When Jinghu Guards shuttled through the city to distribute flyers, the guards standing at the top of the wall could see it clearly. Immediately "risking", he opened a gap in the palace gate, and went out to pick up a flyer and return it to Zhou Meng, the inner palace.
Zhou Meng looked at the news of the wedding of "King of the Xiyue" and "Goddess" above, he couldn't help clenching his fists tightly, and slammed it on the wooden table beside him, shaking the tea bowl on it.
"What a fart! This king is here, the wedding is all messed up, where is the king of the evening moon coming out!"
The maids and guards on the side lowered their heads in unison.
Zhou Meng has never been so embarrassed as he is today. Since he was born, he has been the king of Xiyue, a god revered by the people. His existence is the greatest fortune of Xiyue and the master that everyone of Xiyue respects.
He can do whatever he wants, and even a beautiful woman like Pang girl promises to be his princess. The women in his harem, his children, and his ministers all respected him as a god.
But such an unshakable position was completely shaken in front of a group of outsiders today. He was rushed into the palace in embarrassment, closing the palace gate and daring not to open it. He was also shot in a bun on the top of his head with an arrow by the reckless man, and now the hair on the top of his head is much less. Although he could hide the "bald" part when combing his hair, he always felt that the maids and his concubines and concubines were laughing at him. Not to mention the ministers who were there at the time, they saw with their own eyes that he was pinned to the wall with an arrow!
Zhou Meng's self-esteem has been trampled like never before, and the only thing he wants to do now is revenge! He is going to catch a reckless man who stole the goddess, and the nails will be whipped fiercely on Xingtai! Cut out his flesh one by one.
"It's presumptuous, presumptuous!" Zhou Meng smashed and shredded the flyer in his hand, and threw it on the ground and stomped several times.
"The general is coming to the palace! This king wants to see what kind of trouble those foreigners can make! The food is distributed to the people? This king didn't say anything, who would dare to touch this king's food!"
The maids were almost petrified by Zhou Meng's appearance, and hurriedly retreated after listening to the order.
Zhou Meng called the general to enter the palace, and asked about the situation of the Minuo Department. He was relieved when he learned that they were still stationed in the same place and did not make any expansion.
"Tomorrow, we will mobilize all our troops and horses in one place, and teach them a lesson to this king! The most important thing is the food and grass, we must not let them use the food and grass in a hurry, and give them all the food and grass. Bring the king back!"
The general handed over his orders, "Yes, don't worry, the prince!"
Zhou Meng waved his hand and sent the general away.
The sky was getting dark, and Zhou Meng didn't call any concubines, and he didn't dare to call the guards around him to leave half a step. He arranged more than 100 guards to tightly surround his bedroom. Only then did he dare to be bold. of falling asleep.
The guards are also very conscientious, a small team of ten people, interspersed with non-stop patrols outside the palace.
There was no abnormality in the first half of the night. However, no one dared to relax.
No one noticed that at this time, a shadowy figure flashed into the hall like a ghost, and after a while, he got stuck in the blind spot when the guards were patrolling the intersection, and left the palace unrestrainedly and silently.
The next day was over, and the maids felt that the situation was not right before they saw the prince get up, and they called several times from outside the bed tent, but they didn't get a response.
As soon as he opened the tent, he saw that the prince was lying on the bed with his hands folded on his stomach, but his face was pale and blue, his pure color was pale and bloodless, and he didn't even respond to any calls.
The maid boldly touched Zhou Meng's arm lightly.
"The king, the king, you..."
Start cold!
"what-"
Exclamations resounded through the sky.
The guards were startled and rushed in in a panic. As soon as they checked the prince lying on the bed, they were already stunned.
"Hurry up and call the imperial doctor! Please come to the princess! Hurry up!"
Not long after, the eldest princess, the second princess, and the third princess rushed over in a hurry. The three of them gathered around the bed and saw that Zhou Meng was really out of breath, and couldn't help crying!
The eldest princess hurriedly ordered: "Tell the ministers to come into the palace and check the situation! And you, check carefully, how did the king of the county die!"
The two imperial physicians trembled and leaned forward to check carefully. They didn't find any wounds, and they were not poisoned!
"Here, there is no wound or poisoning on the prince's body, nor is he suffocated by someone covering his mouth and nose, just, that is, natural, natural death, just like falling asleep and suddenly dying..." The imperial physician 's voice trembled.
The eldest princess kicked her angrily: "Nonsense! The county king is young and strong, how could he die in sleep? It must be that your medical skills are not good enough to detect it!"
The general and several ministers were amazed by the results of the imperial physician's examination, and they rushed forward to check.
As the imperial doctor checked, there was no wound, neither poisoning nor suffocation.
"This, it's really strange for the prince to return to the sky. Could it be that he was summoned by the gods..."
The third princess suddenly screamed and shouted: "It must be the demon girl surnamed Pang! It must be her! She is not a goddess, but a demon! She killed the king! She must have killed the king!"
The screams of the three princesses made people's eardrums itchy.
Several courtiers could not help but sunk their faces and said, "Don't talk nonsense, the third princess! The goddess came to Xiyue with a large amount of food and seeds, exactly as described in the holy book, but it was suddenly cut off at the stage of marriage. There is no fulfillment, I believe that you are a fake third princess, but I do not believe that the goddess is not a goddess, and I believe that all the people of Xiyue will not believe it!"
"Exactly! If it wasn't for the goddess, how could it have crossed such a large desert and brought food to our land of Xiyue!"
The courtiers, your words are my words, and your expressions are very serious.
The second princess frowned for a moment, and said, "This princess also thinks that this matter has nothing to do with the goddess. It's just that the death of the prince is really strange. It seems that it just happened naturally. If you think about it, it should be called by the gods, right?"
The eldest princess turned her head and pointed at the second and third princesses, scolding, "It must be the two of you who murdered the county king!"
The king of the county is dead, to choose an heir, it must be her son! These two bitches must die!
The heart of the First Princess is well known to anyone with discernment.
When it comes to the change of power, she doesn't care whether the dead person is her pillow, but what she thinks is to quickly grasp the power.
The three princesses were completely stunned by the accusations of the eldest princess. They were stunned at first, then rushed up crying, grabbing the eldest princess' clothes and scolding: "You slandered me! You are the murderer who killed the king of the county. You are!"
The two women were twisted into a twist and scuffled on the ground.
So noisy and absurd, the provoked ministers frowned and shook their heads.
The second princess is the most stable one, she frowned and said, "Don't separate the eldest princess and the third princess!"
The maids did not dare to touch the master at first, but now they dared to do so after being instructed to do so, so they hurried up and pulled the two away.
The second princess didn't care what the faces of the two women looked like, and immediately said: "Now is not the time to fight for this, what matters now is the situation. I heard that more than 50 people from the goddess' clansmen have come outside, and they are all Wearing black clothes, they are tall and mighty, brave and good at fighting, and they are all like heavenly soldiers. Are they currently stationed in the camp where the goddess tribe is located?"
When the ministers saw this, they nodded one after another. Under the chaos of the eldest princess and the third princess, the calmness of the second princess could not help but shine.
Then a courtier replied: "What the princess said is that more than fifty guards of the goddess did come to Xiyue. Yesterday at noon, those guards in black robbed the goddess. One of the guards almost shot the county. The king was killed. The county king's hair was cut off a lot."
The second princess was terrified when she heard it, and hurriedly asked: "What do you think these people came from? Are they really the servants of the goddess? What are they going to do when they come to Xiyue? Has the county king ordered anyone to inquire?"
The eldest princess and the third princess have never thought about this, and they are a little stunned when they hear it.
The ministers admired the second princess even more in their hearts, and hurriedly replied: "Returning to the princess, those people are really the servants of the goddess, and they may not come to Xiyue to be our enemy, because yesterday the county king sent troops to surround the goddess when he strongly married the goddess. When we arrived at the camp of the Goddess tribe, the guards of the Goddess clashed with our troops, but the other party clearly had more force than our troops, but they did not kill a single person."
The second princess was surprised, "They didn't kill anyone?"
"Yes. Not only did they not kill our soldiers, nor did they go to the homes of the people to loot, they just stayed in the camp peacefully. But they came out once and distributed some leaflets."
"Flyer?"
"Yes."
The courtier took out a flyer from his sleeve and presented it to the second princess with both hands.
The second princess took a look and frowned.
"Today at noon, the King of Xiyue is going to marry the goddess and distribute seeds to the people of Xiyue?"
Everyone invariably looked at the corpse that had been frozen on the bed.
Everyone is dead, how to hold a wedding
"The other party doesn't kill people, but they also give seeds to our people. Obviously they have no hostility to us. But what about the wedding they said?"
The second princess pondered for a moment, and said: "I think since the other party is not hostile, we better not move troops and horses rashly, I am worried that if I provoke the wrath of the gods, they will burn the seeds and not give us the seeds. The people of the moon?"
"What the princess said is." The courtiers all agreed, and felt that the second princess was more calm and reliable than the prince.
The eldest princess and the third princess rushed to read the flyer at this time, and became even more confused for a while.
The second princess said worriedly: "Let's get our troops and horses ready to fight first, but don't take the initiative to attack, we will wait and watch in the palace. As for the funeral ceremony of the county king, I don't do it, I'll leave it to the eldest princess and his wife. The three princesses will deal with it."
