Just a few days before the confrontation in Jishui, the undercurrent that had been brewing for a long time in Yecheng finally broke out.

The cavalry was running back and forth on the streets, and the soldiers were coming and going with swords and spears. The people closed their doors and windows, leaving only a pair of eyes to peek out from the cracks in the doors.

People in Yecheng, a huge city, are terrified.

From the Buddhist monastery next to Dongming Temple, there was a mournful cry, "My son, who killed my son!"

The birds on the surrounding treetops were startled, and they fled to the sky in panic. A few feathers slowly fell from the sky and landed among the crowd.

"Who! Who is it?" Shi Hu's eyes were red and he looked crazy, and his fat body was like a giant python coiled together.

In his arms was the body of Shi Tao, the Duke of Qin who was the prince of the dynasty.

The corpse was horrific, with its hands and feet chopped off, its eyes gouged out, and its internal organs flowing out of the abdominal wound.

Obviously, Shi Tao was abused before his death.

Li Nong on the side raised his hands and said: "The person who harmed Duke Qin is unknown. The thief is in the capital. Luan Yu should not stay outside for a long time!"

Shi Hu stared at Li Nong with his red eyes. The servant behind him was so frightened that his knees weakened and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground.

Cold sweat also broke out on Li Nong's forehead.

Everything around seemed to be frozen into ice, and there was only the sound of scattered breathing.

"Go back to the palace!" Shi Hu said two words through gritted teeth.

Li Nong breathed a sigh of relief, and the people around him didn't dare to express their anger.

Shi Hu didn't take two steps with the help of the palace attendants when he suddenly fell to the ground softly.

It is no secret in Yecheng that Shi Hu is not in good health.

Now that his beloved son died tragically, the white-haired man sending the black-haired man away was a slap in the face to him.

"King of Heaven! King of Heaven!"

The crowd around them roared and rushed forward one after another. Many of them had ulterior motives and many wanted to show their loyalty. The scene was extremely chaotic. Li Nong could not stop it and panicked.

"Don't move. If you do, you will be executed for rebellion!" someone shouted loudly.

Everyone looked around and saw that it was Xiucheng Hou Shimin, with a row of armored soldiers around him holding their hands on the hilts of their swords.

"Back away!" Shi Min glanced at everyone and shouted angrily, like thunder exploding on the ground.

There were many veterans on the battlefield and court officials present, but they were shaken by this angry shout.

A Jie general yelled, "You are a Jin dog, how dare you show off your power here?"

The words he said in a moment of urgency shocked all the Hu and Jin people present.

Even though Shihu has been working tirelessly to migrate the white Jie people from the Western Regions over the years, the Jie people are still at a disadvantage, with the Yan Kingdom looking at them from outside and the Qiang, Di and Xiongnu tribes filling the capital.

Shi Hu is alive and maintains the fragile balance with brutal rule. Everyone is used to the Jie people being aloof, but now Shi Hu can't do it anymore...

There was a "clang" and a flash of white light. The general tried to resist, but the sword light had already hit his face, blood and water splashed, and half of the general's head was cut off.

Shi Min held up a long knife, glanced at everyone, and said with murderous intent: "Anyone who blocks Luan Yu, the king of heaven, will be beheaded immediately!"

The crowd automatically retreated to both sides to get out of the way.

Shi Hu was then carried away by five palace people.

Shi Min led the soldiers to guard him.

Two days later, the mourning hall of Qin Gong Shi Tao was set up in Taiwu Hall, and all the officials came to express their condolences, including Prince Shi Xuan.

As in the past, Shi Xuan's ceremony was extremely grand, with nearly a hundred people cheering in front and behind.

Shi Hu fell ill, and his confidant Shi Tao was assassinated. The prince finally became like a prince.

As soon as the civil and military ministers in the palace saw him rising, they all stood up and worshiped him, showing unprecedented reverence.

That look was like a dog seeing its owner, which gave Shi Xuan great psychological satisfaction.

It made people lift off the quilt on Shi Tao's corpse and look at the former great enemy who had been suppressed for so many years. At this moment, he could no longer hold back and actually burst out laughing.

In the entire Taiwu Palace, there was only Shi Xuan's wild laughter.

In the evening, Shi Hu woke up leisurely under the treatment of the imperial doctors, and immediately called Li Nong, Zhang Ju, Zhang Jackal, Wang Mo and other ministers to ask, "Has the murderer been found?"

Zhang Ju, Zhang Jackal's neck shrank.

Li Nong gritted his teeth and said: "When the prince saw Qin Gong's body, he laughed and returned."

If Shi Tao ascends the throne, Li Nong still has a way to survive. If Shi Xuan ascends the throne, he will definitely die.

The corners of Shi Hu's eyes kept beating. He could assassinate Shi Tao without anyone noticing. Who else could he be but Shi Xuan? "Tell the prince to come see me!"

General Rong Zhao, Zhang Jie, cupped his hands and said, "It is absolutely necessary. The King of Heaven has been ill recently, and the Gaoli Imperial Guard has taken over the whole city. If the Crown Prince has ulterior motives and sees the King of Heaven's edict, he will definitely start an army to cause chaos! For this plan, we must lie to him."

Empress Du was so sad that she brought her into the palace..."

Shi Hu deeply agrees.

So in the name of his mother, Du, he secretly summoned Shi Xuan into the palace.

Shi Xuanzhi was so proud that he left without doubting his presence. He was trapped in the palace and cut off contact with his subordinates.

The sky above Yecheng was shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.

The staff of the Prince's Mansion gradually felt that something was not going well and fled one after another.

Some people in Yecheng also began to flee overnight with their families.

Within a day, Shi Ke from Jianxing came to report that Shi Hu ordered Longteng Zhonglang to arrest Shi Xuan's gang members. His confidants Yang Chu and Mou Cheng had already fled, and only one Zhao Sheng was captured.

Zhao Sheng couldn't bear the torture and told the truth.

Shi Xuan wanted to kill not only Shi Tao, but also Shi Hu.

Shi Hu's grief and anger became even worse. The prison stone was announced in the Xiku, and an iron ring was put through his jaw and locked. His wails and howls shook the palace. He made several buckets of wooden troughs, mixed rice with rice, and fed him in the same way as a pig or a dog...<

/p>

Then order Shi Min to lead Longteng Zhonglang to seize the Prince's Mansion.

Amidst the wailing and screaming, Shi Min stepped on the stream where blood gathered, leaving bloody footprints. The lewd laughter of Longteng's men and the cries of women kept coming to his ears.

He has long been accustomed to these things.

When he was a child, he had witnessed the scene of Shi Hu massacring Shi Lemanmen, which was even more tragic than now.

At that time, Shi Hong, the emperor of Jie Zhao, took the initiative to offer the jade seal and asked for concession, but was ruthlessly rejected by Shi Hu. Emperor Shi Hong, Queen Mother Cheng, Qin Wang Shi Hong, and Nanyang Wang Shi Hui were all killed. Nearly ten thousand people died, and the sound of crying was heard.

Countless days...

A eunuch rushed towards him in a panic.

Before he could get close, he was killed by the guards around him with knives. A few drops of blood splashed onto Shi Min's face, which made him sober up a little. He raised his head and stared at the cloudy sky for a long time, as if there were countless dead souls hovering in it.<

/p>

Until a few disheveled Long Teng Zhonglang came over and said, "I have left some high-quality goods for Hou Xiucheng to enjoy!"

Shi Hu kidnapped a hundred thousand women, and Shi Xuan followed suit. He rounded up nearly ten thousand women and kept them in captivity for his sexual pleasure. Now that they are destroyed, these women have also suffered the same fate as the fish in the pond.

"Business matters, the King is waiting for our reply." Shi Min has little interest in women.

As the adopted grandson of Shi Hu, he has everything he should have.

When he was about to wave away these women, he suddenly saw a woman who was different among the group of women.

Everyone else was extremely frightened, but she was expressionless.

While others had beautiful hair, she was the only one dressed in sackcloth.

This kind of appearance instantly caught Shi Min's attention. He was used to eating big fish and big meat, but he suddenly felt that simple meals were delicious.
