MTL - Empress True Colors-Chapter 107v4 will-o'-the-wisp

King Ping didn't finish spitting up the blood, and had to continue to vomit.

What happened in the palace cannot be concealed from anyone, because early the next morning, the mission of the Kingdom of Ji went to the palace and submitted a protest on behalf of their princess, revealing what happened last night, saying that His Highness Prince Ping A little quarrel, in order to vent her anger on her cousin, she invited the daughter of King Ji into the palace under the pretext of apologizing. Secretly set up organs in the water pavilion, destroy the water pavilion, seriously injure the princess, and cause the princess to lose her appearance. These actions are despicable and shameless. Ji Guo will issue a solemn statement for this, demanding that Meng Guo and King Ping must make an account of this, otherwise Ji Guo will be the whole country Up and down, it will be regarded as a great shame and shame, the army of millions of llamas will not hesitate to go south!

As soon as the protest came out, there was an uproar in the court. Although most of the court supported King Ping, it was because of his virtuous corporal and excellent reputation. There are still some truly loyal and honest people. Such actions of King Ping have a bad impact on the diplomatic relations between the two countries. It is really hard to explain. , Immediately there was a round of verbal criticism in the court.

It was not over yet, and then Meng Guogong, who had not been in court for a long time, suddenly went to the palace, tearfully begging His Majesty to avenge his grandson Menghu. He testified that in order to seize power, King Ping designed to frame and put Meng Hu under house arrest, so as to force the Meng family to support him in a secret uprising to seize the throne.

This complaint was even more shocking than the protest of King Ji's daughter just now. There was an uproar in the court, and Prince Ping, who was standing in the row, was ashen-faced. Old Duke Meng tremblingly showed the persuasion letter secretly handed to him by Prince Ping's Mansion. He also said that Prince Ping's Mansion was in chaos last night, and the entire Baoxi Courtyard was burned down. That Baoxi Courtyard was where his grandson Menghu was imprisoned. Send someone to check, and you will know that someone is daring, and you will know that Meng's family is like a sea of ​​grievances. After all, he kowtowed again and again.

Everyone looked at the old prince who hadn't been in court for a long time with tears on his face and trembling white hair, and they couldn't help feeling compassionate, and these people who had been in officialdom knew very well that such a big matter could never be fabricated unilaterally. It was impossible to fabricate it, Qi Qi looked at King Ping with a strange look.

The King of Mongolia had deep eyes, and hid his secret compliments to Her Majesty in his heart—awesome, amazing, worthy of being the terminator of the royal family, and it took only one night to punish this slick and slick son who could not be grasped in the past It became like this, I don't know how it was done, if you don't shoot, it's a terrible crime, and it seems that even people have been beaten, look at the slap marks that haven't disappeared, and that limp calf.

The King of Mongolia immediately asked Habayashi Wei to go to check Prince Ping's mansion. This is a fairly loyal team that he can use around him. Of course, King Ping refused, and found many reasons, but the bad thing today is that his loyal ally, his His uncle, General Ji Da, who controlled the vast majority of the troops and the right to speak in Mengcheng, did not stand up to speak for him today, but remained silent.

General Ji stood in the middle of the class, with his head slightly lowered, refusing to accept King Ping's turn for help, with a slightly wry smile on his face.

He couldn't answer.

Because auspicious children are in the hands of others.

Received a letter this morning. There is nothing in the letter, just a finger, the ring on the finger is auspicious, and the blood on the finger has been frozen.

Looking at the blood, he knew that the finger belonged to his daughter. In the Ji family, she had abnormal blood, or she was very talented. She was once favored by an expert who passed through Mongolia, saying that she was a natural ice species, and she was the most suitable for the inheritance of this sect. , taught her some martial arts and practice methods, and said that he would come to teach her again in the future.

For Ji Xianger, a daughter of the right age, the Ji family had reached a marriage agreement with King Heping long ago, and there was no room for loss. What's more, General Ji had vaguely guessed the identity of the master who taught his daughter the art, which made him feel even hotter. He wanted to get in touch with that otherworldly world, how could he let his daughter have an accident?

Of course, he didn't know about the internal changes in Tianmen, the incomparably noble master is not as good as before, but this does not hinder his admiration for Tianmen martial arts. As a general who needs to fight in the battlefield, the temptation of high-end force and powerful martial arts is very good. big.

Although there was nothing in the letter, as soon as he went to court today, he knew what was threatening him.

If you don't shut up, you will kill.

Meng Hu brought Miss Ji back to the Meng family, and the Meng family held an emergency meeting. The Meng family is also a military family, and naturally they will not be kind to women when dealing with things. A warning with one finger is considered to have left room.

King Ping's complexion changed drastically, and his heart was in a state of confusion. He has a way to deal with the attack of the court and the protest of Ji Guo. After all, he has already mastered most of the discourse power in Mengcheng, but this discourse power is also based on military power. If General Ji's attitude suddenly changes at this moment, This is the biggest blow to him.

It's a pity that he was facing upwards, winking so that his eyes almost cramped, and General Ji insisted on staring at the ground, as if a flower had suddenly grown there.

The accusation against King Ping was too vicious, and others were reasonable enough, which made the people of King Ping's faction caught off guard for a while. Wait for His Highness to speak. He just stared at General Ji and his spirit, which made everyone's counterattack weaken involuntarily. When King Ping finally came to his senses, gathered his mind and prepared to fight back, the matter in the court had been settled, and the Habayashi army went to the palace to check it was a foregone conclusion. Ask him to personally plead guilty to Princess Ji.

King Ping didn't care about taking back the military power of the Gaoshan Army. The whole army has long been completely controlled by his cronies. It's not as simple as removing one of them and he can completely return to the court. What he cares about is General Ji. He needs General Ji's army. At critical times, the inside should cooperate with the outside.

However, today was a loss.

After the court meeting, King Ping felt the feeling of being neglected for the first time. In the past, the ministers who flocked to the court and could not be driven away, today they left early or stayed behind like avoiding tigers and wolves. Chaohou would walk arm in arm with himself, and often the two of them would ride in the same car. Today, my uncle walked so fast that I didn't even hear him yelling behind me.

Looking at the empty square in front of him, and his lonely long shadow stretched across the square, His Royal Highness Ping Wang, who has always been proud of the spring breeze, tasted for the first time the feeling of "the crown is full of capital, and the man is alone and haggard".

Some people get discouraged when they encounter setbacks, and some people are just the opposite.

At this moment, his desire to seize power suddenly swelled to its peak.

As long as he ascended the throne, as long as he became the king, such neglect and repetition today will never happen again!

A figure walked slowly behind him, the figure was slightly bent, as if a little stooped.

King Ping didn't look back, squinting at the rising sun, his eyes were as sharp as needles in the golden light like needles.

The war has begun, and soft-heartedness is a meaningless emotion. Either you die, or I live.

After a long time, he said softly: "Then let's start."

…

In the dark autumn night, the majestic shadows of palaces and palaces are as thick and light as ink in the blue sky, and a thin and curved moon falls between the few remaining stars in the western sky.

The stars are flickering and flickering, ups and downs.

Supervisor Kou of the Millennium Hall, the King's bedroom, came out of the hall, turned around and carefully closed the door, not daring to make a sound.

The lights in the dormitory are very dark. The king has been sleeping poorly recently. On the one hand, his body and on the other hand, his spirit. Years of accumulation of toxins have made him look old, but this is not over yet, he has been blinded by the power desire Conscientious people are still spreading rumors, evading the royal power, and spreading rumors with certainty. The poison of reality and the blade of words work together, delaying a person's endurance and vitality.

Tonight, because a "big king took forbidden medicine in order to live a long life, but he suffered backlash. In order to save his health, he did not hesitate to sacrifice to the wizard, and personally killed his son in order to prolong his life, so all the princes will not die well." The new rumor made the king depressed for a long time, and finally fell asleep.

Kou Dajian walked slowly, thinking that fortunately the king did not know the second half of the rumor, which was not like a rumor but a vicious curse—the king’s perverted actions would harm the peace of heaven, and the heavens warned him that there must be retribution in this world.

How chilling it is to say retribution in this world to a king.

Kou Dajian shook his head, thinking that the theory of gods and ghosts is really the most unsubstantiated thing, what kind of retribution in this world? The son wanted to usurp Lao Tzu's position, and he did not hesitate to poison and slander him. This is already the retribution of the world!

Before he finished thinking here, he suddenly felt a chill all over, and at the same time he heard a scream of "Ah!"

It is strictly forbidden to make noise around the king's bedroom, who broke the rules! Kou Dajian raised his head angrily, and was about to drive that ignorant **** out of the Millennium Hall, but when he raised his head, he froze immediately.

Ahead, among the shadows of the palace, countless pale lights suddenly floated over. At first glance, I thought it was a palace lantern held in someone's hand, but when I looked again, was there anyone behind the light? And the color of that light is also extremely eerie, pale white and green, a huge mass, swaying in mid-air, floating erratically, from a distance, it looks like a ghost floating.

There was silence in front of the hall, and everyone stood still, staring straight at the cold fires that suddenly appeared, their faces paler and greener than the fires.

Kou Dajian felt that his heart was going to shrink into a ball, and his whole body was so stiff that he couldn't move. He felt extreme fear at this moment, but he vaguely remembered that this scene could not be seen by the king in the palace. No sound was allowed, and a scream was heard, "Ghost!"

Under the courtyard wall in front, a little **** crawled out. He probably went to take a urinate before, but was suddenly hit by this thing. He didn't even fasten his pants. ah!"

Behind him, a huge group of bluish-white will-o'-the-wisps was following leisurely. Wherever he ran, the will-o'-the-wisps would follow. The yard was full of white fires, and when everyone looked up with pale faces, they saw the entire palace, a big group The big group of cold lights floated up and down, full of will-o'-the-wisps!

The palace has fallen into the nether world!

"Ah!" The screams from all the people were earth-shattering, and the whole palace seemed to be awakened.

Amidst the shouts, the eunuchs dispersed with a bang, screaming, running wildly, stretching out their hands, and running towards the depths of the darkness, while the will-o'-the-wisps that had been floating without owners seemed to have found their target and followed closely Behind these people, it seems that countless ghosts are chasing people, infinitely weird...

Kou Dajian stood straight at the bottom of the steps, his hands trembling like an epileptic seizure, he opened his mouth, wanting to shout, scold, stop, wanting not to be seen by the king, but his throat was so hoarse due to tension and fear that he could not make a sound, and then he heard Behind him was the sound of the palace door being opened.

He turned his head stiffly, and saw the great king whose face was even paler under the pale cold light.

Not human.

Kou Dajian's heart was beating like a drum, and he rushed back to help him.

The old king had already raised his finger, pointing tremblingly at the will-o'-the-wisps that filled the entire palace, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, and fell straight down with a bang.
