Chapter 614: The Wronged King Dies
In the early morning light, the people of the royal city got up early as usual, setting up stalls and opening shops.
When everyone was in harmony, they suddenly saw a signal flare rising into the sky from the direction of the palace. The royal guards gathered quickly from all directions and rushed towards the palace. The atmosphere was cold and murderous.
The people were instantly worried, and they eagerly watched and were extremely worried.
"Palace emergency flare! Someone is attacking the palace!"
"The palace is always heavily guarded. Who is so bold as to cause trouble there and force the palace to fire flares?!"
"Didn't they say a few months ago that the Dowager Princess had reunited with her relatives stranded in Middle-earth? Do you think it could be related to that person?"
"I don't know what's going on in the palace, but I hope nothing happens!"
At this moment, the palace was in chaos.
The screams of palace maids and eunuchs were everywhere.
The palace guards gathered and surrounded the king's bedroom. Murderous intent filled the air and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
The Queen Mother stood among the guards, her hairpin askew and her face pale. Her eyes were red and fierce. "Su Jiuni, Bai Yu! Hu Man and the Central Plains of Great Viet have no grudges against each other. What are you trying to do now? Quickly release the king! As long as the king is safe, I will forgive you for trespassing into the palace with the intention of assassinating him! Otherwise, I, Hu Man, will seek justice from the Emperor of Great Viet!"
"Let bygones be bygones? Seek justice?" A cold female voice came from the hall. In a moment, the Human King was grabbed by the neck and walked out of the hall step by step. On his left and right stood a man and a woman with cold expressions.
"Daiyue and the Hu Man have no hatred or grudges, and neither do I, Su Jiuni, and you, the Hu Man! But the Hu Man have offended me time and again! First, they kidnapped my godfather, and then they attacked and killed my master, General Yuan!" Tian Bao glared coldly at the Queen Mother, her tone even colder than her expression, "It was you, the Hu Man, who first sought out my Su Jiuni as an enemy! If you want to ask, you should ask whether I am willing to let it go!"
King Hu Man was being held by the throat, unable to resist at all. He could only force out a voice with difficulty, "Su Jiuni, you are confusing right and wrong and deliberately targeting me, Hu Man! It is true that we invited Bai Xiaofeng, but since he arrived at Hu Man, I have always treated him as a guest of honor, without any harshness! He didn't want to leave the palace on his own, it wasn't that I forbad him. I even asked you to come to the palace to pick him up several times. You know best that what I said is true! And the matter of attacking and killing the Dai Yue general is pure nonsense! I was completely unaware of this matter, and it was definitely not done by me, Hu Man!"
Bai Yu sneered, "General Yuan has disappeared since the attack! The bodies left behind at the scene of the fight, and the assassin had your Hu Man King's palace guard badge on him! We don't believe anything you say now, and we don't have time to play tricks on you! Seeing is believing, and the badge belongs to your Hu Man royal family, so I will confirm that it was you who did it!"
He turned to look at the Queen Mother, whose face was even paler. "I'll give you fifteen days. No matter what method you use, I want to hear from you that General Yuan is safe after fifteen days. Otherwise—"
He suddenly tightened his grip on the Human King's neck, his eyes fierce as he spoke each word, "I will use the Human King's skin as a war drum! I will wipe out the Humans!"
The feeling of suffocation surged up, and King Hu Man couldn't breathe. His face turned red and purple in an instant, his eyes bulged out, and he tried desperately to tear off the shackles on his neck with his hands, but he struggled in vain.
The Queen Mother had been holding on for a long time, and her emotions fluctuated greatly. It seemed as if all the strength in her body had been drained away. She sat on the ground with a pale face, looking very embarrassed.
She stared at the vicious look in the eyes of the young man and woman, unable to speak for a long time, her whole body trembling.
It is possible to wipe out the Hu barbarians with the current Dai Viet.
Bai Yu was not just talking nonsense.
The king's son has fallen into his hands. If the Dai Viet general Yuan Yao cannot be made to appear safely within fifteen days, the Hu people will be in danger.
But where could she find Yuan Yao?
Yuan Yao was not attacked randomly at all. Someone was framing him behind the scenes!
If she wants to save Yuan Yao, she must first find out the mastermind behind it. Fifteen days... She only has fifteen days, which is not enough!
The border of Vietnam where Yuan Yao was stationed was far away from the Human King's City. Even if a pigeon was sent as quickly as possible to send a letter, it would take at least fifteen days to go back and forth!
Bai Yu and Su Jiuni were convinced that this was Hu Man's doing, and the time given to her was only enough to pass on the message!
Who on earth is doing this evil thing behind the scenes to bring disaster to her Hu Man royal family and to Hu Man?
When she finds that man, she will cut him into pieces!
The palace gate was blocked by a crowd of people.
In addition to the palace guards who were ready to strike with their swords drawn, there were also many trembling palace maids and eunuchs.
The Queen Mother also rushed over upon hearing the news. Supported by the palace maids, she stood behind the Queen Mother, looking at the scene in panic, but there was an unknown pleasure hidden in her eyes.
"We will take King Hu Man away first. Fifteen days later, the Queen Mother will come to the gate of the royal city to pick him up, or to pick up his body!" Tian Bao glanced at him indifferently, and he and Bai Yu carried King Hu Man away, and ignored the guards who surrounded them.
The archers in position did not dare to move, for fear of accidentally injuring the king.
Everyone in the palace could only watch as the king was abducted, and no one knew when Su Jiuni and Bai Yu sneaked into the palace and entered the king's bedroom.
…
A small wooden house one mile outside the royal city.
The house was simple and had been vacant for who knew how long. There were spider webs in every corner of the roof.
The house was furnished with only basic furniture. King Hu Man sat on an old wooden chair with a missing back next to the table. He looked at the people sitting at the same table with him. His face turned from ashen to surprised, and finally stiff, with a speechless expression.
"Acting?!" He didn't know how to react when these two words fell into his ears. "You entered the palace and kidnapped me, are you putting on a show?!"
He was almost strangled to death!
The Queen Mother was even scared to death! At this moment, she must be racking her brains to figure out how to rescue Yuan Yao and find the real mastermind behind this so that she can get him back!
So what had he just heard? Bai Yu said that today's incident was just an act?
Bai Yu pretended not to notice the Hu Man King's face turning grim again and smiled, "In order to appear genuine and avoid suspicion from those watching from the dark, we didn't explain the situation to His Majesty before we acted. We apologize for frightening you. For the next ten days, I'll have to inconvenience you by having to stay here."
The Hu Man King struggled to suppress the rage threatening to burst forth, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and offered a twisted smile. "I was indeed frightened, but I understand. The more realistic the performance, the better the effect. But I have a question. Since you know that General Yuan's ambush had nothing to do with the Hu Man, what will you do to me if there is no good news from there in fifteen days?"
Before Bai Yu could answer, Bai Xiaofeng rested one hand on the table, his chin lazily supported, and glanced at him lightly, saying, "Then we can only let the king die again."
"……"hehe.
Bai Xiaofeng is vindictive and his reputation is well-deserved.
I’ve seen it!
