Chapter 316 Killing in the Street
A guard was extremely alert. As soon as he started laughing, he had already taken a step forward and stopped in front of Li Tai. He held the horizontal knife tightly in both hands and stared at the approaching opponent.
A black and yellow robe, her hair was tied up in a bun with a black cloth tie, with a wooden hairpin stuck on top. There was a striking mole on the left side of her face with three black hairs growing on it.
Hit the sword down hard.
With this sword, the guard really used his greatest strength. He was only at the seventh level of Xuanyuan, but the sword he slashed with was at least as powerful as the eighth level.
Human potential can always be stimulated at the most dangerous times.
But this is still far from enough for the attackers.
With just a flick of his finger, the steel knife silently shattered into countless fragments. With another wave of his hand, the countless fragments were embedded in his body.
With a look of disbelief in his eyes, the guard looked at the old man who fell in front of him and fell to the ground with a thud.
He used up his last strength, spread out his hands, and hugged the visitor's legs.
"Prince, run!"
Li Tai turned around and rushed towards the city gate at high speed. He himself had the eighth-grade Xuanyuan cultivation level, but he just struck when he saw someone coming. After knocking down his own bodyguard, the courage he had to fight for his life immediately disappeared without a trace.
This is not an enemy he can deal with.
"I am Li Tai, the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty!" As he swept forward, he shouted with all his strength: "The one who saves me is the one who will save me!"
This is a thoroughfare, and there is a lot of traffic here. Pedestrians were constantly passing by, but at this moment, they were all staring at this scene in stunned silence.
Wanhuhou is indeed tempting, but you must have your life to enjoy it.
Seeing that the murderer just killed a tall and strong man with a knife like a chicken, everyone yelled and fled in all directions after a moment of silence.
The other guard did not escape.
Instead, he rushed to the murderer and without any hesitation, he drew his sword and killed him.
He has a similar cultivation level to that of the deceased. He knows that taking this step will lead to death or life, but due to his responsibility, he can only die bravely, just to win a little bit of escape for Li Tai. time.
The murderer didn't stop at all. He passed by him and pulled his head away. Then, the brave guard's head turned 180 degrees on his neck and looked at him with wide eyes. This assassin in black and yellow clothes was like a wisp of smoke rushing toward the fleeing Crown Prince.
Just looking at the speed comparison between the two, the guard's final consciousness was not only despair, but also despair.
At the cost of their lives, they could not stop the perpetrator for even a minute.
Li Tai's eyes dazzled and he suddenly stopped. The old man in black and yellow clothes had already stood in front of him, walking towards him with his hands behind his back and a smile.
"I've seen you, I've seen you!" Looking at this face, a familiar face suddenly appeared in Li Tai's mind.
The old man nodded: "I have indeed seen it. Today I came to see the prince off. The prince and his majesty went on the road one after another. He was not lonely!"
"Why? Why did Wei Zhengdao want to kill me?" Li Tai lost his composure. Dei yelled crazily. After recognizing the person, he no longer had the slightest desire to resist. "It's impossible for him to kill me."
Faced with an innate master, an eighth-level Xuanyuan master, all he could do was die.
The old man smiled, but did not answer Li Tai's question. He stretched out his sleeves and placed a palm on Li Tai's chest.
Unlike the previous two guards who died tragically, Li Tai didn't look any different after this slap, but his eyes lost all color, and then he slowly sat down. After a moment , blood slowly oozed out from the seven orifices.
Three people were killed in a row on the thoroughfare. The old man looked around. Although he still looked smiling, he didn't look like a devil from hell to the people around him. He shouted and ran further.
The old man laughed loudly, jumped up, and walked towards Chang'an City.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but finally a troop of soldiers and horses came over quickly from the direction of Chang’an City. Seeing Prince Li Tai and the two guards lying on the ground, the leading officer’s face turned pale.
In the Wei Mansion, Wei Zhengdao was immersed in reviewing piles of official documents.
Since the emperor was besieged and killed in the imperial city, he never went to the palace to work in the imperial city, but discussed matters directly at home.
Even though many people talked about it, he didn't bother to explain.
The current imperial city is just a Shura field. Thinking of the hundreds of soldiers who died there that day, and the emperor who died in such a tragic manner in the end, Wei Zhengdao never wants to set foot in that place again. .
Until his death, Li Anmin never left a complete corpse.
The last thing that fell into the coffin was a big lump of meat sauce that Yi Ming took a shovel to shovel out.
Li Anmin's death that day was not the end. The soldiers who were so red-eyed finally exploded. If Wei Yi had not made arrangements, he had deployed enough men on the outside and used bows and crossbows to suppress the position. , everyone in the Imperial City would be killed by those crazy soldiers.
"Dad!" Wei Yi carried his helmet and rushed into the study like a gust of wind. This reckless move made Wei Zhengdao a little dissatisfied.
"Whenever big things happen, you have to stay calm. Why panic?" Wei Zhengdao scolded. Wei Yi took a deep breath, tried to calm down, looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Dad, Prince Li Tai is back."
"He came back really quickly, Wu De's men run pretty fast!" Wei Zhengdao said with a smile.
"But Li Tai was killed just outside the east gate!" Wei Yi tried to keep his voice calm and not to tremble.
With a crash, Wei Zhengdao stood up and turned over the chair behind him.
"What did you say? What did you say?" Wei Zhengdao yelled with his hands on the case.
Why should I remain calm when encountering big events?
If it were an earth-shaking event, I would still be devastated.
"Father doesn't know?" Wei Yi swallowed.
"What do I know? Why should I know?" After asking this question, Wei Zhengdao suddenly realized something: "What do you mean?"
Wei Yidao: "Father, I cross-examined the scene According to their descriptions, the perpetrator of the murder on the street should be Mr. Hong Zhanhong!"
"Fart!" Wei Zhengdao reached out and overturned everything on the table." Mr. Hong has never stepped out of the house, how could he kill Li Tai! "There must be someone pretending to be Mr. Hong." Wei Yidao said: "Dad, maybe a person's appearance can be changed by the skill of disguise." Changing into Mr. Hong's appearance, after all, Mr. Hong's appearance is very distinctive, and the horrified witnesses will not pay attention to other details, but martial arts skills cannot be faked. "
said. Here, Wei Yi's voice finally had a vibrato: "My masters inspected the cause of death of His Royal Highness and the two guards. The perpetrators were innate masters."
Appearance can be disguised, but martial arts cultivation cannot be faked.
But Wei Zhengdao knew for sure that Hong Zhan had never left the house at all, let alone committed crimes outside Dongcheng.
That can only explain one problem. There was an innate master who pretended to be Hong Zhan and killed Li Tai in public. The purpose was of course very obvious, which was to frame the blame on Wei family.
The father and son looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
This time, I'm afraid they can't tell clearly even if their whole body is covered with mouths.
The emperor died and was surrounded and killed in the palace. It was indeed them who gave the order. Now the emperor's body is gone.
The emperor’s death can be concealed for a while, but how can it be concealed for the rest of his life?
Originally, if Prince Li Tai came back and successfully ascended the throne, he would be responsible for everything, and the emperor's death could be ignored.
But now even Li Tai is dead.
And it seems that he died at the hands of Hong Zhan.
Wei's rebellious intentions are clearly revealed.
Even Wei Zhengdao himself thinks this is the fact.
"The only thing that can be done now is to choose one of the emperor's other sons to inherit the throne!" Wei Yidao.
“This is the effect that the murderer wants to achieve!” Wei Zhengdao sat down slumped: “Framing us to kill the emperor, kill the prince, and then set up a puppet that is easy to hijack. The people of the world have formed a negative impression on our Wei family. After such an image, the day when our Wei family will be destroyed is not far away, and the next step is to attack in groups!"
"It's just a fight!" Wei Yi revealed! A fierce look.
"How capable is the Wei family that can withstand the whole world's attack?" Wei Zhengdao shook his head.
“You can’t sit still and wait for death!”
Wei Zhengdao leaned his head on the back of the chair and looked at the beams. After a long while, he said: “This situation was probably set up by Ling Huye. ! It’s really awesome. I gave up in this game.”
“Dad, what should I do next?”
After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Wei Zhengdao asked: “ It has been more than a month since Zhang Songlin entered Shu. How is the progress? ”
"What else can I do? I've been teased by Prince Ji's Mansion and the Tang family all day long!" Wei Yi said dissatisfied.
"Next, Mr. Wei tried his best to help Zhang Songlin, and at the same time told him to speed up, otherwise we will be finished, and he will have to finish with us! At the worst, we must capture the Jiange Road first. That's it. Jiange said, if something goes wrong, we can retreat to Shuzhong," Wei Zhengdao said sternly.
“I understand!” Wei Yi nodded. "It's just Dad, if we destroy it too quickly, it will appear that we need a retreat more urgently now, and Zhang Songlin will raise the price on the spot."
"We must first ensure that we still have the qualifications to negotiate conditions!" Wei Zheng said coldly. Leng Di said: "Just watch, as soon as the news spreads, all armies led by Ling Huye will gather in Chang'an. Even the Pengcheng Kou clan will seize this opportunity to fight back and join the opposition. If you go to our camp, everyone will push you."
"Will Heibingtai also rebel?" Wei Yi asked.
"It's possible for He Bing, but not for Wu De!" Wei Zhengdao thought for a moment and said, "Wu De will get more benefits by joining forces with us. People like Ling Huye will never give him what we can give him." .”
