Chapter 97 Who Says Women Are Not as Good as Men (22)
Xiao Jiangze raised his gun to block it. The iron sword and the steel gun caused sparks from rubbing against each other. Neither of the two forces gave way to the other.
"Even if you don't have to compete, you have to compete."
Yu Tao held a sword, and Xiao Jiangze held a gun. Yu Tao tried his best to push forward, using his right foot, and Xiao Jiangze fell back slightly. The two of them went up and down, going back and forth. They fought several times, and it was difficult to tell who was better.
Just listen to the swords clashing and whining, like two white swords intertwined, inseparable.
"Dang——"
Between the two of them, one person's weapon flew between the walls. Yu Tao fell to the ground and pressed his chest with his hand. He couldn't suppress the blood in his throat. He said "Wow" and vomited a huge amount.
Blood.
"You lost." The tip of the long-tassel spear hung between Yu Tao's forehead, and the ridicule in Xiao Jiangze's eyes was clearly visible. "For the sake of you being a woman, I will spare your life for now."
Yu Tao's ribs were all broken. She pulled Xiao Jiangze's leather boots and bent her legs straight. There were a few blood marks on the bluestone tiles from her feet. Xiao Jiangze looked at Yu Tao as if he were looking at a dead fish and wanted to get rid of her.
, but Yu Tao's hand was clamped on his leg. Xiao Jiangze was furious and was about to knock Yu Tao unconscious with one hand.
"Well--"
The long tassel gun in Xiao Jiangze's palm fell to the ground with a sound. He pulled out his dagger and covered the big hole in his waist.
The instigator, Yu Tao, vomited a mouthful of blood, "Oh, you lost."
Xiao Jiangze also wanted to poke a big hole in Yu Tao's body with a short dagger, but his hands and feet were weak and he fell backward. His last words were: "The knife is poisonous."
The commander-in-chief of the Dianzhou capital who swept across one side just lost his life and died outside the Meridian Gate, under the sword of Yu Tao.
Yu Tao took off his armor, revealing the linen mourning clothes underneath. He took off the white cloth strips with blood spots on his wrists and tied them tightly in front of his forehead. He hit his knees on the stone tiles and cried loudly: "Father, mother, today
The body and bones of my enemy will avenge the resentful souls of my Yu family!"
Yu Tao kowtowed heavily, and she finally did it.
Then he lost strength and fainted.
Xiao Jiangze killed too many lives, and Rong Qiqi had no right to take away his grievances. He could only use the law to capture Xiao Jiangze's soul before black and white impermanence seduced him. What awaited him in hell was the judge's interrogation. Rong Qiqi estimated that Xiao Jiangze
If you are not locked up for hundreds of years, don't think about reincarnation.
Xiao Jingshun ordered De Liang to clean up the mess here, and saw that the soldiers who died on the ground had all turned into straw men, and everyone who saw it was surprised.
Rong Qiqi and Xu Hun stood on the city wall and looked around. The vendors on the street were gradually getting busy, and the hot smoke of fireworks was rising. The weather had been gloomy for several days, and it finally cleared up today. When the sun showed half of the sphere, then
The blood-stained bluestone ground returned to normal.
Xu Hun took a deep breath, "How did you think of dragging Xiao Jiangze over?"
Rong Qiqi also imitated Xu Hun and took a breath of fresh air. Her eyesight suddenly became clear and the cold air flowed into her five internal organs, making her energetic.
She half-squinted her eyes against the sunshine and was in a good mood, so she talked about her plans with Xiao Jingshun.
According to the agreement between Xu Hun and her, Xu Hun was responsible for stabilizing Wu Shuanglin, and at the same time, he also arranged for Yu Yuan to fake his death and hide it from Yu Tao.
Rong Qiqi found Xiao Jingshun and told him bluntly: "The person who first invaded the royal city back then was not you, Your Majesty, but Xiao Jiangze, the commander of the Dianzhou capital. Did I guess wrong?"
Xiao Jingshun lowered the corners of his mouth, and unconsciously caressed the jade ring with his fingers, "That's right, Xiao Jiangze and I are divided into two armies. Whoever enters the royal city first will be the new emperor. On the day when the city was broken, four soldiers from our military camp
A fire broke out below. The incident occurred suddenly, and numerous soldiers in the army were killed and injured. By the time I reorganized the army, Xiao Jiangze had already broken through the city and entered."
Rong Qiqi: "Could it be Xiao Jiangze who set the fire?"
As long as he thought of the raging fire that day and countless soldiers in the army died in the fire, the anger in his heart surged again, "That's right."
"After I found out the truth, I ordered people to guard the four city gates, rushed to Dianzhou, and captured Xiao Jiangze's biological mother before forcing him to retreat from me."
In fact, the emperor on the day he ascended the throne was not Xiao Jingshun, but Xiao Jiangze. Since the two were born very similar, no one found out about it.
Xiao Jingshun: "Xiao Jiangze was cold-blooded and ruthless. After breaking through the royal city, he allowed his subordinates to burn, kill, and loot, and committed all kinds of evil. General Yu, who was guarding the city at that time, refused to obey. The first thing Xiao Jiangze did when he entered the city was to kill the entire Yu family. But this kind of person,
He is actually a filial son! It’s ridiculous, it’s really ridiculous.”
It was Xiao Jiangze's sincere filial piety to the King of Dianzhou and his biological mother that made him particularly respected among the many children of the King of Dianzhou, and even threatened Xiao Jingshun's status as the legitimate son.
Xiao Jingshun laughed wildly, and the speed of turning the jade ring became more and more manic, "Master, do you know? I hate Xiao Jiangze's hypocritical face the most, it is really disgusting, a mere bastard still wants to fight with me, why should he?
If my father hadn't asked me to spare his life before he died, I would have wanted to tear that face apart."
"Since my father likes him so much, then Xiao Jiangze should stay in Dianzhou to accompany my father and stay with me for the rest of his life!"
Rong Qiqi did not expect that there would be such deep hatred between the two brothers. Xiao Jiangze happened to be the real murderer of the Yu family. The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend. Maybe Xiao Jingshun can cooperate with Yu Tao.
Rong Qiqi: "Your Majesty, Xiao Jiangze is responsible for the lives of hundreds of people in the Yu family. If Master Yu is not allowed to express such evil, she will always be a hidden danger."
"What do you mean by the Imperial Master?"
"Your Majesty, please agree to allow me to bring Xiao Jiangze to the royal city." Seeing Xiao Jingshun's unkind expression, Rong Qiqiu added, "Don't you want to see the arrogant and extravagant Xiao Jiangze in such embarrassment when a woman steps on him?"
What does it look like?”
Xiao Jingshun suddenly became interested, "Over there, do as the Imperial Master said."
Rong Qiqi got the order and did not leave immediately. Instead, he said: "I have one more request."
"Master, please speak."
"If Yutao wins, I beg your Majesty to promote her to the position of chief minister of the cabinet. If she loses, please let her live." Xiao Jingshun never thought of letting a woman reach the position of chief minister, and he couldn't do it anymore.
Rong Qiqi's face was lost, so he hesitated and said: "We will discuss this matter later."
Rong Qiqi's attitude was resolute, and he did not move, just looking at Xiao Jingshun, but he moved the dragon pattern on his shoulder forward.
Xiao Jingshun didn't know whether he was fascinated by Rong Qiqi's self-confidence or because he caught a glimpse of the dragon pattern. In short, he was convinced.
"That's right."
Xu Hun clicked his tongue twice, "Emperors have been ruthless since ancient times. They don't even care about the life of their biological brothers. If they die, they will die. He doesn't have any feeling at all?"
Before Rong Qiqi decided to bring Xiao Jiangze into the bureau, she hesitated and worried that if Xiao Jingshun couldn't let go of his brother, the plan would naturally not succeed. Whether it was luck or misfortune, Xiao Jingshun agreed.
Rong Qiqi was not overjoyed by Yu Tao's success. She asked Xu Hun, "Tell me, is it right or wrong for me to let Xiao Jiangze be Yu Tao's stepping stone?"
Xu Hun put aside his joking face and said seriously: "If Xiao Jiangze had no different intentions, he would not have followed you to the royal city without hesitation as soon as he heard you say that he was the chosen one."
"Xiao Jiangze voluntarily stood on this battlefield. When they dueled, Xiao Jiangze underestimated the enemy, which gave Yu Tao an opportunity. The person who killed him was Yu Tao, not you."
Rong Qiqi asked again: "What about Yu Tao? I have always been pushing Yu Tao forward, but I have never asked Yu Tao what she really thinks. Does she really want to be a pioneer in reform?
?Compared with the unpredictable officialdom, would she prefer to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, or marry an ordinary person to raise a husband and raise children?"
Xu Hun didn't think so, he said: "No, you know in your heart that Yu Tao is not that kind of person. She is not willing to live her whole life. She doesn't want to be trapped in a courtyard, hanging around her husband and children, so Yu Tao chose to take the scientific examination.
If Yu Tao had no ambition, she could have entered the palace and become a concubine instead of fighting with a bunch of big men."
Yu Tao's battlefield is not in the harem, but in the court. This chapter has been completed!
