"The Sword God prevents her from usurping the throne, so naturally she hates it even more!"
The Prime Minister nodded and said, "Actually, she had some hopes at the beginning, hoping that Linghu Changle could help her. She already has Wei Wuya and Yuan Fenjing in her hands. If she gets Linghu Changle's support, then she will be the emperor."
For her, it was just a matter of digging into the bag. But in fact, it was Linghu Changle who became the biggest stumbling block for her to ascend to the throne. If Linghu Changle rejected her confession before, she was disappointed, then after Linghu Changle became a stumbling block,
She only hates Linghu Changle."
Qin Xiao couldn't help but nod. Although he still didn't know how Linghu Changle was murdered, he already knew Xiahou's motive for murdering Linghu Changle.
When things develop to that point, Xiahou is one step away from the throne, and Linghu Changle becomes the final obstacle. Of course, Xiahou will do everything possible to eliminate him.
"You can guess what happened next. Of course she wanted to get rid of Linghu Changle." The Prime Minister sighed. "At that time, she naturally had no affection for Linghu Changle. She had already experienced the happiness that power brought to her.
, so it is imperative for her to get rid of Linghu Changle." At this point, the Prime Minister suddenly coughed. Qin Xiao immediately stood up and stepped forward, patting the Prime Minister's back, while the Prime Minister covered it with his palm.
After coughing for a while, Qin Xiao took his hand away, but Qin Xiao had already seen that his palm was filled with blood and changed color slightly.
He knew that the Prime Minister was not joking. The poison had permeated his whole body and there was no way to save him. The Prime Minister was also dying.
"But how powerful Linghu Changle is, who can kill him? Even if Wei Wuya and Yuan Fenjing join forces, they may not be able to kill Linghu Changle." The Prime Minister seemed to know that he was about to die, and said quickly, "So she
I thought of Hong Tianji."
Qin Xiao knew that Dao Zun was also involved in killing the Sword God back then, so he was not surprised to hear the Prime Minister mention it at this time.
"At that time, Sword Valley was already well-known in the world, surpassing Dongji Tianzhai." The Prime Minister said, "So Dongji Tianzhai, which Hong Tianji worked so hard to build, could only succumb to Sword Valley. It doesn't matter, the most important thing is
What's more, Linghu Changle has entered the realm of Wutian for the first time. He is a rare figure in a hundred years. His existence is a great threat to other great masters." He turned his head slightly and looked at the person who was patting him.
Qin Xiao, who was on his back, smiled and said, "Linghu Changle has become a sharp blade hanging over the heads of other great masters, making others always feel fear. For Hong Tianji personally and Dongji Tianzhai, killing Linghu Changle is both
It is beneficial. My sister saw this clearly, so she sent someone to contact Hong Tianji secretly and invited him to participate in the plan."
Qin Xiao said, "So it was the three great masters who joined forces to murder the Sword God?"
"It's not three people, it's four great masters." The Prime Minister was attacked by the poison, and his voice became obviously weak when he spoke, but he still said, "There is still Master!"
Qin Xiao's body was shaken and he asked, "Master, are you also involved?"
"When Hong Tianji arrived in Kyoto, I was the one to receive him." The Prime Minister said, "In fact, with the strength of the three great masters, if they join forces, they can indeed kill Linghu Changle. But in their bones, they are afraid of Linghu Changle, and they even give up their hearts.
Wei Wuya, who is loyal to his younger sister, cannot guarantee that the three of them can really join forces to kill Linghu Changle. You should understand that there can only be one plan to kill Linghu Changle. Once it fails, there will never be a second time.
opportunity. So they must be foolproof."

"So the master is also involved in the plan?" Qin Xiao frowned and said, "The master also agrees to join forces to deal with the sword god?"
The Prime Minister said, "In fact, Master and Linghu Changle have a good personal relationship. He has known Master when he was young, and they have a very close relationship. But do you still remember that I said that he wanted to taste the food cooked by my father? He was in Kyoto at the time.
It was just to visit the Master. At that time, the Master was already on duty in the Prince's Mansion, and was the Prince's Young Master. The following year, he was promoted to the Prince's Tutor, who was the late emperor's mentor. However, after the Crown Prince ascended the throne, the Master completely disappeared from Kyoto.
Almost no one knows his whereabouts."
"So how did you find the Master after killing the Sword God more than 20 years ago?" Qin Xiao asked doubtfully, "Who can find the Master when the divine dragon has lost its head and tail?"
The Prime Minister said, "Yuan Fengjing."
"Great Heavenly Master?"
"To be sure, Yuan Fenjing found the master and told him that he wanted to kill Linghu Changle, but he did not mention that there were several other great masters involved." The Prime Minister said, "The master heard that Yuan Fenjing wanted to ask him to join forces to kill Linghu Changle.
, flatly refused, Yuan Fengjing could not be persuaded."
"If that's the case, why did Master get involved later?"
The Prime Minister sighed, "Because of me!"
Qin Xiao was startled.
He was a little surprised, thinking that even Yuan Fengjing couldn't convince the master, so how could the Prime Minister do it?
"I lied to you, Master." The Prime Minister sighed, "When I saw Master, I told him all about the past relationship between my younger sister and Linghu Changle. I didn't hide anything. Every word was true. But what I said afterward was half truth and half lie.
.I told him that the younger sister had an affair with Linghu Changle, and that the younger sister had the support of Linghu Changle and intended to usurp the throne. I also told him that Yuan Fengying had received favor from the emperor and did not want to see Li Tang's country ruined, so he wanted to get rid of him.
Linghu Changle stopped his younger sister from usurping the throne, and his words were consistent with Yuan Fengying's previous words to persuade him."
Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "Master is so smart. Do you believe that the Sword God supports her to usurp the throne based on the words of the Prime Minister? And you are from the Xiahou family. Instead of supporting her, you want to prevent her from usurping the throne. Don't you doubt it?"
"
"It is precisely because I am a member of the Xiahou family that I am more convincing." The Prime Minister said, "I told you that Xiahou's family has been favored by the emperor and has a high position in the Tang Dynasty. He does not want to cause the Xiahou family to be in disgrace for thousands of years because of his younger sister usurping the throne.
I don’t even want the Xiahou family to end up dead because of this. The master knows that I value the family very seriously, so he believed what he said. After that, my younger sister and I carefully planned to let the master see after entering the palace.
When it came to the secret meeting between the younger sister and Linghu Changle, the master was doubtful, but he still didn't want to meet Linghu Changle in life or death."
When Qin Xiao heard this, he thought that when the Sword God was killed, the Prime Minister indeed played a vital role in it.
Just as the Prime Minister said, the Xiahou family and the saint broke their bones and joined the tendons, and the saint embarked on the road to usurp the throne. Whether the Xiahou family is willing or not, they will definitely board the same ship with the saint. Once the ship sinks, those who fall into the water will
It cannot be just a saint, the entire Xiahou clan must also be buried with him.
"But our original intention is not to let Master take action." The Prime Minister said, "Our plan is to let Master poison Linghu Changle!"
Qin Xiao's body was shaken and he felt incredible.
How could such a person as Master agree to such a despicable trick?
"Don't be surprised." The Prime Minister saw Qin Xiao's shock and said with a calm smile, "Actually, it's not poison, it's just a medicine that can temporarily seal the energy. Otherwise, Master wouldn't be able to help later. The medicine.
After entering the abdomen, it causes damage to the meridians, and even a great master cannot use his internal power as he wishes. Wei Wuya spent a lot of effort to find this medicine. Under the sun, Linghu Changle could take this medicine without any precautions.
Only Master can do it, no one else can do it."
Only then did Qin Xiao understand the master's role in the murder.
"Master is indeed unwilling to do such a sinister thing, but I and Yuan Fenjing have repeatedly persuaded me. As long as Linghu Changle's internal strength is sealed and he agrees not to support his younger sister's usurpation of the throne, he will not be harmed at all." The Prime Minister said, "We are right.
Master said, even if Linghu Changle did not agree, we only need to take the opportunity to abolish his martial arts without harming his life. Master thought about it for two days and finally agreed, and then invited Linghu Changle to his residence to meet. Linghu Changle
Being unprepared for him, Master put the poison that had been prepared in the tea. Linghu Changle drank half a cup of tea and the poison entered his body."
"The sword god was poisoned and fell into a trap?" Qin Xiao stared at the Prime Minister. Although he saw a dying old man in front of him, he was still a little angry when he thought that the old man had participated in such a despicable plan.
The Prime Minister nodded and said, "The three great masters have been prepared for a long time. After Linghu Changle was poisoned, Wei Wuya, Yuan Fenjing and Hong Tianji joined forces to attack. However, they did not expect that even though he was poisoned, Linghu Changle still hit that fatal blow."
Hong Tianji was injured by the inner sword and almost died on the spot. However, after the sword was struck, Linghu Changle was no longer able to resist, and was hit in the vital point by Wei Wuya. Before Linghu Changle died, he
He drank the remaining half cup of poisonous tea and said that the tea made by Master was unparalleled in the world, and then he sat down at the tea table and died."
It was certainly a thrilling showdown, but the Prime Minister described it in a downplayed manner.
"From the time the three great masters took action to Linghu Changle's death, everything happened in just a moment." The Prime Minister said, "Wei Wuya and Yuan Fenjing brought Linghu Changle's body back to the palace, and Hong Tianji also left injured."
Qin Xiao looked solemn, shook his head and said, "No, no. The Prime Minister, the Master was also present at the time. The three great masters appeared. Of course he knew immediately that he might be deceived. Why didn't he help? He was just watching from the side."
"That's right." The Prime Minister nodded and said, "He is just watching from the sidelines."
"Why is this happening?" Qin Xiao felt extremely heavy in his heart, "Master, why did you turn a blind eye?"
The Prime Minister said, "Everything I said today is true, and not a single word is false. Prince Xiao, you are extremely smart, and you should be able to see the clues. In fact, in the plan, Master's discovery was indeed taken into consideration." He will take action after being deceived, so we have planned in advance. Once the master takes action, Yuan Fenjing will stop him, while Wei Wuya and Hong Tianji will join forces to deal with Linghu Changle. Linghu Changle is poisoned, so we think the two masters will join forces to kill him.
Linghu Changle. But everyone did not expect that Master did not take action." After a pause, he continued, "I was also puzzled afterward. After pondering for a long time, I finally understood the reason."
"how to say?"
"Based on the situation at that time, if Master took action, he might not be able to save Linghu Changle. Instead, he might be killed by the three great masters." The Prime Minister said, "After all, for any great master, the great master in this world is
Of course, the fewer grandmasters, the better. In addition, there is another key reason."
"Are you saying that Master doesn't want the Sword God to live?" Qin Xiao told the truth that he was least willing to admit.
The Prime Minister smiled and said, "Yes. Although we made a lot of preparations to convince the Master and made up reasonable lies, as you said, the Master is so smart. Did our lies really deceive him? He finally agreed to poison him.
, had we already seen through our plan to kill Linghu Changle? Did he only poison but not take action, in order to protect his reputation and make people think that he was just deceived but did not participate in the murder? Or, because there was
For other reasons, he just stood aside? Perhaps you can ask him personally about all this."
Qin Xiao smiled bitterly, no wonder this murder case was so secretive that no one in the world knew the details.
Once the truth spreads, the character of these great masters will naturally be questioned. No matter what the motivation is, the four great masters joining forces to murder the sword god will be dishonorable and even despicable after all.
"Linghu Changle is the nightmare of these great masters." The Prime Minister said slowly, "They all have fear of Linghu Changle deep in their hearts. Since there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join forces to get rid of Linghu Changle, are they really willing to miss it?
?Maybe they don't care whether Linghu Changle is involved in their younger sister's conspiracy to usurp the throne, they just want to get rid of the nightmare in their hearts, that's all. Bustling, everyone comes for benefit, bustling, everyone goes for benefit, in this world
Hahaha, it’s really ridiculous!”
Qin Xiao was silent for a long time, and finally asked, "I heard that there is a magic tomb in the palace, which is the burial place of the Sword God, but I don't know if it is true or not? If there is really a magic tomb, where is it?"
He knew that the young aunt and other disciples of Sword Valley wanted to find the remains of the Sword God and bring him back to Sword Valley for burial, but they were still unable to find the whereabouts of the modron in the palace.
Qin Xiao knew that he was unable to resolve the grievances between the great masters, but he wanted to help his young master find the remains of the Sword God and send them back to Sword Valley.
But the Prime Minister did not speak. Qin Xiao stared at the Prime Minister and saw him sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking into the distance, motionless, like a statue.
"Prime Minister?" Qin Xiao called softly, but there was no response from the Prime Minister. Qin Xiao could no longer feel the breath of the Prime Minister. He stretched out a finger to the tip of the Prime Minister's nose, only to feel that the tip of the Prime Minister's nose was cold.
Without breathing, the once powerful Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty has passed away.
"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish you and your families happiness and everything goes well!"
