The footsteps slowly stopped, and looking at King Chu's face, which was already pale and gray, the sickly face seemed to have become much older in the blink of an eye. It was obvious that he knew that the situation was over and there was no way to recover, and his unwilling heart was completely lost. rock bottom.
Suddenly, he suddenly realized something and glared at the concubine fiercely, his eyes filled with annoyance. She was indeed a powerful woman! How dare you play tricks under his nose and easily fool you.
'A forgotten pearl'? Doesn't it refer to her son who was sent to the fiefdom - King Ruikang!
It turns out that that night she was hinting that she would go to Liangzhou to look for reinforcements...
It's a pity that he didn't understand this mystery at all at that time!
Oh, but it’s still too early to say who will win. Even if he dies, he will drag Jin Rui with him to the underworld!
Prince Hongli seemed to have regained his consciousness after being shocked for a long time at this moment. With a sad face, he shouted in pain to the King of Chu: "Father, stop it!"
Even if Uncle Wang really did those things, he should not be dealt with by his father, a minister. Even if he was shocked by the truth, he could not just watch their brothers kill each other!
However, Crown Prince Hongli's deeply painful words not only failed to persuade King Chu at all, but instead aroused his even greater anger. He screamed like a hurricane, "Stop?! Easier said than done! As the saying goes, there is no way to draw a bow. Turning around, how can this king hold back?! So what if the army is defeated? What if he can’t get the throne? Fortunately, I restrained him, then I am the final winner! Jin Rui, there are more than one Time, you just wait in this cage tailor-made for you, suffer the pain of thousands of piercings, and die without a burial place! Hahaha... "
His hysteria and stubbornness made Crown Prince Hongli stagger back two steps. After several conflicts, he finally closed his eyes slowly and painfully, and said firmly, "This is what my father forced me to do." The kid did this!"
King Chu was slightly startled by these words, and he immediately stopped laughing maniacally.
"Uncle Wang, the mechanism that opens the black iron cage is those sharp thorns. With the shorter sharp thorn in the center as the center, according to the Eight Diagrams, it is based on Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui. Push the eight long thorns surrounding the short thorns in sequence, and you can...smoothly open the iron gate." Crown Prince Hongli kept his eyes tightly closed, as if deliberately avoiding the angry gaze of King Chu, with a choked voice. It foreshadows his helplessness and the deep pain after making this decision.
It turned out that when Prince Hongli knew that the king was being held hostage by the King of Chu in a black iron cage, he immediately thought of the hermit master who had a close personal relationship with the King of Chu. Therefore, before rushing to Chanzhou, he secretly found After passing him, he finally found out the location of the agency through coercion and coercion.
The reason why he waited until now to speak out was originally to give his father a chance to atone for his sins. If his father could wake up in time, reveal the location of the mechanism with his own words, and release Uncle Wang, then Uncle Wang would be angry with his father for his rebellion. For his behavior, he would also think of the brotherhood of the same line, and treat him a little bit. If he could only cut down his clan, remove his title, and demote him to a commoner, he would at least have a way out.
But now... my father's stubbornness and unrepentance have finally ended his own life!
Thinking of this, Crown Prince Hongli's elegant face was covered with a heavy layer of pain.
The man's sudden reminder was obviously beyond everyone's expectations. Brother Shu Wuluan looked at Yan Qisha in surprise, but saw a slightly surprised look on his face. It was obvious that he did not know about Crown Prince Hongli in advance. Already know how to open the mechanism.
However, she could also guess why Crown Prince Hongli wanted to hide the secret from Yan Qisha and wait until now to reveal the secret. It was just to leave a way for his father to realize his life. However, the King of Chu was already so mad that he could not extricate himself. Self-destruction of this opportunity he deliberately left for him!
Although she had known for a long time that Prince Hongli had a respectful and upright character, she was still extremely shocked by his righteous decision to kill off his relatives. After all, how sad was he in his heart when he made this difficult decision? It's really hard for her to understand!
"No..." Following this furious and hoarse exclamation, accompanied by the 'click-click' sound of the sharp thorns on the iron wall shrinking, the solid and unbreakable iron door was finally opened, and the monarch and the concubine walked out safely. into the prison where he had been trapped for many days.
Duan saw that King Chu's face was as pale as gray at this moment. He didn't know whether he was angry or frightened, and he threw himself from the chair to the ground.
Xia Xuefenglei, who was standing by the side, saw this and was about to capture the evil fawn when he saw a cold light flash past.
Immediately afterwards, a bloody red jet poured onto the black crystal stone ground, instantly melting into darkness. Looking at King Chu who was lying on the ground, a sword mark suddenly appeared on his neck, and the long sword in his hand The sword was dripping with thick, blinding blood.
Brother Shu Wuluan quickly blocked the two masters and looked at the scene in front of him in shock. Only when he came into contact with the blood-stained sword in King Chu's hand did he realize that it was the guard who only wanted to take down the sword before. The two secret guards of King Chu ignored the long sword left on the ground, thus giving King Chu the opportunity to kill himself.
However, no one expected that the King of Chu would suddenly kill himself with a sword. However, he had been hit by anesthetic needles before and lacked strength. The sword cut was not deep. It could not kill him for a while, but if he was not in time, He may not survive long without treatment to stop the bleeding.
Thinking about it, she silently looked back, only to see the monarch's expression was calm, and he was looking at the King of Chu unable to struggle on the spot with cold eyes. It was obvious that he would not spare him the crime of rebellion, but would wait for him to bleed to death.
Suddenly there was a crisp sound of "Dang Cang", the King of Chu's hand was weak, and the sword and halberd fell to the ground. Prince Hongli finally reacted, his handsome face had lost all color, he was shocked, and just about to run towards the King of Chu, but Yan Qisha grabbed his arm in time, "You... can't help him anymore."
That was his low and cold voice, and his icy blue eyes were neither happy nor sad, only helpless, as if he had already guessed the monarch's thoughts and decided to decide the fate of the King of Chu.
Hearing the sound, Crown Prince Hongli's heart sank heavily, and he was so frightened that he couldn't resist. Yuxiu's figure froze in place like chaff, and he screamed in pain, "Father..."
The rest of the words were stuck in his throat, and hot tears gradually flooded his vision.
They say that men don’t shed tears lightly, but they haven’t reached the point of sadness. It’s obvious that Crown Prince Hongli is extremely hurt at this moment!
Yes, who would watch his biological father commit suicide in front of him and remain calm and indifferent? ! Even if he makes the biggest mistake, even if he deserves to die, the family ties that are thicker than water will never be easily cut off.
Looking at their father and son, Brother Shu Wuluan felt an unspeakable sense of desolation in his heart.
Suddenly, a burst of ferocious laughter came, "Haha... Even if I fail, even if I am going to die, I will not let you, a vicious and foolish king, do whatever I want! Haha... I curse you here. Sooner or later, you will betray your relatives and end up depressed and miserable. And die...remember my curse...hahaha..."
The pale and feeble sound of curses floated throughout the hall for a while, while the King of Chu was looking miserable with blood loss, gasping for breath, weakly lying on the ground, Xie Yan's bloodshot eyes stared at the king, and the blood on his neck was It flows slowly and quietly like a stream, which also indicates that life is passing bit by bit until it comes to an end.
At this time, the monarch slowly approached him step by step with a gloomy face. Seeing this, the concubine beside him couldn't help but said in a worried voice: "Your Majesty, you can't..."
Before he finished speaking, he received a stop gesture, and then the monarch said gloomily, "Everyone should retreat three feet from the outside of the palace. No one is allowed to come and disturb you. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished as a crime of disobedience!"
Hearing this, the concubine exclaimed, "Your Majesty..."
But what he got was a cold scolding from the monarch without even looking back, "Get out!"
Such a gloomy and cold tone made Ge Shu Wuluan immediately startled. She had never heard a monarch shouting at his empress like this before, and it was difficult to react until a low female voice came to her ears, "Let's go." Only then did he regain his good mood in a hurry.
When he glanced at her, he saw that the concubine was looking pale and beautiful. She slowly missed her side and walked slowly out of the palace. She was obviously shocked by the monarch's words.
His heart tightened, and he followed without hesitation.
As early as when the monarch spoke, Xia Xuefenglei had already walked out of the hall with Yan Qisha. After that, he hurriedly sent away the guards stationed outside the hall according to the order, while Crown Prince Hongli stood there looking sadly. The King of Chu, who was dying for a moment, finally reluctantly looked away and walked out of the door with difficulty.
After a while, everyone inside and outside the hall had retreated.
With a 'bang', the palace door closed tightly, the sound of footsteps disappeared, and everything in the palace suddenly fell into silence, as quiet as dead water, as dull and depressing.
Jin Rui, who had already stopped in front of King Chu, slowly leaned down, his dark eyes lingering on the vicissitudes of life face with no blood in front of him, and the scarlet wound on his neck. The corner of his mouth moved faintly, and he was about to When he made a sound, he felt a cold light flash before his eyes. He stopped the long sword that was swinging at him with his backhand, threw it to the side of the palace, made a 'ding-rang' sound, and said in a low voice: "You can't kill me." A humble man’s!”
Having been deprived of the only weapon that could vent his hatred, the King of Chu was unwilling to accept it. He was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood. He had to slow down his breathing and glared fiercely at the man in front of him.
The deep resentment pierced Jin Rui's eyes, but he was neither angry nor annoyed, his expression was as calm as water, the corners of his lips curled up, and he spoke slowly, "Actually, I have guessed that Chanzhou and his party were a trap early on."
King Chu was stunned for a moment, wiped the blood from his lips with shaking hands, and asked feebly, "Then you are still taking risks?"
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. This is what the king taught his younger brother himself." Jin Rui said quietly. While speaking, he kept paying close attention to the emotions on King Chu's face until he saw his face change drastically. A faint cold smile appeared.
Hearing this, King Chu almost gritted his teeth and his eyes were red. Suddenly, he laughed hoarsely, "Ha... Okay! I didn't expect that you dared to gamble with your own life! But as cruel as you are, and What can't you do? So, now that you can watch me die with your own eyes, aren't you very proud and relieved?!"
