Chapter 263: Temple Killing

King Shule fell in a pool of blood, and the killer stood in front of the throne, raised the dagger, which was still dripping blood, and flew up with a kick, kicking the eunuch to the bottom of the steps.

At that moment, the hall seemed to be frozen, everyone stood still, and the first person to react was Prime Minister Shi Cheng, who had been waiting for this moment, and did not "take the initiative" to be a hostage as agreed, but hurriedly ran outside the hall.

Fang Wen was the second to be awake, the dragon king executed the worst of the three murder schemes with a knife, but the scholar had no choice, his life was linked to this bloodthirsty killer, and he could only advance and retreat together, so he ran to the throne in a panic.

The eunuch who was kicked to the ground was in a mess in his mind, feeling that someone was running in front of him, hugging the other party's legs, and shouting "escort" in his mouth.

More than ten ministers circled around, screaming like women, all losing their minds, Moyang was dumbfounded, first staring at the killer, then suddenly turned around and pointed at Prime Minister Shi Cheng who was fleeing, "It's you! Prime Minister Shi Cheng killed the king!

Six temple guards rushed in with long axes, and when they heard Moyang's words, they were at a loss for a moment, not knowing which one to attack.

Prime Minister Shi stood in front of the palace gate, grabbing his shirt with one hand and pointing at Moyang with the other, "Jun Shi is the mastermind, kill him!"

The killer was still standing in front of the dead King Shule, holding the murder weapon in his hand, but he only received a short period of attention, and both factions were eager to blame the mastermind of the king's murder on the other party, ignoring the existence of the killer for the time being.

From outside the hall, a group of guards, more than 30 people, armed with scimitars, came in without saying a word, first cut down the axe-wielding guards, and then protected in front of Prime Minister Shi, waiting for his order.

As the scene grew more and more chaotic, the timid minister looked around for a place to hide, and Moyang shouted with all his strength, "Someone!

There was really another group of people rushing into the main hall, and the guards protecting Prime Minister Shi had not yet stood firm, and these people had already taken advantage of the chaos to break in from the gaps, standing under the steps of the throne, holding knives outward, and by the way, they rescued the embarrassed Fang Wenis.

Chu Nanping arrived in time with more than a dozen teenagers, and he threw a narrow knife to the dragon king in front of the throne, holding the long sword himself.

Half of the twenty teenagers dedicated to the Great Snow Mountain were killers that Gu Shenwei had secretly trained for the past two years, and this was the first time they had appeared, some were excited, some were nervous, and some were even trembling.

"Kill the rebels. Prime Minister Shi shouted, his voice trembling a little, but his expression was fierce in cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.

The sword-wielding guards were about to make a move, when there was a sudden deafening sound of drums outside the main hall, and the shouts of brushing and brushing, apparently a large number of men and horses gathered.

Prime Minister Shi Cheng's face changed suddenly, and the guards around him were also at a loss, postponing the attack.

A general in armor strode into the hall, and the soldiers behind him poured in, totaling nearly two hundred, surrounding everyone, "Escort, escort." The general shouted.

As if seeing his parents reborn, the eunuch knelt on the ground and crawled in front of the general, crying: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are one step late, the king has been assassinated." ”

Prime Minister Shi was shocked in his heart, he had obviously sent someone to monitor the prince, just waiting for this side to make a move, and there were assassins on the other side, why would the prince lead troops to break into the main hall? The matter was urgent, and there was no time to think about it, Prime Minister Shi immediately walked to the prince's side, his face full of sadness, "Nephew, the assassin of Daxue Mountain was instructed by Moyang to assassinate Brother Wang. You came just in time, you must avenge Brother Wang. ”

Mo Yang was indignant and trembled all over, "Blood spurts people, the people of the Great Snow Mountain were recommended by you, how could it be that I instructed them?"

"The night before yesterday, you had a secret conversation with the Dragon King of the Great Snow Mountain at Xiaowai Manor, is it fake? I thought you were trying to blackmail a sum of money, but I didn't expect it to be ......" Prime Minister Shi Cheng was extremely engaged, choked up and couldn't speak.

The crown prince held his scimitar and said sharply, "Shut up!" and then glanced at the assassin who was still standing in front of the throne, "Everyone, put down your weapons." ”

The teenagers brought by Gu Shenwei were not calm enough, and put down the narrow knives one by one, only Chu Nanping was still holding the sword.

The crown prince pointed to the guards behind the prime minister, "You are the same." ”

The guards looked at each other, but no one disarmed.

Prime Minister Shi said: "Prince, they are my people, the assassins are strong in martial arts, they can help a lot." ”

The prince was coldly unmoved, and more than two hundred soldiers took a step forward at the same time, Prime Minister Shi Cheng repeatedly calculated in his heart, and glanced back, "Put it down." ”

The guards lowered their scimitars as they were ordered, but looked very hesitant and looked at each other.

In the entire hall, in addition to the prince and the guards, only Gu Shenwei and Chu Nanping were still holding weapons.

"You are the Dragon King of the Great Snow Mountain?" the prince asked in a deep voice.

"It's me. ”

"You have no escape. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Who is the messenger?"

Prime Minister Shi Cheng and Moyang listened at the same time, and the dragon king's words would determine who won and who lost, who lived and who died.

"Castle of Jinpeng. ”

The Dragon King's answer was unexpected by everyone, and even Fang Wen looked back at him suspiciously.

"There are no people from Jinpeng Castle here. The prince said, as a man who had just died of his father, he seemed too calm.

"He is. Gu Shenwei pointed to one of Prime Minister Shi's guards, "Second Young Master Shangguantian, the matter has come to this, show your true colors." ”

The guard panicked, "I'm not. With that, he made a fatal mistake and unconsciously turned his head to the leader for help, hoping for a hint.

This group of guards looked at each other several times, Gu Shenwei had roughly guessed which person was Shangguan Tian, and this gaffe guard just gave the last evidence, this time not only the Dragon King, but everyone else also set their eyes on the unsightly leader.

"Are you sure?" the prince drew his scimitar.

"Sure, Moyang told me. ”

Mo Yang was accused of trumped-up accusations one after another, so angry that he could barely speak, pointed at the Dragon King, and trembled for a while before saying: "You are talking nonsense, I didn't know that Shangguan Tian was here, he and he shouldn't be here, we said okay." ”

"What did you say?" Gu Shenwei immediately asked.

"I ...... You...... What the hell is going on?" Moyang suddenly felt that something was wrong, the Dragon King was too calm, and the Prince was too calm.

"I command you to answer this question. A majestic voice came from behind Gu Shenwei.

King Shule, covered in blood, stood up.

Everyone was frightened, led by the crown prince, the vast majority of people in the hall knelt down, even the soldiers were no exception, only Gu Shenwei stood and did not kneel, let go of the side, Chu Nanping did not kneel, and stood in front of the dragon king.

"Moyang, obey the king's orders. King Shule said, although his clothes were drenched in blood, he still did not lose the spirit of the emperor.

"Yes, Yes, Your Majesty, I ...... I accepted Shangguantian's silver and promised to persuade His Majesty to attack Jinpeng Fort on his behalf. ”

Then things happened so quickly that many people can't even remember what happened afterwards.

The leader of the guards flew out and pounced on the prince not far away, with an extra dagger in his hand.

Chu Nanping acted at the same time as him, the long sword stabbed out, and the two exchanged three or four moves in an instant, and they separated.

Among the more than 30 guards, more than 20 people quickly grabbed scimitars from the ground, and the soldiers with guns and halberds swarmed up, and there was chaos in the hall.

"Escort, escort. The voices came and went, and everyone wanted to rush to the throne, but instead they interfered with each other and became more and more confused.

The crown prince was the first to rush to his father's side, blocking the front and directing the soldiers to fight.

The bloody battle lasted about a quarter of an hour, and by the end of the hall was covered in blood, with dozens of corpses lying on the ground.

"There is no Shangguantian. The soldiers quickly counted the bodies and reported to the king of Shule, "The dragon king is also gone." ”

"Shangguan Tian is here. As he spoke, a human head flew in from outside the main hall, rolled on the ground a few times, and slammed into the corpse before stopping.

Someone recognized this as the leader of the guard, and one of the soldiers grabbed the head, wiped it a few times, wiped off the disguised paint, and showed it to the king and the crown prince.

"Is that him?" asked King Shule.

"Yes. Moyang replied weakly.

As soon as the battle began, Prime Minister Shi Cheng was lying behind the pillar, and then he crawled to the bottom of the throne steps, "Brother Wang, you are not dead, it's great, it's great, it's all thanks to the prince, he saw through Moyang's conspiracy." ”

"Moyang's conspiracy, how could Shangguan Tian and those Jinpeng Castles be your guards?" said King Shule's voice with uncontrollable anger.

"Brother Wang, listen to me, I was framed, I don't know anything, I thought ......"

"Take him down, don't let me see this face again. King Shule said in disgust.

Several soldiers set up the paralyzed Prime Minister Shi Cheng and walked to the outside of the main hall, Prime Minister Shi wanted to ask for mercy, but his mind was in chaos, he didn't understand how the killer designed this scene with King Shule, there were his eyeliner everywhere in the palace, and the details of the guards he gave to the Dragon King were also half-truths and half-truths, and it was absolutely impossible to sneak into the palace quietly.

"Where is the Dragon King?" Not only Prime Minister Shi, but King Shule was also thinking about him.

Fang Wen was protected by Chu Nanping, but he was frightened a lot, he could talk about the war on paper, and the scene of the fight really happened in front of him, but he couldn't stand it a little, but the dream of the strategist supported him, and he stood up in a mess, "The Dragon King has left, and all matters in the Great Snow Mountain are in charge of Zaixia." ”

Although he didn't say it in advance, Fang Wen believed that this was the task given to him by the Dragon King.

"Let's talk to the Imperial Study. When King Shule had finished speaking, he turned and departed, and the eunuch followed closely behind him, like a dog that had just jumped out of the water.

The prince stayed to clean up the mess in the palace, the ministers understood something, and they rushed to him to express their loyalty, the prince pushed away the ministers and said to Moyang: "Shangguan Tian has given you a lot of silver, you can simply take the money home and retire." ”

Moyang understood that he had saved his life, but the power in his hands had been turned to ashes, and he, like Prime Minister Shi, couldn't understand how the little snow bandit leader met the king and the crown prince.

It was the first time that Gu Shenwei had seen King Shule from afar, and he immediately noticed that the king's eyes were green.

Although there are many Hu people in the Western Regions, regardless of the blond and blue-eyed people, green eyes are extremely rare.
