Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 338 Strangulation
The imperial mausoleum was already in sight, at the entrance, Xiao Xuan got off his horse and entered the mausoleum to see the coffin for the last journey.Xiao Changfeng followed closely behind, and picked two other people to accompany him.

The inner and outer coffins are in place, and the door is sealed with a stone.The servant smashed the mechanism set on the outer wall, and the two huge stones placed on the entrance door of the mausoleum fell to the left and right.A generation of emperors was isolated from the world.

Xiao Xuan looked at Shimen silently for a while, turned around and walked out, Dang Dang Dang, the sound of beads falling on the stone slab came from the left and right tomb passages.Dozens of small black balls rolled over from both sides, Xiao Changfeng saw it and yelled and fell down.

Bang bang bang, the sound of the fireball explosion echoed in the tomb, and because the sound insulation effect was too good, all the sounds were muffled in the tomb, making people's ears buzz.

After the explosion, several people got up from the ground holding their noses. Xiao Changfeng's expression changed and he said, "Protect the prince, and rush out of the tomb passage as fast as possible."

Xiao Xuan drew out his saber and followed several people up. Just as he reached the bottom of the hundreds of steps, several shadows fell from above, and seven or eight masked men in black walked down from the top.

The posture of holding the knife is very leisurely, as if he is not doing something rebellious, but more like treating the people below as lambs to be slaughtered.

"Prince, after the subordinates stay here, you should leave quickly."

"Since they dared to go this far, they have already made a perfect plan. It is estimated that all the passages are the same. I want to see today, who is so bold." After finishing speaking, Xiao Xuan stepped back from the steps and stood on the stone slab He remained motionless, and the blade in his hand shone coldly against the skylight coming in from outside.

"Kill!" The man in black flew down and slashed with his knife.After the fight, Xiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat. These people's moves were uniform but deadly, and they never made unnecessary moves. They were obviously a group of well-trained killers.

It is still a bit difficult for them to get out of the body today.

The shouts of killing were all muffled in the mausoleum, and the people guarding the tomb didn't know what happened inside, they only felt that it took a long time for Xiao Xuan to deliver the coffin.

"Duke Qing, isn't it a little too long for the crown prince to go down? Could something unexpected happen?" Someone beside him couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

"Even if there are any accidents, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will surely be able to turn the bad luck into good luck. I'll just wait with peace of mind."

Xiao Xuan was a little tired from the battle, there were running footsteps in the tomb on the right, he was half happy and half worried, he was finally relieved when the person who came showed up.

"His Royal Highness, how are you?" Shen Yan cupped his hands and saluted, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but laugh because he still did not forget to greet in such a crisis.

"It's not too good, Shen Aiqing came in time."

With Shen Yan's help, Xiao Xuan's pressure was reduced a lot. The black-clothed masked figure didn't think there was someone to help, and after some weighing, he didn't want to fight, and retreated quickly.

"Don't chase after poor bandits!" Xiao Xuan retracted his sword and led the people up, and when he reached halfway ahead, another person came, this time from the tomb passage on the left side of the back.Dozens of black-clothed masked men trapped their group in the middle.

"Where did you come from, how dare you besiege the present prince?" Someone scolded.

"Prince? What is that? Anyway, the emperor has so many sons. If one dies today, there will be another prince tomorrow." The masked man said sarcastically. The moment he finished speaking, other people laughed.

Xiao Xuan's face moved, and his eyes narrowed, "At first, I still thought that there is a good life in heaven, and I will give you a way to survive. Since you are obsessed with obsession, don't blame me for being ruthless. Kill it, just to be buried with the late emperor." Xiao Xuan's voice When it fell, hundreds of guards jumped down from the top of the tomb that no one had noticed, and surrounded the entrance of the tomb.

The sound of clanging knives colliding could be heard endlessly. Xiao Xuan stood in the center of the crowd with his hands behind his back, watching the severed arms and stumps flying out of the people, and hearing the screams echoing in his ears.There was a hint of coldness in his expression, he knew more or less who these people were and who they were taking orders from.In the struggle for imperial power, there have never been good men and women, and there will be no soldiers without blood.

Hundreds of people surrounded and suppressed more than [-] people, but within half a cup of tea, blood was already flowing into rivers.The red blood flowed down the black steps and reached Xiao Xuan's feet. He stood still and let the blood flow over the soles of his feet.

Once he is successful, how many people will die when he sits on the throne.

"Take it." Xiao Changfeng gave an order, and the guards dragged the men in black away. In an instant, only a dozen of them and the smell of blood were left in the whole space.

"Go." Xiao Xuan lifted his foot up the steps, step by step until he walked out of the tomb.Ushered in the kneeling worship of all the courtiers.

A gust of wind blew past, and a few leaves fell on the door-sealing stone at the entrance of the mausoleum. Shen Yu walked out from one side, looked at the endless procession in the distance and said, "The trees want to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop."

"At least those people have been able to settle down for a while, but you, you can't fail to see Shen Zhe's obvious surrender just now." Lian Qiuming said from standing on the side of the tomb, leaning against the stone wall with his arms folded.

"Why can't you see it? In the past, not to mention the prince's accident or the emperor's accident, he may not necessarily jump out to meddle in other things. The Shen family's affairs are not over yet, and he is really impatient right now."

"What are you going to do? You won't try to wipe out the entire consort's mansion like I did."

"Your suggestion is good. If the Shen family want to survive, they can only ask themselves to be common people."

"I don't think Shen Zong is willing. You still have a good backer after leaving the Duke's mansion. What does Shen Zong have? It's no wonder he doesn't work hard." Lian Qiuming grabbed a weed growing from a crack in the rock and held it in his mouth inside.

"If you really get to that point, it's not because he doesn't want to work alone. It's you, I'm afraid you have to be careful in the future."

"I'm not afraid of this. I don't believe that my son can do what his father couldn't do." Lian Qiuming spat out the grass in his mouth, stood up and clapped his hands, "This will make me really go, You can only do it yourself." After speaking, he waved his hand and jumped down from the side of the hillside.

Shen Yu took a deep breath, bowed three times to the mausoleum and left.

Just two days after the new emperor ascended the throne, in Prince Rui's mansion, Xiao Rui stood in front of the window and looked at a clump of bamboo in the yard with his hands behind his back.

"My lord." Master Song knocked on the door and came in, with a hint of hesitation in his tone, "I don't know what the Prime Minister said to the Crown Prince when he entered the palace today. I heard that the Royal Study Room has prepared a document to demote the Prime Minister and the common people."

"Understood." Xiao Rui stood still, knowing in his heart what his uncle said and did, and he took the blame for all his sins.No matter why Xiao Xuan didn't commit an additional crime, it was already a wake-up call for him.

Want to fight to the death?
