After bidding farewell to Yue Rong that day, Kou Zhun had trouble sleeping and eating, thinking about Zhenzong's personal conquest and his reluctance in every possible way. If there is no urging and further delay, Zhenzong will forget about the personal conquest. So in the morning of the morning, Kou Zhun once again personally urged Zhenzong to go to war. After the dynasty, he went to the imperial garden to visit.
At this time, Wang Qinruo was discussing with Zhenzong about moving the capital to avoid disaster. He suppressed several urgent letters from Marshal Yang and refused to report them, causing Marshal Yang to die in grief.
Listen to Wang Qinruo's blunt words: "Your Majesty has a body of ten thousand gold, how can he go to the front and have a hard time with horses and horses? Moreover, the Liao army is so powerful that it may be difficult for our army to deal with it. It is better to lead the capital first to temporarily avoid its edge, and send another person with gold and silver property." If you bribe me, I think the Liao soldiers will definitely retreat, and then we can ensure peace in our country."
Wang Qinruo said again: "Your Majesty is so wise that you must not listen to Kou Zhun's nonsense. What should you do if something goes wrong?"
A concubine next to him hugged Zhenzong and said: "That Kou Zhun relied on himself to be the prime minister for a few days, but he didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and actually pushed His Majesty to the battlefield. How could our daughter's family suffer so much? Mr. Wang is right, it’s better to listen to Mr. Wang and don’t go to Chanzhou to supervise the battle!”
Kou Zhun happened to hear what the empress said. When Wang Qinruo and the concubine were trying to persuade Zhenzong, they suddenly saw Kou Zhun coming uninvited. They both retreated in dismay. Zhenzong had already been shaken by the words of Wang Qinruo and his concubine. When he saw Kou Zhun coming to visit him again, he wanted to get up and avoid Kou Zhun, but stopped Kou Zhun instead.
Kou Zhun said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that your desire to kill the enemy will be deceived and shaken by Wang Qinruo, so I came here to reassure you."
Zhenzong said helplessly: "Ai Qing, what else can I say?"
Kou Zhun said: "The fire burns the body. If you don't think about putting out the fire, you will look for the wind and run away. It will eventually intensify the fire. This is a self-destructive technique. Now the plan is to advance but not retreat. The Liao people must know the majesty of our dynasty." "
Zhenzong sighed: "Even if I go to Chanzhou, how can my beloved concubines endure the suffering on the battlefield?"
Kou Zhun said: "Women are timid and weak. Your Majesty, you must never have the kindness of a woman and listen to your daughter!"
Zhenzong asked again: "If we go to Chanzhou without victory, wouldn't I be involved in a dangerous situation?"
Kou Zhun lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground, and said generously: "I will pledge my head on my neck. If your majesty's trip cannot solve the urgent needs of Chanzhou, please convict me of deceiving the emperor and causing harm to the country. I will die without any regrets."
Zhenzong was speechless with his fatal words of loyalty. He just said: "My beloved is so loyal, why shouldn't I disobey you? Please step back first."
Kou Zhun was afraid that Zhenzong would return again, so he replied: "If this is the case, I will go and prepare for the expedition." Zhenzong agreed.
It was already dusk, and Kou Zhun was in the Prime Minister's Mansion preparing for the expedition. Just then, Guan Canghai and Xiao Yuerong came to see them in a hurry.
Kou Zhun asked what happened. Yue Rong will express his intention. Kou Zhun said angrily: "You are so bold, Yelu Xingnan. I told you today that you will never come back."
Yuerong said: "In the past, the common people had a sword-and-sword encounter with the Skeleton King. This man's martial arts in the Western Regions are vicious and vicious, and are unmatched by ordinary people. Your Excellency, you must be on strict guard to ensure that Yelv Xingnan is captured without fail." Kou Quan nodded.
Guan Canghai patted Yuerong on the shoulder and said, "I have never forgotten the scene of fighting side by side with my brothers at the foot of Jingchan Mountain. I wonder if my brother would be willing to capture the Liao bandits with me today."
Yue Rong Shuangli said well. The two of them held hands together as they spoke. Kou Zhun smiled slightly. All three firmly believe that victory is not too far away.
Night, very quiet.
The appearance inside and outside the palace remains the same as usual. The outside of Zhenzong's jade bed remains as before. The guards were full of energy and guarded the safety of the emperor.
At the third watch, the quiet atmosphere became tense with the arrival of a figure. The figure arrived quietly outside Zhenzong's jade bed in the blink of an eye, and no one could stop him.
Suddenly, a sharp gust of wind struck. The wind was like a sword, and it was a hundred times stronger than the swords in the hands of the guards. Before everyone could see what was going on, the strong wind was already approaching their bodies. All this seemed incredible to them. However, this incredible thing became their last memory.
boom! With a loud bang, the door and window of the jade bedroom suddenly shattered. The wind like a knife flows freely in the house, destroying anyone who stands in its way.
After a while, the atmosphere gradually subsided, and one person was heard saying: "Let me end Zhao Heng's life." It turned out that the black shadow was not one person, but actually two people. And the speaker came to Zhenzong's dragon bed and slashed at it with his knife. Zhenzong was still there on the bed, but it was just an illusion. At this time, the entire jade bed was suddenly brightly lit, just like daytime. The guards had already surrounded the jade bed inside and outside.
Guan Canghai and Xiao Yuerong escorted Kou Zhun out of the escort. I saw that one of the assassins was nearly fifty years old. He had a white face and narrow eyes, and a short black and yellow beard sticking up straight under his chin. This person is none other than Yelu Xingnan from Tianmen Gambling Bureau.
The other assassin stood beside Yelu Xingnan as quietly as a corpse. I don't know if there are any eyes in the dark sockets. A piece of pale skin wrapped around his head like paper. It looks like a living skull. Under the skull was a loose gray robe, covering his entire skeletal body.
This man remained motionless, but the palace guards held their breath for him. People saw that the person standing next to Yelv Xingnan was clearly a devil from hell.
"Yeluxingnan, your fox tail is finally exposed?" Guan Canghai's words startled everyone away.
Yelv Xingnan heard Guan Canghai's words and said disdainfully: "So what? Even if I fall into your trap today, what can you do to me?"
Guan Canghai was furious and shouted, and all the guards came over to capture Yelv Xingnan. Before Yelv Xingnan could take action, the gray-robed skeleton man casually flicked out his sleeve, and seven or eight guards fell to the ground together. At the same time, the skeleton man's left hand moved toward the guards on the left. This time, another seven or eight guards fell to the ground. What's even more frightening is that in an instant, the heads of the fallen guards turned into white skulls, as if they were being licked by a monster.
Everyone around was horrified when they saw this.
Yuerong had long recognized that this person was the Skeleton King of the Western Regions. Kou Zhun shouted loudly: "You dare to be a demon, and you won't be able to catch him without restraint!"
The Skeleton King laughed in his hoarse voice and said, "Take another slap from me!" He struck out at Kou Zhun with his palm. Yuerong flew out from the side and took the Skeleton King's palm in person. Yue Rong knew that the Skeleton King was no small matter, so he used his true strength to greet him. However, he was pushed back by the Skeleton King's single palm. Yue Rong did not dare to neglect, and before his feet landed on the ground, his figure rose up from the void again, twitching. Fengyun Sword spread out a cold light and attacked the two Skeleton Kings.
With a sharp sound of "Cang Rang", Guan Canghai's iron sword was already unsheathed and followed Yuerong.
Yelv Xingnan said: "Stay here tonight, don't be too eager to fight, leave here quickly and let's talk." As he spoke, the Skeleton King's 'whisk sleeve' flew out again, against Yue Rong and Guan Canghai's swords. Then the portable Yelv Xingnan turned around and walked away. For a moment, the fierce wind filled the entire jade bed again, like thousands of arrows flying, and those who were chasing and blocking him were killed and injured on the ground.
Yuerong and Guan Canghai had no time to go after him, but used their true energy to protect Kou Zhun to protect the prime minister from being hurt by Skeleton King Feng Jin.
Suddenly the sharp wind passed away again, and all the guards were injured and could not move. Yue Rongfei went out to take a look, and saw the dark sky thousands of miles away, the moon stars twinkling, and the willows rustling in the breeze. How could he find the Skeleton King? Yuerong sighed: "What a profound skill!" Then she stopped chasing and returned to the jade bed.
Listen to Kou Zhun ask: "The person with this weird martial arts is the Skeleton King!"
Yuerong said: "Exactly!" Yuerong sighed: "This man's martial arts has reached its peak. Master Kou should be more careful in the future."
Guan Canghai also said: "The martial arts of the Western Regions are very different from the martial arts of the Central Plains. I am afraid that this person will cause a great disaster to our country in the future!"
Kou Zhun said: "You still can't take it lightly tonight." So he ordered Guan Canghai to send people to be more vigilant to prevent another accident...
