"Right," the Xuan Shuang said, "I will definitely trust you!" Picking up the teacup on the table, he giggled and said, "Today Xiaodi will use tea in place of wine to toast you. I wish our cooperation a success. "" Alright, "the Shangguan Yaohua said," Cheers. "The two of them raised their cups and drank the wine.
The Xuan Shuang warned them repeatedly, "Every time Prince Fu makes a move, we must make a rough plan first. You are eloquent, you don't need me to teach you what to say in front of him. But remember, you must be absolutely cautious. " Just as they were about to discuss the details, suddenly they heard a clamor outside the door, it sounded like a large number of people had broken into the Palace. They did not know what they were doing, but immediately afterwards they heard Prince Fu's angry curses, which made the atmosphere even more chaotic.
The Xuan Shuang and the Shangguan Yaohua quickly looked at each other, their countenance changed, as if by prior agreement they had the same thought: Prince Fu had already seen through their conspiracy, and had just called a group of people to help him, with the intention of catching the two of them in one net. But first, their martial art skill was meager, second, two fists would find it difficult to fight four hands; how could they fight against a group of men who were rubbing their fists and rubbing their palms, whose voices were filled with righteous indignation?
In comparison, although the Shangguan Yaohua was experienced and knowledgeable, when it came to adapting to the situation, other than surrendering in time, he did not have any other expertise. But this time this trick was useless. He had just betrayed Prince Fu, no matter how he begged for mercy, it would be difficult to convince him. In the past he was able to toy with Lu Qian in the palm of his hand, but that was because Lu Qian had never really cared about him.
The Xuan Shuang was the first to calm down. "Let's go out and take a look," he said. The Shangguan Yaohua thought that he was even more cowardly than he was, that he was so scared that he became muddle-headed and wanted to walk right into the trap. Although he mocked him inwardly, he still kindly reminded him, "That won't do, we'd better hide inside the room. Later on, even if he breaks in, we can make some preparations first, and then we will have some sovereignty over the enemy."
Xuan Shuang said, "Think about it carefully. If he suddenly heard a strange sound, as a normal person, his first reaction would be to go and see what's going on out of curiosity. If you hide, when the Prince Fu comes in and turns the tables on you, how are you going to explain yourself? If we don't feel guilty, we should go out on our own to broaden our horizons. Then, we can pretend to be ignorant and ask a few questions to turn passive into active. I don't believe that Prince Fu would dare to lower his face and do something stupid to me in his palace. His military strength is not complete yet, so he doesn't dare to rebel immediately. "
The Shangguan Yaohua was still hesitant. "What if he's intentionally baiting us? What should we do?"
Xuan Shuang said, "If that's the case, then it's all the same. But if you stay in your room and let them catch you like a turtle in a jar, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing? Listen to me. Don't worry, nothing will happen. You know how eloquent I am. Even if my words are off the mark, I have a way to make it right. Let's go. " Finished speaking, he did not give him any chance to hesitate. Pulling him, he pushed the door open and went out. With a surprised and terrified expression, he called out, "Wangye, what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy? "
Prince Fu knitted his brows and looked back. "Why did the two of you come out?" He asked, "Lord Baylor, have you finished your homework?" Although he was trying his best to remain calm, it was not difficult to see from his dark and gloomy face that he was furious just now.
"Oh," the Xuan Shuang replied, "It's about time. But when I heard the commotion, my heart was flustered, so I came out to take a look. " Looking around, he saw a group of people in ragged clothes standing next to Imperial Prince Fu. They were carrying a few stretchers, and the servants of the Imperial Prince Fu's mansion were also gathered here. These people had always been scattered around the Mansion as guards. If there was no special matter, they would not gather in the same place.
The stretchers were rather crowded, with dark figures lying on them. From the outside, they vaguely looked like human figures. Several of them were squeezed together on one stretcher, as if they were going to roll down at any moment. These 'human figures' were very stiff; following the bumpy movement of the stretcher, they swayed back and forth, as if they did not have any bones.
"Ah?" the Xuan Shuang asked in surprise. "What is that?" Prince Fu shouted, "Don't look …" But he was too late to stop him. The Xuan Shuang's movement was very fast; without waiting for him to finish his sentence, he had leaped forward several times and arrived in front of the stretchers.
As soon as he saw them, he immediately regretted it. Turned out those 'human figures' were actually corpses, their bodies were soaked in blood, the red color deepened into black. He did not know how much torture they had suffered before they died, but he accidentally pressed on their forearm, which was soft and limp, without any strength at all. Presumably all the bones in their bodies were shattered. He himself had the experience of having his ankle fractured, and now that he thought about it, he still remembered that kind of heart-piercing pain. It was really hard to imagine how miserable it would be if their entire body was shattered.
These people's eyes were wide open, their mouths were biting on something, the flesh was badly mangled, and he could not see clearly what it was. Suppressing his palpitations, he gently touched it with his fingertip. He felt that it was soft to the touch, and as soon as he touched it, that thing seemed to tremble slightly. At the same time, his fingertip was stained with some sticky liquid. Amidst the smell of blood, there was another kind of strange smell, which made people want to vomit.
Then he saw that there was a big hole in that person's chest, dripping with blood. It was almost impossible to see clearly, but he could barely make out that there was nothing inside the chest. After a moment of hesitation, he raised his eyes and happened to see that thing. A thought flashed through his mind: perhaps that thing was that person's heart.
He thought about how he had stared at it for a long time, and then stretched out his hand to touch it, and felt that it was still alive. The smell on his hand suddenly entered his nostrils. Immediately his stomach churned, he had never felt so disgusted. Unexpectedly he lost control in front of everybody. "Wah!" he bent down and vomited.
This time he vomited for a very long time, even the bitter bile was nearly emptied, but he was still retching. At first he thought that when he was at the Snow Song Palace he had seen Liang Yue, who was tortured to the point of dying, that was already scary enough. But this time he felt that compared to these corpses, that was just an appetizer.
Shangguan Yaohua was relatively far away, so he was not as shocked as Xuan Shuang, but his heart was also very tight, as if his own heart was also dug out. In a low voice he asked, "Yifu … this … what is going on?" Originally he was extremely afraid of Prince Fu, but now he was sticking close to him. He felt that no matter how scary this person was, he was not even half as scary as these corpses.
Xuan Shuang finally felt better after vomiting. He stood up and said, "Just think about it, other than the Seven Malevolent Demons, who else could be this cruel? This must be his doing? "
Prince Fu said in a heavy voice, "That's right. Ever since the Seven Malevolent Demons broke into the Palace last time, he has become even more vicious. For the past few months, he has committed many serious murders in various places. Some small cities were massacred by him overnight, not even chickens or dogs were spared. I heard that kind of hell on earth scene is even more miserable than a city captured by the enemy during the chaos of war. In order to capture him, we have dispatched elite soldiers and strong generals, but recently … the corpses have been ruined like this, and then they are carried to the Palace's gate. This time, I can't even count how many batches of corpses there are. "
Xuan Shuang angrily said, "This scoundrel is crazy! What is he actually thinking? "Prince Fu said," Not only is he crazy, his intention is extremely sinister. Look at these people, what kind of clothes are they wearing? " Xuan Shuang looked carefully, the clothes were completely soaked with blood, but he could not see anything unusual. "Aren't they just ordinary clothes?" He asked, "Don't tell me that the Seven Malevolent Demons are so kind that before killing these people, he specially bought some high-quality clothes for them to change into?"
Prince Fu shook his head and said, "Look carefully, don't just look at the whole thing." Xuan Shuang was really unwilling to go closer to the corpses, he looked from a distance and said, "There seems to be some kind of pattern on the clothes? I can't see it clearly, so I can't be sure. "
Prince Fu said, "You are right. These patterns are embroidered in the shape of a dragon. "Shangguan Yaohua was also shocked," Since ancient times, only the real dragon, the Son of Heaven, is qualified to wear the dragon robe. This … this metaphor is really … really disgraceful and heresy. "
With a cold laugh Prince Fu said, "Are you going to talk about disgraceful and heresy with the Seven Malevolent Demons? What he means is that this is only a lesson. In the future, he wants to call the Emperor, and also … also become like this. "While saying that, he closed his eyes tightly, with an extremely painful expression on his face.
Xuan Shuang angrily said, "That damn demon, in the past we let him go, but he still doesn't know how to restrain himself? He dares to provoke the Imperial Family again and again, he bullies people intolerably! "
Prince Fu said, "Isn't it the same? This person is deranged, he wholeheartedly wants to become a demon and overturn the world. It is said that he once threatened that with his power, even if he wanted to destroy the entire human world, it would be as easy as lifting a finger. If we voluntarily surrender and acknowledge him as the King, when the doomsday arrives, we might be able to preserve our lives. 'Struggle at death', those were his original words. Even to a surrendered general, it is still an insult. "He opened his eyes and sighed, saying," I only hate that in our Great Qing, there is no one who can contend against him! "
Xuan Shuang's blood boiled, he said, "Who said there is no one? I must kill him with my own hands, otherwise … otherwise I swear I am not a human! "Finished speaking, he turned around and ran away like a wisp of smoke. Shangguan Yaohua called out, "Ling … Lord Baylor Ling!" In his mind he remembered the 'last resort' that he mentioned, he felt a burst of fear, he only wanted to rush forward and stop him, he absolutely could not do something like digging his own grave.
Prince Fu raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Let him go. Yao Hua, don't pursue him." Shangguan Yaohua anxiously said, "But … but Yifu …" He was still hesitating whether he should tell him the truth or not, but Prince Fu impatiently said, "What 'but' is there? Little children are not sensible, they will make a fuss and it will be over. Don't tell me you are also as unreasonable as them? Stay here and help me deal with these corpses. "His tone was resolute and decisive, he did not allow anyone to question him.
Shangguan Yaohua still wanted to explain the severity of the matter, he said, "Yifu, that 'Seven Demons Head' is a madman, he will even kill little children …" Prince Fu said, "So what? Look at these people … "He raised his hand and pointed to the corpses, saying," These are all high-ranking generals of the imperial court, their martial arts are ten times better than yours, but in the end didn't they die in such a cowardly manner? If that demon head really wanted to kill you, would you be able to stop him? At most you would have to pay with your life. "Shangguan Yaohua hesitated," But … I can't just ignore him … "
Prince Fu laughed coldly, "What, what benefit did the Lord Baylor Ling give you that you want to live and die with him? Or have you also learned the worthless' yi qi is the most important thing 'of the Jianghu people? Tell me, if he dies, will you be willing to be buried with him? "Shangguan Yaohua did not think too much this time, he shook his head and said," I won't. As his brother, I can give him a proper burial, but I won't accompany him to his death. If he dies, he dies, I have to live well. "Prince Fu said," Isn't that it? "
Shangguan Yaohua said, "But … Yifu has told Child that you have the intention of cooperating with the Lord Baylor Ling, if he dies without knowing anything …" Prince Fu said, "I will cooperate with him while he is still alive! If he dies, he won't be a threat to me anymore, that's fine too. " Shangguan Yaohua clenched his teeth and said, "Yifu, may Child be so bold as to say that there is nothing to do with these corpses, just bury them on the spot. Naturally Yifu won't have to do this kind of heavy work yourself, you can just find some servants to do it. "
Prince Fu said, "What do you know? In the past, the corpses were always sent to the Imperial Palace, but this time they deliberately brought them to our Palace … think about it, what is their intention? "Shangguan Yaohua said," In Child's opinion, it is clear that they are framing us. Furthermore, it cannot be any more obvious. His Majesty is very observant, there is no way he will not see through this little trick. Besides, there was a precedent of sending the corpses to the Imperial Palace, from the way it was done, it must be done by the same person. The people in the Palace will not suspect our Palace. "
