Lord and leave

Chapter 166

If the ruler of a country is like this, how can he win the hearts of the people?What is the world?
To put it bluntly, even if the knife is now on King Chu's neck, even if he wants to pee his pants in fear, he still has to pretend to be an emperor.

"Escort, hurry up and escort! Someone escort..."

Eunuch Li is indeed the most loyal person to the King of Chu. When the King of Chu was in danger, he was the first to rush forward, blocking the King of Chu's body with his own body, and shouting loudly, hoping to get away from the nearby guards. The army could hear it, and hurried over to protect the emperor.

The emperor also brought a few imperial guards by his side. Although he has been practicing all the time, it is difficult to use two fists four times. Now it is obvious that there are too many people bullying the few people. No matter how powerful they are, they will not last long.

Eunuch Li was protecting the King of Chu and retreated quickly, and the few imperial guards who could not be less were also protecting them, but the more they retreated, the fewer people there were.

The men in black came fiercely, and it seemed that they would not stop until they killed the King of Chu. After they were not too far away, the King of Chu saw that the eyes of these men in black were bloodshot and their veins were bulging. It's like taking some kind of medicine or being under the binocular spell.

King Chu's heart trembled, who is it that wants to kill him like this?

Could it be that other countries want to annex Chu without spending a single soldier?

As he retreated step by step, the king of Chu had already had a lot of thoughts in his head.

But at this moment, the situation is so critical, how can the man in black give him time to think?
The man in black saw that the King of Chu was about to retreat to the gate of the Royal Garden. If they alarmed the guards nearby, they would definitely not be able to kill the King of Chu.

Thinking of this, the man in black speeded up his attack, regardless of whether he would be hacked by the Imperial Guard or not, he rushed towards the Imperial Guard in the most direct way.

At this time, there were only three imperial guards left. Seeing the man in black rushing towards him, the imperial guard immediately swung the knife out, and the knife hit the man in black on the chest.The blood from the man in black's chest sprayed out in an arc shape, and the knife would definitely kill the man in black.

However, what the imperial guards didn't expect was that the man in black had no intention of avoiding him, he reached out and grabbed his shoulder, and slammed forward forcefully.His knife penetrated deeper into the man in black's chest, and when he looked down, he found that the man in black's knife also penetrated deeply into his heart. Before he felt the pain, he He fell down with the man in black.

Eunuch Li and the king of Chu who were behind the imperial guards both saw this thrilling scene, and their bad premonition grew stronger and stronger. Could it be that he, a dignified king of Chu, is going to die here today?

"Bold assassin, if you don't put down your weapon and surrender, my king can spare your life." Of course, Eunuch Li knew that what he said was nonsense, but he hoped to use this to distract the man in black and delay it for a while, so that he could wait until Help comes.

Now there are only him and the king of Chu left, and he still doesn't know any martial arts. He really hopes to use his life to pay back the life of the king of Chu.But this is of course impossible, they are here for King Chu, and his life is worthless to them.

Sure enough, the man in black reacted after hearing this, and burst out laughing, which confused Eunuch Li and the King of Chu.

"Bold thief, what's so ridiculous?" Eunuch Li reprimanded with his old face flushed.

"What's so ridiculous? It's so absurd. When the dog emperor killed his own son, he didn't have any of his subordinates. Why would he show mercy to our subordinates? Tiger poison doesn't eat its offspring, and the dog emperor is simply inferior to animals." Black clothed People looked at Eunuch Li with disdainful eyes, as if saying Eunuch Li was an idiot, and it was ridiculous to use it to deceive them even if three-year-old children would not believe it.

"That's because he conspired against him first, and he wanted to kill his father and king." Eunuch Li roared angrily, how could this group of people know right from wrong.

"Hmph, the prince never thought of killing the dog emperor at all. It was the prince who the dog emperor suspected, so the prince would do this, but the prince never thought of killing the dog emperor from the beginning to the end. The prince thought of the kindness of nurturing Who knew that the dog emperor was so cold-blooded and ruthless that he would kill the prince immediately after catching him, tell me, is it worse than a beast?"

It turned out that these men in black were the prince's confidantes. They pretended to surrender on the battlefield that day and took the opportunity to escape. They thought that the king of Chu would consider the love between father and son and let the prince go. At most, he would abolish the prince's position.

But who would have thought that the King of Chu would be so cold-blooded that he would even kill his own son without blinking an eye.

They are all people who have been favored by the prince and pledge their allegiance to the prince to the death.The prince is usually a little indecisive, but his temperament is not bad. I didn't expect the dog emperor to be so cruel and able to do it.

After they escaped, they decided to avenge the prince, so they drew up this revenge plan to sneak into the palace.

It was originally planned to be in the dark night, but now the palace no longer wants the original palace.When the imperial guards in the palace fought, some died, some were injured, and the rest had to patrol the entire palace.

The defense in the palace has long been useless. As long as they observe the terrain well and calculate the time for the handover, it will not be a problem to retreat completely.

"Don't talk nonsense with the whole old eunuch, he just wants to delay time, so hurry up and do it." A man in black next to him saw Eunuch Li's purpose and reminded him aloud.

"Looking for death, actually trying to delay time." The man in black roared, and slashed at him with a single knife.

The big knife swung across, and a blood-red mark appeared in the middle of Eunuch Li's head. His eyes were round and round, and he looked like he was dead.

"Now you're the only one left. I'll see where you go." The man in black walked towards King Chu little by little with a bloody knife in his hand.

The king of Chu has been stunned since he heard the man in black. The boss never thought of killing him. The boss rebelled against him because he doubted him and was afraid of losing the crown prince. do it.

Deep remorse seared his heart.

The man in black couldn't help but sneered when he saw King Chu's expression, "Huh, I regret it now? It's too late! Tomorrow is the crown prince's seventh birthday. Go down and accompany him!"

After the man in black finished speaking, he slashed at him again.

The king of Chu didn't want to resist at all, regret occupied his heart, making him wish he could die now, the eldest son is his favorite son, but he...

When Dao was under his command, everyone thought that the king of Chu would surely die, but a dagger pierced into the middle of the forehead of the man in black with a whoosh.

Bright red blood slowly flowed out from the gap beside the dagger, and the man in black fell backwards without making a sound.

The king of Chu was also surprised, looking back, it was Chu Hengqing who rushed over.Before he could say a word, he started a life-and-death struggle with the man in black.

Chu Hengqing's leg injury has not completely healed, and after a few moves, he is at a disadvantage. There are a lot of big prizes and small prizes on his body, and when he seems to be unable to hold on, the imperial guards finally rush over.

Chu Hengqing and the king of Chu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. A large number of imperial guards came in. The men in black couldn't hold back at the same time. They retreated to a corner, looked at each other with a smile, and bit their jaws hard. Blood flowed out, and he died immediately.

Chu Hengqing stepped forward, and the imperial guards automatically gave way.

Chu Hengqing probed the man in black's breath with his hand, and touched the main artery on his neck with his hand, opened his eyelids with one finger, and shook his head secretly.

"It is reported that all the assassins of my father took poison and died, but one thing is strange, that is, they seem to have taken some medicine that can enhance martial arts in a short period of time, but it also has a serious side effect, which is to shorten the life span." Chu Hengqing seemed regretful. Said.

In fact, Chu Hengqing already knew that these people were here to avenge the prince, and he waited outside for a while to see the right time before coming in. He said this just to make the king of Chu feel more regretful.

He had already killed a son by mistake. Chu Hengqing believed that even if one day he wanted to do something to him again, he would hesitate to do so.

"They're all dead." The king of Chu seemed to be muttering to himself, and then looked at Chu Hengqing who was kneeling on the ground, "Get up, go back to the imperial study first."

"Thank you, father." Chu Hengqing didn't get up very quickly, and the injury on his leg started to ache again due to the strenuous exercise just now.

"Go call the imperial doctor and let them go to the imperial study room quickly." After Chu Hengqing got up, he ordered the guards closest to him to go to the imperial hospital to find the imperial doctor, and finally followed in the footsteps of King Chu to the imperial study room.

Inside the imperial study.

"Why are you there?" King Chu said seemingly casually.

"Returning to the father, the son-in-law didn't appear there by accident. The son-in-law came to find the father on purpose. The son wanted to ask the father about something, but he couldn't find the father, so he looked around. Unexpectedly, when passing by the imperial garden, I vaguely heard strange voices coming from inside. After walking in, I realized that it was the sound of fighting and calling for help. It was only because Erchen had an injury on his leg, and the rescue came late. I hope my father will forgive me. "Chu Hengqing said sincerely. When he said that his leg was injured, he added a little bit of grievance, which made King Chu feel very uncomfortable.

"What's your fault? You saved me twice with injuries on your legs. How's the injury on your legs? Next time, I'll ask the imperial physician to show you." King Chu was still suspicious of Chu Hengqing's plan just now, but now Some believe it.Looking at the injury on Chu Hengqing's leg, he couldn't bear it. He wondered if it was because he was a little old now and became a little sentimental.

"Thank you father." Chu Hengqing said, and knelt down again.

"Get up, before your legs get better, let's temporarily avoid these red tapes. Just now you said you have something to say, what is it?" Seeing Chu Hengqing knelt down again, King Chu hurriedly stopped him.

"Father, tomorrow will be the first seven of elder brother. My son dared to ask father to set up a memorial tablet for elder brother. Even if it can't be placed in the palace, even if you buy a house outside the palace to enlarge brother's memorial tablet, elder brother can't do it." It won't become a lonely ghost." Chu Hengqing said, feeling a little sad in his heart, the prince was only in his 20s, and he passed away so early.

Now that the father knew that the crown prince had no intention of killing him, he must regret it in his heart.Now that the imperial decree has been issued, how can you take it back if you have no jokes?Therefore, if he starts this way and becomes a bad person, his father will definitely punish or scold him on the surface, but in fact, his father's favor for him will double in his heart, and what he wants is this double increase.

Then when recruiting troops again, according to what Zhu Bingling said, staying away from the palace and training troops far away will not pose a threat to the father's throne, so the day when he can legitimately inherit the throne is just around the corner.

"Presumptuous." At this moment, there were only King Chu and him in the imperial study room, so the room seemed empty, and King Chu's voice was extraordinarily loud in the room, not at all like someone who had just been frightened just now.

"I don't dare." Chu Hengqing knelt down again, but just because he knelt down didn't mean he surrendered.

"Father, although elder brother is rebellious, he is always your own flesh and blood. Although elder brother was alive, although he could not say that he had any great strategy, he was also a kind-hearted person. This rebellion, I think it must be instigated by others , if not, he will not seek power. The eldest brother is the prince himself, why should he fight for something that will belong to him sooner or later. Now that the eldest brother is gone, it is better to let all these pass and give the eldest brother a memorial tablet so that the elder brother can know and know the father. I have forgiven him, and let him be a man again as soon as possible." Chu Hengqing tried his best to make his words choke up a little, to make himself look more sincere.
