Liang Qian looked up in surprise and saw Yuchi Yuan's sword against Yuwen Ying's neck.

The mantis stalks the cicada but the oriole follows behind?

Yuwen Ying was startled for a moment, then immediately shouted.

"Someone come! Someone come quickly! Someone come!"

It turns out that Yuwen Jue has no good intentions.

But this is Lianzhou City, and half of the army are his cronies. How could he, Yuwen Jue, be allowed to act recklessly?

His shout really attracted quite a few people.

The henchmen rushed forward with weapons in hand, but they did not dare to move forward due to the long sword across their necks.

"Yuwen Jue, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"

Yu Wenying felt a little relieved. He glared and shouted angrily, but he didn't dare to move.

A general said, "Your Highness, Prince Qi, what are you doing?"

Yuwen Jue ignored him and slowly walked up from behind Yuwen Ying, his eyes fixed on the gleaming blade, a faint smile on his lips.

"Asking knowingly."

Facing that cold smile, Yu Wenying's expression suddenly froze, and his speech became inarticulate: "Do you really want to kill me?"

Yuwen Jue narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Yu Wenying couldn't believe it, and his heart trembled: "You dare to kill me in public?"

After I finished speaking, I heard a low cry.

Something fell to the ground.

Yuwen Ying felt a chill on his back and tilted his head to look. All his cronies had been beheaded, with round heads rolling everywhere and blood spilled everywhere on and off the stage.

There was an uproar below the platform.

Yuwen Jue smiled slightly: "Why not?"

Yu Wenying's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't believe it: "How dare you be so bold? You, aren't you afraid--"

The struggles among royal families have always been carried out in secret and covertly. Who would dare to kill dissidents so unscrupulously in public?

But how could this Yuwen Jue be so blatant?

After all, he was the King of Wei! He was also the commander-in-chief who led the army to attack Qi!

"Afraid?" Yuwen Jue lowered his eyes: "To tell you the truth, I didn't intend to kill you so soon."

His tone was cold and regretful.

Yuwen Ying stared at Yuwen Jue in a daze, speechless. It was not because of fear, but because his frank expression coupled with his undisguised murderous intent seemed so calm and there was no sense of incongruity.

Incredible.

Yuwen Jue's eyes moved slightly, and he said truthfully: "After all, you have only been in charge of the army for a short time."

Yuwen Ying's muscles were tense, his eyes were blank: "So Yuwen Ke is you——"

After Yuwen Ke's death, he had the opportunity to lead the army, but he was not the most powerful among the candidates. However, he got it without much effort.

What if all this is caused by someone behind the scenes?

"Why, why are you..."

"Why did you choose me?" Yuwen Jue understood and said calmly, "Because you are relatively clean."

Keep yourself clean?

Yuwen Ying was stunned.

Yuwen Jue didn't explain much.

Their voices were not loud and could only be heard by people who were very close.

Yuwen Ying murmured, "Yuwen Ke's death was strange, it turned out to be you, it turned out to be you!"

Everyone knows that Yuwen Ke died for his country.

Who would have thought that...

Speaking of Yuwen Ke, Yuwen Jue smiled and said, "You were also there on the day of Yuwen Ke's wedding. You must have known that he wanted to kill me."

Yuwen Ying stared at the person in front of him and didn't respond.

Of course he knows.

Yuwen Jue cast his gaze into the distance and confessed, "That day in the military camp, whether it was during the banquet or in the martial arts arena, it was a perfect opportunity for Yuwen Ke to kill me. If I were him, I would not care about others and would just do it directly."

Yuwen Ying was shocked and felt very disappointed.

"You, then, at the palace banquet, you——"

Yuwen Jue's gaze fell back on Yuwen Ying's face, and his attitude was very calm: "You know a lot."

Yuwen Ying did not feel that Yuwen Jue's words were a compliment to him. On the contrary, the doubts in his heart seemed to have been answered.

No wonder, he came to Lianzhou from Luoan, but he knew nothing about it and hadn't heard any news at all.

This clearly showed that all his informants had been eliminated.

"Then, the Duke of Lu, the King of Chu...their words..."

It's not that he is curious about the causes of death of others, but he really wants to know how he will end up.

Yuwen Jue's heart was as clear as a mirror, but he still felt a little annoyed by the question.

"Does it matter whether those statements are true or false? How can a dead person have the opportunity to refute? Right and wrong are not determined by the living."

He has the final say?

Yuwen Ying gasped, his hair standing on end. Even Yuwen Ke, who once held military power, did not dare to be so arrogant.

Even if we want to eliminate dissidents, shouldn't we do it step by step?

Conspiracies, snares, traps...are we going to deal with them one by one using this method?

But he actually——

"How dare you, how dare you, how dare you..."

Yu Wenying seemed to be so shocked that he had lost consciousness and kept repeating this sentence.

Yuwen Jue lowered his eyes and shook his head, his voice so low that only the two of them could hear it.

"You must know that the more complicated the conspiracy is, the more people will be involved, and the more loopholes there will be. Moreover, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are simply vulnerable."

He raised his eyebrows slightly and slowly stepped back: "If you must use it, then the simplest and most direct method is the best."

Simple and direct?

Yuwen Ying watched him retreat step by step, and his heart became more and more panicked. By the time he realized the danger was approaching, it was too late.

He didn't even have time to yell for mercy, as the intense pain reminded him that he no longer had any chance.

When Xiao Qianyi climbed up to the platform, she saw Yuwen Ying's head falling to the ground. In the blink of an eye, the dignified King of Wei turned into a headless corpse, lying straight in a pool of blood.

For a moment, she stood there in a daze, unable to utter a word.

His eyes slowly looked at the person a few steps away from the corpse. He stood there expressionless, his cold brows not showing any ripples.

He was dressed in a dark robe, with only the hem of his pearly white clothes showing underneath, which seemed to inadvertently reveal his sharpness and murderous intent, making one feel chillingly cold.

She slowed down, took a deep breath and was about to take a step, but unexpectedly several people passed her and strode towards the tall and graceful person.

It was Sima Bo, Wang Shiliang, Yang Zhongyuan, Yang Qi and other important military officers who reported on the situation in the city.

Is he taking over military affairs?

Xiao Qianyi paused, and at the same time, Xiao Jingnan stopped beside her.

Their eyes met briefly. There was some surprise in his eyes, but on the surface he looked much calmer than herself.

You know, it's not uncommon to have important military personnel. What's unusual is that some of them are Yuwen Ke's people, and some are Yuwen Ying's people...

Xiao Qianyi moved her lips: "Is it really okay to kill Yu Wenying like this? How can I tell the master——"

Xiao Jingnan patted her shoulder, interrupted her, and stepped forward.

Their statements were brief, which made it easier for the listeners to understand. They simply nodded slightly and soon dispersed.

Wang Tingyue hesitated to speak: "He..."

Liang Qian pursed her lips and smiled. She knew that Wang Tingyue must want to ask, why did Yuwen Jue look like a different person?

Of course, they had never seen the cold-hearted Grand Tutor Lu.

When she raised her eyes again, she saw Yuwen Jue standing in front of her.

Liang Qian gritted her teeth and smiled: "Master Lu, how are you?"

His eyes sank slightly, and just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard a sharp cry behind him.

Before Liang Qian could see who was shouting, she collapsed uncontrollably and almost slid to the ground when a pair of hands caught her.

She didn't push him away, she just smiled.

When he touched the warm wetness, his eyes narrowed and he lowered his head.

Everything in front of me was blood red.
