Chapter 626: The Hunt Begins
Ever since Tang Fengyue learned that he was going to assassinate Cang Zhantian, he was immersed in cultivation and rehearsed and calculated various possible situations in his mind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Later, when he heard the news of the Mingyue and the Heavenly Axe Gate, his killing intent was even stronger, and he was more calm and attentive.
On the fifth day, the hunting ceremony of the Blue Moon Country began.
"Brother Tang, this time I wronged you and pretended to be a guard of my true appearance. β
Xiang Yingqi found someone to call Tang Fengyue.
At this time, Tang Fengyue had already changed into a middle-aged man with an ordinary face. His name is Qi Tai, and he is the guard that Xiang Yingqi must bring when he goes out, and many people outside know him.
Of course, the real Qi Tai has been killed by Xiang Yingqi. Because Qi Tai is a person who fights the sky.
Tang Fengyue followed behind Xiang Yingqi, and the two of them rode in the same carriage and rushed to the palace inside.
The palace has already gathered hundreds of civil and military officials. The Emperor of the Blue Moon Kingdom was dressed in a nine-clawed dragon robe, wearing a crown on his head, and he sat on the dragon chair proudly, looking inside and outside the hall.
"Today is the triennial hunting ceremony, you Aiqing, you have to behave well. β
The Emperor of the Blue Moon Kingdom rarely made a joke.
The civil and military officials were very sold, and many of them laughed at the right time.
At this time, when Li Tianguo was attacking the Great Zhou Kingdom, many officials were anxious and asked to send troops to support the Great Zhou Kingdom, so as not to make the Great Zhou Kingdom the hinterland of the Li Heavenly Kingdom.
Even in the eyes of many people, at the moment of major events, any hunting ceremony should be postponed. Therefore, the faces of some officials were ugly, and the atmosphere in the hall was not very harmonious.
Less leaning, Xiang Yingqi, who was in the official house, stepped into the main hall.
"Xiang Qing is finally here, just waiting for you alone. β
As soon as the Emperor of the Blue Moon Kingdom saw Xiang Yingqi, his eyes immediately lit up.
A lot of people are showing different colors.
Xiang Yingqi is neither tall nor short, her skin is like snow, and her appearance is even more delicate, but her voice is hoarse and low, such a contrast makes her unusually attractive.
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, please sacrifice to the sky. β
Seeing that the hundred officials had arrived, the eunuch on the side shouted in time.
The worship of heaven is the most important step before the hunting ceremony, which means praying to the heavens. After that, the hunt was a gift to the heavens.
After a tedious worship, the Emperor of the Blue Moon Kingdom sat on the dragon horse, left the palace in front of the Imperial Forest Army, and walked towards the green mountains outside the capital.
The civil and military officials had different types of carriages, and they followed behind one after another.
Tang Fengyue naturally sat in Xiang Yingqi's carriage. However, Xiang Yingqi was not around, and she sat in the dragon of the Emperor of the Blue Moon Kingdom.
If he didn't know, there were still the queen and the three concubines in the dragon, Tang Fengyue really suspected that Xiang Yingqi and the emperor were messing around inside.
Half an hour later, Xiang Yingqi lifted the curtain and walked in, saw Tang Fengyue looking up and down, and wondered, "What is Brother Tang looking at?"
Tang Fengyue said with a smile: "Look at the prime minister, whether strawberries have been planted." β
Xiang Yingqi was puzzled, and Tang Fengyue didn't elaborate, otherwise he was really afraid that this woman would kill him on the spot.
"Brother Tang, all the matters related to the hunting mountain have been prepared, and it will be up to you when the time comes. β
When it came to killing Cang Zhantian, Xiang Yingqi's little face was full of excitement.
Tang Fengyue looked at it and said, "I can only do my best." β
"It's not about doing your best, it's about giving it your all. Brother Tang, you need to remember that the safety of the Great Zhou Kingdom is on you, and you are the hero of the Great Zhou Kingdom. If you fail, you will be a sinner who will never escape the blame!"
Xiang Yingqi has a delicate little face, which is really majestic.
Tang Fengyue nodded speechlessly, but she didn't think so. In his opinion, killing Cang Zhantian by himself is more of a personal grudge, and as for the feelings of family and country, it is a little farther away.
After walking for about three hours, the emperor and the important ministers of the court successfully arrived at the foot of the hunting mountain.
An army had already surrounded the hunting mountain, and a general came on horseback and knelt on the ground: "Greetings to Your Majesty." β
After a few more hours, the group finally came to the halfway point of the hunting mountain.
At this time, it was already dark night, Tang Fengyue saw that all kinds of camp tents had already been arranged, and around them were heavily guarded Cao Ge troops, under their turn to guard, even if it was a mosquito, don't want to fly in.
Even if a hundred civil and military officials enter it, they need to verify their identities one by one, and each person can only bring two or three close people into it.
"Old thing!"
From afar, Tang Fengyue saw Cang Zhantian.
Because of his advanced age, Cang Zhantian did not participate in the sacrifice to the sky, but came directly to the hunting home. The Emperor of the Blue Moon Kingdom had an intimate conversation with him, looking like a gentleman and a virtuous minister.
"Brother Tang, tomorrow's hunting ceremony has officially begun. There will be a series of accidents that will happen, and you will have to wait for the opportunity to act. β
Xiang Yingqi reminded again.
Tang Fengyue nodded.
On the second day, the sky was bright and clear.
Everyone gathered in the huge open hunting field.
The hunting ceremony, at the beginning, was naturally shot by the princes and many courtiers, competing in archery, in an endless cheer, the time came to noon.
"Marshal Cang, in the past, you fought the world and became famous in the Six Kingdoms with your clever archery skills, and today is the right time, why don't you give you a hand?"
After eating, everyone returned to everyone, Xiang Yingqi stood up and said.
Cang Zhantian's eyes narrowed, and before he could speak, the young guard beside him had already stood up and shouted: "Presumptuous! The marshal's archery skills are used to kill the enemy, not to perform. β
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly cooled down.
Now everyone knows that Cang Zhantian and Xiang Yingqi do not agree, and the struggle for power between the two has been put on the surface. The crowd was watching in secret.
"Who are you to dare to speak like this to your true nature? Qi Tai, palm mouth. β
Xiang Yingqi said flatly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flew towards the young guard. The young guard is not extraordinary, he actually has a smallpox level of cultivation, and his strength has also reached the peak master level, which is not inferior to the likes of the green sky.
Tang Fengyue didn't want to arouse Cang Zhantian's suspicion, so he deliberately reserved more than half of his strength, fought nearly a hundred moves, and beat the young guard to the ground with one palm.
"Prime Minister Xiang, a battle of words and tongues will seriously injure the old man's people, your guards are really a good means. β
Cang Zhantian glanced at Tang Fengyue.
What's the matter with this Qi Tai, he is so ruthless to his own people. After thinking about it, Cang Zhantian understood again that Qi Tai must have been afraid of arousing Xiang Yingqi's suspicions.
Xiang Yingqi also glanced at Tang Fengyue and said with a smile: "How are the subordinates of the prime minister, there is no need for the old marshal to worry about it." The old marshal should teach his own people well first. β
Cang Zhantian smiled and didn't speak.
Xiang Yingqi's heart sank. This is really an old fox, who is obviously about to launch a mutiny, but he is still so calm and quiet.
The hunt continues, followed by a real hunting competition.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am also going to participate in the competition this time. β
The words of the Emperor of the Blue Moon Kingdom shocked everyone at the scene. The civil and military officials reacted, and they all knelt on the ground, begging him to take back his life.
There are no soldiers guarding the green mountains, in case something happens to the emperor inside, who can afford this responsibility?
"Your Majesty, no. β
Cang Zhantian knelt on one knee, his eyes shining.
"Needless to say, I have made up my mind. β
With a wave of his hand, the Emperor of the Blue Moon Kingdom took off his outer dragon robe, revealing a decent yellow samurai uniform. It seems that he has been preparing for a long time in order to show his strength today.
The crowd could not.
Seeing that the emperor got on his horse, the general guarding here had no choice but to lead a large number of soldiers to follow closely behind. The group soon disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Cang Zhantian gestured to the injured young guard, and the young guard nodded and left.
"Even if you're playing tricks, the old man has to give it a try. β
Cang Zhantian is old and calculating, how can he not see today's abnormality. However, he has a heavy army in his hands, and he is confident that all the fortresses in the Blue Moon Country are his men, and he has already won the battle.
For Cang Zhantian, if he was able to kill the Emperor of the Blue Moon Country today, he was naturally overjoyed. It's okay if you can't kill it, but it's a big deal that it will take a lot of effort then.
Tang Fengyue followed behind Xiang Yingqi and also rode a horse to participate in the hunting competition.
"Prime Minister, I'm afraid that the old thing will see something. β
Tang Fengyue said softly.
"It just wants him to be suspicious. Cang Zhantian is a self-righteous person, and he believes that he will definitely take risks. β
Xiang Yingqi smiled and looked extremely confident. couldn't help but feel that Tang Fengyue was also infected by her, as if she had seen the picture of killing Cang Zhantian with her own hands.
Most of the military attachΓ©s present participated in the hunting competition, and the civil officials returned to the camp tent and either slept or went to live happily with the beautiful maids they brought.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a shocking noise erupted in the main hunting arena.
"What's going on?"
Many civil officials ran out of the camp tent, and saw a large group of fierce and vicious people rushing into the hunting field and killing straight into the camp where Cang Zhantian was.
"This is a felony who was imprisoned in the prison, how did he get out?"
A high-ranking official of the Criminal Department shouted, his face pale.
But all the felons in the prison are all ruthless and vicious gangsters who have done all the bad things, but one by one their martial arts are unfathomable, and now they actually rush here to kill? !
"Get out of here!"
A large wave of soldiers surrounded the camp where Cang Zhantian was located, and fought with the felons who were released. Soon, the soldiers were killed.
"Brothers, the day of regaining your freedom is just around the corner, kill!"
A bald head with a scarred face rushed to the front of the felons and was the first to enter the camp. He has smallpox level cultivation, and his strength is a high-level master.
Laugh at!
Blood splattered, and there was no sound in the tent.
Seeing that this was not right, the group of felons attacked fiercely one by one, and stood directly outside the camp tent to perform their mastery, and one after another terrifying energy rushed into the camp tent like a storm.
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead. β
The storm froze suddenly. The sound in the tent was soft, but it reached everyone's ears.
A few miles away, Tang Fengyue's pupils shrank. He could clearly feel that the strength of the people in the camp was very strong, and it seemed that they were not weaker than Huangfu Hao, who had entered the late stage of the Chaoyuan Realm.
As he pondered, a scream rang out. The felons roared, and were soon slashed to pieces by the invisible force, and the severed limbs fell all over the ground.
The faces of those civil officials turned white with fright, and some of the beautiful maids who poked their heads out screamed and fainted on the spot.
"Little one, come out!"
The roar was like thunder, and it spread from the tent to all directions.
Tang Fengyue was shocked, and she felt like she was locked in from afar. He knew that the people in the tent had found him.
