In particular, the flying sword he controlled turned out to be asymmetrical from left to right, with the center of gravity mainly on the line of the sword's spine. Due to the static imbalance of the structure, its dynamic changes were even more bizarre, unpredictable, and completely impossible to predict using common sense.

Its trajectory has made many swordsmen thoughtful and deeply inspired.

However, unlike the previous competitions, Emperor Yuanwu at this moment on the sword-watching platform high up did not seem to take the matter of "Ye Ce Leng" to his heart. He just closed his eyes and rested his mind, adjusted his breath and concentrated his energy.

I took advantage of this free time to swallow a spiritual pill and practice silently.

It wasn't until a young man wearing an ordinary blue satin robe, who looked to be only in his twenties, with a gentle and peaceful expression, slowly walked onto the stage and bowed to salute, he opened his eyes and turned to look at the other party.

, looked at it for a moment.

Apart from his relatively tall features, this young man has a very ordinary face. He does not have any accessories on his body, nor is he wearing a long sword. His long hair is like that of ordinary Qin people, tied up casually with a cloth belt.

Behind his back, he invisibly exudes an otherworldly aura.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Naturally, he was the one Yuanwu specially asked to call here. After the Chu Dynasty captured Yangshan County nine years ago, he was sent to the capital of Qin.

Ling, the hostage given as a condition of the armistice covenant, was replaced by Lord Liling of the Qin State's six hundred miles of fertile land.

As we all know, apart from his status as the son of an emperor, Lord Liling's experience can even be described as "bleak".

His mother was a music girl in the palace. She was favored by Emperor Chu and gave birth to Lord Liling. However, she was sentenced to death a few years later because she spoke against Emperor Chu.

In order to keep out of sight, Emperor Chu randomly sealed a fiefdom that no one liked and sent Lord Liling away to keep him away from his sight. It is said that this was the result of someone in the court admonishing him. Otherwise, based on Emperor Chu's character,

Maybe there was a secret order for Lord Li Ling to follow his deceased mother directly.

However, even though the fiefdom obtained by Lord Liling was far away from the royal city of the Chu Dynasty, far enough to be forgotten, when the Chu Dynasty needed a prince as a hostage in exchange for the city of the Qin Dynasty, the Chu Emperor

I immediately thought of him!

Everyone knows that the fate of protons in most countries is bleak.

For those emperors who control the life and death of countless armies and practitioners, when the war begins, they will never care about the life or death of their least favorite son.

However, as a Chu native who came from afar and did not have much wealth, in less than ten years in Changling, Lord Liling had already become a very important figure.

He has over a thousand diners, including hundreds of practitioners.

Most people, including many officials in Changling, don't know how he was able to slowly climb up from the position of an outcast to his current position in Changling, but Yuanwu clearly understands that the other party should be

He had already reached a limited cooperation with Zheng Xiu and sold some of the secrets of the Chu Dynasty.

After briefly glancing at this young man who had not seen him for several years, Chu Zhizi, who once symbolized the shame of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Yuanwu also had some inexplicable meaning in his eyes, as if he was sighing.

It seemed like a mockery. After a while, he slowly asked:

"You know, thirty years ago, I was also a hostage trapped in Yingcheng, the capital of Chu. Because of our defeat in the war with North Korea during that period, I was forced to give it to you, Chu, as a bargaining chip for peace, and I was stranded in a foreign country.

, suffered all the humiliation and cold looks?”

"At that time, I was surrounded by many dignitaries like you when you first entered Changling, and I was looked at, judged, and even wantonly humiliated. However, I could only suppress my anger and murderous intent, and responded to them one by one with a smile.

, that feeling of being powerless to struggle and being slaughtered by others is still fresh in my memory."

When Lord Li Ling heard this, his expression changed slightly. He didn't understand why Yuan Wu suddenly mentioned such a past event and what his intention was.

He thought in his heart that Qin was defeated both times. Why did Yuan Wu become the hostage first, and then he was unlucky? However, he could only follow the opponent's words, bowed his head and said:

"Your Majesty's celestial appearance, talents and strategies are unparalleled by this minister. In the past, he was trapped in the fields, just waiting for the wind to blow. One day, he will soar to the nine heavens, and the whole world will be shocked."

"Now that His Majesty has arrived at Dabao, he is rich all over the world and reigns over all the deserts. He can fully express his ambitions, realize his lofty ideals, create unparalleled great achievements, and his name will go down in history and be praised by future generations."

"It's just that everyone's life experiences are different. Even if they have similar experiences, they may not make the same choice and go on the same path. I know that I don't have the talent and tenacity of your Majesty. What I want is nothing more.

It’s just four words: ‘settle down and live life’.”

"But I don't know, what is the purpose of Your Majesty suddenly mentioning these old things to me today?"

Li Lingjun has obviously rehearsed this rhetoric many times. When he spoke it, his tone was calm, and no strange emotions could be heard. It was as if he was sincerely praising and envying Emperor Yuanwu, and at the same time he was praising his own situation.

And I feel sad and helpless.

His voice is gentle and magnetic, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, which can easily make people feel good.

"Oh, you don't have to be so humble."

Emperor Yuanwu chuckled lightly. Naturally, he did not believe a word of Li Lingjun's "heartfelt words". He just continued to ask: "Xiong Han, do you know why we are both protons, but I can break through many obstacles?"

Obstacle, return to the country and inherit the throne?"

The name "Xiong Han" has not been called by anyone for many years, so when Lord Li Ling heard it for the first time, he couldn't help being slightly stunned. It took him a while to realize that this should be his real name.

There was also a look of sadness and reminiscence on his face.

However, he did not say anything more about this, but quickly recovered his mood, lowered his head again, and thought about his reply: "Because your Majesty is the legitimate eldest prince, he has the qualifications and reputation to inherit the throne of Qin."

point."

"Although I also have the identity of a prince of Chu, I am just a concubine. I have never been loved by my father. I have no fundamental influence in the court. Even if I return to the country, it will be difficult to change anything, let alone get involved with the supreme king.

position."

This set of rhetoric has also been turned over in Lord Li Ling's mind countless times, and he has long been familiar with it. Now he said it very smoothly and naturally, without any hesitation or pause.

"Although he is a prince of Chu who was born as a concubine, among the fifteen princes still alive in the Chu Kingdom, which one is not a concubine?"

"From this point of view, Xiong Han has no chance at all. Otherwise, how could you have spent so much time recruiting followers, making friends with courtiers, and accumulating strength over the years in Changling? Even the reputation spread outside is almost the same as

I am among the thirteen princes of Great Qin."

Yuanwu glanced at Li Lingjun lightly, feeling the instant mood changes of the other person and the aroma of the medicine used to dye his hair black. He knew that in the past few days, he had been so sad that his hair turned gray. He couldn't help but feel it.

He chuckled, shook his head, and continued leisurely:

"Actually, I have always seen what you have done, and I have not interfered too much. After all, people share the same heart and reason. As the son of Emperor Chu, naturally you cannot really be willing to do so.

Stay in Changling forever and be your hostage for the rest of your life."

"It's a pity that if you stay here for a long time, when Concubine Zhao Xiang's son is officially born and your father appoints him as the crown prince, in order to eliminate potential dangers, even a proton thousands of miles away may not be able to

Survived."

"Your situation can be said to be extremely dangerous and precarious..."

"A decree comes to force you to commit suicide, or someone in the Chu Dynasty slanders you, saying that you have befriended Qin officials in Changling, raised dead soldiers, and have evil intentions. What should you do? Most likely, you can only take this step.

Your fifth brother and eleventh brother must have followed in your footsteps!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Lingjun's body trembled violently, obviously because Yuan Wu said what was most worrying in his heart.

The Qin spies teamed up with two Chu princes to cause rebellion in the capital of Ying, and were killed along with many important ministers. Although they were far apart, there was a tendency to block it and prevent it from being leaked. However, as time went by, the news finally got through.

.

It's just that Lord Liling was infiltrated by people sent by Zheng Xiu like a sieve, and many of his retainers were actually from Jiaodong County. When they fell into his ears, some details had been changed and misled.

Coupled with the fact that a lot of money was paid to bribe the palace staff, during the analysis, it was reasonably "guessed" that this should be Zhao Xiangfei, the only favorite of the Chu Emperor. Because she obtained the secret medicine of the new "National Preceptor", she finally became pregnant.

He has already reserved the throne for his own child.

It was just to ensure that after the young prince came to the throne in the future, the threatening royal brothers would not take advantage of their seniority and cultivation to temporarily lead, unite to launch a rebellion, or be supported by the courtiers, so they took action in advance.

Designed and produced this major case that shocked both the government and the public.

And the next direction of things seems to verify the correctness of this "speculation".

Shortly after the execution of the two princes, the Emperor of Chu generously rewarded the members of Zhao Xiangfei's family. Even the remnants of Zhao State in the territory received a lot of favors. For a time, his power was as high as the sky.

Preconceptions, coupled with a series of new news that was difficult to tell whether it was true or false, made Li Lingjun worried and couldn't sleep all night, because he knew very well that the more prosperous his business has become in recent years and his reputation has spread far and wide, when

Under this situation, it has become more and more like a reminder to the body.

Even last night, Li Lingjun, the most relied-upon and the only grandmaster-level worshiper from the Chu region in the house, left a secret letter with clever words and disappeared.

Although this guy was actually sent by Zheng Xiu to arrange the scene for the assassination and forged the letter, but in the eyes of Lord Li Ling, this guy saw that there was no hope for him anymore, so he gave up this guy directly.

The dangerous building was "about to collapse" and he fled overnight.

It has to be said that when the gap between strength and power is too big, there is no need for much ingenuity in the design to easily play with people's hearts and applaud them, making them suspicious, frightening, and scaring themselves.

When he heard that Yuan Wu further confirmed the authenticity of the matter, Lord Li Ling couldn't help but feel shocked. His face was extremely pale, and there were faint beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead. He stared at the other party with complicated eyes, as if he wanted to learn from it.

I saw some clues on the surface and tried to analyze new information and ways out.

Some opportunities are fleeting and may never come back in a lifetime.

But the price he had to pay was too heavy, so heavy that he could hardly bear it.

He sluggishly scratched the gray hair on his temples that had been dyed black before going out. Feeling the feeling of the hair flowing like flowing water between his fingers, he felt miserable in his heart, knowing that he was probably really old. Finally, he let out a long sigh.

He showed a helpless smile:

"The mountains and rivers are far away, and there is no hope of returning. Will Xiong Han really be able to return to his homeland in this life?"

"What's so difficult about this?"
