Chapter 275: The Danger of the Eight Sage Kings
Chapter 275: The Danger of the Eight Wise Kings.
The wind and rain are non-stop.
The small ruined temple was silent, and everyone looked at each other, but they couldn't say a word.
If Fan Zhongyan is a thief and has colluded with the people of Tsing Yi Society, Hua Lang doesn't believe it anyway, but now that the list is here, he can't help but don't believe it.
For this list, many people have been sacrificed, including righteous people and people from the Tsing Yi Society.
Now, they are almost in the capital, and after entering the capital, the Eight Sages King must make a decision whether to hand over this list or not.
Many people on the list are very important, if they are handed over, no matter how merciful the emperor is, I am afraid that he will not be able to tolerate them, and in this way, the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty may be shaken.
But if they don't pay, these people will inevitably do unexpected things, and if they stop it at that time, I'm afraid it's too late.
It could be seen from the expression of the Eight Sages King that he was hesitant and didn't know what to do.
Dusk came, the rain stopped, the wind blew very cool, but the road was muddy.
The rain stopped, and it was time for them to hit the road and rush to the capital.
It's very close to the capital, the people of the Tsing Yi Society or the subordinates of those officials, I'm afraid they will be very nervous and nervous at this time, will they make another move?
They walked for seven or eight days, and there would be an attack in about two days, which was not very big, but it also made them a little tired.
Now that the life and death of these people have come to a critical juncture, how can they let it go so easily?
They wouldn't let it go, because after they took a few steps out of the ruined temple, they immediately discovered the danger.
The front of the ruined temple was full of mud, and at this time there were footprints in the mud, very shallow footprints, like a person walking with wings on his body, so there was not much strength under his feet.
People who can have this kind of light skill are by no means low-handed.
That is to say, while they were staying in the ruined temple, the thieves had already surrounded them, and they were waiting for the right time, waiting for the time when Hua Lang and they slowly approached the trap.
After seeing those footprints, Hua Lang immediately made a gesture, and then everyone retreated to the ruined temple.
The back window of the ruined temple has become a hole, and the wind blows from the window, and when the wind blows in from the doorway, a whirlpool is swirled in the ruined temple, but this whirlpool is too small, and the small one is almost imperceptible.
The Eight Sages King looked at the mud outside the ruined temple with a determined look, and asked in a gloomy voice, "What should we do?" ”
Hua Lang smiled faintly: "Don't worry, there will always be a way to get out." ”
At this time, the Eight Sages King seemed to have thought of something, so he hurriedly asked: "Little Xuanzi, this king asked you to send a letter to the capital, can you send it?" ”
Xiao Xuanzi nodded again and again: "Back to the prince's words, it has been sent." ”
The Eight Sages King nodded slightly and said, "That's good, as long as you hold on to the reinforcements, there will be no trouble." ”
But as soon as he finished saying this, the people outside had already rushed in, as if they had heard the words of the Eight Sages, so they did not give the Eight Sages King time to wait.
The battle began in an instant, and a steady stream of people rushed in from the outside, falling, blood spraying everywhere in the ruined temple, turning what was supposed to be a place of retreat into a killing place.
It's just that these people don't care about it completely, some of them just want to live, and some of them just kill people.
Although the martial arts of the Eight Sages King are poor, he also killed a few people, in the process of this killing, Hua Lang has been observing, he is a scholar, he can't be like Yin Wuxian and Wen Meng, they fight everywhere, so he can only observe, observe the enemy, and also observe his own people.
There are many enemies, and their kung fu is not bad, but when they meet the Eight Sage Kings, they seem too vulnerable, I don't know if it is because the Eight Sages King's martial arts are too high, or because the Eight Sages King's momentum overwhelms them.
One by one, they died at the feet of the Eight Sages, and they came as if they had been killed by the Eight Sages.
In addition to these people, the rest of the people are different, they kill with fire, kill unscrupulously, and kill with hatred that can't bite each other's faces.
Darts, hidden weapons, swords contend, bloody sky.
When the sun set, the ruined temple also returned to silence, of course, not because there was no one here, but because everyone didn't know what to say.
The thieves have been beaten away, this is probably their last attack, this time, the other party has died a lot, and Hualang has also killed a lot of people on their side.
Whoever has ever wanted to kill must accept being killed at any time.
There was a rainbow in the sunset, and the colorful smoke seemed so beautiful at this time, and the beauty made people want to step into the clouds, to take a walk on the clouds like a bridge, and perhaps, under that bridge, there would be streams, and there would be people who were peaceful and did not like vendettas.
The Eight Sages looked at the fading rainbow and sighed, "Let's go!" ”
It was time for them to leave, but before leaving, Hua Lang suddenly looked at the Eight Sages King and asked, "Have you figured out what to do with that list?" ”
The Eight Sages King was silent for a long time, and said, "For the sake of my Zhao family, I'm afraid I can only sacrifice these people." ”
Hearing this, everyone's hearts sank, so they turned their eyes to Hua Lang, Hua Lang did not have any change, as if he had expected that the Eight Sages King would do this, and the people of the emperor's family had always climbed up by stepping on corpses, and this was the case when they fought the world, and the same was true when they guarded the country.
Therefore, more often than not, what the royal family wants is to sacrifice batch after batch of people in order to stabilize their own country.
Although Hua Lang did not change anything, he arched his hand and said, "Please also ask the Eight Sages King to think twice, because I think this is a trap." ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but the Eight Sages King was puzzled, since he was in Yangzhou, he had heard of Hua Lang's ability, and through these few days of getting along, he felt that Hua Lang was definitely not a thing in the pool, and now Hua Lang said this, he must have his own opinion, but this is such a clear thing, how can it be a trap, who would be stupid enough to die so many people to complete this trap?
However, at this time, the Eight Sages King wanted to hear Hanalang's explanation, because in his heart, he hoped that this was a trap, so that he would no longer have to worry about how to deal with this list.
"Actually, it's very simple, from Yangzhou to the capital, we have walked such a long way, if the Tsing Yi Society and these officials are really worried that the prince will hand over the list to the emperor, they are afraid that they will definitely send large-scale people to encircle and suppress us, but along the way, have we encountered a large-scale siege? Moreover, from the battle just now, I found that these people did not mean to kill the prince, they were only feints against the prince, and they were fighting against us, why did they do this? ”
The Eight Sages King looked at Hua Lang for a long time before he spoke: "They originally wanted this king to hand over this list to the emperor so that these people could be eliminated?" ”
