Chapter 636: Emperor’s Mercy and Xu Xun’s Judgment
King Ning is dead?
After Zhu Houzhao at the Hue Gate recognized Liu Jin, he suppressed the messy emotions in his heart and was about to mobilize all the accompanying soldiers to reward and punish him before the war, when he suddenly heard such a shout. At first he was still
I thought this was someone in King Ning's formation playing tricks, but after thinking about it, I couldn't possibly curse my master to death. In addition, I was watching the soldiers and generals guarding King Ning, as well as the surrounding private troops, generals and servants.
Everything was in chaos, and he immediately realized that this was a perfect opportunity.
"Zhang Yong, God-given opportunity, lead people to follow me and fight out!"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao pull out his sword and go down the stairs on the other side of the city tower, Ma Yongcheng and others were stunned. Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong exchanged glances. The latter knew that if he went down, he would cause trouble to others, so he immediately
Ma Yongcheng was left with three people, while Zhang Yong called the guards on the left and right to come forward and surrounded Zhu Houzhao. When everyone got off the city wall, they found that the army that had just surrounded the city gate was completely out of order.
, all kinds of shouting could be heard endlessly. When one of these arguments came into his ears, Zhu Houzhao's complexion suddenly changed.
"It was Liu Jin who assassinated Prince Ning!"
Not only did Zhu Houzhao change his expression, but even Zhang Yong was filled with disbelief. Who knew what kind of temper Liu Jin was? How could Liu Jin be able to commit such a life-threatening assassination? However, when he thought of the avant-garde in Nanchang,
Xu Xun and Zhang Yong vaguely realized something, and then they approached Zhu Houzhao as if nothing had happened and whispered: "Your Majesty, the opportunity must not be lost and it will not come back again. It is important to defeat the enemy first!"
"That's right, first defeat the enemy and kill the enemy!"
Zhu Houzhao said something viciously as if to cheer himself up. As the group of them fought their way out like crazy, the guards of the Ning Mansion, who had lost all morale and were like headless flies, suddenly seemed to be scattered.
Sha. Occasionally, there are one or two who are stubbornly resisting, but they can't stop the elite retinue with high morale. But at this time, bursts of loud shouting can be heard from nowhere.
"Prince Ning's Mansion has been destroyed. Prince Ning's Mansion has been destroyed by Nanchang Vanguard!"
The news that their lair and retreat were raided was like the straw that broke the camel's back. It gave people who had no intention of fighting the biggest reason to escape. Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao was dead, and Prince Ning's palace was destroyed. Even if they could bear it
For a moment, can you hold it for a long time? As more and more people escape, the chaos becomes more and more chaotic. For a while, more people are trampled to death rather than killed. Even Zhu Houzhao, who is full of murderous intentions. In Zhang
After Yong himself, surrounded by a group of guards, beheaded three or four people, facing the defeated army, covered in blood, he gradually stopped walking and turned around blankly to look around.
"Already won?"
Zhang Yong waved his hand and asked the imperial guards around him to disperse and defend. Then he stepped forward and whispered carefully: "Report to the emperor, it should be a victory. When Prince Ning died, Prince Ning's palace was taken over by Xu Xun with the Nanchang Vanguard
After breaking through, his eldest son and other sons were captured without any effort, and this chaos can only be controlled in Nanchang Mansion. It is finally a blessing among misfortunes."
"Blessed among misfortunes... Hey, what you said is really good."
Zhu Houzhao raised his hand to wipe his face, and was suddenly stimulated by the smell of blood. He frowned in disgust. He was about to take off his clothes in the street, but in the end he stopped, looked around and said: "Prince Ning's Prince
Where is the elephant? Where is Liu Jin?"
Compared with the first question to ask Prince Ning, the second question to Liu Jin was obviously louder and more urgent. Zhang Yong quickly looked around for a while, and then summoned a Royal Horse Supervisor to send an order to check around. After a while, Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao and Prince Cheng
The elephant chariot was found. However, the splendid elephant chariot at the beginning was turned into a miserable wreckage in the chaos. Red pine boards were scattered everywhere, and those luxurious gilding events were covered with gold leaf.
The board has been stepped on by countless people and has become tattered. The middle-aged man in the car, wearing a king's leather bean, was lying on his back. The gold hairpin, Zhuying and jade gui, etc. on his body were all in ruins...
However, both Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Yong had seen Zhu Chenhao in Prince Ning's Mansion. Although the person's death appearance was extremely hideous, they still recognized him. Zhu Houzhao just glanced at it and turned his head away in disgust, and then said sternly:
"Where's Liu Jin? Have you found Liu Jin?"
Zhang Yong saw that everyone around him was in trouble, and knew that there were corpses everywhere. Secondly, not everyone knew Liu Jin's face, so he could only comfort Zhu Houzhao with a few words, and then picked two of the smartest people to follow him.
Zhu Houzhao had guards on his left and right, while he stood beside the overturned elephant carriage and looked around, judging the direction in which Liu Jin might have fled when the assassination occurred. However, almost instinctively, he gradually became distracted.
Xu Xun was really good at forcing Liu Jin to take this path. If Liu Jin had strong martial arts skills, he might have had a chance to survive among the rebels after the assassination, but Liu Jin couldn't even be called a mediocre martial artist.
Only a corpse was found. Seeing Zhu Houzhao's reaction just now, he was obviously very touched. Xu Xun was not only able to promise Gu Dayong that no harm would be done to his family, but the little emperor might even do more in thinking of his old friendship.
kindness!
To be honest, even without Liu Jin's defection, it would only take a little more effort to achieve a complete victory. Why did Xu Xun have to go around in such circles and do such things just because he agreed to Gu Dayong? Or was it because of his original intention?
How much compassion do you have?
"I found it, I found Eunuch Liu!"
Just when Zhang Yong couldn't figure it out, he suddenly heard the shouts of a royal horse supervisor. When he looked up, he saw Zhu Houzhao, one foot high and one foot low, protected by two guards on the left and right.
He hurriedly ran over there, and he immediately chased after him without hesitation. When he was in front of him, he first saw a pair of blood-stained civilian clothes, and then he recognized the purple-black face.
It was hard to see his true face. In addition to several fatal wounds on his body, there was also a sword that penetrated his chest and nailed Liu Jin to the ground. He was already completely dead.
Zhu Houzhao, who stood there blankly, remembered his suspicions about Liu Jin and his disbelief and anger when he saw Liu Jin standing next to Zhu Chenhao on the city wall. His face suddenly turned pale. After a long time, his body suddenly swayed.
Oh, he fell down like that. Fortunately, Zhang Yong next to him had quick eyes and quick hands to help him, so he didn't hit the big trap.
However, even Zhang Yong couldn't help but take a deep breath when he saw Liu Jin's appearance, and then said to the imperial guards: "Find someone to bury him first. Remember
, you are not allowed to reveal anything about the current affairs!"
These are all people who were on the same boat with Zhu Houzhao on the canal. They can probably guess the true identity of Xu Xun's "cousin". There is no clue. Even though these people were brought by Miao Kui and Zhang Yong in the past two years.
The confidants who came out were very confident, but when they saw that the once-famous Liu Jin ended up like this, more people sighed than applauded.
When Zhu Houzhao woke up and turned around, he saw the tent above him that he was quite familiar with these days, and the bed under him where he had slept for many days. He immediately knew that this was the house of a wealthy businessman that Xu Xun had requisitioned. He supported
He wanted to sit up, but he only felt soreness all over his body. Just as he was about to call someone, he suddenly heard a low conversation coming from outside. He listened for a while, and it didn't take much effort to distinguish it.
The speakers were Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong and Xu Xun. Hearing that the three of them were discussing his condition, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and struggling to sit up. Then he pulled his shoes to the door, only to see the three of them turned around and left.
He took a few steps and stood in the yard.
"Brother Xu, are you really not going to give that thing to the Emperor?"
"Everyone is already dead, why bother showing the emperor something like that again and making him unhappy? Even if the thing is true, Old Liu was probably coerced by Prince Ning, so he made some damn agreement. He wants to be sincere.
How could he backhand stab him when he followed Prince Ning? Even if he once misjudged the wrong person and did the wrong thing, he had already paid for it with his life. As long as he destroyed this thing, no one else would be able to fault him after he returned to the capital.
Come to some sense.”….
Zhang Yong thought about it and said nothing, but Gu Dayong suddenly bowed deeply to Xu Xun. When Xu Xun reached out to help him up, Gu Dayong said in a low voice: "Brother Xu, I will replace Liu
The nephews and relatives at home thank you for your kindness."
"What's the point of it? It's true that he and Ma Yongcheng and the three of them had a falling out, but how could he be so good with the three of us? The worst thing in Lao Liu's life is that he eats alone. If he and we can still be like the emperor in the past
As in the East Palace, everything was discussed and discussed, and we were not so powerful and arbitrary. How could we have reached this point today? In short, when the emperor asks you back, you just say..."
"Just say what?"
Hearing the door creaking, followed by Zhu Houzhao, who was wearing only a middle coat and pulling on his shoes, he walked out. Xu Xun couldn't help but frown, and then stepped forward and grabbed the little emperor's arm.
"Your Majesty, the doctor just came to see you. He said that you were so angry that cold evil entered your body. Don't go outside to blow the wind." Seeing Zhu Houzhao glaring at Gu Dayong and Zhang Yong fiercely, Xu Xun pointed at them.
He waved his hand and then said warmly, "If you really want to ask anything, come to the room and ask us. We will definitely tell you everything you know."
After some persuasion, he persuaded Zhu Houzhao to go back to the house. Seeing that Zhang Yong and Gu Da were busy putting on clothes and shoes for the little emperor, but Zhu Houzhao kept staring at him, he said: "Since the emperor has heard this,
, then I got straight to the point. Old Liu was probably coerced by Zhu Chenhao and used his own blood to sign some messy things for the alliance. After I broke into Prince Ning's mansion before, I just found those things from the study."
Three blunt words came out of Zhu Houzhao's mouth: "Where are the things?"
