Chapter 33: Disappearance
The state banquet was over, and soon the news spread all over the world, and the six princesses, the heroines with extraordinary literary talents, turned the tide and defeated the chess saint and subdued the seven princes of Nanqiang became heroes in people's mouths.
"The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken. The sixth princess, this poem really wrote the wish of the Great Zhou soldiers. ”
"I still like to frighten the heavens the most, it's amazing, it's amazing"
"Hmph, Mulan's resignation is better, do you dare to despise us women in the future."
Countless literati and writers have praised these poems and songs, and for a time the streets and alleys of the capital were discussed.
At the West Qin Station, Dong Fanbai heard what happened to his subordinates at the end of the state banquet, and the hand holding the teacup refused to let go.
I thought that the Seven Princes defeated the Chess Saint was already shocking, but I didn't expect that even the Nanqiang Ancestor Divine Artifact had been brought out, and there were some terraces.
Fools can understand that it is impossible for Nanqiang to clash with the Great Zhou again, and Nanqiang's national strength will also greatly increase with the increase of grain production, which is definitely not good news for Western Qin.
If it doesn't get it right, Xi Qin will be attacked on his back, and the Seven Princes are really the nemesis of his life, and all the preparations in advance have failed.
"Don't worry too much." Makino has woken up and returned to normal, and his mind that was impacted by the Heavenly Demon Coat has also recovered to a certain extent.
"Mr. Makino, how can I not worry, Da Zhou and Nanqiang will inevitably form an alliance, and Da Zhou will have more living forces to deal with us." Dongfan frowned in vain.
"This Seventh Prince has no foundation, this time he has made immortal achievements, Emperor Wu will definitely reward him greatly, what do you say his two elder brothers will do."
If you are old and do not die, you are a thief, and if you are not dead, you are too thief.
Dong Fanbai's eyes lit up, and the gloom immediately dissipated: "Mr. Makino still sees it more thoroughly, we don't do anything, wait and see what happens." ”
Muye nodded, he was full of resentment towards Zhao Zili at this time, having been defeated twice.
Nanqiang is different, when the Red Refining Blood showed the Golden Silkworm Gu in the mission, everyone, including Shi Leyi, wept bitterly, and the revival of the ancestor artifact was a sign of Nanqiang's great prosperity.
After hearing what Zhao Zili said about the method of terraces, everyone's jaws were even more surprised and their jaws were about to fall to the ground, and they all regarded Zhao Zili as their biggest benefactor.
As soon as the eldest prince returned home, he found Jia Xu and told him all the things that happened at the state banquet.
Jia Xu was also taken aback, he couldn't imagine that this Seven Princes was so powerful.
"Master, we should do this." Zhao Zilin was a little anxious, a second child was difficult enough, and he was going crazy when he came to a more powerful seventh child.
"Your Highness, don't be anxious, Your Highness Second Highness must be very anxious at this time, and Your Highness the Seventh is now in the limelight, and the gains and losses of his attack at this time outweigh the losses, I'm afraid it will cause Your Majesty to be unhappy."
"You can't watch him sit big."
"Hey, how is that possible, it's just that we need to wait, the Second Highness and Xi Qin must have a move, we are praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, maybe even the Second Highness will clean up together."
Zhao Zilin immediately smiled when he heard this.
On the second prince's side, Sima Yan also made the same judgment and told the second prince that the enemy would not move, and he would wait and see what happened.
The three parties chose to remain silent at the same time, no one moved, and each was waiting for the other to strike first.
Zhao Zili returned to the palace, although it was calm for the time being, but the storm was coming.
Summoned everyone in the palace, Ah Ruo, Gao Xiang, Shui Rou Leng Feng and Qi Ya.
"You all know about the state banquet, although I see that this king is in the limelight now, but those parties must be ready to move."
It is necessary to find a way before they act, which is Zhao Zili's top priority now.
"Lord Wang, there is a way for my subordinates." Kia said aloud.
"Oh, tell me."
"The group of people who are monitoring outside the house, and their subordinates have figured out the laws of their behavior." Chia has been keeping an eye on that group lately, and she knows how they change shifts.
"Your subordinates can capture them alive with the soft water and cold wind, and then play a bitter trick."
Zhao Zili slapped the table and said, "Good idea, and then directly let me pretend that I have been injured and have been in a coma and poisoned, and a prince who will die at any time will be safer." ”
"Yes, in order to be more realistic, the executive's family needs to shed some blood." Qia looked at Gao Xiang embarrassedly.
"No problem, as long as it's for the prince, it's not enough to worry about this little thing." Gao Xiang didn't care, shedding a little blood was just a trivial matter.
"Ah Ruo, you go and send a letter to Nanqiang's Red Refining Blood, let her cooperate as well, and then stay in the mission." Zhao Zili thought about the plan thoroughly, and everyone began to act.
At night, Ah Ruo came to the Nanqiang Mission with Zhao Zili's secret letter.
"I see, this princess knows, your name is Ah Ruo, you can stay in the mission as planned." After reading Zhao Zili's letter of red blood refining, he did not hesitate and chose to cooperate.
Qi Ya quickly grabbed the man in black with Shui Rou and cold wind, and Shui Rou asked, "Mr. Qi, who is this person and why is he spying on the prince?" ”
"I don't know, I wanted to interrogate just now, but these people seem to be dead soldiers, and they immediately committed suicide by poisoning."
Looking at the three corpses on the ground, Qi Ya was very surprised, the original plan was to capture them alive, and then take the opportunity to interrogate, but he didn't expect this to be the result.
"Forget it, I'll know later, change into their clothes according to the prince's orders."
The three of them quickly disfigured the corpse and changed their clothes back into the palace.
"The prince is ready, without further ado." Gao Xiang was slashed with two swords on his body at this time, and the blood flowed endlessly, although it looked terrible, but it was by no means fatal.
"Uncle Xiang has worked hard for you." Even so, Zhao Zili was still very distressed.
"Unfortunately, it's nothing for the sake of the prince." Gao Xiang's face was pale, after all, he left a lot of blood.
The three of Chia came back, threw the three corpses on the ground, and said, "I wanted to capture them alive, but these three people all committed suicide by poisoning, and it is more appropriate for the subordinates to disguise these three as the three subordinates who were killed." ”
Although Zhao Zili doesn't like to kill, he has no choice but to do so in order to save his life.
The patrolling forbidden army is about to arrive, Zhao Zili has made great achievements in the daytime, and Emperor Wu happened to arrange a team of forbidden troops to protect him at night, which made it convenient for him to find someone to witness.
The forbidden army, led by Xiao Bielide, was heading to the Song Palace, and the soldiers under his command were also very excited.
The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies, inspiring the determination of the soldiers to protect their families and defend the country.
Suddenly, a figure rushed over, covered in blood, and it was Gao Xiang.
"Help... Hurry up and save the prince..."Gao Xiang fell to the ground, and Xiao Bieli hurriedly helped him up.
"Are you, from the Song Palace?" There was only one Song Wangfu on this street, and Xiao Bieli's heart sank.
"Quick, someone is attacking the palace." After saying that, he fainted.
Xiao Beili didn't dare to delay, and led the forbidden army to quickly rush to the palace, pushing the gate and three unrecognizable corpses were lying in the center of the courtyard, and the broken courtyard showed a fierce battle just now.
"Quick, everyone search immediately, be sure to find the prince." Xiao Bieli searched all over the palace and didn't find Zhao Zili.
arranged for someone to continue the search, and he found Meng Tiankui and told Zhao Zili about the attack.
"What, the King of Song was attacked, or who is so bold in the palace." Meng Tiankui was shocked, thinking in his heart that it was the two who did it, or the people of Xiqin.
"Yes, except for one housekeeper in the Song Palace, all three guards were killed in battle, and the whereabouts of the Song King and the maid are unknown." Xiao Bieli is also regretting it, if he arrived earlier, it would be fine.
"Quick, I'm going to enter the palace to inform Your Majesty and send the Plum Blossom Pavilion to help." Meng Tiankui hurriedly went to the palace.
In the palace, Emperor Wu was talking with the queen about the state banquet during the day in Kunning Palace, and his eyebrows were dancing, not to mention how happy he was.
"This son of mine really surprised me too much, he used to snub him, he said that the Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies in Sheji, how can I be reliable in Da Zhou."
Empress Nangong also praised Zhao Zili very much, and said: "Your Majesty, not everyone between father and son is like this, and Zili has no intention of blaming His Majesty." ”
"The queen is right, Zili's meritorious service this time is too great, and without the pressure of Nanqiang, I will have more strength to suppress Western Qin."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty for getting the Qilinzi again, but King Song is going to the fiefdom in less than two months, what should I do."
When Emperor Wu heard this, he was silent for a while and thought about it, and said: "It's okay, the eldest and second didn't let them go to the fiefdom, and I will find out what suitable reason to keep the seventh." ”
Just as the two were talking, Meng Tiankui entered the palace and met Cao Zhengchun outside the queen's palace.
"Gonggong Cao, Your Majesty can be in the Queen's Palace."
Cao Zhengchun was stunned, Meng Tiankui should not be in the palace at this time, something must have happened.
"Yes, the general has something to do, let our family inform Your Majesty."
"Quick, hurry up and report, the Seventh Prince was attacked in the mansion, the person has disappeared, the guard died in battle, and His Royal Highness's life and death are unknown." Meng Tiankui was almost trembling as he spoke.
"What?" Cao Zhengchun didn't dare to delay, the current Seven Princes must not have anything to do, so he hurriedly pushed open the door and ran to Emperor Wu's side.
"Cao Zhengchun, why is your minion suddenly so rude." Emperor Wu looked at Cao Zhengchun who ran over and asked.
"Your Majesty's big thing is not good, just now General Meng came to report that there were thieves attacking the Song Palace, and the Seven Princes were taken captive."
Emperor Wu was shocked when he heard this, and the empress also let out an exclamation.
"Let Meng Tiankui come in, I want to ask clearly." Emperor Wu's face was gloomy as water, he was still happy just now, but in the blink of an eye, there was an accident or at the foot of the sky.
Soon Meng Tiankui came in and knelt down.
"Tell me what happened to the Song Palace?" Emperor Wu's voice was low, he gritted his teeth, and he could see that he was on the verge of eruption, and Meng Tiankui was so frightened that his heart and gall were broken.
"Back .. Returning to His Majesty, the minister was ordered to arrange for the forbidden army to protect the king of Song, and the deputy commander of the forbidden army, Xiao Bieli, personally led the team to go, and just arrived at the office and met the housekeeper of the Song Wang's mansion covered in blood, only to know that the king of Song was attacked, and immediately led people to go, but except for a few guards who died in battle, the king of Song was nowhere to be found. ”
Emperor Wu smashed the table in front of him and roared angrily: "Cao Zhengchun, immediately go to the Plum Blossom Pavilion to pass the decree, so that Blood Qianxun can set off to find King Song, and be sure to ensure the safety of King Song." ”
Emperor Wu paused and said tightly: "If something happens to King Song, Blood Qianxun and the Second Pavilion will all be dead and apologize." ”
