Acting for the gods

Chapter 118
Jiang Fan in the room naturally heard the movement, got up unhurriedly, picked up the magic knife Qianren casually and walked out of the room.

"What the hell is this?"

"It's such a big rooster, has it become sperm?"

"Kill it!"

"Why is it on fire?"

"It's not good!!"

"The sixth child is dead, there is no bones left, what a terrifying flame."

"Monster!"

"Save...save me..."

A group of more than a dozen men in black climbed over the wall and entered the house, intending to wash Jiangfu with blood, but in the blink of an eye, three of them died under the claws of Nu Qing Chicken, their skulls were overturned, and another five people were burned to ashes by Nu Qing Chicken's immeasurable karmic cremation , the remaining ten people were all shocked.

"Shoot the arrow and shoot it!"

The leading man in black ordered to release arrows, and the rest hurriedly opened their bows and released arrows, trying to shoot Nuqing Chicken to death.

"Chuck~"

The Nuqing chicken spread its wings and flew fast in the dark night with the boundless blue karma on its body, erratic like a ghost, avoiding most of the arrows.

"Ding Ding~"

Two arrows were shot at the Nuqing Chicken, but there was a sound of gold and iron clinking.

After two evolutions, the colorful feathers on the Nuqing Chicken's body became very hard, like layers of iron sheets, even if an arrow shot at it, it would be difficult to break through the defense and cause effective damage.

This angered Nu Qingji instead, and he opened his mouth and sprayed several small fireballs towards the man in black below.

The fireball is only the size of a finger, but it is devastating to people. Even if it is only contaminated by a little bit, it will burn the body and leave no bones left.

When Jiang Fan walked out of the room with the magic knife Qianren, the people who came to attack were either burned to ashes by the Nuqing chicken, or their bodies were torn apart by the chicken's sharp claws.

Only the three of them fled over the wall in a hurry.

As far as Nuqing Chicken's current force value is concerned, ordinary martial arts masters may not be its opponents.

In particular, the Nuqing chicken can skillfully use the infinite karma fire, which Jiang Fan dare not touch, and if ordinary people touch it, there will be no bones left in an instant.

"Dabao, come back and take care of the house."

Jiang Fan gave an order, and jumped, his figure had passed through the courtyard wall, listening to the voice to argue his position, and looked at the three fleeing in panic.

Without seeing Jiang Fan's movement, the four throwing knives on his waist flew up into the air and shot out.

The two men in black behind were directly pierced through the neck by the flying knife.

The man in black running at the front was pierced through both arms by the throwing knife and nailed to the ground.

Jiang Fan stepped forward and asked, "Who sent you to kill me?"

The other party didn't reply, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, the poison sac in his mouth burst, and he died soon after.

"You are straightforward."

Seeing that Duo committed suicide by taking poison, Jiang Fan stepped forward to check.

The visitor's hands were calloused, which was caused by practicing swords all the year round. He was wearing official shoes, which showed that he had an official background. In addition, Jiang Fan also found a belt badge of Dongchang on the leader.

"East Factory?"

"Go out to assassinate and still wear a waist card. Is it negligence, or is it deliberately planting the blame?"

It's a pity that the warlock's internal scene is hard to count, otherwise it would be much easier for Jiang Fan to find out who is behind the scenes.

But it doesn't matter, whether it is King Xin or Wei Zhongxian, Jiang Fan will eradicate him when the time comes.

There's no need to use interior calculations for such a trivial matter.

Even if it is Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of Tianqi, Jiang Fan doesn't mind killing him if it hinders him.

Using flint rings to destroy the corpses of these unknown killers, Jiang Fan turned and returned home.

Early the next morning.

In the early morning, Wei Zhongxian read the imperial decree in his hand.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor said: I feel a little cold, and I have to stop court for a few days. All the ministers and officials will keep their duties, and I will not be admonished by the court. I appreciate this."

"The emperor is sick?"

"How can this be good?"

"I wonder when your majesty's dragon body will recover?"

In the early court, Zhu Youxiao was not seen to go to the court, but he got the news that Zhu Youxiao was ill, and the minds of the ministers in the court and the central government became active.

People in Donglin naturally hope that Zhu Youxiao will die early. They feel that Zhu Youxiao is occupying the latrine and not shitting, which prevents them from making money, bah, prevents them from dedicating themselves to Daming.

Xin Wang Zhu Youjian received the news from the Imperial Hospital last night, and he felt that God was helping me.

It would be best if Zhu Youxiao died of illness, so that he wouldn't have to worry about being called a king-killer and brother-killer, and he would feel better.

However, he is suspicious by nature, so he is still not at ease, so people continue to pay attention to the movements in the palace.

But at this time, the palace where Zhu Youxiao lived was strictly guarded by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and people who believed in the king could not get close at all.

In addition, Wei Zhongxian began to control the Nine Gates of Kyoto and gather military power, obviously to cause trouble.

Seeing this, Dong Lin's side couldn't sit still.

They felt that Wei Zhongxian might want to take advantage of Emperor Tianqi's serious illness to seek power, and they didn't dare to bet on whether the other party dared to usurp the throne.

But in any case, Wei Zhongxian's power is not what they want to see.

The Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party have been fighting for so many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that the hatred is as deep as the sea. They both want to put the other party to death. Once Wei Zhongxian is in power, there is no way for them to survive.

Some people from Donglin immediately contacted secretly and began to discuss how to deal with it.

Originally, according to their thinking, Emperor Tianqi had no heirs, and the superficial brothers and sisters were respectful. Once Emperor Tianqi was critically ill, in all likelihood, he would pass on the throne and believe in the king Zhu Youjian.

And Xin Wang's usual submissiveness will be the No. 1 choice supported by Wei Zhongxian.

But there are no absolutes in the world, if Wei Zhongxian doesn't play his cards according to the routine, instead he will obstruct it and prevent King Xin from meeting Emperor Tianqi.

Once Emperor Tianqi died, Wei Zhongxian chose to support other vassals, or use this to monopolize power.

At that time, their plan will come to nothing.

Although the latter is unlikely, it is not impossible. How many people can resist the temptation of power.

Even if Wei Zhongxian didn't do it for a long time, the turmoil that would be caused was definitely not what Donglin wanted to see.

In the afternoon, Xinwang Mansion.

Zhu Youjian is thinking about how to meet Zhu Youxiao, so that this brother who has been doing nothing all day long will abdicate and let Xian.

However, Eunuch Liu under Wei Zhongxian came to the gate of Prince Xin's Mansion with the imperial decree.

"The imperial decree has arrived, and the letter king Zhu Youjian will accept it."

Seeing that Eunuch Liu brought people here, Zhu Youjian had a bad premonition, but he was not ready yet, and he did not dare to defy the imperial decree in public, so he could only kneel down to accept the decree.

Eunuch Liu opened the imperial decree and proclaimed it according to the script.

"Follow the sky to carry it, the emperor decreed."

"Zhu Youjian, the king of trust, has good character, is loyal and filial, follows the rules, and is diligent in the king's affairs. I am very pleased. Now that Zhu Youjian is young and prosperous, he should serve the country and serve him."

"Although I think about the brotherhood, I can't bear the separation of flesh and blood, but for the long-term stability of Ming Dynasty, I must strictly abide by the imperial system of the ancestors. All adult princes should leave Beijing, stay away from the palace, and avoid interfering in politics. This way, the family and the country can live in peace."

"The ancestral system must not be violated. I now grant Dengzhou, Henan Province to King Xin as a territory. The land is 1 hectares, the annual salary is 8000 taels, and all national taxes are exempted. On the first day of the next month, Zhu Youjian will leave Beijing immediately, here."

Eunuch Liu looked down at Zhu Youjian, who was submissive and seemed about to cry, with a smug expression on his face: "His Royal Highness, accept the order."

Zhu Youxiao cried as soon as he cried, and the tears flowed down. He looked very sad, and cried: "My brother is reluctant to part with the emperor, woo, I don't want to leave the capital, woo, I just want to serve you for the rest of my life." Your Majesty! Woooooo..."

The imperial decree brought by Eunuch Liu clearly wanted Zhu Youjian to leave the capital and stay away from the imperial power.

Zhu Youjian felt that the imperial decree was fraudulent, and it might not even be the decree of Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Tianqi.

Maybe it was Wei Zhongxian's conspiracy to cut off his path to becoming emperor, so naturally he didn't want to leave Beijing just like that.
