Chapter 992 What Horse Are You Riding?

"No problem, we will start to arrange it now." The rickety old man agreed.

Spying on news is what they are good at, and the snakes and rats in Dazan Zhuangzi are one of their eyes.

The old Qingtang King nodded, and when he was about to leave here and return to the side hall, he suddenly remembered something, stopped and said: "I remember that the clay head of the ghost king of Yan Luo seemed to be sent to the mansion by Batu. Are you from here?"

"That's right, it's him."

When the old Qingtang king received Batu, the rickety old man hid in the dark to guard, so he naturally knew about it.

"It seems that the youngest has not been idle for the past few days when he returned to Wangcheng. He even bribed the commander of the patrolling battalion. I don't know how many other nobles and generals have been bribed by him... It is really a good method Ah, as expected of my seed."

The old Qingtang King grinned.

It's just that this smile looks very weird and gloomy, making it difficult to see whether he is really happy or angry.

"It's good for the third brother to buy more people now. When I take his body, those people he bought will become my supporters. But this person, Batu, must never be kept. He is a Commander of the Patrol Battalion, the position is very special, and I also need to scare the chickens and monkeys, scare those who have been bribed by the third child, tell them to be honest, and don't make trouble at the critical moment before I get a new life! The most important thing now is to ensure that I If you can successfully seize the house, you can’t make any mistakes.”

"Shall we kill him?" The rickety old man volunteered.

"No." After pondering for a while, the old Qingtang King shook his head and said, "You don't need to do anything, let those people sitting in the side hall kill him. I want to take this opportunity to see who else is among them, It's double-minded."

The rickety old man didn't say much, he cupped his hands, and slowly retreated to the dark place in the corner of the house, and quickly merged with it.

So, when the old Qingtang king returned to the side hall, he was alone.

The people in the side hall, except Qin Shaoyou, were all a little surprised.

But the old Qingtang king didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask, so they could only bury this question in their hearts.

Just at this time, a servant reported that Batu, the commander of the Northern Patrol Battalion, had arrived.

It stands to reason that in the Sifang patrolling camp, the yamen of the northern patrolling camp is the closest to Beicheng District.

But now, the commanders of the patrol battalions from the south, east and west were all sitting in the side hall, and Batu was late in arriving.

With the old Qingtang King's suspicious character, it would be strange not to have any guesses about him.

However, the old King Qingtang didn't show any dissatisfaction, he just asked his servants to bring Batu over.

Before Batu entered the mansion, he saw the soldiers of the other three patrol battalions, who had already completed the defense around the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Knowing that he was the latest to come, so as soon as he stepped into the side hall, he prostrated himself on the ground and shouted guilty.

"Your Majesty, I am too late to save you, it is a death sentence..."

The old Qingtang King looked at him with squinted eyes, and asked coldly, "Why are you late?"

When Batu was questioned by this question, he broke out in a cold sweat. He dared not raise his head. He touched his forehead to the ground and replied in a trembling voice: "When I received the news of the attack on the palace, I hurried over, but I met someone on the way. The interference of several waves of ghosts hitting the wall hindered the speed..."

The old Qingtang King was suspicious of him at first, but now seeing his trembling appearance, his suspicion became stronger, he suddenly opened his mouth, interrupted Batu's defense, and asked, "What horse are you riding?"

"what?"

Batu was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't think that the 'Seventh Prince' would care about what horse he was riding at such a time.

Although he couldn't figure out why, he didn't dare to reveal it, so he could only say hesitantly, "It's... just an ordinary war horse in the army."

The old Qingtang King lowered his face, and shouted sharply: "Ask all the generals and commanders here, which one is not riding a good horse and BMW? You ride an ordinary war horse, no wonder you can't break through ghosts and walls, no wonder you are the latest! If you ride an ordinary war horse, you are not qualified to be the commander of this patrol battalion! Come here, strip me of his official robe, and cut off his head!"

Batu was dumbfounded.

I ride an ordinary war horse, shouldn't you praise me for my incorruptibility, and my unity between officers and soldiers? Why do you still want to kill my head? Strip off my official robe?

Not only him, but in the side hall, other than Qin Shaoyou, the city guards, generals and commanders of the patrol battalion were all stunned. They couldn't understand why the "Seventh Prince", who had always been gentle before, suddenly had to ride something Ma Er violently murdered?

Only Qin Shaoyou understood that riding a horse was just an excuse.

Even if there were no war horses, the old Qingtang King would have stepped into the side hall first because of Batu's left foot, and ordered someone to kill him.

After all, the old Qingtang King had already decided that Batu was bought by Haibru, and he wanted to make an example of others. He used Batu's death to deter Haibru and his group so that they would not dare to mess around for the time being.

So if he was killed at night, Batu would definitely die.

Although he knew the old Qingtang King's intentions, Qin Shaoyou did not act rashly.

Like the other generals and commanders in the side hall, he showed surprise on his face, as if he didn't understand why the 'seventh prince' would issue such an order.

"Batu colluded with the demons and caused the evil spirits to riot in the palace! Why are you waiting for me if you don't take him down quickly?"

As the old Qingtang King shouted again, Qin Shaoyou's expression suddenly changed, and he flew up from his chair and rushed towards Batu.

When they entered the mansion, their weapons were all taken away. Although Qin Shaoyou still hid a lot of weapons and equipment that had not been found, it was impossible for him to use them at this time. A qi blade attacked Batu who was kneeling on the ground.

At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Batu, I didn't expect you to collude with demons and try to murder the king. Today I will clean up the patrol camp and kill you, a traitor!"

At this moment, Batu was still in shock, and question marks appeared in his head one after another: Am I colluding with demons? I want to murder the Seventh Prince? Why don't I know these things myself?

He also didn't expect that someone would actually attack him.

Batu, who was not aware of it for a while, failed to dodge Qin Shaoyou's air blade and was cut in the back.

As the blood splashed out, Batu, who came back to his senses, immediately manipulated his muscles to close the wound to stop the bleeding.

Immediately afterwards, Batu turned around roaring, separated Qin Shaoyou's offensive, and kicked him away at the same time.

Of course, this is the result of Qin Shaoyou deliberately concealing his strength.

After all, the real leader of Dazan only has a sixth-rank cultivation base. Even if he has improved a bit recently, it is still very difficult for him to fight head-to-head against Batu, a fifth-rank martial artist.

"Your Majesty, I have never done these things."

Kicking Qin Shaoyou into the air, Batu turned around and roared angrily at the old Qingtang King like a madman.

However, this scene did not scare the old Qingtang King. He asked coldly: "Are you accusing me of slandering you? You should know what you have done yourself!"

At the same time, the old Qingtang King shouted at the other two patrol battalion commanders and several city guard generals: "What are you waiting for? Either kill him with me, or help him kill me, make a decision quickly!"

Hearing this, the other two patrolling battalion commanders and several generals of the city guards did not dare to hesitate any longer, and rushed towards Batu with all their blood.

Seeing this scene, Batu understood that he might have to confess here today.

He also became ruthless, gritted his teeth, and flew towards the old Qingtang king.

"Since you won't let me live, then die with me!"

Batu roared with a ferocious expression, as if he wanted to die with the old Qingtang king.

But he didn't really want to die together.

In Batu's eyes, the 'Seventh Prince' smelled strongly of medicine, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.

With such a short distance, Batu is confident that he can capture the 'Seventh Prince' and use him as a hostage to escape.

At that time, whether it is taking the 'seventh prince' to join the third prince, or killing the 'seventh prince' and going up the mountain to become a bandit, there are too many options for survival.
