Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 503 Murong Yanzhao's Death
"Not good, the people of Huaxia Weifu want to kill the general. Hurry up and save the general."

Li Yanqun's original intention was to frame Ye Chen and tell the guards outside. Under normal circumstances, only the guards near the latrine could hear his words. inaudible.

However, he didn't know how abnormal Ye Chen's hearing was.

In the banquet hall, Ye Chen first sensed that one of his black soldier ants had died, and his face changed slightly. Then, not long after, he heard Murong Yanzhao's warning sound, followed by Li Yanqun's shout .The addition of these made his expression change, but it also made him roughly guess what happened here.

He quickly made a gesture, and Lian Jicheng, who had been standing behind him all the time, and the assassins and spies of Huaxia Weifu around the banquet hall quickly held their breath.

At the same time, Ye Chen quietly opened the mouth of a small porcelain bottle in his sleeve, and a colorless and odorless gas quickly floated out of the small porcelain bottle, spreading around.This gas is different from the life-saving gas that the ghost doctor gave to Ye Chen in the past, and Ye Chen used it to turn the tables twice at critical moments.

While doing this, Ye Chen suddenly felt something. Looking at the right hand corner of the banquet hall, a figure dressed as a servant of the general's mansion disappeared in a flash. Looking at the direction he left, it was the latrine in the backyard.

"What a boy Cui Xi!" Ye Chen muttered to himself with his eyes fixed.

After three breaths, a few extremely shrill screams sounded from the backyard of the General's Mansion. The sound directly pierced the quiet night sky of Gyeongju and spread far away.

Everyone in the banquet hall was startled, and before they had time to say anything, several generals of the Northwest Frontier Army ran to the back of the courtyard.Although no one dared to believe that something would happen in the majestic general's mansion, the scream was not fake.

Ye Chen shouted: "There are assassins, everyone follow me to protect General Murong."

When he finished speaking, he was already grabbing Wang Baoxing, the magistrate of Gyeongju who was screaming.As soon as his figure floated, he rushed towards the backyard together with the anxious generals of the Northwest Camp, and the civil servants of Qingzhou also looked at each other in blank dismay, and ran to follow.

At the same time, beside the latrine in the backyard of the General's Mansion, there were more than 20 dead people lying on the ground. They were the expert guards beside Murong Yanzhao. They were lying on the ground, dead thoroughly. The most important thing was that there was a hole in their heart, and the heart inside had not disappeared.

Wu Batian and Li Yanqun looked at Cui Xi with extremely ugly faces and fear, Wu Batian said angrily: "Cui Xi, you crazy, do you know what you are doing?"

Cui Xi's face was always indifferent, and his expression did not change at all. He said: "You killed Murong Yanzhao to blame Ye Chen, and then provoked a mutiny in the Northwest Frontier Army. With Murong Yanzhao's prestige in the Northwest Frontier Army, Leading the rebel army to besiege and kill Ye Chen. This plan was good at first, but it is a pity that this plan is no longer feasible. So it is better to fulfill me and let me have an extra weight on Ye Chen's side."

Li Yanqun's face was livid, and he shouted sharply: "Why doesn't it work?"

Cui Xi glanced at him coldly, and said indifferently: "Because all the senior generals of the Northwest Frontier Army over there have been controlled by Ye Chen. The people of Huaxia Weifu in the Northwest Camp outside the city are also prepared."

Speaking of this, Cui Xi paused, and continued: "Sixth Elder, Ye Chen is coming soon, and the vicinity of the General's Mansion is full of people from the Huaxia Weifu. If you don't leave, I'm afraid you will become Ye Chen's again." Puppet."

Wu Batian couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words, he took a deep look at Cui Xi, turned around, kicked his feet, jumped up, and disappeared into the night.

After Wu Batian disappeared, Cui Xi said to Li Yanqun: "For the sake of the second elder, I will naturally not do anything wrong, so you can continue with your plan, and I will not interfere in the future."

When Ye Chen, the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army and the civil servants of Gyeongju came to the backyard of the general, they saw a pool of blood in front of them.

More than 20 master soldiers of the general's mansion were lying in blood, and all of them had blood holes in their chests.

Seeing this scene, the civil officials in Gyeongju couldn't help but feel their legs go weak.

But the generals of the Northwest Camp stared at the man in black behind the pool of blood.His expression was extremely excited.It seemed that they wanted to rush up and tear each other into pieces and eat them, but they were just anxious and angry, but they didn't dare to make any changes at all.

Because the masked man in black was holding the body of Murong Yanzhao, commander of the Northwest Camp!
A stream of blood slowly flowed down from Murong Yanzhao's body and dripped on the ground, but the general's head was lowered to the ground, not knowing whether it was life or death.

Looking at the dead bodies in the courtyard and the unknown body of the general, the eyes of all the generals in the Northwest camp were tearing up, and their eyes were already red. How could these powerful generals who have been fighting on the battlefield all year round think that there are assassins who dare to assassinate in the general's mansion .Dare to kill so many brothers in front of so many people, the most important thing is to hijack their most respected general.And the general seemed to be in doubt about his life or death.

"Put down the general!"

"You are so courageous, hurry up and put the general down, I'm the one who decides to keep your whole body."

All the generals roared and surrounded the man in black, but naturally they didn't dare to act rashly.

Ye Chen put down Wang Baoxing, the magistrate of Gyeongju, and glanced at the corpses in the field like lightning, looking at the men in black in the field, and thought: "The taste for killing is so strong, who else can there be except Cui Xi who is practicing magic attack. It’s just that this man in black is definitely not Cui Xi, no matter whether he’s disguised or not, who is he?”

Thinking of this, Ye Chen winked at Lian Jicheng, and the two were about to take action.The next move of the man in black surprised everyone.

The man in black was still holding Murong Yanzhao's body with one hand, suddenly knelt down in a certain direction, and said loudly: "My lord, the family members under me will be handed over to my lord."

As soon as the words fell, he spit out a stream of black blood with a puff, and then fell to the ground.

After everyone was shocked, a general from the Northwest Camp rushed up and hugged Murong Yanzhao's body. After checking, his face changed drastically, and he cried bitterly: "The general has already been killed."

The generals of the Northwest Camp in the arena seemed to be struck by lightning. Li Yanqun, who appeared from nowhere behind the crowd, wept bitterly and said through gritted teeth, "Who was the murderer talking to just now?"

Everyone was shocked and looked in the direction where the murderer was kneeling, but their expressions changed again.

The murderer knelt in the direction where Ye Chen was. He frowned, glanced at the generals of the Northwest Camp who were looking at him unkindly, and finally took a deep look at Li Yanqun.With a cold snort, he said, "Such a clumsy method of blaming others and diverting attention, as a general in our Great Song Army, some people actually believe it. Why, do you want to plot rebellion?"

When the generals heard the words, their faces changed again. Some people quickly looked away, but some people's eyes spewed fire, and they looked at Ye Chen with even more anger.

Wang Baoxing, the magistrate of Qingzhou, also came back to his senses at this time, stepped forward three steps at a time, interposed between Ye Chen and the generals of the Northwest Camp, and said loudly: "That's right, could it be that you are all in a daze? Dare to doubt that the imperial envoy will fail."

After hearing these words, most of the generals of the Northwest Camp calmly withdrew their gazes, and a few suppressed their anger and lowered their heads. Obviously, many people were still affected by the murderer's words before he died. It is believed that Murong Yanzhao was killed by the people of Huaxia Weifu, and Ye Chen is the culprit behind the scenes.

A general had already quietly called for his entourage, whispered a few words in his ear, and asked his entourage to leave the city immediately and head to the Northwest camp outside the city.

At this time, the scene was very strange, and everyone didn't know what to do.

Ye Chen turned around and said to Wang Baoxing, who was still in shock, "Let your soldiers guard the gate of the city, the killer must have accomplices, and the killer must not let anyone out of the city."

Wang Baoxing was shocked when he heard the words, but he immediately understood the deep meaning behind Ye Chen's words. He couldn't help but tremble in his heart, said yes solemnly, turned around and began to arrange for the officials of Gyeongju Prefecture, and the officials who received the orders asked Ye Chen and After Wang Baoxing bowed and saluted, he left in a hurry.The assassination of Murong Yanzhao, the commander of the Northwest Camp today, is such a major event, if one does not deal with it well, many civil and military officials in Qingzhou City will be unlucky because of this.Can't stand them not paying attention.

Li Yanqun glanced at the generals of the Northwest Camp around him, and exchanged glances with some of them. He saw an invisible cold look in the eyes of these people. Li Yanqun was basically sure that these people basically believed that Ye Chen killed the general. Murong Yanzhao.It's just that when he remembered that Cui Xi had said before that the generals of the Northwest Camp had been controlled by Ye Chen, he secretly cried out in his heart that it was a pity. Cui Xi's identity will not lie.Fortunately, he had already prepared, presumably the news that the general was killed by the Huaxia Weifu was about to spread to the camp of the army outside the city, no matter whether the generals in front of him were planted with poison or what, as long as they left the city, When he returned to the army, he was confident that the army would mutiny on a large scale, and at least he would be able to mobilize at least [-] troops to surround and kill Ye Chen.

Until now, Ye Chen didn't know why Wu Batian lost control, and he didn't know if there were any other people besides Li Yanqun who might be from the Holy Church.But as long as these important generals of the Northwest Camp are trapped in the General's Mansion, and the Northwest Camp has no leader, even if the other party can spread the news to the camp outside the city and instigate a mutiny, the damage will be minimized.

Fortunately, the possibility that Murong Yanzhao was killed by the Holy Church and then planted on himself was already thought of in the analysis and prediction of the intelligence department before, and a plan was planned, so he was able to take the most accurate response at the moment just now Otherwise, as long as the response is a little slow, or one wrong step, it may cause a serious and large-scale mutiny in the Northwest Camp.At that time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
