"What a great Huo Tong, I want to see how long you can last!" Seeing that Huo Tong was able to withstand the pressure he released and did not kneel down, Yaozun's face suddenly turned ferocious. stand up. His feet suddenly took a step forward. Huo Tong's figure suddenly straightened up, and a blood arrow spurted out in response.
"Sir..." Chang Wen opened his mouth and shouted subconsciously.
But before Chang Wen could finish what he said, Yaozun's eyes, which were even colder than a knife, stole towards him, and his voice was as cold as ice: "What, you want to die too?"
Yaozun's ferocious expression and cold words that made people tremble confirmed Chang Wen's guess. Yuntianmen and the Jin family must have had something happen with the eldest prince. Judging from the postures of Yaozun and Gao and his son, they were ready to turn against the eldest prince. And he and Huo Tong, as the right-hand men of the eldest prince, were naturally included in the list. Entering the target they must eradicate first.
What happened in the middle that caused the Jin family and Yuntianmen, who had always supported the eldest prince, to suddenly change their focus 180 degrees? Chang Wen's heart was full of doubts and puzzled. However, I am still confused at normal temperature, but I am happy to see this all come to fruition! In fact, when Chang Wen learned what the eldest prince had done to his mother, revenge began to flourish in his heart like a nourished seed.
Plop!
With a dull sound, Huo Tong finally failed to hold on and knelt heavily on the ground, causing the ground paved with bluestone to crack into dense turtle patterns.
"Why are you still standing there? Cut off the head of this traitor!" Seeing Huo Tong finally submit, Gao Zifu immediately showed a ferocious smile, waved his hand and shouted.
The generals who had been knocked away by Huo Tong before came to their senses, pulled out their swords one after another, and rushed towards Huo Tong.
"Gao, and you old guy, even if I, Huo Tong, become a ghost, I will never let you go!" Huo Tong gritted his teeth, and every word was squeezed out from between his teeth. What came out was full of blood-curdling resentment.
"Hmph! I've heard what you said many times, but I haven't seen a single ghost! If you can really become a ghost, that would be very new! Hahaha... chop him down!" Yaozun laughed wildly. , the dust on the beams of the house that was shaking fell down.
A knife blade flashing with cold light was raised high at the same time. How could it be that the posture was just to chop Huo Tong's head? It's like chopping him into pieces!
"When~~~" Just when the blade was about to cut down, the deep and solemn chime of the bell suddenly resounded through the sky.
"Your Majesty, this is the bell for the meeting, we..." Gao Zifu turned his head and glanced at Huo Tong, then looked at Yaozun respectfully.
"Anyway, Huo Tong is a garrison general appointed by the emperor, and his status is extraordinary. Even if he wants to be executed, he must get the approval of the eldest prince!"
Chang Wen blurted out involuntarily after working with Huo Tong for many years, and still had feelings for each other.
Yaozun glanced at him sideways, and suddenly laughed coldly, saying, "Okay! Let the eldest prince personally issue the edict and execute Huo Tong in public! In this way, he can also kill a chicken to worship!"
Yaozun knew that Huo Tong was a close confidant of the eldest prince, and asked the eldest prince to personally issue an edict to kill Huo Tong. This was clearly an attempt to slap the eldest prince in the face in public. It's not enough to just eliminate the eldest prince's right-hand man, but it also has to deal a heavy blow to the eldest prince's prestige and status. This is simply a desperate plan that leaves no one a living.
Among the civil and military officials, Chang Wen was by no means the only smart one. The ministers in the camp of the second prince and the third princess also smelled something unusual. On the surface, they looked calm and silent, as if they were indifferent. In fact, they My mind is spinning at an alarming frequency.
"Okay! Then follow what the venerable said! Come here, tie up Huo Tong for me! Tie it up tightly, this mad dog is very strong! Hehe..." Gao Zifu said with an evil smile.
The bell rang nine times, and the civil and military ministers entered the palace in sequence. Yaozun walked in the front, followed closely by Gao Zifu and Chang Wen. The civil and military ministers lined up in four rows, silently, each abiding by the rules. Huo Tong, on the other hand, was escorted by two Forbidden Army guards and finally walked into the hall.
Everything was different from usual, but when all the ministers raised their heads, they all exclaimed almost in unison, and even the Medicine Master was stunned involuntarily.
The person sitting on the throne at this time is not the eldest prince, but the emperor Duan Wenyuan who has not been in court for a long time! It's just that Duan Wenyuan at this time has his eyes closed and is unconscious. He no longer has the imperial domineering spirit that dominated Yunei in the past. However, the prestige accumulated over the years does not mean that it is nothing. Even if Wen Yuan is unconscious at this time, he can already It was a huge mountain that weighed heavily on the minds of civil and military officials throughout the dynasty.
When everyone's eyes fell on Duan Wenyuan, Chang Wen's eyes were like nails on Wandong, who stood motionless like a mountain on the right side of Duan Wenyuan. His excitement was like water that was gradually boiling. The face intensified. Chang Wen never dreamed that he would see Wandong in the court of the Tie Zhan Dynasty. This surprise, this doubt, even with the calmness and sophistication of normal temperature, was somewhat uncontrollable for a moment, causing his body to tremble slightly involuntarily.
If Wandong hadn't stopped him with his eyes in time, he might have done something inappropriate.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!" Along with the pitiful shouts, some of the civil and military ministers knelt down and cried bitterly.
At a quick glance, these people include old ministers who are devoted to the Duan family and Duan Wenyuan, and loyal ministers who have suffered a lot of grievances and eagerly hope that Duan Wenyuan can support them and restore the world. Duan Yanlong's eyes swept over these people one by one, and at the same time he remembered them all in his heart. These talents are the real backbone of the Iron War Dynasty!
"Shut up! It's not the time for you to cry in mourning yet!" Yaozun did not expect that Duan Yanlong would bring Duan Wenyuan to this court. He couldn't understand Duan Yanlong's plan for a while, and was about to analyze it in detail. But he was distracted by the crying around him and couldn't concentrate. He waved his hand and shouted sharply.
"Honorable Sir, we haven't seen my father for a long time. We are excited and can't help ourselves. Why are you angry?" Duan Yanlong stood on the left side of Duan Wenyuan and turned to look at Wan Dong, who was standing on the right with an expressionless face. , who was originally a little anxious, miraculously became calmer. When he looked down at Yaozun again, he immediately lost a lot of fear, and felt that the other party seemed to be nothing special.
"Eldest Prince, His Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition and cannot withstand the torment. Why did you bring him here without even saying a word to me? Do you know how dangerous it is to do this?" Yaozun's eyes narrowed slightly. , revealed a cold light from Dawson, staring at Duan Yanlong, his words full of threats. As for Wandong, he didn't even look at him. In my heart, I naturally regarded him as the eldest prince's little follower. Like Wu Liang, he was full of foolish loyalty and a fool who didn't know whether to live or die!
"Haha... My father's health is indeed in bad shape, but it is far from dangerous! Besides, I invited my father here today for no other reason than to treat him!"
"Cure? What a joke! Even I am helpless to cure the emperor's disease. Where in the world can anyone else cure it?"
"Your Majesty, I definitely don't mean to look down on you. But in this big world, there are still capable people. You know, there is heaven outside the sky, and there are people above us!"
"Ha! From what the eldest prince said, it seems that he has found an expert who is more capable than me! Well, today, I will open my eyes wide and take a good look at what extraordinary abilities this expert has! "
The eldest prince sneered and said, "You really need to open your eyes and watch carefully, because today this master not only wants to cure my father's illness, but also wants to catch the person who harmed my father and kill him." Shattered into pieces!"
When Duan Yanlong said the first word, he still had a full smile on his face, but at the end of the sentence, all the smiles on his face turned into ice, and his expression was terrifyingly gloomy and cold.
"you… "
Looking at the eldest prince with eyes as sharp as knives and an aggressive expression, Yaozun's heart sank involuntarily. At this time, the eldest prince seemed to be a different person.
"Your Highness, Gao Zifu harmed me, you must make the decision for me!" Just when Yaozun was wondering whether the eldest prince had taken the wrong medicine, Huo Tong, who was tied up by Wu Hua, suddenly knocked away the two Forbidden Army guards, and even He rushed forward in a hurry.
Seeing Huo Tong's bloody and embarrassed look, Duan Yanlong couldn't help being surprised and asked quickly, "Huo Tong, what's wrong with you?"
"Your Highness, the last general..."
"Huo Tong conspired to rebel. He actually wanted to kill the minister. He was captured on the spot by His Majesty. He was specially brought to ask for His Majesty's permission to execute him!" Huo Tong just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Gao Zifu, who shouted to Duan Yanlong with an imposing manner.
"What!? That's nonsense! Huo Tong is my confidant and has always been loyal to me. How can he rebel?"
Others didn't know what was going on, but Duan Yanlong knew it very well. The Jin family and Yuntianmen saw that the overall situation was about to be decided, and his puppet was of no use anymore, so they couldn't wait to suppress him. This was a typical killing of the donkey. How could Duan Yanlong not be angry
"Your Highness, Huo Tong's crimes have been witnessed by all the ministers present! If I am talking nonsense, Your Highness will know after asking!" All of this was originally the established plan of the Jin family and Yuntianmen, and at this time, Yao Zun came for him. He supported him, and Gao Zifu could be said to have no scruples. What he said was extremely rude, and he confronted Duan Yanlong on the spot.
Duan Yanlong didn't even need to ask. As soon as Gao Zifu finished speaking, the civil and military affairs of the court exploded. Ministers rushed to testify for Gao Zifu and criticized Huo Tong. They all looked so indignant, as if Huo Tong had raped their mother! (To be continued)
