How can the majestic Daliang City, where the imperial city of the Daqian Dynasty is located, allow others to show off their power and act recklessly? What do those silver-armored guards do for a living? How can such people expect them to protect their own safety and security in the future? Interest in property?
Just when Shen Ao was still feeling ashamed of the Silver Armored Guard's performance, a strong wind suddenly came from behind him, followed by a shout, "Master, be careful."
A beautiful figure was even faster, rushing past Shen Ao and running towards his back.
The ones who shouted were Shi Lei, Feng Xun and others, and the one who rushed out was Bai Qiutong. She was standing right in front of Shen Ao, so she could clearly see the scene where Lin came flying with a saber.
At this time, Shen Ao also heard the whistling wind behind him, and then turned around quickly. But no matter how fast he reacted, he would have lost the opportunity to attack Chu Lin at this time.
Chu Lin's dying blow could be said to have used all his strength and struck preemptively. As soon as Shen Ao turned around, he was already behind him, and the saber stabbed straight at Bai Qiutong who was blocking Shen Ao.
At this time, Shen Ao had just finished turning around. It would take more than a breath to jump up. But reality would not give him a chance. He could only watch the saber getting closer and closer to Bai Qiutong's chest. The closer, the closer.
"ah!"
A shrill scream came out, resounding throughout the entire Xianweiju hall.
Chu Lin fell to the ground and felt the pain in his back that penetrated his bones. He really couldn't understand why he was about to succeed, but suddenly someone fired a hidden weapon at him, and he didn't know what flew into his body. Back, all the strength he had just accumulated was dispersed invisibly.
Among the people watching the excitement, three figures stood there with calm expressions. They were Ao Qi, Ao Ba and Ao Jiu who were sent by Aoxue to protect Shen Ao. Just now, it was Ao Jiu who took action and picked up the items at random. A stone he picked up was thrown out with a hidden weapon and pierced into Chu Lin's body, causing him to lose his strength in mid-air and lose the ability to fight.
Shen Ao didn't know this. When he was blaming himself, he saw Chu Lin falling to the ground from the air. Seeing that Bai Qiutong was fine, when he felt lucky, he was not polite at all. He walked past Bai Qiutong in big steps, When he came to the side of Chu Lin who was lying on the ground, he hooked his right foot and the saber entered his hand. Then he swung it without any hesitation. As soon as the light of the saber appeared, a stream of blood spattered out.
Before the unlucky Chu Lin could figure out what was going on, he felt a cold feeling on his neck, and then his artery was cut, and blood flowed out uncontrollably. He also tried to block the wound with his hands, but to no avail. , after several consecutive twitches, the person slowly stopped struggling, fell to the ground and could not get up again.
Shen Ao killed Chu Lin very neatly. Although this was his first time killing someone, he didn't feel any discomfort at all. After all, if he hadn't killed Chu Lin, who knows he wouldn't have come back so soon. He was so close just now. Bai Qiutong is about to die in front of him. If this happens, it will be something he can never forgive.
"Why are you so stupid? Why do you want to block the knife? It will kill someone." Shen Ao turned around and looked at Bai Qiutong, with a hint of sternness and concern in his voice.
"The slave family will never allow anyone to hurt the young master unless he steps over the slave family's body." Bai Qiutong looked directly into Shen Ao's eyes and said this naturally, then quickly lowered his head, thinking in his heart I was thinking to myself, was I confessing my love just now?
"Hey, it won't be allowed in the future. The young master knows kung fu, so he can kill not just if he wants to, but you are different. Do you understand?" Shen Ao said very calmly in the face of Bai Qiutong's passionate love. Qian'er's matter There has long been a shadow in his heart, the more beautiful a woman is, the less trustworthy she is. Now this belief seems to be broken because of the appearance of Bai Qiutong.
"Master." Shi Lei, Feng Xun, Geng Liang, Tie Long and others rushed over and stood guard around Shen Ao, fearing that if someone killed him, Shen Ao would be hurt.
"Well, you guys are here just in time. Carry this body out and send it to the Yamen. Don't let this bloody energy rush to Xianweiju and affect our business." Shen Ao's attention turned to the guards and made arrangements in a deep voice.
Shen Ao already knew the identities of these troublemakers, and they turned out to be King Jin's men. Presumably someone was killed here today, and King Jin will definitely not give up. But he has no regrets. Anyone who wants to die, no matter who comes No matter who the person is, he will resist regardless of his identity. If you want to die yourself, then see who is stronger and kill whoever first.
"No." After Shi Lei and others agreed with clasped fists, they sent someone to lift up the dead Chu Lin. It is worth mentioning that among the more than 40 Jin troops, in addition to Chu Lin, there were two soldiers who resisted because of their resistance. It was too fierce, and they were seriously injured by the guards of the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion. They are now dead. More than 30 people suffered varying degrees of minor or serious injuries, but no lives were lost. In the end, only seven people saw the opportunity quickly. He knelt down and surrendered, thus avoiding the pain of his flesh and blood and the threat to his life.
This was the first time that the Jin army encountered resistance in Daliang City, and they suffered such heavy losses. When the surrounding people saw this, they naturally couldn't help but applaud in their hearts, but at the same time they began to worry about Shen Ao.
It is true that this person has the nickname of madman. But this time he did not hurt people, but killed people. Although it was said that it was due to the Jin army's aggressiveness, after all, he killed people. I don't know what the Jin army will do next. Zhongguo I can't bear it.
...
The scene that happened in the center of Xianwei was seen by many people, and the news spread all the way to the palace.
In the Hall of Yangxin, Emperor Qianwen continued to review the memorials as usual, but from time to time he would still stop writing as if he was thinking about something, which proved that his heart was not as plain as he appeared.
At this time, he was naturally aware of the fact that the Jin army was causing trouble in Daliang City. However, he did not take care of it. Firstly, he did not want to fall out with the King of Jin or start a fight before he could think of a suitable solution. Secondly, he also wanted the dignitaries and courtiers in the city to see the face of the Jin army. Should such an army be cut off and eliminated?
Of course, the most important point is waiting for the prince's statement.
Emperor Qianwen and the King of Jin faced off. One was his father and the other was his uncle. How the prince chose was very important. If he was willing to stand on his side, he would most likely take over the military power of the Jin army. In this way, Come, King Jin is like an eagle without wings, no threat.
It's just that the result is not satisfactory. These days, the prince has been closed in the East Palace every day, neither coming to see him nor the King of Jin. He actually chose to help both. This result really made Emperor Qianwen feel unhappy. For the prince Naturally, I became more and more disappointed.
Emperor Qianwen always attached great importance to Prince Tang Xin, and he was also an important prince who was always trained according to the emperor's standards.
The purpose of choosing to promote King Xiang as the prince's opponent is to train him. After all, compared to having only King Xiang as his opponent, once he becomes the emperor, there will only be more opponents, and there will be endless troubles. If even King Xiang were to If you can't deal with it, then how can you inherit the great cause and lead Daqian to strength and glory?
Not handing over military power is a manifestation of Emperor Qianwen's greed for power, and it is also a means of self-protection. If he hands over military power too early and cannot give up the throne, who knows what will happen over time?
The royal family has no family ties!
Facing the imperial power, there is no father or son!
Emperor Qianwen knew these truths very well. Because of his understanding, he would not hand over the military power so early. But if nothing unexpected happened, his position was really prepared to be passed to Tang Xin. This was something he was discussing with Li When the imperial concubine came together, she had made it very clear and said that she could issue secret decrees and send them to the prince in advance for him to keep.
Emperor Qianwen thought that he had made a lot of concessions. If it were not for the purpose of getting rid of the cancer of King Jin, he would not have made such a decision. Unfortunately, the prince did not believe these words. How could a prince who did not believe in himself sit on the throne? How about stabilizing the position of prince and becoming the future emperor?
If one day he really succeeds and becomes emperor, will he overthrow everything he has done? And what will he write in future history books?
This is a question that Emperor Qianwen didn't dare to think about. Rather than waiting for the prince's decision, it is better to say that he is giving the prince a last chance. If the prince does not grasp it or seize it, then this prince will I'm afraid it would really be replaced by someone else.
Thinking that he had cultivated him for many years without even basic trust between father and son, Emperor Qianwen felt a sense of loss, so much so that his appetite was not good these days, and everything he ate seemed to have no taste.
"Why are you so panicked?" Yan Fu's soft drink brought Emperor Qianwen's thoughts back to reality. He saw a young eunuch whispering something to Yan Fu nervously, and soon Yan Fu also With a shocked look on his face, he quickly waved his hand to signal the young eunuch to go out, and then came to Emperor Qianwen and said: "Your Majesty, something happened in Xianwei Juli. The guards of Duke Zhongguo killed three Jin soldiers, among whom Duke Zhongguo He also personally killed a thousand-household chief of the Jin army."
"What?" Emperor Qianwen's face changed drastically for a moment, and then he asked as if he remembered something, "Shouldn't he be in Hanshan Temple? Who allowed him to come out?"
"Your Majesty, today is the month of January. He will leave the temple as soon as the time is up." Yan Fu reminded loudly that this was what he had promised Master Xue at the beginning. This matter was reported to Emperor Qianwen at that time, and he also agreed. of.
"Is it one month so soon?" Emperor Qianwen looked embarrassed. But soon he no longer dwelled on this issue. He thought about the next development of things and Shen Ao's possible reaction.
The last time Shen Ao hurt the prince, he decided to send him away in anger, and even made the decision to hurt his body and save his life. What he was afraid of was that Shen Ao would continue to mess around, and the Daqian Dynasty There is no need for unstable factors or uncontrollable factors now. This is a provocation to his imperial power. Anyone who dares to do this will be eradicated without mercy, even if this person is his son or a private person... Give birth to a child.
