Wang Defa's eyes were deep, and he changed from his usual cynical attitude, and looked at Shen Tuchuan with eyes full of pity and sympathy.
There must be a reason.
That was this poor man lying on his back, reminding him of the old man who sacrificed himself for the poor herdsmen on the prairie many years ago.
"Well......"
Seeing everything settled.
The host who was hiding in the corner cautiously poked his head out.
She glanced at the only bald man standing in the square, and showed a submissive smile.
"Obviously, the results of this martial arts battle have come to the fore."
Staggering across the mottled square.
The microphone in the host's hand trembled slightly, and he announced with horror on his face: "I declare that the winner is..."
"Wait a moment."
From the towering stands, a majestic voice suddenly interrupted the host's words.
Everyone followed the sound in unison.
However, they saw Xuanyuan Longcheng wearing a dragon robe, accompanied by the Forbidden Palace envoys on the left and right, overlooking Wang Defa and Shen Tuchuan in the audience.
"Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor..."
He shouted in horror.
The host in the square immediately knelt down respectfully, not daring to raise his head and look directly at the other person.
"I, I have something to say..."
Raising his chin proudly, Xuanyuan Longcheng looked calm, and his every move was filled with supreme imperial bearing.
As soon as the words fell——
Everyone present was silent and knelt down one after another on the spot.
The monarch of the Great Xia Empire had such a distinguished status that it was absolutely unprecedented and rare for him to appear in public and give lectures.
Even Prince Gong did not dare to be rude in the slightest. He quickly stood up and left his seat, facing the direction of the Emperor of Daxia, and silently bent down.
"What on earth does this guy want to do?"
Frowning.
Xue Yun took a step back and hid in the darkness, also puzzled by Xuanyuan Longcheng's actions.
Swinging his sleeves.
The Emperor of Daxia stood on the high platform with his hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes and glanced around the dilapidated square, and said solemnly: "I believe that everyone here should know the rules of the Daxia Empire's martial arts battles over the years."
"That's..."
After a pause, he looked at Wang Defa with gloomy eyes.
Xuanyuan Longcheng said word for word: "——Fight to the end, fight to the death!"
In fact.
Every martial arts competition is a large-scale weapon battle involving the participation of all forces in the imperial city.
Its purpose is to provide senior executives at all levels with an outlet to vent their dissatisfaction.
Of course, the big guys behind the scenes cannot show up in person, and the participants are almost all their masters.
The starting point of this kind of activity determines one thing.
There can only be one winner who survives in the end, otherwise, martial arts training will lose the true meaning of its existence.
Startled violently.
Everyone felt a moment of fear about this.
Xue Yun couldn't help but widen his eyes, clenching his fists, and an unpleasant premonition immediately surged into his heart.
"So, rules are rules."
He looked at the bald man with sharp eyes.
Xuanyuan Longcheng said coldly: "Without rules, the so-called martial arts practice will lose its value of existence."
"What do you mean?" Wang Defa asked doubtfully.
"Kill him..."
Condescendingly, he raised his hand and pointed at the weak Shen Tuchuan on the ground.
Xuanyuan Longcheng was unsmiling and said bluntly: "If you want to get a reward for the master behind you, kill your opponent with your own hands..."
Narrowed his eyes.
The Emperor of Daxia in front of him was aloof and smiled sternly.
"Such losers are not worthy of continuing to live in this world. Death is the best gift for them."
The shrill night wind blew across the square, and the biting chill spread across the sky, earth and sky along with the light of stardust.
Facing the emperor's proposal.
Everyone fell into silence one after another, and the entire square was as silent as a chill.
In fact.
The martial arts brawl is not just a recreational game for the powerful.
What it represents is the secret rivalry between those in power.
It not only differentiates between superior and inferior, but also determines life and death.
Anyway, those who died were only his subordinates, and the descendants of the major families and royal families would not hesitate at all. At most, they would just feel that they had lost their face.
But this cruel rule passed down cannot be easily broken.
If not.
As time goes by, the authority that originally belonged to the superior will definitely disappear.
This is something Xuanyuan Longcheng absolutely cannot tolerate.
"The Dog Emperor..."
If Xue Yundong watched the fire, he would immediately understand the profound meaning.
While secretly despising it, I had long been disappointed with the imperial power system of the Great Xia Empire.
Unexpectedly, in an instant, the entire auditorium in the square gradually began to sound silent urging.
"Kill, kill, kill..."
Not just the emperor.
Almost all the rich and powerful people present understood this and even shouted in unison.
For a while.
With shouts of death and drums beating, everyone in the square wanted Wang Defa to kill Shen Tuchuan.
"Damn, these bastards..."
The bald forehead was shining.
Wang Defa gritted his teeth and raised his head and glanced at the densely packed crowd in the stands. While feeling resentful, he was also so intimidated by the atmosphere that he did not dare to make any rash move for a long time.
"Let's do it..."
A sad smile.
Looking up at the gray night sky, Shen Tuchuan accepted his fate.
"We are all servants. There is no need to offend these dignitaries because of me. They are eager to vent their emptiness and dissatisfaction with life and blood. Why do you have to go against them?"
Close your eyes.
Shen Tuchuan said calmly: "Tonight, if I don't die, you will face disaster. There is no need for you and me to meet by chance..."
Disheartened, as if dead.
Spreading his limbs limply, Shen Tuchuan let out a long breath of relief, having given up resistance.
There is no greater sorrow than the death of one's heart.
He is just a lowly guard, and his defeat means losing his usefulness. This is his fate.
"Why don't you take action yet?"
He raised his eyebrows.
Xuanyuan Longcheng looked directly at the dazed bald man in the audience, and scolded in a deep voice: "Is it possible that you want to break the rules?"
"rule?"
He raised his hand and touched his forehead.
Wang Defa shook his head and smiled at himself, grinning: "Trampling on other people's freedom and dignity at will, what kind of rules is this?!"
He slowly raised his arm and raised his middle finger without hesitation towards the Emperor of Daxia on the high platform.
Wang Defa gritted his teeth and shouted: "Go ahead and eat shit, screw your mother's bullshit rules!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
His face suddenly turned livid, Xuanyuan Longcheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes, Long Yan was already furious.
