Chapter 88
The city lords all guessed who asked a child to send a letter to warn him, but they had no idea at all.
The next day, the king summoned all the city lords to discuss matters in the palace.
When he came to the palace gate, the guard asked to take off his weapons and enter empty-handed.
This is understandable. However, after entering the palace, the city lords carefully observed the surroundings and found that there were a large number of guards in the palace today, and the atmosphere was extremely different. You could even feel that your eyes often fell on you.
This made them particularly nervous, and they were eye contact with each other and walked in with vigilance.
Entering the hall, King Anglo had already set up a banquet and waited for the city lords with a smile.
Although I was uneasy, the city lords hurriedly entered the hall to pay homage to the king, bowed and greeted each other and took their seats.
Because I was reminded, the city lords felt that there was something wrong with everything when they saw it, especially the general standing beside the king, with a vague murderous aura between their eyebrows, which made them constantly communicate with each other with eyes.
This scene was indeed another idea in the eyes of King Anglo.
These guys really have strange intentions and are united in private. Do you really think I can’t see it?
He made up his mind to kill them all in one place, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Everyone, I have summoned you to wait here today, mainly to discuss a major event! In fact, before you came here, you had just signed a letter of state with the envoy of Hua County. The envoy of Hua County will transfer the materials on board the ship to us within the next few days. A total of 100,000 gold, two million stones of military rations, and fifty boxes of jewelry and equipment. Half of these resources will be directly entered into the national treasury, and the other half will be taken out and sent to each city according to the proportion. The envoy has returned to prepare and will be able to start the handover procedure tomorrow. Today, the city lords will hereby negotiate the allocation ratio of each city."
If it were normal, these city lords would definitely be extremely excited to hear such good news.
But they all realized that the atmosphere was wrong. Logically speaking, in such an occasion, all the civil and military officials should be present at the scene to discuss such an important matter. But except for the king and the general, only the city lords, and the atmosphere of the guards outside was completely different, full of murderous aura.
The general's anger kept looking at the city lords with his eyes, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.
Thinking of the warnings that everyone has received, I wondered if it was the king who wanted to attack them? But why?
They basically didn't listen to what the king said next, and kept thinking and alert to the surroundings.
I don’t even dare to touch the delicious food on the table. What if it’s poisonous?
"Why, everyone is overly happy?" Anglo saw that they looked abnormal and thought the other party was guilty. He smiled and said, "Today is a good day. Come and sing and dance!"
After clapping his hands, a group of beautiful dancers immediately entered the hall and danced a gorgeous Binachu dance in the middle of the hall.
The city lords were worried and couldn't see it at all.
The lord of Xiluo City, Amur, glanced at the palace guards on both sides. Seeing that their movements were not natural, he held the hilt of the sword from time to time. Although his movements were concealed, his nervous look still fell into his eyes.
Looking at the king's expression and the wine glass that he was holding in his hand and playing with, and the angry eyes of the general next to him kept looking at him, feeling extremely dangerous.
However, all the weapons were confiscated when they entered the palace. He turned to look at the city lords, and then glanced at the guards on both sides.
The city lords were always alert. After noticing his eyes, they quickly glanced at both sides, with some thoughts in their hearts.
"Your Majesty!" The atmosphere was obviously wrong. Amur was not a person who was waiting to die. He stood up and said respectfully, "I'll be tired of this soft dance. If I don't mind, I'll dance a set of sword techniques to cheer up."
While speaking, he walked directly to the guard behind him and reached out to borrow a sword from him.
The guard was a little panicked and quickly turned to King Anglo and asked for instructions with his eyes.
Anglu frowned slightly, looked sideways and faced with anger, and the two nodded at the same time. They turned back to this side and said to Amur: "Amur, you are the lord of the city, how can you dance a sword in the palace? If you want to see it, just let the guards come up and perform!"
"Your Majesty, how can the guard's sword technique be as good as mine?" As Amuer spoke, he directly reached out to grab the sword of the guard in front of him and shouted, "Don't sit still and wait for death! The swords and axes outside are ready to rub their hands!"
After the words came, he drew his sword "swish", kicked the guard away, and rushed directly to the throne.
The moment he finished speaking, the city lords were already prepared, and they stood up and rushed to the guards in the rear as quickly as possible, and seized weapons.
This was unexpected. Anglo hurriedly stood up and retreated, shouting: "The thief is in trouble, kill him quickly!"
The general sent a rage to draw his sword to meet Amur and roared: "The traitor will die!"
The two of them fought each other with one sword.
Anglo retreated to the back, threw the wine glass to the ground, and shouted outside, "Where is the knife and axe master?!"
"Hula!" A group of swords and axes rushed in outside the hall and quickly rushed towards the city lords.
"Capture the king first!" Amur yelled while fighting fiercely with the rage, "Hold Anglo hostage and leave Na's capital!"
In fact, the nineteen city lords did not think of rebellion, but the king suddenly wanted to kill them and had to resist in order to survive. It would not be that when the king gave the order, everyone would take the initiative to let you cut off your head? They were not so stupid and loyal.
Although they took advantage of his unpreparedness to snatch the guard's weapons, a large number of swords and axes rushed in from outside, which still made them very scared. When they heard Amur's voice, they immediately reacted.
Yes! Only by hijacking King Anglo can you leave the palace and escape outside.
This is everyone’s only hope, who doesn’t want to live well?
As long as you escape from Nahu City and return to your respective cities, you don’t have to be afraid.
So when the swordsman rushed in, the city lords rushed towards King Anglo.
Anglo was shocked that this was no longer planned.
In fact, since Amur seized the guards' weapons and the city lords followed suit, it was different from the plan.
It seems that these guys have really rebelled, otherwise how could they have snatched weapons so simply? This is what I came here with the intention of murdering me from the beginning!
At the moment, he ran away and shouted: "Come here! Protect your car!"
The guards next to him immediately came to stop the city lords, and the sword and axe master rushed here quickly.
The problem is that none of the nineteen city lords have gained power by relying on their own military merits. No matter how poor the combat power is, they are stronger than ordinary guards. They quickly killed all the guards and successfully surrounded Anglo before the swordsman arrived.
Anglo is also good at it, but two fists cannot beat four hands, let alone more than a dozen people?
His weapon was knocked away by Tieman and was quickly stopped.
"Stop it!!" Tieman shouted loudly, "Everyone put down their weapons, otherwise Anglo's life would be unsuccessful!"
Angry didn't expect this to happen. He was slashed by Amur and his right arm was smashed to the ground with his weapon. He roared angrily: "Rebel traitor! Why don't you let go of Your Majesty?"
"Let him go, we will die!" Amur kicked him away, rushed to Tieman and shouted, "Get out of here, let us go immediately as long as we get outside the city! If you don't want to move out of here, it's amazing that everyone will die together!"
"No!!" Anglo's face was pale, "Everyone, I treat you very well, why do you..."
"To treat us well?" Amur pointed at the swordsman angrily, "You are going to kill us, we must let you behead your heads obediently? If you want to die, then die together! It is not a loss to have a king accompany you on the road. If you want to live, let them give up a way, as long as you get outside the city, you will naturally let you go!"
Anglo didn't believe it, and he said that when he was outside the city, you would kill me and flee back to the city, and directly raise an army to rebel.
But now that he has become a prisoner of the other party, there is no other way, so he can only nodge: "Don't be impulsive! Never be impulsive! This is a misunderstanding... hurry up, get out of here! hurry up and give up a way!"
The king ordered the soldiers looked at each other and then retreated one after another.
"Let's go!" Amur took the lead, and the nineteen city lords quickly left the palace with Anglo, and moved carefully outward surrounded by the constant appearance of palace guards.
Although the anger was injured, he was very worried about the king's safety and wondered how to save the king from the other party.
In his opinion, it was because he failed to make arrangements, which led to an accident and caused the king to be arrested. All of this was his own responsibility. He had to rescue the king and then kill all the city lords to eliminate future troubles forever.
The guards who kept gathering followed his orders and followed nervously, not daring to stay away at all.
The city lords were also guarding against the surroundings and did not dare to get too far away from the king. They directly used him as a shield to approach the city gate.
Finally arrived at the city gate smoothly, Amur shouted loudly: "Open the city gate!!"
"Can't open!" the anger roared hurriedly.
If the city gate is opened and the other party escapes outside, it will never be possible for the other party to let the king go.
"If you don't open the city gate, kill him now!" Amur said anxiously, holding his sword against Anglo's neck.
"Open the door! Open the door!" Anglo was panicked and hurriedly ordered.
Angry gritted his teeth, and there was no choice but to wave his hand.
After receiving the order, the city gate slowly opened.
The city lords breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the king was successfully held hostage and arrived outside the city, there would be a way to leave.
Both sides were on guard against each other, thinking carefully, and slowly moving out of the city.
When the nineteen city lords held Anglo and finally passed through the city gate and stepped on the land outside the city, a cold light suddenly flashed, and an arrow shot from unknown direction, penetrated Anglo's head with great accuracy.
"Your Majesty—!!" The anger was almost angry, his eyes were red and he fell into a state of rage, "Kill! Kill them for me!"
The nineteen city lords did not expect this situation to happen, and they were panicked for a moment. Faced with the guards surrounded by anger, they could only fight to the death.
The anger rushed outside and did not find who shot the hidden arrow. He endured the wound of the arm arrow and ordered the city lords to be killed first and the king's body was regained.
Taking the capital gate, a bloody storm swept over.
