Chapter Eighty-Eight: Framed
"Are you trying to kill me now?" After Emperor Ziwei finished laughing, he calmed down and said.
Qiu Ye nodded, "You have no use value anymore." And, you know too much for us to keep with you. ”
Emperor Ziwei was silent, and after a while, he suddenly sneered, "No, I should still have the last bit of value." ”
He raised his head and looked at the two of them mockingly, "If Benjun is not mistaken, you plan to kill me, and then blame Tianshu for my death." That's why you arranged a separate peace meeting. Am I right? ”
Qiu Ye's eyes showed appreciation, and he said, "It is worthy of Emperor Ziwei." When we weren't fascinated by the properties of the medicine, we were still wise and wise, and we could see our intentions at a glance. But even if you knew, it wouldn't be useful, because ......"
As he was talking, the Southern Dipper Star Monarch had already slowly walked in front of the Ziwei Emperor, and while his medicinal properties were not exhausted and he couldn't move, a sword went down and pierced through his heart.
"Because, you're dead." Qiu Ye continued to speak, with a cruel smile on his face, watching Emperor Ziwei slowly fall in front of him with his eyes open.
In the big tent of the Chinese army of the Protoss.
"Peace talks?" Tianshu asked in surprise, "Emperor Ziwei sent someone to send it?" ”
"Yes." Lang Chuan nodded, handed the envelope with the Arctic emblem to Tianshu, and said with some confusion, "The Arctic Army surrendered so easily?" I thought I'd have to fight at least a few more battles? ”
Tianshu opened the envelope and looked at the contents of the letter, frowning.
"What does the letter say?" Lang Chuan asked curiously.
After Tianshu finished reading it, he folded the letter and put it back before he spoke, "Emperor Ziwei invited me to meet alone to discuss peace talks. ”
"Meet alone?" Lang Chuan also frowned, "They don't want to cheat, do they?" ”
Tianshu said, "It's hard to say. At this meeting, Emperor Ziwei seemed to have changed as a person, which was really unpredictable. ”
"Are you going?" Lang Chuan asked.
"Go, of course." Tianshu said, "If the war can really be resolved through negotiation, it will naturally be the best. ”
"However, my subordinates are worried about your safety." Lang Chuan said uneasily.
Tianshu thought for a moment and said, "In this way, Lang Chuan, you bring some guards with high spiritual power and go with me." When I went in for peace talks, you kept outside. If something happens, we can also have a response to each other. ”
"That's good, I'll arrange it." Lang Chuan agreed, and asked, "When are we leaving?" ”
"Without further ado, just tomorrow." Tianshu Dao.
Lang Chuan nodded, "That's right." The sooner you settle down, the better, and save yourself a lot of long nights. ”
The two discussed the precautions again, and Lang Chuan retired and went down to arrange the arrangement.
Early the next morning, Tianshu took Lang Chuan and dozens of elite soldiers and set off for the negotiation site.
The meeting place is located along the Arctic Army's garrison, in a small courtyard made of evergreen pine.
Nandou and Beidou, the two star monarchs, were guarding the gate of the small courtyard, and when they saw Tianshu, they saluted him and said, "Welcome Xingjun, my family has been waiting inside for a long time." ”
Tianshu nodded, and motioned to Lang Chuan and the others to stay in the secret place outside with the corner of his eye, and once he found something wrong, he immediately sent him a signal.
Lang Chuan nodded slightly, exchanged glances with him, and then turned to leave.
The guards led Tianshu into the courtyard, led him to the door of an elegant hut inside, and then stopped, made a 'please' gesture, and said, "My lord is in the house, Xingjun, please." With that, he turned and withdrew.
Tianshu didn't think too much, he walked up directly and knocked on the door twice, but no one responded inside.
He frowned slightly and put his hand on the door. The door was unlocked, and with a slight push from him, it creaked open.
Tianshu took a few steps into the house, but did not see a human figure. He looked inside again, and was stunned for a moment.
Emperor Ziwei was covered in blood and fell to the floor, his face was blue, his eyes were wide open, and he looked dead.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have sent your seal." Nandou Xingjun's voice suddenly came, waking up Tianshu, who was in a daze.
He said "not good" in his heart, and just wanted to stop it, but Nandou Xingjun had already strode in. Seeing the death of Emperor Ziwei, he exclaimed, and the tray and seal in his hand fell to the ground.
He pointed at Tianshu and said angrily, "You killed my family's king!" Why do you do such perfidy when you have promised peace talks? ”
Tianshu frowned and explained, "I didn't do it, when I came in, Emperor Ziwei was already like this. ”
"You still dare to quibble, who else can you be? Could it be that there are still people in our Arctic Army who will assassinate their masters? Nandou Xingjun said angrily. He no longer listened to Tianshu's arguments, flicked his sleeves, turned his head and ran out to call someone.
"What's going on inside? How did you panic? The Big Dipper-kun was waiting outside, and when he saw him come out, he asked.
Nandou Xingjun made a sad and resentful appearance, "Jun is on him, he was killed." ”
"What?!" The Big Dipper Star Monarch was shocked, pushed him away, and strode into the house, and sure enough, he saw the Ziwei Emperor lying on the ground with no breath.
Angry, the Big Dipper Monarch drew his sword, pointed at Tianshu, and said angrily, "Tianshu, you untrustworthy villain! My lord is already willing to surrender in exchange for peace in the Arctic, why do you want to kill them all? ”
Tianshu said calmly, "You guys calm down, the matter hasn't been clarified yet, don't be impulsive yet." ”
"What else do you need to look up? Isn't it all obvious? Apart from you, who else is my family's opponent here? Who else but you can kill him? "Nandou Xingjun said.
Lang Chuan also heard the movement inside, and hurriedly rushed in to separate the sword of the Big Dipper Star Monarch. The elite soldiers of the Protoss lined up in front of Tianshu.
Not to be outdone, the soldiers of the Arctic Army immediately surrounded the entire courtyard under the order of the Southern Dipper Star Monarch.
"Okay, everyone, calm down." Tianshu said in a deep voice.
"My family is in trouble, how can you let us calm down?" Nandou Xingjun said.
Tianshu pushed away Lang Chuan in front of him, slowly stepped forward, and said to the soldiers of the Arctic Army, "Everyone, I know that those who can be selected as the escort of the peace talks must be the henchmen of Emperor Ziwei. Emperor Ziwei was suddenly in trouble, and your hearts were sad, I can understand this.
However, this matter is certainly not that simple, there must be a conspiracy behind it.
Think about it, why did I kill Emperor Ziwei? If you were planning to surrender, why should I do such a detrimental thing to others?
But if you think about it from another angle, let's say that someone killed Emperor Ziwei and then blamed me for the crime, then he can divide the two of us. Perhaps, he had other ulterior motives.
In short, it is true that I did not kill people. But I promise here that I will find out the truth, seek justice for Emperor Ziwei, and give you an explanation. Please trust me again. ”
After listening to him, the soldiers of the Arctic Army were silent.
At this time, the Big Dipper Star Monarch also calmed down and said, "Indeed, Du Shi Xingjun has no motive to kill. ”
Nandou Xingjun snorted coldly, looked at Tianshu and said, "Maybe you support the peace talks on the surface, but oppose it behind your back." Therefore, he deliberately killed the Ziwei Emperor, so that not only the biggest threat was removed, but also the war could be provoked again and the North Pole could be completely recovered. ”
Tianshu frowned and looked at him, and said in a deep voice, "Although my Tianshu leads the position of warlord, I am not a warlike person. What's in it for me to start a war again? ”
"What is the benefit, of course, only the perpetrators themselves know." Nandou Xingjun said meaningfully.
Tianshu glanced at him and said coldly, "Anything that emphasizes evidence and empty words has no evidence, and I also ask Nandou Xingjun not to speculate on others." ”
"Evidence? Isn't that the proof? Nandou Xingjun pointed to the corpse of the Ziwei Emperor in front of him and said, "When the king passed away, you were the only one by your side, who else could have done it if you didn't do it?" There are all the human and material evidence, but you still refuse to admit it. Hmph, I really can't see that the great prince of the Protoss, Du Shixingjun, is such a guts rat who dares to do it. ”
Tianshu disdained to argue with him again. His eyebrows tightened, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "When was the last time you saw Emperor Ziwei?" ”
Beidou Xingjun thought for a while and said, "It was last night, and the king explained to me and asked me to send you a peace talk book." ”
"After you left, didn't Emperor Ziwei see others again?" Tianshu asked.
The Big Dipper shook his head, looked at the South Dipper again, and said, "I don't know about this, it was the South Dipper who was on duty to protect the king last night." ”
Nandou Xingjun said at this time, "I stayed outside the courtyard last night, and I didn't see any suspicious people entering. ”
"Really?" Tianshu asked.
Nandou Xingjun said righteously, "Of course, it is a matter of my family's safety, how can I let people in casually?" ”
Tianshu looked at Nandou Xingjun, and an unbelievable thought suddenly surged in his heart, but he then denied it himself.
Both the Southern Dipper and the Big Dipper were raised by the Arctic Ziwei Emperor, so they shouldn't betray him, right?
But if what they said is true, then who killed Emperor Ziwei?
"Since you don't want to admit it, why don't we report it to Heavenly Court and let Heavenly Court handle this matter?" Nandou Xingjun said impassionedly, "My family is one of the Four Emperors, and in terms of identity, even if it is the Heavenly Emperor, he is not qualified to execute him, let alone you gods juniors.
The king treated me like a mountain, and now he died so miserably. I swear to avenge him and seek justice for him. If Heavenly Court refuses to enforce the law impartially, then I, Nandou, would rather risk the condemnation of the world and violate the contract made by the monarch before his death, but also fight with the power of the North Pole and fight with Heavenly Court! ”
His words greatly boosted the morale of the Arctic Army, and the Arctic Army began to stir again, demanding justice for the Arctic Ziwei Emperor.
