Chapter 265: The Dust Settles
In the afternoon, Gu Tingjun and Su Tang'an got into the carriage and went to the palace to participate in the wedding ceremony of Emperor Yuguo.
The palace is full of joyful red, and there seems to be a festive atmosphere everywhere, but there is also danger and murder hidden under this festivity. The sun dragged its orange tail, leaving a blood-red cloud on the horizon, reflecting the inner courtyard of the palace more thick and majestic, and the unattainable height of imperial power, and the blood-colored storm under the gaudy beauty was about to begin.
The elegant and melodious music sounded, and the guests and ministers were immersed in this beautiful music, chatting with each other, their faces were filled with the joy of the county king's newlywed, but there was a trace of restlessness hidden in their eyes. The palace, which has only experienced the storm, may be about to have a new owner, and the future of these people is also confused and uncertain.
After Gu Tingjun and Su Tang'an arrived, they also joined this atmosphere.
Although many people know the name Xia Xue, few people have seen her, so even if Gu Tingjun took her with him, the minister only cast an ambiguous gaze and did not delve into her identity.
Time passed bit by bit, and finally the auspicious time came. Everyone was invited to the viewing platform.
On the top of the white jade staircase, the emperor and queen dressed in black background and red border auspicious clothes each held one end of the red silk and walked up slowly from both sides of the stairs.
At the top of the stairs, is a black Sun Pingying, she as a saint, not the first time to preside over the emperor's wedding, twenty-five years ago, when she first ascended the throne of the saint, personally presided over her sister's wedding, she thought that she would also preside over her niece's wedding with the next emperor, but she didn't expect that today would be in such a situation.
The complicated and solemn ceremony, everyone watched intently. I don't know when the danger will come behind this peace, or if it is just a false alarm on their part, the danger has long been removed unconsciously.
Halfway through the ceremony, eighteen dancers wearing ghost masks, holding wooden swords, danced their swords, dispelled evil spirits, and blessed the emperor and queen to be protected by the ghost king.
* And the weird dance, with a touch of evil and mysterious.
Under Sun Pingying's calm face, her eyes were slowly filled with murderous aura, and when the dancers danced around the emperor and queen, she suddenly shouted: "Kill!"
As soon as her words fell, the dancer looked at the emperor and queen fiercely at the same time, and the murderous intention was revealed. Turning the mechanism, the gaze in his hand broke, but inside was a murder weapon glowing with cold light, stabbing straight at the emperor and queen in the middle.
Those who are mentally prepared are shocked, and those who are not psychologically prepared are even more frightened.
"Escort!" someone shouted in a hurry, but the guards below were still a few battles away from the emperor, but was it too late?
The guards desperately rushed towards the emperor, but the cold sword in the dancer's hand had already pierced in, and just at the last moment, the eighteen dancers suddenly turned around, and the sword in their hands did not stab the emperor and queen, but protected the emperor and queen in a posture of guarding!
"What!" This situation was only Sun Pingying's surprise, what was the problem! She frowned, and hurriedly pointed to the guards around her with her eyes!
Gu Tingjun was the calmest person in the group, after all, he was the one who Dugu Qiyun had roughly planned.
And in Sun Pingying's plan, the eighteen dancers were just the first step, and she also arranged dead soldiers around, which after the eighteen dancers successfully acted, they rushed forward to kill all of them in the name of killing the assassins.
The emperor died, and Sun Pingying launched an ambush around the forbidden army, controlled the important ministers of the court, and in the name of the saint, united with other ministers loyal to the Sun family to elect the blood of the eldest prince as the new emperor.
And all her steps have been mastered by Dugu Qiyun, and everything now is just developing step by step in the direction he expected.
And the slaughter on the high platform continued, and the guards usually attacked the dancers, but the dancers protected the emperor and queen in the middle.
"Stop!" In a gap, Dugu Qiyun said coldly, "I order you all to stop and lay down your weapons, otherwise you will be punished for treason, all of them will be Ling Chi, and the nine clans will be connected!"
The guards froze for a moment, this was not the same as the original plan, in the original plan, they should now be the heroes who heroically get rid of the moment, not the rebellion in front of everyone.
"Go according to the original plan!" Sun Pingying shouted.
No one has a way out, and now that they are on this boat, they can only go all out.
They did not stop, but slashed at their Majesty and Queen. However, these eighteen dancers used a peculiar formation to firmly guard the emperor and queen in the middle, so that these guards could not succeed for a while.
At this moment, Qin Yangyi squinted his eyes and methodically commanded the guards on the left, some of them went to the rescue, and some of them protected the courtiers and guests from other countries.
Naturally, the Sun family would not sit still, although the first step of the plan failed, but before it was time to decide the victory, someone immediately released a yellow signal smoke into the sky, informing the forbidden army who was ambushed outside to enter.
And this move is also in Qin Yangyi's plan, these 30,000 forbidden troops, as early as a few months ago, they had already rebelled against a small number of leaders, and just an hour ago, these people had swung their knives at their compatriots, they killed the leader, and controlled part of the troops.
And their actions have already been leaked, and the others just rushed into the ambush circle that had been set up a long time ago, and lost their lives in vain.
The guards on the stage have been defeated and retreated, Sun Pingying was also in danger for a while, the 30,000 forbidden troops supporting them have been delayed, and the people of the Sun family began to panic, could it be that the 30,000 forbidden troops also have a problem? The 30,000 forbidden troops are their biggest reliance, even if today's plan fails, they can still break out of the encirclement through these 30,000 people and join up with the southern part. If something goes wrong with these 30,000 people, then they are really a failure!
"Go and see what's going on!" the Sun family hurriedly shouted.
At this time, a man covered in blood came forward and said: "There is an ambush ahead, and our people can't rush in!"
And at this time, Qin Yangyi had already commanded the guards on the right to wipe out the Sun family!
Someone was unwilling to point at Qin Yangyi's nose and scold him for being ungrateful, Qin Yangyi smiled disdainfully, didn't care, and took them all down.
Although some people resist, how can people who are used to enjoying themselves be aggressive anymore?
At the top of the steps, the battle was also one-sided.
Sun Pingying's people were almost slaughtered, and she watched everything coldly with despair and sneering until she watched her last person fall, until she watched the people of the Sun family below be wiped out.
"You lost. Dugu Qiyun looked at Sun Pingying coldly and said lightly.
"I admit I lost, and I lost completely. Sun Pingying smiled, "Dugu Qiyun, you won." ”
"I've given you a chance, including last night. Dugu Qiyun said coldly, "It's just that you don't know what it means to stop and let so many people bleed in vain." ”
"Didn't you shed blood when you killed the king and killed your father and your brother?" Sun Pingying smiled coldly, "What qualifications do you have to accuse me now? If you succeed, you are a hero, and if you fail, you are rebellious, and history has always been written by the victors." ”
"You are all the saints of Yuguo, I will give you a decent one. Dugu Qiyun said, "You can break it yourself." ”
"What will you do with the Sun family?" asked Sun Pingying.
"I have already said that all rebellions will be slaughtered!" Dugu Qiyun said coldly.
Sun Pingying bent down and picked up a knife on the ground, and smiled desperately and coldly: "I am willing to lose the bet, there is nothing to regret or regret!" But Dugu Qiyun, do you really think you have won? Even if I die, I won't let you win so easily!"
When the words fell, she suddenly let out a long shout, a black smoke overflowed from her body, and the knife in her hand was entangled in black smoke, and quickly flew towards Dugu Qiyun's chest.
"Be careful!" Qi Yingying, who had been watching all of Sun Pingying's movements, suddenly snorted, then stepped forward, and without hesitation, she blocked Dugu Qiyun's body, and the knife pierced her chest.
"Yingying!" Dugu Qiyun snorted and hurriedly hugged her, "Yingying, why are you so stupid?"
"Almost, almost I'll be your wife. Qi Yingying was lying in Dugu Qiyun's arms, blood overflowing from her mouth, "Die for you, die in your arms, I have no regrets." I just don't know if I'll be able to leave some traces in your heart. ”
"Don't say stupid things!" Dugu Qiyun grabbed Qi Yingying's hand and hurriedly said, "I don't want you to die, I want you to be my queen, my wife, give birth to children for me, and grow old with me." I will save you, I will do whatever it takes to save you. ”
"Don't be upset. Qi Yingying said, "I am already satisfied to be able to leave traces in your heart, don't forget, don't forget that I love you so much." ”
"I realized the moment I saw you hurt, I love you, but I have become accustomed to your existence, and I have unconsciously neglected my love for you, I love you, don't die, don't leave me!" Dugu Qiyun said with tears and pain.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?But it's not too late, I really don't have any regrets now!" Qi Yingying smiled miserably and gently, "You have to take good care of yourself, remember what you promised me, you have to be a good emperor......
Her smile faded, and her heavy eyelids finally closed. She was like a firework, leaving an indelible mark on his heart in a resolute and brilliant way.
