Chapter 520 Forced Into the Palace
The voice in the room was not very loud, and seemed to have a little bit of disdain, but it was clearly audible, and it was majestic and domineering, just like a high-ranking person overlooking an ant at his feet.
Both Liu Wanrou and Liang Yan were attracted by the sound. They squatted on the roof, uncovered a piece of rubble, and looked into the room at the same time.
I saw a total of five people in the study room.
On a dragon chair in the middle, there is an old man wearing a purple and gold dragon robe, half lying down.
In front of the old man, there was an eunuch in gray clothes, sitting cross-legged at the moment, with green smoke curling above his head, as if he was performing some kind of exercise.
At the other end of the study, near the door, stood three middle-aged men.
The man in front of him was about thirty years old, with tiger eyes and beard, and a handsome appearance. However, there was a trace of obvious fear in his eyes when he looked at the old man at this moment.
As for the two people behind him, one of them stood tall with a long sword in his arms, and his mouth was covered with calluses. He was obviously a master of swordsmanship.
The other person wore a mask and was short in stature, but his fingernails were extremely long and dark purple in color. He was obviously a master of poison.
Looking at the old man on the dragon chair, he is over sixty years old, with gray and white hair on his temples, chapped skin on his face, and even a trace of whiteness at the corners of his mouth. He looks like he is not going to die soon.
But although this person has all the above characteristics, he does not look like a sick cat. On the contrary, any ordinary person who takes a look at him will think that this is a fierce tiger entrenched here.
"It's Father!"
Liu Wanrou's voice was low and urgent, and Liang Yan felt her tenderness tightening in his hand.
"We're already here, it'll be fine." Liang Yan squeezed her little hand and replied softly.
"Um"
Liu Wanrou nodded and looked into the room again.
At this time, the old man in the dragon robe coughed a few times and said a little sarcastically: "Lao Liu, I have watched you grow up. You have not had much courage since you were a child. After all, you are not expected to achieve great things."
The middle-aged man with tiger eyes and beard at the door of the study said sternly: "Father, you don't have to say this! I have made great achievements in the army in the past few years, but you have been blind and have not seen it. When it comes to the qualifications to be an emperor, brothers Who among the sisters can be better than me, Liu He?"
The old man in the dragon robe just shook his head. There was no anger on his face. Instead, there was a trace of pity in his eyes: "Silly boy, you can only show your bravery for a moment. When it comes to conspiracy and calculation, you are far worse than those brothers of yours." Yes. You are being used as a swordsman tonight, don’t you know it?"
Liu He yelled: "What nonsense! You don't have to use this kind of alienation method. If you were in good health a few years earlier, you wouldn't have dared to make trouble even if you borrowed the courage of your children. But now you are not going to die soon. For my sake, I will go all out." Jiangshan Sheji, please hand over this dragon throne!"
Although Liu He's voice was loud, there was a twinkle in his eyes, showing that he lacked confidence. Hearing this, the old man in the dragon robe laughed and said: "What a good old man, you have grown up. Your father's destiny is here, and your father's jade seal is also here." Here, if you have the ability, just come up and get it yourself.”
"you!"
Liu He looked at the nonchalant look of the old man in dragon robe, and his face became even more angry. He even trembled when he spoke: "Don't force me!"
"What? Now that things have happened, you don't dare anymore?" The old man in dragon robe said with a gentle smile.
"Hmph, I don't know what you have to rely on now! Eunuch Chen, who is always with you, is poisoned on the ground. Without my antidote, it can't be resolved. The three armies of the imperial palace are leaderless, and the tiger is led by the eldest brother. You are alone. I have been ill in the palace for a long time, and now I am alone, how can I resist the Fifth Brother's Tianlong Army?"
Liu He said with an angry look on his face: "If you know who I am, write an edict to pass the throne to me now, and then hand over all the jade seals and military talismans. When I ascend to the throne, I will ensure that you die in peace. If you persist in your stubbornness, When Fifth Brother’s Tianlong Army arrives, I’m afraid he will die miserably under the sword!”
After hearing this, the old man in the dragon robe suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "Old Six, Old Six, I did read it right, it's you! You are greedy but short-sighted. You want to be one step ahead of Old Five, let me write I issued an edict, but never thought that my self-righteous little cleverness was all part of someone else's scheme?"
The old man's smile touched his heart, and in the middle of his words, he coughed violently:
"Ahem. Lao Liu, I advise you to stop fighting. If you can't compete with these people, you won't even have a bone left in the end."
After hearing what he said, Liu He's face turned livid, and he suddenly shouted madly: "You have looked down on me since you were a child! How can I not compare to them? Why don't you take another look at me?"
His eyes were red, and he suddenly shouted sharply at the two people behind him: "Come on! Kill this old eunuch for me, and take the jade seal and military talisman from that old guy!"
After hearing this, the two people behind Liu He moved forward at the same time.
The person on the left stabbed forward with a sword, and the person on the right waved a pair of poisonous claws and also grabbed the old eunuch on the top of his head.
The old eunuch in front of the old man in the dragon robe was sitting cross-legged on the ground with green smoke above his head. He remained indifferent to the attacks of the two men and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.
But the moment the two men rushed in front of him, the old eunuch suddenly opened his mouth, spit out a blood arrow from his mouth, and ran towards the man holding the sword closest to him.
The man holding the sword reacted quickly and hurriedly lowered the sword, trying to chop off the blood arrow with his sword.
However, the power of the blood arrow was beyond imagination. It actually stabbed a hole in the man's sword and shot towards his neck.
In the crisis, the man fell backwards and used an iron bridge move. His back was almost touching the ground, and he barely managed to avoid the fatal blow.
"Eunuch Chen" was already poisoned, and he relied on the internal strength of his body to hold on, and he was almost exhausted. He waited until the two of them were close before he launched an attack. He wanted to use his remaining inner strength to activate the bloody arrows in his mouth, and kill one of them first. Unexpectedly, the swordsman's reaction was also so fast, and he narrowly avoided him. This blow.
At this time, the other masked man who used poison had already rushed in front of Eunuch Chen, and clawed at his Tianling Gai with his five fingers.
"This old slave can be regarded as being completely loyal," Eunuch Chen sighed in his heart. Just as he was about to close his eyes and wait for death, he suddenly heard the sound of bones breaking.
He looked up and saw a scholar in Tsing Yi falling from the sky, stepping on the masked man's hands, bending his arms.
The scholar in green had a cold face. He raised his hand and caught the sword-wielding man's long sword in his hand. Then with a flash of sword light, two heads fell to the ground!
