Chapter 50
After hearing the imperial edict, all the Imperial Guards retreated one after another to make way for Yicheng, but everyone looked at Yicheng with vigilance in their eyes.
Seeing this situation, Yicheng showed a smile and walked towards the Jinluan Palace.
Yi Cheng walked through the road vacated by the imperial guards and came to the front of the palace. When Yi Cheng saw all the civil and military officials in the court looking at him, he walked forward calmly.
When they came to the white jade steps under the emperor's throne, they saw Zhou Kang and several generals standing in front of Yicheng. Yicheng stopped moving forward and stopped there, looking at the emperor of Qi. In front of him was the nearly four-year-old emperor.
The ten-year-old man, wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head, was sitting on the throne with a majestic look on his face, and he was also looking at himself.
This is the enemy who killed his father, causing his mother and son to be displaced, and his family to be destroyed.
Yicheng's whole body began to exude murderous aura again, and as the blood stains on his body were not removed at this time, he looked very cold and stern, which made the generals in front of him even more nervous.
I saw Zhou Kang coming up from the front and saying, "Yicheng, what do you want to do?"
Yicheng glanced at Zhou Kang indifferently, not caring about his words at all, but still looking at Xiaobai with murderous intent.
After a long time, Xiaobai was the first to speak: "Yicheng, you are very good. You are worthy of being the queen of the generals. Compared with your father, you are more outstanding. I have seen countless people. Regardless of martial arts, courage, or strategy, you are the best."
It's a pity that you can't be used by me. It's a real loss for all the people in the world. Today you are here as the general of the Chu Kingdom. Why you came here can now be said."
Hearing this, Yicheng sneered and said: "Don't you know why I'm here? The hatred of the country and the family. Today, on behalf of the soldiers of the Chu State who died in the battle, and on behalf of the countless widows and orphans who were displaced and died tragically on the way to escape, Yi Cheng paid tribute to you, the self-proclaimed
A benevolent king seeks justice."
"You shouldn't let the Imperial Guards get out of the way. Although those people are useless, they can still consume some of my strength. These generals in front of me cannot protect your safety."
After saying that, Yicheng walked directly towards Xiaobai. Zhou Kang and the generals behind him drew their swords out of their sheaths and stepped forward to stop Yicheng.
However, although these people were elite in marching and fighting, their martial arts were not outstanding. Except for Zhou Kang and the other two martial sects, they were all martial arts masters.
Yicheng just treated these people as if they were nothing. He didn't even bother to take out his sword from its sheath, so he just used the scabbard to knock these people away one by one.
Yicheng defeated the generals and walked towards the white jade steps step by step. On the steps was the emperor's throne. Yicheng's face was cold and stern, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and the ministers were all panicked and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Zuo Guanyi walked out of the crowd, stood in front of Yi Cheng, and said to Yi Cheng: "Master Yi, if you harm His Majesty today, the world will be in chaos, and all the people will be displaced. How will Master Yi feel at ease?"
The great man should think of all the people. How can he put all the people in water and fire with a single selfish thought? Think twice, Master Yi!"
Hearing this, Yicheng looked at the old Zuo Guanyi in front of him, laughed loudly and said: "I, Yicheng, have never called myself a hero, and I can't afford it. I act with a clear conscience. Do you really think that if you die as a little white boy, you will die?"
Is there a big chaos? It's just a change of emperor. How can I not avenge my hatred for destroying the country and killing my father? I will kill Xiaobai today!"
After saying that, he stepped onto the white jade steps. Although Guan Yi was a civil servant, he had no fear at this moment and was still standing in front of Yicheng.
Seeing that Yicheng was about to bump into Guan Yi when he took a step forward, he heard a voice from among the ministers: "Brother Xiao, do you still remember Zhang Sheng?"
I saw Zhang Sheng, my old friend who worked with Yicheng in Cangzhou to deal with the severe drought in Cangzhou, came to Yicheng and stood with Zuo Guanyi.
Hearing this, Yicheng's face softened slightly and said: "It turns out to be Brother Zhang. Back then, Yi had no choice but to deceive. Don't blame Brother Zhang. Will Brother Zhang stop me today?"
Zhang Sheng showed a wry smile and said: "Zhang Sheng, how can He De stop you? I just recall how righteous and high-spirited Brother Yi was in Canghai Tower back then. I just don't want Brother Yi's reputation as a hero to be ruined in one day, and for the hundreds of people who survived in Cangzhou."
Thousands of people, countless civilians in the world, beg Brother Yi to put aside his grudges and think of the common people."
After Zhang Sheng bowed deeply and bowed down, all the civil and military officials in the palace also said in unison: "Master Yi, please put aside your grudges and think about the common people!"
Yi Cheng looked at His Highness and the officials, with a trace of hesitation in his heart. He slowly looked at the emperor who was still showing no fear on the throne, and said to Zhang Sheng: "Brother Zhang is disappointed. Yi will not kill Xiao Bai. I am ashamed of myself."
Father, I am ashamed of the countless orphans and widowed mothers who have died."
After saying this, Zhang Sheng passed by the two of them without waiting for a reaction, and stepped onto the steps step by step.
Zhang Sheng and Guan Yi were about to step forward to stop him again, but then they heard the emperor say: "You guys, please step back and let General Yi come up. You can't stop him?"
Hearing this, Zhang Sheng and Guanyi stopped, but there was a look of worry on his face.
Yi Cheng walked through the ninety-five steps, which symbolized the emperor's majesty, and stood in front of Xiao Bai, looking directly at the king. Yi Cheng said: "There should be a few people missing. Let them all come out."
As soon as Yicheng finished speaking, two people walked out from behind the throne, it was Zhao Deyuan and Zhao Tianci.
After the two walked out, they stood directly in front of the emperor, blocking Yicheng.
Zhao Deyuan cupped his fists and said to Yi Cheng: "General Yi, please remember the past friendship and let it go!" His tone was full of pleading.
Yicheng didn't look at him, just stared at his brother and said, "You finally made a decision, that's good."
Zhao Tianci said: "Yes, brother, I have a grudge against the emperor for killing my father. The Zhao family has been kind to me in raising me, and my master Gu Nanxin has taught me wholeheartedly. This leaves me with no choice. But putting aside the grudges,
Brother, the emperor cannot die and the heavens cannot be in chaos."
What Zhao Tianci said was true and he obviously came from his heart and was not someone else's instigator.
Yi Cheng smiled at Zhao Tianci and said: "You have grown up and made your own decisions, which is good. Since you have chosen to protect the emperor today, our brothers will have to fight each other. Didn't you always want to fight with me?
A fight? Use all your strength!"
He then said to the emperor: "Is this your last resort? If this is all you have, you will still die today." After that, he walked towards the emperor step by step.
Zhao Tianci looked hesitant, wondering whether to take action against his eldest brother. Although he was not an easy opponent, he knew that he was the only one who could stop his eldest brother now. There were no masters around the emperor anymore.
Zhao Tianci seemed to have made up his mind and took out the sword in his hand. This sword was a relic left by Gu Nanxin. Yi Cheng handed it to Zhao Tianci. At this moment, Zhao Tianci held the sword that his master used to use and faced him.
The eldest brother protects his father-killing enemy.
No one knew the pain in his heart.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, the emperor said: "God forbid you to retreat. If for my safety, your brothers are allowed to kill each other, how can I face all the people?"
Then he faced Yi Chengdao: "My last reliance is not the tens of thousands of imperial troops, nor the hundreds of officials present or God's gift, but you, the morality in your heart. Although I ordered the execution of countless soldiers of the Chu State, I
I don’t regret it. For the sake of the unification of the world, death and injury are necessary. If I don’t kill them, they will kill our Qi soldiers. War is the most ruthless, so we can only stop killing with killing. I am here today. If you want to do something for me,
Father, avenge the dead and wounded soldiers of Chu State, I am waiting for you!"
