Tonight, the Xiangwang Mansion was horrified to find that the King of Qingning, who had been as warm as a spring breeze in the past, had suddenly turned into a hellish Yama.

He is still smiling, but every hint of laughter hides infinite murderous intentions.

In addition to the fact that there was no crime against the female concubine, every secret passage and mechanism of the Xiangwang Mansion was exposed under the moon in the time of half a pillar of incense, and some secrets that even the people who thought they were the henchmen of the King of Xiang did not know were also recorded for the King of Qingning to consult. What's more, a brocade box was found in the dark lattice of the inner wall of the well in Wuyuan, which contained two egg-sized spheres, dark gray, with strange lines on them, floating strangely in the light.

It is said that this is the seed of a leech tick people.

Leech tick people, feed on human flesh and blood, ten years of dormancy, once out of the shell, only one move in their life, only one move to kill one person, invincible power, and because it can parasitize in the human body, no one will find it until the day of breaking the shell, even the host can not be detected, and the result is the best assassination tool, but it requires patience. And the leech tick man also has a characteristic, that is, before the seed is submerged in the human body, he has to tell who he killed, so even if it is far away, the leech tick man will find that target to carry out the task. And he has a weakness, if he can't complete the task within three days, he will die of thirst, so if he wants to use this to assassinate, he must arrange for the host to be near the target.

There are three empty slots in the brocade box, but there are only two Leech Tick Seeds at the moment.

King Qingning looked around, his smile charmingly in the firelight.

"Who knows where that seed went? If he does, the king will spare him from death. ”

His voice was as drunk and a little lazy, not at all like the dead soldiers who had just leveled the house and struggled to resist, and the group of dead soldiers were lying around, lined with the silence of this time, as if they were sleeping, of course, if they ignored the blood stains that meandered out from under them.

Everyone looked at each other.

Everyone knows that the emperor was attacked by leech ticks when he was hunting in the Yunchang enclosure half a month ago, if he confessed, this crime of killing the king and killing his father is afraid that the whole house will be implicated and imprisoned, beheaded and shown to the public, and who knows if the leech tick man was sent out by King Xiang? Again......

"How can the prince be sure that this must be the seed of the leech tick man?" Someone finally whispered doubts.

King Qingning smiled softly, picked up a round ball with his beautiful fingers, looked at it carefully, handed it to the man, and said softly: "This king is also very suspicious, how about ...... Why don't you try it? ”

The man immediately clenched his mouth and changed his complexion.

King Qingning looked around, his eyes clear: "Does anyone want to help this king make a judgment?" ”

There was a dead silence around, only the breeze stirred the treetops and led two osmanthus flowers.

King Qingning withdrew his hand with a little regret, continued to look at the round ball, and seemed to say to himself: "Three hundred years ago, it was prosperous to use leeches and ticks to assassinate people. Later, when fighting with the Void Kingdom, the enemy used the leech tick who had been ambushed by the Protector General to assassinate successfully, and the host turned out to be the wife of the Protector General. This eventually led to the fall of the Twelve Cities of Yunluo, and it took nearly a hundred years to recover them one by one. Since then, the successive monarchs of Tianhao have strictly forbidden the sting of the leech tick people, and vigorously searched for them, but anyone who finds the seeds or suspected hosts of the leech tick people will be burned by fire, but those who report and verify will be rewarded with a reward of 100 taels. Since then, the leech tick people have almost disappeared, and it is said that only the Los Angeles area still occasionally appears......"

Los Angeles is exactly where General Zhenxi, the uncle of King Xiang, guarded.

There was a deathly silence, only the sound of the wind sweeping through the grass, and the gurgling of blood flowing in the body. There is a fishy smell, dyed red the hollow moon.

"Does King Qingning want to slander my prince for rebellion?"

A voice came from behind the kneeling crowd, it was the concubine of King Xiang An Rong, and the two usually swaggering side concubines were shrinking by her side, only her, with her head held high, without the usual weakness.

Yuwen Xuanyi smiled slightly, noncommittal.

An Rongben was very cooperative with the palace guards to search the mansion, but suddenly heard the maid's urgent report, and when he drove out, he saw that the gorgeous mansion was in chaos at the moment, and people were kneeling or dying on the ground, and the fire was shining all around, lining the armor dazzling, and the demonic person was even more bewitching, and he couldn't help but feel on fire in his heart, and took a step forward, just waiting for the theory, but he heard a sound of horses' hooves coming quickly, and the sound of the report sounded with the sound of getting off the horse and kneeling on the ground: "King Xiang led the troops to rebel and has attacked Tianluan City!" ”

In an instant, the heavens and the earth collapsed.

An Rong was unsteady on his feet and almost fell to the ground, while the two side concubines and one concubine were already crying.

The people in the house were weeping or wondering...... Why did King Xiang rebel without any warning?

They should indeed be puzzled, because when the King of Qingning led his troops to search the Xiangwang Mansion, the King of Xiang also brought 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack Tianluan City to guard the Chongji Gate.

If you want to rebel, only 3,000 soldiers and horses are really a little less, because there are 10,000 palace guards, plus the outer Imperial Forest Army, it is 80,000 people. How could King Xiang be so risky?

Later, the generals of the Imperial Forest Army came to report that King Xiang was not unprepared, and when he attacked Chongji Gate, he also sent people to the military camp to order the general Xu Ce to go to the palace to defend the emperor together.

Xu Ce got this order, but under the pretext of not seeing the soldiers, he did not send troops, and secretly sent people to watch the movement, and the news was that the emperor had been slightly unwell recently, and some people said that he was worried because of too many surprises in the past few days, and as a result, he did not attend the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet to facilitate the rest of Zhaoyang Palace. Prince...... The former prince served in front of the bed with filial piety and listened to the teachings. King Xiang is also filial piety, and wants to go to Zhaoyang Hall to visit his illness, but he can't even enter Tianluan City, so he has to get a sentence from the former prince: "The emperor has already rested, and he doesn't see anyone, King Xiang, please go back." ”

If it was placed in an ordinary person's house, it would be fine, but it happened in the royal family. You must know that in the previous dynasty, there was a prince who took advantage of the emperor's critical illness to seize power and abolish the prince, and even killed the seriously ill emperor in order to sit on the dragon chair.

The waiter who passed the word said earnestly: "The overall situation has been decided, so King Xiang doesn't have to bother." ”

King Xiang was immediately terrified.

Could it be that the emperor is seriously ill and dying but the news is blocked, Yuwen Xuansheng intends to control the emperor and take the opportunity to ascend the throne? You know, the emperor has always been in good health, how could he suddenly not even attend the family banquet in the inner court? Could it be that Yuwen Xuansheng has poisoned the emperor and intends to usurp the throne?

So, he immediately issued an order: "Yuwen Xuansheng has been deposed, and the emperor has no edict to restore him." He held the emperor hostage, intending to usurp the throne, and the world will not tolerate it", and immediately ordered the people close to him, shouted "protect the emperor, kill and rebel", and said "do the world's righteous deeds", and went straight to Tianluan City.

Although King Xiang is in Beijing, he still holds the power of the army, and his soldiers follow him all the year round, all of them are brave and good at fighting, and they are experienced. So, the rockets were all on the ground, the arrows were like locusts, and in an instant, the sound of killing in the area of Chongji Gate shook the sky.

Although the guards of Chongji Gate were empty, after King Xiang left in anger, the former prince seemed to have a premonition to dispatch troops to guard Chongji Gate.

So King Xiang couldn't attack for a long time, but at this moment, the defenders on the Chongji Gate were in chaos, and someone was killed from the palace to carry out internal and external cooperation.

One of them had an extremely strange face, and the two eyebrows were very different, and it was Yuan Xiu, a second-class guard in the palace.

If so, King Xiang quickly broke through the Chongji Gate and led his army straight to the Zhaoyang Palace.

Invincible all the way, but when they killed to Zhaoyang Palace, they suddenly saw Yuwen Xuansheng holding a long sword, and rushed out from the inside with a cadre of guards and eunuchs in the palace, shouting "Kill and rebel, protect the emperor".

The thief shouts to catch the thief!

Yuwen Xuanti only felt ridiculous, and with a wave of his arm, the two sides fought together.

He was outnumbered, and King Xiang quickly gained the upper hand, but at this moment, a broken cry suddenly sounded in his ears: "Are you going to rebel?" ”

Everyone paused and looked at the voice, but saw the emperor standing on the steps, his eyes were mighty, and his face was deep.

The weapon was thrown to the ground in an instant, and there was a sound, and then everyone knelt down in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

But only Yuwen Xuanti stood still.

The emperor was furious: "King Xiang rebelled, take it for me!" ”

Immediately, someone stepped forward and grabbed Yuwen Xuanti.

Yuwen Xuanti was infinitely powerful, but he didn't dare to struggle, he only shouted: "Erchen is here to protect the emperor's ......"

Yuwen Rong was faintly angry, and his eagle eyes scanned the surroundings: "You are protecting me like this?" ”

"The son is ......"

"We are here to protect the emperor, the prince has no way, and intends to seize power......"

Some of the soldiers who came with him picked up their weapons and wanted to save King Xiang from breaking through, but the surrounding area suddenly lit up with fire.

I don't know when, countless guards have surrounded the Zhaoyang Palace.

The leader is a person, wearing a cloud-white robe, with fluttering clothes, like a fairy Linfan, it is the king of Wending, who is not involved in any political affairs and does not even go to the court on weekdays.

Yun Bai almost disappeared into the fire in the sky, but it was difficult to take his eyes off, if it weren't for something suddenly squirming under his feet, Yuwen Xuanti wouldn't have noticed that there was still a person lying on his stomach...... Untied, dragging a leg.

The man struggled to his feet, looked up, and looked this way...... The scars on his face are vertical and horizontal, the firelight is jumping, and the changes in the depth and shade of those scars are terrifying.

Suddenly, another report was made that it was Su Mufeng, the commander of the forbidden army.

The armor was added, he landed on one knee, and his tone was calm and sonorous: "The Xiangwang Mansion has raised dead soldiers, and they have been plotting for a long time, but they have all been wiped out at this time. It was also found that the thunderbolt wood used for the curse and the seeds of the leech tick who carried out the assassination had been burned on the spot by the king of Qingning! ”

King Xiang was stunned for a long time, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and was about to shout, but he was restrained and fell to the ground, gagged, and tied up.

He could only stare at Yuwen Xuansheng angrily.

Yuwen Xuansheng was wounded in his left arm in this battle and was being helped by the imperial doctor who rushed to treat him.
