Chapter 177: Belated Killing Intent
Chapter 177
"Hey, I said, don't you need to test for drugs in advance for food or something?"
In the room, Xiao Yue looked at the lone star who was eating at the table, and asked helplessly.
"Sister Xiaoyue, you can't help but underestimate the bearing of a king. ”
Lone Star laboriously swallowed the sauce beef in his mouth, and licked his mouth dissatisfied, then glanced at Xiao Yue and said: "Do you think it is feasible for a commander who has been on the battlefield for many years and has almost never been defeated, let him give up his usual iron-blooded methods and adopt this despicable behavior?"
"Let's not mention that he is a soldier, will the self-esteem of a soldier allow him to do this, just as the monarch of a country, this bit of backbone is still there, compared to this, I would rather believe that he will choose to send someone to assassinate. ”
As he spoke, Lone Star picked up the wine in the cup again, and drank it all, the unique spicy taste of the imperial wine suddenly bloomed on the tip of his tongue, and the pleasure that rose in his heart couldn't help but make him addicted.
"Hiss~ good wine!"
"And you're still going to eat?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yue glared at him even more angrily, but seeing that his expression was calm, and his calm appearance was not like pretending at all, he had the bearing of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing his face, but he also secretly admired his courage.
"This nerd, don't say anything else, just this kind of bearing is enough to bear the four words of a young hero, but his temperament is too stubborn, and he doesn't want to think about it, this kind of juncture, how can you be allowed to be strong. ”
Xiao Yue glanced worriedly at the gradually darkening sky outside the curtain, knowing that persuasion was useless, so she had to say something indignantly in her heart.
Time passed little by little, and the sky gradually darkened, and the palace shrouded in night was quiet, and similarly, Lone Star's mentality was calm and terrifying.
He drank a jar full of spirits, and fell drunk on the bed, and he even snored pleasantly.
Listening to the snoring sound in his ears, and then looking at the drunk unconscious Lone Star on the bed, Xiao Yue had no choice but to hide aside and act as a protector, the cold and restrained Wanyue Sword was quietly fixed in front of the bed, although it was not unsheathed, Sen Liang's sword intent had already come first, and he confided murderous intentions three feet away.
Compared with the tension in the room, the imperial city outside the room is even quieter to the extreme, and tonight even the sound of birds has not been heard, and in the extreme north, under the cold moonlight, a group of uninvited guests are getting closer and closer with their ingenious body skills, these people are all black-clad and masked, with different body shapes, the only similarity is the murderous aura that cannot be concealed, and everyone acts together, so that the surrounding air is almost condensed into substance.
"Three stop killing, five spirit killing, what do you think, sir?"
In the extreme north direction, a man in a fancy costume was standing in the main hall with his back and looking at the starry sky, and behind him, there was a rickety old man.
"It's naturally more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but if you deal with him, you still can't be careless. ”
The old man is almost old, which can be seen from his gray hair and the same white eyebrows and beard, what is strange is that his face is extraordinarily young, smooth and ruddy like a child, and his long eyelashes are flashing with wisdom, but his eyes are indescribably strange, this person has no pupils...
"But this is already the maximum force that can be sent. ”
The man paused and said, "Try not to startle the snake and hide it." ”
The old man pondered for a while: "Even if this is the case, it must not be taken lightly, after all, this son is not an ordinary person, but a son of bad luck!"
Hearing this, the man turned around, a trace of hesitation flashed on his resolute face, if Lone Star was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this person was the emperor of today's Great Chu, that is, Chu Rou'er's father, Chu Feng, I saw that he unconsciously clenched his fists, and then sighed deeply and said, "Does he have to die?"
The old man flashed his pupilless eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Alone, the heavens and the earth are chaotic, and all living beings will be destroyed." The people come first, the society comes last, and our emperor should focus on the overall situation. ”
"But if he hadn't, wouldn't we have killed a good man by mistake?"
Chu Feng didn't seem to be trying to put Lone Star to death, and he was still excusing him even after the matter had come to this point.
But seeing the old man shook his head, he denied: "Since the birth of the son of bad luck, the heavens and stars have reversed, so that the civil disasters continue, and the heavens are unpredictable. The heavenly stone demon descended, and the world was ruined. According to the hexagram, the first three sentences of the poem are three characters in order: night, solitary, and star, which shows that this son is the person we are looking for. ”
"Especially after the old minister Bai Jian hid on the side and witnessed this son leave, the back that he could barely see clearly in the chaos really looks like this son, so the old minister can be sure!"
After saying so much, seeing that Chu Feng still had a sad face, the old man's expression became solemn again: "Righteousness is in front, I would rather kill the wrong person than let it go, not to mention anything else, this suspicion alone is enough for us to shoot hundreds of times, thousands of times, everything is for the people of the whole world, why should my emperor feel guilty!"
Chu Feng muttered to himself, "Is it righteous?" I don't know, I'm just a little worried about that girl, and I don't know if she will blame me?"
"Your Majesty is worried about Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
At the mention of Chu Rou'er, a rare touch of softness appeared on the old man's cold face, and then comforted: "Your Highness is still young now, when she grows up, the old minister thinks that she will definitely understand what Your Majesty did today." ”
"I hope so. ”
Chu Feng sighed again, waved his hand and said, "It's late at night, Mr. is sick, it's better to rest early, the next thing is my own arrangement, Mr. doesn't need to worry." ”
So the old minister retired. ”
Before leaving, the old man glanced at Chu Feng deeply and turned to leave.
Suddenly, only Chu Feng was left in the huge palace, and after a sigh, it was even more empty.
At this time, the group of black-clothed people had also all stood outside Lone Star's room, the cold blades flickering with coldness, and the murderous aura was almost permeating through the doors and windows.
"Hmph, it's finally here!"
Xiao Yue stood in the corner and snorted coldly, and was about to take the waning moon in his hand from afar, but was stopped by the other pair of hands, only to realize that Lone Star had woken up at some point, and was looking at himself with a sword and a smile.
"Are you awake?"
For some reason, seeing his smile, Xiao Yue's tense heart suddenly relaxed.
"Hey, such a heavy murderous aura, I won't be smoked to death by them if I don't wake up?"
Holding the waning moon in his hand for a few laps, Lone Star looked out of the door with some sneer, his eyes narrowed into a line and said: "There are eight people in total, well, the strength is good, but as a killer, they are not qualified." ”
