Chapter 220: One or two of them are dead!
As night fell, the palace gates slowly closed, and the originally quiet palace became even quieter.
It was not until the second half of the night that the sound of doors opening and messy footsteps were heard at the palace gate.
What appeared next were groups of soldiers wearing helmets and armor and holding weapons.
"Husband, Jun Yuanqi is here as expected?" Su Yueqing said softly while standing on the treetop.
After saying that, Su Yueqing saw three flashes of light not far away and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
"It seems that Yuan Sheng and Lord Jun are in place."
Xiao Mochen nodded and said softly, "You come, or should I?"
Su Yueqing took out a pistol from the space and said, "I'll do it."
As he spoke, Su Yueqing aimed at Jun Yuanqi, who was wearing a helmet and armor, and slowly raised his arm upwards, finally positioning it at the other's forehead.
As the trigger was pulled, an explosion suddenly sounded in the originally calm air.
Following the sound of explosion, Jun Yuanqi's body slowly slipped off the horse's back and fell straight to the ground. Two streaks of blood slowly seeped out of the corners of his mouth and he kept twitching.
"Your Highness!" Upon seeing this, Jun Yuanqi's personal bodyguard immediately dismounted and wanted to help Jun Yuanqi up.
Unfortunately, before he could help Jun Yuanqi up, Su Yueqing shot him in the head and he fell to the ground.
There were also a few soldiers who wanted to move forward, but they were shot dead by Su Yueqing one by one.
Seeing this scene, the originally orderly team began to become agitated, not knowing whether to raise or put down the weapons in their hands.
"What's going on?" the soldier whispered.
"Is the Third Prince a disaster star? Why did he fall down when he got close to him?" The soldier spoke as he took a few steps back.
Seeing this, the people around also took a few steps back.
"Oh no! The Third Prince is dead!" Someone in the crowd howled.
Immediately afterwards, the news of Jun Yuanqi's death spread throughout the team in an instant.
Before the team could react, Jun Yuansheng and Jun Huaijin came riding on tall horses, wearing armor, walking towards the moonlight.
Behind them is also a huge army.
These troops included servants and guards of civil officials and soldiers under military officers.
All together, there are probably 70,000 to 80,000 people.
It’s not much, but it can serve as a deterrent.
The battle they fought was not a real combat with real guns and swords, but a psychological warfare to defeat the enemy without fighting.
"The traitor Jun Yuanqi is dead." Jun Huaijin said coldly, "I am Jun Huaijin."
"Jun Huaijin?"
"Prince Zhan is still alive!" An older soldier rubbed his eyes. "I've seen Prince Zhan. He looks like this."
The other older soldiers in the team also echoed, "He really is the former War Lord!"
In addition, Jun Huaijin and Jun Yuansheng's righteous deeds of providing relief to the people and punishing evil and promoting good in the past few days have already won the support of many people.
“Jun Yuanqi is dead, and his close associates are also dead. Instead of supporting a dead man, you might as well support me and Princess Yuan Sheng. In this way, you may get a chance to be promoted.” Jun Huaijin said coldly.
"Either die or submit to me!" Jun Huaijin raised the sword in his hand, and his aura made people tremble with fear.
Those soldiers looked at each other, with panicked expressions and confused eyes.
Without the head coach, there is no one to take charge of the situation. These little soldiers are leaderless and don’t know where to go.
"I am willing to submit to His Majesty the King of War!" A loud voice resounded through the sky.
"I'm willing to do that too!" someone echoed, then put down his weapon.
"I am also willing to follow the War King!"
......
For a while, the voices of following and surrendering were heard one after another.
Jun Huaijin turned to look at Jun Yuansheng beside him, "Yuansheng, we succeeded."
Whether it was true surrender or false submission, at least the surface was calm.
Jun Huaijin didn't expect that after so many years, these soldiers from Dongli still remembered him.
It seems that the Dongli he protected was worth it.
"You are not only following this king, but also Princess Yuan Sheng." Jun Huaijin's solemn voice sounded.
Although these soldiers didn't know why His Royal Highness the War King said this, they still nodded and agreed, "Yes!"
According to the plan, after Jun Huaijin and Jun Yuansheng dealt with Jun Yuanqi, they only needed to wait where they were and await news from the palace.
"Husband, everything is going smoothly for Yuan Sheng and Prince Jun. Let's go see how Senior Sister and Second Brother are doing." Su Yueqing said.
"Okay." Xiao Mochen said, holding Su Yueqing's waist and flying down from the treetop.
At this time, the palace was covered in blood and looked deathly solemn.
Su Yueqing pushed open the palace door and saw blood all over the floor. Her breathing suddenly stopped and her heartbeat quickened.
He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw the bloody faces of Leng Qingqiu and Jiang Biechen.
"Senior sister, senior brother, are you okay?" Su Yueqing trotted forward and looked at the two of them carefully, "Are you injured?"
Leng Qingqiu smiled and nodded, her eyes like stars. All her previous sorrows and resentments were swept away, replaced by relief and happiness from the bottom of her heart.
"No." Leng Qingqiu turned his eyes to the bed, his tone a little crazy, "They are all dead."
Su Yueqing followed her gaze and saw the old emperor lying on the bed with his head tilted and his eyes closed. There was a deep knife scar on his neck, which had cut an artery.
Under the bed lay Jun Yuanxian's body.
His body was covered with scars, his clothes were torn, he had been stabbed several times in the abdomen and chest, and his entire body was covered in blood.
There were other people in the room, guards, generals, secret guards, lying on the ground in a complex pattern, all lifeless.
Su Yueqing narrowed her eyes. These people all died from the poison.
No wonder Master said that the senior sister is quite knowledgeable about poison.
It seems that the practice of growing Gu is not only practiced by those people in southern Xinjiang.
"These are all Jun Yuanxian's confidants." Leng Qingqiu looked around the room, "They are all dead."
She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
The poison planted in their bodies all these years was for this moment.
It is well known that Leng Qingqiu is good at alchemy.
But what others don't know is that she is even better at using poison, and she uses it to the fullest extent, able to kill people without them even noticing.
Except for his close master, fellow disciples and others, Leng Qingqiu has never been exposed to outsiders.
Therefore, Jun Yuanxian and his group had no idea that there was a poisonous insect breeder standing next to them who could take their lives at any time.
Until now, Leng Qingqiu did not kill them immediately and had not found the right opportunity.
After killing these members of the royal family, Dongli will be in turmoil, and the new forces on all sides will inevitably start a war to fight for the throne.
In the end, it was the people who were bleeding and injured.
She couldn't let more innocent people die for her own selfish desires.
In this case, what is the difference between her and this group of Dongli royal family?
But now it’s different. Dongli is about to welcome a new master, and she can kill him.
"Qingqing, Jun Yuanxian's men have all been controlled by my poison. They are no longer a threat and will obey my orders instead." Leng Qingqiu asked.
Su Yueqing gave a big thumbs up, "Big sister is awesome!"
"Jun Yuanqi is also dead, and Yuan Sheng and Prince Jun have also taken control of the situation over there." Su Yueqing stretched lazily.
"Our mission is accomplished! The rest is up to Yuan Sheng and Lord Jun!"
"Tomorrow morning, we will wait for the good news that Yuan Sheng will ascend the throne as the empress!"
