Inside and outside the capital, the wind and clouds are already surging, but in the imperial garden of the palace, there is still singing and dancing.

Civil servants and military generals, pushing cups and handing cups, drinking and talking, laughing and laughing, are also incessant.

Before Li Xiu's desk case, there was still an endless stream of civil servants and military generals who came to toast and congratulate, and the palace maids and eunuchs serving wine were almost too busy from the very beginning.

"Brother Xiu, I respect you with this glass of wine!"

Erwazi raised his wine glass drunkenly, and it was already countless times that he came to toast.

"Take it easy, boy."

Li Xiu shook his head helplessly, picked up the glass, and drank it.

It's a very good poison, and it's a poison that targets qi and blood. It's quiet, and if Li Xiu guessed correctly,

It should also need a primer to completely trigger the poison.

The poison effect is not the kind that kills people, but it simply makes people weak and unable to resist.

"Brother Xiu, don't worry, you won't go wrong, the fine wine is treasured in the palace, don't drink it for nothing..."

While Erwazi shouted, a faint fragrance suddenly appeared, and Li Xiu raised his brows, his expression suddenly icy cold.

At this moment, Erwazi, who was still hanging around, saw Li Xiu's expression change, and his drunken appearance disappeared instantly.

But at this moment, a crisp voice suddenly sounded, and I saw that the Queen Mother sitting in the first place, the wine cup in her hand had fallen to the ground and was torn apart.

Just as the eyes of the civil and military officials gathered, a cold light suddenly appeared behind Li Xiu. I saw that the **** who had been serving obediently had lost his docility at this moment, his face was hideous, and the short sword in his hand had already stabbed straight in front of him. Li Xiu.

"presumptuous!"

"court death!"

In an instant, the civil and military officials did not react from the Queen Mother's fall, and the violent shouts suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a figure flying upside down, the dagger rolled down, and the stabbing **** was already vomiting blood, his eyes were round, as if he had lost his life.

This sudden scene instantly turned the originally noisy banquet into deadly silence.

The civil servants were stunned, the martial arts had all stood up, and the unspeakable depression had just come, and even before the civil servants could react, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the imperial garden, and then they saw the brigade holding hands. The eunuchs with swords and fires rushed into the banquet hall and surrounded everyone.

The appearance of this scene undoubtedly immediately turned the depression that had just descended into a breathless fear!

Empress dowager, assassin, Duke Qin, martial arts, soldiers and horses...

Clues are intertwined, and a reality that makes all the civil servants fear has been placed in front of everyone.

In the dead silence, Li Xiu glanced around the audience, his eyes finally fixed on the empress dowager Zhou, who was already hard to hide, and slowly said: "The empress dowager, but you want to kill the minister?"

The voice was flat, without the slightest emotional fluctuations, slowly drifting in this silent night sky, and it was transmitted to the ears of everyone present with extreme clarity.

"Ai's family wanted to kill you in their dreams, and today, I finally got what they wanted!"

Empress Dowager Zhou made no secret of her murderous intent, and stared at Li Xiu with vicious eyes.

Li Xiu asked again: "I dare to ask, the Queen Mother, on what charges did she kill the ministers, and on what charges did these generals with great military exploits be killed?"

Faced with this question and the gazes of the civil and military, the Queen Mother Zhou opened her mouth, but no matter what she thought, she really could not think of a reason and excuse to kill a person who had repeatedly saved the country from danger. In the end, the Queen Mother Zhou simply Abandoning any excuses, he shouted: "Thunder and rain, all are God's grace, do you still need a reason for Aijia to kill you?"

"A good thunder, rain and dew, all are a blessing..."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Li Xiu laughed: "Yue Wumu was killed, after all, there is an unwarranted crime!"

"I, Li Xiu, have been working so hard to support this great Ming Dynasty. Until now, I don't even have a trumped-up charge!"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Li Xiu laughed so much that tears were about to come out. The laughter floating in the night sky was also full of indescribable self-deprecation and irony!

Under this laughter, even the civil servants who had never dealt with Duke Qin in the past could not help but feel a sense of sadness.

In terms of meritorious deeds, in terms of the present age and the history of history, there are a few others that are comparable to Duke Qin.

But even so, in the end, it was the result of God's grace.

This... is not without irony!

The laughter gradually stopped, and Li Xiu's expression became colder. He stared at the Queen Mother Zhou and asked again:

"When the minister is dead, the people's hearts are gone, the world will be in chaos, and the future Jinmeng will not miss this opportunity to set foot on the Central Plains."

"Queen Mother, have you thought about how to deal with it?"

These words, like the edge of a blade, penetrated deeply into the heart of the Queen Mother Zhou, and her expression was obviously a little unnatural:

"The Ming Dynasty is vast and talented, and there are people who dare to fight to repay the emperor's kindness."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Li Xiu laughed again: "Empress dowager, do you think that if the generals are killed, the generals will kneel down and all the generals with great military exploits will be killed. In this world, will there be anyone willing to repay the emperor's kindness?"

The queen mother was speechless, the ministers were also thoughtful, and the martial arts were murderous.

"Kill him, kill this thief who confuses the public!"

The queen mother was like a broken jar, her face was distorted, and her voice was piercing.

With an order, the murderous eunuchs who had originally surrounded him immediately executed the order, armed with swords and spears, and without hesitation, attacked Li Xiu and the other martial artists.

"Protect the General!"

Wu Xun shouted loudly, and snatched the long sword from the eunuch's dead soldier's hand. After the knife killed a dead soldier, he immediately moved closer to Li Xiu and protected Li Xiu.

"Li Xiu, you are dead!"

"No one can save you today!"

"No one can save you, a **** thief!"

The Queen Mother Zhou laughed wildly, completely losing the dignified appearance of the Queen Mother.

At this moment, it seems that all the depression and worries over the years have been vented out.

But with a smile, Empress Dowager Zhou's smile suddenly stopped in the summer, and an indescribable panic suddenly appeared.

"Poison...why aren't they poisoned?"

Looking at the martial arts who fought hard to resist and slaughtered the Quartet, the Queen Mother was suddenly frightened and kept mumbling to herself.

But soon, her doubts were revealed by the cruel reality.

"Protect Duke Qin!"

"Kill the rebels!"

Accompanied by the sound of thunderous footsteps, one after another deafening shouts rang out in the night sky.

Immediately, the brigade of pro-military soldiers and horses rushed into the imperial garden.

The invincible soldiers who fought in the south and the north had already swept the audience with ease, and their personal force was too fragile in front of this soldier.

In this situation, many of the collapsed civil servants, many of them could not bear to close their eyes, many were already full of despair, burst into tears, and many more, but it was the joy of survival .

And the Queen Mother Zhou, as if she had been drained of her whole body strength, completely collapsed to the ground, desperate fear, once again, completely shrouded her.

"Brother Chun, to protect Brother Chun..."

Between despair and fear, the Queen Mother Zhou muttered frantically to herself.

"Queen Mother, we lost. Duke Qin must have been prepared. The servant will lead you to escape. As long as you escape, there is still hope..."

At this moment, Cao Huachun didn't care about any respect, so he lifted the Queen Mother Zhou on his back and wanted to escape from the imperial garden while taking advantage of the chaos.

However, when he stepped out of this imperial garden, the scene that caught his eye made Cao Huachun completely desperate!

I saw outside the Imperial Garden, the army formation was lined up, already surrounding the entire Imperial Garden.

His desperation did not affect the actions of the pro-military soldiers. As soon as a military order came down, a team of soldiers rushed to directly hold Cao Huachun and the Queen Mother Zhou.

"Aijia is the queen mother~lightnovelpub.net~ Are you going to rebel?"

"Listen to the will of the Ai family, go to the Imperial Garden and exterminate the thief Li Xiu!"

"Go, go, go!"

"As long as Li Xiu's thieves are exterminated, Aijia will make Er and others a marquis, and reward you with 10,000 taels of silver, go, go!"

"Wait, obey, obey!"

The Queen Mother Zhou seemed to be crazy, her hair was disheveled, she grabbed the arm of a pro-military soldier, and roared frantically.

"The Duke of Qin has an order not to be rude to the Queen Mother and the Emperor!"

Some generals stopped the soldiers who wanted to forcibly drag the Queen Mother Zhou down, but immediately turned their attention to Cao Huachun.

Seeing this, Cao Huachun still didn't know what the general meant. At this moment, he had no choice.

He was armed with force, but the Queen Mother did not.

How could he leave the queen mother alone?

Cao Huachun silently picked up the crazy queen mother again, and under the guard of the soldiers, he walked back to the imperial garden step by step, and he was also heading towards the complete unknown...
