Before dawn, Hot Black Wood, Happy and others returned to the palace one after another, and they all returned empty-handed.

Hearing that Zhao Yu was injured, everyone rushed to visit first, but fortunately, Dr. Qian used the medicine in time, and used a silver needle to bleed, and the Wing King used his internal strength to help him discharge the poisonous blood in his body, and now there is no major problem, and the lips that were purple at first also began to white, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

To say that the layout is happy, he guesses that the prince will inevitably alarm the Winged King when he learns that the Tianshaku Tiger's assassination of the "Winged King Yizi" will not succeed, and even cause the Winged King to be angry, and the consequences will definitely cause the Winged King to take action, so the prince is afraid that he will do it before the Winged King's action, and what he wants to do most must be to assassinate the Winged King, if he wants to assassinate the Winged King, there are only two killers that can be used now, one is the Sky-Shaking Tiger, and the other is the Purple Wind, however, the Sky-Shaking Tiger is not treated by him now, and the work is very rough, so, Nine times out of ten, he would let Zifeng do this, It turned out that Happy guessing was correct, because soon, Zifeng informed Ouyang Zhenming that the prince wanted him to assassinate the Wing King, and how could Zi Feng come to assassinate the Wing King? The reason why he did things for the crown prince was for only one purpose, to trample on the Sky Shaking Tiger, so he would try his best to use this opportunity to let the Sky Shaking Tiger do it for him.

So Happy planned a plan, consisting of Hot Black Wood, Zhao Yu, Zixu, and him, the four of them were divided into teams of two, taking turns guarding the Wing King every night, everyone slept in full clothes, and at the same time, the guards also took turns to hide in the shadows and corners of the courtyard. And tonight happens to be Zhao Yu and Happy on duty.

That night, the Sky Shaker had sprayed ecstasy into the Winged King's room, but he was happily picked up an empty vase on the table and brought it in.

In the fierce battle in the room, the Sky Shaking Tiger had already been injured, but even so, he was still strong in his internal force when he later urged the White Tiger.

Hot Black Wood and the others pursued the Sky Shaking Tiger all the way but did not find any trace of him, but they did not expect that the Sky Shaking Tiger did not leave the palace.

Zixu asked happy: "How do you know that he didn't leave?" ”

Said happily: "Because the white tiger is still there, he can't be too far away from the talisman magic weapon, otherwise he can't control it, when Linglong Bao smashed towards the tiger's head, the white tiger suddenly disappeared, obviously it was not Linglong Bao who smashed it, but he took back the magic weapon, so he must still be nearby." Seeing that everyone was chasing him, the palace was empty, it was a good opportunity for him to attack, how could he give up so easily? So, he just hid in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to move, and when we all went after him, he would suddenly appear to assassinate the Wing King, fortunately, my master felt the edge with great skill, and also took a knife for the master, and I and Zu Mureti hid on the roof beam and waited for him to appear, I shouted his name, and he looked at me, and I unceremoniously blinded him with a small slingshot. ”

The Winged King smiled: "These two eccentric children, now the Sky Shaking Tiger has become a one-eyed tiger. ”

"You broke his ribs, I heard the movement, it was very brittle." However, his body was like an iron beaten, and he fled as fast as he could, and there was blood on the ground, and when he ran to the street, the people who answered him came, and there were hundreds of people, just in time for the hot seniors to come back, and as a result, there was another fight, and finally let him escape. ”

Hot Black Wood said: "Well, it seems that the Sky Shaking Tiger is self-aware and knows that he will run away if he can't win, so he arranged for his subordinates to ambush him on the street early to respond." ”

Zixu was very frustrated: "Such a good opportunity to kill the Sky Shaking Tiger was wasted, so many of us still couldn't kill him." ”

Happy smile: "Uncle Zixu, if the Sky Shaking Tiger is so easy to kill, he will not become the prince's cronies, let alone be arrogant for so many years, when the Sky Shaking Tiger assassinated General Qu Yan, General Qu and his three sons joined forces, and dozens of guards besieged him to seriously injure him, this time he was blind, broke his bones, and did not please him." ”

Ouyang Dao: "General Qu Yan is not the only one who fights with the Sky Shaking Tiger, but also several of General Qu's friends in the rivers and lakes, otherwise, even if General Qu Yan has strong martial arts, the Sky Shaking Tiger will not be seriously injured at all." ”

It seems that it is really not easy to kill the Sky Shaking Tiger, I am happy to remember that I had the courage to single out the Sky Shaking Tiger, I can't help but be a little afraid, if it weren't for my brother's timely help, and with Liu Ziyu as a hostage, I don't know what the consequences are, he pouted and asked:

"If it's one-on-one, in the whole world, whose skill can compete with the Sky Shaking Tiger?"

Rehemu said: "Your ancestor Mr. Zhao is one, and the other one is the Netherworld Saint." It just so happened that Mr. Dongfang and Zang Feiyi had something to do and left two days ago, otherwise whether the Sky Shaking Tiger could have his life today is in the capital. ”

Said happily: "No wonder the Sky Shaking Tiger was so frightened that he withdrew the White Tiger when he saw the Linglong Treasure attacking, now that he is seriously injured, he will not come again for the time being, we can also rest for a while." In short, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. ”

At this point, he suddenly remembered the bronze mirror and put his hand on his chest, which was now in his arms......

In the face of the prince's provocation, although the wing king was not afraid in his heart, but since the matter had come to this point, it was impossible for him to let the prince be arrogant, his expression was condensed, he pondered for a moment, and said:

"The prince first attacked the people in my house, and the king remembered that he was the prince and the nephew of the king, so he repeatedly forbeared, and he couldn't bear to start, and now he has directly wanted to kill the king, since he is not benevolent, then don't blame the king for being unkind. The so-called 'I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry', it seems that the prince's hot tofu is really uneatable. ”

He said to Zixu: "In the afternoon, you go and invite Lord Zhang Chengxiao to come over." ”

Zixu responded: "Yes." ”

University scholar Zhang Chengxiao is an old minister of the court, upright, although he did not clearly stand in line with the second prince Chenjun Wang, but he repeatedly proposed to the emperor that Chenjun Wang take over the defense of the capital, which caused the prince to be dissatisfied, Zhao Dehai had disguised himself to be his protégé, and was driven out, and then the prince wanted to kill Zhang Chengxiao, it was Zifeng who took the initiative to ask Ying to come to the door in person to be a lobbyist, and I didn't know what Zifeng said, but Zhang Chengxiao really closed his mouth, and since then he has been low-key and introverted, and gradually faded out of everyone's sight, and the prince almost forgot his existence, thus temporarily saving one of his lives.

After the return of the Wing King, Zhang Chengxiao had come to visit the palace with a group of ministers, and everyone talked very happily, since the flying sand attacked the people who came and went to the Wing King's Mansion, the Wing King also privately ordered people to report to the adults, do not move around for the time being, so as not to encounter accidents. And just after the flying sand was removed by the Wing King, and the eyeliner of the crown prince Wu Detang was also killed one after another, the Wing King strengthened the guard in front of the palace gate, but despite this, these ministers and friends could only go to and from the palace under the escort of the guards.

In the afternoon, Zhang Chengxiao came to the Yiwang Mansion under the escort of Zixu.

Sixty-year-old Zhang Chengxiao, seven feet long, with bright eyes, and a half-foot long white beard under his jaw looks quite fairy-like.

The two saluted and sat down.

King Yi said: "Lord Zhang is highly respected, it should have been this king who went to visit the lord in the house, but for reasons you know, it is inconvenient for this king to move around, so as not to bring you unnecessary trouble, so I only ask you to run in person." ”

Zhang Chengxiao said respectfully: "Lord Wang, you are too modest, Cheng Xiao is just a courtier, you are the prince, how dare you work for the prince to go to the cold house." ”

After a few pleasantries, he cut to the topic.

King Yi said: "I heard that Lord Zhang once advised the emperor above the court that King Chenjun would take over the defense of the capital, but not only did the emperor ignore it, but also caused the prince's dissatisfaction, so that Lord Zhang was once in danger. ”

Zhang Chengxiao stroked his beard, a touch of pain flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I, Zhang Chengxiao, have been an official for 40 years, and the former emperor once scolded the old minister for being a 'stubborn donkey', but the first emperor will think carefully about every word he says to the old minister, and think about it carefully, and now the emperor, he is stubborn and self-serving, making decisions based on his own imagination, not listening to the ministers, not seeing the vicissitudes of the world, the old minister is ashamed, and can only watch the Liang country fall into chaos day by day, watching the people displaced, but there is nothing to be done. The dispute between the crown prince and the second prince has been a long time, not only did not attract the attention of the emperor, but he was even more conniving, watching his own flesh and blood kill each other, watching the prince kill his courtiers and harm celebrities, but he turned a blind eye. The old minister really doesn't understand the emperor's heart, Zhang Chengxiao has a heart to serve the country, but he has no purpose, he thinks about it but has nothing to do, it is really sad to think about it. ”

This is the most simple but most painful words said by the old minister of Liang State, and King Yi was also inexplicable when he heard it.

He said: "This is also one of the reasons why this king has not visited the emperor since he returned to the capital." ”

Zhang Chengxiao said: "Now that the emperor is seriously ill, the surrounding small countries are eyeing my Liang country, the border wars are continuous, the treasury is unable to make ends meet, and the dispute between the prince and the king of Chenjun is becoming increasingly fierce, and the country will not be a country in the long run." On the occasion of this national crisis, the return of the Wing King is what everyone is looking forward to, and the old ministers have seen a glimmer of hope, and they are all counting on the Wing King You can take everyone to find a way out and give Liang Guo a glimmer of hope! If it weren't for the current emperor's frame-up at the beginning, the person sitting on the throne now is you, if you were the emperor, Liang Guo would definitely not be like today. ”

King Yi said: "The king knows what the emperor and the prince have done, and if there is no lord in the Liang country, the country will die." Lord Zhang is the old minister of the country, a passionate, heroic and upright, is a model of hundreds of officials, Lord Zhang has endured for months, and now it is time to come out to move the muscles, today the king invites you to come, there is an important matter to discuss with you. ”

Zhang Chengxiao was solemn and respected, and said with his forehead: "What does the prince have to tell you, just say it, Cheng Xiao listens to it." ”

King Yi smiled and said, "I wonder what Lord Zhang thinks of King Ji Xuan of Chenjun?" ”

Zhang Chengxiao said: "King Chenjun is humble and self-contained, open-minded, kind-hearted, eloquent, and long-term, but he is very similar to your temperament as the Wing King. ”

King Yi smiled: "Lord Zhang praised it falsely, Hong Chen is ashamed, but since Lord Zhang thinks that King Chenjun is good, can he be the future emperor of Liang Kingdom?" ”

Zhang Chengxiao was stunned, blinked, and asked, "Wing King, when you come back, don't you want to, don't you want to ......?"

King Yi said: "Lord Zhang, since you think that King Chenjun and this king are very similar in temperament, what is the difference between this king being the emperor and Ji Xuan being the emperor?" As long as the country can be stabilized and the country and the people are safe, then it is a good emperor, what we need is just a good emperor for the country and the people, not whether this emperor is me Ji Hongchen, isn't it? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chengxiao stood up, with a solemn face, saluted respectfully at the Wing King, and said: "Cheng Xiao is still short-sighted, Cheng Xiao originally thought that the Wing King came back to take back everything that should belong to you, but I didn't expect that you were not thinking about yourself, but the future of the Liang Kingdom and the people, Cheng Xiao was embarrassed." As soon as you say this, Cheng Xiao understands, whether you want to sit in person or support King Chenjun, Cheng Xiao will follow King Yi, everything is up to your arrangement, even if you fight for Cheng Xiao's old life. ”

The Wing King got up with a smile and said gently: "Lord Zhang, your old life is very precious, you can't just fight it, you just don't care, this king is reluctant." ”

He helped Zhang Chengxiao to the chair and sat down, and then he also sat down on the chair beside him, and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Zhang, now the prince has attacked this king, and his people stole into the palace last night to assassinate this king." ”

"What?" Zhang Chengxiao was shocked.

The Winged King smiled and said, "Look, isn't this king still doing well?" However, this reminds this king that he must not delay any longer, since the prince dares to kill this king, it is not far from attacking you old ministers who do not side with him, so this king has decided that we are going to fight back. ”

Zhang Chengxiao's spirits were lifted and he asked, "How to fight back?" ”

King Yi said: "There are many old ministers in the court, and there are many righteous people like Lord Zhang, so this king wants to ask you to do this......"
