Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 369
Before they died, the five swordsmen shouted the word 'poisonous' with vicious expressions.

Everyone present thought they were referring to the poison on Lian Jicheng's hidden weapon.But only Ye Chen, Lian Jicheng and his group of seven suddenly realized that the six swordsmen had been poisoned before challenging them. They had been poisoned by some kind of strange poison. When infuriating, the body may become unresponsive.

There was a dead silence in the audience, and the faces of the monarchs and ministers of Wuyue Kingdom were extremely ugly.

Before undertaking this challenge, the monarch and ministers of Wuyue Kingdom had analyzed in detail the strength comparison between the six swordsmen and Ye Chen's six guards.Although they dare not say that they are sure to win every game, they decided to take this method only under the premise of [-]% chance of winning, so as to avenge the murder of Qian Wu, Duke of Yue, without affecting Wuyue Kingdom. The method of relationship with Song.

It's a pity that things backfired, and the result of the challenge was exactly what both Wuyue and Song didn't want to see.

Zhang Mingqing, deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty, also reacted at this time, frowning tightly, worried that the death of these six swordsmen would deepen Wuyue King Shen's hatred of the Song Dynasty.

Ye Chen had already stood up when the five swordsmen died. At this time, he suddenly walked into the arena. After watching, smelling, cutting, and touching the five pretending swordsmen, he met the increasingly hostile gazes of the Wuyue king and his ministers. Underneath, he said solemnly: "My lord! These six swordsmen in your country were poisoned before the challenge. As long as they use the true energy in their bodies, they will be poisoned, making them unresponsive and the true energy collapsed. So including Jianyi and the five swordsmen just died inexplicably. Otherwise, with the strength of the six of them, the six guards of the lower officials should not be their opponents."

When Qian Hongchu, the leader of Wuyue Kingdom heard the words, his expression changed, he stood up abruptly, and shouted: "Come here, tell the imperial doctor to examine the corpse."

Night, cloudy, dim stars and moon.

Ye Chen and his party left the palace in two carriages and headed towards Hangyuan.In the carriage in front sat Ye Chen and the prince of Wuyue Kingdom, Qian Zhiyin, and in the carriage behind was the gift that Ye Chen had asked for from the Lord of Wuyue, Qian Hongchu, and Queen Su Manman—the one who could shrink bones It may be Maitreya's dancing girl.

Sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage at the back was Qi Bian, and Bai Xiaomao and Yue Zhengye rode behind the carriage.

Half an hour has passed since the tragedy of the eve banquet challenge in King Wuyue's Palace. Due to Ye Chen's strong request, the imperial doctor in King Wuyue's palace performed a certain degree of dissection on Jian Yi, who had been disemboweled before, and extracted from his gastric juice Sure enough, a poison was found, which finally verified what Ye Chen said at the time.It can be regarded as eliminating the misunderstanding between Ye Chenyi and Wu Yueguo to a certain extent.

It's a pity that people died after all, just like Qian Wu, Duke of Yue, who was killed by mistake before, the people of Song Dynasty were also responsible.Therefore, the death of these six swordsmen more or less deepened the estrangement and hatred between Song State and Wu Yue State.

However, fortunately, Qian Hongchu of Wuyue Kingdom has a firm will and a long-term vision. At least his attitude towards Song Guo and Ye Chen has not changed much.In addition, Princess Yongqing of Song Dynasty is about to marry the prince of Wuyue Kingdom.Therefore, on the surface, the death of the six swordsmen did not affect the friendly relationship between Song State and Wu Yue State.

However, at this time, accompanied by Qian Zhiyin, the son of the lord of Wuyue, he was in the carriage on the way back to Hangyuan.Ye Chen frowned more and more.

"Brother Qian! I heard that your grandparents are extremely protective. Do you think she will leave Ruyi Mountain and come to kill me to avenge those six swordsmen?" Ye Chen suddenly turned to Qian who was sitting opposite him. Zhi Yin said.

Qian Zhiyin looks very handsome, but in fact he is not a vase. After getting to know each other these days, Ye Chen found that this son of the king of Wuyue has many advantages and specialties. For example, he is a great talent. proficient.For example, he is also very good at governing the country.He is even very talented in business. According to the information obtained from Hu Sanguang's secret investigation, Qian Zhiyin has also set up his own business firm in private, with stores all over the states and counties of Wuyue Kingdom.

Such a person has an extremely extraordinary mind.He had already thought of what Ye Chen said before, so on the way to send Ye Chen back to Hangyuan, his face was full of sincere worry.

Qian Zhiyin said in a deep voice: "Brother Ye! Now it seems that the six swordsmen sent by my aunt were taken advantage of by some people. They were here to die today. To be precise, they were going to die in the hands of Brother Ye's guards. On the surface It was intended to drive a wedge between our two countries, but in reality, the death of the six swordsmen was intended to lure my aunt out of the mountain to kill Brother Ye. The status and the weight in the heart of His Majesty the Great Song Emperor, the relationship between the two countries may really break. Of course, in my younger brother’s view, the real purpose of the Maitreya Sect is to kill Brother Ye and drive a wedge between Wuyue Kingdom and Great Song Dynasty. I am afraid that the relationship between them is incidental. However, my younger brother and my father will try my best to stop my aunt and grandma, but as far as I know, my aunt and aunt have always done things their own way, relying solely on personal preferences, and love each other as they please. My younger brother and father Wang probably can't stop it. So, brother Ye, please pay more attention to your own safety these days."

Ye Chen was a little moved by Qian Zhiyin's frankness and sincere friendship. He stretched out his right hand and patted Qian Zhiyin's shoulder, and said, "Thank you, Brother Qian, I will pay attention. Please also tell Brother Qian, Choose a good day and auspicious day soon, and marry Princess Yongqing to Brother Qian."

When Ye Chen put his hand on Qian Zhiyin's shoulder, the latter's body trembled, his fair neck was a little red, and there was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes. There was another wry smile, nodded and said: "Little brother understands."

Ye Chen felt that the change in Qian Zhiyin's expression was a bit strange, but he thought of another matter in his mind at this time, but he didn't take it seriously, so he continued: "Brother Qian, I suddenly remembered that at that time, I reminded the king to let the five swordsmen The eunuch who went up together has a problem, after Brother Qian returns and catches him, if he can’t find anything out of his mouth, he can send it to me, and I have a way to make him tell everything.”

Qian Zhiyin's face changed slightly. Although he was not weaker than Ye Chen, he didn't have Ye Chen's ears. He didn't know that the eunuch in the palace whispered to Qian Hongchu that he suggested that five swordsmen go together.The most important thing was that Ye Chen didn't know, but he knew that the eunuch had a high status in the palace, even his father's personal eunuch, if he was really a member of Maitreya's sect, then his father might be in danger.

Thinking of this, Qian Zhiyin immediately stopped the carriage, bid farewell to Ye Chen, got off the carriage, and hurried to King Wuyue's palace.

After Qian Zhiyin left, Ye Chen stretched out his hand out of the car window, summoned Lian Jicheng, and said in a low voice, "Go to the Courtyard, find a way to meet Tang Guozheng envoy Xu Xuan, and he will tell you something."

Lian Jicheng was startled, that Xu Xuan who dared to love had also secretly become the chief envoy, he didn't dare to ask more, nodded in agreement, and disappeared into the night while shaking his body.He circled around the city a few times, and after making sure that no one was following him, he sneaked towards the Concierge Courtyard.

Lian Jicheng knew that the Commander-in-Chief asked him to join Xu Xuan for two reasons. One was that he had the best lightness kung fu and the easiest way to sneak into the concierge at night.The second is that the fact that Xu Xuan has secretly taken refuge in the chief minister is the same as the existence of Zheng Guogong Li Congshan in the Southern Tang Dynasty. It is the top secret of the Huaxia Weifu.

Not long after Lian Jicheng left, when Ye Chen's carriage turned a corner, a graceful figure suddenly emerged from the window of the carriage behind, and shot into the night.

Qi Whip sitting on the position of the carriage reacted the fastest, shouted loudly, and the whip in his hand was like a spirit snake, entwining towards the figure, followed by the white kitten and Yue Zhengye who were riding on the horse behind the carriage, and the weapons in their hands were also facing towards the figure. The figure attacked.

Seeing that the strike of the three was about to hit the graceful figure, the latter's body suddenly shrank strangely, not to mention the shortening of the legs and feet, and his figure shrank in an instant, just right to avoid the hasty attack of the three. With one blow, he jumped onto the roof of a house on the side of the road, and was about to fly away.

Qi Bian, Bai Xiaomao and Yue Zhengye who were closest to her were powerful, but their Qinggong was weaker than this woman. Now that they were a few steps slower, it would be very difficult to catch up.

This graceful figure is naturally the dancer who may be the girl.Before, Ye Chen was worried about scaring the grass and scaring the snake, so he didn't poison the girl or tie her up.Unexpectedly, this woman was very vigilant, she sensed something was wrong, and ran away decisively.

However, at this moment, a harsh piercing sound sounded, and a steel arrow appeared behind the dancing girl the moment the piercing sound sounded.

In the blink of an eye, the dancer screamed coquettishly, her right arm was bent to the center of her back against common sense, and at some point there was a dagger in her hand.

With a clang, the dagger in the dancer's hand accurately blocked the steel arrow at the last moment, but the terrifying force contained in the arrow made the dancer's face change drastically, even though the dagger in her hand was extremely hard and was not broken by the steel arrow, But her body was already driven by this huge force and flew out, spurting out a mouthful of hot blood, before she landed on the roof on the other side, a whip with full whip suddenly appeared, tightly entangled her, and pulled her down. On the roof, the white kitten and Yue Zhengye stepped forward, removed his jaw in twos and twos, his limbs were already dislocated, and then took out an unbitten poison pill from under his tongue.

From then on, the woman escaped through the window of the car and was captured now. It is a long story, but it only took two or three breaths.But from the strength shown by the dancer during this process, it can be seen that this girl's status in the Maitreya Sect is not low.
