comeback [rebirth]

Duan Deye was one of the few who dared to breathe normally. He stepped out of the official ranks and saluted Emperor Ning in a regular manner.

"Your Majesty, this matter involves the Northern Army and Lord Duan. As Lord Duan's close relative, the old minister shouldn't speak nonsense at this time." Duan Deye said, "But since His Majesty asked, the old minister has the courage to say something."

Emperor Ning said: "But it's okay to say."

Duan Deye looked sideways, passed Cen Yuan and Yan Xuan standing in the center, and landed on Duan Meng on the other side.

"No matter what the truth is about the chaos in the northern army, Lord Duan, as the commander of the northern army, must bear the blame. Also, please don't show sympathy for the sake of veterans. Your majesty must be severely punished."

"It's a good one who doesn't show favoritism and kills relatives with righteousness." Emperor Ning was not annoyed, but snorted and laughed, "Duan Xiang has served Daning since the time of the first emperor, and he has been a good minister for more than [-] years. You can rest assured Duan Xiang , if it is finally found out that this matter has nothing to do with Duan Meng, I am not an unreasonable person, for your sake, a small punishment will be fine."

Duan Deye knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After saluting, he got up, returned to the official column, and swept past Cen Yuan beside him intentionally or unintentionally.The latter met his eyes suddenly, nodded at him without changing his face, and then turned his gaze back.

"Second brother, Yan Qing, step aside first." Emperor Ning returned his eyes to the hall, leaned back on the back of the chair, and spit out three words: "E Xian?"

Among the gangsters who were crushed in the hall, the one at the front seemed to be the leader of the Exian tribe. He kept his head up and his chest high, staring at the emperor seated with his eyes.

He spat: "Emperor Dog, you are not worthy—"

Before he could finish his words, he was knocked to the ground by the soldiers beside him, and blood spurted out of his mouth.

Emperor Ning looked down quietly: "Let him get up and talk close to the ground, he can't hear clearly."

Hearing this, the soldier immediately let go and pulled the man up.The latter stared at Emperor Ning fiercely, and suddenly sprayed all the contents in his mouth forward.In the blood, an unknown object suddenly flew forward for a certain distance and landed not far in front of the stairs.

The soldiers immediately drew their swords to his neck: "Presumptuous!"

And the object that fell on the ground was a fallen tooth.

Emperor Ning remained as still as a mountain, fixedly looking down, and said unhurriedly: "Back then, I clearly ordered to kill all Exian people, leaving no one alive."

The Exian people showed a contemptuous smile: "Four years ago, you killed my whole family and my homeland indiscriminately. At that time, a few of us happened to be out and escaped. Maybe it was destiny, let us Exian The clan has no descendants, give us the opportunity to avenge our hatred!"

Emperor Ning said: "Since you can stand here today and say 'there is no successor', it means that you still have a wife and children."

That person obviously rarely experienced such threats, his expression changed immediately, and he shouted: "No!"

The two words echoed in the hall for a while, and finally fell lightly—too powerless.Emperor Ning first issued an order: "Later, while those faces are still in their original form, make portraits and let me find them."

The man immediately realized why, and widened his eyes: "The dog emperor! How dare you!——"

"Find out all their wives and children," Emperor Ning ignored, "don't let any one go."

"Dog Emperor!"

The man suddenly struggled, regardless of the sword that was stuck at his throat, there were several wounds on his neck, and hot blood flowed out.In an instant, even the soldiers couldn't hold him down, he broke free from the shackles, snatched the soldiers' swords, and was about to rush to the high position.Seeing this, the rest of the ten or so people also tried to break free of control, and the hall erupted for a while, as if a pot of cold water had been poured into a frying pan.

"Escort! Escort!!"

Cen Yuan just moved, but before he stepped forward, another person hurried past him.

——I saw that Yan Xuan didn't even draw his sword, and his figure dodged the sword swung by the assassin, the movement was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch it with eyes.In the next second, he spun around, grabbed the man's sword-holding wrist with one hand, and at the same time tapped the acupuncture point several times.The man's limbs immediately softened, as if the strings of the marionette's control were suddenly cut, and he crawled to the ground in a strange posture.

The soldiers from both sides stepped forward, and even Xu Peng did it himself, together with two or three others, they trampled the assassin under their feet.Yan Xuan successfully retreated, and didn't go overboard, and quickly returned to Cen Yuan's side, raising his hand to wipe off the blood on the palm of his hand.

From the beginning to the end, Emperor Ning sat quietly in a high position, not even moving a centimeter.He said: "It's extremely stupid to resist stubbornly."

The assassin struggled non-stop: "Let go! I'm going to kill this dog emperor!"

"Don't be in a hurry to find death, I still have a question." Emperor Ning calmly said, "Why did you kill the second child?"

"Kill it, kill it, what's the reason!"

"Since we specifically cleared away the guards, it was intentional." After finishing speaking, Emperor Ning suddenly got up and shouted, "Speak! Is someone instigated!"

All the ministers knelt on the ground one after another: "Your Majesty calm down—"

The assassin's cheek was crushed on the sole of the boot, and he couldn't even smile.He shouted at the top of his voice: "Who instigated it? No one instigated it! Four years ago you slaughtered hundreds of people from our family, today we will be charged with crimes and take your life!"

Emperor Ning didn't speak for a long time, his face sank like water, only his chest that couldn't hide his ups and downs reflected the turbulent waves behind the calmness.He said in a deep voice, "Drag on."

Duan Meng immediately waved his hand towards the outside of the palace door: "Hurry up, drag it down."

Over there, Emperor Ning didn't know whether he was in a daze or in a hurry, and shouted again: "I drag you all down!"

In an instant, those assassins understood that the matter had come to an end and there was no room for change.The leader's pupils constricted: "You lied to us!"

The person who detained him was Xu Peng: "Bold madman, you are still talking nonsense!"

"You are Xu Peng!" The man broke free with another hand and grabbed Xu Peng's arm suddenly, "It's the letter you left us! You said that we would assassinate that dog emperor, It turned out to be fart!"

"Death struggle has no meaning." Xu Peng only thought that he was making something out of nothing to drag others into the water, and turned to the subordinate next to him, "Don't dawdle, take it down."

Cen Yuan listened quietly from the sidelines the whole time, even when he mentioned taking his life just now, he was unmoved, but at this moment he suddenly cast a glance at the assassin, feeling pity in his heart.

Sometimes, it is the scariest and saddest thing to be caught in a chess game and be treated as a pawn without realizing it.

Jing Ke assassinated Qin, for his bravery and righteousness.However, this situation, at most, can only be called a farce of unilateral use.He didn't know whether the person behind the scenes was really Xu Peng as the Exian people said, or if someone else set the blame, but he could probably guess what kind of deal the person behind the scenes had with these Exian people.

But once he was caught, even if he was a member of the Northern Army, how could he get a chance to get close to the emperor under the eyes of everyone.

Cen Yuan lowered his head and sighed silently, but felt someone approaching behind him, he tilted his head slightly, and saw a corner of the dark green robe.

While the eyes of the people around were either staring at the ground, or following the poor people away, Yan Xuan took advantage of his body to cover his hand, and suddenly and quietly held his hand.

Cen Yuan curled his five fingers reflexively, and before the opponent retracted his hand, he clenched it tightly for a moment.

After a while, the shouts and struggles gradually faded away, completely inaudible, but the residual sound seemed to stay in the same place, rumbling.

However, at this moment, someone exclaimed: "Your Majesty!"
