In fact, the king's death was discovered much later than Ding Peng and the two expected. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Touman usually takes a nap for half an hour, plus wakes up to read a book and relax, and will not stay in the dormitory for more than an hour, unless there is an emergency, no one usually comes to disturb him.

Today's situation is a bit special, Touman has been in the dormitory for more than an hour, the door of the middle hall is still tightly closed, and the guards in the outer hall can't help but whisper, feeling that the situation is a little abnormal.

However, they did not dare to come forward and knock on the door, because their duty was to guard the temple gate, especially to defend against foreign enemies, and it had nothing to do with them as to how long the king was willing to stay inside.

It was not until two hours later that the guards gradually became uneasy, and the king did not come out for a long time, and there was no sound inside, and an atmosphere of uneasiness began to spread, and the captain of the guard on duty frowned for a long time, and finally decided to take action.

It's just that he still didn't dare to knock on the door to ask, but first reported to his immediate boss - the officer in charge of the king's close defense, this officer is the king's cronies, although the official position is not big, but there are some things that can be decided by himself, after listening to the report of his subordinates, without saying a word, let the guards come forward and knock on the door.

At first, there was a small knock, but there was no response, and then there was a little more effort to knock on the door, but there was still no movement, at this time everyone knew that something was wrong, and the guards who knocked on the door turned into heavy slapping, slapping on the door, but still did not open the door.

The officer's face turned pale, and he almost bit out a few voices with his teeth: "Bang on the door!"

There are no suitable tools for hitting the door, this palace gate is different from the ordinary door, the safety problem was taken into account at the beginning of the construction, not only tall, but also thickened and thickened, and the outside is also wrapped with a layer of iron sheet, very strong, the guards hurriedly looked for tools everywhere, delayed for a while, and finally let more than ten palace slaves carry a thick wood, under the command of the guards, began to hit the gate.

The door of the temple was quickly slammed open, and there was no bloody scene of cannibalism in it, but it was even more strange than this, and I saw that the ten attendants were lying on the ground in various postures, and they looked like they were sleeping from a distance, and when they got closer, they found that their faces showed a strange blue, and they had long lost their breath.

What's even more strange is that the flowers that were blooming well before are now decaying, and the branches and leaves of the flowers have withered, no matter what color they were, they all present a strange light blue at this moment.

The officer was well-informed and very experienced in combat, and hurriedly said: "Be careful, there is poison here!"

The guards hurriedly tore off their robes and covered their mouths and noses, and the officers, fearing for the king's safety, covered their noses with their palms and strode into the inner sanctum, regardless of the danger.

"Ahh

Inside was a tragic scene, their king was bleeding and his face was blue, and he had died on a large bed of velvet.

After half a pillar of incense, the eldest prince who received the urgent report had already rushed to the king's bedchamber.

The eldest prince is in his forties, with a resolute face, thick eyebrows, and the left and right eyebrows are almost connected.

The eldest prince glanced at his father, who died tragically, and did not grieve, but immediately issued an order: "Immediately block the palace, no one is allowed to enter or leave, this news must not be revealed now!"

The eldest prince inherited the resolute and decisive temperament of Touman's youth, and he knew that since the other party dared to kill the king, there must be a backhand, and this backhand should be launched after confirming the king's death.

At this time, some more people came to the palace who got the news, including officers, princes, and concubines, those women were crying and crying, and some people expressed different opinions: "The eldest prince, my subordinates do not agree to completely seal off the palace, and now we should summon those important officials to enter the palace immediately." ”

The dissenting opinions were expressed by the officers, as well as by the prince, and their leader was the second prince.

The eldest prince said coldly: "My father was assassinated, I don't have the heart to play any power struggle, the most important thing now is to save our lives, if my guess is correct, the enemy will definitely attack the palace immediately." ”

The second prince didn't believe it, and said angrily: "When my father died, the eldest brother was the first person to arrive, and we don't know what the specific situation is, and now you have to block the palace and let others listen to you, who knows what you're going to do!"

The officer who had ordered to bang on the door was also beside him at the moment, and when he heard that something was wrong, he hurriedly distinguished: "Second prince, my subordinates don't know anything, but I saw that the king had not come out for a long time, so I had to order a forced entry. ”

The second prince snorted: "Who knows if this matter is a joint effort by you, I think that the minister should be summoned to the palace to discuss at this time." ”

Several of the adult princes present had their own disputes, and the officers did not want to participate in the princes' infighting, so they had to stand by awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that the dispute was fruitless, the eldest prince sighed and scolded: "You short-sighted guys, Loulan Kingdom is going to be destroyed in your hands!"

At this moment, a guard suddenly came to report: a large number of troops were gathered outside the palace, and it seemed that it was the city guards.

Everyone present was taken aback, and the second prince stammered: "This, this, who mobilized them...... Let them go back, hurry up and let them go back ......"

The eldest prince's face was pale, and he turned around and left with a few officers, and the second prince and others hurriedly followed.

When I arrived at the palace gate, I saw a group of soldiers facing each other, this side was the army defending the palace, and the opposite side was the city guard, and some middle and low-level officers of the city guard army were taking the lead in shouting something in front.

The officer defending the palace gate was sweating profusely, and when he saw that the eldest prince and others had finally arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "Princes, the city guards on the opposite side said that someone had killed the king and wanted to go in to arrest the murderer. ”

The eldest prince had a strong personality, strode forward, stopped when he was a hundred steps away from the opposite side, and said loudly: "Loyal Loulan warriors, don't listen to rumors, I am the eldest prince, and now I order you to return to the camp immediately, and return to the camp immediately, otherwise you will be punished for disobeying the military order!"

The noisy city guards were quiet for a while, and suddenly someone shouted: "It's him, it's the eldest prince who assassinated the king, he's the murderer!"

The soldiers were in an uproar again, the eldest prince's sharp gaze quickly locked on the shouting person from the crowd, his gaze was fixed, although the person opposite was wearing a hat and trying to cover his face, but he still showed that he was a Han from a little facial feature that was exposed, the eldest prince suddenly sounded the star demon that his father had been talking about some time ago, his heart was cold, and he was about to speak, when suddenly a sharp light flashed in front of him, and the eldest prince screamed, holding his throat and falling to the ground.

A feathered arrow pierced his throat, killing the eldest prince on the spot.

The officer guarding the palace gate shouted bitterly: "Quickly release the arrows, release the arrows, and protect the eldest prince." ”

Feathers and arrows flew, the two armies suddenly fought, the terrible screams were endless, witnessing the death of the eldest prince, the second prince was already stunned, his expression was frightened, his face was pale, and he muttered: "What's going on, what's going on......"

After the two sides shot three rounds of bows and arrows, each with casualties, the soldiers on both sides drew their weapons, and they were about to stage a cannibalistic hand-to-hand battle.

"Third Prince, it's His Royal Highness the Third Prince!" The city guards on the opposite side suddenly let out a burst of cheers, which made the palace army on the opposite side stunned, and the two sides began to stop together, because most of the soldiers were just coerced and didn't want to fight this kind of inexplicable battle at all.

The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, more than a dozen horsemen quickly approached, and the leader was the heroic third prince, who was followed by Prime Minister Yu Shi and several heavyweight officials, and the second prince shouted: "Loulan warriors, stop them all!"

In fact, there is no need for this roar, everyone has gradually stopped fighting, but the third prince found a very good time, giving people the feeling that as soon as he gave an order, the soldiers who were still willing to fight to the death just now were obedient and stopped.

The second prince looked at everything in front of him dumbfounded, how could he not figure out how the usually ordinary third prince suddenly had such a huge influence and authority?

The third prince jumped off the horse, with a compassionate expression on his face, and said excitedly: "My Loulan is unfortunate, and I was killed by heroic soldiers, this is not your fault, this is a traitor, but everyone rest assured, this prince must find out about this matter, and give justice to the innocent soldiers who died in battle." Now, the soldiers reinvigorated the queue and waited with peace of mind, and each battalion sent officers to follow this prince into the palace to meet the king, and the truth will be known immediately. ”

This is the most just approach, many people who have been kept in the dark also want to know what is going on today, the last thing everyone wants to face is cannibalism, so the officers of the two sides obediently follow the orders of the third prince, gather their own soldiers, and then send representatives to prepare to enter the palace with the third prince.

Yu Shi sat on the tall horse and reminded the third prince loudly: "Your Royal Highness, the situation in the palace is unclear now, and there are many gangsters, so the old minister thinks it is better to be cautious." ”

It means that I don't want the third prince to rush to the palace.

The third prince just yelled loudly, and he prevented a large-scale bloodshed, and the soldiers on both sides were very supportive, and now they feel very good, and after listening to Yu Shi's advice, they didn't take it seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Although the prime minister has good intentions, this prince believes that these loyal Loulan warriors, no matter what conspiracy methods those villains have, these warriors can protect the safety of this prince." ”

The third prince's frank words won a burst of applause from the surrounding officers, and the third prince was inexplicably excited, and strode towards the palace gate with excitement, and when he passed by the second prince, he didn't even look at him.

In the heart of the third prince, he may have seen that the throne inlaid with gems, gold and silver is close at hand, where can he pay attention to the second prince who usually does not deal with him.

The second prince's face turned pale, watching the third prince walk past him proudly, he quickly realized one thing: today's events are too strange, first the father was killed, and then the eldest prince was shot to death by soldiers, if all this is the third prince's ghost, then I am afraid that it will be his turn to encounter the next accident, because it is obvious that those who are qualified to compete for the throne are left with himself and the third child.

Don't let him in!

The second prince watched with a pale face as the third prince walked towards the palace gate step by step, followed by countless officers, those people shouted and embraced, such a momentum, he could almost see the tragic situation that he was about to be executed, and the second prince was extremely frightened in his heart.

At this moment, suddenly a person approached the second prince and whispered in a demagogic tone: "Order to shoot him with arrows, and if you shoot him, Your Highness will win!"

The second prince almost subconsciously opened his mouth with that voice: "Shoot...... Arrow ......"

A long arrow passed through the gap in the crowd and accurately hit the third prince in the heart, and no one saw how the arrow came from or who shot it, but only heard the second prince's shout.

The third prince screamed, trembling and turned around, he pointed at the second prince with his finger, wanting to say something, but opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and slowly collapsed to the ground.

"I ...... It's not me, don't look at me, it's really not me......" The second prince was frightened to see everyone looking at him, and those sharp knives with eyes like snow forced him to breathe.

Yu Shi jumped off the horse, picked up the body of the third prince and cried loudly, his sad expression made many soldiers around him cry, and Yu Shi said sadly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the old minister just reminded you, why don't you listen to the old minister......"

"Catch the murderer, catch the second prince, catch the murderer!"

The surrounding soldiers shouted, first a handful, then more and more, the voices became higher and higher, and finally resounded through the clouds, forming a huge momentum, directly crushing the colorless second prince to the ground.

Yu Shi straightened up and shouted: "Come on, temporarily tie up His Royal Highness the Second Prince." The palace guards are not allowed to act rashly, and the city guards will follow the prime minister into the palace to clear out the villains and all the henchmen who are plotting to cause trouble!"

Then, there was the killing and bloodshed......

On this day, the Loulan Palace was cataciniated, countless people died, rivers of blood flowed, anyone who knew a little truth was killed, any truth was buried, and thousands of people died in the mud city with a total population of only 20,000 on this day......
