Chapter 65 Who is the cicada? Who is the mantis? Who is the oriole?
"Your Majesty is not as good as the weak crown, but he has such amazing martial arts. He has developed and attracted such a large force under my nose. The late emperor must have left a lot for your majesty. It seems that I was really serious at the beginning.
You underestimated the late emperor!" Wang Xiao stopped smiling and looked at Xiao Chengdao.
Xiao Cheng looked at Wang Xiao, his eyes narrowed slightly, then he put his long sword on the ground and pretended to be casual:
"It has nothing to do with the late emperor. If I have to say it, maybe it's because they still have the righteousness of the family and the country in their hearts, so they are willing to serve me!"
When Wang Xiao heard this, he shook his head and sneered:
"Your Majesty, what righteousness is there? It just arouses people's blood for a moment! I have been conquering the east and west for more than ten years, annexing the countries in the southwest. With continuous military exploits, land grants, and trophies, I have just won over my subordinates and maintained the Taipei Empire.
The power of the master's office. Human nature is like this. If it weren't for official position, power, and precious land, no one would be willing to sacrifice their life for anyone!"
"Isn't it that Grand Master still wants to teach me how to govern my subordinates at this time?" Xiao Cheng raised his brows and couldn't help but ask.
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:
"If you have to say so, I am the Grand Master and I have the responsibility to teach His Majesty... And since I lost like this, I am inevitably a little unconvinced and want to understand where I lost!"
A half-smile appeared on Xiao Cheng's face, and he said meaningfully to Wang Xiao:
"At this time, the grand master is still stalling for time, unwilling to surrender without mercy, but you want to delay until Tie Shengwen comes to rescue you?"
When Wang Xiao heard this, his eyelids twitched, but he didn't answer.
In fact, he naturally had such thoughts in his heart.
Although it seems that the Forbidden Army has fallen into the hands of Xiao Cheng at this time, the Forbidden Army has been in the hands of Zhong Li for many years and is known to be a waste.
Wang Xiao, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, really looked down on the imperial army. He believed in his heart that as long as hundreds of palace guards arrived and cooperated with Tie Shengwen, a seventh-level master, they could protect him and rush out of the palace.
Once he leaves the palace and summons his party members and confidants to mobilize troops inside and outside the capital, what can Xiao Cheng do even if he takes control of the palace?
Seeing that Wang Xiao was silent, Xiao Cheng suddenly laughed and said:
"Don't worry, Grand Master, Mr. Tie should be very busy at this time!"
Seeing Xiao Cheng's confident look, Wang Xiao suddenly felt cold in his heart.
It seems that he has already prepared methods to deal with Iron Shengwen!
I'm afraid Huangmen ordered Chu Li to inform him about the secret passage, which was also a means of his arrangement, in order to use the Ailao tribe to attract attention and divert most of his power away.
-----------------------
At this time in Xiyi Palace, Tie Shengwen suddenly frowned and turned to look in the direction of Xuanzheng Palace, feeling a little uneasy for no reason.
"Mr. Tie, there's something going on!" His guard quickly walked to Tie Shengwen's side and said softly.
Hearing this, Tie Shengwen calmed down and listened. Sure enough, in the lower Xiyi Palace, there was faint and unusual movement.
Tie Shengwen narrowed his eyes and raised the iron fan in his hand slightly.
Upon seeing this, the palace guards behind him reacted immediately, aiming their bows and crossbows at the side hall where the secret passage exit was.
The sharp arrow is cocked, the cold light shines, and it is ready to go.
In the underground secret passage, the sound of the squeaking sound became louder and louder. While Tie Shengwen was on guard with all his strength, he suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart.
Why does this movement sound so strange?
He frowned, and while he was deep in thought, suddenly he heard the chirping sound in the side hall, which became clearer and noisier.
It's just that no matter how it sounds, there is something abnormal about it.
The next moment, the door to the side hall suddenly opened. A burst of black mist, making a gurgling sound, poured out of the hall as if it covered the sky and the sun.
Tie Shengwen was shocked and exclaimed:
"No, go back!"
The guards did not react, but after all, they were all elites selected from those who fought in hundreds of battles, and their obedience was engraved in their bones. When they heard Tie Shengwen's words, they immediately retreated.
But it seemed that it was a little too late to react just now.
The inexplicable black mist had quickly spread in front of them. At this time, everyone could see clearly that the black mist was made up of tiny flying insects with strange shapes.
These small flying insects moved very fast, flying in front of the guard in the blink of an eye and landing directly on the neck of the guard.
The mouthparts, which were as small as cow hairs, easily pierced the skin of the palace guards. Then, the dozens of palace guards suddenly turned black and blue, and fell directly to the ground, their breath gone.
"This, what is this!"
"ah!"
"Run!"
Facing such a strange and extremely poisonous flying insect, no matter how elite the guards were, they couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts and retreated continuously.
Tie Shengwen stood up suddenly, opened the iron fan in his hand, and fanned it violently.
The strong internal force turned into a strong wind and swept up. The strong wind suddenly caused the insects that had been approaching to fly backwards for a long distance.
Unfortunately, within a moment, those little flying insects circled over again.
----------------
In the secret passage, the palace maid Ling'er knelt down on one knee and said respectfully to Nan Rongshu:
"My lord, the clan members have driven the Gu insects and sealed them all into the secret passage of Xiyi Palace!"
Hearing this, Nan Rongshu nodded and sneered:
"Okay! The little emperor didn't know that I had guessed his identity, so he secretly mobilized people to ambush outside Xiyi Palace, trying to guard the exit of the secret passage and catch me off guard. Hum, it turned out to be like this, so I asked him to take some damage first.
manpower!"
Hearing this, Ling'er also echoed:
"My lord is wise! The little emperor is afraid that until now, he still thinks that his lord does not know his identity."
When Nan Rongshu heard this, her eyes were deep and she said:
"The little emperor is a person. If it weren't for his inexperience in the world of martial arts and his accidental collision, I really wouldn't be able to tell!"
Ling'er still wanted to flatter her, but at this moment, she heard a rhythmic knocking sound coming from the exit of the secret passage.
Nan Rongshu raised her hand, and as soon as someone from the Ailao tribe came forward, she opened the iron gate of the secret passage.
A woman dressed as a palace maid walked into the secret passage, knelt down on one knee in front of Nan Rongshu, held her chest and said:
"My lord, there are shouts of killing over there at the Xuanzheng Hall!"
When Nan Rongshu heard this, her eyes lit up, she waved her hand and said:
"Set off!"
The Ailao clan members behind him heard this and responded in unison.
Everyone walked out of the secret passage and appeared in a palace within the palace.
At the exit of the secret passage, Princess Zhang, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Nan Rongshu and immediately saluted:
"My lord!"
The palace at the exit of this secret passage is Princess Zhang's Yongxin Palace.
There were actually two tunnels dug into this palace!
"My lord, everything is ready!" Concubine Zhang said respectfully.
Nan Rongshu nodded and waved his hand, and his tribesmen immediately took action and put on the palace waiter's clothes that had been prepared long ago.
Concubine Zhang glanced at the clansmen, with a slight hesitation on her face, then cautiously approached Nan Rongshu and opened her mouth to speak.
Nan Rongshu glanced at her silently and whispered:
"I know that you have true feelings for the previous emperor of Yun Kingdom. But you must not ruin the family's centuries-old plan just because of your own selfishness!"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhang's face froze, she lowered her head slightly and said in a harsh voice:
"My lord, after all, the little emperor is the late emperor's favorite prince, and he has been in my palace for several years..."
Nan Rongshu's eyes moved, she was silent for a moment, and said:
"The little emperor saved me, I won't kill him!"
Concubine Zhang suddenly raised her head, with a hint of joy on her face, and said:
