From the sound itself.
Shan Ling's voice was not loud, it could even be said to be weak, but Su Qing heard it very clearly this time, so clearly that it made his back feel chilly.
"Actually, this prince has not finished what he said just now. Any perfect plan will have accidents, right? Your Highness, Mr. Su!"
Shan Ling's words echoed in Su Qing's mind.
The smile on his face had completely disappeared and became extremely stiff. What was as stiff as his expression was his hand, the hand that lifted up the carriage curtain.
Stiffly fixed in the air.
like a statue.
Why is this happening? Why!
Su Qing's eyes were fixed on the carriage. He didn't believe it. He really didn't believe it. He was absolutely sure of the plan this time.
In fact, the plan has been rolling in the direction he expected, even smoother than he expected.
Fang Zhengzheng's crime in the Southern Territory was confirmed. This was something that everyone had seen with their own eyes. With such a heinous crime, coupled with Fang Zhengzheng's daily performance.
In desperation, he killed Shan Ling.
So normal!
Even if some people really don't believe it, so what
It is impossible for a dead person to get up and talk again. As long as he and Prince Lin Tianrong insist that Shan Ling was killed by Fang Zhengzheng, then this will be a fact.
but…
What if Fang Zhengzheng is not dead? !
Su Qing's body was very stiff, but after being stiff for a moment, he slowly turned his head behind him and looked at Prince Lin Tianrong not far behind him.
As the dignified prince of Daxia, Lin Tianrong has always disdained the remarks of losers.
But…
At this moment, when he heard Shan Ling's words, his expression completely changed.
Because, from his angle, he could clearly see the expression on Su Qing's face. Of course, more importantly, he could also see the scene inside the carriage.
Prince Lin Tianrong has always paid attention to the word "stable" when doing things over the years, because he is already the prince, and he will not move if he is not absolutely sure.
But this time, he moved.
Because the temptation this time is too great.
Anbang and the country are settled!
No one's merit can overshadow this one. Even if this is a merit that cannot be commended openly, as long as you do this one thing, what do you have to worry about in the future
only…
There is another important link in this plan, a fatal link, that is, Fang Zhengzheng must die, must die!
"You... you let Fang Zhengzheng go?!" Prince Lin Tianrong's voice was trembling, because he never thought that Fang Zhengzheng could escape.
Is it difficult to kill someone who is poisoned and unconscious
Of course it’s not difficult!
Not to mention the fact that Prince Lin Tianrong was followed by eight disciples, even an extremely ordinary sergeant could do this perfectly.
But now...
The carriage was empty, empty!
There is only one possibility for such a result, that is, Shan Ling releases Fang Zhengzheng, because only Shan Ling has the antidote to the poison that Fang Zhengzheng has suffered.
"Hahaha, what do you think, His Majesty the Crown Prince?" Shan Ling laughed so crazily that his body could no longer move and his chest was stained red with blood. However, at this moment, he was laughing from the bottom of his heart. .
"Death!" Prince Lin Tianrong moved.
The long sword in his hand stabbed out directly, turning into a stream of light and stabbing Shan Ling.
But Shan Ling didn't move.
He just watched quietly, watching the sword thrust towards him and piercing his throat, with a smile still on his face, a crazy smile.
Until the world in front of him completely disappeared from his sight.
Darkness, total darkness.
Prince Lin Tianrong looked at Shan Ling, who still had his eyes open. He felt hatred in his heart. In fact, when Shan Ling raised the knife in his hand, he could actually wait until Shan Ling ended Fang Zhengzheng's life before attacking Shan Ling. Ling takes action.
However, he did not wait.
Because, what does a poisoned person have to worry about when he is already wasted
So, he took action.
but now…
"Chase! We must kill Fang Zhengzheng!" Prince Lin Tianrong's voice almost screamed.
"Yes!" After hearing the words of Prince Lin Tianrong, the eight disciples moved in an instant. The eight people turned into eight streams of light and chased them in eight different directions.
The night is getting dark.
The blood on the ground was still stained with a touch of white frost.
"prick!"
The sword at Shan Ling's throat was pulled out, and drops of blood fell on the frost-white grass. The air was filled with pressure and coldness.
But none of this can compare with the expression of Prince Lin Tianrong, which was extremely gloomy, as gloomy as the abyss of eternity.
He doesn't allow a single mistake to be made in the battle for leadership.
But he also understood how difficult it was to catch someone in this dense jungle.
His soft eyes looked into the distance, at the dark jungle, and then slowly returned his gaze to the long sword stained with blood in his hand.
"prick!"
The sword thrust out again.
Blood splatters!
However, this time, his sword did not stab Shan Ling, nor Su Qing beside him, but his own chest.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Su Qing's body trembled and he knelt down on the ground.
"Not dead? Hahaha... not dead! Good... very good. I would like to see if you dare to stand in front of my father alive and confront him!" Prince Lin Tianrong's eyes flashed with coldness, and he opened his mouth and took a mouthful. Blood spurted out.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is forbearing like this. The battle for the throne must belong to the Crown Prince. I, Su Qing, am willing to follow him to the death!" Su Qing looked at the sword on Prince Lin Tianrong's chest and could certainly understand what Prince Lin Tianrong was thinking.
Frivolous Southern Princess!
With Fang Zhengzheng's current achievements, of course he won't die, but what if he adds to this crime the murder of the Crown Prince of the Southern Region and the stabbing of the Crown Prince of Daxia
Even if you have great achievements, you will definitely die!
…
…
In the early morning, the southern region finally received its first snow since the beginning of winter.
Thousands of snowflakes fell from the sky, bringing with them an intrusive chill, paving the world of lush trees into a silvery white.
The Holy Mountain City was completely covered with snow.
However, there is a group of figures in the white snow, with thick vine armor covering their bodies. Under them, they are all riding a two-meter-tall giant beast.
It was a ferocious beast that looked like a wolf, with green-black hair covering its body and a silver horn on its forehead, but it was definitely two or three times larger than the wolf.
Silver Horned Wolf Rider!
The most elite force in the Southern Region.
Logically speaking, the Silver Horned Wolf Rider should be extremely fast, and would run freely even on snow-covered mountains.
However, this group of silver-horned wolf riders did not move very fast.
Step by step, the first step seemed extremely heavy and difficult, and behind them, there was still a long series of deep footprints.
In this way, slowly, he walked towards the royal palace of the Holy Mountain City.
Snow is falling one after another.
The sky was extremely dark.
The royal palace on the Holy Mountain City, as white as jade, was vaguely visible, and was already close before our eyes. However, none of the Silver Horned Wolf Riders showed an excited expression on their faces.
Dignified, extremely dignified.
None of the silver-horned wolf riders spoke a word. In the air, there were only the footsteps of the silver-horned wolf and the snort of the silver-horned wolf from time to time.
finally…
The silver-horned wolf rode in front of the palace and stopped.
None of the soldiers guarding the palace came forward to ask. Everyone looked at the team of silver-horned wolf riders, watching quietly and waiting.
Until, the door of the royal palace slowly opened.
"Crunch, crunch!"
The door covered with ice and snow seemed a bit heavy, and the dark molten iron poured on the door was very cold, but the door still opened slowly.
"Ouch!"
The moment the door opened, the silver-horned wolves let out a neat roar, and the sound echoed in the sky of the Holy Mountain City and spread into the distance.
However, the silver-horned wolves did not move.
Because, in the middle of the door, there was a person standing right now.
It was a man wearing a snow-white fur hat on his head, and his broad body was covered with a snow-white animal skin. The animal skin was covered with thick white snow. You can imagine how long this man stood in the heavy snow.
And behind this man.
There was also a woman standing, the same snow-white animal skin, the same thick white snow, wheat-colored skin, black eyes, slender legs, with two daggers tied to them.
She is Princess Shan Yu!
So…
The man standing in front of her was naturally the King of the South Territory.
Of course the Silver Horned Wolf Riders saw the King of the Southern Territory, they also saw Princess Shan Yu, as well as the chiefs and generals of all sizes standing behind Princess Shan Yu.
However, at this moment, no one of them came forward to salute, and no one knelt down. They were still riding on the silver-horned wolf and stayed in place quietly.
This is a strange scene.
What's even more weird is that the South Territory King's body trembled at this moment, and then his legs weakened and he knelt down directly.
"Ling'er!"
A sad voice came from the mouth of the South Territory King. His silver-dyed hair was blown by the wind and snow, and two tears slipped from his cheeks and fell to the ground.
This old man, who has been traveling in the Southern Region for decades, never shed a tear even when he faced the most terrifying enemy on the battlefield.
But at this moment...
But he couldn't stop the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Boom!"
As the King of the South Territory knelt down, Princess Shan Yu, as well as the chiefs and generals behind her all also knelt down. The ground shook and white snow splashed.
"Woo!" The melodious trombone sounded from the wall of the palace.
At the same time, one by one, the silver-horned wolves finally knelt down, kneeling on their front legs and raising their hind legs. However, the silver-horned wolf riders on the silver-horned wolves did not move.
The wind and snow blew by, but their bodies did not waver at all.
because…
On their shoulders, they were carrying a huge black tree.
It was a big tree that had gone through an unknown number of years, and it was unknown when it was cut down. Various patterns were carved on the giant black wood.
It is exactly the same as the pattern on the wall of the royal palace.
The molten iron was poured onto the giant black wood, making the already heavy black giant tree even heavier.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is a person lying on the huge black tree. A sheet of white animal skin covers the person's body, but it still cannot cover up the bright red color inside.
He is Shan Ling.
The Crown Prince of the Southern Territory was destined to become the next King of the Southern Territory, but now he was lying on the giant black tree.
"Where did the prince go? Where did the others go! Why didn't he come back? Is he still afraid that the king would kill him?!" The voice of the King of the Southern Territory rang again.
"Back to the king, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is seriously injured and unconscious. He is being sent to Daxia!" A silver-horned wolf rider spoke at this time.
"Seriously injured? Are you unconscious? What injuries did you suffer? Why are you unconscious?" The Southern Territory King's expression changed and he asked again.
"Chest! Less than a finger away from the heart, a sword penetrated it!" Silver Wolf Rider quickly replied.
"One finger away from the heart?! Hahaha... One finger away from the heart, hahaha..." The South Territory King smiled, it was a smile of extreme anger. His fists were clenched at this moment, and his body was even more intense. trembled.
Immediately afterwards, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
"puff!"
The bright red blood spilled on the snow, adding another bright red flower to the white ground.
"Father!" Princess Shanyu rushed forward at this time and hugged the body of the Southern Territory King. Her body was also trembling a little, and there was deep hatred in her dark eyes.
However, she only said the word "father" and then said nothing more.
Because she knows the current situation very clearly, what kind of situation it is, and she knows even more clearly what can and cannot be said.
"Yu'er, your eldest brother and second brother are gone, and now even your third brother..." The King of the South Territory looked at Princess Shan Yu. The silver-white hair was dyed on his face, making the wrinkles on his face look even more... The depth.
"Father, you still have a daughter!" Princess Shanyu placed her palms in the snow. The thick white snow completely covered her palms, making it impossible to tell that the hands had been squeezed tightly into a ball. fist.
"Yes... I also have a daughter, a daughter who can support the entire Southern Territory!" The Southern Territory King's eyes lit up at this moment, and then he also stood up.
Red light lit up from his body, and the white snow covering his body dissipated in an instant, and the thick white mist slowly rose into the sky.
"By this royal order, from today onwards, Princess Shan Yu will be in charge of all military and political affairs in the Southern Region!"
"yes!"
"Father, Shan Yu is still young, and father..." Princess Shan Yu's body trembled when she heard this, and her dark eyes suddenly opened wide.
As a princess of the Southern Territory.
Although she was born into the Shan royal family, she had never thought that one day she would be in charge of military and political affairs on her father's behalf, because only the future King of the Southern Territory had the right to do so.
"Stop talking, my father has already made a decision. Where is the Fire Crow?" The King of the South Territory shook his head, and gently touched Shan Yu's hair with his wrinkled hands, casually, and his expression was slightly stern.
"Go back to the king, I'm here!" A thin man walked out of the crowd.
It is the chief of the Fire Crow Tribe, Fire Crow.
"Well, on my behalf, you go to Yanjing City and ask for a decree from the Holy One to confer Princess Shan Yu as the new King of the Southern Territory. In addition, please ask for 800,000 dans of military rations, 100,000 pounds of gold, and silver..." Southern Territory While Wang was talking, he was also drawing numbers on the snow.
"Your Majesty, this... we have always had a relationship with Daxia. We have always paid tribute to Daxia, and Daxia has always given us some books to lend us. I think... maybe Daxia with one hundred thousand gold I will give it, but will Daxia really give it 800,000 tons of military rations?" Huo Ya looked at the numbers on the snow and was completely stunned.
Because he knew all too well how terrifying these numbers were. They were nothing more than numbers. They were simply a terrifying amount of money to build an army.
Not only Huo Ya was shocked, but the other chiefs and generals standing behind were also shocked, because such a thing had never happened before.
"Yes, they will definitely give it!" The Southern Territory King looked at the chiefs and generals behind him, and his tone was extremely certain.
"Understood!" Huo Ya finally nodded after hearing this.
"Father, you asked Daxia for so many supplies in one go, do you want to..." Princess Shan Yu looked at this scene, and her expression suddenly changed.
"No! Yu'er, this is just a gift from your father to you to ascend to the throne. You are born as a daughter. To ascend the throne, you must spread kindness widely. These gifts are just for showing favor to you. The Holy One knows this. That’s why he will definitely give it! However, it is up to you to decide how to use these supplies, because you are the future King of the Southern Territory!"
When the King of the Southern Territory said this, he once again looked around at the chiefs and generals behind him. The fiery red light on his body flickered with the wind and snow.
"Follow Princess Shan Yu to the death!" The chiefs and generals looked at the Southern Territory King and looked at each other. Finally, they all knelt down.
Princess Shan Yu's body trembled again, but this time she did not kneel. She stood up straight because she knew that she would be carrying a heavy burden on her shoulders.
The burden of the Southern Territory.
Her black eyes looked at the chiefs and generals who were kneeling on the ground in front of them. She did not speak, but slowly moved her gaze into the distance.
There, it was a silvery white, with countless trees covered with white snow bending slightly, and that direction was exactly the direction of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Of course, Daxia is not alone in that direction.
Because there is a large tribe in that direction. The name of that tribe is Han Yuan, and at the gate of Han Yuan tribe, there is a sword.
A sword stuck in the wind valley of Han Yuan tribe.
The sword is not long, because more than half of the sword is inserted deep into the ground. White snow covers the wind valley, and cold wind swirls above the wind valley.
The temperature here is undoubtedly the coldest in the Southern Region. When the thick white snow falls, it has already turned into frost. The crystal clear frost completely wraps the sword, and a strange purple light flows slowly on the blade.
