Chapter 41: Within Reach, the Enemy Country (Second Shift Asks for a Monthly Pass)
"Father and Emperor have died...... The fourth prince shook his right hand, looked up at the imperial city with lightning and thunder, muttered to himself, his inner mood was complicated, he didn't know whether he was angry or sad, relaxed or happy.
He originally thought that tonight's movement was that the demon queen forcibly broke into the palace and was intercepted by the right minister, but he didn't expect that the old emperor had died, and he was still instructed by the prince to drug the left minister.
The Sword Emperor breathed long and slowly, not angry or frightened, waiting for Meng Qi to continue to tell, if he believed it with a few words, he and the fourth prince would have been pitted into the ditch a long time ago.
The swordsmen around them breathed heavily, as if a volcanic eruption was brewing.
The fourth prince looked directly at Meng Qi and said solemnly: "Is this true?"
"The emperor accepted the young master of the Jiang tribe, and wanted to use the relics of the Demon Zun as bait to eliminate the three great masters, but the prince noticed and instructed the left minister to murder the emperor, and the left minister consciously became an abandoned son, willing to take the risk, and drugged the diet to speed up the absorption of the essence, so that the emperor died violently when absorbing the relics of the demon zun, and then, the left minister did not want to be killed by the prince, and informed the evil monarch of the matter, and the evil king arranged for the seven princes to leave Beijing, rebel in the southeast, and he was killed by me. ”
Meng Qi told the matter in a few words, the key is everywhere, and the rest of the things, the Four Princes and the Sword Emperor will definitely be able to make up the other clues they have obtained, and they can also judge the truth from the logical chain of things.
It is said that this matter is related to Meng Qi, if he does not rob Batu and the eldest grandson Jing, the young master of the Jiang clan will fall into the hands of a certain prince, so that the great grandmasters will be trapped, and the demon spar in the hands of the old emperor will be sent out and become a bait, and in the early morning of the second day, he will not have to absorb it, and he will not have to die violently, the direction of the matter will be completely different, all he needs to do is to find a way to sabotage the peace talks, and the difficulty is not the same.
"Courageous, hey......" the Sword Emperor sneered. He knew everything about the relics of the Demon Venerable, and if it weren't for the fact that the old emperor was dead, he would probably go to make up for a sword.
The fourth prince's face sank like water, but he did not show panic: "The seventh brother left Beijing, and the world was in chaos...... The eldest brother is a wolf-hearted dog, and he actually killed his father and killed the king!"
The swordsman on the side was waiting for this sentence, and the swords were unsheathed together, pointing to the sky, and the sound of Zheng Zheng was endless:
"The prince killed the king, the emperor was killed, and asked the prince to turn the tide. Help the building to fall, save the people from fire and water, and punish the chaos of treachery and evil!"
"Please also ask the prince to turn the tide of the tide, help the building to fall, save the people from fire and water, and punish the chaos of treachery and evil!"
shouted in unison, and the momentum was compelling, that is, the four princes made a statement and led them to compete for the throne.
The fourth prince pressed down with his right hand. He shouted:
"As a son of man and a minister, it is the duty of the lonely king to punish the treacherous!"
"I am willing to die for the prince!" shouted the swordsmen of the guards.
The old god Meng Qi is here. Wait until they calm down, and then take a step forward: "Now there are three things, and the prince has to do them immediately." ”
After receiving the answer of "Sovereign's Sword", he changed his name to the prince.
"What three things?" happened suddenly. The four princes were a little uncomfortable with their preparations, so they had to make the appearance of asking the mastermind.
Meng Qi said with a calm face: "The Seventh Prince has left Beijing, so he can ignore it for the time being." The three things that must be done immediately are: First, ask the prince to send someone to the post house to invite Lu Shuai, impress him with the matter of the prince's murder of the king, go to the military camp in the city with him, and force the general of the west to annex. ”
"This is the top priority!" the fourth prince agreed, "With Lu Shuai coming forward, King Gu is very relieved." ”
In the past, the Tieshan army was strong, and Lu Guan's subordinates were all good generals and elite soldiers, so after he was demoted, the emperor divided and disrupted the Tieshan army, and Sancheng soldiers and generals were arranged in the forbidden army of the Beijing Division, which belonged to the command of the general Zhengxi.
Under normal circumstances, the imperial authority is strict, even if these generals and soldiers revere Lu Guan, they dare not make a mistake, dare not disobey the imperial order, even if Lu Guan comes forward to win over, it will not have a good effect, so Lu Guan laughed at himself that he had no soldiers and no power, and it was useless for several princes to win him over.
But when the emperor died and the situation was chaotic, if Lu Guan was accompanied by the four princes, the symbol of imperial power, and there was the rhetoric that the crown prince killed the monarch and the seventh prince left Beijing, it was very likely that these generals and soldiers would follow Lu Guan and ignore the orders of the general Zhengxi, which is why several princes wanted to win over Lu Guan in case of emergency.
At that time, the Tieshan Army, which accounted for half of the forbidden army in Beijing, was agitated, and in the dark night, the rest of the soldiers could not distinguish the real from the false, so they could only be coerced, and Xu Jin, the general of Zhengxi, could not suppress it at all.
Moreover, Lu Guannai used the identity of the fourth prince to attract generals, and he would not let the four princes suspect afterwards.
Of course, General Zhengxi is a master at the pinnacle of the world, and Song Ming and others, who are "called Heavenly Sword", have to follow, otherwise he will fight the four princes and Lu Guan face-to-face, and the joke will be big.
Meng Qi raised his head slightly: "The second thing is to ask the four princes to send their subordinates to publicize the matter of the crown prince's killing of the king, and make sure that everyone in Beijing knows about it and the teacher is famous." ”
The most important thing is to make the right minister hesitate when he makes a choice, and he is helpless.
"Well, the Lone King does not raise a nameless soldier. The fourth prince understands the urgency of this matter, so don't be beaten by the prince, "Meng Qing, what about the third thing?"
He also changed his name.
Meng Qi pressed the hilt of the long sword with his left hand - he was currently playing the role of a swordsman who made a sword with his right hand and a sword with his left hand, and said coldly: "Take advantage of the chaos, kill King Xiao and punish the prince." ”
King Xiao is the title of the prince of the three princes.
As soon as these words came out, except for the Sword Emperor, everyone was in an uproar, but they didn't expect Xiao Meng, the Amazing Sword to be so bold, simple and rude!
"The old man can stop Lin Lao'er, can you kill the prince?" the Sword Emperor asked in a steady tone.
As for the third prince, the importance is obviously under the crown prince, even if he doesn't kill him, he has lost his momentum after a while.
Meng Qi said proudly: "If the seniors can stop the national teacher, the juniors will take the head of the crown prince." ”
"Good. "The Sword Emperor does things like a sword, and he doesn't ask more.
Meng Qi pointed at Luo Shengyi and said to the Sword Emperor: "This friend of the younger generation is a subordinate of King Xiao, but he has been repeatedly suspicious, and now he has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and is willing to take King Xiao's order for the prince." ”
"Okay, true righteous man!" After hearing the three things, the fourth prince made up his mind and bowed to Meng Qi, the Sword Emperor and Ruan Yushu, "The matter of the eldest brother, please, the matter is completed, and the Lone King Sword Room is open." ”
He began to give orders in an orderly manner, such as informing his henchmen and courtiers, cutting off key roads, and wooing neutrality......
And Meng Qi and the Sword Emperor left the Four Princes' Mansion and ran to the Prince's Mansion in the same Prince's Mansion.
Arriving near the Prince's Mansion, Luo Shengyi continued on his way. He wants to kill the three princes before the demon queen returns.
Due to the delay of the Four Princes' Mansion, the crown prince has received the news, the guards everywhere are guarding the key points, the middle door is wide open, and the people who have been ordered to report are in and out, as if a big war is coming.
Although the defensive layout of the Prince's Mansion is not as good as that of the Imperial City, it is also layered, and it is difficult to break through directly, but Meng Qi has already planned it.
He watched for a while, pulling away a distance. Silently knocked out one of the guards who reported the situation, stripped him of his coat and hat, and replaced it on himself.
"You don't know the password inside, how did you get in?" the Sword Emperor asked rarely, he was not like the Evil Monarch, he had a deep attainment in spiritual illusions.
Meng Qi smiled and said: "Please rest assured, seniors, immediately attack after half a cup of tea and lead away the national teacher." ”
Nguyen Ngoc Shu stayed nearby as a pick-up. Just like in the Imperial City, lest something happen and there are no reinforcements.
The Sword Emperor nodded, grasped his long sword, and brewed a battle with the National Teacher.
Meng Qi bent on his waist. Hiding in the shadows at the mouth of the alley, he waited for another guard to report the situation and passed by, and then sprang out and stayed behind him.
The guard seemed to be aware. Looking back, his gaze went beyond Meng Qi and looked behind him.
No one...... He felt so nervous that he was hallucinating. Quickened his pace and ran to the door.
"Password!" shouted the captain of the guard, who was guarding the door.
The guard hurriedly said, "Today's candle." ”
The captain listened to the correct command, bowed his head slightly, and signaled that he could go in.
Meng Qi buried his head and followed closely behind the guard, and also entered the gate.
The captain thought that they were standing in front and back, and did not ask much, nor did he stop - the guards who gave the order did not express their surprise at Meng Qi's following, and the others took it for granted that they were in a group, and at the same time went to find out the news, and now reported the situation, of course, there was no need for both of them to say the password.
Looking at this scene, the Sword Emperor was slightly moved and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Five different passwords in a row, five levels in a row, under the "cover" of the real guards in front, Meng Qishun approached the hall, the prince was giving orders inside, the national teacher and the left minister were seated, the Ruyi monk was protected, and there were more than ten or twenty first-class or quasi-first-class masters around.
They can all see through the Transfiguration Dafa, but Meng Qi is at peace with the real guards, which will only make people think that he is also a real guard-how can the big people in it recognize the whole guard?
The crown prince was very strict about assassination, and it was difficult for ordinary guards such as Meng Qi to enter the hall, so they could only inform the inner servants of the news they had received on the steps, and they would relay it.
"The fourth prince went to the military camp in the city. Meng Qi said in a hoarse voice to the attendant in front of him.
When the guard heard the voice, he looked at him in surprise, when was there an extra companion on the steps? Could it be that he had been waiting here before, or had he just arrived?
It's really good to have light work, and there is no sound at all when you walk!
This kind of thing, how could he think too much, thinking that he didn't pay attention, and after smiling self-deprecatingly, he reported the news to the inner servant.
The chamberlain went back and forth in an orderly manner, reported the news to the prince, instructed the prince's orders to the guards, and assigned Meng Qi the task of finding out the news of the four princes.
Meng Qi slowly walked down the steps, ready to reach the shadow in front of him, so he took advantage of the unpreparedness of others and dodged in.
At this moment, the screams were endless, even though they were far away, Meng Qi could also feel a sharp momentum, secretly reasoning, and the sword qi was soaring.
This is no longer the realm of kendo that mortal moves can describe......
At the same time as Meng Qi sighed secretly, the national teacher stood up and greeted him, he couldn't let the Sword Emperor get close, otherwise if he was injured, it would be easy to kill the prince.
"Lin Lao'er takes the sword!" After a breath, the two met in the outer courtyard, and the voice of the Sword Emperor spread through everyone's ears.
The voice of the national teacher is also old, but it is full of decay: "The prince has become a great trend and is useless." ”
The sound of energy suddenly disappeared, and the originally dim sky, the stars lit up, bright and bright, illuminating the princely fang cold and dreamy.
"At the beginning, I was entangled with qi and machine, and I shot with all my might...... Meng Qi understood that this was the sympathy of heaven and man of the national teacher.
The sound of the sword roar broke through the air, and a rainbow crossed, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, bright and blurred.
Meng Qi took a light breath, turned around sharply, drew his sword, and with the force under his feet, the wind rushed into the hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he shouted:
"Boom!"
The thunder shook the sky, and the dozen or twenty quasi-first-class and first-class masters who had just reacted couldn't help but be dizzy, only the Ruyi monk was fine, and the Buddha bead was in his right hand, as if it had doubled in size, red as blood, and slapped Meng Qi's chest.
Suddenly, his eyes froze, and the master in front of him didn't stop him, his footsteps slipped, and he hit his palm with his right chest, as if committing suicide.
Bang!
The dark gold exploded, and it was immediately dim, almost bursting, but it shook the Ruyi monk back a few steps.
The near-perfect sixth level of the Golden Bell Jar is already extraordinary on the anti-shock and anti-injury!
With the power of the Ruyi monk's big mudra, Meng Qi's body method accelerated again, and pounced on the prince behind the Ruyi monk, the long sword was raised, and Yan Luo sent a sticker, and the surrounding masters restrained their dizziness at this time and besieged him.
The sword light is bright, the dead air is pure, and it makes people feel chilled.
The prince is also a good hand, but in the face of this killing move, the momentum is suppressed, the heart is shaken, and the move becomes slow.
The sword light dissipated, the prince took a few steps back, his eyebrows were a little red, and he sat directly on the chair, tilting his head, and no longer speaking.
Bang Bang Bang!
The surrounding masters arrived, and the swords and palms hit Meng Qi who had no time to change his moves.
But Meng Qi has already protected the vital point.
The dark gold was bright again, every inch was damaged, the sound of fried beans exploded, Meng Qi's wig fell, and his body spread, shaking all the masters back.
At the same time, he spurted blood from his mouth and directly shot the left phase into pockmarks.
He broke through the golden bell jar, but the injury was not too serious, and with a little someone's knife on his toes, he directly broke through the roof, and broke through the encirclement before Ruyi monk and others surrounded him.
Deceased: Prince Da'an.
Cause of death: Under heavy protection, he was desperate for a line, and a sword stabbed him in the center of his eyebrows.
Murderer: "Shocking Sword" Xiao Meng, also known as "Blood King Kong".
Evaluation: Within a stone's reach, the enemy country is exhausted (to be continued......)
