Chapter 62: The Assassin
The queen regretted a little, she didn't know that the prize this time turned out to be the Chongming Sword. She knows very well that the Chongming sword is a sword that only kings of the past generations are qualified to use, could it be that this prince's martial arts competition is to establish a prince?
After the eunuch read out the rules, Bu Yu said again: "Let me change the rules that Gonggong Liu read out just now, winning or losing this time is not necessarily based on whose martial arts are high, all the evaluation criteria are in my heart!"
The queen leaned into Bu Yu's ear and said, "Your Majesty, you obviously know that Chen'er is injured, how can you be the opponent of his seven elder brothers?"
Bu Yu took the arm of the queen and said: "Queen, I didn't say it, this time the judging criterion is not to win or lose, but to see how they behave!"
"But Chen'er is injured, and he will suffer!"
"The queen doesn't have to worry, this time it's all wooden swords, and Chen'er won't be hurt!"
Although Bu Yu said this, the queen still didn't feel at ease, just imagine that the mother didn't want her child to be well? But Bu Yu had already said it to such an extent, and the queen was not good at what to say, and now she was very remorseful in her heart!
The queen originally planned to beat Buchen, and today's prince competition Buchen didn't need to participate, but Weicheng didn't expect that the prize turned out to be a Chongming sword, and it was really a handful of rice that could not be stolen!
Buchen moved his shoulder, and he was surprised to find that his back didn't feel any pain! Buchen said to himself: "The medicine given by the eldest brother is really good! In just one night, the wounds on my body have been cured! I can't find such medicine in the entire palace!"
The queen looked at Buchen, her eyes were full of worry, she was afraid that Buchen would have an accident in the competition. If Buchen had any accident because of the injury on his back, she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life!
In this competition, the most unconvincing is the second prince Buhong. Because in his opinion, his eldest brother died, and he should be made the prince according to his age, but Bu Yu was already in office and refused to make the prince, and the matter was delayed again and again. In recent days, he saw that Bu Chen had dealt with the hatred of the previous dynasty again, and then Bu Yu made this again. Bu Hong is a smart and suspicious person, he saw that the two things were so close in love, so he thought about whether Bu Yu took the opportunity to establish Bu Chen as the prince!
Bu Hong has long regarded Buchen as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh! Because he felt that his father, Emperor Buyu, only loved Buchen and the queen, so he had to make an accident in this competition and dispose of Buchen.
Bu Hong was not worried at all that he would not be able to draw Bu Chen, because the eunuch in charge of the lottery box had already bought him out, which means that the competition between Bu Chen and Bu Hong was inevitable.
At this time, Buchen didn't feel the danger, he once thought that his second brother was the best one among many brothers! He didn't know that this best brother was going to kill him!
The eunuch read out the first competition, which was the fourth prince Bujun and the seventh prince Buqing.
Bu Jun and Bu Qing walked to the middle of the stage and saluted each other.
The Seventh Prince, Bu Qing, clenched his fists and bent down and said: "Fourth brother, he once governed the barbarian land, and he must have been very good at kung fu, and I hope that the fourth brother will show mercy!"
The fourth prince Bujun also hurriedly replied: "The seventh brother has a good reputation, and the seventh brother's swordsmanship is rarely rivaled in the entire palace!"
After the two touted each other for a while, they began to compete, and both of them did their best, but neither side had an obvious point to attack the other!
You go back and forth, Bu Jun and Bu Qing have fought back and forth for dozens of rounds, and they still don't know the winner.
After a hundred rounds, Bu Qing slowly gained the upper hand, and the most popular thing was that Bu Qing looked back at the moon with a move and pointed at Bu Jun's throat with his sword.
Seeing this, Bu Yu stood up directly, applauded and said: "The competition between Jun'er and Qing'er is quite exciting! ”
All the princes said one after another: "The sons and daughters must obey the teachings of the emperor!"
After Bu Yu finished speaking, the eunuch began to read out the results.
"The Seventh Prince Buqing wins, and enters the next round of selection! Next, we will invite the second group of princes to compete on stage!"
The eunuch looked at the note in his hand and said, "Next, please invite the second prince Buhong and the ninth prince Buchen to compete!"
Like Bu Jun, Bu Hong also boasted about Bu Chen after he came to power.
The second prince Buhong said: "I heard that two days ago, the ninth brother just solved the feud of the prince of the previous dynasty, which can be described as a miracle, and the second brother is here to congratulate the ninth brother!"
"Brother Huang is serious, I just did my duty as a prince. On the other hand, the imperial brother began to fight and kill the enemy at my age, which is incomparable to me!"
Yes, Bu Hong went to the border to kill the enemy at the age of seventeen, and not only killed the enemy bravely, but also was able to share weal and woe with the soldiers, which is really difficult and valuable, and it is precisely like this, Bu Hong is deeply loved by the soldiers!
Bu Hong did not change his mind because of Bu Chen's praise, on the contrary, he was thinking about how to get rid of Bu Chen justifiably.
Bu Hong said: "Ninth brother, they all say that swords have no eyes, and most of the kung fu I have learned is a move to kill the enemy at the border, if there is anything wrong with my brother, please forgive me for it!"
Buchen is the kind of person who is very simple and simple, he does not have a strong killing intent, and said: "Second brother doesn't have to show mercy, I am no longer the little boy who can only cry his nose, I have grown into a man now!"
Bu Hong smirked and said, "Okay, then let the second brother see if the ninth brother's hand has improved!" After speaking, Bu Hong pointed his sword at Bu Chen.
Buchen said: "Second brother, if the ninth brother does something wrong, please ask the second brother Haihan!" After speaking, Buchen also pointed his sword at Bu Hong.
Bu Hong is relative to Bu Qing and Bu Jun, and there are not so many bells and whistles in his moves, but every time he slashes, he uses all his strength, and his strength is extremely domineering, which shocks Bu Chen's hands and makes him numb!
The reason why Bu Yu used the Chongming Sword as a prize may be because he wanted to try how his eight sons were doing, and whether they were suitable to be emperors!
Bu Yu likes his youngest son Buchen very much, but the matter of establishing a prince is not trivial, and he accidentally loses everything, and he doesn't want to meet his ancestors in the form of a faint monarch.
Bu Yu was not on a whim, he had premeditated, because he could feel that the byte body was getting worse day by day, and he was responsible for this country and the ancestors, so he had to choose an excellent king.
Bu Hong didn't expect that the prize this time turned out to be Chongming Sword, he thought that his martial arts were the most powerful among the middle brothers, because after all, he was the only one who had been on the battlefield, killed the enemy with real swords and guns, and was also the only prince who had ever killed someone.
Bu Hong's figure is the most burly among the many princes, and although he is wearing clothes, he can still see his tendons and flesh.
Buchen knows that he is not Bu Hong's opponent, but he has a special liking for Chongming Sword! Buchen likes Chongming Sword and others like it differently, Buchen is not greedy for the throne, but when he gets Chongming Sword, he can clearly feel a feeling of being lost for a long time!
When this test bench was being built, Bu Hong moved a little bit. It is precisely because of this that Bu Hong was able to let Bu Chen die justifiably.
Bu Chen struggled against Bu Hong, but he didn't know that Bu Hong at this time had not used all his strength at all.
When the position arrived, Bu Hong swung his sword hard, but Bu Chen couldn't dodge, so he could only fight to take the blow. Without waiting for Buchen to react, Bu Hong jumped again, jumped into the air, and took advantage of a slash to slash at Buchen.
Bu Chen held the sword in his hand tightly with both hands, and then blocked the sword that Bu Hong had chopped down. This time, Bu Hong used all the strength of his body, and the wooden sword on Bu Chen's shoulder was deeply embedded in Bu Hong's sword, and Bu Chen also felt the strength of a thousand catties. With Buchen's thin back, how could he take such a sword?
Bu Chen suddenly knelt on one knee on the floor, Bu Hong smiled evilly, and said in his heart: "Ninth brother, you are to blame for all this, don't blame the second brother and me when you get there!"
Bu Hong stepped on the floor under his feet again, and then pulled out a crack appeared under his feet, and before Bu Chen could react, he fell down himself!
Bu Hong took the opportunity to make a look of not catching Bu Chen, and shouted loudly: "Ninth brother!"
Underneath this platform, there is a snake that has no venomous poison. Although the snake itself is not poisonous, its scales are full of poison. This poison is called Fu Ji San, which is extremely volatile, and as long as it comes into contact with blood, you can see blood seal the throat. What's even more bizarre is that even if the imperial doctor conducts an autopsy, he will not find any clues, and he can't even find the cause of Buchen's death. It is precisely because of this that Bu Hong has no fear!
Bu Hong knelt on the edge of the platform, one hand stretched down, while quietly watching the snake bite Bu Chen.
Just as Buchen was about to hit the ground, a black shadow suddenly flashed into the hole.
In fact, Jingchuan has not left, and when he was about to leave, he heard the eunuchs in the palace discussing the prince's martial arts competition. Jing Chuan was afraid that Yi Buchen's character would suffer, and he was even more afraid that other princes would be unfavorable to him, so he hid in a place and watched all this quietly.
Jing Chuan grabbed Buchen's clothes with his left hand, and held the candle dragon sword in his right hand, and when he was about to land, the snake also happened to bite over. Jing Chuan raised his sword and slashed the snake's head with a sword.
After encountering the snake's blood, the snake's blood instantly turned black and coagulated, and the snake's wound and snake meat began to slowly begin to rot!
All this happened to be seen by Bu Hong, who was afraid that it would affect him, so he quickly knelt on the ground and said: "Father, the son deserves to die, and accidentally injured the ninth brother!"
Although Buchen didn't pay attention, Jing Chuan saw everything in his eyes, and he grabbed Buchen and jumped out.
Jing Chuan turned to Buchen and said, "Second brother, you dodge first! No matter what happens for a while, don't move!" Buchen was also very obedient and took a few steps back.
Jing Chuan raised his sword and stabbed at Bu Hong, who instinctively struggled to block the sword stabbed by Jing Chuan. But how could Bu Hong be Jing Chuan's opponent, and he trampled Bu Hong under his feet with just one move.
Seeing this, many guards drew their swords one after another and slashed towards Jingchuan.
