Chapter 811 Conspiracy
The King of Huainan smiled and said, "The treacherous minister is so arrogant. If the late emperor knew, I don't know what he would think." His face darkened and he said, "Emperor, Hu Bowen suddenly turned his confession today. It can be seen that Sima Lan is in trouble, and even the Ministry of Justice is at his mercy. In time, will this Great Chu change his surname to Sima?"
Mr. Yuan knew that there must be something big today, so he said anxiously: "Prince, there is a big misunderstanding in this. Prince, you and Duke Zhenguo are both loyal to the country. Should you wait for the case of Hu Bowen to be severely interrogated. Today is a sacrificial ceremony, and it is really not difficult to delay." Governor Lingxu said: "Governor Lingxu, can't find the ritual text?"
The head of Lingxu nodded slightly and did not speak.
Old Secretary Yuan wanted to say something again, and the King of Huainan had raised his hand and said, "The Old Secretary does not need to say much. The treacherous ministers are in power and the country is in danger. If the King of Japan does not remove the treacherous ministers, my Great Chu will never have peace." He shouted sternly: "Li Yuanxin, why don't he capture the rebellious Sima father and son!"
Many ministers present did not know who "Li Yuanxin" was mentioned by the King of Huainan. They were a little confused. However, they saw a person rushing out from under the sacrificial platform, pulling out his sword from his waist, and shouting sternly: "Treacherous ministers and chaos in the country, listen to our military orders, and immediately take down Xiao Zhang, the traitors of the sacrificial platform!" With the order, the guards under the sacrificial platform all raised their spears and faced the sacrificial platform.
The ministers were all shocked, and the King of Huainan changed his expression even more and stared at the shouting person.
The shouting man led a group of soldiers to rush forward and said in a deep voice: "Don't move, sir, Xiao Zhang conspired to rebel, and everyone was punished." He rushed to the high platform with a knife, and pointed the blade forward at Xiao Zhang, the king of Huainan.
The ministers were upset, and the King of Huainan was also stunned, almost thinking that something was wrong with his ears.
Only then did someone realize that "Li Yuanxin" was the captain of the tomb guards, responsible for commanding the 300 tomb guards. Now there are hundreds of tomb guards beside the sacrificial platform, either holding long spears or short swords, which have surrounded the sacrificial platform.
The King of Huainan said angrily: "Li Yuanxin, will you rebel?"
At this time, Qi Ning could understand that the King of Huainan had obviously bribed Li Yuanxin before. After all, the guards guarded the imperial tombs for many years, and almost no one paid attention to them. No one would have deliberately won over these 300 people. It was really not difficult for the King of Huainan to win over a mere tomb-guarding captain.
But the current situation was obviously an accident. The King of Huainan wanted the guards to arrest Sima and his son, but he did not expect that Li Yuanxin would point the blade at himself.
Qi Ning also frowned, and his heart was slightly cold.
He had actually guessed that the King of Huainan had to be prepared for the attack today. Qi Ning was not too surprised, but Li Yuanxin pointed the blade at the King of Huainan, which really surprised Qi Ning. He instantly guessed in his heart that Li Yuanxin was probably bought by the Sima family.
The King of Huainan thought he was able to make up his plan, but instead fell into the trap set by Sima Lan. Sima Lan had already counted the King of Huainan in a quiet manner, and he was really a cunning person.
However, Qi Ning was always on guard against the appearance of Shadow Mouse. The gray crow gave a conclusive clue. Shadow Mouse's target was in the imperial tomb, and it was very likely that he had sneaked into the imperial tomb. He didn't know whether the group of Shadow Mouse was mixed in the crowd or hidden somewhere in the imperial tomb, but looking at the current situation, Shadow Mouse must be carrying a killer move.
The King of Huainan denounced Li Yuanxin for rebelling, but Li Yuanxin smiled disdainfully and said loudly: "King Huainan, the old Duke is a loyal and kind family, and has made great contributions to my great Chu. You claim to be the relative of Emperor Taizu, and have always been dissatisfied with the emperor's ascension to the throne and want to usurp the throne. Today you are going to frame the old Duke, want to get rid of the old Duke, so that you can control the government affairs with sinister intentions. Although I am a lowly young man, I am not too frustrated. How can I be at your mercy and harm the old Duke here." The long sword moved and said sternly: "Emperor, Xiao Zhang is planning to usurp the throne, and his crimes should be punished. Please give an order to kill the rioters and thieves immediately."
The ministers were frightened, no one was a fool. Everyone saw this scene in front of them. Everyone could see that the guard guards who the King of Huainan relied on had now become a knife that hurt them. They felt cold in their hearts. They thought to myself that King of Huainan's plans today were all plotted against by Sima Lan. Sima Lan's methods were really serious.
Under the sunlight, the blade turns cold, and Qi Ning's shadow mixed with shadows in it would suddenly attack. He moved to Longtai and protected him in a quiet voice.
Longtai saw it and was moved. Seeing that the King of Huainan was pale, he frowned and said, "Li Yuanxin, you step down first."
Li Yuanxin had no intention of retreating, but instead took a step forward and whispered: "Emperor, the King of Huainan's intention to rebel is obvious, so you should not let it go lightly. I also ask the emperor to issue an order to kill the traitor." His eyes were full of murderous intent, and his hand holding the knife was even more bulging.
Su Qin was already panicked at this time and said anxiously: "Li Li Yuanxin, the emperor ordered you to retreat. Didn't you hear that you really want to rebel?" He has been very close to the King of Huainan. If he really took down the King of Huainan as a traitor today, then the Su family will be implicated next. Although Su Qin was frightened, he also knew that at this time, people would never be beaten to the King of Huainan as a traitor.
Although Li Yuanxin was just a mere lieutenant, he was murderous at this time and said in a deep voice: "Although the villain is lowly, he also knows how to kill the traitor and Wei State. Even if he is punished for this, as long as he can be loyal to the Great Chu, he will have no regrets even if he dies."
He was righteous and generous, but everyone understood that if someone had not supported him behind his back, Li Yuanxin would not dare to be so presumptuous here even if he had ten courage.
The corners of the Huainan King's eyes twitched, his eyes were like a knife, and he sneered: "Okay, Li Yuanxin, you help the evil and want to die. That's no wonder I am." He shouted suddenly: "I haven't done anything yet, when will I wait?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Ning heard a sound of movement. In just a moment, he saw a figure floating towards Li Yuanxin. Li Yuanxin obviously noticed something, turned his head and looked over, and saw a figure approaching his eyes. Knowing something was wrong, he raised his hand and wanted to wave the knife. At this moment, the light flashed, and a sharp sword had pierced Li Yuanxin's throat like a poisonous snake. Li Yuanxin had no time to react, and the sharp arrow had penetrated his throat.
This incident was very sudden, and the ministers had already seen the figure who suddenly took action, which was a Taoist priest wearing a gray Taoist robe.
Almost at the same time, more than a dozen Taoist priests surrounding the sacrificial platform had taken action at the same time, jumped onto the railings, and several people rushed towards the Sima family and son.
Qi Ning instantly realized that the group of shadow mice had indeed sneaked in, but they were all pretending to be Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain.
Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain all have wide robes and big sleeves. It is not difficult to hide weapons in their wide robes.
These shadow mice were quick and decisive. The three Taoist priests who rushed towards Sima's father and son were extremely coordinated. The tacit understanding of cooperation was very good. Sima Changshen's face darkened, he turned around, kicked backwards, kicked Sima Lan's wheelchair away, and opened the distance from the assassin, but he was already bullying himself, meeting an assassin who was rushing towards him, stumbled his arm, and walked around the assassin's single sword in his hand, slapped the assassin's chest.
His attack was not necessarily fast, and it even gave people a soft feeling, but when the palm touched the assassin's chest, the assassin had already floated backwards and blood squirted wildly.
Li Yuanxin was killed instantly, and the guards under his command were stunned for a moment, but they reacted instantly, shouted loudly, swung their guns and rushed towards the group of Taoists.
The Taoist priests suddenly became in chaos. Most of the Taoist priests looked terrified, but the shadow rats pretending to be Taoist priests were straightforward. Some people went directly to deal with Sima's father and son, while others stopped the guards from rushing over. In a panic, the ministers shouted: "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor."
Qi Ning was right next to the emperor and regulating his internal strength. At this time, he heard the strong wind suddenly rise behind him. He immediately turned around and saw a figure floating towards him. He was as light as a swallow, holding a chain-like weapon in his hand. Qi Ning was afraid that the emperor would make a mistake, so he reached out to pull the little emperor over and turned behind the emperor. At this moment, the chain in the assassin's hand had already attacked.
Qi Ning could see clearly that there was a hook-like thing at the top of the chain, shining with black light, which looked like a scorpion's tail. He felt a stern and wondered if the assassin in front of him was a red scorpion?
The assassin in front of him was wearing a Taoist robe, his face looked pale and not astonishing, but his move was really sharp. He said that it was soon enough. In the blink of an eye, the hook had reached Qi Ning's chest. When Qi Ning saw the hook glowing black light, he knew that there were extremely poisonous coatings on it. With the help of Tang Nuo, he had already used the Youhan Bead to transform blood with all poisons. He was really afraid of the poison. When his feet slipped and his body tilted, he just avoided it.
However, the scorpion hook seemed to have eyes. Qi Ning dodged over. The assassin's hand shook lightly, and the scorpion hook followed and hooked towards Qi Ning again.
Qi Ning took a step, like a ghost, dodged away again, and the hook was hooked in vain. At this moment, he was about to shake his hand, but Qi Ning had already reached out. He had already grabbed the scorpion hook in a flash. For a moment, the assassin's eyes showed joy, but Qi Ning grabbed the scorpion hook, his eyes like a knife, staring at the assassin.
The scorpion hook was pulled on both sides, straight in the middle. Qi Ning held the scorpion hook, and the hands were cold. The whole scorpion hook was shining in the sun, and the black light was shining. At this time, he saw that the assassin was wearing black gloves on his hand holding the scorpion hook. I don’t know what material it was made of, but Qi Ning immediately understood that the man was wearing gloves, which must be for the purpose of preventing the virus.
Sima Changshen injured one person, but the other two assassins rushed to the left and right, making them both single swords and stunning swords. Sima Changshen dodged in a body, but he was also very agile. Many people only realized at this time that Sima Changshen also had extremely skilled martial arts and was not in trouble when encountering enemies.
The King of Huainan had already retreated to the edge of the incense table and stood beside the head of Lingxu. Su Zhen and the Minister of Justice Qian Raoshun hugged their heads and hid under the white marble railing. Old Secretary Yuan looked horrified and stood there in a daze, as if he could not move.
