One Three Seven Hongmen Banquet
"It's nothing, I heard that there was an emperor in the past, in order to raise military salaries during the war, he specially organized an army of tomb robbers, and this army was later called the captain of the gold school. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info "Chen Shu used to be a fan of tomb robbery novels, and he couldn't help but say a few more words with Shui Rujing.
"And such an emperor? I haven't heard of it. β
Chen Shu changed the topic and said: "By the way, speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen Long Quanjun, and the tattoos on his face are quite strange, as if they are ...... Why did a man of a savage tribe become a general of a country?"
"It's a long story, Longquan Jun was just an ordinary young man in the barbarian tribe when he was young, once when the King of Kunlun went hunting in the north, he saved the life of the King of Kunlun from the mouth of a divine beast, and since then he has been reused by the King of Kunlun. β
"When I decided to force Prince Chen Mo away and let my grandson ascend the throne, the first ally I wanted to make was Longquan Jun, but he was only loyal to King Kunlun, which was a pity. If I hadn't launched the palace rebellion first, controlled the King of Kunlun, and threatened him with the King of Kunlun, I am afraid that I would have become a ghost under his sword at this moment. β
Chen Shu suddenly asked, "How long has it been since Long Quanjun had seen King Kunlun?"
Shui Rujing narrowed her eyes, "What are you asking for?"
"I just think that his raising of military salaries this time is a bit abnormal, could it be that he thinks that the King of Kunlun is dead, and wants to send troops to the capital to attack you. β
Shui Rujing said calmly: "Three days later, the king will have a banquet for the ministers, and when he sees the king of Kunlun, he will naturally not have any doubts." β
"That's for the best. β
"By the way, I wonder if Xiaoyou is interested in going to the banquet with the old man?"
"I can't wait to see what I know. β
Chen Shu was actually not happy to show his face, after all, Sikong Haoyue was still wanted by the world, but he vaguely felt that he should go and meet this Kunlun King, hoping that this puppet emperor could play a role in his next plan.
In the end, Chen Shu thought of a compromise method, and he pretended to be a subordinate next to Shui Rujing.
In the magnificent palace, the water sat like a mirror, he stood, the water ate like a mirror, he watchedβlooking around.
His gaze first fell on the place where the King of Kunlun was sitting.
But that position was blocked by layers of gauze tents, and the true face of King Kunlun could not be seen at all, and only two figures could be vaguely seen, a man and a woman.
As soon as Chen Qinglian saw the female figure, she lifted the heavy gauze tent and rushed forward happily.
"Mother, the child misses you!" Chen Qinglian shouted.
The female figure also hugged Chen Qinglian, and seemed to whisper something to him, but unfortunately, there seemed to be a magic weapon around the throne to shield his divine sense, and Chen Shu's divine sense could not sense what was happening in the gauze tent.
Looking at the male figure again, it was almost immovable, as if he was willing to even turn his head to look at Chen Qinglian.
Chen Shu muttered in his heart: "Even if it is a concubine, how can you say that it is your son, so you won't be so reluctant to look at it, right? Could it be that this water spirit brought a green hat to the King of Kunlun? Chen Qinglian is not his son?"
As he pondered, Chen Shu found that a gaze always fell on him, and he looked up and was happy.
Longquan-kun!
It's really a narrow road.
To Chen Shu's surprise, Long Quanjun's eyes when he looked at Chen Shu were not only regretful for losing the phoenix's gall, but also a trace of exploration and curiosity.
Chen Shu smiled politely at him, and Long Quanjun finally withdrew his gaze.
Half an hour after the banquet began, Chen Shu had already seen the delicate relationship between everyone.
Although these people are not in charge of military power, they control the economy, manage the people everywhere, control the capital, and even more water like a mirror controls the king of Kunlun.
A few generals, like Long Quanjun, sat lonely in the banquet and drank sullen wine.
When the wine was in full swing, Long Quanjun suddenly got up, took a glass of wine and said to the King of Kunlun in the gauze tent: "King, I salute you, thank you for your reuse of me over the years, and thank you for listening to slander and suspicion of me all these years." β
Long Quan's expression was humble and gentle, and even the tattoos on his face didn't look so hideous.
The feast suddenly fell silent, and the people seemed to remember that there was a king sitting behind the veil, who was nominally the highest person here, and not as a mirror.
The figure in the gauze tent finally moved, apparently raising his wine glass.
Long Quanjun stared deeply at the figure who raised the glass, and drank the wine in the cup with a tilt of his neck.
The figure in the tent also drank, but finally didn't say a word.
The favorite concubine Shui Ling took the wine glass in the hand of King Kunlun in time, and wiped the corners of his mouth for him in a charming manner.
Longquan Jun was a little disappointed, and his king refused to say a word to him.
Chen Shu seemed to see some clues, and quietly withdrew from the main hall under the pretext of going to the convenience.
Before leaving the main hall, Chen Shu quietly glanced at Long Quanjun, Long Quanjun was stunned, although he didn't understand Chen Shu's intentions, but after a while, he walked out of the hall with a lost face, and anyone who saw it would feel that he was depressed and left, instead of going to see Chen Shu secretly.
Sure enough, not long after Long Quanjun walked out of the main hall, he saw Chen Shumao squeezing his eyebrows at him in a secluded place, and Long Quanjun had no choice but to walk over.
"What's the matter?" asked Long Quanjun.
"There's something that might lose your head, I wonder if you dare to do it with me?" Chen Shu replied.
"Why should I be fooling around with you? You still owe me a phoenix gall. β
"Let's not talk about the phoenix gall for the time being, don't you want to find out whether the King of Kunlun is dead or alive?"
"You...... What do you say?"
"You have also seen the situation at today's banquet, not only does the King of Kunlun not see the world with his true face, but he also didn't say a word, who knows that the King of Kunlun himself is sitting in the main hall, or is it a passerby?"
Shui Rujing promised that he would not kill the King of Kunlun, he just wanted to wait for the death of the King of Kunlun and let his grandson, Chen Qinglian, ascend to the throne. β
"What if he can't wait?"
Long Quanjun was silent.
There was also a trace of doubt in his heart, but he was absolutely loyal to the King of Kunlun for most of his life, and if the King of Kunlun died and there was no object of loyalty, he suddenly felt at a loss.
Chen Shu continued: "The words of a person like Shui Rujing are the most untrustworthy, you don't really think that he will fulfill his promise, right?"
Long Quanjun was like a wooden pestle in place, and he suddenly asked Chen Shu, "What should I do?" He looked like a child who knew he had made a big mistake.
Chen Shu was also stunned, he didn't expect this barbarian's mind to be so simple.
"Obviously, you haven't thought about your next plan yet," Chen Shu said, "However, no matter what you plan next, you should at least find out whether King Kunlun is dead or alive first." β
Long Quanjun's mood finally eased a little, "What can you do?"
"I'm afraid that you and I are not familiar with this palace, and it is unlikely that we can find evidence from the details, but there is one person who is our breakthrough. β
"Who?"
"Water spirit. King Kunlun's favorite concubine, Shui Rujing's daughter, if Shui Rujing really kills King Kunlun, to do this scene, she must have Shui Ling's cooperation, she must know all the details, as long as she can pry her mouth open, the truth will be revealed. β
"Okay, just do as you say. β
When Chen Shu returned to the banquet, everyone had already eaten and drunk, and the sycophants that should have been filmed were almost done, and the relationship that should be contacted was also hot, and the atmosphere in the hall was harmonious, which actually gave Chen Shu a sense of singing and dancing.
Chen Shu couldn't help but sigh, such an illusion was really easy Wu Guo, and even he wanted to blend in with it.
Looking at the two people in the gauze tent again, the favorite concubine Shui Ling has always kept a short distance from King Kunlun, and she has no feeling of being favored at all.
Shui Rujing finally pulled out of the crowd of toasts, and Chen Shu hurriedly leaned into his ear and said, "Be careful of Longquanjun!"
"How?"
"I saw that Longquanjun had not left the palace, and it seemed that he had doubts about the life and death of King Kunlun, and was looking for clues in the palace. β
"Oh?" Shui Rujing was stunned, but he didn't panic, but asked Chen Shudao, "What do you think?"
"I, of course, I think this is a good time to bring down Long Quanjun, as long as he is caught, and the crime of breaking into the palace and intending to assassinate the Kunlun King is enough to weaken his military power. β
"What I'm asking is, what do you think about the life or death of King Kunlun?"
Chen Shu looked directly into Shui Rujing's eyes, "I don't think much of it, I don't care about the life or death of a puppet emperor." β
He replied evasively, but he vaguely expressed his attitude: My Chen Shu's allegiance is to you Shui Rujing, if you don't dare to kill the King of Kunlun, I will feel strange.
This answer seemed to finally satisfy Shui Rujing, and he instructed one of the guards who came with him: "Gather all the guards in the palace and search Longquanjun, focusing on the king's bedchamber." β
"Yes. β
The guards were about to retreat to convey the order, Shui Rujing got up and said, "I'll go too, this kind of good thing always has to be grasped with your own hands to be happy." β
Chen Shu couldn't wait for him to go, but his face was not shocked, and he walked out of the hall behind Shui Rujing without hurrying.
As soon as the water was like a mirror, the banquet suddenly became boring, and the ministers retreated to the king of Kunlun in the gauze tent, and soon the hall was empty, as if the lively scene just now was just a dream.
At this moment, it is finally time to wake up from the dream.
Shui Ling glanced at the person sitting beside her in disgust, it was the King of Kunlun, but his face was expressionless, his eyes were empty, and there was no trace of life, like an ugly ornament.
He's dead, and he's been dead for days.
In the deep palace, it is not difficult to block the news.
At first, Shui Ling was a little scared.
As a mage, of course she had seen dead people, and she could be in the company of a dead man who had been killed by her father's own hands.
She was afraid, afraid that the dead would suddenly open their eyes and ask her for their lives, not only the King of Kunlun, but also the Queen of Kunlun who was buried in a hurry, and the prince Chen Mo who fled in a hurry.
She is a cowardly woman, she has been soft since she was a child, everything is arranged by her father, entering the palace, being favored, and giving birth to children, none of which is her own decision. Shui Ling sometimes wonders, if one day she dies, has she ever lived for herself?
Unexpectedly, after spending a long time with dead people, I got used to it.
The only feeling left is disgust.
Disgusted with that unchanged old face, that face reminded her of her cowardice all the time.
Of course, there are some advantages to lying in her heart for a long time, that is, she is fully mentally prepared.
She knew that lies would be debunked sooner or later, and had already imagined countless scenarios in which lies would be exposed.
Therefore, when Long Quanjun infiltrated the laxly guarded hall and stopped the Shui Ling who was about to leave, she did not show much panic.
Even though Longquanjun had an eighth-order cultivation, and she was only a fourth-order, she didn't show any panic at all.
This made Long Quanjun murmur in his heart: "This woman doesn't seem to be as weak as rumored. β
He didn't rush to ask the water spirit, but lifted the veil and glanced at the throne.
At a glance, Long Quanjun's head rang loudly.
For many days, he did not dare to imagine this moment, as if his loyalty for many years had suddenly collapsed, and his spirit had suddenly lost his sustenance.
"Wang ...... Dead?"
"Dead. β
"When?"
"For a while, three hundred and seventy-six days. β
"Three hundred...... Seventy...... Six days ......"
The king had been dead for more than a year.
Come to think of it, a year ago, the soldiers of the six countries came to the city and wanted to carve up the Kunlun Kingdom.
At that time, Long Quanjun led the mage army of Kunlun to fight bloodily, he himself was even seriously injured, and almost lost his life, if it wasn't for the accident in the school city, the Black Zelie Empire withdrew its troops first, and the rest of the countries also gave up attacking Kunlun one after another, he really didn't know if he could survive this time.
"It's the King of Kunlun who blesses. After the withdrawal of the Six Kingdoms, Long Quanjun often thought like this.
But he never thought that the King of Kunlun would be dead at that time.
Long Quanjun's heart was flustered like a monkey jumping up and down, he didn't know what to do next, he could only look at Shui Ling blankly.
It wasn't until a guard found him and went to report to Shui Rujing in a panic that Long Quanjun subconsciously fled.
He didn't know how he had left the palace, or if any guards were following him, until a hand pulled him into an alley.
It's Chen Shu.
"Is it confirmed?" asked Chen Shu.
Long Quanjun replied with a confused look.
"King Kunlun is dead?" Chen Shu had to ask again.
Long Quanjun nodded.
Chen Shu patted Long Quanjun on the shoulder, "Mourn." β
The two were silent for a long time, and Chen Shu looked over from time to time to see if anyone was chasing after them outside the alley.
"I'm quitting. Long Quanjun said suddenly, more like saying it to himself.
"What?"
"General, I don't deserve it, I give water like a mirror, didn't he want to monopolize power for a long time? β
Chen Shu hated that iron could not be made of steel and hammered a punch on Long Quanjun's shoulder, "What are you talking about?!"
"The King of Kunlun is my Bole, when he was alive, I was loyal to him, and now that he is dead, the whereabouts of the prince are unknown, the Kunlun Kingdom is about to change its surname to Shui, and I will not serve Shui Rujing. β
