The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Chapter 161 Wuheng's Death

At the same time, the angry roar of Emperor Qianyao continued to be heard:

"Rebellious son! Tell me now! What on earth did you do? Tell me the truth!

Tell me! What good things have you done! ! "

Qian Wuheng held a long sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword moved back and forth on the ground.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

But what it contains is a feeling of satisfaction after a desperate struggle.

Finally, Qian Wuheng turned his gaze to Qian Yaodi, his face full of sarcasm and ridicule.

He sneered and said, "Oh, it's actually not a big deal!

However, before entering the palace, I had already sent someone to deliver a secret letter to my uncle, in case today's matter cannot be successfully accomplished.

Then I'd like to ask my uncle to open the gate of Lianlu Pass and lead the 300,000 troops in the border area back to Beijing to serve the king..."

Qian Wuheng's uncle is Feng Qing's father, Feng Yian, the head of the Feng family.

He led an army of 300,000 and guarded Lianlu Pass.

If the 300,000-strong army returns to the court without any instructions, it would mean a rebellion.

The more crucial point is that Lianlu Pass is a crucial checkpoint between Qianyao and Xiqi.

Its status is so important that it can be said that a single move can affect the entire body.

Lianlu Pass is located in Qianyao Country. It is surrounded by undulating mountains and the terrain is dangerous and complex. It is actually a natural barrier that is easy to defend but difficult to attack!

It is also because of this that even though it was besieged by three other countries that year.

Qianyao is still able to stand firm, and the role played by Lianlu Pass cannot be ignored.

Even at that time, it was thanks to the Guyue Kingdom's defection.

But if not, there would be Lianlu Pass blocking the Xiqi army's eastward advance.

Even if there was no Guyue Kingdom, the Dongchu Kingdom was attacking from behind.

With just Xi Qi alone, Qian Yao would probably have to try his best to mobilize the Southwest Army and the Northwest Army to barely hold on.

But the current situation is completely different.

If Feng Yian, who had been guarding Lianlu Pass for many years, really did as Qian Wuheng said, he would open the city gate and let the enemy in.

It is hard to imagine what kind of miserable fate the people in the western region will suffer.

Therefore, before Emperor Qianyao could speak, the Duke of Fuguo, who was familiar with the terrain of Lianlu Pass.

He could no longer suppress his anger and shouted angrily:

"Prince Yi! Are you crazy? The defense of Lianlu Pass is related to the life and death of millions of people in the Western Territory!"

How can you disregard the lives of millions of people for your own selfish desires?"

Facing this Duke, who has fought on the battlefield all his life and devoted himself to his country and the people.

Qian Wuheng was speechless for a moment and couldn't utter a single word.

A trace of confusion and guilt flashed across Qian Wuheng's eyes, but was quickly covered up.

"Evil son! I should have executed you long ago! You are just like your vicious mother, you deserve to die!"

Amid Emperor Qianyao’s angry rebukes filled with disgust and contempt.

The confusion and guilt in Qian Wuheng's eyes disappeared in an instant.

What replaced it was a determination with no way out.

Qian Wuheng silently looked at the people standing in Yide Palace at this moment.

One after another, they were either extremely angry, or full of disgust, or terrified, or smug...

These scenes made his heart surge with endless sadness.

However, at this moment, his gaze suddenly met a pair of cold and calm eyes.

There was neither mockery nor complacency in those eyes, but rather they were so deep that one seemed to have no idea of ​​the bottom.

Qian Wuheng looked at Qian Wushang, and suddenly, he felt his heart tremble.

He once thought that he was a man of both military and civil skills, and if he could lead an army into battle, he would surely be able to kill the enemy generals on the battlefield!

Unfortunately, during the ten years when his third brother was fighting on the battlefield, he was confined to the palace, playing with people's hearts and engaging in intrigues.

I couldn't help but feel a strong sense of shame.

All these years, I have wasted my time...

Qian Wuheng smiled bitterly and turned his gaze to the person he had been fighting with all his life, Qian Wuling.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a cold smile: Brother, I will wait for you on the road to the underworld!

Qian Wuling's eyes flashed with shock, and the smug look on his face disappeared instantly...

In an instant, Qian Wuheng raised his head and let out a long, shrill cry: "Mother..."

Then, he held the sword horizontally in front of him, and the sword light flashed.

He was so determined that he cut his own throat, and blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the entire Yide Palace red!

"what……"

Princess Mingxia screamed in horror, covered her mouth with her hands, and retreated desperately, hiding behind Queen Meng.

Queen Meng's gaze first fell on Qian Wuheng, who was lying in a pool of blood.

Then he quickly glanced at the woman standing next to Emperor Qian Yao.

After just a quick glance, she quickly looked away.

She lowered her eyes slightly, making it impossible for people to see her true expression at this moment.

Only the pair of hands hidden in the sleeves were covered in blood due to excessive force.

She was constantly reminded that she must stay calm and never lose control.

Qian Wuling's eyes were dull, staring straight at everything happening before his eyes.

For a moment, complex and indescribable emotions surged in my heart.

For so many years, he has been fighting with Qian Wuheng.

But at this moment, when he witnessed the other person dying in front of him, he did not feel as excited as expected.

Instead, there was an inexplicable sense of loss and a vague sense of uneasiness, as if one's lips and teeth are in danger.

Emperor Qian Yao was obviously also greatly shocked, and his face turned as pale as paper.

With unsteady steps and great difficulty, he walked towards Qian Wuheng.

Emperor Qian Yao waved his hand and pushed away Eunuch Gao who was trying to support him.

He slowly squatted down and gazed at this son whom he had once loved, hugged, admired, but also whom he had extremely disappointed in.

However, Emperor Qian Yao had never considered passing the throne to Qian Wuheng.

I have never even had such a thought, not even once.

However, at this moment, facing her own son, his life had already passed away.

The anger in his heart gradually subsided, leaving only a trace of indescribable sadness.

Emperor Qian Yao trembled and stretched out his fingers, as if trying to wipe away the bloodstains on Qian Wuheng's forehead.

The hand that was originally stretched out just froze in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Qian Yao's body fell straight backwards.

"His Majesty……"

"Father..."

"emperor……"

For a moment, various exclamations rang out one after another.
