Chapter 174 - settled
An Wang walked down the steps all the way, walking lightly and slowly, first walking to the side of his guards, and suddenly pulled out a long knife from the waist of one of the guards. chill.
With a resolute expression, he raised his hand and placed the knife on the fourth prince’s shoulder, and looked up at the emperor with a smile: “Uncle, I wonder if you can protect your son this time.”
The frightened gasps sounded one after another, but the fourth prince who was the hostage did not show any fear, his handsome face was cold, and he looked straight at King An: “Look, no matter how well you pretend to be, you are just a scoundrel. , obviously his own ambitions are rampant, but he still has to borrow the name of your father, if my royal uncle knows the underground, I am afraid that I would also like to kill your unfilial and unfaithful son!”
An Wang’s eyes narrowed, killing intent was already in his heart, and he sneered: “Really? That’s right, I will send you down to meet him and see if he is really what you said!”
In the blink of an eye, just as King An raised his hand, a few discs suddenly flew from behind him. Ling Lie’s breath with a biting coldness caused a shudder in his neck. Dodging next to him, this is, the fourth prince used his strength to overturn the table in front of him, hitting his leg.
Wang An couldn’t hold back the momentum, and the strength in his hand loosened, and the knife let go, and was firmly inserted into the mahogany column.
The situation changed quickly, and everyone was amazed and inexplicable. When everything was settled, they found that King An was barely standing with the help of his subordinates in time. The fourth prince did not move. In the main hall one after the other, several palace servants who could not escape were also injured.
“Okay, okay!” King An was completely angry. He originally wanted to keep a few princes, just like the emperor left him back then, as a tool to show kindness, and most of them couldn’t make any noise anyway.
As a result, to the effect of carelessness, it suffered a dark loss.
“Since this is the case, the fourth prince should not blame this king for not thinking of brotherhood.” He said coldly, turning his head to the direction behind him, his black eyes full of ferocity, “Fang Cai, who is behind this king.”
He asked twice in a row, and there were always those who were timid and frightened, or those who wanted to take refuge in King An, and raised their hand to identify the person: “Yes, it’s him!”
An Wang Xunsheng looked at him, his eyebrows raised slightly: “Whose family is this? General Dingyuan?”
He recognized at a glance that it was the boy who had followed the Fourth Prince earlier, and his eyes became a little complicated: “Your surname is Zhang?”
This is a bit of a hassle.
Dingyuan General Zhang Dian has been stationed in the frontier all year round. Although his official position is not high, and the boundary cannot be called a fortress, in the end he has more than 100,000 soldiers, and he is on the frontier.
An Wang also hoped to keep his family as a threat, and let Zhang Dian stay in the frontier and wait for his people to come to pick him up, so he really couldn’t move Zhang Hao at this moment.
He frowned, looked him up and down in displeasure, and suddenly smiled: “Forget it, this time it’s a lesson, if there is another time, this king will ask you for a hand first, and if you do it again, it will be a lesson. One leg, Zhang family boy, count it yourself, you still have a few chances to offend this king.”
Although Zhang Hao refused to accept it, he was not impatient, and knew that he couldn’t confront Prince An at this time, otherwise he and the Zhang family would suffer.
He silently lowered his eyes, his angular face had not faded away from the youthful vigor, and in Wang An’s eyes, he would inevitably feel that he was too immature. Ignore him.
“Good times are rare.”
King An turned around with a big smile. To him, the Fourth Prince and Zhang Hao were no match for him. Only the Emperor who had suppressed him for twenty years was the one he longed to defeat. opponent.
“Today is His Majesty’s birthday. As a junior, this king naturally wants to offer you a birthday gift.” As soon as he raised his hand, there was a bright yellow scroll next to him, and it was the imperial decree at first sight.
“Don’t bother you,” said An Wang, “I have already written the edict above, and I also ask Your Majesty to specify where the jade seal is, and I will have someone pick it up.”
If there was anything in An Wang’s heart that he could not rest assured, it was the jade seal placed in the Taiji Hall.
He tried his best to get the jade seal, which symbolized the authority of the world. Otherwise, it would be much more convenient to save the emperor’s seal and directly implement the imperial decree.
An Wang watched his men hand the imperial edict to the emperor, and while holding a knife, he casually walked past the four princes one by one.
“Your Majesty, I don’t have much time. If one stick of incense is too late, I will kill one of your sons. You can count how much time can be delayed.”
An Wang spoke slowly. During the threat period, his eyes always fell on the emperor’s calm face, his eyes narrowed slightly, hoping to see a trace of panic or anxiety on his face, but unfortunately, there was nothing.
The emperor lightly patted the faucet on the armrest of the dragon chair next to him, and his tone was even gentle, “I’m afraid your time has run out.”
Hearing this, An Wang suddenly felt a chill from his back, and the unease that had always haunted his heart suddenly expanded, filling his entire chest.
“What do you mean?”
The emperor looked down at him condescendingly, with a bit of pity in his deep and calm eyes: “Don’t you think that Prince An is too quiet outside?”
An Wang was stunned for a moment, and looked behind him in disbelief. Just now he was following him in a proper manner. The guards who listened to his order were suddenly divided into two. Before one person could react, the other half suddenly Holding the knife, he stepped forward and took down the person dressed in the same way.
“The minister waited fortunately not to be humiliated.”
The single tree was hard to support, and King An’s arm holding the knife trembled slightly.
Poison was ahead, and King An was actually not worried that he would lose his hand at the banquet tonight, so most of the guards he brought in were from the Xu family, just because he was afraid that the Xu family would temporarily rebel. water, thereby completely tying the opponent to his own boat.
Unexpectedly, the Xu family can still be so useless, and half of the so-called dead men given to him are the emperor.
You dare to call yourself a family, you are simply incompetent!
An Dynasty stared at the place where the Xu family was sitting, looking at Xu Litao’s face even more shocked and dazed than his own. For the first time, he regretted why he couldn’t think of forming an alliance with the Xu family in the first place. Calling them pigs is too much.
He turned around angrily and said to the emperor: “Your Majesty is indeed resourceful, but you are still poisoned by me. After an hour, without my antidote, I will win this battle after all!”
“I thought it was Prince An who knew medicine and could produce strange poisons,” the emperor disagreed and said with a warm smile, “You might as well take a closer look, but it’s just some kind of poison like sweating medicine. It’s almost enough to be powerless overnight, and it won’t damage your life.”
An Wang stopped resisting in a daze. How could he know what kind of medicine or poison? These poisons with miraculous effects were prepared according to the prescriptions.
He was able to use his own intelligence and extraordinary memory to write down all the properties of the prescriptions recorded above. In the end, in order to ensure the top secret, he burned the poison scripture smoothly, but it does not mean that he can distinguish the specific medicinal materials based on his sense of smell or taste. Ability.
At this moment, the emperor said that those were just sweat medicine, and he already believed it 80%.
It is not uncommon for the emperor to change his manpower, and to change the medicine along the way.
Thinking of what he said just now that it was too quiet outside, Wang An’s face was cold, the boulder in his heart fell heavily, and the severe pain slowly spread to his limbs.
The forces he had cultivated over the years came out in full force, intending to take advantage of the Longevity Festival and when the imperial city’s defenses were relaxed, to replace it.
Even if he couldn’t kill all the Imperial Guards, as long as there was trouble, the more chaotic the scene, the better it would be for him.
There were a few dark lights in An Wang’s eyes, and he was silent for a long time, then he laughed in a low voice, revealing a touch of sadness: “Your Majesty is brilliant.”
He raised his eyes and looked up: “It is estimated that my planning for so many years, in your eyes, is nothing but a child’s farce.”
Without waiting for the emperor to respond, he turned around abruptly, picked up the knife and slashed straight at the fourth prince, Pei Qian.
Prince An knew that the eldest prince Liang was weak and weak, the second prince was connected to the Xu family behind him, and the third prince was self-righteous, but the fourth prince was the only one left.
As long as he can kill him and break the emperor’s thoughts, then he will have a fight tonight, and even if he loses, he will not feel regret.
Everyone thought that Prince An should not admit defeat so quickly, there is still room for resistance, no one expected that he would break the pot like this, not thinking about how to get out, but simply taking the life of the fourth prince to be buried with him.
So for a while, no one could react.
Just at the critical moment, a vase was thrown from out of nowhere, and it slammed into King An’s forehead. The force was not heavy, but it was enough to make his knife deflect and stab the fourth prince in the right shoulder.
“what!”
“Come on here! Quickly ask the imperial doctor to come here!”
“The fourth prince is injured!”
Several chaotic voices swarmed in from outside the hall. King An knew that his plan to block the imperial city had probably all failed. Then he looked at Pei Qian, who was covering his right shoulder and was blocked by several guards. unwilling.
who is it? !
Who is it? !
He let go of his strength, let the guards step forward, snatched the blade from his hand, and then locked his shoulders tightly to prevent him from stabbing again.
These King An couldn’t take it any longer. He couldn’t wait to look in the direction where the vase had just come. A delicate white and tender face came into view. The bright light in the bright eyes was very familiar, and the cinnabar mole at the end of the eye was like a murderous arrow. , pierced straight into the depths of his heart.
Even if it is an emperor, the devil is one foot high, the road is ten feet high, and he becomes a king and loses a pirate. If he loses, he admits that his skills are inferior to others.
But that woman, who has no ability, can always jump out at a critical moment to disrupt his plan and let him fail?
In his last life, did he dig up her ancestral grave and let her come to him so conscientiously in this life?
“Bai, Chu, Hua!” An Wang gritted his teeth and spat out three words, his chest was so painful that he was tortured by regret and unwillingness.
Why didn’t he look down on her in the first place and let her go!
How good would it be to kill her directly, why didn’t he kill her cruelly? !
The author has something to say: An Wang (grinning his teeth): What about the halo of the protagonist?
Bai Chu (extraordinarily innocent): This is the protagonist’s halo.
