Chapter 10: Killing Opportunities

In the main hall, on the steps in front of the vermilion lacquer pillar, Lei Yuan sat on the gold-carved bench on the side, his eyes scanned the restless people under the steps, and said coldly: "On the night three days ago, the people on duty in Tai'an Palace stood up. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and several waiters stood up timidly.

Lei Yuan said again: "The others can go." ”

Everyone had doubts, but they were still secretly glad that the person standing in front of Lei Yuan at the moment was not them, and when they heard Lei Yuan's words, they couldn't wait to scatter.

The few people left behind trembled, cold sweat on their foreheads, and they waited for Lei Yuan to speak.

Lei Yuan stood up, walked to the front of the group, looked at them with an indifferent expression and said, "How many of you were outside the Tai'an Hall that day?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Lei Yuan said again: "What did you do that day?"

The first attendant from the left pointed to the gray-clothed attendant next to him and said, "I was on guard outside the temple with him that day, and I didn't go back until the hour of the hour." ”

Lei Yuan thought about it, that day and night, he was a white bird who arrived around the time of the day, and if someone followed him, he should also arrive at the time of the day. He shook his head and said, "You two can go." ”

The two hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Highness, the little one will retire." ”

The next few were on duty with them, and they would have left at the same time as the two of them, and they wouldn't have been.

He sent everyone back, sat alone on the bench and pondered, and suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he stood up suddenly: "It's him!"

The feather in the palace still didn't know about Lei Yuan's departure, he sat on the bench in front of the palace, there were many fruit snacks on the stone table in front of him, he didn't seem to even bother to look at it, eager to think about how to frustrate Lei Yuan's sharpness, to repay Lei Yuan's humiliation in the court today.

Someone came to report that the prime minister had arrived.

Yu Yu looked down and said, "Xuan." ”

The prime minister, dressed in a fancy costume, raised his head and followed the waiter with strides.

Yu Yu was bored in his heart, and when he saw the prime minister, he seemed to be in a good mood, so he stood up with a smile, and said enthusiastically: "What's the matter with my father-in-law?"

Zhan Cheng seemed to have forgotten to salute, he strode close to the stone table, looked at Yu Yu and said, "Today's things in the court, but the king sent someone to do it?"

Yu Yu was startled, took two steps back, a smile condensed on his face, and replied after a long time: "I asked someone to do it." ”

Wei Cheng sighed, and said very worriedly: "The king is too risky, now that Lei Yuan is in the royal city, you send someone to assassinate you, what if it happens?"

Yu Yu said stupidly: "It's because he's in the royal city that I have to start quickly, and when he returns to the mountain, what else can I do?"

Wei Cheng shook his head and said, "The king almost caused a catastrophe. ”

Yu Yu was puzzled, stared at Zhen Cheng and said, "What does father-in-law mean by this?"

Wei Cheng said earnestly: "Fortunately, all the people who went to assassinate him last night were killed, and there was no living mouth in his hands, otherwise, as long as he brought people to the court today, the king would become a faint king who assassinated the princes and siblings. Have you forgotten that half of the important ministers and remote tribes in the court are all looking at Lei Yuan, if last night's incident is not handled properly, Lei Yuan will have an accident under the nose of the king city and the king of my demon world, and the first thing everyone suspects is you, the king, if there is a mutiny, my demon clan may be torn apart again. ”

Wei Cheng woke up Yu Yu with a word, Yu Yu thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case, and his face was full of sadness for a while, and he hurriedly said: "Then what should this king do now?"

Wei Cheng pointed to his head and said: "If you want to get rid of a person, it's not just as simple as killing him with your own hands, sometimes, you only need to use your brain, pretending to be the hands of others, maybe it's easier to achieve the goal, your hands are not stained, and your clothes are not stained with dust." ”

Yu Yu listened in a fog and asked, "What does father-in-law mean?"

He said, "The king thinks about it carefully, what is the place near the mountain?"

Yu Yu thought for a while: "It's the Baili clan." Someone told me before that I saw Ziyan's name in the book of reincarnation, which means that the time of the White Bird King in the mortal world is running out. ”

He stroked his goatee and said, "If it is not my race, its heart will be different, the king must keep an eye on it, and he must not trust foreigners too much." ”

Yu Yu was a little surprised, it seemed that all the things he said today, Wei Cheng knew in his heart, how could he even know the matter of the prince of Youdu, he seemed to be clear?

Yu Yu's face did not change, and he kept nodding and echoing: "What my father-in-law said is that this king remembers." ”

Wei Cheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "A few days ago, there was a shark spirit in my house, he said that he came from the mountain, he should know a lot of things on the mountain, the king will not see him, and then think about it in the long run." ”

When Yu Yu heard this, he seemed to come to his senses, he sat up straight and asked, "What about the others?"

Cheng turned around and slapped his palms a few times, and the shark spirit standing not far away heard the sound and walked over with his head bowed.

He stepped forward and saluted, "I have seen the king." ”

Yu Yu saw clearly that the person he was talking about was just a small shark spirit, he turned around a little disappointed, and looked at Cheng Cheng standing beside him suspiciously, Cheng half-squinted his eyes, and nodded at him a few times affirmatively.

Yu Yu had no choice but to turn around, looked at the shark spirit carefully, and asked with some suspicion: "You are the one from the mountain that the prime minister said?"

The shark spirit showed a mouthful of jagged teeth and said with a smile: "Back to the king, exactly." ”

Yu Yu frowned slightly, looked at the pastry in front of the stone table casually and asked, "Then you say, what do you know?"

The mermaid nodded again and again, and said with a serious matter: "When the little one was cultivating at the foot of the Baili Clan, there was a woman from the God Realm who cured the flood of the Baili Clan. ”

Yu Yu raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashed, and asked, "What kind of woman?"

The mermaid carefully observed Yu Yu's expression, and said carefully: "She is a woman of the Golden Crow clan, her cultivation is very high, and she has a fire spirit bead in her hand to protect her body, it is said that her status in the god realm is not low, and she is still the righteous daughter of the Emperor of Heaven." ”

Yu Yu put his hand on his chin, thought for a long time, and asked, "What else?"

The shark spirit thought of the words he overheard in the Lei Yuan dormitory before he left the mountain, and said, "Also, the White Bird King died suddenly a few days ago, and before he died, His Royal Highness seemed to have been to the White Bird Clan. ”

As soon as the mermaid's voice fell, a smile quickly spread on Yu Yu's face.

The shark spirit looked at the cloudy and uncertain Yu in front of him, and sighed in his heart, sure enough, this Yu Yu is worthy of Lei Yuan's own brother, the two of them are exactly the same, and the royal family of the demon clan is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

As if he had laughed enough, he stared at the mermaid with a sharp gaze and asked, "Is there anything else you haven't said?"

The mermaid shook his head: "The little one knows, there are only so many." ”

Yu Yu didn't speak again, and the Cheng on the side stepped forward and said, "Okay, it's none of your business, you can go down." ”

The shark spirit retreated as he said.

Cheng looked at Yu Yu's expression and asked, "What is the king thinking now?"

Yu Yu smiled: "My father-in-law is right, Lei Yuan and I are now on the same page, among us, only one person can live, those who cling to Lei Yuan are my enemies of Yu Yu, I don't need to show mercy to them." Since the Divine Realm has sent someone to Baili, it also has the intention of monitoring Lei Yuan, we will make some fuss about the Baili clan and that goddess, and push the death of the Baili King onto Lei Yuan, and someone in the Divine Realm will naturally help us clean him up. ”

Cheng Cheng seemed to agree with Yu Yu's words, and nodded again and again: "Yes, in this way, the king can enjoy the benefits without spending a single soldier." ”

Yu Yu stood up and saluted to Cheng Cheng and said, "If my father-in-law has a vision, I will send someone to the divine realm to deliver a message." ”

Wei Cheng hurriedly stopped: "The king doesn't need to worry, the God Realm is now at odds with us, send our people, they are afraid that they will doubt our motives, these words, only if the people of the God Realm say it, the Emperor of Heaven will believe it!"

Seeing that Yu Yu was thinking about Zhou Xiang sincerely, he said happily: "Father-in-law is right, this matter will be handled by father-in-law." ”

Wei Cheng bowed and said lightly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, just stay in the palace and wait for my good news." ”

Cheng walked out of the palace slowly, and saw that the mermaid was still waiting under the stone steps in front of the palace gate, and walked over slowly.

When the shark saw Qiancheng, he hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "I've seen the prime minister." ”

Wei Cheng glanced at the shark spirit lightly and said, "Why are you still here?"

The shark spirit said a little sneeringly: "Dare to ask the prime minister, the king listened to what I said, did he say anything?"

Wei Cheng sneered, and glanced at the mermaid with disdain: "The king did say that after I returned to the house, I would reward you well, what reward do you want?"

The mermaid was overjoyed and said humbly: "The little one doesn't want any reward, he just wants to serve you by the prime minister's side." ”

Wei Cheng stopped and said with a smile: "In this year, it is rare to have someone as reasonable as you. You are a sensible person, follow me in the future, and I will not lose you. ”

The shark spirit hurriedly said: "Thank you, Prime Minister." ”

Wei Cheng said with some embarrassment: "However, there is one thing you should also know, the one on the mountain has always been the king's heart disease, although you have made great contributions this time, but because you are also from the mountain, the king is always uneasy, if he has doubts in his heart, then you have no place in the king's city." ”

The shark spirit was frightened and hurriedly said: "Please also ask the prime minister to teach him." ”

He said: "The king has an important matter now, if you do it well, the king will be suspicious, are you afraid that there will be no day when you will come out?"

The shark spirit thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Prime Minister, please speak." ”

Zhen Cheng said: "You go to the Baili Clan, find the woman in the God Realm, tell her that the death of the Baili King was the work of Lei Yuan, and try to get her to tell the Emperor of Heaven about this matter." ”

When the shark Jing heard it, he didn't ask him to go to the knife mountain and go to the oil pot, but he was just running errands, and he would be able to pretend to be a good person again, so he readily agreed: "Don't worry, the prime minister, the little one will go." ”

Wei Cheng watched the mermaid spirit leave, and the corners of his mouth twitched with a sneer of disdain: "The world is crowded, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit." ”

Oriole

Yaojuan walked through the bluestone road, but found that the road was several times longer than before, and it was a long time before she walked from the bamboo house to the main hall where everyone paid tribute to the white bird king.

Everyone in the hall was dressed in linen and filial piety, and their expressions were committed, and when they saw Yaojiao, they saluted one after another. Yaohuan glanced at them lightly, walked through the middle, she walked to Xuan Xuan's side and stood still, glanced at Xuanxuan who had no spirit with her afterglow, turned to look at everyone in the hall, and cleared her throat: "Everyone." ”

When everyone heard this, they raised their heads and looked at her, Yaojuan didn't care about the expressions on everyone's faces, and she didn't care about everyone's thoughts, and continued: "Everyone, I am the goddess of the divine realm, and I have to grant the will of heaven to come to Baili, the king of Baili is now deceased, and Baili cannot be without an owner for a day, I declare in the name of the high priest that Prince Xuanxuan will ascend the throne in front of the plane today, as the twelfth king of Baili, I hope you will uphold the will of your ancestors and do your best to assist the new king." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "Congratulations on the new king's accession to the throne!"

Xuan Xuan was slightly stunned, turned around to look at Yaojuan, and then slowly stood up and said: "My father has not long gone, and now I just want to organize his funeral and fulfill the responsibility of the son of man. ”

Yaowan lowered her head and said, "The king is polite." ”

Yaojuan was about to leave, when she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind her, she turned around, and saw a guard in a plain suit trotting in, and before she could even salute, she said to Xuan Xuan with a nervous expression: "Urgent report, Wang Shuziyan came to mourn." ”

Xuan Xuan didn't react, and said lightly: "Hurry up and invite Uncle Wang in." ”

The guard shook his head with an uneasy expression and said, "Uncle Wang Ziyan came with heavy troops, and he has reached the foot of the mountain at this time. ”

Xuan Xuan was taken aback, and said in a deep voice, "What did you just say?"

The guards said in a voice that could be heard clearly in every corner of the palace: "Back to the king, Wang Shuziyan has rebelled, and the rebels have reached the foot of the mountain, and they are only a few feet away from Baili. ”

During the banquet, everyone was shocked, stood up and fled, got up slowly, and was trampled several times, everyone was in a hurry to run, and the hall was in chaos in an instant.

Yao's heart is not good, the news of the death of the white bird king has spread everywhere, the hearts of the tribes are different, Xuan Xuan is still young, there is no shortage of people with different intentions to take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, at this time there are only a few hundred people in the clan available, it is not easy to resist the rebels outside the village, but at this time she has no half of the spiritual power, and Qin Biao is not in the white bird, what can I do?

Most of the people in the palace are princes and nobles who are powerless, not to mention resisting the enemy, I am afraid that they don't even have the ability to protect themselves.

When everyone heard the news, they were all frightened, and they all looked at Xuan Xuan and Yao Jiao.

Xuan Xuan stared for a moment, tore off the plain clothes on his body, and walked outside the main hall: "Come on, gather the army, and resist foreign enemies." ”

At this time, everyone was watching her, and she must not mess with herself. Yaohuan tried her best to calm herself, turned around and instructed everyone: "You all stay in the temple, don't run around, I'll go out and have a look." ”

Xuan Xuan paused and waited sideways for Yao Juan to follow before leaving the hall together.

Outside the hall, many guards guarding the hall had gathered, and when they saw Xuan Xuan and Yao Jia, they saluted one after another.

Xuan Xuan stood on the high platform outside the hall, took the long sword handed over by the soldier, and said loudly: "Wang Shuziyan plotted a rebellion during the funeral of the first king, and according to the law of his own clan, he should be beheaded!"

Everyone said in unison: "Swear to follow the king to the death and take the head of Ziyan!"

Xuan Ying shouted: "Let's go!"

The crowd followed him in a procession.

Every two or three steps in front of the bamboo fence, there is a soldier holding a shield, armor, gun and halberd, which encloses the village tightly, the gate of the village is closed, and the two sides are temporary high platforms for the convenience of watching the battle.

Yaowan followed Xuanxuan to the high platform on the right-hand side.

The rebels were only a hundred steps away from them.

Xuan Xuan held on to the high platform, looked at the black and thin man in front of the enemy army on the opposite side and shouted, "Uncle Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time." Uncle Wang came to mourn my father, why did he wear armor and bring so many people?"

Zi Yance stepped forward immediately and responded: "Nephew Xuanxuan, the Ming people don't say dark words, I brought thousands of soldiers and horses this time, not to mourn your father." Now that Brother Wang is gone, the Baili has no owner, and I will hand over this huge Baili clan to you a baby who is still underage, not to mention me, and the rest of the tribes will not willingly submit to you. This throne, you still have to have the right people to sit so that there will be no chaos, you only have a few hundred people here, you can't beat me, if you surrender obediently, and give up the fragments of the Silk Yuan and the throne, then everything is easy to say. ”

Yaohuan asked in a low voice, "What is the fragment of the Silk Yuan?"

Xuan Ying replied: "The holy relics handed down from the royal family are mandated by heaven, and only its holder can be the king of his own clan. Xuan Xuan paused, frowned, and said, "Then what if I don't let it?"

Ziyan snorted coldly: "I have said all my good words, if you are still obsessed, then don't blame me for ignoring blood and family affection." His face changed in an instant, and he turned around and ordered: "Come on, attack it!"

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers and horses did not move, but Ziyan rolled down from the horse.

Everyone's faces changed, and when they took a closer look, they saw a white feather arrow stuck straight in Ziyan's chest.

Yaowan turned her head, only to see Xuanyu standing on her left, looking at Ziyan with a curved bow in her hand and sneering.

Xuan Xuan was shocked, looked at Xuan Yu and shouted, "Xuan Yu, go back quickly!"

Ziyan was covered in dust, very embarrassed, his face was blue, he reached out to cover his chest, gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow with his other hand, the blood from the wound splashed everywhere, dyeing the armor on his body, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, and he looked at Xuanyu not far away angrily and shouted: "What are you still stunned about? Attack and capture that kid alive, I will kill him with my own hands!"

Xuanyu's face did not change, he calmly pulled out the arrow from the quiver behind him, put it on the bow, only to hear a whoosh, the arrow grazed Ziyan's face and flew over, and landed firmly on the ground.

A blood mark appeared on Ziyan's face, and his whole face changed color, he raised his hand to touch it, and there was blood everywhere in his tentacles, and he didn't care about the pain, so he hurriedly struggled to stand up, and shouted in a panic: "Come on, shield array!"

The soldiers holding the shield armor stepped forward and surrounded Ziyan tightly, leaving no gap in the middle of the shield armor.
