Volume Five Blood Edict Murder Chapter 110 Anger and Killing Intent
Sikongfu, heavy snow.
Xiao Yuanche's face was gloomy and he sat in the main hall without saying a word.
Wen Dong and Wu Xi sat respectively.
Seeing the scary look on Xiao Yuanche's face, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Xu Wenshuo's heart was in the sky and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Not long after, footsteps sounded outside the hall. Xu Jinghu strode into the main hall, shook off the snow flakes all over his body, then knelt down on the ground, lowered his head, and stopped talking.
After a long while, Xiao Yuanche stared at him and sneered: "General Xu, Commander Xu, what a great contribution you have made today!"
When Xu Jinghu heard this, his body trembled and he whispered: "My lord... you will be punished by death..."
Xiao Yuanche suddenly scolded in a cold voice: "Death penalty? How many heads do you have that I can chop off? Who took the responsibility in the first place and volunteered to deal with Dong Si? You boasted about Haikou, and I even blush for you!
"
Xiao Yuanche felt really upset. He walked close to Xu Jinghu, pointed with his hand and said: "Where is the person you arrested? Why did he go from his cavalry general's palace to the forbidden palace of Jin Dynasty in Ducheng and hold him hostage?"
I am the Holy One now!"
Xu Jinghu also looked aggrieved and confused and said: "I don't know why General Chariot and Cavalry's house has eighty-four people, old and young, but Dong Si is the only one missing, let alone how he appeared in the house."
Ouchi...the last general obeyed Guo Jijiu's order and did not tell the soldiers what the target was until the moment before the action."
Xiao Yuanche was so angry that he just wanted to jump up, pointed at his nose, and said angrily: "Are you asking me? Do you want me to answer you and solve the case for you? Where is your brain? Can it be eaten by a dog?
Investigate! All the soldiers and generals who are under your control tonight will be investigated for me, one by one, and no one can be spared!"
Xu Jinghu lowered his head and whispered: "Here!"
Xiao Yuanche suppressed his anger, sat down, took two sips of Maojian, his voice was low, and he squinted at Xu Jinghu and said: "Let me ask you again, how could the Holy Lord be held hostage, and how could Su Ling appear here?"
In Fengzhang Hall, who cut off Dong Si's arm?"
Xu Jinghu then told the story exactly as it was.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanche suddenly exerted all his strength and smashed the empty tea bowl in his hand towards Xu Jinghu's head.
How could Xu Jinghu dare to dodge? The empty tea bowl hit Xu Jinghu's forehead without any hesitation, causing blood to flow profusely.
Xu Jinghu did not wipe the blood on his forehead and lowered his head again.
Xiao Yuanche was so angry that he pointed at Xu Jinghu and said: "You bastard! I usually ask you to read some books to train you, hoping that you can lead troops to fight one day. I didn't expect you to be such a thing! Books!
Have you all gone to study in the latrine?"
Xu Jinghu could only reply in a low voice: "At that time, Dong Si threatened the emperor and wanted to see the lord. The general just felt that it was snowing and cold, and the lord should not show up easily..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Yuanche didn't wait for Xu Jinghu to finish speaking and scolded Xu Jinghu loudly: "Idiot! Stupid! That's today! I'm just a minister, you don't know that a king calls a minister
Is it true that a dead minister has to die? Besides, if the emperor is in trouble, it would be an honor for me to die in his place!"
After saying that, he turned to Guo Baiyi and other advisers, Xia Yuanrang and other generals on the left and right and pointed: "You all should listen to me. It's good that you are subordinates of my Sikong Mansion, but Sikong is the Sikong of the Jin Dynasty.
You are also ministers of the Jin Dynasty! You must always pretend to be the emperor in your heart, whether you understand it or not!"
Guo Baiyi, Xia Yuanrang and others all stood up and said in unison: "Here!"
Xiao Yuanche's voice was louder, and his anger was even greater. He looked at Xu Jinghu fiercely and said: "I heard that you still want to ignore the safety of the saint and kill Dong Si by force; and I asked you to protect the saint.
And the empress, why did the empress commit suicide in fear? It must have been your words and actions that frightened the empress, Xu Jinghu, aren’t you afraid that I, Sikong, will kill your nine clans?”
When the generals heard this, their faces were horrified. Seeing Xiao Yuanche's anger, he had never been so angry. They thought they were really going to kill Xu Jinghu. Headed by Xia Yuanrang, Huang Kuijia, and Zhang Shiyou, they all knelt down on the ground.
They all said in unison: "Sikong, Sikong, think twice, Jinghu can't kill him!..."
Only Guo Baiyi and Xu Wenruo still looked as calm as ever. They didn't even stand up and say a word. They seemed to turn a blind eye to Xiao Sikong's murder, as if it had never happened.
And Boning still has that sinister look on his face.
When Xiao Yuanche saw that these generals were all interceding for Xu Jinghu on his behalf, although his expression did not change much, his tone became even more furious, and his voice was almost roaring, so shocked that the entire Sikong Mansion seemed to hear: "Left and right.
, before I pull him down, I will chop him down first, and then go and kill him all over the house! The person who begged for mercy is the same as Xu Jinghu!"
These generals looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes. They didn't expect that Xiao Sikong was really going to kill Xu Jinghu and his entire family.
Looking at the warrior soldiers on the left and right, they rushed forward, wiped their shoulders and folded their arms, intending to tie up Xu Jinghu.
Xiao Yuanzhe's angry voice was very loud, and the snowy night was already silent, so it was carried far away by the wind.
Emperor Jin came to Tingnuan Pavilion and sat down in shock. Suddenly he heard Xiao Yuanche's angry words and listened for a while.
There was a touch of emotion on his face, and he sighed and said to Qi Shizhai beside him: "Banban, Xiao Yuanche is still a real person... It's just that his subordinates are not easy to control..."
Qi Shizhai glanced at Jin Emperor Liu Duan in surprise, shook his head helplessly and sighed...
In the main hall, Xu Jinghu was about to be retreated and beheaded. Guo Baiyi glanced at Xu Wenruo calmly, and seeing Xu Wenruo suddenly opening his slightly closed eyes, Guo Baiyi smiled secretly, he himself actually
I closed my eyes.
But Xu Wenruo stood up and said, "Sikong, please calm down, I have something to report!"
When Xiao Yuanche saw that it was Xu Wenruo, he suppressed his anger and said in a slightly slower voice: "It's your Majesty, what do you have to say? If you want to plead for this idiot, there is no need to say more!"
Xu Wenruo then shook his head and said: "I am not begging for mercy, but actually announcing an edict."
Xiao Yuanche then pretended to be puzzled and said: "Declaration? What does Wen Ruo mean?"
Xu Wenruo sighed and said, "Just now, Your Majesty has informed me in public that General Xu is not only innocent, but actually meritorious. And Mrs. Dong even committed suicide out of fear of crime. How can she be justified in her death? Therefore, I still hope that Sikong will take back his life!"
Xia Yuanrang, Huang Kuijia, and Zhang Shiyou also knelt down again and looked at Xiao Yuanche eagerly.
Guo Baiyi shook his head lightly, and then slowly stood up along with the generals.
Only halfway through standing, Xiao Yuanche's voice rang out, and his voice was much calmer: "Push it back..."
Hearing this, Guo Baiyi simply sat back again.
Xu Jinghu managed to survive, and then he proclaimed his lord's mercy and kept kowtowing.
Only then did Xiao Yuanche glance at Guo Baiyi, and seeing his calm expression, he secretly thought that he still had no secrets from this man...
Then he snorted and said: "After today's work, go to Guo Jijiu's place and let him teach you how to be a minister!"
Xu Jinghu nodded quickly and said, "Here!"
Guo Baiyi smiled bitterly in his heart and looked towards Xiao Yuanche, only to see Xiao Yuanche looking at him with a smile.
This is good, he beats the crying child, and he has to work hard to comfort him...
Xiao Yuanche then said again: "Sit aside..."
Wait for Xu Jinghu to sit down.
Xiao Yuanche drank a few more cups of tea, thought for a while, and then asked Xu Jinghu: "How did Su Ling save the emperor?"
Xu Jinghu thought for a while and said: "At that time, Dong Si held the emperor hostage and they were in a stalemate. Mo Jiang was already thinking of killing Dong Si at all costs. For some reason, someone suddenly shot from behind and cut off his right arm with a sword.
When I looked around, I realized it was Su Chongfeng."
Huang Kuijia heard this and suddenly clapped his hands and said: "Hey! It's my brother Su Ling. At the critical moment, he helped Lao Xu a lot with just one sword. I have made great contributions! My lord, you must reward me well."
Brother!"
Xiao Yuanche glared at him, and Huang Kuijia stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.
Xiao Yuanche asked Xu Jinghu again: "How did Su Ling appear in Fengzhang Hall?"
Xu Jinghu shook his head and said: "I don't know, I just know that the Holy Emperor was held hostage. I wanted to fight for my life, but Su Congfeng caught me by surprise. I just defeated the enemy with one move. However, I thought that Su Congfeng should have been hiding in Fengzhang for a long time."
In the palace, otherwise it would not have appeared so coincidental..."
Guo Baiyi's heart trembled, and he raised his head and looked towards Xiao Yuanche.
Sure enough, Xiao Yuanche's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he slowly glanced at Xu Jinghu for a few times, and there was a coldness in his eyes that was not easy to detect.
Xiao Yuanche then said calmly: "Oh, you mean, Su Ling has arrived at Fengzhang Palace a long time ago? One step ahead of you?"
Xu Jinghu nodded and said: "That should be the case. If the general's prediction is correct, he should be on the front foot with the traitor Dong Si."
Xiao Yuanche nodded with some understanding, and said in a slightly heavier voice: "According to what you said, Su Ling must have some plans after entering Fengzhang Hall, right?"
Xu Jinghu was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and seemed to be brave, saying word by word: "The general thought that Su Ling either arrived first, or that he arrived at Fengzhang Hall at the same time as Dong Si. The general thought that Su Ling was here.
There must be a purpose for coming, but I don’t know how to say it at the moment.”
Xiao Yuanche looked at Xu Jinghu and said calmly: "You don't know what to say or you don't dare to say it? Say it! Just say whatever you think."
Xu Jinghu suddenly stood up, cupped his hands towards Xiao Yuanche and said: "The general thinks that Su Gongfeng suddenly entered the forbidden palace privately on a snowy night and happened to appear in Fengzhang Hall. It is definitely not a coincidence. There may be three reasons.
reasons."
Xiao Yuanche looked at Xu Jinghu, and he didn't know whether to praise him or to mock him and said: "Just now I told you to read more, and it seems that you have read some books. What are the three reasons?
Three kinds?”
"First, Su Gongfeng knew about our actions tonight in advance, probably to help us, so he secretly entered the palace to see if there was any emergency, so that he could secretly help us. When he saw Dong Si holding the emperor hostage, he also
It just so happens that for this reason... I will think that... it is unlikely."
Xu Jinghu said seriously.
Xiao Yuanche raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"
Xu Jinghu said: "Su Zongfeng is Sikong Zongzong. If you really know that tonight's operation is coming, you should come to Sikong Mansion to defend Lord Sikong. Why go to the Forbidden Palace instead? Furthermore, everything in this operation is carried out in secret.
The only ones who know are a few of Sikong's confidants. He, Su Ling, has never participated in any discussions convened by his lord to discuss deployment matters. How does he know when we will act, and how does he know that we must return to the forbidden palace? Unless...
..."
Xiao Yuanche's eyes showed no sadness or joy, he looked at him and said: "Unless, unless what?"
"Unless someone told Su Ling the time and location of the anti-rebellion operation in advance..." Xu Jinghu said without concealing it.
When Guo Baiyi heard this, he frowned slightly and glanced at Xu Jinghu calmly, then at Xiao Yuanche.
I saw Xiao Yuanche wearing a smile that could not tell whether he was happy or angry, and still looking at Xu Jinghu with good eyes.
Guo Baiyi's heart sank, knowing that Xu Jinghu was probably playing with fire. Guo Baiyi didn't know Xiao Yuanche's temper. When Xiao Yuanche showed such an expression, he was often angry and murderous.
time.
As for how Xiao Yuanche had the intention to kill, and whether he had the intention to kill Su Ling or Xu Jinghu? Guo Baiyi knew in his heart who he wanted to kill, and Guo Baiyi felt that Xu Jinghu was about 80% likely.
He glanced at Xu Wenruo again, but saw that Xu Wenruo's face was calm and expressionless, as if these things had nothing to do with him.
He just blinked slightly when he heard Su Ling appear.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuanche nodded and said, "What about the second possibility?"
Xu Jinghu had some embarrassment on his face, but he still held up his hands and said: "Secondly, Su Ling is not here to help our Sikong Mansion at all. He might be conspiring with Dong Si..."
Xiao Yuanche interrupted him and asked lightly: "Tell me the third possibility!"
Xu Jinghu paused for a moment, swallowed, and then made up his mind: "The third possibility is that Su Ling felt pity for the emperor, so he acted alone just to save the emperor and the empress, but he didn't have time to see him.
Save, I bumped into this..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanche suddenly walked up to Xu Jinghu in two steps, looked at him with burning eyes, and said in a low voice: "Then how big do you think this third possibility is?"
Xu Jinghu was stunned for a moment, and then he thought: "The general thinks that this possibility is extremely high. My lord must not forget that Su Ling's name was marked on the blood edict! What he said to the lord before
, just because the name labeling matter was exposed, I had no choice but to do it..."
Guo Baiyi's eyes suddenly turned cold when he looked at Xu Jinghu.
Xiao Yuanche suddenly raised his head and smiled for a long time, and then said: "Xu Jinghu, you have become more capable. Let me ask you, if he was not for us, he could have waited for you to take action. Dong Si was injured.
After the Emperor, he took action again, thus confirming our charge of disregarding the safety of His Majesty, why was it that Su Ling took action just when you were about to rush forward regardless of the safety of His Majesty!"
Xu Jinghu was startled and could only lower his head and said: "This... the general has not figured it out yet."
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "Let me ask you again, Su Ling already knew in advance that we would take action on the blood edict, but he didn't know when to take action. He also offered me many strategies. Today,
He thought of countermeasures for the incident, as well as a series of subsequent incidents after this incident, and dealt with it extremely appropriately. If you follow your words, let me ask you, why did Su Ling come up with so many plans? Why didn't he
Explain to Dong Si and the Holy One as soon as possible?"
"this......"
Xiao Yuanche asked the third question again, and his voice had become extremely cold: "I'm asking you, Xu Jinghu, you don't like reading, but you have only dabbled in it in the past half year. You talk about scheming, strategizing, and guessing people's hearts.
You are just as good as Huang Kuijia, which is why you can be the commander of the troops of our Sikong Mansion. I also like your aloofness!"
Having said this, Xiao Yuanche walked a few steps and looked at Xu Jinghu. With infinite coldness in his eyes, he said word by word: "If it were you yourself, even a hundred Xu Jinghu would not be able to think of such words.
, let me ask you, who taught you these words?"
Xiao Yuanche's voice was not loud, but it was filled with boundless anger and a strong murderous intention.
Xu Jinghu trembled, lowered his head and said: "General... No one can teach me, I just say whatever comes to my mind!"
The murderous intent on Xiao Yuanche's face was even heavier, and the anger was significantly reduced by three points. His eyes were stern and he said: "You just said that someone might have revealed tonight's action to Su Ling. Let me ask you, is this
Apart from you and me, and these people present, the only people who know about this action are my three sons. Of course we cannot talk about it, so tell me, what you are talking about has been revealed.
Which young master is Su Ling?"
Xu Jinghu's eyes froze, his body trembled, he could only grit his teeth and said in a deep voice: "My lord, I don't dare to make random guesses. I just know that Su Ling has always been on good terms with Master Cangshu, and Sikong...
Lord, you must be on guard against this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuanche had already raised his foot and kicked Xu Jinghu hard on the left chest. Xu Jinghu suddenly felt pain, his body tilted and he fell to the ground.
Xiao Yuanche's expression changed, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. He pointed at Xu Jinghu with his hand, his voice was as serious as a knife, and he said with great pain: "His heart can be killed! His heart can be killed! I, Xiao Yuanche,
Not dead yet!..."
Suddenly I felt a splitting headache, dizziness, and almost fell to the ground.
Huang Kuijia panicked, and Guo Baiyi hurriedly came over to support him, helped him sit on the seat and said: "My lord, my lord, please calm down and take care of the tiger's body!..."
Xu Jinghu had a gloomy look on his face, with a hint of stubbornness in his eyes that he would never change his words. He lowered his head and stopped talking.
Xiao Yuanche took a sip of tea, breathed a few more times, and then pointed at Xu Jinghu and said: "You bastard, you dare to bite randomly! Do you really think I'm blind? You, the Sikong Mansion soldier commander above, but
The most handsome general with five senses! He, Su Ling, is friendly with Cang Shu, and you, on the surface, are following me, but in fact, you go to Xiao Jianshu’s house frequently, right?!"
When Guo Baiyi and Xu Wenruo heard this, they both stood up suddenly.
Xu Wenruo said in fear: "Sikong, Sikong, please calm down. Sikong is in his prime in the Spring and Autumn Period. The three young masters are also respectful brothers. They are all ignorant people who make random speculations and stir up trouble..."
Guo Baiyi also said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. My lord, this Xu Jinghu is a rough man. He is not afraid of the rough man being stubborn, but he is afraid that the rough man will use his brain. What he says here and there is nothing more than nonsense."
.....Lord, please calm down!"
Xiao Yuanche rubbed his forehead and said in a cold voice: "Also, what did you say when you faced Chang Shi Qi in the palace? What do you mean by the superior branch and the subordinate faction, who can't help themselves? I am the superior.
Well, who is the sect? Tell me clearly!"
At this point, he didn't wait for Xu Jinghu to reply, and shouted coldly: "Also, what do you mean by saying this? Could it be that you are going to blame me for killing the queen, so that I can be punished?"
Can’t everyone in the world criticize me, Xiao Yuan, with all my heart?”
This is too serious to say.
What Xiao Yuanche said before when he scolded Xu Jinghu was just a matter of taking sides.
But after saying this, it meant that his lord suspected that he was not loyal to the entire Xiao family.
Then Xu Jinghu fell to the ground, sweating profusely, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, my lord, please calm down! It is not a pity for me to die! I just don't know how to express it for a moment, but I will always be loyal to my lord and will never change it."
, the sun and the moon can be used as lessons!”
Xiao Yuanche didn't wait for him to finish, his eyes were filled with murderous intent. He suddenly waved his hand and said softly: "Pull it down and kill..."
This sentence can be described as a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
They were so horrified that everyone in the main hall knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Sikong, calm down! Sikong, think twice!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from in front of the main hall door: "As a tribute to the Sikong Mansion, Su Ling begs Lord Sikong to be accommodating and spare the life of Commander Xu..."
