The Baxiang Festival in Xijiang is still very grand. The whole country celebrates together, and the people light up lights to welcome Emperor Chu.
Zhou Ranzhuo and Xia Jingyan were waiting in the inn outside the palace gate. Looking out the window, Emperor Chu stood on the palace gate. On the left were Gu Zheng and Dugu Shuning, and on the right were Prince Ling and Princess Ling. They were all dressed up and looking to the people at the gate.
Spread blessing money.
Emperor Chu looked expressionless and dull, but Zhou Ranzhuo didn't find it strange. He heard from Gu Zheng that he fed the emperors with chronic poison for two years in a row. Emperor Chu only occasionally seemed a little stupid now, and others couldn't see it.
If you had any clues, you would just think that Emperor Chu was old.
But this stupidity is very important to Zhou Ranzhuo's plan.
Xia Jingyan didn't notice Emperor Chu's actions, but he saw the thirteen Yu Heirs hidden behind the banquet beside the palace gate pillars. Xia Jingyan tightened his grip on his sword.
Following Xia Jingyan's instructions, Luo Bei brought two people from Tianzhu Pavilion to Xijiang Miyang. He used Tianzhu Pavilion's techniques to set up a military formation with grass and trees in advance, and waited for Xia Jingyan's order to distract the thirteen people.
As long as Emperor Chu dies, Yu Cheng's thirteen people will no longer care about him, and they will protect the next monarch, so there is no need to kill him, they only need to distract him, which will be much easier.
"Emperor Chu has returned to the palace, Yan'er, let's get ready." Zhou Ranzhao took Xia Jingyan's sweating hand, "Yan'er, are you afraid? Then I'll go, you wait for me here."
"No." Xia Jingyan shook his head and smiled at Zhou Ranzhuo, "Let's go."
What Gu Zheng said was indeed correct. None of the servants around Emperor Chu followed him. Prince Ling had already left. Gu Zheng only walked him to the door of the palace and then left too. He turned around and glanced at Zhou Ranzhuo who was hiding in the dark.
, Zhou Ranzhuo nodded.
The bedroom door is closed.
Xia Jingyan lowered his head and took one last look at the picture of Yu Cheng's hiding place that Gu Zheng had given him. He finally tore it up, took out his sword and hid in front of the window with Zhou Ranzhuo. Through the gaps, he could see the hidden guards hanging on the beams.
Zhou Ranzhuo took out the smoke and blew it into the dormitory. Several hidden guards and Emperor Chu fell immediately. Just as Zhou Ranzhuo was about to go in, Xia Jingyan held him back.
Xia Jingyan didn't say anything, but took out a fire stick and lit it. Zhou Ranzhuo hurriedly stopped him. The fire light hit the two people's shadows on the window, wouldn't it be exposed? But it was too late. As expected, the hidden guard was pretending to be faint, and he immediately used Qinggong to the window.
Fly here.
But what Zhou Ranzhuo didn't expect was that Xia Jingyan led him to squat down, and another figure flew up from the wall behind them and flew towards the harem. The hidden guard also chased after him, completely avoiding the danger.
"Yan'er! What is that?!" Zhou Ranzhuo touched the wall behind him. How could a person come out of the wall?
"Paper shadow, Tianzhu Pavilion's trick." Xia Jingyan said as he glanced sideways into the palace, and sure enough, there were still two Yu Chengren with their eyes open.
She continued: "Ranzhuo, there are four people in Yu Cheng who are invulnerable to poison. I asked Luo Beizhi to take away two of them. The remaining two are up to us."
"Okay." Although he was surprised, Zhou Ranzhuo still took care of business first.
The two of them broke the window and entered the palace one after the other.
"Protect him!" Two hidden guards guarded Emperor Chu.
One of the hidden guards came up with a whip. Xia Jingyan swung his broken jade sword and cut off half of it at once. Not to mention the hidden guards, Zhou Ranzhuo was dumbfounded.
That whip is made of iron!
Don't say too much. Seeing that the hidden guard who was competing with Xia Jingyan had already fallen behind, the other hidden guard immediately panicked and hurriedly wanted to kill Zhou Ranzhuo to help him, but how could Zhou Ranzhuo be so easy to get rid of?
There are three great masters and five minor masters in the four rivers of the world. Zhou Ranzhuo is one of the five minor masters. No matter how powerful Yu Chengjun is, he can't be among the masters. What Zhou Ranzhuo is nervous about is the total number of Yu Cheng's thirteen people.
That formation is difficult to decipher, but killing two of them is as easy as twirling flies?
Zhou Ran jumped up from the ground and raised his sword to wrap around Yu Chengyin Guard's long whip. When he got close to the Yin Guard's side, he used his inner strength to hit the Yin Guard with a palm. The Yin Guard immediately flew out and vomited blood and fell to the ground.
Looking at the other side, after Xia Jingyan cut off the long whip, he spun a flying knife out of his sleeve. The hidden guard only knew that the sword had just flown out of his eyes, and before he could see clearly, the flying knife had already penetrated him.
in vivo.
Both hidden guards fell. Although they were not dead, they were unable to fight back. The entire fight lasted less than three rounds.
Zhou Ranzhuo was a little disdainful, Yu Chengjun? That's it? How did they protect Emperor Chu?
Xia Jingyan glanced at him, and Zhou Ranzhuo took out a short knife from his sleeve and threw it at Emperor Chu. Seeing that the tip of the short knife was about to touch Emperor Chu's face, no one expected:
Emperor Chu actually grabbed the dagger!
"Ranzhuo!" Xia Jingyan quickly called Zhou Ranzhuo who almost left.
The two of them watched helplessly as the stupid Emperor Chu, who should have fainted, sat up.
Zhou Ranzhuo actually knew that Emperor Chu was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. He was one of the three great masters, and he was not as good as him. But he had to pretend to be surprised at this moment. Anyway, the plan had been laid out, so that no one would be suspicious.
At this moment, Gu Zheng burst in through the door.
"Master Zhou, be careful! He is the Grand Master!" Gu Zheng shouted.
It seemed that this was going according to his plan. Zhou Ranzhuo smiled in his heart and turned to face Emperor Chu with his sword drawn.
I don’t know how long this struggle will last, and I don’t know what damage will be caused.
Dugu Shuning, it depends on when you come.
"My good son." Emperor Chu snorted coldly and waved his hands. The remaining nine people in Yu Cheng all woke up in an instant, and the two people who were lured away by Luo Bei also flew back.
"Pavilion Master, be careful!" Luo Bei also followed from the window, holding a sword to protect Xia Jingyan.
"Hit!" Zhou Ranzhuo shouted.
Immediately, Chu Huang on one side and Zhou Ranzhuo on the other side became one with each other.
"Set up the formation!" Yu Cheng's remaining eleven people walked in a circle to surround them, and Zhou Ranzhuo and his party immediately stood guard outside back to back.
"Array!" Xia Jingyan informed Luobei.
Luo Bei understood immediately, and the two of them smashed off a section of the middle part of the sword together, and dug out a sword-shaped hole in the middle of the sword. When the long whips of the eleven men struck, the two of them jumped up, one on each side.
The long whip was completely penetrated into the hollow of the sword and unable to move.
Emperor Chu rushed towards him with his sword. Unlike Yu Cheng and the other eleven people, he was the Grand Master after all. If there were only those few hidden guards, the little Grandmaster Xia Jingyan and Luo Bei would be enough to deal with it. However, Emperor Chu was different.
They were no match for him. To protect Xia Jingyan, Zhou Ranzhuo and Gu Zheng stepped out of the formation to confront Emperor Chu.
Gu Zheng was the worst. Emperor Chu thought he was his biological son and wanted to kill his biological father, so he was the first one to attack him. How could Gu Zheng's skills compare to Emperor Chu's? Emperor Chu had been an old goblin for decades?
Gu Zheng was quickly defeated and was knocked upside down, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Prince!" Zhou Ranzhuo rushed forward to protect Gu Zheng.
This was to protect Gu Zheng, but it was also Zhou Ranzhuo's second plan.
"Ranzhuo!" Xia Jingyan threw away the hidden guard and stood in front of Zhou Ranzhuo.
Seeing that Emperor Chu's sword was approaching, Xia Jingyan closed his eyes and seemed to accept his fate.
But the result was different from what he imagined. Xia Jingyan heard a "dang" sound, followed by blood splashing.
Luo Bei stood in front of Xia Jingyan again. The sound was from Zhou Ranzhao's deflection of Emperor Chu's stab at Luo Bei. Luo Bei escaped death, but the sword cut off his left arm.
Xia Jingyan opened her eyes suddenly, pain mixed with disbelief, Luo Bei collapsed in front of her eyes.
"Bei'er!" Xia Jingyan quickly rushed to catch Luo Bei.
"Yan'er, be careful!" Zhou Ranzhuo came to protect Xia Jingyan again.
Gu Zheng raised his sword to resist Emperor Chu, and Zhou Ranzhuo also imprisoned Emperor Chu with him. However, Emperor Chu continued to exert force, and Zhou Ranzhuo and Gu Zheng could not resist for long.
At this moment, Zhou Ranzhuo's plan became another one.
Emperor Chu was suddenly stabbed from behind with a sword. He was immediately stunned. Not long after, he fell to the ground and died, with blood flowing all over the ground.
As expected, Emperor Chu fell to the ground, and behind him was Dugu Shuning, who was crying with fear and shivering.
The human heart is the human heart.
Zhou Ranzhuo smiled secretly, everyone present was just a chess piece.
The prince and prince cannot fight against the emperor, but it will be different if the emperor fights against the emperor.
Emperor Chu failed to defeat Zhou Ranzhao, but Zhou Ranzhao played a good game of chess. From then on, Xijiang was his world, and it was time for Xijiang to change its surname.
