Chen Chao held the broken sword and slashed it down hard. The snow-white sword light came first, and then the majestic sword energy came over him. Lin Shan pressed forward behind him and kicked the spear with his toes. The tip of the spear hit the ground.
He opened a ravine and laid it across in front of him. Lin Shan held a spear in both hands and blocked it in front of him.
The broken knife slashed down, and a large amount of sparks fell.
But at the same time, Lin Shan could see with his naked eyes that a gap was instantly cut open by the broken knife on the shaft of the spear made of fine steel.
Lin Shan was a little shocked. The spear in his hand was forged by a craftsman from the Ministry of Industry. Although it was not a magic weapon, it could still be said to be pretty good. It could leave traces wherever it was struck by someone.
He was a little stunned, but at this moment, Chen Chao had wiped the spear shaft with the blade of the blade. As countless iron filings fell, the broken blade finally landed on the tip of the spear.
Chen Chao held the knife with one hand, but the other hand had already made a fist. He exerted a slight force, and his whole muscles were tense at this moment. This was accumulating strength, which meant that Chen Chao's next punch would definitely be quite terrifying, and Lin Shan also
Feeling the qi that was constantly gathering in his chest, he felt the threat of death, and then subconsciously wanted to retreat back.
Once he has such a thought, his aura will suddenly drop, similar to a person's mental energy. No matter what happens on weekdays, he can still hold on, because he has that energy in his heart, but once he encounters a difficult situation,
When the anger dissipates, it means that the person can no longer hold on.
This is especially true for warriors in the world.
Warriors are different from monks. They don’t have dazzling Taoism. They only have a hard-working body and an unyielding will. Therefore, warriors always move forward unswervingly when facing the enemy, fighting with determination to die. Therefore, when fighting, if it is not necessary, warriors
Will not take the initiative to retreat.
But the Lin Shan in front of him had already chosen to retreat before he could tell the difference with Chen Chao. This actually meant that the aura on his body was no longer there and the defeat was certain.
But if a person wants to retreat, he often cannot.
Lin Shan's fist, which had accumulated endless energy, hit the spear, and Lin Shan's hands instantly felt a huge force, and then his hands trembled and almost came out.
His body flew backwards uncontrollably, dragging two long ravines on the ground.
The deputy commander of Zuo Wei, at this moment, countless questions are constantly rising in his mind, that is, why is there such a big gap between Chen Chao and himself, who are both in the sea of suffering, and have not even set foot in the sea of suffering for a long time.
Just not allowing him to think too much, Chen Chao came to him again almost instantly, and then struck out with a knife.
Lin Shan subconsciously raised his hands, and the spear was once again placed in front of him, but then he saw a scene that made him extremely angry, that is, the young man in front of him smashed out a knife, and he didn't know when the broken knife was sheathed.
, at this moment, the sheathed and broken knives were smashed into the shaft of his spear!
This is naked humiliation!
Lin Shan's face was ugly, and his eyes were full of anger.
However, the young man struck down the scabbard again, and Lin Shan could no longer stand. He knelt down under the pressure of the knife, and appeared in front of Chen Chao in an extremely humiliating posture.
Lin Shan, who was kneeling on one knee in front of Chen Chao, had an unusual blush on his face.
Chen Chao looked at Lin Shan who was kneeling down at this moment, with a smile on his face, "Deputy Commander Lin, I cannot afford such a great gift from you."
What an extremely ironic scene.
"ah!"
Lin Shan shouted loudly and was about to stand up again, but was pressed tightly by the scabbard. No matter whether he exerted all his strength, he could not stand at this moment, even for a moment.
He is also in the sea of suffering, and his so-called senior, apart from the very beginning, has no power to resist now.
Chen Chao stared at the deputy commander who had been in Zuowei for more than twenty years, with a calm expression on his face, "For people like you, if you are older and have practiced for a longer time, then you must be better."
There is a chance of winning, but when I think about it, how can a young boy like you have the qualifications to fight with me? In fact, I can understand this idea, but what I can't understand is that when I took out all the provisions of the guarding yamen,
Why don't you know how to advance or retreat? Why, the price someone offered is too high? Don't you think about whether you have the ability to eat these things?"
Listening to a teenager who was only a teenager speaking these truths in his ears made Lin Shan even more angry. He had lived for so many years, why did a teenager need to look down on him so much?
But when he was once again accumulating energy in his body and wanted to make a last-ditch effort, Chen Chao withdrew the scabbard, allowing his pressure to dissipate instantly. But before he could react, Chen Chao grabbed the scabbard and slammed it down.
, this time, the originally damaged spear was completely smashed into pieces.
Then the scabbard fell down, crushing Lin Shan's shoulder bone instantly.
Just as Lin Shan was about to get up, he had no choice but to kneel down again, a stream of blood gushing out from his lips.
The scabbard fell on his shoulder, as heavy as a mountain, unable to resist it.
In the same sea of suffering, Lin Shan was completely defeated at this moment.
Moreover, the battle did not last long. In less than half an hour, he was completely defeated. The boy opposite him was always very relaxed and had no intention of risking his life.
Chen Chao looked at him with a smile and said, "At this moment, do you still don't understand why your body seems to be made of paper when you are also in the sea of suffering?"
Lin Shan stared at Chen Chao. He really didn't understand why there was such a big gap between him and the young man in front of him in the same miserable state.
Chen Chao stood in front of Lin Shan, probably talking to himself, or murmuring intentionally or unintentionally: "Do you suffer as much as I do?"
Every time he beat his body, Chen Chao almost had to push it to the limit that his body could not endure, and the number of times he beat it was countless more than that of an ordinary martial artist. It was precisely because of this beating that he could endure it.
There are results today.
Soon, Chen Chao came back to his senses, stared at Lin Shan in front of him, and said, "Where is the official seal?"
Lin Shan had already lost the strength to fight anymore and could not stand up, but he still remained silent.
Chen Chao said oh, but still seemed a little unwilling to ask: "Then tell me who promised you what?"
Lin Shan was still silent.
Chen Chao said: "Earlier, when I first met the guardian, he told me swornly that in the entire Liang Dynasty, only the Beijing and the guardian line were free of ghosts. Now, doesn't it look ridiculous?
"
Chen Chao knew that Lin Shan was a ghost long before he returned to Shendu, otherwise he would not have gone straight to Zuowei Yamen as soon as he returned to Shendu without going anywhere else.
A look of pain flashed in Lin Shan's eyes, and at this moment, there was only some regret left in his eyes.
In the early years, he was also a passionate man, especially after he entered the lineage of the Guardian, he firmly believed that he would never be sorry for the Liang Dynasty in this life. But as he grows older and everything changes, if he can still hold on
Original intention, that is what is truly amazing.
Lin Shan lost his mind and murmured: "I have worked diligently and conscientiously in Zuowei for so many years and have never let anyone down, but I am still not qualified to be this commander? What achievements do you have..."
His eyes became more and more confused. At this moment, he couldn't figure out why he didn't take the official position of commander after Song Lian resigned.
Chen Chao did not answer his question. Not everything in the world is reasonable, and not everything will make people wish.
Chen Chao probably knew that this would be the result. No one in the world would feel that he had done something wrong. There would always be various reasons to put the fault on others.
"If you do something like being a ghost, you will die."
The scabbard slipped.
Lin Shan's heart was filled with despair.
…
…
The wind and snow are still there.
Snowflakes kept falling, and as the snow became heavier and heavier, snow began to accumulate in the entire Zuowei Yamen courtyard.
The officials at Zuowei looked at the closed door and remained silent. There were sounds coming from inside before, but now, everything was silent and extremely quiet.
No one knows what happened inside. Many people are wondering whether the commander has been subdued? Or was he directly killed by the deputy commander?
If so, how will things develop...
Many people's thoughts were racing, but they suddenly stopped in an instant.
Because the door has been slowly opened.
A slender figure wearing a black official robe appeared in everyone's sight.
Just like when he came, the young man without any blood stain on his body casually carried Zuo Wei's official seal. The official seal, which was about the size of an egg, was at Chen Chao's fingertips, shaking it at will.
Seeing the official seal, many people's faces became a little ugly.
More people looked inside and saw that there was only a snowdrift in the courtyard.
"May I ask, Lord Commander, where is the deputy commander?"
Seeing that snowdrift, many people thought of the fate of the deputy commander, but they couldn't believe it.
Some people had the courage to speak. Although the official seal was already in Chen Chao's hands and the result was probably about to come out, they still wanted a result.
Chen Chao said calmly: "Dead."
Two simple words directly broke the hearts of many people.
The deputy commander of the Shendu Left Guard died in the hands of the commander. If such a thing was spread, I am afraid that no one would believe it. Even if one could not say, what happened tonight would make Zuo Wei
Wei became the laughing stock of the entire city of God and even the entire world.
Thinking of this, many people's faces turned ugly. Normally, they were extremely proud of being left-back officials. If something like this happened, how could they dare to tell people outside that they were left-back officials?
The honor and glory I had in the past are gone now.
There was an uproar, and even Weng Quan looked at Chen Chao in disbelief.
Many officials in Zuowei did not believe that Chen Chao would defeat Lin Shan, but Weng Quan did not believe that Chen Chao was so decisive. A deputy commander told him to kill at will.
Someone said, "Commander, you are the deputy commander. You have been serving at Zuowei for more than twenty years. How can you do whatever you want?"
The snow fell silently, but countless people were speaking, and the Zuowei Yamen was very noisy.
The person who spoke was none other than Yu Hua.
He looked at Chen Chao with an angry face at this moment.
He was the one who spoke before, but now he jumped out again, with anger in his eyes. Lin Shan's death seemed to have given him a huge blow, and he had completely ignored it at the moment.
Chen Chao ignored him, but looked at Weng Quan and said calmly: "After taking away his badge, from today on, he is no longer a member of the left guard."
Before getting the official seal, Chen Chao had told Yu Hua such a thing before. At that time, Yu Hua also said that as long as Chen Chao got the official seal, he would talk about such things again.
But who would have thought that not long after, Chen Chao would indeed get the official seal, and indeed he would be expelled from Zuowei.
Yu Hua's face changed slightly, but before he could speak, someone else spoke: "Master Commander, the Sword Master has served Zuo Wei for many years and has made countless achievements. Can he be treated like this?"
"If the commander is like this, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the brothers?"
The man stared intently at Chen Chao.
"This commander has a provision for guarding the yamen. It is clearly written in the Daliang Code. This deputy commander does not even want to recognize the Daliang Dynasty, so the commander naturally has no choice but to kill him."
"Why, do you also think that Daliang Law is a piece of paper?"
Chen Chao's words, murder and heart-breaking, no matter what, no one would dare to admit it.
When serving as an official in the Daliang Dynasty, if one does not recognize the Daliang Law, it would make no sense.
Sure enough, after Chen Chaoyi said these words, there was a brief silence in the room.
No one dares to refute this statement.
But someone soon said: "The Commander-in-Chief just wants justice. How could the Commander-in-Chief so hastily take away the position of Left Guard from the Commander-in-Chief?"
Chen Chao said calmly: "I act in accordance with Daliang Law, what do you want?"
The man said coldly: "Master Commander, you shouldn't be like this."
Chen Chao asked: "What if this commander really wants to do this?"
The man said without hesitation: "Then from today on, I will no longer serve Zuo Wei!"
Word by word, to the point.
An almost tragic atmosphere spread here.
Chen Chao said oh and said nonchalantly: "Then hand over your belt card."
Chen Chao's reaction shocked the man. He looked at Chen Chao and didn't understand why Chen Chao would do this.
"Who else wants to leave left-back today?"
Chen Chao's eyes scanned the surroundings, glancing over the faces of the left-back officials little by little.
As a result, several more people walked out.
Those people looked at Chen Chao, and the emotion in their eyes was very clear, that is, even if you get the official seal today, you will not be able to avoid betrayal, and the entire Zuowei will never be under your control.
Everyone was waiting for Chen Chao's decision and wanted to know what the commander would make in the end.
Just as they thought, if Chen Chao made a wrong decision, even if he got the official seal today, he would not really be able to control the entire left guard.
"No more? Who else is dissatisfied?"
Chen Chao looked at Weng Quan and said, "Take their badge."
After saying this, Chen Chao looked at them and said, "I know you are very unconvinced and have a lot to say, but I only have one thing to say."
Chen Chao smiled and said casually: "If you don't accept it, just hold it in."
