Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 89 Flattery (3)

Lin Ancao was frightened by the wind, and the general drew his bow at night.

On the edge of the Great Chu, in a barren and wild land, horses are like flying, and soldiers are like gods.

The figure on the cavalry was dressed in night clothes, his head was slightly lowered, and his face was in the shadows.

"There are assassins!" There was a long cry, and the barracks was in chaos.

Iron hooves, sword light, sword shadows, fight to pieces!

In a moment, the soldiers were defeated, throwing away their helmets and armor, and fled in a hurry.

"Come on, don't catch this assassin!" King Wu Ning shouted.

The sword is like flowing light, one kill in ten steps, and a dozen more people fell in the blink of an eye.

"Who are you?" King Wuning was shocked.

Among the heavily guarded hundreds of thousands of Chu troops, there was someone who could shuttle freely, and that person seemed to be aiming at King Wu Ning.

powerful!The strength of the assassin shocked King Wuning and all the soldiers.

Their wave after wave of attacks was like a mantis' arm, unable to stop the assassin's footsteps at all.

If the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha, the god should kill the god.

The assassin's method was beyond everyone's expectations, and it was too shocking. When did Rong Di, Wu, and Wei countries produce such talents!

A series of "stop him for me" orders spewed out from King Wu Ning's mouth continuously, and the military orders cannot be violated, but the soldiers who rushed forward were swallowed by the assassin's sword in a blink of an eye.

Terrible, is this still human?

"Hurry up and ask the general to come over!" King Wu Ning finally struggled.

The so-called general was Xiao Shu, because of the discord between the two, King Wu Ning divided his troops and stationed in Xiao Shu's rear together.

Such evil stars, devils, who are not afraid of the surging soldiers at all, who want to block the sword for King Wu Ning, no matter how many come, they will fall!
In an instant, all the generals centered on King Wu Ning were in chaos!

Raising his head, King Wu Ning looked at the black-clothed assassin, and his heart trembled fiercely.

Those eyes are calm and far away, as if they are not stained by this world of mortals at all, but it is also such a person, his actions will never return empty-handed, and the sword is better than death!

"You dare to kill me?" King Wu Ning uttered a voice coldly, as if he had no fear of this unexpected guest.

The person buried behind the black cloth moved slightly, but then rolled up the sword in his hand again, swung the sword, and several people fell down in an instant.

The people around King Wu Ning were dead, wounded, and completely defeated. However, the soldiers on the periphery had already been terrified by the assassin's methods, and they blamed each other, but no one dared to approach them.

"I am King Wu Ning! The prince of Da Chu!" King Wu Ning spit out a voice in horror, his eyes widened, as if he wanted to scare the assassin.

"I killed the prince of Dachu, you, King Wuning!" The assassin said indifferently, and then replied: "If you don't die, Dachu will never have peace!"

King Wu Ning's expression trembled, the assassin obviously wanted to tell him that I was coming for you, and I was the one who killed you, and Da Chu would be at peace only after killing you.

Facing the assassin whose intentions were obvious, King Wu Ning sighed, and then smiled: "Who sent you here, Your Majesty? Kill me, and my 20 army will be defeated from now on. By then , it is easy for Rongdi to attack the city and seize the land, is this what you mean by peace?"

Hearing that King Wu Ning moved Rong Di out, the assassin's heart trembled slightly.

The purpose of this trip is to kill King Wu Ning, as for what will happen to the 20 army he said, the assassin doesn't want to think about it.

"Your Majesty?" The assassin smiled, calmly, as if he had heard a great joke: "With you as a mere prince, it would be easy for the stupid king to kill you. Besides, did the stupid king make me move? Kill me!" You, because you blocked my way!"

King Wu Ning's eyes trembled, he was completely unaware of when this force appeared in Da Chu again, and the spearhead of this force was directed at him King Wu Ning.

There was a chill in his heart, his eyes flickered, and King Wu Ning's eyes looked at the assassin on the opposite side again, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

However, the assassin didn't even look at King Wu Ning. With a movement of his body, he instantly crossed the heavy blockade in front of him, and stood in front of King Wu Ning in a blink of an eye.

This scene made King Wu Ning's heart twitch violently again!
Facing the assassin alone at this moment, King Wu Ning only felt a chill in his heart. It was a substantive murderous intent, the indifference and ruthlessness that can only be felt after killing countless people!

As soon as the footsteps were stepped out, a murderous intent bloomed on his body, the footsteps moved slightly, and the assassin approached King Wu Ning step by step, as if for a thousand years, but in a moment.

"Don't come here again!" King Wu Ning's face was stiff, livid, and he would definitely die if he went on like this.

"Are you afraid? It's already too late. If you stay in your nest and don't come out, we won't attack you so soon!" the assassin said lightly, his voice was cold but murderous.

With the sword in his right hand, the sword energy soared into the sky, covering King Wu Ning's body, and the sword energy pierced through the wrinkled skin like a wrinkled skin, and the intense stinging pain began to spread immediately.

On the face of King Wu Ning, there appeared an expression that can only be seen in old age, a crowd of lords competing for the throne, and finally it was a bad move!If he had calculated one step earlier, today's disaster would not have occurred.

As if seeing that his country was about to be handed over to others, King Wu Ning showed a ferocious face and clenched his old fists.

"Are you waiting for Xiao Shu?" The assassin looked at the twinkling eyes of King Wu Ning, and uttered a voice indifferently. Then, his footsteps trembled, his body shot out in the air, and he rushed directly towards King Wu Ning, "He won't do this Come quickly! Because, he also wants you to die!"

"Bastard! You are talking nonsense!" King Wu Ning roared in a deep voice, and then his head dropped, as if agreeing with what the assassin said.

If he hadn't held a heavy army, the king of Chu would have smashed him to pieces, not to mention his subjects.

When he was distracted, countless sword lights appeared in the air, enveloping King Wu Ning in all directions.

"what--"

After a shrill scream, the hearts of the surrounding soldiers trembled. King Wu Ning must be dead.

Turning around suddenly, a cold smile flashed in the assassin's eyes, and then he swung his long sword, stabbing at his chest...

"Who killed King Wu Ning?" Xiao Shu, who came in a hurry, was full of anger and shock.

"General, it's this assassin. After he killed King Wu Ning, he killed himself!" King Wu Ning's lieutenant said with lingering fear on his face.

"It's a good job to place the body of King Wuning, and send it back to the imperial capital immediately!" Xiao Shu's face did not show a trace of sadness because of the death of King Wuning.

Immediately, Xiao Shufu said again: "King Wuning is dead, and you are the army of the Great Chu. You should unite as one and join me in defeating Rongdi!"

"Dare not to follow orders!" The soldiers responded in unison, with high morale, which was quite different from King Wuning's original expectation of becoming a mess.

"King Wu Ning was killed in battle! He is a model for my generation!" Xiao Shu raised his arms and shouted a sentence that did not match the facts.

"Yes! King Wu Ning died in battle!" In the eyes of the soldiers, Xiao Shu said this as the greatest respect for King Wu Ning. As the original subordinate of King Wu Ning, they naturally echoed and shouted.

However, regarding the death of King Wu Ning, Xiao Shu was not only shocked, but also worried.

Just now when the soldiers came to ask for help, Xiao Shu deliberately slowed down the journey. If he had been a little faster, the current King Wu Ning might not have died.However, who was the one who killed King Wu Ning? Why did he dare to say that the current emperor is a fool before he died?
For a while, doubts abounded.Xiao Shu didn't dare to think about it any more, and quickly summoned the soldiers and horses of the former Wuning King's Department to merge with him.

Afterwards, Xiao Shu immediately repaired a letter and sent it to the imperial capital in eight hundred miles in an expedited manner!
In the imperial study room, Xiao Yi held the information sent by the Message Pavilion in his hand: King Wu Ning is dead!
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, since King Wu Ning died, his soldiers and horses would be merged with his brother-in-law, and it would be just around the corner to repel Rong Di.

"Come here, Prime Minister Xuan enters the palace!" Xiao Yi shouted to the door happily.

"Yes!"

Presumably, Mo Yanxiao must have breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news that King Wu Ning was dead. For the sake of King Wu Ning, the sick prime minister of Da Chu would vomit blood all the time, thinking of a different place. Do everything possible to think about how to deal with King Wuning.Now that King Wu Ning is dead, it is estimated that in the past few days, he will be able to vomit less blood.

"Your Majesty, General Xiao hurry up and report within [-] miles!" During the battle, anyone who has important military information can face Jun Yan directly. The little eunuch ran in three steps at a time, blushing and panting heavily. Handed over the booklet.

"Hey, my brother-in-law is pretty quick. Is he taking credit for reporting to me in such a hurry? Hahaha!" Xiao Yi said to himself and laughed heartily.

However, when Xiao Yi opened the booklet sent by Xiao Shu, the rippling smile on his face froze, and his expression darkened instantly: King Wu Ning is dead, and it was caused by unknown forces. Now the army has merged into one place. And can defeat Rongdi and regain the border of Dachu!
It is the same as the news sent by the News Pavilion, and there is no discrepancy. On the contrary, it is more detailed, which can be described as great news!
However, Xiao Yi looked at the extra words on it: "It was done by unknown forces", and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. This is an emotion that makes even the emperor feel uncomfortable, or in other words, uneasy.

Originally, Xiao Yi thought that the death of King Wu Ning was caused by Xiao Shu in secret. After all, Xiao Yi once wrote a letter from the secretary, indicating that Xiao Shu could wait for the opportunity to get rid of King Wu Ning, but he didn't want someone else to do it.

Reminiscent of the unknown forces that have appeared in the territory of Great Chu during this period, Xiao Yi's uneasiness suddenly increased a bit.

"Your Majesty, what's the point of summoning your ministers into the palace?" Mo Yanxiao was neither humble nor overbearing, and there was no trace of emotion in his tone.

"Look at this brochure!" Xiao Yi lowered his eyebrows, and said calmly, unable to tell what was in his mind.

"Yes!"

"Dead? Dead!" Mo Yanxiao said suspiciously but affirmatively.

"Master Mo, you can rest assured now! King Wu Ning is dead, you don't have to worry about it all day long!" Xiao Yi smiled from ear to ear, ran to Mo Yanxiao's side, and patted A few strokes of the back.

"Cough cough--" Mo Yanxiao coughed a few times, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Hey, Master Mo, in your opinion, what should we do next?" Xiao Yi looked at Mo Yanxiao teasingly, and Xiao Yi had the look of a white-eyed wolf with a superficial smile.

"What the emperor says is what it is." Could it be that Mo Yanxiao resented Xiao Yi for slapping him on the back just now, so he stopped talking pettyly.

"Master Mo, hurry up, or you won't be able to go home for dinner today!" He simply played a rogue, anyway, not once or twice, Xiao Yi simply blacked out all the way to the end.

"The emperor wants Liu Chen to eat in the palace?"

Looking at Mo Yanxiao's begging face, Xiao Yi knew that he was defeated again this time. If Mo Yanxiao didn't want to say it, even if you pried his mouth open, you wouldn't be able to dig out a word. .

Waving his hand, indicating "You can kneel down now", Mo Yanxiao bowed slightly and left.

After Mo Yanxiao left, a wry smile appeared on Xiao Yi's face, and only Mo Yanxiao would let him come and go as soon as he was called. His dilapidated body must have been very hard all the way to this imperial study. But in the end, just "chat with the emperor for a few words, you can kneel down", and then have to work hard all the way back.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi couldn't help muttering to himself: "Master Mo, I'm really sorry, but who made me a fool!"

After saying this, he looked out the window and suddenly fell into deep thought.

Why do you act so calmly, aren't you surprised that King Wuning is dead?

Why didn't you let me check that force? Didn't you find the words "it was done by an unknown force"?

Does that force have anything to do with you?
Did you arrange the death of King Wuning?
"Come here, tell the world that King Wu Ning took the lead and died in battle, so he will be treated generously with a state funeral!" Compared to just now, Xiao Yi's words to the eunuch at the door seemed so reluctant.

However, he had to do this unwillingly, so that the 20 army that originally followed King Wu Ning could be firmly captured by Xiao Shu, so it was worth it!
