Chapter 204: The Beginning of Dragon Slaying (Revision)
For the second time, I didn’t continue editing and saving the manuscript tonight, so I just finished this!
At dusk, the family banquet began, and Chen Mu held onto the jade bottle hidden in his sleeve. I took the detoxifying elixir that Emiya gave me before, so it should be fine, right?
He carefully looked at the plates of delicacies in front of him. Because he didn't know which plate was poisonous, he carefully selected a few ingredients to eat.
"Brother Wang, how come you have changed to a vegetarian diet during this period?" Prince Dingxi, who was sitting next to him, asked with a smile. Because King Dingxi used the suppression of the western frontier as an excuse to not come to the royal capital, but he had no choice but to not attend this royal gathering, so he could only ask his heir apparent to come on his behalf.
"It's nothing." Chen Mu said with a smile: "I pray for my father during this period, so I won't touch those fishy things."
The two princes were talking, and the concubines above also started to scheming with each other.
Concubine Hui looked at the pile of mandarin fish in front of her and smiled secretly.
Because there are many identical dishes on every table when the food is served, it is difficult to poison someone in the imperial kitchen at the beginning if you want to target an individual. You can only do it when the dishes are being served after the meal is cooked halfway. In this way, the impact area will be very small and easy to detect.
But because of her eating habits, Concubine Hui usually served a plate of mandarin fish during banquets. Concubine Hui is from the south and likes to eat fish, but this is not the case for other concubines in the palace. Therefore, this kind of eating habit has become the easiest place to drug.
Sister Queen, I hope you can escape this disaster. After all, aren’t there many of your people in the imperial dining room?
This plate of mandarin fish is poisonous. Just sprinkle the sweet-scented osmanthus on top. These sweet-scented osmanthus have been specially soaked in broken heart powder. This was what Concubine Hui hinted at when she was serving the plate. But because of Concubine Hui’s personal habits. It makes sense to say that he started in the imperial dining room.
I took a pair of chopsticks and took a small taste. The queen not far away clinked a drink with her with a smile on her face. "My sister's birthday is coming soon. My sister will celebrate first." Birthday? It would be more appropriate to say it is Ming Dan!
Concubine Hui drank the wine and smiled. You really need to celebrate, celebrate that you have been deprived of the phoenix crown and phoenix seal!
Not long after, she put down her chopsticks and held her stomach, crying out that it hurt, and then vomited out a mouthful of black blood.
Seeing the black blood vomiting out, Concubine Hui herself was stunned: The poison she had administered was not of such great weight, right?
The pain like needles in the abdomen is completely different from the disguise at the beginning. This is a real life-destroying poison!
After thinking carefully in her mind, Concubine Hui pointed at the Queen with a trembling finger.
The queen looked frightened and hurriedly came to Concubine Hui: "Sister. Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"Come here, come quickly!" The queen ordered to the people around her: "Send the imperial doctor quickly!"
Concubine Hui was so dragged by the queen that she fainted without saying a word.
Emperor Chen was originally discussing state affairs with the Taoist Secretary beside him, but they didn't look at each other until something happened.
The Queen pointed angrily at Concubine Wan: "Come here, arrest Concubine Wan! How dare you poison Concubine Hui's sister in public? Detain her first and then interrogate her carefully!"
After all, the queen is very majestic, and the confidants around her want to arrest people.
"What's going on?" The emperor came over and frowned.
The Queen and the Emperor have been married for how many years, and they still don't understand each other? The Queen looked sad: "Your Majesty. Just now, Concubine Hui's sister was poisoned and fell into a coma. Before she passed out, she pointed at me and called Concubine Wan's name. Your Majesty, what do you think the name of the person calling out while we were waiting meant? "
Normal people. When I thought of this, of course I thought it was the murderer! The same was true for Emperor Chen, but he and Concubine Wan were deeply in love, and he mused: "It's not necessarily Concubine Wan who did it. Besides, how did Concubine Hui know it was Concubine Wan's hand?"
"So I thought, take Wanbi down first. Then slowly find out the truth."
The emperor and empress showed no signs of panic. Chief Dao stepped forward to diagnose Concubine Hui and then shook his head: "Your Majesty. Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui's body is so poisonous that she cannot be saved."
"Check!" Before the emperor could speak, Queen Wang looked angry: "How did you get poisoned? The Taoist Priest is a virtuous person in the immortal way. Please give me some advice!"
"It seems that this plate of sweet-scented osmanthus fish has been poisoned?" Director Tao said after inspection: "This poison seems to be a strange poison from overseas. If we practitioners touch this thing, the foundation will be destroyed." It’s hard to escape the benefits. Moreover, the person who administered the medicine administered two kinds of poisons one after another, one in the sweet-scented osmanthus and one in the soup.”
With such a big movement, the surrounding princes also gathered around. The two princes, Peiping and Dingxi, glanced at each other and stood watching from a distance.
Gloating about misfortune, this is the thinking of many people in the royal family. Although a concubine died, so what? It's not like they died.
If it were those Confucian ministers, they might even scold them, but who among these royal family members does not understand the dirty tricks in the palace? Everyone stood aside and watched Emperor Chen's show. If something like this happens, don't worry about anything else. You can't escape the reputation of "the harem is restless and the emperor and empress don't pay attention".
In the distance, a man dressed like a eunuch secretly watched the commotion at the banquet. I don’t know if it’s time to send out a signal now. After all, the prince hasn’t sent a signal to him yet!
"What a shame!" Ding Kai jumped out from the darkness, grabbed the mailbox and pulled the fuse into the air. A cyan flare flew into the air and exploded.
Not to mention the palace, even the capital outside was aware of this movement.
In the Imperial Garden, a rockery suddenly cracked open, and a group of golden-armored soldiers poured out and directly fought against the imperial guards of the palace.
Ding Kai ducked and walked in the palace and went to the King of Peking to save people. This was also something they had discussed with Chen Mu in advance.
In the hall, Chen Mu's eyes flashed, and when he saw the signal flare, he also spilled the drink on his sleeve.
"Good boy, he looks very smart and knows how to detonate the flare in advance!"
As the wine soaked his sleeves, an intoxicating aroma hit his face and instantly filled the entire hall.
"Is this?" Most of the royal family members present had martial arts skills. They felt something was wrong and wanted to sweep the scent away. But at this moment, they felt that all their cultivation abilities were useless. I can't raise any internal energy at all.
Drunken Hibiscus, the secret recipe given to Wei Gong by Jiang Yuanchen. Although the pills from Ouyang Yu are good. But that's a chronic elixir, and it won't take effect until three days later. And it’s not very targeted. But Drunk Hibiscus is different. It uses the aroma to confuse the mind and can make the monks' muscles and bones become soft and paralyzed. This is a strong anesthetic for the body. Monks with spiritual consciousness can't bear it, let alone martial arts monks who pay the most attention to physical practice.
The better you are at controlling your physical body, the greater the impact you will receive at this time. Even Director Dao felt something wrong under the influence of this strong anesthetic, and could only use his spiritual consciousness to attack.
"Is it an immortal elixir?" Director Dao controlled the royal treasure remotely, and a golden dragon flag flew out of his arms. He slashed at Chen Mu.
At this time, who of us can care about the death of a concubine just now? All the martial arts monks collapsed on the ground and could only watch the Taoist Director and Chen Mu fight.
Chen Mu held a small golden bell, which was Wei Gong's natal magic weapon. In the distance, Wei Gong sensed it and sent his magic power through the air to protect Chen Mu with a golden bell. When Chen Mu dies, the Tongxin Gu attacks him and he will definitely not survive.
Wei Gong stood on the altar and cast spells and recited incantations. The golden bell fell on Chen Mu's head and turned into a golden shield.
"Don't worry, everyone!" Chen Mu stood under the protection of the golden bell and bowed to King Yongdong: "Uncle Wang, you also know how your Majesty persecuted my father. My nephew really has no choice this time. As a son of man, how can I sit down? To see my father being assassinated?"
Chen Mu looked sad: "Uncle should know the relationship between your Majesty and my father. Now that my nephew has received the news, your Majesty plans to poison my father after the banquet. In desperation, my nephew came up with this plan to disturb all the uncles and brothers of the same clan. I hope you will forgive me.”
The King of Peiping had always been against Emperor Chen and took this opportunity to poison him. All one needs to do is declare a sudden death, which is the most common method used by the royal family.
so. After Chen Mu gave this reason, King Yongdong couldn't help but look at Emperor Chen. The other princes were even more kind to appease Chen Mu. I was afraid that this person might have evil thoughts and harm them.
Human nature is like this, and now everyone's lives are in Chen Mu's hands. And since Chen Mu said he was just saving his father, they would not be stupid enough to anger Chen Mu when their lives were protected. They are a royal family, and they can just tell the ministers about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. At this time, who would go against Chen Mu for Chen Xi? Even the reasons are ready. Chen Xi is not prepared to take the proper route and wants to kill his brothers. Even if the emperor does such a thing, he has to ask everyone in the clan whether they agree.
"What nonsense!" Emperor Chen yelled angrily: "When did I take action against your father?" Conscience of heaven and earth, although Chen Xi wanted to take action against his younger brother, he was worried about his own reputation and the clan kings have never dared to take action. Woolen cloth. Where did this guy get the news?
"My father once saved a young eunuch in the palace in the past. Now, how can the news that that man risked his life to repay my father's kindness be false?" Chen Mu spoke plausibly, his expression unchanged as he continued to lie.
At this time, an army came from outside, but it was the most elite soldier of the King of Peiping.
A group of people came in and instantly took control of the situation and brought everyone under control. Although the Taoist priest was an immortal monk, he had no choice but to capture him because he was alone.
A general caught Chen Mu's look, smiled ferociously, and put the knife on Chen Xi's neck: "Your Majesty, since we have taken control of the palace, we might as well attack directly——"
"No!" Chen Mu and King Yongdong said at the same time.
Chen Mu said: "No matter what, he is the Emperor of Chen, and I have the same clan. He can attack my father without respecting brotherhood, but how can we attack him? The reason why I plotted to control the palace this time is completely It's just to save my father." If it comes to acting, this is a skill that the royal family has learned since elementary school, and Chen Mu undoubtedly used it very well. While hinting others to take action, you pretend to be a good person.
The throne? Of course, Chen Mu would definitely like to sit down if given the chance. But he knew very well that if he killed Chen Xi and occupied the palace at this time, the princes would raise an army to attack him tomorrow.
Therefore, instead of occupying this impossible-to-defend imperial palace, it is better to return directly to Peiping and take advantage of the geographical advantages to start a country. Because his performance this time definitely left an impression of integrity, benevolence and filial piety in the hearts of these compatriots. Even if Emperor Chen can survive today, when he attacks the Peking Palace in the future, other princes may not wholeheartedly send troops for him.
Chen Xi felt a chill in his heart and was not happy at all that he had escaped with his life. If he dies at this time, as long as any of his princes succeeds to the throne, he can become the ancestor spirit as the late emperor.
However, Chen Mu's words put him into an immoral situation. He could already think of how future generations would evaluate this change in the palace banquet.
"The prince of Peiping had a brave plan and went to the palace for a banquet to save his father. He was kind and kind and filial to his fellow clansmen. Emperor Chen was furious and sent troops to pursue him. Father and son returned to the north together, and the prince's reputation will be passed down forever."
Chen Xi's face was distorted, and she suddenly felt bad after thinking that a song praising Chen Mu might be spread in the future.
Chen Mu waited for a while, until the second signal bomb was sent out from outside, and then ordered his subordinates: "Evacuate!" Come like the wind, go like the wind. He only left one sentence to King Yongdong and others: "Uncles and brothers, if my father and son are able to return to the Northland in the future, they will definitely send an apology as an apology."
Chen Mu had to do a good job in acting, and looked like he was forced to fight back at all costs, and was forced to turn into Da Chen. With such a look of absolute determination and death, even King Yongdong and others found it difficult to speak.
If it is true as the nephew said, then Emperor Chen is entirely to blame for this incident!
"Speaking of which, His Majesty is really unlucky. First, there was a fire in his backyard, and then he was slapped in the face and left calmly. Even if what happens next, I won't be surprised." Dingxi Prince Wang sat leisurely watching the farce. I have the earth element goddess's talisman that my father requested to protect me. When the time comes, I will be a Earth Escaper.
Chen Mu's army only had a few thousand people. The reason why they were able to rescue people and even leave so quickly was not only because they were all elites, but also because they were secretly helped by Jiang Yuanchen and others. They were looking forward to Da Chen splitting into two, so the Imperial Guards were also knocked unconscious by the drunken hibiscus provided by Jiang Yuanchen.
Chen Mu and his party escaped from the palace through the passage. Taoist Yunmen outside the city ordered Murong Wan'er: "It's our turn to suppress the dragon energy!"
After hearing this, Murong Wan'er opened the altar to block the Great Chen Long Qi. In the Royal Garden of the Imperial Palace, a dragon-suppressing seal rippled in the lake and then covered the entire palace. When Chen Mu took action, the dragon energy in the palace began to split into two, and the Chen royal family began to split internally. With the addition of Murong Wan'er and Jiang Yuanchen's Dragon Suppressing Seal, the dragon energy above the palace dissipated.
"Emperor Chen, Ouyang Yu of the Jingyang Taoist sect has come to take your life as promised!"
"Lin Zixuan and Jiang Yuanchen of the Taixu Taoist Sect of the Kyushu Realm pay their respects to you all!"
…
"Yun Menzi, the Tianmen Dao of the Nine Provinces Realm, has met the Chen clan members of the Shenxiao Heavenly Court!"
Voices rang out one by one, and all the alchemy monks from the Kyushu Realm came to the palace. The momentum is so majestic that the current palace is completely unable to form a resistance force.
