Su Jingcheng stood here, originally waiting for the old emperor to come over, but now it was just right. The officials standing under the stage were a little unable to react for a moment. What happened to the fifth prince today? He suddenly became so arrogant. Is it possible? Aren't you crazy
"Father, you are not ambitious enough, so you are willing to be the king of this country honestly, and even chose Su Jingxian, who is equally cowardly and has insufficient achievements, to succeed you. In this case, today I want to show my father Look, what a real king should look like!"
Su Jingcheng was not willing to be subordinate to anyone, nor did he like to see the harmony between the Bei'an and Southern Qi factions. He had long wanted to instigate the old emperor to attack Bei'an, but the old emperor did not like wars raging and affecting the people, so he had always been right The fifth prince's attitude was unclear, but he did not expect that the fifth prince would do such a thing after he established himself as heir apparent.
"Lao Wu, if you come down now, I can still think of father and son's sake and let you live!" The old emperor really never thought that his son would do such a thing, but after all, it was his own My son, you can't just watch him do something wrong.
"Father, I may be saying the opposite. Maybe my son and I let you off for the sake of father and son! Hahahahaha..."
Su Jingcheng's body swayed, and he looked up to the sky and roared. A general in the audience had already taken advantage of his arrogance and aimed at Su Jingcheng with a bow and arrow in his hand. However, he did not expect that the arrow had just left the string and was struck aside in mid-air. The other feather arrow broke in the air.
Everyone present was obviously startled by such a scene and looked at each other, but they could not find the source of the other bow and arrow.
The old emperor narrowed his eyes, "Old Five, you actually prepared an army in advance with the intention of rebelling!" The terrain around this hunting ground was originally flat, and even if Su Jingcheng deliberately hid his men, they would not be able to escape from the old place. With his eyes, around the dense forest, Dao Guang was already rushing to his position.
"Father is indeed a battle-hardened man. I originally thought that father would persist until the end." Su Jingcheng smiled contemptuously at the old emperor, "Father, I have been planning for so long. Just wait. It's been a day like this, my father, if you were a smart man, you would have stepped down from the throne wisely, and don't wait for your son to take action. At that time, my father's face may not look good."
Su Jingcheng was so sure of victory now that even his father no longer looked down upon him, and he was so arrogant that he almost stepped onto the throne.
"I would also like to thank my father. If my father hadn't promised Shen Qianshan to leave Su Jingxian, my son would not have had the opportunity to plot against Su Jingxian. Now my father's only hope is still in a coma, but my father The emperor no longer has any hope for your good son, because he will also go directly to Huangquan in a coma, so as not to suffer much."
Su Jingcheng has been taught since he was a child that anyone who prevents him from ascending to the throne must be eliminated ruthlessly. Sure enough, today he can ascend to that position after removing all obstacles, including his father. After all the others who did not allow him to sit on the throne, that position was finally within his reach.
"You! These are the people closest to you, and you are planning all kinds of tricks!" The old emperor was so angry that he almost lost his breath. "No wonder the people in Qintian Prison said you were a disaster star when you were born. , the Grand Tutor and the ministers have reminded me countless times that you have wolfish ambitions, it’s only because of the deep love between father and son that I didn’t take precautions against you earlier, so you have such an opportunity today!”
"Father, what is the meaning of what you are saying now? Look at the people around this paddock. They are all arranged by me. As long as I give my order, everyone here, including you, will They will all die in my hands. Is it possible that until now, my father is still unwilling to hand over the military power in his hands? You must know that this place is not a palace. There are no Ouchi guards you are familiar with. Everything up and down here has been mine. of people…”
"That's not necessarily true. I really don't know where the fifth brother got his self-confidence. How can he be so sure? You know, this paddock is full of military generals from the court. If it's a head-on confrontation, it's not necessarily true. Who will win?" Su Jingxian walked out from behind the stage with a disdainful smile in his eyes, "Are you so sure, fifth brother, that I must be seriously injured and unconscious and not just pretending?"
Looking at Shen Qianshan next to Su Jingxian, Su Jingcheng also understood what was going on. Shen Qianshan was indeed unfathomable and could predict his own plans, but now it seemed that it was of no use.
"No wonder the emperor of Bei'an has always mentioned this Ninth Prince as his personal thorn in the side. He has tried to kill you several times, but without success. He is indeed very resourceful, but even if you could predict that I would attack Su Jingxian, now that the situation has become such that everyone inside and outside the paddock has been surrounded by my people, is it possible that you still want to give everyone a pair of wings and let them fly out?"
Su Jingcheng is a crazed person. Shen Qianshan had already expected this. However, it was precisely because of his arrogance that he gave himself the time to prepare for this matter. "Your Highness, the Fifth Prince, since I am I already expected that you would ambush His Highness the Crown Prince, how did you know that I didn’t plan the next steps well?”
Shen Qianshan took a step forward and drew out his long sword, "There are still many things you don't know, so I might as well take a gamble with you now and see how you give orders to the guards outside. See if there is anyone among them who can use your command?"
The speed at which Su Jingxian's troops were assembled really surprised Shen Qianshan. Even he himself might not be able to reach this speed. In just over an hour, Su Jingxian's remaining troops had already gathered around the paddock. Because of his numerical advantage, he quickly controlled the Fifth Prince's troops. At this time, the Fifth Prince's troops had already been tightly controlled. Shen Qianshan now fully has this confidence. Even if Su Jingcheng really gives orders now, no one can obey him.
"Shen Qianshan, you have to be careful. Where are you now? This is the paddock of Nan Qi, not your Bei'an country. Why do you have such confidence? Can you win against me on my territory?" Su Jingcheng is now He was already confident. Even if Shen Qianshan could predict what his next move would be, he was still an outsider after all. Su Jingxian's current military strength was completely insufficient to compete with him. At this point, he was absolutely assured. .
"Fifth Prince, there is no harm in trying. If Qianshan loses today, he will serve the Fifth Prince from now on. Isn't this what the Fifth Prince wants most?"
Shen Qianshan is sure that he can defeat Su Jingcheng. Su Jingcheng is just a beast struggling to death. "Shen Qianshan, even if you change direction and want to join me now, I may not accept you. Since you I have already said it, so it seems that it is time for me to give you some clues. Do you know what the consequences will be for pretending to be smart?" Su Jingcheng turned his head, "Come on, do it!"
Su Jingcheng held the knife in his hand for a long time, but there was still no reaction from the people ambushing around the paddock. Su Jingcheng looked back strangely, but saw a man walking out from the depths of the jungle covered in blood. Shen Qianshan's His heart tightened subconsciously. He didn't arrange anyone in that position originally, so what is the origin of this person
Thinking of the short arrow shot from nowhere, Shen Qianshan suddenly didn't know what kind of reaction he should make. It wasn't until the person walking out of the depths of the forest got closer that he looked at it. When he came out, the person walking towards him was An Ye.
In fact, An Ye had just arrived in Nan Qi, and happened to catch up with Su Jingxian's guards who were gathering troops. Su Jingxian's guards recognized An Ye and told him what had happened. An Ye was afraid that something might happen to Shen Qianshan, so he sneaked into the paddock secretly. Thinking that he just happened to bump into someone who was firing the Hidden Blade deep in the jungle, he couldn't stop him at first, but fortunately it didn't cause any damage. An Ye took advantage of him not paying attention and killed him with a sword from behind. There was blood all over his body.
"Your Highness the Fifth Prince, I don't know how things have developed so far. Do you have anything else to say? It seems that you have been dealt with by His Highness the Prince and my people. It seems that I won the bet. Even now, I might as well tell you that a king is a man of great virtue, but a person like you who is petty and scheming and plans to murder his own relatives will never be able to sit on that throne."
"You're talking nonsense!" Su Jingcheng saw that everything he had painstakingly arranged came to nothing, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritated, "According to what you said, Shen Zhongbai shouldn't be sitting on the throne, so why did he do it so securely? But I cannot become the emperor of this country!"
Shen Qianshan was too lazy to explain to him anymore. He looked at Su Jingxian beside him, whose expression had returned to its original state, "Your Highness, it seems that the next thing is your family matter, and it is not convenient for me to participate."
"If you are making such strong words, then I have nothing else to say. Father, my fifth brother has rebelled against his superiors, so I ask my father to make a decision."
Su Jingcheng knelt on the ground in despair. He never thought that things would develop to this point. He was obviously fully prepared, but because of Shen Qianshan who came out midway, everything was ruined by him. .
