Chapter 97: Wise Decision(2/2)
Xing Tiane took two steps forward unhurriedly and approached King Xia, with a bright smile on his face: "Your Majesty said that it was worth discussing, but what exactly did you mean to discuss? As the son of the Shang clan leader, Shang Tang , is a friend of the Ninth Prince, but there is no problem with his identity. However, can the son of the Shang clan leader mobilize the city guards in Anyi City? Who would believe what Shang Tang said? Who would believe Lu Is Gui really attacked outside the city? Besides Xia Jie, a friend of Shang Tang, who will lead people to rescue Lu Gui?"
"Hey, father, what you said makes no sense." Lu Gui laughed angrily at the side: "If Shang Tang really goes to the city guards for help, I am afraid that I, Lu Gui, will die faster. The city guards
Who is the lieutenant? He is still locked up in the mansion. Hey, will his uncle come to save me? "
King Xia slapped Lu Gui away, then nodded to Xing Tian'e with a smile on his face and said, "So, when Shang Tang asked Xia Jie for help, this was how it should have been?"
Xing Tiane nodded seriously: "That's indeed the case. The city guards don't dare to leave Anyi privately."
"In this way, your Xing Tian family has nothing to do with Lao Jiu." King Xia looked at Lu Gui, who was getting up with his face covered, and then at Xing Tian'e.
Xing Tiane opened his eyes wide in surprise, pointed at King Xia angrily and said angrily: "My lord, what do you mean by this? Could it be that your lord has forgotten that according to the oaths sworn by our ancestors of the major witch families and our ancestor King Dayu in the past?
Ci, we and other major witch families will never interfere with the royal power of the Great Xia Royal Court? Have our Xingtian family ever done such sneaky tricks behind the scenes for so many years? Who among the major witch families doesn’t know that this royal power change
Do only the Witch Palace and the Royal Palace have the right to resolve this matter? Your Majesty’s words really surprised me, Xing Tiane.”
King Xia frowned, pointed at Xia Jie and asked: "Then, why did Xia Jie go to rescue Lu Gui?" After going in such a big circle, King Xia finally brought the question back to the point he was most concerned about: He
He didn't care at all who Lu Gui was assassinated or whether he was killed. What he cared about was whether people from the four major witch families and even other major witch families participated in the struggle for royal power. This was a major event that might threaten his own dominance. He
I've been wondering about this for so long, and finally I have to ask this question.
With wide eyes, Xia Jie felt a burst of anger in his heart. He stepped forward and shouted loudly: "What the king said makes no sense! Even if a tooth wolf on the roadside has its legs broken, if it is a tamed tooth wolf, I will
Xia Jie needs to be treated well, let alone a human being? I have a relationship with Shang Tang. When I first came to Anyi City, I was provoked by Xiang Liu's family. Prince Zeng Mengjiu said that I owed him a favor here.
Why can't I, Xia Jie, save him?"
Yellow light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Although I, Xia Jie, am a barbarian from the south, I also understand the laws of nature and human relations, family principles, and even more, the benevolence and righteousness of a loving father and a filial son. When the king saw that his son was assassinated,
But he didn't care, he just bothered with some trivial matters, just because he was afraid that Lu Gui would collude with the Xingtian family and might threaten the king's throne. This is simply ridiculous! It simply loses all the principles of heaven. Isn't this such a ruthless and unjust thing?
Will everyone in the world be afraid?"
Xing Tiane's face suddenly turned pale. Xia Jie's words were too harsh. Although Xing Tiane also disapproved of King Xia's behavior, how could he, who was so cunning and cunning, say Xia Jie's words without leaving any room for error?
Come?
King Xia's face turned blue for a while, his eyes were blazing with anger, and he took a step forward towards Xia Jie. His beard and hair were spread out, and his eyes were round, as if he wanted to swallow Xia Jie alive.
"Well, Your Majesty, I think Xia Jie is right." Qi Xin held up Bai Bai's tail, which had shrunk to a height of only about a foot, and twirled poor Bai around in her hands, suddenly and
Xia Jie stood side by side: "You have wasted too much time. How can we have time to accompany you to deal with these household chores? Even I can see it. The person who ordered Lu Gui to be assassinated must be one of his brothers. Find him and kill him."
Just drop it, why are you so secretive?"
What Qi Xin said was a bit more unscrupulous than Xia Jie: "If your treatment is fair, your Majesty, kill the prince who colluded with the Hu Jie people to assassinate his brother. If your treatment is unfair, your Majesty, just kill Lu Gui to save the trouble."
One day Lu Gui was assassinated again, and Xia Jie was asked to rescue him, which caused Xia Jie to get into trouble."
King Xia looked at Qi Xin dumbfounded, completely speechless. What else could he say? Qi Xin, whose heart was as quiet as a lake, said whatever came to mind, but these few words made Xia Xin
Wang Tui was in an extremely embarrassing situation. What could he do? Kill Lu Gui? Lu Gui was his most capable son, how could he kill him? Kill those sons who ordered people to assassinate Lu Gui? But before he died, he still
We have to rely on these useless sons to contain Lu Gui, but how can we kill him?
After a long time, King Xia suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and shouted loudly: "Come here, bring those assassins alive! Let me see who instigated what they did this time." He was completely convinced.
He had forgotten Xia Jie's offense to him just now. Even if King Xia remembered it, he would quickly forget it. What else could he do? Others don't know Li Wu Qixin, how could he not know him? He is one of the nine masters of the Great Xia Witch Cult.
Not to mention that Li Wu was protecting Xia Jie, there was an even more untouchable person behind Xia Jie, and King Xia didn't want a few more bruises on his face.
Lu Gui laughed "hehehehe", he saluted King Xia repeatedly and said: "Please father, please uphold justice. If the child suffers such injustice again, there is no guarantee that he will do anything." With a fierce light,
A flash passed through Lu Gui's eyes, but no one except Xia Jie, who was standing opposite him, saw his fierce gaze.
Xingtian Dafeng squeezed out of the crowd dejectedly and weakly replied to King Xia: "Your Majesty, most of those assassins were killed on the spot. Although there were three or five prisoners, they all died of injuries just now because of their excessive injuries.
They are dead. I’m afraid, there is no way to find out their leader.”
Xia Jie nodded as if he suddenly understood, and pulled Qi Xin, who was looking impatient, back into the crowd. King Xia's face was slightly happy, and he suddenly shouted: "What? The assassins are all dead? Xingtian Dafeng, what are you doing?
Why? Why can't anyone be kept alive? Don't you know that such a big matter requires a living person to inquire clearly?" He was yelling and cursing, but King Xia threw a meaningful look at Xing Tian'e.
After a glance, he seemed to be very grateful to Xing Tiane for this arrangement.
Xingtian Dafeng sighed deeply in his heart, and fell to his knees on the ground with a plop: "It's Xingtian Dafeng who is incompetent, please punish me."
Over there, before the dumbfounded Lu Gui had time to speak, Panju and Zhu, who suddenly showed ecstatic expressions on their faces, had already taken a few steps forward and persuaded loudly: "Father, although Lieutenant Xingtian Dafeng did not leave any survivors,
No wonder he was there, after all, they were trying to save Lao Jiu’s life. This time they saved Lao Jiu, and their merits outweighed their faults at last, so please don’t pursue the case, Father.”
"Father, this, this, this, this, you are so unfair." Lu Gui was so angry that his lips trembled, and he pointed at King Xia and was about to yell angrily.
Xing Tian'e and Fang Fengyi suddenly and calmly flashed to Lu Gui's side. The two masters took action to restrain Lu Gui at the same time, not only making him unable to move, but also making him unable to make a sound.
Looking at Lu Gui, he nodded and said: "The Ninth Prince is too frightened and should take a good rest. Your Majesty, don't you think so? Wait until the Ninth Prince has rested in a few days and then let him lead the army into battle. The Ninth Prince is a fierce general.
It would be a pity to stay in Anyi City."
Pan Kui suddenly jumped up: "Lead the army to fight? Where to go? My father agreed yesterday. It is my responsibility to lead the army to attack the Dongyi people."
The muscles on King Xia's face trembled for a while. He looked at Lu Gui, whose face was distorted and his eyes were burning with anger. He nodded slowly: "That's it. From the army of Wang Ling's subordinates who stayed in Anyi City, the four armies were mobilized, together with the troops under Pan Gu's command.
Part of the army, gather together the strength of the Tenth Army, and let Lu Gui take him to Eastern Xinjiang."
The corners of Pan Yi's eyes twitched and he shouted loudly: "Father, what are you doing?"
Too lazy to look at Pan Kui, King Xia pondered: "Where is the new Anyi order?"
A middle-aged man of medium height with an unremarkable appearance, steady steps, and an upright look walked out of the crowd, saluted King Xia and said, "Guan Longfeng, the commander of Anyi, is here."
King Xia glanced at Guan Longfeng and casually ordered: "The Ninth Prince was attacked outside Anyi City, but the assassin did not leave anyone alive. I will leave this matter to you to investigate. If it turns out that it is indeed related to Dongyi and Hu Jie
, so he issued a document asking them to hand over the master’s messenger.”
Guan Longfeng, the commander of Anyi, looked at King Xia, spread his hands and said calmly: "I can't do anything about it."
The King of Xia frowned and shouted angrily: "You are the order of Anyi, so what do you mean you are unable to do anything? Are you still a minister of the Royal Court of Daxia?"
Guan Longfeng looked at King Xia without any fear and sneered: "It is not difficult to investigate this matter. There are not many Hu Jie and Dongyi people in Zhongzhou. But there is no one in the official residence of An Yiling.
, with no money, no weapons, and only dozens of civilian officials, I am afraid that the first person to die will be me, Guan Longfeng."
'Gah', Xia Jie looked carefully and again at the famous Guan Longfeng. He finally understood why after the previous Anyi Ling was beheaded, the person in front of him would take over this position. Indeed, Guan Longfeng
Long Feng is very courageous, and he is very orderly and measured in his actions. He is a practical person. To be precise, what his Anyi Ling deals with on weekdays is all the trivial matters in Anyi City, including the big cats and kittens in the mansion.
There are dozens of civil servants and only about a hundred officers and men with armed forces. How can they investigate such a serious case of assassinating a prince?
"Is this so?" King Xia pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "That's very good. I just had an idea today, and I took the opportunity to realize it. Guan Longfeng, I grant you the right to open a mansion.
From now on, you, the Anyi Ling, will be in the same position as the Wang Ling Zhi Division, and will be in charge of patrols and inspections inside and outside Anyi City. You have no one under you, but it is easy, so you will transfer two armies from Pan Kui's subordinates and temporarily place them under your subordinates.
What do you think?"
The expressions of the people present moved slightly, but the faces of the officials from the City Guards and the Administrative Department all turned ugly. Isn't this just for the sake of having a powerful yamen alongside them? Anyi used to embarrass this person.
Although there was no official position in Anyi City, there was no authority at all. As for Panju, who had been continuously deprived of military power by the king of Xia, his face was pale and he could not say a word for a long time.
Xia Jie looked at Pan Ju's pale face and just shook his head repeatedly. The eldest prince of Daxia was so stupid. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that the matter of sending people to assassinate Lu Gui was related to him. King Xia was such a violent and suspicious person.
, how can we tolerate a son who can kill his own brother holding too much military power? If Panyi doesn’t completely remove the power, I’m afraid he still has to check and balance Lugui. Otherwise, Panyi will be killed today.
Removed from all power and claustrophobic.
Seeing the shocked and horrified looks in the eyes of everyone present, King Xia burst into laughter with great pride. He asked Lu Gui: "Lao Jiu, are you satisfied with your father's arrangement?"
Long Feng is a capable person. He can naturally find out for you who sent someone to assassinate you. But your father doesn't believe it. How could it be someone sent by your brother? After all, you are still brothers.
"Boss, what do you think?" King Xia glanced at Pan Kui and snorted coldly.
Panju just lowered his head and smiled bitterly, speechless. Behind him, Pan's eyes were already darting around, wondering what kind of evil idea he was thinking.
Seeing that the King of Xia had made a stupid calculation and covered up such a big thing as Lu Gui's assassination, he also gave Lu Gui a part of his military power and asked him to lead people to attack Dongyi. The storm was about to disappear.
When he was little, a pitiful howl suddenly came from the palace gate.
"Help! Master, help!"
A strong man wearing blue armor had dozens of wounds all over his body. He covered the wound on his left arm with his right hand, and rushed in with blood dripping all the way.
As the big man ran, he howled in an extremely sad voice: "Master, the eldest prince, I don't know whose private army surrounded the eldest prince's village, killing people and setting fire there! The eldest prince, your favorite women,
They chopped them all into pieces! Poor my brothers, they were cursed to death before they even got close to them."
Panjiu's expression changed drastically, and she made a few "gurgles" in her throat, and howled crazily: "Father, please send troops to rescue quickly."
"Haha, haha, hahahaha!"
Here, Lu Gui broke away from Xing Tiane and Fang Fengyi's hands and laughed loudly. He looked at King Xia and said ferociously: "Father, isn't this fair? The child's six hundred guards died tragically.
You have to get some interest back? If your father is dissatisfied with your child's reckless behavior, please kill him!"
The scene went cold for a while, and Xing Tiane and other Prime Ministers, Prime Ministers, and Fourth Dukes all looked horrified. Isn't this Lu Gui's revenge method too cruel and quick?
King Xia was silent for a while. After a long time, he chuckled: "Let's forget about today's matter. From now on, no one is allowed to pursue today's matter. A few people died, what does it mean?
Panyi, Lugui, you all go back. After a few days, when the army has rested, you can lead the army to Eastern Xinjiang. I, my king, am very tired today."
After saying that, King Xia no longer paid any attention to Pan Kui who was crying and crying on the ground. He smiled "haha" and walked towards the inner palace with his hands behind his back.
Xia Jie's face was dull and he glanced at Qi Xin blankly. But he saw that Qi Xin was also confused and looked at him blankly. This King Xia is really, really indescribable!
