king will make your life worse than death. Mo Jingli was shocked and cursed after hearing this, and suddenly had a feeling that he had been tricked, the emperor's despicable and shameless behavior was to trap him in unkindness and injustice, Mo Jingli looked at the many royal guards disguised as assassins, and was extremely angry for a while.
"Huh! The subordinates are just acting on orders, so why should the prince not believe it? If you don't believe in your subordinates, there is no way, and the Loulan King family will die today! If the prince gets the talisman, he might as well leave for Beijing as soon as possible, so as not to let the emperor suspect that the prince has bad intentions! The nose spurter sneered, and the words he uttered were extremely unpleasant.
"You dog minion! My prince is also something you can slander? Dong Qing listened to the assassin's words, and couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and wanted to make a move but was stopped by Mo Jingli.
"Heh, the emperor is not afraid of being ridiculed by the world in the future if he acts so despicably?" Mo Jingli looked at the injured assassin with a hard mouth, and a faint mockery appeared in his eyes, he really disdained this behavior of the emperor.
"If the emperor does what he asks, how can we, the minions, slander him? The prince has not forgotten his identity! Or are you planning to rebel against the emperor for the sake of King Loulan's family? "The Assassin is clearly a henchman of the Royal Guard, and his words are perfect.
Mo Jingli captured only one of the secret guard's henchmen, and the assassins' heads had not yet been caught, and those assassins were still holding swords to kill the Loulan family. King Loulan naturally heard Mo Jingli's conversation with the assassin clearly, and no longer cared about his dignity as a man, he knelt straight in the direction of Mo Jingli.
"If the emperor wants to kill or chop me, please let my family go, they are all innocent, please let them go, they shouldn't be affected by me, I am willing to die!" King Loulan had sadness and determination on his face, Mo Jingli looked at his heart tightly, on one side was the emperor who had to be respected on the surface, and on the other side was the moral and upright King Loulan.
"Huh! According to the emperor's order, if the king of Loulan hands over the military talisman, regardless of him or his family, he will be killed! The assassin coldly repeated the emperor's secret decree, and he already explained the consequences of the Loulan king's family today.
However, King Loulan's plea did not exchange for the assassin's softness, and the assassin still killed the people around him regardless of it, from the wife of King Loulan who shared the same bed, down to the young children who were only eight or nine years old, all of them were spared.
Suddenly there was a cry at the gate of Loulan City, and for a while, the blood flowed at the gate of Loulan City, and the secret guard looked at the corpses all over the mouth of Loulan City, and was ready to go back to restore his life, Mo Jingli looked at the person who was still talking half a moment ago, and in a blink of an eye, he became the appearance in front of him, and closed his eyes in pain, and the cause of this incident was also part of him......
"Mo Jingli, these are all true? Is it true that the Loulan Wang's family has all been wiped out? Tian Yao looked at the gate of Loulan City in disbelief, her heart was full of shock and discomfort, and her beautiful and beautiful eyes had a hint of complexity in them.
"Didn't you say that you only need King Loulan to hand over the talisman? How did things still turn out like this? How could it still be like this? The emperor has already gotten the talismans, why do you want to extinguish them? Tian Yao was also a little shocked by this result, and tears slowly fell.
Mo Jingli looked at Tian Yao, who was puzzled and shocked, pulled out a far-fetched smile on his handsome face, patted her shoulder and comforted her softly: "Tian Yao, it is precisely because King Loulan handed over the talisman that he will be exterminated, the emperor is eager for the unification of his family and country, in order to prevent it from happening, he will naturally not give King Loulan a chance to rebel again, so this will ......be extinguished."
"But there are hundreds of lives in the Loulan Wang's family, how can they be killed if they are killed? How can the emperor ......" Tian Yao buried his head in Mo Jingli's chest, and the intermittent whimpering sound slowly came out, the bloody and violent scene just now still lingered in his mind, and as soon as he closed his eyes, it was the scene of the death of the King of Loulan's family.
At the gate of Loulan City, where the blood flowed like a river, Tian Yao simply closed his eyes and stopped looking, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the staggered corpses, and his eyes widened when he died.
"This is the usual trick of royal rulers since ancient times, and the emperor is also in order to sit firmly on the throne, so he ......" Mo Jingli also knew that she was sad about the scene just now, King Loulan did not hesitate to kneel down to protect the safety of his family, but in the end he still could not escape death, how could this make them not feel cold?
"But I still can't accept it, is the power of the throne so important? More important than human life......" Tian Yao was lying in Mo Jingli's arms and choked, she still remembered that Ge Cheng was in the prison at the beginning, and he hoped to keep his brothers and sisters safe, but now the Loulan Wang family is still dead.
"Tian Yao, we have done our best, sometimes it feels very uncomfortable to be involuntarily, which is why so many people are eager to climb to that position......" Mo Jingli's beautiful phoenix eyes were a little distressed, and he comforted softly for a moment, and several people prepared to leave for Beijing.
"There's nothing to be done at this point, let's go back!" Mo Jingli arranged a carriage, and several people were ready to leave for Beijing, and everyone knew about King Loulan in their eyes, and felt that this matter was really the emperor's fault, so no one mentioned it along the way, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing and delicate.
Mo Jingli rode a fast horse and looked at Tian Yao in the carriage, and looked back at the sad Loulan City at sunset, with mixed feelings in his heart. At the same time, in the capital of the Heavenly Kingdom, Mo Yufei was carrying his long sword, looking at the group of secret guards he had cultivated for a long time, thinking about the great things he might do, and he couldn't help but be a little excited, and there was a little excitement on the handsome face of the Yin Owl.
"Your Highness, have you really decided to force the palace to seize the throne? This matter is not trivial, does Your Highness need to think about it again? One of the henchmen hesitated to voice his doubts, with a little sadness on his face.
