The king behind the empress

Chapter 13 The Fish That Can't Be Hooked

After the buddy left, Yang Yanzhang stretched out his hand to the melon seeds. He wanted to continue peeling his own melon seeds, but when he stretched his hand halfway, he probably remembered that he had just touched the silver, so he frowned and called a buddy to come over and peel him. A basin of water.

After washing his hands, Yang Yanzhang continued to peel his melon seeds leisurely. Anyway, he did everything he could do. The man who reported the letter, Yang Yanzhang also told him not to say too much when reporting the letter. It depends on his luck.

On the other hand, Li Cunzhi asked with some doubts: "Brother Yanzhang, don't you need to inform Du Shangshu?"

"Why did you notify him?"

Yang Yanzhang replied while peeling melon seeds: "It's been so long, if he doesn't even know what's going on here, then he's really a minister of punishment."

"If he wants to come, he will definitely appear before Mo Zizai kills Zihui."

"If he doesn't want to come..."

Speaking of this, Yang Yanzhang glanced at Li Cunzhi, and said lightly: "Then you and I send him a message, isn't it just to embarrass him?"

"Don't want to come?"

Li Cunzhi was a little surprised, "Brother Zihui is Du Shangshu's son, and now Mo Zizai is going to kill him, how could Lord Du not show up?"

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say."

Yang Yanzhang shook his head again and again, he could see Mo Zizai's purpose very clearly, and I believe Du Xing, who is the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, could also see clearly.

At this time, there are only two ways in front of Du Xing. The first way is to show up and save Du Zihui, but the price is that he has to really join Mo Zizai, or under the command of the empress.

And the second way is to give up Du Zihui, let him fend for himself, and form a death feud with Mo Zizai from then on.

But the problem is that now Du Xing has secretly invested in King Bei'an, and even his eldest son is working under the command of King Bei'an. It's not that simple to change the court.

From Yang Yanzhang's point of view, Du Xing's chances of appearing are not very high, and now he can only hope that Tianjing Guards can save Du Zihui, otherwise, if Du Zihui wants to survive, he can only see if Mo Zihui is kind.

……

At this time, in the mansion of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, when Du Xing was making tea in the gazebo, a luxuriously dressed lady suddenly rushed out from the backyard. When she saw Du Xing, she had already started crying.

"Master, why do you still have time to drink tea?"

The lady rushed to Du Xing and shouted loudly: "Hui'er is about to be killed, why don't you go and see."

"What are you shouting about!"

Du Xing slammed the table and shouted sharply: "I don't know?"

The lady was stunned by the sudden anger of Du Xing, she didn't dare to speak for a while, and after a long time, she finally came to her senses, and cried and said: "Master, Yuan'er has been sent to the border by you, I am now Hui'er is the only son, you must save him, if he dies, I don't want to live anymore."

"Okay, don't cry."

Hearing his wife mentioning his eldest son, Du Xing's face became even uglier, but he did not burst out, but suppressed his anger, and said slowly: "You don't have to worry too much, that boy Yang Yanzhang has sent someone to Tianjing Wei Rescue soldiers, there are people from Tianjing Guard, they can't kill Hui Er."

"Tianjingwei?"

Mrs. Du was a little startled when she heard the words, "Master, aren't you going to save Hui'er?"

"Mo Zizai is the prince, and his status is still higher than mine, so what's the use of my going?"

Mrs. Du looked at Du Xing in disbelief. Although she didn't understand the court situation or Mo Zizai's calculations, she had been married for decades, and she knew Du Xing quite well.

From the time Du Xing said these words, she already knew that Du Xing didn't want to save Du Zihui.

"Master, Hui'er is your son."

Du Xing was a little uncomfortable being looked at by his wife, so he waved his hand and called the servant, "Come here, send Madam back to the room, don't let her out without my order."

"Duxing, how can you refuse to save him!!!"

Mrs. Du, who was carried away, stared at Du Xing's back, with a shrill voice, "Du Xing, that's your son, it's your son!!!"

"Women, what do you know?"

Du Xing reached out to pick up the tea bowl, and murmured, "With the Tianjing Guard here, they can already save Hui'er."

"That's right, they will definitely be able to save Hui'er, they will definitely be able to..."

As if to hypnotize himself, Du Xing kept repeating this sentence several times, but his slightly trembling hand holding the teacup revealed his not so peaceful heart.

……

As for Mo Zizai, he had been watching Chen Ying and Du Zihui fight for almost half an hour. In the end, the two fought over and over again. There was nothing new, and he was a little sleepy watching it.

At this time, a group of people came from the street, but they were not the Minister of the Ministry of Justice that Mo Zizai was waiting for, but Xue Wanche, the head of the Tianjing Guard.

The head of the guard, Xue Wanche, led the people to walk in front. The moment he saw Mo Zizai Wang Qi, he immediately began to scold his mother in his heart.

Originally, when someone reported to him that someone was going to kill the son of the Minister of Criminal Affairs, he thought it was some kind of knight-errant who came to seek personal revenge. In order to sell the minister of punishment, he did not hesitate to personally go out and prepare to suppress the thieves.

It was only when he saw Mo Zizai's Wang Qi that he realized that it was Mo Zihui who wanted to kill Qiao Zihui.

One of them is the first-rank King of Freedom, and the other is the son of a second-rank real power tycoon. Which of these special mothers can be provoked by a mere sixth-rank official?

Thinking of this, Xue Wanche couldn't help cursing whoever reported the letter, couldn't your mother's report be more complete?I said earlier that this was the case, and I wouldn't come if I killed him.

But there is no way, as the head of the Tianjing Guard, he is responsible for the security of the capital, if he doesn’t come, it’s fine, at most he was impeached for poor security, it’s no big deal, but if he came, he didn’t see it If Du Zihui died in front of him, his position as the head of the Jingwei would be over.

So although Xue Wanche was cursing in his heart, others had no choice but to step forward and saluted Mo Zizai from a distance, "Xue Wanche, the chief of the Tianjing Guard, has seen King Zizai."

"It's really not the right time for this guy to come. Did Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice invite you to rescue the soldiers?"

Mo Zizai thought that Xue Wanche was invited by the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and looked at Xue Wanche with a slight frown, "Zhou Qi, can you stop him?"

"It didn't work before."

Zhou Qi felt the fast-moving zhenqi in his body and the second form of the Son of Heaven's Seven Swords that he had just discovered, nodded slightly and said: "Now, it's no problem."

The accelerator speeds up the flow of his true qi, which not only speeds up his cultivation, but also shortens the interval between his return of qi, making his shots faster and his ability to continue fighting stronger.

Coupled with the extremely powerful Seven Swords of the Son of Heaven, with these, it shouldn't be a problem to face Xue Wanche.

"Just stop him."

Hearing that Zhou Qi said he could stop Xue Wanche, Mo Zizai didn't take Xue Wanche seriously, but turned to look at Du Zihui, shook his head slightly, and said, "It seems that Du Shangshu is not going to save his son anymore, really Heart of stone."

"Since this is the case, it means that Du Shangshu is determined to seek refuge with my uncle."

A trace of killing intent appeared in Mo Zizai's eyes, "Then let him die here, let Du Shangshu collect his son's body."

Seeing that Mo Zizai didn't even pay attention to himself, Xue Wanche couldn't help biting his teeth.

I have long heard that this is a domineering lord, but I didn't expect to be so domineering after being demoted to the prince. This is really a fucking hard job.

But he had no choice but to speak again because of his duty: "My lord, fighting is strictly prohibited in the capital. If there is anything that can be said by the guard, is it okay? If it is really not good, let's go to Jingzhaoyin and talk about it."

"No need, Xue Weishou, it's just a trivial matter."

Mo Zizai yelled at Xue Wanche, "This person trespassed on the guard of honor and intended to assassinate me, so I just need to solve it myself."

"Trespassing on the king's driver? Assassination?"

Hearing Mo Zizai's remarks, Xue Wanche was stunned, "Fuck, is this Du Zihui a sand coin? He actually trespassed on the king's car. Does he have a hole in his head?"

No matter how the prince has no real power, he is also a prince. If you dare to break into his guard of honor, isn't that despising the majesty of the royal family?Don't say that you are the son of the Minister of Criminal Affairs, it's not easy for you to be the king of heaven!
"Master Xue, don't listen to his nonsense, I just see Brother Shu being humiliated by others, and I will come forward if I can't stand it."

Du Zihui made an excuse in his busy schedule, "Also, I didn't break into his guard of honor at all, but he let me in."

Seeing that Du Zihui still had the energy to reply, Mo Zizai couldn't help but frowned, and said coldly, "Chen Ying, haven't you eaten yet?"

"You can't kill him within a stick of incense, so die with him."

Hearing Mo Zizai's threat, Chen Ying's heart tightened slightly. It seemed that His Highness really wanted to kill Du Zihui this time.

"In this case……"

Chen Ying's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said softly to Du Zihui: "Young Master Du, this servant has already bought so much time for you, but your father refused to save you. Now the master has ordered your life, and this servant has no choice."

"After you die, don't resent your slaves."

"If you want to kill me, it depends on whether your life is hard enough."

Du Zihui knew that he was at the critical point of life and death, he tightly held the hand of the folding fan, his heart was full of sadness.

It never occurred to him that it was just a small temptation to risk his own life. Is this Mo Zizi a lunatic?He is the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, how dare he do this!

"Shocking Fan~"

Du Zihui suddenly accelerated, fanned into a fright, and his speed suddenly increased by several percent.

"It actually hides its strength."

There was no wave in Chen Ying's eyes, and he said lightly: "It's kind of scheming, but it's a pity that the difference in strength between you and me cannot be offset by such a small trick."

Seeing that Du Zihui's fan had stabbed in front of him, Chen Ying took a step back calmly, and when Du Zihui's strength was exhausted, he slammed out with a palm, directly hitting Du Zihui's right hand holding the fan.

"Crack~"

Du Zihui's right hand was slapped by Chen Ying, and it immediately fell limply, and the fan in his hand also came out.

But Du Zihui was a bit ruthless, he didn't say a word when his right hand was crippled, he stretched out his left hand to take over the fan, he just raised up without stopping, directly forced Chen Ying back, interrupting his next offensive .
