Evil Lord held his left hand behind his back and brushed his clothes with his right hand: Of course, otherwise, where would the old ghost find the relics of the Holy Lord
He said slowly: In the past, when the Holy Lord became a monk, he was served by a young novice monk. After he condensed the strange crystal and passed away, the young novice accidentally made a friend from the grassland and regarded this as an anecdote. informed the other party.
No wonder the young master of the Jiang clan knew about the whereabouts of the Demon Lord. Meng Qi was suddenly stunned and looked at the Evil Lord without saying a word.
The evil king still spoke in a slow and leisurely manner, not like he was in a palace in a dragon's den, but in a comfortable home: the old ghost's coma was just because he couldn't bear the huge amount of essence entering his body for a while, and he woke up not long after, but However, he felt that being in a coma was better than being awake. On the one hand, he could take a look at the performance of his four sons, see their true colors clearly, and use the struggle for the throne to attract several great masters to the capital. On the other hand, he could spread the news about the relics of the Holy Lord and let everyone know about them. Grandmasters automatically enter the game.
Therefore, the fact that Batu was hunted down that night was actually revealed by the young master of the Jiang tribe himself. Meng Qi asked thoughtfully when Xingzang heard that he had lured the Grand Master into the situation.
If there is anything else in this world that can make several grand masters fight for life and death, the demon king's relics are obviously the first to bear the brunt. Compared with it, the throne is not important in the hearts of the grand masters. After all, they have been stuck in the current realm for a long time. There is only one layer of window paper between us and a breakthrough, but we can't break through it. We are in urgent need of external reference and help.
The evil king looked at Meng Qi with a half-smile: Yes, if you hadn't disrupted the situation, repelled the fierce sword, scared away Ruyi Monk and the Ghost King, and taken away Batu and Changsun Jing, I'm afraid Wang De would have let all the big people besides Bamul go. The masters have already gathered in Yuanjue Temple to compete for the relics of the Holy Lord.
According to some investigation, an unknown number of kilograms of gunpowder were buried in Yuanjue Temple. As soon as the great masters entered, a dead man would immediately light the fuse and explode with a bang, all of which would be blown to pieces.
Meng Qi didn't panic and nodded: No wonder it happened to be shortly before the right minister arrived. The young master of the Jiang tribe left the hiding place on his own.
Phew, the sound of the wind blowing through the branches becomes very clear, and people can intuitively feel the power, fierceness and fierceness of the wind.
Wang Derang did not expect that Batu would be kidnapped by you, nor did he expect that Lu Guan would choose to be a lonely minister and bring Batu to him. Instead of taking refuge with a certain prince, I deliberately delayed it for a while. He sent someone to notify the young master of the Jiang clan. Otherwise, with his great master's strength, why didn't he rush over and go to the door to uniform for such an important matter? Instead, he took Lu Guan Batu and slowly wandered to the evil king's tunnel with a slight sneer.
Yes, if the right minister finds the young master of the Jiang clan by himself, he will be in trouble if he does not go to Yuanjue Temple. How experienced are the other great masters? They can tell there is a ghost as soon as they smell it. They must send their men to investigate. If he goes to Yuanjue Temple by himself, will the dead soldiers outside light the fuse or light the fuse
Meng Qi did not relax his guard on the sword and said with emotion: I never expected that the emperor would be so afraid of the great masters. I wish I could kill him quickly.
As the lord of the world, who would want to have a great master who is almost as powerful as a god or demon outside? If they fight for their lives, they are likely to kill the emperor who is under heavy protection.
Evil Lord still has his left hand behind his back and his right hand across his chest, so once he finds an opportunity, the old ghost will not let it go. Even if he hasn't finished absorbing the holy relics, he will use them as bait. Anyway, his body is already aging. Even if his strength increases, the amount of essence he can absorb is limited. Hey, if Wang Derang doesn't suppress this matter. There was likely to be trouble, and the old ghost wished he could hide it from him and let him go to Yuanjue Temple to die.
He is a qualified emperor. Meng Qi sighed.
Yes, ruthless, hard-hearted, loving the throne and the power in his hands more than his concubines, and more than his children. Evil Lord showed a rare expression of approval.
The wind became louder and louder, and the air became very humid and quite depressing.
Meng Qi deliberately asked: Even though he was in a coma, he had the right prime minister Wen, General Zhengxi in military affairs, and the general manager of the internal affairs, and he still had strong control over the court and the palace. How could he suddenly kill him and send General Zhengxi privately? When he contacted Lu Huasheng, he was determined to negotiate peace.
If you want to pretend to be unconscious, the chief internal officer cannot hide it. After all, the emperor is not a god, he still has to eat, drink, and defecate, so he must have confidants to take care of him.
If the price does not exceed the bottom line, the old ghost will definitely be willing to negotiate for peace. After killing the great master and getting rid of his restless son, he will reorganize his troops and reinstall the northwest. If the negotiations cannot be reached, he will also recruit Lu Guan to Beijing as a backup. It can stabilize the hearts of the soldiers and horses in the northwest. The evil king talked eloquently, as if he could read the old emperor's thoughts as he read his own palm prints.
Meng Qi nodded slightly. If the old emperor did not die, he would have to find a way to sabotage the peace talks in order to complete his main task. The old emperor had the young master of the Jiang tribe in his hands. Knowing the inside story of the Xilu, he would definitely have many ways to make the Xilu fake peace talks. Turn into real peace talks.
The Evil Lord chuckled lightly: He thought he had everything under control, but he misjudged people's hearts. As an emperor, most people thought he was in a coma, which was equivalent to death, so he was really dead.
If you want to pretend to be comatose, there will always be various signs exposed, such as the amount of food, such as the state of excretion. The eunuchs and guards thought that the emperor had suffered a stroke and was in a coma. The new emperor was about to ascend the throne. Naturally, they were eager to surrender, to show their loyalty, and to pass on all the news. It was given to the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince, so that they could judge that the old ghost was pretending to be dead and making plans.
If the emperor's sudden coma had not given the third and fourth princes hope, normally the new emperor in other people's minds would be one of the prince and the seventh prince.
No wonder when I went to visit the prince, he stayed behind closed doors and kept strictly to his duties. Meng Qi suddenly said, and then frowned, but since the seventh prince also knows, why do you want to see me and talk about fighting for the throne and being unable to retreat
The evil king was taller in stature, with an elegant and evil temperament. He stood there with an indescribable sense of ease: at that time, the old ghost was already dead.
Therefore, the Seventh Prince was acting unscrupulously, and the Crown Prince, out of ignorance, thanked the guests behind closed doors. Meng Qi felt that it was wrong, and that was not the case.
Evil Lord smiled: The prince was pretending that he didn't know that the old ghost was dead, and the seventh prince was pretending that he didn't know that the old ghost was in a coma.
They are all acting people. Meng Qi slandered, and suddenly understood the meaning of the evil king's words: The one who killed the emperor was the prince.
It can be regarded as his order. Hey, only a few people knew about this matter. Even Wang Derang felt that the old ghost was too greedy and died suddenly due to absorbing too much essence. Therefore, he kept his mourning secret and helped the prince win over General Zhengxi. Winning over other people's time allows him to be fully prepared. If he didn't do it, it would be fine. Once he did it, it would be like thunder, leaving the other three princes unable to resist, lest the capital be turbulent and the world turbulent. Evil Lord said it was as if he had experienced it himself.
Meng Qi had no doubt about this. The right prime minister, Wang Derang, was a great scholar of the time, and there was also Chen Peihe, a soldier from the Western Han Dynasty. I definitely hope that the transition to the throne will be smooth and not turbulent, under normal circumstances. The great scholar’s choice of orthodoxy requires no explanation, but the prince has been suppressed for a long time, and his civil and military officials are unable to suppress the other princes. As for the grand master, the fourth prince has a sword king, and the third prince has a demon queen, so they are not far behind. .
If the crown prince's succession is announced rashly, the other princes are likely to be dissatisfied and start a rebellion. It caused division, caused turmoil in the capital and the world, and gave Xilu an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Therefore, the right minister suppressed the news of the old emperor's death and kept the funeral secret. He only informed the prince and asked him to prepare to win over neutral forces. Use the power of thunder to subdue the other three princes and quickly resolve the battle for the throne.
He asked who killed Emperor Meng Qi and asked the question again.
The weather outside seemed to be getting more and more depressing, and the sound of fighting in Qinzheng Hall was mixed with the strong wind.
The evil king said leisurely and contentedly: "Lü Ling, Prime Minister of the Left."
The traitorous prime minister was the one who made Lu Guan be demoted for many years.
As the head of the political hall and one of the de facto prime ministers, he has the right to stay overnight and to visit old ghosts. Evil Lord said as if he was hiding nothing. Lu Ling was good at reading people's thoughts and won the trust of the old ghost. As Lu Guan came to Beijing, he was keenly aware that he might have fallen out of favor.
When the prince secretly told him that the old ghost was in a fake coma, he confirmed this guess. As a confidant, even this kind of thing was kept hidden. There is no other explanation except that the old ghost wants to treat him as an abandoned son. Hey, if the peace talks succeed and the country is humiliated by ceding territory, the prince and he will be the scapegoats. If the peace talks fail and Lu Guan becomes the general, someone will have to come to explain the previous situation in the northwest. Corruption, taking responsibility for Lu Guan's demotion, obviously cannot be the fault of the wise and powerful emperor, but can only be the result of a traitor who deceived the emperor.
The evil king had a fair face and must have been a handsome man when he was young. He had a pearl of wisdom and said: After understanding this, Lu Ling quickly fell in love with the prince. However, he had been the prime minister for many years and was in and out of the country. He had to win over some ministers and guards. These eunuchs and guards thought that the new emperor was about to succeed to the throne, so they naturally surrendered to him without reservation, helping him spy on the affairs of Ziji Pavilion and help him pay attention to the intelligence of the Imperial City Division.
After they figured out that the old emperor was just faking a coma, they were unable to get off. They could only follow Lu Ling all the way to the dark side. After Lu Ling combined various clues to determine the old emperor's condition, he found a pill that accelerated the absorption of true energy. It is harmless to the body and has no toxicity, so the eunuch added it to the old ghost's meal. As a result, the old ghost absorbed the essence too quickly and died suddenly.
Meng Qi asked thoughtfully: Why did you experience such confidential matters personally
Because Lu Ling told a certain person that he also helped a certain person sneak in here. The evil prince smiled and sighed. If there were no external enemies, the prince would kill him and silence him in the future. Even if he spread the word, Wang Derang would think that he was at the end of his rope and bite him randomly. There should be no other princes at that time, and Wang Derang would not believe the prince. letter. Therefore, Lu Ling informed a certain person about the matter and found a way to protect himself.
Meng Qi said regretfully: What’s the use of telling you
At this moment, the seventh prince should have left the capital and headed to the southeast, mobilizing the power accumulated in the court and army over the years to tear apart the soil and attack the rebellion. The evil king seemed to be talking about something of little importance.
Meng Qi immediately understood the true meaning of the seventh prince's words. In the capital, with the right prime minister turning against the prince, he had no chance. His hope for survival lies outside the capital: It turns out that the person behind the seventh prince is you. .
Evil Lord smiled and nodded: "It's me, and I didn't tell him that the prince instigated Lu Ling to kill the old ghost. I just asked him to find an excuse to rebel."
You want the world to be in chaos. Meng Qi suddenly grasped the evil king's true thoughts.
The Evil Lord said arrogantly: If the foundation is unstable due to conspiracy, the Holy Sect will always be suppressed by Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. Only by revolting and sweeping the world can the Holy Sect become orthodox. Someone has prepared a fire in the southeast for the seventh prince. use.
Meng Qi didn't know why he thought of this sentence, but the evil king really had a lot of pride in his heart.
He sighed: But all the creatures in the world were in trouble because of this.
Death is well deserved, death has a lingering fragrance. Evil Lord said ruthlessly.
He suddenly smiled: Do you know why someone talks so much and tells you so many things
Without waiting for Meng Qi to answer, he took out his left hand from behind his back, holding a dark yellow crystal. There seemed to be something gelatinous and invisible inside, but only half of it was left.
He chuckled and his expression turned cold again:
Because someone wants to delay time.
He put away the spar, and his momentum increased steadily, and he actually felt a bit like a demon queen.
Although it has not been completely absorbed, it is enough to kill you.
boom
Lightning flashed outside and thunder sounded.
Although he didn’t know why he was able to get the Demon Lord’s relics, nor why he was so anxious to absorb the essence, Meng Qi was not panicked at all: Do you know why I listened to your nonsense for so long
Without waiting for Evil Lord to answer, Meng Qi smiled so much that he showed two rows of white teeth:
Because I also want to delay. If you like this work, you are welcome to support it, it is my biggest motivation.
