Chapter 605: Not only do I control the Demon Sect, but I also make money in the world
Chu Pingsheng shouted at Fei Xunnu, and the eunuch stepped forward, picked up the envelope and presented it to Xiao Mian. Although he lowered his head, he used the corners of his eyes to Glancing up from the corner of my eye, it seemed threatening.
Even a eunuch dared to threaten him.
Xiao Mian was itching with hatred, but he didn't dare to get angry. He pretended to take the envelope, took out the letter paper inside and glanced up and down, then suddenly slapped the table: "How unreasonable, what bastard? How dare you imitate it?" My handwriting forged the letter to frame the case!"
"Oh?" Chu Pingsheng said, "So, someone deliberately framed King Xiao?"
"Of course." Xiao Mian took a sip of wine and said angrily: "Seeing that my aunt is strong, the thief wants to sow discord, sit back and watch our aunt and nephew kill each other, and then reap the benefits. Huh, what a shameless villain."
Chu Pingsheng said: "Since he is familiar with King Xiao's handwriting and tone, could he be a close minister around him?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiu, Chen Wu, Lei Youshi and others looked slightly pale. Change.
Just when Xiao Mian was about to speak, Chu Pingsheng suddenly stood up, and with a move of his hand, he summoned a purple sword from nowhere and pointed at Zhang Xiu who was sitting opposite him: "Tell me, did you frame King Xiao?" ?”
“No, it’s not me...ah...”
Before Zhang Xiu could finish his words, he was stabbed through the heart by Chu Pingsheng with a sword, and he fell on the table with his eyes wide open and refused to close his eyes.
“Still want to deny it? Looking for death!”
He raised his sword and went to his neighbor Chen Wu: “Are you his accomplice?”
Chen Wu was busy Waving his hands, he looked pleading.
Unexpectedly, Chu Pingsheng stabbed him with another sword.
The ministers of Emperor Liang who had not sent an envoy to the Sui army at the beginning and persuaded Xiao Mian to rob the Sui army's baggage also screamed and fell to the ground on their backs. The blood soon stained their brocade clothes red.
“Chai Shao!”
Xiao Mian slapped the table and stood up.
Chu Pingsheng turned around suddenly, with murderous intent in his eyes: "So, the letter was written by King Xiao?"
"How could this... be me..."
"Since it was not my fault, why are you so excited?" Xiao Meiniang waved her hand at him: "Sit down."
The flesh on Xiao Mian's face shook a few times and he slowly sat down.
Chu Pingsheng looked at Zhu Zhong, who had a scary scar on his right eye. This guy, who had always been outspoken, became clever before he died.
“You bastard, you are making excuses!”
With one hand, he overturned the entire food table in front of him.
Chu Pingsheng swung his sword down, and the Baling Gang expert drew a line of blood from his forehead to his heart. His eyes rolled up, and he lay on his back after three breaths.
Lei Youshi, who was behind him and was cunning, ran away. Chu Pingsheng tilted his sword, and a thin beam of sword energy came out. The former was shocked and fell to the ground, crushing Cen Wenwen. Bowls and chopsticks in front of you.
The garlic-nosed Su Chuo was desperate and struck violently. His fingers turned black and gave off a foul odor. It looked like he was practicing poisonous martial arts.
Chu Pingsheng chuckled. He didn’t use the sword, so he made Jiuyin’s white bone claws hard and strong. Su Chuo’s poisonous palm was locked and stirred, and there was a creak. In the sound of bone cracking, Su Chuo’s right hand was crippled, Jiuyin The white bone claw swung lightly, as fast as lightning, and penetrated straight into the hard skull.
The whites of Su Chuo's eyes rolled up, looking at the five sharp fingers, his hands slowly dropped, he breathed out his last breath of life, and died.
Chu Pingsheng pushed the body aside and shook off the blood on his hands.
It was only then that the nearest maid, who was responsible for pouring wine and tea, let out a shrill scream and looked at him like a devil.
The commotion in the main hall finally woke up the patrolling guards. Brother Xie Feng, a scholar in plain clothes, rushed into the venue with more than thirty guards in red clothes holding swords. He only shouted "Your Majesty" and returned Before he could use his thirty-eight moves of the Moon-covering Sword Technique, his head was cut off by a sword energy.
90% of the guards who came to rescue were also killed by this attack. The remaining people fell to the ground, throwing their swords aside. They looked at Chu Pingsheng with a horrified look on their faces, and kept retreating, trying to stay away from the supporting hall. The dragon-carved stone pillar - that sword energy not only killed the people who came to rescue him, but also broke the pillar in two with one sword strike. The powder fell rustlingly, and the sword marks stretched across the front and back.
“Go, call more people to come over and kill me.” Chu Pingsheng smiled at the survivors and said.
The three people looked at each other, got up and ran out.
Go and call someone?
He has killed the masters of the Baling Gang such as Brother Xie Feng, the commander of the Imperial Army, and the outlaws Su Chuo and Zhu Zhong, the Cowherd. Who else in the palace is his opponent? Who else dares to come to the rescue?
Cen Wenwen watched the blood spurting from brother Xie Feng's headless body dye the ground three feet in front of the case red. He crawled over to pick up the sword on the ground and put it on his shoulder.
At this point, how could he not understand Chai Shao's plan.
Last year when the Sui army went south, they thought that after Song Que defeated it, he would kidnap Xiao Meiniang to Jiangling and collect the Sui soldiers who fled north. Now Chai Shao and Xiao Meiniang have the same idea. Didn't Xiao Mian keep saying they are a family? ? Then give the territory he has conquered to his elders.
As for these capable ministers and generals who assisted Xiao Xian in establishing the Liang Kingdom, they are more reassuring dead than alive.
Poof.
Cen Wenwen turned hard and the sword edge cut through the main artery. He fell forward and died in front of Xiao Xian.
The banquet held to welcome the Empress Dowager and wash away the dust became a grand event for Liang Guo’s humerus to die.
Chu Pingsheng stepped over the pool of blood and corpses and walked up to Emperor Liang who suppressed his hatred and anger: "Don't worry, Prince Xiao. From now on, these close ministers will never have the chance to harm you."
There is no chance to harm him. , and there is no chance to protect him.
But what happens now? His martial arts skills are at best comparable to those of Yu Wenhuaji, Li Mi, Du Fuwei and others. Facing a master of Chai Shao's level, resistance will only lead to death. Chu Pingsheng clasped his fingers, and the wine bottle placed on his dining table fell into his palm. He grabbed another cup, poured wine into it, and handed it to Xiao Mian.
“Please.”
"I'll do it myself." Xiao Mian hurriedly went to get the wine pot to pour himself wine. As the emperor of Liang Kingdom, his attitude could be said to be very low-key.
“Eh.”
Chu Pingsheng held down the jug and insisted that he drink the wine he worshiped.
"King Xiao doesn't know, right? People who have practiced the Heavenly Demon Technique and the Secret of Immortality will not be able to deal with any of the strangest poisons in the world."
Xiao Mian felt a rumble in his head, like thunder.
The murderous look in Chu Pingsheng's eyes became stronger and stronger. The wine glass in his hand almost hit Xiao Mian's face and he said the word "please" again.
The nephew glanced at his aunt, and only a cold face responded to him.
He knew he had completely lost.
He took the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. When he was done, he sat back down and waited for the poison to take effect and drain all his strength.
Seeing Xiao Meiniang bringing Chai Shao and Fei Xun to the banquet, Cen Wenwen and Zhang Xiu suggested adding Hua Gong Powder to the drinking water they drank. As long as the two strongest men of the Sui army were eliminated, the rest Dugufeng, Ding Jiuzhong and others are not a concern.
Xiao Mian knew that their proposal was too risky, but when things got to this point, he had no choice but to put his money where his mouth was.
The result? The result still doesn’t work.
Chu Pingsheng looked at him quietly: "Cen Wenwen, Zhang Xiu and others learned that King Xiao was going to dedicate the land of Jingchu to the Empress Dowager. They felt unhappy, so they bribed the eunuchs in the palace, and before the king The wine with the Queen Mother was poisoned. Fortunately, Chai came here from Pegasus Ranch and brought two detoxification pills refined by his father-in-law, which detoxified the poison in the body and helped King Xiao destroy these thieves and ministers who had caused rebellion. , to preserve a historical story about the deep love between an aunt and a nephew, this script... I wonder if King Xiao is satisfied?"
Xiao Mian's face turned pale, his lips trembled slightly, and he said in a voice that was almost stuck in his throat: " Thank you... Mr. Chai for your help."
"You don't have to talk to two families, so you don't have to be polite, Mr. Xiao."
Chu Pingsheng turned to look at his superior: "Master Fei, something has happened here. The Empress Dowager is also tired. It's time to return to the camp to rest."
"Then Mr. Chai..."
"I We'll feel like old friends as soon as we meet, so get close to each other."
As he said this, he pressed a black energy into Xiao Mian's body.
Fei Xun didn't know what it was, but Xiao Meiniang knew it. She shook her head and sighed, saying that she had done something wrong. With Fei Xun's service, she got up and walked out of the hall.
...
The Sui army stayed in Jiangling and refused to leave. Xiao Meiniang even occupied the magpie's nest and occupied Xiao Xian's palace as a palace to command the northern front operations.
This is normal, but not normal either.
The normal thing is because Xiao Mian, as a nephew, moves closer to Xiao Meiniang. From the perspective of kinship, it is normal. The abnormal thing is that the former Baling Gang's master and military leader died completely, and Xiao Mian no longer has an arm to use. .
Half a month later, Jiangling court meeting.
Xiao Meiniang wore a phoenix crown on her head and Zhai clothes, her slender fingers were flat on her knees, and she looked at the officials quietly.
Since arriving in Jiangling, more and more Sui Dynasty officials have fled here from the north and south of the Yangtze River. After a series of changes such as the Jiangdu Incident, Wang Shichong's rebellion, and the Jiangbei Allied Forces' attack on Luoyang, those who have been screened out are basically Xiao Meiniang's diehard loyalists. .
"Xiao Mian, do you have anything else to say?"
Xiao Mian, who gave up the title of emperor and was regarded as King Jing, stood among the officials, silent and silent.
“Anlong, the great tycoon in the Bashu region, united with the leaders of various tribes to send a surrender, hoping to accept it...but...”
"But what? Don't be hesitant."
Xiao Mian bent down a little more: "According to what An Long said, it was my aunt they surrendered, not the Yang family court."
>This sentence immediately caused a stir among the people below.
“What does Anlong mean?”
“Literally, it means that we surrendered because of the Empress Dowager’s face.”
"The Empress Dowager went to Lingnan, defeated the Song clan, pacified Baiyue, and accomplished something that even Emperor Wen had never done. Xie Hui and Jie Sheng of Duzunbao are dead, and the Bashu region surrendered in fear of his name. How normal is that? "
"I mean, it's very inappropriate for them to not respect the Yang family but the Empress Dowager. Doesn't the Empress Dowager represent the Sui Dynasty?"
" What did Xiao Xian call the Empress Dowager just now? Is this at a court meeting? Why..."
"..."
The expressions of the old officials of the Sui Dynasty changed, and Jiangnan Wang Lin Shihong The generals who had achieved meritorious service in the Lingnan battle all looked indifferent.
Xiao Mian continued: "To be honest with my aunt, my nephew is also unhappy. My nephew was originally the Emperor of Liang. He felt the kindness of his aunt and Chai Shilang and was willing to join him. However, as a descendant of the Yang family, Yang You has already abdicated the throne to Li Yuan demoted himself to the throne, and Yang Tong stayed in Luoyang, but he believed in the treacherous words and had no confidence in his aunt, so he surrendered without a fight. The reputation of the Yang family in the Sui Dynasty was as broken as the situation in the world, and there was no prestige at all. ”
