Chapter 1363: Thorn King
Chapter 1363 Thorn Jun
Guan Xi is right, the big seal of the Governor's Mansion has always been kept in Shangguan Xiu's hands, and an assassin suddenly appeared in the city, and he also stabbed Qian Jin, the matter was urgent, Shangguan Xiu didn't have time to find the military department to stamp the order, and it was possible to directly stamp the big seal of the Governor's Palace.
Confirming that it was the Great Seal of the Governor's Palace, Nie Zhen nodded, handed the order back to Guan Xi, and asked, "Where does General Guan want to lead his army to encircle and suppress the assassins?"
Nie Zhen's Tenth Army is incomplete, and the Eleventh Army is not complete, with an establishment of 100,000 people, and now there are only 50,000 or 60,000 people.
However, the army of 50,000 or 60,000 people entering the city is also huge enough, in Nie Zhen's opinion, mobilizing a legion into the city to encircle and suppress the assassins is really not like Shangguan Xiu's style, this is simply using cannons to bombard mosquitoes.
Guan Xizheng said: "Our army entered the city for two purposes, one is to protect the families of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the other is to pursue and suppress the assassins and their comrades. ”
Nie Zhen showed a sudden realization, and as soon as Guan Xi explained this, things were much more reasonable.
This time, the ministers went to Tianjing with His Majesty, although they did not bring all their family members over, but they also brought their favored wives and concubines and children, and now there are bold assassins in the city, although only Qian Jin was assassinated for the time being, but who dares to guarantee that the assassins will not divert their targets and attack others?
Nie Zhen cleared his throat, urged the horse to get closer to Guan Xi, and said in a low voice: "I also bother General Laoguan to send someone to protect my Nie family's courtyard in Tianjing." ”
Guan Xi said with a smile: "My own brother, what are you being polite to General Nie and me?" Don't worry, brother, I guarantee that the Nie family's courtyard is foolproof." ”
Nie Zhen grinned and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”
Guan Xi bowed his hand in return, then waved his hand back, led the army, and entered Tianjing City.
After the 11th Army entered the city, it immediately dispersed and surrounded the residences and annexes of all the ministers of the DPRK and China, nominally for protection, but in fact under house arrest.
In addition to the need for strong military backing and deterrence, the change of dynasty and the succession of a new monarch are also inseparable from the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China.
The family members who brought them to Tianjing were controlled first, which was also conducive to forcing the ministers to obediently submit and support Shangguanxiu to ascend the throne.
This coup d'état in Tianjing is definitely the weirdest coup d'état in the history of the Wind Country.
The new monarch who was to be established by the coup d'état was completely ignorant of the coup, and the march of the coup d'état could no longer be described as smooth, it was completely natural and step-by-step.
It can also be seen from this that Shangguan Xiu's power and influence in the Wind Country have reached a great extent, if he really wants to rebel and usurp the throne, it is really just a matter of words.
The Eleventh Legion entered the city, and such a big matter naturally spread to the branch of the Shura Hall.
Hearing the report of the brothers below, Zhao Chen, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei, Yan Hui and others were all surprised and dazed.
In the imperial court, the one who can mobilize the army into the city is either His Majesty, or Brother Xiu, and now Brother Xiu is at the entrance of the branch hall, and he has not given an order to let the Eleventh Army enter the city, so it must be His Majesty who mobilizes the Eleventh Army.
How big of a thing happened to make His Majesty mobilize a legion into the city? Zhao Chen looked at Shangguan Xiu and asked, "Does Brother Xiu know about the transfer of the Eleventh Legion into the city?"
At this time, Shangguan Xiu was also a question mark in his head, he shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. ”
"Since Brother Xiu doesn't know, it must be Your Majesty's will, but what does Your Majesty mean by suddenly mobilizing so many troops into the city?" After a pause, Zhao Chen shuddered and said cautiously: "Could it be that Your Majesty plans to do something to the families in Tianjing City?" If this is the case, Tianjing City will be in chaos.
Shangguan Xiu's brows were tightly locked, and his eyes swept over the faces of the people around him one by one, and he didn't see anything else on people's faces, except for surprise or surprise. After a while, he smiled with relief and said slowly, "Let's wait and see." ”
After a pause, he said, "In addition, send someone to find out why the Eleventh Legion entered the city and whose order it entered the city." ”
"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Zhao Chen agreed, and immediately arranged for his subordinates to investigate.
In the palace, the banquet continued, and the people attending the meeting drank more and more wine, even Tang Ling's little face was red from drinking, and the whole person looked even more beautiful and incomprehensible.
Just when everyone was having a good time, Cai Xiao stood up slowly, bowed to Tang Ling, and said, "Your Majesty!"
Tang Ling looked at Cai Xiao and asked with a smile, "What's the matter with Cai Aiqing?"
Cai Xiao cleared his throat and said: "Weichen heard that Mr. Jun's swordsmanship can be called unique in the world, and today His Majesty will have a banquet and have fun with the ministers, why not let Mr. Jun dance a set of swordsmanship to cheer up?" As he spoke, the corner of his eye turned to Jun Shengtian.
Hearing his words, the faces of everyone present changed. Anyway, Jun Shengtian used to be a dignified general, and now he is also the head of the Jun family, Cai Xiao let him dance the sword to help the fun, isn't he using him as a clown and shameful with a pure heart?
Tang Ling narrowed his eyes, turned his head to look at Jun Shengtian, and asked, "What does Mr. Jun think?"
Jun Shengtian secretly clenched his fists, his nails were pressed into the flesh of his palm, but on the surface, he could not see the slightest anger. He said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty is so Yaxing and is willing to appreciate the swordsmanship of the grass people, how dare the grass people hide it?"
Tang Ling smiled and nodded to the female officer on the side. A female officer held a sword and walked up to Jun Shengtian. The latter looked at the sword handed by the female officer, he paused for a moment, slowly stretched out his hand, and took the sword.
He pressed the circlip of the scabbard with his fingers, and he heard the sound of sand, and the blade of the sword in the scabbard popped out. Jun Shengtian drew his sword with the momentum, and a cold light suddenly appeared in the main hall. Jun Shengtian looked down at the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand and praised: "Good sword." ”
Cai Xiao took a long time and said happily: "The sword is a good sword, I hope that the person who dances the sword can also have a good martial arts and live up to his reputation!" He was deliberately provoking Jun Shengtian.
From the beginning of the banquet to the present, Jun Shengtian has given him the feeling that he is too calm, calm to the point of being impeccable, even if His Majesty repeatedly threatens him with a gun and a stick, it has not made him panic in the slightest, which makes Cai Xiao, who is bent on bringing down the Jun family, also a little anxious.
I thought that my proposal to let him dance the sword to cheer up the fun would provoke Jun Shengtian to be furious, but he didn't expect that he would be able to accept it gladly.
Jun Shengtian lifted the sword, bowed to Cai Xiao, and said: "Whether the grass people live up to their reputation, please wait and see." ”
As he spoke, he shook his figure, and he had left his seat and stood in the center of the hall. He slowly raised the sword in his hand, flicked his fingers on the blade of the sword, and buzzed, and the sound of a dragon's groan immediately came from the hall.
Before the echo fell, the three-foot Qingfeng had already flown up and down in Jun Shengtian's hands. Jun Shengtian's spiritual martial arts cultivation may not be very profound, but his martial arts skills are definitely first-class.
At this time, watching him dance the sword, ordinary people couldn't see his body clearly at all, and they felt that a swimming dragon was shuttling back and forth in the main hall.
Looking at Jun Shengtian, who was dancing with all his heart, Cai Xiao's face became more and more heavy, this person is not simple, he can stretch and contract, he can be rigid and soft, and he can accept such humiliation happily, if he gets the favor in the future, he will become his own confidant.
Cai Xiao didn't have the heart to appreciate Jun Shengtian's martial arts at all, and he had been secretly thinking in his heart about how to make Jun Shengtian's dancing sword turn into an assassin.
He was still pondering with his thoughts, not knowing whether Jun Shengtian was intentional or unintentional, and gradually moved closer to Tang Ling's side.
Seeing this, Cai Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was secretly happy in his heart, if he got closer, closer to His Majesty, he could be regarded as plotting against him!
Jun Shengtian in the sword dance suddenly jumped out with an arrow step, originally he was about ten meters away from Tang Ling, this arrow step, he arrived in front of the base of the dragon chair, and then went up a few steps, then it was Tang Ling close to the front, this situation and this scene made the faces of everyone present change greatly.
Cai Xiao subconsciously stood up, pointed at Jun Shengtian, and was just about to drink, Jun Shengtian rushed out of the sword first, and heard a crisp click in the ear chakra, and the sword he struggled to split was slashing on an incense burner next to the pedestal.
The incense burner made of pure copper was halved by everything, and at the same time, the sword in Jun Shengtian's hand was also broken from the middle and turned into two.
After only a moment, Cai Xiao shouted: "Jun Shengtian, you are so bold, dare to assassinate in public, come and take down this thief immediately......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a series of loud shots of spiritual muskets in his ear chakra. The spirit bullet shot did not fly towards Jun Shengtian, but directly at Tang Ling, who was sitting on the dragon chair.
Of the six spirit bullets, none of them missed, and all of them hit Tang Ling. The impact of the spirit bullet was so great that Tang Ling smashed the back of the dragon chair, and the whole person fell from the back of the chair.
This sudden change made everyone present stunned and stupid, time seemed to stand still, the hall was so quiet that the needle could be heard, after a while, there was a coax, the palace of peace seemed to suddenly explode, the female officials and palace maids pounced on Tang Ling who was shot, the patriarchs of the various families hugged their heads and ran around, and the ministers of the Wind Country shouted: "Arrest the assassin!
Jun Shengtian ignored others, he carried half of Qingfeng and jumped onto the stage in one step. Although he clearly saw that Tang Ling had been shot six times in her body, and it was difficult for the immortals to save her, whether she was dead or alive, he had to see it with his own eyes to rest assured.
At the moment when he jumped onto the platform, two clouds of black mist suddenly appeared on his left and right, and two dark spirit cultivators appeared in the air, two spirit knives, and attacked him together.
Jun Shengtian secretly said that it was not good, and the figure that had just jumped on the stage immediately retreated.
At this time, the Xianghe Hall was already in chaos, many people were rushing out, but no one could run out, outside the gate of the Xianghe Palace, I don't know when the gendarmes were standing.
The gendarmes were all armed with muskets, and the muzzles of the guns were clasped with swords, and the moment people ran to the door of the main hall, their chests almost hit Rulin's swords directly.
The people turned pale with fright, screaming and retreating. As the crowd of gendarmes parted to the left and right, he and Zi Yin walked into the main hall under the escort of a group of officers.
The two of them looked at the people in the hall like lightning, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty was assassinated, no one in the ranks present can get out of the way, and no one can leave the Hall of Harmony without a clear investigation!"
Seeing the arrival of the gendarmerie, Cai Xiao staggered forward as if he had found the backbone, and screamed: "It's Jun Shengtian! It's Jun Shengtian's assassination of His Majesty......
Before he finished speaking, the sound of the spirit fire gun was heard again in the hall, and the two subordinates of Jun Shengtian had now both jumped onto the platform, one of them used the spirit fire gun to force the two Tongtianmen disciples to retreat, and the other aimed at Tang Ling, who had fallen to the ground, and fired three more shots in a row.
It's just that this time Tang Ling was surrounded by female officials and palace maids, and three shots were fired into the crowd, screaming, and two palace maids splashed blood and fell on Tang Ling, and the scene was bloody.
The two Assassins were about to reload and shoot again, and more than a dozen disciples of the Tongtian Gate flashed into the main hall and launched a siege on the two Assassins.
Because the scene was too chaotic, many people couldn't dodge, and were affected by the two warring sides, blood burst out, and they fell to the ground.
The two assassins only had two spirit muskets in their hands that could be loaded in the future, and they couldn't stop the siege of more than a dozen disciples of Tongtianmen, and it didn't take long for the spirit armor on their bodies to be scratched and dripping with blood.
The two Assassins were cornered, and there was no way back, so they threw away the spirit muskets in their hands and scattered the spirit armor on their bodies, and just when people thought that the two Assassins had given up resistance and were ready to be captured, their cheeks were quickly covered with a layer of dark blue, and a dark red liquid flowed from the corners of their mouths.
Leaning against the wall, they slowly slipped and fell to the ground, their bodies twitching violently only a few times, and then they remained motionless.
