The most unlucky crossing in history

On the night of January 29, the moon and the star river are shining, the wind is clear and the air is clear. It is the most refreshing day in these days when I come to Shendu. The birthday of King Pusa of Shendu is celebrated by the whole country. You can also hear the sound of silk and bamboo from other countries outside the city, and the joy, singing and congratulations of the people.

In the huge hall of the palace, King Pusa and Tan Yuanjin staggered toasts and cups, carefully visited hundreds of officials, and the envoys of the Great Qing Dynasty pushed cups and exchanged cups. Although King Pusa was over fifty, he did not look old, which should be due to his perennial battles on horseback. The burly figure looks very healthy.

Xie Wenyuan also changed his indifferent appearance at the Lord of Bakpur that day, and put on an impeccably warm smiling face, and drank wine with the official Shendu who toasted him.

On the throne, King Pusa, dressed in cumbersome Shendu costumes, laughed and praised Tan Yuanjin for being young and promising, "...I have long heard that the second prince of Dazhang is quick-witted. If my two sons are half as smart as the prince , I'm relieved."

After listening to Linghu Qing's translation, Tan Yuanjin waved his hands and shook his head again and again, saying, "Your Majesty is too famous. When the eldest prince Amer came to my birthday, I saw that the eldest prince is a dragon and a phoenix among men, with martial arts skills. Extraordinary is amazing, compared to Prince Amer," Tan Yuanjin shook his head and said with a smile: "My horsemanship, archery, and sword skills are really difficult to be elegant."

"I was still amazed at the beginning, but after seeing His Majesty a few days ago, I knew why Prince Amer is so outstanding," Tan Yuanjin looked at King Pusa again, and sighed: "There is such a man who is so talented and majestic." His father, Prince Amer was naturally born out of the ordinary."

King Pusa laughed loudly when he heard Bi Lang's sound. He was already strong, but his laughter sounded like a bell, and the whole hall echoed with heroic laughter.

Not long after, he picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said slowly: "When it comes to martial arts, I have some admiration for General Xie Cheng." He looked in Xie Wenyuan's direction, "The one over there The emissary is the eldest son of General Xie Cheng, that year when General Xie Cheng was an envoy to Shendu and I negotiated peace with Shendu, I met him in a group fight, I wonder if he has inherited General Xie's martial arts?"

Hearing the sound, Tan Yuanjin shook his head and smiled, "Master Xie is now the minister of our imperial court, a civil servant, and has never practiced martial arts for a long time."

King Pusa narrowed his eyes, and the cunning in his eyes was fleeting. He smiled and said, "Oh? It's a pity."

Tan Yuanjin smiled, and said something inappropriate: "It's a pity." At this point, he and King Pusa looked at each other, only to see the Bodhisattva King nodded slightly, and Tan Yuanjin smiled

Feeling a little deeper, he personally refilled the wine for King Pusa.

From the first emperor to the current Emperor Fengzheng, they all valued literature over martial arts. Except for the third prince who liked some martial arts when he was young, the few princes he raised were very similar to Emperor Fengzheng in looking down on military generals.

Xie Wenyuan was sitting not far from King Pusa, and he could still hear clearly what the two senior people said, but these were not important to him, so he picked up the silver chopsticks and tasted a few more. Meals on the table.

Zhang Hong, who had gone to nowhere before, knelt quietly behind him again.

Xie Wenyuan put down the silver chopsticks, picked up the wine glass on the table, and said slowly: "How?"

Zhang Hong didn't approach, bowed his head and whispered: "All the entrances and exits of the city are blocked, and the people of Prime Minister Wei have arrived at the watchtower..."

Xie Wenyuan didn't feel anxious after hearing this, he just smiled and exchanged respect with a cautious minister opposite, and then slowly drank the glass of wine.

He knew that Wei Hechao would choose Shendu, who was far away from Dazhu, to fight. Although he had already made some calculations in his heart, he really didn't expect that Wei Hechao would really join forces with Shendu, just to take his life.

Although Shendu and Dazhang are bordering each other, they are separated by a natural moat. For many years, the well water has never interfered with the river water, and there is little communication.Thinking about it now, Wei Hechao might have colluded with Shendu Kingdom long ago, that's why Prince Amer went on a mission that year, and King Pusa invited him.

On that day, he could not avoid sending an envoy, Wei Hechao must have deployed his troops here a few months before King Pusa's invitation, waiting for him to arrive here.

I don't know what benefits Wei Hechao gave him to King Pusa...

"What about our people?"

Zhang Hong said: "The ambush has been done according to the adults' request."

Xie Wenyuan put down the cup in his hand and said with a smile, "Very good."

Hearing this, Zhang Hong hesitated and said, "My lord, Gu Shouyi hasn't figured out how many people Prime Minister Wei sent..."

Xie Wenyuan waved his hand: "No problem."

Wei Hechao's dispatch is to prepare killers in advance, and there will not be too many. King Pusa is aggressive and ambitious. The character has been coveting Dazhu for as long as he has been, and he has been afraid of Dazhu for a long time. Naturally, it is impossible for Wei Hechao to send many killers to guard his gate and hang a big knife around his neck when he has not benefited?Dazhu people are full of tricks, and Pusa's ancestors have never experienced it. It is not easy for him to really trust a Dazhu official.

Thinking of this, Xie Wenyuan's eyes moved, and he said in a low voice: "Wuwei and the Zhang family have not moved yet?"

Zhang Hong point

"It seems that he really wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Xie Wenyuan smiled and said no more.

But half an hour later, Tan Yuanjin, who was sitting in the upper position, reminded King Pusa that the firework show prepared here in Dazhu was about to start. King Pusa was very interested after hearing this, and ordered to go to the farthest point of the palace to watch the tower.

I have never seen or heard such a sound that seems to be louder than thunder. The moment the fireworks exploded, the people outside the palace wall were frightened into a mess. Only when the sky burst into dazzling fireworks again and again did they gradually understand what happened. It was a gift brought by the Dazhu envoys to their respected King Pusa.

Those are the colorful flowers in the night sky, the colorful auspicious clouds given by the gods, and the colorful skirts raised by the beautiful dancers, shining like gold and gorgeous like gems.

Everyone inside and outside the hall was amazed by the fleeting flowers.

The watchtower is heavily guarded everywhere, and the best place to see is King Pusha, with his hands behind his back, looking at the exploding flowers in the sky. As the beautiful fireworks flicker, his smiling eyes are gradually filled with unconcealable yu see.Dazhu, what a beautiful place that is, what a beautiful country can create such peerless fireworks......

Seeing the eagerness in King Pusa's eyes, Xie Wenyuan lowered his eyes slightly to cover up the coldness in his eyes.

"Master Xie, what do you think of the fireworks made by the Pei family?"

When Tan Yuanjin's voice came from ahead, Xie Wenyuan looked over and said with a smile, "Of course it's extremely beautiful."

Tan Yuanjin smiled: "Since it's Maggi, Master Xie, let's take a closer look."

Just after he finished speaking, another firework exploded, and there was a huge impact sound from the gate of the South Palace closest to the Watchtower.

The sound was different from the sound of fireworks exploding. King Pusa, who was still watching the fireworks in the sky, looked there, and then shouted: "What's that sound? What happened?"

Although his voice was loud, there was no panic in his eyes.

A minister beside him who had never gone downstairs and had never communicated with others respectfully 'reported': "My lord, it was pirates who broke through the weakly guarded city gate and came in to kill people and steal money."

"Oh? It turned out to be a group of pirates who took the opportunity to rob. Our city tower is isolated here, and the target is so conspicuous and dangerous. We must protect the prince and envoys."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards raised their knives and surrounded him, trapping Xie Wenyuan, 20 of his subordinates, and several people who had made good friends with him from the Ministry of Rites in the encirclement.

Zhang Hong and the guards immediately drew their swords to defend.

Tan Yuanjin stood outside the encirclement, looking at the 'not yet' reacting to what happened.

Xie asked Yuan what was the matter, and he sneered: "Lord Xie, don't resist anymore, 20 people against hundreds, if your father Xie Cheng didn't have the ability to escape to heaven, let alone you? These 'sea bandits' kill without blinking an eye." , as the son of Xie's family, although you have never fought, you have heard a lot, so you should be the most clear."

After finishing speaking, he saw this Xie Shilang, who talked and pointed out the country in the court hall, and not only offended him once, his hands were trembling, his face was cold, and he was obviously shocked.

Tan Yuanjin burst out laughing, the more he looked at Xie Wenyuan's fear, sadness, and trembling, the better his mood became.

Xie Wenyuan looked at Tan Yuanjin who looked like this, took a deep breath, and asked in disbelief: "Your Highness the Second Prince is collaborating with a foreign country to take my life?"

Tan Yuanjin smiled and waved his hands, "Look at what Mr. Xie said, these are snake-hearted 'sea bandits' who took your life."

"The second prince is bound to open his eyes and talk nonsense?"

Seeing that Xie Wenyuan was exhausted, Tan Yuanjin didn't 'blame' him for such rude remarks, "Why did this king ever tell a lie? You can ask around, did you Xie Wenyuan die in the pirates? Under the chaotic knife?" He took another step closer, and said with a smile: "Oh, yes, thank you, don't worry, after you die, I will definitely report to the court, saying that you lost your life to protect me, I will give you a good name."

"Then I have to thank the second prince first?" Xie Wenyuan said: "I don't know if this murderous 'sea bandit' will kill you by 'wrong hand' after killing me."

As soon as these words came out, Tan Yuanjin frowned slightly, but after a while, he said in a low voice: "Master Xie, don't worry, I have already made complete preparations."

Xie Wenyuan laughed, "Wanquan? As the supreme royal family in Daqing, as a nobleman in Tianhuang, he actually colluded with foreign countries to murder courtiers. Has the second prince ever thought about what will happen in the future? Have you ever thought about the 'lesson from the past' of the third prince?" Think about it?"

Tan Yuanjin frowned slightly, but in the end he still looked at Xie Wenyuan, and said sarcastically, "Then Mr. Xie, did you ever think that your life would end in Shendu?"

Xie Wenyuan looked at Tan Yuanjin coldly, and said, "Never."

"咻, 咻——" the sound of piercing fear sounded, and the arrows shot from nowhere pierced the heads of the dozens of soldiers who were besieged, and the shocked bodies fell straight to the ground. In an instant, Zhang Hong and others More than [-] people responded and killed them.

At the same moment, the cold sword light flowed out from Xie Wenyuan's sleeve, but pointed directly at King Pusa who had been watching the show for a long time.

Pusa's expression upon seeing this

As soon as he froze, before the guards beside him had time to raise their knives to fight back, Jian Guang had already arrived in front of him.

After all, Pusa was experienced in many battles. Although the moment of stunned made him lose the opportunity, he was not too panic-stricken. He waved his hand and pulled the servant on one side to block Xie Wenyuan's rushing attack, and then drew his long hair from his waist. The knife blocked it.

However, he originally thought that Xie Wenyuan was not good at martial arts, and he just used this move in a wild way while being excited, but he didn't know that within half a moment of the struggle, the tiger's mouth that he was holding the saber was painful, and the person in front of him had precise sword skills and swung the sword. The strength is astonishing and the speed is so fast that even he can hardly catch it.

Those soldiers who rushed up regardless of life and death also instantly turned into the dead souls of his sword.

Pusa's heart was shocked, how could this be incompetent?Looking up, he saw the gloomy eyes of this tall and elegant young man, filled with a bloodthirsty coldness that he had never seen on the battlefield.

Daling's second prince, Tan Yuanjin, actually lied to him? !

It was also at this moment that he was stunned, he was not the opponent, and he was even more at a disadvantage. Before the soldiers rushed up, Xie Wenyuan cut his wrist muscles and bones with a sword. He held the sword against the neck of Pusa King.

No one had expected such an accident. Xie Wenyuan held King Pusa hostage, and the soldiers naturally did not dare to move an inch. If they were not careful, the blood-stained blade would take their king. life.

Xie Wenyuan looked at the stunned Tan Yuanjin coldly, and sneered, "As the second prince said, I did not expect to lose my life here," Xie Wenyuan raised his eyebrows as his black clothes were stained with blood. A smile: "Because, I know in my heart, I will not die here."

The night wind blew past Xie Wenyuan, and the bloody breath rushed to Tan Yuanjin's body, eyes, and nose, and he suddenly trembled.
