Drunk House - Chapter 600
Chapter 600 Wan Anhou
After Su Rong left Wanren Mountain, he tied the letter written by the King of Nanchu to Feiying’s leg, and sent the letter to Wanniang. Ask her to send people to Xiling, transfer the 50,000 Xiling soldiers and horses privately raised by the King of Southern Chu, and quickly intercept the hidden piles of Wei. Another half of the hidden guards were sent, and they set off faster than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and set off ahead of time to the border of the Great Wei Dynasty.
50,000 cavalry, it will take half a month to go the shortest way.
Although Su Rong was very anxious, there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that Cheng Yun, seeing the letter from the King of Southern Chu, would be able to stop the hidden pile of Wei.
Nangong Yin was killed, causing the entire Nanchu King Capital to shake.
No one thought that Nangong Yin was actually killed in his mansion. Not only the courtiers, but also everyone in the Nangong family, and even the Queen Nangongxin.
After Nangong Xin heard the news that Nangong’s family entered the palace to report the funeral, she was very shocked. She was in a daze for a long time before she asked the reporter in disbelief, “What did you say?”
His elder brother was killed? Was killed in his mansion? This is too ridiculous.
The head of the Nangong family has controlled the entire Nangong family for many years. Since Nangongyin took over the affairs of the Nangong family at the age of fifteen, it has been more than 30 years. To put it bluntly, the king of Nanchu was killed. It’s much more believable that he was killed.
The person who reported the letter had a mournful face, with an expression of the sky falling, “Queen, it’s true, Lord Hou was really killed. The thief who killed Lord Hou brought a large number of killers, there were hundreds of them, I don’t know when After entering the capital, after midnight last night, I climbed over the wall and entered the mansion. At that time, Lord Hou was reading Mr. Zheng’s letter…”
“Where’s the guard in the mansion? Where’s the brother’s hidden guard?” Nangong Xin asked.
The person who reported the letter emphasized, “That man brought hundreds of killers, and all the hidden guards have been sent out. As the hidden guards of Lord Hou, there are not many left. Although there are hundreds of guards in the mansion, those people are very powerful. Someone used a poisonous concealed weapon. Hou Ye was hit by the sword first. The sword did not hurt the fatal point, but there was a poison dart that hurt Hou Ye. The poison was so overbearing that it took less than a stick of incense to poison him Those people were really vicious, they entangled with the guards in the mansion for a long time, and they didn’t leave until they confirmed that Master Hou died of poison.”
Nangong Xin shouted angrily, “Ridiculous.”
The person who reported the letter lowered his head, “My queen, the house is in chaos now, Lord Hou was killed, the second master next door was sent out by Lord Hou to lead the army, Young Master Zheng has already left Beijing, and the three young masters have been out. There is no one in charge in the Jingzhong family, the old lady and the wives passed out in grief, the culprit is at large, you see…”
Nangong Xin said with a sullen face, “You go back first, I will go back to the mansion right now.”
The messenger responded and left the palace.
Nangong Xin immediately ordered someone to show her off. King Nanchu is not in the palace, and she doesn’t need to ask anyone for instructions. In the past, she would have gone home to visit her relatives if she wanted to, but she was basically too lazy to go back. After all, she didn’t want to hear it either. The family said that she, the queen, has nothing to show for it.
For the sake of Yan Ruzhen, Chu Rong does not favor the women in her palace, what can she do?
If Chu Rong didn’t step into the harem, who would detain him? After all, he is the king of Nanchu. As long as the Nangong family does not turn against him for a day, they will not do such a thing of besieging the king.
Besides, she still needs face.
For so many years, her elder brother has not led people to persecute him openly and secretly, but he is almost imprisoned. Ask the king to reproduce, but what is the use? Chu Rong is so confused that he doesn’t even want Nan Chu Jiangshan anymore, so who can do anything to get him?
But she really didn’t expect that Yan Ruzhen would feign death and give birth to him a daughter.
After she got the news, with the intention of killing him quietly, she only sent someone out without telling her brother. Year after year, when she found out that she couldn’t kill the little girl, she didn’t know what was in her mind. , Did not ask my brother or family for help.
Maybe she didn’t want Chu Rong to be the real successor?
This is really a joke!
She liked Chu Rong back then, and was infatuated with him, but he fell in love with Yan Ruzhen, and for her he even gave the entire Southern Chu Kingdom to help the leader. At that time, the family was not as powerful as it is now. The Nangong family grew in power after the death of Yan Ruzhen, the death of the previous king, and the muddle-headed ten years after Chu Rong ascended the throne.
She thought back then that Chu Rong was willing to marry her as his queen after Yan Ruzhen died, and that one day he would be able to forget Yan Ruzhen. But unexpectedly, he just didn’t want the courtiers to bother him about setting up a concubine, just to silence the courtiers, just to appease the Nangong family and the courtiers, he made a concubine, but he didn’t at all Step into the harem.
She is infatuated, and in the day-to-day wear-and-tear, there is not much left.
She sometimes looked at Chu Rong and thought he was pitiful, but then thought, she pitied Chu Rong, who would pity her? He still has a daughter anyway, what does she have?
But if she said that she was unwilling to come over for so many years, she seemed to have disappeared, and all that was left was numbness.
Chu Rong has been out of the palace for more than two months. She doesn’t know whether he is dead or alive. If he dies, he deserves it. If he lives, it is his fate.
The chariot was ready soon, and Nangong Xin left the palace by car.
Walking out of the palace gate and returning to the Hou’s Mansion, Nangongxin looked at the plaque on the Marquis of Wan’an’s mansion, thinking that when Chu Rong granted her brother the title of Marquis of Wan’an, the word Wan’an made his brother very satisfied. With more than 10,000 people, even Ye Xiang had to take half a step back, but now, he was killed just like that in his own Wan’anhou Mansion.
He has always been conceited. He probably didn’t expect until his death that he would die in this way, that someone would dare to come to his own house to kill him.
There was a lot of crying in the mansion, and it was very miserable and panicked. The carriage parked at the door pulled out a long queue of two streets, probably all the courtiers who couldn’t believe it and came to confirm. You have to come and see for yourself to make people believe this fact.
Nangong Xin got off the carriage, walked all the way to the mansion, and soon came to the mourning hall, surrounded by countless people.
Nangong Yin’s body was not placed in a coffin, but laid flat on a platform in the mourning hall, because he hadn’t prepared a coffin for himself before his death, and there was only a coffin prepared for the old lady in the mansion, but the old lady passed out after hearing the news , still unconscious, I have to ask the old lady to see if her coffin should be embezzled first, otherwise, if I buy it now, it will be difficult to find the best one in a short time.
So, after Nangong Xin returned to the mansion, he saw such a situation. Countless courtiers gathered around the mourning hall, and they all confirmed that this was Lord Nangong Hou himself. He was really killed by someone breaking into the mansion.
The death was unexpected, and no one expected it.
After all, he is his own brother, how can he park it here so that everyone can come and admire his dead body. When Nangong Xin arrived, she saw the messy Hou’s mansion, her face turned cold, and she immediately ordered people angrily, “Go and carry out the coffin of the old lady, and please put the eldest brother into the coffin.”
