Tuyuhun Royal City, palace.
Today was the birthday banquet of Fuyun Khagan, and the entire palace was filled with laughter and joy.
The tribal leaders from various places brought their families to participate. Of course, there were also envoys from other countries who came to give their blessings.
People came and went. Everyone who entered the banquet was dressed in luxurious clothes, wanting to show off their status.
But at this moment, a man and a woman appeared, causing everyone in the banquet to pale in comparison. Not even the birthday boy, Fuyun Khagan, could compare.
"Who are they?"
"Dressed in Tang suits, they are from the Great Tang!”
"As expected of someone from the Great Tang!"
“...”
The guests whispered among themselves as they explained, their gazes occasionally glancing at Li Chengyuan and Zhangsun Wugou.
Similarly, Fuyun Khagan was also sizing up the two.
He was very confused. He had influenced the Tang Emperor Li Yuan to reject the invitation to the birthday banquet, saying that he would only send an envoy.
But now, why was there such a couple?
This was obviously someone from the Great Tang Imperial Family!
Could it be that the Great Tang wanted to deepen its alliance with Tuyuhun?
Fuyun Khagan felt rather excited.
But as the saying went,"A starved camel is still bigger than a horse." No matter what, the Great Tang was incomparable to a small country like Tuyuhun.
It would be great if they could deepen their alliance!
For a moment, Fuyun Khagan smiled and shouted,"Men! The seat of honor! Let the two esteemed guests sit beside me!"
The surrounding guests were all surprised. After they reacted, they immediately cursed the old fox.
This Fuyun Khagan wanted to use this opportunity to pull closer to the Great Tang!
However, the others also looked at Li Chengyuan and the other man with interest, hoping that they would have a chance to discuss this matter.
Immediately, Li Chengyuan and Zhangsun Wugou became the focus of this banquet.
Zhangsun Wugou, who was being watched by everyone, subconsciously straightened her back due to her etiquette since she was young. However, she still frowned slightly and said in a low voice,"Chengyuan, everyone is watching. Your plan is going to fail!”
Li Chengyuan smiled faintly. By allowing him to sit beside Fuyun Khagan, wasn't that giving him the best position to assassinate?
He naturally held Zhangsun Wugou's waist and led her to Fuyun Khagan's side, whispering,""Then you are wrong. Fuyun Khagan has given me a great opportunity!”
Zhangsun Wugou's delicate body trembled as he was hugged by the waist. He was unable to think for a moment and allowed Li Chengyuan to bring him to his seat.
After the two of them took their seats, Fuyun Khagan did not delay and happily shouted,""Let the birthday banquet begin!"
As soon as Khagan Fuyun finished speaking, a flame streaked across the sky outside the palace.
Khagan Fuyun was stunned. What was going on? This light seemed to be some kind of signal!
"Khagan! Be careful!"
At this moment, the guard at the side shouted.
His voice was high-pitched and hurried, and everyone was startled as they turned to look at Fuyun Khagan.
What entered their eyes was a scene that made their scalps go numb!
On the throne, there was only a headless corpse that was spewing blood!
Beside the throne, a head was rolling, and upon closer inspection, it was the head of Fuyun Khagan!
The one who started it was Li Chengyuan, who was standing beside the throne and holding a hidden blade.
Everyone was stunned.
No one had expected that a guest of the Great Tang would suddenly attack and kill Fuyun Khagan!
Especially the other party's gaze, which was like a ferocious beast that would devour anyone it met.
！！！
The sudden change made everyone feel as if they were being pricked by needles, and a chill ran down their backs.
The guards in the palace shouted,"Assassins! Kill him!"
The guards surrounded him.
However, at this moment, dozens of people who were hiding among the guests rushed out. They raised their hidden swords and stabbed at the guards in front of them.
In a few breaths, only the guests were left in the banquet hall!
For a moment, everyone seemed to have thought of something and wanted to escape.
However, with a wave of Li Chengyuan's hand, the bloody massacre began once again. Screams filled the entire palace, and those who fled were all killed by the sword.
No one dared to escape.
Li Chengyuan stepped on the throne with one foot and looked around. He shouted,"I want to become the new king of the Western Regions! Who agreed? Who's against it?"
No one responded! No one wanted to die!
Of course, they weren't waiting for death. Some guards had escaped to report that they were waiting for Tuyuhun's army.
Li Chengyuan chuckled. He wasn't in a hurry. Zhuge Liang and the others were about to finish up.
Zhangsun Wugou's face no longer had the smile from before. She was well aware of Li Chengyuan's plan and everything that had happened outside the palace.
She suddenly realized that she had helped Li Chengyuan create a disaster because of some kind of "resentment".
She was personally giving Second Brother a powerful enemy!
For a moment, Zhangsun Wugou only hoped that Zhuge Wolong and the others would fail.
....
"We succeeded! Sir's medicine is really strong! Most of the soldiers in the camp have fainted!"
Outside the military camp of the Tuyuhun Kingdom, Su Dingfang looked at Zhuge Liang excitedly.
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said," Everything is within our calculations. Let's begin the purge. Don't let His Highness wait too long!"”
Su Dingfang nodded. A bloody killing intent flashed in his eyes. He blew the whistle and led the well-hidden white-robed army into the palace's military camp.
Zhuge Liang looked at the one-sided battle and smiled faintly.
It was too unchallenging.
Because the Khan was holding a birthday banquet, the military camp was also holding a party to reward the soldiers. He had the white-robed soldiers disguise themselves as military cooks and put knockout drugs in their food. In just a few moments, they had placed more than half of the Tuyuhun soldiers.
Su Dingfang and the others killed the Tuyuhun soldiers as if they were 'dead'. Only a small number of soldiers who were conscious became captives.
The news also spread to the palace.
Immediately, the face of the leader of Tuyuhun's tribe changed drastically. He shouted,"Kagu greets the new king!"
At that moment, everyone understood the current situation.
The old king of Tuyuhun is dead.
A new king should be established!
