cold moon is king

Chu Jiangli took a deep breath, opened the letter in his hand, and his expression suddenly relaxed. Fortunately, he was surrounded by cronies who had followed him for many years. It is difficult for people to get into the banquet, so they can only listen to orders near the palace at any time.

But why did she poison the old king? Does she have the full confidence and such a big appetite to swallow such a country directly?Chu Jiangli frowned. Of course, there might be other letters that she hadn't seen, maybe her hand had reached into the palace.

Although Chu Jiangli's clothes are not decent, but the women here don't wear clothes as tightly wrapped as Daxia's, and the exposed parts of him will not make people eager to feast their eyes on them, but those who fall on his face He had a lot of eyes, but he also saw the woman beside him, and the heart that wanted to come over to talk to him still stopped.

That's the poisonous king, who knows if that woman will make something for you to swallow when you don't pay attention, even if they are not afraid of Nanye's status in front of the old king, but they still have other considerations, Gaomen Although big households love money, sex, and power, they still put their lives first.

Nanye had already noticed the gazes of these people and sneered. The powder from his fingernails flicked into the glass, which he placed on the dining table casually. After circling the wall of the cup, he hid behind people and drank it all in one gulp.

Lu Jinyin glanced at the person in the corner through the crowd, the pale waist exposed by that person made his throat tighten, he completely ignored the hand on his waist, and said He easily dealt with the prince's nonsense, but his eyes were busy.

"What are you looking at?" The eldest prince followed his gaze, but he moved away in time, and turned to the second prince in the corner.

Seeing the second prince who was cowering and eating behind the man, the eldest prince frowned, and swept up and down in contempt, "Trash."

"It's just such a thing, worthy of fighting with me?" He smiled slightly with a look of contempt on his face.

Lu Jinyin turned his body slightly to avoid the hand on his waist. He was sure that tonight would be an unstable night, and the eldest prince had already made preparations, otherwise he would not have said such words Such presumptuousness, even if the second prince can't do it, there are forces behind him to support him.

The agreement between the second prince and them was even more win-win. After the second prince came to power, there might be chaos in the country for a while. The ambition of the person next to the second prince was too exposed. It was a good thing for them to stop this fierce battle with Daxia.

The eldest prince remembered that he had been busy arranging those messy things recently, and had neglected the beauty for a long time. Now facing the cold face of the beauty, he could still let go of his arrogance and coax her.

"Because the situation in Louma is changing rapidly, I'm very busy. I haven't been looking for you recently. After tonight, I'll be free later. We can talk about the imperial business." He tapped his knee lightly, his voice deep After a pause, he deliberately lowered his voice, Lou Ma's language was also vague.

The Lou Ma language that Lu Jinyin hurriedly added was not that good, but he could also hear the ambiguity in his words, trembling all over, his eyes caught the silent attention in the crowd again, coughed lightly, and actually brought him closer The eldest prince said, "I thought your Highness meant something different from what I thought."

The eldest prince raised his eyebrows and said, "My idea is to see what you think."

"What I want is never out of my hands." The eldest prince slid his fingertips across Lu Jinyin's chin and smiled.

Lu Jinyin's lips were tightly pursed, and his hairs exploded in an instant. He endured the unbearable pain in his heart, stood up with his wine glass in his hand, and said, "Your Highness, I wish you all the best tonight."

The eldest prince raised his glass to him, raised the corners of his lips arrogantly, and said, "Naturally."

A group of people outside the king's city slowly approached against the cold wind in the dark night. They each wore thick leather hats and covered their thick black hair. Their pupils could not see the color clearly in the dark night, but But the stature of these people is not smaller than the Louma people, so there is nothing strange about them, only the face can be seen clearly under the light, it is a flat yellow face.

Some time ago, the weather started to warm up, and soon there was another unstoppable cold snap. The night was heavy with dew, and the soldiers guarding the city were wrapped in cotton-padded clothes tightly. One of them rubbed his palms tremblingly, touched his lips up and down, and let out a hard breath.

Breathing hot, "The weather is freezing to death, I will go back to drink later."

In the distance, a group of dense black dots rushed towards us in the darkness. He opened his sleepy eyes wide, patted the people around him vigorously with his rough hands, and said loudly, "Hey, someone! Someone!"

The shoulders of the people around him were slumped, and they grinned and gasped, "Damn, don't make a fuss."

When the person beside him saw the group of people in the darkness clearly, his expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "What are you making public, didn't you hear the sergeant's order?"

The soldier's face was full of bewilderment, his hand was still on the sword at his waist, and the cold iron body made him tremble suddenly, as if suddenly waking up from a dream, his whole body was shocked, as if he had also caught something from his vague memory. Threads passed through his fingers and slipped away, he frowned and nodded seriously, "I remember."

He didn't know what he remembered.

The group of people was getting closer and closer, their faces hidden in the night, they could only hear their fluent Louma language, and they quickly showed their pass order, even though the number of people did not match the pass order, the token they showed together They had to let them go, it was the token of the royal family's identification.

The soldier watched the group of people being put into the royal city, moving towards the palace in unison, with their backs straightened in the cold night, he sighed, these people looked more like a soldier than they did during the military parade, he Suddenly, he was taken aback, feeling a chill from his own thoughts.

And this group of people who are more like soldiers than them have gone to the palace. Some of the soldiers guarding the palace were entrusted with their connections, including him. There are signs of change.

He took a deep breath and patted the shoulders of the brothers beside him, "I won't drink today, I'll go back early."

The closer you are to the palace, the quieter the road is. There is no one on the street in the middle of the night, and a few drunks are lying on the street. At night like this, the distance between them and the corpse is only a few hours. It was very quiet, they drifted silently towards the palace like a group of souls.

They have a mission in their hearts, and this mission is of great importance. After completing it, they will be able to return to Daxia ahead of schedule. In Daxia, their relatives and friends will be waiting for them.

The melodious and cheerful music in the palace sounded, everyone put aside all their worries for the time being, and participated in the dance floor of the rotunda. The eldest prince reached out to a noble lady from a family, and the lady was pulled into the dance floor by him, with a slender waist. Being pressed tightly by the palm, his cheeks quickly flushed red.

The eldest prince's gaze fell on the young lady's face from time to time, and sometimes turned around purposefully in the audience. His gaze was like an impenetrable net, which tightly caught every small movement of everyone present. He smiled He whispered in the lady's ear, "Maybe you'd like to do me a little favor?"

The woman was bewitched by those light-colored pupils, she blinked her eyes lightly, and smiled. She also placed her parents' high hopes on her today, and now she thinks she has completed half of it. The prince seems to have given her a very important task. Easy things, things that can't even be called things.

She followed the instructions and walked towards the second prince, with the wine still in her hand, she hadn't even typed the manuscript, so she took out her invitation very casually, the second prince glanced at her, and silently moved closer to the people around him , She was taken aback, and repeated her invitation embarrassingly. The second prince looked at the man beside him. The man murmured in his ear, and he reluctantly accepted the woman's invitation.

Just go to the terrace for a while.

As soon as they went out, the atmosphere cooled down. The woman took the initiative to mention what the men liked, while the second prince just resisted the meaningless conversation in silence. The woman was a little embarrassed. She was also quite popular among noble ladies. When did she meet In such a situation, she thought of the gentle eyes of the eldest prince again, settled down, and continued to talk slowly with a cheeky face.

The second prince rubbed the railing with his fingers, and his eyes stopped in the dark place downstairs. He saw a group of people standing in the dark place, a group of soldiers in armor. Occupying this place, he felt nothing in his heart, not even a trace of fear.

He doesn't care about these things, he doesn't care if the throne belongs to him, he doesn't even care if he will be killed by his half-brother, as long as he dies, that person will accompany him

Up.

The people on the dance floor were warmly hugging each other, the music was getting louder and louder, and they didn't know what they were celebrating. Putting it out diligently, under the cover of the smell of alcohol, no one noticed any strange changes in the smell inside.

Lu Jinyin had never touched the food on the table, but drank a lot of wine. Whether it was the eldest prince or someone else, almost everyone had drunk the wine on the table. Instead, he was relieved and kept his eyes on Chu Jiangli. He was not allowed to drink too much, Chu Jiangli knew in his heart that there would be business, so he didn't take a sip, and stood in the corner waiting for an opportunity.

The old king was surrounded by the crowd, and the music was blasting in his ears. He rubbed his head calmly, his stomach was filled with sour water, and before he could make a sound, the servant beside him brought a meal. He ate a few mouthfuls with little interest, patted the residue on his hands, and said, "I'm going back."

As soon as his voice fell, the flattery around him sounded again. He responded with a smile, but the eldest prince who escaped from the dance floor suddenly stood in front of the old king, and his gentle smile suddenly made people feel chills. The loud music was still going on, the eldest prince's lips moved, the old king couldn't hear clearly, he stared at his dim old eyes, and said, "What did you say?"

The complexions of the rest of the people who heard it clearly changed, and they retreated one after another. They couldn't believe the words of the eldest prince. Several high-ranking nobles from aristocratic families were already furious, and asked, "What are you talking about that is outrageous!"

The aristocrats of these aristocratic families have always maintained a neutral attitude towards the power struggle between the second prince and the first prince. They are more inclined to the old king, and they look down on the second prince. As for the first prince, they still have some dislike for the elder prince's slippery and sideways The thing is, after all, the eldest prince has been married for many years and has no heirs, and no one knows the reason for this.

The eldest prince repeated what he said just now with a half-smile, "My son said, you can stay here, no matter if it's today or in the future, you don't have to go."

The old king's face sank for a moment, he looked at the eldest prince with a dead face, his hands tightly grasped the armrest of the chair, everyone held their breath, and the music that stopped abruptly took advantage of the silence at the moment.

The old king sneered and said, "Why are you so anxious, these things will fall into your hands sooner or later?"

The eldest prince raised his eyelids, and gradually some people appeared behind him. The soldiers in black armor pointed their knives at these unarmed and delicate nobles. Sobbing in a low voice, the eldest prince didn't have any sympathy for the beauty, instead he smiled and said, "Don't think about resisting, I don't think you have the strength to resist."

"Father, how many years have you been sitting in this position? From the age of 20 to this old state, I can't wait. You should have left a while ago, didn't you?" The people hooked, and one of the soldiers approached them step by step.

The rest of the nobles have already stared into another panic. From their disdain at the beginning to their direct push to the palace, they have developed too fast. They are still in a state of complete disbelief, and no nobles can stand in their way. In front of the old king.

Whoever sits in this seat is not as important to them as their lives, but they hate this cruel and merciless prince thoroughly. Why did the forced palace choose such a day, do it so recklessly and blatantly, and involve them all just to give Stand up for yourself!

The eldest prince also didn't think about how he would deal with himself after doing such a thing, how he would face these nobles, not to mention that these nobles and the royal family still have some inextricable kinship, which is even more chaotic than the Great Xia royal family.

The old king's face was ashen, and he slapped the armrest fiercely, his thick palm was shaking painfully, his chest heaved violently, the air in his lungs became thinner and thinner, and a sharp pain spread from inside, making him unable to breathe When he got angry, he stared at his eyes, and suddenly spewed out a mouthful of black and turbid blood from his mouth. Before the soldier came to him, his face turned gray.

The whole audience fell into a long silence. The eldest prince's breath was stagnant. He stared at the corpse of the old king Yu Wen and was speechless for a while. He was also a little confused about the situation. Not daring to speak out, everyone could see the strangeness of the old king's death from the black turbid blood.

But they decided that it was the eldest prince who poisoned them, and they gathered together with pale faces, their bodies pressed against each other, and some women were already sobbing softly.

Come on, the tears stained the makeup on his cheeks, and the white water fell down his chin onto his chest. The eldest prince wanted to speak up to defend himself, but he stopped seeing the fearful eyes of these people.

More and more soldiers arrived and surrounded these naturally superior nobles layer by layer, and the rest of them were driven to the hall outside, the eldest prince said: "If you are honest, I will not hurt you. "

"I promise, you will go back with your life."

One of the men's face has changed a few times. Normally, the old king would give him a little face, but now he is threatened by a kid who used to look down on him. The muscles on his face twitched and he stared at the prince. Shi Wu told him, Now is not the time to speak out.

The eldest prince's ambition is not only the throne, when he said his request, the sobbing woman also stopped crying, and immediately let out a scream: "No! Never!"

These aristocrats lived too comfortably, and they no longer paid much attention to the royal family. Even when the old king was seriously ill, they showed their desire for superiority. Lou Ma fought everywhere, and they were like a group of blood leeches behind the soldiers. , sucking up the blood of Lou Ma, and dividing up the territory they had conquered, they stared at Da Xia, eager to cut another piece of meat from it to fill their stomachs that would never feel full.

The nobles became agitated, and they opposed aggressively. Some of them waved their fists in a hurry, but the soldier behind the eldest prince drew out his sword with a "clank", which shocked everyone. The voice of opposition gradually became smaller. The eldest prince smiled and said : "I didn't ask for your opinion."

"Do you think there is still a chance to negotiate with me now?" The eldest prince took out dozens of land cut contracts, most of which were aimed at these great nobles. The old king had been thinking about land cuts for a long time, but he was still unable to act. But now the eldest prince fulfilled this last wish for him.

The soldiers caught one of the men who made the most noise. The man's fat body was twisted into a ball and pressed on the dining table. The sweet and cold food made his stomach full of things retch. A puddle of fat was spread on the table, and he grunted, saliva leaking from the corner of his mouth.

It was the first time he had no dignity like this.

His children stood aside trembling like a sieve, covered their mouths with tears in their eyes and dared not make a sound, their faces were completely humiliated, they could imagine how other people would look at them at the banquet in the future, and they avoided the others He didn't dare to look at his dead pig-like father.

"Sign it, and you will be sent home safely. After you get some sleep, nothing will happen."

The contract was handed out by the soldiers. The hands of the nobles holding the pens were trembling. They read the contract word by word with staring eyes. Completely drove them into a hurry.

The eldest prince smiled and waited for them to sign the contract before telling them his decision. He cut their flesh and gave them some blood to give back. These people need to be appeased.

Just after these people signed all the contracts, there was a loud noise at the door, and the newly promoted nobles were sent in by soldiers on their shoulders. They also had a contract, but this contract was much stricter than that of the nobles of the family.

The man who was often by the second prince's side decisively threw away his pen, showing a look of refusal to cooperate. Not only he was unwilling to cooperate, but others were also unwilling. Two-thirds of their property would be confiscated, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to them. blow.

They have no military power in their hands, and the guards they raise cannot be brought in. Like the nobles of the family, they are like fish and meat on the chopping board to be slaughtered.

The eldest prince sneered and said, "It seems that you are not very clear about the situation."

"You think that bastard can keep you? He can't even save himself."

He clapped his hands, and the dark soldiers withdrew to a road. The second prince was also sent in by the soldiers holding his shoulders. Thinking about it, although the second prince is cowardly and docile, it is better than this ruthless one who took them under the knife.

The man's face remained unchanged and he said: "They are both His Majesty's heirs, why are you talking about being a bitch? According to Your Highness, isn't Your Highness, who is a direct son, the most bitch?"

Nanye, who was at the end with the soldiers, burst out laughing when he heard it, and his eyes focused on her. She raised her eyebrows and said, "It makes sense."

The corners of Lu Jinyin's mouth almost froze, but the boiling voice outside suppressed the silence inside. The eldest prince knew something was wrong when he heard it. He frowned, and pushed the soldiers beside him, "Go, Let's see what's going on."

The soldier came back in a hurry not long after he left, but behind him was a group of black soldiers. There was a long silver sword hanging around his neck. The owner of the sword stood tall and straight behind him, but his thin stature was impressive It is impossible to underestimate him, the bloodthirsty aura on his body makes people terrified.

The man's jet-black hair was tied back, his armor shone coldly under the bright lights, his deep black eyes coldly swept over everyone present, and the silver mask on his face revealed his identity to everyone.

The eldest prince's complexion changed slightly. At least in terms of numbers, the other party almost crushed him. These people unexpectedly entered the royal city without anyone noticing it, which shows that he still trusted those old guys too much before. He took a hard look at the pale-faced nobles over there.

A sense of crisis welled up in their hearts. They stared vigilantly at the crowd of foreigners. The soldiers put their swords on the necks of the soldiers who forced the palace. Chu Jiangli easily unscrewed the arms of the second prince from the soldiers, The person pulled it out, and the second prince stood in front of Chu Jiangli, his aura was overwhelmed, and he looked cowering.

The man said at the right time: "Second Highness has far-sightedness and foresight, and has long been aware of the thief's ulterior motives, so he laid a net in advance."

One of the nobles tentatively said: "These soldiers are clearly..."

The man interrupted him, "These people are refugees urgently recruited by His Highness the Second Highness."

The nobleman was blocked and came back. He didn't know what to say for a while, but he could only admire the man's ability to open his eyes and tell lies. The man said: "The thief must not be stubborn."

A trace of inexplicable emotion flashed across the face of the first prince Qing Hui, he stared at the thin and fair face of the second prince, he knew they must have made a deal with Da Xia, he sneered and said: "It is better for me to usurp the throne than for you to betray the country and be a traitor .”

This is exactly what the nobles were worried about. Their eyes immediately focused on the second prince. The second prince tremblingly said, "How can I betray the country? Louma's land is always Louma's, not an inch of it. It will be less."

"As for you, if you don't have the right to borrow troops, do you need me to explain all the fiefdoms you have promised?"

The eldest prince was exposed, with a froze face, and the rest of the people watched a good show. The two heirs of the royal family revealed each other's truth, so interesting.

Chu Jiangli's sword deflected and hit the eldest prince's neck. The cold and sharp blade lightly drew a bloodstain on the neck. The eldest prince held his breath suddenly and did not dare to act rashly.

He swallowed the rest of the words into his stomach, and was choked up by himself. This bastard knew all about him asking for someone to borrow soldiers, and a strange fear arose in his heart. Did you do it yourself?Yes, working hand in hand with Da Xia.

His eyes caught sight of those earth-colored soldiers, as well as Lu Jinyin beside Nanye. He didn't feel ashamed when he became king and defeated, but he also knew that he couldn't promise Lu Jinyin anything, and his previous promises had all been broken. Kong, he still doesn't know what he will face in the future, and imprisonment may be a good result.

Thinking of this, his heart became even more desolate, his eyes turned red, and he saw Lu Jinyin suddenly move and walked to Chu Jiangli's side. , Lu Jinyin grabbed Chu Jiangli's empty hand.

After the cold man's hand was held in public, he pursed his lips, but he didn't shake it away, letting others hold his hand. He suddenly met the shocked gaze of the eldest prince, sneered suddenly, and clenched his hand tightly. Lu Jinyin's hand.

The eldest prince and his soldiers were imprisoned together, and the second prince also signed a peace treaty with Lu Jinyin in front of everyone. What happened tonight will only exist in unofficial history in the future, and the nobles did not forget it. Their contract, after asking too much, the man looked at them with a half-smile, "Since it has been signed, it should count."

The nobles scolded the man in their hearts, and wanted to save some from the second prince, but the second prince hid behind the man again, and the man stretched out his hands at them, "I will send someone to take you back."

The nobles came out of the palace in a trance, all of them pale and tossing all night. They dragged their tired bodies into the carriage. Many women began to cry and were yelled at by their husbands, "I still don't like what happened today." Isn't that bad enough!"

The silver bottle in Chu Jiangli's hand contained the antidote. These were taken out from the chest of the old king's clothes. The second prince seemed to know this very well. He didn't explain why he knew this. He put the bottle into Chu Jiangli's hand and After instructing a few instructions on how to use it, Nanye crushed a pill, smelled it, and frowned, "He shouldn't be lying."

By the time Nanye finished testing the medicine in the palace, the sky had already turned blue.

Chu Jiangli and Lu Jinyin stood on the terrace, the Golden Crow rose slowly from a line in the distance, and the golden light fell on Chu Jiangli, looking at Lu Jinyin with eyes full of water, his mask Lu Jinyin took it down, and after rubbing the patterns on it carefully, Lu Jinyin said, "This is confiscated."

"Gu won't let this come in handy again." Lu Jinyin bowed slightly, and touched his forehead with his lips, "In the future, you will only be the Queen of Great Xia, and rule the world with Gu."

Emotions that have never been won in countless battles in the past swelled in his chest. The soldiers were already waiting downstairs.

Chu Jiangli held His Highness's hand, the gradually dazzling sunlight made his eye sockets sore, and the heat from his palm made his whole body feel hot, the contract on his chest made him feel hot, and his whole body aroused endless strength , enough to face anything.

He whispered, "Your Highness, let's go home."
