Chapter 230: Saving the King of Diligence
King Huai came in time, but it was too timely. In a thousand times, this is the right time. It came early, it didn't have the effect now, it came late, and King Xu Ning had already got the edict. It is at this time, neither sooner nor later, that he can better show his rescue skills. did not hesitate to wait for most of the Praetorian Guards and Gyeonggi Guards to be killed and wounded before coming to the rescue, for his own interests, without any regard for anything else, this King Huai is also a wolf ambition.
King Huai led his troops in, pinching the people led by King Ning in the middle, he got off the horse, and his narrow and gloomy eyes stared at Jingzong tightly, "Sixth brother, I advise you to tie up your hands immediately." ”
Jingzong smiled coldly and said contemptuously: "Do you think that you can make this king capture with only such a few soldiers and horses?" Joke! "The people led by King Huai are all soldiers and loyal men, even if the Gyeonggi Guard has suffered heavy casualties now, they are powerless to compete in numbers.
"Oh? Is it? Jing Qian raised his eyebrows, the horsewhip in his hand was suddenly buckled on the palm of his other hand, waved to the side, and said, "Bring people up." ”
As soon as the words fell, there were guards next to him who tied up a few people. Jing Qian hooked his lips slightly, "Sixth brother, who do you think these people are?" ”
"Zong'er." Concubine Xian's coarse clothes covered her body, her head was messy, and she had long lost her former demeanor. She was suppressed by the guards, trying to break free but unable to move.
Jing Zong held his hands in a circle, and glared at Jing Qian angrily, "Jing Qian, you are about to release my mother concubine." ”
"Okay, as long as you order everyone to put down the knife, I'll let your mother go." Jing Qian pointed to the other suppressed people, "These people are the wives and children of several captains, do you also plan to follow King Ning, and don't even want them?" ”
Several captains of the Praetorian Guard looked at each other, anxious and anxious, "King Huai, woe to your wife and children, you are too despicable." ”
Jing Qian's eyes were cold, and he said, "This king is despicable? Aren't you a few chaotic ministers and thieves trying to steal my Great Qin Jiangshan? You want to persecute your father, and it is only fair for you to retaliate and restrain your wives and children. After a pause, his gloomy gaze swept over the faces of several lieutenants one by one, "Your family members have been controlled by this king, and if you don't want them to die, you should immediately put down your sword and surrender." ”
Among those caught was Wei Haoyuan's wife, the green tendons on his head were entrenched on his forehead like a green snake, and his scarlet eyes looked straight at her. Her wife was seven months pregnant, and she had to be pinned to the ground by the king's men with a large belly, without the slightest idea that she was pregnant. He was angry and worried, and turned his eyes to Jingzong, "King Ning, let's surrender, otherwise my aunt and Ruji will be in danger." ”
"Surrender now?" Jingzong was dumbfounded, and shouted angrily: "Having come to this point, surrendering now is a dead end." ”
Wei Haoyuan shouted loudly: "Don't you take care of your aunt? King Huai can do everything. ”
Jing Zong narrowed his eyes, and a fine light burst out of his eyes, "Let me surrender with a kick in the door, impossible!" He looked at Jing Qian, and pointed his sword at him, "Jing Qian, let them go quickly, if you dare to hurt them at all, when you take the Vientiane Palace, I will be the first to kill you!" ”
Jing Qian disagreed, raised his face and asked the guards to put the knife on Concubine Xian's neck, "Okay, then let's see if your mother dies first, or I die first." ”
Concubine Xian looked at the knife light in front of her neck, and even her breath trembled, but she didn't dare to tremble too much, for fear that the blade that didn't have long eyes would hurt herself. The tears in the eyes were like pearls with broken threads, falling down the cheeks to the knife, splashing rain, and the warm tears touched the cold blade, making a subtle sound. She was afraid, staring at Jingzong with a pleading eyes, her voice trembling, with a hoarse voice, "Zong'er, save my mother, my mother doesn't want to die." ”
Jing Qian glanced at him, and said to Jing Zong: "You heard it, your mother asked you for help." If you are truly filial, surrender immediately. ”
Jing Zong sank his breath, but the weapon in his hand did not loosen at all, looking at the mother concubine who was close to the blade, there were waves between his eyebrows. But for a moment, the more determined his eyes became.
"King Ning, let's stop." Wei Haoyuan saw that he didn't let go of his heart, and said.
As if ruthless, Jingzong slashed at him with a knife, "If anyone mentions the word "stop" again, this king will kill him first." There is one more step that the king can take down the Vientiane Palace, and you can be the marquis and worship the generals, how can you give up all your efforts now! He looked at Concubine Xian fixedly, "My mother has been for me all her life, doesn't she just want her son to ascend to the throne?" If the death of the mother concubine can be exchanged for the son's wish, the mother concubine should be blind even if she dies. ”
Wei Haoyuan looked at the sword that passed through his chest in disbelief, then looked at Jingzong, and pointed at him, "Jingzong, you······ You're so ruthless······ You ······"
Jingzong made up for it again, "No one can betray this king." ”
A mouthful of blood spurted out and squirted onto Jingzong's face, and Wei Haoyuan made a "ho-ho" sound in his throat and fell to the ground.
Jingzong killed him just to set an example, for fear that others would also defect, and only by disposing of the closest people could he stabilize the others.
However, relying on this alone to stabilize the morale of the military will often only backfire. Jingzong made a mistake in this step, not only will he not stabilize people's hearts, but he will lose people's hearts.
Mr. Liu's face was shocked, and he took a few steps back, away from him, "How can the prince be like this?" Lord Wei has followed the prince for many years, and he can be said to have done his best to die to the prince, and he is still your own cousin, how can you kill him? Today, Lord Wei just said something to persuade you, you will cut him, if I accidentally say something you don't like to hear in the future, is it not that Lord Wei will be our end? ”
Jingzong pointed his sword at him and shouted angrily: "You shut up this king, and if you say another word, this king will kill you." ”
Mr. Liu looked up to the sky and laughed, "Do you want to kill all your own people before you attack the Vientiane Palace?" What Master Wei said just now is right, Lord Wang, you are really ruthless. You can even ignore the life of your own mother, do you still care about the lives of others? He raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, with such a master, our fate can be imagined." Didn't any of you have great ambitions at the beginning, hoping to defend the imperial city, the emperor, and the people by yourself. But what are you doing now, you have followed this ruthless man to become a rebel and a thief. Even if you succeed, when your child grows up, you have to tell him that your current glory and wealth are of course obtained by being a rebel and a thief? ”
"You villain! I lost this ** to you, but I didn't expect you to slander this king here, scatter people's hearts, and turn against me! It's really not killing you, I can't solve the hatred in the heart of this king. The sword light seemed to be practiced, and Jing Rong slashed over with a sword, but fortunately, Mr. Liu dodged quickly to avoid this fierce sword.
Emperor Xuanwu saw that the people of Jinggi Wei had been shaken, and hurriedly said: "As long as you lay down your arms now, I will not pursue the matter of you following King Ning to force the palace today, and I have the right to treat you as being deceived by villains." ”
Jing Qian said: "Exactly, not only that, but your family will not touch them in the slightest, and will definitely return them to your home safely." ”
"King Rui's reinforcements have arrived." Mu Zhaolin stood beside Emperor Xuanwu, pointed to King Rui who came galloping from the palace gate, and said excitedly.
Emperor Xuanwu looked at it, and the joy in his eyes was even greater, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." His expression froze, and he said in a deep voice: "King Rui's reinforcements are coming, do you still have to insist?" ”
"This ······"
"What to do? What to do? ”
The Gyeonggi guards looked at each other, and they all had no idea.
A lieutenant suddenly said loudly: "Today, I waited until I saw the true face of King Ning, I thought he was a benevolent and righteous person, but I didn't expect that he was a ruthless and unrighteous person, and we people can be regarded as following the wrong master." He bowed to Emperor Xuanwu, "Weichen was bewitched by King Ning, and it was an unforgivable sin to do such a disobedient act." ”
He was alone, and one after the other, and all the guards laid down their arms and knelt on the ground. King Ning's injustice is on the one hand, on the other hand, reinforcements have arrived, plus the Praetorian Guard and the people of King Huai, they will lose sooner or later. Who wants to risk their own lives and those of their families to fight for others?
Jingzong stood in the center, his eyes reddened, and he slashed at the person who knocked with a knife, "You people······ Good, good, it's all a bunch of dogs who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Another knife went through the throat of one of the guards, his body staggered, he could barely stand, he tore his throat, and said in a dumb voice: "This king has been defeated today, not because of himself, but because of the hands of you people, you beasts who have lost their righteousness. ”
Between the words, King Rui had already led the reinforcements to the bottom of the jade steps of the Vientiane Palace, and he gave an order, "Take down King Ning!" ”
King Ning is not isolated, and he still has the dead to protect him. It's just that no matter how loyal and brave the dead are, they are outnumbered, and they are quickly defeated.
