Zongwu: Kill the prince? !I break the gate of heaven with one sword

Chapter 151 The old emperor died like this?

Tai'an City.

Inside the palace.

In the past few days, Zhao Dun has hardly thought about eating and drinking, and all his thoughts are put on the matter of killing Xu Liang'an, which is what he cares most about now.

If the ambush is successful this time, it will undoubtedly solve a serious problem in his mind, and from now on the whole of Liyang will have no worries, and he, the emperor, can also sit firmly on the throne, without having to worry about Lao Shizi's dragon slaying skills .

In fact, Zhao Dun was also very aggrieved, or deeply helpless.

Since the strong rise of an unpopular prince, he finally sat on the position of the leader of the small border country on the East Sea, to taking advantage of the troubled times of the world to lead the small country of Liyang to rise step by step, and finally defeated other countries to become the central country of the world. He really paid a lot.

But Xu Liang'an wanted to take the world away from him just by relying on a so-called "dragon slaying technique", which was undoubtedly impossible for Zhao Dun to accept.

Killing Xu Liang'an has almost become an obsession in his heart now, because with this obsession, he has almost no intention of state affairs at all.

Even, he did not hesitate to go against the teachings of his ancestors, and invited out from the deep palace the real God of Liyang Dinghai, known only to his Zhao family.

In a sense, this time Zhao Dun also gambled everything on himself, with a bit of a no-or-or-die flavor in it.But why didn't Zhao Dun know that what he was doing now was actually a big gamble?
In fact, Zhao Dun knew very well how fragile the alliance with Tuoba Bodhisattva was.Although he didn't have much contact with Tuoba Bodhisattva this time, he could tell that if Xu Liang'an could really be killed, Tuoba Bodhisattva would definitely turn against him and point his sharp blade at him, the Liyang Emperor.

And the reason why he still made such a choice even though he knew all this in his heart was because his hatred for Xu Liang'an was indeed greater than everything else, and for him now, is there any better choice?

Either wait for Xu Liang'an's dragon slaying technique to completely take away the imperial power in his hands, or bet on whether Tuoba Bodhisattva will eventually betray the mutual agreement and turn around to deal with him after finishing Xu Liang'an.

At least for Zhao Dun, there is still some hope for the second option, so his choice becomes logical.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to rest."

The little eunuch was transferred to Zhao Dun's side after Han Shengxuan's "disappearance". He thought he could serve by the emperor's side. Wouldn't he be able to get the position of chief executive in the palace in the future?
But after serving for this period of time, the little eunuch found that all this was more complicated and difficult than he imagined!Let’s not talk about how to adapt to the five words “accompanying the emperor is like accompanying the tiger”, the most important thing is to learn to deal with the unpredictable character of the old emperor!It was better when he was in a good mood, but if he was in a bad mood, the little eunuch would be the first to suffer.

Just like this moment...

Although he could clearly sense the low pressure in the air, he still had to fulfill his duty to remind the old emperor to go to bed.

It's just that the scene where he would be kicked away by the old emperor did not appear today.

Kneeling on the marble floor tiles, the little eunuch's body was tightly pressed to the ground, afraid that if he looked up, he would see the old emperor watching him.

But this posture was maintained for a long time, and the old emperor didn't make any response at all, which made the little eunuch full of doubts, but he didn't dare to look up at him, but still kept his kneeling posture motionless .

But as time went by, the little eunuch couldn't notice any movement of the old emperor in front of him at all, which gradually made him feel more and more wrong.

After all, with the body of the old emperor, the breathing sound was very rough, even when he just lay down, he could hear it, but now he suddenly couldn't hear any sound, what's going on?

The little eunuch was very puzzled.

and many more……

An inexplicable sensation suddenly appeared on his hands, which seemed to be some kind of warm and viscous liquid. Before the little eunuch could react, a fishy smell rushed directly into his nostrils. It kept attacking his brain.

Blood? !
The little eunuch finally realized all this, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then his body began to tremble uncontrollably. After all, there are only him and the old emperor here. Since he has nothing to do, who is the blood that appears now? Yes, need I say more?

Thinking of this, the little eunuch's body finally began to shake crazily, especially when the blood continued to flow until it completely covered his kneeling body on the ground, infinite fear kept attacking the little eunuch's mind, He finally couldn't control his emotions anymore.

The whole person erupted with an unprecedented power, from the posture of kneeling on the ground, he bounced directly from the ground, and the next moment he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

Zhao Dun, who was originally standing outside the hall in a golden dragon robe, still maintained his standing posture at this time. If it was just like this, it would be fine, but above his neck, his head had disappeared at some point , the blood that soaked the little eunuch's clothes flowed from Zhao Dun's neck, and even now it was still bubbling out.

"Come……"

As soon as the little eunuch yelled a word, he closed his mouth because his upper and lower teeth couldn't stop colliding with each other. After a few breaths, he adjusted his emotions from that state of extreme fear.

"Come here! Assassins! There are assassins!!!"

The screams completely broke the silence of the palace. Following the roar of the little eunuch, all the guards patrolling nearby rushed towards Zhao Dun's bedroom, but when they saw clearly the headless When the body was standing, each and every one of their faces showed extremely terrified expressions, and even forgot to be alert to the surroundings for a while, and just stared blankly at the scene in front of them.

"This... is this Your Majesty?"

The leader of the team opened his mouth in disbelief, and then turned to look at the little eunuch who was still terrified up to now with a murderous look on his face: "What the hell happened?!"

"I...I don't know."

In addition to fear, there was also a trace of confusion in the eyes of the little eunuch at this time.Before the team leader could ask any more questions, he himself told everything that had just happened like pouring beans.

After hearing his words, the team leader frowned slightly. At this time, he had gradually recovered from the flustered emotions just now. Now that the emperor has been assassinated, there is no point in obsessing over these things any more. The main thing is to find the clues of the Assassin's Blade.

Other patrol teams came one after another, and finally a lame old man came here limping, although he was lame, but no one dared to underestimate him, and nodded silently to him.

After the old man came to the headless corpse, he narrowed his eyes slightly without saying a word, and just stared straight at it.

His performance made the other forbidden soldiers dare not have any unnecessary reactions, and all of them looked at him with bated breath.

After a long while.

Only then did the lame old man speak slowly: "Let's all leave here, disband the establishment and leave the palace."

"Senior! What does this mean?!"

After hearing what the old man said, all the imperial guards present looked at each other in dismay, but they obviously didn't dare to speak casually in front of the old man, and finally asked the commander.

"Oh my god...it's going to change."

What the lame old man said still made others puzzled. He just silently raised his head and looked at the sky beyond the palace wall, as if there was something there that attracted his gaze.

"However, you can also stay. Maybe that existence needs you to continue to protect the safety of this place, but I have to leave, old man."

After saying this, the crippled old man seemed to have lost all interest in staying here, and left without looking back no matter how the commander of the imperial army shouted.

And the commander of the forbidden army, although he didn't know exactly what happened, but from the reaction and what the lame old man said just now, he can roughly guess that there must be an extremely powerful existence to kill his own emperor, even the lame man The old man obviously has no intention of intervening, so what can he say?
But after all, he was a soldier. After thinking for a while, he turned his head and looked at the little eunuch who had just been frightened and knelt on the ground again: "I will lead someone to cremate His Majesty's body, and you need to spread the news. It is said that His Majesty died of a sudden illness, because this illness is extremely contagious, so he must be cremated immediately, do you understand?"

"Yes... yes! Slave understands!"

The commander of the imperial army nodded in satisfaction, and then turned to look at his subordinates: "Go and contact the adults, and invite them into the palace to discuss what to do next."

After explaining everything, he left alone on the grounds of going to investigate.After arriving at a hidden place in the palace, he first took out a pen and paper from his pocket and scribbled on it, then blew a special whistle to summon a carrier pigeon.

He didn't leave with peace of mind until he saw the carrier pigeon fly out of the high palace wall with his own eyes.

……

The news of Emperor Liyang's death due to a sudden illness spread throughout the entire world almost overnight.Besides the death of the emperor, another piece of news spread like wildfire.

Grand Fu Yuan Benxi seemed to be unable to adjust his emotions for a while because of the news of the emperor's sudden death, and he passed away at the same night because of excessive sadness.

Of course, only a few people know what the specific reason is.

……

The people of Yangquan City have been doing well recently.

After all, with Gu Jiantang, the current great general, sitting here, no one would dare to make trouble here.

In the past, because Yangquan City was always operating as a foundry business, people from all over the world came to buy and order almost every day, which inevitably caused troubles.

But after Gu Jiantang brought people into this Yangquan City, everything became orderly.

Of course, just relying on the title of a great general is not enough, the main reason is that Gu Jiantang killed more than a dozen foreign merchants who caused trouble in this city for a small profit in three days. down.

These Yangquan people who were always worried that they would be affected were naturally very grateful to Gu Jiantang, a great general.

And Gu Jiantang seems to enjoy this feeling of being loved very much, he would walk around the city in casual clothes almost every day.

"General Gu!"

Seeing someone greet him, Gu Jiantang nodded slightly towards the other person without changing his expression.

"General!"

This time, Gu Jiantang had a faint smile on his face, and even said hello to the person who called him the general.

Ok……

Gu Jiantang still prefers others to call him the Great General.

But then he paused.

Because he saw a long-awaited figure, it was Xu Liang'an.After seeing the other party, he immediately greeted him.

With the existence of an organization like Baixiaoge, how can the speed of news transmission be described by the word "horror"?In addition, Xu Liang'an was not in a hurry to come here from Tai'an City, so at this time Gu Jiantang already knew about the death of the old emperor.

"You killed it?"

The three words straight to the point, without any cover.

"good."

Xu Liang'an nodded lightly. Through this time, Gu Jiantang took the initiative to go to Liangzhou City to tell him that Tuoba Bodhisattva and the others wanted to ambush him. To show kindness to Xu Liang'an, in short Xu Liang'an believed that Gu Jiantang was a smart person and would not do anything that would dare to betray him.

"Is it because of that incident?"

After getting Xu Liang'an's affirmative answer, Gu Jiantang continued to cautiously ask a question, but he still got Xu Liang'an's nod of confirmation.

As if he finally solved the doubt in his heart, Gu Jiantang greeted Xu Liang'an to sit down at the roadside tea stall, and waved his hand to signal the shopkeeper to get out of the way before he opened his mouth slowly.

"I don't know much about what happened back then, because I didn't have such a high status at that time, and I was still marching and fighting when it happened, so I just heard about it."

When Gu Jiantang said this, it seemed to be telling Xu Liang'an that Gu Jiantang had nothing to do with that incident back then, and it was actually another way of showing his favor and expressing his own attitude.

"I knew all the ins and outs of what happened back then, but General Gu didn't have to be so cautious. I'm not someone who kills indiscriminately."

Could it be that Xu Liang'an took the initiative to say such words when the two were getting along, but it finally made Gu Jiantang feel relieved, because he knew that this was also a sign of a closer relationship between the two.

"Since the son said so, it would be too hypocritical for me to be twitchy."

Gu Jiantang smiled and poured a cup of tea for Xu Liang'an.

"Now that the entire Liyang group has no leader, it doesn't seem like a solution to go on like this?"
