Chapter 99: The Hongmen Banquet in Liangzhou City (2)
When the red smoke cleared and everyone was surprised by this design, Cheng Duo let out an exclamation, it turned out that Yu Mingche had already flown in front of him with a sword, and the tip of the sword was pointed straight at the bridge of his nose.
The sword shone with a dazzling cold light, and Cheng Duo's eyes, which were originally confused by drunkenness, were wide open at this moment, and the fear of death was written in them.
But after a moment of fear, Cheng Duo reacted, and immediately slapped the table in front of him, and the wine in the wine glass immediately shook out.
In the blink of an eye, a group of people with weapons surrounded the entire hall, and everyone now understood that it must be the lord of the country, Cheng Hao, who wanted to take advantage of this banquet to eradicate Cheng Duo's forces.
For a while, the entire hall was full of cries for help and screams, and several nobles who were greedy for life and afraid of death wanted to run to the door, but they never wanted to run to the door, and they were immediately stabbed by the guards of Cheng Duo who surrounded the door.
Seeing blood, human nature will change from fear to fear, and the originally noisy hall immediately fell silent, and everyone trembled as they looked at the knives in the hands of the guards.
Yu Mingche had already expected this, just sneered, and then jumped from the front of Cheng Duo, jumped behind him, and put the sword on his neck, so that the whole situation fell into a stalemate, Cheng Duo did not dare to make a sound because of the fear of the sword on his neck, and Cheng Hao and Yu Mingche did not dare to kill him easily because the hall was full of Cheng Duo's people.
"Lord, the old minister is loyal to you, why are you?" Looking at the stalemate in front of him, Cheng Duo turned to Cheng Hao and said coldly.
"Uncle Huang, you have been in power for many years, and you have caused the entire Chiwu clan to be in a miasma, it's time to rest." Cheng Hao walked down and said lightly in front of Cheng Duo.
"You kid, you want to use the set of things of the Central Plains people on our Chiwu tribe, messing up the foundation of our entire nation, I can't tolerate it!" Cheng Duo looked at Cheng Hao who walked down and yelled at him.
The people below heard Cheng Duo's roar, and couldn't help but raise the knives in their hands again, and several of them spoke to Cheng Hao who stood up to help him, and they killed them mercilessly.
Yu Mingche saw that they were so ruthless towards their own people, and he also tightened the sword in his hand, and Cheng Duo's neck was already bleeding bright red blood.
"Uncle Huang, the method of governing the country is not one in the first place, I just want to lead our people away from nomadism and burn and loot days, what's wrong with this?!" Cheng Hao saw that they continued to attack their own people, and he also yelled angrily at Cheng Duo.
"You just learned some bullshit and crooked reasoning in the Central Plains, and now you are still bewitched by this jade Mingche and want to kill loyal ministers, so what? You can't fight me. Cheng Duo continued.
At this moment, another team of men and horses came in from outside the palace, and the sound of swords colliding entered the main hall, and a smile appeared on Cheng Duo's face.
The appearance of this team of centaurs surprised Cheng Hao, and he didn't expect them to make a lot of calculations, and in the end they still missed Cheng Duo's other centaurs.
"Uncle Huang, what are you?! I can't believe that you have already thought of my idea and secretly kept such a hand? Cheng Hao was a little surprised, but immediately returned to his cold face and said.
"Cheng Hao Xiaoer, you want to kill me for a day or two, a few days ago you released Yu Mingche, and today you invited me to a banquet, although I don't understand the ghosts of the Central Plains, but I have also heard the story of the Hongmen Banquet, so how can I not make some preparations?" Cheng Duo said with a laugh.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Yu Mingche's forehead, they never thought that the seemingly reckless Cheng Duo would have such a mind, now in this situation, if that team of people and horses came in, then all the people here could be killed, thinking about it, he couldn't help but tighten the sword in his hand again.
"Uncle Huang, you have been playing with the government all these years, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, giving and receiving privately, selling officials and lords, these crimes are enough for you to die ten times, if you are still obsessed, don't blame me for not remembering the friendship between uncle and nephew!" Cheng Hao also knew that the current situation was not good, and roared at Cheng Duo again.
"Huh! Do you think I want to be the lord of the country? Okay, Cheng Hao, I'll tell you, if it weren't for my low status as a concubine, I wouldn't have passed on the position of the lord of the country to your father back then, and I wouldn't have yelled at me now, but I already know that you are dissatisfied with me, if I die, my son will naturally be able to replace me! Cheng Duo also made a cold sound from between his teeth.
At this moment, the door of the hall was breached, and Cheng Duo's men and horses rushed in outside the door, led by Cheng Duo's son Cheng Tai, and Cheng Duo sneered when he saw Cheng Tai.
The scene fell into chaos in an instant, Cheng Hao's secret guard and Cheng Tai each fought for their own masters, and the entire hall was like a battlefield for a while.
Just when everyone was fighting inextricably, they suddenly remembered the music again, and it became louder and louder, until it overshadowed everyone's shouting and killing, and all of them stopped their movements and began to look for the source of the music.
Until he saw Wu Wei hiding in the corner, he continued to play the horse-head qin in his hand as if nothing had happened, and the piano was certainly not ordinary, because the sound it made directly penetrated the hall and resounded throughout the palace.
And the dancer who had just turned into red smoke reappeared in the middle, dancing to the music while falling from the sky.
Her body seemed to bloom as if it were going to bloom, and as she bloomed, all the petals scattered along with the dance, landing next to everyone.
Everyone was stunned by such a strange scene, and several guards who were not afraid of death rushed in front of the dancer and slashed down with their knives, and the dancer turned into a piece of drawing paper.
Just when everyone was surprised to see the dancers turn into drawing paper, the two halves of the drawing paper on the ground turned into two dancers again, and they stood up and continued to dance.
As the climax of the music sounded, everyone began to feel a splitting headache, and many of them dropped their weapons and fell to the ground and shouted loudly.
With the sound of crackling weapons falling, all of Cheng Duo's people fell one after another, but Cheng Hao's people all stood intact.
This battle announced Cheng Hao's victory in Cheng Duo's frightened eyes, which was also part of Yu Mingche's plan, just in case such a time, Mu Xiyun infected the painting paper with the poison he made, and used the painting paper to transform into a beautiful dancer, those petals are actually a trick, that is, the crumbs of the painting paper, when they fall under their feet, everyone has already been stained with poison powder.
As for the reason why some people are poisoned and some people are not poisoned, it is that Cheng Hao's secret guard has already drunk the wine with the antidote in advance, and the wine jugs in the hands of the palace maids who Raya arranged to pour the wine today are also different, and the wine poured for innocent people already has an antidote.
"Cheng Hao, your scheming is so deep, it's really terrifying!" Cheng Duo shouted at Cheng Hao.
"Uncle Huang, I am ruthless to you, so that I will be less ruthless to the people and the entire Chiwu clan in the future." Cheng Hao said with a sneer.
