Chapter 739 Victory and defeat are impermanent
Zhao Wang Peng Zu was almost mad. If it weren't for so many henchmen and warriors swearing to tell the situation at that time, he would never have believed that just half an hour ago, someone would have come out of the ground and rescued Yuan Zhao, who he had worked so hard to trap.
The reason why King Zhao stayed in the front hall for so long was that on the one hand, he was waiting to send all the guests away, and on the other hand, he was waiting for the news that King Wuqiu Shou had gone to ask the emperor. After all, Yuan Zhao is not comparable to ordinary people, and if he kills him rashly before he understands the clear meaning of His Majesty the Emperor, then in case of other circumstances, he doesn't want to carry this black pot for the emperor alone.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty likes to use his courtiers as scapegoats and backstabbers! This point, Zhao Wang Pengzu, who has lived longer than anyone else, can also see it more clearly than anyone else. This time, he took the initiative to deal with Yuan Zhao, wanting to make great contributions while ensuring the interests of the royal family, so as to make this earth-heavy wealth last longer in his hands. But it's definitely not trying to get into trouble for no reason.
The emperor's palace in Handan City is not far from King Zhao's mansion, and King Wuqiu Shou comes and goes to ask for his life, even if it is slow, one hour is enough. Therefore, King Zhao, who had been busy for most of the night, made a good tea, sat in front of the palace and watched the rain splashing the world, thinking that the universe was under control.
However, King Zhao, who is very thirsty, may not be destined to drink this tea. No one can guess the will of God. Success or failure, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace, is often just the time of this tea.
The panicked general ran over to him and told him about the mutation that had just happened. There was a thunderclap, and the rain was heavy again. King Zhao kicked away the few cases in front of him, and couldn't care about anything else, while rushing away, he shouted loudly and ordered all the people in the mansion to chase after him immediately, and if he couldn't find it in King Zhao's mansion, he turned Handan City over! To live to see people, to die to see corpses. No matter what the price is, you must also find Yuan Zhao's whereabouts.
I can't complain that King Zhao is so out of shape, and the possible consequences after Yuan Zhao gets out are too serious. Let's not talk about how powerful this person is in the legend, what I am most afraid of is that the emperor's attitude will change because of this...... If the big black cauldron that wants to kill the important ministers of the court and plot against him is really buckled on his head, it will be unlucky!
Fortunately, there is still some time, and it may be redeemed. Thinking that Master Mo Fengzi had mentioned that the Ecstasy Powder that Yuan Zhao drank had the medicinal effect of about two to three hours, and if he was recaptured within this time period, everything would still be in time.
It's just that when King Zhao led a large number of dead soldiers to the inner hall and wanted to discuss countermeasures with Mo Fengzi in detail, he sadly found that the eldest disciple of the Venerable of the East China Sea had died. And it was so dead that not a word was left.
At the same time, his beloved Ji Mo Yao'er also died. This woman who likes to dress up and is extremely enchanting once made the re-erected King Zhao enjoy an incomparable crazy taste in the bed. But she was very unlucky, she did not see the tragic end of the enemy, but her own end was very miserable. When she fell, her head happened to hit the blue bricks of the upturned floor, red, yellow, blue, green and white, and ten thousand peach blossoms bloomed ......!
Man was rescued from the ground? It's incredible, but the facts are there. Where the middle of the huge iron cage collapsed, there was a large newly dug hole, but I don't know where it came from. After a samurai volunteered to climb in to investigate, he came out and reported to King Zhao in shock, saying that he had entered along this passage that could only accommodate one person, and had found several identical tunnels, leading in all directions like rat holes...... At this moment, not only King Zhao, but everyone was surprised.
Since I can't find a clue, I can't help it. Zhao Wang Pengzu gave an order and mobilized people to dig along the direction of the passage, and it didn't take too long for the news collected to make him dumbfounded.
Obviously, the person who digs such a long tunnel is definitely not a day's work, it seems that he has been planning for a long time, and he wants to be unfavorable to Zhao Wangfu!
Zhao Wang Pengzu lived for such an age, and finally understood what words a person can use to describe a person who is extremely angry, that is, angry and angry!
These accounts should be counted on Yuan Zhao's head! Peng Zu, the king of Zhao, drew the sword of the ancestral king and roared at the sky.
"Yuan Zhao! The Lone King is inseparable from you...... All out! Find them all for me, rummaging through Handan City tonight, and find out these people for me, I will definitely kill ......! ”
No one dared to remain calm under the force of this anger. The secret forces raised by the Zhao Wangfu broke through the rain curtain like a black tide, and frantically launched a search in all directions with the palace as the center. The bloody storm is about to sweep the whole city.
In such a thunderous situation, in fact, the person they were looking for had not left the Zhao Palace. Crossing the heavy buildings and palaces, behind the statue of the family temple at the back, Qiu Wu, the dog butcher who fled all the way here, finally put down the person on his back, and then sat next to him gasping for breath. Although he was scarred and exhausted, his face was full of joy.
Li Ling, who was closely behind, finally glanced at the boundless night, and found no trace of tracking, so he hurriedly dodged in and quietly covered the temple door. When he turned around, by the faint light, he met Yuan Zhao's gentle gaze.
"Master...... You okay? That damn old puppet...... Sooner or later, I'm going to kill him with my own hands! ”
This was the first time Li Ling saw Yuan Zhao in distress. Thinking of King Zhao's despicable methods, anger rose in his heart again. saw that Yuan Zhao shook his head slightly, and finally spoke.
"This kind of thing is originally the cruelty of your life and death, and there is nothing to hate. I just didn't think of Your Majesty...... Hehe! This time, thanks to you, came to the rescue. This chivalrous warrior, but I don't know what to call it, Yuan Zhao is here to thank you! ”
Yuan Zhao's hands and feet were still inflexible, so he had to look at him and smile and nod his head.
Qiu Wu, who was still breathless, had already turned over again, facing the world-famous young man in front of him, and there was blood surging in his chest. He never imagined that he would have the opportunity to share his hardships with him today, and receive his personal thanks, such a glory, even if he died immediately, there would be no regrets!
"Yuanhou! My name is Qiu Wu, and I have just met these young righteous people. If I can not die tonight, I only hope that Yuanhou can avenge the blood and revenge of me and the families of those many victims...... ”
Qiu Wubai fell to the ground, already in tears. Yuan Zhao looked at Li Ling with some confusion in his eyes, but he had never known the hidden truth behind this. Li Ling stretched out his hand to help Qiu Wu up, calmed the anger in his chest, and began to tell the man he regarded as a mountain everything they knew and heard about ...... Horseshoe Mountain.
The sound of rain beats on the cornices, and brass bells ring. The light of the lanterns between the towers near and far is faintly visible, but it makes the night even longer and farther. Yuan Zhao's face had never been so solemn, and his fingers on the bronze statue were gradually tightening, there was such evil behavior in this world...... Heaven is clear, if this evil is not eliminated, how can the world be right!
"Master! We traced all the way to Nanshan, and we had already found their secret base in the mountains, but who would have thought ...... Xiao Jun and Ji Jia were finally discovered by them! Fortunately, Qiu Wu is familiar with the terrain, so we rushed out to report to you. But I don't know if the two of them still have their lives ...... after so long. ”
Speaking of this, Li Ling couldn't help but cry again, the young man was sad and miserable, and he really didn't know what to do.
"King Zhao...... Be punished! It is difficult to maintain justice in the world if the world does not know its evil. Li Ling, if you can still hold on to the injuries on your body, immediately go to find the general Wei Qing and ask him to immediately mobilize the Yulin army to surround the Zhao Wangfu. At the same time, the local garrison stationed in the camp outside Handan City was mobilized to capture the minions of King Zhao in the whole city, and no one escaped...... You told him that this was an order from the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, not out of a private request! ”
There was a soft "click", and Yuan Zhao stood up, his gaze extremely firm. Between the right fingers, a bronze statue of the god was broken off in anger.
The eyes of the two people around him widened in shock. Li Ling suddenly realized something, and he shouted in surprise.
"Master! You......?! ”
Yuan Zhao shook his wrist slightly, and finally regained his usual calmness. Although the numbness has not completely disappeared, it has recovered so quickly that even he himself is a little surprised.
"Go ahead! Do as I say. ”
"Master, don't worry! I must pass this word on to General Wei to ......! ”
Li Ling opened the temple door in high spirits, raised his sword and came out, and a few ups and downs disappeared in the darkness. The wind and rain between heaven and earth were blowing in his face, but he no longer felt fear. As long as you feel the support of this powerful force behind you, there is nothing worth retreating from in this world.
"Yuanhou ...... What about us? ”
The two short knives of the dog butcher had already been abandoned while digging the tunnel, and at this moment, he looked at the equally defenseless Yuan Zhao with his bare hands, and his eyes were full of desire for revenge. Yuan Zhao patted him on the shoulder, not letting him down.
"Let's go! I'll take you there...... Avenge! ”
A quarter of an hour later, all the people who followed their prince who stayed in the palace and waited for news suddenly found that Peng Zu, the king of Zhao, did not know when, quietly disappeared under heavy protection...... Zhao Wangfu began to fall into chaos.
And on a street not far from the palace, a carriage turned out. Although it was raining, the man driving the carriage walked in the rain with bare arms and covered with vertical and horizontal scars, looking very heroic. After all, he couldn't help himself, and he glanced back at the captive huddled in the carriage again.
"Yuanhou! Qiu Wu never thought that King Zhao also had today! Looking at his appearance now, he bears some resemblance to the dead dogs before I was slaughtered under the knife...... Ha ha! ”
"Oh, that's a fitting analogy. Did you slaughter dogs for a living? ”
"yes...... Autumn five this cheap servant, let Yuanhou laugh! ”
"Every time you slaughter more dogs, there are real heroes buried in the market! This has been the case since ancient times. It's just that slaughtering dogs is a trail after all, and it will be unfair to follow me to slaughter the world in the future...... How is it? ”
"Autumn Five...... May it be the force of death! ”
At the end of the long street, the Palace of the Son of Heaven is in sight.
