Chapter 232 The Emperor's Funeral
Chapter 231 The Emperor's Funeral Day

Yuan Weilie was silent for a moment, and then asked softly, "Do you know who killed Miaoshu?"

Rui Wang Yuan Weitao's complexion changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "Brother, you mean that the death of the Ninth Prince Miaoshu was caused by the Crown Prince? Is this impossible? Miaoshu and him are brothers of the same mother! And , These years, I don’t think Miaoshu is too ambitious, it doesn’t look like he wants to compete for the big position! Why can’t the crown prince allow Miaoshu to live?”

A faint mockery appeared on Yuan Weilie's face, and he said softly: "Is there any need to ask? Although the person who killed Miaoshu did not reveal his true face, the sword technique he used was very similar to the effect of the Yuyi sword. Why do you say?"

Yuan Weitao frowned and fell silent.

After the assassination of the Ninth Prince Yuan Miaoshu, Qian Ye, the feathered sword in the Third Prince's mansion, was quickly thrown into the sky prison and has not been released yet.

Therefore, if the person who assassinated the ninth prince was really arranged by the prince, then the purpose of the prince is obvious - to frame the third prince.

After being silent for a long time, Yuan Weitao let out a long sigh and said in a low voice: "Brother Emperor, how could the crown prince be so unwise? Miaoshu is his own brother. He can actually attack his own brother in order to frame his opponent. How can he be so cruel?" Heart?"

Yuan Weilie's tone was flat: "Maybe he thinks that he is careful and no one can see through his methods! You think he is unwise now, maybe he thought he was very smart when he did this!"

Yuan Weitao was speechless.

In my heart, I was also startled by the fact that the emperor was still able to discern the details and the methods of the prince under the current situation.

Everyone in the court thought that the emperor's time was short, and he couldn't even personally review most of the memorials every day. He must have lost sight of many people and things.

Who would have thought that the emperor could still control the prince's every move?
Moreover, the emperor can grasp the prince's actions so clearly, what about other people's little thoughts?Is the emperor also clear about it?
"Brother Huang, it would be great if I could lend you my life essence!"

Yuan Weitao sighed softly.

Yuan Weilie smiled lightly, looked at the blue sky with cloudy eyes, and said softly: "The sky does not have holidays... What can I do for it? Sixth brother, after I go, you and I will be the only one who knows how to participate in the same contract." , who will take my seat in the end, as long as it is my descendant, you don't need to worry about it, I only need you to be the pillar of the sky for my Yuan family, to ensure that the ancestors will not fall into the hands of others, your cultivation Because, I am relieved, but your heart is not hard enough. At critical moments, remember not to be soft-hearted! If necessary, you can abolish the emperor and establish a new emperor! Remember?"

After asking the last sentence, Yuan Weilie slowly turned to look at Yuan Weitao.

Yuan Weitao looked solemnly, and looked at the emperor for a few seconds. Yuan Weitao put down the teapot in his hand without saying a word, got up and knelt beside the emperor, and said in a deep voice: "My brother accepts the order! Brother, please rest assured, my brother will definitely protect me Yan Jiangshan will not be lost, and will never let the emperor down!"

Yuan Weitao's statement was resounding.

But it was too late to wait for the emperor's response. Yuan Weitao knelt there with his forehead touching the ground. After waiting for a while, he gradually felt that something was wrong, so he frowned and slowly raised his head to look at the emperor.

However, the emperor's eyes had lost their luster, as if he had fallen asleep, he was half lying on the recliner, and his right hand, which was originally resting on the armrest of the recliner, had already dropped down.

A breeze blew past, blowing a strand of hair from the emperor's temples, but not the emperor's face.

Yuan Weitao stared blankly at the emperor's frozen expression, with a deep sadness in his eyes, but soon, the sadness in his eyes was suppressed, replaced by determination.

Yuan Weitao closed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then opened them again. When he opened his eyes again, his face was sinking like water, his tall and majestic body slowly got up, and the purple python robe on his body was blowing and flying without wind.

He walked a few steps forward with his hands behind his back, stood in front of the emperor, and suddenly shouted in a deep voice, "Come on!"

Soon, a big inner guard trotted over, clasped his fists at Yuan Weitao and bowed his head, "What is your order?"

Yuan Weitao looked down at him with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Your Majesty has an order! Order the commander of the imperial army, Hou Jianming, to come and see him as soon as possible!"

The Ouchi guards in front of him did not doubt that it was there, they did not suspect at all that in front of the emperor, King Rui dared to pass on the imperial decree, and immediately accepted the order in a deep voice: "Yes!"

Then he turned around and left, and quickly went to find the commander of the imperial army.

Rui Wang Yuan Weitao looked coldly at the back of the big inner guard leaving, and suddenly shouted again: "Come again!"

Soon, another Ouchi guard trotted forward, folded his fists and bowed his head to obey the order.

Yuan Weitao looked at him coldly, and shouted: "You go to the palace of the prince and tell the princess——His Majesty's favor, order the king to stay in the palace tonight, and ask the concubine to order the housekeeper to bring a change of clothes to the king!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The Ouchi guard didn't suspect anything, and left quickly after taking the order.

Yuan Weitao suddenly shouted again in a deep voice: "Which priests are guarding around today? Your Majesty has an order! Please come forward and obey orders!!"

After a while, Ren Hebin, the god of thunder, Qin Jingyu, who is good at curing diseases and saving lives, and He Shaocong, the youngest of the seven priests, appeared from three directions one after another.

Thunder God Ren Hebin, who was dressed in black, swooped down from the top of a temple not far away like a big bird.

Qin Jingyu got up from a sea of ​​flowers.

The slender He Shaocong jumped from the crown of a tree.

The three of them came to the front quickly, bowed their heads and cupped their fists to obey orders.

"I let Hebin listen to the order!"

"Minister Qin Jingyu listens to the order!"

"Minister He Shaocong listens to the order!"

However, after the three of them listened to the decree, they did not hear the emperor's decree for a long time.

This made the three of them a little puzzled, subconsciously glanced at the emperor from the corner of their eyes, among them, Ren Hebin's sight was blocked by Yuan Weitao, and he did not see the emperor.

Qin Jingyu and He Shaocong, who were standing on both sides of Ren Hebin, caught a glimpse of the emperor's abnormality at a glance. They were startled for a moment, and then their expressions changed slightly.

At this moment, Yuan Weitao, who was standing in front of them, spoke in a low voice: "As you can see, His Majesty has already died, but the candidate for the new emperor has not yet been announced. In order to prevent someone from taking risks, I now order you to block the funeral of His Majesty." The news! Until the new emperor ascends the throne! I wonder if the three are willing to obey the order of the king?"

Ren Hebin was startled, he hadn't seen the emperor's abnormal state just now, so he subconsciously glanced at Qin Jingyu beside him, Qin Jingyu nodded slightly to him.

Ren Hebin's complexion changed slightly, and he looked at He Shaocong on the other side, and He Shaocong also nodded slightly.

At this point, they are faced with a choice - whether to agree to obey King Rui?
It stands to reason that their seven major offerings only listen to the emperor's will.

But now the emperor has just died, and the new emperor has not succeeded to the throne, and they don't even know who the new emperor selected by the emperor is.

How does this make them choose?
After the three were silent for a few seconds, the youngest He Shaocong suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of King Rui, clasped his hands together and said, "He obeys!"

"Very good! He Gongfeng is young and promising. What is rare is that he understands righteousness. This king is very pleased!"

Yuan Weitao smiled and praised him generously.

With their heads down, Ren Hebin and Qin Jingyu glanced at each other quietly, feeling the pressure.

He Shaocong first expressed his obedience to King Rui, and the pressure on them suddenly increased a lot.

A few seconds later, Ren Hebin and Qin Jingyu knelt down on one knee, fisted together, "Ren Hebin obeys!"

"Qin Jingyu obeys!"

"Very good! However, if you want to block the news of His Majesty's funeral, the three of you are not enough. After a while, Hou Jianming will come. As the commander of the imperial army, Hou Jianming is willing to obey the king and order to block the news. Block this news! But if he refuses to obey orders, then I will trouble the three of you to take him down!"

After Yuan Weitao finished speaking, He Shaocong was the first to accept the order again.

Ren Hebin and Qin Jingyu had complicated expressions, but they still followed orders.

Not long after, Hou Jianming, dressed in a black military uniform, hurried over.

Arriving in front of King Rui, Hou Jianming subconsciously took a step to the right, and quickly came to the emperor, knelt down on one knee, and clasped his hands together: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Hou Jianming, come to see me!"

The emperor who had already died naturally would not speak again.

Rui Wang Yuan Weitao beside him said in a deep voice, "Commander Hou! Your Majesty has passed away."

Hou Jianming was startled, and suddenly looked up at the emperor.

When he saw the emperor's lost eyes and the drooping right hand, his whole body trembled slightly, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Yuan Weitao on the side spoke again: "Your Majesty's decree, before the new emperor succeeds to the throne, the news of His Majesty's funeral must be completely sealed and must not be leaked out!"

At this moment, Hou Jianming was flustered and confused. Hearing this, he quickly bowed his head and said, "I accept the order!"

Then, get up and leave.

Yuan Weitao squinted his eyes, and suddenly shouted: "Hou Jianming! How dare you resist the order?"

Hou Jianming was startled, and subconsciously turned to look at Yuan Weitao.

Ren Hebin, Qin Jingyu, and He Shaocong, who were guarding nearby, were also taken aback. For a moment, they wondered if they heard it wrong?
Didn't Hou Jianming lead the order just now?Why did King Rui still scold Hou Jianming for not obeying the edict?
"King Rui? I don't have one!"

Hou Jianming subconsciously denied it.

But Yuan Weitao stared at him coldly, and said with a sneer, "You are so courageous! How dare you disobey His Majesty's will! He Shaocong! Don't take him down yet!!"

He Shaocong frowned when he heard the words, and then his figure suddenly flashed, and he rushed to Hou Jianming, his face and hands exposed outside his clothes flashed brilliant gold in an instant.

It is one of the top ten abilities of the Ability Academy - the streamer golden body.

As soon as he got close to Hou Jianming, He Shaocong's right hand quickly grabbed Hou Jianming's neck.

Seeing this, Hou Jianming was startled and angry, and immediately lifted his arms up to block the front of his neck.

"when……"

With a strange sound, He Shaocong's golden right hand hit Hou Jianming's forearms. Hou Jianming seemed to be hit by a speeding truck, and immediately slid backwards, plowing two deep furrows on the grass with his feet. , Grass Splash.

"Dare to resist??"

He Shaocong sneered, his figure flashed again, and he rushed to Hou Jianming again. This time, his golden hands struck left and right and grabbed Hou Jianming's waist at the same time.

"presumptuous!!"

Hou Jianming was furious, shouting angrily, the saber in the sheath came out of its sheath instantly, the saber was as bright as snow, and swept towards He Shaocong's claws.

"Dangdang..."

The sound of metal colliding sounded twice, and the light of the knife swept across He Shaocong's hands one after another.

But it didn't hurt He Shaocong's hands in the slightest, instead two sparks came out of the collision.

"The presumptuous one is you!!"

He Shaocong retorted with a sneer, his golden claws suddenly pushed forward, and with a bang, they hit Hou Jianming's chest and abdomen hard.

Immediately, Hou Jianming's feet were lifted off the ground, and he flew upside down.

The fight between the two was too fast, with just one breath, the winner was instantly decided.

Although Hou Jianming, the commander of the Forbidden Army, is not bad at skills, he is no match for He Shaocong, one of the seven great priests.

only……

It seemed that He Shaocong wanted to kill Hou Jianming, but it seemed that it was not easy. Hou Jianming, who was blown away, turned over as soon as his back landed on the ground.

At this time, He Shaocong's figure flashed, as if he was teleporting, and flew towards him. Hou Jianming, who had just turned over, had a murderous look in his eyes, and instantly held the knife in both hands, and the whole person suddenly jumped up, "Dayan sixteen moves! !"

Amidst the roar of anger, the saber in Hou Jianming's hand quickly slashed horizontally and vertically, the saber was extremely sharp.

He Shaocong frowned, and could only fight fast, using his claws to block Hou Jianming's saber.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged dozens of moves.

Hou Jianming used the facts to prove that it was not in vain that he was named the commander of the imperial army by the emperor.

Not far away, King Rui Yuan Weitao watched this scene, and saw a dozen or so guards running quickly around him.

His face darkened, and he suddenly shouted: "Ren Hebin! Qin Jingyu! What are you still doing? Why don't you take down Hou Jianming together?"

Ren Hebin and Qin Jingyu frowned at the same time.

They were sure that Hou Jianming had accepted the order just now, but Rui Wang Yuan Weitao opened his eyes and told lies, accusing Hou Jianming of resisting the order and not obeying it.

This way of turning black and white made both Ren Hebin and Qin Jingyu start to doubt King Rui's ambitions.

Especially when the emperor had already died, it was difficult for King Rui to make people doubt his ambition.

At this time, being urged by King Rui to order, Ren Hebin and Qin Jingyu looked at each other, Qin Jingyu suddenly took a step back.

Seeing this, Ren Hebin hesitated for a second, and then took a step back.

Rui Wang Yuan Weitao saw their reaction, a cold light flashed in his half-closed eyes.

But he did not urge Ren Hebin and Qin Jingyu again, but while sneering, Huo Ran looked coldly at Hou Jianming, who was still fighting fiercely with He Shaocong.

Suddenly, Yuan Weitao raised his right hand, which was carried behind his waist, and as his right hand was raised suddenly, a mass of rapidly rotating transparent energy quickly condensed in the palm of his hand. Immediately, his right hand moved towards Hou Jianming who was fighting Push, and immediately, the energy cluster in his palm shot away like a shell fired from a chamber.

Hou Jianming, who was fighting fiercely with He Shaocong, was caught off guard. When his face changed drastically and he noticed the energy, it was too late for him to dodge.

"Boom..."

The transparent energy ball flashed and hit Hou Jianming's waist, and Hou Jianming was sent flying horizontally.

In mid-air, a mouthful of blood spewed out of his mouth.

Then, the body fell heavily on the grass.

The saber in his hand flew out long ago.
