Chapter 571: Wind and Rain West Capital City
Leaving the Ten Thousand Poison Garden, Han Tongwen secretly went to see Xia Yu again, since Xia Yu returned to Great Xia, Xia Emperor Xia Qi was greatly relieved, after all, Xia Yu was the most outstanding prince of the royal family. Originally www.biquge.info, Emperor Xia was ready to sacrifice his son, but he didn't expect them to escape, and there was a call for Xia Yu to be re-established in the court. Xia Yu disappeared inexplicably as the crown prince for more than five years, many people thought that Xia Yu died at the hands of those who rebelled in Qingzhou, Xia Qi did not explain in order to conceal the news that Xia Yu was sent to Chang'an as a hostage, and also re-established the third son Xiahou as the crown prince.
Xiahou's power in the court has risen sharply over the years, and most of the people who originally took refuge in Xia Yu have been under Xiahou's account, and re-establishing Xia Yu is equivalent to opposing Xiahou who is now in power, for his own throne, Xiahou immediately began to purge these people, and when Han Tongwen saw Xia Yu, Xia Yu was also worried about this matter.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Emperor Xia will ascend to heaven in the near future, and I hope you will prepare as soon as possible," Han Tongwen said.
"It's not going well, most of the people in my Xia clan are on Xiahou's side, it's a little difficult for me to seize power" Xia Yu was a little worried.
"Since we have embarked on this road of no return, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be completely ruthless, and there are few indecisive people who have achieved great things since ancient times."
"You mean..."
Han Tongwen made a gesture of killing, Xia Yu's heart was struggling, on the one hand, there was supreme power, and on the other hand, those royal clansmen.
"If it is a little difficult to kill Xiahou directly, as the crown prince, he has a lot of great martial arts around him to protect him" Han Tongwen's mind is very clear, he wants to assassinate the prince of a country, unless the martial saint personally goes out.
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agrees, you might as well give me the list of those core figures in the Xiahou camp, I am willing to do it for me."
"And me, I know these royal guards very well, and I believe that the odds of victory will be higher" Du Shuchang is the son of the Du family, and the Du family is the lord of the Red Mansion in Great Xia, these guard forces are not a secret to him at all. And Du Shuchang is not a good person, he will not put human life in his eyes if he can become a strong man in the Great Martial Sect, as long as it is time to kill, he will not let go of anyone who should be killed.
"Don't do anything!"
Xia Yu listed the people with the highest opposition in the court, but he didn't let Du Shuchang make a move. Han Tongwen knew that he didn't mind what he was paying attention to, although they were friends, but before this kind of big right and wrong, the two could only use each other.
The Black Knife and Cangyun Sword were not around, but Han Tongwen, who had released the killing intent of the Night Shura, was still terrifying. For three days in a row, the people of Xijing in Great Xia were panicked, three princes of the imperial family were killed, and the Shangshu of the military department was killed, and at the same time as martial law was imposed on the city, the Red Mansion, the most terrifying organization of the Great Xia Empire, also began to operate. A reddish eight-story wooden building in the southeast corner of Xijing is very conspicuous, there is no escort and there is no need for any guard, the warriors of the nearly seven floors of the Great Xia Empire are all subordinate to the terrifying Red Mansion, and there are five people on the eighth floor of the Red Mansion who are conspiring, and these five people are the four most prestigious people in the martial arts world of Great Xia.
In the center is naturally the overlord Du Yan, who has the dual identity of the head of the Du family and the owner of the Red Mansion, followed by the Leng family's family living in Leng Ao, who is nearly fifty years old, and his strength is very terrifying, he is also the martial saint of the Zhenguo and the deputy hall master of the martial palace, and there is the highest rank in the Great Xia Empire, the great elder of the Red Mansion An Jiugong, and the last one is the person Han Tongwen is determined to kill, the ninth-level supernatural Great Xia Snow Demon, a middle-aged man with a pale face, and the heads of the three major martial arts families in Great Xia are all here!
"The landlord doesn't know what is the matter with summoning us," the snow demon asked.
"Recently, Xijing has been a little unpeaceful, there are assassins who have come and gone without a trace, wantonly committing murder within the scope of my Red Mansion, and several senior officials in the court have been murdered one after another, I don't know what some of them have in mind," Du Yan said.
"Is it worth it to fight for the sake of an assassin?" asked An Jiugong, leaning back in his chair.
"Gong An, haven't you forgotten that the prince of the Tang Dynasty was assassinated?
"There is a landlord guarding Xijing, is there anyone who dares to assassinate the prince under his nose?" An Jiugong smiled.
"Don't hide it from Duke An, someone peeped into the artifact in my Overlord Pavilion, and now I am also lacking in skills" Du Yan sighed.
"Is that troublesome person here again?" the snow demon asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, I won't let him go so easily this time, I want to never have trouble this time, so please worry about the affairs in Xijing."
"The artifact in the Overlord Pavilion is the top priority of my Great Xia Martial Arts Realm, of course, everything is still based on the Overlord Pavilion"
"Also, if Your Majesty orders the assassination of Li An, suspend the operation!" This is the point that Du Yan wants to say today.
"Why is this, Your Majesty has already secretly decreed" The snow demon was a little puzzled.
"Give up, because no one in the entire Great Xia can complete this task, because that person is here, don't anger him...."Even Du Yan, who is a martial arts overlord, doesn't want to be angered, which shows that this person's strength is at least at the level of a martial saint, and Datang actually sent a martial saint to protect Li An.
Leng Ao didn't say a word from beginning to end, but in the five empires, this unsmiling powerhouse has dominant-level combat power, and after hearing Du Yan's words, there is a brilliance in his eyes, cold arrogance is an out-and-out martial idiot, and he will not give up any opportunity to fight with the strong.
Han Tongwen is on the last mission, and the last person on the list that needs to be assassinated, Xia Yong, the commander of the Xia Imperial Guard. The commander of the Praetorian Guard is a very fatal position, commanding most of the army in the palace, if Xia Yong is determined to oppose Xia Yu, it will be a huge crisis, so Xia Yu included this person in the ranks of the must-kill, Xia Yong himself is also a skilled martial artist, so Han Tongwen put him last. Han Tongwen, who was deaf and clear-sighted, did not find that a ghost-like shadow had been following him all the time, this person was Leng Ao, seeing Han Tongwen enter Xia Yong's Mansion, Leng Ao naturally couldn't stand by as a warrior of the Great Xia Empire, but when he was just about to stop Han Tongwen, a person at the end of his vision stood quietly on the roof, with a strong upper body and short straight braids, and as soon as this person appeared, he immediately attracted all the attention of Leng Ao.
In a war, Han Tongwen finally succeeded in pulling out the last nail of Xia Yu's accession to the throne, and what he needed now was to wait for Emperor Xia's death. This moment came quickly, as soon as Xia Yong died, the death knell bell came out in the Great Xia Palace, Xijing instantly made a noise, and the ministers led by Prime Minister Xu Youzhi entered the court, Xu Youzhi didn't understand why Xia Huangqi, who was gradually improving in physical condition, suddenly died!
The court was in chaos, Xia Qi's death was really inexplicable, he just drank a bowl of tonic ginseng soup before falling asleep, but he died suddenly in the middle of the night, a group of imperial doctors were helpless in front of Xia Qi's corpse, they have not found out the cause of the emperor's death until now, if the cause of death cannot be found, then their death period will fall. Looking at all kinds of chaos in the court, Xu Yuzhi is the calmest person, Emperor Xia's death is already an established reality, and now what he has to deal with now is the throne!
Xia Hou stood in the most conspicuous place in the court, although he didn't know what to think in his heart, but he seemed to be very sad. Xiahou and Xia Qi have similar personalities, if he is made the emperor and the emperor, according to his character, it will definitely be the next Xia Qi to dominate all the rights of the court, and these courtiers still have no right to speak in the court. Thinking about the recent assassination of these important court officials, it seems that they are all close to Xiahou, and Xia Yu is hovering in Xu Yuzhi's mind. But the position of the prince should have belonged to Xia Yu, although others didn't know that Xia Yu entered Chang'an as a proton, but Xu Yuzhi, as the prime minister, still knew something. In terms of talent and morality, Xia Yu threw Xiahou several streets, even if Xia Yu really did the assassination of the courtiers this time, Xu Yuzhi still wanted to support Xia Yu as the emperor. But after all, Xiahou is the crown prince appointed by the emperor himself, and only the emperor in the world is qualified to appoint the next emperor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although Your Majesty has died, but the family cannot be a master for a day, and the country cannot be a king for a day, and now the crown prince is invited to ascend the throne as the emperor and preside over the funeral of the first emperor."
"Respectfully invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne!"
Most of the courtiers were half-kneeling on the ground to ask Xiahou to ascend the throne, Xiahou was excited, his father had just died, and the courtiers wanted to support him as an enemy, but he forgot even the most basic humility and sadness and was about to agree, but there was a voice of opposition outside the court.
"Wait, you can't ascend the throne!"
