Chapter 85: The Poison Ploy (2nd Update)
Huaiyang Hou quietly waited for the reaction in the room.
No response.
The dim candle flame was still fluttering back and forth.
There seemed to be a figure in the room standing up, approaching the window, and finally approaching the window paper, leaving a vague and simple figure.
As soon as the man got up and the vague figure that stood up was reflected on the window paper, the musician subconsciously stopped playing, and the joy of great joy came to an abrupt end.
Gu Shengcheng stood behind the window, he didn't say a word, he was silent for a moment.
Everyone subconsciously looked at him.
This man does have such magic.
When a person walks to a certain pinnacle in the world, his every move, every line and every move seems to carry an obsessive magic.
Even silence is true.
Such a dead silence made the entire city lord's mansion so quiet that it could be heard.
In the big sedan chair, Huaiyang Hou, who was originally calm and unhurried, began to ooze cold sweat slightly on his forehead, and he tried to control his breathing, so as not to let that person hear his suppressed and urgent emotions.
Gu Shengcheng finally spoke.
"Stand down. β
This sentence is said to Tuo Lei and Fei Chang.
It is also said to all the demons present.
Even if they were extremely unwilling, they still obediently did so.
Everyone accepted the sword weapon that they had pulled out of their sheaths, and for a while, the sound of collecting swords and swords in the city lord's mansion came and went, and it was like water.
The sword light reflected the middle-aged man in the sedan chair, and his eyebrows were pale.
"Wow".
The big sedan chair collapsed suddenly, and no one saw what was going on, and the screams of Huaiyang Hou came desolately.
The two long swords flew out with sheaths, uncontrolled, and instantly chiseled through the huge sedan chair, penetrated the thick clothes under the ribs on the left and right sides of the Huaiyang Marquis, shot the sedan chair apart, and swept out his whole person with a slide, swept out several zhang in a row, and finally nailed it heavily to the wall of the iron gate of the city lord's mansion, and chiseled out two cobwebs.
The swords on the waists of Tuo Lei and Fei Chang were empty.
The two men looked back and saw the candle flame flickering in the room.
Gu Shengcheng, who was standing by the window, slowly withdrew his raised sleeve.
He said seriously: "Huaiyang Hou, you should know that I am here to negotiate peacefully. β
Dead.
No one dared to speak.
Huaiyang Hou, who was nailed through his double-ribbed jacket by two long swords, was pale and frightened, watching the two long swords nail himself into the wall, and he was helpless.
The strength control of these two swords has reached an unbelievable level, and a slight deviation can penetrate one's own organs.
Huaiyang Hou didn't know how to practice, but he knew that even if the vitality of a top nine-rank master was out of his body, it was impossible to do this so easily at such a distance.
Gu Shengcheng's cold voice continued to come.
"You seem to be scared and confused...... It doesn't matter, I'll give you a clear up. β
The man who was separated by a layer of window paper, his voice was soft, and he said slowly: "I came here in Lujia Town, it doesn't matter who comes to see me, whether it's you, or the king of Xining, these ...... It's all unimportant. β
"All I want is peace. β
"So what I want to see is not any one person, but the will from Lanling City. β
"You should also know very well that the emperor of Qi Liang himself can't come in person, so all of you ...... They all speak for him. β
"And all I want is a word from him. β
His words, out of Lanling City, will not be changed. The man standing by the window said calmly: "And the mission of Lanling City, with his words, has already set off." β
Gu Shengcheng laughed at himself and said: "If he doesn't agree, why do you have to talk to me? What he wants to do is just to expose me." β
He said in a gloomy tone and asked, "Now that the ending has been decided." You are a clown who jumps off the beam, and now you are jumping in front of my eyes, constantly provoking, if I kill you, will it really affect anything?"
Huaiyang Hou was nailed to the wall by two flying swords, his height was not high, these two flying swords set him up in a strange posture, he could only pat his feet slightly, absurd and funny.
He lowered his eyebrows, and his two thick eyebrows were slightly pulled, looking sad.
Actually, he was thinking very seriously.
He was thinking that his big sedan chair set off from Huaiyang Road in advance, and it took three days to rush to Lujia Town under the Fengsui line, in order to wait for the fulfillment of something.
And before he set off, Gu Shengcheng hadn't crossed the beacon yet.
Now he's caught up.
Something that seemed impossible to guess before, has really happened.
He thought about what the adult had said to him.
Isn't this the will of Lanling City?
Therefore, Huaiyang Hou firmly believed...... His Majesty's approach is undesirable.
This war must not be tolerated, and this negotiation must not be peaceful.
Under the beacon, in front of the terracotta, so many soldiers can't just die in vain.
So here he comes.
And then, as the lord said...... Gu Shengcheng also came.
Gu Shengcheng wants peace, and His Majesty will give him peace.
What Gu Shengcheng just said is very right, not bad at all.
His Majesty's mission has already set off from Lanling City, with His Majesty's will, as long as it arrives in Lujia Town, then this negotiation will be completed.
It's just that this process will be a little "slower".
Huaiyang Hou took a deep breath.
He thought of what the adult had said to himself.
"When something great is going through a difficult push, it needs some blood to irrigate. At this time, death and sacrifice are fearless and glorious. β
This is indeed a great thing.
So he was willing to die.
Huaiyang Hou's train of thought returned to what Gu Shengcheng said.
If the ending is doomed, then Gu Shengcheng killing himself, will it really affect anything?
He let out a quick breath.
Then he said with difficulty: "Actually...... Yes. β
Gu Shengcheng outside the window did not speak.
Huaiyang Hou, who was nailed to the wall by two flying swords, looked like a fat man dancing a strange dance at the moment, and his movements were fixed in the scene of jumping on his toes.
He shook his eyebrows and said with a soft smile, "If you don't believe it...... You, kill me?"
Gu Shengcheng frowned, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.
The fat man seemed to have bitten something hidden under his tongue, and blood slowly spilled from his lips and teeth.
Then he stretched out a hand with difficulty, pointed at himself, and said with a smile: "You don't dare to kill me?"
"But I dare. β
His face grew paler, but his eyes sparkled.
"King of Xining...... It's coming soon. β
Huaiyang Hou coughed a few times and asked weakly, "I wonder if he will change something when he sees this scene?"
Blood began to ooze from his forehead, red blood from his thick jacket, and his cough grew louder and louder until it became more violent, and finally came to an abrupt end.
Beneath the two flying swords, the man nailed to the wall.
After ten breaths, it turned into a bloody man.
He's dead.
Gu Shengcheng became short of breath.
Just after the Marquis of Huaiyang committed suicide, in the city lord's mansion, three hundred musicians, maids, and eyebrows all overflowed with blood to varying degrees, and in just a few breaths, there were dead bodies everywhere.
What a ploy this is?
Outside Lujia Town, there was the sound of drumming, and some people shouted.
"The king of Xining has come to thisβ"
