Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Chapter 255: Assassinate the emperor

Views:

When Fang Shuoyang went to the palace, Shi Qingzhou was not idle in the mansion.

Although he didn't think King Zhou would question Fang Shuoyang, just in case, he still had to prepare for the future.

If King Zhou takes the opportunity to play, then some preparatory work must be done.

Therefore, Shi Qingzhou did not sit idle at home.

However, Shi Qingzhou's preparations did not come in handy after all. Because Fang Shuoyang is back.

When the other party came back, even Shi Qingzhou was relieved.

The two entered the secret room. "The king of Zhou didn't make things difficult for you?"

"No." Fang Shuoyang also said with a sigh of relief. "I'm ready to be embarrassed, but King Zhou should be more angry with Tian Xiangzi. In addition, I think he will focus on the investigation of the palace."

Shi Qingzhou nodded. "That's good."

"But we set a trap for Tian Xiangzi. If she hadn't been killed by King Zhou, then we would be in big trouble."

Fang Shuo raised his voice.

Shi Qingzhou thought about it and said. "Then help the King of Zhou to kill him."

Fang Shuoyang took a deep breath. "What you are saying is that even if Tian Xiangzi cannot be killed on the spot, at least she must be guaranteed not to fall into the hands of King Zhou."

Shi Qingzhou nodded. "Wait and see."

Fang Shuoyang thought for a while, and said: "Perhaps... I can suggest to King Zhou... just follow the plan."

Shi Qingzhou paused slightly upon hearing this. After a moment he nodded. "This is also a way."

"That's right, now Tian Xiangzi must not know that I have betrayed, so the method of using tricks will definitely succeed, but it needs the consent of the King of Zhou."

"Well, but you don't want to go today. Tomorrow, you will go to King Zhou in a bright and fair manner, borrow business, and then mention this. Just mention it. It's up to him to decide." Shi Qingzhou said rationally.

"Okay, I understand." Fang Shuoyang nodded immediately.

The next day, after Fang Shuoyang finished his court, he used business as an excuse to find King Zhou.

He also mentioned the matter of using the tricks, King Zhou was silent for a while, and then agreed, and also discussed with Fang Shuoyang how to use the tricks.

When Fang Shuoyang left, King Zhou let out a long breath.

These four sons, from their return to the present, have been doing very well, but it's a pity...

King Zhou stopped thinking about it and continued to deal with the business at hand.

Finally, on this day, King Zhou's birthday arrived.

In the morning of this day, Fang Shuoyang and Shi Qingzhou left Fuchu and went to the palace very early.

On this morning, a man came to Zhou Suye's house.

Zhou Suye met the other party.

After exchanging pleasantries, "Brother Qin must have something to do here today, right?"

"Yes." Qin Xiong looked around, showing some hesitation.

Zhou Suye immediately asked everyone around him to retreat.

"Brother Qin has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

Qin Xiong nodded. "So, I'll just say it."

Qin Xiong finished speaking, thought for a while, seemed to be thinking about how to say it, and after a while, he said: "Brother Suye, you are now the fifth prince, and your status is not ordinary, but you are still my brother, so, there is one thing, I Gotta tell you."

"Brother Qin." Zhou Suye said sternly, "You are my brother, my good friend, even if I now have an extra layer of status as a prince, it will definitely not affect our friendship, will it?"

"Haha, what you said is that I was thinking too much." Qin Xiong took a deep breath. Then he lowered his voice and said, "So, I'll just say it straight, brother Suye, do you know Tianxiangzi?"

"Tianxiangzi?" Zhou Suye was slightly taken aback. "I've never heard of it, what's the matter?"

Qin Xiong said softly: "This Tianxiangzi is the apprentice of Qinghuo Tianzun."

"What? Qinghuo Tianzun?" Zhou Suye was startled. Naturally, he knew about Qinghuo Tianzun, "How about Tianxiangzi...how?"

"Tian Xiangzi... may assassinate the Holy Master today." Qin Xiong said in a deep voice.

"What?" Zhou Suye was shocked when he heard this. "How could this be? Brother Qin, is what you said true?"

Qin Xiong said softly: "Actually, I'm not sure, but Tian Xiangzi's recent whereabouts and...some people she contacted are very likely! I can't say I'm 100% sure about this news. But... I personally think it is very possible.

That's why, brother Suye, I took the risk to come here to remind you. "

"Brother Qin is so righteous, I am very grateful!" Zhou Suye said seriously. "But this matter is very important, Brother Qin, I want to know the details."

"Okay, that's what it should be." Qin Xiong nodded. "It's like this, a few days ago..."

Qin Xiong told a little bit of what he knew.

It was already half an hour later when he left.

At this moment, Zhou Suye needed to rush to the palace immediately, otherwise, it would be too late.

Zhou Suye looked at his palm with a secretive expression, and then let out a long breath.

On this day, although Zhou Suye arrived early and late, but, he said, he overslept.

Zhou Wang only reminded the other party to pay attention next time.

Today is King Zhou's birthday, and he is still in a good mood.

Especially when he was waiting for the assassin to come.

As for why Zhou Suye concealed the news that there might be an assassin today? Then only God knows.

While the Dongye Kingdom was preparing for King Zhou's birthday, on the other side, Long Xiaoyuan was hurrying, even though he hadn't reached the border yet.

But in the case of traveling day and night, it is not far away.

This day may be the reason for the continuous rush these days, so Long Xiaoyuan felt a little dizzy and sad when he woke up in the morning.

Frowning, Long Xiaoyuan continued on his way.

However, at noon, he felt more and more uncomfortable, and touched his forehead, well, it was too hot.

He is also sure, he has a fever, this is it!

It's really sad, doesn't it mean that with the Golden King Gu, the physical fitness is extraordinarily good

"Master." The shadow guard noticed that something was wrong with Long Xiaoyuan, he quickly supported him when he was about to fall, and took him off the horse.

Wang Shu was taken aback. "Brother Lin? What's wrong with you?"

Long Xiaoyuan smiled wryly. "It's a crime, it's a headache."

Wang Shu hurriedly said: "What's the matter? Is it the wind and cold?"

Long Xiaoyuan nodded with a wry smile. "Well, maybe, I have a terrible headache."

Wang Shu's heart skipped a beat. "There is no shop in front of the village or in the back. Should we hurry or go back?"

"Definitely can't go back." Long Xiaoyuan said immediately. "It's not too far from the border. Let's continue on our way. When we get to the small town, the shadow guard will stay. I will rest there for two days. You will take my letter to the army of Yuelong Dynasty." .”

"Okay." Wang Shu immediately agreed.

After a long time, Long Xiaoyuan and the others finally arrived at a small town.

The shadow guard took Long Xiaoyuan to see the doctor, while Wang Shu set off by himself.

Finding an inn, drinking the medicine, Long Xiaoyuan fell asleep in a daze.

And on this night, the imperial palace of Dongye Kingdom started to celebrate the emperor's birthday.

All the ministers were there saying blessings, and the dancers were performing, and everyone was watching intently.

At this moment, an accident happened!

Among the dancers, one jumped into the air, as if it was needed for the dance, but this woman sprinkled a large amount of medicinal powder in midair!

When the powder was sprinkled, everyone was shocked at first, and then, suddenly, some people screamed.

It turned out that the powder that was sprinkled was highly poisonous.

And when the dancer floated into the air, she directly blew the medicine powder here with her internal force, that's why so many ministers screamed in pain.

As part of the ministers screamed, the guards here have already reacted.

In fact, it should be said that the reaction of these guards was very fast.

They all stopped in front of King Zhou and formed a circle. Moreover, the sharp blade in his hand was pulled out, and at this moment, a scent was emitted in the air.

If you smell it carefully, you will find that the fragrance is actually emitted from the guard's knife.

As the fragrance spread out, the situation of some ministers who screamed before seemed to be much better.

"Father! Are you alright?" Zhou Suye was already sitting not far from King Zhou, but at this moment he rushed towards him.

Fang Shuoyang didn't come here, but he looked over here with concern.

Zhou Wang received Fang Shuoyang's concerned gaze, and he nodded slightly.

Today's assassination, if there is no reminder from Fang Shuoyang, then the consequences may be unimaginable.

The dancer girl had already jumped towards this side at this time, and following her figure came, another handful of medicinal powder was spilled.

At this time, the guards quickly formed an formation, and then everyone jumped up. The huge oilcloth wrapped all the medicinal powder, and the medicinal powder that fell from the sky was blocked by the guards, even if they were not completely wrapped. , but did not cause much damage!

This dancer is Tian Xiangzi.

Seeing that the medicine powder didn't work, Tian Xiangzi knew that something might have changed in today's action plan.

At this time, a few people among the guards not far away suddenly turned back and killed the people around them.

The number of these guards is not many, but there are six of them.

The six people attacked together, and immediately, the guards around them were seriously injured.

However, Tian Xiangzi was not happy because she realized a problem.

She seems to have... been tricked!

Logically speaking, King Zhou should have drunk the poisoned wine by now.

The poisonous wine was fed by Fang Shuoyang himself!

She also watched.

However, King Zhou obviously has no signs of poisoning now!

Tian Xiangzi looked at Fang Shuoyang coldly, and Fang Shuoyang jumped up at this time.

"Come on! Take down the assassin!"

Originally, the assassins here were all on the move, but after the sound fell, everyone started to act even more...
