I, make my own

Chapter 26 The Three Kings, the Ever-changing Witch Shang Kewan

At the first moment, it was the last darkness before dawn.

Xinwangfu.

In a heavily guarded hall, there are four figures discussing something seriously.

One of these four people was well-built, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked a little familiar, but he was Zhao Dongchang, the director of the Jing'an Division.

As for the other three people, one is a young man, one is a middle-aged man, and one is an old man, and they all wear clothes that symbolize the status of a prince.

Among them, the young man was about 25 six years old, named Zhou He, the sixth son of the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the current King He, and a popular candidate for the position of the prince.

The middle-aged 40-year-old, named Zhou Nuo, is the second son of the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the current King Xin, and a contender for the throne who was once second only to Zhou Lan.

As for the old man, his name is Zhou Yunhan, he is the seventh younger brother of the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the current King Han, and the most powerful person among the princes of the previous generation.

Before the new emperor came to the throne, they were divided into factions, and there were many open and secret struggles among them.

However, after the new emperor came to the throne and the [-] rebellion case, the three parties had to join hands to fight against the other two powerful factions to avoid being divided and encroached.

Although the combination of the three parties is still not comparable to any major faction, the two parties dare not move lightly, because if they are pressed for time, the faction of the Three Kings may fall into the arms of the other faction.

In this way, a tripartite confrontation has also been formed, which has continued to this day in a delicate and fragile balance.

However, tonight's mutation has obviously broken this balance...

"Xin Wang, what happened? Which party wants to usurp the throne?"

King Han Zhou Yunhan stared at Zhou Nuo, with a serious expression filled with anxiety and suspicion.

In fact, he and Zhou He had just arrived, and they were still a little confused about the murderous intent pervading the imperial capital.

"Uncle Wang, Brother Wang."

Zhou Nuo bowed to Zhou Yunhan, then nodded to Zhou He, sighed slightly, and glanced at Zhao Dongchang.

"Brother Zhao, tell me."

"I dare not be called a prince like that."

Zhao Dongchang clasped his fists at Zhou Nuo with a little panic, and then he collected himself, and then spoke eloquently.

"Three lords, the cause of the chaos tonight lies in one person - Princess Wei and Wang Xihe."

"Princess Wei suddenly left the palace in the middle of the night for some reason. Judging from her travel route, it should be that she wanted to go to her younger brother's residence. However, she was ambushed on the way and all the guards were killed."

"More importantly, judging from the traces at the scene and the remaining fragments of Princess Wei's robe and undergarment, she is likely to be offended on the spot..."

"While cleaning up the battlefield, someone discovered the token and exclusive mark of the Dark Scale Guard, King Wei was furious because of this, and this led to the chaos tonight."

Hearing Zhao Dongchang's narration, Zhou Yunhan frowned slightly, and Zhou He even shook his head.

"It doesn't sound right. If the ambushers were really the Darkscale Guards, wouldn't they not clean up the traces and evidence when they left? It's obvious that someone is playing tricks in the dark!"

"But the point is, Wei Wang lost his mind in anger, and he didn't want to pay attention to this at all."

Zhao Dongchang shook his head with a complicated expression.

"Furthermore, I have had people verify that there are indeed eight people in the corpses who are members of the Darkscale Guard."

Zhou Yunhan squinted his eyes, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "It's a bit strange for Princess Wei to leave the palace suddenly in the middle of the night, and she was ambushed as soon as she went out, which is not reasonable."

"You said, could this be a scene directed and acted by Wei Wang himself?"

Hearing this sentence, the other three were stunned.

Zhou He's eyes flickered, and he developed rich associations.

"It's not impossible. If this is the case, then King Wei's attack tonight has been planned for a long time!"

However, Zhao Dongchang disagreed.

"It shouldn't be possible. If King Wei had really planned for a long time, then he shouldn't have failed."

"Huh? Failed?"

Zhou Yunhan was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression became relieved.

Although the specifics are still unclear, as long as King Wei does not succeed in usurping the throne, their situation will not be too bad, and there is still hope of fighting for the throne.

"good."

Zhao Dongchang nodded and began to continue talking.

"It's not clear what's going on at the Imperial Army's side, but at the General's Mansion, when King Wei was about to succeed, the Ti cavalry guards under Zhijin Wu's command suddenly rushed out. The people who killed the horses will be fucked."

"As for whether King Wei was killed or captured, it is still unclear."

"In addition, the Tiger's Mighty Army wanted to enter the city with the imperial decree, but He Yan forced them back. The actions of the Tiger's Mighty Army were most likely ordered by King Wei, but this move also failed."

Zhou Yunhan was a little dazed, and after a few breaths of silence, Cang sighed.

"So, in the battle between the two sides, the general won in the end? From this point of view, what happened to Princess Wei may have been instigated by the general..."

"Right now, the empress dowager and the general are likely to be in control. If King Wei dies, will the prime minister be removed as well?"

Zhou Nuo shook his head slowly, his eyes steady.

"Not at all. Not to mention that there are still guards around, Lin Zhengqing is not easy to get along with."

Zhou Yunhan frowned and stared at Zhou Nuo.

"Xin Wang, everyone said to take advantage of the chaos to make a profit. Now that the two factions are fighting each other, it is a good time for the fisherman to make a profit. We can't just watch it?"

"What Uncle Wang said is that this is the reason why my nephew sought Uncle Wang and Brother Wang to come to the secret meeting."

Zhou Nuo smiled slightly, then straightened his expression.

"According to Sizhu Zhao's news, the prime minister's people are hunting and killing the backbone of the general's side, and it is impossible for the general's side to not take action."

"Since this is the case, there are many key positions vacant in the court. In addition, the two sides have fought tonight, and the power has weakened. It is a good time for us to seize food!"

"What we need to do is to find out the vacancies as soon as possible, draw up candidates in advance, and win some positions. I believe that both parties will make concessions. After all, we can fall to one of them at any time!"

The eyes of the other three people brightened, as if they saw the hope that the Three Kings Faction would grow stronger and truly stand up to the other two factions...

……

General's House.

"Stop!"

At a guard post leading to the inner house, seeing more than a dozen people walking silently, the captain of the dark scale guard who was on duty shouted and stepped forward vigilantly.

The sentries here and the surrounding teams of light and dark sentries all set up their guards, staring at the dozen or so people.

"You wait..."

The team leader was about to ask for the identity of the person who came, but when he saw the face of the leader, his expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly bowed his head to salute.

"Greetings to Vice Minister Sun!"

The team members were stunned for a moment, and then they all put away their weapons and saluted, and the rest of the guards on duty stopped paying attention to this place.

Since it was Sun Tao, the deputy head of the Dark Lin Guard who came, they naturally had nothing to doubt.

"Well, is there any movement around?"

Sun Tao nodded expressionlessly and asked in a cold voice.

"Go back to the deputy guard, everything is normal!"

The captain responded respectfully, then quietly glanced at the person behind Sun Tao, and asked cautiously, "Vice guard, what is this?"

"The general personally ordered the people brought by this guard. The matter is a secret, and it is not for you to know."

Sun Tao gave a cold warning and didn't give the other party a chance to continue questioning. He patted the latter on the shoulder and took his men over the guard post.

"Keep your eyes open, keep your spirits up, and be on duty."

The squad leader didn't think too much, and honestly agreed with "No".

In front of a rather secret attic in the inner house, when Sun Tao and others came here, they found that there were more than [-] dark scale guards guarding here, and the leader was another deputy guard, Wen Nan.

At the same time, Wen Nan also discovered the arrival of Sun Tao and others.

"Sun Tao? Didn't the general order you to hunt down King Wei? Why are you back?"

Facing Wen Nan's suspicious gaze, Sun Tao grinned as he continued walking.

"Isn't this nonsense? If I don't get it, how dare I come back?"

Wen Nan was taken aback for a moment, and then a look of jealousy and annoyance flashed in his eyes.

This is a great contribution, if he had known that Wei Wang was so easy to kill, he should have taken the initiative to ask for orders to go!

But soon, Wen Nan realized something was wrong.

"Wait, where's the body?"

"Also, who are they? Why don't I remember?"

At this time, the distance between the two sides had been shortened to within thirty steps, and what Wen Nan greeted was not an answer, but a raging murderous intent.

Behind Sun Tao, the dozen or so mysterious men pretending to be soldiers of the general's mansion suddenly rose up, throwing darts, using sword energy, or bombing steel balls with astonishing pressure, and took Wen Nan and others away almost instantly. the lives of all.

Afterwards, half of the people dispersed to guard the surroundings, while the other half went straight to the attic.

Loft hall.

When the door was kicked open, what caught the eye was Hu Zhizhuo who turned his head back and forth in a daze, and the beautiful woman sitting on the grand teacher's chair at the back, frowning slightly.

The woman is wearing a bright yellow gold silk embroidered dress, with a slender white jade neck and calm phoenix eyes, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

That kind of natural dignity and majesty made people dare not feel offended.

"Good! Very good!"

Hu Zhizhuo slapped the table heavily, gritted his teeth and glared at Sun Tao with murderous intent in his eyes.

Needless to say, he also understood what was going on in this situation.

However, he was not in a hurry to settle accounts with Sun Tao, but stared at other people.

"Who are you?!"

In the silence, a laugh like a silver bell suddenly sounded, and then one of them was seen taking off the iron helmet covering his face, revealing a face as delicate as a bright moon.

"The leader of the Nine Nether God Sect, Shang Kewan, has met Queen Mother Hu and the General."

Shang Kewan threw away the iron helmet casually, and her movements of clasping her fists were smooth and chivalrous.

Seeing the smiling Shang Kewan, Hu Run'er's eyes couldn't help flashing a look of surprise.

At first glance, this girl is eccentric and small, and then she is generous and heroic, but upon closer inspection she is mature and elegant, like a jade woman.

On the other side, Hu Zhizhuo's pupils shrank, as if a little apprehensive, but he refused to forgive.

"Nine Nether Demon Sect?! How dare you meddle in the struggle for imperial power? You can't find death?!"
