Chapter 167
Poisoning
It is the duty of those in high positions to protect the country and the people. However, if the country is rebellious and the people are disloyal, what is the point of devoting one's whole life to protecting them?
What he wants is unity of purpose!
There was a lot of movement in the wing room, with constant noises and screams, the evil spirit and rage were surging, and the force of the collision was getting stronger and stronger.
even.
When Liu Xiang wasn't paying attention, he rushed over recklessly and tore off one of his ears.
"ah."
The tearing pain made Liu Xiang's face change drastically. When he raised his hand to drive away the evil spirit and covered his ears, blood instantly gushed out from between his fingers.
Upon seeing this, the two masters hurried forward and protected Liu Xiang behind them.
But how could the evil spirits, having tasted the sweetness, give up? The smell of blood made them crazy. Several groups immediately gathered into one ball and continued to rush towards them while roaring.
They were extremely ferocious and impatient. Even though Liu Xiang and his men had made sufficient preparations, they couldn't help but feel afraid at this moment.
Shen Liuguang took advantage of the moment of fear in their hearts, and like a shadow, he flew to their side and chopped them down in one fell swoop, weakening the protective formation instantly.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhaoying outside the door bit her finger and flicked her blood towards the room.
When the blood bead rushed to the door, it seemed to hit a barrier. There was a clang, and the evil spirit that could not get in behind it swept past Jiang Zhaoying and rushed into the room unscrupulously.
The power increased suddenly.
The evil energy quickly turned into strands that wrapped around the masters' necks, dragging them in the air and throwing them around. In a short while, all their energy was sucked out and they fell to the ground, unable to get up.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I beg Miss Jiang to have mercy on me and let me go. I will never dare to do it again."
Someone struggled to climb onto the door and stretched out his hand to beg for mercy towards Jiang Zhaoying in pain.
Jiang Zhaoying slowly took two steps forward. The master looked at the skirt in front of him with hope in his eyes. A ball of black air brushed across her skirt and rushed into his eyes. The master covered his eyes and howled in pain.
soon.
One of his eyes was clear, but the other was surrounded by black air. When he raised his head and knelt in front of Jiang Zhaoying, his whole body looked strange.
The black energy was so excited that it kept drilling deep into his eyes, causing him so much pain that it felt like his head was being split open.
This moment.
He knew that only Jiang Zhaoying could save him.
Ignoring the severe pain, he knelt down and kowtowed in front of Jiang Zhaoying.
"I was wrong, Miss Jiang. From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Jiang Zhaoying shook her head with a cold face.
"What I hate most is this kind of afterthought. Why didn't you do it earlier?"
Sometimes.
These villains are really funny too.
When they have done all the bad things, they are complacent and think they are very great; but once they are exposed and know they are going to die, they begin to beg for mercy humbly.
If anyone has a bit of backbone and is willing to die for his country, she would respect him as a man.
The man covered his corroded eyes and screamed in despair. Soon he fell to the ground and stood still. In just a moment, his whole body turned black and turned into a dried object.
All the masters were wiped out, the formation was crumbling, and no one could protect Prime Minister Liu.
The evil spirits were lined up in rows, reaching up to the roof, and the leader was even floating in front of Prime Minister Liu with a bit of pride.
Liu Xiang bared his teeth as he looked at Jiang Zhaoying, disappointment and hostility appearing in his eyes.
Many years ago.
He was disappointed with Rong Linghui.
Many years later.
He was equally disappointed with Jiang Zhaoying.
Why do these two people want to go against me?
"The opportunity has come, what are you waiting for?"
As soon as the words fell.
The evil spirit rushed towards Liu Xiang.
The black fog surrounded Liu Xiang tightly, and he could hear Liu Xiang groaning in pain from inside.
Jiang Zhaoying watched coldly.
She wanted to wait a little longer, and use weapons only when she was left with no other options, and it would be best if she could leave no traces.
However.
The sudden scene before her surprised her.
"Hahaha."
The moment the laughter came out, a surge of violence surged in Liu Xiang's body, and then the moment he spread his arms, all the evil spirits were knocked towards the wall.
"You never expected that?"
Half of Liu Xiang's body was covered in blood, but he didn't care at all. He patted his chest and laughed wildly. He approached Jiang Zhaoying step by step, raised his hand and tore off his outer robe, revealing the dragon robe underneath.
Dragon robe?
Jiang Zhaoying frowned and took a step back.
He actually wore a real dragon robe?
Moreover, this dragon robe was worn by the emperor, so it is protected by dragon energy. The evil energy can at most hurt him, but it cannot really take his life.
Prime Minister Liu looked at the charred corpses lying all over the place in front of him, and the pride in his eyes made him feel elated.
"How dare you..."
He actually dared to wear the emperor's dragon robe, and the dragon robe was missing, but the emperor didn't even find out. This can only mean that the emperor also has people like Prime Minister Liu around him who can replace the dragon robe he wore without anyone noticing.
"What are you afraid of?"
Liu Xiang approached Jiang Zhaoying, the smile in his eyes filled with creepy murderous intent.
"He can be the emperor, but I can't?"
Jiang Zhaoying retreated without saying a word.
Until he was forced into the courtyard by Prime Minister Liu.
She exchanged glances with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the roof, and then the Crown Prince flew down with the sword in his hand drawn.
Prime Minister Liu slowly turned his head and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"I have planted an accomplice in the palace. As soon as the news of my death spreads, someone will assassinate the emperor, and the border will also be unstable. Your Highness, do you have the ability to pacify the border and stabilize the court?"
Of course there is more to it than that.
In order to prevent himself from dying quietly, he made a lot of arrangements.
"What's the problem?"
Since the evil spirit cannot devour him, they can only kill him. This is the only good opportunity they have found recently.
The prince's figure flashed in front of Prime Minister Liu like the wind, and the two began to fight.
Liu Xiang was anxious and hurriedly put the finger flute hanging around his neck to his lips and blew it. Jiang Zhaoying looked at him and sneered.
"I'm afraid they have been waiting to protect you on the road to the underworld, Prime Minister Liu. The people who are looking for you to settle accounts are getting impatient, so it would be a good idea to send more people to you."
"You should give an explanation to the Wen family."
At the moment when the prince and Shen Liuguang were restraining Liu Xiang, Jiang Zhaoying picked up the weapons thrown on the ground by the masters at her feet and stabbed them fiercely towards Liu Xiang's heart.
As blood gushed out, the torn dragon robe lost its function, and the evil spirits rushed into his body in the blink of an eye through his wounds.
Liu Xiang bared his teeth, his eyes full of disbelief!
The vitality in his body was rapidly fading. He began to stagger and become weak. He felt a sharp pain in his heart. Everything was telling...
He is going to die!
Covering his wound, he stumbled backwards and leaned against the wall. While gasping for breath, he looked at Jiang Zhaoying.
"I've never been afraid of death, but I didn't expect that the person who would kill me would be you."
The pain intensified and his breathing became more and more irregular. Liu Xiang looked at Jiang Zhaoying unwillingly and kept muttering.
"I shouldn't have treated her like that. I have regretted it for so many years. I used everyone to the extreme, even at the cost of wiping out the entire Wen family. But the only one who made me regret and feel heartbroken was her. If I hadn't done those things, you would be my daughter with her, and my Liu family would definitely become the only aristocratic family in Daye."
"Why did she treat me like that? She actually chose Jiang Zhenggan to leave me. She obviously married him out of spite, but why did she give birth to children for him? Why did she die so resolutely and not want to have anything to do with me anymore?"
Speaking of.
His body gradually slumped down, his breathing became more and more rapid, his breath became weaker and weaker, and his originally handsome face now turned pale. Looking up at the gloomy sky, he suddenly smiled.
"Okay, I'll go find her and ask her."
Gently stroking his lips, Liu Xiang's expression gradually became lonely again.
"On the day we got engaged, she kissed me."
That day, her smile made the whole world lose its color, and she was all in his eyes and heart.
He looked at her.
When turning your head.
She stood on tiptoe and placed a kiss on his lips.
He was stunned.
Until now.
He still remembered how his heart was pounding and how the tips of his ears felt hot.
"laugh."
Another sword pierced his abdomen. Xu Zhiyan, who had rushed over, stabbed the sword into his body with his own hands, then pulled it out while turning over.
Liu Xiang's body suddenly leaned forward and he raised his head with difficulty. He looked at Xu Zhiyan with confusion in his eyes.
There has never been any conflict between the Liu and Wen families, so what is he doing?
Xu Zhiyan held the hilt of the sword, stepped forward and whispered in his ear. Liu Xiang was instantly shocked and looked at Xu Zhiyan in disbelief. When he got excited, he wanted to say something, but in the end he just stared and stopped.
Xu Zhiyan looked coldly at Liu Xiang, the once invincible enemy.
The sword in his hand was raised.
"Second Brother."
Seeing this, Jiang Zhaoying hurriedly stepped forward to stop his action, and then the two of them made way. The evil spirit had been waiting impatiently and rushed into Liu Xiang's body.
soon.
Liu Xiang turned into the same dry and black appearance as everyone else.
Xu Zhiyan brought people to search the entire Liu Mansion. Seeing the corpses everywhere, his heart was as cold as ice. Such a death could not compare to the blood that flowed like a river in the Wen Mansion back then, nor could it compare to the innocence of the young son of the Wen Mansion back then! !
"Second Senior Brother, there must be a secret room in this mansion, which is used to store the tributes he collected and the things in the Wen Mansion. When the mansion is raided, you and Cui Hexun come together, and he will let you take all the things in the Wen Mansion away."
All the evidence has been handed over to the Emperor. The court officials under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will take the opportunity to write a letter to the Emperor, saying that the Liu Mansion has fallen and they cannot escape the confiscation of their property. They can also take the opportunity to collect all the property of the Liu Mansion into the national treasury. As long as Prime Minister Liu's body wearing a dragon robe is carried into the palace, the Emperor will definitely not say a word.
King Yueming was responsible for the evil spirit entering the city, but he miscalculated the date, so all the casualties in the city were blamed on him.
From now on...at least within three to five years.
The people will no longer trust him, and the officials will no longer respect him.
"good."
Xu Zhiyan nodded, and then the secret guards jumped into the yard.
"Your Highness, there are no survivors in the Liu Mansion."
"Your Highness, you go first."
Xu Zhiyan stepped forward and saluted. Jiang Zhaoying glanced at him. Xu Zhiyan nodded, then took out a flare from his arms and fired it out.
The moment the colorful light exploded in the air, the disciples of the Imperial Observatory who were guarding every corner of the capital immediately activated the formations they were guarding.
At the same time.
The sky above the royal temple was filled with Buddhist light, surging in all directions like a huge wave.
It won't take a moment.
The evil spirit was forced to retreat step by step.
This time.
The Prince's Palace, the Imperial Observatory, and the royal temples are no longer as low-key as before, but appear in the streets and alleys and in front of the people.
Seeing the black fog retreating layer by layer, the people rushed out and knelt at the door, worshipping and praying continuously.
This battle was extremely difficult and it was not until midnight that all the evil spirits were driven out of the capital.
Jiang Zhaoying chased all the way, and watching the evil spirits all go into the deep pool, she began to feel uneasy again.
"Miss."
Si Nan caught up with her, and Jiang Zhaoying took a look at the calm deep pool.
"Go ahead, come back and check later when you have time."
Then.
They rushed on their horses and galloped towards the capital.
As soon as the guards saw them, they immediately opened the city gate. The moment they rushed in, the people in the brightly lit area cheered.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is truly wise and powerful, and Miss Jiang, I would say she is a goddess."
"Jiang Jianzheng clearly wrote that the evil spirit would enter the city on the ninth day of the first lunar month, but Prince Yue Ming and Prime Minister Liu insisted on causing trouble, causing so many deaths in our capital."
"I heard that Prime Minister Liu's family has been wiped out. They really deserved it."
"It's a blessing. If the Prince's Mansion, the Royal Temple, and the Imperial Observatory hadn't come together to rescue us, the entire capital would have been destroyed."
In the crowd.
The people kept talking about this matter, and when they mentioned Prince Yueming's Mansion and Prime Minister Liu's Mansion, they clenched their fists in anger.
Jiang Zhaoying listened, and when she lowered her eyes there was a hint of helplessness.
Before this incident happened, they all worshipped King Yue Ming as a god and Prime Minister Liu as their hero. But not long after that, the candidates in their hearts changed to the Imperial Observatory, the Royal Temple, and the Prince's Mansion.
The palace at this moment.
It was also a mess.
The evil spirit was rampant, and although there were not many places it could go, it destroyed everything it could.
The faces of the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were all pale as they kept carrying corpses one by one to the side hall of the Ministry of Punishment. In less than two hours, the side hall was full.
They were all charred black, with expressions of terror, and some even had twisted hands and feet. If they were placed in a mass grave, it would surely cause a huge sensation, so they had to be burned.
After that, a booklet would have to be prepared to provide relief to those who deserve it, and perhaps the government would have to open up to the public to recruit people to enter the palace.
There are too many things going on that make everyone feel nervous and busy.
When Eunuch Chen reported to the Emperor that Prime Minister Liu had died in the Liu Mansion while wearing a dragon robe, the Emperor suddenly stood up, walked to the desk, and took out all the evidence of Prime Minister Liu's crimes.
Less than an hour.
Cui Hexun led his men into the Liu Mansion to search the property. Xu Zhiyan also entered through the side door, intending to secretly take away all the things in the Wen Mansion.
People from the Prince's Mansion were leading the common people to clean up the mess on the streets and tidy up the streets again.
All shops took down their items in front of their doors, re-decorated them, and prepared to reopen.
Inside the main hall.
Jiang Jianzheng's face was pale and his lips were black. The imperial physician diagnosed him with poisoning, and he was carried from prison into the palace.
When the emperor saw his appearance, and then looked at King Yueming who had come back with him, he grabbed the memorial and smashed it on King Yueming's head.
The court officials were all in a state of tension at this moment, and it was obvious that they had not yet recovered from the shock.
There were more or less casualties in the homes of each of them, and only a very small number of people were safe and sound. They also found that anyone who had a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was fine.
so.
This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince warning them!
look up.
They looked at the tall and cold back of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cautiously, and felt extremely guilty for a moment.
Some court officials even felt their legs tremble and their hearts were filled with fear.
