Chapter 317 Blood-stained Zichen Palace
The Zhongzhou Incident, which took place in late spring and early summer, had a profound impact on the subsequent historical process. However, at that time, both the planners and participants, they could never have imagined the seriousness of this matter. On the other hand, it was precisely because of the easy actions of some people that the formal rise of a great empire was promoted.
The world is vast and the mystery is hard to predict. Those who try to seize this last opportunity to save the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not hesitate to break a hard-won and stable situation. What will this desperate method bring? At least in Zichen Palace that night, no one knows the exact answer.
Even so, the conspirators hurriedly put their plans into practice. In their eagerness for quick success, they always believed that as long as there was half the hope of success, it was worth all the effort. In the north and south of Zhongzhou, inside and outside Luocheng, the golden armor was shaking, and the murderous intention was revealed! Perhaps, after King Zhao Chu Jiangmian drank that cup of wine, everything was no longer regained.
The wine given by the Emperor of Great Zhou was naturally not poisonous, and what was poisonous was the heart of the people. No one would pay attention to their existence. The old and weak Shi Jia and Shi Yi looked like this dynasty that had lost their vitality, and they looked like a dynasty that had lost their vitality, and seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind.
However, if anyone underestimates them, he can only blame himself for being blind! Whether it is the royal family of the Great Zhou or the vassal states, how can it last for a hundred years without a few "old monsters"-level figures? Just like the Zhao State had Ji Zi, Pang Tuo, Lie Zi Yufeng and others, the royal family of the Great Zhou has been passed down for hundreds of years, and its background in this area is of course even more extraordinary. However, after the cycle of reincarnation, these "old monsters" hidden deep in the palace ban, lurking like turtles, are almost dead. The ones that can be preserved are the best among them.
As the only remaining Shi Jia and Shi Yi, the task they received this time was to help capture and kill King Zhao! Although they stood there like a pair of living dead people, they seemed to be just two old eunuchs doing odd jobs. But in fact, all the situations within ten feet of the surrounding area were all visible, under their control.
Just earlier, Gongzi Jiu didn't know what he thought, so he suddenly snatched up the wine and drank it himself. Although this was a bit unexpected, what kind of person were these two old waiters? How could they reveal flaws casually? They looked at Chunyu Xian calmly, indicating that they were relieved, and Gongzi Jiu could not ruin any major events.
As peerless masters who have been hiding in the palace for decades, they not only have great cultivation, but also have all kinds of sluts and sluts, flying flowers and picking leaves, hiding them secretly, and killing enemies invisibly. In their eyes, a young man like Chu Jiangmian was not worthy of such a big fight. However, since he had threatened the final survival of the Zhou royal family, let him taste their cruel methods!
So, in the cup of wine that Chu Jiangmian drank, the servant armor gently flicked it, no trace to find, colorless and tasteless, and poison entered. They saw the young King Zhao drink without any warning, and couldn't help but smile coldly, and the big thing was accomplished!
Then, Chunyu Xian, who was already confident, officially summoned the Southern Han King Lu Qi. No matter what, capturing and killing King Zhao finally needed a suitable excuse. Lu Qi, who hit it off with them, was undoubtedly another crucial piece in this chess game. So, the hero from Lingnan made a brilliant debut!
However, whether it was Chunyu Xian who planned this big conspiracy and the nobles, or Shi Jia and Shi Yi who were ordered to act, they wanted to kill Chu Jiangmian on the spot to avoid long nights and many dreams and leave troubles. But when he went to ask the emperor Ji Yuan in the end, he only said a light sentence, which made them dispel this idea. Ji Yuan, who was dying, did not want to kill Chu Jiangmian directly in Zichen Palace. At least he didn't kill him now. Because if he was willing to take such a big risk and kill him so easily would be too much of a loss.
A living Chu Jiangmian has a much greater value than a dead King Zhao. If he can control this person, wouldn’t it mean that he indirectly utilized the powerful power of Zhao? All of them firmly believe that with the profound blessings that King Zhao and his son have brought to Zhao for a long time, hundreds of thousands of people on the northern land will never ignore his life and death. This is also the greatest confidence that the conspirators have.
Looking at the persecutors with ferocious faces around him, Chu Jiangmian raised his head with a little difficulty, and the smile on his face was pale and desolate. No one could feel the pain he was enduring in his heart now. His palms were tightly supported by several tables, straightened his body, and almost bleeding from his fingertips. But he was still smiling, and his eyes were full of disdain in his eyes as he looked at the enemy.
"Why do you have to do this? I'm here, I'm going to kill and cut, and I'll listen to the emperor! But there is a condition... you need to agree to me!"
Although his voice was not high, everyone in the hall could hear it very clearly. The situation was already very obvious in this moment. If anyone still didn't understand what would happen next, it would be too stupid. Of course, there were no idiots who could be qualified to attend the Wangting banquet tonight. Therefore, although those irrelevant people were shocked, they knew very well what they should do to save their lives. In the blink of an eye, they all retreated to the corner of the hall, each of them had a complicated mood, looked at each other in a silent manner, and watched the situation develop in silence.
Although no one can predict how tonight will end, there is one thing that everyone knows clearly in their hearts. That is, Zhongzhou will undergo earth-shaking changes! The peace and prosperity that has been maintained for nearly five years may be gone from tonight! Will each of them and the fate of the family behind them benefit from it? Or will it fall into a disaster? This is what everyone has to worry about in their hearts.
As for King Zhao who was caught in a huge conspiracy, although most people felt sympathy in their hearts, or felt unfair and angry for him, no one dared to stand up and speak out for him at the critical moment when the situation was critical! After all, this is a major event that concerns life and is not at all rash! Then, seeing that Chu Jiangmian was still calm at this time, everyone couldn't help but admire him secretly.
However, Chunyu Xian and others obviously would not think so. In their opinion, although Chu Jiangmian tried to maintain the king's demeanor, he was obviously poisoned. The purpose of his doing so was just to pretend. You must know that the use of poisonous methods by experts such as Shijia and Shiyi is unfathomable. If you want to die, you will die in an instant. If you want to capture alive, then when the drug attacks, the poisoned person will feel heartbroken and in pain. Moreover, your whole body will fall into a state of powerlessness in a very short time. No matter how great you are, under such a domineering drug control, you can do nothing but be captured!
To be honest, Chu Jiangmian has now become the fish on the slab, but can be slaughtered at will! In this case, he still has to put forward conditions and requirements, which aroused the curiosity of Chunyu Xian and others.
"King Zhao, why is this? No one here said he wanted to kill you! The King of Southern Han came to the banquet, but he wanted to calculate the accounts of the past with King Zhao. Alas! Speaking of which, Zhao State burned and killed more than 20,000 Han troops on the river, which were all living lives! The King of Zhao was so cruel. Not to mention those tragic soldiers, even after I heard about it, I didn't eat for several days and lamented for a long time...!"
Chunyu Xian pretended to say that although it was about pity, everyone could hear the treacherous meaning in his tone. Chu Jiangmian glanced at him, full of contempt. Lu Qi seemed to be impatient when he heard these clouds and mists. He sneered and looked at Chu Jiangmian and said.
"What Chunyu Gong said is all old grievances, so I won't mention it for the time being. Then, before King Zhao died... well, before the banquet ended. Hehehe! What conditions do you have? You might as well say it out!"
Lu Qi's chin was almost raised to the sky. His eyes looked at Chu Jiangmian were no different from looking at a stray dog. At this point, no matter what the ending was, this once very arrogant guy could no longer escape the fate of being controlled. Perhaps, it would be difficult for him to be an ordinary person after tonight!
"I will stay here, as you wish! Let the two of them go, no one is allowed to stop them."
When Chu Jiangmian said the words, everyone was surprised. They never expected that at this critical moment of life and death, the first thing he cared about was the safety of the two followers. There were countless princes and royal families in this world for a hundred years, but they had never heard of a prince who was willing to use himself as his own and let the followers who protected him leave.
"King! Bai Ye won't leave..."
"King! Xie Naruto is willing to die before... If anyone wants to offend, he must step on my body first!"
The two people who were flushed with anger almost shouted this sentence from their chests. The golden hook and sharp blade were filled with blood. If they were destined to die tonight, they would be willing to smash the bones of the person in front of them, and they would never refuse!
"Hahaha! Chu Jiangmian, you can't help it. You are already in the rain and you can't protect yourself. You'd better consider your future!"
Lu Qi had cold eyebrows and evil spirits suddenly appeared in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, the iron-armored warrior behind him came forward and was about to capture King Zhao. However, unexpectedly, the golden light was dazzling around him. With an angry shout, he exerted his power with two hooks, and blood was splattering everywhere, killing several people!
"Those who step closer will die!"
