Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 167
It turned out that no one would have guessed that the hairpin on Lu Ping's head was actually a silver hairpin more than half a foot long.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that soft gold is hard silver.

One end of this silver hairpin is in the shape of a half cross, which just serves as a handle, and the other end has a thin hairpin tip, which is as sharp as a sword.

Although this Lupine is not considered a master, he is still considered an elite soldier.

But Zhu Wencheng was miserable. As a Yin official, his skills were very ordinary, no different from ordinary soldiers.

What's more, his hands are tied at this time, but the opponent has a sharp blade.

After only dodging the first blow, Zhu Wencheng was stabbed twice by Lu Ping, one in the back and one in the neck.

Amidst the screams, Zhao Dezhao rushed forward and forced Lu Ping aside with a knife at his waist.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang An kicked open the door and rushed in with someone.

Seeing that His Highness was safe, he let out a long sigh of relief.

There was only one person on the other side, and he almost hurt His Highness, and the one who searched himself was himself.

Jiang An was ashamed and angry, thinking that this reputation of poor protection would be irretrievable.

Calling the sergeant, he surrounded Lupin and started slashing.

"Jiang An wait! Keep alive..."

By the time Zhao Dezhao stopped the guards, Lu Ping had already been hacked four or five times.

One of the knives slashed at the shoulder blade and almost took off an arm. It was Jiang An who did it himself.

Looking at Zhu Wencheng again, it was nothing more than a slap in the back, but the stab in the neck directly pierced the throat, and blood spurted out like money.

Zhu Wencheng wanted to speak, but he could only make a loud voice. When he spoke, the wound on his neck kept bubbling.

Seeing that it is impossible to save.

Zhao Dezhao sighed, and looked at Yu Bai who had heard the news.

All this hard work was in vain.

"Hurry up and find a local doctor to stop the bleeding! Help!"

Zhao Dezhao signaled the guards to seek treatment. Although these two men deserved death for stabbing the king and killing him, they were still useful at this time.

At the court, it was up to them to overthrow the King of Jin.

Unlike Zhu Wencheng's serious injury, Lu Ping may not die yet,
Zhao Dezhao looked at him coldly and said, "Whoever asked you to assassinate this king, to kill and silence him, if you do it truthfully, this king will spare you the crime of exterminating your family!"

Lupine coughed and coughed up a mouthful of blood. He had been stabbed in the gut, and the possibility of saving his life was unlikely.

"Your Highness, you are also using this trick to scare me. I'm afraid you won't be able to scare me anymore. It was because King Jin burned down my house and put my whole family in jail, forcing me to work for him."

"It's been almost ten years since I've been hiding my name. Shi Shouxin is such a shrewd person, but he didn't realize that I was a secret agent. I really can't figure it out..."

Lu Ping coughed up another mouthful of blood, and continued, "I don't understand why King Jin suddenly asked me to assassinate you, and then kill other witnesses..."

"In short, I don't want to repay my life, and I don't want to kill my family before I die. You...give me a good time!"

Zhao Dezhao's thoughts changed. In this way, Lu Ping did not reveal his identity as King Jin's secret agent in front of Shi Shouxin, but King Jin still sent him to stop lurking and come to assassinate himself.

Zhao Guangyi's intentions are clearly revealed.

At this time, Zhu Wencheng had died.

Zhao Dezhao ordered people to carry the wounded Lu Ping to the doctor.

Turn around and discuss with Yu Bai.

Yu Bai was very sorry, "Fortunately, that Xu Xin is still alive, and the tokens of the Jin Palace are still there."

Zhao Dezhao shook his head and said, "But Zhu Wencheng is dead, and the person in the middle is not around. King Jin can deny it, so Xu Xin is of little value. Unless this Lu Ping can be saved."

Thinking of Lu Ping's injury, Yu Bai felt that there was basically no way to go, and was very depressed.

"The old minister discovered King Jin's ambition many years ago, and his ambition is not only for the throne, but after so many years, he is not only powerless to do what he does, but also sees that his power is getting bigger and bigger. The old minister is incompetent!"

Zhao Dezhao knew that Yu Bai was a stubborn old Confucian, and the throne must be given to the eldest son. Even if this person is incompetent or talented, it cannot break the thousands of years of rules.

At a time like this, Zhao Dezhao certainly needed his persistence.

"Mr.! The current confrontation with King Jin is already a charge, a hand-to-hand fight. The fight is based on the strength of both sides. I have always believed that everything depends on strength."

"So you don't have to be sorry. One or two people's physical evidence is of little use in itself, and it can't bring down the deep-rooted King Jin."

Yu Bai was a little dazed when he heard about charge and hand-to-hand combat, but he still understood.

"Your Highness! One or two people's evidence is useless, but if there are more, the King Jin will not be able to bear it anymore. The old minister thinks that this Lu Ping is dead, but it is still very useful. Someone in the King Jin's mansion must know his corpse. Pulling out King Jin, if there are two or three such incidents, his reputation in the court will be rotten!"

Zhao Dezhao shook his head resolutely.

"Now I understand why the king of Jin sent him to assassinate me before Lu Ping revealed his secret identity before Shi Shouxin. It was just to make a fool of himself and deceive others. Even if Lu Ping missed and was captured, it was Shi Shouxin Intention to assassinate the king and kill him."

"It still has nothing to do with him, Zhao Guangyi. If Shi Shouxin is convicted because of this, there may even be a military riot. At that time, the world was in chaos, and King Wei couldn't clean it up. Instead, he gave him an excuse to go out."

Yu Bai was startled, "The old minister really didn't expect this, His Highness has a broad vision, and the old minister can't go far."

Zhao Dezhao continued, "In the eyes of the King of Jin, this position is inevitable; in the eyes of the old gentleman, this position must be succeeded by the eldest son; but in the eyes of this king, I seek this position of crown prince. But they are very different from you two. "

"My purpose in becoming the emperor is to benefit all people in the world! No more people will die of cold and hunger on the streets; no more people will run away from disasters; no more foreigners will invade our territory!"

The more Zhao Dezhao spoke, the more impassioned he became, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if his body was full of strength.

"For the sake of the imperial power, King Jin can do whatever it takes, even at the risk of endangering the country and society. What he thinks in his mind is that he can do whatever he wants when he ascends to the great position. He will never take the suffering of the people to heart."

"This can be seen from what he has done over the years. As for me, I want to be the emperor in order to change the country. I want to ascend to this great position for the sake of the people of the Song Dynasty. What I do in my daily life Because, I believe the old gentleman has also noticed it. This! This is the biggest difference between me and Prince Jin!"

Yu Bai was deeply moved by what Zhao Dezhao said, and he was sincere and frightened.

For this young King of Tianshui County, he really refreshed his cognition once again.

I was greatly moved and admired in my heart.

"Your Highness! Your Highness's words won the heart of this old minister! The old minister misunderstood Your Highness before, thinking that you just wanted to be the heir apparent just because you were a prince. In fact, His Highness is tolerant and benevolent, loving the people and wise, and the old minister nodded a hundred times. bye……"
