Chapter 129
"Send a message to Qiandu, that matter can begin now."
Su Heng gave an order to Zhao Gao.
His second uncle is still in the court, which always makes him cautious.
Moreover, when he led his troops north, he had no reason to do so. If he had a reason, it would have saved him a lot of trouble in the future.
Zhao Gao responded and continued to drive the horse.
Jiangzhou.
Jiang family.
The Jiang family's spies reported what they had discovered.
Jiang Linhe and Jiang Yunhe looked at each other, and combined with the troop movements in the southern border, they immediately guessed each other's plans.
"Let's wait and see what happens and have the people below prepare."
"Once the southern border mobilizes troops, seize the remaining four states in Jiangnan as quickly as possible."
Jiang Linhe opened his mouth and immediately made a decision.
Jiang Yunhe did not refute and followed the order to leave.
Jiang Linhe looked at the moon outside the window, a trace of worry flashed across his brows.
After a hundred years, Daqian finally fell into chaos again.
He didn't understand what was the point of conquering the barren Daqian?
But as long as the other party is willing, he is willing to play with the other party.
Qiandu.
Shengqi also received instructions from Xuanzhou, and after reading it, he burned it.
Although doing so can achieve the plan, it ultimately involves great risks.
However, the Lord said that someone would help them complete the task tomorrow.
Well, since the master has given the order, all he can do is obey.
Shengqi called a guy over and whispered something in his ear, and then the guy left.
The next day.
Wuji Palace.
"Your Majesty has been ill for such a long time. I wonder when he will recover?"
"You are asking for your life, and you even dare to talk about His Majesty."
"If you want to die, don't get me involved."
The court meeting had not yet begun, and officials were chatting with each other in groups of three or four.
"Duke Lu is here!"
Hearing this voice, the officials present were stunned.
Duke Lu?
Why is the other party here?
Although he was confused, he still stood up and bowed slightly to show his respect.
Duke Lu held a tablet in his hand and greeted his colleagues around him.
When he saw the other three purple-robed ministers, he nodded in response.
Finally, he knelt and sat in the position of the former Zhongshu Ling Su Luqi.
After Duke Lu knelt down, he closed his eyes and rested.
Many ministers discussed the matter in groups of three or four. After all, Duke Lu was not required to attend court due to his rank.
But the other party came today. Could something big have happened?
"It seems that Lord Jia Xu is not here today?"
"Lord Jia Xu has taken sick leave. Given his frail condition, it's unclear how much longer he will be able to stay."
"Minister Su Huan was punished by the Minister of the Central Secretariat to copy Buddhist scriptures again today? Why didn't he come?"
"No restraint in speaking."
Hearing the other person say this, the person couldn't help but move away a little, fearing that the disaster would affect him.
"The Minister of the Central Secretariat has arrived."
The eunuch's voice sounded, and then Suluqi, wearing a purple official robe, walked to the first step and faced all the officials present.
"Greetings, Minister of the Central Secretariat!"
The officials present stood up and bowed to Suluqi.
To be an official to this level is to be considered the highest position in the country.
Of course, the four purple-robed officials did not take any action.
Their status is equal. Although the other party is regent, their opinions are also extremely important.
"No need to be so polite, everyone."
After Su Luqi finished speaking, he knelt down first.
"I have a petition to submit. If there is nothing else, I will leave the court."
The eunuch beside him spoke.
An official was about to stand up when he noticed the look in Duke Lu's eyes.
He knelt down again.
Duke Lu stood up and walked to the center.
"Zhongshu Ling!"
Duke Lu bowed slightly, but at the moment he bowed, a crossbow arrow shot out from in front of him and went straight towards Su Luqi.
Su Luqi's reaction was naturally not slow. He quickly took action to try to avoid the crossbow arrow.
But for some reason, his spiritual power seemed to be out of control, making it impossible to mobilize it at all.
He wanted to dodge, but he was no faster than the crossbow arrow. The crossbow arrow came straight towards him and penetrated his heart.
Su Luqi widened his eyes and looked down at the crossbow arrow stuck in his heart.
Without saying anything, he fell down, blood coming out of his mouth.
The ministers present were unable to react to this sudden change. By the time they did, the Minister of the Central Secretariat had already fallen to the ground.
"Escort!"
"You're talking nonsense again. If you want to die, don't take me with you!"
"It's already this late, and you're still bothering with this. Come quickly."
The ministers present moved closer to each other and kept moving away from Duke Lu who was in the center.
Soon a large group of people came out and surrounded the ministers present, but these people were not the imperial guards.
The ministers present were so frightened that their legs went weak when they saw these people appear.
Canglong Guard!
How could it be the Canglong Guard?
The Canglong Guard is in Daqian, and only Your Majesty can mobilize them.
Is the current situation your Majesty's order?
Before the ministers present could react, the Canglong Guards, holding crossbows in their hands, fired at the ministers present.
Many ministers were so panicked that they didn't notice at all that Su Luqi's "corpse" had disappeared long ago.
Yuan Xingzhou couldn't help but frown as he watched the actions around him.
He turned around to take a look at the situation of the Minister of the Central Secretariat. Although he was blocked by the Canglong Guards, he was still able to see the situation on the ground clearly.
Where is the Minister of the Central Secretariat present?
Yuan Xingzhou was not stupid, and he immediately deduced a lot of things from these situations.
Others don’t know Su Luqi’s identity, but doesn’t he know it?
It was because he knew clearly that he knew how Duke Lu, with his cultivation at the peak of Grandmaster level, could have assassinated Su Luqi?
Wait, where is Duke Lu?
Duke Lu also disappeared?
Before he could react, he saw the Canglong Guards present pointing their crossbows at their companions and pulling the trigger at the same time.
The Canglong Guards present received their lunch boxes and all of them died on the spot.
Seeing this, Yuan Xingzhou felt even more terrified.
Who on earth was it that put his hand into the Canglong Guards and caused all of them to die here?
A royal self-directed performance?
will not.
The royal family isn't that stupid.
Before he could react, an angry shout was heard.
Immediately afterwards, the aura of three people in the Heavenly Realm burst out and chased straight out of the palace.
The black jade Qilin acted as bait, attracting Li Qian's attention.
Being chased by three powerful men of the same level made him frown, but when it came to hiding, he had never been afraid.
He becomes this person now and that person then.
After a while, he shook off the three people who were chasing him.
"Damn it!"
The three of them stood in the void, their spiritual consciousness constantly scanning the surroundings.
"How brave!"
The three of them sensed something and headed straight for the Secretariat.
At this time, they saw that the Zhongshu Mansion was already engulfed in flames. According to their spiritual senses, there was no one alive at all.
But according to their spiritual perception, there were many corpses in the fire.
The entire Zhongshu Mansion was slaughtered at the foot of the imperial city!
