Chapter 689 Overlord's sudden death
"Can you escape?" Li Xuanba had been wary of Xue Ju breaking through, so when he saw his movements, he immediately drew his sword and took action.
"Clang!" A cold light emerged, and a rainbow light burst out. Li Xuanba was as fast as a tiger and leopard. His toes were pointed at the ground, and an astonishing impact speed broke out.
Seeing the afterimage, Li Xuanba leaned over and rushed out and stabbed with a sword.
Xue Ju's internal strength could not be raised, and only ordinary physical functions were left. He had about 30% of his ability, so his speed naturally slowed down.
As soon as he rushed out four or five steps, he noticed a cold light locking his back. If he didn't dodge, he would be pierced through the back of a sword after three steps and would be killed directly.
Xue Ju had a great hatred in his eyes, but he had no choice but to dodge sideways and yelled: "Come here, there is an assassin!"
In the past, the roar of the Western Qin tyrant Xue Ju, like a tiger roaring in the mountains, would definitely be a hundred feet away. However, today's shouting is worse than that of an ordinary hero. It lacks energy. In addition, the fabric of this camp is soundproof, so his voice penetrates and does not spread far.
The guards outside were all knocked down early, either dead or unconscious, and silent.
The guards responsible for the inspection were transferred and consciously did not arrive in time, so they did not notice any abnormalities here.
In order to cooperate with this action, Ye Junyao from Butian Pavilion used the power of the sect to support the inner demons placed in Xue Ju camp to achieve such a scene. Otherwise, Ren and the two of them had the best martial arts skills and would not have arrived quietly at the princes Zhang Nei.
At this moment, Ye Junyao also held the sword tightly, paid attention to the situation in the tent, and performed a final stab at any time. When listening to the situation outside, once the other guards discovered the situation, the two of them would forcibly break through and fight for a bloody path.
"Dangdangdang!"
At this time, Xue Ju pulled out a sword and fought hard with Li Xuanba, but he realized his strength very much. After a few moves, Li Xuanba stabbed three swords, covered in scars.
Xue Ju looked desperate on his face. He originally intended to compete for the world, but he had just defeated Li Tang's army, but unexpectedly he capsized the gutter here and was plotted by the Hidden Sect.
"I don't accept it. I should have an emperor. You are a thief. You are really despicable. You have the ability to let Li Yuan fight head-on!"
"You poison more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians, and you will die!" Li Xuanba was unmoved and extremely cold. He had all his skills and entered the level of innate qi. The sword light was filled with cold sword energy. Finally, he cut off the horizontal sword in Xue Ku's hand and cut off Xue Ju's head with one sword.
"puff!"
The heads fell to the ground and rolled, and blood sprayed, and a generation of princes died.
"No need to delay, leave immediately!" Ye Junyao was worried that Chi Ze would change and was deeply trapped in the encirclement and suppression of the army. No matter how high his martial arts are, there would be dangers.
Li Xuanba nodded and said, "When I poured the lamp oil on it, I lit it with a fire, destroying the body!"
He was decisive in his work and did not want people to find out that Xue Ju was killed, but wanted to destroy the evidence here, which increased the unknowability of Xue Ju's death. He had many doubts and made the enemy even more frightened.
Ye Junyao was not restrained and let him do it. After a moment, a fire broke out in the tent, and a lot of lamp oil was poured on Xue Ju's body, wrapped in a lot of cotton cloth. The fire would soon burn black and be difficult to identify.
The two left quickly and the guard post had already figured out, so they kept avoiding the patrol guards and guards and retreated outside the camp.
When the fire of the king's tent rushed up, the surrounding guards discovered that they rushed over to put out the fire, shouting anxiously, and were in chaos.
...
The next day, the entire Western Qin army was in panic. Because the Western Qin emperor stayed overnight, the tent suddenly caught fire and was burned to death. The matter was too funny and mysterious.
Xue Rengao hurried back with the guards. When he learned about this result, he was both angry and happy. He was angry that the emperor of the Western Qin and died inexplicably overnight. It must have been unusual. It must have been the work of the Tang army sent assassins. He was happy that he could succeed the throne, no longer be subject to discipline, and could control the power of the Western Qin.
Xue Rengao shouted coldly: "Investigate, let the Dali Temple Minister investigate the matter immediately. It must be that there was an assassination that night. The assassination of the guards outside the tent was assassinated, which is evidence."
Hao Yuan analyzed: "If you can sneak into the king's account without knowing it, in addition to the assassin's extremely skilled martial arts, there must be spies to help you."
A general said: "Quickly summon the commander of the guards and patrol guards who were on duty that night to cooperate with the investigation."
As a result, after a intensive investigation, it was found that there were two commanders on duty that night, one of whom was responsible for patrolling nearby posts, and the other who was responsible for laying defenses on the second floor of the king's account, all disappeared.
"There is indeed a traitor!" Xue Rengao's face turned pale. If this happens once, it may happen again. Therefore, he wants to re-examine the loyalty of the Imperial Guards and the Chief Commander to ensure that the general's background is in case.
Hao Yuan advised: "Your Highness, the attack on Daxing City should be reconsidered. Now that His Majesty suddenly died suddenly, it has a great impact on the morale of the army. If he fights against the expedition, he may suffer fluctuations."
Xue Rengao nodded. Although he was reckless, he was not stupid and could tell the difference. It was difficult to win when he marched again. It was better to take a step back, succeed to the throne and take power, and fight the eastwards to decide the victory with the Tang army.
The Western Qin army withdrew to Changwu City in Beidi County, where Xue Rengao stopped here, anxious for some military officials to discuss the succession to the throne.
Since Xue Ju only had a legitimate son and had some military power, it was natural to ascend the throne to the emperor.
Xue Rengao named Xue Ju the Emperor Wu and wanted to send Xue Ju's burnt body back to Tianshui County and then be buried in the scenery. Chu Liang volunteered to take over this matter.
Although when Xue Ju was reigning, he respected Chu Liang, a great scholar in the northwest, and valued him very much. He took him wherever he went and served as an aide to the army, Xue Rengao was stubborn and did not take such an elderly scholar-official to heart. Seeing that he volunteered, he sent him to do it.
Chu Liang knew Xue Rengao's talents and character very well. He didn't even have the ability of his father Xue Ju. He was young and energetic and had a hot mind. He would definitely be defeated by the Tang army when he attacked Jingzhao County. He followed him to fight and would probably die in the chaos. He happened to use this to combine and return to Tianshui County to inform the Sui army in the northwest, and cooperate with the inside and outside.
