Chapter 614: Entering the Center of Imperial Power
It may take a lifetime to defeat an ace unit, but it only takes a moment to conquer an ace unit.
It took Xue Tianao and Dongfang Ningxin nearly a month to knock the Dragon Knight's pride and prestige to the bottom, but now it only took one move to make the Han Dragon Knight obediently surrender.
The moment Baili Yan fell, no one doubted that it was a fluke that Xue Tianao and Dongfang Ningxin won the Great Qin Dragon Knight.
It was a fluke to defeat a master of the fifth level of the God once, but what about twice?
If you want to make people obey you, you must first have the charm and strength to make people obey you. Xue Tian'ao has no shortage of the former, and Xue Tian'ao has just proven the latter.
After beating Baili Yan motionless, no one in the Han Dragon Knight team dared to talk nonsense. They all looked at Xue Tianao with admiration and conviction, and lowered their noble heads to express their loyalty to Xue Tianao...
In fact, such a look should have appeared a long time ago, but the way Xue Tianao made his name in the ancient world was unacceptable to the dragon knight.
If Xue Tian'ao hadn't destroyed the reputation of Dragon Knight and turned Dragon Knight into a joke, the Han Dragon Knight would have shown goodwill to Xue Tian'ao.
Reason told them to believe in Xue Tian'ao, but they couldn't accept it emotionally. The proud dragon knight became so vulnerable in front of Xue Tian'ao...
It's a pity that the dragon knight showed his loyalty at this time, but Xue Tianao ignored it, stepped forward, and launched a wave of zhenqi attacks at Baili Yan lying on the ground...
"ah……"
Everyone exclaimed, and a hint of fear flashed in the dragon knight's eyes.
They had long heard that Lord Tian'ao was cruel, but they didn't expect that Lord Tian'ao would be so merciless to the loser...
Regarding Xue Tianao's actions, Baili Yan showed no trace of struggle or anger and closed his eyes calmly. At this time, he had no ability to struggle. The only thing he could do was to calmly wait for death to come.
Although I felt unwilling in my heart, I was angry and ignored it in Bailiyan, because the moment I lost, I was destined to have such a result.
Only the winner has the right to live, but the weak do not. Many people died at the hands of Baili Yan in duels in the past, so why would it be abnormal for Baili Yan to die in his place today...
But soon everyone understood what it means to judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. They saw a cold qi sweep across, and the silver needle in Bailiyan's acupuncture point fell out with a "puff". Xue Tianao
He raised his hand and put away the silver needle in just the blink of an eye...
The dragon knight couldn't bear to see the tragic death of his general, so he closed his eyes the moment Xue Tianao took action. Bailiyan himself was waiting for death calmly. He only felt a breath of air blowing past him, and he didn't know anything after that.
Already...
Apart from Xuetian Ao, Dongfang Ningxin and his entourage, the only insider is probably the burly veteran Wang Lang. The moment the silver needle was forced out of Baili Yan's body, Wang Lang's eyes shone with incredible light...
Looking at Xue Tian'ao, he didn't know what to say for a moment. He couldn't believe what he saw before him. The cold and arrogant Mr. Xue Tian'ao in front of him could actually use his methods, and he was so perfect.
But then Wang Lang's eyes flashed with admiration and determination. He admired Xue Tian'ao's ability to assess the situation and firmly stand on Xue Tian'ao's side.
Only people like Xue Tianao can become kings. People who insist on being aboveboard will only end up in a miserable death unless they have a strong backing.
When strength is absolutely unfair, those who still talk to others about fair and square tactics will either have their brains kicked by a donkey or they will be born with their brains on the ground first.
Victory is inherently uncompromising, stained with blood, and a general's success will be reduced to bones. The road to kingship is paved with blood and corpses. If you don't cheat on others, just wait to be cheated by others...
"You..." Bailiyan didn't feel the pain before death for a long time. He opened his eyes carefully. After all, waiting for death was really uncomfortable. But as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the expressionless Xue Tianao standing in front of him.
.
Xue Tianao didn't say anything, but said coolly: "You lost, the dragon knight is nothing more than that."
Contempt and disdain, although Xue Tianao has always looked down on the dragon knight who was not very powerful but extremely arrogant, he had never shown it so obviously.
Baili Yan was originally grateful for Xue Tian'ao's actions, but was suppressed by Xue Tian'ao's words:
"You can insult me, but please don't insult the Dragon Knights. They are the best existences and the sharp knives of the empire. They have made great contributions to the Empire in every battle. Without the Dragon Knights, there would be no current empire."
Baili Yan lost, he admitted it, and was willing to accept Xue Tian'ao as his new master, but he couldn't watch his proud title of dragon knight being so insulted by Xue Tian'ao, even if Xue Tian'ao had this
strength.
"Frog in the well, you think the dragon knights are strong because you have never seen anyone stronger." After Xue Tianao left these words, he turned around indifferently. He never even glanced at the so-called dragon knights from beginning to end.
It was obvious that Xue Tian'ao disdained them. To put it more broadly, Xue Tian'ao disdained their surrender.
Such a move made the dragon knights feel that their self-esteem was greatly injured. The surrender they sent to their door was not accepted. The dragon knights secretly said one by one that they must prove it to Xue Tianao. Even if they were defeated by Xue Tianao, they
They are also the best army. There is no army stronger than them in this world...
During the next journey, dragon knights would occasionally sway in front of Xue Tian'ao, Dongfang Ningxin and their group, with obvious intentions. Unfortunately, Dongfang Ningxin and Xue Tian'ao remained unmoved.
Wang Lang watched the Dragon Knight being frustrated everywhere, and he was in a good mood.
The dragon knights are used to being arrogant. It is not easy for the dragon knights to put down their pride and dignity to please others. They only respect the Snow Emperor and do not want to please...
This situation did not change until they returned to the Great Emperor's capital. Not only did the Dragon Knights work harder to deal with the rebellion caused by the change of imperial power in order to let Xue Tian'ao, Dongfang Ningxin and others see the strength of the Dragon Knight,
.
Rebellion?
Yes, the emperor of the Han Empire died half a year ago, and the Snow Emperor had been the regent before that. Everyone in the Han Empire knew that the Snow Emperor’s preferred heir was the third princess, but in the Han Dynasty women were not allowed to inherit the throne.
Therefore, the Snow Emperor's previous idea was to find someone to marry the third princess, so that her husband could ascend the throne as the emperor, and then the son born to the third princess would be established as the prince.
Although there is a suspicion that the imperial power will be occupied by outsiders, it will eventually be classified as orthodox. Although the Han Empire is dissatisfied, the dissatisfied voice can only gradually disappear under the pressure of the Snow Emperor's blood and iron...
However, the Snow Emperor was very strict about the choice of the third princess's husband. For more than half a year, he had not decided on a candidate. He finally fell in love with Xue Tian'ao, but it was a pity that Xue Tian'ao was unmoved. Not to mention that the Han Empire was just for Xue.
Tian Ao all over the world, Xue Tian Ao refused without raising his eyebrows...
But now?
A month ago, the Snow Emperor suddenly left the imperial capital and left the three princesses to handle state affairs. When he returned to the imperial capital, the situation changed, and the entire royal family of the Han Empire faced an unprecedented disaster...
As the regent, the Snow Emperor issued an edict to make Han Lin, the ten-year-old young prince of the Han Dynasty, the new emperor of the Han Dynasty. The other royal bloodline either committed suicide or went to guard the imperial mausoleum of the Han Dynasty, and would never be allowed to leave the imperial mausoleum.
After this edict, everyone in the Han royal family was in danger, and everyone cried and made trouble, but no matter how much they cried or made trouble, they could not change their fate, because the Snow Emperor would never be accommodating.
Those who resisted died under the sword of the dragon knight. Those who accepted their fate were also sent to the imperial mausoleum by the dragon knight, and a team of one hundred dragon knights was left there to monitor. The Snow Emperor wanted to ensure that no one from the Han royal family was wandering.
There is a possibility for people with bloodline to come out.
The dragon knight dealt with this series of chaos very quickly, and the effect was extremely obvious...
But just when the dragon knight was complacent, an accident happened...
The third princess, who could have become the real controller of imperial power behind the scenes of the Han Dynasty, is unwilling to end up in this situation.
But her being favored by the Snow Emperor means that she is an extremely smart person. Of course, her being favored by the Snow Emperor as his apprentice has nothing to do with her personality or ability. It is purely because the three princesses have a nine-point portrait of Princess Qingyun.
s face.
This is why the Snow Emperor indulges these three princesses. They are just likenesses. The Snow Emperor has never confused the three princesses with Princess Qingyun. In the eyes of the Snow Emperor, the third princess is just a person who tells him what Princess Qingyun looks like.
It's just the prices...
Faced with the Snow Emperor's sudden decision, the third princess silently accepted the Snow Emperor's arrangement. Just when everyone thought the third princess had accepted her fate, an accident happened.
The day before the dragon knight escorted the third princess to the imperial mausoleum, the third princess broke through the dragon knight's heavy defense, grabbed the ten-year-old new emperor, and broke into the mansion where the Snow Emperor and Xue Tian'ao temporarily lived.
The Snow Emperor gave unconditional indulgence to these three princesses, but the premise was that the three princesses had always been as indifferent and noble as Princess Qingyun.
Unfortunately, the Snow Emperor was disappointed when the three princesses took the new emperor as a hostage. The Snow Emperor looked at the three princesses in front of him, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and the expressionless dragon knights surrounded the three princesses and the new emperor.
The ten-year-old new emperor behaved quite calmly in the face of such a situation. Princess Ren's sword pressed a bloody mark on his neck without any trace of panic or fear.
When Xue Tianao and Dongfang Ningxin stood opposite the third princess and saw the little new emperor, a trace of pity flashed in their eyes.
The new emperor of the Han Dynasty is already ten years old, but he does not look as tall as the little dragon. He is thin and short, and his face is unhealthy and pale. His eyes at such a young age reveal sadness and death...
With just one glance, Dongfang Ningxin and Xue Tianao understood that this child was not having a good life in the palace, even though he had become the master of this country.
In addition to the deathly silence, the ten-year-old new emperor's eyes also had a hint of insight. He seemed to understand very well that the Snow Emperor and even these dragon knights did not care about his life or death.
He knew very well that his life or death was not important. After he died, it would be enough to appoint someone with royal blood. He was only chosen because he was the weakest...
Xue Tianao and Dongfang Ningxin were never philanthropists, but after having Xiao Xiaoao, they felt an inexplicable pity for their children.
Even though this new emperor is an enemy to them, at this moment Xue Tian'ao and Dongfang Ningxin feel pity. This pity determines that Dongfang Ningxin and Xue Tian'ao will not let the third princess hurt him...
"Third princess, let the emperor go. We can pretend that nothing has happened. You continue to go to your imperial mausoleum." Dongfang Ningxin saw that the Snow Emperor had no intention of speaking, so she had to step forward and said to the third princess, because Dongfang Ningxin saw that
The body of the new emperor of Han Dynasty was trembling.
Even if you accept your fate of death, you will still be afraid. No adult can be fearless of death, let alone a child.
The third princess, when she is not talking, or when she is not crazy, she is absolutely a beauty that will captivate the whole country, but at this time, her crazy eyes, messy hair, and distorted face completely destroy her beauty.
Destroying her last bargaining chip.
Facing such a third princess, the Snow Emperor would not show any mercy.
"None of this happened? You said it so easily. Are you Dongfang Ningxin?" The third princess was shocked when she saw the coldness in the Snow Emperor's eyes, but she gritted her teeth and held on.
She can't lose. If she loses, she will have nothing. She is the most noble princess of the empire and the master of the empire. Why has everything changed in just one month?
The country and power she had acquired were all gone. Not only that, she had to stay in the cold imperial tomb for the rest of her life. How could she accept this...
"I am."
The third princess is today, and she should also blame the Snow Emperor. It was the Snow Emperor who gave her too much hope, and now the Snow Emperor has shattered her hopes. How could she not go crazy?
The third princess smiled mockingly, her eyes flashing with jealousy and madness: "Dongfang Ningxin, you, give me back your man, you two shameless people robbed me of everything, and you actually have the nerve to talk to me here.
Nothing ever happened.
Didn't it happen? How could it not happen? I am going from being a princess to being the guardian of the mausoleum. How can you let me pretend that everything has never happened? It's you, it's you. It's because of your appearance that I am in this situation...
…”
The third princess yelled crazily, pulling the thin new emperor in front of her one step forward, applying another three points of force to the sword around the little emperor's neck, and shouted angrily:
"Who is he? A child of a palace girl, a bastard, a child not recognized by the Han royal family, why should he become the new emperor? Why should he? He didn't do anything, just took everything from me..."
The third princess cried while talking. She didn't know who to blame.
Originally, she was just a simple princess. The Snow Emperor gave her hope, but now her hope has been shattered.
Why, why is this happening...
Obviously the master is very indulgent to her, and he will let her do whatever she does and pamper her, but now everything has changed.
Just because of Dongfang Ningxin and Xue Tianao, the appearance of these two people made the master drop everything and rush to the border, making the master change his decision.
Who is the master? He is cold-blooded and ruthless. No matter right or wrong, the master never changes his decision, even when facing her, the most beloved disciple.
The master said, once you make a decision, don’t regret it. Even if you make a mistake, you should make the right decision. If you hit the south wall, break it down...
She is very obedient and well-behaved, and she remembers everything her master says.
She wants to be queen, so anyone who stands in her way deserves to die, deserves to die...
The third princess looked at the people in front of her crazily. Dongfang Ningxin deserved to die, Xue Tianao deserved to die, the little emperor in front of her also deserved to die, and everyone who stood in her way deserved to die...
