Chapter 528 Shi Dakai's Heart Knot

In a side courtyard on the west side of Tianwang Palace, Yang Xiuqing and Shi Dakai sat facing each other.

This side courtyard is usually the place where the ministers of the kingdom of heaven work, but now it is quiet, except for Shi Yang, there is no one around.

The Heavenly King died suddenly, and the entire Heavenly King's Palace was in an atmosphere of panic. The maids and eunuchs, looking at the prepared salute, were at a loss.

If it weren't for these two still sitting in charge, the entire Tianjing City would have been in chaos long ago.

Upon hearing the news of the sudden death of the Heavenly King, Shi Dakai immediately arranged for the army to take to the streets, and once again enforced control over the city of Tianjing to stop any harassment.

It stands to reason that Shi Dakai, who holds military power, can directly seize power and rise to power.

It's a pity that with Shi Dakai's disposition, he can't do such a thing. In fact, Shi Dakai had no intention of inheriting Hong Xiuquan's career at all.

The cause of the kingdom of heaven, in the eyes of Shi Dakai now, is simply a dream.

But now, Meng has woken up, but Shi Dakai is even more confused, like a life that is running fast all the way, suddenly without direction and pursuit.

"My dear brother, you also know about the kingdom of heaven in history, right?"

Yang Xiuqing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked calmly.

"good!"

"So in your opinion, can the cause of the kingdom of heaven be realized in this wild and chaotic world?"

"..."

Shi Dakai was speechless, even the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan might not believe it.

"In this chaotic world, there is only the hero, who holds a sharp sword, overcomes thorns and thorns, and conquers all directions, creating a truly peaceful and prosperous world for these hundreds of millions of creatures." Speaking of this, Yang Xiuqing's eyes flashed with excitement.

"The hero?" Shi Dakai heard the words, his eyes were fixed, and his expression changed for the first time, "Is it you?"

"No." Yang Xiuqing shook her head, said with a wry smile, "I ask myself, I don't have the ability yet."

"Who is that?"

Shi Dakai was puzzled, he originally thought that Yang Xiuqing called him here to persuade him to withdraw from the competition.

"Let me ask, who else is more suitable than that one in today's southwest region?" Yang Xiuqing smiled slightly, and slowly revealed her trump card.

"It's him?"

Shi Dakai was startled and almost jumped up against the crime.

"Yes, it's him!"

Yang Xiuqing stared into Shi Dakai's eyes and said firmly.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."

When Yang Xiuqing heard this, she also had complicated emotions. He is very clear about the unfinished meaning in Shi Dakai's words.

"So, you already have a different heart?"

Shi Dakai restrained his emotions, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. Suddenly, a surge of murderous aura burst out from Shi Dakai's body, making it impossible to stare at.

This is a ferocious tiger, usually docile, and only in times of crisis will it show its ferocious minions. Even Yang Xiuqing, who had experienced many battles, couldn't help but feel astonished.

Shi Dakai, a tiger general in the world, really lived up to his reputation.

Yang Xiuqing knew very well that if he didn't answer well, he might be bloody for five steps. Fortunately, Yang Xiuqing was not Yi Yi's generation, the teacup in his hand did not move at all, without a single ripple.

"No!" Yang Xiuqing shook her head and said desolately: "When the army was defeated, the other party did have contact with me. It's just that I didn't make up my mind at that time. I didn't have to do it until the king of heaven wanted to get rid of me. "

Yang Xiuqing's words were half true and half false, so Shi Dakai couldn't find a single flaw. Thinking of the secret conversation between the Heavenly King and him yesterday afternoon, Shi Dakai also let out a long sigh.

"Good fortune tricks people!"

The kingdom of heaven has come to this point, and it is impossible to tell who is right.

"So, the sudden death of the Heavenly King is also related to you?"

The murderous look in Shi Dakai's eyes did not restrain himself, and he asked the most critical question.

Discovering the sudden death of Tian Wang, the forensic doctor rushed to the scene to examine the body immediately. After some investigation, it is only known that the king of heaven and concubine Chen died of an unknown strange poison, and nothing else is known.

At the last moment of her life, Concubine Chen put the fragments of the wax pellets back into the cavity of the "denture", and then put the teeth back in place. The only trace now disappeared naturally.

Therefore, the only conclusion is that the king of heaven was assassinated and died.

However, according to the guards of Tianwang Palace, no suspicious person was found that night.

The whole case became an unsolved case.

Of course, some people suspected that the guard deliberately shied away in order to avoid punishment.

In any case, it is impossible to find out the truth in a short time. And in the current crisis in the kingdom of heaven, how can anyone have the thought to pay attention to the truth behind this unsolved case.

To be honest, Yang Xiuqing was also unprepared for the sudden death of the Heavenly King.

This operation was completely planned and completed by the Black Snake Guard.

"not me."

Yang Xiuqing didn't know how to answer, so she could only say these three words firmly.

"Humph!"

Shi Dakai was thoughtful, but still couldn't calm down.

Although it is said that Shi Dakai may not have much affection for the king of heaven; but it is impossible not to be moved by the forgiveness and trust of the king of heaven towards him yesterday.

Therefore, if possible, Shi Dakai would naturally avenge the king of heaven.

It's a pity that he is now powerless. Because there is a huge shadow covering the sky of Tianjing City at this moment, making people suffocated.

Yang Xiuqing was well aware of Shi Dakai's weakness, and said quietly: "My dear brother, for the sake of the people of the kingdom of heaven, please don't do anything stupid."

When Shi Dakai heard this, his expression became more and more complicated.

"Is it worth dragging the people of the whole city to be buried with you in order to avenge the king of heaven?"

Shi Dakai had to face such a choice.

Silence, dead silence again.

The last two pillars of the kingdom of heaven sat silently facing each other, their moods fluctuating.

Compared to Shi Dakai, Yang Xiuqing was much calmer. He was confident that he would not misjudge anyone. Once a person's conduct is completely seen through by his opponent, he is defeated without a fight.

Sure enough, Shi Dakai sighed for the last time, slowly took off the soldier talisman at his waist, put it on the stone table in front of him, and said bitterly: "I still hope that you will let them live."

The "they" that Shi Dakai said were naturally his supporters.

Seeing this, Yang Xiuqing was very surprised, waved his hands, and said, "You don't have to be like this. As long as you and I reach a consensus, it's the same in whoever holds the military power."

"No." Shi Dakai shook his head, "I'm already disheartened and have no intention of going to court."

"Your brother is in the prime of life, and it is a good time to make contributions. Why is it so unbearable?"

Seeing this, Yang Xiuqing frowned, and there was a hint of anger in her words. He did this not only because he really regretted Shi Dakai's self-defeating, but also because he had a task ahead of him.

The lord behind the scenes, but named to keep Shi Dakai.

"So be it!"

Shi Dakai had no intention of defending himself, so he got up and left.

"Wait!"

Yang Xiuqing stood up, "May I ask, brother, is there any definite destination?"

"In the vast wilderness, where can't I live?!"

Shi Dakai didn't turn around, his voice was full of exhaustion. He was really tired and wanted to take a good rest.

"Since my virtuous brother has no clear whereabouts, why not go to the Army Lecture Hall in Shanhai City?" Yang Xiuqing said sincerely, "You and I both came from poor backgrounds. The principal of the Army Lecture Hall is a soldier. Saint Sun Wu. My brother will gain something if he goes here. You can stay away from court disputes and increase your military knowledge. Why not do it? It’s better than wandering aimlessly in the wilderness, right?”

When Shi Dakai heard the words, he paused for a moment, left without saying anything.

Looking at Shi Dakai's back, Yang Xiuqing sighed.

What he can do, he has done.

Even if the prince reprimanded him, he had nothing to say.

***********

The turmoil in Tianjing City ended quickly after the two giants reached an agreement.

Yang Xiuqing held a military talisman, and with the support of his cronies and direct descendants, he successfully controlled the army in the city. Anyway, Yang Xiuqing's prestige in the army is still extremely high.

Coupled with the instigation of the Military Intelligence Department, it will happen naturally.

Above the court, seeing Yang Xiuqing gaining power, the ministers who originally supported Shi Dakai were all panicked. Fortunately, Yang Xiuqing kept his promise and only put them under house arrest, but did not really kill them.

As for Shi Dakai, he just disappeared.

After taking power, Yang Xiuqing did not ascend the throne as the king as the outside world had speculated. The first order he issued was to announce the official disintegration of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and return to Shanhai City.

As soon as the news came out, the kingdom of heaven was in an uproar.

Some diehard congregants were dissatisfied with Yang Xiuqing's decision and took to the streets to protest.

Yang Xiuqing's attitude was extremely tough, using iron and blood methods to forcibly suppress it. He knew very well that since he decided to take refuge in Shanhai City, he could no longer take any chances in his heart.

Clearing away all obstacles for the prince to take over Tianjing City is his most important task right now.

...

The news of Hong Xiuquan's sudden death, Yang Xiuqing's rise to power, and the surrender of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was like a hurricane, blowing across the southern Sichuan province and across the entire wilderness.

All of a sudden, the world was shaken.

The players all knew in their hearts that it was only a matter of time before Shanhai City wiped out the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom. What shocked them was how quickly and how skillfully it would happen.

People can't help but sigh with emotion, how many cards are still in Lianzhouhou's hands? !

At the same time, with the surrender of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a reality that shocked the world was placed in front of all players in China.

The lord of Shanhai City, Marquis of Lianzhou, Qi Yue Wuyi, officially occupies the land of a province.

When more than 90% of the lords have not been promoted to the county city, the vast territory of Shanhai City is really unmatched.

Only a king can have such a majestic appearance.

The world was shocked, and a generation of heroes officially revealed their ferocity.

In a short period of time in China, there is absolutely no one who can rival Lianzhouhou.

Affected by this, the [Shanhai League] once again gained momentum, even more so than before. [Yanhuang League] The prestige accumulated with great difficulty fell to the bottom in an instant.

The entire southwest region seems to be shrouded in the shadow of Qi Yue Wu Yi.

The Southern Border Protectorate is becoming more and more worthy of its name.
