Chapter 924: Princess Changping
But as soon as she turned around, the killer who said that the mastermind behind the scenes was 'Celestial Princess' was lying straight on the ground, and was killed by another person beside him.
These killers are not from the same force, or rather, these killers are not of the same mind!
They took on the task of assassinating the prince together, but there was also an element of mutual supervision. As long as you really dare to betray the mastermind behind the scenes, the butcher's knife of your companion will fall on you!
After betraying the mastermind behind the scenes and killing him, the person next to him also committed suicide by swallowing poison, and he didn't give Zhu'er the possibility of asking at all.
And Zhu'er just looked at Shangguan Xiaoyao with an inquiring gaze, just wanting to get the results from his side, but he didn't expect things to change like this.
The remaining three people distanced themselves one after another, and at this time, no one trusted anyone, and no one knew if the other party would raise the butcher knife at them in the next moment.
They were wary of each other, and even if they wanted to survive, they didn't dare to directly betray the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Childe, do you want to ask for details?"
Zhu'er's eyes are on Shangguan Xiaoyao's body, Shangguan Xiaoyao's order is the criterion for her actions, as long as Shangguan Xiaoyao says a word, she will be firm and undoubtedly to carry it out.
But the matter involved the eldest princess, and she couldn't make up her mind. She knew that Shangguan was free and affectionate, especially family affection.
Don't look at him usually looking at everything calmly, but when something really involves his relatives, he is definitely not as calm as he seems in his heart, and I'm afraid he won't make a move against the mastermind behind the scenes, 'Celestia'.
"No need, kill them all!"
Shangguan Yaoyao's answer was not unexpected by Zhu'er.
After getting Shangguan Xiaoyao's order, Zhu'er's eyes moved to the killers who did not escape, and seeing that there were only three people left at this time, she pretended to be surprised, and said, "Yo, what are you doing here? Why did I turn around and two more died? Alas, you guys, you really don't take your life seriously." Is it so easy for your parents to raise you? Even if you don't have your parents, is it so easy to live? My aunt and grandmother have given you a way to live, and you are still staging cannibalistic dramas here, since you people like cannibalistic dramas, then please continue, don't stop!"
The joking voice came into the ears of the remaining three, making all three of them want to scold their mother.
If it weren't for your persecution, we would be like this? If it weren't for your strength, we couldn't stop it, and we would kill each other?
"That's it, it seems that I am destined to be unable to escape from here today, so I will fight for this life and cause you some trouble!"
At the last moment, someone looked away.
Since it is already difficult to escape, why not fight? Although the Nine Demon Bow can exert greater power in the hands of this maid, but if you fight hard, even if you splash the other party's blood, you can't make the other party feel better!
This person's voice fell, and his body was as fast as lightning, and he immediately rushed towards Zhu'er.
But the arrows on the bow of the Nine Demons also broke away from the bowstring at this moment and flew towards the man in black, the speed was like a streamer, but it came to the front of the man in black in the blink of an eye, so that the side of the man in black who had just jumped up was shot by the arrow of the Nine Demons and died on the spot.
The remaining two also fought back, but Zhu'er didn't even bother to pull the Nine Demon Bow, grabbed two arrows and threw them at the two.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air was heard, with two terrible screams, ending their lives. At this point, the nine people who came to assassinate Shangguan Xiaoyao died on the spot!
After killing these people, Zhu'er turned around and said to Shangguan Xiaoyao with a smile: "These Nine Demon Bows and Nine Demon Arrows are well-known treasures in the rivers and lakes. The arrow that was shot could not be uncollected. Childe, wait a minute, Zhu'er will go over and retrieve the arrow. ”
After Zhu'er left, Shangguan looked at these corpses and said to himself: "The power in the world can make you ignore family affection? No matter how tempting the power is, you will only live for a hundred years after all. Isn't it good to be your own Xiaoyao King and Princess Xiaoyao for a rich life!"
With a light sigh, he glanced in the direction where the capital was located, and said indifferently: "My patience is limited!"
Not long after, Zhu'er collected the arrows and returned to Shangguan Xiaoyao's side, seeing Shangguan Xiaoyao's calm expression, he opened his mouth and stopped talking.
Seeing Zhu'er like this, Shangguan Yao smiled and said, "Say it, say whatever you want, it's not your Zhu'er's style to hide and pinch." ”
"Childe, why don't you inherit this throne directly?"
She knew that Emperor Qing had always wanted to pass the throne to Shangguan Xiaoyao, and even expressed the idea of passing the throne to Shangguan Xiaoyao several times earlier, but Shangguan Xiaoyao had always refused.
And this time she also heard about what happened in the court, Emperor Qing left Shangguan in the capital in order to let him learn how to deal with national affairs, but he found the excuse of the 'Heavenly Cicada Sect' and just resigned.
But if you want to avoid the slaughter in this palace, you can only stop these things by sitting on the throne. Otherwise, this fratricidal thing will continue to happen!
"What is the use of mortal power, passing by clouds?"
Shangguan Yao's answer was very simple, but with a feeling of fluttering immortals. It was as if he had seen through the red dust, like a person outside the party.
Hearing this, Zhu'er thought for a while and said, "But as long as you sit on the throne, you can avoid many things." Just now these people said that the eldest princess is the mastermind, although they can't be trusted, but they can't be believed. As long as you sit on the throne, those who covet the throne will dispel the thoughts in their hearts, and fratricidal things can be avoided!"
Talking about royal affairs in front of Shangguan Xiaoyao, Zhu'er didn't have any psychological burden, she knew that Shangguan Xiaoyao would not blame.
And she now has a feeling of trepidation in her heart, she has been by Shangguan Xiaoyao's side for a long time, and now Shangguan Xiaoyao feels as if she is getting more and more distant, more and more ethereal, as if she is about to break this world and leave at any time.
For example, the answer just now, the words 'mortal power' and 'passing clouds', mortal dust?
What people in this world are looking for is power, and if they give up these things, can they still be considered a complete person?
"There is no end to greed. It's not that I sit on the throne to stop fratricide. ”
Shangguan Xiaoyao's answer this time was more serious, which reminded him of his previous life. In the previous life, as the monarch of the Han Dynasty, didn't Shangguan Feiying also sneak attack him and usurp his throne?
Zhu'er tilted her head slightly, as if she didn't understand Shangguan Xiaoyao's words, and didn't know how to answer.
Looking at Zhu'er's cute appearance, Shangguan Xiaoyao smiled again and said, "Let's go, go to Xuzhou!"
......
The two rode away, and except for the Nine Demon Bows, nothing was taken from the hands of the others.
Not long after, a team of people appeared on the official road. There were a total of 20 people coming, led by a luxurious carriage, carved dragons and painted buildings, extremely luxurious.
Behind the carriage was a group of women in military uniforms riding horses. When they walk on this official road, just by virtue of this line of clothing, it is enough to deter Xiaoxiao.
When they came to the battlefield before Shangguan Xiaoyao and them, the luxurious carriage stopped and a beautiful woman in luxurious clothes stepped out of the carriage, and before the attendants could report the situation, she saw the corpses on the ground.
"Even the official roads outside the capital are rampant with bandits, these nine people are dressed as bandits, but they are all dressed as bandits, but the nine corpses are here, you go and see, do you know anyone?"
The words of the beautiful woman in the palace costume fell, and immediately an attendant went to investigate the corpses. When the attendants tore off the tissues of the corpses, all of them had a look of horror on their faces.
It's not that they are frightened by the tragic situation of these corpses, but the owners of these corpses, all of whom are well-known figures in the rivers and lakes!
One of the attendants returned to the side of the beautiful woman in the palace in a panic, and said in his ear: "Princess Changping, it's Jiang Hao and his party!"
A look of surprise flashed from Princess Changping's face, the name Jiang Hao was the most familiar to her. Not long ago, she also had contact with Jiang Hao!
Jiang Hao's body is here, and the rest of the people ......
At this moment, Princess Changping only felt that she was wrapped in a cold breath. Even in this late autumn weather, she couldn't help but feel a chill!
Without a response from the palace maid, the maid whispered, "Princess, they missed." ”
"Go back to the palace!"
The cold order was given, and Princess Changping turned around and walked into the chariot.
No one saw the cold sweat on Princess Changping's forehead, but on this late autumn day, it was like being in the scorching summer.
Princess Changping, the eldest daughter of Emperor Qing, is called 'Changping'. Before the crown prince was born, Princess Changping had a faint tendency to be cultivated as a successor.
It's just that after the crown prince was born, Princess Changping became more and more unfavored, and she was even more alienated from the core of power.
She didn't know if the prince knew about the fact that she had sent Jiang Hao and his party to assassinate the prince, and what she was even more frightened about now was who killed these nine people.
Jiang Hao and his entourage are all famous masters in the rivers and lakes, they are all first-class masters, and the nine of them came together, but they couldn't leave the prince here, when did the prince, who has never practiced martial arts, have such a strong protective force?
He left this time, but he only took one attendant with him. Although the maid is also a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, she has not reached the point where she can ignore nine first-class masters, right?
"Could it be that the Shadow Guard made a move?"
In the carriage, Princess Changping was not only frightened in her heart, but also guessing.
The Shadow Guard, the force guarding the Emperor in the Imperial Palace, everyone has at least second-rate peak strength!
