Chapter 22: Hatred is rife
When Chang Hui led the Han Iron Cavalry back to the palace, the hall of singing and dancing was already a sea of blood, but fortunately, the Han envoy's guards obeyed Chang Hui's orders to surround the palace gates in the east, west, north and south, and the assassins were still trapped in the palace.
Dawan's guards fought with the assassins, suffering heavy casualties, and no one expected that the well-behaved birthday banquet would turn into a human purgatory, and the hasty counterattack was inevitably powerless. In fact, not only the guards, but even the princes and nobles who secretly assisted Isanke did not expect him to dare to attack on such an occasion.
This is exactly Isanke's plan, a plan to be foolproof, he just wants to choose such an occasion, let the old king die tragically in front of everyone, and let Dawan fall into chaos again. Agarwood disguised herself as a palace maid to pour wine for the guests, making sure that each of them drank the sweat medicine she had secretly put into the jug. Sure enough, within half an hour, nine out of ten of the guests, including the king and queen, were unconscious.
Shi Zhong and Chang Hui did not drink in order to protect Liu Ye, although this is a considerable threat, but after all, they have to consider Liu Ye's safety first, and as for protecting the king and queen of the country, they are more than willing to do it. At this moment, Isanke's body and mind have been occupied by hatred, no matter whether he can leave the palace alive or not, as long as he can kill the old king, there will be no regrets in avenging his father.
Isanke had beheaded the old king with his own hands, but he was not as comforted and joyful as he had expected, he had waited too long for this moment, and he had sacrificed his pride and happiness for it, and since his father's death, he had not lived a day of comfort. With a disgusted woman in his arms, and a body to please her, he was no different from the women in the kiln who betrayed their hues.
However, he finally took revenge, and finally got what he wanted, but the greatest wish in this life made it impossible to be nostalgic to die now.
"Don't take revenge, okay, let's go now, go to a place where no one can find us, it's also good to follow you to eat chaff, I'll give you a lot of children, and we'll live happily ever after......"
Agarwood's heartfelt plea swirls in his ears, happiness? Does he deserve to be happy? Esanke smiled bitterly, no, he wouldn't choose that kind of life of compromise, rather than living for decades, it would be better to die a bang! This is his fate, his choice!
Esank fearlessly confronted the screaming guards, avenging the humiliation he had suffered over the years, and he numbly slashed people he didn't know like an unconscious killing machine. He is not afraid of death, but he will not send him to death, and he has not had time to thank these brothers who are advancing and retreating with him behind him, no matter what, he has to fight a bloody way for them.
Without them, he would not have been able to succeed in revenge, and without them, the old king would not have died at his hands, and of course, the person he should be most grateful for was the Prince of Rest, Tu Qitang.
Tu Qitang arranged everything for him, infiltrated the Han military camp to learn swordsmanship, pretended to be the person leading the dancer on stage, and stabbed the king directly under the cover of his helpers. Tu Qitang paved the way for him to fulfill his wish, and he really didn't know how to thank him. Not to mention what Tu Qitang's motives are, he should be grateful just because he is willing to help unconditionally.
Esanke didn't have the heart to think about Tu Qitang's motives anymore, maybe his motives were not motives, as a high prince of rest, what was he thinking in his heart, how could ordinary people understand it!
When the Han rescuers arrived, Esanke panicked, and the helpers arranged by Tu Qitang for him also began to panic, playing more and more messy, and stumbling out of the crowd. Esanke rushed to the front, his face was scarred, but he still didn't even frown. He still has a task that must be accomplished, and he must not fall here.
"Brothers, can you do me another favor? I'll open the way in front, and you will kill you to the dormitory and take the life of the princess of the Han Dynasty!" Without mercy, Esank cut off the heads of the guards in front of him, covered in blood, like an executioner crawling out of Hades' palace.
The helpers he called "brothers" looked at each other, this Isanke was indeed righteous enough, like a madman to block the sword for them, and he was very good at fighting against a hundred, God knows where he got such strong willpower.
"Princess Han? Do you mean that Lady Wusun is the princess? Our character is to assist you in assassinating King Dawan, now that the mission has been completed, evacuate as soon as possible, why bother with it! ”
"But isn't it, didn't you hear that the rescuers of the big man entered the palace, and when they come over, you and I will be unable to fly!"
"Forget it, what grudge does the princess have against you, it's just a woman, let her go, let's run for our lives!"
“…………”
The opposition around him did not dispel Esanke's thoughts, Dahan Dawan is his enemy, and now that King Dawan is dead, how can he be buried without Princess Dahan. Yes, he has enough to live now, but if he can easily kill Princess Jiewei, won't he make money!
"Brothers, if you don't do it, it's an unforgivable crime for us to assassinate King Dawan, why not do it again, and take advantage of the situation to destroy the limelight of the Han Dynasty. In the final analysis, Dawan is just a puppet of the Han Dynasty, how arrogant is the Han Dynasty's unscrupulous burning, killing, and plundering in the Western Regions, and the people of the Western Regions are deeply affected by it! Don't be lucky, sooner or later the Han will kill to rest in peace, trample on your homeland, bully your family, and wait until that day, but it's too late to regret it! ”
Ethan struggled to convince Tukitang's men, and they involuntarily followed him to the dormitory, undecided whether or not to wade into the muddy waters. Tu Qitang's order was to help him assassinate King Dawan, and he didn't mention a word about the princess of Dahan, if they killed the princess in a hot head, how would they go back? Tu Qitang's attitude towards Princess Dahan is still unclear, and it doesn't seem to mean to harm her at present, they still have this bit of eyesight!
"Brother Esanke, we can only send you here!" Tu Qitang's men were clubbed at the foot of the mountain, not daring to take a step forward, looking at Esanke in embarrassment, and persuaded one after another.
"It's still too late to leave, the guard next to the princess doesn't look easy to deal with, big brother, you don't have to be his opponent."
"Yes, it's better to die than to live, so don't die! While the Han army hasn't chased after you, run away if you can! ”
Esanke's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and glared at them angrily: "In a word, do you help or not?!" ”
They glanced at each other and shook their heads again and again: "Big brother, please understand, we dare not disobey our master." ”
"Well, now that you've decided, I'm not going to force it. Brothers, there will be no time in the future! "Isanke is red-eyed, no one can listen to it, I never thought that I would be able to live, and now I have the strength to deal with the Han princess, I can only say that God treats him well. It is a generous treatment, and it cannot be said if it is not used well.
Tu Qitang's subordinates saw that he had made up their minds, so they didn't say anything, and fled along the mountain path. They are just acting on orders, so as not to be the target of the Han army, besides, they still have to save their lives, it doesn't matter if they die, but if they die and expose their identities, then they will cause trouble for their masters.
Ethan looked up at Liu Ye's dormitory, estimating how many guards there were around the dormitory, and how much strength he still had to deal with Shizhong after killing them all. Roughly speaking, as his brothers say, the odds of winning are close to zero.
However, he was not willing to give up any chance, he had thought that he would never be able to assassinate the king, but now he did so! Nothing is impossible in the world, as long as he doesn't give up!
Esanke went straight up the mountain, carrying a blood-dripping sword, staring viciously in the direction of the dormitory. Suddenly, a soft cry came from not far away, which made him stop. Looking back, the man was Agarwood.
Agarwood quickly caught up with him, looking at his injuries from head to toe with great concern, and wailed, "What else do you have to do?" Kill the princess? Let it go, Esanke, you've got your revenge, what's not to be satisfied with? Let's go, let's go together! ”
Isanke sneered: "Go? Where to go? The Han army surrounded the palace, and I looked like an assassin like this, and I would die if I left, and I would die if I stayed, and I would as well pull a few more pads. ”
"You, you're obsessed!" Agarwood was so anxious that tears fell, hugged his hand holding the sword, and persuaded bitterly, "Let's find a place to hide first, and when the Han army leaves, we will leave!" Trust me, I can get you out of the palace safely......"
Ethan shook her off impatiently: "If you want to go, you go, Princess Dahan will not die, I will not go." ”
As soon as the words fell, Esanke and Agarwood noticed that someone was coming down the mountain, and hurriedly hid to the side, seeing that the person's outfit was a Han girl, Esanke smiled proudly: "God help me, God help me!" ”
Qing Ling was worried about Feng Yan, and she was also sad for the infatuation in the teacher, she ran down the mountain with tears in her eyes, and she didn't see Esanke and Agarwood hiding in the shadows at all.
Ethan grabbed Qingling, raised his sword and shook it in front of her eyes, and said with a hideous smile: "Han girl, if you don't want to die, take me to see the princess immediately!" ”
Qing Ling didn't even have a chance to exclaim, he was strangled by his neck, looked at the agarwood in front of him at a loss, and struggled desperately: "Let go of me, let go of my ......"
Ethan Ke held her arm like an iron tong, and the more she struggled, the tighter she strangled, Qing Ling only felt that her chest was suffocating, and she was about to suffocate to death.
Seeing that the situation was getting bigger, Agarwood looked east and west, and begged with a bitter face: "Please, let it go, do you have to take the princess's life to stop!" Okay, I'll go, I'll go, okay? ”
"Hmph, it's useless for you to go, wasting such a good opportunity!" Esanke dragged Qingling up the mountain, and said in a deep voice, "Later, you open the door and let me in, otherwise, I will cut your throat." ”
Qing Ling grabbed his wrists with both hands, his little face turned red, his eyes bulged outward, and he said with difficulty: "Hugh, don't think...... I, I won't die for you, you beast, open the door......"
Ethan narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth in annoyance, and said, "Okay, very good, if you want to die, I will fulfill you!" ”
Agarwood was so frightened that she cried out: "Stop, Isanke, your wish has been fulfilled, don't make enemies with the Han people again......"
"Shut up, trash!" Isanke scolded and raised his sword to slash at Qing Ling's neck, Qing Ling stared at the blood-stained blade and looked at the dormitory one last time. She didn't expect that at the moment of death, she was still thinking about him.
Determined to get rid of this obstacle, Esanke swung his sword down without blinking, and suddenly, his right shoulder tingled and he felt a sore right half of his body, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
Qingling was so frightened that she closed her eyes and fainted, and Isank dropped her, her left hand on her right shoulder, and turned around in disbelief, as his attacker walked out of the night.
