Chapter 59: Peaks and Loops
This scared Zheng Tianxiang a lot.
"Fourth Highness, you can't kill me, I'm your person!"
Zheng Tianxiang was yelling and struggling frantically, but the sharp blade had slowly pressed against his neck, and he had already felt a chill from there.
There was a fear of death that spread throughout his body, making him tremble uncontrollably.
Looking at the four princes in front of him with incredible eyes, he couldn't believe why the four princes wanted to get rid of him together.
"Your Highness... Four Highnesses ......"
Under Zheng Tianxiang's heart-rending shout, the four princes did not respond in the slightest, but just looked coldly at the people in front of him, these people are now dead in his eyes, including the crown prince.
Only when the crown prince dies can the prince's position fall into his hands, and he himself sent himself to the imperial prison.
Such a great opportunity must not be missed.
"Do it!"
The fourth prince glanced at these people in front of him and ordered loudly, his eyes were full of fierceness.
Everyone in front of him was a stumbling block to him now, and he was going to get rid of them anyway.
However, when the fourth prince glanced at this kind of person, he found that the corners of Zhou Yang's mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes were full of banter.
Seeing Zhou Yang's expression, the four princes' hearts were suddenly shocked.
Even if it is a fool, there must be some changes in the face of this situation, but this Zhou Yang in front of him is very abnormal.
Thinking of the fact that Zhou Yang had buried so many pits for himself before, but today he was pinched by himself so easily, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.
There is also His Royal Highness the Prince, you must know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not very bold, but today he looks extremely calm.
"Do they have any other plans?"
The fourth prince thought to himself in his heart, and there was an uneasy look that struck his whole body, making him can't help but shiver.
The more uneasy he was in his heart, the more the four princes wanted to quickly solve these people in front of him.
"Kill them quickly, and leave none of them behind."
He anxiously urged his men to hurry up, but as soon as the words fell, he heard the sound of understanding breaking through the air.
From the horizontal corner at the end of the edict, there were several crossbow arrows, which were shooting towards this side at a rapid speed.
Immediately afterward, several crossbow arrows were heard popping into the flesh.
The soldiers of the city defense battalion who were about to make a move with sharp blades in their hands fell to the ground one after another, and the blades in their hands were scattered on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, all the people under his command were dealt with by the crossbow arrows fired from the shadows
It's just that at this moment, the scene that was originally full of dangers suddenly became extremely safe.
"What's going on? What the hell is going on? ”
The four princes looked at the end of the edict, and there were several black-clothed people in the darkness, where this faint was moving.
The situation in front of him caught him off guard, and he didn't expect that there were still people in ambush in this edict.
He set his sights on Zhou Yang and the crown prince, who could ambush people here, except for Zhou Yang who was the prince.
"Come on, come on, someone wants to break from prison!"
"Someone!"
Seeing that the people he brought were solved in an instant, the prince planned to let the poor people in the edict solve these people in the name of escaping from prison.
But just as he was shouting loudly, he heard a familiar voice ringing in his ears again.
"Fourth, are you going to mess around like this in front of me?"
Hearing this, the four princes suddenly shuddered, this sentence has been firmly remembered in his heart, every word, every tone, almost every pause he is very familiar with, especially the one who claims to be his father.
For a while, the fourth prince only felt a hot stream of qi and blood rushing to his mind, making his mind blank.
He looked up, looked incredulously at the place where the sound came from, and muttered two words out of his mouth.
"Father's ......"
He knew that the only person who said these words was Emperor Deyuan, and there would be no one else.
At this time, his heart was full of doubts, he didn't know why Emperor Deyuan appeared here, how could the dignified Emperor Wu of Zhou appear in the Imperial Prison?
He would rather believe that the sun came out in the west than that Emperor Deyuan would be in the edict, but now the facts are indeed happening in front of his eyes.
I saw that a prisoner next to the prince slowly stood up, and behind him, two prisoners hurriedly stepped forward to remove the messy clothes and hair on his body for him.
It was Emperor Deyuan, dressed in a dragon robe, with a majestic demeanor, standing there looking at himself.
"Father, why are you here...... Erchen is dealing with the sinner in the assassination of Concubine Xian. ”
The fourth prince knelt on the ground and stammered, but all his actions just now had fallen into the eyes of Emperor Deyuan, and he naturally knew what his son's real purpose was just now.
Emperor Deyuan didn't speak, just looked at the four princes coldly there.
There was a look of hatred in his eyes, but strangely there was no anger or surprise.
I just feel that this son of mine is not angry.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old minister wants to be a witness!"
Just when the atmosphere was extremely solemn, a voice came from the side.
Zheng Tianxiang, who had come directly to relieve himself, suddenly fell to his knees and shouted loudly at Emperor Deyuan.
He had just returned from the brink of death, and he was already sweating profusely, and his legs were still shaking.
If those guards had done it a little later just now, maybe they would have died by now.
"What kind of witness?"
Emperor Deyuan raised his eyelids and glanced at Zheng Tianxiang gently, his eyes full of disgust.
Seeing that he looked like this, he didn't seem to want Zheng Tianxiang to come out and speak at this time.
However, Zheng Tianxiang finally seized such an opportunity, and only by throwing out everything he knew could he save his life.
"Your Majesty, all the accusations made by His Highness Seventh before against the old minister are all true."
"It is indeed the old minister who sent people to kill the assassins in the prison, and it was also the old minister who secretly set the fire and wanted to solve the few bad people who carried out this matter."
"And the few such people who went to His Highness to find are all from the Criminal Department, but the Ministry of Officials urgently erased the names of those people that night."
"Including the assassination of Concubine Xian Niangniang, all these ministers are aware of it."
Zheng Tianxiang almost kept revealing all these things in one breath.
