The palace guards moved quickly, and after a while, a lot of people poured in, so that Dai Luosi and Zhao Lingyu didn't have time to react.

Zhao Lingyu is still quick thinking, at this time she has seen the appearance of the underground person clearly, her heart is frightened, her heart is flashing, she raised her hand and pointed at it, and shouted: "This lewd thief sneaked in to peep, you guys will take it down from the palace!"

Two people came out of the guards, and when they set up the man, they looked at each other and couldn't speak.

Where is this person Hua Lanting, but the Eighth Emperor Hongtu.

Hongtu was angry at this time, and said to Zhao Lingyu: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this matter is a misunderstanding, King Rong Ben will find out and come over to make it clear." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhao Lingyu to answer, and shouted at the two guards: "Don't help this king away quickly, give me a thorough investigation immediately." ”

Hongtu left in embarrassment, but here Zhao Lingyu quit, and said coldly to the leader of the guards who stayed: "You have all seen the matter with your own eyes, either you have given this palace an explanation earlier, or now this palace asks to enter the palace to face the king and ask for an explanation." ”

Such a big event, how dare the head of the guard agree, while laughing and pleading, he led people into the palace to report the situation.

The old emperor Wen Wei had already slept peacefully, and after being alarmed, he was furious when he asked about the situation, but this kind of ugly thing should not be publicized, and it was also related to the relationship between the two countries, so he had to urgently summon the powerful minister to investigate overnight, and there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the palace.

The final result is that the dumb eats Coptis chinensis, and there is bitterness that cannot be said.

Hongtu has a reputation for being lustful and greedy, and it is true that he peeped at the eldest princess bathing in the dark room, but no one in the palace guards shouted to warn and break the wall, indicating that someone was secretly fueling the troubles, causing Hongtu to be arrested and revealed.

This matter is related to the national body, and it is absolutely impossible to admit it, so Wen Wei had to be vague about Zhao Lingyu, saying that Hongtu was kidnapped and victimized, so he collided with the eldest princess and caused a misunderstanding.

Zhao Lingyu's anger was very unrelenting, and in the end, even the queen came forward in person, so that it was not easy to appease him, and promised to remove Hongtu and replace him with the eldest prince Hong.

This matter was controlled within a very small range, but it was a big loss of dignity and dignity, and it was bound to be passive in the subsequent negotiations.

The person who fueled the flames was naturally Hualan Ting.

After he entered the palace at night, he soon found out that the envoy of the Heng Dynasty turned out to be Zhao Lingyu, and there was Dai Luosi by his side, and he couldn't help but be surprised and embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lingyu was so dedicated, and he was not too tired after the envoy to the Huns, and he crossed the mainland to Wenbin.

What is embarrassing is how he has to face the two women and how to destroy the situation of the combination.

Later, the two daughters entered the bath, Hua Lanting unconsciously felt hot in her heart and hot abdomen, although she didn't see each other naked that day, she was also intimate.

Just when he was confused and hesitated in his heart about how to act, he was dozing and someone happened to send a pillow, and he noticed that a person secretly entered the dark room next door, intending to spy on the beautiful woman in the bath.

Hua Lanting was angry from his heart for a while, and evil was born to the side of his guts, and he felt that his head was green for no reason.

Immediately condensed and scrutinized, only to feel that this person's internal strength was vain, not a master, and the dark room was not temporarily opened, but had existed for a long time, and thought of the eight princes who Hongshi said were lustful, he deduced that there was this habit in the palace and was bold to this, daring to do the convenience of the water building, unscrupulous and familiar with the master, eight or nine is not far from ten is undoubtedly Hongtu.

God really help me, Hua Lanting was about to sneak into the dark room to see righteousness and bravery, Hongtu had been poisoned and fell, isn't this just in the middle of it?

So Hua Lanting shouted in a dumb voice and summoned the palace guards, which led to a series of results.

In the next few days, Wen Hui was calm on the surface, but the matter of Hongtu secretly seemed to be walking with long feet, and the replacement of Hongjian confirmed the rumors, but no one dared to discuss it publicly.

On this day, Hua Lanting routinely came to the high wall of the palace of the five princes, and saw the code agreed by the two parties on the wall, knowing that Hongshi was looking for something to do with him, so he sneaked into the palace water pavilion at night.

Seeing Hua Lanting, Hong Shi got up to greet him, and laughed loudly: "Hua Gongzi is really a god, I haven't figured out how to deal with the eighth child here, and the son has already made a final decision. ”

Hua Lanting also smiled: "The prince is well-informed, how do you know that I did it?"

"Haha, who else is there if it's not Engong? Just a few days after the discussion, the eighth child really did a bad errand, and he was unlucky and fell again, tell me how to do it?"

It was about Zhao Lingyu and Dai Luosi, Hua Lanting didn't want to talk more, so he said haha: "Hongtu has done his own evil and dug his own grave, I just happened to meet and pushed the boat down the river, and it seems that God helped the prince to succeed." ”

The five princes were happy to see it, and when they saw that Hua Lanting refused to elaborate, they didn't ask much, so they beckoned Hua Lanting to sit down.

Hua Lanting deliberately diverted the topic and asked, "Seeing that the prince is in a good mood, presumably other actions are also going well, right?"

Hongshi said: "Fortunately, with Xia Zi's help in planning, my subordinates and I acted separately, using both soft and hard, grace and power, and secretly attracted a lot of supporters." ”

"Only most of these people are grass on the wall, and it is okay to wave the flag and shout and beat the side drum in the future, and expect them to take the lead, they neither dare nor have that weight. The key issues are up to us to solve. Also, it's not time for them to contribute. ”

"Oh, what's the prince's next step?"

Hongshi lowered his voice and said: "Of the three stepping stones, Engong has already helped me move one of them, and the rest is naturally for the eldest and third." ”

Hua Lanting frowned: "The eighth prince is out of the game, but the eldest prince takes over, and the alliance between the Heng Dynasty and Wen Wei will still continue." ”

Hong Shi rolled his eyes a few times and said: "As long as this king gains power in the future, the promised cooperation will not be counted." But since Eun Gong has helped me so much, what Eun Gong thinks is my business, and I will find a way to disrupt the negotiations. ”

Hua Lanting nodded, in fact, if you think about it carefully, you haven't done anything wrong, and you don't owe anything, that time she was also forced by the situation and passively protected herself, and the two women were both enemies, but when she thought of dealing with Zhao Lingyu and Dai Luosi, he had a big head, and it was best for Hong Shiken to take it.

So he asked again: "Why did the prince ask me to come over today?

Hongshi said: "I can't rely on Engong to do all my own things. Regarding the eldest prince, I already have some calculations in my heart. ”

"I want to hear about it. ”

Hongshi pondered for a while, slowly sat up straight, looked at the water, and said: "It's not to hide from Engong, but this king is still considering and perfecting, so as to hit with one blow, and also count the destruction of the union between the two countries, but the executor of this plan can talk about it first." ”

"After Engong captured that Panasonic to ride, the Japanese side recently appointed Xia Zi as the acting head to temporarily oversee all the samurai in the territory, so I want to take advantage of this as soon as possible. ”

"The Japanese are ferocious, and it is not a pity to die, but the samurai, especially the ninjas, many of their methods and skills are still very powerful, and their value must be squeezed out by the king. ”

Hua Lanting nodded in agreement, looked at Hongshi and said playfully: "When I first saw the prince, the prince was introverted but had a bad spirit, which was the spirit of a general in the army. ”

"But the state of the prince who is suitable for the water has faintly brought out the spirit of the king, it is really impressive for three days, is this the mentality turned fast or the original hidden deep?"

Hong Shi smiled: "Engong ridiculed this king." ”

"Don't be an old man, I heard it awkwardly, you and I are commensurate and closer. ”

"Well, it's not really thanks to you. I was disgusted with the fight in the palace of officialdom, and I just wanted to be a prince who galloped across the field, and I was provoked by you, but now I have found that the art of war is also applicable to the struggle for power, and I am no stranger to it, and I am beginning to enjoy it. ”

"But then again, once you ascend to the unification, you are called a lonely widow, and you still have responsibilities, how can you be idle and happy. ”

Hua Lanting pouted: "Don't come to this set." You were born in the emperor's family, you are not committed to pretending to be stupid and cute, and you will fight when you are born. If you don't fight, no matter who is in power, you won't be at ease, you don't have to think about it, and the ban and exile are light. ”

"You know the truth that mercy is not in charge of the army. is called a lonely widow, that is because of the emperor's mental skills, not only to be ruthless to himself, but also to everyone outside of himself, a little slack and bow, the crown may fall. ”

Hongshi was silent, his eyes flashed a few times, he didn't answer, and turned to say: "Off topic, let's get down to business." ”

"I can handle the eldest prince, but the third child is both civil and military, and he has won the attention of many powerful ministers. I wouldn't mind grinding him to death if I had enough time, but I can't wait for ...... right now."

Hua Lanting understood and said casually: "This is easy to do." Most of the time, I'm not a snitch and a killer, so I said create a chance for me to make contact. ”

Hongshi said: "There is just about to be an internal martial arts meeting between the prince's subordinates. My dynasty has always emphasized literature over martial arts, and my father asked everyone to recruit talents, widely collect martial arts masters from all over the world, and organize regular martial arts competitions to advocate the style of martial arts. ”

"Two days later, it will be the turn of the third child to sit in the east, as long as you enter the top three, you can take advantage of the opportunity of the third child to give the lottery. ”

Two days later, the martial arts meeting was held in a small colonel military field in the city as scheduled, and the nine princes were all present except for the eighth, and even the eldest prince who had just taken over the negotiations came, saying that Zhao Lingyu, the eldest princess of the Heng Dynasty, heard about it and asked to come and observe.

Hua Lanting was bluffed when he found out, thanks to the fact that he was wearing a mask, otherwise he would be in trouble if he accidentally collided.

Zhao Lingyu attended in casual clothes, while Dai Luosi changed her appearance, concealed the obvious characteristics of a bearded woman, and pretended to be a female official to accompany her.

The eldest prince is quite interested, and the third prince who presided over Hong Ye has a calm face, although the eighth is out, but the person who replaces him is Hongjian instead of him, the meaning is intriguing, no wonder he is unhappy.

In the martial arts competition, Hua Lanting reined in his cultivation and won the third place unsurprisingly.

There was something wrong when the lottery head was awarded, it was not a night, and it was temporarily changed to the distinguished guest Zhao Lingyu to come forward, so that Hua Lanting was both nervous and excited when he received it, and felt a pair of beautiful eyes turn around on him a few times, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhao Lingyu's beautiful and moving face.

Fortunately, Hualan Court sat in a hurry, and saw that several princes were sitting on the Taishi chairs side by side, he took advantage of the excuse to step forward and whisper a few words to Hongshi, and his subordinates exerted their strength to borrow things to pass on their skills, using the chair as a medium.

In the next few days, Hongjian and Zhao Lingyu completed the talks. The night before the official signing of the contract, the old emperor held a banquet in the palace to entertain Zhao Lingyu and his party.

That night, the inside and outside of the palace were heavily guarded, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the outside of the banquet hall was full of imperial forest guards.

The number of people in the palace was not much, because it was nominally a secret visit, only a few princes and important ministers involved participated, except for the thirty forbidden army masters who guarded the old emperor, there were only five people in each entourage.

During the banquet, the old emperor had a sick face and smiled quite reluctantly. In recent days, first his favorite Eighth Emperor Hongtu had an accident, and before he came, he heard that Lao Sanhong had a sudden illness at night, and his whole body was blue and difficult to breathe, and he was helpless to change many imperial doctors, which added to the old emperor's anxious and depressed mood.

The old emperor was in a daze in the direction of Zhao Lingyu at the moment, thinking that he would end it early and go back to the palace to rest, when he suddenly blinked, wondering if he was dazzled, he saw a number of masked black-clothed people sliding down silently on the pillar behind the Heng Dynasty mission, and rushed out like lightning!

"Assassins!

The leader of the forbidden army also realized that something was wrong, and shouted loudly, and the guards drew their swords one after another, and surrounded the old emperor in the middle.

There were more than a dozen black-clothed assassins, and after landing, they did not kill the old emperor, but fiercely rushed towards Zhao Lingyu and his party with a scimitar.

The leader of the forbidden army showed composure and continued to shout: "Defend the emperor, go and call the Imperial Forest Army outside to enter the palace to escort!"

Outside the palace, the Imperial Forest Army had already heard the sound and noticed that something was abnormal, and several teams of men and horses were about to rush in, but they found that the palace gate had been tied from the inside and was hitting the gate together.

Zhao Lingyu counted ten people here, Dai Luosi protected her tightly, and the other eight people had already engaged the assassins.

The assassins were brave, each armed with two scimitars, one long and one short, all in a desperate manner, and in a moment several people on each side fell to the ground with casualties.

The old emperor retreated to the back door in the forbidden army's guards, and Hong Shi had already grabbed a long knife to protect him.

Seeing that Zhao Lingyu was in a critical situation here, the old emperor didn't want the envoy of the Heng Dynasty to have an accident in front of him, so he hurriedly ordered: "Quick, send someone over to rescue quickly." ”

The leader of the forbidden army saw that the Imperial Forest Army had not rushed in yet, he was duty-oriented, how dare he completely obey his orders, and only sent five people to support.

Sure enough, as soon as the five forbidden soldiers joined the battle group, at least twenty masked assassins suddenly appeared under the ground and on the pillars on their side, and the hall was full of smoke, unknown hidden weapons flew indiscriminately, and all the forbidden troops did their best to block around the old emperor, fighting and retreating.

At this time, the Imperial Forest Army finally broke down the door and rushed in, and all of them went straight to the old emperor's side to rescue the driver, and the scene was chaotic.

The guards were valiant, and the Assassins attacked without regard for life and death, and did not retreat when they were wounded, each of them was able to hold back two or three guards, often ending up with their deaths.

Shuangzhi kept people falling to the ground, and just when the situation began to change in favor of Wen Wei's side, in the noisy fighting, no one noticed that around the few people hiding in the corner of the eldest prince Hongjian, there were suddenly more than a dozen people dressed in the color of the Imperial Forest Army.

They suddenly attacked, hula chaotic knife siege, one by one, did not defend themselves at all, after paying the price of eight deaths, three scimitars pierced Hongjian's body at the same time, through the body.

During this period of time, starting from the Eighth Prince Hongtu, the Third Prince Hongye and the Great Prince Hongjian have had accidents one after another!
